Happy new year my dearest internet associates.
Welcome to another season of What’s hot in life and leisure? This year, we’ll be bringing in some of our highest-taste friends to answer alongside us.
Peruse the latest additions to the Club Poolsuite directory below - the full website for which is just a couple weeks away.

🔗 Added to Media → Music: Last year, I quietly pulled together the very best of our collaborators to launch a little agency called Poolsuite Partners, which will take on just a handful of projects per year: whatever feels genuinely exciting to us. One of the first projects to go live could not have fit that brief any better. Discover the internet listening lounge we built for our friends at Silent Songs. Pick a record from the shelf and settle into the conversation pit. The room is designed by one of my favourite architects & interior designers, Charlotte Taylor. Shout out everyone involved in bringing this wonderful piece of internet to life. Tip: Hit the dark mode button at the bottom left for a surprise.

🔗 Added to Resources → App: My good friend Aziz just launched a beautifully designed app for brewing better coffee. With recipes from roasters and baristas, plus timers and step-by-step guides. If you’re in Tokyo, do yourself a favour and take the short train down to Kamakura, hit Aziz and Burcu’s bakery, Pide, then wander to the beach to watch the surfers, cardamom bun in hand.
🔗 Added to Media → Book (Art): Diane Keaton once published a photo book of American hotel lobbies in the '80s. Here’s a link to a preview, or you can log into the Internet Archive to see the full thing. The bad news is there's only one copy on eBay and it's $460. (from Stephanie)
