Current Obsessions: Hot Spell

Happy weekend, dear reader, and hope you’re keeping cool. Speaking of cool: This week we celebrated the non-linear in our Curve Appeal issue (do you need a rounded kitchen counter? we think so). Next week we’ll be onto all things France and French design. In the meantime, here are 18 other things on our radar this weekend:

Above: Hot off the presses: The doors are now open to Vipp’s latest cool guest house in a 1350s (!) house in Lagrasse, France. (For another Vipp project—cute dog included—see A Young Couple’s 1928 Fixer-Upper.)
