The Type Sigma hides every seam, every panel gap, every hint of how it might actually be built. The body looks like a single piece of fabric pulled taut over a frame, finished in matte gray that emphasizes form over finish.
In 2025, MAN Truck & Bus Italia recorded a turnover of €617 million, representing an 11 per cent increase compared to the previous year and marking the third consecutive annual record.
The project examines the integration of digital fabrication processes into reinforced concrete construction, highlighting that while materials such as steel and timber have undergone significant transformation through digital production methods, reinforced concrete has largely retained conventional casting techniques. The proposal aims to address this condition by incorporating digitally fabricated components into the construction system.
Benedetta, as in the best stories of craftsmanship and innovation, leaves her garage. The domestic space, which sheltered and inspired her for years, is no longer enough. Demand is growing. Ideas are multiplying, and with them, collaborators.
We look at the 2030 target as a floor of our ambitions, always acting in the long-term interest of our brand, safeguarding exclusivity above all. That is not how automakers talk. That is how luxury houses talk.
For many of these sophomore efforts, however, the results felt tentative or overworked, with critics questioning direction and coherence. Bottega Veneta was the clear exception. Louise Trotter's collection stood out for its chic restraint and disciplined focus-understated rather than attention-seeking-grounding itself in craft, proportion, and material integrity instead of spectacle.
Recently, Beretta had a makeover; both the interior and its menu got spiffed up, and the changes are notable. From dark wood and leather to bright gold tones with cherry accents, huge, abstract murals, mod red wire-framed lamps, Beretta has a fresh, modern vibe that manages to feel welcoming to all ages, in no small part due to its staff.
Leading the collection is the Oscar Dog Bed, a contemporary take on rest that treats nap time with the same importance as your own. Crafted with a solid oak frame and wrapped in leather, the bed feels both architectural and intimate - a throne of your pet's own to claim. A plush cushion with a removable cover keeps naps comfortable while making weekly cleaning refreshingly easy. Offered in three sizes, it's designed to suit everyone from the curled-up napper to the full-body lounger.
The Ferrari Luce, revealed last week in San Francisco, is a transplant of Apple's design language into automotive form. Everything about this interior, from the E-ink key fob to the OLED dials to the obsessive material purity, carries the unmistakable signature of Apple's design peak from 2015 to 2019, when Ive still occupied his Cupertino office and the car project remained alive.
The project was originally intended to be much less, simply a garage for the owners' current beloved collection of five Porsches-two convertibles, a coupe, an SUV, and an electric sedan. But as they started talking, says lead architect Carl Baker, the mission crept to include "the ability to indulge all of their hobbies."
The concept's core is the classic Bialetti Moka Pot, iconic for its compact build of faceted aluminum. In this proposal, the upper chamber is recast in Hermès orange with a sculpted horse forming the lid's finial and body. The animal's legs extend down the sides of the upper chamber to transform the pot into a small stovetop design object. visualizations courtesy Jane Morelli
Cars and watches share a lot in common; the biggest intersection point is, of course, design. Inspired by the automotive brilliance of Zagato, the Chopard Lab One concept watch is a fine example of what I mean. This collaborative watch from Chopard and Zagato is a manifestation of automotive thinking realized in a wrist-sized form factor, highlighting structure, lightness, and engineering - the three main stakes of the Italian coachbuilding brand, founded by Ugo Zagato in 1919.
If you follow concept design on social media, there's a good chance you've already stumbled across Jane Morelli's work. She's the designer behind that Lacoste x Bialetti moka pot that went viral not too long ago, and now she's back with something that somehow manages to feel even more covetable. For the Year of the Horse, she has created a concept coffee set that imagines what a Hermès x Bialetti collaboration could look like, and the result is genuinely breathtaking.
While mainstream vehicles usually get comprehensive updates every few years, low-volume exotics tend evolve more gradually. Supercar platforms often remain unchanged for a decade or more, with manufacturers instead focusing on what can be tuned, massaged, added, or subtracted to keep their lineups fresh. Every once in a while, though, a performance car debuts that truly earns the label "all-new," and the Lamborghini Temerario is one of them.
Its design is characterized by a single, powerful line that runs from the sharp nose to the abrupt tail, creating a sense of forward motion even at a standstill. The body is a collection of interconnected trapezoids and clean angles, forming a cohesive whole that is both brutally simple and endlessly complex. This was a car designed as a piece of kinetic sculpture, an object whose form was so powerful it became a cultural touchstone for an entire generation.
The best custom builds do not just remix old ideas. They ask what those ideas would look like if they were born today, with access to current tools, materials, and manufacturing processes. The SP40 Restomod Speedster is that question answered in carbon and billet. It takes the stance and spirit of a 1930s streamliner, that long, low, purposeful shape built for speed rather than comfort, and reimagines it through the lens of modern coachbuilding.
We are not building mobility. We're building motorcycles. We're building something for joy and for fun," Chinnock said. "If it takes away the ability to operate it and experience it, then just get in a pod and go from point A to point B.
