Best of the Best - Home

Lounging in a Maldivian resort, wine-tasting in Bordeaux, putting a sports car through its paces at Sonoma Raceway, curating the best watches from Geneva, perusing the top menswear accoutrements in Milan, testing cutting-edge yachts in Monaco. The life of a Robb Report editor may sound glamorous, but-actually, we can't argue there. Even so, separating the wheat from the chaff is no small task in the luxury realm, since even the chaff can be mighty impressive. In our 36th annual Best of the Best issue, we again offer our assessment of the past year's most exemplary products, places and experiences. And yes, edition number 37 is already underway.

CC-Tapis

Les Arcs Collection by Charlotte Perriand

Known for her modernist work and belief that better design can improve society, Charlotte Perriand, who died in 1999 at the age of 96, remains among the most celebrated names in the industry. One project, the design of Les Arcs ski resort in the French Alps, on which Perriand worked for more than 20 years, was meant to include a set of striped textile panels, but due to a tightened budget, they ultimately fell by the wayside. The drawings for these textiles stayed filed away at the Perriand archives in Paris for more than 50 years—until 2023, when CC-Tapis launched Les Arcs Collection, consisting of five hand-knotted rugs featuring the previously unseen colour studies by the French architect.

Frank Lloyd Wright by Steelcase

Racine Signature Desk

A partnership between two great names in American design, the Frank Lloyd Wright Racine Signature desk by Steelcase reimagines the 1939 piece conceived by Wright for the SC Johnson administration building in Racine, Wisconsin. Originally produced by Steelcase and part of a larger reintroduction in collaboration with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, the Racine Signature desk, with its multi-tiered surfaces and trifecta of drawers, remains as stylishly functional in the work-from-home era as it was in the age of manual typewriters.
