It is a waterproof device on sale for $134 (originally $179) at Amazon, part of a small Sonos sale that also includes a discount on the larger Sonos Move 2 (also currently at its lowest price ever).The Powerbeats Pro 2 are Beats' latest headphones, and you won't find them at their current $169.99 (originally $249.99) price point for a while. These are refurbished from Stack Social, and you can read more about them in this review. They're great for the gym, but if you're not a gym rat, there are other Beats on sale as well.There are some great budget headphones and earbuds on sale during Amazon's Memorial Day sale, but the Tozo OpenEarRing stand out as budget open ear headphones currently going for just $29.99 (originally $59.99).If you're looking for a solid phone at a good price for Memorial Day, consider the Google Pixel 9, currently $599 (originally $799). It's the best standard Pixel model so far, and it's at its lowest price right now. For those who want the latest phones, the Galaxy S25 Edge preorder deals with a $50 Amazon gift card are still live.The Original Peloton is $1,145 (originally $1,445), the cheapest it has dropped to this year. And if you're looking for more fitness equipment deals for Memorial Day, check out these from Amazon.Speaking of fitness, smartwatches and fitness trackers are also on sale, including Garmin smartwatches. The highlight is the Google Pixel Watch 2, which dropped in price to $149.99 (originally $249.99) after the release of the Pixel Watch 3. One of my favorite deals this week has been the BOGO sale from Sony. You can buy the new Bravia 8 II OLED Google TV starting at $3,499 and get a free a X77L LED Google TV, valued at $589.99.Memorial Day also means getting deals on tools, and Amazon has them going up to 60% off right now. This Craftsman 230-piece mechanics tool set is on sale for $99, 50% off its regular price. It comes with ratchets, wrenches, a hand-held screwdriver, and several specialty bits.As usual with most Memorial Day deals, you can find mattresses on sale, but the i8 Smart Bed is not a regular mattress. You can read about my experience with this smart bed with adjustable firmness and a companion app that tracks your sleep. It is currently 30% off during the Memorial Day sale.It's crazy to think you can get Apple's latest MacBook Air with an M4 chip for $899 (originally $999). A couple of months ago, that money got you the M2, but now you can get the best MacBook for most people at the same price.

Explorations in material take on a deeper meaning in the work of these four talented makers, whose collectible objects are as functional as they are covetable. We sat down with Chuma Maweni, Osanna Visconti, Simone Bodmer-Turner, and Ombia Studio Founder Cristina Moreno to talk about unexpected sources of inspiration, pivotal career moments, and experiences that shaped who they are and how they create today. Chuma Maweni The South Africa–based ceramist has put his stamp on traditional Zulu and Xhosa techniques.Gerheardt CoetzeeChuma Maweni in his Cape Town studio.When did you first think of yourself as a creator?CM: There wasn’t a defining moment that I remember, more a realization a few years ago that people, from curators to collectors to family, had started to take notice of my work and wanted to know more about it. That was a very affirming shift for me, particularly in terms of how my parents saw me.Lea CraffordChuma Maweni’s Zoliswa (Qavashe), a rounded mirror with a frame made of clay tiles.What would surprise people most about your process?CM: People are surprised when they realize that my works are made from clay. They often think they’re made of wood. When people think about ceramics, they tend to think of sculpture and vessels, not furniture.Delaire GraffiSibane (Maweni) in glazed stoneware, glass, and steel.What was the last trip you took that sparked your creative output?CM: Going home to Mthatha is always inspiring for me and my work. When I’m there I can practice smoke-firing using cow dung. I can literally watch the cows in the field while I work! There’s something very interesting about this idea of going back to the source.Hayden Phipps and Southern GuildThe installation iMvelaphi, on view at Southern Guild in Cape Town in 2024.Who is your dream collaborator?CM: Within the stable of my gallery, Southern Guild, I would love to collaborate with Adam Birch and Zanele Muholi. Osanna ViscontiThe Milanese metalworker is well known for her elegant pieces made with the lost-wax casting technique.Federico VillaVisconti in her Milan studio. When did you first think of yourself as a creator?OV: Ever since I was a child. At school I would take pliers, thin golden thread, and beads into the classroom and produce pieces to share with my classmates.Osanna ViscontiOsanna Visconti’s Bambù bookshelf in natural bronze.What would surprise people most about your process?OV: My eclecticism, just like the matter I shape. I am an artisan and an artist, and my practice spans art and technique, beauty and function. I am not a sculptor nor an industrial designer, even though I share my approach and quest for meaning with design.Osanna ViscontiVisconti’s cast bronze Campanula floor lamp.What was the last trip you took that inspired your creative output?OV: It was in a weekend house, looking at a magnolia tree of considerable size, with branches touching the windows. I grasped the life cycle of a flower, nature’s most exquisite creation, and it inspired my Magnolia collection of furniture in natural bronze.Osanna ViscontiVisconti’s cast bronze Bambu armchair. What music do you listen to while you work?OV: All piano concertos by Sergei Rachmaninoff. Simone Bodmer-TurnerWorking in rural Massachusetts, Bodmer-Turner’s studio practice manages to span mediums and meanings.NEIGE THEBAULTBodmer-Turner applying a glaze to one of her chairs.When did you first think of yourself as a creator?SBT: I’ve always known one of my skills was being creative, but saying it out loud to my family, with the intention of doing creative work as my profession rather than as an extracurricular, set me on the path I am now on.What would surprise people most about your process?SBT: I do absolutely nothing with a computer or any technology—except email. Marco GallowayLamps from the Tulip series.What was the last trip you took that inspired your creative output?SBT: My partner and I have been learning to sail. Being on a boat in the middle of the ocean brings clarity, and the multipurposeness and collapsibility of spaces within a boat is so inspiring.What advice would you have for your younger self?SBT: Don’t tell yourself you can’t create something you’re passionate about just because you haven’t seen someone structure a practice that way before. Your gut will always know what’s right for you. Ombia StudioFrom her studio in Los Angeles, Cristina Moreno makes sculptural furniture in clay and wood.Courtesy of OmbiaOmbia Studio founder Cristina Morenoin her L.A. studio. When did you first think of yourself as a creator?CM: I started painting when I was two years old and have known ever since that creativity would forever be a part of me.David William BaumOmbia Studio’s Arena side table in ceramic.What would surprise people most about your process?CM: The technicality and how physically difficult it is to make these tables. When I have friends come by the studio, they’re always amazed—they never thought each piece could take so many steps and require so much muscle.David William BaumCleo, a five-legged ceramic side table.What was the last trip you took that impacted your creative output?CM: Production trips to Mexico City are always fruitful. Places that have a deep artisanal ancestry remind me that there is so much to learn, and beauty in the handmade. I’m still thinking about my trip to the gold museum in Bogotá, Colombia.David William BaumMusica, a sculptural dining chair.What was the last work of art you saw that inspired your output, and how?CM: I wouldn’t say art directly inspires my output. At least not consciously. I usually find that ancient functional objects are what really inspire me. This story originally appeared in the May 2025 issue of Elle Decor. SUBSCRIBE

Samsung wants you to have a lot of fun this weekend. Memorial Day means lots and lots of sales—but here’s one that you won’t forget any time soon. Right now, Samsung has slashed hundreds off its 49-inch Odyssey G9 monitors and you’ll get an extra 27-inch Odyssey G5 for free if you buy one. That’s an incredible deal, if you ask me. The Samsung Odyssey OLED G95SD is one of those massive ultrawide 49-inchers, complete with a 5120×1440 resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, and 0.03ms response time. The OLED panel elevates it to next-level greatness for ultra-vivid colors and deep blacks. Normally available for $2,199.98, right now you can get it for $1,899.99 (14% off). If that one’s too expensive but you still want an enormous 49-inch OLED ultrawide with 5120×1440 resolution, then jump on the Samsung Odyssey OLED G91SD. This one has a slower-but-still-fast 144Hz refresh rate, and it has the same 0.03ms response time. It’s normally available for $1,599.98, but you can get it now for $1,299.99 (19% off). And then there’s the Samsung Odyssey G95C, another huge 49-inch curved ultrawide monitor with that same luxurious 5120×1440 resolution along with a 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time. This one’s notably cheaper because it doesn’t have an OLED panel. Normally available for $1,599.98, right now you can get this super-large display with a gigantic discount for just $799.99 (50% off). Buy any of the above on-sale 49-inch Odyssey G9 gaming monitors and Samsung will throw in a 27-inch Odyssey G55C for free. This one has a more standard size but an excellent resolution of 2560×1440, a refresh rate of 165Hz, and a response time of 1ms. It’s a $299.99 value, which is pretty insane to give away in BOGO style like this. If you’ve been looking to upgrade your home PC setup, this is an incredible opportunity. With an ultrawide 49-incher and a 27-inch supplementary display, you’ll have the battlestation of your dreams for a crazy price. Don’t miss this chance!

Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.Memorial Day sales are in full swing, you can find deals on smart beds, tools, Beats headphones, budget headphones, fitness equipment, and much more. Sony has joined the holiday madness and is offering a buy one, get one free (BOGO) deal when you buy a Bravia 8 II OLED Google TV. Purchase one of these top of the line sets, which start at $3,499.99, and you'll get a X77L LED Google TV, valued at $589.99, free. The deal runs through June 8. Model: K-55XR80M2 BRAVIA 8 II 55” Class QD-OLED 4K HDR Google TV (2025) $3,499.99 at Sony Get Deal Get Deal $3,499.99 at Sony Model: K-65XR80M2 BRAVIA 8 II 65” Class QD-OLED 4K HDR Google TV (2025) $3,999.97 at Sony Get Deal Get Deal $3,999.97 at Sony SEE -1 MORE To qualify for the free TV, you can choose between the 55-inch and the 65-inch Bravia 8 II classes. Both will get you the X77L LED Google TV, but buying the 55-inch OLED will get you the 50-inch X77L, while choosing a 65-inch OLED will get you the 55-inch X77L. The Bravia 8 II is a new OLED from this year, and it's the same price on Amazon and Best Buy without the free LED TV. Sony also offers free shipping with your BOGO purchase, so that won't cut into the deal either.The Bravia 8 II is the successor to the Bravia 8, and has some impressive specs: eight million self-lit pixels, a Quantum Dot panel, XR Triluminos Max to enhance colors and brightness, and an AI-powered XR Processor that enhances images in real time. Both TVs have Google TV built-in—my personal favorite TV operating system, as it allows you to cast your smartphone to the TV. The Bravia 8 II is an OLED set, which is among the best technology you can get right now in terms of picture quality. (An OLED is different from a QLED, so make sure you understand the differences before you buy.) The Sony X77L you'll get free is more of an entry-level model, but should still serve you well if you just need a set for a second bedroom.

BOGO isn't just for shoes. As part of a Memorial Day promotion, Sony is giving away a free X77L 4K Google TV to anyone who buys its latest flagship panel.

Mike Rupp (left) and Shawn Henderson debut Pyrion, a new lighting collection available through Hostler | Burrows.With the debut of Pyrion, designer Shawn Henderson and Mike Rupp of Rupp Studio introduce a lighting collection that transforms tactile yet minimal table and floor lamps into collectible design pieces. Rooted in sculptural minimalism, each piece takes the form of a pyramid, its surface hand-finished with a spray metal technique that mimics the rich patina of cast bronze. Complementing this architectural form are handwoven shades from Colombian atelier VERDI, crafted from Yaré vine and metallic threads. They infuse each fixture with a tactile contrast of earthiness and refinement.The collaboration is a study in balance, shaped by a shared design language. “Pyrion came out of a shared love for restraint and richness—how one shape, when made with intention, can feel both powerful and quiet,” says Rupp.Ethan HerringtonThe pyramid informs the collection’s hand-polished lamp bases and custom shades created in partnership with VERDI.In this exclusive Q&A, Henderson, a member of ELLE DECOR’s A-List, discusses the origins of Pyrion, his obsession with proportion, and how a unique design tête-à-tête helped create this notable collaboration. Available exclusively through Hostler | Burrows in both New York City and Los Angeles.ELLE DECOR: HOW DID YOU FIRST BECOME ACQUAINTED WITH MIKE? AND WHAT INSPIRED A LIGHTING-SPECIFIC COLLECTION?Shawn Henderson: Mike and I have been friends for many years and have collaborated on design throughout much of that time. Casual conversations gradually turned into a shared curiosity about doing something creative together. We both feel there’s a real void in the market for special lighting, so it felt like the right place to begin—designing lamps that sit at the intersection of architecture, sculpture, and atmosphere, all things we’re naturally drawn to in our work.Ethan HerringtonPyrion is made up of three distinctive lamps in three shade colors. Pictured above is the Pyrion Table Lamp.WHAT WERE YOUR MAIN SOURCES OF INSPIRATION FOR THE COLLECTION? We kept coming back to the idea of a singular, architectural shape—something clean and elemental, but not cold. We were thinking about ancient forms, like pyramids and obelisks, and how to reinterpret that kind of presence in a way that feels modern and quiet.HOW DID YOU BOTH BEGIN THE DESIGN PROCESS? It started with a shape—literally a triangle. We sketched, talked through proportions, passed ideas back and forth. It was very collaborative but intuitive. We were both aligned in wanting to do less, not more—to find strength in simplicity and let the materials do the work.AND, THIS LED TO PYRAMIDS. WHAT’S MEANINGFUL TO YOU ABOUT THIS SHAPE? There’s something timeless and grounded about a pyramid. It’s a shape that feels rooted and powerful, but also quiet. We liked that tension. Architecturally, it’s incredibly stable—and symbolically, it carries a sense of permanence and intention, which aligned with how we wanted these pieces to feel.Ethan HerringtonEach lamp is hand finished and features lamp shades made of Yaré threads.TELL US A BIT MORE ABOUT YOUR MATERIAL CHOICES FOR THE COLLECTION? We used Vero metal, which is a hand-applied liquid metal coating. It allowed us to get the feel and finish of cast metal, but with more control over weight and form. The process is incredibly hands-on—each base is polished by hand, so the surface has that human touch to it.THERE IS A TACTILITY TO THE CORDED LAMPSHADES. HOW DID YOU COME TO WORK WITH THIS UNIQUE MATERIAL? We partnered with VERDI, a Bogotá-based atelier that creates beautiful textiles from natural materials and metal. When we saw what they were doing with Yaré and metallic threads, we knew it was the right match. The fiber comes from the Colombian Amazon, and it has this amazing strength and texture—woven with copper or steel, it creates something that’s both wild and refined. It felt like the perfect counterpoint to the sculptural metal base.Ethan HerringtonThe Pyrion Floor Lamp transforms illumination into sculpture.WHAT'S IT LIKE TO WORK WITH A FELLOW INTERIOR DESIGNER?It’s kind of like finishing each other’s sentences—but visually. There’s a shorthand. We both understand proportion, materiality, restraint. There’s also a shared understanding of how pieces need to live in a room—not just how they look on a pedestal. That makes for a really fluid and grounded collaboration.This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
