Fifty years on, the most quietly radical thing about Vico Magistretti's Maralunga is still the noise it doesn't make. Push the headrest up, pull it down, and a hidden mechanism inside the cushion does the rest; no levers, no clicks, no visible hardware. Just a sofa that knows when to sit formally and when to sprawl.

For more than 700 years, the island of Murano, just outside Venice, has been renowned for producing some of the world's finest handcrafted glass. Today, Murano glass remains a symbol of quality, artistry and timeless design, with its beautiful lamps bringing elegance to homes, hotels and commercial spaces around the world.

Lay figure mannequins were once practical studio tools. Today, the best surviving examples read just as clearly as sculpture. Used by artists, sculptors, tailors and academies, these articulated wooden figures helped with the study of anatomy, proportion, drapery and movement.

There is a particular hush that falls over a room when a piece of genuinely old, genuinely heavy silver is set down on the table. It is not reverence, but more a recognition that the object has outlived everyone who first admired it, and intends to outlive the rest of us too. Such is the case with a remarkable solid silver hot water kettle, also known as a samovar, hallmarked London, 1837, from the workshop of Sebastian Crespell II.

Pushkin's recently visited the Treasure House Fair at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, and what makes it stand out is how much it broadens the idea of an art fair. Rather than focusing on one corner of the market, it brings together art, antiques and design in a way that feels varied, clear and well judged. Around 70 international dealers take part, with each object independently vetted, so the fair has the polish of a major event without feeling overblown.

Pushkin's has developed a remarkable ability to take heritage trunks and reimagine them as entirely new luxury pieces. The team creates bespoke designs tailored to the lifestyle, taste, and collecting passions of each client. The result is a category of luxury that feels deeply individual: objects with history, transformed through creativity into something entirely original.

History often preserves great men in the biggest possible ways - towering statues, grand portraits, and victories that reshape nations. But sometimes the most moving reminder of a life comes in miniature. In this case, it is a mourning ring: small enough to sit in the palm of a hand, yet large enough to carry the memory of one of Britain's most famous naval commanders, Admiral Lord Nelson.

Annie Leibovitz has defined contemporary portrait photography for over fifty years, from her early work at Rolling Stonein the 1970s through later commissions for Vanity Fair and Vogue. Her images are carefully constructed portraits that go beyond documentation, often combining character, setting and narrative in a single frame.

Few aircraft represent the golden age of air travel quite like the Lockheed Constellation. With its elegant curved fuselage, polished metal body and distinctive triple-tail design, the aircraft became one of the most recognisable airliners of the post-war period.

Across more than six decades, the artwork surrounding James Bond films has become some of the most recognisable imagery in cinema history. Long before audiences entered the theatre, these designs established the mood of each release through style, drama and spectacle.
