Illoiha Omotesando Climbing Wall - JAPAN

Japanese designers Nendo wanted to express the original brand concept of "becoming beautiful, through movement" and instead of the usual rough and outdoorsy climbing wall, they came up with the idea of using interior design elements like picture frames, mirrors and flower vases to create a challenging wall with hard-to-find holds and unusual finger grips.

The Clock - LONDON

The fanciest of all - The Clock in Marylebone. Like all the most luxurious of members' clubs, there is no name at the door.
