The Surface Essentials
Our must-haves for the week: gold slippers, the ultimate sofa-bed, and more.
BY SURFACE June 27, 2017
- MARTINIANO GLOVE SHOES, IN GOLD
From $415; select retailers
“I wear these almost every day. Since I’m running on my second pair of black ones, I recently decided to go for the gold. They break up my wardrobe’s black, navy, and white palette nicely, and transition well from day to night.” —Renata Mosci, News Editor
- BRAUN CLASSIC TRAVEL ALARM CLOCK
$35; braun-clocks.com
“I keep this tiny clock in my bathroom at home, but wish I had one in every room. It’s discreet and functional, plus it’s one less screen I have to look at it.” —Simonetta Nieto, Designer
- B&B ITALIA SAKÉ SOFA-BED
$7,482; bebitalia.com
“I’ve struggled to find a daybed or futon I actually want—or one that’s even well-designed. At this year’s Salone del Mobile in Milan, I came across this new piece by Piero Lissoni for B&B Italia. It will make a perfect addition to my apartment’s guest room-slash-office.” —Spencer Bailey, Editor-in-Chief
- WHITE ELEPHANT, NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSETTS
From $280/night; whiteelephanthotel.com
“I’m a sucker for the classics. The White Elephant is to Nantucket as the Hassler is to Rome: old-school luxury from people who helped define the term. I can think of no better place to spend a week during the summer months.” —Charles Curkin, Director, Surface Studios
