WHAT’S NEW IN ART, ARCHITECTURE, AND DESIGN 3 - D MOTION, INDUSTRIAL- STYLE GLASS WALLS AND WINDOWS, AND UPGRADED BUTLER’S PANTRIES

igital art is immersing itself in 3-D motion, industrial-style glass walls D and windows are bringing luxury homes closer to nature, and butler’s pantries are getting an upgrade. Below, the latest trends in art, architecture, and design. ART

A still frame from Shane Fu’s Polar Museum, shown at top; a still frame from his Competitions piece, shown below.

Works in 3-D motion design are literally taking the art world in a new direction, capturing the attention of collectors around the world, and animating a whole new generation of techy artists. The special-effects images, displayed in public spaces, on big-city advertising billboards, or on social-media platforms, are meant to engage viewers. Paying homage to the “I Heart New York” motto, Shane Fu, a New York City artist who has been creating digital 3-D motion design work for almost three years, once filled the streets of Manhattan with -D floating hearts. n St. Petersburg, Russia, Vadim Solovyov sent a school of enormous stingrays flying through the city’s skies and depicted a giant raccoon washing its paws in the city’s main river. “My work often features abstract movements in a confined space, says Fu, whose works have reached cities such as Shanghai and Sao Paulo, Brazil. His Back Alley Recycling and Limerence, for instance, are digital creations superimposed on top of video footage that is disguised as public exhibits. Los Angeles-based artist Laura Porat creates cartoonlike works that possess what she calls a “vinyl toy quality.” “A big trend in 3-D motion graphics is to create moody, photoreal, and atmospheric environments, while my art goes against the grain in that it’s incredibly stylized and fun and takes a lot from pop

She adds that the steel windows and doors “are a great look that never goes out of style–100 years later, we’re still using them.”

DESIGN

culture, she says. My primary influence is all the movies and TV shows that I watch, but I’m also inspired by everyday life; a lot of the characters I create are based on real people I’ve met.” Artists are embracing 3-D motion design in large part because it is so accessible. “You no longer need a highend computer to do 3-D,” Porat says. ARCHITECTURE

Oversize 1920s industrial-style steel doors and triple-hung windows are used to create luxury residential spaces with unlimited architectural horizons. For a 10,000-square-foot modern colonial in Los Angeles’ Brentwood Park, architect Bobby McAlpine encased the back and sides of the ground floor of the home in the factory-style glass. n the great room, the floor-toceiling glass doors that run the room’s

length make the wall disappear so the outdoors pours in for entertaining,” says Meg Joannides, principal of Los Angeles-based MLK Studio, the interior design firm for the project. They seem timeless and beautiful, and this house is not supermodern so they are appropriate for the style of the architecture.” Plus, the window muntins (the vertical dividers that separate glass panes) are elegantly tapered and extremely thin to “give the distinct look of a modern detail” that retains a historic feel, she says. In another new-construction home in Los Angeles that Joannides is working on, steel windows are being used as transparent room dividers to close the family room from the kitchen and the main hallway. “They disappear into pockets in the walls so you don’t feel boxed in,” she says.

The butler’s pantry has been elevated to an elegant entertaining essential in luxury residences. t is a buffer between the dining room and kitchen,” says Jennifer Gerakaris, a partner at Peter Pennoyer Architects. “They can be dressy or utilitarian but always reinforce the style of the house.” Architect Tim Barber, whose eponymous firm is based in os Angeles, says they are indispensable for large-scale living. “We use them as bars, dessert staging areas, for espresso and tea prep, even flower-arranging ones, he says. During the renovation of an early 20th-century stone and brick French Renaissance mansion, Peter Pennoyer Architects designed a butler’s pantry equipped with a German-silver sink, traditional cabinetry, storage spaces, and direct entry to an elevator. A custom service trolley, complete with its own compartment that serves as a docking station, facilitates serving. For a new Southern Colonial Revival house he designed in Atherton, Calif., Barber wrapped the butler’s pantry in lacquered cabinetry that has old-glass doors, a mahogany countertop and lacquered brass hardware. It features a second dishwasher, an ice maker, beverage fridge drawers, a warming drawer, a liquor lockup, storage for serving pieces and table linens, and displays for stemware. The new pantries, he says, “salute the legacy of fictional butlers past.

CREOLE-STYLE HOUSES OFFER ECLECTIC ARCHITECTURE

lassic ew rleans homes have an instantly recogni able style, with their intricate ironwork and grand galleries. ut if you’re looking to define what, exactly, counts as Creole architecture, the answers get more complicated. Creole is a word used in many different countries and cultures around the world, says Danielle Del ol, executive director of the Preservation esource Center of ew rleans. The way it is most commonly defined in ew rleans is about being born here to parents from somewhere else . That includes Europeans, Africans, free people of color who came by way of aiti. t really runs the gamut. Creole homes, then, have been historically defined not just by their architectural style, but by location, and the people who lived in them. f you date back to the late 1 00s and early 1 00s you can try to classify something as Creole depending on where it’s located in the city, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a Creole cottage or Creole townhouse, Del ol says. n the late 1 00s the Creoles really settled in the downtown areas of ew rleans—the rench uarter—and the outgrowth of that was the Creole suburbs, which we know as Marigny, Treme, and ywater. That said, Creole cottages and Creole townhouses are the two most commonly seen examples of this type of architecture. As the names would imply, one offers more modest family quarters, and the other confers a certain level of status. Creole cottages are pretty much the earliest common type of housing in ew rleans , Del ol says. We really saw them come into prominence around 1 0, and they’re the oldest existing structures still in this city.

They were very space e cient, and a typical cottage was set up like a square with four equal rooms, with four bays—meaning a front and back door, and windows at the sides. As with their larger townhouse counterparts, cottages often had courtyards in the back that could be used as kitchens, gardens, and a space to do laundry and raise livestock. And both types of homes were designed for entertaining guests as much as possible. A mark of good Creole architecture is great entrances, fabulous stairways, beautiful parlors, sometimes two or

three parlors [on the main level],” says Ernesto Caldeira, an agent with Dorian Bennett Sotheby’s International Realty in New Orleans. “Some townhouses might have three parlors across the front; it’s half the house.” But the most recognizable features of Creole townhouses are found on the exterior. “The classic features are the big, stately columns in the front, deep gallery-style porches in the front and back,” says Rachel Solar, an agent with Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty-Central Houston Brokerage. “They tend to have oversize windows, lots of ornate ironwork, and indoors, tall ceilings and narrow, long floor plans and lots of natural light.” “Stylistically what makes Creole townhouses easy to identify is that the openings on the front will be arched,”

Del Sol says. “They’ll often have French doors, and the windows that are round at the top and fit into those arched openings.” Some of these traditional elements are on display at 623 Allston Street, B, a three-bedroom home currently listed in Houston, where even in some new construction, traditional Creole design has made its way over from neighboring Louisiana. “With us being so close to Louisiana, we’ve had a lot of people come from New Orleans, and they’ve certainly influenced our architecture, olar says. “There’s a particular neighborhood in Houston called The Heights—it’s one of the oldest neighborhoods—where only certain types of architecture are allowed, and Creole is definitely one of them. The Allston Street property “has that old world charm, even for new construction,” Solar says. “Builders in this neighborhood do a great job of striking a balance, doing a lot of rich molding, original hardwoods, and those big windows, and also having [modern updates like] functional storage and insulation.” Historic Creole townhouses have been known to get modern updates as well, as is the case at 1040 Chartres Street in New Orleans, a townhouse that has been converted into luxury condos. “It’s an 1820s or 1830s building, and [represents] the current state of a Federalstyle Creole townhouse,” Caldeira says. “These townhouses are one of the most important versions of Creole architecture, and mainly found in the French Quarter. They were built by very socially conscious older families.” The urge to update historic Creole homes, as well as to build new versions, is hardly a new one, and one of the biggest hallmarks of this catchall Southern style is its adaptability. In fact, some of the features that have come to be known as classic Creole or New Orleans style architecture have been added to buildings over the years, the better to align with whatever design trend was in vogue at the time. “These buildings were being built

well into the 19th century, so you had the influence of the reek evival movement, and people in the 1830s who wanted to be fashionable would slap some reek evival details onto the house, Del ol says. f a house has reek evival columns, those could date back to certain decades when they were really popular, and if the overhangs have lacy ironwork, you could date that back as being added at some point when it was popular.” “All the [details] you see in the French

Quarter really came into fashion later on, and were kind of added to buildings that were already there,” Del Sol adds. In addition to being endlessly adaptable, original Creole homes were built to last. “These homes were typically constructed of really heavy woods, like sinker cypress,” Del Sol says. “It’s resistant to everything—water, termites.” “These homes have been here for 250 years, through so many hurricanes,” Del Sol says. “They’re amazingly resilient.”

Traditional Creole style adds character to this new construction in Houston, shown at left.

UNDER THE SEA CAST YOUR GAZE BELOW THE WATER’S SURFACE FOR A ONE- OF-A- KIND AQUATIC EXPERIENCE

Conrad Maldives’ The Muraka is a luxury suite submerged more than 16 feet below the water’s surface.

lobal travelers in search of new destinations have increasingly been looking underwater, where a growing assortment of luxury experiences are waiting to be had. ome are offered in conjunction with a beachfront or overwater resort, while others provide intrepid adventurers the opportunity to channel their inner oceanic explorer, plunging below the surface in search of shipwrecks, exotic wildlife, and more.

NEXT- LEVEL EXPLORING

For adventurers who have already mastered the art of scuba diving or are looking to skip certification , and are dreaming of sinking even further into the great abyss, there’s The Deep Blue Experience by Fraser & U Boat. Guests can explore forgotten shipwrecks and underwater volcanoes throughout the Mediterranean on the U Boat Navigator, a 24-meter expedition yacht that houses a pair of Triton submarines capable of diving 1,000 meters deep; a three-person, custom-built Triton 3300/3—the same model used to film the C’s award-winning Blue Planet II—and a smaller, one-person Triton 3300/1 that serves as a support sub. The U Boat Navigator cruises through Malta, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, and beyond, aided by a crew of six professionals. There’s even a full dive center with mixing facilities for breathing gases. At roughly US$80,000 per week, the package—which accommodates up to 11 guests for cruising—is ideal for amateur explorers who are passionate about world history, shipwrecks, or geology. The U Boat Navigator can be chartered either as a stand-alone explorer vessel or as a shadow vessel for someone’s principal charter or their own yacht.

bedroom with an 180-degree curved acrylic dome, windows in the bathroom and walk-in closet, and a dedicated tunnel viewing theater that doubles as a personal aquarium. With rates starting at US$10,000 per night (depending on the season), the suite, which can accommodate up to nine people, includes an infinity pool, a gym, a private bar, and 24-hour butler service. Junior explorers can go glamping with the fishes, as staff will set up a tepee in the undersea suite. Huvafen Fushi, a luxury resort located in North Malé Atoll, has placed its spa below the water’s surface—the first and only spa of its kind in the world—to deliver next-level calm and relaxation. To make the most of the hypnotic refuge eight meters below the water’s surface, a SpaQuarium experience is offered every evening. Guests enjoy Champagne, canapés, and petits fours while the resort’s marine biologist provides commentary on the nocturnal predators (sharks, rays, eels), bioluminescent plankton, and pristine corals illuminated by UV light torches. Also offered is a bespoke underwater dining experience. The Maldives has seen several other notable properties open underwater facilities and attractions recently. Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas— located in Baa Atoll, a renowned UNESCO Biosphere Reserve housing some of the richest diversity of marine life in the world—offers EA, an underwater

restaurant and wine cellar featuring the country’s first certified wine education. Patrons can expand their wine knowledge and earn a globally recognized WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) certification during their vacation. (The resort’s wine collection is valued at more than US$2 million.) Guests enjoy an array of underwater activities, most notably the Snorkeling with Manta Rays program; the waters are home to the world’s largest natural manta ray feeding region from June to November, allowing visitors to get up close and personal while swimming with hundreds of the gentle giants. Niyama Private Islands Maldives, whose entire spread, including a pair of private islands with 134 spacious villas, can be rented out for $130,000 per night, is home to Subsix, the world’s first underwater club, located six meters below sea level. If lounging with drinks while gawking at bioluminescent activity doesn’t appeal, the subaquatic space also hosts private chef dinners, wine tastings, and events. LUXURY RESORTS, SUBMERGED

One of Dubai’s most iconic resorts, Atlantis, The Palm, is home to a three-story underwater suite. (The master bedroom’s floor-to-ceiling windows look directly into the Ambassador Lagoon aquarium.) Starting from around $5,500 per night, the suite includes 24-hour butler service and full access to the resort’s myriad attractions.

One such attraction, the Lost Chambers Aquarium, hosts underwater yoga, pilates, and meditation classes, with a backdrop of 65,000 marine animals. The resort’s newest underwater thrill is the Aqua Trek Xtreme experience, in which intrepid explorers descend a ladder 10 meters to the bottom of the Ambassador Lagoon, while wearing an Aquatrek helmet. Once guests reach the bottom, they embark on a guided underwater walking tour of one of the biggest open-air aquariums in the world, coming face-to-face with sharks, stingrays, and schools of multicolored fish. Resort World Sentosa, situated just off the coast of ingapore on the island of entosa, offers 11 two-story Ocean Suites with direct access to the resort’s massive aquarium. Each unit includes a scenic outdoor patio and Jacuzzi on the upper level, with underwater views of the aquarium’s 40,000 fish on the lower level. A daily highlight is feeding time, when guests can watch as divers go below the surface to interact with marine life. ff the coast of an ibar is Pemba Island, which is home to The Manta Resort. A two-minute boat ride from the beach, the resort’s Underwater oom is a three-level suite offering coral reef views from its submerged bedroom. After lounging on the roof to take in the night sky, guests decamp to the bedroom to view Indian Ocean wonders illuminated by underwater spotlights.

UNDERWATER SOJOURNS

Journey Beyond, which owns and operates 13 tourism brands across Australia, attracts serious divers to Queensland’s stunning Whitsunday Islands, home to the company’s Reefsuites. pened in 201 , the first underwater accommodations in the country offer unprecedented access to the dazzling underwater world of the reat arrier eef. Moored offshore on a pontoon at Hardy Reef, 40 nautical miles from Airlie Beach, the Reefsuites offers a plethora of aquatic adventures, and guests can take a scenic helicopter flight to see the famous eart eef. French cruise line Ponant, known for its world-class service and gastronomy, has launched the world’s first multisensory underwater lounge, Blue Eye, which enables guests to see, hear, and feel the sights and sounds of the ocean. ffered on each of the six Ponant Explorer ships, lue Eye was designed by acques ougerie, a rench architect who specializes in underwater habitats, and was inspired by Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Located seven feet beneath the water line, Blue Eye resembles a submarine attached to the ship, albeit one made from 19 layers of clear steel, making it stronger than the ship’s hull. Digital screens adorn the walls projecting images filmed live by three underwater cameras strategically placed to capture spectacles, and the sound system, developed by a music composer and sound design expert, broadcasts a natural symphony across a three-mile radius using underwater microphones. Capping off the immersive experience, body listening sofas discreetly vibrate in unison with the streaming aquatic acoustics to create an underwater encounter guests can see, hear, and feel. Perhaps the planet’s most notable underwater restaurant, Under is

located on Norway’s craggy Lindesnes coast. The architecturally striking complex is angled 1 feet below the icy waters of the North Sea. Head chef Nicolai Ellitsgaard’s Immersion tasting menu features nearly 20 seasonally inspired dishes, with a focus on locally caught Norwegian seafood. Sustain-

ability is built into the restaurant itself, as the rough concrete exterior attracts limpets and kelp, gradually forming an artificial reef. Diners and visiting researchers study the biology and behavior of the abundant cold-water marine life via panoramic views of the North Atlantic seabed. 15

he innate character, the unique graining, the colors that take their cue from the earth—there’s T so much to love about natural stone. Using it throughout your home, whether iterated for countertops, walls, flooring, or accents adds a singular beauty that can’t be replicated. “No two pieces of stone will ever match completely, as veining and color are all made by Mother Nature,” says Gioi Tran, founder and principal designer of San Francisco-based design firm Applegate Tran nteriors. Each type of stone has a distinctive range of natural patterns all its own. For a cleaner look, you’ll want stones with more uniform or solid backgrounds. For a complex appearance choose stones with scattered veining, says Mary Dimichino, senior designer at akes ropp cabinetry in ew ork. The finish, whether polished or honed, also impacts the appearance of natural stone. t can transform a surface’s texture, color, and reflectivity, she says. And because of its inherent imperfections, natural stone is forgiving—the more flaws, the more interesting the look. But perhaps its most useful quality is durability. “Natural stone is hardwearing and provides a durable surface for flooring, kitchens, and bathrooms while also relatively being easy to clean, hygienic, and nontoxic,” says Maneli Wilson of Maneli Wilson nteriors in ew ork. And it’s entirely environmentally friendly. t does not require any artificial processes or chemicals for manufacturing, unlike many other man-made engineered building materials,” she says. GRANITE

NATURAL WONDERS THESE STONES ADD A DURABLE, UNIQUE, AND BEAUTIFUL TOUCH TO ANY ROOM THEY’RE USED IN

One of the strongest of all-natural stone varieties, granite is a low-maintenance option that’s heatand scratch-resistant, making it ideal for outdoor and high-tra c spaces such as laundry rooms, mudrooms, and kitchens, Wilson says. Many types of granite are speckled with flecks of color, while others have veining and swirls similar to marble. Made of many types of crystals, each slab of granite has unique coloring and veining and is often sold in shades of white, beige, black, blue, green, or gray, Dimichino says. t’s great for kitchen counters and backsplashes, fireplace surrounds, and in tiles as a feature wall, Tran says. “While granite was looked down upon for decades, it is finally having a well-deserved comeback,” says Phillip Thomas, founder and principal of Phillip Thomas nc., a design firm in ew ork City. have had a number of commissions lately that specifically ask for granite. ew discoveries in granites that have the same qualities of quartz and marble are definitely driving this resurgence, he says. t has incredible depth and texture and is warm underfoot.” Before working with natural stone, Wilson recommends obtaining stone samples to check for color, or actually visiting the stone yards themselves to see the stone in person. Color, veining, and natural characteristics will vary from slab to slab,” she says. She also suggests having any stone surfaces resealed once every six months to ensure longevity.

TRAVERTINE

A porous limestone sedimentary rock, travertine has a uniform look and feel with its characteristic pores and pits gracing its surface. Depending on the variety of travertine, these pits can be small and sporadic or very large and frequent. The colors of travertine are more neutral than other types of natural stone, and they range from ivories and creams to darker taupes or browns. “Color swirls and waves throughout [travertine] bring energy to a space and lend a more modern aesthetic, says oung uh, interior designer, Cosentino Design Alliance based in New York. Travertine can also be iterated in various finishes from honed and polished to brushed and tumbled. “It’s the most suitable material for damp or humid environments, cladding walls, fireplaces, and bathrooms, since it’s naturally porous and breathable,” Wilson says. t is also a great choice to use around swimming pools and bathrooms and shower floors, as unpolished travertine does not become slippery when wet,” she says.

ONYX

A type of marble, onyx comes in varying degrees of patterns and a rainbow of colors, including popular hues like jade, mint, light pink, and warm tan. Tran loves the glamour and translucency of the material and uses it for feature walls, bathrooms, counters, and even furniture. “The veining, variety of colors, and vibrancy make this material genuinely spectacular; it’s perfect to be backlit as either a feature wall, powder room vanity, or even under a bar counter,” he says. “A unique attribute of onyx is that it’s translucent and can be backlit for a wow effect, Wilson says. owever,

the downside is that it is also very soft and prone to cracking. It should be used selectively to ensure it stays away from areas of high tra c and frequent use, she says. It’s typically featured as an accent. “Its translucent quality, warm color tones, and beautiful veining can be stunning in the right application,” says Donna Mondi, founder and principal, Donna Mondi Interior Design in Chicago. It’s pricey, “but perfect for a floating vanity or accent wall insert. “It is so beautiful and unique that it’s almost like lining your home in jewelry,” Thomas says. “I love to use onyx in bathrooms because it gives the space a warm, luxurious glow.”

Terrazzo is a composite material that uses chips of natural stones such as marble, granite, quartz, glass, or shell that are combined with epoxy or cement. And it’s extremely resilient and durable. “Typically poured in place for floors, the price tag is high, but you can find many options of premade terra o in tile formats which are a great way to incorporate it into bathrooms and kitchens,” Mondi says. With its wide range of colors and patterns, terrazzo provides an abundance of design flexibility. Terra o is low maintenance, nonporous, and incredibly durable, making it ideal for flooring applications in both residential and commercial spaces, Wilson says. Since it’s made of recycled glass and stone chips, it also makes for a highly eco-friendly material option, she adds. And it can be customi ed to fit any color plan and precast into a multitude of shapes to create furniture and cabinets, Tran says. “Because it’s a composite material, you can mix in different colors and insert all sorts of stones and metals,” Thomas says. “Based on 18th-century Venetian pavement, terrazzo has come a long way and can be custom poured, shaped, or even made into tiles that can be chic and elegant for inside pools and bathrooms,” Tran says. 17

CUE THE COLOR

When considering the hue, your selection should be driven by the home’s character and architectural style, says Vancouver-based designer tephanie rown. enerally speaking, a simple color palette of one to two colors helps moderni e most homes and more complex color combinations of three or more lend themselves to more traditional homes, especially if you are trying to highlight various details and moldings, she says. The secret to painting your home’s exterior is more than just finding the right color; it’s finding the right color combination, says Mike Mundwiller, end user product experience manager at enjamin Moore. To narrow down your color choices, build an exterior palette around the elements of the house that won’t change, such as roofing materials and stone or brick components, he says. Color choice can also be a product of your surroundings. ue Wadden, director of color marketing at herwin-Williams, recommends first looking at the colors your neighbors have chosen for their homes and avoid using those exact same shades. Choose a color that complements—a curb appeal trick that will benefit you and your neighbors, she says. And look at the location. A dark brown house with green trim would not look great near the beach, but would be very happy in the mountains or a forest, ichten says. ikewise, a

gray-shingled house with white trim would not fit into a wooded area but it’s happier by the ocean, he says. rays, whites, and beiges are classics that help the siding of a house look prim and freshen up the curb appeal, Wadden says. ut there are other choices too, of course. Charcoal gray, navy, and hunter green are more popular in areas with pine trees, mountains, and sea access, while terra cotta, burlap, and rust colors dominate areas of the country in the desert, she says. Dark, saturated hues, such as Tricorn lack, ron re, and rbane ron e, have been trending for exteriors in recent months, Wadden says. ot only do these colors pair beautifully with a home’s surrounding greenery, they also help create a focal point when used on a front door or shutters. And you don’t even need to paint a whole house to make an impact. Painting your front door is one of the easiest and quickest ways to boost curb appeal. or a classic and elegant look, Wadden suggests a bold navy blue, or, for a door that really stands out, a jeweltoned blue green or even a deep pink. ALL THE TRIMMINGS

Trims are an important finishing touch—much like an accessory is to an outfit. They add a layered look to your home, Woodhouse says. Wadden advises making sure your accent, trim, and siding colors are varied enough to discern them from each

other, unless you’re purposely going for a monochromatic look. The shades you choose can also impact how big a house feels. To make a small house seem more substantial, ichten suggests keeping the walls and trim the same color. ikewise, a massive hulking house can be made lighter and more delicate with a contrasting trim, he says. omes with the most curb appeal tend to have opposite hues of paint and trim, Mundwiller says. f your home’s exterior is painted in a lighter hue, consider a trim in a darker color, and vice versa, he suggests. PREP TO PERFECTION

The outcome of any painting project is only as good as the preparation you put into it. Everything needs to be washed, cleaned, and sanded and any loose paint or damaged or rotten wood should be replaced before starting. A good primer will render the surface more uniform and, because of this, the topcoat has a better chance to adhere to the surface, which ultimately results in longer coating life expectancy, Watson says. Timing of the work is important, too. Check the weather forecast. Paint dries faster in warmer temperatures, lower humidity, and when it’s sunny, Watson says. or best performance, avoid painting in direct sun, and try for a material temperature above degrees ahrenheit, Watson says.

SUSAN KELECHI WATSON’S FAVORITE THINGS THE THIS IS US ACTRESS ON WHAT SHE TREASURES IN HER NEW YORK AND LOS ANGELES HOMES

BANANA LEAF WALLPAPER

“I chose it because the banana leaf is a Jamaican symbol,” says the actress. “It’s a part of my heritage that’s always been there in the background. The wallpaper was a way to bring a piece of myself into the interior design of my home. I wanted to have an accent wall, and this paper gives a modern flavor to the dining room.”

usan Kelechi Watson may have called RESIDE® from the Los Angeles set of This Is Us, but her heart, she says, is in Manhattan. “I love New York and New York is my home,” says the actress, who plays the whip smart, level-headed Beth Pearson. “I consider L.A. to be where I work, and I’m lucky to get to work in a really beautiful place.” Keeping it bicoastal can be a little chaotic, admits the award-winning actress, but she’s used to it. “The only thing I really bring with me when I travel back and forth is some clothes. I don’t know if I’ll ever master it, but I’ve adapted,” she says. On both coasts, her homes are cozy and well-curated. She gravitates toward color-mixing, dramatic artwork, and an uncluttered layout. “I have yellow sofas, and blue velvet chairs in the L.A. dining room. And I love deep reds. I love the richness of color in a space,” she says.

PHONE STAND

“My This Is Us co-star Chris Sullivan gave this to me and I use it every single day. It’s so helpful to not have to keep your phone in your hands,” Watson says. “I use it all the time, so it was a really great gift. We do a lot of Zooming—a lot— and it’s a great hands-free way to keep your phone pretty stable.”

SCULPTURE

'HEY GIRL HEY' POSTER

“I did a project with HomeGoods and they set me up with this—they knew I liked it so much. A nice guy who was working with them reframed it for me and I love having it on my wall,” Watson says. “It’s perfect because it’s just a saying that my friends use, like, ‘Oh, hey girl, hey.’ If somebody comes out looking super cute, you might be, ‘Oh, hey girl, hey.’ Or I’ll use it if I haven’t seen someone in a while.”

“I love this cool sculpture. I keep a wall where I have these beautiful framed African bowls and other objects. I like to have symbols of love around the house and this sculpture just felt like a beautiful symbol of love,” she says. “I stumbled upon it and now I keep it at my place in L.A.”

CREATURE COMFORT ALICIA ADAMS ALPACA’S PIECES TAKE COZINESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Alpaca wool, shown here in different shades, is softer than cashmere.

Alicia Adams Alpaca (4)

hen designer Alicia Adams and her husband were looking for an enterprise conducive to raising their growing family, such as olive oil or a vineyard, a chance encounter with an alpaca led them to bravely embark on an exciting new adventure: breeding the rare Suri alpacas in New York’s Hudson Valley. A few years and some 200 alpacas later, the alpaca wool piling up had to be addressed. er first stop was to a local wool and sheep festival where various spinners were tasked with making yarn from the alpaca fleece. Adams knew only that the yarn had to be super soft, with no itchiness; the flat, thin scales of alpaca help avoid the itch factor. Even though the samples came back too scratchy, Adams pressed on. Alpaca wool, or fleece, is softer than cashmere, warmer than wool, lightweight but durable, and naturally hypoallergenic. Because of its natural, silky luster, it was once reserved for royalty. The ancient ncans treasured the fleece, calling it the fiber of the gods. Going straight to the source, Adams journeyed to Peru, the native land of alpacas, where she discovered some small, family-run mills that utilized the pre-Incan tradition of working alpaca fibers into the soft, lustrous yarn she had been searching for. With her quest complete and designs for sumptuous throw blankets, baby sets, capes, and clothing for the whole family in mind, Adams created Alicia Adams Alpaca, a collection of high-end textiles for the home and family using 100% baby alpaca wool, one of the world’s most sustainable and luxurious fibers.

Adams says she always recommends the classic throw as a versatile baby gift for both mother and child. The bestselling throw comes in over 90 natural and eco-dyed colors such as English rose, citrus, and oceanside. “The mom can wrap it around her and the baby, and then put it in the stroller,” Adams says. “The baby will grow up and always have the blanket in their nursery room, in their kid’s room, and in college, too.” Adams’ favorite item in the collection is the Buckley throw, which features a pattern of enlarged cables with a twisting cable design. “The artist that makes these, it’s just incredible, the quality and the talent behind the Buckley,” Adams says. “It’s all handknitted. Both sides.” An alpaca throw, if treated well, will last a lifetime. “It’s not going to fall apart like other fibers, Adams says. “It’s a very sustainable and hearty fiber. Alpaca wool has a high tensile strength, which means it takes a lot of force to break it. Thanks to the natural curl in the fur, the fiber has high elasticity, which means sweaters and pillow covers will maintain their shape. Of course, demand for all things cozy increased during the pandemic. “A lot of people were redoing their homes and getting all comfy, thinking maybe they could upgrade their wornout cushions now that everyone’s home all the time,” Adams says. “The pillows and bedspreads have definitely increased in popularity.” In the 11 years since she began her journey, Adams continues to strike alpaca gold. The newest additions to the home collection are soft, handcrafted alpaca rugs. These flat-woven rugs

feature a natural shine and luster, and are available in minimalist, modern prints or in all natural colors. Custom rugs are available up to 14’ x 20’; standard sizes include 4’ x 6’ and 5’ x 8’. Alpacas are born in one of 24 natural shades, from snow white to jet black, with grays and fawns in between. “The alpaca is the only fiber animal that produces that color, and so many different colors,” Adams says. Adams’ modern design aesthetic combined with real world practicality is at the heart of the business. As more and more people are staying close to home, Alicia Adams Alpaca is continuing to focus on luxurious, handcrafted, and sustainable products that will last for years and years. “What I love most about my job is that it’s a family business,” Adams says. “I love creating beautiful things with alpaca, and then making people happy with it.”

CURVES AHEAD ON -THE- RISE DESIGNER LAQUAN SMITH TALKS GAGA, PUMA, AND EMPOWERING WOMEN THROUGH FASHION

LaQuan Smith designs clothes that make women feel great.

or designer LaQuan Smith the past two years have been all about Fgrowth, opportunity, and dreams

coming true. Which is something for a guy who—just over 10 years ago—was giving away his leggings on the street. Back then, the eager 20-year-old Queens native roamed the Meatpacking District, SoHo, and the Upper East Side spotting stylish women and gifting them leggings from his backpack. The leggings were vibrant, textural, and, as the lucky women could plainly see, eye-catching—he was often wearing a pair himself. The giveaway gambit paid off. is fledgling brand gained bu , and once Lady Gaga showed an interest, well, things took off. Today, the label, sold at tony online sites like Fwrd and Farfetch, is about much more than leggings. Fans, including trendsetter celebs Beyoncé, Rihanna, ennifer ope , and ylie enner, flock to him for a saucy mix of catsuits, superslit dresses, and high-gloss motorcycle pants. n 2020 he launched a plus-si e collection with 11 Honoré, and dove into swimwear. Last year, he snagged a coveted spot as a CFDA/Vogue Fashion und finalist receiving grant money and mentorship), and nearly broke the internet when Hailey Bieber wore his beige midriff-baring halter dress to meet French President Emmanuel Macron. This year will see the release of his hotly anticipated collaboration with sports juggernaut Puma. Smith, now 33, spoke to RESIDE® from his studio in Long Island City. Despite a pandemic, you’ve achieved quite a lot in the last two years.

It’s been a whirlwind. Considering what we’ve gone through, persevering through this period of uncertainty was a blessing and an eye-opener. I studied my consumers, trying to understand what they wanted. People also took the initiative to support designers of color and small, independent businesses, so there were many factors that allowed my business to grow. I’m blessed. I have a great team behind me that’s creative, smart, and passionate about what we’re doing.

Greg Swales (3)

You’ve come a long way.

I remember back in the day I’d have a deskside [meeting] at Vogue and the first questions they’d ask were Where are you sold and Where did you study?” I felt discouraged, because when you’re an emerging designer, you don’t always have those accolades. [After

attending New York’s High School for Art and Design, Smith was rejected by fashion schools, so he skipped college and started his own brand.] I focused on what works best for me, taking my time. Obviously, winning the CFDA/ Vogue Fashion Fund comes with great opportunities, getting mentorships from incredible businesspeople. I feel like I’m in college now. But I’m still focused on creating luxury experiences for women who embody the LaQuan aesthetic, which is this idea of being unapologetically sexy. Cornering the market on sexy is smart. Sexy is never going out of style.

reali e my clothes are not for everybody. When utili e the word sexy, I think sometimes people take it out of context. It makes people feel a little uncomfortable, perhaps because they don’t feel sexy within themselves. But it’s really just about strong female empowerment. t’s a sexy confidence, a level of assurance. My consumer knows exactly who she is. She loves her body, she loves to shop, she loves to look good, to celebrate—that’s who I’m targeting. What can we expect from your upcoming Puma collection?

I want to bring a chic, fun, sexy aesthetic to athleisure. They’re giving me full

creative control. It will be an assortment of outerwear, hoodies, leggings, crop tops, bralettes, and sweatpants, to hit the gym and then meet your girlfriends for brunch afterward. There’s a demographic of women out there who will really enjoy putting on a pair of Puma–LaQuan Smith leggings and a crop top, thinking, look good in my gym clothes.” So you’ve come full circle—back to leggings.

Women come to me now for an entire outfit, but leggings is what launched my business, what I was known for. I’d pull all-nighters, making leggings, then sneak into runway shows or Fashion Week parties—or give them to women on the street. After a year of hustling and promoting these leggings, someone came up to me and said, look, if you’re serious about this business, you need to take a year off and make a full collection. So that’s what I did. I saved my money. My grandparents, my mom, my friends, everyone supported me, giving me money to put out my first collection. I was 21. It was a dream come true. It shows you how New York works, how it’s such a melting pot. You can be rubbing shoulders with anyone. There are so many incredible opportunities right in front of you and you don’t even know it.

The designer, shown above, was selling leggings from New York City streets just 10 years ago. Now he counts celebrities among his fans.

pickups included, it was 76% in 2020. And increasingly luxury buyers want their SUVs to have three rows of seats and accommodate six or seven passengers. In fact, there were at least 40 three-row models on the market in 2021. Unfortunately, some of the crossovers skimp on space for the third row. And access is sometimes not great. The larger SUVs, reviewed here, have better accommodations in what used to be called “the way back” when station wagons were king. Here’s a closer look at some high-end third-row models:

AUDI Q7

This is one of the sportier three-row luxury SUVs, with two turbocharged engines to choose from: a 248-horsepower 34

four cylinder or a 335-horsepower V-6 (coupled to an eight-speed automatic). They all have Quattro all-wheel drive, and both four-wheel steering and adaptive air suspension are optional. The executive package is a useful addition, adding adaptive cruise, lane-keeping assist, and four-zone climate control, plus heated and ventilated front seats (the rears are just heated). There is 69.6 cubic feet of cargo area behind the front seats. BMW X7

Consumers can opt for a perfectly adequate 335-horsepower turbo six, but they can also go over the top with 612 horsepower in the Alpina XB7 V-8 variant. Expect plenty of luxury features, including heated seats, a panoramic sunroof, a digital dash panel, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen. The third row (accessed by moving

the power-operated second row) could be more commodious, but the other seating is thronelike. There is 90.4 cubic feet behind the first-row seats, but if you leave all three rows in place there won’t be a lot of cargo area in the back (12.8 cubic feet). CADILLAC ESCALADE

The big Escalade was redesigned for 2021, and buyers can choose between a standard model and the long-wheelbase E V that offers more room for the third row. Either way, you’ll be swathed in wood and leather, traditional touches that contrast with the state-of-the-art infotainment and digital displays. Most Escalades will be powered by a 6.2-liter, V-8, but General Motors also makes a three-liter turbo-diesel six available. SuperCruise autonomous driving isn’t available on the 2022 model, because of the chip shortage. The top-level

Sport Platinum model costs more than $100,000, but it adds 16-way power front seats with massage, soft-close doors, and a 36-speaker AKG sound system, plus self-parking, adaptive cruise, and head-up display. There is a large 109.1 cubic feet of cargo space. INFINITI QX80

This ultraquiet V- flagship for the brand was updated for 2021, with seating for eight. Highlights include semianiline leather seats, a suede-type headliner, dark burl wood, and 22-inch wheels. There’s 95.1 cubic feet with the second and third row folded, and the ability to haul 8,500 pounds. That third row folds electrically, though the process is slow. LEXUS GX

The name exus doesn’t shout off road,” but the GX—with body-onframe construction and adjustable suspension—is quite capable where the trail ends. The four-wheel drive is always on, with a trade-off in fuel economy (just 16 miles per gallon combined). The one engine is a 4.6-liter, 301-horsepower V-8. The GX may be rough and ready, but it’s quiet and refined inside, with a wood-and-leather ambience. There’s a cargo capacity of 4. cubic feet behind the first row. MERCEDES - BENZ GLS

arrives in 2024. Cargo space behind the first row in the long-wheelbase model is a very credible 92.9 cubic feet.

RANGE ROVER

“We sell vehicles that people connect to on an emotional level,” chief creative o cer erry Mc overn said at the introduction of the all-new, fifthgeneration 2022 Range Rover in New York. The Land Rover brand’s No. 1 market is the U.S., and that suggests certain capabilities. Not only does the ange over offer a roomy third-row seat in long-wheelbase models, but there’s also a pair of fold-down perches for tailgating or tea parties. Choose the Tailgate Event Suite and there is added audio features and lighting in the back, as well as tailored leather cushions. The powertrain options include a 523-horsepower twin-turbo V-8 and a 423-horsepower plug-in hybrid (arriving as a 2023 model). The battery electric Range Rover, on the same platform,

VOLVO XC90

Volvo is heading for an all-electric future, and these days its gas engines all have four cylinders. There are three of those available, including a 400-horsepower T8 plug-in hybrid with two electric motors and 18 miles of all-electric range. This is one of the safest vehicles on the road, with a five-star crash rating. All the accident protection adds weight, but the PHEV drivetrain still attains a 27 miles per gallon combined fuel economy rating. The XC90’s interior is lovely and functional. The higher Inscription trim, worthy of a check box, adds Nappa leather massage seats, Harman Kardon audio, digital gauges, and lane keeping. There’s also excellent cargo space at . cubic feet behind the first row.

The BMW X7, shown above, has thronelike seating upfront. The Mercedes-Benz GLS, shown below, was redesigned for 2020 and has a spacious third row.

The GLS receives kudos for its very accommodating third row. Your Boy

Scout troop will be smiling when they arrive at the Merit Badge awards. Redesigned for 2020, the GLS now has a high-performance variant, the $133,000 twin-turbo AMG GLS 63 S, with 600 horsepower. But all the GLS models are capable and luxurious. The base GLS 450 model is equipped with a 362-horsepower turbo six with a nine-speed transmission, all-wheel drive, adaptive air suspension, heated and ventilated front seats, a sunroof, and other amenities. Captain’s chairs are optional, but reduce the passenger cabin to six passengers. There is a maximum 84.7 cubic feet of storage.

HAUTE HOME HAPPY HOURS HOW TO STYLE AN AT- HOME BAR — FROM CLUBROOMS AND COCKTAIL LOUNGES TO TAPROOMS AND TAVERNS By Iyna Bort Caruso

Sothebysrealty.com

s if we need another reason to love life at home, the home bar is enjoying a renaissance. Haute happy hours are the new splurge. For decades, home bars have routinely taken over basements, displaced spare bedrooms, and usurped garages. But they’ve evolved, says Deirdre O’Connell, chief executive for Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty in Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. Bars are enjoying greater prominence in our homes. “They’ve moved from the basement to the main level,” she says. They’re now front and center in living rooms, family rooms, and busy hallways. Imbibing in style starts with imbuing the space with warmth and hospitality. Some home bars channel the vibe of a favorite lounge, taproom, or saloon. Others take design inspiration from their surroundings. On the Gold Coast of Long Island, N.Y., the sophisticated yet welcoming bar of a Cold Spring Harbor estate is an open-concept entertainment destination. It includes a glass-enclosed wine room, home theater, card table, pool table, and even a massage room. “Anything you need to be entertained is there. It’s extraordinary,” O’Connell says. Regardless of whether the aesthetic is playful, whimsical, retro, or dramatic, the goal is the same: to create a functional, flexible, and inviting spot to wind down with a glass of wine after a long day, or entertain a roomful of guests with their drinks of choice. Good design enlivens the space, elevates the experience and is reflective of lifestyle, ’Connell says. And that’s even more important now, when home has become a destination as opposed to just the place to lay your head.”

VISITORS ARE INVITED TO PONDER ETHICAL QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR THE PLANET AND THEMSELVES he uture Museum, an offshoot of Munich’s Deutsches Museum, T opened its doors in September 2021,

The exterior of the new Deutsches Museum, located in a historic district in Munich with views of the Pegnitz River.

inviting the public to consider what lies ahead for our planet, its cities, and ourselves. The Nuremberg-based museum was several years in the making, with planning beginning in 2014 that included lengthy discussion of how to best address the thorny questions that concern our future. “There was a lot of political discussion before opening,” says Sebastian inst dt, press o cer for Deutsches Museum Nürnberg. “But it’s absolutely the time to deal with such subjects. We

have tremendous challenges to master.” The museum is located in a historic district with views of the Pegnitz River; inside is an expansive, industrial space that extends over three floors, with exposed concrete serving as a backdrop for the innovations on display. The exhibition area spans 3,000 square meters and addresses five key themes Work and Daily Life, Body and Mind, City System, Earth System, and Space and Time. Many of these themes are presented via prototypes and encourage interaction. Take, for instance, the “Telemax plus” robot, in the Work and Daily Life

section, which allows guests to use a robotic arm to attempt to defuse a bomb, or the model space station in the Space and Time exhibit, where visitors can experience what it’s like to steer a Mars rover. Other objects on display invite contemplation, like a huge globe that shows data on climate and air tra c. Unifying these thematic areas is the question of the divide between science and fiction Are the ideas explored by the exhibits feasible and already under way, or do they belong to the realm of fantasy? Is the line between the two always so clear? What would it be like if one of the futures envisioned by novels, film, and television—like the rise of artificial intelligence supplanting human beings—came to pass To this end, some exhibits incorporate objects from beloved works of science fiction, like Star Trek’s “medical tricorder,” a scanning device used by characters in the series to diagnose illnesses. Aptly enough, at the museum’s opening, Bavaria’s Premier Markus Söder used a lightsaber to cut through the red ribbon. Exhibits are also intended to provoke conversation about the ethical dimensions of possible scientific and technological advancements. The Future Museum asks visitors to consider, for instance, the morality of using “genetic scissors” to manipulate human D A, and ponder how the cities of the future might accommodate growing populations. “We try to spark an ethical debate, by looking into how our ideas develop, and the movement between technology, research, and culture that inspires the economy,” Linstädt says. Visitors are further challenged through an interactive game they can play as they move through the museum. They are given bracelets that allow them to collect the different technologies they encounter in the exhibits, but there’s a twist They can take only 25 technologies with them into their personal future.

LOOKING AHEAD AT NUREMBERG’S FUTURE MUSEUM

t’s not only a way to challenge guests to prioriti e possible advancements, but also a method for letting the museum staff know which prototypes are the most interesting to the public. These insights will help to direct future exhibits and dialogues. Another method of engagement comes via the future communicators — students who have been trained to interact with visitors on the museum’s many topics. t’s quite a unique thing for ermany—we encourage interaction and discussion right away, inst dt says. The space’s structure further facilitates open discussion, via a central area called the forum that can accommodate meetings of hundreds of guests, where the museum will host talks. And exhibits don’t shy away from the darker possible outcomes of human endeavor and our dependence on technology, delving into the ramifications

of climate change, as well as presenting an interactive station that explores the effects of long periods of power failures on society—fitting for a museum whose opening was delayed by a pandemic that seemed straight out of science fiction. o far, many of the uture Museum’s visitors have been domestic, due to continuing travel restrictions. owever, more international visitors are expected soon, and inclusivity is prioriti ed via apps that provide information about exhibits in several languages. penness as to what may lie ahead for humanity is key, as the museum continues to evolve. We don’t want to tell people how it’s going to be—there’s not only one possible future, inst dt says. “So we want to show visitors a range of possibilities, and make sure it’s their decision as individuals and as members of society what kinds of developments we want to have in the end.

ARCHITECTURE THAT CONVEYS THE SPIRIT OF A PLACE HONG KONG - BASED ARCHITECT NELSON CHOW ON THE IMPORTANCE OF CONTEXT AND CREATING AN EXPERIENCE Hong Kong-based architect Chow, 2021 was a busy year. FHisorNelson award-winning studio, NC Design

space-themed Faye, the sky-high club you designed that opened in April 2021 in Hong Kong’s Lan Kwai Fong district?

You’re known for using architecture to tell stories. What’s the story behind the

One of your other 2021 projects— Memento, the pop-up for Louis Vuitton’s Objets Nomades collection of travelinspired furniture—transformed two floors of the historic Pedder Building in Hong Kong into an imaginary seaside mansion. What inspired that design?

& Architecture Ltd., completed several high-profile projects that made global headlines. Chow, who was raised in Hong Kong and Canada, has a master’s degree in architecture from the University of Waterloo in Canada but also a menswear tailoring certificate from ew York’s Fashion Institute of Technology. Before starting his own studio, he worked in the ew ork City o ce of the international design and concept firm Avro , then the Edge Design Institute in Hong Kong. His innovative residential and commercial spaces offer sophisticated references to pop culture and history and also act as experiential entertainment. Here, he talks about his inspirations and ideas, and what he’s planning next.

Nelson Chow, shown above, designed Faye, an outer-space-themed nightclub, shown at top, that opened in 2021 in Hong Kong.

Faye was inspired by Space Carnival, which is in the penthouse of the California Tower, an iconic skyscraper in Lan Kwai Fong. Its predecessor, Volar, had been an institution in the district for over a decade. It had carnival ponies, which people would always take photos with. The owner really wanted to bring that back. So that’s how the carnival theme started. Given its location at the penthouse and the panoramic view of the city, we wanted to reinterpret a carnival and give it a futuristic twist and imagined it as a spaceship. This kind of story gives meaning to any design.

It was important to bring an element of Hong Kong into the design, so we imagined the space as a seaside mansion. It’s pulled apart like pieces of a puzzle, each representing a special unique moment. References to old mansions found in Hong Kong are reinterpreted through architectural details in a contemporary manner. Visitors navigate between these different moments. Memento also had a sensory component, which is a rather novel feature in architecture.

There are 10 rooms, and each entices a different sensory experience. We wanted to make the experience truly immersive. The living room mimics the feeling of morning in spring, so there are two windows in it, and each of them has artificial sunlight behind, and a slight wind blows the curtain in a slow motion. In the meditation lounge, we used metal with a ripple texture to create light reflections on the wall mimicking the feeling of water, and we played a gong sound to give a meditative feeling. In the garden, we implemented green walls and bird sounds and infused it with a floral scent. Several of your projects provide a cinematic sense of mystery. In the nightclub PDT (Please Don’t Tell) in Hong Kong, guests slip up a clandestine staircase to gain access to a private bar via a vintage telephone booth. And in the nightclub Foxglove in Hong Kong, visitors touch a carved silver handle to enter its exclusive inner sanctum. What do these features add to the experience?

PDT has a long tradition back in New York of having a phone booth, so when it came to designing its second outpost at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong hotel, we needed to respect the original identities while developing

a new narrative that suits the site. We developed a story about a butler having a secret drinking spot in the hotel room accessed via a sophisticated phone booth. Once the visitor dials the number, the curtain rotates and the audience sees the dressing mirror hidden behind the curtain—it’s a phone booth that doubles as a changing room for the butler—and the mirrored doors then open up to reveal the secret bar. oxglove is a hidden ja club behind an umbrella shop, carrying the famous ox umbrellas from England, so the outside looks like a museum for the umbrellas, which are famed for their decorative animal-head handles. When visitors press the handle of the fox-head umbrella, the lighting dims and one of the display cabinets opens to reveal a cruise-ship-like interior, bringing the audience back in time to an earlier era where ja was played in cruise cabins. Your work, which you’ve described as the intersection of art and architecture,

has been the subject of many articles. Is there anything about your work that all the writers have missed?

Everything to me is equally important, whether it is the architecture, interiors, furniture, lighting, art, as they all contribute to the overall experience, so unlike some architects who may look down on the role of interior designers, I see the importance of all these mediums in a project. My training as an architect has provided me with a strong foundation in designing buildings and the urban environment, and menswear tailoring has helped me shift my focus into looking at the finer details. Your projects also tend to reference the luxuries of the past.

Each period has its own look and feel, and we usually begin by researching all sorts of reference images we like for the project—whether it’s furniture, space, or art—then develop a design that is relevant.

At Foxglove in Hong Kong, a luxe bar, shown at top, stands behind what appears to be an umbrella shop, shown at bottom.

Walk us through your design process.

We start by listening to the client and looking at the site. Good design should have a connection to its surroundings, so the designer should try to understand the spirit of the place. Mrs Pound is a stamp shop with a restaurant behind, but it was designed to be like a stamp shop as it is sited in a neighborhood of antique shops, and there is a street just selling stamps. And Timber House is nested around a hillside, so we created a treehouse to enhance the feeling of cabin living. After we come up with a story, we then do research on what is relevant, so basically anything visitors see is designed holistically. 47

EACH PIECE IS PERSONAL ILARIA ICARDI IS PAYING HOMAGE TO HER FAMILY’S FINE JEWELRY BUSINESS

fter over two decades working in couture, Ilaria Icardi pivoted A right before the pandemic. It was time,

Ilaria Icardi, shown above, recently pivoted from couture to launch her jewelry collection, following in the footsteps of her family.

she felt, to launch her own jewelry collection that pays homage to her father, Umberto Icardi, a well-known goldsmith who died in 2016 but was renowned for Emmeti, a fine jewelry business in Valenza, Italy, that he started in the 1960s with his brothers. Emmeti manufactured pieces for such brands as Cartier and Tiffany Co. It took her a few decades to return to a business she knew so well. “I grew up breathing jewelry, but I wanted to study fashion,” says Icardi, who studied in Milan in the early 1990s before joining several fashion houses in an illustrious career that included top positions at Yves Saint Laurent under Tom Ford and five years at Celine. n 201 , she joined Victoria Beckham and served as design director until she decided to

shift to fashion consulting alongside her burgeoning jewelry business. “The time is right for me to spend time with my father’s archive and reset, redesign, and bring these jewelry memories to life,” she says. We spoke to Icardi via Zoom from her London home to discuss what it was like launching right before the pandemic, why she’s drawn to designing “bold and chunky” pieces such as her lapis lazuli signet rings and spaceman pendants, and what she hopes customers will love most about her collection. Can you tell us about starting your company right before the world shut down?

When I launched, it was four weeks before the entire pandemic started. I was like “oh my God what am I going to do now?”—this is like Thelma and ouise driving down the cliff. ut my website was already live and I was so

surprised, but people were very interested in jewelry during the pandemic. Once I got some press, the orders started coming in fast. And, while I couldn’t travel to the factory in Italy due to the lockdowns, it helped that my younger brother, who is a gemologist, works with me, and together we found a way to manage logistics and shipping.

Creating my collection is emotional and brings me joy. My father always wanted me to be involved with the business and I always rejected it in a way. Since he passed away, I believe this is now my way to communicate with him. I know he’s looking down and smiling.

Since then you’ve launched two collections.

My chain is from my father’s archives. It is the chain he wore all the time. I’m inspired all the time by my father’s archives and all of the pieces he made for himself. I go home to my mom’s house where the archives are and it’s so amazing. All of the pieces are described by hand and there’s a technical card for every piece. My father was meticulous about writing everything by hand.

I have two mini collections that are very small, very focused, and made to order. I want to build up the brand because at the moment I’m only online. Being in direct communication with customers has been so amazing. It seems very important for you to share the story behind each piece you design.

What inspires your designs?

So many things. It can be something I see when I’m sitting on the [London Underground] to a beautiful book or an exhibition. I recently went with my daughter to the Victoria and Albert Museum to see an “Alice in Wonderland” exhibit. We ended up in another section and stayed for one hour in front of some statues. I go to the Portobello oad flea market on riday mornings. I know lots of people there who are fantastic who are selling and dealing with vintage. I always search for vintage whenever I’m traveling.

How do you go about creating a piece?

What do you want your customers to appreciate most about your pieces?

I love to work in 3-D using a waxlike resin because it enables me to do things like change the proportion of a piece. Also it really helped to work this way during the pandemic. I was stuck in London and couldn’t go to the factory, so this way when I was designing a ring, for example, I could wear it and see how

or the first time, with my collection, I design purely for myself. This has been so different for me than working for YSL and Celine. There you have to respect the DNA of the brand. The second thing I want people to know is that each piece has a soul. This truly is a labor of love.

When you buy jewelry it’s a lifetime investment. I’ve been doing a lot of engagement rings. It’s such a big responsibility and you want a piece of jewelry like this to have a story behind it, you want to have something to say about it. Between my own story and my father’s, I always have enough to say.

Is there one piece that connects you most to your father?

to reinvent sustainable luxury in the accessories sector. Customers at the time had to choose between sustainability, style, and price. “That’s when we thought we should do something,” Wang says. With Advene, Wang and Xuan, who are based in New York, created a solution: luxury accessories that are thoughtfully constructed, sustainably made, and fairly priced. Advene’s first product, the Age bag, is entirely sourced from food byproducts and is 100% traceable. Leathers are produced in a tannery certified by the Leather Working Group. This means that, from rawhide to finished leather, every step of the process is held to the highest standards of environmental impact and ethical production. There are only 13 tanneries in the world certified as such. ust think about it,” Wang says. “Only 10% of leather made in the U.S. is traceable. We’re not producing new leathers; it’s all recycled leather.” Additionally, the Age lacks plastic filling, which is commonly used to structure the silhouette of bags. Instead, the design ensures it maintains its

architectural shape. “Even though it’s a three-dimensional, sculptural shape, we can achieve it without using any fillers, Wang says. “It’s all very supple leather—the weight comes from the material itself.” It’s not just celebrities like January Jones, Hailey Bieber, and Kerry Washington who admire Advene’s dedication to fine craftsmanship, high style, and commitment to sustainability—the Age won the nascent company the 2021 iF Design Award for Excellence. “The Age bag is there to help a woman through her everyday adventure,” Xuan says. From an elegant dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant to a neighborhood bake-off or smart meetings with clients, it’s a versatile bag the duo says can easily be dressed up or down. “I wanted to create something for the modern working woman that empowers them and that gives them emotional support,” Xuan says. The Edge, Advene’s second bag, is a casual yet chic rectangular shoulder bag that tucks neatly under the shoulder. t differs from the Age, which is more feminine, uan says. “The Edge is much cooler, more unisex.” From the front, it has a distinctly edgy appearance—chic but also sharp. From the side, Xuan used tulip-shaped gussets to maintain Advene’s feminine charge. Kendall Jenner immediately picked one up in black. The two bags have slightly different personalities, Wang says. “The Age is more ladylike with its sculptural shape; you feel very special when you wear it. The Edge is perfect for anything; it’s an effortless, no-brainer companion for anything that’s still a chic way to elevate your style.” The Trench Tote, the duo’s third and latest product, was designed during the height of the pandemic. “The majority of people used to work in the o ce, but now they can work from home or in cafes,” Xuan says. “It’s much more versatile

than before.” The tote bags are made from hemp, which is four times stronger than cotton, and are durable and produced in a carbon-neutral facility powered by solar energy. It’s a very French approach to styling. “French women usually wear a small purse to carry their everyday essentials,” Xuan says, who spent time in Paris with Wang before launching Advene. “And then they use a tote for larger items.” Deliveries are 100% carbon-neutral, and Advene’s dust cloths are made from deadstock fabric from their hemp textiles supplier. Advene also incentivizes customers with a discount if they choose minimal packaging. If a customer would prefer more extensive packaging, Advene has created a Forest tewardship Council-certified gray-board box. ray board is made using recycled pulp produced from old newspapers, cardboard, and other packaging making it 100% recyclable. We want to be a destination where people can find good designs that they can use for their everyday life,” Xuan says. Wang says it’s important to keep their design approach consistent, “developing something that actually captures a daily moment for people, and then inspires them for those adventures.” Advene can do this by maintaining close relationships with its customers, according to Wang. Surveys sent to clients ask about everything from product design to future designs. As a direct-to-consumer business, feedback from the brand’s customers influences design. Advene will debut their highly anticipated crossbody bag this spring, followed by a second edition of the tote. n five years, based on our current pace, think you will see a full line of handbags and small projects, tactile objects, and also potentially some key pieces for ready to wear, or maybe collaborations with furniture,” Xuan says. “Things that we can apply our design philosophy to, and then you can enjoy it in your everyday life.”

SEED -TO -SKIN BEAUTY ESSÈNCI SKIN CARE PROMOTES RENEWAL, HEALING, WELLNESS, AND BALANCE

For Yetunde Beutler, shown on opposite page, a trip to France led to a commitment to organic skin products.

hen Yetunde Beutler embarked on a road trip through the South W of France in 2014, she had no idea that an impromptu vacation would carve out a new path, let alone an organic skin-care line. That vacation with her husband, Michael—who is the director of sustainability operations at Kering, the corporation that owns a mélange of luxury brands including Gucci and Balenciaga—would lay the groundwork for Essènci, a luxury, seed-to-skin beauty brand headquartered in Paris. While on holiday, she and Michael handpicked lavender from the fruitful fields of Provence and learned how to distill the botanical into essential oil, sparking a notion to create sustainable beauty products using French ingredients. That lavender lesson in the countryside led to research and development, and eventually, to the co-founders’ debut of Essènci. Along with her partners in France, she curated Essènci’s formulations, a process that took several years before Essènci was ready to launch in 2020. The name Essènci translates to “Essence,” in the language of Provencal—apropos because the beauty

line is rooted in the region. Beutler says the brand is about streamlining. “What does a person need to have great, beautiful skin? I don’t think you need tons of products,” she says. Beutler, 48, has an M.B.A. in sustainable management and worked for Borghese and L’Occitane en Provence. At Essènci, she oversees product development, packaging, and much more but is vocal about her husband’s expertise in sustainability and contribution to the beauty line. “I’m lucky because I have my husband who does that day to day,” she says. Science-backed, 100% organic certified, and aromatherapeutic, but with no added fragrances, Essènci’s Regenerative Collection contains natural ingredients from the South of France and Corsica, including raspberry seed, apricot kernel, wild carrot, and immortelle curry plant or talian strawflower essential oils. Its unique formula promotes renewal, healing, wellness, and balance and benefits all skin types. The first product launched is L’Immortela Elixir Bio, an aromatic serum in an elegant bottle and an “on-the-go” roll-on version for travel. According to Beutler, as an antiinflammatory and antioxidant stimulating microcirculation, L’Immortela is an excellent everyday serum, whether used alone or under a moisturizer. “I do believe that our elixir is like no other oil-based serum out there on the market today,” she says.

A hydrating face cream, Renouvèla La Crème—also available in Riche and Extra Riche depending on skin needs— will debut this year. In the future, Beutler intends to add several products, including eye cream, cleanser, and body lotion, while still keeping the collection streamlined. Beyond adhering to France’s strict regulations, perhaps Beutler’s greatest challenge is redefining the term luxury as we know it. “In my book, luxury is sustainable, diverse, and inclusive,” she writes in a post she authored on the brand’s website. As one of a few Black women steering a beauty brand, she realizes the importance of opportunity for all as well as social sustainability, a necessary companion to environmental sustainability. While Essènci champions eco-conscious beauty, the company strives to impact responsible business practices and inclusivity. All of Essènci’s employees are women. For packaging, Beutler chose to use glass instead of plastic. In addition to the environmental upside, she wanted consumers to reuse the vessels or place them as decor in their homes. The entrepreneur envisioned the containers as art, turning to the Brittany-based Japanese artist Mikio Watanabe to sketch a motif for the beautiful white porcelain bottles produced by the legendary Maison Bernardaud in Limoges. “The idea was that people would not throw them away,” she muses. “I wanted to create something beautiful as well.”

DIAMONDS OF THE KITCHEN

TRUFFLES OFFER A REAL CULINARY TREAT ometimes called “diamonds of the kitchen,” because of how rare and S valuable they can be, tru es have a dis-

tinctive aroma and rich taste. They are often associated with fine dining and Michelin-starred restaurants because of their steep price tag and their origins in gastronomic destinations of rance and taly. Tru es can cost up to thousands of dollars because they’re di cult to find, grow, and store. Depending on the type of tru e, they can smell and taste musky, garlicky, 56

sulfury, earthy, or buttery. Tru es tend to look like misshapen, roughskinned potatoes on the outside, but with a firm, yet spongy texture on the inside. CONDITIONS FOR GROWING

rowing tru es requires the perfect storm and takes a very specific type of calcareous soil and environment, not to mention that they must be foraged for, as they grow anywhere from one inch to five feet underground. nlike other

mushrooms that grow on logs or from the ground, tru es need broad-leaved trees, specifically oak, ha el, poplar, beech, or pine trees, to grow in what’s called ectomycorrhi al symbiosis. The fungi spores adhere to the roots of trees, which provide nourishment to the fungal symbiont and help them grow. Apart from alkaline soil and the presence of tree roots, scientists still haven’t had a major breakthrough in discovering the conditions to force fungi to make tru es.

Truffles, which are often served over decadent pastas or meat dishes, can cost up to thousands of dollars because they’re difficult to find, grow, and store.

The black winter truffles from Regalis Foods, shown at left, and the white truffle, shown at right, are the most valuable types of truffles on the market. The black variety has a more earthy flavor, while white ones have a nutty sweetness and garlicky funk.

Tru es are really special because they’ve never been successfully cultivated on a commercial scale, says an Purkayastha, founder of egalis oods, an online purveyor of rare and luxury gourmet foods like tru es, caviar, apanese Wagyu, uni, and exotic seafoods. ew ork-based egalis oods supplies 0 of the . .’s Michelin-starred restaurants, including famed Eleven Madison Park and e ernardin, with their tru es and other gourmet goods. They’re the last entirely wild food in existence because it grows underground and has to be found with the aid of a trained animal, says Purkayastha. That, coupled with being a seasonal product and global warming is degrading the annual tru e crop yearly, it’s a precious resource.

BLACK TRUFFLES VS. WHITE TRUFFLES

The most valuable tru es are black tru es from rance, particularly southeast regions and the southwest P rigord region, and white tru es from taly, including in northern Piedmont and in central parts of Tuscany and mbria. White tru es have a higher price tag than black tru es, as they are much richer in flavor than black tru es but their scent disappears more quickly. Tru es are also found in Eastern Europe, pain, Australia, and Chile. White tru es should be firm, dry to the touch, and have no soft spots, says Purkayastha, who started foraging mushrooms at the age of 1 in his hometown in Arkansas. lack tru es should be firm, but they can have a bit of give to them. lack tru es have a two- to three-week shelf life, while white tru es have a seven-day

shelf life. They should have firmness and a pleasant-smelling aroma, which changes quickly when they start to degrade. t’s common for both dogs and pigs to hunt for tru es. Pigs, with their superior sense of smell, are enticed by beta-androstenol, a steroidal pheromone found in tru es, while select dog breeds are easily trained to hunt out the pungent smell. HOW TO USE THEM

Purkayastha says that black tru es offer more earthy flavors and benefit from gentle heating. e recommends eating black tru es tucked against meats as they roast or shaved into sauces. White tru es, on the other hand, have a nutty sweetness and a garlicky funk and are great for shaving atop dishes as a finishing touch, for example in risotto dishes or pasta with cream sauces. Even sweet dishes, like pastries or ice cream, can be absolutely delightful with white tru es, he says. igh-quality examples of either type of tru e are also fragrant enough to infuse butter with their aroma, simply by storing them both together in a closed container in the fridge. n addition to whole truffles, there are also truffle-infused products, from olive oil to butter and salami and honey. owever, Purkayastha advises doing research if you’re after the real deal. More than of tru e products on the market are flavored with synthetic tru e flavoring, he says, adding that you should steer clear of tru e products with ingredients like tru e aroma or tru e essence.

WETRUF LOOKS TO ADVANCE TRUFFLE FARMING Despite the di culties in growing tru es, there are companies and individuals dedicated to advancing tru e farming, like rench start-up WeTruf. ounded in 201 by engineer and molecular diagnostics expert lora Todesco and Claude Murat, a fungi biologist and research engineer at AE a public research institute working on the sustainable development of agriculture , WeTruf studies technological innovations to improve the process and improve yields of farming. n collaboration with AE, WeTruf launched a product, p Tracer ne, which measures the soil water potential to help tru e growers manage their watering levels. WeTruf also does molecular diagnostic testing on various tru e species to learn more about this unique mushroom. We are helping farmers use good practices to cultivate their tru es, Todesco says. ecent discoveries include understanding of the tru e life cycle, including sexual production, the influence of the climate, and mycelium growth. This knowledge opens new doors for orchard management, and WeTruf hopes to bring all the new scientific discoveries to tru e growers. Todesco says that the tru e industry in rance is more dynamic than ever, and she wants to help bring tru e knowledge to the masses. n addition to WeTruf’s water management product, the start-up’s services include tru e farming training, advice on how to begin farming tru es, drafting projects, research, and workshop hosting.

THE CASE FOR COZYING UP WITH DIGESTIFS THIS WINTER PLUS, THREE RECIPES WORTH TRYING TONIGHT

Amaro is slightly bitter, but adds a nice bite to many cocktails.

hether you call them digestifs or digestivos, digestive drinks by any other name would W taste as bitter. The category originally arose as

a pseudoscientific one, touted by peddlers as cure-alls for one ailment or another. “The type now used in cocktails were often touted specifically for an advertised medicinal purpose and promoted as a medicine instead of as a beverage,” explains an entry in The Oxford Companion to Spirits and Cocktails, a newly released encyclopedic tome for the drinks world. DEFINING DIGESTIFS

What actually are they, though? “Digestifs are bitter-herbaceous liqueurs that come from all over the world,” says Andrew Cordero, a bartender at J & Tony’s, a San Diego bar with a taste for all things bitter. Bitter-tinged digestifs can work wonders for alleviating that too-full feeling after a large meal, but there’s no need to overeat in order to enjoy one. “While digestifs are most associated with after-meal enjoyment they can be enjoyed at any point,” says Sother Teague, the mixologist and mastermind behind Amor y Amargo, a New York bitters bar and emporium now celebrating its 10th anniversary. When modern imbibers think of the category, they typically conjure up Italian amari, which have become the most well-known and widespread option. As The Oxford Companion explains, though, “The use and production of these drinks, it must be noted, are by no means confined to rance and taly Although those countries might be their most ardent advocates, such drinks also have, or have had, a place in the drinking cultures of many other countries.” Consider Jägermeister or Underberg, both German digestifs, or Unicum, from Hungary. Not only is the category of bitters a grander one than many realize, but within that category, two seemingly opposed forces, digestifs and aperitifs, are actually close relatives. “An aperitif is simply a premeal bitter and functions the same 58

way; however we associate lighter more citrus-forward bitters with aperitif and darker more medicinal ones with digestif,” Teague says.

Opposite page: Getty Images; this page, clockwise from top left: CH Projects; Eric Medsker; CH Projects

’TIS THE SEASON TO BE BITTER

As the temperature drops, digestifs work all the better with the prevailing mood and the desire to be warmed up and cozy. Teague suggests starting with an approachable option you can nab at any liquor store. “I’d suggest Amaro Montenegro; it’s got flavors of orange blossom and bitter orange, accompanied by notes of celery and cucumber, and hints of floral gentian that add bitterness, he says. Another go-to entrant for the digestif dabbler is Amaro Nonino. “It’s a lighter body amaro, loaded with stone fruit and caramel and its bitterness is quite mild,” Cordero says. Both he and Teague also suggest Cynar, an artichoke-flavored amaro. If that intrigues the palate, consider further exploration with Don Ciccio & Figli’s C3 Carciofo, an American-made artichoke amaro, though one with Amalfi Coast roots. Once you’re more accustomed to the category, there’s a huge range to branch out into. “In cooler months, I adore Amaro Dell’Erborista from Varnelli,” Teague says. “It’s a gentian and honey amaro that’s got a soft smoky flavor. erved hot, it’s similar to a toddy.” He also recommends Borsci Amaro, and even suggests trying some in eggnog. With a category as diverse as digestifs, and one with a reputation as perhaps being an acquired taste, it could be easy to be scared away. But fear not. “Digestifs are a great addition to the adventurous drinker’s roster,” Teague says. “There are dozens and dozens, and each is unique and worth exploration. They’re di cult to categorize, and while this could leave you either fascinated or frustrated, choose the former!”

DIGESTIF COCKTAILS TO TRY When you’re ready to dive into digestifs, but are more interested in mixing up a cocktail than sipping on one neat, there’s no shortage of options. For the simplest solution, pour a splash of your favorite digestif over ice, and top it off with soda water or tonic. It’s a low alcohol by volume refresher, which also does its digestive duties, and it just may become a new go-to. For something a bit more complex, here are a few ideas to help get you started. 1

PAPER PLANE

The Paper Plane is a modern classic cocktail created by am oss in 2007, with a backbone of bourbon and amaro brightened up by Aperol and lemon. “This is a bright, citrusy cocktail, and the combination gives off this freshness of grapefruit, Cordero says. 3/4 ounce bourbon 3/4 ounce Aperol 3/4 ounce Amaro Nonino 3/4 ounce lemon juice

BITTER GIUSEPPI

Created by tephen Cole at the Violet our in Chicago, think of the Bitter Giuseppe as a Manhattan made with Cynar as its base, instead of whiskey. “Cynar is a bittersweet, slightly savory amaro that is made with artichokes,” Cordero says. “I recommend trying it neat with a pinch of salt, or in the Bitter Giuseppe.” 2 ounces Cynar 1 ounce sweet vermouth (such as Carpano Antica or Punt e Mes) ¼ ounce lemon juice 6 dashes Regans’ Orange Bitters No. 6

ONE PAN SERVES ALL THIS COOKWARE COMPANY CATERS TO MULTIETHNIC KITCHENS WITH SUSTAINABILITY IN MIND

is more when it comes to cookware crowding the cabinets Landess countertop—and pieces should be

suitable for multiethnic kitchens. That’s the business model cooking at Our Place, the direct-to-consumer kitchenware company that set out to diversify the average cookware market with items that replace up to eight pots and pans into one multipurpose piece. “We make products that connect people over cooking and eating together,

that are designed to make cooking more simple and joyful rather than technical and intimidating,” says Our Place co-founder and CEO Shiza Shahid. Plus, she says, customers respond to products “because we designed them to represent the diverse cultures, values, and food traditions of the modern-American kitchen.” Shahid, who co-founded the Malala Fund with Nobel Prize winner and activist Malala Yousafzai, set out to

make kitchenware more accessible and easy to use by streamlining the traditional eight-piece cookware set and condensing it in a way that serves multicultural cuisines. Her husband, Amir Tehrani, the company’s co-founder, has a background in cookware and the kitchen business. Together, the company marries Shahid’s social activism with business, bringing commerce to communities across the globe and highlighting artisans behind their products.

Our Place (2)

Our Place kitchenware is multipurpose and meant to facilitate cooking from different cuisines from around the world. From pots to pans to steamers, you can cook almost anything imaginable in them.

The most Instagram-famous of the collection is the Always Pan, in its eye-catching pastel pinks, blues, and sages that can cook up breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s a steamer, a strainer, a saute pan, a sauce pan, a saucier, a skillet, a nonstick pan, a frying pan, and a place to rest your spoon, perhaps, between sips of wine while you cook. The pan was such a hit, it reportedly had a 30,000-person waiting list when it first launched in 201 .

It’s deep enough to make sauces, shallow enough to flip an egg, has an easy pour spout and modular inserts like a stainless steel steamer basket fit for cooking a simple omelette, a pot of marinara, Spanish tortillas, dal, and dumplings. “The intention behind the Always Pan was to make it simpler and more joyful to cook at home,” Shahid says. “You have everything you need in one.” Then there’s the Perfect Pot, which comes with a built-in strainer, a roasting and steaming rack, and a self-basting lid perfect for boiling, baking, and crisping. Partnerships with artisans from Thailand, China, and Mexico are also key ingredients in Our Place’s recipe for success. Cookware is made in collaboration with home cooks, artists, designers, and human rights leaders. The Always Pan, for example, is made in a female-owned factory in China, “which we chose because of its highquality craftsmanship and commitment to team ethics,” the company says on its website. Consumers can see where their

products are coming from and who is making them. The brand is also committed to sustainability. While most cookware leaves behind a trail of cardboard, plastic, and plastic foam after it’s unboxed, Our Place uses biodegradable packaging that comes sans bubble wrap. In March, the brand rolled out a Traditionware collection inspired by Iranian cooking techniques with a Tahdig Trio—a three-piece cookware set named after the crispy rice dish. And Shahid’s trip to the Indus Valley Civilization in Pakistan inspired a terra-cotta-colored iteration of the Always Pan, a nod to the thousands-yearold terra-cotta cooking vessels, she says. If there’s anything Shahid hopes home cooks will take away from her functional kitchen tools, it’s an excitement to discover new foods and flavors through one multipurpose, melting pot. “We believe in the power of home cooking, and that sharing a home-cooked meal is foundational to connection,” she says. 1

LOUIS VUITTON COTTEVILLE 40 GETS A SHINY UPGRADE THE LUGGAGE IS LIKELY TO BE REPURPOSED AS A STATUS HOME DECOR PIECE

suitcase designed with leather trimmings, Louis Vuitton’s signature LV monogram print, and a lock closure—is having a modern day glow-up just as travel takes off again. And there’s a lot to unpack. The brand’s former artistic director of menswear, the late Virgil Abloh, reimagined the luggage in a shiny, silver mirror monogram canvas with a silver metal trim and light leather handles. It’s a piece so ornate, you may think twice before storing it in the overhead bin. (The price on the Louis Vuitton Cotteville 40 is available upon request.) 62

Vuitton decided at 16 years old that he would become a trunk master, and the rest is high fashion history. Louis The iconic Cotteville 40 luggage—the classic 1930s-era

The futuristic design is modern day glam meets 19thcentury Parisian sophistication, and is a nod to Vuitton’s early career. He arrived in Paris where he began apprenticing in 1837, back when the main modes of transportation were horsedrawn carriages, trains, and boats. Roads were unpaved, and luggage needed to be more functional than fashionable. Vuitton worked alongside Monsieur Maréchal, a successful packer and box maker. It was a well-regarded industry at the time because luggage and boxes had to be made to fit months worth of goods and personal items that were being stored and loaded into a customer’s carriage. Travelers would have craftsmen pack their luggage to ensure bags were safe and secure, according to the Louis Vuitton website. Vuitton’s career in trunk making got a jump-start in 1852 when Napoleon became the Emperor of the French and his wife, Joséphine, hired him as her own box maker and packer. He became famous for his luxury trunks, and eventually reinvented leather luggage to become a durable fashion statement with a waterproof canvas and sleek flat surface. Today, as more people hit the roads, rails, and runways again post-lockdown, the Louis Vuitton Cotteville 40 is, perhaps, the first-class ticket of suitcases, celebrity stylists say, adding that while it may make a statement in transit, it can equally serve as a statement piece in the home. “More people are buying these limited edition pieces for the home since they’re spending more of their time there. It’s really more of a home object, something you might see in a library or study. It becomes more of a showpiece; it’s more decorative than functional, says Amanda anders, a ew ork City-based stylist, adding omething like this will only increase in value.

In recent years, Ripert, 56, has become more interested in the effects his influence has on climate change. “Good practices of cultivating land and organic farming are important,” he explains. “I still eat meat. But I wanted to give alternatives.” In Vegetable Simple, recipes for dishes such as Mushroom Bolognese and Fava Bean and Mint Salad are straightforward, without complex steps or ingredients. “I think a lot of people are inspired by something new. Ten years ago everyone was excited about bacon and pork belly...now it’s trendy to eat vegetables,” Ripert explains. “People are discovering that vegetables connect you to the season, they’re nutritional and delicious. It’s a way to be very much in the present.” Below, the cookbooks Ripert turns to for culinary inspiration. LA CUISINE DU MARCHÉ BY PAUL BOCUSE

“When I was a kid, I was very inspired by that book—it’s why I became a chef, probably because I was reading that book more than I was studying in school! It was a bestseller worldwide; it’s a very inspiring cookbook. Even though it’s a product of the 1970s, it’s still very relevant today, as it demystifies a lot of classic recipes. f you want to make a sou and succeed, open this book.” MA CUISINE POUR VOUS: LES RECETTES ORIGINALES BY JOËL ROBUCHON

“I love that book because I worked for Joël Robuchon, and at the time I thought it was revolutionary. His recipes and his cooking were absolutely amazing and new. He was basically Photograph by Nigel Parry

demystifying three-star Michelin cooking for the home cook. He was really loyal to the recipes that were served at his restaurants, but making things approachable for the home cook. Also, my copy is autographed by him, saying to me that he believed that I would do well, so it’s a very sentimental book.” BASICS: THE FOUNDATIONS OF MODERN COOKING BY FILIP VERHEYDEN

“It’s very tiny—you can carry it everywhere. It has very cool pictures and simple recipes of ultrabasic items. You can learn how to make a vinaigrette, mayonnaise, garnishes, et cetera. All the techniques you need are in there. Actually, this book inspired me to do Vegetable Simple the way I did it, without chapters or structure, just a collection of different techniques that inspire the reader to cook.” COOKING WITH THE SEASONS BY JEAN - LOUIS PALLADIN

ean- ouis Palladin was my first chef in Washington, D.C.—he was one of the first celebrated rench chefs in the country. He created this absolutely magnificent book with pictures that were shot in the late 1980s, documenting his cooking which was inspired by the Southwest of France. This book hasn’t aged at all! It’s one of the most gorgeous books I have ever seen— just flipping the pages, the visuals are striking.” THE FRENCH LAUNDRY COOKBOOK BY THOMAS KELLER

“This book is absolutely beautiful, with pictures that pay homage to the beauty and bounty of California. It was very inspiring for myself and the rest of the industry. I think he broke the mold by creating an object that’s a coffee table book but at the same time has recipes that are very inspiring and motivate the reader to cook.” ELBULLI 2005 -2011 BY FERRAN ADRIÀ

“Ferran Adrià basically documented everything he created from day one. He created a new style of cooking— very controversial, but very interesting. Today, a lot of the techniques that he invented are used by cooks in a more traditional way. He allowed us to cook and to introduce full flavors with a lot of lightness and no butter.” 63
