An Icon of Subversive Spirit: Aygo X UNDERCOVER
21st March 2023
With its non-conformist design philosophy, the Aygo X UNDERCOVER is a new icon of subversive spirit, pushing the boundaries of traditional car design. Premiering at Paris Fashion Week, the vehicle boasts details inspired by UNDERCOVER Head Designer, Jun Takahashi's, non-conformist philosophy, including a bi-tone grey body colour and coral red accents. With only 5,000 units of this special model set to be released, it is a savvy choice for the style-conscious urbanite in need of four wheels. The collaboration is unique in that it marks the first time Toyota has worked with a fashion house, presenting a challenge that proved interesting for the team. Tadao Mori, Toyota Motor Europe’s Head of Styling Design, noted that working with a fashion brand was different from their normative ideas, pushing Toyota to consider new approaches to the design and engineering process.

Super-yachting is to luxury travel what Haute Couture is to the fashion world. We hear all about it, but most will never get a look in.

This number doesn’t seem significant, but with the average super yacht costing a couple hundred million pounds, we’ll let you do the math.

In Defence of Private Jets: The Truth About Luxury Charters
20th September 2022
On the evening of Saturday 10th September, embassies worldwide received a private document advising leaders, where possible, to board commercial flights to the UK for the Queen’s State Funeral. Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, said he would be attending the service in his official jet. This follows months of increasing outcry on social media over the use of private jets by A-list celebrities, such as Oprah Winfrey and Taylor Swift, who’ve allegedly racked up 68 and 170 trips this year, respectively. However, the fact of the matter is, private jet charters have experienced an unprecedented growth which the industry expects to continue, and not just thanks to celebrities and world leaders. Here, Andy Christie, Director of Private Jets at Air Charter Service, shares the industry growth they’ve experienced from momentum gained at the start of the global pandemic.
Women Who Launch - Marie Soliman and Sarah Colbon of...
17th August 2022
The design industry is captivating to many primarily because it doesn't sit still and is constantly in a state of transformation. "Design is the reflection of the era we live in, and with more conscious choices and well-travelled individuals, we are seeing—and getting asked to design—more sustainable and meaningful luxurious spaces," shares Marie Soliman, Founder and Creative Director of Bergman Design House, the luxury design studio that lists BXR London and the Hilton Hotel Brussels as some of its clients. Soliman tells me that the pandemic has dramatically influenced this transformation with a significant focus on sustainability, vintage pieces, and an ethos of meaningful luxury. It was also in 2020 that the team saw their clients spending more time out at sea on their yachts in a bid to get more privacy and stay away from crowds—superyachts had turned into a home away from home, and clients were on the lookout to put their stamp on these floating mansions.
Roberto Grilli: The mastermind lighting up Formula E
24th June 2022
Recently appointed to manage the Formula E - Diriyah ePrix in Saudi Arabia, Roberto tells The Sybarite how he got into the motorsports and lighting industry, the changes he has had to make during the recent pandemic, and what the appointment to the Formula E race means to him. Tell us a little bit about yourself and your background. As DZ Engineering’s General Manager, I am currently responsible for both commercial and business development in integrated solutions for race track circuits, sports venue lighting, museums and architectural lighting. Prior to this, I had pursued automation and software engineering with the vision that I, one day, will be building the first real Mecha, a Japanese giant anime robot. Shortly after joining this, I realised that I would not have been able to survive coding for that long - I would be, in fact, bored to death. When I had the opportunity to switch professions, I grabbed on to something more exciting and here I am now, with over 15 years of experience in across both motorsports and lighting industries
Bugatti Baby Reborn - An authentic tribute to the original
24th June 2022
Ettore and Jean had intended the present as a one-off car, however the feedback from customers visiting Molsheim was so positive that the Baby went into production and was sold between 1927 and 1936. Cherished by Bugatti enthusiasts worldwide, today no collection is complete without a Baby. However, with only around 500 ever made, they have been the preserve of the lucky few. While the original Bugatti Baby was a 50% scale version of the car that brought Automobiles Ettore Bugatti to fame in the 1920s, the Bugatti Baby II offers more in terms of size and considerably more in terms of performance. Eight-year olds would struggle to fit in the original half-scale Baby, whereas at 75% scale and designed for ages fourteen and above, the Baby II has definitely become more of a young adult. “Ettore Bugatti himself was already interested in catering to the children of Bugatti enthusiasts and designed the Type 52 miniature car as a genuine Bugatti. That was a sensation at the time,” says Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti.
