Le 1947, Courchevel, France

Set inside Courchevel’s plush Cheval Blanc hotel, two-Michelin-star chef Yannick Alleno’s new restaurant sets a refined tone. Designer Sybille de Margerie devised a chic palette of bronze, chocolate and mountaintop-white and staged the space with designs by Christian Liaigre, Patricia Urquiola, Olivier Gagnère and Ettore Sottsass, with white leather seats by Poltrona Frau. Yannick fuses ‘proud tradition with provocative creativity’, serving only the best cuts of his uniquely sourced ingredients, adorned like edible art

Shanghai Museum of Glass, by Logon Architects/Coordination Asia

German practice Logon has been feted across the country for its design of the Shanghai Museum of Glass, launched last spring. The museum's unsung location, in an obscure northern reach of the city, and silly acronym (SHMOG) are mitigated by the lofty transformation of this former glass-making workshop, and the dazzling exhibition spaces planned by Tilman Thuermer of Coordination Asia. The 3,500sq m showcase displays delicate decorative works spanning a millennium, with emphasis on contemporary showstoppers and even futuristic applications for space travel. Over the coming months Logon will introduce a veritable village of workshops, in a tangle of defunct buildings behind the site

On the market since 2007, Nissan's GT-R has a unique functionalism that, in our eyes, is a perfect visual match for the car's titanic abilities. Facelifted and lightly fettled for both 2011 and 2012, the current GT-R is now in the twilight of its life, but a new model is promised for 2013

According to Zegna, a couple of key items will add a lot of extra mileage to one's wardrobe next winter. A turtleneck - thin or thick - is absolutely essential. A versatile plaid-happy suit will pep up any dinner party and can be split up and paired with less visually stirring clothing for more straight-laced affairs. Meanwhile, a bit of alpaca - brushed so finely it looks as if it has had a professional blow dry and setting lotion applied at the salon - is the ultimate joy fabric
