With many people now choosing to wear sneakers or boots, penny loafers seem to be a less common sight on the feet of the casually dressed. For those bucking that trend, this pair by German shoe company Heinrich Dinkelacker are an exceptional shape with a laid-back look. Handmade in Budapest from Horween leather, they represent one of the best examples of a classic style that will always transcend the footwear fashions of the moment.

Ulm Stool by Max Bill

—01. Designed by Max Bill and Hans Gugelot, 1955.

Words

It is the complete simplicity of the Ulm Stool, created as a utilitarian seat for the school at which Max Bill acted as dean, that makes it such an attractive piece of furniture. It has no superfluous details, yet functions as a stool, a shelf, a serving tray or a side table – just to name a few. It's no wonder the design school's workshops were full of them, and it works just as well in a home.
