“G&D were captivated by the architectural charm of their Lisbon apartment, featuring intricate Pombaline style and 19th-century details like ornate ceilings and moldings. Although it required substantial renovation, G&D embraced the opportunity to preserve and restore its historical elements, aligning with their philosophical approach.

This home showcases a fusion of contemporary art, vintage pieces, and their distinctive sculptural furniture designs, particularly featuring ceramics. Collaborating with Portuguese potter Lígia Guedes, their innovative ceramic pieces extend beyond conventional boundaries.

In their woodwork, G&D playfully incorporate local wood species into seating and wall panels, embracing a unique approach. G&D practice also emphasizes collaboration with international talents, who work alongside Portuguese artisans and employ local materials to create special editions available for purchase.

For example, New York-based Korean artist Minjae Kim utilized local pine for their dining chairs, while British designer Charlotte Taylor crafted their daybed from the same timber. Parisian Garance Vallée collaborated with Lígia Guedes to produce their distinctive bedside lamp.”

“This bachelor pad is full of texture and soul, most accurately described a shaving a handsome, global feel. Situated within a newly built modern apartment building, we added depth and paid homage to the client’s treasured Armenian heritage with plenty of Old-World furnishings and rich materials. A small but well-appointed living area that opens onto a lush outdoor space maximizes entertaining opportunities.”

The space may be small but the style is high. From small space dining and built in storage to bold colour and carefully curated personal touches, this apartment by Washington, D.C. based Zoë Feldman is a fresh take on masculine living.

This historical colonial home designed by Nina Farmer is an absolutely beautiful example of how to use colours in a bit subtle but impactful ways, and going more bold in the spaces that can really handle the drama, and layering in unique ways. That library snug type space is on the cover of her new book ‘Timeless by Design‘ and timeless is definitely accurate. I can see these spaces 20 years ago or 20 years from now and being equally as cool as they are now. Photos: David Mitchell.
