When you see the words “globetrotting explorers” now, you probably think of rich people hopping on and off airplanes and moving from one luxurious hotel to another. But back in the 19th century, Louis Vuitton thought of a portable bed that still had some creature comforts for frequent travelers and even military officers that were always on the go. Thus the iconic Malle Lit or Bed Trunk was born. Now it has been updated with a modern touch by two of LV’s artistic directors.
Designers: Nicolas Ghesquière and Pharrell Williams
A few months ago, the Bed Trunk was re-introduced to a new generation of Louis Vuitton fans and was meant to be a supplementary bed or a daybed in the living room. Even though the use of it may have evolved already, the updated version still retains some aspects of this traveling trunk, like the foldable aluminum and beech wood structure as well as the internal mattress and mattress cover elements. Aesthetically though, and maybe purpose-wise, it has been elevated so to speak to more contemporary standards. And of course, expect the price tag to be astronomical.
Nicolas Ghesquière, the women’s creative director, has a more futuristic take on the iconic bed, adding engrave metal plates, modernized corner pieces, and an outer shell that is inspired by the 2023 Cruise collection. But inside the trunk, you get a floral-patterned mattress which is actually a version of a jacket from the 2018 Spring/Summer collection.
Renowned musician Pharrel Williams, who is also the Men’s Creative Director for LV, was inspired by the classic Bed Trunk designs, putting distressed striped paterns on the outside and red and white stripes on the inside. He has his LV Lovers brand embroidered on the jacquard mattress and pillow and put on blond wood elements and black aluminum hardware to show ooff the contrast.

We put a lot of things on top of our desks, dining tables, and shelves, whether for functionality or decoration. Over time, we get so used to their presence that they become almost invisible, at least until something changes that shocks us awake to reality. Being mindful of the things around us isn’t so bad a thing, especially when it causes you to stop and think, even for a brief moment. Things that give us pause don’t have to be outlandish, loud, or unsettling. They just have to be unusual enough for our minds to be puzzled and stomped. This tabletop collection does that effectively not with sophisticated mechanisms or intricate designs but my simple shapes and materials create an illusion of something that isn’t what it seems at first glance.
Designer: Bo Zhang
Optical illusions work by making our eyes and our brains disagree with each other. Something that isn’t logical but clearly looks that way could send our heads in a loop. Most of these illusions use diagrams and illustrations on flat paper, but there are times when they can also be made with solid, three-dimensional objects. You just need some creative thinking and a devious use of forms, colors, and mirrors.
The Zig/Zag collection is a pair of table accessories, namely a vase and a tray, that sport the eponymous shape. That alone is enough to call attention to them because of their uncommon design, but that novelty doesn’t last really long. A properly placed mirror on the edge of these objects, however, reveals a whole new dimension you might have not seen before, almost literally. The wave that you see reflected on those discs doesn’t seem to be the same one standing before you, definitely not the same color, at least.
Imagine seeing a reflection that is the same yet slightly different. The shape of the vase or tray is exactly the same, and so are the objects that they hold. Everything’s mirrored perfectly as you would expect, except for the color of the tray. Orange is yellow, black is hot pink, and green is pale peach. It’s almost as if you’re peering into an alternate reality instead of looking at a mirror, but in truth, the design is just messing with your head. The secret is actually simple: The “zig” side in front is painted with a different color from the “zag” behind it. Unless you’re looking at the objects from a specific angle, you wouldn’t even know that they have two different colors. Only that mirror reveals this duality in a way that seems mysterious and magical.
Mirrors are often seen as functional objects, but the Zig/Zag tabletop collection design transforms it into an art object. The vase and the tray don’t lose nor gain any functionality, but they do gain new value as aesthetic pieces that straddle the line between form and function. It’s a simple gimmick that urges you to take another look, perhaps to solve the mystery that you never knew existed. It makes your mind zig-zag between reality and fantasy, making you pause and simply enjoy the moment of being there.

The team behind the upcoming Minecraft movie shared a new clip during Minecraft Live that expands on the brief crafting moment we saw in the polarizing first teaser. The scene comes in the middle of a discussion between Mojang creative director Torfi Frans Olafsson and A Minecraft Movie director Jared Hess, at 4:51. The segment also gives us our first look at the movie’s interpretation of a Minecraft bee, which I’m not quite sure how to feel about yet. That you can find toward the end of the video.
A Minecraft Movie is slated for release in April 2025 and stars Jack Black as Steve, alongside Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers and Sebastian Eugene Hansen. Plans for it were first announced a decade ago, and potential release dates were set and scrapped on multiple occasions in the time since. At long last, it’s actually now happening — for better or worse.

What kind of person buys a replica of a high-end and very expensive luxury car that they won’t be able to drive on public roads anyway? Apparently, there is a market out there for this kind of luxurious purchases for what we assume are already super rich fanboys of the Bugatti brand. Even before price and availability details are released, it’s most likely to be sold out already.
Designer: Bugatti
The Bugatti Baby II Tourbillon Edition is a limited-edition miniature version of the brand’s latest Tourbillon hypercar. For those not familiar with the Baby editions, they would probably assume it’s a miniature version for kids or a toy version that collectors can put on their shelves. But while it’s a miniature version, it’s not exactly that as a fully grown person can drive this, just not on public roads.
The latest Baby edition is a 75% scale all-electric vehicle and mirrors the aesthetic of the latest V16 hybrid sports car. It has the signature Aerolithe colorway and C-line curve of a Bugatti with the Light Aerolithe leather inside and with Nocturne Black Rims and Gunmetal Grey Carbon accents. Instead of the traditional fuel gauge, you have a battery gauge since this is of course an electric car.
The car is crafted by Hedley Studios and the original Baby editions were inspired by the legendary Bugatti Type 35. It takes 200 hours to assemble one as it is made up of hand-beaten aluminum body panels so there is usually only around 500 cars produced. No details yet for its release but you can be assured that it will sell out, no matter what the price tag is.

Apple tried at the last second to get out of producing a trove of documents by Monday as it was ordered to in its ongoing dispute with Epic, and Magistrate Judge Thomas Hixson is not having it. In early August, the company was given a deadline of September 30 to produce documents relating to the changes it made to its App Store rules this year, which was its attempt to satisfy an injunction. Apple initially told the court that the task would entail reviewing roughly 650,000 documents — but in a status report on Thursday, it said the number had ballooned to over 1.3 million, and asked for a two-week extension. Hixson denied the request on Friday in a strongly worded order spotted by The Verge, and called out Apple’s move as “bad behavior.”
Apple and Epic have been submitting joint status reports to the court every two weeks, and the issue of Apple’s documents exceeding its earlier estimate never previously came up, the judge noted. “This information would have been apparent to Apple weeks ago,” Hixson said in the order. “It is simply not believable that Apple learned of this information only in the two weeks following the last status report.” The judge said the request raises other concerns, calling into question the quality of Apple’s reports and its intentions around complying in a timely manner. Apple has “nearly infinite resources” that it could have tapped to get the task done in the allotted time, according to Hixson.
“This is a classic moral hazard,” Hixson said in the order, “and the way Apple announced out of the blue four days before the substantial completion deadline that it would not make that deadline because of a document count that it had surely been aware of for weeks hardly creates the impression that Apple is behaving responsibly.”
