Oliver Gustav

Sommaire

• Anna Karlin

  The eclectic
  designer has opened her first
  showroom in New York
  in a former print shop, whose
  industrial setting she has
  preserved. It’s the ideal backdrop
  to expose her contemporary,
  materials-oriented creations – the
  judicious contrast with the time
  worn décor sets off her poetical
  pieces to perfection.

• Gallery of curiosities

  The Copenhagen gallery of
  aesthete Oliver Gustav brings together
  antiques and contemporary creations
  in a setting that seems marked by
  the patina of time. An ideal backdrop
  to showcase the boldest looks
  for autumn 2018 – audacious
  and sculptural silhouettes whose
  radical inspiration has a resolutely
  medieval and monastic vibe.

• Landon Metz

  For Brooklyn-based
  painter Landon Metz
  form takes precedence
  over appearance. We
  caught up with this young
  artist from Arizona, in the
  midst of the urban jungle,
  surrounded by collectible
  pieces of furniture in the
  studio where he captures
  time’s essential
  abstractions on canvas.

• Architecture by Franklin Azzi

  Franklin Azzi, currently
  working on the Mama
  Shelter tower in Dubai, is
  still in the running for the
  French pavilion at the 2020
  World Fair and has just
  completed Maison Plisson’s
  new store in Paris, not
  forgetting Jérôme Dreyfuss’
  latest boutique in London
  and a soon-to-be-finished
  private home in Saint-
  Tropez. We met with
  the prolific architect in
  Beaupassage, the new
  food spot of the capital,
  whose facades he designed.

• Aure Studio

  Johanne Aurebekk and Fredrik Egeland Aartun work for Frama studio design.
  As a couple, they explore other creative fields with Aure Studio, the multi-creative
  structure they founded with two other people and whose activities range from art
  to objects and clothes, amongst others. And there’s more to come. We caught up
  with the couple in their small Copenhagen apartment.

• Irish Weaving

  As part of Paris
  Design Week, Margaret Howell’s
  flagship store on Place de la
  Madeleine is presenting an
  exhibition and articles resulting
  from its exclusive collaboration
  with Mourne Textiles, a historic
  weaving workshop founded by the
  Norwegian designer Gerd Hay-
  Edie near the Mourne Mountains
  in Northern Ireland. What better
  excuse to look back at the history
  of the weaving company.

• Sarah Kaye Rodden’s forms & sculptures

  Four years ago,
  Sarah Kaye Rodden said
  goodbye to London and
  left busy Battersea for the
  calm and peaceful village
  of Brasted, its High Street
  and antique shops. Now
  the artist and her family
  are enjoying the calm
  of life in the countryside
  – where better to get the
  creative juices flowing

• The organic universe of Valentin Loellmann

  In the Dutch city of Maastricht, Valentin Loellmann has
  fashioned a unique refuge for his family in which the sensual, organic
  lines of the interior blend with a curated choice of objects that,
  like his furniture, are a perfect marriage of art and craftsmanship

• Jean-Christophe Aumas and his cabinet of singular curiosities

  In his Parisian apartment, Singular agency’s founder
  develops an atypical vibe, intelligently guided by his
  cutting edge and slightly whimsical taste. Works of art
  and design pieces subtly blend together in a beautiful
  setting that has a thousand and one surprises

• Designer Mylène Scotto’s live-in atelier

  Mylène Scotto,
  founder of home décor
  brand Georges, lives
  and works in a very rural
  location, a small village
  nestled between the
  mountains and rivers
  of South-West France.
  It is here that she imagines
  her poetical creations,
  taking her time and trying
  her hand at new creative
  techniques. We visited
  her home cum workshop.

• The Brutalist home of a collector

  In Mexico City, the Belgian architect Nicolas Schuybroek has
  transformed a large, derelict, concrete house built in the 70s into an
  elegant minimalist refuge for hotel owner and collector Moisés Micha,
  a place where, from now on, luxury, calm and voluptuousness reign supreme.

• The Jaffa by John Pawson

  South of the exuberant city of Tel Aviv, a new haven of peace
  brightens up historical Jaffa port. The old stones of a former
  hospital, transformed into a luxury hotel by the nimble fingers
  of architects, bear witness to the 4,000-year history of Jaffa.

• Japanese crafts in Tottori

  Just an hour’s flight from Tokyo, Tottori is one of those places
  where western tourists rarely set foot, but which is appreciated
  by Japanese artists and city-dwellers in search of tranquillity and
  its excellent craftsmanship, influenced by Mingei philosophy.

• Septime on the countryside

  What are the gang
  from Septime doing here?
  Well they have made their
  way to Perche, an area
  of north-western France
  around 150 km from Paris.
  Bertrand Grébaut and
  Théophile Pourriat
  welcomed us to their latest
  playground: a guest house
  and small restaurant in the
  middle of the countryside. —

• Seri Wada’s Zurich

  A former financier turned baker, Seri Wada reputedly
  makes the best baguettes and croissants in the whole of Zurich.
  He took us to visit this city that he knows well, seeing
  as he criss-crosses it every morning on his bike.
