Boasting a vast 4,920 square feet of living space, Madrone Ridge House in Sonoma Valley really is an extraordinary piece of design both inside and out. It is positioned within the watershed of northern California’s Russian River and this means that it is dry in the summers with heavy rainfall typical in the winter months. As such the plot’s geography was the driving force behind the design along with the client’s desire to co-inhabit the land with the region’s varied plant and animal life.

Nestled among trees on a hill that overlooks the valley’s iconic vineyards, Madrone Ridge House from Field Architecture beckons residents and visitors along a gravel and stone pathway and into the majestic-looking property. A 500-year-old cedar wedge serves as a bench in the entry garden and it is the perfect spot to sit and reflect. The property’s design takes inspiration from the flow of water, with copper-clad pavilions connected by glazed corridors. The pavilions are supported by two stone bases, which is where you’ll find the home’s main living spaces.

The roofs of Madrone Ridge House consist of two triangular planes each that slope toward the centre of the property and these are purpose built to collect rainwater and redirect it to river-rock basins. The roof planes fold down along the edge of each pavilion, turning to copper screens that provide striking shadow patterns on the interior areas of the home and create a visually engaging element to the interior design aesthetic. The palette for the interiors uses natural materials such as stone and oak and madrone wood finishes that really make it a relaxing space for the owners.

Available for the great price of just $90, the Artifox Monument is right up our street aesthetically here at The Coolector and each one is cast from solid cement for a real impactful presence on any creative’s desk. It takes its design inspiration from brutalist architecture on both Earth and Arrakis and the impressive-looking iPhone stand boasts sumptuous sculpted details in a traditional building material providing it with a very different hand-feel from most other stands on the market.

If you’re rocking an iPhone and you want to cultivate the sort of workspace that harbours creativity and productivity then the Monument from Artifox is an essential addition to your line up in our opinion here at The Coolector. Monument is the ideal partner in crime for your iPhone and iOS 17’s StandBy mode and, better still, this top-notch bit of kit from Artifox is also compatible with MagSafe iPhone cases so it has that extra layer of versatility.

Each one is made in the USA and there is a tangible sense of quality to the touch. Artifox’s obsession with material and architecture led their exploration to cement for the creation of the Monument. It is an imperfectly perfect building block and ideally suited to this type of workspace accessory. Every unit is hand mixed and cast, giving each and every Monument a unique one-of-a-kind look and feel that ensures that yours will be unique to you and you alone. Add a touch of brutalism to your workspace this fall – head on over to Artifox now to grab yours.

One of our favourite watches from Trintec here at Coolector HQ is their robust, adventure-ready NAV-01 Series of timepieces that are seeking to hark back to an era of aviation before digital glass displays became commonplace in aircraft cockpits. This highly striking design aesthetic ensures that the NAV-01 from Trintec will be the sort of watch that turns heads everywhere you go and it definitely won’t let you down when push comes to shove.

With prices starting at $449.95, the NAV-01 is available in a couple of different versions – a GMT version in Black or Stainless Steel and, similarly, a Chronograph version available in the same material options – so you’re sure to find one that matches your style sensibilities. Trintec develops and manufactures the majority of its products at its manufacturing facility in Ajax, Ontario, Canada and currently supplies its offerings to some of the world’s largest aircraft manufacturers and aerospace companies so you know these aviation watches really are the real deal.

For the chronograph version of the NAV-01 series, you’ll find it powered by the ever-impressive Miyota OS-20 Quartz Chronograph Movement that is both robust and reliable. It also has Japanese LumiNova on dial and hands to ensure you can read the time in low light conditions and to ensure the adventure-readiness of this timepiece, the lens is crafted from sapphire crystal with an AR coating.

If it’s the GMT that you’ve got your eye on for the NAV-01 from Trintec, this is just as expertly put together and boasts a Swiss Made Ronda 515-24 Quartz GMT Movement and this fact alone makes the sub-$500 price tag all the more remarkable. The GMT offering also has many of the same design elements as the chronograph but has an enhanced water-resistance of 20ATM which will be more than enough to handle any deep sea adventures afoot.

For fans of aviation-inspired watches, Trintec really should be a watchmaker on the tip of your tongue given just how instrumental they have been in creating the sort of timepieces that are seen on men’s wrists all over the world nowadays and their wonderful NAV-01 collection of watches is a fine example of their excellent watchmaking talents.

This 1970 Ferrari Dino 236 L-Series has just 34,000km on the clock and it is a POA offering which, of course, means it won’t come cheap but for any collector after the crowning glory for their lineup of luxury cars, this one has to be right up there with the best of them. It looks so visually impressive as it has been recently refreshed cosmetically and mechanically by Toni Auto in Maranello back in 2021 at the cost of over 75,000 EUR and it is presented in truly immaculate order.

This glorious machine from Schaltkulisse has a very well-documented history with invoices dating as far back as 1975 so you will go into it with your eyes wide open if you want to add this majestic Ferrari to your lineup. It had a long-time ownership at the hands of a French gentleman from 1975 to 2020 and during his ownership, the Dino was painted red, otherwise keeping it in fully original condition. It was always serviced at the delivering dealer, Charles Pozzi.

Named after Enzo Ferrari’s beloved son, Alfredino, the Dino was a real departure from Ferrari’s big, thirsty V-12s and one of our favourites from the brand here at The Coolector. It was powered by a compact, race-derived, 2-litre V6, four-cam engine that is mounted transversely behind the driver, something never before witnessed on a Ferrari, as all were front-engined. Styled by Pininfarina with coachwork by Scaglietti, the Dino GT was, and still is, one of the most exceptional and striking designs ever to roll off the production line. And this is your chance to own one of the most out of this world examples.

It is Rumpl’s most weather-resistant blanket to date and the accompanying stuff sack is also made with the same 2-layer hardshell fabric.

The updated 48×17 ratio provides better performance and efficiency on city roads, while also giving riders who prefer to ride brakeless more skid patches.

It has an updated rim that is wider and has sealed-bearing hubs and this is important because it provides more clearance for riders and allows for a wider range of tire sizes, up to 38c. This enhancement gives cyclists unmatched flexibility and compatibility with the latest tires from various manufacturers.
