It’s been a week since Curated Supply went live, and I’m incredibly grateful for the support so far. This was originally posted for the newsletter which you can subscribe to here.

This first issue sets the tone with six objects that carry the quiet weight of design, shaped in steel, acrylic, and time.

1. MemoBottle A5 Stainless Steel

The MemoBottle A5 Stainless Steel is more than a water bottle. Designed in the proportions of a notebook, it redefines what a stainless steel water bottle can be. Its slim, flat form slides easily into bags alongside books or a laptop, making it ideal for travel and work.

The brushed steel construction ensures long-lasting durability, resisting dents and scratches while maintaining a refined industrial look. A functional object elevated into a piece of modern everyday carry design.

2. Pulse (Tandem) by Breda

The Pulse Tandem by Breda is a minimalist stainless steel watch that challenges the traditional round form. Its rectangular case feels architectural, defined by sharp geometry and a brushed finish that adds depth and permanence. The dial combines analog and digital, bridging classic watchmaking with modern utility.

Worn on the wrist, it feels like a piece of contemporary design rather than ornamentation. A modern rectangular watch that values clarity and proportion above excess.

3. The Design Book by Phaidon

Compact yet comprehensive, The Design Book by Phaidon gathers 500 of the most iconic pieces of modern design and mid century modern furniture into one reference. Each entry captures how form, material, and function intersect to create enduring objects, from timeless chairs to everyday tools that became cultural symbols.

Its small scale makes it an accessible companion for study or inspiration, while its content spans generations of design. A must-have modern design book for anyone who values craft and history.

4. Lớp Small Square by Bâng

The Lớp Small Square is an acrylic side table that blends transparency with structure. Its clean geometry and balanced proportions create a sense of weightlessness, reflecting its surroundings while retaining an architectural presence.

Compact in scale yet sculptural in effect, it offers a fresh alternative to traditional furniture. Acrylic here is not just a material but a deliberate expression of modern design, producing a minimalist acrylic coffee table that feels both functional and striking.

5. Roller Steel by Ono

Roller Steel by Ono is a stainless steel desk accessory designed for touch and interaction. Its cylindrical form, heavy in hand and smooth in motion, serves as both sculpture and ritual object.

On the desk, it reads as precise and industrial, while in the hand it becomes grounding and meditative. A simple design that transforms into a tool for focus, it is part minimalist desk accessory and part modern sculpture, bridging utility and presence.

6. Dyvlinge by Ikea

The Dyvlinge lounge chair reflects Scandinavian lounge chair design in its purest form. Low to the ground with a tufted seat, it invites comfort without sacrificing proportion. The swivel base adds versatility, making it equally suited to living rooms, workspaces, or lounge areas.

Upholstered for both softness and structure, it embodies the Scandinavian balance of accessibility and clarity. A modern minimalist lounge chair that demonstrates how democratic design can remain considered and enduring.

Each of these six products carries something essential, whether it is the permanence of a stainless steel desk accessory, the lightness of a modern acrylic side table, or the quiet comfort of a Scandinavian lounge chair. They are not trends but markers of design that lasts, pieces that become part of daily rhythm rather than distractions from it.

This opening issue is only a beginning. Future editions will continue to explore considered tools, furniture, and references that balance material, proportion, and time. Minimal, durable, and always chosen with intent.
