The Final Bentley Mulsanne

In a recent announcement Bentley has stated that they will be kissing goodbye to the Mulsanne and its legendary six and three quarter litre V8, the longest V8 ever in continuous production. Bentley’s farewell kiss you may ask? The Mulsanne 6.75 Edition by Mulliner, which will be limited to just thirty examples.

After 60 years in production the awe inspiring 6¾-litre engine will no longer grace the production lines at Crewe. Bentley’s 6.75 litre V8 debuted under the bonnet of the 1959 Bentley S2, and although that masterpiece has been tweaked here and there it largely remains almost identical to the original. In what appears to be an effort to lower emissions, Bentley will be replacing the Mulsanne with the Flying Spur and offer hybrid options for all models by 2023. As of yet the Bentayga is the only Bentley available with a hybrid power-train.

•

“The Mulsanne has played a pivotal role in maintaining Bentley’s position as global leader of the luxury limousine segment. The flagship of our model range, its longevity is a testament to our ongoing commitment to hand-building the finest motor cars in the world. The new Mulsanne 6.75 Edition is the culmination of that achievement. While production of the Mulsanne will end in Spring 2020, this decision has been taken at a time when we are experiencing significant customer demand across our other existing model lines. As such, we will be redeploying all of our manufacturing colleagues who currently work on the Mulsanne to other areas of the business,” stated Chris Craft, Member of the Board, Sales, Marketing and After-sales at Bentley Motors

The Final Edition will feature blacked out bright work in a gloss finish aside from the lights, which will maintain their chrome finish to highlight the customer’s choice of paint color. A tinted hood ornament, 21 inch rims, and Mulliner Serenity radiator grille and exhaust finishers complete the vehicle’s exterior key design elements. The intake manifold will be finished in black instead of typical silver and the engine number plate will be signed by Bentley’s Chairman and CEO, Adrian Hallmark rather than the craftsman that built the car’s engine.

• 

• 

• 

Based on the 530 bhp, 1100 Nm Mulsanne Speed the most driver focused Mulsanne ever created, the Final edition is sure to raise some eyebrows with its tasteful yet sporty design elements, which include the classic ‘organ stop’ ventilation pulls replaced by designs capped by miniature versions of the engine oil cap and a 6.75 Edition motif is stitched into the seats.

As far as interior customization goes, the Final edition will offer four single tone leather color choices: Imperial Blue, Beluga, Fireglow and Newmarket Tan. A stunning bespoke color split spreads a silver accent throughout the cabin. The silver spreads across the seat pipping and center console in leather as well as a silver-painted veneer with a unique metal commemorative plaque fitted to the front console.

The iconic Bentley Mulsanne originally hit the road in 1980 and truth be told we are incredibly disappointed to see this handmade masterpiece exit production.

Exhibition “ame nochi hana” at Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche in Paris: Wows in Spectacular Fashion

Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche continues over 160 years of engagement to the arts with the debut of its latest art instillation, the exhibition by designer Oki Sato’s nendo titled “ame nochi hana”, which translates from the artist’s native Japanese meaning rain flowers.

Aristide Boucicaut, who founded Le Bon Marché was well regarded for his love of the arts now continued by the department store’s owner LVMH. Over the past five years, Le Bon Marché has hosted five creative exhibitions by artists, such as Ai Weiwei, Chiharu Shiota, Leandro Erlich and Joana Vasconcelos. Artists are given carte blanche aside from the one request that the exhibition should sit well in the beginning of the year’s “White Sale” color pattern.

“I thought it was a wonderful story how people would buy white things for their everyday lives – sheets, towels, plates – in order to refresh their spirit, their feelings and their emotions at the start of the new year. That became the starting point for our project,” said Oki Sato, founder of the nendo Design Studio.

Oki Sato’s nendo studio employed a wide range of techniques to develop the “ame nochi hana” exhibition, including 3D Printing. Oki Sato’s minimal style and poetically stunning pieces allow for visitors to explore her instillation of miniature buildings, sculpture, and drawings with a mindset of bliss and complete imagination.

Available to view until February 16th of this year, “ame nochi hana” is laid out across two floors with a highlight being the glass roof above the exhibition. With a focus on water, nearly two dozen sculptures are present each in the shape of a water bottle and a rain shower that “morphs into raining daisies.”

Gianna Dispenza’s Double Like Tata Stimulates the Imagination

In Gianna Dispenza’s most recent solo exhibition, symbolism takes center stage. Her works delight the viewer’s subconscious with manifestations of abstract portraits, hovering still lifes, and scenes of nature all delivered on the most obscure of canvases. From public transport tickets to newspapers and wrappers, recycled pieces of the artist’s life proudly takes a spotlight in the exhibition which just concluded on January 18th. The show that took place at Galleria Ramo in Como, Italy was an intimate yet spectacular affair in every which way.

One of the most fascinating pieces in the show is a small work placed just above the floor in an abstract corner, the work’s content you may ask? A 29 × 21.5 cm painting on paper, with the canvas appearing to be a page of a book at first glance that depicts a vividly red hot dog encased by a bun far too small for the sausage. Yet it is the words of German Sociologist Thomas Lemke and his colleagues that cover the painting.

• 

• 

• 

“I work through a lot of repetition. So even though the formal qualities change, I’ve actually been painting through the same ideas since about 2013. It’s the point where complementary ideas meet, and bleed into each other. I think, for instance, you could look at some of my paintings and question whether the figures were intimate or violent; sharing a meal or eating alone; sleeping or failing to sleep, and so on. For whatever reason these daily habits keep re-emerging in my work. And while as headers they might seem mundane, they are things we all live through. I’m pairing out the situations as opposites, but as I work through them, I find that they are positioned across a continuum for me, and are vastly complex, overlapping, and fragile even,” says Gianna Dispenza

• 

• 

Flowers are another theme that is prominent in this body of Dispenza’s work, although many creations in the exhibit featured orchids the piece de la resistance is a work titled “Double Like Tata but Mama Doesn’t Have Them.” Even though flowers and orchids in particular are often characterized as rather feminine, Dispenza digs deep into the meaning behind the word. In fact, orchid is derived from órkhis the ancient Greek word for testicle. With this in mind we find that “Double Like Tata but Mama Doesn’t Have Them” represents a dual masculine and feminine energy demonstrated through deep meaningful figuration.

Rock House Resort in the Turks and Caicos

Rock House, a Resort and Residential development project which is being assembled on over a dozen acres on the north coast of the Providenciales in the Turks & Caicos, is a perfect blend of sustainability and natural beauty. With six hundred feet of ocean frontage and elevations of nearly 100 feet, Rock House pays no comprise to employ sustainable construction techniques combined with cutting edge scenery.

Grace Bay Resorts and Coast Architects are working together with local botanist Nature’s Vision to assemble a landscape that consists of entirely local species of plants. While residence interiors will benefit from the design expertise of Shawn Henderson and local Coast Architects.

The native species that will be incorporated in the resort’s design will include rare genus of plants, such as the slow-growing Joewood trees which can live for hundreds of years. As construction is currently still ongoing at the resort, the gardening team is storing plants in a nursery on property. Other notable sustainable resort features include site excavated limestone, which will be incorporated throughout the property and lend towards a reduced environmental impact.

Surgeon General Warning: Cigar Smoking Can Cause Cancers of the Mouth And Throat, Even If You Do Not Inhale.

Summit: A Luxurious Oasis Located in Manhattan’s Otherwise Bustling Midtown East Neighborhood

Located in Manhattan’s Midtown East neighborhood, the luxury apartment building, Summit, feels like an oasis inside of the busy city with its homey yet chic living spaces and striking views of the New York City skyline.

Entering the luxury space, residents are first greeted by the three-stories-tall lobby, which is surrounded by floor to ceiling windows. During the day, the natural sunlight highlights its open layout, decorated by a custom chandelier and simple waterfall fixture.

Once through the elevator and into the residential spaces themselves, each unit is characterized by crisp white walls, hard wood floors, and a spacious kitchen that is both modern and elegant with garage door style cabinets, Quartz counter-tops, and Bosch appliances.

• 

• 

In addition to a cozy interior space many apartments have private terraces, giving residents access to incredible views of the East River and the Chrysler Building’s iconic art-deco spire, depending on what side of the building the unit is located. But, even those without private terrace access aren’t excluded from admiring the city’s incredible views as well, considering that each room is also accompanied by floor to ceiling windows.  

Parsed out amongst the three different floors, Summit’s amenity spaces include its Sky Lounge, Club Level, and Arena, each offering unique opportunities to residents.

Situated on the 42^nd floor, the Sky Lounge is the perfect place to host lavish dinner parties amongst friends, considering its private dining space, bar, terrace and grill, and marble fireplace. The Club Level, a more kid friendly and casual space, is home to the main lounge, theater room, gaming area, and conference rooms.

Although all impressive in their own right, what is perhaps the building’s most eye-catching space is the Arena. In what is practically an Equinox, but in your abode, Summit’s home gym provides its residents access to a full basketball court, a squash court, a spin and yoga studio, an indoor lap pool, and a spa and sauna space.

• 

• 

Located at 222 E 44^th Street, Summit opened for leasing earlier this year in January and is home to 429 apartments, ranging from studio spaces to three bedroom, two and a half bathroom residences.

Monthly rent of the available units ranges between a 14^th floor studio priced at $4,200 per month and a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom residence priced at $35,000 per month and located on the 42^nd floor. Other available units include a one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit for $6,280 per month, a two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit for $7,900, and a one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit with terrace access priced at $11,075 per month, according to their website.

“Summit can truly accommodate everyone,” says Matthew Villetto, Executive Vice President at Douglas Elliman Development Marketing. “With these amenities and unique apartment layouts, we’re able to cast a wide net to appeal to a large, diverse audience, providing them with an unmatched luxury lifestyle – one that is hard to come by in Midtown NYC, especially in a rental building.”

Frank Gehry and Peter Marino’s Louis Vuitton Maison in Seoul, South Korea is a masterpiece of modern architecture

A modern masterpiece designed through a collaboration between Peter Marino and Frank Gehry for Louis Vuitton has now opened in Seoul, South Korea. The new boutique located in the Gangnam district and situated on Cheongdam-dong avenue opened its doors on October 30th.

The result of Frank Gehry and Peter Marino’s collaboration is a unique structure that pays respect to Korean architectural heritage while sharing elements with Louis Vuitton’s Paris flagship boutique. Although Peter Marino is no stranger to South Korean projects, having designed Chanel’s Seoul boutique, Louis Vuitton Seoul is Frank Gehry’s first project in the East Asian country.

The five level curved glass structure which appears weightless, plays on Gehry’s poetic charm, and is meant to demonstrate the strong relationship Louis Vuitton has with the Korean market. Frank Gehry was very inspired by traditional Korean architecture such as the Hwaseong Fortress and cultural elements like the traditional Dongnae Hakchum crane, a dance meant to demonstrate elegance and nobility.

“What struck me when I first visited Seoul nearly 25 years ago, was the relationship between the architecture and the natural landscape. I still remember clearly the powerful impressions I had stepping up from the garden of Jongmyo Shrine,” Frank Gehry said, adding “I am delighted to have designed Louis Vuitton Maison Seoul, reflecting the traditional values of the Korean culture.”

Peter Marino’s interior layout offers customers the ability to view different Louis Vuitton collections in a stand alone like experience. Massive interior volume allowed for imaginative contrasting spaces with a particular highlight being the boutique’s twelve meter high foyer with multiple lounges.

A glass enclosed entryway located on the structure’s main floor leads to a space devoted entirely to women’s collections, offering ready-to-wear, leather goods, accessories and fragrances. Whereas, the men’s area is located in a bright and light space on the lower level. Here men can browse Louis Vuitton’s selection of ready-to-wear, leather goods, shoes and travel items.

The upper floors of the boutique are exclusively reserved for more intimate experiences, including exclusive appointments, events, and dinners in private salons and elegant terraces.

Louis Vuitton Maison Seoul is a masterpiece designed by some of today’s greatest architects, that have created a perfect blend of West meets East.
