Isay Weinfeld cabinet

Putting all other bathroom furniture to shame is Isay Weinfeld’s vision of a medicine cabinet. The inviting combination of shapes, materials, drawers and shelves is not only keeping in the Brazilian architect’s signature style, but also allows us to flaunt our indulgent purchases, while keeping more mundane essentials under wraps.

A grooming mainstay for any discerning London gent since 2006, Murdock has finally launched its own shaving range. Tastefully packaged and fragranced with its citrusy Avalon scent, the line includes a moisturising pre-shave oil for softening whiskers, a classic jar of shaving cream infused with evening primrose and sunflower oils, and a soothing aftershave balm with calendula and chamomile to soothe.

Nars boutique, New York

There’s a new kid on the Bleecker Street block, Nars’ first stand-alone boutique. Designed by Fabien Baron, who was also the brains behind the brand’s sophisticated rubber packaging, the shop is an amalgam of sharp minimalism and classical European accents, with a mostly black and white palette, save for a pop of bright Jungle Red - which first appeared in Nars’ inaugural collection of 12 lipsticks. To mark the occasion, the brand has suitably rolled out a rich, brown-rose shade of lipstick, suitably named after the boutique’s address.
