At a time where most art galleries and institutions are still oscillating between the real world and a virtual one, the contemporary art and design gallery Salon 94 (@salon94) has doubled down on in-person viewing with the unveiling of a new home on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Salon 94’s founder Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn bought the palatial six-storey building in 2019, and turned to her friend, the architect Rafael Viñoly (@rva_ny), to bring the 17,500 sq ft mansion up to date. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Greenberg Rohatyn also enlisted some of the designers she represents, under the Salon 94 Design banner, to create permanent, site-specific elements. One such (swipe left to see it) is Philippe Malouin’s ‘Chute’ Chandelier (@philippemalouin), which drops two floors down the gallery’s stairwell alongside an ornate, cast iron and marble oval staircase.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ For more on Salon 94’s new space, see the link in bio, and the May 2021 Issue of Wallpaper* – on newsstands now, and available to download at wallpaper.com. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Photography: @jasonschmidtstudio⁠⁠ Portrait: @ikeedeani⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #WallpaperMagazine #artgallery #newyork #rafaelvinoly #salon94 #contemporaryart #design #philippemalouin

JJ Martin’s @ladoublej just opened its first boutique on Milan’s Via Sant’Andrea, selling the brand’s printed RTW collections, eclectic homewares as well as unique finds like Italian travel books from the 1930s, vintage jewellery and souvenir plates. ⁠ ⁠ The space features antique furniture and interventions by young artists (such as the murals by Romanian artist Aitch in the basement’s ‘Sacred Grotta’, pictured). ⁠ ⁠ ‘Our world has always been a love letter to Italy, from shouting about the legendary ladies of Milan to shining a light on our all-Italian roster of suppliers and artisans that we continue to support,’ reads a statement from the brand, introducing the Milanese store. ‘We love Italy and we’re ready for this town to resurrect.’
After months of shuffling around in our slouchiest separates and tootling about in tracksuit bottoms, we’re eyeing up ensembles with a little more oomph. Flounce was a focus on the S/S21 catwalks, as fashion labels favoured an optimistic, more attention-seeking style, revelling in hardware, sequins, feathers and shimmer. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ At Maison Margiela (@maisonmargiela) for example, fine-feathered pieces such as this nude ensemble with rectangular red patches recalled the froufrou of a 1920s flapper girl. Swipe left to see a black number by Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello (@ysl) that exudes 1960s starlet style, and a Salvatore Ferragamo (@ferragamo) evening look swathed in black and brown plumes.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ For more on our latest fashion picks, see the link in bio, and the May 2021 Issue of Wallpaper* – on newsstands now, and available to download at wallpaper.com.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 📸 : @dougalmacarthur⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #WallpaperMagazine #fashion #ss21 #flapperstyle #featherfashion #maisonmargiela #saintlaurantbyanthonyvaccarello #ysl #anthonyvaccarello #ferragamo⁠⁠
With its latest watch, Montblanc (@montblanc) is determined to keep the spirit of adventure alive. The newly launched 1858 Geosphere Desert Limited Edition is inspired by Italian mountaineer Reinhold Messner (@reinholdmessner_official), one of the world’s greatest living adventurers. Now 76, Messner was the first man to conquer Everest without supplemental oxygen and is perhaps most famous for scaling the Seven Summits, the highest peaks of the seven continents.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ But with this new watch Montblanc is celebrating not Messner’s climbs but his 2004 solo expedition, 2,000km across the Gobi Desert on foot. The watch’s tones nod to the natural environment, while its titanium caseback features a laser-engraved, coloured 3D rendering of one of the stops on Messner’s route, the desert’s landmark Flaming Cliffs.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ For more on this horological gem, see the link in bio, and the May 2021 Issue of Wallpaper* – on newsstands now, and available to download at wallpaper.com.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 📸 : @leon.chew⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #WallpaperMagazine #watches #montblanc #horology #adventure #reinholdmessner #gobidesert #flamingcliffs #bayanzag
Step away from those slouch-inducing sweatpants and oversized sweaters – your aspiration for spring should be sprezzatura, an Italianate nonchalance most effectively achieved through uplifting suiting. We look to subtly oversized proportions that have a laidback lilt, easy unlined silhouettes and fabrics that welcome the warmer weather.⁠ ⁠ Springing into sprezzatura mode, we’ve picked a jacket by Loro Piana (@loropianaofficial), matching it with artist Daniel Reynolds’ (@danielreynoldsstudio) ‘Black, White & Sun Yellow Kinetic Sculpture’ by Daniel Reynolds, from The New Craftsmen (@thenewcraftsmen).⁠ ⁠ For more post-pandemic suiting ideas, see the link in bio, and the May 2021 Issue of Wallpaper* – on newsstands now, and available to download at wallpaper.com.⁠ ⁠ 📸 : @umitsavaci ⁠ ⁠ #WallpaperMagazine #fashion #springfashion #sprezzatura #italianfashion #italianstyle #tailoring #springsuit⁠
Known for its cool minimalism, clean lines and understated interplays of precious metals, French jewellery brand Le Gramme (@legramme_officiel) was founded in 2013 by Erwan Le Louër and Adrien Messié. It is now reshaping men’s jewellery with its latest collection, Segment, a new twist on the classic chain. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Made in France, the new range of bracelets, rings and necklaces features chain links that appear to have been pinched, their forms tweaked so they become cylinders. ‘Like all of our other pieces, it looks very easy but is, in fact, very complex, says Le Louër. ‘We believe that details make all the difference.’⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ For more on Le Gramme’s jewellery, see the link in bio, and the May 2021 Issue of Wallpaper* – on newsstands now, and available to download at wallpaper.com.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 📸: Neil Godwin at Future Studios for Wallpaper* ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #WallpaperMagazine #jewellery #jewelry #frenchdesign #frenchjewellery #frenchjewelry #legramme⁠⁠
Over the past three decades, leading Dutch designer Hella Jongerius (@hellajongerius) has touched upon industrial design, furniture, craft, material explorations and chromatic research. The newest chapter of her work focuses on weaving, a medium that allows Jongerius to explore some of those recurring themes, particularly sustainability, social responsibility, spirituality and ‘the healing function of objects’. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Jongerius, pictured here with one of her textile experiments (swipe left to see a silk-screen print sketch, part of Jongerius’ Woven Systems series), used both traditional and digital looms to create more than 50 new objects and two new installations for her upcoming ‘Woven Cosmos’ exhibition at Berlin’s Gropius Bau (@gropiusbau).⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ‘Craft is now more relevant than ever; these ancient techniques not only have cultural and historical value but also offer real solutions,’ she says. ‘A material never travels alone, it has a huge social and geopolitical agenda. To work towards a carbon-neutral footprint, we have to redesign all of our materials, and that has a lot to do with craft.’ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ For more on Jongerius, see the link in bio, and the May 2021 Issue of Wallpaper* – on newsstands now, and available to download at wallpaper.com.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 📸 : @danipp⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #WallpaperMagazine #hellajongerius #weaving #craft #dutchdesign #digitalloom #wovencosmos #gropiusbau #wovenart #textileart⁠⁠
British ceramics brand 1882 Ltd has launched a new collection of scented candles in ceramic holders designed by some of its most celebrated collaborators. The candleholders – though that description doesn’t really fit their ambition– were created by conceptual artist @brucemcleanofficial and designers @bethangray, Max Lamb and @snarkitecture, whose ‘Dissolve’ candle is pictured here.⁠ ⁠ Shop the collection at @store.wallpaper, via link in bio⁠ ⁠ For more on 1882 Ltd, see the May 2021 Issue of Wallpaper* – on newsstands now, and available to download at wallpaper.com⁠ ⁠ 📸 : @adam.j.barclay⁠ ⁠ #WallpaperStore #WallpaperMagazine #design
Iconic Italian design brand Alessi (@alessi_official) is marking its centenary with a year-long project that pays homage to its fun and colourful homeware. The celebrations kick off this month with Twergi, a collection initially conceived by Ettore Sottsass in the 1980s and now released in new colourways. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Inspired by local wood-turning traditions, Sotsass’ signature colourful totems are scaled down into mundane objects such as jars, fruit bowls, corkscrews and pepper mills. Also included are a magnetic photo holder by Bortolani Becchelli Associati, the ‘Ercolino’ bottle opener by Andrea Branzi, and a photo frame by Kuno Prey.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ For more on Alessi’s centenary celebrations, see the link in bio, and the May 2021 Issue of Wallpaper* – on newsstands now, and available to download at wallpaper.com.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #WallpaperMagazine #design #italiandesign #alessi #ettoresottsass #sottsass #memphisgroup #memphismilano #1980s #homeware #colourfuldesign
