5 picks for daily enjoyment: “Steady sprinklings of everyday indulgences are key”

Eero Nurmi, one of Finnish Design Shop’s writers, chose five products to make day-to-day life that little bit sweeter. In this column, the Finnish Design Shop employees tell their favorites from the online store's selection.

1. Georg Jensen: Bernadotte thermo jug

“Named after its original designer, the Swedish Prince Sigvard Bernadotte, this handsome jug transforms each coffee break into a royal affair. Both brisk breakfasts and lazy weekend brunches come alive with the elegant design.”
