In late 2027, A&K Sanctuary will open Samkani Camp on Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat. Composed of five self-sufficient Airstreams, plus another dining and lounge Airstream with its own bar, the design adapts know-how from A&K’s low-impact mobile camps in Africa to provide a luxurious sojourn on the beguiling South American site. Each guest can count on a private guide and driver, and more than thirty activities are available across the Salar. A uniquely up-close-and-personal experience of an incredible, otherworldly landscape.

Louis Vuitton takes its extensive design savoir-faire to the open road in its recent collaboration with Singer, the Californian atelier known for its ultra-custom restorations of classic Porsche 911s. The marques joined forces to reimagine two vehicles – one with a Type 964 coupé chassis, dubbed “Classic” and the other, “Classic Turbo”, a Type 964 cabriolet chassis – with bespoke Louis Vuitton details. The elements redesigned include the instrument display, embossed seats, custom exterior treatments and a detachable dashboard clock created by Swiss atelier La Fabrique du Temps. The partnership involved every Louis Vuitton department, from leather artisans to trunkmakers, and the Classic even includes a specially designed roof rack that can accommodate a trunk, a surfboard or a pair of skis.

Noted Venetian glassmaker Venini’s latest release is the Cilindro con Piatto Incalmato collection, a selection of broad-rimmed vases that embody the elevated craftsmanship and future-looking style for which the house is known.
