MODULAR LUGGAGE

+ Futil Design has a great series of modular luggage. The base unit designed
for a 24-hour trip is the size of a carry-on and can be used as a backpack
as well. Put two of these together with the handle hardware and you’re good
for 2 days. The modules can be combined for a grouping of up to six units.

A MODERN CLASSIC

When we first saw the Font Clock in Milan in May, we knew that we witnessed
the launch of an instant classic. Seeing it in person 6 months later we know
that this is definitely a wonderful collectors item.

TRAVEL WITH STYLE

In 2008, Design Hotels™ celebrates its 15th year of existence: but to
celebrate they have chosen to focus on the future instead of looking back at
what they have accomplished. Design Hotels™ has added 38 new properties – all
exemplary in some way – to their portfolio, bringing their total membership to
162 hotels in 40 countries. Nice little christmas gift for design-travellers.

CHANEL FASHION STAGE

If you were invited to the Chanel Fashion show in Grand Palais last winter you know all about the white benches, each cushioned seat complete with a white Chanel blanket and Chanel thermos of hot jasmine tea to keep everyone busy while the paparazzi went hysterical swarming around Victoria Beckham one minute, and Avril Lavine, with ironed blonde locks, over the other side the next. For all others - enjoy the beautiful pictures of the chic white stage.
