The arrival of this issue coincides with London Pride, the capital’s annual celebration of LGBT+ rights and culture. If anything proves the power of positive change, it is this. Hearst – the company that publishes ELLE Decoration – will be marching in the parade on 6 July and I, along with my colleagues, will be there th ere waving banners and shouting myself hoarse. This year’s event is even more powerful, as it marks the fifty-year anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York, where violent protests erupted in the face

Stood close, holding hands, smoking a cigarette, were we doing anything depraved or offensive? No. We were just two men in love, enjoying a night out. Yet, nine people saw fit to express their anger at our difference with their fists, beating and kicking us to the kerb. I spent a month in hospital, but – thanks to an incredible team of doctors and nurses, and loving friends and family – I came through it stronger, and more determined to never let bigotry and small-minded  values triumph. I know I was one of the lucky ones. Some will say that the intro to a humble design and interiors magazine is hardly the place for politics or

of police brutality and acted as a catalyst for the modern fight for LGBT+ rights. While acceptance and tolerance have come a long way since then, there is still much to be done. Last month, two women were brutally attacked on a London bus simply because of their sexuality, and a recent report by The Guardian  newspaper outlined that homophobic and transphobic hate crimes in England and Wales have more than doubled in the past five years. These are two facts that have particular resonance for me. Two years ago this summer, I myself was attacked with my boyfriend outside a gay bar in Liverpool.

the overtly personal. I disagree. Given the chance, we should all leap onto any soapbox we can, no matter how small, and shout at the top of our voices about what matters, what means something to us and those around us. And so, hopefully without trivialising any of this, I present our latest biannual issue dedicated to transition. The pages in front of you are filled with the new, the unusual, what is to come – things some of you may find shocking, challenging even, but that, nonetheless, will become the new normal. Embrace change and diversity. Welcome difference, be inclusive, and do it all with love. Be proud. I know I am.

DESIGN  From tack tacklin ling g plastics plastics to to cur curbin bing g our consumerism, creative minds are focused on stylish ways to save sa ve the planet 

‘Underwate ‘Underwaterr Landscape’ by Arsenio Rodriguez at Rossana Orlandi Gallery 

Words  AMY BRADFORD

Over the past decade, the phrase ‘sustainable design’ has become an increasingly familiar refrain in our lives. To begin with, it just seemed like a really good idea; something we should all be supporting in whatever ways we can. But now the conversation is becoming urgent. The recently released Global Assessment   report by respected UN research body IPBES (Intergovernmental (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services), which combines the findings of nearly 15,000 international studies, reveals that time is running out to save the plants, animals and insects that support human life on Earth. Unless we change our lifestyles (and quickly), some unpleasant shocks lie ahead. This challenge was one of the main focuses at April’s Milan Design  Week. Its prominence prominence in the minds of designers served as an admission admission that the resources the industry consumes represent part of the problem. Gallerist Rossana Orlandi (left) focused the spotlight on plastics, one of the most controversial materials of all – according to the Royal Statistical Society, only around nine per cent of the plastic ever produced has been recycled. As part of her ‘Guiltless Plastic’ initiative, Orlandi showcased up-and-coming names such as German designer Alexander Schul, who repurposes polystyrene to make furniture, and Spaniard  Alvaro Catalán de Ocón, whose lighting is made from plastic bottles. British duo Barber & Osgerby also addressed the limits of recycling by launching the ‘On and On’ chair for Emeco. Unlike many plastic products, which can only be reused a few times – sometimes as little as once – the duo’s chair can be repurposed indefinitely. It’s made from rPET, a new material that combines plastic bottles with fibreglass, and whose strength means that new chairs can be made from old ones. ‘Sustainable design should go beyond materiality,’ says Edward Barber. ‘Thinking about the way products are manufactured, packaged and shipped also needs be part of the solution.’    I    S The amount of plastic in our oceans, in particular, has been making    O    I    R    U headlines of late, and, at Orlandi’s exhibition, designer Brodie Neill    F    I    N    O highlighted the issue with his ‘Capsule’ hourglass.

& Merl make marble-esque tableware from salvaged plastic – the pieces are being used in a number of zero-waste restaurants. Dutch company Plasticiet’ss recycled surfaces, meanwhile, resemble terrazzo and are crafted Plasticiet’ using all kinds of plastic, from buckets to garden furniture, while Londonbased designer Charlotte Kidger uses polyurethane dust, left over from industrial manufacture, to form her colourful composite tables. Normally the waste material would be incinerated or go to landfill. Even furniture brands such as Kartell, for whom plastic is a USP, understand the need for change. It has recently debuted a sustainable  version of its classic 1967 ‘Componibi ‘Componibili’ li’ storage storage unit, unit, made of biop bioplastic lastic derived from plant sources such as sugar beet and waste cooking oil. The only visible difference from the original is the updated colour palette – it now comes in four on-trend pastels (left). Of course, plastics aren’t the only frontier in green design. Creative use of organic materials is just as important. Thus we’re seeing designs like Bethan Gray’s new ‘Eden’ furniture collection, created with ecosurface specialist Nature Squared, which uses by-products from the food industry, including pheasant feathers and shells, in its production.  And, while many many of us have grown accustome accustomed d to buying eco-friendly eco-friendly paints, Farrow & Ball is encouraging us to choose ethical wallpaper, too. Its new metallic patterns are made with sustainably-sourced paper and water-based pigments, and are 100 per cent recyclable.  All of these initiatives form part of a concept called the circular economy, which seeks to minimise waste and ensure as much reuse as possible. It’s being applied to every aspect of life, from fast food (McDonald’s has replaced its plastic drinking straws with a recyclable paper version) to our cultural heritage (Paris architects Studio NAB proposed replacing Notre Dame’s lead and timber roof, destroyed in  April’ss fire, with a vast greenhouse  April’ greenhouse and beehives). beehives). However, However, the ci circular rcular economy won’t gain a foothold without individual sacrifice. As if to acknowledge this, Swedish tech company Doconomy’s new DO credit card – made, of course, from bio materials – tracks the carbon emissions associated with purchases, making owners aware of the impact of their consumption. They’re rewarded for ethical choices, but transactions are denied when they reach a designated carbon limit. But will all of this be enough to save the planet? There’s a swelling chorus of voices that say no. In fact, they argue, we just need to stop using problematic materials in the first place. ‘There’s so much reliance on this magic phenomenon of recycling but, frankly, I think it’s just an excuse to consume more,’ says Ross Lovegrove, whose new ‘Ergo’ collection for Natuzzi is made from sustainable woods and natural latex. ‘It’s better to consume less from the outset – organic materials make sense because of their intrinsic health benefits. In my own home, I live predominantly with beautifully crafted secondhand furniture, pieces made during times when things were more valued.’ Dutch designer Marcel Wanders takes a similar view. ‘Recycling ultimately legitimates consumption,’ he says. ‘Let’s not recycle what we can reuse.’ To make this point, Wanders’ contribution to Orlandi’s ‘Guiltless Plastics’ exhibition was a disposable PET plastic bottle (gifted to him by its designer, Ross Lovegrove), which he’d marked each time he’d used it – 200 times – and daubed with the word ‘REUSE’ in red. ‘As well as a materials problem, we have a psychological problem,’ he adds. ‘Most of the products that go to trash aren’t broken; people are just bored with them. Making things loved is a fantastic ecological step.’  We can all play ou ourr part by buying buying vintage and locally locally made made pro products, ducts, and by seeking out the growing number of stores specialising in sustainable homewares – Wearth London, Home of Juniper and Urban Collective are some of the best. ‘Buying things that last is the best and easiest thing you can do for the environment,’ environment,’ adds Tara Button, founder of eco website BuyMeOnce.com. She’s campaigning for products to be awarded a ‘longevity mark’. The notion flies in the face of global capitalism, which functions by making us constantly crave new things. Breaking that cycle is set to be design’s biggest challenge yet.

The seven lights in the ‘Earth To Sky’ collection are all self-produced. ‘I was exploring the coming together of geometry and free forms, drawing fine lines next to intuitive, sculptural shapes,’ says Levien. ‘Then, Nipa picked up a hole-punch, pierced one of the shapes and put a line through it.

Up-and-coming interior designer Hollie Bowden says her style sits somewhere between maximalist Jacques Grange and minimalist  Axel Vervoordt Vervoordt – a contrast, to say the least. ‘I like to mix things up,’ she says. ‘The juxtaposition of bare walls and big open spaces with theatrical statement pieces, complex textures and antiques is something I love. As is Vervoordt’s Japanese-inspired wabi-sabi aesthetic; I use a lot of pieces that t hat have an organic, aged a ged character.’ Her style is evident when you look at the serene villa (top right) she designed in Ibiza, and her subdued yet glamorous palette of stormy hues and marble at the headquarters of sake brand Heavensake (left). Bowden established her Shoreditch studio in 2013 (now with a team of six) and has already amassed an impressive list of projects in locations from London to the Hollywood Hills. Most are residential, but there are retail spaces in the mix, including in cluding a showroom for luxury leather goods brand Tanner Krolle. For her, it is key that every project tells a story. ‘My job is to build a world and direct a vision that suits my clients,’ she explains. ‘I believe your home informs your mood, so it’s important that you get the tone right.’

It’s almost unfathomable that China, the second largest economy in the world, with a population of 1.4 billion, is atfield. an early of development in any Andstage yet, for all the country’s economic and technological power, its product and furniture design scene was almost nonexistent until recently. ‘China had a lack of design culture and history,’ explains Sugar Lee, deputy features director and digital content director of ELLE Decoration China. ‘Just ten years ago, we were thought to have no design scene at all.’ That opinion is being quickly reversed. This change in fortunes is thanks to the government’s ‘Made in China’ initiative of 2015, which pledged to reposition the country as a design superpower by 2025. The aim was to distance itself from the reputation of being ‘the world’s factory’ and emerge instead as a high-end manufacturer of quality products. Almost £2 billion was invested to support the creative industries. Previously, the norm for young Chinese designers was to study and set up practices overseas, but thanks to this new support, creatives are returning home, bringing global influences with them. The effects of these advances can take time to trickle down, but this year it felt as though the design world’s spotlight had swivelled east. China’s rise is gathering momentum. Pioneers of this new wave are Shanghai- and London-based Neri & Hu, one of the

Canada’s Interior Design Show Toronto.  Word of China’s design revolution was

also on the lips of those at Maison Ma ison & Objet fair in Paris, where six Chinese creatives were singled out for its Rising Talent award.

‘Chinese design today is like many flowers blooming together,’ says Fan Zhe, curator of a showcase dedicated to Chinese creativity of the past, present and future at the Design

a huge demand for its individual pieces.’ ‘China has established itself as a major international player in design over the past five years, with the culture shifting towards

innovation and originality originality,’,’ says Zhuo Tan, director of Design Shanghai. A relative newcomer on the design show circuit (launched in 2014), the event has flourished; this year it will play host to over 400 brands

from 30 countries. ‘When we launched, we found only a handful of Chinese participants

who were dedicated to furniture. In 2019, we had 60 brands – it shows how quickly China is absorbing the movement. The world

is looking to us. It’s an exciting moment!’ But what of the ‘Made in China’ label that came to signify mass production and low quality? While Chinese architects were able to prosper thanks to rapid urbanisation, the design sector had remained weak. ‘There was no concept of brand, and no willingness

to pay for independent creatives,’ explains ELLE Decoration China’s Lee. Designers were often imported, or looks simply copied.

The recent boom is seeing those negative connotations turned on their heads. Now, the country’s infrastructure of incredibly efficient factories factories can be regarded as a huge

SHERRY XU, 8 HOUR 

‘Free and imaginative’ is how Sherry Xu describes the work coming out of her studio, 8 Hour, which she founded in 2016 after graduating from the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts. Her pieces are inspired by everyday life; the new ‘Clips’ seating collection ( below) references the changing shape of the paperclip, with rounded upholstered pieces held on a looping steel frame. It can be seen at

Before founding Shanghai-based Urbancraft in 2016, Li worked for designers Andrea Branzi and Luca Trazzi in Italy, and spent six years as Neri & Hu’s chief designer. Inspired by Chinese heritage and Italian icons, such as Gio Ponti and Carlo Scarpa, his brand incorporates historic references into contemporary pieces – take the ‘By 3’ storage system (above), which fuses interlocking interlocking sections of glass, terrazzo and marble. And the future is bright: ‘Italian and Nordic firms are already talking with us about collaborations,’ he says (urbancraftdesign.com).

FRANK CHOU

Growing up in Beijing and working in Europe has informed the distinct east-meets-west aesthetic of the eponymous Frank Chou Design Studio, established in 2012. Chou’s ‘Middle’ chair is a highly modern take on traditional bamboo seats, while the ‘Combo’ modular system ( below) is a reinvention of historic upholstery techniques, techniques, using wool, leather and a mixture of other fabrics. ‘As designers, we have a strong responsibility to lead, teach and fight for a better future,’ says Chou (frankchou.com).

Tsai founded his Hangzhou studio in 2014, and his minimal style, with its small, poetic details – realised in monochrome and natural materials – has brought him to the attention of Chinese and European brands alike. He’s lent his simple, rounded forms to Danish firms Ferm Living and Woud, Oslo-based Northern and Italian lighting giant Flos, as well as several Chinese companies (mariotsai.studio).

Their fluid designs can be tweaked, twisted and adjusted to form new shapes, altering the play of light and shade. One of the finest examples of this trend is ‘Interweave’, a concept by Italian brand Artemide and Dubai-based designer Pallavi Dean (above; artemide.com). The innovative lighting installation is composed of aluminium cylinders around which a malleable LED cord can be threaded. The piece touts total flexibility, with the size, number and placement of its tubes affecting the shape of the glowing line – it can even be fitted with speakers, sensors or projectors.

ENLIGHTENED THINKING

‘Flexible spaces promote a more conscious use of energy and the planet’s resources,’ argues Artemide chief executive Carlotta de Bevilacqua, highlighting the potential eco appeal of designs that can adapt to the needs of different rooms and moods, therefore reducing the desire to buy new pieces. ‘Designing lighting is more and more about creating an experience,’ adds de Bevilacqua. By offering reinvention post-installation post-installation (all without ever touching a toolkit or needing to call in an electrician), each clever piece can endlessly renew itself. Of course, the ‘Interweave’ isn’t the only chameleon of the lighting world – see below for our full edit.

Born into an aristocratic family, she studied fine art and architecture – the latter a highly unconventional choice for a woman in midcentury Italy, especially one of her class. She then began making one-off objets for friends using precious woods and metals. Dior spotted them and snapped them up for its Paris boutique. A forerunner of today’s artisan-designers, Crespi showed great prescience in matters of taste. Her apartment in Rome contrasted ancient frescoes with her angular brass furniture – startling at the time, the combination would now be the last word in chic. Retiring

Stockholm’s National Museum has doubled its visitor numbers since reopening its doors last year. Proof, if it were needed, that the historic art and design destination’s £104 million renovation has been a roaring success. Swedish architecture practice Wingårds and restoration specialist Erik Wikerstãl led the project – a collaboration, they say, that ‘turned out better than anyone could have imagined’. Striking a balance between preserving and modernising, the space honours architect Friedrich August Stüler’s original design while simultaneously becoming one of the t he world’s most technologically advanced museums – think state-ofthe-art climate control and acoustic-attenuating stucco surfaces.  As well as revolutionising the building, the work has also changed the way the collections are presented. Exhibition space has been increased (there are three times more artefacts on MODERN ARTEFACTS    N    I    L    U    A    I    P    /    S    R    H    E    O    N    U    R    B    /    M    U    E    S    U    M    L    A    N    O    I    T    A    N   :    S    E    R    U    T    C    I    P    E    R    O    M    X    E    L    A   :    S    D    R    O    W

To complete the modernisation, more than 30 designers and 20 brands collaborated on pieces to complete the restaurant’s new look – almost all are available to buy. TAF Studio designed the ‘A ‘Atelier’ telier’ chair for Artek (above left), Örsjö Belysning and The Glass Factory made lights, Chris Martin and Mass Productions created the ‘Draft’ tables, and the covetable tableware is courtesy of Carina Seth Andersson and Design House Stockholm.

Technology is disappearing before our eyes: streaming apps have replaced DVD players, wi-fi has banished cables and AI  voice assistants have started to kill off buttons and screens. Enter the age of invisible technology, hidden in homes and everyday objects. Sonos has already tapped into this trend, teaming up with audio brand Sonance on a collection of ‘Architectural’ speakers – discreet panels that can be cleverly concealed in walls and ceilings. Amazon’s ‘Echoand Walldoubles Clock’ looks innocently analogue, but syncs with Alexa as an LED timer, while architecture firm Foster + Partners has  joined forces with LG Signature on the world’s first rolling ‘OLED TVR’ screen, which emerges seamlessly from a fixed base. Ikea, meanwhile, has camouflaged its ‘Symfonisk’ hybrid speakers as a lamp and a floating bookshelf. Panasonic’ss approach is yet more striking. It has teamed up Panasonic’ with Swiss design brand Vitra to unveil the ‘Vitrine’ (below; panasonic.com/uk), a transparent OLED television concept that resembles a pane of glass in a handcrafted wooden frame. The result of two years of research, the screen transforms from a clear display to a first-class TV at the flick of a switch, with all of the electrical components and wires hidden within its thin frame. It seems the omnipresent black rectangles that have dominated homes for years are set to become a thing of the past.  With digital detoxes now on the rise, less invasive technology – artfully designed to fade away to when want some peace and privacy – is a welcome addition ourwe lives, and living spaces.

Lui gi Bestetti Founded inPozzoli, Milan inLiving 1969 by husband-and-wife team Luigi and Renata Divani credits ‘a fixation on contemporary design and a touch of luck’ for its success. It was at just 26 years old that Bestetti decided to strike out from his family’s family ’s traditional furniture company and forge the modern brand we know today. Still honouring the principles that it established 50 years ago – elegant silhouettes and a considered colour palette – it’s now  just as celebrated for its creative collaborations and the ageless outlook that’s allowed it to traverse half a century with ease. Bringing Italian design maestro Piero Lissoni on board in 1989 – a partnership that’s celebrating its own anniversary of 30 years – was a pivotal moment, solidifying Living Divani’s unique style. ‘I’ve seen the company completely transform,’ says the designer,, who, upon joining the brand, set about overhauling its designer factory in Como, which opened in 1974, updating its materials and reimagining its visual identity. He also created some of the most iconic Living Divani pieces, such as 1995’s ‘Frog’ ‘Frog’ chair (above and left), now considered a forerunner to2000, the subsequent vogue for low seating, and the ‘Wall’ ‘ Wall’ sofa (left) of which was the brand’s first design without legs. ‘I pushed them to be more contemporary and, luckily, they believed in me and my crazy ideas,’ he says. Collaboration has been a mainstay of the firm’s identity, thanks in no small part to the vision of the founders’ daughter, Carola Bestetti, who joined the firm in 2004. The roll call of those who have contributed to the portfolio is a who’s who’s who of the design scene – Arik Levy, Claesson Koivisto Rune, Giopato & Coombes, Nathan Yong,  Victorr Vasilev Vasilev,, Shiro Kurama Kuramata, ta, Junya Junya Ishigam Ishigamii and Lanzave Lanzavecchia cchia    I  Victo    S    S    O + Wai, to name but a few.

 Forget d  Forget dull, ull, f lat w walls alls – desi designers gners are b bringin ringing g ever more inventive and original texture to homes (and it’s not just for the bathroom and kitchen!)

 We first admired the renaissance of 3D tiles last year at the opening of Harrod’ss revamped Fresh Market Hall, where Cristina Celestino’s ‘Plumage’ Harrod’ design by Botteganove added glamorous texture. Since then, we’ve been treated to a growing number of innovative options, with the trend really making its mark during this year’s Milan Design Week at the ‘Perfect Darkness’ installation. Created Creat ed by H+O (a collaboration between Josephine  Akvama Hoffmeyer Hoffmeyer of Danish studio studio File Under Pop Pop and Italian designer Elisa Ossino), the display showcased the possibilities available with tiles, presenting them as an exciting alternative to paint and wallpaper wallpaper..  When it comes to stretching stretching the boundaries boundaries of this type of surface, surface, few have done more than Finnish designer Jonas Lutz. For his surrealist ‘Guts’ tiles, he had to develop a new technique to create all of their bodily lumps and bumps. Lutz carved the shapes directly into plaster, then filled the cavity with liquid clay to make 20 different patterned moulds that all fit

together to form a seamless pattern. ‘The name comes from the texture, but also from the name of the tool I used, which in Dutch is called a guts a  guts,’,’ he says. ‘It creates the feeling that you are inside the belly of a giant being.’ Of course, the avant-garde Italians are also spearheading this architectural tile revival. Venice-based Zaven has designed the vividly coloured ‘Rilievi’ range, inspired by the work of artist and activist Nino Caruso during the 1960s and 70s, while Marazzi has launched the ‘Eclettica’ collection, with its tasteful wave and diamond shapes. Whatever your style, from geometric to gutsy, there’s a design that will give your walls a new dimension.

No mere needleworker, May, a fervent socialist, also designed pieces of jewellery, was painted by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and elevated embroidery to an art form. As she once told

MAY’S LOOSE, ORGANIC DESIGNS WERE MAY’S ENTIRELY ENTIREL Y AHEAD OF THEIR TIME, A CONTRAST TO THE REPEAT PATTERNS OF THE DAY  playwright George Bernard Shaw (with whom she was romantically involved): ‘I’m a remarkable woman – always was, though none of you seemed to think so.’ Style Library, custodian of the Morris & Co archive, does think so, however, and its ‘Mesletter’ range of seven embroideries, seven prints and ten wallpapers does much to restore May’s reputation. A reworking and updating of her designs to suit the contemporary home, it has the stylised flowers and birds characteristic of Arts & Crafts style, but with the detailed richness of embroidery, and a modern colour palette. May learnt her craft from her mother and aunt, revealing a talent that led to her overseeing embroidery embroide ry at Morris & Co aged  just 23. Her loose, organic designs were entirely ahead of their time, and offered a contrast to the repeat patterns of the day. The ‘Mesletter’ collection, named after the house in Orkney that housed her hangings, is a fitting tribute to May and to the other talented female needleworkers who stitched alongside her. Some designs are faithful copies of the original documents from the archive, others are interpretations and some are entirely new but reference her style.  Accordi  Acco rding ng to Rebecca RebeccaCraig, Craig,head head o off design design at Morris & Co, the new collection is a true celebration of ‘May’s commitment to her own creative vision and to her father’s ideals’.

Carpet-clad walls, like tasselled three-piece suites and cork tiles, were trends we thought we’d left behind, along with power cuts and strikes, in the sepia-tinted past. But style is cyclical and, as we reported in our February issue, we’re in the midst of a 1970s-inspired interiors boom. We’ve seen the return of cork and fringing, and now carpet is rolling back into every corner of our homes.  At th is year ye ar ’s Mila Mi la n De si sign gn Wee Week, k, th e decorative possibilities possibilities of carpet were on full display. For Studiopepe’s ‘Les Arcanistes’ installation, jewel-coloured examples covered the floors and crept up the walls, while Cristina Celestino’s ‘Planetario’ apartment (right) was a dreamlike paradise inspired by influential designers from the 1960s and 70s, particularly those with a penchant for fitted carpet – think Joe Colombo, Nanda Vigo and Willy Rizzo. Created in association with Italian flooring brand Besana Carpet Lab, the fantastical apartment showcased the new ‘Nebula’ design by Celestino, notable for its enhanced colours and subtle, 1970s-style iridescent effect. ‘In uncertain times, we often look to the more familiar and to textures which offer comfort, sanctuary or a sense of belonging,’ says Lorna Haigh, director of creative and marketing at rug and carpet brand Alternative Flooring. ‘There is something about the feel of soft carpet underfoot which is reassuring,’ she adds. And, with cutting-edge creatives like Celestino showing how it can be used in kitchens and bathrooms, as well as across ceilings (see following pages), there’s even more opportunity to enjoy its comforting, cocooning benefits (cristinacelestino.com;besanamoquette.com). Living room Carpet covers even the furnishings furnish ings here, with a design by Besana Carpet Lab ty ing the sofa into the look. Celestino has arranged three colours of carpet and her ‘Nebula’ pattern to accentuate the curvaceous seating. The fabric on the sofa is by Rubelli

‘

nspiration for most of the patterns in this house came from the gardens,’ says landscape architect Cristiana Ruspa of her Turin home, located close to the River Po in the city’s Precollina district. district. It is this element of the natural, perhaps, that brings a sense of calm to what could be a very daring combination of prints – the striking and the subdued in perfect harmony. Indeed, Cristiana’s flair for layering colour and texture, gained while creating green spaces for clients with her firm Giardino Segreto (or Secret Garden), can be seen throughout the home she renovated for herself and her children – Filippo, Sofia and Letizia. Things were not always so serene in this 1930s property, though. ‘When we moved in, the house was full of dark wood and lacked natural light,’ she recalls. ‘I used a lot of white for the interior so that I could retain the period features, while making it a much more inviting place to be.’ Now, her four-bedroom home’s clean, bright scheme is the perfect foil for her expertly implemented mix of wallpapers and fabrics. Shades of green – ranging from pale and muted to vibrant and jewellike – combine with corals and soft pinks throughout the interior, while repeating floral patterns sit harmoniously alongside wide-set stripes. The overall effect manages to feel fresh and current, while also conveying an air of nostalgia that conjures up the old-world charm of 1930s summerhouses and garden rooms. Carefully selected furniture pieces from many different eras contribute to the modern-vintage aesthetic, curated by Cristiana in a bid to reflect the history of the building. ‘Why buy a period house only to destroy all the elements that give it character?’ she muses. ‘I needed to update the place to suit my  giardinosegreto.com eto.com taste and needs, but I wanted to retain its soul.’  giardinosegr

THE TREND French interior designer Charlotte Macaux Perelman, the mastermind behind the inviting look of this Parisian home, believes that the current affection for blonde timber is down to much more than just a continued obsession with Scandinavian design.  As she points out, there are ecological concerns that have led to this growing trend. ‘Darker woods, such as wenge and mahogany, mahogany, have become much rarer in recent years, therefore it would be unethical to use them in large quantities today.’ today.’ When it comes to sustainable timber, the best choices are fast-

growing soft woods, such as pine, or oak from European forests where harvesting is monitored. THE HOME

‘There’s a soul to every home, something to preserve,’ says Charlotte, whose approach to design is always to respect the history of a space. There is, however, an exception to every rule, and what interested her about this 230-square-metre apartment, which overlooks Paris’s Paris’s Parc Monceau, was precisely the fact that there was nothing to salvage. The former owner had lived here for 42 years and redecorated rooms at different times, each in the tastes and fashions of the specific period. ‘It was all over the place stylistically’, Charlotte recalls. The project represents the most extensive demolition job the interior designer, who divides her time between her own studio and her role as co-creative director of Hermès Maison, has ever undertaken. ‘Nothing was left in place’, she says. Or rather, almost nothing. During the renovation, a ceiling with majestic mouldings – hidden for decades behind simple plaster panels – was revealed in the living room. Although it was painted brown and covered with dirt, Charlotte decided to celebrate this one original feature by modifying her initial plans. Instead of configuring several smaller reception rooms, she created one large open-plan living space, tailored to accentuate the ceiling’s ceiling ’s dimensions. The apartment’s décor is typical of Charlotte’s style. She favours a rigorous architectural approach, with white walls, clean lines and natural materials – particularly wood and marble. The pale oak used for the flooring throughout was also used for the cabinetry, with Charlotte choosing to leave the timber untreated. ‘I wanted to preserve its natural honey tone’, she explains. Both of the apartment’s owners are art lovers (he is the grandson of an antique dealer; she formerly worked in the legal department of a well-known art foundation) and, for Charlotte, their collection brings a dose of fantasy

For Milanese interior designer Sophie Wannenes, the biggest pitfall to avoid when decorating is ‘using two very similar colours together’. This aversion to safe, expected shades should come as no surprise to anyone who has entered e ntered her gallery, PalermoUno, which she set up in her own apartment in the city’s stylish Brera district. ‘You make better colour choices if you know it’s okay to change your mind,’ says Sophie, whose own decisions demonstrate the current trend for clashing home hues. Her approach may be bold, confident and ahead of the curve, but it’s practical, too. ‘Choose the main entrance colour and start from there,’ she advises. ‘Make it neutral, so, for example, I picked a brick-like shade as it fits with most other tones. From From there, you can select other colours you like, like , holding them next to it to see if they ’re suited.’  Work on the gallery – where everything from the th e light fittings to the wall paint is for sale – began in September last year, and it opened in November. ‘Let’s just say I had to do everything pretty fast,’ says Sophie. The two-bed, two-living room, secondfloor apartment is classically Milanese, with high ceilings and parquet flooring. It’s a stylish canvas that’s given Sophie the space to be experimental. ‘I am never insecure when decorating,’ she says. ‘I trust my taste and follow my instincts.’ This confidence shows – Sophie has created an elegant space that packs a visual punch. ‘The colours are exaggerated because becau se we want to impress,’ she says. ‘But I always like to be daring.’  A large part of Sophie’s motivation motivat ion for establishing PalermoUno was to create a community as well as a place to display the work of designers she likes. The plan is to rearrange the gallery twice a year, with a special showcase for the annual design pilgrimage, the Salone del Mobile. ‘It’s about putting together many different creatives – some known and some unknown, un known, but all very talen talented,’ ted,’ she says. It’s a very personal project, but one that, luckily, has a wider appeal. ‘I noticed I had an eye for choosing objects and I love the idea that other people appreciate my selection.’ palermouno.it

his mews house in the central London neighbourhood of Bayswater is home to architect Cooky Monseignat, her husband Nicholas and children, Theo, four, and Cat, eight months. The family moved here in 2017 after a two-year renovation process that saw them transform the traditional 170-square-metre home into a modern, monochrome space that channels the couple’s interest in art, taking inspiration from contemporary galleries. ‘My elder sister is a photographer and my younger sister a sculptor, so I’ve spent a lot of time in galleries,’ says Cooky. ‘They give me a sense of peace, with their minimalist white spaces. I wanted to partially recreate that at home.’ You enter the three-floor house via a small cloakroom framed by a ceiling-hung curtain, inspired by French brasseries that protect entrances with heavy drapes as a buffer against the cold air. This leads into the open-plan living and dining room, where a full-height, freestanding bookshelf defines zones. Through an arched opening – which mirrors the shapethe of the large front windows – is an ebony-coloured kitchen and, to the right, a glazed extension that contains a home office. The children’s bedroom and playroom, as well as a guest bedroom and bathroom, are in the basement, with the main bedroom, bathroom and walk-in closet upstairs. Black and white is a classic, timeless colour combination, but it can sometimes feel a little starchy and cold. To avoid this, Cooky’s opted for a sophisticated tonal palette, utilising shades ranging from steel to charcoal to add depth and warmth. Dark-stained oak flooring and black joinery contrast with the pale grey sofa, slate-coloured curtains and white walls. There are plenty of on-trend geometric details, too, such as the chevron flooring, the gridded simplicity of the pattern on the dining table and the tiling in the bathroom.  As in the galleries Cooky was inspired by, her he r home’s pared-back scheme allows the couple’s colourful art collection to shine. And there are some powerful paintings in this home, including the nude by Robert Stanley that hangs above the fireplace. The considered tranquillity of the interior extends outside, too. The house is at the end of the mews, so there is no through traffic, and Cooky has created create d

THE TREND  When it comes to homes, luxury is no longer defined purely in terms of sleek materials and architectural lines. In fact, high-end style is waking up to the calming influence

of nature – from the irregular grain of timber to the sensual forms of furniture by the likes of Faye Toogood, Christophe Delcourt and Rick Owens. It’s a marriage of the best elements of ultra-modern design with softer touches.

Comfort and colour are in plentiful supply in this two-bedroom apartment located in a 1950s property in Paris’s tranquil Les Invalides neighbourhood. Designed for a young French couple who both work in the fashion industry, and their young daughter, the home is the perfect example of Nice-born interior designer Pierre Yovanovitch’s eclectic approach. He is known for blending architectural elements with artisan-produced bespoke furniture, 20th-century design collectables and contemporary art. a rt. On paper, this could so sound und dry, but in reality his lively and inviting spaces are full of texture, materiality and cheerfulness – imparted by his own expressive designs. It’s hard not to feel affection for someone who christens their furniture and lights with names such as ‘Papa Bear’, ‘Oops’ and ‘ET’. A pioneer of the ccurvaceous urvaceous and generous forms trending right now – the ‘Papa Bear’, for instance, designed in 2012, is a huggable teddy of a chair with plush ears – Yovanovitch honed his talents in residential projects after segueing from fashion (he was formerly a menswear designer at Pierre Cardin). ‘I want my designs to bring character to any space,’ he says. ‘I try to insufflate poetry into my work, so there is an element of playfulness in most of my pieces. This is what gives life to an interior.’ In this home, Yovanovitch has generated that energy by creating a fluid, open-plan atmosphere while maintaining distinct rooms. It is an approach that is ideal for relaxed family living. At the heart of this layout is the living

room, dominated by a capacious solid-oak sofa upholstered in Jouffre linen. ‘It required exceptionally skilled craftspeople to realise the piece’s complex shape,’ he says of the custom-designed piece. ‘I wanted to create a welcoming feel, and this sofa, with its curved shape, lends itself to conversation.’ The calming neutrals and natural textures of the living area are enlivened by the punchy dark teal and rust orange orang e of Yovanovitch’s Yovanovitch’s reassuringly chunky and enveloping ‘Asymétrie’ ‘Asymétrie’ armchairs. By extending this colour co combination mbination throughout the rest of the apartment – the two t wo shades are most notable in the kitchen, where they add a vivacious warmth – he creates a harmonious flow, not to mention a home full of verve and personality.  pierreyovanovi  pierreyovanovitch.com tch.com

P

lanting a fig tree in the t he centre of their cottage felt the most natural way for South African-born couple Natalie and Keiron Devlin to bring softness to the space’s industrial style. The home, in the Sydney suburb ofthe Annandale, severe, with it s exposed its brickstairwell walls andtowards concretea floors, were it not for brancheswould of thelook treequite that reach up through the central retractable glass roof. ‘From community community gatherings to school lessons, somehow everything happens under a tree in South Africa, and we wanted our home to nod to that in a subtle way,’ explains Natalie of the statement greenery that sets the tone for this very contemporary take on urban chic. The original property, which the couple bought in 2010, came with several add-ons, but still felt too cramped for family life with their two children – Indigo, now 13, and Guinness, ten. Working with architects Welsh + Major, and later Arent & Pyke interior design studio, they knocked down the outer buildings and started from scratch, constructing a new section that now houses the galley kitchen and living area, as well as a third bedroom. ‘The brief to our architect was to create rough and mutable spaces that can perform a number of functions,’ recalls Natalie. ‘When it was built, our home was beautiful but very stark. It needed warming up in a way that didn’t detract from its rawness.’ To loosen up the house’s structure, Arent & Pyke used globally inspired artisan textiles. ‘Nothing too flouncy or frou-frou, though,’ says the interior design firm’s co-founder Juliette Arent. ‘We layered slubby, raw linens that offer softness while still being in keeping with the architecture.’ To this she added ambient lighting, handmade ceramics and artworks chosen organically over time. Colour has been used to inject personality, but the tones are muted – ‘olive, khaki and chartreuse, all hues that work beautifully with grey concrete,’ Juliette. The result is a grown-up refresh of the bohemian look. ‘There was something so mething about theadds space that demanded texture,’ continues Natalie. ‘For me, our cottage manages to be interesting in a calm, relaxed way.’ welshmajor.com; arentpyke.com

UNDERWATER DINING s Europe’s first sub-aquatic restaurant, Norway’s Under takes fine cuisine to exciting depths Half submerged in the wind-whipped waters of the North Sea, just off the rugged coast of Lindesnes on Norway’s southernmost tip, Under looks like the world’s most modern shipwreck. The region’s rocky landscape proves a striking yet unforgiving home for Oslo-based architecture firm Snøhetta’s ambitious project for local hoteliers Stig and Gaute Ubostad. ‘It was important that the structure be integrated in a respectful way – we wanted it to look like it’s diving into the water,’ says Snøhetta’s Rune Grasdal. ‘During submersion, the structure floated on its own before being moved to its final position – that was the riskiest phase.’

‘UNDER PROVIDES A JOURNEY INTO THE UNKNOWN. GUESTS  WILL BE GI GIVEN VEN A UNIQ UNIQUE UE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE  A SUBMERGE SUBMERGED D UNI UNIVERSE VERSE’’ Doubling as a marine research centre out of dining hours, Under’s colossal half-metre-thick curved concrete hull is bolted into the bedrock five metres below water level, in an area where the storms of the North Sea converge, bringing with them incredibly abundant biodiversity. Designed to slowly integrate with the wildlife, the structure’s rough exterior functions as an artificial reef for kelp and limpets, as well as playing host to the many cameras and other measurement tools that will document life underwater. Inside, an imposing Norwegian oak staircase leads down to a welcoming, cave-like interior, dominated by a vast floor-to-ceiling window. The textile-clad ceiling deepens from sunset pink to a rich cerulean blue as you descend. ‘Under provides a journey into the unknown. Guests will be given a unique opportunity to experience a submerged

universe,’ says Grasdal. The seafood dishes are served on ceramics crafted from local sand and the 40-seat dining room sits under a constellation of hundreds of LED lights that, when adjusted, illuminate the conditions outside. In Norwegian, ‘under’ means both ‘below’ and ‘wonder’ – a fitting name for this architectural achievement (under.no (under.no). ).

JEWEL CHANGI A  AIR IRPO POR RT   A departure departure loung loungee like like no other other,, Singapor Singapore’s e’s new sanctuary sanctuary is a triumph triumph for aviati aviation on and and architectur architecturee Once the epitome of bland, functional style, airports are getting a fresh look as a new wave of pioneering design elevates layovers with statement landscaping – and it’s transforming the travel experience. Leading the way is the ambitious complex at Singapore’s Jewel Changi Airport, an innovative design by Israeli-Canadian architect Moshe Moshe Safdie. In a bid to create a ‘paradise garden’ that  visitors would come ba back ck to ag ain and again, Safdie crafted the ‘Forest Valley’. This huge indoor garden, complete with the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, sits at the heart of the airport’s newest terminal – a distinctive glass dome, criss-crossed with steel supports that took five years and almost £1 billion to build. ‘The Jewel complex juxtaposes nature with a vibrant marketplace, dramatically extending the concept of it as an urban centre,’ says Safdie. Nature is introduced with some 900 trees and 60,000 shrubs. Two walking trails climb up through five levels of palm-dotted greenery to the Canopy Bridge, a dramatic glass-bottomed gla ss-bottomed platform suspended 23 metres above the terminal. And at the centre of this spectacular indoor forest is the airport’s showstopper, the ‘Rain  Vortex’.  Vor tex’. The 40-metre waterfall funnels natural rainwater down into the airport lounge’s irrigation system.  Adding another dimension to Safdie’s inventive take on what what an airport can offer is the capacity for play at Jewel, where, alongside airy terrace restaurants and refreshed retail spaces, you’ll find the Discovery Slides – toted as Singapore’ Singapore’ss first large-scale interactive sculpture – a hedge maze and a mirror room. ‘The world-class

shopping and dining, seamlessly integrated with lush foliage, fulfils the needs of increasingly discerning travellers for a meaningful,    Y    E    L    L experiential journey,’ says CEO Hung Jean, pointing to a new era    O    T    A for airport design. Considering Singapore’s Singapore’s nickname as ‘the City    C   :    S    D in the Garden’, there seems no better introduction to the country    R    O    Wthan this verdant sanctuary ( jewelchangiairport.com). jewelchangiairport.com).

THE

STANDARD 

 For fans of Brutali Brutalist st architec architecture ture and playful interiors, there’s no better place to stay in London Located directly opposite St Pancras railway station, this is the US-based Standard hotel group’s first international outpost and the most exciting opening in London’s ever-

evolving Kings Cross Quarter. The Brutalist property it occupies, formerly an office block and public library, has been heightened by a new glass extension, which will host

a restaurant and club accessed via a bubblelikeexternal elevator. Thebuilding’s building ’sconcrete façade was a major plus for the team te am behind the project, who wanted to, in the words

of the group’s chief executive Amar Lalvani, ‘preserve and enhance its beauty’. Tasked with creating its 266 rooms and public areas, American interior designer Shawn Hausman was equally enthused by the venue’s history. ‘There’s a lot of reference to the 1960s and 70s in The Standard’s hotels, but this was one of the first times we’ve actually had a property from that period.

‘THERE’S A REAL LIGHTNESS AND SENSE OF HUMOUR TO THE STANDARD. IT DOESN’T TAKE ITSELF TOO SERIOUSLY’ The architecture plays an important part in the rooms and their identities.’ There’s a mix of design references in the interior, with 1970s-style grooved fir and walnut panelling sitting alongside bold, modern terrazzo – Lubna Chowdhary’s

ceramic wall tiles in the reception (top right) are a highlight. Facing the gothic red bricks of St Pancras, visual tributes to London’s transport system feel right at home, from Mondrian-esque blocks of pillar-box red and royal blue to subway tiles and linear motifs reminiscent of patterns seen on the Underground. ‘There’s a real lightness and a sense of humour to The Standard,’ says

Hausman. ‘It doesn’t take itself too seriously

– playfulness is important.’ The designer also finds charm and inspiration in Kings    Y    E    L    L Cross’s somewhat chequered past. ‘The    O    T    A    C   :    S    D    R    O    W

potential naughtiness naughtiness that the area was once known for is something we’ve fully embraced.’ (from £305; standardhotels.com).

EMPORIO  AR  A R MA NI

CAFFÈ &  RIS  R ISTO TOR R A NTE  Secure your table table at at Mila Milan’ n’ss newly newly updated and hotly anticipated eatery, overseen by Giorgio Armani himself  Long-time haunt of the Italian fashion set, Milan’s Emporio Armani Caffè & Ristorante in the Quadrilatero district has a new look. Its soft, iridescent tones, metallic finishes and clean lines are very much in keeping with the brand’s spirit. ‘I was inspired by elements from the 1930s, the period the building dates back to,’ explains Giorgio Armani, who has been closely involved with the historic histo ric venue’s refurbishment. ‘The layout and colour scheme create an elegant and contemporary look. I wanted it to be b e a welcoming space,’ he adds. The café, which sits together with Armani’s flagship store and hotel, gets an additional touch of glamour with large, dark terrazzo tiles – a modern nod to traditional Venetian flooring – and gleaming brass trims. In this luxurious setting, customers can devour sweet treats made by the in-house pastry chef and ‘Armani/Dolci’ ‘Arm ani/Dolci’delicaciesby famedchocolatier Guido Gobino, all while relaxing on armchairs and banquettes upholstered in lustrous blue, green and red Rubelli fabrics. Come evening, brunch and lunch are exchanged for aperitifs – often accompanied by live DJ sets.

The 300-acre estate, now named The Newt, was already attractive to the green fingered: once the home of garden writer Penelope Hobhouse, it was then tended by Sandra and Nori Pope, renowned for their colourful planting. Now under the ownership of Koos Bekker and Karen Roos, the duo behind famously chic farm, hotel and restaurant Babylonstoren, near Cape Town, the venue has been stylishly transformed. similarly si milarly to the South African mothership, where the eight-acre kitchen garden inspires the entire offering, The Newt’s gardens and apple orchards have been placed at the heart of the project. Their seasonal produce informs the look of the hotel, located within the honey-hued walls of the Grade II-listed Georgian manor house, as well as the restaurant’s menu. An apple-tree maze occupies the ‘Parabola’, the

curved garden, plus there’s cider making and a museum to explore.walled With historically-inspired formal gardens, not to mention a spa, pool and shops stocked with local delights, delight s, from West Country cheese and meats to ceramics, candles and prints by Somerset-based artists, The Newt promises to be a destination like no other. Gardens open 10am–6pm, £15 (thenewtinsomerset.com).

‘MARGATE IS GOING THROUGH  AN AMAZING TRANSFORMATION, LED BY A GROWING  ART COMMUNITY’

Margate’s evolution from tired seaside bolthole to lively home of the arts is fres freshly hly buoyed by its latest cultural landmark: the newly relocated Carl Freedman Gallery, Gallery, which opened in Shoreditch in 2003. ‘Margate is going through an amazing transformation, led by a growing art community,’ explains Freedman, the gallery’s founder. ‘The new home is a fantastic opportunity for us to present larger-scale solo exhibitions by our artists as well as more expansive curated shows.’ Set back from the bustle of the seafront, behind the Old Town, the cavernous gallery – part of what was once the headquarters of Thanet Press – houses three exhibition spaces, an apartment and a huge, 929-square-metre upper floor dedicated to Freedman’s printing business, Counter Editions. Offering high ceilings and

copious space uninterrupted by columns, the former commercial site looks set to be a coveted address for creatives, with Tracey Emin’s new studio currently under construction next door. The Carl Freedman Gallery’s inaugural exhibition, ‘Man in the mouth of a cave’ (until 25 August), is a solo show celebrating expressive new works from painter, poet and fixture of the Kent arts scene Billy Childish. It’s a wonderfully local start for a venue that promises to celebrate the very best of contemporary British and international talent (carlfreedman.com).

The movement’s roots can be traced to the beginnings of biodynamic agriculture, an approach developed in 1924 by Austrian scientist and philosopher Rudolf Steiner – although it can be argued that many farmers around the world had followed similar practices before that. Like organic farming, biodynamic growing strictly

top restaurants and cooks, including Nigel Slater and the Hemsley sisters. Acclaimed chef Skye Gyngell was an early advocate, sourcing ingredients for her London restaurant Spring from Fern Verrow, a biodynamic farm in Herefordshire run by grower Jane Scotter. Gyngell is also at the helm of the kitchens at Heckfield Place in Hampshire, which is currently in the process of converting its gardens and on-site farm to biodynamics. Aiming to be fully certified

It adheres to a horticultural calendar, used to indicate optimal sowing, pruning and harvesting times. Not only does this approach benefit our ecosystem, but the quality q uality of the produce it yields is so good, it’s sought after by the country’s country ’s

next year, Heckfield will be the first biodynamic hotel in the UK. For its contemporary European dishes (above), Peckham-based restaurant Levan teams up with allotment growers who use biodynamic principles on a small scale. ‘The plots are so local that the tomatoes can still be warm from the sun when they arrive,’ enthuses chef Nicholas Balfe. With around 5,000 biodynamic farms worldwide, you can expect to see it on a menu near you soon.

‘FLORAL PRINT’ WALLPAPER BY GUCCI 

Launched in 2017, Gucci Décor’s aim was to extend the romanticism the fashion house was famous for into people’s homes.  And, with its new ‘Floral ‘Flo ral Print’ wallpaper, it continues contin ues to fulfil that purpose. Designed by French firm Antoinette Poiss Poisson on – titled in honour of Louis XV’s mistress and patroness of the decorative arts Madame de Pompadour (the label takes her middle and maiden names) – the pattern is pure luxurious whimsy, with Gucci’s iconic logo hidden amid its bugs and blowsy blooms. ‘Floral Print’ wallpaper, £315 per roll, Gucci Décor (gucci.com)
