Umamma Restoration

Housed in a 16th-century palazzo in Tuscany's San Miniato, the Umamma Restoration transforms a former stable into a sleek Italian apartment. The interior backdrop is formed by original exposed brick walls, dramatic archways, and pebble floors. Woven throughout the historic details are a series of modern updates including a stainless steel kitchen and contemporary fixtures to create an overall industrial vibe, while steel-frame windows highlight views of the adjacent countryside. But the most unique feature has to be the old wheel once used to cut prosciutto. The antique now opens a trap door in the bedroom floor, leading to a secret cave with a heated swimming pool — a feature that undoubtedly gave the home its name which means "a moment of wonder" in Italian.

Banshu Hamono Tsume Shears

For more than 400 years, the Banshu region of Japan has been the home of some of the most skilled artisan blacksmiths on earth. That tradition continues today through products like these Tsume Shears, forged by hand from a single piece of Japanese steel using the same techniques that have been passed down for generations. Ideal for cutting fabric, thread, or canvas, the shears are also useful in the kitchen and garden. Each pair is presented in a wooden gift box and wrapped in a red and black cloth.

2020 Rezvani Tank SUV

The original Rezvani Tank was an aggressive, powerful upgrade from the Wrangler on which it was based. The 2020 model is far more than that. All-new — it shares zero parts with its predecessor — it's built using a body-on-steel frame design, with a suspension designed in collaboration with Fox Racing. A Demon-sourced 1,000 hp 6.2L V8 will be available, as will a Military Edition that includes integrated protection against EMP attack. Expect more details later this summer.

Tesla Model P Phone Concept

Fresh off his Citroen eCV concept car, designer Martin Hajek has returned to his roots with a concept phone. Dubbed the Model P, it imagines what a Tesla-branded phone might look like. The rear of the phone is given a car-like glossy red paint finish, with a sculptural fin in the center and a camera cutout that recalls headlights of the company's cars. Other callouts to their automotive language can be found in the pointed "notch" at the top of the screen, and in the carbon fiber detail around the speakers and charging port. Purely a concept at this point, it does posit an entertaining "what if?" scenario.

Vilebrequin x Off-White Swim Shorts

Part of Off-White's Fall 2019 swim collection, these Vilebrequin Swim Shorts are a stylish way to enjoy the water. They're made from quick-drying polyamide with a 50/50 cotton and polyester lining and finished with a rear right pocket and drawstring ties. The black and white pairs feature "OFF" graphics and orange drawstrings, while the eye-popping yellow trunks have watercolor graphics and a black drawstring.

1990 BMW M3 Convertible

The first-generation BMW M3 was a wolf in sheep's clothing. The M3 is a good-looking car without the sleek lines or cramped dimensions of the usual sports car while being one of the best driver's cars of its era. BMW made just over 700 M3 convertibles from 1986 to 1992, and this white 1990 example is even rarer, being one of 12 Spanish-market models with no catalytic converters. Extremely well preserved, the car is nearly all original. On just its third owner since new, a recent refresh and new convertible top mean this classic M3 is ready for another 30 years of driving.

1993 Land Rover Defender 110 SUV

Thanks to the 25-year rule on importing foreign cars into the US, classic early- to mid-90s Land Rover Defenders are starting to pop up for sale with increasing regularity. This 1993 Defender 110 is one of the best-looking we've seen and looks to be a steal at its buy-it-now price on eBay. The list of work done is extensive, from bodywork to nearly every gasket on the body and drivetrain being replaced and a new quilt-stitched leather interior that is a work of art. The engine was replaced with a newer Land Rover 200 Tdi diesel and restored T77 transmission, keeping the restoration Land Rover-centric. The exterior was repainted in the original Cosmo Black, and accessories like a roof rack, genuine Land Rover side steps and checker plate, and a huge dock rope scream "overlanding". Buy it now and it includes your choice of an air conditioning unit or free shipping to the lower 48 states.

Cabin Stokkoya

Anchored to a hillside on a Norwegian island, the Cabin Stokkoya offers a minimalist seaside retreat. The shelter sits lightly on the terrain, perched on a series of piles. Its dark timber cladding is inspired by the coastal rock formations while a contrasting interior provides a warm refuge from the rugged climate. Inside, integrated furniture throughout creates multi-use spaces to make the most of the home's compact footprint. Flanked by two bedrooms, the main living space runs linear across the terrain, allowing for panoramic views of the shoreline from west-facing glazing, while windows toward the east frame in the verdant landscapes.

Clandestine Stash Set

Made with a velvet interior to house valuables that deserve an extra level of privacy, these three book boxes will blend in comfortably with any library. Each book's disguise is furthered thanks to the titles: the Steel Castings Handbook, a Concrete Manual, and the 3306 Vehicular Parts Handbook — less than interesting themes that should encourage even the most curious readers to shy away. A perfect home for your prized possessions as well as a unique gift idea, the books arrive as a set of three.

Adler Lodge Ritten

Situated on the Renon plateau overlooking the city of Bolzano, the Adler Lodge Ritten is an eco-hotel in Italy's Dolomites. The resort is comprised of two guest buildings with junior suites and 20 lakeside chalets. Inspired by the surrounding forest, the cabins are made from natural materials including sustainably harvested wood. Their minimalist forms resemble the area's alpine shelters while the dark facade fades into the surrounding trees. Interiors are clad in natural timber and feature private bio saunas and floor-to-ceiling glazing highlighting the surrounding landscape. Aside from lodging, the property offers a main lodge with a bar, restaurant, and spa as well as two saunas nestled in the forest. Guests are also encouraged to take full advantage of the surroundings by exploring the mountains and meadows on foot, bikes, or skis.

2020 KTM Enduro Motorcycles

This June the Red Bull KTM factory team sent five riders to the Austrian Erzberg Rodeo, the largest enduro event in the world, with four of them taking spots in the top ten, including second overall. Now KTM is taking everything it learned racing and putting it into a huge new lineup of enduro bikes for 2020. 12 models and six different engine sizes in two- and four-stroke designs are available, meaning if you can't find something you like here, you probably aren't going to find it anywhere. Race-proven upgrades like Brembo brakes and machined aluminum hubs and redesigned chassis mean that even if you aren't competing, you'll have some of the best machinery on the planet underneath you.

Out of Office: Lake Como

Close the laptop and head out onto the water with our Lake Como weekend itinerary.

Presented by TAG Heuer.

Rent: Como Classic Boats
Riva got its start in 1942, just a little over an hour from Lake Como. Since then its boats have become synonymous with Italian luxury. Como Classic Boats gives you a chance to experience it for yourself, taking in the lake as an experienced captain points out highlights hidden from the shore.

Eat: Ristorante Caffe Teatro
Attached to the Teatro Sociale Opera house, this charming restaurant is much more than a convenient excuse to grab a drink during intermission. Surrounded by the ancient walls of the city, the dining spot features an intelligent mix of local and Italian favorites, along with an extensive wine cellar. Sit outside on the piazza for a brilliant view of the adjacent Como Cathedral, or duck inside for a table near the walled garden and enjoy one of the most memorable locations in Como.

Recharge: Bar Mariett
Cozy and intimate, Bar Mariett has been a trustworthy stop for locals since 1887. The oldest bar in Como has a large outdoor area that's perfect for people-watching while sipping on a summer aperitif or a glass of Prosecco. The cafe/bar also offers a full menu of traditional fare along with a tempting happy hour packed with wines and classic cocktails.

Shop: Tessabit
Founded in Lake Como in the '50s by the same Molteni family that runs it today, this boutique has been dedicated to the cutting edge of fashion for over 60 years and has expanded beyond its humble beginnings with multiple stores in the area.

Shop: Andreoli Rita
Tucked away on a tiny side street, this easy-to-miss bookstore offers both well-worn classics and iconic art prints. Mercifully free of tourists, it's an ideal place to pick up a souvenir that's guaranteed to be one of a kind.

Eat: Il Salumaio
Situated in the heart of Como, Il Salumaio is an idyllic Italian Deli. Stop in to pick up pasta, charcuterie, cheese, wine, and house-cured olives, then take your tasty treats to the water for some al fresco snacking.

Stay: Villa Derriere
From the home-cooked breakfasts to the hand-crafted soap and bath oils, Villa Derriere is full of thoughtful touches. The two-room B&B is located in the heart of Cernobbio and features comfortable rooms with garden views and morning meals prepared with organic ingredients right from the owner's farm. They also offer on-site bike rentals for exploring the nearby lake and Villa Erba.

Sip: Hemingway Cocktail Bar
As this bar's namesake once suggested: "If you want to know about a culture, spend a night in its bars." With a friendly staff and cocktails crafted from fresh juices and top-shelf liquor, this must-visit watering hole is tucked along a side street only a few blocks from the lake. Order Hemingway's favorite double daiquiri, or opt for a spritz while you munch on some bar snacks between sips on their cozy gazebo this summer.

1967 Jaguar Pirana Coupe

Italy and Britain are no strangers when it comes to sports cars, most famously with the long-term collaboration between Aston Martin and Zagato. Not quite as well-known but a design that would go on to heavily influence Lamborghini's Espada grand tourer, the 1967 Jaguar Pirana took the E-Type and added long, low bodywork by Bertone. Penned by the legendary Marcello Gandini, the Pirana was a semi-monocoque design that favored luxury over the E-Type's original lightweight, racing-inspired design. Commissioned by the British newspaper the Daily Telegraph, the car debuted at the 1967 London Motor show. The Pirana would go through several conversions over the years, from a manual transmission to automatic and two-seater to 2+2 GT before being brought back to its original specification. While a one-off, Gandini would use many of the concepts on the production Espada of 1968.

Brad Pitt & Jennifer Aniston's Beverly Hills Estate

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were married in 2000 and the following year they moved into a 1934 Wallace Neff-designed estate in Beverly Hills. During their five years in the home, the couple respectfully renovated the interior with modern conveniences including a gourmet kitchen and digital projector room while still maintaining its historic integrity. The main house features four ensuite bedrooms, a 20-person dining room, bar, and exercise room. Its lower level opens out to an expansive stone terrace with a swimming pool and an outdoor lounge. A detached guest house offers an additional two-stories of living space, all overlooking the newly built tennis pavilion.

Ducati Streetfighter V4 Motorcycle

In 2017, Ducati unveiled the Panigale V4 to the public. A thinly-disguised MotoGP prototype for the street, the V4 packed a MotoGP-derived 1103cc V4 engine making 214 horsepower — the most in its class — and out-performing everything else in any category you wanted to measure. Taken as it was from Ducati's MotoGP program, the Panigale V4 also had a MotoGP-like riding position, which was the only thing to possibly critique about the bike. Now you can't even say that with the upcoming release of the Streetfighter V4. Using the same chassis and engine as the Panigale, the Streetfighter loses the coverings to show off the beautiful motor and gets a more upright riding position with higher handlebars. Nearly everything else is carried over, which means that not only will the Streetfighter V4 dust everything else on the road, you can be a lot more comfortable while doing it. The official debut will take place at the EIMCA show later in 2019.
