Glass decanter, spoon, and silver tray  from Ralph Lauren Home, champagne flutes from Haviland.

This month we are showcasing a few new essential luxuries to come across our office lately. These pieces are selected not only for their high quality, but also their timeless aesthetic.

Superb lighters from S.T. Dupont

When we think of lighters, we immediately think of S.T. Dupont - and why wouldn’t we? The style and design is absolutely eternal, and with a touch of intrigue that you will be hard pressed to find elsewhere. As a lighter is an essential luxury, we think a lighter from S.T. Dupont is a wonderful upgrade from the neon bic. 

Seen here: Left, Ligne 2 Microdiamond head yellow gold and matt black lacquer lighter. Right, Le Grand S.T. Dupont Derby yellow gold lighter.

The infamous Onassis sunglasses from François Pinton. 

We finally found the infamous Onassis glasses, and lo and behold, they come from the French glasses manufacturer François Pinton. If you are looking for a little Mediterranean flair this summer, look no further.

Seen here: ONA O in brown, from François Pinton.

Playing cards from Jaques London.

Graphic design on playing cards is a detail that is not to be overlooked. Jaques London is a classic company that remains faithful to a streamlined but traditional graphic layout. 

Seen here, Jaques London cards.

Plate from Ralph Lauren Home. Caviar and spoons from Kaviari. Fork, butter knife, and knife from Haviland. 

Caviar is a staple at Sky Blue. Kaviari is generous enough to keep our fridge stocked this summer with a lovely variety of caviars. We decided to try some on this lovely plate from Ralph Lauren. 

Seen here: Caviars from Kaviari Paris served on a Ralph Lauren Wilshire oval platter with Capitole cutlery from Haviland.
