If modern escapism is to distract our minds with endless social media or the next stimuli available to us, then we are perhaps disconnected from the environment and objects around us. One where we can find time for personal reflection or inspiration, and communally to reconnect with loved ones, or meet new friends. Designed as a destination for a weekend getaway, our retreat is as comfortable and familiar as home, but with a more tailored focus on luxurious features, warm materials and contemporary design anchored by crafted detail.
Architecturally, curved walls create a feeling of being enveloped, which floor to ceiling windows in key communal areas support the connection to nature and its sense of peace.
Soft, inviting colors including dark burgundy, russet, emerald green, warm greys and earthy neutrals mix with rich woods, textiles and tiles, accented by an eclectic collection of objects that add intrigue and invite conversation. Rooms are mostly open plan, sectioned over multiple levels to create a change of pace from space to space.
By prioritizing warmth, comfort and tranquility throughout, it is a place that encourages hibernation and escapism. The open kitchen was designed to put connection at its heart. Guests can mingle and chat, helping themselves to drinks and snacks from the central island, sitting informally on Wegner bar stools.
A dedicated casual seating area allows guests to linger after dinner, talking late into the night on Wegner lounge chairs. A cozy lounge embraces hygge with a choice of lounge chairs, sofas and daybeds on which to curl up with a book or have the ultimate luxury of the time-poor: a chance for mindful meditation.
A central fireplace creates a soothing atmosphere, complemented by the warm woods, plush leathers and luxurious fabrics of the furniture, from the Kaare Klint sofa to Hans J.
The lounge adjoins the library, a flow of space softened by partitioned walls, allowing guests to relax in the company of others, or find their own hideaway in which to rest and recuperate.
The library offers a retreat into literature, creating a quiet space for guests to escape into a favorite book, write at the Arne Jacobsen Society Table or enjoy pre-dinner cocktails served from crystal ware on the Mogens Koch bookcase. Our spa and wet room is a sanctuary: cocooning guests in tiled and wood paneled curved walls.
An outdoor partially-enclosed terrace promotes the virtues of fresh air and highlights the natural flow between indoors and outdoors. At the same time, each piece offers the highest degree of comfort; ergonomically designed and ideal for both relaxing and socializing. The first floor has a choice of communal areas in which to work, exchange ideas and have the mental and physical space to reflect.
The series focuses on functionality, quality, comfort and aesthetics, designed with a human-centric approach, making it ideal for a flexible, versatile environment.
At the end of the day, guests can retreat to the film room, a raised platform tucked behind the open kitchen. Thus, each surface of the chair fuses into one another, forming elegant seams that mutate from something natural into something more futuristic, making it seem more like a growing organism than a chair. Design is under the spotlight in Milan.
Every year in April, on the occasion of the Salone Internazionale del Mobile, the city opens the doors of its fairgrounds in Rho, its palazzos, and its gardens to introduce new and innovative furniture.
The Moualla Table from Neptun Ozis — a solid wood table with an unusual yet elegant silhouette. New in the successful range are the variants with seat and back shell covered in a combination of fabric and soft nappa leather as well as the Chair.
Inspired by the colors and shapes of nature — like the fine, soft desert sand of the Sahara and its distinctive rocky formations — the materials highlight the value of the products. The GROHE showroom is open to the public from the 17th until the 22nd of April between 10 am and 8 pm, except for Wednesday, the 18th of April, when the opening hours are 11 am to 2 pm.

Fondazione Prada inaugurated Torre, a meter tower and the third structure built on the site of a former gin distillery by Office of Metropolitan Architecture OMA , the firm helmed by Rem Koolhaas.
The white concrete tower boasts nine levels six exhibition floors and three restaurant levels. Paying homage to four variations across the country—the roadside diner, the East Coast luncheonette, the West Coast diner, and the Midwest diner—the space operates as both a functional eatery and a place for panels, gatherings, and presentations.
A meter-long quartz wraparound bar commands center stage, while furniture by Design Within Reach peppers the rest of the interiors.
Great news for sound freaks who don't happen to be minimalists: Sonos has finally veered from its black-and-white color scheme—all it took was the right partner. Via Clerici, 5 —Hadley Keller. Craft-obsessed Jonathan Anderson never stops canvasing the globe for new artisanal talent. For his latest Milan exhibition, the creative director behind Spanish fashion brand Loewe tapped textile geniuses across the globe to create blankets, tapestries, and some eccentric totes using methods both traditional and experimental.
Techniques range from Indian ribbon hand embroidery and African patchwork to Japanese hand-painted silk, and the proceeds from all products will be donated to charities promoting global craft. London-based design brand e15 tapped food designer Laila Gohar to create an installation inspired by its new David Chipperfield—designed Basis trestle table.
Inspired by the Spanish concept of sobremesa, the tradition of gathering around the dining table after a meal, Gohar has arranged household objects from her personal collection into a composition that brings culinary traditions from around the world together at the table. A Scheherazade-inspired installation of tents mixed historical designs and works of art with contemporary pieces, all set to a witchy soundtrack.
Across the courtyard, the duo revealed additions to their Progetto Non Finito and Oggetti collections, among them arachnid floor lamps reminiscent of Louise Bourgeois spiders and a bamboo-clad table in the spirit Gabriella Crespi. And in Dimore's new street-level space down the block, they transformed pieces of furniture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, deconstructing them and injecting new finishes and materials. Molto bene. Via Solferino —Sam Cochran. For his buzzy group exhibition "Unsighted," curator-dealer dynamo Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte delivered a brief to eight designers that was in essence no brief whatsoever: Create something for a venue sight unseen.
Highlights include Omer Arbel's cast-glass vessels, embedded with copper mesh, and Roberto Sironi's poetic juxtapositions of forms based on industrial and classical ruins.
Via Cesare Correnti, 14 —Sam Cochran. The design world's favorite watering hole—Bar Basso—has collaborated with one of its patrons for the first time.
During this year's Milan Design Week the institution's iconic Pepto-Bismol-pink interiors are jazzed up with molecular Welles light fixtures by Canadian studio Gabriel Scott.

Apparatus' Gabriel Hendifar and Jeremy Anderson are masters of reinvention.
Its contents? A collection of jewelry-like furniture and lighting inspired by creative director Hendifar's Iranian roots. Via Santa Maria, 14 —Hannah Martin. The pervading feeling? A nostalgia for individual creative workplaces with personal style that, in a world of one-size-fits-all offices and coworking spaces, feel nearly extinct.
Above, Faye Toogood's interpretation. Piazza Cadorna, 5 —Hannah Martin. Amid the building's timeworn arches, the Brooklyn studio riffed on the notion of kitchen as domestic stage, creating an amphitheater of pedestals with a sculptural island of Caesarstone White Attica at its center.
Melting ice, running faucets, and steam played with the idea of water as the kitchen's main ingredient. Just last year 1stdibs—go-to online marketplace for vintage and antique—expanded its offerings to include contemporary design. From an elegant sand-and-glass bookcase by Fernando Mastrangelo to radical burnished brass-and-silicone chair by Christopher Gentner, it's notably one of the few group shows in Milan that's heavy on American designers.
Lindsey Adelman and Calico Wallpaper teamed up for a joint presentation, titled "Beyond the Deep," after discovering that they were both experimenting with corrosive chemical reactions.
