Welcome to our womenswear masterclass in minimalist style. Top of our aesthetic agenda? The ultimate pieces for achieving 2021 wardrobe precision. We suggest classic items with a futuristic finesse, like Prada’s (@prada) high-shine, off-the-shoulder blouse, which, in a utilitarian twist, features a roomy chest pocket and seatbelt-inspired fastening. ⁠ ⁠ Right now, we aren't in need of a plethora of outfits but a capsule offering of hard-working, all-weather hits.

For our February 2021 issue, illustrious American photographer @larryfinkphoto photographed our Design Awards judges (via Zoom) from his Pennsylvania farm.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Now, in a more personal mode, Fink has shared his lockdown diaries, shot in and around his home during the last year.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ To accompany the series, Fink offers spontaneous and vivid musings on the objects, animals and textures that surround him. Fink brings everyday encounters to life as we have never seen before. 'The gift of seeing is ours to harvest' he says. 'I am but a gardener planting a seed.’⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #LarryFink #americanphotography #lockdowndiaries #wallpapermagazine

The May 2021 Design Issue of Wallpaper* is on sale from today! Visit wallpaper.com – via link in bio – to read more, and to download your free copy.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Showcasing the unflagging creativity of designers around the world, this issue is a celebration of the inspiring ideas, exhibitions and products to come.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ The legendary @hellajongerius gives us an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of her upcoming solo show at Berlin’s Gropius Bau, which explores experimental weaving techniques, and graces our limited-edition subscriber cover (pictured first).⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ In New York, we visit the new premises of art and design gallery @salon94 on the famous Museum Mile. And in LA, we call on designer Sander Lak, who has turned his attention to interior textiles following the much-lamented closure of his Sies Marjan clothing label. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ We salute the return of one of fashion’s greatest talents, Alber Elbaz (@alberelbaz8) whose new @azfactory label offers ‘meticulously designed, hard-working clothing that will transcend trends’.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ For our blockbuster profile of the fastest-rising star in architecture, Sumayya Vally (@sumi_v) of @counter.space, we asked her to take artist and photographer @mikhael_subotzky around Johannesburg, their adopted hometown.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Our main fashion story, which sees a cast of models step into the streets and green spaces of Paris, reflects our shared desire to once again go beyond the confines of our homes.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ It wouldn’t be a Design Issue without a double helping of interiors stories: photographer @leandro.farina brings his flair for brutalist architecture to our edit of the season’s standout lighting pieces, which also features on our newsstand cover (pictured second); while Barcelona design studio @sixnfive presents visions of outdoor furniture in alluring desert landscapes that has us yearning for an exotic escape.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #WallpaperMagazine #design
Stretching across a triple lot on Malibu’s Broad Beach, this 1953 residence with unobstructed ocean views is the kind of rare find that sets the imagination racing. Yet before Kelly Wearstler (@kellywearstler) moved in temporarily to weather the lockdown with her family (all avid surfers), the house had been on the market for three years, with little interest.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ The designer relished the chance to breathe life back into the underappreciated building. Rich in texture and mindful of context, her apparently effortless melange of design styles has injected a bohemian energy and intimacy to the space, with midcentury pieces looking perfectly at home amid the original timber panelling and shoji screen doors. Unsurprisingly, the beachside retreat has quickly been snapped up by a new owner.⁠⁠ For more on Wearstler’s Broad Beach revamp, see the link in bio, and in the April 2021 Issue of Wallpaper* – on newsstands now, and available to download at wallpaper.com.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 📸 : @ingallsphoto⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #WallpaperMagazine #architecture #beachhome #interiordesign #kellywearstler #malibu #midcenturymodern⁠⁠

A love affair with the Baroque, a playful sense of irony, a captivation with curves and a passion for patterns define the life and work of Italian architect Paolo Portoghesi.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ In our April issue, we pay a visit to the 89-year-old, also an historian, poet, designer and mercurial icon of modern Italian culture, at his house in Calcata, a medieval hilltop town near Rome. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Among his sometimes controversial works are the glorious Sala Portoghesi at the Terme Tettuccio spa in Montecatini, designed by Portoghesi in 1987 and pictured here. ‘Postmodernism represented liberty,’ he says. ‘It was freedom to explore the past or the future. Of course, liberty is dangerous, it can make you do irrational, absurd things. But we all need a spectacle.’⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Find out more about Portoghesi via the link in bio, and in the April 2021 Issue of Wallpaper* – on newsstands now, and available to download at wallpaper.com.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 📸 : @leonardomagrelli⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #WallpaperMagazine #italianarchitecture #italianicon #paoloportoghesi #architecture #postmodersism #termetettucio⁠⁠

From craft-inspired baked kiln homes to comforting jali-walled classrooms, Indian architect Anupama Kundoo (@anupamakundooarchitects) explores groundbreaking techniques to design happiness-inducing buildings for every context. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Having established her own office at the age of 23, Kundoo spent years working on the experimental town of Auroville, in Tamil Nadu, finding her unique architectural approach in the process. In Auroville, she built herself this airy private residence, Wall House, combining innovative technology and age-old local materials such as local bricks. A happy place it sure is.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Find out more about Kundoo’s varied work, as well as her limited-edition cover for us this month, via the link in bio, and in the April 2021 Issue of Wallpaper* – on newsstands now, and available to download at wallpaper.com.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 📸 : @javiercallejas_⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #WallpaperMagazine #architect #auroville #experimentalarchitecture #happyplace⁠⁠
Wearing their art on their sleeves, menswear designers have turned clothing into a perfect canvas. In this sweatshirt by Dior (@dior), Kim Jones (@mrkimjones) was compelled by the emotive and bold brushstrokes of Ghanaian portraitist Amoako Boafo (@amoakoboafo). In a tactile and tonal twist, a figure inspired by his oil on canvas ‘Yellow Dress’ has been translated into knitwear.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Admire more painterly designs by the likes of Loewe (@loewe), JW Anderson (@jw_anderson) and Berluti (@berluti) via the link in bio, and the April 2021 Issue of Wallpaper* – on newsstands now, and available to download at wallpaper.com.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 📸: @dougalmacarthur⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #WallpaperMagazine #ss21 #fashion #menswear #wearableart #knitwear #dior #loewe #jwanderson #berluti
