Lomography gilds its cult-favorite film camera in a limited golden edition
A real-gold-plated point-and-shoot is exactly the kind of beautiful absurdity we love. Lomography is celebrating the Lomography MC-A 35mm's first birthday with a pair of limited-edition designs, one of which is literally plated in gold. It is a playful, luxurious tribute to a cult favorite. For more on cameras that earn their keep, see our piece on why the Nikon D800 still earns its place in 2026.
The Walkman Rewrites Its Legacy with an Exquisite New Chapter
Nearly everyone knows the name, but the Sony Walkman isn't resting on nostalgia. Since 1979, it has evolved from a portable cassette player into something far more refined. Today, it returns in exorbitant style, an exquisite chapter that feels more like a luxury artifact than a music device. While smartphones killed most portable players, the Walkman kept kicking, and now it does so with a curator's eye. For those who appreciate this kind of considered design, Billingham's New Rucksack offers a similarly elegant compromise.
