This Maximalist Furniture Collection Is Perfectly Minimalist

Henri Judin

Henry Judin set himself the ultimate challenge for this year’s Milan Furniture Fair with a collection that aims to combine the tenets of minimalism and maximalism to find balance in a chaotic world. The five-piece collection is further inspired by the city, pop art and neon color to create an assortment that stands out from the pack but could find a place in almost any home. While not available for purchase currently, we will be watching for more from this collection and Henry Judin.

These Colorful Watches Are Ready for Warm Weather

Nomos Glashütte

Nomos Glashütte has released a quartet of new Tetras that are picture perfect for dressing for the season. The four new watches share a 29.5mm square case (to give every outfit a little edge), an in-house hand-wound NOMOS Alpha caliber inside, and are functionally identical to the prior Tetra models. However, the colors are what make this release stand out, with pastel faces in salmon, cherry blossom, lavender and grey, plus bright yellow or turquoise second hands. Each of the four watches are executed tastefully and you can pick up your favorite now for $2,080, a reasonable price for what will certainly be your go to watch for the summer.

The Future of Furniture Is … Wearable?

Rick Owens

Rick Owen has taken inspiration from … inspiration, with a helmet that quite literally puts a lightbulb over your head. The Hedjet Helmets are made of fiberglass and aluminum with a fluorescent bulb at the crown and a shell that extends down the back and over the shoulders. Each domed helmet was proven wearable at Paris Fashion Week, but they are probably more functional as lamps with the helmet shell allowing the piece to stand freely. Rick Owens has long had an interest in industrial product design alongside fashion, so this evolution makes a lot of sense, even if you might turn some heads wearing the Hedjet.

60 Years of Lamborghini

Lamborghini

Marking six decades since the iconic brand’s inception in 1963, Lamborghini has released three special-edition Huracáns: the STO, the Technica and the EVO Spyder. Lamborghini lauds the Huracán vehicles as the “highest expression” of their power, with Italian craftsmanship, authentic design and state-of-the-art technology. The three new models more than live up to this standard. These vehicles are as much sculptures as they are functional autos, with flashy color direction and seamless profiles.

A Nike Shoe Worth Waiting For

Nike

The new Nike Motiva, available next month, is an everyday shoe for everything life throws at you. This sneaker stands out with an exaggerated rocker that claims to provide superior transition with each step, making the shoe functional for walking, running or jogging. Additional features include a “Comfortgroove” outsole for exceptional tread and durability, as well as a soft foam collar and inner sleeve to reduce friction and ease the transition into and out of the shoe.
