A new icon of Italian performance has entered the scene 🏎️

Maserati's latest creation, the MCPURA, made its debut in Italy, capturing the attention of the automotive world. It's available in two striking versions - the fixed-roof coupé and the open-top Cielo, both having a one-of-a-kind finish. Ai Acqua Rainbow's azure colour shifts in the sunlight, revealing a rainbow effect across the car’s sculpted curves. The coupé received the matte version of the finish for a sleek, technical look, while the Cielo’s glossy finish enhances its dynamic lines all the time under the lights.

Beneath the surface, the MCPURA got a carbon fibre monocoque that provides exceptional rigidity and keeps the car’s weight under 1,500 kg. The Butterfly doors add a dramatic touch, opening upwards for easy access and an unforgettable entrance. At the heart of the MCPURA lies the 630-hp Nettuno V6 engine, delivering outstanding performance. Every element of the MCPURA, from the design to the final touches, is crafted with precision, and thanks to Maserati’s Fuoriserie program, customers can personalise every detail, making each MCPURA truly one of a kind.

Škoda explores new ways to revolutionise the world. This year, Škoda presented a motorcycle, inspired by one of the brand’s earliest models: the Slavia B from 1899. The front and back sections of the bike are divided by a strong vertical line that looks like a reference to the contrast between past and future. The headlight design, sharp edges, and overall composition align with Modern Solid design principles, prioritising simple, geometric forms and visual clarity.

New spaces with timeless designs that honour Le Méridien Ra’s heritage 🏨

Set along Spain’s beautiful Costa Daurada, Le Méridien Ra Beach Hotel & Spa continues its transformation from a historic sanatorium into a stunning place to stay. First converted into a five-star hotel in 2003, it recently got an extension with two striking spaces designed by London-based Transit Studio.

The newly revealed Bar Tempus and La Terrassa del Mar restaurant pay tribute to the building’s heritage and coastal setting, while enhancing the guest experience with every detail. Bar Tempus reflects the journey from earth to sea with warm-toned terrazzo, natural plaster, and vineyard-inspired textiles. La Terrassa del Mar draws the landscape indoors with terracotta arches, sea-green terrazzo, and an azure-tiled ceiling. A glass-enclosed wine room is placed at its heart, inviting guests to explore the wine collection.

This might be the most iconic clinic you have seen 🔥

POUT X Clinic is boldly redefining what “getting work done” looks like, and it’s anything but ordinary. Designed by Studio Author, this vibrant space blends clinical accuracy with bold style. Lipstick red, vibrant pink, surgical-grade stainless steel, and immersive neon lighting work together to create a futuristic aesthetic that challenges expectations with the brand's statement at the heart - “maintained, not changed.”

Every detail of POUT X is intentional - from the nineteen-foot-long stainless-steel welcome desk to the two open treatment pods, the space breaks free from the stigma around aesthetic treatments by fostering transparency, openness, and personality. Each treatment pod is fully equipped with sleek nurse stations, dramatic circular mirrors, and surgical lighting, while the glowing vertical tube lights and mirrors play with perception and scale.

The Tang Hulu Floor Lamp by Matrix Design brings a sweet nostalgia into the heart of the home. Inspired by the beloved Chinese street snack of candied hawthorn skewers, this lamp turned a joyful childhood memory into a playful, sculptural lighting object. Designed by Msol Studio, this flexible, interactive experience can adapt to any lifestyle.

Every creamy white glass bulb is detachable, allowing people to customise the look and feel based on the moment - whether it’s a single soft light to read a book or a full glow when friends come over. A sleek metal structure echoes the iconic skewer, while the triangular base offers visual balance and minimal floor footprint.

The new BHS South America HQ has everything for comfortable work, including a cherry tree 🍒

The new BHS South America headquarters in Curitiba is a great example of how architecture, sustainability, and technology can coexist in harmony. Designed by Caroline Andrusko Arquitetos, and what once felt rigid and disconnected now flows with organic forms, natural materials, and smart design solutions that reflect the company’s modern identity.

A key highlight is the new flowing walkway - an architectural feature that not only connects spaces but also creates a sensory experience with its soft curves and integration into the landscape. Circular metal brise-soleils, planters, Arkowall façades, and a flashy central opening with a cherry tree made structure and nature speak the same design language. Inside, a mix of transparent partitions, elegant finishes, and layered textures supports comfort, privacy, and productivity, while allowing light and openness. From the executive offices and social lounges to quiet workstations and vibrant green courtyards, the building is a real expression of sustainable corporate design.

Not your average playground. This one is full of boulders, caves, and the latest innovations 🛝

In Ji’nan’s Yunwan Garden, a new community space is transforming our world. With 13,000m² of landscape, Boulder Park blends ancient-looking stones with futuristic design, where people of all ages can play, explore, and connect with nature. At the heart of it is a massive cave space built with 3D concrete-printing technology that has steps, handrails, slides, and places to sit.

Boulder Park has various sections, such as the All-Age Boulder Playground, Water Garden, Forest Garden, Stone Garden, and Flower Garden, and each of them offers unique experiences. Children can climb boulders, explore printed caves, swing, slide, or test their strength on climbing ropes.
