What To Do, See & Buy
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
In the pink
Who knew a pink plastic chair could be so alluring? The new 'Hero' model from contemporary Italian furniture-makers Calligaris comes in various lairy shades including lime-green, orange and white. Perfect for inside or out. £92.50 each, calligaris.com
Eye love
Pull Everything Out opens at Bristol's Spike Island gallery today. Expect 70 fabulous dayglo screen-prints from the late great Corita Kent, alongside a range of colourful pieces by Glasgow-based Irish-Canadian artist Ciara Phillips. Spikeisland.org.uk
Victorious sponge
Of all the slightly silly Olympic-themed paraphernalia we've seen recently, the rather charming patriotic paper Cake Top is our favourite. £3.50 from talkingtables.co.uk (Victoria sponge not included)
In step with nature
Publisher Taschen has reformatted Frans Lanting's awesome wildlife photo-book, LIFE, in a smaller, cheaper collection of his breathtaking images of animals and landscape. Featuring multicoloured jellyfish and some of the planet's finest creatures in high definition. £17.99, taschen.co.uk
Money bags
Obviously we can't possibly justify spending £1,545 on a handbag. But if we could, we'd be all over the pillar-box-red All Time leather number from Balenciaga, with gold embossing and a shiny padlock to keep your treasures safe. Sigh. Matchesfashion.com
Roll model
Online members site, Lux Fixe, brings flying ducks up to date with 'Ducks on a Pond', based on a vintage French design and part of a sweet wallpaper collection at the company's new luxury interiors shop, Squint. £70 per roll, squintlimited.com
