A Pagani race car room divider

According to Robb Report, an exclusive 800-pound, $1.5 million black Pagani Zonda R race car has been installed as a room divider inside a devoted car lover’s oceanfront condo, in Miami. The strategic installation was executed by Finish My Condo and Artefacto, both based at Florida’s southeastern tip. This supercar turned home decor concept reaffirms that some cars are indeed, works of art.

Le Palace in 2009

Gucci’s ode to Paris

Italian fashion house, Gucci, is set to debut its Spring/Summer 2019 collection at Théâtre Le Palace, on 24 September. First constructed in the 17th century as a music and dance hall, Le Palace rebranded as a discotheque in the ’70s.

In a statement released earlier this week on Instagram, Gucci said that the brand resonates with the vision of the theatre as it is a venue that gave life to a subculture that has inspired young generations to this day.

Gucci’s final show of a three-part homage to France will be the only catwalk to take place at Le Palace.

A rare Ferrari ‘Uovo’ sighting

The bespoke-designed Ferrari 166MM/212 Export ‘Uovo’ is set to headline at the Concours of Elegance in England.

The Ferrari has rarely been seen in public since being sold by RM Sotheby’s in 2017. And, the Concours of Elegance, hosted at the former abode of Henry VIII, Hampton Court Palace, marks an incredible opportunity to see one of the world’s most unique Ferraris.
