Designed by Achille Castiglioni and his close collaborator, architect Gianfranco Cavaglia, two decades ago, writing set ‘Cento3’ has now been put into production for the first time. Castiglioni’s daughter Giovanna found the original prototypes hidden behind a mirror in her father’s Milan studio: a series of wooden pencils that he and Cavaglia had created in collaboration with Bottega Ghianda in 2001. During the project’s conception, the two designers debated the pens’ exact shapes, and the final design is moulded to accommodate a three-finger grip, to reinforce the connection between hand and mind. The design has the added benefit of not rolling off a table easily. The prototypes had been left untouched for nearly two decades, as it was difficult at the time to find a manufacturer to produce the unusual…

THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT UNIQUE SENSE OF PLACE Construction materials, techniquesand colours change from region to region,which makes travelling interesting. Guest room décor should use localcolours, materials, techniques and finishesthat you won’t experience elsewhere. Local trees, plants, soil and climate creategreat olfactory experiences and memoriesthat are often overlooked and are preferableto the smell of chemically perfumedamenities and overbearing cleaning products. Offering local dishes and produce,no matter how simple, is better thanany generic ‘international’ option, sopromote these to the top of the menu. One should never overestimatethe value of a good view. Local staff can be the best draw.…

Innovative approaches to male skincare and wellness are still few and far between. For Brandon Palas, founder of male beauty brand Beau D, it no longer holds ‘that beauty, either in word or concept, is somehow the exclusive province of women’, an ethos he’s promoting with a new product line that begins with a lip salve. New York brand Tracaris also appeals to ‘a new wave of masculinity’ with a Hydrating Radiance Serum formulated to protect all skin types from air pollution and travel-induced irritation. A plant-derived deodorant is the first product in what will soon become a full skincare line from Saint New York, which is setting its sights on being the grooming equivalent of streetwear brands like Off-White or Supreme. Californian label Asystem, meanwhile, offers a skincare and…

Erwan Le Louër is fascinated by geometry, his clean lines and understated interplays of precious metals forming the cornerstone of French men’s jewellery brand Le Gramme. Trained in industrial design, Le Louër graduated in 2008 with a master’s degree from what was then ESDI, in Paris, and translates his analytical aesthetic into the brand’s cool minimalism. Le Gramme, created in 2013 by Le Louër and Adrien Messié, encapsulates simplicity. Materials take centre stage, with 18ct gold or sterling silver precisely proportioned for clean and uncluttered forms. The smooth surfaces of the precious metals become ripe for interpretation, with a choice of polished, matte or brushed finishes available to discerning wearers. Patterns, when used, are subtle – the ridges of a guilloche wedding ring are gentle, the grooves in a lightweight…

Kader Attia’s breakthrough work, Ghost (2007), began as a cast of his mother. Childhood memories of seeing her in prayer prompted the artist to wrap her in layers of aluminium foil as she knelt. He then repeated the process until he had a crowd of 40 figures, arranged neatly in a grid. Viewers approach the figures from behind, mimicking the perspective from which Attia would have encountered the long, narrow spaces that often served as mosques in the Paris of his childhood. Only when they reach the other end of the installation do they realise that the figures’ burka-like hoods each conceal not a face, but rather a haunting void. Despite its beginnings as a personal gesture of filial love, Ghost is mostly about wider, weightier ideas, among them the…

Welcome to our Design Issue. While in-person gatherings of the international design community, in Milan and beyond, may still be months away, there’s a host of launches that leave us eager with excitement. Showcasing the unflagging creativity of designers around the world, this issue is a celebration of the inspiring ideas, exhibitions and products to come. The legendary Hella Jongerius gives us an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of her upcoming solo show at Berlin’s Gropius Bau, which explores experimental weaving techniques, and graces our limited-edition subscriber cover. The show includes live elements: among them a participatory installation inviting visitors to spin a yarn from recycled textile waste, and four looms working in tandem to create large-scale, 3D-woven objects. This is a masterclass in pushing traditional craft techniques to new heights, memorably…

Synonymous with sleek Scandinavian design, Georg Jensen is our go-to brand when we want spectacular scene settings. Thrilled at the prospect of a return to entertaining, we were delighted to learn that the Danish brand would be extending its ‘Sky’ and ‘Cobra’ tableware collections. ‘Sky’, designed by the Frenchborn, Copenhagen-based designer Aurelien Barbry, originally debuted in 2018 as a series of bar accessories, but has now been expanded to include dinnerware and glassware. A series of porcelain plates, bowls and serving dishes boast soft lines and slightly asymmetrical bases, inspired by the organic shape of clouds, while new crystal wine glasses and tumblers feature delicate, rounded forms that feel understated yet sophisticated. Meanwhile, the iconic fluid lines of German-born designer Constantin Wortmann’s ‘Cobra’ collection now appear on salt and pepper…

After a complete renovation that was entrusted to Charlotte de Tonnac and Hugo Sauzay, of Paris-based Festen Architecture, the Splendido Mare in Portofino reopened its doors on 16 April. The hotel’s 14 guest rooms now allude to a feeling that you are staying at the Ligurian home of a very chic, wellheeled friend, one that features handvarnished wood, rope detailing, textiles by Loro Piana, and a layering of furniture and furnishings that takes in existing pieces, newly commissioned and locally crafted designs, and 20th century pieces by the likes of Gio Ponti, Paolo Buffa and Guglielmo Ulrich. The Splendido Mare is the first property to be refurbished since LVMH acquired hospitality brand Belmond in April 2019. Belmond was originally founded in 1976 by James Sherwood, who bought the Hotel Cipriani…

Sustainable innovation, craft, responsible production, and how we relate to objects and nature are recurring themes in the work of Dutch designer Hella Jongerius. A new series of textile experiments and an exhibition at Berlin’s Gropius Bau, ‘Woven Cosmos’, presents a panoramic take on her thinking. ‘I have always worked on the relationship between objects and human beings; objects are silent partners, there is a lot of healing in them,’ says Jongerius, whose work over the past three decades has touched upon industrial design, furniture, craft, material explorations and chromatic research. Her ongoing work with colour has led her to collaborate with textile manufacturers Maharam and Kvadrat; to leave her mark on classic Vitra furniture by Jean Prouvé, and Charles and Ray Eames; and to design the North Delegates’ Lounge…

New York designer Sander Lak set up Sies Marjan six years ago. Last June, the label was shuttered, another casualty of the pandemic, but before its untimely demise, it had established a reputation for impeccable tailoring, a colour-focused approach and a feel-good point of view. And it went out on a creative high. For his final A/W20 collection, Lak, a former design director at Dries Van Noten, took an esoteric deep dive into experimental sustainable practices, sponsoring and creating a capsule collection for the AMO/Rem Koolhaas’ exhibition, ‘Countryside, The Future’, which opened in February last year at the Guggenheim. The collection explored ideas of sustainability and eco-responsibility as Lak experimented with innovative material techniques and fabrications. These included a collaboration with Cornell University on an eco-printing technique where plants and…

Family and function are interwoven in the world of design. A family of stools, for instance, gathered together to explore a certain theme or shape. A coterie of tableware, each piece related to each other so that every course can be enjoyed to its fullest. But Nifemi Ogunro, a Nigerian-American artist and designer, marries design to the concept of family in a more literal way. In her first, very personal, collection, she reaches for inspiration within her own immediate family. Born in Lyon, France, 25 years ago, Ogunro moved to Colorado, and then lived in North Carolina – graduating with a degree in industrial and product design from Appalachian State University in 2017 – and Georgia before settling in Brooklyn, New York. Throughout these moves, she’s had to bring her…

British ceramics brand 1882 Ltd has launched a new collection of candles, with a bespoke scent, in ceramic holders designed by some of its most celebrated collaborators. The candleholders – though that description doesn’t really fit their ambition – were created by designers Max Lamb, Bethan Gray, Snarkitecture, and conceptual artist Bruce McLean. Longstanding collaborators with 1882 Ltd, the four were chosen to celebrate the diverse range of techniques and aesthetics that the brand has been championing since it was set up in 2011 by daughter-and-father founders Emily and Christopher Johnson. After a career in advertising in LA, Emily returned to London to study design, where she spotted a gap in the market for designled, British-made ceramics (see W*242). Her family’s ties with Stoke-on-Trent’s artisanal heritage date back to the…

Looking at each individual project by Sumayya Vally, it’s hard to pinpoint a ‘signature’ look or subject. There are installations, film and sound pieces, projects around food, community-focused schemes, fine art research, and traditional building works. Yet zoom out and examine her portfolio as a whole and her fascination with the ‘city’ becomes clear. Listening to her talk reveals even more: Vally is ‘obsessed with Joburg’. Vally grew up in an apartheid-era township in Pretoria called Laudium. She credits the tight-knit community, ‘strong urban atmosphere’, and her experiences of going to a Muslim school from a young age and living in a relatively small space with informing her sense of community and city. Witnessing many people transcending that small-town context, through their work or studies, also played its role. But…

Model: Louis S at Tomorrow Is Another Day. Interiors: Olly Mason. Digi tech: Emre Cakir. Photography assistant: Kerimcan Goren There are some people who would describe their current style as slovenly. If you are one of those adherents, then we suggest you now step away from those slouch-inducing sweatpants and oversized sweaters. Your aspiration for spring should be sprezzatura, an Italianate nonchalance most effectively achieved through investment in appearanceuplifting, lightweight suiting. Think of the springtime suit as a post-pandemic transition piece, sitting serendipitously between the sportswear silhouettes of your lockdown wardrobe, and the stiff, starch-filled tailoring of your former office-bound existence. Look to subtly oversized proportions that have a laidback lilt, easy unlined silhouettes and fabrics that welcome the warmer weather. As we ease gently back into the outdoors, it’s…

Founded in 1978 in the Swiss town of Bienne, the watchmaking division of Hermes has since grown to encompass a workshop solely focused on creating leather straps and another that produces in-house movements. An Hermes watch is characterised by a clean design that belies the robustness of the whole. It is a point simply drawn in the lines of the new Hermes ‘H08’, which takes its name from the rounded forms of the font. The negative space of the 0 and endless loops of the 8 underpin the geometrical whorls of the case, which juxtaposes a circular dial with its softened edges. In its emphasis on a comfortable cut and tactile materials, it is consistent with the codes set out by artistic director of menswear Veronique Nichanian, who this season…

After months of shuffling around in our slouchiest separates, lazing in loungewear and tootling about in tracksuit bottoms, we’re eyeing up ensembles with a little more oomph. Flounce was a focus on the S/S21 catwalks, as labels shirked the dresseddown sartorial slump of 2020 in favour of optimistic, more attention-seeking style, revelling in hardware, sequins and shimmer. Brands, such as Saint Laurent, Roksanda, Numeroventuno and Salvatore Ferragamo, also adorned evening looks with delicate plumes, whether they swathed skirts and slip dresses or frothed from a skinny sleeve. These fine-feathered pieces recalled the froufrou of a 1920s flapper girl or the sweep of a 1960s starlet. Numeroventuno’s Alessandro Dell’Acqua created Jazz Age-style embellishments by pairing plumed skirts with pared-back chunky knitwear and men’s shirts, while Saint Laurent’s Anthony Vaccarello found particular…

BB: Do you drink coffee? MK: I take my coffee short, tight, strong. Were you a creative child? I have always avoided everyday life, groups and institutions. I felt trapped on a school bench and I felt trapped making things I had to make. At 14, I was thrown out of school. It then became my path to work against being categorised. I find it a strange idea to study and pass an artist diploma – it is the opposite of freedom. What has been your creative journey and how did your processes develop? I joined the Compagnons du Devoir, a French organisation of craftsmen and artisans dating from the Middle Ages. Their traditional, technical education included taking apprenticeships with masters who imposed on me an aesthetic and technical route.…

One victim of multiple lockdowns has been adventure – even lazy days in the Dodecanese remain but a dream. But with its latest watch, Montblanc is determined to keep the spirit of adventure alive. The newly launched 1858 Geosphere Desert Limited Edition is inspired by Italian mountaineer Reinhold Messner, one of the world’s greatest living adventurers. Now 76, Messner was the first man to conquer Everest without supplemental oxygen and is perhaps most famous for scaling the Seven Summits, his list of the highest peaks of the seven continents – in descending order, Everest, Aconcagua, Denali, Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, Vinson and Puncak Jaya. In 1986, Messner became the second person to climb all seven summits, having been beaten to it by Canadian Pat Morrow several months earlier. Montblanc has worked with…

At a time where most art galleries and institutions are still oscillating between the real world and a virtual one, the contemporary art and design gallery Salon 94 has doubled down on in-person viewing with the unveiling of a new home on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Located in a palatial, six-storey building built between 1913 and 1915 at 3 East 89th Street, the neo-Renaissance structure originally served as an exhibition hall, library and entertaining space for the philanthropist and scholar Archer Milton Huntington, and as an artist’s studio for his wife, sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington. Designed by architect Ogden Codman Jr, who counted both the Vanderbilts and Rockefellers as clients, the building was created as an extension to the Huntingtons’ residence on Fifth Avenue next door. In 1941, both properties…

For stockists, see page 193 Noodles are associated with longevity in Korean culture, so it’s fitting that a noodle soup, janchi guksu, is a favourite of painter Park Seo-Bo, who turns 90 this year. A founder of Dansaekhwa, a monochrome style that emphasises repetition and tactility, Park played a pivotal role in shaping postwar Korean art and remains active to this day. His new London show reinterprets his pencil and oil works as vehicles for collective healing: ‘my slower movement of pencil tracings overlap on top of one another to reveal the passage of time,’ he reflects. His wife Yoon Myeong-Sook has written up his recipe featuring step-by-step photographs for preparing the anchovy broth, which Park favours for its ‘clean taste’. Park is at White Cube Bermondsey until 1 May, whitecube.com.…
