Phase One ALPA A-Series

The A-series combines ALPA's integrated lenses with Phase One's benchmark digital backs. Available as 50MP, 60MP and 80MP models, all three are fitted with a 35mm Rodenstock Alpar lens as standard. An ultra-wide 23mm and a 70mm all-rounder are also available for broadening or narrowing your photographic horizons. From €36,000

AiAiAi TMA-2 Modular headphones

The Copenhagen studio's second generation of professional headphones allows you to create a personalised headset. Simply match your specific listening habits to its fully-interchangeable framework of 40mm speaker drivers, headbands, ear pads and cables. As well as providing 360 different configuration possibilities, the range is also available as four pre-configured styles (from an all-rounder to a DJ-centric design) for assembly-free convenience. From £100

Meccano Home

Take a much-loved childhood construction toy, a contemporary Gallic interiors brand and a team of designers and engineers and you get this highly adaptable furniture range comprising life-sized Meccano pieces. The flat-pack system comes in a range of indoor, outdoor and child-proportioned designs including benches, lamps and tables -- each built from a core of 21 basic parts. The signature nut-and-bolt fasteners are available in eight colours to create subtle contrasts to the two-tone finishes. From €149
