WE FEATURED THE WORK of interior photographer and stylist Carley Page Summers twice before (here & here), but she has since added more images of her North Carolina home to her Instagram page and it's all marble and crystal chandeliers, gilded mirrors and dappled sunlight, a cat on a dining room table, and a dog curled up on a pink velvet armchair by the fire ...
Tolstoy was a moralist. He wrote one novel—Anna Karenina—in which infidelity ends in death, and another—War and Peace—in which his characters endure a thousand pages of political, military and romantic turmoil so as to eventually earn the reward of domestic marital bliss. In the epilogue to War and Peace we encounter his protagonist Natasha, unrecognizably transformed.
Over the course of the past year, our social media streams began to change. The endless photos of trips to far-flung places like Japan and Australia, and influencer favourites like Bali and Santorini slowly gave way to quarantine home scenes. Quiet lockdown moments of living room cocktails and freshly baked loaves of Dutch oven bread, solitary sofa scenes of open laptops and Netflix streams ...
Swedish model and former Victoria's Secret Angel, Elsa Hosk, normally shows up here in the pages of TIG in May, when she attends the Cannes Film Festival looking stunning on the red carpet. Today, it's her light-drenched SoHo loft that we're featuring, especially since the festival has been cancelled this year. We came across Elsa's home on her Instagram page and fell for its eclectic mix of modern and midcentury, Murano glass and exposed brick, wood and marble.
WHILE WE HAVE many qualms about Airbnb as a business and have never used them personally, if we were ever to make an exception, it would be for this beautiful one-bedroom apartment in Trouville-sur-Mer. Often called just Trouville, this commune is located in the Calvados department in the Normandy region of northwestern France, bordering Deauville, about 200km from Paris ...
Some Guillaume Alan's earliest design memories include the Louvre's magnificent ordered square courtyard, the Cour Carrée, and the tranquil simplicity of Mies Van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion in Spain. These memories fostered a love of classical purity that can still be seen in all of his work today.
AT THE SAME time that I was contemplating wearing sequins over the holidays even if everything ends up small and socially distanced and low-key, a package arrived at the door containing an extra-fancy pair of sweatpants. Now that I (and everyone in the world, it seems) have been spending our lockdown days in sweatshirts and hoodies, it seems foreign to being wearing silk skirts and strappy heels, or button-up blouses and midi dresses.
Shygirl’s “Alias” is less than twenty minutes long, yet it’s weighty with the jolting hyperpop and club music that the London electronic artist has been making for the past few years. Each song is meant to show off a different side of her personality, a tactic that frees her up to play with a frenzied palette of sounds: “SLIME,” co-produced by the like-minded Scottish experimentalist ...
I’ve been obsessing over marble tables for a while now. While apartment hunting, I fantasize about how I will decorate my new space and have been dreaming about either a dining table, side table, or coffee table in marble, or all of them ...
THIS WEEK’S Blogger Style features the utterly charming Instagram photos of Lovisa Barkman (@lovisabarkman). Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Barkman's life in pictures includes chunky knits on a sandy beach and a tiny puppy in a wicker handbag ...
THIS INSTALMENT OF 10 IMAGES features the wonderfully moody and romantic Instagram photos of @nastyanastya: a sun-drenched morning in Tuscany, and a cup of tea at a sidewalk café in Paris; a day at the gallery, and a dinner of scallops by candlelight...
THERE IS A THEORY that people are more productive in beautiful office spaces. If this theory were true, then Office E, in Berlin, Germany must have the highest levels of productivity ever.
SINCE THE LOCKDOWN began, the only things we ordered online were household things such as thermometers, a new frying pan, a projector. Only recently have we begun to order new clothes ...
IT DOESN'T HAPPEN quite as much as it used to, but every once in a while we happen upon a brand new and utterly charming Instagram account to follow that we've never seen before.
Many of you may recognise the image of the beautiful kitchen, below, from our Instagram page. It was designed by White Arrow, an interior design firm co-founded by husband and wife team Keren and Thomas Richter in 2014. As we happened upon that image on Instagram, it didn't occur to us to see what the rest of the home looked like until today ...
