Steinway & Sons + Mickey Mouse
There is a musicality in cartoons that blends the auditory and the visual better than almost any other medium. The clash of symbols to denote destruction; a crooning saxophone begetting a mischievous turn; the unbridled joy expressed in the whistle of a mouse freshly animated. That last scene is perhaps the most famous instance of…

Havana Club —The Icónica Collection
They see themselves not as mere makers of an alcoholic beverage, but as a protector of something far more difficult to bottle. Rum is an island spirit in both meanings of the word. It begets visions of paradise, of piracy. It is a symbol of Cuba’s staunch rebellion against all who have tried to break…

TWIST/d — by Based Upon
Based Upon’s latest creation could happily occupy a room as a simple piece of art. It has no obligation to be a functional marvel of technology. It certainly doesn’t owe us such a bounty of musical possibilities. And yet, it delivers on the above to such astounding effect that one wonders what to label it.…

Rolls-Royce Cars celebrate London Craft Week
It seems that we are entering an age where the excitement of harnessing digital technology to create is at an all time high. The triumvirate of AI, faster processing times and near instant data-transfer have led to an abundance of abstract “creative” use cases being proposed; speed has begun to supersede quality. That’s why on…

The London — Based Upon meets Steinway & Sons
There is nothing more pure than authentic collaborations, ones where a synergistic combination of ideals leads to an end result that truly reflects both brands, yet showcases them in a new way. These collaborations are always more risky for legacy brands, ones with substantial heritage, established customer bases and hence, brands with more to lose.…

Rolls-Royce Syntopia — Textile Ambition
The idea of a bespoke Rolls-Royce will not immediately come across as revolutionary… because every Rolls-Royce in its essence is bespoke. The plethora of options, finishes — and now even models — means that trying to replicate another Rolls-Royce in its entirety would be a near impossible task. Your choice of thread on the indicator…

SPIRIOCAST — As if by Magic
Throughout history, music has always had the magical ability to shape the world around it by conducting, emotion, feeling and sentiment. That said, in a world where the digital streaming favours efficiency over quality, the idea of not only championing traditional formats of music, but progressing them, may seem a touch… alien. For Steinway &…

Car Diffuser — by Acqua di Parma + Poltrona Frau
It’s hard to get excited by the car fragrance options on the marketplace. Just as your choice in fragrance is seen as an extension of self, so is your choice of car, and as such it comes as great surprise to me that there has been such a dearth of options in the car fragrance…

First Look — Black Badge Cullinan by Rolls-Royce Motors
The thing about super luxury automotive is that there is so much to enjoy aside from their core function of being able to take you from “A-to-B”, at times it’s hard to know what aspect to focus on. When it comes to Rolls-Royce, this problem is amplified exponentially. That said, with the Rolls-Royce Black Badge…

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…

Johnnie Walker + Tom Dixon
The purpose of design has always been two-fold. While stylistic definition is at the forefront of any object, purpose, function and integration into daily life are just as pivotal.
