Helen Street House

Situated around a central courtyard, the Helen Street House is a small piece of nature in the middle of downtown Seattle. At the heart of the urban dwelling is a heavily landscaped patio. The U-shaped design allows for the garden to be the focal point no matter where you are in the home. Sliding glass doors in the main living area open the interior to the outdoors, while also flooding the interior with natural light and affording views of the landscape. Although naturally weathered cedar planks and reclaimed timbers add a rustic element to the exterior facade, the contemporary form complements the city setting.

Klipsch Capitol One Speaker

Created to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Capitol Records, the Klipsch Capitol One Speaker combines classic looks with modern components. Underneath the real wood veneer, vintage fabric, and spun copper controls lies a bi-amplified system with two 2 1/4" full range drivers and a 4.5" woofer. Bluetooth 4.0 handles most modern sources, a 3.5mm analog input lets you connect legacy equipment, and the 8-hour rechargeable battery provides ample listening time. Available in black or brown, each one arrives with a redemption code for a free vinyl album from Capitol's legendary catalog.

Koda Moveable Home

Most homes — even pre fab dwellings — are meant to stay in one place. The Koda Moveable Home turns that on its head with a design that can go wherever you need. Requiring only 30 square meters of flat ground, it has a lot tucked into its small footprint, including a double-height ceiling in the main living area, fully-equipped kitchen, bathroom with shower and toilet, mezzanine sleeping area, concrete exterior, natural wood interior, and solar panels on the roof. Produced off-site, this minimalist box is delivered via trailer in one piece, meaning it takes only a day to go from installation to move-in ready.

1967 Porsche 911 R Prototype

At first, it seems hard to determine which version of Porsche's legendary sports car would be the most desirable. Over 50 years of development and countless racing victories, there are quite a few 911s that stand out — but nothing like this. This is the car gave birth to the 911's status as one of the best sports cars in the world, on or off the track. The fourth of four prototypes built before a production run of 20, this 1967 Porsche 911 R is in amazing condition, having only a light restoration in its 50-year history.

The new Vibram footbed makes each step easier with dual-density PU designed to provide added cushioning where you need it most. Elastic helps hold the leather upper together while mimicking the placement of your muscle tendons for a natural flex. Available in white, black, cola brown, and gray.

Noble Design Your Own Jeans

From the wear patterns to the fit and feel, the best selvage and raw jeans quickly become unique to the wearer. That's why having the ability to design your pair before you begin to wear them takes customization to the next level. Noble Denim in Cincinnati, Ohio is providing this rare opportunity, drawing from their supply of premium fabrics sourced from around the world. The Design Your Own process allows you to choose your fit, fabric, and the ability to mix and match from five different hardware finishes that are made in Kentucky. You also get to select a unique back patch stamped on reclaimed leather from Amish leather tanners. Your one-of-a-kind jeans are then made in the USA by sewers who have been practicing their craft for more than 30 years.

Panobook Notebook

Your desk is most likely wider than it is deep. So why is your notebook deeper than it is wide? Studio Neat's Panobook is designed specifically for use on your desk, making good use of the extra space. Measuring roughly 11" by 6", it's meant to sit in front of, behind, or beside your keyboard. Every page is made with high-quality paper and has a subtle dot grid, with added guide markers that help you draw rectangles suitable for UI mockups or storyboarding. The wire-o binding lets it lie flat when open, the rigid front and back covers give it heft, and the included slip case provides a place to store it for future reference.

Apple Farm House

Clad in a mixture of pine and concrete, the Apple Farm House blends into its mountainous setting. The home sits on an elevated plot facing south, allowing for extensive views of the neighboring mountains. Along with being a small refuge after retirement — consisting of just two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen — the house also serves as a farmhouse for the couple's apple orchard. The oversized roof creates an outdoor workspace, providing protection from the sun and the rain. Located at the front of the house, this covered terrace allows for the surrounding scenery to be enjoyed while finishing their daily tasks.

Priority Continuum Onyx Bicycle

Taking its name from the continuously variable transmission hub, the Continuum Bicycle from Priority is back and available for the first time in Onyx. The next generation edition allows riders to enjoy a quiet, smooth ride without the need to shift under load or skip gears thanks to the seamlessly shifting NuVinci rear hub. All you need to do is twist the shifter grip to the ideal resistance to climb hills with ease.

Vollebak Solar Charged Jacket

Keep yourself visible at night and stylish in the day with the Vollebak Solar Charged Jacket. When the sun's out, this lightweight, breathable cover is a light gray that pairs well with anything. At night, however, the reactive fabric glows a bright green that makes you easy to spot at the campsite, on the street, or in the water. It's fully seam-sealed and waterproofed, so it handles summer showers with ease, and its mind-bending material also stretches and compresses down, so it won't take up a ton of room in your bag or pack.

The Society Hotel

Built in 1881 to safely house sailors while on shore, The Society Hotel now serves as a refuge for Portland travelers. Accommodations come in three forms, offering a room for every type of guest. Bunkhouses give you the total hostel experience with custom-made triple decker bunks, lockers, a kitchen area, and a community table.

The lobby plays host to the hotel's cafe serving the finest coffee, beer, and wine from around the region.

2002 Bugatti EB 110 SS

In 1991, Italian entrepreneur Romano Artioli resurrected the famed Bugatti company with its first model since 1947, the EB 110 GT. Shortly after, the EB 110 SS was introduced, with 611 hp over the GT's 550 hp from the quad-turbo V12. With a 0-60 time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 216 MPH, the EB 110 still holds its own 25 years later. This black-on-red EB 110 was actually produced by Dauer, who bought the remaining parts and refined and assembled five EB 110 SS models after Bugatti went defunct in 1996. The Dauer cars are easily the best of the EB 110s, making an already rare car even rarer.

Available in white or a soft blue.

HP Z VR Backpack PC

Most VR rigs have been focused on gaming. The HP Z VR Backpack PC is not your average VR rig.

While in backpack mode, it supports most head-mounted displays and runs off of dual hot-swappable batteries yet weighs just 10 pounds, and when it's time to sit down and get work done IRL, its dock gives you support for two 4K displays and plenty of ports.

DD16 Floating Cabin

Whether you're on the snowy mountain caps or a remote lake, the Floating Cabin can accommodate you. The compact modular house is made to survive in the most isolated locations with the most extreme climates. Constructed from a laminated wood with milled ports and composite aluminum facade, the lightweight structure can be moved from site to site by helicopter or crane and its seamless design can stand up to the harshest elements. Portable pontoons even allow you to set up camp on the water. Ran by solar power, the interior consists of a bathroom with a shower and bio toilet, a double bed, dining table, kitchen, and a glazed wall to welcome in natural light and views of your surroundings — whatever they may be.

Tole K60 Outdoor Fireplace

With a simple modern design that gives it great flexibility in placement, the Tole K60 Outdoor Fireplace can add the warm glow of an open flame to anywhere from the patio to the woods. Its rectangular form stands a hair over six feet tall and a slender two feet wide and is built from corten steel with a stainless hood and grate. There's integrated log storage underneath the burning area, and thanks to slots for slide-in accessories like a grill grate, wok holder, or Teppanyaki griddle, it can serve as an outdoor kitchen, as well.

Fitzke Bootlegger Paddleboard

Inspired by Prohibition-era airplanes and boats, the Fitzke Bootlegger Paddleboard exudes retro charm. The exterior is made from high-quality marine-grade mahogany plywood, with a touring-style design that tracks straight and fast. Its hand-painted graphics are protected under a finely-buffed varnish for protection, and since less than 10% of the vessel is solid wood, you don't need to worry about weather-related expansion. The 12.5-foot board's signature feature, however, is the water-resistant storage compartment hidden in the front of the board that's ideal for your shoes, wallet, keys, or, as the name suggests, a small tipple of your favorite spirit. Each board is made-to-order by hand, making each unique to its owner.

Wim Frozen Yogurt Maker

Unlike the ice cream and yogurt makers you'll find at your local big-box store, the Wim Frozen Yogurt Maker promises to carve out a permanent place on your counter by whipping up delicious treats in just 10 minutes. It's incredibly simple to use: just open a pre-mixed bowl, add your choice of milk, close the lid, and press start. Patent-pending technology cools the basin from room temperature to under 15º F in just 90 seconds while a recyclable paddle stirs things around. Each bowl produces between 4 and 4.5 oz. of froyo, with an average of 150 calories, only 10 grams of added sugar, and excellent flavor thanks to the talents of chef Jena Derman, a six-plus-year veteran of Milk Bar. Currently, nine different mixes are available, with more in development, including a range of seasonal treats.

1985 Mazda RX-7 Evo Group B Works

For five years in the 1980s, the FIA's Group B rally spec produced some of the most powerful and sophisticated cars the series had ever seen. With entries like Audi's Quattro S1 putting out over 600 hp, rally racing hasn't seen anything like Group B since its demise in 1987. This Mazda RX-7 Group B car was assembled by the factory Mazda team but has never seen dirt due having been completed after Group B was disbanded. Based on the twin-rotor, second generation RX-7, this RX-7 Evo was one of seven made and believed to be the only one in existence today.

Walden Monterey

Henry David Thoreau wrote about the idea of simple living in natural surroundings in his 1854 novel. With that in mind, Walden Monterey is the realization of that notion. The private community sits on a 600-acre hillside overlooking Monterey Bay. Consisting of just 22 lots, each site contains 20 acres of untouched forest, allowing for total seclusion. Your only neighbors will be the property's 200-year old oak trees. Located just an hour from Silicon Valley, the first eight lots will be available this fall with the remaining becoming available in early 2018.

Driftwood Farmhouse Saison

While American craft beer continues to grow by leaps and bounds, it's seeing a big boost north of the border as well. Driftwood Beer in Victoria, British Columbia is a great example, and their Farmhouse Saison might be your best point of entry. Made for warm weather days, their interpretation of a farmhouse ale uses a long-grain bill and freshly-ground black pepper. They also use Ardennes yeast from Belgium to bring about the banana and clove flavors familiar to Saison fans.
