Herman Miller Recycled Eames Molded Plastic Chair

When Charles and Ray Eames first debuted their Molded Fiberglass Chairs in 1950, the use of recycled materials wasn’t really a consideration for, well, anyone. But times have changed, and so have the iconic chairs. Over the years, fiberglass was eschewed in favor of plastic, and now Herman Miller has introduced another milestone to the line by crafting its Eames Molded Plastic Chairs from 100 percent recycled plastic.

The new recycled makeup encompasses Herman Miller’s entire catalog of Eames Shell Chairs, resulting in a whopping 15 percent carbon reduction annually for the line. And to further mark the occasion, the brand is releasing nine new colorways of the ubiquitous seats, including Evergreen, Cocoa and Deep Yellow. Priced from $295, the chairs are available from Herman Miller’s online store.

With Labor Day in our review mirror and summer giving way to fall, it’s time to start preparing for colder times ahead. And that includes how we scent our homes. Outdoor Fellow has us covered in this regard with its latest candle. Inspired by chilly nights around the campfire with friends and family, the Campfire candle combines notes of sandalwood and white smoke with smoked amber, charred cedarwood and incense to create a warm and inviting fall scent that wraps around you like a cozy blanket.

For the fifth time, Boston beverage institutions Dunkin’ and Harpoon Brewery have come together for a coffee- and baked goods-inspired beer collab. For fall 2022’s version of the Harpoon Dunkin’ Box O’ Beer, the brands are introducing three entirely new flavors: Coffee Roll Cream Ale, Cold Brew Coffee Porter and Hazelnut Blonde Stout. Also back by popular (or unpopular?) demand is the Pumpkin Spiced Latte Ale, which boasts a new recipe and is brewed with pumpkin puree, cinnamon, Dunkin’ cold brew and oat milk for a creamy mouthfeel.

Whether you consider a PSL beer to be an ingenious evolution or an outright abomination, you’re probably going to want to try it either way. The Harpoon Dunkin’ Box O’ Beer mix pack contains three cans of each flavor and can be tracked down using Harpoon’s online beer finder.
