Wishlist: What we want this week
From wireless speakers to wine racks, this is what we want this week...
Bang & Olufsen has just designed the ultimate portable speaker – just in time for the barbecue, festival and party season. Weighing only 275 grams, the P2 is perfect to pack up and take anywhere, but despite its compact design it also packs some serious bass, due to its anodised aluminium cone structure. Other features include a ten-hour battery life and a splash-resistant finish that’ll keep it safe from the perils of the wet British weather.
Jet-setting soon? Acqua di Parma has the thing for you. Its latest release, La Collezione, is a travel set that includes a trio of the brand’s best-selling Blu Meditarraneo fragrances (Bergamotto di Calabria, Arancia di Capri and Fico di Amalfi), all of which come in three 30ml bottles that will slip seamlessly into your wash bag. Fresh, sweet and citrusy, these will be your summer grooming essentials for years to come.
Known for his use of fluid lines, designer Steve Cozzolino has just crafted this curved beauty for homeware brand Nambé. Sleek and minimalistic with the capacity to hold four wine bottles, this is a kitchen must-have.
To celebrate the 55th anniversary of the launch of its Autavia chronograph, TAG Heuer has re-issued its popular “Rindt” model. The latest iteration is slightly larger than its forebears at 42mm, is water-resistant to 100 metres, and comes with either a distressed leather strap, or a Sixties-inspired “beads of rice” bracelet. Good to go for another 55 years? We think so.
Bacalta, the newest addition to Glenmorangie’s Private Edition range, may well be our new go-to spirit. ‘Extra matured’ in sun-baked casks that have been filled with Malmsey (a Madeira wine), this is a rich and fruity tipple that contains notes of apricot and honeycomb. To enjoy fully make sure to pair it with light game meats or fruit-filled dishes.
This gargantuan vessel boasts a helipad, a gym, a Balinese spa with sauna, a cinema and entertainment system, a swimming pool, and even a submarine on request. And with accommodation for up to 26 people, you won’t have to go through the ordeal of enjoying these amenities alone. Lucky you.
After cryptic posters appeared around the world and the band revealed a short teaser video, Radiohead have finally announced that they will be re-issuing their trailblazing album OK Computer in two month’s time. Included in the box set will be the original 12-track album which has been remastered from the original analog tapes, three unreleased tracks, eight B-sides, a hardback containing more than 30 artworks, a notebook of Thom Yorke’s scrawled notes of the time, and a cassette mixtape compiled by the band. July can’t come soon enough.
