The most seductive furniture \nbrand will remain as sultry as before, however there is a new \nmature essence that surrounds the brand’s aesthetic.  This new \ndirection follows in the footsteps of Founder Janet Morais, who \nhas successfully grown the brand since its start in 2010. Now \nseven years later, KOKET and Janet have made a statement \nwith the brand’s highly desirable, empowering pieces, and are \nbeginning a new chapter into timeless design. KOKET began \nwith a simple design sketch over cocktails in a New York City \nlounge. From that simple sketch of the Mandy stool, the Guilty \nPleasures collection developed into a decadent luxury brand of \ncase goods, upholstery, lighting and soft goods that had a touch \nof unseen feminine flair such as table legs shaped like a woman’s \nhip bone and upholstery mimicking the curves of a modern \nwoman. With this unique and womanly approach to design, it \nwasn’t long before KOKET was becoming noticed and known in \nthe international luxury furniture market and earning projects \nwith Saks Fifth Ave and Bergdorf Goodman, Universal studios, \nParamount Pictures, and numerous luxury hospitality projects \nacross the world. From the brands’ inception Janet’s vision for \nKOKET was a daring design aesthetic, high impact shows, lavish \npresentations and risque ad campaigns which all proved to have \ntremendous success, this vision gathered attention and conveyed \nthe brand’s mission of creating highly desirable, empowering \nstatement pieces. It wasn’t just the seductive marketing and \nimagery that had people craving KOKET, but the handmade \nconstruction and high quality materials that composed these \nalluring pieces. Magical mineral medlies, luxurious metallics, \nvibrant jewel tones and exotic peacock feathers entice and charm \nunlike any piece of furniture has before. It was this love and \npassion for exotic and provocative materials that provided the \nnext step in KOKETs growth: the KOKET Textiles collection. \nJanet Morais\nFounder of Koket\n",20,{"image":89,"text":90,"number":91},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F5d\u002F7b78286374de24b5e46e3237adadbe.21.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 21.\nTREND FILE\u002F\u002F\nTREND FILE\u002F\u002F\nNaomi Chair \nby Koket\nTears Coffee table\nby Koket\nOpium Cabinet\nby Koket\nThis lavish collection full of glamorous leathers, creamy suedes, \na rainbow of plush velvets, silky sheers and more, allowed clients \nto purchase the coveted materials that compose the furniture \npieces in KOKETs collection. From there, the next step was to \ncontinue to grow KOKET as a brand by introducing a slew of \nnew pieces. Janet Morais could have unveiled the new daring \ndesigns with the usual KOKET attention-grabbing style, but \ninstead considered the future of the brand and retaining its \nestablishment within the luxury design world.  \nDrawing inspiration from Art Deco, Mid-century modern and \nOriental design, Morais and the KOKET designers worked \ntirelessly perfecting countless designs until they captured the \nalluring yet sophisticated new spirit of the brand. Janet Morais \nsat down with Coveted to talk about her journey at the helm of \nthis irresistible brand and the future it holds. \nCoveted Magazine: Tell us about the KOKET brand in your \nown words.\nJanet Morais: KOKET is more than a luxury furniture brand, \nbut a representation of empowerment and desire. A catered \nexperience of fulfillment, attention to needs and a journey into \na reliable world of design. My mission with KOKET has always \nbeen to empower and seduce with daring design, all while giving \nwomen the ability to express their true style. I have always \nthought of KOKET has a glimpse into my personal world and \nwhat moves me, and the growth of the brand is tied to my \ngrowth as well. \nCM: Why have you revamped KOKETs look?\nJM: After about 7 years of success, I felt KOKET needed \nsomething to keep the brand allure and momentum growing. \nIt became time to raise the bar within not only the collection, \nbut the company, encompassing all aspects of the brand. We \nhave gained a lot of success with our daring and extravagant \ndesigns, but now I feel it is time for a more eternal and cultivated \napproach. \nCM: What inspirations did you draw on for this new look?\nJM: A lot of my inspirations are the same, especially the influence \nof Art Deco and oriental design. I looked through a lot of vintage \ndesign archives, pulling designs from different eras then adding \nthe opulent KOKET touch. The sultriness of the 70s era was a \nfocal point for me. I was drawn to their experimentation with \nplayful embellishments and free forms. \nCM: What is different and what is similar about these new pieces \ncompared to the previous pieces? \nJM: This new collection differs in that the pieces are not as \ninventive and elaborate as the icons of the Guilty Pleasures \ncollection. Instead of large, ornamental details I chose to focus on \nthe timelessness of the design while still applying the seductive \nKOKET touch. You’ll still see lavish accents but they are more \nsubtle, like the Nahema chair hand details. I believe we have \nbecome established enough as a brand to apply a more mature \napproach to design. \n",21,{"image":93,"text":94,"number":95},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F5d\u002F7b78286374de24b5e46e3237adadbe.22.png","CM: You chose to unveil new pieces that embody KOKET’s new \ndirection in Europe, Why? Especially when KOKET is the New \nYork City darling.\nJM: The European design scene is edgy and receptive to confidence. \nMy new collection carries an air of confidence that wasn’t there \nin the beginning. Paris is the perfect place to unleash this new \nassurance. Also, it is not enough to unveil a piece of furniture or a \ncollection, people want to experience it. The European design scene \nprovided the perfect venue for guests to get up close and personal \nwith the new collection. Our new pieces unleash a realm of new \nquestions and our Brand Ambassadors are traveling across Europe \nmeeting with top Interior Designers and elite showrooms delivering \nthe full brand experience through our elaborate presentations. \nCM: Tell us the inspiration behind Metal Rage.\nJM: Metal Rage was inspired by the resurgence of punk chic and \nshimmering sultry quality of metallics. I wanted to capture the \nexotic beauty of rebellion via interior design. Or perhaps it was a \nwalk through my closet post fashion week.\nCM: What is your favorite new piece and why?\nJM: My overall favorite piece of the collection is the Bolvardi \nbench. The sultry curves with the black and gold bring out an \nirresistible erotic vibe. But out of the new pieces I would have \nto say the Luna bench. Her design is simply radiant, with the \nbold curved arms, and shimmering metallic reptile leather is to \ndie for! It is a leather that has been in the KOKET collection for \na while, starting with the Drapesse chair, and now it is available \nin the KOKET textiles collection. \nCM: KOKET is known for their use of exotic and quality materials. \nWere any new materials or design styles used on the new pieces and \nif so what\u002Fwhich?\nJM: : This collection shows traces of mid-century modern design that \nis not commonly used in the KOKET aesthetic. The Sofia sofa for \nexample, is a glamorous version of a mid-century modern two-seat \nsofa. We also played with tempered glass, seen in the Amaretto sconce \nand chandelier, which was a new material for us but turned out \nstunning. The way the light plays on the texture is truly remarkable. \nCM: What is your favorite part of the design process? \nJM: Not just creating a piece of furniture, but an experience. I aim \nto cultivate desire within my clients with each piece I make, aspiring \nthem to explore their individual sense of style. I want them to not \nonly like their piece of furniture, but absolutely adore it! \nCM: What can we expect from KOKET in the future? \nJM: KOKET is taking a mature approach to the future, in design \nand audience. The brand will continue to designing pieces for the \nmodern, confident women, that will make a statement while \nfulfilling the client’s needs. And of course KOKETs signature black \nand gold combination is here to stay.  \nAlready making headlines with the empowering statement pieces \nfrom the Guilty Pleasures collection, KOKET recently revamped \nour lavish textile collection to include metallic embossed leathers, \ncolorful sheer prints, striking patterns and show-stopping iridescent \nfeather wallcoverings. This luxurious curated collection is an \nintoxicating blend of alluring materials waiting to cover your home.\nKasehsiah Chandelier\nby Koket\nMandy Sofa\nby Koket\nBolvardi Stool\nby Koket\nLuna Bench\nby Koket\nNot just creating a piece of furniture, \nbut an experience. \n“\n“\n",22,{"image":97,"text":98,"number":99},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F5d\u002F7b78286374de24b5e46e3237adadbe.23.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 23.\nTREND FILE\u002F\u002F\nCOVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 23.\nRevê mirror, Nahéma dining chair, Intuition dining table, Flora sconce and Tiger feathers by Koket\nReptilia floor lamp\nby Koket\nIridescent Peacock wallpaper \nby Koket\nNahema chair\nby Koket\nDivine Armoire\nby Koket\nTextiles  by Koket\n",23,{"image":101,"text":102,"number":103},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F5d\u002F7b78286374de24b5e46e3237adadbe.24.png","Known for its glamour and sophistication, Chanel is a brand that \nis automatically correlated to perfection.

One decade after start working as interior \ndesigner, Peter Staunton is already known by its own style, in \nwhich is possible to feel the rock n’ roll vibe since the first look! \nVery casual and always with a smile, the British interior designer \ntold us more about his work career, his inspirations and the life-\nstyle he sells to his clients.\nCM: How long do you work as interior designer?\nPeter Staunton: : Ten years. I came into this career because it was a \nfamily business. Ten years ago I moved back home from London and \nI’ve been doing it for full time, for ten years.\nCM: And how did you embrace this family business?\nPS: With a completely open mind, always wanting to learn. I’m pret-\nty sure that I will never know it all, and that I can find endless design \ninspiration in the unlikeliest places and people. I also always try to \nkeep pushing creative boundaries and not stand still, as people say; \nyou are always as good as your last design.\nCM: What you look for when you create a space?\nPS: I always try to create something different, something with an \nedge. I think that are a lot of interior designers out there and lots of \nthem look very similar, there are a lot of interior designers and they \ncreate all similar designs, at the end, you don’t know who did what. \nWhen I design a space, I try to create something that is different, that \nhas an edge, a soul, a little of rock and roll, something iconic and I al-\nways try to bring some fearless to it, rather than design something \nthat you know that would work. So, the point of my projects is to \ncreate something that people can look and know “yeah, it’s him”.\nCM: Do you consider you have a signature, something that defines \nyour projects?\nPS: Yes, it’s basically to have a slight edge on rock and roll. It’s kind of \ndifferent. Because we work with so many different clients and they all \nhave different styles, I have to be flexible to work with all of them and \nI always try to bring something into their interiors, that is part of me. \nAnd for me that is the rock and roll: I use a lot of black, different metals \nand refine materials, and then I mix them with lovely velvet and sleek \nblacks with the golds and I think that is the right mix that gives such \nlittle bit of edge and a little bit of rock and rock.\nCM: What do you think that is essential in a home?\nPS: : A soul! And that’s what I look for when I work with clients. It’s to \nfind the balance between what they want and what I believe, my style. \nWe have to respect them because it’s their home but also try to explain \nthem that they came to me for a reason and I want to give them a little \nof what I think that will work. The trick is the balance between these \ntwo. We want people to walk around the house freely and it’s not like \na showroom because it’s very easy to do that. So I always try to create \ninteriors where people feel comfortable and relaxed with friends and \nfamily, a space where people walk in and really feel welcome.\nEXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW\nWITH PETER STAUNTON\nPeter Staunton\nHarbury CountryHouse by Peter Staunton\n",48,{"image":201,"text":202,"number":203},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F5d\u002F7b78286374de24b5e46e3237adadbe.49.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 49.\nCOVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 49.\nHarbury CountryHouse by Peter Staunton\nCM: Do you think the rock and roll vibe is what \nmakes your clients choose you?\nPS: I hope so!

(Laughs) But I \nmean in terms of what I wear and how I look, what I \ndo. It’s my way of saying that it’s my lifestyle; this is \nwhat I believe in.

If you work in a lot of commer-\ncial and hospitality projects, you deal with boards and \ndirectors. They don’t really care, and it’s purely about \nthe money.

But there are a lot of people, you \nknow, people like Lenny Kravitz who has his own design compa-\nny, and the thing is to see that work as a compromise with the \nclient, in which you chop and change the things a little, because \nthe client allows that and you will try to direct for what you think \nwill work and if something doesn’t work, you will tell them. You \ncould be honest with them, but the dream is to have the budget \nand someone says “do what would be your ideal house”.\nCM: Still about your inspirations. \nDo you have any favorite interior designers?\nPS: Lenny Kravitz, because he crosses over music, rock and roll \nand design. He has his own design company and his designs of \nhouses and flats are amazing, moreover, he also collaborates as a \nfurniture designer and with a lot of design projects. \nPeter Marino, the architect is someone who lives his own, and \nhe really does: “this is who I am; you come to me for this all \npackage”. I really like Kelly Wearstler, I love the fact that she has \nher own signature and all Californian vibes. Those few designers \nhave their own look and their own lifestyle. Like I’ve said there \nare a lot of interior designers in London, for example, but I just \nthink that some of them are all the same.\n You can put all their works in one apartment and, in the end, \nyou couldn’t tell the difference between them.\nCM: What do you think are the major interior design trends for \nthis year?\nPS: I think it’s the within design and the mixing of metals, golds, \nand silvers. The goal is to provide spaces in which people can go \nback in the seventies, eighties, it was all about gold, and then it \nwas all about silver, in fact, people used to think that everything \nhad to be gold or silver. So, if two handles are gold, everything \nelse has to be gold. And I think people realize now that they can \nmix the metals and achieve a great finish and there are no restric-\ntions, so you can constantly evolve over time. \nSo, if you are thinking about changing your home in the next \nfive or ten years, maybe you should consider to use mixed metal \nfurnishes, which will give you more flexibility and freedom and \nthat’s what I think is great. I think people are realizing that this \ncombination creates a very interesting space by giving it soul.\nCM: And, to finish, tell us what you love about your work!\nPS: I really love the fact that I have the opportunity to truly \ntransform the feeling, soul, and character of a space, in a positive \nway, and it influences the way people live. What surrounds us \ncan hugely influence the way we feel and how we interact with \nthose around us, and I really want to create this perfect atmo-\nsphere in which people feel comfortable and welcome. \nHarbury CountryHouse by Peter Staunton\n",50,{"image":209,"text":210,"number":211},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F5d\u002F7b78286374de24b5e46e3237adadbe.51.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 51.\nEXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW \u002F\u002F\nCOVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 51.\nHarbury CountryHouse by Peter Staunton\n",51,{"image":213,"text":214,"number":215},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F5d\u002F7b78286374de24b5e46e3237adadbe.52.png","Sara Lança is the face behind BRABBU Design Forces, a high-\nend contemporary furniture brand that provides a modern twist \non mid-century aesthetics.

Currently, \nshe has a successful design practice and a boutique shop in the Unit-\ned Kingdom.\nSubsequent to becoming a mother, Eliská was unable to travel \nas much; for that reason, she started designing fabrics and tex-\ntiles which lead her to room sets and in due course to interiors.

She admires Maison et Objet \nthe most, but she also loves Milan. In addition, she focuses on \nfairs in London.

As \nreported by Charu Gandhi, she learns different philosophies of liv-\ning and unique facts every day, but she views herself as an ar-\nchitect first and foremost, as she discloses, “I just had a baby five \nmonths ago, and I came back to the business, my baby was over \nthree months, and someone asked: How could you go back?, and \nI said, I am Charu, the architect. I have no other identity really. \nI am also known the mommy, but for me being the architect de-\nfines me. It’s all I have known, my whole life. So I actually don’t \nreally know any other way to be. It’s not even a passion; it’s a \nstate of being.” To keep herself inspired, she often notices other \ndesigners’ projects, particularly in parts of the world like France \nor Stockholm, among others, but normally it’s the everyday hap-\npenings or even historical objects. \nConcerning tradeshows, she usually goes to Maison et Objet in \nParis; she attends Salone del Mobile in Milan, the Masterpiece in \nLondon, and the Architectural Digest Show in New York. One \npeculiar reality about Charu Gandhi is that she does not value a \nbrand as much as the unknown artisan makers.\nHer philosophy in life, and even in design, is not to compare her-\nself to others or follow trends, as she gracefully explains, “Gen-\nerally, the race is long, sometimes you are ahead, sometimes you \nare behind, but in the end, it is all newer to yourself. So it’s about \nsetting your own ambitions and your milestones.”\nUltimately, she advises young designers to be bold and work hard. \nShe entails that she hires people that will cohesively create some-\nthing special as a unit, independently of how talented one is.

The opportunity for a change arose when \nTollgard and his wife, Monique, bought an old house and em-\nployed an architect to design it.

He was quickly listed \nin the House & Garden Top 100 which was his first boost toward \ninternational recognition; his openings in showrooms and work \nabroad were also additions to his renowned status.\nHis style is characterized by two principles: finding the read thread \nand creating the functional sculpture. The former represents the es-\nsence of the project, a sort of returning point; the latter expresses \nthe uniqueness and practicality of a certain piece.\nHe started a showroom due to the fact that he wanted to repre-\nsent wonderful pieces that were non-existent or misrepresented and \npersonalized them in agreement with the Staffan Tollgard Design \nGroup’s style. Exhibited in the showroom are some Scandinavian \ndesign classics, pieces from famed Italian brands, small brands from \nHolland, and brands from Portugal and Asia as well. The distin-\nguished designer values honest products and not so much mass \nproduced art. \nIn regards to favourites, Tollgard clarifies that it is impossible to \nhave one because it is something that is constantly varying. Among \nmany projects, the design group is currently finishing a unique lat-\neral space in Knightsbridge in London, a chalet in Switzerland, and \nalso have an amazing project in Amman. \nClients are for Tollgard the biggest inspiration, as he explains, “As \na designer, you are like a director of a narrative. You find a story \nwithin your clients who are like the characters of a movie and the \ninterior has to suit them.” He goes on to say that, “it is our responsi-\nbility as designers to understand who they are and therefore design \nthe most appropriate.”\nHis philosophy is to be humble, to respect the client, the buildings, \nand your peers. By being humble there is a less probability of de-\nstroying certain matters, such as interiors, architecture or even rela-\ntionships. He comprehends that if a building is listed it is for a rea-\nson, he believes that “maybe we shouldn’t head down cornices that \nare two hundred years old, maybe we need to keep staircases that \nhave been there for centuries, and I think that is understanding that \nyou are not above all of this, you can’t just come in and tear things \ndown.” He views designers as generalists instead of specialists.

She also studied \nat the Chelsea College of Art in London, and the Parsons School \nof Design in New York. Since 2006, she has owned a successful \ndesign studio, Fiona Barratt Interiors.\nShe best describes her style as a modern luxury, a very cosy and \ncomfortable yet luxurious design. She tends to use a cluster of \ndifferent textures, whether they are natural or manmade, and \nshe adds antiques to modern pieces in order to give it character.\nHer passion for design is denoted in her exquisite creations and she \nloves working and meeting the people behind this revolutionary \nindustry.

Ultimately, it is an omnipresent art form.\nWhen it comes to inspiration, Barratt regards everything and \nanything as a way to create new material. She can even find \ninsight on a piece of garbage or crumpled paper, and it truly goes \nto show that an idea can appear at any given time as long as one \nis susceptible to their surroundings. In the end, this perfectly \nemphasizes the beauty of creativity. \nTo Fiona Barratt, it is not about imitating some other designer’s \nstyle but developing your own sense of self and style as a person \nand designer, as she explains, “I think it is important to look at \nwhat is out there, but I think that at the end of the day, when \nyou’re a true creative you need to develop your own style.” \nViewing the subjectivity of each project, Barratt is incapable of \nchoosing a favorite because everything plays a factor in the process, \nwhether it is the client, the climate, or the parameters for a certain \npiece. She also discloses that not every day is easy, and as a matter \nof fact, she spends must of her time problem solving, however, it \nis her passion for design that makes it all worth it.\nFiona Barratt Interiors is currently developing 14 projects \nwhich are predominantly high-end residential, they are doing \na commercial penthouse in Hong Kong on the waterfront that \nwill be launched in 2017, and they also have multiple residential \nprojects in Beirut, Moscow, and London.\nThe modern designer reveals that her philosophy in life and in \ndesign is to find a balance between being a working mother with \nthree children under the age of five and running two businesses. \nBefore she had children, she used to worry about deadlines and \nprecision, but now she has become more philosophic by learning \nto accept the challenges of the world. One peculiar perspective \nabout the designer is that she runs her studio like a family, it is \nimportant to her that the creative environment is nurtured, and \nnot pressured, so as to have the absolute best performances.\nIn reference to new designers, Barratt advises one to just focus on \nthemselves and to be prepared to face many obstacles and turn \nnegatives into positives. She encourages new artists by revealing \nthat “this will make you stronger, you have to be driven and \npassionate, if you don’t love what you do, don’t do it.”\nEXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW \u002F\u002F\nPalace Gate, Fiona Barratt Interiors\nPalace Gate, Fiona Barratt Interiors\n",75,{"image":309,"text":310,"number":311},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F5d\u002F7b78286374de24b5e46e3237adadbe.76.png","ound to introduce experiences and memories, design is a \nceaseless source of enjoyment and perseverance. It is a con-\ntinuous interaction between individuals and surroundings. \nThe designer from Dorset, Robert Angell is exemplary of this concept \ndue to his timeless minimalism approach. He has been passionate \nabout design since infancy and is enthralled by the idea of creating and \nbuilding. He is the founder of Robert Angell Design International and \nhas designed some of the most prestigious residential and commercial \nprojects around the world.\nTo Angell, it is important to create an environment that translates \nthe standards of living, not only for the present but also for the future. \nThere has to be a sort of fluidity and practicality in the process of de-\nveloping an interior, to think about the functionality of each room and \nmeet the expectations and needs of those who will interact with these \ninteriors. This posture can be quite visible in his hotel designs. \nHis design company in conjunction with Sir Richard Rogers created \nthe new Berkley Chelsea suite; they designed the entrance lobby, \na new Collins room, and redesigned the original blue bar. Angell’s \nstudio is currently working on a project in Russia and they are also \nworking with a fantastic luxury brand. \nMore recently, Design International won a global award for best \nrestaurant, for their work in Aqua Nueva. They were inspired by \nSpanish culture, gastronomy, influences, and even colors. Their \nmajor intent was to “just look back in terms of these interiors that \npeople feel good in and really want to have a good time in. It is a nice \nvibe, it goes into that kind of dinner, after dinner longevity, and it \ngets a slight club atmosphere.” \nAngell believes that tradeshows are an absolute must for inspiration, \nand function as a sort of network for collections and designers, such \nas Maison et Objet or Miami Basel. In terms of brands, his favourites \nare Ekar and 1stdibs.\nHis philosophy in design is to have a unique approach because all \nclients, spaces, and briefs are different, as well as in life, considering \nthat the communal goal is to seize every moment of this marvellous \nworld and thus creating a better future.

Boca do Lobo \nwas part of the project, providing this interior designer, luxury furni-\nture and sculptural pieces that served as an independent and strong \ncharacter in the theatre play.  \nThis project was partly adopted and partly modified, according to \nfunctional details. “The real challenge was to integrate the existing \ncollection of art, antique furniture and oriental carpets and to give \nthem a completely new role in the composition”, said the designer. \nThe baroque history of the space was treated as a fact and a kind of \na past imagination but the detailed research of it was not the issue \nof interest during the design process.

It dates from 1865 \nwhen, on 10th June, the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) \nopened the first European “Grand Hotel”, the epitome of the \nVictorian chic. This centenary hotel is extremely well located on \nthe top of Regent Street, one of the busiest streets of London, \nwhere you can find stores such as Karl Lagerfeld, Liberty or Apple. \nSince day one, Langham Hotel has received several famous \npeople, such as members of the royal family or writers like Oscar \nWilde. It was even the setting for several Sherlock Holmes stories \nand, more recently, for movies like 007 GoldenEye.\nLangham’s Interior Design History\nPowerful names from the interior design industry are also in-\nvolved in the history of this hotel, like Jason Wilson of RPW De-\nsign, who developed the Infinity Suite to celebrate the Langham \nHotel London’s 140th anniversary in 2005. The Infinity suite \nwas one of London’s largest spaces - by the time - with sublime \ntechnology, two bedrooms, and a dream bath. More than a suite, \nit is a place, where you can feel as if you were in your own apart-\nment, with cosy and bespoke furniture and stylish sculptures. \nThe name lifts you up to space. Ten years later, 2015 was the \ntime to celebrate the 150th anniversary and the well-known Da-\nvid Collins Studio. And Richmond International had the oppor-\ntunity to paint a little bit of Langham history for this celebratory \ntime. This celebration began with David Collins Studio, which, \nback in 2008, was in charge for the renovation of the famous \nand award-winning Artesian Bar. As the studio explains, the \nmotivation for this renovation was an eclectic inspiration from \nthe Victorian cabinets of curiosities featuring hidden textures, \ndetails, and references including a jewelled mirror, jewelled pan-\nelling, blue and purple crocodile leather tiles, bespoke lacquers \n(a reference to la chasse aux papillons) and a pagoda bar. Three \noversized hand-crafted chandeliers add a story, exploring the em-\npire and the far east, to the scheme. \nArtesian has been considered, for four consecutive years, the best of \nthe best in the World’s 50 Best Bars list, organised by Drinks Inter-\nnational Magazine. One of the reasons for these awards is its spe-\nciality in exclusive rum creations, and, obviously, because it is the \nsource for indulgence inside this unique Langham world.\nLater on, but not for the first time on the hotel’s timeline, Richmond \nInternational took over the Langham torch and designed the Ster-\nling Suite (the largest in London) and the executive Club Lounge. \nThe Sterling Suite is an authentic penthouse with 450 square \nLANGHAM HOTEL LONDON\n151 YEARS OF HISTORY AND DESIGN\nThe Langham ClubLounge Fireplace\n",90,{"image":369,"text":370,"number":371},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F5d\u002F7b78286374de24b5e46e3237adadbe.91.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 91.\nPROJECTS \u002F\u002F\nmetres and the capacity to accommodate twelve people. \nThe hotel describes it as a way to exceed every notion of luxury \nand space and being a destination.

The experience we bring from a restaurant also includes \nthe comfort and interior design. \nThat’s why a good interior design can do as much for a cafe, \nrestaurant or bar as good food and drinks can. \nThe scene, the socialising, and the sense of a special event are \nequally important. When done right, a restaurant’s design en-\nhances all of these elements. \nA simple meal seems much more appetising when combined \nwith appealing furniture, luxurious finishes, and alluring light-\ning. It’s with this in mind and with the constant focus on her \nclients’ needs that the designer Ekaterina Shebunina comes to \nher outstanding projects.  \nHer true love for her job is also the main ingredient in the rec-\nipe of her successful creations.

Are you in love with your job? What do you \nlove the most about being an interior designer?  \nEKATERINA SHEBUNINA: Personally, I like the process of cre-\nation. It is interesting to watch how from abstract thoughts and im-\nages, impressions, drawings, lines- as a result, you create distinctive \nspace. Living environment is a small universe. Also, I like to see the \nfinal result as well as a process of creation itself.\nCM: How important is a good chemistry between you and your cli-\nents to achieve better results\nES: The most important is to HEAR the customer. I try to be very \nattentive. In general, people broadcast their mentality. The world is \ndiverse, and interpretation of suitable interior too. Mostly, I work \nfor private customers, it is highly important that the client approves \nthe project. The best results are achieved when the client is also inte-\ngrated into the process of interior project creation. People feel  more \ncomfortable sharing their ideas if they feel, that they are heard. My \nclients are smart and interesting people who have achieved a lot, I do \nnot get tired to learn from their life experience and life values.    \nCM: To conquer such a demanding audience, is truly important to be \ninformed about the latest trends on the field.  How do you do this? \nES: I try to make time to visit the interior shows in Milan, Paris and \nNew York. Regularly I use invitations to visit the production in the \nfield of design. I have a large library of books about art, architecture and \ninterior design.  You cannot get stuck on your visions and ideas, as the \nworld is moving forward and you need to follow it. And it is necessary \nto feel trends and new technologies as a necessity for success.\nCM:   How would you describe your style? \nDo you have any personal “signature”?  \nES: I’m interested in working in different stylistic directions. But \nthe majority of clients requires the interiors with classical tones and \nwith a strong connection to historic roots. To create such interiors \nit is necessary to do a lot of research work. I like to have this kind of \nchallenges. I would like to think about interiors as about high-style \nprojects, try to work on it and the basis of the architectural universi-\nty and constant self-education helps me a lot. Internal discipline and \nstability, combined with everyday creative searches - my credo. I’ve \nbeen working for a long time, but I do not feel tired.

The restaurant \nalready had a name and a concept. How did the transformation pro-\ncess happen and which details played an important role?\nES: This restaurant already exists for 3 years, and because of the in-\ncreasing popularity, it has ceased to fit in the same room. Of course, \nthe bright individuality kitchen concept was decisive for the inte-\nrior. Kokoko - one of the first restaurants in Russia working with \nso-called “new Russian cuisine.” The gastronomic cuisine is based \non the use of seasonal products from the farmers of the Leningrad \nregion and modern culinary techniques. Reflecting on recycling and \nre-work old recipes, chef Igor Grishechkin creates conceptually dif-\nferent dishes, where the familiar tastes are opened in the original \ntextures, forms and combinations. Each new dish of Kokoko is a \nsmall personal story, told on the plate. The restaurant is located in \na five-star W-Hotel-furnished in modern high-quality style. It was \nnecessary to organically fit the interior of Kokoko in the already ex-\nisted environment. The objective of the request was very high, and \nthe implementation period was just half a months. We could not \ntake the risk, and offer questionable decision “on trial”. We needed \nguaranteed result of 100% and a reliable supplier. \nCM:  What’s special about Boca do Lobo, Brabbu pieces and why did \nyou feature it in your project?\nES: The extraordinary originality of Boca do Lobo products are based \non the bordered between furniture and art. My colleagues’ architects \nand designers highlight this brand from many; there is no something \nsimilar. I think this is a very modern interpretation of the classic \ndesign techniques. The internal energy of objects laid by authors is \ninspiring. Working with them is a pleasure. Surprisingly noticeable \nthings, when integrated into interior, gain emotionality. Please note, \nthat the pathos of these things, in alliance with the irony of the au-\nthors, is close to us. Brabbu-unfamiliar agents of the Regions have \ncontacted me as the author of the project  -with the question where \nwe have found such luxury chairs.

Following by the production workshops where the mir-\nacle is born. There were several similar pieces, at different stages of \npreparation, which proves the demand for the products.

The result is a \ntruly stunning canal house, full of custom furniture, lavish fabrics \nand finishes and, quality craftsmanship. \nEthnic Chic was originally opened in 2004 as a boutique in the heart \nof Amsterdam, selling unique and compelling home décor. After \nmany requests for interior design projects, Toetenel and his first \nbusiness partner began dabbling in interior design, and thus a de-\nsigner was born. \nThe canal house project was worked on day and night to be com-\npleted within the 3-week timeframe. Custom furniture was flown \nin from all over the world to add cultural soul and character to the \nspace, challenging the designers to find new products and brands. \nThe Amsterdam team explains “our projects are all determined by \ncustom design, custom made furniture and the love for fabrics, sort \nfurnishings and craftsmanship”, emphasizing that “without crafts-\nmanship, there’s no soul”. \nFor the interior designer, the special ‘indoor garden’ kitchen and the \nbedroom are the two most exceptional rooms.

The edgy kitchen room portrays a \nfunkier vintage Hollywood vibe with faux bamboo chairs and \ntropical banana leaf, hand printed wallpaper.\nOn the other hand, the bedroom’s darker touches and rich fin-\nishes scream vintage Hollywood boudoir.

Above the bed, a Vivre 2-Ring chandelier \ncasts a sultry glow, with the light shining behind 19 genuine ag-\nate slices.

Rubesam hoped that the con-\nversaion into an antique shopping complex would recall the glory \nof former times, but neither he nor his successor Erich Kaufmann \nwas able to establish a sound financial base for the project.\nIn 1987 the building was purchased by George Rafael. After a \ntwo-year renovation process the hotel experienced its glamorous \nopening in spring 1990 as Rafael Hotel. In May 2000 the hotel \nwas purchased by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.\nToday, Mandarin Oriental, Munich combines traditional and \nmodern luxury  - offering an unique hotel experience to each sin-\ngle guest in the very city center of Munich. \n",118,{"image":481,"text":482,"number":483},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F5d\u002F7b78286374de24b5e46e3237adadbe.119.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 119.\nHOTELS WE COVET \u002F\u002F\nCM:  What makes you more proud in what you are doing and \nwhat are your dreams for Mandarin in the upcoming years?\nMF: It makes me very proud to receive that many positive guest \nfeedback, talking about the friendliness of our staff.

It could be just another Hilton hotel \nin London, but the entire atmosphere created by the \ninterior design of the space makes sure that the dif-\nference is noticed.\nStepping inside this new Hilton is like entering the \nheart of Bankside and discovering all its secrets. Even \nin the facade, it’s possible to see how the city was an \ninspiration to create the architecture and design of the \nspace. The building is layered of stone, brick, bronze \nmetal cladding and glass, which make it easily framed \nin the industrial area that surrounds it. Since the out-\nside, it’s very clear how the art is present in every \nsingle room of the hotel – in areas reserved for taxis, \nthere are two graffiti panels that can easily represent \nthe way that area is becoming modern yet keeping its \ntraditional industrial style. \nThe entire hotel is a project of Dexter Moren Associ-\nates & Twenty2Degrees. The two companies worked \ntogether to create this space filled with delightful \nsurprises.  It’s important to understand that Hilton \nBankside is the nearest five-star hotel of Tate Modern \nand this touristic point had a huge influence on the \ndesign of the space, not only because of the materials \nused but also due to the large art pieces that are dis-\nplayed in the entire area. \nFrom the reception to every single area of this proj-\nect, Dexter Moren Associates & Twenty2Degrees, \nthe responsible for the architecture and design of the \nhotel, created an industrial space where you can feel \nthe real sense of the city, but, at the same time, you \nfeel comfortable and homely.\nLet’s talk about the decoration of the space: it’s quite \nclear all the inspiration that the designers’ team took \nfrom the area. Very industrial and brutalist, Hilton \nBankside reflects the urban living off that part of the \ncity. Right at the lobby, it’s possible to feel the indus-\ntrial inspiration of the design and how designers had \nincorporated the details of the area in the decor. The \nfloor is a reference to the neighbouring Tate Modern, \nevoking the famous Turbine Hall.\nSmall sculptures of foxes are placed all over the hotel, \nwhich represent another way of incorporating the \nspirit of the area inside the hotel.  \nThe location is another thing that makes this new \nHilton a star in the city guide of London. Five min-\nutes’ walk and you are at some of the most iconic and \ncultural places of the city: The Globe, Tate Modern \nand The Shard. \nAnother thing to enjoy in the Bankside Hilton is the \nOXBO Restaurant. With a delicious menu created us-\ning fresh British ingredients from local markets, this is \nthe perfect place to have dinner. \nThe restaurant  keeps the industrial design of the en-\ntire hotel with a very modern vibe. In the middle of \nthe space, there are decorative perforated steel screens, \ncreating privacy and strategically positioned to allow \nguests to be grouped into smaller areas. \n“A Hilton like no other Hilton” is how the \nBankside Hotel describes itself and Coveted Mag-\nazine couldn’t agree more. From the design of \nthe space to the customer service, Hilton London \nBankside provides the perfect luxury experience \nfor a trip to London.”\nHOTELS WE COVET\nHILTON BANKSIDE HOTEL\n",120,{"image":489,"text":490,"number":491},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F5d\u002F7b78286374de24b5e46e3237adadbe.121.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 121.\nHOTELS WE COVET \u002F\u002F\nCOVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 121.\nCOVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 121.\n",121,{"image":493,"text":494,"number":495},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F5d\u002F7b78286374de24b5e46e3237adadbe.122.png","On the floor, black and white tiles create a modern pattern, provid-\ning a more contemporary look to the restaurant.\nThe decoration of the space blends in well with the overall decor.

The hotel is harmonically integrated in a set of ancient \ntraditional Portuguese houses whose colourful facades have \nbeen a symbol of Porto for a good dozen of years; they are also \nconsidered and preserved as World Heritage by UNESCO. \nEver since the opening, the restaurant is gaining many credits for \nboth the design and the food. The cosy and elegant design was \ndeveloped by Cristina Matos, a Lisbon-based designer for whom \nthe restaurant was not the first Pestana collaboration. \nA smooth, fun and elegant mid-century ambience with palm \ntrees wallpaper covering the inner walls, lots of wood and comfy \nblue chairs is perfect to enjoy the author food menu signed by \nthe chief Rui Martins. We are recommending you to try the \nfamous Tomahawk Irish Black Angus – the award winning \nunique cut steak, or sophisticated, sort and juicy Rib Eye steak, \nboth accompanied by a nice glass of Portuguese red wine. There \nare also several food solutions for those who do not fancy meat \nas well as some vegetarian dishes in the menu.\nHowever, the design of the restaurant is not the only remarkable \ndesign work in the place. The hotel, hosting 103 rooms, occupies \nsix ancient traditional buildings dating back to sixteen, seventeen \nand eighteen century, offering a breathtaking view over Douro \nriver and Ribeira – the historical riverbank and the very heart \nof the city. The design is inspired in the atmosphere of the city \nitself – the rooms and common areas embrace its vintage charm \nand contemporary comfort. \nThe original stonewalls were restored in the rooms.

Alain Ducasse at The \nDorchester is a taste of the finest French cuisine in London, it is the \nwhole fine-dining experience, with a modern and relaxed attitude, \nheaded up by an extremely talented team full of energy and passion. \nA modern, light and elegantly informal setting complements the \nrestaurant’s forward thinking approach to haute cuisine and its \nfocus on seasonality. The duo Jouin - Manku was responsible for the \ninterior décor of the restaurant. Their designs are often inspired by \nnature and they have included ingenious and beautiful references to \nHyde Park, which the restaurant overlooks. These touches include \nsprays of silk buttons covering the walls and the stunningly unique \nTable Lumière, a table that seats six, located in the centre of the \nrestaurant and framed by more than 4,500 fibre optic lights. \nIt is so difficult to choose – the menus change regularly and are \ncontinually innovating.  \nA signature dish to always choose is the ‘Sauté gourmand’ of Lobster \nand truffled chicken quenelles – which is beautifully fragrant and \ndelicate. The Rum Baba has not left the menu at Alain Ducasse \nat The Dorchester since the opening in 2007 and is always a firm \nfavourite with their customers.

It is important to him that his Executive \nand Head chefs experiment and develop their own unique vision \nand interpretation of his cuisine. It is important to keep moving \nforward and Alain embraces innovation and new ideas. He meets \nwith his teams in each restaurant at least once a month, and \ncorresponds with the executive chefs sometimes several times \na day – so there is a constant flow of communication.  When \na recipe is decided upon, before it is included on the menu, the \nmanagement team of the restaurant trials it, and collaboratively \ndecide on the wine pairing and any serving suggestions. \nAlain Ducasse team is highly motivated because they are all \nextremely passionate and committed about what they do.  The \nrestaurants operate successfully from having a close-knit team, \nmost of whom have been with Alain Ducasse Enterprise for a \ngood many years.  “I am very conscious of ensuring that the next \ngeneration of chefs and front of house feel the same excitement and \nsense of adventure that there was in the industry when I started. \nInspiration and training are so important; once you have the skills, \nyou have the tools to make anything happen.” – says Alain. \nWORLD’S FINEST RESTAURANTS\nALAIN DUCASSE\n",134,{"image":545,"text":546,"number":547},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F5d\u002F7b78286374de24b5e46e3237adadbe.135.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 135.\nThe Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester menu constantly evolves \nwith the seasons.

Her talent, kindness, and beauty made \nher an icon of style worldwide. And even after her \ndeath, Kelly’s legacy as a fashion icon lived on.\nBorn in Philadelphia in 1929, Grace desired to \nbecome an actress since an early age. Her parents \ndid not approve of her pursuing that dream, but \nstill, after graduating from high school in 1947, she \nheaded to the city where she believed dreams came \ntrue: New York. \nHer blue eyes, red lips and skin \nlike poured cream did not go \nunnoticed and so she started \nworking as a model.\nGrace’s debut on Broadway was in 1949. However, \nshe was not fully content with the work in New \nYork and moved to Southern California searching \nfor a more prestigious part of acting - motion \npictures. After a few roles, her work with director \nAlfred Hitchcock, which began with Dial M for \nMurder (1954) made her a star. \nFrom that moment on, and because the director \nloved the contrast between cold charm and intense \nsensuality that Grace Kelly radiated, she became \nHitchcock’s muse during two more films: Rear \nWindow (1954) and To Catch a Thief (1955). \nHer acting career was at the height of glory and \non March 30, 1955, at The 27th Annual Academy \nAwards, Grace Kelly won the Best Actress Oscar for \nThe Country Girl (1954).\nIt was not only her talent in acting that allowed \nher to win the hearts of millions of fans, though. \nGrace Kelly had a polite posture and a smiling face. \nHer trademark was her calm, cool and collected \ndemeanor. Her beauty was undeniable and her \nblond hair, often coiffed in a bun, became a symbol \nof her style. Grace had all the qualities of an iconic \nstar: a naïve stance sustained by her white gloves, \nan elegant attitude, and a passionate charisma.\nIn April 1955, during the Cannes Film Festival, \nGrace Kelly was invited to participate in a photo \nshoot at the Palace of Monaco with Prince \nRainier III, the sovereign of the principality, and \nthe man who would eventually steal her heart. \nCoincidentally, after returning to America, she \nbegan to work on her next movie, The Swan, in \nwhich she would portray a princess.\nAt the age of 26, Grace Kelly was one of Hollywood’s \ngolden girls and an elegant style icon who was \ninvited by brands to feature their exceptional pearl \nand diamond jewelry, as well as haute couture \nclothing. Renowned Hollywood costume designers \nlike Helen Rose and Edith Head were captivated \nby Grace’s rare beauty and had her featuring their \ndresses. Grace’s stunning self-possession propelled \nher onto the Best-Dressed List and she even was \ninaugurated into the International Best Dressed \nList Hall of Fame in 1960.\nDuring her marriage, Grace Kelly could not continue \nher acting career.

If you need more answers, look at your shoes, \nfeel the touch of the real leather and run your fingers through all \nthe intrinsic details. Today, Portugal has a shoe industry larger \nthan life, innovate and groundbreaking. The story of GUAVA, an \navant-garde brand that has dealt with major issues in this indus-\ntry and against all odds was able to surpass them. It is an indus-\ntry that despite the positive prospect is still filled with resistance \nto change and fear of doing something truly original. Since the \nvery beginning of GUAVA that architecture and geometry made \nsense to me. The new wave in art, design, and architecture with \nModernism and the Bauhaus was an overall inspiration. I was \ntruly devoted to the beauty of this transformative Era. I was al-\nways intrigued by changes, society and the reinvention of arts. \nFor me, that is what Design is all about, Reinvention. \nBy evolving with new ideas is where the industry suffers the \nmost and that challenge to overpass this clash is a truly demand-\ning experience. It is like “declaring war” on a routine of what \nis already established. For me bringing the idea of architectural \nheels into the Portuguese shoe industry was a challenge I was \nwilling to take, but I guess I wasn’t aware of how demanding the \nchallenge would become. Being a young designer with new ideas, \nin an industry of man and traditions was a tough challenge.  \nAnd overcoming that clash of generations was even tougher. \nThe more negative responses I got the more I wanted to make \nthis a reality, and the more I wanted to make this possible in \nPortugal, my home country. As of now, I can proudly say that \nit is possible. \nI had to shift many mentalities and gain the trust of shoemakers \nwho had years and years of experience. I was a young kid with \nthe strangest ideas, like the one of having a diamond shape heel \non every female shoe. After five years of breaking a few barriers, \nwe can 100% produce our heels in Portugal from scratch. The \ntechnology that was necessary, that we now have, and the need \nto involve enthusiastic people full of energy to overcome those \nbarriers, made an almost impossible dream to actually come true. \nNot only for Guava but for all other young designers, new brands \nand new ideas that come just after, this is an open door to a new \ngeneration. Saying that Guava came as a new wave for Portu-\nguese new trends & design makes us tremendously proud.\nMidnight Black Sandal\nArtic Mint Pump\nIvory Nude Pump\nPowder Rose Sandal\n",140,{"image":569,"text":570,"number":571},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F5d\u002F7b78286374de24b5e46e3237adadbe.141.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 141.\n",141,{"image":573,"text":574,"number":575},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F5d\u002F7b78286374de24b5e46e3237adadbe.142.png","Welcome to Paris!

It all began 40 years ago with a collec-\ntion of ties. For all these years, it has grown into an entire world, \nredefining American style. Ralph Lauren has always stood for \nproviding quality products, creating worlds and inviting people \nto take part in their dream. They brought innovation into lifestyle \nadvertisements that tell a story and were the first to create stores \nthat encourage customers to participate in that lifestyle. Striking \na balance between “timeless” and “modern,” Ralph Lauren creates \ncollections that express a unique sense of personal style inspired \nby the rich visual imagery around him: the rustic beauty of the \nAmerican West, the golden age of Hollywood glamour, the sleek \ninnovation of automotive design or an authentic equestrian heri-\ntage. Over forty years ago, Ralph Lauren launched the Polo brand \nfrom one innovative tie design; since then, he has officially been \nrecognised as a true Fashion Legend. From internationally herald-\ned collections that grace the runway to impeccably crafted sports-\nwear at the forefront of fashion, Ralph Lauren apparel and acces-\nsories offer the gift of iconic, enduring style.
