    The Trinity ONE: Coffee brewing reinvented

    Some things are a constant, part of a daily routine that shows no signs of changing – at least not in the imminent future. For me a morning coffee is very much part of that routine. The Trinity ONE coffee brewer is reminiscent of a sand timer; the slow compression of the coffee adding an almost…

    Reminisce | Nintendo GAME BOY 1up

    Nostalgia is a very popular lens to look through, as it allows us to look back at something imperfect from the past and make it perfect in our minds, ’rounding off the edges’ so to speak while comparing it with some modern imperfection currently riling us.

    DRIVEN | Alfa Romeo 4C Spider

    Truth be told, I was unaware what to expect with the Alfa Romeo 4C – and don’t get me wrong, it was nothing against the brand. I myself have been an Alfa Romeo owner, on more than one occasion, and have fallen in love with ‘Italianess’ of the car; the expressive drives and the consistent…

    GOLF TRACTION: Nike Flyknit Elite

    Y-3 + Virgin Galactic

    In January this year Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic project took another step in the direction of finality by announcing a collaboration with Adidas Y-3 to create bespoke space apparel for their flight crew.

    Petit Loire: Liquid Marble by Mathieu Lehanneur

    A marble sculpture in the Loire Valley would at first not seem like a oddity in itself, but look around the 16th-century castle Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire, you would be hard pressed to discern exactly where that sculpture is located. Yet despite appearances, the 330 lbs of marble takes centre stage in an otherwise seemingly ‘normal’…
