Interior Style - Thursday 4/28 Edition: A Chair Made From Boeing 737s

The Tucker Brothers' brand Fallen Furniture—a design company that uses reclaimed aircraft parts to create functional appliances—has recently unveiled a chair that has us reaching for our wallets. In short, they took a cowling from a Boeing 737—the silver removable covering that houses the airplane's engine—and turned it into a retro (and super comfortable looking) chair. This isn't the only airplane-focused design they have on their roster. They also use airplane cowlings to create conversation-starting bars (which can also be used as reception desks). Because of Fallen Furniture, a world exists where airplane fuselages become clocks or wall art and escape hatches become coffee tables—a touch of whimsy for a design that really doesn't have much life once permanently grounded.

Wednesday 4/20 Edition - High Design: The Met’s Rooftop Gets Creepy, Re-creates The ‘Psycho’ House

The Met’s roof garden is a popular summer spot offering immersive outdoor exhibits. 2016 offers British artist Cornelia Parker’s “Transitional Object (PsychoBarn),” which is indeed a replica of the creepy home featured in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 horror classic Psycho.

Parker says she was inspired not just by Hitchcock’s iconic film, but also by the work of artist Edward Hopper, who was known for painting rural landscapes punctuated by the odd barn or rambling old house. In fact, the Bates home in Psycho was allegedly inspired by Hopper’s painting House By the Railroad, and Parker’s piece shares similar characteristics. It’s covered in reclaimed wood, which comes from an actual barn; she’s stated that she wanted to contrast the “wholesomeness” of that image with the creepiness of the Hitchcock film.

One thing is for sure: This is likely to be the biggest Instagram bait of the summer, with a subtitle (PsychoBarn) that’s destined to be used thousands of times…so get to the exhibit before that happens. It opens tomorrow and will be on view through October 31 (appropriately enough).

High Seas: Tuesday 4/19 Edition - Mercedes-Benz Debuts 960HP Arrow Yacht

Mercedes-Benz Granturismo Arrow Yacht, dubbed the "Silver Arrow of the Seas", takes the three-pointed star's car design lines to the water. The 46 footer maintains classic automotive proportions and a hybrid design that combines the feeling of an open boat with the benefits of a hull cabin vessel.



The interior accommodates up to 10 people, and is lined in eucalyptus wood, features an upscale bathroom, separate dressing room, and a host of luxury standard features like a wine "cellar", ice-making machine, high-end audio system and air conditioning. Peak performance was also a major factor with two diesel engines packing a stunning punch of 960 hp, enabling this arrow to travel at a cruising speed of 30 knots (35 mph) and a top speed over 40 (46 mph).



With only 10 boats constructed, or one boat per country, official pricing has yet to be announced. However, rumors say a $1.7 million price tag is to be expected.

Monday 4/18 Dish Edition: Here’s 5 Things You Can Do With Light Beer Besides Drink It

Craft beers are where it’s at when it comes to flavor, complexity and newness. They’re what we reach for when we’re stocking up on six-packs. But when it comes to cooking, you often need beer that is, to put it nicely, a bit more basic. That’s where light beer comes in to play. So dig out the cans that have been hibernating in the back of your fridge since your neighbor from two doors down “gifted” them to you at your last party and use them in one of these great recipes.

1. Fried Beer-Battered Fish and Chips with Dilled Tartar Sauce

This version of the British staple is fried in a wonderfully light beer batter.

2. Easy Hawaiian Shoyu Chicken

Sweet and sticky, this chicken dish brings to mind teriyaki chicken.

3. Arroz con Pollo with Avocado-Green Pea Salsa

This chicken-and-rice is especially juicy and tender.

4. Flank Steak Burrito with Guacamole and Salsa

The steak for this delicious burrito is marinated in beer before being rubbed with ancho chile powder.

5. Beer-and-Cheddar Soup

It’s hard to go wrong with these creamy, bacon-studded soup.

Open House: Friday 4/8 Edition - Stunning Modern Showstopper Fetches $20 Million

This newly built home in the Doheny Estates area of Hollywood Hills West measures 8,290-square-foot, designed by architect Paul McClean. Listed for sale in February for $23.95 million, the home went into escrow after just three weeks on the market for a cool $20 million.

Cody Leibel, the developer and son of Canadian homebuilder Lorne Leibel, said, “My dad, coming from a guy who has built 40,000 homes, once told me, ‘You will never have to turn on a light in a great house’, he said. “Until the sun [goes] down, there’s not a single light that needs to be turned on in this house.”

Clearly that statement resonated with the developer and helped shape the glass-wrapped residence, which was designed in such a way that the interiors are naturally lit by the movement of the sun.

Walls of glass and slab marble, 12-foot ceilings and meticulously placed skylights and windows lend a museum-like quality to the home, which has an open-plan living room, a dining room with a glass-enclosed wine wall and a chef’s kitchen/bar. We'll let the pictures speak for themselves...
