Public Infrastructure & Rooftop Landscapes
CopenHill puts a recreational landscape on a working waste-to-energy plant. The valuable idea is a second use for an industrial roof, not an architectural image being mistaken for proof of carbon neutrality.
Certified Electric Flight & Pilot Training
Pipistrel’s Velis Electro makes electric aviation interesting through a deliberately limited mission. A two-seat training aircraft asks a more useful question than a promise to replace every kind of flight.
Geometric Textiles & Everyday Carry
BAO BAO ISSEY MIYAKE’s TRACK embeds its triangular structure within fabric. The bag’s changing volume makes geometry something you use rather than a pattern you merely look at.
Whisky Methods & Precise Labelling
Nikka Coffey Malt is made from malted barley, yet its producer classifies it as grain whisky. The explanation is a useful doorway into why the making process can tell you more than the most familiar word on a label.
Florentine Hardstone Inlay & Living Workshops
In commesso fiorentino, a vein in a stone can become fur, a petal or a distant hill. The surprising art is not painting on minerals, but finding the picture within them and fitting its pieces together.
Scientific Encounters & Shared Knowledge
CERN’s Science Gateway offers a different kind of exceptional day out. Interactive experiments make the hidden structure of matter something to investigate, without promising a visit inside the Large Hadron Collider.
Large-Sensor Cameras & Physical Controls
Fujifilm’s GFX100RF puts nine frame shapes on a physical dial. The interesting luxury is not simply resolution, but a different way of deciding what belongs in a photograph.
Exoskeletons & Contemporary Hospitality
Morpheus in Macau turns its load-bearing exterior into the building’s identity. The spectacle becomes more interesting when you understand what that lattice makes possible inside.
Independent Manufacturers & Bespoke Structures
The RUF CTR Anniversary rewards a second look underneath its familiar outline. Its own carbon monocoque makes this a different proposition from a cosmetic restoration.
Independent Watchmaking & Optical Engineering
Ressence’s TYPE 7 puts an oil-filled display above a mechanical movement. The result invites a different relationship with a watch face, with a second time zone built into the moving composition.
Champagne & The Art of Assemblage
Krug Grande Cuvée 174ème Édition gathers wines from ten different years around the 2018 harvest. The new release makes an old cellar library relevant in the present.
Experimental Ceramics & Collectible Craft
Jongjin Park’s Strata of Illusion won the 2026 LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize. Its chair-like form begins with layered paper and porcelain slip, then lets the kiln alter the architecture.
