Welcome to Meanwhile, on Gardenista, in which we take a look at the goings-on over on our sibling site. In this week’s edition: Lately we’ve seen circles, openings, and apertures appearing in interiors…and now in the garden, too, where they bring a sense of movement and calm. Here, three examples: A

To be filed under Spring Inspiration: the dramatic full renovation of a two-floor Parisian flat from 1830 by Hélène Pinaud and Julien Schwartzmann of Heju. Soft pastel colors, stocked bookshelves, and modern architectural updates make up the style; here, we’ve identified the key items in the kitchen

The project began as a near-ruin in Aurignac, France: an uninhabited medieval house, pared back to its stone structure. When a Paris-based artist discovered the village by chance and decided to stay, he enlisted Les Ateliers Permanents—founded by Chloé Morin and Enzo Fruytier, with an office in Auri

Don’t forget the bitter herbs. Passover is a teaching event by way of two nights of seders—feasts, which begin this year on April 1. The Jewish holiday recounts the exodus of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt 3,000 years ago and celebrates freedom. The tools used to tell the story are six symboli

Happy spring, officially! To celebrate, here are two exclusive, just-for-subscribers discounts for those itching to get out into the garden—and those itching to put on a soft pair of PJs and get into bed.

Aurore Baulier earned her architecture degree in Brittany and her masters in sustainable architecture in Gothenburg, Sweden.

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

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

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
