Hem x Kusheda Mensah
The Swedish home furnishings company Hem collaborates with many different European designers, artists, and manufacturers to create its meticulously considered collections. The latest—the Palma Pouf—is from British-born Ghanaian designer Kusheda Mensah and features graphic mix-and-match seating that comes in three playful shapes and sizes to encourage social interaction. Offered in a variety of colours and fabrics, these fun and functional pieces are perfect for pulling up and perching, while adding a vibrant touch of whimsy to your home.
Dior x Lewis Hamilton
Seven-time Formula One racing champion and Dior ambassador Lewis Hamilton has collaborated with the French fashion house as a guest designer for a second capsule wardrobe. Blending formality and casual comfort, with items ranging from luxurious knits to practical sportswear such as the stylish B44 Blade sneaker, Hamilton channels afrofuturism to create a collection that is at once traditional and avant-garde.
Blancpain
A timepiece designed as a tool watch for serious divers is given a lifestyle makeover. Features of the new Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Tech diving watch include a case diameter of 45 millimetres, a helium escape valve, and a black dial that absorbs up to 97 per cent of light. For ease of operation with gloved hands, there is also a unidirectional ceramic bezel with 120 clicks, and the interchangeable rubber straps come in two lengths—for sizing with and without a wetsuit. For even more versatility, vivid white and bright orange strap options have been added to the traditional black.
