Get out and about this season, and spread some love to the neighborhood’s storefronts. I guarantee it’s way more fun than sitting in the glow of your laptop.

Malini and I managed to sniff out the most expensive bookends in the place, these very rare Carl Auböck pair in nickel and leather made for Wanamaker’s in the ’30s. $7500. So I am adding a more affordable set, on Patrick’s recommendation.
••• Also by Carl Auböck, but from the ’50s, in brass and leather. $3400.
••• And this fab robot lamp is a bright idea, and he’s Italian. $350.
