Famed for his abstract and surprising interpretations of objects and people, one of the most influential artists Pablo Picasso’s works are often associated with bold patterns, abstract outlines and unexpected profiles. His unique way of observing and representing the human body, as well as his distinctive exploration of a space, has inspired and influenced many people in the fields of furniture, interior design and architecture. While you may enliven your space with an explicit tribute to Picasso by showcasing a print or even an original work of his, feel free to bring in a subtle inspiration derived from cubism through soft furnishings, lighting fixtures and decorative accessories in primary colours and figurative shapes.

“THE CLIENTS WANTED TO CELEBRATE THE DANISH CONCEPT OF HYGGE” Multidisciplinary New York architecture and design studio David Scott Interiors believes in a collaborative approach when designing a home, so it always works closely with clients to help convey their unique personalities and tastes. The firm’s most recent project is the 64th-floor apartment home of Manhattan couple Kathleen Sullivan and Helen Stacy. Located in a residential building in Midtown East, and within walking distance of Central Park, Madison Avenue and Park Avenue, this 3,450-square-foot apartment epitomises the sophisticated cosmopolitan spirit of the Big Apple. Within the space are a number of striking avant-garde artworks, including paintings by Larry Poons, Esteban Vicente, Susan Vecsey, Jennifer Hornyak and Amy Kirchner, a crinkled copper wall sculpture by Barcelona-based Mareo Rodriguez, a sideboard sculpture…

LOCATION: OAKRIDGE, VANCOUVER RESIDENCES Prominent Canadian residential developer Westbank unveils what’s claimed to be Vancouver’s largest cultural hub – Oakridge, a monumental mosaic of residential space, retail experiences, public art, culinary delights and a large multi-level public park. At the heart is Oakridge x Clémande, a stunning 17-storey residential complex with homes fully furnished with pieces curated by Parisian designer Clémande Burgevin Blachman, who had a hand in selecting the finest details of each residence – down to each Taschen book in the library, the robes in the bathroom, the utensils in the kitchen and the furnishings in the lobby. Expected to be completed in 2024, its four residence types include studios, one- and two-bedrooms, and penthouses, with Clémande’s refined aesthetic and French savoir-faire pervading the interiors, from the distinctive…

Our homes are our havens – the safe sanctuary where we retreat to enjoy the ultimate pleasures in life. In these troubling times, more than ever, the home is essential to our well-being. Personalising one’s space is always a priority, but we have observed an obvious shift in design aesthetic recently to a preference for calmer, cleaner spaces. Where less is more and the most inspirational of abodes give its inhabitants the ability to reconnect with life’s simple pleasures, refresh and regenerate. I can’t think of a better example than the beautifully crafted homes of Koa Niseko (shot exclusively for this month’s cover story on Pg 58) to better encapsulate this. Conceived by Jason Kuok, the founder and managing director of Supernova Land, together with his partners and close friends,…

Renowned French artist Henri Matisse once said, “Art should be something like a good armchair in which to rest from physical fatigue.” In the same vein, a living space’s ambience is uplifted when it’s imbued with the right piece of art. When the exact right amount of artistic touch is deployed, the rest of the interiors and decorative schemes fall into place. Moreover, it helps mirror the homeowner’s character and narrates a unique story for a space. Art is also seen as a solid long-term investment – one that offers enjoyment as you build your collection. Nonetheless, a lot of us have gone through the painful process of art-meets-decor questions, such as: “How do I choose the right artwork for my space?” “Where should I hang this painting?” “Do I…

Have you ever wondered what the future holds? While we all have hopes and expectations, design professionals never cease to amaze us with their fascinating imaginations that hint at the unknown. Commissioned by Shanghai-based company Fengyuzhu, architecture and design practice Wutopia Lab created China’s first museum for architectural models, The Last Redoubt, at the client’s headquarters. Inspired by Archi-Depot, an architectural model museum in a Tokyo warehouse, Yu Ting, the chief architect of Wutopia Lab, was determined to build a mega-model of a future city. “The museum focuses on models of various built or unbuilt projects; if we look at these vastly different projects from a macro perspective, and ignore the difference in region and time period, they can form a world together,” he explains. By displaying selected models in…

“I KNEW WE WOULD BE CREATING SOMETHING UNIQUE THAT INVOLVED PLENTY OF CUSTOM DESIGNS” We all need a little getaway every once in a while. For high-flying international executive Acha Leke, the desire for a home away from home was prominent, as he needed a sanctuary isolated from his usual fast-paced life. Adam Court, director and designer of Cape Town-based interior design and decor studio OKHA, recalls: “Acha is a bold decision maker, and embodies such an infectious energy and sense of excitement. The moment he requested a modern African design narrative throughout the interior, I knew we would be creating something unique that involved plenty of custom designs.” While the creative journey of Adam and Acha was enchanting, the expansive house is equally hypnotising. Thanks to an elevated position,…
