ARCHITECTURE
Nordic by Nature
A new survey of Scandinavian architecture showcases bold innovation and a deep commitment to rest and retreat
The standout homes in “The Iconic Nordic House: Modern Masterworks Since 1900” —the latest in a series of compendiums of residential architecture—are designed to protect from wild and rugged landscapes. They offer spectacular views of nature from a safe and warm place. At the Fleinvær Refugium (2017), northern Norway, for example, resident artists can float above the fjords in an elevated meditation room. Even in urban examples, there’s a sense of interior space as a retreat from the outer world.
That domestic coziness has found itself at the heart of a number of popular lifestyle trends, notably the Danish concept of hygge Yet as this new survey shows, there is much more to the Nordic sensibility. Binding these extraordinary homes from the past 125 years is the luxury of tranquility and a deep philosophy of quality, craft and care.
“There’s real sensitivity to the landscape that you see in both contemporary Nordic architecture and the past,” says author Dominic Bradbury, whose research took him to far-flung islands and archipelagos as well as the Scandinavian mainland. “There’s use of organic material and natural textures, even if the forms and composition are very modern.”
The timber-paneled ceiling and forestlike columns of Alvar Aalto’s Villa Mairea (1939) in Ahlström Noormarkku, Finland, exemplify a softer, more layered type of modernism. The house’s design cleverly adapts the usual language of pristine white forms with local materials and reverence for the Finnish landscape.
Although mid-century style has become associated with the Nordics, the book shows regional variations in constant play with multiple ideas and aesthetics. “I think that

Opposite: A double-height living room in an otherwise compact cabin outside Oslo provides calm amid the pine forests
there is a real spirit of innovation in Nordic architecture,” says Bradbury. “These architects were at the vanguard of a lot of different styles and movements.”
The experimental prefab plastic Futuro House (1968) by architect-designer Matti Suuronen is a stark departure from the typically spare Nordic look. The cliffside creative atelier of the Nurmesniemi house (1975), on the island of Kulosaari, is another Finnish outlier. Its generous double-height spaces and exposed steel structure make it more akin to the famously inventive Eames Case Study House in California.
Homes built more recently manifest a quest for innovation in their mastery of sustainable technologies.
Blending with the birches on the Danish island of Møn is Birkedal (2016) by Copenhagen-based architect Jan Henrik Jansen. A cluster of cylindrical volumes clad in rough tree trunks makes the lustrous brass kitchen island inside all the more surprising. For the cubist Villa Sagalid (2023) on the Stockholm archipelago, architects Sandellsandberg chose bespoke ceramic cladding to withstand water and rain, but also to catch the light, so the building shimmers.
The sheer number of sea cabins, coastal escapes, mountain retreats and treehouses shows how architecture integrates with a commitment to leisure and family time.
In Norway, PAN Tretopphytter (2018), a trio of A-frames on stilts by Espen Surnevik, immerses guests in the trees of a farm in Gjesåsen, while Snorre Stinessen’s timberlined Manshausen Tower Cabins (2023), built on a private island in the Steigen archipelago, feel gloriously isolated in the dramatic fjords.
Although some are too remote or compact to be permanent homes, these treasured holiday spots are sometimes kept in families for generations and returned to year after year. “The craft and quality is often quite extraordinary,” says Bradbury. “I think there’s a luxurious element to the way these buildings are designed and then put together.”
Time, space and immersion in nature unite this most enviable collection of Nordic architecture. Wherever in the world we live, there are plenty of lessons to take home on the art of living well.

Light touch
Overlooking the Gulf of Finland around 10km west of central Helsinki, Espoo’s Westend district provides the ideal canvas for Nordic design. Its shoreline and abundant foliage lend themselves to the natural sensitivity that marks the style. No surprise that celebrated Finnish architect Pekka Helin chose it as the site of this light-filled retreat, which pairs its calming surroundings with bold architectural choices—receiving a World Architecture Festival award nomination for his trouble. Built in 2010 from cast-in-place concrete and steel pillar supports, floor-to-ceiling windows flood its open spaces with brightness, highlighting softer materials, such as solid oak and pale limestone floors. Larch decking opens up views of the archipelago beyond the surrounding treeline, where sunlight glances off the water. A spa area with sauna and sculptural bathtub offers sanctuary on less clement days.

Ranch Reinvented
Combining clean lines with rustic touches, today’s luxury ranch is as timeless as the mountains
Ranch style is undergoing a subtle transition: the old tropes of taxidermy, rough-hewn cabins and cowboy cliches are giving way to a refined Western aesthetic, one as enduring and textured as the land itself.
Nowhere was this more evident than many thousands of miles away from the U.S. at Milan Design Week 2025. It was here that Ralph Lauren Home launched Canyon Road, a ranch-inspired collection showcasing a collaboration with seventh-generation Diné (Navajo) weavers Naiomi and Tyler
Glasses, the brand’s current artists-inresidence. Items ranged from stamped pewter tableware to a luxurious bed blanket, both featuring the four-directional cross that carries great significance in Navajo tradition, referencing the Earth’s four directions.
“In my experience, having lived, worked and designed ranches in the American West, this style tends to be deeply influenced by the past and the vast landscape,” says Emily Janak, principal designer of Emily Janak Interiors, based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and Bozeman, Montana.
“It reflects the histories and traditions of the region, from Indigenous craftsmanship and patterns that have long defined the land to the utilitarian simplicity of early ranchers and settlers,” Janak adds. “European antiques brought by homesteaders also find their place. Design palettes range from the muted tones of sagebrush and snow to the vibrant hues of the red earth.”
Luxury ranches listed by Sotheby’s International Realty include the crisp, contemporary take of a 70-acre property in Montana’s Whitefish—all clean lines, glass-and-timber volumes and sweeping meadow-mountain transitions—to a more traditional estate in Wilson, Wyoming. Spanning similar acreage and surrounded by expansive timber decking, it has three guest lodges, a play barn and direct views of the Teton mountain range. This is ranch life elevated—not a retreat from nature, but an invitation to live within it, in full comfort.
“The ranch look that seems to appeal the most is what’s known as ‘mountain modern,’” says Scott Bayens, global real estate advisor with Aspen Snowmass Sotheby’s International Realty in Colorado. “Clean lines and contemporary touches are certainly appealing, but when coupled with glass, stone, rustic wood and other thoughtful touches, the home becomes truly timeless.”
A luxury Aspen “ranchette” is a case in point, combining an original 1976 stone house—carefully restored and decorated by its designer owner in 2017—with a stylish, new-build “barndominium,” all on working equestrian land, with panoramas that bring the alpine fantasy into the now.
Further south, in New Mexico, the ranch aesthetic is more multifaceted still. Rooted in their region, southwestern ranches integrate an artfully utilitarian approach where “function informs form,” according to Maida Branch, the Santa Fe-born founder of the Maida goods brand and co-founder of the Siempre design network.
“What is vernacular to this place are expressions that are authentic to the environment,” says Branch. “Adobe walls and mud plaster sourced from nearby clay, vigas made from fallen ponderosas, kiva fireplaces, wool rugs, clay pots, tapias or stone walls, horno ovens and southfacing homes. An active pantry, where the memory of summer is preserved in dried herbs, corn and beans… a place

that stays cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.”
Ultimately, what today’s ranch owner desires is a coherence between the land, architecture, decor and the story at large.
“Just because you happen to run cattle doesn’t mean your interiors have to declare it in every corner,” says Janak.
“The most successful ranches, to me, are those that weave authenticity with restraint—where the landscape, the history and the owner’s own sensibility come together naturally. It’s about living with a sense of place, not performing it. Though I will say, I’d never own a ranch without a proper dinner bell.”

Home sweet homestead
Ranches are evolving, but the landscape that tethers it is not. The peaks and plains surrounding Jackson, Wyoming, are no exception. The Teton Range, part of the Rocky Mountains, rose from a vast fault block in the Earth’s crust some six million years ago, exceeding 12,000 feet in parts to tower over the valley below. A brand-new ranch less than 15 minutes’ drive from Jackson speaks to these ancient surroundings while embracing the contemporary aesthetic. Encompassing almost 7,000 square feet, its generous spaces blend the modern—expansive use of glass, state-of-the-art security, ample garage provision—with what’s gone before. Built beside a pond and positioned for the stunning mountain views, the home’s reclaimed wood beams and walls hewn in Montana moss rock connect deeply with a past that lives on.

LUXURY
Under One Roof
Multigenerational living is on the rise again, stoking demand for exceptional homes for the whole family
“It’s where the family heartbeat is,” says Rodd Macklin, co-founder and managing director of Pennington Partners & Co, of the return of multigenerational living, where grandparents, children and grandchildren share a home. This setup is emerging as a significant trend in luxury real estate, strengthening emotional connections, spreading caregiving duties and forging family legacies.
“A home can often be the anchor where families come together, making it a natural place for conversations about prosperity,” continues Macklin. “At the same time, it’s a major asset that must be structured thoughtfully if it’s going to last across generations.”
And generational considerations matter. According to Macklin, baby boomers (born 1946-64) often downsize their daily living
arrangements but keep a home for family gatherings, while gen X (1965-80) increasingly house elderly parents and adult children. For millennials (1981-96) and gen Z (1997-2012), flexible living spaces beat large houses. “What’s the same across all generations is that their homes give a sense of belonging. It’s not just real estate,” Macklin says.
Indeed, the pull of multigenerational living is being felt globally, especially in countries with a culture of honoring and valuing older family members. “In Japan, the idea of a family living together has profound roots,” says Kantaro Aoki of List Sotheby’s International Realty, Japan. “Historically, it was common for the grandparents, parents and children to live together in the same household,
especially in rural areas. Although the nuclear family became more common in the postwar years, the trend toward multigenerational homes is re-emerging.”
Suitable properties are shaped by location, purpose, architecture, land availability and cultural norms. “Thoughtful planning by an architect of how people want to live is the difference between successful intergenerational living and a big house,” says Bob Zuber, a partner at Morgante Wilson Architects in Chicago, Illinois. “Think rec rooms, sitting rooms, separate entry points if necessary, reading nooks and playrooms. Not everyone wants or needs to be surrounded by family members at all times.”
For Sandra Wendland of Legacy Sotheby’s International Realty in Portland, Maine, multigenerational housing comes in many forms. “Sometimes it’s a lakefront property, sometimes oceanfront or even island compounds, because it goes back to the family seeking meaningful time together.”
One of Wendland’s recent transactions—a lakefront property near the base of a ski resort—included the buyer’s mother, who had grown up skiing there. “She was elated to be able to enjoy the mountain and lake with her grandchildren,” says Wendland.
Just as space to come together is important, often so is real estate with space to be apart. “From the cultural aspect, I think the luxury end is really about unplugging,” says Margaret “Meg” Smith of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty in Bay Shore, New York.
Smith recently sold a multigenerational property on Fire Island, New York. It comprised three separate houses: one on the bay, one ocean-facing, and the third centered between them as an entertainment space. Two brothers thought it was perfect because each one could have their own home and they could bring their families together in the middle, Smith says.
For affluent families, these purchases represent more than a lifestyle choice—they are strategic investments that address multiple financial objectives while creating space for the family to thrive across
generations. Whether used for vacations with extended family or year-round living, multigenerational homes offer the chance to deepen family connections and create a lasting real-estate legacy. As Macklin concludes, it’s about having “somewhere that ties everyone together.”

A Fresh TAKE
With Gwyneth Paltrow and Lena Dunham on her roster, Ariel Okin talks interiors and the internet with Hannah Marriott
Ariel Okin is swaddled in one of her husband’s sweaters as she works remotely from their home in Westchester, New York, while recovering from a gnarly bug. “I have two children under six, so we’ve got the lovely Petri dish,” she says over video, laughing. it’s a scenario familiar to many of her clients. Okin understands the intricacies of life for young families, who comprise a core part of her interior design business. She got married, had two children and moved to the suburbs from Manhattan’s Upper West Side, all in the past eight years. “You know, for my clients who have young children, I understand what they’re talking about; I’m in the same life phase.”
At just 34, Okin has been in business for a decade. Having studied journalism, she ran her interiors work for three years alongside a day job in communications. Design was a personal passion—“something I did to relax,” she says. An early project—a friend of a friend’s apartment in Tribeca— featured in Elle Decor. The clients were Broadway producers and the inclusion in the magazine, says Okin, “brought a lot of new eyeballs to our work.”
Since then, she has attracted high-profile projects, including the Manhattan headquarters of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop empire, where she focused on highlighting the building’s art deco bones. “It had these great arched windows and creaky floors,” she says. Okin knew that Paltrow “loves a sort of English sensibility, so we tried to weave that in.” The walls were Farrow & Ball’s Pink Ground, the kitchenette cabinets Stiffkey Blue, and de Gournay wallpaper lined the bathrooms. Okin has also worked with writer-director-actor Lena Dunham on two New York City apartments, the second of

“ THE IDEA IS TO TAKE A LIFE STORY AND MANIFEST IT INTO A SPACE ”
which is underway in Chelsea. The first, in the West Village, was a riot of pastel-coloured walls, bright, printed retro fabrics and whimsical objects, from an Ettore Sottsass LED mirror to a lampshade covered in dancing legs and an octopus light. Dunham has a “very strong sense of who she is,” says Okin, who often uses a client’s art collection as inspiration for the project’s palette. In Dunham’s case, “she had some really beautiful art, and I leaned into the pinks and the purples and the teals.”
One of pop culture’s best-known millennials—“the voice of my generation… or at least a voice of a generation” as her character in HBO series “Girls” quips—Dunham is now a friend, and recently wrote the introduction to Okin’s debut book, “The Happy Home.” The designer’s firsthand knowledge of this demographic—born between 1981 and 1996—is valuable. In 2025, millennials were the second fastest-growing buyer group of luxury real estate, according to the Sotheby’s International Realty agent survey.
Because they are also, notoriously, very online, cliches abound about millennial design tastes; assumptions that younger buyers prefer a bland, cut-and-paste style in their homes flood the media. Okin is familiar with the tropes: rooms that are “devoid of personality. White, gray and beige; stock art that you could find in a million different places; books that don’t say anything about the person’s actual interests and are just there for decor.” But Okin insists she doesn’t get those requests at all. In “The Happy Home,” Dunham agrees, describing Okin’s work as “the opposite of everything we’ve come to expect from the interiors of the internet.” She credits Okin with “an almost maternal coziness, with the inventive specificity that only an artist can bring.”
For her part, Okin says she doesn’t have “a look per se,” but likes to prioritize a cozy feel, mixing traditional silhouettes with contemporary elements.” That “mix of different eras and shapes is what makes the space interesting and layered,” she says. Beyond that, her focus is personalization. “We spend hours digging deep into how a client lives, what they want their life to look like, how they want the space to function,” as well as “who they are, what they love, where they have lived and traveled.” The idea is to “take their life story and manifest it into a physical space.”

Her book is full of examples, such as the Park Slope townhouse she injected with jewel tones: deep plum furnishings, egg-yolk yellow cabinetry and a huge rust-colored sofa paired with navy wallpaper in the living room. Okin preserved and highlighted the home’s original millwork in her design; period stained-glass windows inspired paint colors. A playroomturned-guest room with large-scale polka dots on the walls gave the kids a fun place to hang out without looking obviously child-focused.
In another project, a 9,000-square-foot house in Greenwich, Connecticut, for a couple with four children and a dog, Okin anchored the sitting room around the family’s beloved vintage case piece, papered the dining-room walls with a mural of Brazil by Iksel, and used the clients’ existing artwork to inspire the living room palette of cream and yellow.
Okin says both her aesthetic and career were shaped by the home her parents built from the ground up, when she was 12, in the Pennsylvania suburbs. It was “based on those old Pennsylvania stone field houses. It was very traditional. Very timeless.” Entrepreneurship is, she thinks, “kind of in my blood.” Her greatgrandparents were in the garment industry, her father ran his own business, and her mother was fashion director at Macy’s until Ariel was two. Her parents worked with interior designer Judy Kling on their home. Okin attended meetings and got to pick everything in her own room. “That really influenced my personal taste,” she says. “Traditional interiors that feel fresh, not dated, and not pinpointed to any particular moment in time; that’s what I gravitate toward.”
She doesn’t think celebrities necessarily influence even her youngest clients: “I think it’s more whatever their algorithm is feeding them.” But reliance on social media can come with pitfalls, she says, especially for first-time renovators. “Some clients say: ‘We love your portfolio, we trust you; here are the colors we like.’ And then we have clients that are super in-the-weeds: they read every magazine, they’re on Pinterest, Instagram constantly, screenshotting 100 things. They typically have a harder time deciding and we often have to say: ‘You are cut off from social media!’” Otherwise, it’s too easy to fall into “total decision paralysis.”
For those clients, Okin says, the spaces she renovates are more likely to be first than second homes. “But other than that, I’d say everybody wants the same thing: to come home to a place that makes them feel really seen and cozy, and which is their favorite place to be.” 0 Hannah Marriott is a Brooklyn-based journalist for the Guardian, Financial Times and more.

SEOUL Searching
Experiential shopping, a makgeolli brewery and culture on every corner—Seongsu-dong has become a hub for urban luxury, writes Soo Kim
The view over Seoul’s Seongsu Bridge, which connects the city’s Gangnam and Seongdong districts
Springtime in Seoul. An explosion of pinks as the cherry blossom hits its stride. And likely an influx of visitors too, as art enthusiasts descend on the South Korean capital for the opening of the Centre Pompidou Hanwha in May. Trace the curving river Han upstream from this keenly awaited Parisian outpost, though, and those seeking a lowkey but lively atmosphere will also be rewarded. Here, just across the water from Seoul’s affluent Gangnam district, is Seongsudong—a neighborhood in eastern Seoul that pulses with its own cultural beat.
Nicknamed the “Brooklyn” of the city, Seongsu-dong is known for blending its industrial past with modern creative spaces. “I believe Seongsu-dong is the neighborhood that most vividly represents Seoul today,” says Mun Hyeon-cheol, director of CDA, a local gallery that opened in 2018. The area’s reputation for constant transformation, with concepts and spaces regularly appearing and disappearing, mirrors its unfixed identity— and, according to Mun, has earned it another moniker: “the pop-up store mecca.”
“Back then, there was absolutely nothing here, so there was a strange sense of freedom, a sense that I could do whatever I wanted,” he says. “And interestingly, it’s not much different now. The entire neighborhood feels like a creative laboratory.”
Designated a semi-industrial zone in the 1960s, Seongsu-dong’s streets were once fi lled with factories, car repair shops and warehouses, including the red-brick buildings that still defi ne the area’s architectural landscape. As more businesses moved into the district in the 2010s, Seongsu-dong was reborn as a vibrant cultural hub. Rather than large redevelopment projects, the transformation has been driven by a series of “careful, understated adjustments that respect the existing scale and rhythm of the neighborhood,” says architect Sim Hee-Jun, co-founder of Seoul-based design fi rm ArchiWorkshop.
Below: A recent exhibition by German-born, Seoul-based artist Ingo Baumgarten
Sim describes Seongsu-dong as “urban yet unhurried, industrial yet warm, creative yet free from any need for spectacle.” He attributes this feeling to the modesty and resourcefulness of the local community. “Within this context, authenticity has come to represent a new form of urban luxury. It is subtle, textural and quietly integrated into daily life.”
One notable change is the emergence of multipurpose spaces that bring brands and culture together, such as the Musinsa Standard and Dior Seongsu clothing stores, as well as D Museum, which has exhibited work by British designer Thomas Heatherwick and the fashion photographer Nick Knight. Haus Nowhere Seoul, a concept store on Ttukseom-ro, opened in September 2025. With its brutalist-inspired facade, it’s the latest instalment from II Combined, the parent company of Gentle Monster, a Korean luxury

eyewear brand known for its museum-like displays that offer immersive and experiential shopping.
A few streets away from Haus Nowhere Seoul is a more understated artistic reimagination of retail. LCDC Seoul, which opened in 2021 on Yeonmujang 17-gil, is a former auto repair shop and shoe factory that is now a multilevel retail and dining complex with a “story within a story” concept. The third level, known as “Doors,” is a hallway of seven doors, each opening to a different shop experience.
Such projects showcase the area’s experimental flair, but not all developments rely on size or statement design. “A more accurate reflection of Seongsu-dong’s architectural identity is found in the numerous adaptive reuse projects scattered through former factories and workshops,” says ArchiWorkshop’s Sim. Brick, concrete and exposed steel are often reinterpreted with “warmer proportions, flexible living layouts and a more intimate sense of scale that corresponds to the district’s atmosphere,” he adds.
Lowkey design is also on view at Hotel Poco. Located just two minutes from Seongsu Station, the area’s main transport hub, it has a quiet, chic aesthetic, with simple white and wooden furnishings. H Avenue Hotel Kondae on Dongil-ro, meanwhile, plays to the area’s quirkier streak, featuring vivid interiors inspired by Wes Anderson’s film “The Grand Budapest Hotel.”
For dining, Yeonmujang-gil is a central gathering spot that “best represents the present identity of Seongsu,” says Jeon Myeong-ho, CEO of Le Freak, a gourmet chicken-burger joint that opened on the street in 2019. “Seongsu is quick to embrace new flavors,” he adds. “If a restaurant has lasted more than

five years here, it is almost always a choice you won’t regret.”
Passing this test is Flavourtown in Seoul Forest, a popular park in Seongsu-dong. Owner and chef TK calls the area’s mix of old-world industry, high-rise luxury real estate and creativity “perfectly suited to our pursuit of new interpretations of Asian cuisine.” Chefs from high-end restaurants, previously concentrated in other affluent Seoul neighborhoods such as Cheongdam and Apgujeong, have begun to take an interest in Seongsu as a place to experiment, he adds.
Buzzy and lively by day, with cafe culture aplenty, the neighborhood’s energy dials down after dark. “Seongsu-dong offers a quiet and cozy nightlife experience, quite different from areas like Hongdae, Apgujeong and Itaewon,” says Koh Sung-yong, co-founder of Hangang Brewery on Dulle 15-gil. Kompakt Record Bar, Sound Planet whiskey bar, and the indie film theater Movie Land share the same relaxed vibes. And when it comes to ordering, make it a “makgeolli”: a carbonated rice wine with a tangy, slightly sweet taste.
First brewed more than 2,000 years ago, Korea’s oldest alcoholic drink has seen a resurgence in Seongsu-dong as part of the country’s “Newtro” movement, a modern interpretation of a retro trend. Makgeolli is Hangang Brewery’s raison d’etre. Founded in 2018 to introduce “the diverse Korean liquor culture of the past to modern lifestyles and ensure it remains a sustainable legacy for the future,” Koh says, it is the only brewery in Seoul that makes makgeolli using Gyeongbokgung rice, grown locally in the capital.
As old traditions take on new forms, Seongsu-dong is slated for another phase of transformation, which is aimed at attracting a more affluent type of resident. Redevelopment plans include a 79-story mixed-use complex with office, residential and commercial space on a former factory site in Seoul Forest. Construction is set to begin in 2026 and, once completed, it will join other luxury apartment developments, such as Galleria Forêt, Acro Seoul Forest and Trimage, where several Korean celebrities, including members of global K-pop group BTS and international soccer star Son Heung-min, are said to have purchased homes.
Observing the area’s continued evolution, Mun Hyeon-cheol reflects on his part in shaping it. “I didn’t choose Seongsu-dong, it was Seongsu-dong that chose me,” he says of the decision to locate his gallery here. “The neighborhood’s flow and energy fit perfectly with the gallery, and I still feel that way.” 0 Soo Kim is a travel, design and entertainment journalist, author of “How to Live Korean” and co-author of “Hello, South Korea: Meet the Country Behind Hallyu”
Omar Chakil used alabaster, a material revered by the pharaohs, for this sculptural furniture range
The opulent designs of ancient Egypt continue to influence high-end interiors, writes Kate Youde
FIT FOR A Pharaoh W
hen the Egyptian-Lebanese designer Omar ‘Chakil’ El Wakil moved from France to Egypt in 2019, it was not his intention to “resuscitate ancient Egypt,” but to create striking contemporary furniture that showcased local crafts and materials. It was French gallerist Victor Gastou who ultimately convinced him to embrace ancient references in his work. In 2025, the designer—under the name Omar Chakil—launched a collection of 17 pieces in collaboration with Galerie Gastou at PAD Paris design fair. United by the theme of transcendence, these works in alabaster reinterpret Egyptian animal deities and symbols.
“I see how much [the culture] resonates with people,” says El Wakil, who was raised in France, of his recent work. The alabaster itself also drew him in, he adds. “The transparency of the stone is one of the reasons why ancient Egyptians used to create all these artifacts, thinking that it would take them into the afterlife,” he says. “And as a matter of fact, I have a feeling that it did because we still remember them many thousands of years later.”
Our enduring fascination with this ancient civilization is evident in its continued cultural cachet across the world. Following the recent “Divine Egypt”

exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, which explored connections between ritual, religion and imagery, “Made in Ancient Egypt,” at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, U.K., until April, focuses on the craft behind a range of staggering artifacts produced between about 3100-30 B.C. Meanwhile, Hong Kong Palace Museum is showing 250 loans from Egypt’s museums in “Ancient Egypt Unveiled,” until the end of August.
“Egypt: Influencing British Design 1775-2025,” which ran until early 2026 at Sir John Soane’s Museum in London, highlighted the culture’s particular impact on architecture and interiors. On the back of Napoleon’s Egyptian military campaign (1798-1801), designers and architects were able to see Egyptian objects for the first time, explains Erin McKellar, the museum’s assistant curator of exhibitions. This led decorative elements, including winged sun discs, obelisks, sphinxes, cavetto cornices and the pylon forms seen at temple entrances, to make their way into European homes.
“The Egyptian style was used from a relatively early date in the home to cultivate an intellectual atmosphere,” explains McKellar. The Soane show included a Wedgwood teapot from 1810 with a Nile crocodile on the lid, and a desk set, dated 1798, with an inkwell in the form of a canopic jar— the vessel that held the internal organs of a body during the mummification process.
British interest in ancient Egypt flourished throughout the 19th century, McKellar says, boosted by the Great Exhibition of 1851 and the erection of Cleopatra’s Needle, an Egyptian obelisk, in 1878, both in London. But it was the 1922 discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings that sparked the second global wave of Egyptomania.
Subsequent art deco design drew heavily on ancient Egyptian influences. The Singer Sphinx sewing machine, popular in the 1920s and 1930s, and khayamiya —a textile appliqué used for tents—both featured in the Soane show. “We know these were marketed widely,” says McKellar of the latter. “They would have been used in all sorts of forms, from fabric hangings to cushion covers, essentially to bring that little bit of Egypt into the home.”
In contemporary interiors, ancient Egypt is typically represented through this art deco lens, says Alex Kravetz, creative director at Alex Kravetz Design in London. Ancient references should be kept subtle, he says. “The danger is to take the interior a little bit too far, and I don’t think anybody wants to be in that style, strictly speaking, today.” The vaulted bar Kravetz’s studio designed for Denham Place, a restored Grade I-listed country

IN THE HOME
estate in Buckinghamshire, U.K., includes a console inspired by the Egyptian revival style popular in early 19th-century decor. The table is supported by a gilt sphinx, says Kravetz, while the apron has “pseudo-hieroglyphic” panels and “lotus/papyrusstyle” repeating borders. Cavetto-type moldings and a black marble base with gilding echo the stone and gold of temples.
Cairo-based studio Yasmina Makram also draws subtly on Egypt’s history for its luxury interiors, says founder and creative director Yasmina Makram Ebeid, with a “small nod” to ancient Egypt, but also more recent design periods. The entrance to the Nile Jewel apartment that the studio completed in the Egyptian capital in 2024, for example, draws on the “opulence” of Egypt in the 1950s and 1960s, she says. But it also features black-and-white marble flooring inspired by the lotus flower, a prominent symbol in ancient Egypt.
The studio’s homeware range, meanwhile, include the pharaonic templeinspired Nû chair, which Makram Ebeid says draws on proportions and forms of furniture in Cairo’s museums, and the Hotep series of ceramic statues inspired by canopic jars and ancient Egyptian gods.
Designers continue to use ancient Egypt as a reference point because the civilization and its makers “were so ahead of their day,” says Makram Ebeid— in terms of architecture, materials, even lighting. Think of the pyramids, she notes: it remains a mystery to this day how they were built. “When you look at the forms they’ve left behind, it’s so contemporary.” 0
