Blinged-Out Bicycle

J.LAVERACK

ASTON MARTIN .1R

Billed as the most bespoke bike ever produced, the .1R is a beautiful marriage of Aston Martin's engineering power and the cycling finesse of British titanium bike specialist J.Laverack. The frameset takes 515 hours of CNC machining to create and has been designed to have no visible bolts, screws, or attachments. It combines titanium lugs with carbon-fiber tubes, so every stem has been 3D-printed to the rider's exact measurements. It also boasts the world's first integrated brake calipers. Any exposed carbon fiber uses the same herringbone pattern as on the Aston Martin Valkyrie-or you can tell the configurator to dunk the whole thing in glossy Magneto Bronze paint, as in this example.

The Club Classic MODEL B3 ARMCHAIR

Marcel Breuer's 1925 design officially the Model B3 but dubbed the "Wassily" after Bauhaus painter Wassily Kandinsky admired the design and Breuer made one for his studio-was inspired by the humble bicycle frame. Made from curved steel tubes and textile or leather slings, it remains an icon of modernism.
