WOLFGANG TILLMANS Photographer The first photographer to win the Turner Prize, in 2000, Wolfgang Tillmans shot Tate Modern’s new Switch House extension throughout construction. We have the images exclusively (page 096), and he also returned to create our limited-edition cover this month. ‘The complexity of the project is what’s so fascinating,’ says Tillmans. ‘For example, a normal building has about four different window types – and the new Tate Modern building has 57 different types!’ AARON PEASLEY Writer Originally from Sydney, Aaron Peasley has lived in New York for the last 12 years, working primarily in the luxury and design sector. One of the first things he did when he moved there was to check out The Four Seasons Restaurant, which is about to change location after more than 50…

Footwear fashions ebb and flow, but espadrilles are an enduring style staple, with everyone from Valentino to Saint Laurent doing their own beach versions of the Catalan classic. But with designer variations retailing into the hundreds of pounds, there‘s room for more affordable everyday versions too – which is where our favourite Brazilian beach brand comes in. Havaianas’ S/S16 espadrille collection comes in a rainbow of colours, but also in two completely new styles: the striped Origine Navy and the palm-printed Folhagem. Though they retain the look of classic espadrilles, Havaianas have replaced the traditional esparto soles with the same trademark rubber that defines their legendary flip-flops, handy for those Brazilian downpours when rope soles would normally dissolve. Espadrilles, £30, all by Havaianas, havaianas-store.com KEEPING IT REEL It’s not just…

The narrow, off-white, brick-clad main facade of architect Alex Michaelis’ new home in west London does not reveal much. There’s a modest front wall and a simple, round, almost abstractly turret-like volume behind it, dotted with large openings of different shapes and sizes. However, a slim gap between this property and the next, along this quiet, mostly residential part of the street, allows a glimpse of a garden and a second volume at the back, hinting at the true flair and scale of this project. ‘A developer, who we’d done some work with in the past, had asked me to work on this plot as a joint venture. At the time, there was nothing there; it was a garage,’ recalls Michaelis, who heads the prolific practice Michaelis Boyd Associates, together…

A world of oenophile wonders and spirit-raising accoutrements Gaiole is a small village perched on top of a hill in the Tuscan wine region of Chianti. Dotted around the area are villas, small castles and vineyards, which are punctuated by olive trees and the rough vegetation typical of this part of the Italian countryside. It is a backdrop to Renaissance paintings and famous worldwide for its wines. Nearby winery Castello di Ama is owned by husband and wife team Marco and Lorenza Pallanti. Marco started working as an oenologist at Castello di Ama in 1982 and met Lorenza, whose family owned part of the estate. In the 1990s, the couple took over the whole operation, restoring the vineyards, which now yield 300,000 bottles a year. Castello di Ama wines have…

This season’s catwalks set a new workplace agenda as stalwart staples of the real-world working wardrobe were spiced up to inspire those soldiering on in the city. At Chanel, the classic tweed skirt suit was relaxed into a more louche wide-legged trouser and flaredsleeve jacket, courtesy of Karl Lagerfeld’s high-flying Terminal 2C collection. At Prada, the trench coat was reworked with patent leather and suede strips and accompanied by pointed kitten heels in a Belle de Jour-ish ode to 1960s futurism. That winter winner, the turtleneck, has also been remixed for the warmer months, edited down to a choker and neckpiece at Dior, and then teamed back with somewhat subversive horizontal pinstripes. On the footwear front, the backless loafer’s recent revival continued at Louis Vuitton and Gucci, where Alessandro Michele…

Palace coup LISBON, PORTUGAL Built as a nobleman’s residence in the late 18th century, the grand confines of Lisbon’s Palácio Chiado were more recently home to the city’s Institute of Visual Arts, Design and Marketing, before a period of abandonment and disrepair. The building’s latest incarnation is as a dining destination, which has opened after nearly two years of restoration work. The concept of entrepreneur Duarte Cardoso Pinto and brothers Gustavo and António Paulo Duarte, Chiado now offers seven restaurants and a bar that have been worked into the original layout of the building to form a gastronomic emporium. Working with architect Frederico Valsassina, interior designer Catarina Cabral has highlighted the building’s grandeur with understated furnishings that accent the marble, gold-leaf chandeliers, frescoes and stainedglass windows, all brought back to…

Alphonso mango British artist Eddie Peake has delivered not so much a recipe as an ingredient. His favourite dish is the creamy Alphonso mango: ‘I like it fresh, in large chunks, with nothing else added, and to eat it with my hands,’ he says. ‘I like to suck every last bit of flesh off the stone, and to scrape the flesh off the skin with my teeth.’ The boy likes his mango. And while he, and his naked performers, roller-skating installations and saucy club nights, are screamingly hot at the moment, so too is the Alphonso mango, which, of the many mango cultivars, is usually the most valued, for it has smooth buttery flesh and little fibre. Questions were asked in the House of Commons because shipments from India were…

Wallpaper’s hot pick of the latest global goings-on As a tribute to the legendary Ico Parisi and his discreet, sensual shapes, French designer Ora Ito has collaborated with Cassina on the ‘Ico’ chair, inspired by Parisi’s ‘814’ chair, produced in the 1960s for the Italian furniture brand. ‘It’s 50 per cent my design, 50 per cent Cassina’s know-how,’ says Ito. ‘Thanks to our ongoing exchange, we have created a tribute to 20th century classic design and 21st century modernity.’ cassina.com…

With its penchant for exotic leathers and brightly coloured hues, accessory label Nancy Gonzalez doesn’t underestimate the value of making a statement. This month, the design-driven label launches a collaborative collection with Brooklynbased artist Kaws, whose work thwacks that sweet spot between art and design. The capsule range is the first in an ongoing Artist Series conceived by the label’s president and creative director, Santiago Gonzalez, who says, ‘His precise use of colour, sense of humour, the graphic yet anecdotal imagery… these are all attributes that we believe our bags also have.’ Kaws’ signature double X motif has been applied to the label’s ‘Gotham’ clutch, ‘Gio’ crossbody bag and ‘Leaf’ tote. Realised in a contrasting colour to the bag itself, the motif has been expertly integrated into the construction for…

Swiss-Israeli start-up Sirin Labs is looking to corner the market with its military-grade smartphone with in-built security to thwart casual hacking, electronic eavesdropping and data theft. Its debut product, the Solarin, is a Kubrick-esque monolith with a metal matrix composite ‘chassis’, accommodating some 2,000 components, neatly wrapped within a Karim Rashid-designed metal and leather skin. ‘The Solarin is for people who typically have a lot to lose, but who also want a mobile phone that is elegant and thoughtfully designed,’ says Tal Cohen, Sirin’s CEO. ‘The Solarin’s luxury is in its technology and unprecedented levels of security.’ The smartphone sports a definite character, with an organic ‘bump’ around the camera, a tactile surface and finely detailed metal edges. sirinlabs.com CULTURE CLASH Catwalk make-up trends in recent seasons have been predominantly…

Public art in the 1940s and 1950s was all about social renewal, about building a better place, for the people. Today, art in public spaces tends to be big business, often turning into the industry-sponsored exercise of adding ‘value’ of a different kind. But occasionally you come across hybrids, such as in the very public, yet privatised space of a major railway station: St Pancras in London. There has been a public art scheme here, called Terrace Wires and operated by HS1, the station’s owner, for the past four years. Every year it invites a committee comprised of broadcaster Evan Davis; Nigel Carrington, rector at the University of the Arts London; artist and curator Chris Wainwright; Royal Academy artistic director Tim Marlow; Nicola Shaw, chief executive of HS1; and Wallpaper*…

Mekong king PRESIDENT BY AKARYN, VIENTIANE, LAOS It’s probably too early to tell if Vientiane is the new Siem Reap, but the opening of the new President by Akaryn hotel is a promising start. The faux Beaux-Arts pile was built in 2012, but poor internal configuration meant the building was never actually used until Akaryn stepped in. The Thai-based boutique hotel group has made the most of the location – in the centre of town, next to Parliament House, the 16th-century Haw Phra Kaew temple, the sprawling Chou Anouvong Park and the Mekong river – to create a glossy white, grand retreat with just 32 suites, furnished by Pathree Design in a French colonial style. The romanticism of the setting is reinforced by manicured lawns, golden teak trees, tropical gardens…
