Stirrup House

Art is often inspired by nature but the two together are what influenced the Stirrup House. The steel-and-wood-clad dwelling is comprised of two volumes placed in a T-shape. Upon entry, the home's focus makes itself known with the painting "Rain Forest" displayed in the double-height foyer. Exposed beams and white walls create a gallery aesthetic to hang the owner's contemporary art collection while floor-to-ceiling glazing frames in views of the surrounding landscape. The emphasis on art and nature continues on the exterior where sculptural and two-dimensional artworks live harmoniously among Idaho's Bald and Dollar Mountains.

Oris James Morrison Academy of Music Limited Edition Watch

The Oris Artelier collection embodies the brand's commitment to heritage and innovation. The latest timepiece to join the line honors a living legend: Australian jazz musician James Morrison. Morrison founded the James Morrison Academy of Music which offers degree courses in jazz performance. The watch that honors Morrison features a 38mm case with a gradient 'dégradé' blue dial, golden hands and indices, and a case back engraved with the Academy of Music logo. The central seconds hand counterbalance is shaped like the finger hook of a trumpet: Morrison's favorite instrument. Limited to 1,234 pieces, the watch is finished with a black leather strap and a stainless steel folding clasp.

Fjallraven Canada Wool Padded Jacket

Warmer than a shirt but not as heavy as a down coat, the Fjällräven Canada Wool Padded Jacket is the perfect layer to any winter wardrobe. The mid-weight flannel is made from recycled wool and padded by Lavalan — an insulation made from Swedish wool that's been blended with corn starch fibers. It features a classic lumberjack check pattern with snap closures and G-1000 Eco reinforcement on the shoulders, elbows, and pocket flap for added durability. Wear it alone on mild autumn days, or layer it up when the winter temps start to drop.
