More furniture here. Crap=Good lets us know about the Loop Stand collection, a range designed by Leif Jorgensen for Hay. The collection is a coffee table, dining table, high table and a wardrobe stand available in three heights. And, most importantly, it looks really nice.

One more great giveaway this Monday. London’s Ozwald Boateng. One winner will receive this wonderful signature chisel collar shirt and bowtie from Ozwald Boateng’s new “Tuxedo: An Evolution” collection; part of their Evening Wear Look Book. The tuxedo remains a true classic form which never strays far from its origins. Part of London’s Savile Row history, Ozwald Boateng delivers his refreshed construction of the form through the new collection.

In Boateng’s own words: “The key was combining traditional features with the contemporary silhouettes and techniques of the House. The creative challenge for me was in moving it forward, whilst respecting original design philosophies.”

Now is your opportunity to discover the fine craftsmanship of the Ozwald Boateng tuxedo line with a chance to win this collar shirt and bow tie.

This is a technically a streetwear piece but you know the drill by now, the lines are blurring, it’s all one jumble, yada yada. This Sevigny/Opening Ceremony/Vision Streetwear collaboration is basically the ’90s distilled into a single garment. And like Chloe Sevigny, it looks a bit odd but it works. Opening Ceremony has it.

Michael Williams shares his personal favorites for the holidays. A nice run through the high and low here: from AP Royal Oaks, and ultra priced bottles of wine, Williams’ taste come through with his selections. Worth a look.

There’s a shedload of ties out there but a lot of the new ties available are, shall we say, a little unsuitable for the sort of places where you’ll wear a tie. You find us the office where floral ties are encouraged and we’ll find you, ermmm, something that also doesn’t exist. A plain navy knitted tie will however will always be in style. Sorry about that last sentence, we were starting to sound like one of those classic menswear sites. Made in the U.K. from 100% silk. Garbstore has them.

Bed Stu offers their Cobbler Leo Black Rust Boots are part of our holiday giveaways. “The Leo Boot is constructed with full grain leather and hand finished with our special dying process. Details include inside zipper for easy removal, rubber mcafee heel for better grip, and lemon wood pegged outsole for added durability.” Bed Stu has been a strong supporter of Selectism for some time.

A quick preview of the forthcoming Spring/Summer 2012 collection from Commune de Paris. The two images we have shows a chambray shirt, cardigan, and polka dot polo necks. We’ll have to wait until January for a more complete look. Tease for now.

Continuing on the architecture tip, we turn to another fan of concrete and simple lines, the incredibly talented London architect David Adjaye. OBE no less. Named Designer of the Year at 2011’s Design Miami, he’s worked on numerous projects worldwide including the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC, the Nobel Peace Centre in Oslo and homes for the late Alexander McQueen, Jake Chapman, Juergen Teller and Ewan McGregor. Crane TV catches up with him at the Smithsonian in Miami to chat winning awards and sources of inspiration.

Shuwa Tei of Intentionallies Architects designed this home for a family and their in-laws. In a residential area on the outskirts of Tokyo, this home is a concrete gem causing much house envy. We’re not going to lie, we’re suckers for the over use of glass, wooden flooring and sliding doors. Design Boom had us at this description “upon entering, the interior opens gradually, beginning as a continuous living room. Seemingly carved from
a concrete block, the lower portion of the stairway unfolds into a series of open riser treads which cantilever
from the bounding internal walls”.
