    DESIGN | Paul Mathieu x Willer Gallery

    French educated and Los Angeles inspired, Paul Mathieu’s work was destined to have a taste that belies elegance with cross-cultural relevance. By ‘work’ I’m referring to his recent furniture collection exhibited at the Willer Gallery in London. Debuting Mathieu’s Beam and Chateau lighting collections, as well an extended range of materials and finishes in the elegant…

    “Storage Almost Full” – a sight that sends a chill down the spine of iPhone users worldwide on a sadly regular basis. Fast forward two hours, having painstakingly gone through your files and removed the ones that you can (just) afford to live without, you’ve finally managed to get the message to disappear. Even then you…

    DESIGN | Limited-Edition Wenger Wishbone Chair

    “Take a seat” Some of the most reassuring and unnerving words ever spoken, depending both on their context and environment. In this case it is most certainly the former, as the heritage and design language of a Wenger chair belies comfort, and if not at the very least respect. The ever-current Hans J. Wegner would…

    LES BLEUS | Nike FFF World Cup Russia 2018 Kit

    “Allez Les Bleus!” roared triumphantly around the Stade de France as they dismantled yet another team, enroute to World Cup qualification. The victims this time? A Dutch team, low on confidence yes, but not in talent, as the exuberant French national side showed exactly why they’ll be considered a serious contender this summer when the…

    Casa Elíptica by Mário Martins Atelier

    When unveiling the designs for the Casa Eliptica, you would envisage that one of the first questions Architects Mario Martins Atelier faced was “But why..?”. Having seen the finished outcome there can of course be no further questioning, as even the most ardent rationalist would have to attest to its beauty. I am of course…

    CULLINAN | The new Rolls-Royce SUV

    “Take the best that exists and make it better”, a poignant motto and one from Rolls-Royce Cars founder Sir Henry Royce; little could he have envisaged what was to ensue in the following century of automotive brilliance.

    BAMFORD MAYFAIR | The Territory Pack

    The Bamford Mayfair collection returns in 2018 with a new aesthetic of vibrant and earthy colours in a capsule collection called the “Territory Pack”.

    TRAVEL | NINE POOLS by WATG

    It truly is magnificent, to be sat by the side of a pool with a picturesque view on holiday, gazing ‘into the unknown’ with that glazed non-purposeful look knowing that your only imperative tasks for the day are what to drink and when to drink it. This is the dream realised by Global hospitality design firm WATG,…

    Midleton Very Rare

    Whiskey has the ability to open up conversation like no other drink. I’m not just talking about effects pertaining to its alcohol content which ranges from the robust to the stupendous. No, I’m referring to the complexities of the drink itself, which are as disparate as they are similar igniting debate and discussion; the heart…

    “Please, take a seat” Some of the most gratifying words uttered after a long day standing, or even a day of sitting when you’ve temporarily had to stand. It could be on the course of that daily commute, having survived the game of musical chairs that plays itself out with every bus – or tube…

    Nike Mercurial Ultra Flyknit Vapor

    The football boot is a thing of wonder, a passenger in the journey over 90minutes but yet the focal point as they are involved – directly or indirectly – with every bit of drama that unfolds. A visual differentiator from distance, and an instant indication of footballing style and player personality, the football boot has…
