INTERIOR & DÉCOR, but with a twist

In the heart of the Marais, one of Paris’s most layered and culturally dense districts, Caudalie’s new headquarters designed by ciguë emerges as a discreet yet deeply revealing intervention. The project occupies three contiguous historic buildings – two 15th- and 16th-century hôtels particuliers and an industrial structure from the Eiffel era  for a total of approximately 5,000 square metres

New York waterfront apartments often rely on the same visual language: expansive glass walls, polished surfaces, and panoramic views treated as the primary design feature. At One Williamsburg Wharf, however, the interiors take a more restrained and materially driven approach, using texture, curvature, and muted tonal layering to engage with the East River in a quieter way.

Set along the eastern shore of New York’s Finger Lakes, the village of Aurora has long existed in a quiet dialogue with its past. Its buildings – brick, timber, and memory – trace a layered history shaped by agriculture, industry, and education. The restoration and expansion of the Farmhouse at the Inns of Aurora Resort & Spa adds a new chapter to that narrative, one that is less about preservation as an endpoint and more about continuity as a design strategy.

At the heart of Next Place Hotel 2026 lies a clear proposition: hospitality is no longer confined to function or form, but unfolds as an evolving, experiential narrative. Nowhere is this more evident than in Next Place Brera, the exhibition’s focal point in Milan’s creative district, where curatorship becomes the primary design tool.

Step inside Residences 6A and 6B at The Willow, and you immediately sense a dialogue between architecture and interiors – a conversation orchestrated by Claudia Allegra Interiors that turns materiality into mood and detail into narrative. Nestled in Manhattan’s historic Gramercy neighborhood, these two residences showcase how thoughtful design can bridge the city’s classic architectural language with a modern, lived-in elegance

Maison Mattelin, the latest project by Antwerp-based interior architect Merijn Degraeve, is a 240 m² duplex penthouse that transforms two separate apartments overlooking Ghent’s Citadelpark into a singular, house-like home. Conceived for entrepreneur Gilles Mattelin, the residence balances intimacy with character, offering both a private retreat and a space for entertaining.
