If I were to make a vision board of my ideal apartment, these calm, uncluttered, and deliberately designed spaces from Greek-Australian company, Molongo, would be on it. The Il Capri Hotel, which opened in March, has 21 rooms, each of varying sizes with comfortable, luxe decor, plus a restaurant with views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, a dance-all-night club, Rumore, and rooftop pool. Originally transformed into a hotel in 1899, a 19th-century villa has been given a careful update. Here they’re offset by a butter yellow ceiling, high-tech lighting, and baby blue velvet merchandising stands for a coolly minimal interior. The new Modes store in Milan by Berlin-based Gonzalez-Haase deploys some of the same motifs as the studio has used in previous stores for the brand - namely lots and lots of silvery metallics. The exterior, crafted from archaeological sourced ceppo stone, gives way to fabric-lined walls, leftover from a previous tenant, a 50-year-old Milanese antiquity shop, while Brutalist windows, crafted by FOS, make customers wonder whether it’s a shop or gallery. Yet unlike a traditional stagnant retail space, the ability to evolve and embrace the past and changing present is the whole idea. Interiorsĭanish artist FOS (Thomas Poulsen) has collaborated with BOYY for its Milan storefront. Showcasing works from Ettore Sottass, Paolo Pallucco, Enzo Mari, Marco Zanuso, Christophe Pillet, and more, the 100-piece set-up is bright, bold, and shows off founder Stefan Cosma’s vast knowledge of and admiration for the style. While no longer open, we couldn’t help but cover Eclectico Studio’s Parisian exhibit, “Archetypes of Desire,” a love letter to Postmodernism, marking the virtual gallery’s 10th anniversary. Archival objects, sketchbooks, and vintage furnishings were mixed in with current re-editions from Cassina, CB2, and more, all curated by his designer daughter, Emanuela Frattini Magnusson. Park, known for his ethereal resin furniture, takes on the idea of “absence of space” with volcanic rock and industrial steel forms set against resin and glass.Īn awe-inspiring backdrop of 17th-century frescoes at the Palazzo Borromeo Arese set the stage for a celebration of famed Italian architect Gianfranco Frattini’s work throughout the decades, staged 30 minutes outside of Milan’s city center. Held at Carpenters Workshop Gallery New York from May 9 through July 27, the show takes a cue from German-Korean philosopher Byung-Chil Han’s concept of “Unding” or non-object. Juxtaposition is the name of the game for South Korean artist Wonmin Park’s first United States exhibition: Unding: Restoration of Existence. This week: an animal-printed collection from Sarah Sherman Samuel, a luxe revision of a 19th-century neo-Gothic Italian palazzo, and a few stand-out interiors from Milan. A weekly Saturday recap to share with you our favorite links, discoveries, exhibitions, and more from the past seven days.
