MELINA KEAYS Entertaining Director ‘I am a proud Londoner and never tire of it,’ says Keays, a veteran Wallpaper* contributor. She never seems to tire of directing our entertaining stories either, which she’s been coordinating since issue one. ‘What’s not to like?’ she says. ‘An orgy of decadence, luxury, beautiful things and delicious food – and yes, we consume it all.’ For our Italian-inspired shoot (page 140), Keays did her homework by watching Luchino Visconti’s opulent period film, The Leopard. QIU YANG Photographer We dispatched Amsterdam-based Yang to the Rotterdam studio of Sabine Marcelis to preview her latest commission, a series of sculptural fountains for Fendi’s 2018 Design Miami offering (page 068). ‘Instead of simply documenting the sculptures, I wanted to interpret them. Water and light are recurring themes in…

As the boundaries between formal- and casualwear have blurred, and sportswear has become a luxury staple, hybrid designs have emerged that assimilate a variety of shapes and styles. Staying one step ahead of this synergistic aesthetic is Milan-based label Neil Barrett, whose Tank boots, in a graphic black and white print, bridge the gap between the battlefield and the half pipe. Part military boot, part skate sneaker, the style boasts the rubber toe and zip-detail of a trainer, and a sturdy military-tread sole. We’re totally commandeering the new fashion without frontiers. Boots, £395, by Neil Barrett, neilbarrett.com. ‘Maze’ rug, €5,727, by CC-Tapis, cc-tapis.com…

As the flavour profile of cocktails becomes more complex, and ingredients lists start to sound like three-course meals, techniques are developing to bring more culinary raw materials into a liquid state. One such method is fatwashing, which has become a way to beef up beverages without texturally clogging the palate. Bringing all the comforting, rich savour of butter, coconut, peanut butter, bacon fat or foie gras into a glass, the technique pays dues to the perfume industry and its age old methods for extracting aroma from oil with alcohol. It entered the drinks industry around 2007 when Don Lee, of New York cocktail bar PDT, put butter-washed rum and coke together for his Cinema Highball. Essentially, a fatty ingredient is added to a spirit and then frozen so that the…

Louis Vuitton is launching its first series of candles, created by in-house perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, who also worked on the fashion house’s perfume debut in 2016. The four fragrances, developed to convey the feeling of a gentle breeze bringing the outdoors in, are inspired by seasonal landscapes discovered by Cavallier Belletrud during his travels: L’Air du Jardin distills a Provencal garden filled with May roses in spring, Ile Blanche is all sea spray and beating sun, Feuilles d’Or is the wet, woody aromas of the forest, and Dehors Il Neige is a snowy landscape infused with festive notes. Marc Newson’s containers for the scented wax nod to voyaging. A leather handle over the handcrafted ceramic vessels represents the maison’s signature material, while a thin, gold-finished lid also doubles as…

Water has been an occasional creative motif at Fendi since 1977, when it commissioned the short film Histoire d’Eau to launch its debut ready-to-wear collection for women. The first film made specifically for a fashion brand, it followed the adventures of young American actress Suzy Dyson in Rome, drawing a connection between her exquisitely crafted outfits and the splendour of Rome’s fountains and architectural icons. Four decades on, Fendi picks up this theme once again with rising Dutch design star Sabine Marcelis, who has created an installation for Design Miami exploring the tranceinducing beauty of water in motion. ‘Water is such an interesting material because of its changing shape and appearance,’ says Marcelis, whose mastery of glass and resin brought her into the spotlight. ‘It’s very undervalued and I think…

Peak time SIX SENSES, BHUTAN Thanks to a combination of inaccessibility, exclusivity and a limited tourist quota, Bhutan has long possessed a certain cachet as a destination. The arrival of the Six Senses group in the Himalayan kingdom will only enhance this status. Five lodges, designed by Thai studio Habita Architects in hand-cut stone, timber, bamboo and packed earth, are dotted across a series of lush valleys, the idea being that visitors move from one location to another to discover different aspects of the country. First to open are lodges overlooking the Paro and Punakha valleys and one in Thimphu, the capital; two more, in Gangtey and Bumthang, will open in spring. In total, the project includes 82 rooms, all furnished with bukhari stoves and antique rugs. The marquee attraction…

Tea connoisseurs have long known that a superior cuppa depends just as much on the shape of the teapot and cups as it does on the tea leaves. The Paris-based founder of Maison des Trois Thes, Yu Hui Tseng, believes she knows the secret of the perfect infusion. A collaboration with porcelain brand Ruyi has resulted in the Aroma collection of tea accoutrements. ‘An oolong tea will never brew in the same way as a green tea,’ Tseng says. Which explains the varied shapes of the teapots in the collection, each designed to control oxygenation, moisture and temperature according to the tea leaf being brewed. Even the bijoux cups follow a specific shape, not least the angle of the rim, which Tseng designed to mould just-so with one’s lips. ‘Aroma’…

Opening next month at Amsterdam photography museum Foam, ‘Feast for the Eyes’ offers a rich history of food photography, from 19th-century still-lifes and vintage cookbooks to conceptual art. There’s plenty pre-dating the #foodie generation, showing just how long people have been obsessed with capturing what they eat, in all its glorious forms. Consider this jelly recreation of the dancefloor in Saturday Night Fever, photographed by Grant Cornett, or the slightly absurd Watermelon/Bread by Robert Cumming. Mouthwateringly good. Feast for the Eyes’, 21 December- 6 March, at Foam, foam.org…

Miami may be best known for its art deco architecture, beach glamour and pristine coastline, but it is one of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods that is currently gaining momentum. Established in the late 1800s, Little River is a historic district that still exudes the close-knit qualities of an enduring community. Named after the river that cuts through the northern part of Miami and empties into Biscayne Bay, Little River is a scenic enclave that’s peppered with historic low-rise buildings and the spacious industrial warehouses that characterise other popular areas such as Wynwood. While quieter than the vibrant Little Haiti area that butts up against it, Little River’s charm hasn’t been lost on the growing artistic and creative community that has been lured into its midst. Not only does it count…

No doubt the micro-homes you know and love are minimalist cabins built in the boondocks. Less sexy are their compact urban counterparts whose ‘all-inclusive’ business models make amenities, not architecture, the heart of the sell. While touting a tiny footprint, micro-apartments are increasingly competing on micro-luxuries. Who needs bike racks, free gyms and laundry facilities when New York’s Carmel Place is offering Hello Alfred butler services? Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, microflats come equipped with ultra-short-throw home projectors that transform small walls into big screen TVs. Expect jam rooms, pet spas and golf simulators to become de rigueur, too. After all, when your home is the size of a pixel, the tiny perks count.…

Horological heroes of the hour In 1969, unique ‘snowflake’ hands began to appear on Tudor’s Submariner diving watches. Today, the wide hands, resembling a magnified snowflake particle, are a powerful graphic signifier of a Black Bay, the brand’s biggest-selling design, and of Tudor’s wider resurgence. Others in the ‘snowflake’ series include the Black Bay Fifty-Eight and this year’s Black Bay GMT. The Pelagos steel bracelet models also take the snowflake hands, but the Black Bay owns them, so to speak. This quirky detail has been singled out as a mainstay of Tudor’s contemporary offering by Rolex and Tudor CEO Jean-Frederic Dufour, whose vision chimes with that of Hans Wilsdorf, who established Rolex in 1905. Wilsdorf had long toyed with the idea of producing a watch ‘at a more modest price…

The Danish-Vietnamese artist Danh Vō has been described as a ‘hunter gatherer’, drawing widely on disparate historical events and artefacts, and infusing them with an element of autobiography. He has found inspiration in Greek and Roman sculpture, medieval weaponry, the ordeals of Christian missionaries in Indochina, the Statue of Liberty, and the personal letters of Henry Kissinger, each time finding themes that endure across cultures and epochs. So it’s fitting that Hong Kong’s M+ Pavilion has invited him to pay homage to the late Isamu Noguchi in an upcoming show, ‘Counterpoint’. The Japanese-American sculptor and landscape architect’s work has become a major influence on Vō; Noguchi’s public spaces for children were the blueprint for Vō’s ‘playscape’ at Korea’s Anyang Art Park in 2017, and his ‘Akari’ light sculptures have been…

‘Visitors have told us that, although it is a big house, you never feel lost in it’ Husband and wife architects, Florian Baier and Nina Baier-Bischofberger, are both highly skilled parametric designers. But, unlike other parametricists, their mathematics tends to mirror nature’s geometries, which means that Baier Bischofberger Architects aim to make buildings that are not alien spaceships within the landscape, but rather form a liveable part of it. Their latest completed project is a family house near their hometown of Zurich. The property is in Mannedorf, on the edge of Lake Zurich. The clients are a couple with two young children, and the husband comes from a local family who own numerous plots in the area because they were once farmers there. The clients’ chosen plot used to be…

‘House l iving in the sky’ – that was the working concept for The Great Room in the show apartment at Hong Kong’s 8 Deep Water Bay Drive, developed by the Nan Fung Group and Vervain Resources. A multifunctional, formal space designed for entertaining, the room offers breathtaking views of the emerald slopes of Mount Cameron. ‘We wanted to maximise the light, airy feeling of living at elevation – to provide all the benefits of apartment living with the privacy and seclusion of a detached house,’ says the property’s interior designer Alexandra Champalimaud. The development features more than 80 per cent green space, a rarity in hyper-dense Hong Kong. ‘To make a connection with nature, floor-to-ceiling windows were installed, which also make the units feel more spacious.’ Materials, textures, colours…

Wallpaper’s hot pick of the latest global goings-on Shaved ice desserts have long been popular summertime street food treats across Asia and South America. Kakigori, Japan’s iteration, garnished with a variety of syrups and condensed milk, has recently been elevated, however, finding itself on menus at top-tier patisseries and restaurants across the globe. Chefs have been giving the dessert a makeover to accommodate Western tastes, while also looking to extend its appeal beyond summer. New York purveyors are currently imagining a range of festive varieties for winter. Lower East Side patisserie The Little One is serving a white winter kakigori, with coconut pudding and white chocolate snow, while Bonsai Kakigori, in Canal Street Market, is offering spiced apple caramel kakigori. It looks like it might be a white Christmas. thelittleonenyc.business.site; bonsaikakigori.com…

There was a soupcon of the psychedelic on parade at Stella McCartney, Prabal Gurung and Pringle of Scotland this season. Scattered among the Argyle knitwear synonymous with the latter, and alongside colourful ensembles inspired by football fan apparel from the 1980s, was a smattering of tie-dye offerings in the resort collection. The trippy pattern of this dress may be decidedly hippy, but its wibbly stripe details are based on the design of a vintage Pringle jersey. The effect brings a consciousness-expanding elan to the brand’s athletic heritage, making it suitable for both the sports track and the festival field. pringlescotland.com…

OUT OF OFFICE | STEPHEN WITHERFORD AND WILLIAM MANN OF WITHERFORD WATSON MANN ARCHITECTS How do you take your coffee? William: One a day will do, strong with hot milk. Stephen: I buy beans, I grind them and make it myself. How did your practice start? S: The three of us had previously studied together and we were all then working in London. We cooked up this idea where we would meet at some horrible time one morning each week and just walk and look. This was 1997 and London was beginning to change. There hadn’t been any big construction for a long time as we were just coming out of a recession. W: We didn’t start off wanting to fiddle with old buildings, but we quickly realised there were…

For a brand that prizes longevity over novelty, Vipp has had a prolific decade. Originally a manufacturer of pedal bins and bathroom accessories, the Danish firm made an entry into the kitchen market in 2012, with a modular, stainless steel design that can be taken out and travel with the owner if they relocate (W*157). Alongside came a tableware collaboration with Danish ceramicist Annemette Kissow, marking Vipp’s first experiments with ceramics and glassware. Then there was a prefabricated shelter, launched in 2015 – a steel cabin with floor-to-ceiling glass living areas, a kitchen, bathroom and loft bedroom (W*191) – followed by a lighting collection. The same year, Vipp added to its concept store on Copenhagen’s Ny Ostergade with a showroom in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, signalling the brand’s ambitions in the…

Porta Volta is where contemporary Milan seems to come together. The dramatic new architecture of Herzog & de Meuron’s glass temple for Fondazione Feltrinelli sits beside the ornate 1880 Porta Volta toll gates and dominates Chinatown’s pedestrianised main drag, while a long-established Chinese population now interweaves with a trendy new youth contingent. The area is fast becoming one of Milan’s most dynamic – a perfect location, then, for a luxury goods entrepreneur to make his base. A converted auto-repair garage, this loft faces another, still active, auto-repair shop across the courtyard. The soaring 19thcentury volume, which retains its original exposed brick, with archways inside and out, has been turned into an intimate home by local architect Tommaso Fantoni. Fantoni has an enviable design pedigree; the grandson of the legendary architect…

Portugal’s rural Alentejo region, best known for its wide plains punctuated with whitewashed medieval hilltop towns and olive groves, is now home to a unique, art-filled boutique hotel, Da Licenca. It comes courtesy of Victor Borges and Franck Laigneau, who met 12 years ago in Paris, where Borges worked as director of textiles and silk at Hermes, and Laigneau as a gallerist. The pair came across the site, a cluster of 19th-century former agricultural buildings, while searching for a holiday home in Borges’ native Portugal. Arriving as the fierce Alentejano sun set on the surrounding cork, fig and olive trees, they fell in love with the place. No matter that it was too big for a simple private retreat; the couple decided to up sticks, abandoning their Parisian existence in…

One beautiful evening in Venice, German artist Katharina Grosse came across a small restaurant called Alla Vedova (at the widow’s). Thinking immediately of Emilio Vedova, the late Venetian painter who had seen abstraction as a gateway to political freedom, Grosse imagined being invited to his table. ‘We had a lot of Venetian specialities that night, but nothing was like the dark purpleblack inky, velvety linguine.’ The aftermath bore a delightful resemblance to Vedova’s work – energetic, expressive brushstrokes on largely monochrome canvases. The linguine ‘left traces everywhere on the plate, the paper tablecloth, my tongue and my teeth,’ recalls Grosse. ‘Eating squid ink pasta is as if biting into the sea at night.’ For details of Grosse’s upcoming solo show at the Chi K11 Art Museum, Shanghai, turn to page…
