WHAT’S NEW IN ART, ARCHITECTURE, AND DESIGN 6

MODERN PORTRAITS, HOMES WITH AN INDUSTRIAL INFLUENCE, AND MONOCHROMATIC INTERIORS ortraits are getting an avant-garde face-lift; big-city homes take inspiration from industrial surroundings, and P interior residential spaces make bold monochromatic state-

ments. Here, the latest trends in art, architecture, and design.

ART

Contemporary artists are putting a new face on the traditional portrait, spurning the staid, somber realistic depictions of yesteryear for more unconventional concepts. For Lauren Brevner, who is based in West Vancouver, British Columbia, it’s the female face that undergoes a feminist transformation. She sees her mixed-media portraits, which have been compared to the work of Austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt, as a commentary on the subject of women and their depiction in art through the ages.

RESIDE SPRING 2021

“Although my portraits aren’t necessarily self-portraits, I do feel like there are pieces of me in all of the women I paint,” Brevner says. Brevner, who apprenticed in Osaka, Japan, employs stylistic elements of traditional Japanese art and culture in her works, which primarily are executed in oil. She says the portraits empower rather than objectify women: “They are a reflection of the vitality of sensuality over sexuality.” Frans Smit, who reimagines Old Master paintings by the likes of Rembrandt, John Singer Sargent, Van Eyck, and Velázquez, goes one step further to make the familiar foreign: He obliterates the faces of his subjects with violent brushstrokes or graffities them with sprays of aerosol paint. The South Africa-born artist, who is based in Cape Town, has cited a number of painterly influences, including Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon, and Frank Auerbach, for his jarring realistic/ abstract portraits. ARCHITECTURE

Big-city residences are taking design cues from their industrial surroundings. Architect Matthew Baran, whose namesake studio is based in Oakland, Calif., is designing single-family houses with raw finishes and exposed structures

that are in sync with their contexts. “I am interested in finding beauty in unexpected places and in unique ways,” he says. “I like the idea of architecture adapting to these conditions to take advantage of them.” He has designed homes for developers in Oakland and Berkeley, where zoning laws allow for additional density on lots that have a single-family residence. These lots usually already have a Victorian home, which the team renovates in a period-appropriate style. The new house, in a contemporary industrial style, is built behind the old. His new houses, he says, put things in perspective because “the Victorians, especially in West Oakland, were built at the turn of the century to serve the rail workers.” Baran’s designs, for two-story, three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom houses of 1,600 square feet, include parking for one car and open up to small yards or gardens. He uses industrial, off-the-shelf materials like cement board and corrugated and standing-seam metal and offsets their roughness with warmer, natural materials like wood and stone. For him, it’s about “responding to larger cultural, political, historical, or other hidden contexts, as well as environmental, cost, or other constraints,” he says.

DESIGN

To create serene spaces, designers are turning to monochromatic color schemes that are easy on the eye. “When you eliminate all the visual clutter of patterns, colors, and heavy fabrics, you notice the intricate details of the furniture, the architecture, and the art,” says Mandy Mayers, a designer and co-owner of Interior Philosophy, based in Atlanta. She and designer/ co-owner Jessica Roan create neutral backgrounds, generally painting walls and woodwork white, and add pops of color with art, decorative pillows, and vintage rugs. Mayers and Roan, who usually incorporate natural, organic materials in their designs, used earth tones to ground an Atlanta living room and added objects in a variety of shapes—an oval mirror with a frame made of unfinished wood; iron bookcases that feature geometric designs; and a circular end table that stands on a trio of horn legs— that announce themselves in a bold bid for attention. They defined the space with a natural-fiber rug and layered a vintage wool rug on top to add subtle color, texture, and pattern. The monochromatic look, Mayers says, is trending for secondary as well as primary homes because it is “clean-lined and fresh.”

ess is more.” That was the edict of one of modern architecture’s patron saints, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and is still a guiding principle for many contemporary practitioners. Geometric shapes, a lack of ornamentation, open, efficient floor plans, and seamless indoor-outdoor living are hallmarks of modern masterpieces. But above all, materials—glass, steel, and concrete—shape the designs. Van der Rohe himself was a glass-and-steel devotee, as evidenced not only by his signature glass box skyscrapers (such as the Seagram building in New York), but also the private homes he designed. One of his most famous is the Farnsworth House, a onelevel glass home, framed in white metal. Located about an hour from Chicago, it was completed in 1951 and is now a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Van der Rohe, born in Germany and part of a migration of architects to the U.S. before World War II, was part of the International Modern school. But other styles, such as Dutch De Stijl architecture, also incorporated many of the modern elements. One example is the Rietveld Schröder House in Utrecht in the Netherlands. The residence was designed by Dutch architect Gerrit Rietveld for the woman he loved, Truus Schröder, and her three children, according to Natalie Dubois, curator of the house, which is now a museum. Rietveld was inspired by the Dutch artistic movement De Stijl. Fluid transitions between interior and exterior, clean lines, and the use of primary colors next to white, gray, and black (think Piet Mondrian, who was one of the leaders of the movement). But Schröder had ideas, too, and wanted a home that was less constrained than most traditional builds. “It’s based on the way she wanted to live,” Dubois says.

The Lost House in London was designed by Sir David Adjaye. It looks understated from the outside, but is architecturally sophisticated inside.

That meant a glass facade, which was new at the time, open interior spaces with sliding walls, little to no ornamentation, and built-ins and furniture that have multiple uses. Visitors to the home often compare it to a houseboat, mobile home, or modern tiny house, where everything is multifunctional and compact, Dubois notes. Many of the design elements seen in these homes are still popular with today’s architects. Take the Lost House in London by architect Sir David Adjaye, winner of the 2021 Royal Gold Medal, an award approved by Her Majesty The Queen and given to those who have had a significant influence on the advancement of architecture. The 4,000-square-foot residence gets its name from its simple entryway, according to listing agent Guy Bradshaw of United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty. “It’s literally just a front door,” he says. “You could walk by it every day for 10 years and not know it’s there.” But beyond that door is an open living space with textured black walls and three light wells that create glass-encased interior courtyards and flood the space with sunlight. One of those light wells is at the center of the space and features a fishpond, while the others create gardens within the home. “This home was created in 2004 effectively out of nothing,” he says. “It was an old storage yard, and Sir David Adjaye created this incredible U-shaped home with volume, space, and the clever use of light.” The three-bedroom, three-bathroom home, listed for £6.5 million, also features an indoor pool, a large office above the garage, and a lime-green sunken entertainment room that brings color to the otherwise dark palette. In Spain’s Balearic Islands, the color scheme is decidedly lighter. There, affluent foreign buyers are looking for minimalist homes with views, clean lines, and outdoor space, says Alejandra Vanoli, managing director of VIVA Sotheby’s. One such property is a newly completed four-bedroom, four-bathroom villa in Palma de Mallorca. The white box structure is like a modern version of Van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House, but with mountain views. And although there are floor-to-ceiling windows, it is also partially covered by Iroko wooden cladding that brings warmth to the minimalist architecture. “The construction is very solid with a lot of noble wood,” says Vanoli, adding that home automation allows owners to control and monitor the residence from afar. There’s a pool and lounge area, outdoor fireplace, oak flooring throughout, travertine marble floors, and radiant, underfloor heating. The property is listed for €3.5 million and is represented by Sandra Cosio of Mallorca Sotheby’s. The preferred materials of modern architecture, exposed steel, concrete, and lots of glass, are also on display at a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom home on the market in Seattle. Like the Mallorca home, it incorporates natural elements to take the edge off the minimalist design. “The materials, while restrained in the home, are still very rich and so well defined,” says listing agent Moira Holley, the founding director of Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty

€3,500,000 Property ID: 9RE8SE | sothebysrealty.com Mallorca Sotheby’s International Realty

and a co-founder of the firm’s resale division. “The use of the materials is really exquisite.” Double-height windows in the center of the residence, asking $2.45 million, allow for far-reaching views of the Puget Sound, Bainbridge Island, and the Olympic Mountains. The main floor has an open-floor plan with a fireplace surrounded by cold-rolled steel and walls lined with bookshelves. Designed by Seattle-based Eric Cobb, one of the top-five contemporary architects in the Northwest U.S., the residence has two terraces that extend the living space outside, Holley notes. On the upper level, the outdoor space is adjacent to the primary bedroom suite and features a spa with “the most incredible view.” In fact, Cobb’s ample use of glass means there are vistas from almost everywhere in the house, including the garage. “Luxury equals a view for your car,” Holley jokes.

The Lost House interior, shown at left, has black walls and three light wells. A white box home in Palma de Mallorca, shown in two photos above, nails indoor-outdoor synergy.

BUCKET- LIST TRAVEL CONSIDER THESE LESSER - KNOWN DESTINATIONS FOR THE YEAR AHEAD

vid travelers, intrepid adventurers, and culture enthusiasts eager to make up for lost time are circling their calendars for this year and beyond. But with the masses also looking to vacation with friends and family, the world’s most in-demand travel destinations and experiences are likely to be busy and crowded. Here’s a look at some of the world’s best under-the-radar travel options.

HISTORIC HOT SPRINGS AND VIA FERRATAS IN THE AMERICAN WEST

Active travelers looking to take their adventure game to another level are seeking out via ferratas (Italian for “Iron Way”), climbing routes that employ steel cables, rungs, and ladders affixed to natural rock formations. One of America’s newest and most expensive via ferratas is found at Castle Hot Springs, a historic resort north of Phoenix that has been revitalized in recent years to become one of the country’s most luxurious destination resorts. After walking across a 200-foot long aerial walkway high above the cactus-strewn canyon floor, guests recover in one of three therapeutic hot spring pools, with temperatures reaching 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Visitors to Colorado can explore the 720-mile, Historic Hot Springs Loop, which incorporates five inviting destinations in the western part of the state. The 19 hot springs facilities offer unique features such as vapor caves, hot pots, terraced pools, and gigantic travertine formations. Highlights include the charming alpine town of Ouray, known as the “Switzerland of America,” and historic Pagosa Springs, which offers a convenient base in The Springs Resort & Spa, where guests enjoy access to 24 soaking pools ranging from 83-114°F. Overlooking the picturesque San Juan River, the pools are filled with mineral water from the resort’s “mother spring,” which has been measured to 1,002 feet deep, making it the world’s deepest measured geothermal hot spring. The tony ski town of Telluride offers one of the country’s most jaw-dropping via ferrata routes, thousands of feet above the town’s famed boxed canyon. Guides are not required, but with its challenging course, featuring metal ladder rungs bolted onto a sheer cliff face, not to mention gorgeous views of Bridal Veil Falls, the course is not for the faint of heart.

Joali Maldives is a high-end resort and immersive art experience at the same time.

LUXE TROPICAL WELLNESS IN LANAI

The Hawaiian island of Lanai, which gets only a fraction of 13

the visitor traffic received by neighboring Maui, is famously owned by the tech mogul Larry Ellison. Travelers often feel like they have the island to themselves, as crowds are rarely found across its pine-clad forests or glimmering shoreline. Ellison’s newest contribution to the island, Sensei Lanai, A Four Seasons Resort, is a secluded wellness enclave that distills preventive health science, data, and research into simple paths for everyday living. Guests can explore untouched wilderness, burn off calories in an outdoor adventure park or via myriad fitness and movement classes, and refuel with meals by Nobu, highlighting sustainable, local ingredients. Or guests can venture over to the island’s other destination resort, the oceanfront Four Seasons Resort Lanai, where the stunning grounds contain memorable spaces for R&R, namely stunning lagoon-style pools and museum-quality botanical gardens. Reflections in the beautiful blue waters of Horseshoe Lake at Denali National Park in Alaska.

NEXT- LEVEL THRILLS IN ALASKA

Best known for its world-class salmon fishing, the majestic town of Ketchikan is home to Salmon Falls Resort. Situated at the southernmost entrance to Alaska’s iconic Inside Passage, the resort offers numerous intriguing activities, most notably float plane fishing in which, after a scenic chartered flight, guests land in remote spots to enjoy one-of-a-kind guided fishing experiences. Due to a lack of cruise ships and a decrease in charter fishing excursions, the wildlife watching and fishing is better than ever. The resort’s other bucket-list experiences include bear watching tours, wildlife watching boat safaris, salmon cooking demos, and wine pairings with salmon roe. Located in a remote spot in Alaska’s Denali National Park, the Sheldon Chalet attracts big spending mountaineers— three-night packages cost around $35,000 for two guests, inclusive of a helicopter “flightseeing” tour, gourmet meals, five-bedroom luxe accommodations, all gear and equipment, and more. Once properly fitted with a climbing harness,

snowshoes, helmet, and poles, guests attend the chalet’s glacier school. (No previous mountaineering experience necessary.) Others may simply prefer to relax around the fireplace or warm up in the sauna with views of Denali’s summit. Situated 60 miles west of Anchorage, Tordrillo Mountain Lodge lures adventurers with its heli-skiing and other hair-raising pursuits; owner and heli-ski pioneer Mike Overcast opened the lodge with Olympic gold medalist Tommy Moe. Guests can tackle the only via ferrata in Alaska, or go bear viewing in a vintage 1956 Turbine Otter plane. NEW OPTIONS, SPREAD APART IN THE MALDIVES

Luxury travelers looking to enjoy world-class scenery and relaxation in private, secluded environs have long flocked to the Maldives. But with roughly 1,200 coral islands spread over 35,000 square miles, the destination offers an endless array of new locales to explore. Located in Raa Atoll on Muravandhoo Island, Joali Maldives is one of the destination’s splashiest new openings, as well as its first immersive art resort. The 73-villa property places a distinct focus on design, having utilized the Istanbul-based design firms Autoban and Atolye4n, and Tokyo-based Studio Glitt. When not luxuriating in the postcard-perfect waters, guests take holistic wellness journeys and go on yachting excursions to spot whales and manta rays. Another relative newcomer, the Vakkaru Maldives resort is memorably situated within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll. A tropical wonderland filled with more than 2,300 fully grown coconut trees, the resort’s Work Well package— which includes a bespoke fitness program, personal assistant, and access to a private, oceanfront office—is perfect for executives looking to “work from home” in one of the world’s most scenic offices. Available to guests who book a stay for 21 days or longer, each Work Well residency includes a complimentary upgrade to a bigger villa with a well-equipped study.

For the ultimate private luxury experience, big spenders can buy out one of the Maldives’ priciest and most decorated options—for $35,000 per night. The small private island of Naladhu offers blissful seclusion; there are 20 elegant houses, each with a private pool and 24-hour dedicated butler service. The buyout includes exclusive access to other islands, and guests can enjoy activities such as deserted island picnics, private yacht cruises, in-room spa journeys, and more.

HARD -TO - REACH CARIBBEAN HIGHLIGHTS

With its natural hot springs and tropical rainforests, Dominica is one of the Caribbean’s hidden gems. The mountainous island nation is home to some of the region’s most spectacular rivers and canyons. Participants jump into secret waterfalls and natural pools, descend into deep gorges, hike through lush jungle, and rappel down giant waterfalls to drop into the water below. Serious hikers make the trek to the island’s awe-inspiring Boiling Lake, the second-largest of its kind in the world. The journey to the lake—an ancient, natural cauldron of bubbling water that’s more than 200 degrees Fahrenheit—takes visitors through lush jungles, natural springs, and sulfur pools. The island is also home to the Caribbean’s first long-distance walking trail, the 115-mile Waitukubuli National Trail. With 14 contiguous segments, the trail can take experienced hikers nearly two weeks to complete in its entirety. Family-friendly and suitable for all types of hikers, the trail takes visitors through the island’s history, including indigenous Kalinago villages and ruins from 18th-century French settlements. Over in the British Virgin Islands, eco-minded visitors to Oil Nut Bay on Virgin Gorda can try their hand at turtle tagging. The scenic island resort, surrounded by the Caribbean Sea on one side and the Atlantic on the other, sits in a

turtle-rich environment. Turtle tagging boating adventures allow guests to swim alongside green sea turtles and partake in free diving to safely catch the turtles alongside a researcher. Turtles are measured, tagged, and released, and guests can then follow their adventures even after returning home. A sailing paradise with 60 islands and cays, the British Virgin Islands are best explored on the water. Voyage Charters recently launched Electrified, its first solar-powered charter yacht and the first sustainable sailing option of its kind in the destination. Those looking for a truly out-of-the-ordinary diving experience should head to Virgin Gorda’s Mountain Point, home to the islands’ newest diving mecca, the BVI Art Reef. In 2017, the Kodiak Queen—one of only five surviving ships from Pearl Harbor—was intentionally sunk with a large-scale sculpture of an 80-foot kraken. The project was created by a group of artists, engineers, scientists, and donors (including Sir Richard Branson) to raise awareness of ocean conservation. The site is a coral out-planting platform, which is facilitating a thriving new reef habitat while rehabilitating vulnerable marine life such as the goliath grouper. Speaking of Branson, the islands’ most famous ambassador, his private island retreat, Necker Island has been fully restored after the devastating effects of Hurricane Irma in 2017. Those visiting in 2021 will be among the first to experience the island following its pricey restoration; in addition to two additional guest rooms in the Great House, three giant wind turbines have been installed, furthering the island’s commitment toward sustainability. Aquatic types pass the time with underwater sea adventures, while landlubbers can enjoy everything from private yoga and tennis to cave exploring. The starting rate for exclusive hire of the entire island, which includes use of 20 bedrooms, is $105,000 per night.

Dominica in the Caribbean offers lots of hiking and climbing options for all levels.

THE BEAUTY OF BOHO CHIC THE FREE- SPIRITED DESIGN STYLE FEELS DECIDEDLY COZY

A living room designed by Jessica Davis.

Emily Followil (2)

ohemian design has a piecemeal quality—as if every accent, object, and furniture find was picked up along a storied journey through time. Yet the beauty of it is that everything has its rightful place in a well-worn tapestry. Crafty and colorful, worldly, and eclectic, the carefree look is also homey. Born with a free-spirited vibe, bohemian design came into being in early 20th-century Europe—specifically England, Austria, and France—as part of a movement of nomadic artists who balked at convention and embraced a creative lifestyle that disrupted tradition. The aesthetic “was a reaction to the more formal living arrangements that had taken place prior,” says Alexander Doherty of Alexander Doherty Design based in New York and Paris. Clare Louise Frost, co-owner of Tamam, a line of textiles and décor in Manhattan, describes it as “a design version of an urban, peripatetic, artistic, and intellectual lifestyle, which favored art and creative work above a life directed by making money and purchasing status comforts. It’s a design scheme that favors the labor of love and the collected piece over the templates of the more traditional,” Frost says. “I see bohemian style as a way of life more than a design aesthetic,” says Michelle Salz-Smith, founder of Studio Surface, a design firm in Del Mar, Calif. “We are all craving that free-spiritedness more than ever. There’s a sense of curiosity, adventure, and poetry in it.” Layered and full of life, bohemian-style décor was expressed through textural elements such as shawls draped over lamp shades, rich colors on walls, and a lack of boundary or design norms. “There were lots of mismatching shapes that didn’t necessarily work together and the overall sense that anything would do,” Doherty says. “Color palettes were very saturated with purples, oranges, chocolates, and other jewel tones.”

After the 1920s, bohemian design all but faded away; however, it has come back full force over the past 20 years with a more modern vernacular, Doherty says. “Now, it’s much more eclectic and denotes a very informal lifestyle with flea market finds mixed with antiques.” At its core, the effect is comfortable, cozy, well-traveled, and atmospheric, says Laurie Blumenfeld-Russo of Laurie Blumenfeld Design in New York. “It’s a feeling that artists have been there—as if you’ve been transported to another land. You look around the space and want to learn the stories behind the pieces,” she says. Weaving together a visual about your life, travels, and loves takes some storytelling in the details of the design.

A close-up view of the living room designed byJessica Davis shows how layering colorful artwork works.

MIX, DON’T MATCH

The essential elements of bohemian design include artful touches, an unabashed use of color and pattern, a sense of playfulness, and items that are meaningful to the owner, says Elisabeth Rogoff, principal at Champalimaud Design in New York. “There should be an ease to it all and a mix of pieces from across various styles and patterns and in all sizes and scales, as well as a mix of materials and textures,” she says. Blending old and new is one of the best ways to pull off the look. This means combining family heirlooms with things you’ve collected along the way—décor from your travels or around the block, Frost says. “Make sure the room has a feeling of warmth and completeness, without diving toward clutter. Antique and vintage pieces are ideal, but quality and condition are a consideration, especially for pieces like 17

pillows that will receive heavy use,” she says. Consider mounting and framing antique textiles on the walls and including bookshelves bursting with tomes, as well as a variety of artwork. “It is the exact opposite of going into a showroom and picking things out where there is going to be the same vernacular that goes from one object to another,” Doherty says. Another way to create an eclectic, lived-in space is by melding high and low with interesting objects, textiles, and furniture, says Sarah Henry, managing director at Paris-based La Manufacture Cogolin. “Rugs are essential, and if there is a lot of bold pattern on the floor, it’s better to have less on the furniture, or vice versa,” she says. To ground the space, Rogoff suggests keeping one or two main color themes, particularly for the largest pieces. “It’s essential to have a color story in mind as the base of the room’s palette and then build off that by having no color story in mind, but by instead relying on a mix of textures and patterns to activate your personal ethos,” she says. Don’t be afraid of color—and mixing colors that you might normally think clash, says Jessica Davis of Atelier Davis, a design studio based in New York and Atlanta, and make sure there are plenty of natural textures in there as well.

Bohemian style infuses a space with life because of its eclecticism. “You can choose things that have a story and your home suddenly becomes more of a varied historical lesson,” Doherty says. Layering is an ideal way to achieve a collected look. “It also allows you to bring in and be inspired by many different regions,” he says. For example, fabrics from the Middle and Far East, furniture from Europe, or accessories from Asia. “Collected can feel bohemian but also sophisticated at the same time,” Doherty says. The key components of bohemian design are comfort and usability, a mix of high and low and old and new, patterns, textures, and things from various places you’ve been, Frost says. “Light where you need it, pillows where you need them, an ottoman that can be a perch or table, a travel trunk you use as a coffee table,” she says. Layering different patterns, textures, colors, and interesting accessories can lend depth to a room, and reflect the owner’s travels and culture in a relaxed environment, Henry says. She recommends using pillows to layer in patterns. “Wood side tables and interesting stools can bring a different type of texture and sculpture to a room,” Henry says. Blumenfeld-Russo suggests combining a neutral base with a contemporary statement piece (think rugs, or furniture) and layering in a collection of well-curated objects such as pottery, sculptures, or baskets. “While bohemian décor and design falls on the maximalist spectrum, I aim to balance the design with minimal touches, be it a clean-lined furniture piece or the blank canvas of a white wall. The room should feel eclectic but also have negative space and room to breathe,” she says.

LET THERE BE LAYERS

PLAY WITH PATTERNING

Adding life to the look is as much about color as it is about pattern. Frost suggests using patterns that are reproductions of French or British prints or brocades such as abstract florals. “Nothing too palatial or rigid or too country,” she says. “Bohemian is an urban style,” Frost says. Salz-Smith loves Spanish patterns that hearken back to times of antiquity; “a good chintz fabric to add unexpected botanical flavor.” She sometimes taps a mural artist for both indoor and outdoor graphics that are singular to the home. The trick is to use patterns of different sizes and shapes, such as a small Indian block print combined with a large cabana stripe, so that they don’t compete, Davis says. “Pattern is all about varying scales and finding one element, whether it be a color or theme or texture that unknowingly makes everything tie together in an easy way,” Rogoff says. “Elevate the look by using an artful eye that understands color and scale relationships. Respect the idea that beautiful pieces complement each other no matter how different they are.” CUE THE COMFORT FACTOR

The look should evoke the geography of a life, Salz-Smith says. “I love the idea of home as an autobiography, especially

when we work on second and third homes that should convey a lived-in warmth,” she says. “Forget contrived and perfect; these homes reflect a spirit of harmony, an emotional connection with place, time, and culture.” She prefers comfortable seating from designers, including Croft House and Michael Robbins. “No spindly chairs. We never want clients saying, ‘Be careful sitting on that.’” Textures in textiles/rugs should be entirely geared toward comfort, too, Frost says. “A cashmere throw on the sofa for snuggling with a book, or pillows that don’t match per se but are in the same color family,” she says. “I think of warm textures, too, not the shiny sheen of silk, but the warmth and hand of cotton, linen, or wool,” she says. “A bohemian room is intimate and not a showpiece for guests,” Frost says. She recommends using furniture in a British or more classic style rather than a sleek modernist look. Coffee tables and side/occasional tables can be done in walnut or cherry or use brass or copper tray tables where you need them. “Comfortable chintz sofas, striped armchairs, kilim ottomans; mix in some rattan or leather, fibers, surfaces, and textures. Think warmth, think comfort, think of reading your favorite novel and your ideal place to do it,” Frost says.

EGYPT’S NEWEST GEM THE GRAND EGYPTIAN MUSEUM WILL OPEN THIS YEAR, DISPLAYING THE CONTENTS OF KING TUT’S TOMB

gypt is a nation celebrated for its preservation of artifacts and antiquiE ties; however, no one museum has ever

highlighted such a comprehensive collection as the Grand Egyptian Museum, or GEM, which broke ground in 2012. After numerous delays due to construction, finance, logistics, and the global pandemic, the long-awaited opening will occur this year. “People around the world can’t wait for the museum to open,” says Mahmoud Gebril, CEO of Osiris Tours, a company hosting luxury tours of Egypt and countries in the Middle East. Sited approximately 10 miles from downtown Cairo, the GEM will be the world’s largest archaeological museum, and the first in Egypt’s history to exhibit the complete Tutankhamun collection of more than 5,000 artifacts while housing as many as 100,000 antiquities in total. This exciting cultural debut will surely be a boon to the country’s tourism sector. According to worldarchitecture.org, as many as 4.8 million visitors are expected to tour the museum each year. “It will inspire travelers from all over the world to come to Egypt,” Gebril adds. “This will have a positive impact on the national economy.” Set at the edge of the first plateau between the pyramids of Giza and Cairo, the triangular structure peers out over the iconic Egyptian necropolis. The brainchild of Heneghan Peng, an architecture firm based in Dublin and Berlin, the modernistic build and its illuminated 2,000-foot-high facade echo the pyramids’ silhouettes. After competing for the coveted commission with more than 1,550 other designs hailing from 83 countries, Heneghan Peng was awarded the project in 2003. The international architectural contest was one of the largest in history, and victory was no easy feat. “We were stunned in the first instance to get to the last 20 from 1,557 entries,” says Róisín Heneghan, co-founder of the firm. Yasser Mansour, the general coordinator for the museum, called her with the good news. “I took the call from Dr. Mansour who

said we had won, and when I put down the phone, I needed to ring him right back,” she says. “I wasn’t sure if I had heard properly.” Heneghan says the building facade defines the edge of the desert plateau to the Nile plain, forming the entrance to the museum. The architects wanted the facade to have the monumentality of a landscape element, and they looked at the structure of cliff edges to implement that concept. Once inside the museum’s atrium, a mammoth, 3,200-year-old statue of Ramses II—the third pharaoh in the 19th dynasty of Egypt—will greet visitors before they wander more than 300,000 square feet of exhibits. Heneghan Peng is merely one organization involved in the GEM—the project has indeed been a collaboration. The U.K.’s Buro Happold and Arup are part of the engineering team; Belgium-based Besix has managed construction, while Stuttgart’s Atelier Brückner and London’s Cultural Innovations have contributed to the exhibition design. Like other notable modern museums such as the Guggenheim in Bilbao and the Louvre in Abu Dhabi, the GEM’s composition and setting will be half the attraction. “The museum building itself is an architectural marvel,” says John Nicholson, CEO of the tour operator Egypt Elite and host of the Egypt Travel Podcast. “It’s absolutely gorgeous, and from inside its great hall, you can look out onto the only wonder of the ancient world still standing: the Great Pyramid, alongside the other pyramids of Giza.” Architecture aside, as the world’s largest museum of Egyptology, the GEM will showcase unrivaled collections. “It’s really what’s inside the new museum that will be the biggest draw,” Nicholson says. The Egyptian Museum in Cairo had limitations in what it could display, since it was built before 1922 when King Tut’s tomb and its ancient treasures were discovered. “Most of those treasures had to go into storage, and many of the priceless artifacts were sitting on shelves or the floor. Now, they’ll have a modern home worthy of their significance to Egypt and all of humanity.”

Renderings of the Grand Egyptian Museum show just how spacious the museum, which broke ground in 2012, will be.

SUPERB STEINWAYS THERE’S A REASON PROFESSIONAL PIANISTS ARE SO LOYAL TO THIS BRAND

here’s nothing like a Steinway & Sons piano. Or so say the virtuosos who insist on playing this American-made T instrument.

Steinway & Sons pianos have dominated concert halls all over the world since the company introduced its first piano 167 years ago, and pianists from every genre, from Lang Lang to Billy Joel, are known for the special relationship they have with this maker. We spoke with Anthony Gilroy, Steinway & Sons senior director of marketing, about what makes a Steinway.

If you could summarize, what makes a Steinway so special?

The musicality of the instrument is what guides everything we do. If there is a part of the process where an artisan working with their hands gives us a piano with the best musicality, that’s what we do. If there’s an area where the precision of cutting-edge technology can improve the piano, we by all means will utilize that technology. Why is a Steinway so investible?

Unlike many expensive products, like cars and boats, Steinways are handcrafted and built to last not for years, but for generations. When properly cared for, Steinway pianos provide decades of great music and maintain their value because of their longevity. Steinway is credited with revolutionizing what a piano is and can be. To what do you attribute this?

The Steinway family had an obsession with improving the instrument. Part of this was a very pragmatic thing. They knew if they built a piano better than the next company—which might have been right down the block as there were dozens of piano manufacturers in New York City at that time—it would increase sales. I think another part of it was the pure challenge of it. They felt it was a challenge to continuously improve the instrument, and that’s something we carry through to this day.

Steinway & Sons (4)

The Steinway Spirio—the company’s high-resolution player piano—seems like a logical next step. What’s been the reaction?

We launched the Steinway Spirio in 2016 and, in four years, it has grown to that point that about half of the pianos being built in our Astoria, N.Y., factory are Spirio. Everyone who witnesses a SpirioSync video, where one of the great pianists of today or from history can be seen playing on-screen, but the piano in front of you is playing every note, is amazed. In 2019 we released the next generation Spirio, which allows you to record a performance (it comes with a full editing suite). While Spirio was targeted at luxury buyers that have a love and appreciation of great acoustic piano music, the latest version is targeted at institutions, recording studios, professional musicians, and serious amateurs who want the ability to record their performances. So is an ebony piano a thing of the past?

Although the vast majority of Steinways we sell are still

ebony/black, we’ve been selling more pianos in our beautiful, exotic veneers (called our Crown Jewel Collection). Some people prefer a piano in a specific color, while others prefer one of our “Pops” collection, where it looks like an ebony (or white) piano from the outside, but when you prop up the lid and pull down the fallboard, you see a great color juxtaposing with the black or white exterior of the piano. Even among professional pianists, we’re seeing many more looking for unique colors, especially among younger artists.

Each Steinway & Sons piano is unique, handcrafted, and built to last for generations.

How did Steinway’s apprenticeship program evolve?

We started the formal program in 2019, then things got a bit sidetracked with the pandemic, so we’ve so far had just one class of apprentices. The idea is that each apprentice spends time in every major department within the factory, so they can get a holistic knowledge of the piano-building process. We have had more informal apprenticeships happening in our factory for decades. There are many, many stories of people starting with a task like sweeping the floors or a fairly basic and simple (though still important) part of the process and working their way up. How has the company handled Covid-19?

We’ve partnered with MusiCares on a number of initiatives, most recently with a piano that was played and signed by Alicia Keys and auctioned off to benefit that cause. In terms of Covid-19, our factory was closed from mid-March through mid-July, but we have been back at full production since then. Finally, what’s the best customer feedback the company has ever received, either from an amateur or professional pianist?

With 167 years in business it’s very difficult to pick a “best.” But some of what we really love to hear is when customers talk about their Steinways becoming a part of their family. 25

THE SOOTHING LURE OF A ZEN SCULPTURE GARDEN

reating a soothing spot to reflect, relax, and put aside the world is all C the more attractive these days— and a

Zen sculpture garden is just that space. In the traditional sense, Zen Buddhism is the study of humanity and nature’s place in the world, says Janice Parker of Janice Parker Landscape Architects based in Greenwich, Conn. “Within a Zen garden, there are classically eight main elements: bridges, islands, plant material, sand, stones, trees, water, and waterfalls,” she says. “Zen gardens, to me, should show a serene place where we can still our minds.” To create a calming enclave of your own, however, you needn’t follow strict Buddhist principles. Even a small space with a statuary or a water feature, a spot that simply allows you to breathe, can bring on Zen vibes. “A well-thought-out sculpture garden should give a feeling of tranquility and calm,” says Andrew Kay, of Andrew Kay Sculpture in Cumbria, England. “It should immediately be able to draw you in and allow you to escape mentally— even if you just get glimpses of it from a window in your home.” And feel free to do what you prefer. “Honor what truly brings you to that peaceful place,” says Heather Trilling of Trilling Landscape Design & Build in Los Angeles. “Is it a wild, overgrown space with aged, bronze sculptures? Or a meticulously pruned garden with polished metal pieces? Own your type of Zen and then go from there,” she says. By adding sculptures to your outdoor space, you’re including both an architectural element that adds height, depth, and visual variety and a very personal piece of art, Trilling says. PLACEMENT IS PARAMOUNT

SERENITY NOW 26

First and foremost, a Zen garden should be placed where you can create a boundary or a wall around the perimeter, Parker says. This can be done with wooden or bamboo fencing, a planted hedge, or as a masonry wall. “If you want a subtle mix of green

is undoubtedly personal, but Trilling suggests picking pieces that reflect your interiors. “You want the experience of walking out of your home and into the garden to feel like a seamless transition in both energy and style,” she says. Trilling recommends looking for pieces made out of stone (natural or polished) that will hold up to the elements, or metals like copper and bronze that patina naturally over time.

plants, moss, and ferns, place this garden in a northern orientation, so it won’t get the hot morning or late evening sun, and there will be natural shade,” Parker says. “If you have an area that is stubborn to grow in, I’d suggest placing sculptures in those tricky spots–it’s an easy distraction for the eye,” Trilling says. Think about how much time you spend in the garden, says Edmund Hollander, president of Hollander Design Landscape Architects, with offices in New York and Chicago. Is this a place to sit and contemplate, or is this

more of an interactive piece of art that invites one to walk around? “Try and think of the space, the materials, the light, and the sculpture as elements of a single composition,” Hollander says. Trilling loves to have at least one bench in a Zen garden—for comfort and reflection. “I am a huge fan of McKinnon and Harris for outdoor furniture: They are adaptable to any space, elegant, and built to last hundreds of years.” SELECTING SCULPTURES

The process of selecting a sculpture

Parker recommends small dwarf deciduous and evergreens, which stay in scale over time. And “you can never go wrong with a Japanese maple, the maple family is filled with wonderful variety and they are very user-friendly,” Parker says. She also loves Acer palmatum “Sango-Kaku,” a coral bark maple, which is small. “The bark is green in the spring and then slowly starts to redden up. After the first frost the bark is iridescent crimson, a phenomenal look in the dead of winter. The leaves start out in the spring as apricot and turn to chartreuse tinged with red edges, and the fall brings on another color show of orange and red,” Parker says. For the garden surface, stick to gravel, stone, and moss, as well as ground cover plants and ferns. “Planting around a sculpture is an opportunity to bring even more life to the piece, adding additional layers of color, texture, and seasonal joy,” Trilling says. CONSIDER A WATER FEATURE

Adding a water feature is like infusing instant calm. “Not all Zen gardens have a water feature, but if you are fortunate enough to put in a small pond, it is a wonderful place to add water lilies or Lotus plants,” Parker says. A small waterfall made with rocks and slab stone can be a beautiful addition. Remember that you do not want to be overly showy in a Zen garden, so your water feature should not be so prominent that it takes over the space. 27

TOTALLY TACTILE IMMERSIVE INTERIOR DESIGN INCORPORATES TEXTURE truly inspired interior isn’t just something pretty to look at, it’s A an immersive experience felt through

through accents and artwork that bring a sense of warmth and depth to a room. “It is important to mix the ingredients in the same way a chef creates a perfect dish, bringing all the flavors together in a harmonious balance,” Salvagni says. Contrasts between hard and soft finishes and light and dark colors are essential. And the room shouldn’t be too crowded—individual pieces need to be able to breathe and stand out on their own, Salvagni says.

Achille Salvagni, who designed the room below, says tactile elements can complete and transform a room into a warm, inviting space.

every sense—including touch. The plushness of a shaggy rug underfoot, the splendor of running your fingers through a faux fur hide, the cozy lure of a hand-knit ottoman—by incorporating texture and tactility into your design, the look and feel becomes interactive. “Careful and thoughtful layering of a space makes a room come alive,”

says Rome, Italy-based architect and designer Achille Salvagni. “Alongside color and materials, tactile elements are extremely important. These are the details that can complete a room and transform it from a clinical, sterile environment into a warm and inviting space,” he says. Tactility can be expressed in many ways, through textured fabrics and materials, through the art of layering, whether rugs or throw blankets, or

FOCUS ON FABRICS AND FINISHES

The fabrics and textiles you choose are key to creating a sense of tactility. Los Angeles-based interior designer Peti Lau uses plush fabrics, such as cashmere, velvet, and mohair, to add softness to a room. “It’s the same feeling when you put on a high-quality cashmere sweater—it’s just so yummy—the same goes for designing a room with fabrics that are super soft to the touch,” she says. Cashmere can be applied as window treatments. “It drapes beautifully, is incredibly soft, and the consistency of color can be very soothing and set the tone of the room,” Lau says. Lush fabrics such as velvet, embroidery, or silk also work well for drapery. Woven fabrics, such as mohair, are a great way to introduce textures. They lend incredibly rich color to an upholstery piece and are very durable, Lau says. She also loves to use Mongolian cashmere or a sheepskin rug in a bedroom. “It’s a fantastic way to be connected to your senses—waking up and the first thing your feet touch is that soft, plush rug,” she says. Rugs can also be layered—a faux fur hide over a natural fiber, for example. Designers Michael Violante and Paul Rochford of Violante & Rochford Interiors in Santa Fe, N.M., create a sense of touch in a room by incorporating upholstery on chairs, sofas, ottomans, and lampshades, and through artwork and antiques, wallpaper, glass and steel tables, baskets, and other woven materials like seagrass. They

also love to use textiles, such as Navajo rugs, as wall hangings. Tactile finishes aren’t just limited to fabrics, upholstery, or rugs. They can also be applied to walls. Salvagni suggests using alpaca or bronze wall panels. Nubby wallpaper, plaster-style wall treatments, upholstered pieces, textured tile or wood flooring, and light fixtures are some of the ways you can add a palpable touch to a space, says Nina Magon, founder and principal of Nina Magon Studio in Houston. Magon first considers the use, durability, and location of the tactile piece itself. “It can be beautiful and add interest, but if it does not wear well, or doesn’t feel good, i.e., fabric that is coarse or scratchy, then it is not functional,” she says. LOOK TO LAYERING

Layering touchable surfaces adds more interest and depth within your design. For example, using a range of different fabric throw pillows on your sofa will create beautiful layers and add interest for the eye with a range of textures, Magon says. Salvagni chooses to layer natural textiles including sheepskin, wool, mohair, and velvet, and then adds throw pillows—all while introducing other materials like parchment, bronze, fine woods, marble, onyx, and Murano glass in the way of furniture and accessories in other areas of the room. Rugs, whether hand-tufted wool or silk, against a hardwood or stone floor

for contrast, are another way Salvagni adds a tangible quality. “Each of these has a different feel and can help the ambience change during the day along with different levels of light,” he says. Successfully layering is all about contrasting different elements, say Violante and Rochford. “You don’t want rugs to be too bulky, or accent pieces to be overwhelming; a balance between all the different textures will give you an environment that is comfortable yet stylish, with a bit of depth—and the effect of many things pulled together to create one unified feeling or experience.” Salvagni creates harmony between textures and colors. “You can have contrast, but it must be balanced and resonate with something else in the room,” he says. CREATE BALANCE

Top: A chic yet warm room designed by Violante & Rochford Interiors. Bottom left: A bedroom by Peti Lau combines textures and colors.

Balancing smooth surfaces with textured ones is key, Magon says. Color and texture are also important. “Make sure the color and texture of your tactile surfaces blend with the other elements in your space so everything feels cohesive,” she says. Violante and Rochford opt for soft, sheer window treatments along with stone or wood on the floor with a rug adding into the mix. “What you want is a lush, elegant tactile experience that works harmoniously,” they say. To keep a space balanced, Salvagni uses natural materials for upholstery along with velvet and mohair. “Velvet curtains can be used to lend a sense of drama and grandeur or on the contrary, silk or sheer curtains give lightness to a room,” he says. “Colors, materials, and textures will bring all the pieces together.” 29

MATISSE FOR THE MODERN DAY MAISON MATISSE PERPETUATES THE ARTIST’S LEGACY WITH CONTEMPORARY HOME ACCESSORIES

enri Matisse’s groundbreaking work made him a modern art icon, and now his descendants are allowing his legacy H to expand and exist in new forms.

Jean-Matthieu Matisse, one of the famed French painter’s great-grandchildren, founded Maison Matisse in 2017, a home decor and furnishings brand with pieces designed by both up-and-coming and established artists inspired by Henri Matisse’s work. Matisse, 47, who runs the business with his sister Anne-Maxence, says his family began thinking about this project 10 years ago. “The starting point was our observation that Henri Matisse’s works are often copied on various kinds of items

Maison Matisse, founded by JeanMatthieu Matisse, shown above, carries home decor and furnishings inspired by Henri Matisse.

but are not always as great as they could be,” Matisse says. “We wished to share the talent of Henri Matisse by creating objects inspired by his universe with a respectful interpretation.” Matisse says he and his family chose handcrafted home decor pieces as a way to carry on Henri Matisse’s legacy because the artist was a collector of decorative objects. Though he never worked directly with creating objects, Matisse says his great-grandfather drew inspiration from them in his practice. Henri Matisse’s values, Matisse says, are also reflected in those of the brand: optimism, boldness, and simplicity. Naturally, Matisse sought to collaborate with contemporary artists who are inspired by Henri Matisse in their own work. “[The artists’] practice echoes his universe of shapes and colors, with an audacious approach in the world of design,” Matisse says. One of the artists selected to contribute to Maison Matisse is Italian designer Cristina Celestino. “As soon as I was introduced to the brand, its values, and above all the direct link to the Matisse family and therefore with his work, I felt honored to have been chosen to develop the first furniture collection of the brand,” Celestino says.

Celestino, who previously worked on the Back Home collection for Fendi and Fendi Casa, was selected to design the Intérieur aux aubergines collection, inspired by Henri Matisse’s 1911 painting of the same name. Maison Matisse’s first collection launched in October 2019. Each home decor collection is inspired by a specific Henri Matisse painting, giving the artists a guideline for colors, textures, patterns, and shapes early in the design process, Matisse says. Though their work should be representative of Henri Matisse’s style, Matisse still wants the designers to express their own creativity in their Maison Matisse pieces. “We find a balance between the expression of the designer’s personality and a respectful interpretation of Matisse’s painting,” he says. Celestino says she was given a lot of freedom while designing her collection, and was mostly just instructed to reflect the painting’s color scheme and mood in the furniture and accessories she created. Prior to creating the collection, Celestino thoroughly researched Henri Matisse’s work as well as his admiration for objects. “He was a collector of objects,

ceramics, fabrics, and small furnishings,” she says. “He used to incorporate these pieces into his paintings, which in my opinion expresses his vision about the interiors.” She says some of Henri Matisse’s themes that she translated into her Maison Matisse pieces were the fluid relationship between inside and outside, the use of natural materials, and the overlapping of different graphic layers. Matisse says his intention with Maison Matisse’s collection is to create “a conversation between the Matisse universe and contemporary creation.” The Intérieur aux aubergines collection was unveiled in September 2020 and features a range of home decor items, from a ceramic box for €180 to a folding wooden screen for €14,900. Celestino says her personal favorites, though, are the sofa and rattan armchair she designed. Celestino says Henri Matisse’s use of color, storytelling pieces, and optimism continue to inspire her to “to create spaces, objects, and emotions” in her work, and she’s already working on another collection of home accessories for Maison Matisse. “The inspiration coming from Matisse and his work is exquisitely infinite,” she says. 31

THE WOMAN BEHIND THE MENSWEAR EMILY ADAMS BODE IS AN UNEXPECTED RISING STAR IN THE MEN’S FASHION WORLD

mily Adams Bode hadn’t planned to revolutionize menswear. Not at first. EWhen looking for work after college, one interviewer

informed her she’d be the only woman in the menswear design room, and he wasn’t quite sure it would work. “It’s crazy to think—it wasn’t that long ago,” she says, laughing. “He was just being honest. But that conversation couldn’t happen today.” There are women—like Donatella Versace, Stella McCartney, or Givenchy’s former creative director Clare Waight Keller—who gain acclaim for their men’s collections. Those rare outliers tend to be womenswear designers who slide into menswear. Rarer still are the women who design for men—and men only. Of those, Bode (that’s BOH-dee) is arguably leading the pack. She won U.S. fashion’s prestigious CFDA emerging artist award in 2019, and now her cult brand is breaking out and scaling up in a way that has surprised, and impressed, many in the industry. Born and raised in Atlanta, Bode, 31, spent childhood summers in her parents’ native New England. In a tech-obsessed era, she loved sewing, quilting, and antiquing. She attended The New School, graduating with a dual degree in menswear design

from Parsons and philosophy from Eugene Lang College. After interning at Marc Jacobs and Ralph Lauren, she launched her own brand, Bode, in 2016. It started small, with crafty, embroidered, limited-edition garments made on upcycled and recycled fabrics, from patchwork quilts to deadstock denim, scored at vintage shops from Atlanta to Cape Cod to Paris. Think old-timey workwear silhouettes, but with an of-the-moment gender-casual vibe. Bode today offers a vibrant mix of bowling shirts and beaded rugby shorts (around $425), horse-blanket cardigans (yes, made from blankets, $1,275) and corduroy jackets inspired by Boy Scout “jac-shirts,” complete with vintage patches ($2,100). It’s a look sought-after by trendsetting celebs (Harry Styles, Jay-Z) and high-end retailers (Bergdorf Goodman, Ssense.com). Bode recently took time out with RESIDE® to talk about two passions—vintage clothing and sustainability. Let’s hit the obvious question first. Why menswear? Men design for women all the time but women don’t usually design for men.

Yeah, and no one questions it. In school, no one asks the guys, hmm, why womenswear? But people ask me all the time.

Are you sick of the question?

No. I understand. Fashion has largely been a men’s club. Women have done well in menswear, especially in the U.K., but not many Americans. As for me, I don’t know—I’ve always been attracted to menswear. I’d saved my grandfather’s bowties, and I was obsessed with my dad’s style. He doesn’t believe in blue jeans, and only wears khakis to garden. The vintage I’ve collected is primarily menswear—sweaters, uniforms, 1940s athletic clothes. And I always liked dressing my boyfriends. To make a men’s collection felt like I was creating a world for someone. It was a challenge. And that intrigued me. Why are you so drawn to vintage?

It’s this idea of preservation. As a kid, I’d go to these big antique and flea markets they’d have in the South— like Scott Antique Markets [based in Atlanta and Columbus, Ohio]. I’d listen to people selling things that would otherwise be discarded. I thought, if I don’t

take it and tell the story, what’s going to happen to it? I collected out of fear. Even my own family heritage—I record conversations and…oral histories that would otherwise be completely forgotten. Is there a “Bode man”?

Some people like the prints, maybe they want a fun shirt for a wedding. A lot of guys would come [to the Bode shop in Chinatown]—pre-Covid, of course— shopping for an event or vacation. Others love the fabrics’ history. They soak it up. We also make custom suits for weddings, and trousers for work. People know our quilts and embroideries but we have shirts in antique white linen or 1940s plaids that work well in more traditional environments. [She chuckles.] It’s not all eyelet and scalloped edges. It seems the fashion industry was just starting to tackle sustainability—evaluating supply chains, incorporating recycled fabrics. Then came the pandemic, and

financial crisis. Are you worried brands will put off sustainability efforts, claiming they just can’t afford it right now?

I think that’ll happen, but people will be held accountable for it. The way we’re making things today is much more intentional. So while brands might want to skimp on that, and they may get away with it for the next five years, they won’t for the next 10. Because the people within these organizations [are concerned]. If it’s not sustainable fabrics, then maybe it’s working with a women-owned factory, or reducing a carbon footprint. So sustainability may not be driven top-down but bottom-up. You sound optimistic.

We have a much bigger worldview now. There’s a cultural shift happening. And the people who make up these companies, I don’t know…it’s going to be extremely important to them to work for organizations that believe in better processes.

hen wristwatches became all the rage in the early 20th century, it was not considered proper etiquette for a W woman to check the time during a social engagement. But

a secret watch, disguised as a bracelet, kept the dial hidden underneath a jeweled cover so a lady could remain discreet. Today, discretion has given way to jaw-dropping designs laden with sparkling gems as secret watches go to extremes when it comes to blurring the boundary between jewelry and watches. The six-figure prices, typically only given upon request, are also kept under wraps. At the pinnacle of the discipline are the world’s premier jewelry houses, such as Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels. Van Cleef & Arpels recently revived its iconic 1930s-era Ludo bracelet as a stunning secret watch with a gold bracelet composed of geometric hexagonal links underscoring its Deco roots. You can take your pick of three different combinations of hard stones and sparkling gems: chrysoprase paired with blue sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds; coral with rubies, mother-of-pearl, and diamonds; and lapis lazuli with pink and blue sapphires, mother-of-pearl, and diamonds. The modern Ludo is also a shape-shifter—transforming from watch to pendant to clip in the blink of an eye. Swiss Maison Piaget, renowned for record-breaking feats in ultrathin mechanical watches, also takes the secret watch genre to remarkable heights. The Natural Harmony watch appears to be a spectacular diamond and emerald bracelet, until you slide open the cover to reveal a radiant black opal

dial. Piaget has a decadeslong history of using stones, including phenomenal black opals, for watch dials, a specialty in its own right. The one-of-a-kind white gold cuff is set with 171 diamonds totaling almost 25 carats and 114 emeralds weighing in at more than 12 carats. Designers in Chopard’s Haute Joaillerie workshop in Geneva channeled the romance of the Far East to create the spectacular Lotus secret watch. Because of their unusual life cycle, lotus flowers are considered sacred in many Eastern cultures, where they symbolize rebirth and enlightenment. Chopard’s master jewelers sculpted the jeweled, articulated petals of the bloom in lightweight titanium set with pink and blue sapphires, amethysts, tsavorites, garnets, and emeralds. With a push of a hidden button, the blossom opens to reveal a jeweled dial with yellow-orange sapphires and yellow and white diamonds. The multistrand 18-karat white gold bracelet is evocative of the floating plants’ viny roots adorned with tourmalines, amethysts, and tsavorites. The latest Médor secret watch from Hermès is an over-the-top high-jewelry version decked out in a cloak of almost 23 carats of dazzling white diamonds. The Médor collection takes its inspiration from the Parisian house’s original studded dog collars. Médor is the French version of “Fido.” The first Médor secret watch emerged in 1993 with a watch dial hidden beneath the main “Clous de Paris” pyramid-shaped stud. The design has remained a mainstay at Hermès. The new Médor Haute Joaillerie proves that understatement can be overrated. The watch’s sole threedimensional pyramid glistens with 196 white diamonds concealing the mother-of-pearl dial. Meticulously set with 601 diamonds, the bracelet evokes the brand’s signature gradated herringbone pattern, and requires more than 610 hours to create.

The Natural Harmony watch from Piaget, shown at left, appears to be a diamond and emerald bracelet at first glance.

NATURE INSPIRED NOW MORE THAN EVER, OUTDOOR SPACE IS KEY By Iyna Bort Caruso

Sothebysrealty.com

he kitchen may be the heart of the home, but outdoor space is the lung, the place to breathe. Life on the front porch is making a comeback, design in the backyard is breaking the rules. Homeowners are cozying up under pergolas and out on balconies overlooking skylines. This is life without walls. “Nature is not a place to visit. It is home,” wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gary Snyder. A 16th-century villa in Florence, Italy, embodies the point of view. The eight-bedroom estate is set on ancient hills and counts members of the powerful House of Medici among its former owners. This perfectly preserved residence, a rarity on the property market, features a swimming pool and tennis courts on more than 45 acres of private gardens, parklands, and olive groves. A loggia serves as a kind of jardin d’hiver, or winter garden. It is protected from rough winter winds and extreme summer heat, making it welcoming year-round. Diletta Giorgolo of Italy Sotheby’s International Realty calls it the “most amazing” spot on the estate. “It faces south so you see the sun all day long.” The reaction of visitors to the historic property is one of astonishment, says Giorgolo. “It is almost impossible to find such a vast park in the city.” Sumptuous outdoor space has skyrocketed to the top of homeowners’ priority lists, where it’s seen as having tremendous value, both as a financial investment and an investment in one’s well-being. Studies show that time spent outdoors has a restorative impact. Even in dense urban areas, microspaces are emerging anywhere there’s some available square footage. It’s not just about what kind of outdoor space, but how many spaces: entertaining, fitness, pools, mediation, kitchens, outdoor movie theaters, outdoor offices, each as thoughtfully planned as any room inside the home. The most successful landscape projects are based on context, architecture, and lifestyle, says Mike Albert, principal and landscape architect at Aspen, Colo.-based Design Workshop, a global landscape architecture and land planning firm. His approach is always a holistic one, one that strengthens the ties to the home’s architecture and elevates the experience of the homeowner. “The natural environment is paramount. We spend a great deal of time on site to understand the obvious and subtle factors that would become the drivers of an extraordinary design,” he says. For Albert and his team, that means observing the property at different times of the day and, sometimes, throughout the seasons to determine the best ways of “celebrating what’s there.” Celebrating what’s there has not always been the preference of homeowners. “Historically it would be common for a client to come in and want to bring a different aesthetic, a little bit of where they come from,” Albert says. “Now they have a much deeper appreciation for the native landscapes.” It’s less about imposing upon and more about restoring the landscape. By reinforcing a sense of place, homeowners are taking on the role of stewardship. “More than ever, people want to connect with the outdoors physically and visually. It gives them a sense of rejuvenation,” Albert says. “Residential landscapes possess the ability to deepen one’s connection to the land, and that can be a very rewarding feeling to have right now.”

An extension of the financial district, Marina Bay is a planned neighborhood built on reclaimed land in the Central Area of Singapore, surrounded by the Downtown Core and the planning areas of Marina East, Marina South, and Straits View. “The government’s vision for Marina Bay was a thriving and energetic place,” says Lewis Cha, executive director of

List Sotheby’s International Realty. “Most of the residents are professionals who are working in the Central Business District, which includes DBS Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Allianz Asia Pacific, Facebook, LinkedIn, and the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group.” DAZZLING SKY- HIGH CONDO TOWERS

Its housing stock, which was built between 2008 and 2017, is uber exclusive. Cha says the four major condo developments in Marina Bay have a total of 2,802 units, and there are two

others right on its borders. The oldest, The Sail @ Marina Bay, dates to 2008. Prices start at SGD$1.1 million for a one-bedroom apartment of 50 to 60 square meters. The largest units, which are over 180 square meters, start at SGD$3.6 million. Marina Bay Residences, which were built in 2010, typically sell for SGD$1.5 million for a 60- to 80-square-meter unit up to a minimum of SGD$3 million for an apartment that’s 120 to 180 square meters. At Marina Bay Suites, which was completed in 2014 and has only larger

units, prices start at SGD$3.8 million for a 120- to 180-square-meter unit. Units larger than 180 square meters start at SGD$5 million. Marina One Residences, which debuted in 2017, offers one-, two-, three-, and three/four-bedroom units priced at SGD$1.5 million to SGD$5.5 million and over. Sizes range from 50 square meters to over 180 square meters. Bordering Marina Bay, One Shenton, finished in 2011, and V On Shenton, completed in 2017, feature 841 units priced from SGD$1 million to SGD$3.3 million and up.

WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE

Marina Bay, Cha says, is “not only the center of an international investment hub, but it also features hotels, shops, nightlife, and housing as well as green, open spaces and tree-lined boulevards, all wrapped around the bay.” If it looks familiar, it might be because a number of ﬁlms, including 2018’s Crazy Rich Asians, were shot there. One of the community’s signature features is the Singapore Flyer. At 150 meters in diameter and 165 meters in height, the ferris wheel, some 30 meters taller than the London Eye, is one of the world’s largest observation wheels. Another prime attraction is Gardens by the Bay, a 250-acre park that includes the Flower Dome, billed as the world’s largest greenhouse, and the Supertrees Grove, 18 vertical-garden structures that rise 25 meters to 50 meters and feature collections of exotic ferns, vines, orchids, and bromeliads. Marina Bay hosts a number of premier events, including the Formula One Singapore Grand Prix motor race, which, since 2008, has been held on a street circuit adjacent to the community. The Float@Marina Bay, a ﬂoating platform built in 2007, is the site of several signature events, including the National Day Parade, held annually on Aug. 9, the New Year’s Eve Countdown,

The Marina Bay Golf Course, the island’s only 18-hole public course, also is part of the community, and the ArtScience Museum and the Red Dot Design Museum are other neighborhood attractions. Cha points out that there will be more amenities as Marina Bay expands. The government announced in 2019, without a timeline, that some 9,000 new residences will be added next to Gardens by the Bay. The Thomson-East Coast Mass Rapid Transit Line, which will join the other seven that serve Marina Bay, will be completed in 2025 and “enhance the connectivity of the people living in the area to the rest of the island,” he says.

THE INTERSECTION OF ART AND TRAVEL ountless art lovers are captivated by the visionary artists Diego Rivera, Augusta Savage, and Camille Pissarro. To cut C through the mystery and gain an appreciation and understanding of these masters, one must visit the cities that facilitated their talents. Each is a joy to visit in its own right; add in these stops and you’ll come away with a newfound artistic education covering some of the art world’s biggest names.

DIEGO RIVERA’S MEXICO CITY

The Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, a world-renowned performance venue, features murals by Diego Rivera. The artist is best known for large works of art depicting everyday life, often filled with political messages.

Art lovers who visit Mexico’s capital revel in the chance to see sites where the larger-than-life Diego Rivera (18861957) lived and worked, some of which overlapped with his wife, Frida Kahlo. Begin in the leafy, enchanting neighborhood of Coyoacán, home to the Museo Diego Rivera-Anahuacalli and Museo Frida Kahlo. The latter, popularly known as La Casa Azul, is a striking blue house where Rivera and Kahlo lived together. The rooms were left untouched, so be sure to visit Rivera’s bedroom, where his hat, jacket, and work clothes still hang from a wall rack. The artist built the Museo Diego Rivera-Anahuacalli both as his studio and a museum to hold his collection of pre-Columbian art. The imposing neo-Aztec building sits in a parklike environment that doubles as one of the few wildlife refuges in Mexico City. Take a guided tour, or check out the small gallery which hosts art, music, dance lessons, lectures, and concerts.

In the artsy, upscale neighborhood of San Ángel, the Museo Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo is housed in Kahlo and Rivera’s first marital home. The museum lets visitors explore key sites such as Rivera’s studio, where he made many of his most famous paintings surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows and huge papier-mâché Judas sculptures. Rivera is best known for his large frescoes and murals. A communist, he frequently inserted contentious political themes such as workers’ rights into his works. Rivera’s most ardent fans make a scavenger hunt out of a visit to Mexico City’s Centro Historico, or historic center, where four locations, all within a healthy stroll of one another, hold some of the artist’s most famous works. Check out the Secretaria de Educacion Publica building to see a famous Rivera mural in which Kahlo is depicted handing out rifles to revolutionaries, or scan the exterior of the imposing Palacio Nacional—on the eastern edge of the Zócalo, the city’s vast main square—to marvel at awe-inspiring Rivera murals. The Museo Mural Diego Rivera is a small museum built primarily to house one of the artist’s most renowned murals, Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in Alameda Central Park (1947). And the Palacio de Bellas Artes, a world-famous performance venue best known for ballet folklorico dance performances, houses a museum that displays Rivera murals. Finish with a stop at the Museo Nacional de Arte (MUNAL), which contains a large collection of the artist’s paintings, including pieces he painted in Paris while on a scholarship to Europe.

HARLEM —AND UPSTATE NEW YORK

Pioneering artist Augusta Savage (18921962) overcame poverty, racism, and sexual discrimination to become a key artist, educator, and community organizer during the Harlem Renaissance. Her studio, which she established to oﬀer free classes to children and adults, served as a formative backdrop for a generation of African-American artists. She also created the free Harlem Community Art Center. Savage was one of 12 women artists commissioned for the 1939 World’s Fair in New York. As the only AfricanAmerican woman, she created Lift Every Voice and Sing (The Harp), a 16-foot-tall sculpture of Black youth in the form of a harp, inspired by the hymn “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing.” Sadly, the artist lacked the funds to cast the work in bronze and space to store it, so it was destroyed after the event. Today, the touchstone work exists only in the form of souvenir replicas, including a version on display at the New-York Historical Society. About 100 miles north of Harlem in Saugerties, N.Y., stands the Augusta Savage House and Studio. She owned the modest property from 1945-62, and set her sculpture studio in a small shed.

CAMILLE PISSARRO’S PARIS

A replica of a sculpture created by Augusta Savage lives at the New-York Historical Society.

Though iconic painter Camille Pissarro (1830–1903) was actually born on the island of St. Thomas, the impressionist and neo-impressionist master is most associated with Paris. There, in 1873, he helped establish a collective society of aspiring artists and was viewed as the unoﬃcial leader of the impressionist painters. He became the only artist to have shown his work at all eight of the city’s legendary impressionist exhibitions, which took place between 1874 and 1886. (This was something peers such as Monet, Manet, and Renoir could not claim.) Pissarro inﬂuenced not

only those masters, but major postimpressionists as well, namely Cézanne, Seurat, Gauguin, and van Gogh. Art lovers visiting the City of Light can spend time with some of Pissarro’s most famous works. The Musée d’Orsay possesses more than 50 works by Pissarro as well as the largest collection of impressionist and post-impressionist masterpieces in the world. It is home to Pissarro’s famous White Frost, which he painted near the Parisian suburb of Pontoise, where he lived from 1873-82. Two of his works—The Watering Place, Éragny and Landscape at Pontoise—can be admired at the Louvre, the world’s biggest and most visited art museum. One can also stroll the grand boulevards he depicted later in his career, namely the Boulevard des Italiens and Boulevard Montmartre. In his ﬁnal period, Pissarro featured Parisian landmarks such as the Gare SaintLazare and Tuileries Garden. From his house on Place Dauphine, he produced 30 paintings over his ﬁnal three years, including La Seine et le Louvre—now at the Musée d’Orsay. Finally, Pissarro’s grave at Père Lachaise Cemetery is not far from those of post-impressionist icons such as Georges Seurat and Paul Signac.

IMPECCABLE INDIAN CUISINE RESTAURANTS AROUND THE WORLD ARE PUTTING A UNIQUE SPIN ON TRADITIONAL INDIAN DISHES WITH UNEXPECTED FLAVORS AND TEXTURES, AND BEAUTIFUL PRESENTATIONS 48

have people begun to better understand and appreciate the heritage and delight of Indian cuisine. With nearly 1.4 billion people, 22 official languages and hundreds of dialects, and a unique topography ranging from deserts to snow-capped mountains, it’s no surprise that the country’s cuisine varies by region, town, and even family. “India is as vast as Western Europe,” says Camellia Panjabi, renowned chef and group director of Indian restaurant group MW Eat, which owns the one-Michelin-starred restaurant Veeraswamy, Britain’s oldest Indian restaurant founded in 1926. “There is no such thing as European cuisine, but there is French, Spanish, Italian, and Hungarian cuisine. India has more than 50 cuisines, not only according to regions, but also religion and communities.” While there are unifying ingredients across the country, like garlic, turmeric, coconut, and ghee, they vastly differ based on a region’s bounty. For example, northern Indian cuisine is generally more cream-based, while southern Indian dishes typically have more seafood, coconut, mango, and tamarind. Both in and outside India, chefs seek to elevate traditional dishes with unique flavors. Masque Restaurant in Mumbai, led by executive chef Prateek Sadhu, is an ingredient-driven restaurant with a 10-course tasting menu that explores flavor profiles from across India. Sadhu likes to create familiar dishes, but treat ingredients in unfamiliar ways. “We launched a new space called the Masque Lab, which doubles as a research and fermentation lab, as well as an open kitchen,” Sadhu says. “We’re working on creating new flavors from a specific ingredient and playing around with preservation techniques, different temperatures, or cooking techniques

to see what we can bring out. Some of my favorite results have been from our blackening projects and slow fermenting of produce.” In addition to blackened mango ice cream, one of his favorite dishes is the char-grilled barramundi with a clam rogan josh. While a rogan josh is typically mutton or lamb cooked with fennel, chili, and ginger in mustard oil, he uses clams (seafood would never be found in a traditional rogan josh), and the salinity balances out the other flavors. “It’s more than taking regional recipes and plating them with new tweaks,” Sadhu says. “We try to revisit these traditions and ingredients with purpose and find new ways in which to build cross-cultural bridges. We’re constantly trying to marry the old and new, whether in terms of recipes, methodology, or ingredients.” Quality ingredients are the pinnacle of any meal, and Akshay Bhardwaj, executive chef of one-Michelin-starred restaurant Junoon in New York City, takes advantage of fresh produce, like royal trumpet mushrooms and heirloom tomatoes, from local vendors at the nearby Union Square Greenmarket. Growing up in New York to a restaurateur father and a mother who would cook Indian food seven days a week, Bhardwaj wanted to marry traditional Indian-style cooking with culinary experiences he had growing up in America. One of Junoon’s most popular dishes is smoked masala ribs. The charcoal-smoked pork ribs, smoked tableside, are marinated in a vindaloo spice rub and served with watermelon radish achar. Bhardwaj says this was somewhat controversial at first, as many Indians don’t eat pork and fine-dining restaurants eschew eating food with your hands. Two years since it was introduced, it is still on the menu and thriving. Many Indian chefs strive to deliver

the unexpected. Ajay Walia, founder of one-Michelin-starred Rasa in Burlingame, Calif., and sister restaurant Saffron Indian Bistro in San Carlos, Calif., focuses on contemporary Indian cuisine with locally available ingredients. “You might expect our restaurant to have naan or chicken tikka masala, and we don’t,” Walia says. “We are trying to expose people to things they don’t normally see at Indian restaurants.” Rasa focuses on southern Indian cuisine and incorporates seafood, though many of the types of fish locally caught in California, like halibut, aren’t available in India. Another popular dish at Rasa is the wild mushroom uttapam with wild and cultivated mushrooms and wild truffle oil. Walia wanted to incorporate various textures and temperatures to infuse modernity into an otherwise traditional dish. In addition to local, and sometimes nontraditional, ingredients, he says presentation is key. “Rasa revolves around creating an experience, because ethnic restaurants aren’t known for experiences, they’re known for good food,” he says. Still, good food and quality ingredients go a long way. Panjabi of Veeraswamy spares no effort to source the finest ingredients, including red chilies and saffron from Kashmir, chilies from western India, and cardamom and cloves from Malabar, and also makes fresh paneer daily, sourced from Britain’s Jersey cow milk. Like many restaurants, they are hoping to elevate the perception of Indian food. “Fine dining never meant Indian food,” Sadhu says. “In the last decade, and with the hard work of a few pioneers, we’re starting to see that change. We’re trying to instill the idea that the possibility of this new kind of Indian food also exists—one that leans on our past but is firmly rooted in the present.”

BUGATTI’S LEGACY THE STORY BEHIND ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST EXPENSIVE CARS

ugatti’s legacy would be assured, even if the dormant nameplate B hadn’t been revived for awesome

supercars circa 1991. That’s because, before World War II, the company, under founder Ettore Bugatti, produced a series of exquisite and winning racers, plus elegant and mechanically advanced road cars bodied by the world’s premier coachbuilders. Restorers who dismantle Bugattis discover that every part, down to the smallest nut and bolt, is beautifully designed. Virtually every car to wear the badge, through to today, is highly prized and commands extraordinarily high prices in the showroom or at auction. In 2019, the one-of-a-kind Bugatti “La Voiture Noire,” built for the company’s 110th anniversary, sold for €16.7 million, making

it the most expensive new car ever. “It is an amazing legacy that Ettore has left to the world,” says Matt Baran, editor of the American Bugatti Club magazine Pur Sang and the current custodian of his grandfather’s 1938 Bugatti Type 57 Ventoux Coupe. Ettore Bugatti was Italian, a mechanical genius from a family of craftsmen and designers. He built his first car at age 18, a commission for a count. It won a prize and led to steady work. When it was launched by Ettore in 1909, the Molsheim Bugatti factory was in Germany. But after World War I, the entire Alsace region was ceded to France, and Bugatti chose to stay on there—initially producing mostly race cars. The lightweight Type 10 of 1910 was the first of Bugatti’s “Pur Sang”

(thoroughbred) cars. Like Enzo Ferrari, Ettore considered his road cars as necessary to fund his passion—racing. With the five-liter, 100-horsepower Type 18 (1912 to 1914), he got both a road and race car, capable of a heady 100 miles per hour. Only seven were built, but as probably the fastest street cars in the world at that time, they got noticed. Ettore himself raced the first in the series, nicknamed “Black Bess.” That car has a vivid history, having been owned by French flying ace Roland Garros and campaigned extensively in England. It was sold at auction in 2009 for €2.4 million. The very successful Type 13 “Brescia” came in second at the French Grand Prix at Le Mans in 1911. After an interruption for World War I, Ettore dug up some Type 13s that had been dismantled and, with continuous refinements, went racing again— finishing first, second, third, and fourth at the Brescia Grand Prix in 1921. The company’s first production touring car, the rakish Type 30, had an inline eight-cylinder engine and was an early user of front brakes. It appeared in 1922 and 600 were sold by 1926. But greater things were to come. The gorgeous and deceptively delicate-looking Type 35 (introduced in 1924) was Bugatti’s most successful race car, winning an astonishing 1,000 races, including the Grand Prix World Championship in 1926. Standard practice was for Bugatti to develop a model, then subject it to a process of continual refinement—adding supercharging, for instance. “When they had a better idea, it went into the car,” says Tom Clifford, the Bugatti club’s archivist and the owner of a Type 37A he has raced enthusiastically. “Ettore was a genius at mechanical innovations.”

The company was riding high in 1927, and that allowed Ettore to think big. Really big. The majestic Type 41 Royale, which debuted that year, was competition for Rolls-Royce and Duesenberg as the ultimate luxury car. Sold as a $30,000 bare chassis, the coachbuilder’s art ensured that no two are alike. It was intended as a car for crowned heads, but not all of them—Ettore refused to sell a Royale to King Zog of Albania, claiming “the man’s table manners are beyond belief!” Only six production models were built (and four were sold). All of them survive and are among the world’s most valuable and collectible cars. More affordable but no less elegant and desirable was the Type 57, which Bugatti debuted in Paris in 1934. The popular car (950 were sold in various configurations) is one of the crowning achievements of Ettore’s very talented son, Jean, who was killed in a testing accident involving a Type 57 race car

in 1939. Jean’s death was a huge blow, reinforced by the suspension of the auto industry with World War II. The Type 251 racer was produced eight years after Ettore’s death in 1947, and it retired early at the French Grand Prix in 1956. A small sports car, the Type 252, using a four-cylinder version of the 251’s engine, was sketched but came to nothing. The full panoply of prewar Bugattis is celebrated at the Cité de l’Automobile museum in Mulhouse, France. It’s the world’s biggest Bugatti collection, including three Royales (one built up from a wreck). The brand went into a long slumber, but made a spectacular comeback in the 1990s, initially under entrepreneur Romano Artioli. The new Bugatti Automobili, based at Campogalliano in Italy’s “motor valley” near Modena, came up with the ebullient two-seater EB110 GT. In 603-horsepower Super Sport form, it was capable of zero to 60 in 3.2 seconds,

and 221 miles per hour. In 1991, it was one of the first modern supercars. But the enterprise, featuring a gorgeous designer factory, was shortlived amid a recession, and liquidators were called in by 1995. That could have been the end, but Volkswagen Group bought Bugatti in 1998 and—using the EB110 as a solid base—produced the Veyron (2005 to 2015) and the current Chiron (since 2016). The car has moved steadily upscale, and a 2020 Chiron starts at $2.99 million. Opt for the Chiron Super Sport 300+ and you’re buying a car with 1,578 horsepower, quite similar to the car that hit 304.773 miles per hour at a race track in Germany. If Volkswagen sells Bugatti to Croatiabased supercar company Rimac, as reported, then it could become an all-electric hypercar brand. Somehow, that’s fitting. Ettore, who built an electric Bugatti for his son to drive in 1927, would probably approve. 51

A SUPERIOR MEAL STARTER TWO SISTERS CREATE AUTHENTIC, ASIAN MEAL- PREP PACKETS

This would be a nerve-wracking moment for any entrepreneur. “As first-time founders, as daughters of refugees, as women of color, there was a point where Vanessa and I were very scared,” says Kim, 28. “Our advisors and mentors had cautioned us against launching and suggested we hunker down and launch in 2021 when people were getting back to normal.” The sisters, who live in New York City, were undeterred. “Something in our gut told us that people would be rediscovering the joy of cooking at home,” Kim says. Their instincts were correct. Omsom’s initial three shelf-stable meal starters—each packet contains a recipe and all the sauces, aromatics, and seasonings to cook a specific Asian dish—sold out within just 72 hours. Since then, another three products have been added to the offerings and another starter is on the horizon. From the start, the sisters were also certain of one more thing: They would partner with tastemakers for each product. So far, some of New York City’s top chefs, including Maiko Kyogoku (Bessou), Nicole Ponseca (Jeepney), Jimmy Ly (Madame Vo), and Chat + Ohm Suansilphong (Fish Cheeks)

have been on the Omsom team, doing everything from recipe creation to sourcing and marketing. These co-creators also get a cut of sales for every product sold. It was also very important for the Phams to partner with chefs who were either immigrants or first-generation. “These chefs have the legacy, they have roots, and they will be able to speak better to these flavors than we ever will,” Kim says. “Chefs have a really high bar for quality and taste. This has pushed us in terms of R&D.” Authenticity is the main tenet of this super-fun brand that features all you need (except for a protein and veggies) to make such flavorful dishes as Japanese Yuzu Misoyaki and Korean Spicy Bulgogi from several Asian countries, including Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, and Korea. “There’s a lot of dialogue in food media now about appropriation and who gets to be an expert in a cuisine,” Kim says. “We can’t tell you how to eat Thai or Korean food. As founders, we’ve been unhappy with brands that purport to be experts in a certain cuisine when they’re not. That’s another important reason we partner with our chefs.” Most important, the brand reflects the sisters to their core. “Omsom means rowdy or rambunctious in Vietnamese and we wanted to bring that energy to the product,” Kim says. “If you meet us, we really live that energy of being proud and loud.” They’ve even convinced their family to see the products’ potential. “Like other immigrants, our parents wanted Vanessa and I to take a more traditional path,” Kim says. “Vanessa went to Harvard, and they definitely believed we shouldn’t get too risky and that we should stay in our lane.” But that didn’t resonate with the Pham sisters. “I’ve been working at start-ups since I was 16,” Kim says. “When we first started the business our family was supportive, but I don’t think they understood what we were doing. Now they’re our No. 1 supporters.” In fact, they’re the first to offer advice. “We’ll get a text from our dad with suggestions of people we should send products to,” Kim says. “It feels like a family affair.” Ultimately, the product is resonating with customers, Kim says. “We get DMs on Instagram all the time with folks saying, ‘I haven’t felt seen or heard by a brand in my whole life in the way Omsom does,’” Kim says.

A PREMIUM WHISKEY BRAND HONORS THE LIFE OF FORMER SLAVE NATHAN “NEAREST” GREEN

to the label’s success. Established in 2017 by author and real estate investor Fawn Weaver with her husband, Keith Weaver, Uncle Nearest honors the legacy of Nathan “Nearest” Green, also known as Uncle Nearest Green (Uncle Nearest to friends and family). Green was the first African-American master distiller on record, who lived from 1820 to about 1890. Though Fawn developed a fondness for the spirit while sipping her first bourbon neat, her devotion ran deeper. “My passion for the whiskey business had very little to do with the whiskey itself,” she says. “It was the ability to use whiskey to tell a story of unity during the most racially divided time in our country’s history that flamed the fire.” It was Fawn’s curiosity that motivated her to launch Uncle Nearest, which became a standout among whiskey drinkers, landing it a slew of awards in 2019 and 2020. Likewise, her deep-rooted desire to bring Nearest Green’s story to light was the brand’s inspiration. She was so curious she trekked from Los Angeles to Lynchburg, Tenn., on her 40th birthday, determined to uncover the lost tale of Tennessee whiskey. Through extensive research, countless conversations, and the expertise of archaeologists, genealogists, historians, archivists, and conservators, Weaver unraveled the untold narrative, piece by piece. “We knew we’d be creating a brand with one of the most remarkable backstories in American whiskey history,” she says. As a slave, Green crafted whiskey on preacher Dan Call’s

istory can be as vital to whiskey as grain. And for Uncle Nearest, heritage has not only paved the way for the H Tennessee whiskey brand, but it’s also been quintessential

farm in Lynchburg, and became known locally for producing the best in the area. At Call’s request, Green taught a young boy named Jasper Newton— who would become recognized as Jack Daniel—his art of whiskey-making. After the boy grew up, he took over the farm and its distilling operations, only to hire Green to be his first master distiller. The longstanding partnership between the two families would endure postemancipation, and even after Green’s retirement, as his sons and grandsons went on to distill Jack Daniel’s whiskey too. Though largely uncredited, Green perfected what’s known as the “Lincoln County process,” or sugar maple charcoal filtering, most likely brought from his West African ancestors who filtered water and purified food by the same method. The process is what differentiates Tennessee whiskey from Kentucky bourbon and what lends the spirit its rich yet mellow flavor. “Rarely do you taste anything at 100 proof that has such an incredible smoothness,” says Kate Jerkens, Uncle

Nearest’s senior vice president of sales and marketing, when she speaks of the brand’s 1856 Premium Whiskey, the bottle that jump-started the label. “It is enjoyable neat or on the rocks, but also stands up in classic cocktails.” Carrying the torch for the Green family, Victoria Eady Butler—the world’s first African-American master blender and the great-great-granddaughter of Nearest Green—curates the 1884 Premium Small Batch Whiskey. “Everyone has been so drawn to this expression due to Victoria’s connection to Nearest,” Jerkens says. “They become fans of her flavor profile, which has signature hints of vanilla and tobacco, with a subtle, sweet finish.” While the 1820 Single Barrel Edition’s popularity also holds firm, Jerkens calls this whiskey a unicorn, noting that only a few people manage to secure the bottle each year. “Every barrel of 1820 is unique but will always be a minimum of 108 proof and at least 11 years old,” she says. Less than 1% of Uncle Nearest barrels are chosen as single barrels, and each is handpicked

by the founders and then approved by a panel of whiskey industry experts. These days, Sand Creek Farms, a horse-farm turned distillery occupying 270 acres in Shelbyville, Tenn., about 16 miles from Lynchburg, is devoted to producing the same smooth Tennessee whiskey that Nearest Green did generations ago. Meanwhile, the Weavers purchased Dan Call’s 316-acre property in 2016, restoring the farm, now a historic site open to friends of the brand. “Outside of the extraordinary history, it’s really about the legacy we are building,” Jerkens says. “From day one, Fawn has told us all that we are building a brand to outlive us all.” Beyond overseeing the lauded spirits collection, the Weavers spearhead Nearest Green Foundation, a nonprofit providing full tuition and books for all of Green’s college-bound descendants. The Legacy Scholarship honors the legendary whiskey maker while offering assistance for undergraduate studies, as well as advanced degrees, ensuring the life and accomplishments of Nathan “Nearest” Green will prevail.

Fawn Weaver, shown on opposite page, started her whiskey company, Uncle Nearest, in 2017. The company name pays homage to the first African-American master distiller on record, Nathan “Nearest” Green.

PUMPKIN & COOKIES AND APPLE MISO CARAMEL AT MOCHIDOKI, NEW YORK CITY

This Big Apple mochi ice creamery’s slogan is “imagination in every bite,” and that definitely applies to Mochidoki’s special fall flavors, including the Pumpkin & Cookies, which is mochi wrapped around pumpkin spice ice cream infused with chocolate and vanilla creme cookies. Founder Ken Gordon says he added the unusual flavor to the menu due to his customers’ request for a pumpkin-flavored mochi. “Pumpkin Spice is incredibly popular, but it’s definitely been overdone,” he says. “Our chef likes to experiment, and the idea of giving a beloved chocolate cookie flavor a spicy twist just resonated with us.” Another specialty fall flavor is apple miso caramel, another flavor combo that’s “unexpected, yet familiar and indulgent.”

TRIPLE LAYER S’MORES, MY/MOCHI ICE CREAM, LOS ANGELES

While the Los Angeles-based company has over a dozen traditional and seasonal flavors available in grocery stores nationwide, the beloved campfire snack was reimagined as a mochi ice cream flavor to widen its appeal. “We always had the intention of bringing mochi to the masses,” says Russell Barnett, My/Mochi managing director and chief marketing officer. “And we did this by leading with heritage Americanloved flavors.” The frozen treat, which features a chocolate-flavored mochi with graham cracker ice cream and a marshmallow center, was introduced in July 2019 to coincide with National Ice Cream Day. Barnett says this mochi ice cream’s popularity with customers can be attributed to its “playful” texture, as well as S’mores’ ubiquity in American culture. 58

And those who are health-conscious can feel free to partake of this dessert without guilt, according to Katie Cline, vice president of marketing at Bubbies Ice Cream. “We aimed to recreate the rich and decadent flavor of this classic dessert using no artificial ingredients,” Cline says, “so people can truly feel good about this delicious mindful indulgence.” Not only is it non-GMO and gluten-free, it’s also made with kosher dairy and has only 90 calories per serving.

JENNY HAN’S FAVORITE YA READS THE AUTHOR OF YOUNG ADULT FICTION SAYS THE GENRE CAPTURES UNIVERSAL EMOTIONS —AND HEIGHTENS THEM

anthology series Notes on Love, with an episode written and executive-produced by Han. Han, 40, says she sees film production as another route to storytelling. “Costumes, hair and makeup, sets—I was doing all of that on the page in my books, but with movies, you get to collaborate with really talented people who bring your vision to life,” she says. The writer-producer took a break from her busy schedule to share with us some of her favorite books, for readers young, old, and in between: I CAPTURE THE CASTLE, BY DODIE SMITH

“My all-time favorite book, YA or otherwise. YA as we know it today didn’t exist when the book came out in 1948, but I would consider it very much a YA book in spirit. I think it’s everything a great YA book should be—honest and immediate, eternally fresh and transportive. It’s about an English girl who lives in a crumbling castle; what she wants most in the world is to be a writer.” WE ARE THE WILDCATS, BY SIOBHAN VIVIAN

“As for newly released YA, I’ve had such a busy year, I haven’t gotten to read nearly as much as I like! But one of my recent favorites is We Are the Wildcats by Siobhan Vivian, a book about a girls field hockey team that takes down their toxic coach.” CLAP WHEN YOU LAND, BY ELIZABETH ACEVEDO

“I also love this novel in verse, about two girls who discover they are sisters when their father dies in a plane crash.” JUST AS LONG AS WE’RE TOGETHER, BY JUDY BLUME

“Just as Long as We’re Together is a slice of life, traditional coming of age, and it just gets girlhood right. And there’s a cool Asian-American girl in it named Alison Monceau.” WEEKEND, FINAL FRIENDS, SPELLBOUND, WITCH, BY CHRISTOPHER PIKE

“Honestly [there are] too many to name. His books were always scary but not too scary, and a little bit sexy. I had crushes on all of his characters.”

Author Jenny Han says the emotions many teen characters feel are heightened, making for more engaging stories.

or Jenny Han, best-selling author of the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before series, young adult fiction has much to offer readers at any age. “The emotions your teen characters feel—love, fear, embarrassment—are the same as your adult characters,” she says. “They just tend to be stronger when you’re a teenager because everything’s happening for the first time, plus hormones—it’s all so heightened.” Han, who has written two other YA trilogies, as well as short stories and children’s books, says she believes readers can find everything they appreciate in adult novels—compelling characters, the feeling of immersion in a different world, beautiful writing, pearls of wisdom about their own lives—in young adult fiction. And her work clearly resonates with audiences from all walks of life. The Netflix adaptations of the first two books in the To All the Boys series, which Han also executive-produced, were huge hits on the streaming service.

Meetings can be held anywhere as the device lasts for 24 hours of call time, and your voice is balanced no matter where in the room you are. It costs $129.

The Sony WH-1000 XM4 headphones can block out any unwanted sounds.
