Design studio Cookie Bros. introduces an interesting piece of furniture constructed from solid ash wood with the tattoo chair. Inspired by old school tattoo culture, the versatile char is equipped with adjustable and optional parts for each tattooist preference whilst working. Cookie bros. took the ink to their classic wood grain chair by taking  classic body art motifs with American tattoo artist Daniel O. Sawyer, also known as Danny Boy.

Get your summer on with Insight‘s latest addition to their family of shirts. Dubbed as the Paradisio shirt, it’s reminiscent of those Hawaiian shirts your Dad might have worn but way cooler with a bit of modern detailing. Made of 100% rayon, this super soft shirt makes it perfect in midsummer heat. It features a full front button closure with a single contrast button detail as well as cuffed sleeves and a rounded hem. What a gorgeous floral print. Now available at Need Supply for $72.

British label Blood Brother has teamed with erotic magazine Baron for some seamy tees and sweatshirts featuring the work of three artists (Viktor Hachmang, Tyrone LeBon, and Eva Stenram). While the graphics get a little risque, things stay abstract enough that you won’t feel too pervy wearing them on your chest at night.

Some of the work shirted here will be appearing in issue two of the magazine, and Oki-Ni and Selfridges will have the soft goods later this month. Mind the lightly NSFW crotch displays in the gallery and the video below.

On a steep hill in Fukuoka, Japan, we see two different housing structures facing different angles. Developed by Hiroyuki Arima of Urban Fourth, the property was split into eight different zones containing 8008 plants in the vicinity (hence leading to the name.) Precise calculations allow natural light to flood the rooms, creating a beautiful interior. Those views overlooking the ocean from a higher ground also can’t be that bad.

Usually when we think of coffee in beer, it’s a dark-as-night roast in an even darker Imperial stout, so this Dayman Coffee IPA is a nice surprise. Excess hops and coffee might seem like an odd pairing, but the flavors here seem to come from a lighter roast: piquant, berry-like, a little bit floral, even. Part of Stone‘s compelling 2013 collaborations series, Dayman features the lended ladles of Aleman and Two Brothers: two Chicago brewing outfits, the latter having recently branched out into coffee roasting.

This buyer’s guide is a gentle reminder to throw away your old underwear as it’s time to refresh for the spring. We focus in on the boxer brief: a hybrid undergarment that fuses the common brief style with the elongated leg of the boxer shorts without that air to the wind feel. A proper boxer brief will fit snug and keep things in order while also looking great on wear. We present a high/low list of options from the likes of UNIQLO, The White Briefs, and others.

This guide is an update to our 2012 list of men’s undergarments.

1. Etiquette Clothiers Tux Black Boxer Briefs

Fix up your black tie look with these briefs from Etiquette Clothiers. Fine 40/1 organic combed cotton is employed to give you comfort on wear. ($36)

2. MeUndies

These well-priced boxer briefs from MeUndies feature 92% Micro-Modal fabric made from beechwood making them the lightest weight boxers on this list. Available in countless colors and patterns ($16)

3. UNIQLO Men’s Airism Low Rise Boxer Briefs
The most economical briefs on this list are also some of the most technically forward: the UNIQLO Airism low rise boxer brief features a touch of polyester to give them stretch. The Airism technology is quick-drying, anti-microbial, and anti-odor fighting. That’s good news for all. ($13)

4. The White Briefs Short Leg Boxer Briefs

We have no idea what the model is doing in the photo above. What we do know is that these premium briefs from The White Briefs feature a short leg opening and are made from 100% organic Supima cotton. ($43)

For those who like to keep things locally made, these New York City produced briefs are also made from Supima cotton for ultimate comfort. ($42)

Food magicians Bompas & Parr, designers of  ”spectacular experiences often working on an architectural scale with cutting edge technology…exploring how the taste of food is altered by synaesthesia, performance and setting” join forces with British designer Kit Neale. To celebrate Kew Garden’s summer festival IncrEdibles, a celebration of edible plants, Neale has knocked up some tasty uniforms for staff working on the Bompas & Parr installation. “A dramatic display that will ask people to think again about the food that they eat every day. The pond in front of the Palm House, one of London’s most iconic structures, will be transformed into a giant fruit salad boating lake.” So, OTT fruit prints on jeans, aprons, tees and shorts should do the trick. See them all in the gallery.

Designed by Lake Flato architects, this home in the dry landscape of the Santa Fe hills is a little bit special. A low lying structure surrounded by terraces, courtyards and outbuildings, the layout makes the most of its challenging location, “the east-west orientation of the main living space capturing the transforming qualities of light throughout the day.” Well rusted corrugated metal, concrete and plenty of glass to admire those incredible views, this structure acts as family home, office and gallery space for its collecting residents. Take a look inside.
