Wishlist: What we want this week

From record players to running shoes, what's caught our eye this week?

This extra deep Goring suitcase is hand crafted from Ivory vulcanised fibreboard, with the Goring Hotel brand colours of Burgundy and Navy being used for the leather trim. Inside, each case is hand lined with a rich damask silk, a perfect miniature of the silk wall covering used in the Drawing Room of The Royal Suite at The Goring. The height of luxury luggage.

Available in grey, blue or white, these innovative shoes are soft, lightweight, breathable, and – most importantly – natural. The pioneering merino-blend fabric conforms to your foot like no other shoe, so there’s never any rubbing or pinching. In fact, Allbirds guarantee “just cruising, schmoozing, and never-removing, for wherever you go.”

Marketed as a ‘living canvas’, the BeoVision 14 is a 4K Ultra HD LED TV featuring a world of connectivity options, integrated access to all your exciting apps and boasting a bigger and more immersive sound – hidden behind an oak grille – than most standalone speaker systems. Sign us up.

Born of Caterham’s inescapable urge to continually develop the Seven, the 310 produces an extra 20bhp than its predecessors – thanks to an upgraded 1.6-litre Ford Sigma engine. You get a 5-speed gearbox, aluminium painted body and 14″ alloy wheels for your money – and a whole lot of fun.

This stemless red wine glass from the Swirl glass series is Riedel’s attempt at reinventing the wheel – and they’ve come pretty close. A modern, crystal design means each sip is cooler than the last, and the gentle rim is so fine you’d be forgiven for thinking there was no glass there at all.

Designer Hans Wegner’s reinterpretation of an 18th Century wing chair is now respected as a modern-day classic. Traditional construction techniques are employed to ensure superlative comfort and build quality and, with the exception of the seat cushion, no foam is used in the upholstery; the back and armrests are stuffed with cotton, palm and flax fibre and horse hair.

Montblanc annually celebrates great icons of literary history, and this year William Shakespeare steps ‘unto the breach’. The black and white design takes its inspiration from the flags that flew above The Globe depending on the genre of the play (white for comedy, black for tragedy), and the issue number engraved on the cap is further proof of uniqueness – only 8,700 will be made.

The design of the Evo 43 is sleek and minimalist with cleats, anchor and fenderhooks which fold away in the deck to leave the lines completely clean. However, at the touch of a button, the beach area can be completely transformed. “XTensions” slide out and, in less than thirty seconds, you’ve got a 25 square metre terrace that can be used as a lounge, sitting room, sun deck with built-in deck chairs, or diving platformAnd, what’s more, you can control all of that via your iPhone.

The ‘Floating Record’ uses a robust cueing mechanism that effortlessly and safely cues your records. Containing two Tymphany 2″ neodymium speakers driven by a 15w per channel digital amplifier, Gramovox’s latest innovation is a self-contained convenience – and turns listening to your music into a visual treat.

The stunning, hand-crafted aluminium fuel tank, welded from five sections, forms the visual centrepiece of Brough’s reimagined Superior. The 997cc water-cooled V-twin is Brough’s own, and the original-style dials have been pepped up with backlighting and the inclusion of an LCD screen. A classic for the modern times.
