• Where to? | Central Hotel Ljubljana

    Where to? | Central Hotel Ljubljana

    It was the first time I’d been to Slovenia, and hence it was the first time I’d been to Ljubljana; the quaint capital city that is more a village in feel — and I mean that as a compliment. The friendly people with warm smiles, coupled with the small size of the city centre make for…

  • A Triumph in Design

    A Triumph in Design

    Over the past decade, Triumph has grown from a humble British motorcycle manufacturer to a genuine industry giant that produces in the range of 65,000 motorcycles per year, and it’s partly thanks to its impressive collection of retro-inspired motorcycles. From the Bonneville to the Scrambler and the Street Twin to the Speedmaster, there’s something for…

    INTERIORS | SHIRAZ Series by Apparatus Studio

    Interior design; it’s only recently that I’ve began to truly understand its real power. I mean I’ve always had an eye for things I like in environments that I frequent, but what has developed is a more “tangible” personal connection with my surrounding space – and it appears that in that I’m not alone. While…

  • DESIGN | Limited-Edition Wenger Wishbone Chair

    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…

  • Casa Elíptica by Mário Martins Atelier

    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…

  • TRAVEL | NINE POOLS by WATG

    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,…

  • VISION | Leica CL

    VISION | Leica CL

    There is something special about learning how to use a camera. The trials, tribulations and satisfaction (once mastered) are only comparative to learning how to ride a bike. However, in most cases the learning never really stops as there are always skills that can be nurtured. Leica have always assisted the development of its users…

  • The Iroko Concrete Chair

    The Iroko Concrete Chair

    “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…

    The NOVA Building | Luxury Residences

    Luxury can be translated in many ways when it comes to choosing your prospective home and it’s rare that you find all of those without compromise in one location. That said, a new option boasting the luxury space, value, proximity all with a community experience has emerged in Victoria. On the doorstep of Buckingham Palace, a…

    Technological advancements seem to come at a rapid rate in today’s forward thinking society. Hence it is of vital importance that the product in question fits in with our aesthetical – and technical – desires. Bring forth the Bild OLED by Loewe. The German TV brand present a model that is presented in a welcoming 55” and…

  • Metronome by Apparatus Studio

    Metronome by Apparatus Studio

    More akin to the design of the original metronome in early 17th Century, than it’s more recent musical counterpart, Metronome makes no sound but rather sheds light on your chosen area, adjustable via a mechanical pendulum. The patinated sphere of brass rests upon a conical base, a base which in contrast to the cool brass…

  • The Oitavos

    The Oitavos

    As you arrive you are greeted by the type visual that Instagram minimalists dream of; clean lines of the mirrored, crisp white front, cutting aesthetically into the rich blue skyline. I was later to find out that it was only the first of many photogenic angles boasted by the Oitavos Hotel; a white art-deco expanse…

  • FRAMED | HOUSE OF YARDS

    FRAMED | HOUSE OF YARDS

    The truth is, no one really likes the idea of working because if we did, then it wouldn’t really be work. That’s not to say that there is anything wrong with enjoying your work, but to prove my point, if there were no monies to be made, would you still do what you do…? I…

  • Hotel | ME London

    Hotel | ME London

    As you enter it’s hard to believe that you’ve just walked into Marconi House, the original London home of BBC Radio. Any BBC staff thinking of returning for the purpose of nostalgia will be well advised to refrain, for fear of tarnishing those very memories; the ME London is a stunning example what could have…
