The Globe-Trotter Conran Case by Ami Kealoha

Globe-Trotter, the "modern classic" luggage brand, teamed up with the Conran Shop to create The Conran Case, a special edition that will be available starting this month exclusively at Conran shops in New York, London, Paris and Tokyo. Made from the same patented, lightweight Vulcan Fibre used in all of Globe-Trotter's suitcases since they invented it in 1850, the material is meant to look better with age, a common-sense design concept that's widely ignored when it comes to luggage these days. The cream-colored Conran version features black leather straps, brass hardware and a sharp, "very now" Prussian blue interior.

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...
Prague's Hotel Josef
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...
