GOODWOOL CAR COVERS Goodwool approaches car-cover construction from a fresh angle – its indoor covers use pure Merino wool. Each shell is bespoke to an individual car, because it replicates every precise part due to a 3D digital-layering programme. Merino wool is lightweight, super soft and breathable – it keeps the humidity value between 40 and 60 percent inside the car, regardless of outside temperature. The outer layer uses a blend of polyurethane and elastane to provide a snug yet adaptable fit, as well as water resistance. The price is entirely dependent on your requests. www.goodwool.it
FRANCK MULLER WATCH Franck Muller’s latest iteration of its popular Vanguard series takes the model line into automotive-inspired territory. The handapplied indexes and numbers are influenced by motor sport aesthetics, while the Racing Collection watches’ rubber strap is integrated into the case with two unseen screws. The movement is automatic, and the models are available in 18k rose gold or stainless steel, with a chronograph or classic hours, minutes and seconds. A variety of colours are available, and prices begin at £2700. www.franckmuller.com www.frostoflondon.co.uk

CALLUM LOUNGE CHAIR Aston Martin and Jaguar designer Ian Callum CBE’s take on a Lounge Chair and Ottoman is limited to 50 pieces. It features a carbonfibre structure and a moulded plywood shell that’s covered in a smoked-eucalyptus veneer. The starshaped base is crafted from aluminium, and finished by hand to complement the carbonfibre spine’s colour. Callum has put together ten leather options – this one is Bridge of Weir Delta Blue – but colour choice is infinite beyond this palette. Prices start at £8500. www.callumdesigns.com
