On our radar this spring weekend: a new gardening show, a hotel on the Aegean coast, and 10 utilitarian-luxe finds we love.

Aurore Baulier earned her architecture degree in Brittany and her masters in sustainable architecture in Gothenburg, Sweden. Back in her native France, she was a member of Louis Vuitton’s in-house architecture firm when Barber & Osgerby lured her to their Universal Design Studio in London. It proved

Welcome to The Editors’ Cut, our monthly column dedicated to beautiful and useful finds for all over the house. In this installment: We’re firm believers that an artfully crafted tool can make even the most humdrum daily task a tiny bit special. A well-made brush, a pretty clothes hanger, matches in

Every year at the start of spring, I bring out all of my favorite tableware to celebrate the Persian New Year. This holiday, called Nowruz, dates back over 3,000 years to ancient Persia and originates from Zoroastrianism, one of the world’s oldest religions, rooted in a reverence for nature and its

We are loving the anti-kitchen kitchen trend we’ve been noticing of late. Instead of installing monolith walls of built-in cabinets and big shiny appliances, some designers are choosing to treat the room more like a living or family room and selecting finishes and furniture-like units to match. A wh

On a hillside in Sant’Agata Feltria, in rural Italy, the ancient hamlet of Scavolo has been brought back into use. Once a papal property, later a military fortress, a ducal residence, and a family home, it was restored by Matteo Carraturo and Ambra Felten and launched in 2021 as Scavolo Borgo—an ens

Is enameled lava stone a new trend to watch? “It’s very, very resistant and you can do whatever color you want,” star designer Dorothée Meilichzon told our contributer Morgan, referring to her material of choice for the bathrooms at Cowley Manor Experimental in the Cotswolds. “We’ve carved it to cre

File this under If You Can’t Find What You’re Looking For, Create It. Lately we’ve noticed designers, artists, and even jewelers making their own collections of knobs, drawer pulls, and handles that are anything but an afterthought—they’re a statement. Have a look: MG&Co. Above: Who wouldn’t be char

In the Village d’Auteuil in Paris’s 16th arrondissement, designer Francesco Balzano of After Bach has reworked a 775-square-foot Haussmann apartment as his own home and studio. Located near Villa Montmorency and the Fondation Le Corbusier, the apartment sits in one of Paris’s quieter residential nei

I’m not sure when the idea germinated. If pressed, which I am because I’ve been asked to write this story and have a deadline, I’d probably say it was sometime during the pandemic. I was on-site at a construction meeting in Brooklyn the day they announced New York City had hit 20,000 daily Covid cas

Ahead this weekend: springy green tableware, design lessons from the Oscars, eggshell art, and more. Read on: Above: A master class in color: see The Forever House: A Fad-Free Home that ‘Holds Real Life Comfortably and Beautifully’. “I like this algae-green collection,” writes Margot (we do, too).

On Sankt Peders Stræde, a narrow street in Copenhagen long known for its bakeries and small restaurants, photographer Michael Falgren created Noura Residency, a hybrid space that moves between apartment, studio, and creative venue. The project occupies two adjoining properties, transformed into adap

When Italian designers Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin—the duo behind Formafantasma—returned to Italy in 2022 after more than a decade in the Netherlands, they set about renovating not one but two kitchens in Milan. The couple, who founded the studio in 2009 after meeting at the Design Academy

We have seen the future and it’s looking patchy. A while back, we reported on the popularity of pojagi, Korean stitched textiles in artfully irregular, stained-glass-like, patterns. Also known as bojagi and chogak po, these cloths were traditionally handmade using techniques that create flat, revers

Years ago, Caroline Feiffer of Via Oltra shared an image of a yoga studio. It was set within vaulted historic walls, pared back, and unusually refined. The kind of space that would make any sedentary individual an instant convert. It belonged to Parkhotel Mondschein, located just outside of Bolzano,

The eco-ish friendly paint market has grown and evolved: The paints we feature here perform like premium conventional paints (offering good coverage, vibrant colors, durability, and longevity) but without harmful odors, chemicals, or added solvents. One tip: Look for products that are low- or no-VOC

Anki Spets has been out to improve American slumber since 1990. Back then, she was a Swedish fashion designer new to NYC and dismayed by the wrinkle-proof, mixed blend sheets that dominated the US market. Years before Ikea and Scandi style arrived on the home front, way before bedding disruptors ent

Here at Remodelista, we come upon quite a few projects that are second homes. It makes sense: people want their weekend property to be an escape from the stress of daily life, and so they pour all their aspirations into designing a welcoming, immaculate, serene retreat. While we love seeing these co

This month’s Quick Takes star is nothing short of a celebrity to those of us who feel pulled to make things by hand. If you’ve been on Instagram in the last decade, you’ve probably seen Diana Weymar’s work: Under the handle @tinypricksproject, she hand-stitches quotes both horrifying and hopeful, un
