Every week, Boss Huntingโ€™s editors spend far too much time scouring the web: in search of the coolest gear, food & drink, and destinations worth trekking to across the globe.

In yet another edition of โ€˜Good Findsโ€™, weโ€™ve got motorcycle-mounted fast chargers and a summery aperitif (made right in the heart of Melbourne) thatโ€™ll make you rethink vermouth. Plusโ€ฆplenty more.

Peak Design Motorcycle Phone Mount With Qi2 Charging

A recommendation from none other than Jack Slade โ€” BHโ€™s techy, gear-fixated MD โ€” these motorcycle mounts for your phone, designed by California-based Peak Design, drew five times the financial backing needed to bring them to market. Itโ€™s not hard to see why.

Available in multiple โ€œhard-locking, fast-chargingโ€ configurations, thereโ€™s a mount here to suit virtually every kind of two-wheel personal vehicle.

Even the most basic versions come with a magnetic locking mechanism and vibration dampers that protect your cellular on the road.

But really, what you want is the version that comes with Qi2 wireless charging. If the on-site testimonials are anything to go by, this is the worldโ€™s โ€œbest phone mounting systemโ€ by a country mile.

Knoll Tugendhatโ„ข Chair

Good Finds

Leave it to our colleague Nick Kenyon, Mister-Murano-glassware-and-weirdly-shaped-watches, to spruik this โ€˜Tugendhatโ€™ lounge chair: an authorised limited-time reproduction of Ludwig Mies van der Roheโ€™s design of the same name, first released in 1929.

The legendary Bauhaus architect might be best remembered for his contributions to the built environment, but equally, this princely bit of home dรฉcor embodies his adherence to the principle that โ€œless is moreโ€.

Set atop a cantilevered steel frame, Knoll allows buyers to customise these modern Tugendhats with a dozen different types of cushioning and two metal finishes.

Morena Restaurant (Martin Place, Sydney)

Morena restaurant Sydney

When it comes to restaurants, Nick Mayor, BHโ€˜s resident ex-hospo guru, doesnโ€™t give out compliments freely, so when he slipped into the work chat last week to declare Sydneyโ€™s Morena โ€œthoroughly enjoyableโ€ we knew it was a lock for โ€˜Good Findsโ€™.

Chef Alejandro Saraviaโ€™s highly polished lens on various โ€œdiverse cuisines from across Latin American cultureโ€, this venue seemingly has something for everybody.

The historic GPO setting will please power-lunching executives and content creators alike. And if youโ€™re keen for a primer in Latin American cookery? Few restaurants offer as exhaustive a spread.

From classic ceviche seasoned with leche de tigre to a range of beef, fish, and lamb cooked in the asado style this is one weekend dining date you donโ€™t want to miss out on.

Saison โ€˜Summer Flowersโ€™ Vermouth

Saison vermouth

At last, a wine distillate thatโ€™s fresh, easy-drinking and stacked with seasonal complexity.

Weโ€™d expect nothing less from Dave Verheul โ€” also of EMBLA fame โ€” who has long been a master of the addictive interplay between fruit and bitter botanicals.

Despite the โ€˜Summer Flowersโ€™ label, rest assured that you can basically start drinking this immediately. On a crisp spring afternoon, with a lashing of tonic and bowl of olives, I canโ€™t think of anything better to be honest.

Santa Maria Novella โ€˜Idraliaโ€™ Moisturising Mask

Part of Florentine apothecary Santa Maria Novellaโ€™s broader โ€˜Idraliaโ€™ skincare line, this moisturizing mask is a gentle formulation: full of lo-fi ingredients like shea butter and Damascene rose extract.

Best applied as the last step in your nighttime skincare regimen (ideally overnight, if youโ€™re so inclined).
