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.
We first wrote about Christo and Jeanne-Claude in January, when Sotheby's announced the sale of some of the artists' work. Bulgarian Christo Vladimirov Javacheff and Morrocan Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon met in Paris in 1958. In 1961, three years after they met in Paris, Christo and Jeanne-Claude began imagining and creating temporary works of art in public spaces. They would marry in 1962 and become one of the world's most famous artistic collaborations ...
YOU MAY HAVE noticed a certain modular sofa set all over social media the past year and a half in the homes of celebrities and influencers alike, and you may even have known that it was the Camaleonda sofa, originally designed by Mario Bellini over fifty years ago, but did you know that it has become so popular in contemporary times that it was reissued in 2020? The Camaleonda currently has such a following, that four of the homes we featured recently here at TIG all included it: here, here, here, and here. In this instalment of Design History, we will be taking a closer look at the über-trendy Camaleonda, beginning with its designer, Mario Bellini.
I HAVE BEEN coming across so many wonderful interiors on Instagram lately: first there was the French country house yesterday morning, and now today, this wonderfully chic Brooklyn apartment belonging to Mallory and David (and their three cats) @reserve_home.
THERE AREN'T many Paris apartments that we don't like, but when we come across ones that are Joseph Dirand-esque, like this incredibly chic bachelor pad in the Place du Trocadéro, it's a very special thing.
YES, IT'S TRUE we are not often drawn to ultra-modern spaces, but there is something about this penthouse by Melbourne-based CJH Studio that is very appealing at this time of year. As the days are getting longer, perhaps it's the space's brightness that pulls us in ...
YESTERDAY WE HAD drinks on the terrace of one of the local pubs for the first time in six months. It's been a bit chilly lately, but yesterday it was sunny with clear blue skies and it felt, to be honest, a bit strange to be doing something so normal, but also really nice ...
35-year-old fashion designer Christian Vincent Siriano is perhaps best known for winning the fourth season of American design competition show Project Runway, becoming the series' youngest winner. Siriano studied in London under the direction of fashion luminaries Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen and launched his eponymous collection in 2008, showing each season following at New York Fashion Week.
The most iconic sofa I’ve ever seen and desired for my own appartement is the one created by the designer Michel Ducaroy for Ligne Roset more than 40 years ago: the Togo.
THIS INSTALMENT OF 10 IMAGES features the chic, chic! life of Brenda Weischer. Hers in a home filled with fashion books and monochrome, ultra-modern pieces of furniture, lacy lingerie and a wall of mirrors. And it's no wonder, for Weischer has an MA in fashion journalism from Central Saint Martins, and as such, there's a wonderful intelligence to her style. Scroll through for a glimpse ...
THE FIRST THING that caught my eye in this charming Swedish kitchen was the glass-front cabinets, which reminded me of those old barrister bookcases sometimes repurposed in décor for storing/displaying shoes. The kitchen belongs to two Berliners, Laura Muthesius, a food stylist, and Nora Eisermann, a photographer, who always dreamed of owning a home in Sweden.
Russian-born, raised in Germany influencer Xenia Adonts moved to Paris recently and has been slowly releasing small glimpses of her new apartment on her Instagram account @xeniaadonts. And while the space the classically good bones of a Paris apartment with its juliet balconies and chevron wood floors ...
TO SOME PEOPLE, orange and brown are the colours of autumn. And perhaps they are, in October or November. To me, September, with one foot still in summer, feels more like neutrals--cream and ecru and rust and sand. September to me, is tall leather boots and cloudy Parisian skies, coffee and cosy knits and floods of morning light...
WHILE WE MAY not be the biggest fans of Kanye and Kim Kardashian West, we are very much longtime fans of Axel Vervoordt. In fact, we once wrote a piece about how the Belgian designer and the musician met (How Kanye West met Axel Vervoordt, This Is Glamorous, April 26, 2018) ...
