For the brave — The North Face Summit Series
It can be rough out there. Cold, hail, rain, gale – the weather is as unforgiving as it is unpredictable. The extremes of which are often deadly and debilitating and never to be taken lightly. It’s human nature, however, to play with fire and, with three other elements up for grabs; the outside world makes…

34 Mayfair x Ron Santiago de Cuba
Tucked away between Grosvenor Square and Mount Street, 34 Mayfair is something of a modern classic. It was opened by Richard Caring in 2011 and offers that special brand of sophistication that favours graces over airs. The setting is elegant, the food is exceptional, the staff are on point but, crucially, it is a warm…

Toscano — From Florence to the World
When it comes to the finer things in life, a cigar has always been perceived as the go-to for that added touch of class. It’s a sign of discerning taste, of a person who knows what to enjoy in life. It could be to accompany a good drink or for rounding off memorable evenings with…

Perini Navi — Masters of the sea
There is something unquestionably elegant to sailing craft, something that stirs your senses and turns your thoughts to the long history of maritime exploration and navigation across the seven seas. With motors far easier to steer, sighting a vessel travelling at full sail is a wondrous spectacle. So rarely in the word of super yachts…

Gulfstream — Design Takes Space
As I walked through Mayfair and turned down the relative tranquillity of Sackville Street, I suddenly felt the inclination to switch-up, mentally. It was as if my mind thought I was heading to a meeting with hedge fund partners to discuss the condition of my portfolio. I guess in some ways that’s precisely why this…

Re-Lived Nostalgia — The Virgin Hotel, Shoreditch
I wouldn’t call myself an active participant in the Shoreditch night scene. That’s not a slight on the vibrancy of the area, but more an indication of the stage of life I’ve reached, preferring the comfort of secluded conversation over fanfare, nuanced by a quality-over-quantity bar line-up, while being shrouded in the blanket of aesthetically…

Manuel Mathieu presents Archipelago
The olfactory is perhaps our most mystical sense. Everyone has been transported or transcended to a profound place or feeling by a nostalgic scent. It’s so affecting because it is typically unannounced, always invisible and yet so psychologically tangible. Scents are also incredibly difficult to attach to other mediums, with scratch ‘n sniff still being…

The Aberturret Estate House
It recently occurred to me that the darker the alcoholic beverage, the deeper the conversation that takes place while consuming it. Champagne is a drink for celebratory occasions, while vodka & gin are the backdrop to lighthearted gaiety, jokes and storytelling—lager is similarly aligned. But as you approach red wine, more serious conversations start to…

Montblanc — A pen worth writing for
Do many people own fountain pens anymore? It’s hard to know for sure, the incredible amount of noise delivered daily by a digitally biased ecosystem renders it nearly impossible to glean the true sentiment. I have to say, I take great comfort that I straddle eras; life pre- and post- internet. I remember sitting down…

Christie’s presents Au Bord Du Lac
Space: a boundless, three-dimensional extent in which objects and events occur and have relative position and direction. With such a definition, it’s hard to see space as anything other than otherworldly, but we inhabit it in every moment of the humdrum of our lives: crossing the hallway to brush your teeth, shuffling through a subway station,…

The Frozen Vignettes of Alex Prager
For much of her career, photographer Alex Prager has sought minute meaning in large, crowded compositions; often deftly nudging the viewer’s eye to a mischievously planted detail. Signatures on the cast of a high school football player, a bandage on the nose of a woman running in terror, the face in the reflection of a…

Florentine Kitchen Knives
It’s no coincidence that Florentine Kitchen Knives are able to invoke an almost borderless aesthetic that somehow exemplifies very specific cultures across the globe. Florentine Kitchen Knives is the brainchild Tomer Botner – an industrial designer who spent 10 years in the restaurant industry ruminating on how he could apply his very practical mastery of…

JOEL MEYEROWITZ | The Everyday Chaos of Ordinary Life
Good photographers have the ability see special moments in the mundane, while great photographers manage to capture them, immortalising them in the 2D format and enabling others to eternally share in a moment that at the time, was fleeting. Such is the skill of Joel Meyerowitz, an icon of contemporary photography often regarded as a…
