BANG & OLUFSEN X ANTOLINI

Posted on 2025-01-13

Created in collaboration with renowned Italian natural stone house Antolini, this limited-edition release reimagines home audio as sculptural art, anchored by a striking marble plinth.

The Natura model rests on a meticulously carved base made from Antolini’s Exclusive and Precioustone Collections, featuring exquisite natural materials such as Cristallo Iceberg, Cristallo Vitrum “Wow” and petrified wood in rich, earthy tones. Beyond its visual appeal, the plinth is also engineered to enhance acoustic performance, minimizing vibrations and allowing sound to flow naturally throughout the space. A precision-matched anodized aluminum ring seamlessly transitions from the base to the speaker, striking a perfect balance between raw materiality and refined technology.

Only 16 units will be produced.

Each blade is engraved with “Kerrygold x Allday” and paired with a handle upcycled from Kerrygold’s own plastic tubs. Every handle features a unique, emerald marble-like pattern, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind.

SILENCE PLEASE – HUSH SPEAKER HIGH GLOSS GREEN

Posted on 2024-12-16

NYC-based Hi-Fi speaker studio Silence Please has revealed a new variant of its analog Hush speaker, a studio monitor designed for a rich listening experience that is also compact and aesthetically refined. Originally released in the glossy black, the new edition arrives in an not-so-subtle green guaranteed to pop out in any space.

Reminiscent of Bottega Veneta‘s signature hue, the bright green shade isn’t Silence Please’s foray into color. Many of the studio’s horn tweeters, have been seen in a similar green, as well as a primary red. As where before, many of the brand’s speakers have isolated the glossy finish to the tweeter and utilized diverse materials like wood and glass on the woofer, the new Hush speaker fully commits to the candy-like finish for maximum effect.

Posted on 2024-12-09

Carl Friedrik, the London-based luxury travel brand, has launched a new collection of soft leather bags just in time for Spring.

Sonder comprises three styles the brand says were “designed for sartorialists on the move”, including the Ayrton Backpack, Dunloe Briefcase and Granville Weekender, which the brand describes as part of an “initial launch”, perhaps alluding to more to come down the line.

Carefully designed with Carl Friedrik’s signature minimalism, the new bags offer ample storage for a range of travel scenarios: the Ayrton Backpack, a “suave everyday” option, features a simple two pocket solution and fits a 16-inch laptop in its integrated sleeve; the Dunloe Briefcase, made with supple full-grain leather, includes multiple magnetic pockets and an internal zippered pocket, as well as having its own 16-inch laptop section; while the Granville Weekender, the largest of the three, features a generous 33-liters of space that can easilt fit a long weekend’s worth of stuff. All three bags features a built-in “Integrated Smart Holder”, allowing them to be attached to the handle of most cabin luggage.
