EDITOR’S NOTE

ould you pay 27,900 Baht for a single Versace desert fork? How about 19,200 for 33cm Versace plate? Prestigious fashion maestros, renowned for their artistry in couture, accessories, fragrances, and even hospitality, are now crafting an exciting new chapter in home décor.

This shift in consumer desire has birthed ‘haute décor,’ an interior design philosophy deeply rooted in haute couture’s principles. Like its fashion counterpart, haute décor marries detail, craftsmanship, and superior materials, transforming each piece into a functional work of art that reverberates the brand’s ethos.

Indulging in haute décor is a statement, an affirmation of one’s taste for the finer things in life and an investment in a luxurious lifestyle. Unleash your credit card and turn to page 58 to embrace the artistry where haute décor resides.

With an array of exceptional nominees representing the pinnacle of superyacht design from around the globe, the atmosphere was thick with anticipation. Put on your Sunday’s finest and turn to page 66 as we draw the curtains back and celebrate the art of yacht design, construction, and ingenuity.
