BARBARA PROBST Photographer Based between New York and Munich, German photographer Probst toys with the moment of photographic exposure, taking simultaneous shots using multiple cameras placed in different locations. For our fashion story (page 208), she dissects the dynamism of New York, offering dual perspectives of moments on a SoHo street: ‘My work reveals the idea that we are all subjective; the way we look at things is very different and not necessarily right or wrong.’ BEPPE BRANCATO Photographer We’re very much at home in The Wallpaper* House this issue (page 113). Our room-by-room round-up of this year’s most fanciable furniture was photographed by long-time Wallpaper* contributor Brancato. ‘I like to get on set with a free mind, without boundaries, to be able to play with the lights like I…

Increasingly popping up in hip bars on both sides of the Atlantic is pétillant naturel (or pét-nat), a gently sparkling wine. This new trend is actually the revival of an ancient technique, méthode ancestrale, where fermentation is halted in winter and restarted in spring. The result is unfiltered full flavours and a finer bubble. ‘I love pet-nats because they break the monopoly of champagne and prosecco,’ says Pierre Malouf, general manager at Ottolenghi restaurants. ‘They are fresh, not too high in alcohol, and have a serious backbone. To me, they embody the winemaker’s relationship with his or her land and grapes.’ One such winemaker is Ben Walgate of Tillingham Wines in East Sussex. When he released a pet-nat last year, it sold out in five days. ‘Our farming is organic,…

River beds W, BRISBANE Brisbane has always been somewhat overshadowed by its flashier southern siblings Sydney and Melbourne, but the arrival of the W brand on the city’s river foreshore may be a sign of a rebalancing. Taking up an entire city block in Brisbane Quarter – a new mixed-use development in the CBD – the 312-room tower was designed by Australian architects DBI, with interiors by Nic Graham, Fabio Ongarato and Amanda Love. Without straying from the W’s outre vibe of bold patterns and colours, the designers have incorporated quiet riparian themes that range from stylised reeds lining the reception staircase to tidal markings based on river flood lines weaving through the corridors. Local restaurant Three Blue Ducks has opened an outpost featuring Down Under fare such as spanner…

FOR STOCKISTS, SEE PAGE 224 ‘ATOLL’ SOFA by Antonio Citterio Italian maestro Antonio Citterio has been designing sofas for B&B Italia for years, yet shows no signs of running out of ideas. His latest modular seating system, ‘Atoll’, includes chaises longues, pouffes and this perfectly symmetrical sofa. Its expansive, slender base – in pewter or black chrome – emphasises the line between the frame and the cushions. Whether in fabric or leather, it’s just what we need for a long lie down. ‘Atoll’ sofa, from £5,702, by Antonio Citterio, for B&B Italia, bebitalia.com ‘PROFANA’ LAMP by Pedro Paulø-Venzon Brazilian designer Pedro Paulo-Venzon is known for his slender steel-frame creations.

FOR STOCKISTS, SEE PAGE 224 ‘METEO’ PARASOL by Konstantin Grcic This square sunshade marks the start of an ongoing collaboration between designer Konstantin Grcic and Spanish outdoor specialist Kettal. Featuring Grcic’s signature pared-down geometric lines, ‘Meteo’ is currently available in a basic version, which opens with a classic manual pulley system, and, for those who prefer their garden furniture to do the work for them, a version with an integrated gas piston for opening and closing. Further models, exploring other mechanical systems, are in the works. The parasol’s base plate is offered in a choice of cast iron or sheet metal, colour-coated to match or contrast with the sunshade, which comes in a selection of hues from Kettal’s Terrain fabric collection, created for the brand by London design studio Doshi…

For stockists, see page 224 Everyday objects laden with metaphor, linear objects drooping against walls, and mirror images with deliberate imperfections lend a hallucinatory quality to the works of Alicja Kwade, unsettling our understanding of science and the meaning of reality. In happy contrast, her dish of choice is a simple green papaya salad. ‘The first time I made it was during an artist residency for L’Association Martiniquaise pour l’Art Contemporain in Martinique,’ she says. ‘Their small boathouse is the most beautiful place on earth I know.’ For Kwade’s recipe, visit Wallpaper.com…

the young fashion designer taking menswear to the max So… you don’t drink coffee? Unfortunately not! I’m very into tea. Where does your creative spark come from? I’ve always been into photography. I think it’s that emotional connection to people, or to the way people are represented, that grounds what I do, and was something I was aware of growing up. How did you get into fashion? It felt like a way to turn how I see the world into something tangible. It was always going to be something academic or something to do with art, and I suppose I’ve just tried to marry both things together. Have you considered designing for women? The way I design menswear requires having distance, space to project an image. Once you understand that…

Dressing well when the weather can’t decide what season it is can be a tricky art. For accomplished trans-seasonal dressing – particularly in regions that are as susceptible to spots of sun as Baltic breezes – layering is key. Chunky cardigans, padded gilets, shirts and coats are essential items for your arsenal of overlappable items. Remove one layer, like outerwear specialist Valstar’s shearling-lined jacket or Bottega Veneta’s cashmere coat, to reveal another equally covetable item. Now we’re rain-or-shine ready.…

Jaffa, the oldest neighbourhood in modern-day Tel Aviv-Yafo, is famed as the port of departure in the biblical story of Jonah and the whale. Today, cranes punctuate the skyline, scaffolding is as synonymous with the area as its golden cobbled streets, and there have long been gripes that Jaffa would eventually share a similar fate to the man in the tale and be swallowed up – in this case by glossy hotel and residential developments. Thankfully, most recent projects have been sympathetic to the area’s historic character and distinct aesthetic, the latest being The Jaffa Tel Aviv, a 120-room luxury hotel and 32 residences close to the district’s ancient centre. A renovated 19th-century hospital combined with a substantial new-build, the hotel is a cross-continental collaboration: the original structure, crumbling and…

FOR STOCKISTS, SEE PAGE 224 ‘STAND BY ME’ BED by Francesco Binfarè It’s 25 years since Francesco Binfarè and Edra got into bed together, so to speak, making this an apt design to mark their years of collaboration. It’s not just supremely comfortable for sleeping, but for reading and film-watching, too – its headboard features two of Binfarè’s signature ‘smart’ cushions, generously padded and fully adjustable. Price on request, for Edra, edra.com ‘LITA’ TABLE LAMP by David Dolcini Part of a small lighting collection exuding elegant simplicity, this pleasingly pared-back lamp combines a rounded wooden base with a globe-shaped diffuser in opaline glass. We love the contrast between the traditional, beautifully smooth wooden stem, and the textural exploration and technical innovation of the blown-glass shade, with its tactile surface scaled…

FOR STOCKISTS, SEE PAGE 224 ‘JACK’ BOOKCASE by Michael Anastassiades Michael Anastassiades’ debut design for B&B Italia, this modular bookcase system comes with just as much technological finesse as the minimalist lighting fixtures for which the Cyprus-born, Londonbased designer is known. Offering a new take on the classic 1950s room-divider bookcase, the ‘Jack’ system is available in 14 different heights and boasts a discreet telescopic adjustment mechanism to make sure it fits perfectly wherever it is installed. Anastassiades has subtly concealed the engineered supports holding up the laminated shelves within the system’s vertical, extruded aluminium elements. The shelves come in two lengths, and the bookcase is available in chalk white and black, both in a muted matt finish. ‘Jack’ bookcase, price on request, by Michael Anastassiades, for B&B Italia, bebitalia.com…

Fashion giant Fendi has made its first foray into kitchen design, joining forces with Italian specialist Scic to launch a new brand, Fendi Cucine. Its debut offering comprises two kitchen islands, intended for domestic or professional use. ‘Ginger’, combining marble and copper finishes, and ‘Kurkum’, a stainless steel monolith (pictured), are both designed by Italian architect Marco Costanzi, who also worked with Fendi on its new Milan offices and the renovation of its iconic HQ at Rome’s Palazzo della Civilta Italiana, and has created products for Fendi Casa. Hand-finishing is courtesy of Parma-based Scic’s artisans. ‘Kurkum’ is characterised by its specially treated stainless steel surfaces that combine the material’s signature resilience with a darker, more textured aesthetic. Countertops feature Peltrox, with a pewter-hued satin finish, while doors are made of…

FOR STOCKISTS THROUGHOUT, SEE PAGE 224 The arch has lately become the design meme du jour, backing chairs, supporting tables and holding fronds. There’s barely a sconce, pendant, shelving bracket or mirror currently escaping the treatment. Bridging chasms, rounding out rigid lines, circular thinking… there’s no doubt a socio-political reading to be found in this dominant device. But whatever the motivations, the majestic Roman arch is obvious in its origins, and loops back to more recent moments in design history such as the Memphis era. We’ve gathered some of our favourite examples.…

For Paris-based jewellery designer Annelise Michelson, the shiny gloss of industrial car-spray palettes has long been a source of joy. ‘It’s the energy that these colours express. They make everything feel exciting, like a fast sports car,’ she says, pondering the affinity for vivid coated metal in her own designs. The high-shine melange of purple and icy blue that spills across her new ‘Sea Leaves’ earrings, however, take their tangled tones from another automotive inspiration. ‘I wanted their brightness to have a strange impact, like car oil mixing with water on the road.’ Barcelona-based jewellery label Gaviria also revels in industrial metal influences. Its bright, powder-coated, primary-coloured designs have a sparky character that tugs on unnoticeable, everyday details, such as the undulations of a car grille. Swiss high jeweller Suzanne…

A new skincare line by Aman does its best to embody all the sense of place, becalming architecture, nature and wellbeing that the resort chain famously espouses. Aman Skincare is launching on the occasion of its 30th anniversary and Kengo Kuma was charged with designing the range’s packaging. The resorts’ Eastern origins are channelled in the sake bottle silhouettes while Japanese rice paper, ceramic and burnt cedar are referenced in the containers’ high-tech finish. An exotic roll-call of ingredients includes powdered pearl, cactus oil, algae, wild-harvested butters and muds from the rainforest, amethyst and jade, copper and silver. The active aspects of these ingredient gems have been targeted for their ability to restore, transport and transform. They can’t replace a body, heart and soul nourishing trip to Amangiri in the…

‘NO. ONE’ DINING TABLE by Aldo Bakker Lessons in balance and control, the work of Amsterdam-based Aldo Bakker includes refined forms that put texture and materiality to the fore. His usual sense of reduction is apparent in his latest creation, the ‘No. One’ dining table for Karakter. Created in solid oak, with a smooth, clear lacquered finish, the elegant design is defined by a single, slender but super-sturdy foot that supports the 2.2m tabletop. As well as this rectangular version, a smaller circular model is also available. ‘No. One’ table, €4,159, by Aldo Bakker, for Karakter, karakter-copenhagen.com ‘IPNO’ LAMP by Michele De Lucchi All dinner parties benefit from careful ambient lighting, and this particularly proficient suspension lamp is most welcome at our table. Combining an exquisite floral form designed by…

FOR STOCKISTS, SEE PAGE 224 ‘SELENE’ CABINET by Hagit Pincovici Clean and precise, this beautifully crafted low-sitting wooden cabinet comes with a distinctive circular marble door. The piece epitomises the work of Tel Aviv-born, Milan-based designer Hagit Pincovici, whose creations always seem to hit the right balance between bold minimalism and traditional craftsmanship. We love its art deco leanings, and the way the combination of ancient stone, shiny metal legs and lacquered surfaces creates reflections. Produced by Italian company Baxter, the ‘Selene’ cabinet is available in an array of marble finishes, including red Rosso Lepanto Lucido, Gold Calacatta, an elegant brown stone version, and the pure Bianco Gioia, shown here. ‘Selene’ cabinet, price on request, by Hagit Pincovici, for Baxter, baxter.it ‘SIGMUND’ DAYBED by Studio Asaï Part of a small…

‘ALBA’ COOKER HOOD by Valerio Sommella & Alberto Saggia Italian industrial designer Valerio Sommella aims to enhance the functionality, versatility and aesthetic appeal of everyday objects, which he successfully accomplishes with his new ceiling-recessed extractor, designed with Alberto Saggia, for British cooker-hood company Falmec. Housed in a sophisticated geometric glass frame, the rim lights up when the fan is in operation, allowing for heightened visibility on the surfaces below. The mechanics effectively extract moisture from the cooking area and are hidden behind a matt panel that can be painted to blend into the ceiling. ‘Alba’ cooker hood, price on request, by Valerio Sommella & Alberto Saggia, for Falmec, falmec.co.uk ‘SKYLINE B’ KITCHEN ISLAND by Edda Biermann Sleek and sculptural with an industrial twist, the concept for the new ‘Skyline B’…

Since Italian furniture company Poliform’s inception in the 1970s – when the current CEOs, Aldo and Alberto Spinelli and Giovanni Anzani, began to build on the artisanal cabinet-making business they had inherited from their parents – it has steadily expanded and developed its portfolio, cementing its reputation. Driven by integrity, specific technical expertise and a passion for domestic design, in 1996 Poliform acquired Varenna, adding a kitchen-specialist branch to its bythen self-styled ‘ultimate homes super brand’. Varenna stood for extraordinary, functional kitchens conceived to exist in perfect harmony with the Poliform aesthetic. Now, more than two decades later, as part of a bold and ongoing brand development plan to ensure that Poliform continues to shine on an international design stage, the Brianza-based company has unified all its product lines under…
