While this chair by British designer Max Lamb looks as if it’s been touched by King Midas

1. Cleft gold leaf and chestnut chair, http://www.galleryfumi.com

“While this chair by British designer Max Lamb looks as if it’s been touched by King Midas, what I love is its primeval shape that stays true to Lamb’s signature rough-hewn style.”

KENG YANG SHUEN, fashion writer 

2. Infinity leather cross-body bag, $2,590, Givenchy 

“A look-at-me apple-red hue + bold chain hardware + clean, architectural lines = my kind of cool yet understated statement bag.” 

SOFIA KIM, writer 

3. Raf Simons wool sweater, cotton-blend T-shirt, cotton pants, metal necklace with beads, and leather loafers, Club21 Four Seasons 

“The Belgian designer redefines nonchalant elegance – and how I want to dress every day – with this look from his own men’s collection. And the coolest thing is that everything would probably look just as good on a woman.” 

NOELLE LOH, editor 

4. Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello brass ring, $940, Saint Laurent 

“The asymmetry of this ring speaks to me because, to paraphrase a saying, ‘There is beauty in imperfection’.” ADELINE ENG, senior designer 

5. Brass and mother-of-pearl bracelet, Mulberry 

 “I’m a step closer to my dream of owning a piece of Renaissance art with this, what with its printed mother-of-pearl charms that mimic Elizabethan miniatures.” 

LYDIA TEO, editorial intern 

6. Chez Georges villa, http://www.designhotels.com

“This seven-room villa in Rio de Janeiro has a stylish mix of rustic (cue the traditional glazed mosaic tiles) and mid-century modern (I love furnishings from the likes of Nils Jonsson and Ricardo Fasanello). Call it my dream home away from home.”

IMRAN JALAL, fashion editor
