THIS INSTALMENT of 10 IMAGES features @marcovalmarana‘s life in Japan. These images evoke an internet long gone, when you could wander onto someone’s Instagram page and get lost in their world.
WE ARE FINALLY back with the fifth instalment of our popular series, Talking Points, after a very long hiatus, and this week, we’re looking at the concepts of core values, false ideals, and hyperreality.
IT'S TURNED DARK and chilly and wet suddenly, and everywhere, I'm reading that September is everyone's favourite month. It's definitely not mine, but the closer we get to winter, the more I give in to the cosiness of the changing seasons and let myself begin looking forward to the holidays, which, amazingly, is less than three months away already.
WE WROTE about displaying figurative art and nudes in March of last year, but thought it was worth revisiting this topic again because the act of surrounding oneself with such works can provoke interesting conversations about artistic expression, the human form, and personal taste.
THIS INSTALMENT of 10 IMAGES features the work of Marco Valmarana. Born in Venice, Italy, Valmarana got his start working for Belmond as a lifeguard at Hotel Cipriani. After his studies, he took a different path, working in photography and social media.

THE LAST time we featured any wedding content here was three years ago. It's something that lifestyle sites used to do quite regularly, but for some reason, seem have to dropped from their regular stories. Perhaps it's because no one could get married during the pandemic years, or perhaps no is getting married anymore, or perhaps reading about other people's weddings is a bit boring.
THIS WEEK’S INTERIORS REDUX is also an Artist in Residence and At Home With feature, offering a glimpse into the home of American painter, sculptor and photographer, Edwin Parker “Cy” Twombly, Jr.
REVIVING a beloved series from our archives, we’re bringing back our curated collection of recent discoveries. Previously known as “10 Things We Loved this Week” and later evolving through various iterations like “(Five) Things We Love Lately” and “Things in my Saved Folder /001,” this edition offers an eclectic mix of cultural curiosities.
THE RELAUNCH OF SHOP TIG
Shop TIG offers unique pieces from a global selection of independent designers and emerging artists. The concept for this space is to function very much like a gallery, showcasing a curated collection of the most beautiful things on the interwebs we could find, with a focus on design and craftsmanship. We work directly with makers, and as such, our inventory is sold on a rotating basis as pieces become available. We can’t wait to share with you the things we have always loved, as well as objets d’art newly discovered that will become long standing favourites.

SINCE WE’RE CURRENTLY featuring Karl Lagerfeld in our NEW SERIES, You Are What You Consume, we thought we might revisit this rather epic editorial the cultural icon shot for Harper’s Bazaar nearly ten years ago.

In their iconic song “Bohemian Rhapsody”, Queen asks a question that feels increasingly relevant in our digital age: “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?” As we navigate a world where virtual reality and information overload increasingly influence our perception of reality, this question becomes more than just a catchy lyric—it’s a philosophical conundrum at the heart of our modern existence.
