This cute yellow fridge will give your home a pop of colour.
Festive gift giving can go one of two ways — presents can bring people together or make a person question whether the giver knows them at all.
Objects of Desire are hopefully the former more than the latter. During the holiday season and occasions all year round, the standards are high, the stakes are low (most of the time), but thoughtfulness should never be taken for granted.
Less is more
A modern Swedish skincare brand founded by model Roger Dupé, Melyon is developed with the notion of “skincare as self-love”, which was passed down to Dupé by his West African parents. Bring on the baobab oil for strength, longevity and preserving moisture in one’s skin. Melyon is the type of product you want on your vanity and to post on Instagram. Available at Apsley, Hyde Park.
