A room with a view: fashion designers’ line of sight

From Manolo Blahnik to Margaret Howell, we’ve invited fashion designers to document by hand what they can see from their work desk or window, be it a view of a verdant garden landscape, or an urban snapshot of baroque architecture. They might just inspire you to work on a self-isolation sketch of your own

‘I like to start with an idea in my head. And then I'd like to let it take its course in a way that's more natural and less predetermined. I'm a working artist, so I need to be in the frame of mind of doing what it is I love to do, and I have to be in that frame of mind all the time,’ says artist @rashidjohnson of his creative process.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ‘Writers write, painters paint, filmmakers make films. I don't need inspiration. That's for amateurs.’ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Art history, personal narratives, literature and philosophy all factor into Johnson’s multidisciplinary output. It’s embedded with everyday materials and objects, such as radios, shea butter, record covers and tropical plants, often associated with his childhood and referencing aspects of African-American identity. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ He was one of 14 New York-based artists to sit for a portrait by Brigitte Lacombe for our May 2020 issue, to celebrate Hauser & Wirth’s upcoming space in Manhattan, on 542 West 22nd Street.

To mark the 20th anniversary of Wallpaper’s #ArchitectsDirectory, we’ve selected 20 of the most promising architectural practices worldwide for 2020.⁠ ⁠ Oculi House is a combination of old and new, outdoor and indoor, strengths and weaknesses. Realised by Brooklyn-based O’Neil Rose Architects (@oneill_rose_architects ), the historic New York townhouse adopts traditional craft in its thoroughly contemporary design solutions.⁠ ⁠ Made up of Devin O’Neill and Faith Rose, the practice had a key challenge on their hands with this commission: namely, how to brighten up the attic space. The architects know light is key to human life, and in this typical New York brownstone, where natural light was sparse, they looked to engineering a ceiling that ushers in the vitamin D. ‘For us, designing a home means inspiring people to explore and express how they coexist within the larger landscapes of their lives, and creating rich and meaningful places in which our clients can live, work, and play,’ they say.⁠ ⁠ Inspired by the sculptural forms of legendary Japanese American artist and landscape architect Isamu Noguchi, they carved out two expressive oculi in the ceiling using 3D computer modelling – these sweeping designs were then mastered by artisans who honed in on old stone and plastering techniques.⁠ ⁠ Take a further look inside Oculi House through the link in bio.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #ArchitectsDirectory2020 #ONeillRoseArchitecture #ResidentialArchitecture #AmericanArchitecture #Houses
To mark the 20th anniversary of Wallpaper’s #ArchitectsDirectory, we’ve selected 20 of the most promising architectural practices worldwide for 2020.⁠ ⁠ Femke van de Voort established #FemArchitects just a year ago. But the Amsterdam-based practice has already created a confident and unapologetically tough looking take on the affordable family home. The Row House, built on the site of a former brick factory in the Klaprozenweg area of the city, is slim and muscular with a façade of ridged custom-made CorTen steel sheets. Rhythmic vertical recesses create striking shadows and, along with tall, deep-set windows, create a sense of looming but well-proportioned elevation.⁠ ⁠ The interior though is open, light-filled and smartly utilitarian. Designed as a live-work space, there are double height spaces at the front and rear of the house, one of which can be converted into a private office using steel and glass doors (all architects will now, of course, be considering similarly smart ways to create domestic work areas). There’ s more living space on a mezzanine level and bedrooms on the second floor.⁠ ⁠ The rear façade is softer but in impact but just as well executed a composition; two volumes in white stucco overlooking a patio garden and a loggia that will eventually lead to studio apartment. The plans also allow for the addition of a two-storey penthouse with its own entrance, designed to accommodate the client’s parents. Multi-generation capacity was a priority and a key concern for the client, as was sustainability, despite a strictly limited budget. The exterior timber-framed walls are filled with cellulose insulation and internal walls and floors have all been built using cross-laminated timber.⁠ ⁠ Take a closer look at Row House through the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ (📸:@isabelnabuurs)⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #ArchitectsDirectory2020 #FemArchitects #SouthAfricanArchitecture #Houses #ResidentialArchitecture #WallpaperMagazine
Created in Copenhagen using all natural ingredients, @framacph’s St. Pauls Apothecary Collection is designed to promote calm and well being. 🙏⁠ ⁠ A foray into beauty and wellness from the multi-disciplinary design studio, each product comes in custom coloured Italian glass bottles and is imbued with Frama’s aromatic scents. The range available now from @store.wallpaper includes a Hand Wash, Body Wash and Body Lotion - all 100% natural and made using gentle formulas that will hydrate and soothe skin. ⁠ ⁠ Complementing the range are two signature perfumes - ‘1917’ and ‘St. Pauls’ encased in chic black glass atomisers which will bring elegance to any bathroom shelf.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in bio to shop at #WallpaperStore⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #Wellness #Beauty #Frama #Copenhagen #WallpaperMagazine⁠ ⁠
To mark the 20th anniversary of Wallpaper’s #ArchitectsDirectory, we’ve selected 20 of the most promising architectural practices worldwide for 2020.⁠ ⁠ Perched on a steep hillside in rural Mexico, Casa Martha matches geometric rigour with a raw, favela functionality. The house is the work of Naso (@nasomx), a practice founded by José Ignacio Varas in 2018. It was built on the site of a house destroyed by an earthquake in 2017 and is one of 50 houses built as part of the ReConstruir México project.⁠ ⁠ Casa Martha was constructed on the footprint of the damaged house and is designed to accommodate the family who lived there, an elderly couple with mobility problems and their two chilidren. And Vargos was determined that both generations could support each other but also live as independently as possible.⁠ ⁠ The layout and circulation of the house are clear and unobstructed with the kitchen, dining room, bathroom and two bedrooms all on the ground floor. Sliding doors open much of the space to the outdoors and a large porch. A third bedroom is housed on smaller second level, topped with a barrel-vaulted concrete roof, which has its own entrance via an outside staircase. The house is close to the towns Malinalco and Chalma, major draws for pilgrims and tourists, and the second floor could be rented out to provide extra income for the family.⁠ ⁠ Take a closer look at Casa Martha through link in bio.⁠ (📸:@maureenme)⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #ArchitectsDirectory #Naso #MexicanArchitecture #ResidentialArchitecture #Houses #WallpaperMagazine
The Wallpaper* #ArchitectsDirectory has turned 20, and to mark the occasion we catch up with some of our over-500 alumni.⁠ ⁠ Located on the edge of Peckham Rye Park, sit ten immaculately clad apartments by Tikari Works (@tikariworks). ⁠ ⁠ Replacing a dilapidated two-storey post-war building and four garages, the project is not only formally respectful to its surroundings; it was also designed to be sustainable and support the environment. Aiming for efficiency in both energy and cost, the team opted for the use of a cross-laminate timber frame for the structure. ⁠ ⁠ The structure's ambition is to create ‘exciting, sustainable homes, full of detail, craft and delight,’ says the architecture team.⁠ ⁠ Explore Tikari Work's Peckham apartments through the link in bio.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #ArchitectsDirectory #TikariWorks #SustainableArchitecture #Houses
‘Looking at people and experiencing the emotional impact of the life that they lived, it adds to the expressiveness of the portraits. Because a lot of the time my paintings are about people,’ @artistgeorgecondo tells us.⁠ ⁠ Condo’s portraiture is populated with invented characters with bulging eyes, asymmetrical faces with comical expressions, and bizarre bodies. He pays tribute to Old Master portraiture while nodding to the ambition and hysteria of contemporary American society, and collapsing hierarchies between the beautiful and the grotesque, and the comic and the tragic.⁠ ⁠ He was one of 14 New York-based artists to sit for a portrait by Brigitte Lacombe for our May 2020 issue, to celebrate Hauser & Wirth’s upcoming space in Manhattan, on 542 West 22nd Street.

To mark the 20th anniversary of Wallpaper’s #ArchitectsDirectory, we’ve selected 20 of the most promising architectural practices worldwide for 2020, including TW Ryan Architecture studio (@twryanarchitecture).⁠ ⁠ Thomas Ryan worked at well-known New York studios, including Richard Meier & Partners and Christoff Finio Architecture, before setting up shop on his own with TWRA in 2013. His striking, clean geometries have already won him the Deborah Norden Prize from The Architectural League of New York, and a Design Research Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. His portfolio spans residential and art-related commissions, including Three Chimney House, a family home in Virginia, inspired by the land it sits on.⁠ ⁠ The client, a small young family, was keen for the narrative of the home to engage with the area’s rich past. In the civil war, the project’s 45 acres played host to a hospital for the wounded, while other past uses have spanned open fields for horse training and grazing, and land for a weathered hunting cabin in 1960s. Now, TW Ryan Architecture was adding another chapter to this story.⁠ ⁠ Read more about Three Chimney House through the link in bio.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #ArchitectsDirectory #TWRyanArchitecture #ResidentialArchitecture #AmericanArchitecture #Houses⁠

UNIFORM (@uniform_scents) is a new Swedish fragrance brand inspired by high-rise architecture. 🏙️ ⁠ ⁠ Founded by young creative, Haisam Mohammed (@haisam._), the range consists of three perfume oils that blend transportive scents from around the world. Each fragrance is vegan, cruelty-free and produced sustainably.⁠ ⁠ The son of immigrants who escaped the conflict in Eritrea, East Africa to move to Sweden, Mohammed often found himself drawn to the stairwells of the high-rise buildings he grew up in. It was in these meeting points between homes that the scents from the different households would cascade – from cooking, incense burning, and spices. ⁠ This blend of cultures formed the inspiration behind UNIFORM's signature scents.⁠ ⁠ The brand recently caught the attentions of @acoldwall founder Samuel Roos (@design.by.samuelross) who who selected it to receive a grant from his foundation supporting Black-owned businesses.⁠ ⁠ Meet the creator and find out more via the link in bio.⁠ ( 📷 : @fredrikaugustsson )⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #UNIFORM #fragrance #nichefragrance #SwedishDesign #ScandanavianDesign #AColdWall #SustainableBeauty #BlackOwnedBusiness #WallpaperMagazine⁠ ⁠
