In the market for a Bentley sports car, a Jean Paul Gaultier dress or a cell phone, but don’t feel like dealing with a pesky salesperson?
Literally at the touch of a button, visitors to the Mondrian South Beach can buy those items — as well as more prosaic hotel gift-shop staples like toothbrushes — from a new lobby vending machine called a Semi-Automatic.

The spirit of De Stijl is still alive and well, as evidenced by this Mondrian-inspired watch cabinet which is soon to be released by the revered luxury goods purveyor Smythson, of Bond Street.
Part of an entire men’s collection for this fall, the cabinet is finished with a black pigskin leather exterior and contains a perpetual motion watch “rocker” that pulls out to reveal hidden storage at the cabinet’s rear.
White is the primary color of the drawers, offset by the Mondrian black grid.
Apart from providing storage for watches, the cabinet also stores accesories like belts, sunglasses, cufflinks, tie pins, key fobs and any other precious accessories one might have.
