This issue explores the homes and workspaces of creatives, knowing they’re vital test labs for ideas. We see this through our cover story—designer Sophie Dries’ Paris apartment—and Italian designer Giampiero Tagliaferri’s Los Angeles atelier. Brazilian designer Andre Mellone describes his New York City home as a “lab where you test ideas out”, and CRITERIA and C. Gallery founder Rachael Fry’s restored Victorian villa in Melbourne is a canvas for her diverse style and pieces.
Designer Sebastian Zuchowicki’s hybrid living-working space blurs the lines between comfort and creativity, while Kennedy Nolan reconceive a late-modernist apartment’s interiors for art-collecting clients. Welsh + Major’s new pavilion design for a Sydney terrace honours a building’s past by incorporating a historic well.
Our ‘Bathroom Blueprint’ special feature gives voice to designers seeking new and interesting materials, shapes, and details. We leave you with a definitive guide to bathroom design elements using our Product Library.
