For its 50th anniversary, Crate and Barrel asked a a handful of artists to spiff up its white Arzberg teapot, a Bauhaus-inspired piece that's been in production since the retailer opened in 1962. Kicking off a series of limited-edition designs is Helsinki-based illustrator and graphic designer Janine Rewell, who took cues from the teapot's shape: "It inspired me of the endless seas of our globe and I started to build a story around a sea journey." $200 at Crate and Barrel.
