GREAT FINDS

PERFECT PALETTE

summer glowOrange and pink hues abound this time of year: cozy campfires, ripe melons, the sun’s sweet send-off into evening.

And while there are countless opportunities to enjoy the colors in nature, there are lots of ways to relish them at home, too. At just 14 inches tall and 13 inches wide, the compact Fyrkat Grill ($60, bodum.com) is perfect for impromptu

picnics on the terrace or in the park. In bright orange, it looks ablaze even before you light the charcoal.
