Cuckoo Clock $698

Cuckoo Clock $698

Best Made Co + Hubert Herr

Partnering with German clockmaker Hubert Herr, Best Made Co has produced a limited edition, fully mechanical cuckoo clock (that must be wound once a day). It's been handmade in Germany's Black Forest, with fir and birch sourced from the country. Herr is the only person to produce such a clock entirely in-house today. It's as intricate as it is charming—and it chimes every 15 minutes.

TAKE OFF:: It's airport day today - here's the first of three in our little Insta series. This is the newest part of Pier C at Copenhagen Airport. Designed by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects, the wing was opened in 2015 to make room for the @airbus a380. In their own words, "The 6,300 m2 expansion houses three new gates and lounges. It offers a new interpretation of the existing airport design, innovation of passenger flow and logistics, where the principle of 'nudging' has played an important role."

PART TWO:: @mcauliffeemily explores the second in our three part Byron Bay series today at @the_bower_byron_bay, a heavenly boutique hotel of 14 delicious rooms. Raw, natural and restrained its Byron in a hotel. Check out our Instastories for more, or click the link in bio for the lot!
GONE CRUISING:: Here's a quiet little corner at SHARE by @curtisstone, aboard @princesscruises. The space was designed by Jeffrey Beers, a renowned New York interior designer. They share (see what we did there?), "A signature feature of SHARE is a communal table designed to encourage the sharing of a freshly prepared meal in the company of friends and family and illuminated by hand blown glass pendants etched with inspiring phrases casting an intimate glow and creating a warm and welcoming experience. Elements not often seen in cruise ship restaurant interiors add to the comfortable atmosphere – low-backed banquettes, beautifully upholstered in luxe Chesterfield tufted leather and decorative curios from Chef Stone’s own collection." 📷 @jeffreybeersinternational⠀

HELLO SAILOR:: I don't know where this image was taken (help me Internets?) but the leather sofa and white tulip chairs are just so stylish together I needed to share this. That wine colour is my colour of the moment - clothes, furnishings, everything. Plus, those walls, yes. 📷 @melaniemorrisinteriors and @architerior
AND CHILL:: Here lies the @amansara_angkor, a refined luxury resort near the famous archaeological park, including Angkor Wat, Bayon and Banteay Srei. Previously a residence for guests of the king, Amansara (which means 'heavenly peace', hallelujah to that), is a beautiful example of 1960's New Khmer architecture, blending the Modern Movement with a distinct Cambodian style. This spot, a private plunge pool, is where you can relax after a day of exploring the temples, which are so close by. Image @aman ⠀
