Hail, Caesarstone.

Every so often, you meet someone who seems to operate on a different plane, like 35-year-old designer Oki Sato. Sato says the sort of witty yet poignant aphorisms you could imagine coming from Andy Warhol. “At lunchtime, I go to the same restaurant. I have the same bowl of noodles,” says Sato, in Toronto for the Interior Design Show (IDS).

Automotive evolution.

As Germans say: anfangen ist leicht, beharren eine kunst. To begin is easy, but to persist is art. The latter is certainly true for Porsche, which is celebrating the 50th year of its iconic 911 sports car.

Artists in focus.

Among the bucolic fields of picturesque Greenwich, Connecticut, stands a 9,800-square-foot stone building that is home to the Brant Foundation Art Study Center. Belying its stately exterior, inside the walls, are exhibitions of some of the most compelling and provocative works of modern and contemporary art.

Commemorative collaborations.

What began 80 years ago as one product defined by a crocodile—the polo—has evolved into a lifestyle. In celebration of Lacoste’s milestone anniversary, the brand has teamed up with the nobility of French heritage maisons to produce Maisons Françaises, a collection of nine notable objets—all commemorating the crocodile.

Art in the sky.

First, they asked Los Angeles–based street artist Retna to hand-paint the tail of a Bombardier Global Express. Then, along with fine jeweller Fabergé, VistaJet commissioned Turner Prize–nominated artist Ian Davenport to design the tail of one of its new flagship planes: the Bombardier Global 6000.

Sun lit.

Whether you are travelling or staying home, at the beach or on a patio, the summer’s surplus sunlight makes it the best season to read more. Here are a few favourites that will make the extra hours of daylight fly by.

East meets West in Playa del Albir, Spain.

Just outside of Alicante, in eastern Spain, lies the Mediterranean seascape of Playa del Albir, an aquamarine bay cradled in a low mountain range. But look upward, and the epitome of health and relaxation awaits 350 metres above sea level within the white walls of SHA Wellness Clinic.

Pop bottles.

Perrier has added some pop to its fizz by partnering with the Andy Warhol Foundation to create a limited-edition series of Andy Warhol-inspired bottles, available this summer. While Warhol’s Coca-Cola motifs and Campbell’s Soup Cans have become icons of pop art, the artist also produced over 40 works featuring the Perrier bottle in 1983.

Raise a glass.

Winemaking legend Robert Mondavi would have celebrated his 100th birthday this year, and in his honour, a  number of events will take place in Napa Valley. The fêtes, complete with what Mondavi loved most (art, wine, and food), begin on June 18.
