Hennessy Hammock Tent by Ami Kealoha
For serious backpackers or serious loungers, Hennessy Hammock Tents are a well-designed hammock-tent hybrid, providing shade and shelter in a wide range of terrains—from the Amazon to your backyard. Asymmetrical engineering makes for maximum comfort by positioning the body along a diagonal axis. Bug-, wind-, and waterproof, Hennessys also feature an automatic snap closure, the "Perfect Set" curve that keeps backs straight and level, and an anti-tipping design. Available in a variety of sizes and weights from Hennessy or REI.

Hotel Chic and Basic Born, Barcelona
For a holiday spent taking in Barcelona's seamless blend of old and new architecture, food and sounds, the sublime Chic and Basic Hotel couldn't be more well-suited. Located in the trendy Born area, it's an ideal jumping-off spot for wandering the many narrow, meandering streets of the city's neighboring areas. But it's the hotel itself that symbolizes so much of what we consider Barcelona...

Airstream x MINI Cooper S Clubman x Republic of Fritz Hansen
For someone like myself who grew up traveling in converted buses, this new Republic of Fritz Hansen-designed Airstream and coordinating modified MINI Cooper S Clubman doesn't look exactly practical, but it does look dreamy. At 6.8 meters long (about 22 feet), the Airstream trailer makes for a relatively compact way to make a road-trip luxurious—for fans of both sea and sun. Incorporating neoprene, acid...

Pixel Hotel
by Kelsey KeithPlaying on the idea of pixelation, the rooms and suites of the new Pixel Hotel in Linz, Austria, are scattered across the metropolitan area, blurring the definition of the classic hotel. Young and promising local architects were given a brief to convert various spaces—a garage, a workshop, and even a ship—into six hotel rooms. The results range from an architecturally-fitted interior connected to...

Geo Birdhouse by Kelly Lamb
by Laura Neilson The birdhouse, most often found outside country cabins and other rurally-situated homes, just got updated for the city. L.A.-based designer Kelly Lamb's new geo birdhouse is a sleek new abode for any urban wren, finch or warbler. Developed throughout the mid-1900s, geodesic domes are most commonly associated with the architect R. Buckminster Fuller, who hoped to popularize them enough to offer a...
