This Space Looks Like a Hip New Art Gallery. It’s Actually Quite the Opposite.

Peopleographer, the Dusseldorf firm that produces films for brands, has good reason to want to show off its office space: It was designed by the Berlin studio Vaust, and it looks more like a contemporary art gallery than a cubicle farm.

Trip With Us Inside This Neon Fantasy Duplex in Madrid

"Is this even a house?" we wondered to ourselves when we first saw images of this renovation in Madrid, undertaken by the Spanish architects Lucas y Hernández Gil. Called CASA A12, the duplex home — once a deep and extremely dark space — has been turned into a kind of futuristic fantasy wonderland.

A Spanish Architect’s Wildly Colorful Renovation, Inspired By Disco and Nightclubs

Mario Montesinos Marco is just one year out of architecture school, but this marks already the second time we've featured his interiors, and this one's a doozy: For the renovation of a friend's apartment in Valencia's Ruzafa neighborhood, the Spanish architect designed most of the furniture and lighting according to the same principle that drove his art school thesis — "disco space."

Let’s Plan a Trip to One of These Sight Unseen–Approved Design Hotels

Though summer is typically the season of travel, maybe you're like me and haven't gone further than a few miles from home since spring. If that's the case, and you're experiencing a serious bout of wanderlust, here are three hotels that have caught our eye lately for their very Sight Unseen–like qualities.

Is Menorca the Next Puglia? Probably, Thanks to This Hotel Designed By Dorothee Meilichzon

When we first saw photos of the Experimental Menorca, the latest hotel to be outfitted by one of our very favorite interior designers, Paris-based Dorothee Meilichzon, part of us wanted to keep it to ourselves — at least until we got a chance to personally visit it. Especially since its resume is so hip it's almost ridiculous: 43-room agriturismo on an under-developed and overlooked island, Meilichzon's signature style, au courant branding, textiles and ceramics by LRNCE, food sourced from the hotel's garden, pottery and painting classes on offer, owned by a boutique hospitality agency... We could keep going.

This Shoppable Montauk Bungalow is Everything We Want In a Vacation Rental

There's been a major trend lately in creating shoppable vacation rentals, but this breezy Montauk bungalow by Studio Robert McKinley might be the trend's most successful outing yet. Just look at those palm tree–green, lime-washed walls. Does that look like an Airbnb to you?

This Airbnb in the California Desert is Also a Shoppable Design Showroom

Have you ever stayed in an extra-stylish Airbnb and wondered where you might procure, say, the same fluffy towels or the same perfect coffee pourover situation? That's the idea behind Casa Mami, a rental house in Pioneertown, California that doubles as something of a design showroom.

We Thought We Were Over Terrazzo Until We Saw This Epic Apartment in Lithuania

Why do some trends fizz out, while some stick around and — in many cases — keep coming back stronger year after year? Take terrazzo: We've been hawking that gorgeous, endlessly reconfigurable aggregate since at least 2013, but the design world's adoration of it has hardly waned in the six years since. Still, when you find an application that stops you in your tracks, it’s worth noting, which we happily did this week with an apartment in Lithuania by DO Architects.

At Gray Matters’s New Bower-Designed Showroom, the Shop Matches the Shoes

Since founding her cult-favorite shoe line Gray Matters in 2015, designer Silvia Avanzi has made sculptural heels her signature — suede-covered cubes, Plexiglas diamonds, hand-painted stones, and lacquered eggs have all offered support for her sandals, pumps, boots, and slingbacks. So it makes sense that when Avanzi went looking for a studio to design her new Brooklyn showroom, she chose Bower, a firm that knows a thing or two about unexpected sculptural details.

In Tribeca, a Must-Have List of Design Objects — And One Killer Terrazzo Bathroom

If there's anything we love more than peeking inside our creative friends' homes, it's seeing how those same people choose to live within two very different settings. This is rare, of course, but today we're getting just such a treat, courtesy of Partners & Spade co-founder and creative director Anthony Sperduti.

Is This New, Gleaming Bookstore in Hangzhou the Future of Books?

We marvel at pretty much every bookstore brave enough to open in today's retail landscape, but that goes double for the new Harbook shop in Hangzhou, designed by the Shanghai studio of Alberto Caiola. A sprawling 6,500 square-foot playground filled with monumental custom furnishings and rows of thick steel archways, it's almost touching in how it seems to channel the glory days of the early 2000s, when ambitious "concept stores" still flourished and Amazon hadn't yet ruined books for everyone else.

Luca Guadagnino’s First Interior Design Project is an Ochre Mansion on Lake Como (Because Of Course It Is)

Pretty much every design person we know has been obsessed with the Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino since I Am Love, the Tilda Swinton movie shot primarily on location at the Villa Necchi, a Piero Portaluppi–designed home in the middle of Milan that's something of a design-world touchstone. So it's no surprise that there was a general freakout this weekend when T Magazine published Guadagnino's inaugural experiment in interior design.
