A deliciously modern take on an Art Déco apartment by Paris-based Laura Gonzalez. Form, pattern, and colour all modern but all perfectly referencing the age of symmetry, bold outlines, geometric forms, new materials and the repetition of elements. Sophisticated and elegant. Tiger bedroom anyone?














A warm wind stirs, the cicadas sing, the sun moves lazily across the rooms. Shadow and light, natural materials and a sense of a long, languid presence. We’re in Sydney but it’s the Mediterranean we dreaming of. A casual unaffected elegance. Wilkinson Villa by Handelsmann & Khaw.

Nina Farmer‘s design philosophy is rooted in a classical sensibility with a mixture of furniture and accessories from different periods. It says so on her website. This Westport house mixes that classical sensibility with mid-century chops and just a touch of rock star glam. The result is unexpected, elegant, inviting and timeless.





















From light-filled and open to moody and contained, from clean-lined to layered with texture and pattern, from contemporary to new Mediterranean this Rancho Santa Fe, California home is all about restrained luxury and casual sophistication. A calm oasis in a busy family’s life by Intimate Living Interiors.

This Saint Antoine apartment by Paris-based architectural firm Heju combines a former carpentry workshop and a storage attic above. Open plan living areas on the lower floor are linked to the sleeping areas above by a sculptural metal staircase suspended above the kitchen. By reducing the staircase form to its barest minimum and highlighting the void it becomes lightweight almost like a piece of paper floating in the air.
