MATERIAL PURSUITS

This weekend's curated luxury trends

Ready For Takeoff

Confident luxury. That’s how BRABUS, makers of the “ultimate go-anywhere pickup,” are describing the next 900 XLP Superblack “One of Ten.” Untamed and unstoppable, this bespoke supercar is the third addition to the brand’s monochrome design series. Defined at its core by the apex of uncompromising rocket ship power and an extravagant BRABUS 1-Second-Wow Character, there is nothing else quite like it. Based on the Mercedes-AMG G 63, this next-level Geländewagen represents the very heart of the BRABUS roots—designed to push the limits with its unmistakable black and bold design, breathtaking performance, and masterpiece luxury. It is the definitive BRABUS machine, an unstoppable night rocket, and an homage to more than four decades of passion, luxury, and heritage. The interior design in "Mondial Black" impresses with its one-of-a-kind style and attention to detail, rounded off by special shell diamond quilting. Available now for a starting price of more than $400,000. Visit brabus.com.

ROLL OUT THE BARREL

If you’ve yet to explore the health benefits (and bliss) of a sauna session, British Columbia-based Nootka Saunas is ready to help change your life. Beyond the hypnotic cedar aroma, tranquil exhales, and calming sensations you feel while in a sauna, research has shown that it can improve your sleep, reduce anxiety and stress, and increase immunity. A decadent steam can also improve circulation (better blood flow through the body means fewer aches and pains), flush toxins, and aid in fighting off illnesses and viruses (eucalyptus and other essential oils are ideal for reducing congestion). Crafted in the Pacific Northwest, Nootka’s cedar barrel saunas are fabulous addition to your backyard oasis. The cylindrical shape of a barrel sauna makes for a great convection and is proven to hold up even in harsh climates. Base price without accessories is $7,250. Visit nootkasaunas.com.

Pretty In Pickleball

What do Emma Watson, Drew Barrymore, George Clooney, and Leonardo DiCaprio have in common? These A-list celebrities all love pickleball, the hottest sport du jour. If you count yourself among them, you’ll want to know about Mark and Graham, a luxury purveyor of accessories and match day gear. The best part is, many of them can be personalized (who doesn’t love a good monogram?) From racket covers to pickleball bags to totes and duffel bags, you’ll be hitting the court in style. Pickleball accessories like Mark and Graham’s travel jewelry cases and leather tassel zipper pouches (available in fun hues of yellow, pink, orange, and green) are convenient to have on hand on match day and every day.
