Traditionally, owls are associated with wisdom and mysticism, and this interpretation from Danish designer Paul Anker Hansen is no different. The head is attached to the solid body by a magnet, which gives it flexibility to be tilted and rotated in all directions. By positioning the head, the owl can embody a variety of emotions. The inset large brown eyes, made of wedge wood, add to the expressive quality. Hand made in Denmark.

The concept for Sola Cubes marries two traditional Japanese values: a reverence for nature and a philosophical appreciation of small, humble elements that are easily overlooked. Each cube is cast from crystal clear acrylic resin and then hand polished, right down to its crisp, micro-radiused edge. Considerable craftsmanship is required to make the cubes, ensuring that no air bubbles are present. Preserved inside is a single leaf, seed, or flower — individually or in groups, the cubes create an opportunity for a meditative moment on the beauty and power of the natural world. Made in Japan.

When Ferdinand Porsche could not find a sports car he liked, he decided to build one himself. And now, the rest is history: Jerry Seinfeld drives it; Boris Johnson admires it; Steve McQueen loves it; and Jeremy Clarkson hates it. The Porsche 911 moves the world. Despised by many in Germany as a set of wheels for fat cats, it is the favorite car of free spirits and intellectuals in the U.S. and across the globe. The Porsche 911 was not just invented by one of the most fascinating and controversial families – it is also a technical meisterwerk. Since its launch in 1963, the 911 has built a reputation for itself as “the thinking man’s sports car.” Both a car and a cultural icon, it has earned a fan base that spans from young to old, East to West, connoisseur to enthusiast. Porsche 911: The Ultimate Sportscar as Cultural Icon explains how this German car became a global phenomenon and a symbol of aspiration, freedom, and the appetite for perfection, and even more, why, around the world, the 911 continues to fascinate gentlemen, ladies, and rogue drivers.  In this book, Ulf Poschardt sends Porsche drivers to the shrink and concludes that a little narcissim can be a healthy thing; he then takes them on an engaging journey through the checkered history that defines their pride and joy.  Not everyone can, nor indeed should, drive a Porsche, but Porsche 911: The Ultimate Sportscar as Cultural Icon lays bare the raw driving force behind the 911 for anyone intrepid enough to discover. Born in Nuremburg in 1967, Ulf Poschardt is a graduate of philosophy and a prominent German journalist. Poschardt has been chief editor of the German editions of both Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone, deputy editor of Welt am Sonntag, and has been an integral part of other prominent publications; he currently holds the title of chief editor at WELTN24. In addition to this book dedicated to the Porsche 911, his other publications include DJ Culture.

Nambu-tekki (cast iron) was first made in the middle of the 17th century in Iwate, northern Japan, an area rich with the raw material. A traditional craft, it remains popular today. This charming bottle opener features an abstract crow motif and stands upright, creating a mini-sculpture. The characteristic black color is the result of a lacquer glaze called urushi which prevents rust.

Joseph Opinel began his knife making career in 1895 in the Savoie region of the French Alps. The local population of shepherds, farmers, and artisans were the first to put the knives to the test but by the 1940s more than 200 million had been sold. This specialized version is for oyster shucking. The stiff 2-1/2" blade won't break or bend when put to the test against tough oyster shells, and the sturdy handle is made of moisture resistant varnished bubinga wood. It's unique for being the only folding oyster knife on the market.
