Astier de Villatte. Delizioso vasellame ma non solo, direttamente dalla loro splendida bottega in Rue Saint-Honoré.

Pierce Healy‘s The Clown Jewels. «For many, contemporary jewellery is viewed as a conundrum and is comparable to trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube covered in Vaseline, whilst watching a David Lynch movie in the dark».

Hannah Waldron‘s Map Tapestries. Città come New York, Venezia e Berlino, insieme al piccolo villaggio giapponese di Minakami, fanno da ispirazione per questi tessili istoriati.

Tea with Georg by Scholten & Baijings. La straordinaria coppia di designer porta la nuova collezione di Georg Jensen su uno dei loro tradizionali allestimenti da tè, con risultati prevedibilmente incantevoli. La coppia è presente anche con un’installazione per Hay, una torre di colori pastello.

@ Spazio Rossana Orlandi, Via Matteo Bandello 14
Rossana Orlandi è anche al Museo Bagatti Valsecchi di via Gesù
e con un’installazione da Zara, in Duomo

Summertime (though the living ain’t easy)

There is a particular kind of August laziness that likes to dress itself up as a fashionable pose: you can’t undertake significant projects in August, you’re not supposed to, apparently, you aren’t even supposed to read anything that’s too complicated (though I wonder, if you
