Now that hue reappears in his new limited-edition faucet for Kohler, a prototype of whi…

The senior advisor at Schwartzman& had lived in London for almost a decade when she and her husband, Aram, made the call to return to the city—even the neighborhood—where she grew up.

In her evocative silk collages, the South Africa–based artist Billie Zangewa often mines everyday events—preparing a bottle for her child or taking a shower, even just lounging on the sofa with a book. For the 2020 work The Swimming Lesson, she revisited the weekly trips to the pool that she took with her son, Mika. In it, a young boy sits along the water’s edge, juxtaposed against a washed-out terra-cotta-color sky. “It was unfamiliar to him,” she recalls of the emotional waves that accompanied…

Milanese industrial designers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni liked to reduce an idea to the very basics. So in 1958, the premise for the brothers’ new table lamp was radically simple: to turn a ceiling fixture upside down, like a salad bowl, and set it on a base.

The concrete dwelling offers a Floridian take on high-tech style When Emmett Moore, a furniture designer and sculptor, began planning his Miami house in 2014, he had one parameter: The ground floor needed to fit a sailboat. It wasn’t entirely aspirational. His then girlfriend and now wife, Sarah Newberry Moore, is a professional sailor. (She’s currently training for the 2024 Olympics.) An 18-square-foot box with 11.5-foot ceilings—large enough to store a catamaran—became the basic building unit…

“We will always reference artist-made homes,” says designer Aaron Aujla, who founded the New York–based Green River Project with Ben Bloomstein in 2017. Before they teamed up, they’d worked for artists Nate Lowman and Robert Gober, respectively. What began with narrative-driven furniture collections that prioritized rough-hewn materials like raw mahogany, coffee-stained lauan and bamboo, and dried tobacco leaves quickly evolved into a full-blown interiors practice specializing in the types of wo…
