Far be it for us to actively hope for a blackout. All that banging into things and sloshing our wine is way less fun than it is in the movies. However, on the off-chance a little power outage should come our way, we’ll be seizing the day and whipping out our Tauro (now behave. It’s not how it sounds).

Handcrafted as a commission from Headlands Center for the Arts, the Tauro flashlight is fashioned from reclaimed wood and burnished with organic beeswax. Born of a passion for discarded, historically-rich materials, these dignified beauties hark back to a time when things were just made better. Come on, nightfall. We’re ready for you.
