A Subscription Service for Wonderful Things

2 New Subscriptions Launch: Poketo and #QTA

We’re ending February on a high note at Quarterly: We just launched two great new subscriptions!

The first is Poketo, a curated collection of design objects and beautiful home items. The Poketo motto is “Art For Your Everyday”——they’ll send you artful pieces you can actually use and keep.

And once you’ve got your home wares on lock … get ready to leave the house. Our second new subscription, #QTA, is all about Travel & Adventure (the ‘Q’ means it was curated by the Quarterly team). Our office is full of inveterate travelers, and #QTA mailings will be stuffed with our own favorite trip tools.

Grab #PKT01, #QTA01, or any of our many other great mailings today.

#FAR01: Timeless Tools

We’ve got a passion for all things analog at Quarterly——so we really loved the first mailing from Jeremy and Keenan of Wander. They wanted to feature classic objects that modernity hasn’t improved upon.

With a Holga camera, 120-format film, a classic Blackwing pencil, a custom journal, and some of the loveliest tape (yes, tape) we’ve ever touched, they certainly delivered.

Here’s an excerpt from their letter, and a few shots of the package contents. Curious? Grab their next mailing.

“For #FAR01, we’ve selected a set of tools we prefer to their digital equivalents. Introduced in Hong Kong in 1982 as a mass-market camera for the working class, the Holga’s low-cost, plastic construction yields images displaying a range of distortions that have become one of the camera’s most endearing features. The images produced by the Holga exemplify the French phrase ‘jolie laide’——they’re beautifully ugly”

#FAR01 and #F5203 See the Light

We’ve been packing like mad at Quarterly HQ this week, prepping the first box from the travelers at Wander (#FAR01), and the latest from Amanda and Merrill of Food52 (#F5203). Before we sealed them up in cardboard, we gave them one last hit of sunshine.

A close-up from FAR:

A dose of F52:

Both boxes ship out soon. We hope they’ll brighten a dark fall day!
