Charlie Casely-Hayford’s Favorite Things

“When the evening calls for something unexpected. Handcrafted in Italy with a bold hexagonal shape and mismatched rims that feel almost irreverent, they’re as much a conversation starter as they are a vessel.”

“Understated, adaptable, and just the right amount of utilitarian. These sneakers are the perfect modern accent piece for dressier looks and more relaxed silhouettes.”

“The kind of chair that doesn’t try to steal the show but somehow always does. Its mix of teak and cane feels honest and unpretentious—perfect for everything from a quiet coffee to a marathon design session.”

“A small, unexpected piece that brings a hint of whimsy to any space. Galerie Alyssa Kapito’s Vase 02 is a nod to playfulness with quiet elegance.”

“The Italian seaside captured in vivid detail—a moment of escape on any table. Nori brings this region’s textures and colors into focus without needing a plane ticket.”

“After my family this is probably my second love. There’s something about using it every evening that creates a sense of calm and marks the end of my day. It brings both precision and beauty to any culinary experience.”

“There’s something about putting pen to paper that’s grounding and forces me to disconnect from a screen. If I’m going to do it, I’m going to do it right. Métier is the only way.”

“Precision meets personality in this exquisite camera, with a timeless quality that feels both analog and cutting-edge. It’s as much a collector’s piece as it is for capturing life’s details.”

“Rimowa redefines what a suitcase should be—sleek, unbreakable, and somehow quietly iconic. I’m very old school in that I dress up to travel. My luggage sets the tone.”

“A cliché perhaps, but a must-have for sure. I have a Montblanc on my person at all time. Phone, keys, wallet, pen—go.”
