Leave it to Jarvis Cocker — the man who became famous for writing a song based on a trip to the grocery store with a Greek heiress — to rhyme “claustrophobia” and “disrobe ya,” as he does on his new single, “House Music All Night Long.”
Elsa, this post is for you, and it's filled with wonderful decor inspiration (and shopping links!), from chic cane armchairs and elegant table lamps; brass shelves and towel bars and wicker placemats, and of course, a perfect selection of gold ...
ONE OF OUR VERY favourite things to do during the holidays is to spend an evening by the fire with a glass of cava, wrapping presents with Christmas music on and a mess of kraft paper, rolls of satin, velvet and grosgrain ribbon spread all over the living room floor.
Beck has released a new song, “Everlasting Nothing,” from his upcoming album Hyperspace. It’s the fifth single from the project, following “Saw Lightning,” “Hyperlife,” “Uneventful Days,” and “Dark Places,” all of which were written in collaboration with Pharrell.
“Cool To You” is the third release of this year from Taylor Van Ginkel’s solo project, Teenage Priest. Written and produced by the Los Angeles artist, he expresses the struggle of wanting to be perceived as cool, despite straying from his internal desires.
ONE LOOK THROUGH our Décor Archives and you will notice immediately that there are very few contemporary interiors and a thorough fondness for maximalism. We've always favoured traditional or new traditional styles to anything modern, being drawn instead, to ornamentation―gilded mirrors and chandeliers, toile and boiserie and crown canopies. The closest we've ever ventured to the modern or minimal is ornate austerity.
On the 1st of September I felt like someone pushed a button causing the weather to suddenly take a different turn: the mornings are brisk, the afternoons are hot, and by the time I leave work it’s chilly again. The mood on the streets of Paris is more beautiful than I have ever have seen before.
SPRING'S CHICEST look by far is the trouser or pant suit, and our favourite iteration of the trend is in always-elegant all white. Whether in linen or satin, white strappy sandals or chunky trainers, it's a look that is crisp yet relaxed and can go from office to weekend effortlessly.
This is a time of fashion houses reissuing their iconic pieces, and with Fendi's reissuing of its Baguette on the SS19 runways and Karl Lagerfeld's recent passing away, the Italian fashion house is very much on everyone's minds. The late designer did, after all, work for the brand for 54 years. So for this edition of Style Inspiration, we'll look at the many iterations of Fendi's iconic FℲ branded pieces, from mock turtlenecks and knits to capes, tights, and trenches, and of course, the Baguette.
IN THESE LAST DAYS before Christmas, the city sidewalks are filled with last-minute shoppers, merry with the flush of cava and happy to be jostled about by the elbows and shopping bags of grandmothers with arms filled with gifts, and couples hoping to surprise one another with their thoughtfulness. Everywhere, there seems to be a feeling of good cheer.
Gosto bastante de desenvolver meus móveis com um diferencial, gosto de criar uma relação com as pessoas, desenvolver uma interação, pois penso em móveis atemporais, que durem para uma vida inteira. Portanto estes móveis acabam se tornado não apenas móveis, mas um bem imaterial, insubstituível, que acaba fazendo parte da família, de sua história. Acredito que quando colocamos a mão, como artesãos, passamos nossos sentimentos para o móvel, o que traz alma e o torna único.
When thinking of the South I always picture sunny landscapes, pink hours by the beach, dîners en plein air on the terrace. Last August I spent only a few days in the south and I didn’t get a chance to visit all the places I wanted to see so much.
You may or may not have heard of the name Mart Stam, despite the fact that he created one of the great cornerstones of twentieth century seating design.
