Leafy greens
A set of modern, nature-loving vases, $17.99 each at Hedge, proves that the bouquet itself is not the only place where the intricate grace of flora may be found. Petite in size, they’d do well cradling bold, single blooms, or even paintbrushes.

Future forward
Let’s take a few steps back…into the future? Donna Goodman’s A History of the Future discusses the work of visionary modern artists, designers and architects who were, throughout history, ahead of their time. Containing everything from Blade Runner to Da Vinci’s “Universal Man” to the 1990s Dutch MVRDV 3D-Garden design, this informative and entertaining book will delight architects, sociologists, historians, engineers and science fiction fans alike.—Caroline Edgeton
