" WE&amp;#039;RE MODERN AESTHETES. We like to surround ourselves with beautiful objects, but to us beautiful is a phone that shows us a color photo of each caller, a DVD projector that turns the living room into a cineplex, or a giant watch with lots of little dials that can take all of our vitals and weighs less than a handful of breath strips. That said, occasionally we get excited about stuff that takes us back to the bygone 20th century. It&amp;#039;s romantic of us; we wouldn&amp;#039;t really want to return to those primitive presilicon, pretitanium days--remember those phones with cords on them? -- but we like modern versions of the classics, if only to remind us of how far we&amp;#039;ve come.  MID-CENTURY COOL  For anyone who likes design, Vitra is a leader in licensed reproductions of classic mid-century furniture, like this latest, the &amp;#039;58 cone chair, which is convincing enough that we can taste the martinis and hear Perry Como&amp;#039;s voice spinning on the hi-fi. $1,990; vitra.com.  WOODEN STYLE Bedecking limeys since 1781, Asprey will open a store in New York this season, offering us Yanks a shot at its collection of rare books, ready-to-wear apparel, and accessories like these sweet sterling-silver-and-wood cuff links. $250; asprey.com.  FINE POINT Maybe the finest, fanciest pen known to man, here&amp;#039;s your instrument for penning the next great American novel. Italian manufacturer Omas has been at it since 1925, and each writing utensil, including this 360 fountain pen in blue-black resin, is a work of art in itself. $425; omas.net.  ETERNITY AND BEYOND  Fifteen years after it came out, Calvin Klein&amp;#039;s Eternity is getting a new marketing push to help it live up to its name. $50 for 3.4 oz; 800-294-7978.  FIRE IT UP  Alfred Dunhill has been providing gentlemen with all the accoutrements of gentlemanhood since 1893. The latest line includes vintage cocktail sets and this old-fashioned lighter in silver-plated brass, a sort of rich man&amp;#039;s Zippo, if you will. $345; dunhill.com.  PLAYER&amp;#039;S FOOTBALL Makes sense that leather-goods maker Coach would come to dabble in the great sport of football, considering that it&amp;#039;s an all-American company--founded in New York in 1941--and has, throughout its history, worked in skins. Despite its vintage look, this ball is made not from pigskin but from the fine tanned cowhide that Coach is famous for. It still looks every bit like something you&amp;#039;d find behind glass in Canton, Ohio. $198; 866-262-2440. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
