LAST WEEK I read an article about a couple who had such trouble staying offline when they wanted to be, that they did the most drastic thing they could think of: they disconnected their internet. They had a landline installed to make calls, and used the Yellow Pages to look up telephone numbers.
I DON'T KNOW what it is about Kings Cross that makes us want to join long queues for food, but this weekend, we did it again. This time, it was for dim sum and you don't even want to know how long we waited. We were tempted to leave a few times, but the promise of the best dim sum in London was too much, so we stayed.
Microsoft is making a desperate play. Having spent billions on a search engine that no one uses, the company has sunk billions more into equipping it with the chatbot technology ChatGPT, on the theory that answering queries with automatically generated, falsehood-strewn paragraphs rather than links to webpages will be what finally persuades users to switch from Google Search.
THIS WEEK'S DÉCOR inspiration is furniture seller-turned-interior designer Juniper Tedhams's Chelsea townhouse, located in the lower two floors of an Italianate-style building dating back to the 1850s. The ground floor used to be her shop, then her interior design office ...
ALEXANDRE DE BETAK has been designing fashion shows for the past 25 years: from Dior in Moscow's Red Square to Tiffany's in Beijing’s Forbidden City. The last Jacquemus show staged in a wheat field outside of Paris? That was the work of his creative agency, Bureau Betak.
ONLY 6 DAYS into the new year and we're still taking things very slowly here at TIG, as you may have noticed. A new year is always a good time for a palate cleanser, and this spare and spacious Paris apartment is the perfect place to begin. The space was designed by Helene Van Marcke, a designer and architect who was born in Ghent, Belgium and counts the Arte Povera movement and old American Shaker houses as inspiration ...
IF YOU ARE LOOKING to truly get away from everything, look no further than Captains Rest, possibly one of the most remote Airbnbs in Australia—an 80-year-old heritage listed absolute waterfront cottage in Lettes Bay Village, just outside of Strahan, Tasmania, with its own jetty at the front to be precise. Lettes Bay Village itself is a heritage shack community—busy in the summer and quiet in the winter ...
THIS INSTALMENT OF 10 IMAGES features the wonderfully bright and happiness-inducing photos of @alicedetogni. Her use of colour is inspired: from the purple umbrellas of San Fruttuoso, Liguria, Italy to the macarons at Ladurée; to picnics in orange gingham sundresses to fields of wildflowers, it's impossible to look at this interior and graphic designer's feed without feeling that the world is a wonderful place ...
Major Lazer have shared a new remix of the Weeknd’s After Hours single “Blinding Lights.” It follows Chromatics’ remix of the track. Hear the new song below.
Mick Jenkins has returned with two new songs since dropping off his latest EP, The Circus, in January. The Chicago MC offers up distinctive sounds through the new tracks, which are dubbed “Frontstreet” and “Snakes” respectively, linking up with Kaytranada and Kojey Radical along the way.
As you know, we have been fans of Axel Vervoordt for a while now and featured a few of our favourite projects of his in April of 2018. Known for his incredibly calm, grand, sun-dappled, plant-filled and zen-like spaces in tones of whites and neutrals, this space, the home of Dallas-based antiques dealer Betty Gertz ...
The minimal straight lines and sharp edges of modern interior design are giving way to curves, rounded corners, softer forms and sensual, sculptural shapes. Curvy and voluptuous furniture designs and proportions are back in style and ushering softer, more playful, even chubby shapes...
Blogger Nathan Rollinson of The Rollinson has been blogging full-time since 2015. Originally from Cambridge, Nathan moved to London where he discovered his passion for the city. What began as a hobby of visiting beautiful hotels, restaurants and shops, snapping pictures of what he was eating and drinking for his Instagram page @therollinsonlondon, became a dream job, as he is often invited as guests of these beautiful places now.
Nick Nemechek's Copenhagen apartment is not the kind the we normally gravitate to here at TIG, for it errs a little on the masculine side, but we love to push the boundaries of our aesthetics to keep things new and fresh. Besides, this Scandinavian home still has all of the features we've always adored, such as boiserie, soaring ceiling heights and wood flooring, and Nemechek's addition of plush velvets, books and art make it undeniably chic. Scroll through for a glimpse...
LONDON - It was the warm pink walls that drew us to this 1880s west London flat decorated by designer Virginia Howard.
