Ariel Ace Before it built the face-rearranging Atom, Ariel made face-rearranging motorcycles. Now, Ariel has announced that they will be building their first two-wheeler since the 1970s. The Ace will feature a 1237cc V4 churning out 173 horsepower and the option for a fully manual or dual clutch transmission. Believe it or not, the insane engine and drivetrain isn’t the most important part of this bike. That would be the interchangeable parts. Yes, if you’re the picky type, Ariel will offer a selection of different suspensions, tanks, seats and more, making this one of the most customizable bikes from the factory, ever. arielmotor.co.uk |

Knoll Pollock Arm Chair Charles Pollock was broke when he walked into Knoll’s offices with several chair prototypes made from scrap plumbing. He was given a job and went on to develop what would become the iconic 657. Today, the 657 (more commonly referred to as the Pollock Chair) is most remembered for its iconic, minimalist design, where form followed function. The chair has been out of production for 35 years, but is now being reintroduced in memory of the legendary designer who passed away just last summer. It’s made from tubular steel, cast aluminum and high quality leather, so it should physically hold up for as long as the design does — that is, a lifetime. $2380 |
