Timely and clever, Brooklyn design firm Pkoh NYC's new silicone travel bottle solves the problem of containers that are tough to use and leak-prone, while keeping the design to a size that meets the new security regulations for carry-on liquids. Made from pliable translucent silicone, the bulb shape is easy to squeeze and seals securely with an O-ring. A wide mouth makes for easy cleaning and filling of the two-ounce bottle and the inverted design takes advantage of gravity, eliminating struggles to dispense product. One standout among the many details proving designer Paul Koh has keen sense of functional design is the rotating indicator ring that elegantly labels the bottles. Pick up a two-pack that includes one blue and one clear bottle (both are transluscent) for $20 from Pkoh NYC.

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.

Sprecher sharpens, hones and polishes the blades to look good as new no matter the brand, age or shape.

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...
The only thing better than a laid-back stroll around Prague during the winter holidays is to be able to come back to the Hotel Josef. Set on an ancient street a short walk from the Old Town Square and on the edge of the old Jewish Quarter, it's an ideal location for exploring the city—if not for the famous statue of Kafka riding the...
by Juliet Kinsman Cobbled and colonial but also contemporary and quirky, I recently had the chance to stay at the brand-new Douro Valley hotel, Quinta da Romaneira. From one look at the interior design it's clear that super-picky attention to detail is paramount. Thierry Teyssier, the creator of Quinta dos Sonhos (Romaneira's Portuguese name) considered every color, visualized every view, procured the highest spec...
