The 15 Best Deals of the Week (Including a Sale on Japanese Pantry Staples)

We have finally reached air-fryer levels of heat in New York City, which means every bartender you know is toting their Coleman cooler to the nearest body of water before their shift and every office-goer is trying to figure out what level of ventilated shoe they can get away with. (Personally, I say let the platform Crocs rip.) 

We’re also edging some of the biggest sale events of the year: Amazon Prime Day, aka Bezos’ annual deals bacchanal, and an influx of Fourth of July sales on all kinds of summer-centric kitchen items, from Traeger grills to mid-century modern patio furniture; there are plenty of picnic table-ready finds, what with savings on gingham European linen tablecloths and tomato-shaped cocottes from heritage brands like Staub. 

Whether you’re restocking your somen noodles for easy, cool summer dinners or looking to save $640 on the ultimate outdoor sectional, this week’s deals are ripe for the picking. 

Article’s mid-century modern furniture is 40% off for the Fourth of July

There was a point a few years ago when every design-savvy apartment in Williamsburg had the cult-fave Sven sofa — and the company behind it, Article, has managed to maintain its place as one of the most prominent makers of mid-century-modern-style furniture. It has already kicked off its Fourth of July sale with deals of up to 40 percent off, and we have our eyes on its bistro sets, statement dining chairs, and an outdoor sectional worthy of a 1970s conversation pit.

Piglet in Bed’s cottagecore linens are on sale

I only discovered Piglet in Bed this past year, but the Horsham, U.K.-based brand is exactly what it sounds like: a purveyor of ultra-soft gingham linens, striped ceramic mugs, and other cottagecore items that would be right at home in Kate Winslet’s cottage in The Holiday. There are quite a few tablecloths, napkins, and throws for sale on the site right now that are made in Portugal from 100% natural stonewashed European linen.
