A micro-hotel within a factory, a grand courtyard inside a storied Milanese building: this is the Mua Mua Hotel, a project from Tom Dixon's Design Research Studio. Born as a temporary showcase for Dixon's collections during Milan Design Week, it has since opened its doors as a permanent hotel.
Purroy represents something important in contemporary tile design. She is multidisciplinary by necessity and conviction, committed to keeping centuries-old ceramic craftsmanship in dialogue with modern digital techniques. For Purroy, luxury means care, not cost, and that conviction runs through every firing, every layer of gold, every surface that leaves her studio.
The new 101 Secrets is built around a rather elegant refusal to show off the one thing a watch is supposed to show. Time, kept quietly. Jaeger-LeCoultre has been doing that for nearly a century, and it still does it better than most. We love it because, for once, the bracelet is the point and the watch is the reward.
What connects all of these estates isn't a single architectural language or a wine style. It's a shared conviction: that the place where wine is made and experienced should tell the same story as what ends up in the bottle.

The Julius Prague is one of those rare hotels that works for everyone without feeling generic. The design crowd will appreciate Matteo Thun's interiors.

Niemeyer built everything she has from a place of personal conviction. She made what she wanted because what she wanted did not exist. Decades later, in a museum designed to ask questions about the future, the result of that conviction filled a runway and felt, in every sense, like something that will last.
Miyake may have passed in 2022, but his thinking feels more alive than ever.

How can fabric enable movement – physical, social, and emotional?
