The deserted: on a dark desert highway, we had to stop for the night
Traversing our biggest ever May issue takes a lot of work – and mileage. On the way back to Wallpaper* HQ, we pulled our McLaren 675LT Super Series into a deserted high-way services and made a much needed pit-stop at a (perfectly appointed) motel, featuring design from the likes of Konstantin Grcic, David/Nicolas, Flexform and many more.
