Via Uncrate … Okay, so you might be thinking that beer and caramel go together about as well as beer and ice cream — PBR float, anyone? — but these Beer & Pretzel Caramels ($12/dozen) are a happy exception. Made by Liddabit Sweets in Brooklyn, these tiny treats are made by reducing and mixing Brooklyn Brewery’s Brown Ale and East India Pale Ale into caramel, accompanied by chunks of salty Martin’s pretzels for added crunch and texture.

Baron George Hoyningen-Huene (1900 – 1968) was a seminal fashion photographer of the 1920s and 1930s. He was born in Russia to Baltic German and American parents and spent his working life in France, England and the United States
“The Devon&Devon brand name was born from an idea to re-create the bathroom as inspired by the characteristics and atmosphere from the Victorian era to the first half of the 1900s. A bathroom decorated with ‘historical pieces’ that have become present day due to the particular attention to the modern day requirements of comfort and practicality.” Devon & Devon brings an attraction and appreciation to the past, inspired by refined european traditions, to modern-day bathroom design.

Italian company Lucente has taken the tradition of mouth-blown Murano glass, and translated it into some really cool glass lamps for modern homes. The new Noa series is a collection of glowing glass globes which releases homogeneous light through its glossy white, orange and apple green diffusers, finished with a white interior and framed in matte white metal. These cool lamps come in tabletop, ceiling-mounted and wall-mounted designs (22/36/44cm diameter by 14/26.5/31cm), pendant lamps (36/44 cm diameter by 139/144cm) and floor lamps (36/44cm diameter by 250/300cm). Mix and match the variety of sizes and colors, or complement your contemporary decor with a uniform style for a modern, minimalist look. For the eco-conscious decorator, these glass lamps use energy-saving light bulbs.

Nothing compares to the moment when, after arriving in a foreign city, the hotel room’s drapes are drawn back to reveal the world outside – a world that, neatly if barely contained by the window’s geometry, seems to belong to you alone. Condé Nast Traveler’s “Room with a View” column, featuring frame-worthy vistas from all over the world, has been whetting the appetites of armchair tourists for 20 years. This compendium gathers the most breathtaking sights of all time, from Balinese beaches to Asia’s bustling metropolises to African savannahs teeming with wildlife rather than nightlife.Take, for instance, the bathtub vista from the Royal Park’s Urban Spa room in the 971 foot-high Yokohama Landmark Tower, or Room 609 at Badrutt’s Palace Hotel, the perfect box seat for the Cartier Polo World Cup on Snow, played on the frozen Lake of St. Moritz below.

“William F. Cody, FAIA, was born in 1916 in Dayton, Ohio. Educated at USC where he worked for architect Cliff May. Moved to Palm Springs and built his first project: the Del Marcos Hotel in 1947. Converted the Thunderbird Dude Ranch to the Thunderbird Country Club, which led to his later designs of the Tamarisk and the Eldorado Country Clubs. One of the designers of the Spa Hotel and a wide variety of commercial and residential projects in Palm Springs, Phoenix, San Diego, Palo Alto, and Havana. Designed the Palm Springs Library Center and St. Theresa Catholic Church prior to suffering a stroke that ended his architectural career.”
Via Bike EFIX … Oklahoma-based Ridley is best known for its automatic cruisers, but its new range of ‘vintage motorcycles‘ is much more interesting. There are five styling options and a pair of two-stroke (49 or 70cc) engines to choose from, giving a top speed of up to 33mph. They might not be road rockets, but these $2,000 motorized bicycles are a stylish alternative to small-capacity Vespas for urban cruising.

Formerly known as Neighbourhood, a club that had a streetwise swagger and was more likely to play DnB than have people head-to-toe in D&G, supperclub has transformed the box-shaped space into an impossibly bright white room that is the absolute design antithesis of Gothic. It is an environment so bright, in fact, they should offer sun glasses on the way in for those not used to clubs with nuclear-strength wattage. Once your eyes have adjusted, you may be taken with the overriding feeling that this would be a perfect set for a walk off a la Derek, Blue Steel, Zoolander.

(Spiegel Verlagshaus Office, Hamburg, D 1969)
The furnishing of the Spiegel Publishing house buildings in Hamburg count among the most outstanding examples of Panton’s interior designs and are some of the few that still exist, at least in part. For the famous news magazine which moved into the modernized premises in 1969 in Hamburg’s Ost-West Street, Panton designed the entrance area with courtyard and lobby, the canteen and the bar areas, the swimming pool for the employees in the basement of the building, the rooms for the editorial conferences and the lounges, as well as the colour schemes for the hallways of the administration or editorial highrise buildings. Here again the colour schemes became a major design element, providing Panton’s typical fusion of room design. All designs were his own – lamps, textiles and wall claddings, only the furniture had to be ordered from Knoll International according to his contracts. The specially designed mirror lighting used on walls and ceilings was of major importance. While the swimming pool area was destroyed soon afterwards by a fire and the entry and lobby saw major redesign in the 90s, the canteen has so far remained in the original version and today represents a unique and valuable historic document.
