WE FEATURED THE Grand Hotel Villa Feltrinelli in the summer of 2015, but the hotel has since redesigned their website and new photos have emerged.

While we’re getting ready for a festive month, in some cities the first snowfall has already been celebrated, and morning coffee is being taken more and more often under the covers, even though I just discovered a pretty café in my neighbourhood.
Special events & party planner Françoise Dumas' Paris apartment has that time-worn, lived-in feel that's difficult to replicate, both cosy and comfortable and sophisticated at once. The kind that cooly mixes Jacques Grange-designed sofas with 1930's ceramics from the collection of Karl Lagerfeld.

If you’re a longtime reader, you’ll know about our love for ornate austerity — spaces that are minimalist but not altogether cold and modern, but warm and with traditional flourishes such as chevron wood flooring, wood panelling, marble and crown moulding.
