NEWS & TRENDS NEERA IS A MINIMALIST TASK CHAIR SUITABLE FOR HOME ENVIRONMENTS Working from home continues to be the norm for the foreseeable future, and while many of us have made peace with our make-shift home offices, there can always be room for improvement when it comes to function and aesthetics for our most hard-working (no pun intended) home furniture. As for the office chair, we’re either relegated to the couch, the bar stool, the dining chair, or an actual task chair that probably looks jarring in looks when placed in the backdrop of a home (and especially a home without an office). Enter Neera, a chair designed by Silvia Barile that fulfils the ergonomic duties of a task chair but looks suitable for the home environment.

JAIME HAYON DESIGNS A STOOL THAT WILL MAKE YOU SMILE It’s impossible not to feel some amount of joy when looking at the Smile Stool, right? Launched for Madrid Design Week 2021, the playful piece is all thanks to designer Jaime Hayon and his coll.

TAKE A JOURNEY TO THE MOON + BACK WITH MOONSTONE LIGHTING Now you can visit the moon in your own space, on your own time.

We have Giopato&Coombes’ new Moonstone lighting collection to thank, featuring four faceted pendants inspired by lunar rock sculptures. Their design research led the two designers to the material used, where they worked to reveal each outlined shape directly within it. That material is a combination of handmade fibreglass that’s been infused with marble powder and ‘battuto’ Murano glass or linen glazed diffusers, depending on size.

AN 8.5 MILLION MODERN CLASSIC VILLA

BY COVET HOUSE This secluded villa is the first of a series of luxury houses created by Covet House with the purpose of inspiring professionals and design lovers to new heights in this new era. The 8.5 million, 500 m2 mansion in Russia presents elegant bespoke interiors with a modern classic touch, and a perfect balance between statement handcrafted pieces and more neutral, functional elements. “This project is a staple on luxury design. We mixed high-end furniture pieces with a modern aesthetic and shaped them into reality”, said the luxury brand, Covet House.

SNØHETTA DESIGNS TOKYO RESTAURANT WITH ALLBLACK INTERIORS Architecture firm Snøhetta has worked with Bronx-based cooking collective Ghetto Gastro to create a jet-black eatery in Tokyo that will house immersive dining experiences. Set above a convenience store in the city’s Harajuku neighbourhood, Burnside is a casual restaurant by day and a bar and lounge by night.

Space was designed with flexibility in mind, as it will host a rotating roster of chefs and be used for a wide variety of pop-ups and events. It comprises a 30-person dining room with an open kitchen, all decorated using a dark material palette with ambercoloured accents. The eatery, which marks Snøhetta’s first project opening in Tokyo, was designed for art and design collective En One Tokyo, with help from local construction partner Kooo Architects and Ghetto Gastro – an ensemble of chefs that specialises in immersive dining experiences.

MUT DESIGN CLADS MODULAR VALENCIA PAVILION IN THOUSANDS OF WOODEN SCALES Valencia studio MUT Design has designed five modular pavilions clad in scales made from leftover wood for a travelling exhibition in Spain. The pavilions will showcase work by 50 designers in five different sections to celebrate Valencia’s title of World Design Capital for 2022.

Each section – design and art, the circular economy, industry and craftsmanship, technology

and

the

transformative

economy – is housed within its own mini pavilion formed from two semi-cylinders.

TREND PRODUCTS: DESIGN GALLERIST It’s been a long year, so we have good reason to rejoice when thinking of the interior design trends coming up in 2021. From the growing importance of sustainable materials to elegant elements and a celebration of individuality and uniqueness, our 2021 trend pieces edit will provide you with a curated look that will bring your home a luxury and curated touch.

1. HALO MIRROR BOCA DO LOBO Halo Mirror was inspired by a phenomenon produced by light interacting with ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere, the Halo. Halos can have many forms, ranging from coloured or white rings to arcs and spots in the sky. Composed of a set of three mirrors, it allows different displays and creative settings. The big mirrors with different shapes have an elegant gold frame accent, perfect for contemporary interiors and elegant rooms, from stylish bedrooms to upscale halls or living rooms.

2. BOMA SIDEBOARD CAFFE LATTE Boma Sideboard was inspired by the Boma Plateau, a region in the east of South Sudan, which is also one of the few places where the wild Coffea arabica grows. This breathtaking landscape serves as inspiration for the Boma Sideboard design, where the round inox aged detail protrudes from the organic pattern of the decape wood, resembling the fantastic mountain that emerges from the plains of the Boma Natural Park.

3. TRISTEN BED CIRCU Tristen Bed was inspired by the movie Atlantics, it was made to shape comfort and to keep your little one’s dreams safe and sound while he/she travels through their imagination at night.

4. BMIDDLE MODULE, CAMALEONDA SOFA MARIO BELLINI The sectional elements of the Camaleonda sofa can be used freely and apart from one another. The backs and armrests are provided with rings and carabiners, which allows the user to create a perfect ‘seating landscape’. The sofa is very comfortable and the fact this wonderful piece is modular provides endless flexible solutions for any project or living room.

That carpet has resonated through all of this time, a remarkable piece of tapestry that became has iconic has the movie itself. This is just a small example throughout all movie and tv history where many directors and movies became famous for their beautiful cinematography. Even in movies filled with CGI and green screen effects, set decorations are essential to fill us in the aesthetic and provide us as viewers with the ambience to the scene itself. From small details to overpowering sets, these often-overlooked details are what makes us feel what the characters are feeling and experiencing.

Accessories, lighting, upholstery and architecture defined the mood throughout the movie and the scene itself, and one very wellexecuted example of this practical set decoration is the Marvel series “WandaVision”, where we’re transported through various decades of television, paying homage to the most iconic tv shows, from scenes set in the ’60s to contemporary times. Set decoration in this case was crucial, the amount of respect for the detail’s characteristic to the Epoque, and every set changed from decade to decade complete with furniture and aesthetics from the respective time. A masterpiece of set decoration that complemented with visual effects, wardrobe and exquisite acting, created a visionary series that completely stands out in modern tv.

“Set decoration, in this case, was crucial, the amount of respect for the detail’s characteristic to the Epoque“ The 60s aesthetic was amazing, but the 70s where those colours really came to life where what made the series stand out.

Furniture brands like Essential Home, specialized in mid-century modern furniture are an example of how these decorators get amazing pieces to decorate their sets with timeless pieces, in fact, the brand is already a staple in movie set decoration, even working with other Marvel production such as Netflix’s “Luke Cage”, where a jazz club could not be complete without a magnificent Botti Chandelier, the perfect addition to the set of “Harlem’s Paradise”, the night club where some of the most important plot twists and one of the main locations of the series. The heavily inspired jazz theme throughout the set made this customized chandelier the perfect addition.

SPRING-SUMMER TRENDS 2022 After some time experiencing a new way of living as the result of this unexpected pandemic we have started to adapt to a new normal and have different needs.

Experiencing the world and seeing things with new eyes made us change our habits rather quickly but we still need and want to experience life.

Interior design and fashion usually change according to seasons or social events but now more than ever we see these changes in habits leading us to new trends for spring-summer of 2022.

Maybe these trends represent the need people have to embrace the warmth of the outdoors after

spending so much time indoors. Collectively we are feeling nostalgia for simpler and mellower times, for easy sunny days. Let’s create space for what we need, let’s create trends that will serve us and help us go through these times together and come back better from the experience.

INSPIRATIONS

ENTRYWAYS DÉCOR IDEAS They say don’t judge a book by its cover, and a home should be the same. But first impressions are very important and so it’s hard to deny the impact of a good entryway.

The way you design your entryway can set the tone for the rest of the house. So you can go big and create an extravagant decoration or be softer and create a smother and minimalist design. The colours, shapes and even the materials you choose makes the atmosphere and home feel more inviting.

Here you can get inspired by different entryway decor ideas to create the space of your dreams and tell your own story.

GOLD FEVER Gold is versatile and classic, it can be used as the star piece if you want something exuberant or as a detail if you prefer to make space elegant.

Gold accents can be styled with bright hues like white or nudes to give a more Scandinavian vibe, with blue to become more elegant or even a mix of black and gold for a more mysterious interior. Since gold is one of the most significant symbols of wealth and prosperity, when you decorate the entryway with such an impressive accent it will be a strong reflection of your resilient personality and a solid statement of how you want to show your lifestyle.

BROWN AND CREAM TONES Brown and cream tones are perfect to create a relaxing and warm interior design project. If your goal for space is to create a serene charming vibe go for a brown cream colour palette and it will for sure be a comfortable and bright room. These colours are known for their neutral, peaceful influence so they are perfect to create different kinds of spaces from your own retreat, to elegant living rooms or modern and timeless dining rooms and even offices. The earthy and calming feeling that these hues provide makes them ideal for creating all sorts of rooms, cosy but spacious. It’s no surprise to see these colours being a choice for Entryways because they are inviting and make you feel welcome.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH Johannes Torpe Johannes Torpe is an amazing Danish designer that has helped clients worldwide build and strengthen their brands through playful and thought-provoking design solutions for over 20 years, with the renowned Johannes Torpe Studios, where he is the creative director.

Having worked in many areas of the world, Johannes’ practice has achieved a universality that speaks for itself. His diverse portfolio spans from interior design, industrial design, furniture design to large scale architectural concepts.

From a young age, Johannes Torpe felt that he would be in a place where he had achieved something. This is a reflection of hardworking years to be where he is today, through a number of different experiences, such as music or graphic design, before arriving at design and architecture. However, his greatest accomplishment is good life quality. After working and living all over the world, Torpe admits he has finally achieved his inner peace and feels like himself on a daily basis.

When it comes to design projects, the designer admits he can’t choose a favourite, saying “it’s like looking back at all the lovers in your life and seeing which one was the best”. But he does know where he loves to work: where the people are nice and the work becomes joy. That is why Torpe loves working with the Italian brand Moroso since it feels like a long-time family friend.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH Kelly Hoppen “With over 40 years of experience at the forefront of the design industry, Kelly Hoppen is one of the most celebrated and sought after interior designers in the world.” - Kelly Hoppen Team Kelly Hoppen MBE is a world-renowned British designer who has pioneered a simple yet opulent style that has permeated interior design at every level. In fact, one of the best things regarding Kelly Hoppen and her studio, Kelly Hoppen’s interiors, is the combination of practicality and luxury, resulting in a bespoke design that emphasizes the atmosphere.

Kelly’s ever-evolving style is underpinned by a subtly coordinated fusion of East meets West (Title of one of her famous Books); clean lines and neutral tones, blended with charming warmth and sumptuous opulence. Considered one of the most successful and talented designers currently in business, Kelly Hoppen MBE already gave several proofs of her creativity and passion for the design industry. In fact, she already won multiple awards for her unique taste when it comes to luxury design.

Currently enjoying the prime of her esteemed career, Kelly Hoppen MBE is also a best selling author with several books of the design published. To transmit her talent, Kelly Hoppen MBE also decided to open a design school named Kelly Hoppen Design School, where she shares her extensive knowledge helping young entrepreneurs achieve their dream.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH Kokaistudios With our original Italian background, the culture of craftsmanship is deeply bounded with our design practice. We have been committed for a long time to promote and reinvent the use of traditional techniques into a contemporary use and we will continue to explore the incredible possibilities that the tradition and the art of doing things well gave us.

Kokaistudios consists of a company first created by Italian architects Filippo Gabbiani and Andrea Destefanis in 2000, which would later evolve with the creation of a Shanghai office in 2002. This is the perfect example of a truly multicultural firm that has managed to establish a global presence with a series of projects in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.

Located on one of Shanghai’s most beautiful historical streets, in a 19th-century building that overlooks an urban oasis of traditional Chinese gardens, their office stands as a physical testament to one of Kokaistudios’ core beliefs and areas of practice.

Their mission is to create spaces and experiences that make the life of people better. Every project they do from private to public, from interiors to architecture, is always focused on creating empathy between people and the environment. They feel extremely gratified observing how people interact and establish a strong empathy with their projects. Kokaistudios believes that it doesn’t exist an architect that has achieved everything they wanted in life! For them, the spirit of adventure and the creative lymph never take rest.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH Marco Piva “Architecture, interior and product design merge in the asynchronous process to reach a unitary work, that assures continuity and fluidity of language in both stylistic and functional terms.

I feel like a “director of an orchestra “, where music “ the project “ is conceived creatively.

That’s what I love most of my job.” Marco Piva Marco Piva is currently one of the world’s top references regarding Italian design and architecture. Known for having an exciting, fluid and functional language transpire through his architectural creations, product design and interior design, his studio is a good example of a project that values differentiation and innovation in many areas of design.

Piva is a top reference regarding Italian architecture, interior design and product conceptions. He was a part of the establishment of Studiodada Associates (known for its impact as one of the most representative companies of the period of Radical Design) having thereafter moved on to open his own interior design studio during the 80s. From this time period to today, Marco Piva’s work has had an impact worldwide, proving once again that the Italian touch, when done right, is always special for an interior design project.

More than an architect or an interior designer, Marco Piva is an innovator who describes himself as being very much in love with what he does. He has a typically Italian approach to everything he touches, by giving his all in directing the many projects he has. Be it the project or the conception of the furniture and complements for many a-listers in this industry, Studio Marco Piva manages to play and fuse a series of elements in a successful Italian take.

Marco Piva is known for having a careful approach to his projects, by studying and creating innovative design solutions best described as having unique compositional sobriety and stylistic freedom to them. Of course, he always has the care to adapt to the culture of the location of the project in order to create a relationship of respect with the client. We are talking of locations such as China, United States, India, Montecarlo, United Arab Emirates, Algeria and Albania. However despite the differences of location and culture, all of Piva’s clients contact him for the same purpose: “What they expect from us is a “special touch“ some “genetic design contribution” generated by our Italian Culture, link to an idea of life Style that is exclusively Italian. Our studio develops its activities starting first from the “background” of a specific territory if we talk about Master Planning, of a specific character of the surrounding city if is an architecture, of the mean of a new product if is the case of a piece of industrial design.”

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH Masquespacio Being from different countries and different cultures, their origins in Belgium and Colombia, are highly reflected in every one of their projects and way of working. Maybe not so much in terms of style but in the Latin passion that Ana has in the projects and the Belgian methodology/ structure that Christophe is recognized for.

Together, they create unique design ideas as we have never seen before, like the new collection for Essential Home.

The Masquespacio young designers have been awarded the ‘Massimo Dutti New Values award by Architectural Digest Spain and the “Wave of the Future” award by Hospitality Design USA, next to a continued international recognition by media specialized in the design, fashion, and lifestyle trends. They have worked on projects in several countries like Norway, the USA, Germany, France and Spain. In 2020, Ana Hernández and Christophe Penasse were named ‘Young Talent of The Year’ by Elle Decoration International Magazine, while in 2019 they have been awarded ‘Interior Designers of The Year’ by the Spanish edition of The New York Times’ T Magazine.

Masquespacio is an award creative studio recognized for its unique signature style that celebrates the most colourful side of design.

Combining the 2 disciplines of its founders (interior design and marketing), the Spanish design agency creates custom-made branding and interior projects through a unique approach that results in fresh and innovative concepts. “Neither of us came from families related to interior design and product design, nor architecture, so although we developed a business plan the first years, we had a bit of finding our way, however, we were very clear that we had to offer something different to compete with the existing studios. Little by little, we began to develop our vision”, explain the designers. What started as an opportunity to creatively explore their creative side has grown into one of the most promising design studios in the world.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH Piero Lissoni Piero Lissoni has designed products & exhibition stands for many prestigious companies including Alessi, Audi, B&B Italia, Knoll International, and others. His architecture and design work is recognized worldwide and has earned him a series of international awards.

Lissoni is a very versatile professional, with his portfolio stretching across architecture, furniture, interiors and even graphic design.

According to the designer, “it’s a tradition in Milan to be versatile”.

This is also a result of his education at the Politecnico di Milano, where he was taught to take on everything.

The designer has a very simplistic approach to his career, living day by day. Always eager for the discovery of something new, Lissoni doesn’t disclose any new expectations for the future. “I never expect to do something. I’m very lucky but I also work a lot. You need to be a worker, that’s the secret. And you need a bit of luck”, he says. During his creative process, the designer prefers to be completely inside of it, meaning it is a long discussion with a team of workers that sometimes takes years to complete.

Regarding his collaboration with Knoll, they have been working together for over 15 years, so it has become some kind of “love affair”, as the designer described it. Lissoni has been in love with the company since the beginning, so it has remained a positive and thriving relationship.

“For me, it is impossible to do anything if I don’t like people. I need people, I don’t need a name or a brand. It’s all about the people.”

When it comes to the future of craftsmanship, the designer states that it will be a combination of incredible craftsmen and amazing technology, considering that’s the secret of the Italian life of design. Lissoni thinks that the fundamental thing for the designers of tomorrow is the respect of traditions and their cultures, adding that they must know their history in order to improve it.

“You need to offer a long life to your products because that’s the best way of saving resources. We need to be more responsible, purer and cleaner.”

INSIDE A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR VILLA IN MOSCOW Covet House We had the opportunity to interview the rising star designer, Francisca Ferreira, currently the head designer for the Covet House Studio. The artist has recently embraced a very ambitious and massive project for an 8.5$ Million Modern Classic Villa in St. Petersburg, and we wanted to know more not only about this project, but also a peek inside the curtains on the life of the young designer as well.

“It all starts with the entryway, A play on marbles, the high ceiling and reflective surfaces provide a wider feel to the house, next we have the heart of the house, the living room, my personal favourite. Designed with

Also, I’ve designed the kid bedroom, which was quite a challenge to create a fun yet luxury set, but ultimately ended up being a very exciting design. And finally, we have a full-on black office attire, my homage to an all-modern style décor”, said Francisca Ferreira, Covet House Studio Designer.

This secluded villa is the first of a series of luxury houses created

THE WORLD’S FINEST LUXURY RESTAURANTS Fine dining restaurants are worldwide recognized for their excellence in food, service, and ambience. The menus feature dishes that are filled with creativity and artistry of the chef, which translates into the art that is very visible on the plate. The service of these spaces is attentive but not intrusive and the incredible wine lists complement the menu in perfect harmony. Here are the restaurants we’re still dreaming about.

Each is printed with a boldface transliteration of a Korean word under an abstract design of geometric shapes and lines. They look like flashcards from a school run by progressive graphic designers.

One of the city’s most acclaimed and extravagant openings of 2018 has become even more expensive. Atomix, Ellia Park and Junghyun Park’s chef’s counter spot that earned three Eater stars, three NYT stars, a Michelin star, and a best new restaurant nod, has officially joined the two-hundred-dollar club.

BORAGÓ Santiago, Chile Zero-kilometre sourcing and indigenous ingredients set apart this Chilean showstopper.

Considered the best restaurant in Chile and the 4th best in Latin America by The 50’s Best, Boragó is at least peculiar. In front of the kitchen is chef Rodolfo Guzmán, dedicated to the use of endemic products from Chile, his authorial and avant-garde cuisine can be considered unique.

Boragó plates the full spectrum of Chile’s broad diversity, with Chef Rodolfo Guzmán hunting ingredients from the northern Atacama desert to deepest Patagonia in the south to unearth forgotten or often-ignored produce. He works directly with 200 foraging communities and small producers to bring ultra-seasonal ingredients to the table via his Endémica menu; his cooks gather from the nearby coastline and mountains most days and the menu is formed depending on what arrives at his door on the day.

The intention of the place is to reflect what the land offers, bring the best products from unusual parts of the planet, and make your dishes something priceless. In the lounge and kitchen, the chef, maitre d ‘, waiters and cooks seem to dance a ballet choreographed to exhaustion. Everything seems to work perfectly! Customers not
