Inmaculada Hernandez serves as the director of the \nsuccessful event, which expects more than 4000 exhibitors from \nall the parts of the world, including France, the Czech Republic, \nRomania, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Mexico and Taiwan. For the \npast three years, the prominent fair has had as its protagonist the \npremium showcase Channel Contract. Celebrated for 56 years, \nYecla is the oldest furniture fair organised in Spain that has never \nstopped being celebrated, and for a reason. The Traditional source \nof income of the municipality was wine and, due to a plague, a \ngood part of the vines was destroyed, something that affected not \nonly the farmers and winemakers but also the auxiliary industry. \nAs a result, several carpenters and cabinet makers started making \nfurniture and found out that the best way to achieve their goals \nwas to commence a fair. \nAnother delicate moment in the history of Yecla was the \neconomic crisis which affected nearly everyone at the end of the \nlast decade. In addition, there was also an increase of competition \nwhich compelled the organisers to find new ways of relaunching \nand renovating. From this was born the contract that changed \neverything and allowed the firm to steadily grow more and more \neach year. \nThe furniture fair makes sure to establish a particularly close \ncollaboration with prominent institutions, such as the Promotion \nof the Region of Murcia, which together they consolidate the \nbilateral meetings between international prescribers and exhibitors. \nThe representatives of the fair assure that everything is executed \nperfectly in advance and that those who are meant to occupy the \nstands of the two exhibition areas, habitat and contract, have been \nconfirmed. Year after year, the interest of furniture professionals, \nmerchants and prescribers increases, making Yecla a worthy \nreference within the industry. \nIn regards to parallel events, the “Interior Show Yecla” is a \ncontinuing event that focuses on showcasing the high-quality \nproductions of its exhibitors, even after the daily closing of the \nmain exhibition. To this end, an emblematic place of the city of \nYecla is chosen and through a very special assembly, they create a \nshow directed to the prescribers of the contract channel. Renowned \nfor taking the meaning of design to a new dimension, the company \nBIMBAMBUM is responsible for the development of this activity \nwhich happens outdoors.  \nEach season, Yecla allows exhibitors to innovate by creating the \nmost avant-garde and high-quality designs. This has been one of \nthe most positive factors for the fruition of the event. While the \nHabitat area remains a vital feature, the Channel contract has \ngained distinction within the event, becoming a focal point that \nis aimed at the corporate and institutional client whose exhibitors \ndisplay outstanding projects. This is the reason why Yecla is \nperceived to be at the vanguard of design.\n“Another delicate moment in the history of \nYecla was the economic crisis which affected \nnearly everyone at the end of the last decade. \nIn addition, there was also an increase of \ncompetition which compelled the organisers to \nfind new ways of relaunching and renovating.”\n",35,{"image":149,"text":150,"number":151},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F47\u002F4f6cd07cce84faa79f40b0e55c7bec.36.png","BIG BOYS TOYS\nDUBAI, UAE\nThese products are conceived by a remarkable \nroster of the most ingenious manufacturers and \ncreators from all around the world.  \n02-04 November 2017\n",36,{"image":153,"text":154,"number":155},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F47\u002F4f6cd07cce84faa79f40b0e55c7bec.37.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 37.\nUPCOMING EVENTS\u002F\u002F\nBig Boys Toys is regarded as the premier innovation and luxury \nlifestyle exhibition in the Middle East, and its upcoming 8th \nedition is bound to surprise its visitors with the latest and most \nexceptional products across 13 categories, including digital, marine \nlifestyle, fashion, aviation, kid’s world, wellness, arts, pets, and \nmuch more.

In an exclusive \ninterview to Areen, you will find inspiring notes from someone who \nhas an authentic and passionate vision on design creative process \nthat also reflects his vision of the cultural experience of life. Areen \nrevealed the genius inside its personal taste for things capable of \ncreating new ones from zero, like the experience of travelling and \ncooking. Get inside the inspiring work and philosophy of Areen \nDesign in an intimate talk he conceived to Coveted Magazine.\nCoveted Magazine (CM): What do you love about your work?\nAreen Design (AD): It sounds unreal but I love everything about \nmy work; even the difficult client. Perhaps I was just lucky in \npicking a career which gives me the opportunity to travel the \nworld, something I always wanted to do and still enjoy. To \nexperience changing environments and different cultures is \nincredibly rewarding on a personal as well as professional level. \nAlongside the travelling, I also love the opportunity to work with \nso many talented visionaries, be they talented designers on the \nsupplier side, or project managers on the client side. I’m faced with \nnew and different challenges on a daily basis: never the same and \nnever boring.\nCM: Where do you draw your inspiration from? \nAD: Nothing inspires me more than travel. New experiences \nstimulate new emotions as well as reigniting ones from the \npast. I come from a family of chefs where culinary creativity and \nentertainment have been at the heart of our way of life. It may \nsound bizarre, but the similarities between design and cooking are \nvery close. My obsession with detail is on a par with my love for \nJapanese food which presents itself in the finest way. \nI’m also inspired by the progressive advancements in technology \nand the way we can manipulate new materials to break boundaries \nand set new goals. All this said, I do like the spaces I design to have \na sense of place with the subtlest of cultural reference…. unless the \nproject is in Las Vegas.\nCM: What is your philosophy on work and life?\nAD: I work to live! The effort needed to achieve your work goals \nis immense, but you need to know when to switch off, energise \nand live life to the full.\nCM: If you could be an object, which one would you be?\nAD: A mobile phone, mine’s got my whole world in it! It would, \nof course, have to be the latest model with more memory than an \nelephant and more beautifully designed than the Taj Mahal. Just \nimagine the potential!\nCM: Describe yourself in three words.\nAD: Particular - Passionate - Inquisitive\nCM: What do you love in a room?\nAD: Natural daylight is top of my list, but for me, it’s not always \nabout what’s in a room but what’s outside it. The relationship \nbetween our interiors and what is happening on the outside is crucial. \nAnd whether designing interiors in the city or the countryside, \nnatural daylight counts for so much in creating interiors that can \nembrace and entice, enhance and excite. Quite simply, it can be the \nsingle most important factor in the design process.\nCM: How would you describe your style? Do you have a signature touch?\nAD: We would never go down the design route of ‘one size fits \nall’. Each and every client is different and we have a responsibility \nto inspire and expand their thinking, to open their eyes to what \nis possible. The result will reflect how well we’ve achieved this \ngoal. But one aspect of design which I am obsessed with is an \nattention to detail. Perhaps a signature, if it exists, might be the \nmost beautiful detailing and the most satisfied client.\n",46,{"image":193,"text":194,"number":195},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F47\u002F4f6cd07cce84faa79f40b0e55c7bec.47.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 47.\nEXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW \u002F\u002F\nCOVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 47.\nCM: What are your favourite materials to work? \nAD: Glass and metal. Whether used together or apart the potential \nis limitless. They can be used in so many ways and in so many \nforms. From enclosing or fitting out a space, glass and metal offer \ncreative interpretation and styling, ranging from the industrial \nto the romantic. Anything is possible. We often design custom \nlight fittings for private installations, which can include hand \nblown glass elements. We recently installed a three storey drop \n(18m) acrylic sculpture, which gives the feel of glass, but with \ngreater durability, down through the centre of a spiral staircase. \nThe sculpture occupies a circular space, but was actually made \nup of two curved clusters of suspended acrylic blocks, leaving a \npath through the suspension wires on ground level, allowing \nusers to walk ‘through’ the piece and feel enclosed in the light and \nreflections. By choosing to light only particular blocks scattered \nthroughout the drop, and concentrate the volume of blocks at the \nbase of the drop, we were able to create a very effective atmosphere.\nCM: Do you have any guilty pleasures like certain steps you don’t \nlet go off on your creative process?\nAD: Guilt is a relative term. I’d simply say, in admission of any \nguilt, that I do always want to be in total control of the full \ncreative response. From the first rough concept sketch to handing \nthe completed project over to the client. I find any departure from \nthis approach runs the risk of diluting the integrity of your offer \nand can lead to frustration on both sides. I like to form a bond \nwith my clients to ensure the creative journey reflects a meeting of \nminds and the passion needed to exceed expectations.\n",47,{"image":197,"text":198,"number":199},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F47\u002F4f6cd07cce84faa79f40b0e55c7bec.48.png","Ash Design is a London-based interior design studio, but that \nwasn’t always the case.

However, the \nchoice to embrace this profession was something that came fairly \neasy to the interior designer, seeing as she was never a stranger \nto the world of travelling and staying at different hotels within \neach stay. This enabled her to “experience hotels and restaurants \nof authenticity and of significance”, meaning her vision and \nperception of these places ended up being different than the ones of \nan ordinary person. With this strong perception background, and \nwith the growing interest in collecting contemporary decorative \nart, Ash Design’s founder believes her work is an extension of her \nprivate life and all the experiences that influence her on a daily \nbasis. And even though this is one of the ways she keeps up with \nthe latest trends - visiting all the art and design shows, travelling \nbetween Paris and Miami all the time, and keeping a close eye on \na handful of her favourite interior designers - the most important \nelement in every Ash Design project is their timelessness. They \ntry to create spaces which are to be enjoyed by families and that \nat the same time “must be carefully thought out spaces that stand \nthe test of time”.\nBut of course that, in order to create these unique spaces, Ash \nDesign’s founder must find inspiration somehow. And she had \njust told us that one of her biggest sources of inspiration is Peter \nMarino. Why? Because “his work encapsulates the benchmark \nbrands he is designing so accurately through his sophisticated and \nforward thinking interior architecture, textiles and art”, as Sharon \nElafouf so gracefully stated. However, Jean Louis Deniot and his \narchitectural choices and colour palettes are also at the top of the \nlist of inspiring interior design personalities for the Ash Design \nteam. It is with this in mind that they always decide upon French \nartisans and craftsmen in their bespoke work for clients, as well \nas vintage and contemporary decorative art, which enables them \nto be in constant touch with many galleries and artists, sort of \nbecoming their own source of inspiration.\nEXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW\nWITH ASH DESIGN\n",48,{"image":201,"text":202,"number":203},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F47\u002F4f6cd07cce84faa79f40b0e55c7bec.49.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 49.\nEXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW \u002F\u002F\n",49,{"image":205,"text":19,"number":206},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F47\u002F4f6cd07cce84faa79f40b0e55c7bec.50.png",50,{"image":208,"text":209,"number":210},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F47\u002F4f6cd07cce84faa79f40b0e55c7bec.51.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 51.\nDesign’s work is how they encapsulate all their values in their \nwork, and the philosophy they follow as a team and as an interior \ndesign studio. Thankfully, Sharon was kind enough to answer that \nfor us and explained that her philosophy is to treat each project \nas it was her own, always being very detail oriented. In a second \nphase of the conception, she also likes to “add a personal touch to \nthe project which makes it unique to the client living in the space”. \nMoreover, they have been working with scent, especially vanilla \nand wood. Sharon, for example, like “to create a personal fragrance \nto enhance the atmosphere” at the end of each of her projects. We \ncan appreciate every single one of these elements in one of Ash \nDesign’s 2017 projects in Tel Aviv, the founder’s hometown. “This \nis a 3,000 square foot multiple bedroom apartment, located in \nRichard Meier’s iconic architectural skyscraper,” explained Sharon. \nAnd what is so unique about the apartment is how it is “purposely \npared back of statement monochrome, predominantly black and \nwhite, teamed with bright contrasts.” Geometric patterns have \nalso been chosen to complement the architecture both inside and \noutside of the apartment. Multiple precious metals, stones and \ntextured finishes were also chosen and inspired by the “luminous \nlight” that the designers found at that level. In the end, and as \nSharon stated, “The apartment is a subtle backdrop designed and \nexpertly curated to maximise the growing decorative art collection \nit houses”. More recently, and actually still in development, Ash \nDesign is designing a large home in the sunny island of Ibiza. The \nteam is currently involved in every aspect of the design, both \nindoors and outdoors. According to Sharon Elafouf, “it is a unique \nopportunity to create something truly bespoke” and put all their \nknowledge and expertise in the field on this one specific project.\nAnd while we still don’t know what comes next for Ash Design, \nwe definitely know we can only expect truly bespoke interiors, \nwith high-quality materials and a feeling of effortless elegance.\nEXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW \u002F\u002F\n",51,{"image":212,"text":213,"number":214},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F47\u002F4f6cd07cce84faa79f40b0e55c7bec.52.png","Being a latecomer to the fascinating world of design, the proficient \ndesigner, Christophe Pillet was actually considering becoming a \nmusician as he immensely enjoyed playing music, however, once \nthe design bug was manifested into his mind, there was no other \noption going forward, as he explained, “Step by step I discovered \nthe design, it was not a passion it was just interesting people, \ncurious people. I still believe that today, I’ve really found my job.” \nSpecialising in interior design and interior architecture, Pillet has a \nwide array of successful projects that reflect the contemporaneity \nof French Design, from the astonishing Hotel Sahrai in Morocco to \nthe awe-inspiring St. Tropez Villa, along with many furnishings, \nsuch as the Agatha Dreams lounge chair and the comfy Pillet \nPine Beach sofa. Some of the characteristics that the French \nartist absolutely esteems about design are the context of the \nwork, discovering brand-new perspectives and creations as \nwell as learning from other tremendously talented individuals. \nFurthermore, the designer does not differentiate working on a \nfurniture or interior space, or whatever the case may be because \nalthough each project has a different value, the most important \nthing is to express oneself and telling a narrative that is not only \nabout the product but also the people who are acquiring it. To \nPillet, it is all connected to sharing his point of view to the public. \nIn regards to his signature style, Christophe Pillet highlighted \nthe fact that most of his pieces obey to an eclectic abundance. \nAdditionally, he views design as a way to create daring and \nplayful projects, and not to take everything in a serious manner. \nNonetheless, the designer believes that time is a necessity when \ndeveloping a new piece so as to guarantee that every single process \nis accurately completed. He is also quite careful when selecting \ncolours, materials and textures.\nPillet recommends young designers not to accelerate their careers, \nto give a certain time and space for things to happen naturally, \nhowever, he adds that in this business one must really trust in \nthemselves and always listen to their heart and intuitions.

We always talk about design \nfrom Italy, and why from Italy? Maybe because Michelangelo \ncame from Italy, so it’s very easy to associate design with Italy, \nyou know, associating design with Porto... and Porto is now \ngetting these little and larger companies as a center of design and \ncreativity, which is why I am here today! \nCM: What do you think about Covet House project?\nCG: I’m very jealous (laughs). I said: “When I’ve gone wrong in \nlife!?” (laughs) It’s a beautiful house and it’s lovely to see. It’s in \nthe perfect environment as well: you’ve got water, you’ve got \nvegetation, and a beautiful house which showcases all the work. \nEXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW\nWITH CHRISTOPHER GUY\nIt creates the fabulous backdrop for a showcase. When I did The \nGeorgian restaurant in Harrods, the reason why I wanted to do it \nwas because it was a great showcase, it was a great environment, \nso whenever you have the opportunity to devote your products \ninto a great environment it makes it all worthwhile. \nCM: Handcrafted process was on spotlight at Maison et Objet in \nJanuary, what do you think about the role of crafts in interior design?\nCG: With handcrafted you can change directions very quickly and \nthat is the great opportunity that it offers once upon a time you \nwould have a sofa with a matching coffee table, everything would \nlook the same, like in a bedroom, the headboard, the side night stands \nwill look the same. Now design is all about how to get movement \nand how to get variation, so you look at different materials and the \ncombination, but somehow they will work together. To do that, \ncraftsmanship works so much better as a result. \nCM: Your design includes the Chris-X leg design, how would you \ndescribe it to a design lover?\nCG: The Chris-X came about when I was looking at dining chairs. \nWhen you look at a dining chair... they always tend to be designed \nfrom the front, you see a little head on the front of the dining, \nwhen they slip under the table you see the front head. That part, \nthat top third was important, but you mainly see the backs. If \nyou saw the film Gone with The Wind, and you look at Scarlett \nO’Hara, you had that waist line , you have the shoulders, you have \nthe waistline, but then I needed a leg, and if I had gone down to a \nsingle leg it wasn’t gonna give me the stability that I was looking \nfor. So I thought “well, I need a Chris-X leg, a cross leg”. Then it \nhappens to match my name, so Chris-X (laughs)!\nCM: Which major international events do you attend\u002Ffollow to \nget all the latest novelties?\nCG: You have two main American shows: High Point Market \nand Las Vegas Market. Las Vegas deals more the South American \nMarket, High Point still more about the rest of the country, and \nthen in Europe people always talk about either Maison et Objet, \nwhich is more for the decorative items and for the furnishings, \nwhich turns us down to Milan (iSaloni). I think you can learn a \nlittle bit from each one of them for various reasons, but you don’t \nprobably need to go to them every single year, there’s always gonna \nbe something new... I mean, as long as you get to go to these every \ncouple of years, you’re pretty much following the trends. But some \nof the times, is the smaller artisans. That’s where the hard work \ncomes in design, those individuals, the smaller companies are able \nto produce individual items and the company isn’t large enough \nthe be able to do some of the shows. \n",54,{"image":224,"text":225,"number":226},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F47\u002F4f6cd07cce84faa79f40b0e55c7bec.55.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 55.\nEXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW \u002F\u002F\n“even when he was outselling me ten to \none I was still not wanting to go back \nclassic furnishings”\nCM: Who or what inspired you to grow personally and professionally?\nCG: I think what inspired initially was how to put a roof over your \nhead and how to feed yourself (laughs), that’s a good start. And \nfrom everything else, you want to do something which gives you \npassion, I can never do anything without passion, if I don’t have \npassion I can’t do.  So, when I originally started, I’ve had discovered \nabout English classic furniture, like Chippendale’s furniture, how \nthey were made. I remember, I tell my brother, I said: “Richard, \nyou’re looking for something to do, here is a business for you, to \ndo that.” He was doing all the classic furniture from Chippendale \nand I said, well I’m gonna start my own mirror collection, and I \nremember we did a show at the same time in Madrid, our first \nshow. He outsold me ten to one (laughs). Everyone has wanting to \nbuy classic furniture no one wanted to buy my mirrors, so I knew \nthat I had to work a little bit harder on what I was doing, but still, \neven when he was outselling me ten to one I was still not wanting \nto go back classic furnishings. \nCM: What happened next? What was your move?\nCG: (...) If you believe in something you try, you have to put a \nlot of hours into it and you really have to believe. You need to be \nunique in the industry, but unique in a sense that it has to be still \nmarketable. Sometimes you go to a design school and someone has \nwon an award for some fancy chair and from one side you could \nsay the chair looks great, it’s like a sculpture, but is it marketable \nas a product? So you have to draw the line, how do you make that \ndifference? When is it marketable? When is it a unique piece? So \nwhen I started creating one of the lifetime lessons, it is about how \nmultiple pieces fit together. That’s actually a lot more difficult \nthan doing mirror frames, cause when I was doing mirror frames \nit is one piece of design, no one fills a room with mirrors, but if you \nfill in with furnishings, then they do. So then how do they’ll work \ntogether without looking the same? And that’s when you need the \ndifferent materials and different processes to do that. In my case, \nwe’re manufacturing everything a 100% in the house, so you have \nto learn a lot of techniques and they cannot look the same as the \ntechnique in the other room.\n“the design is not the challenge, \nmanufacturing is not the challenge, the \nchallenge is distribution”\nCM: How do you see the brand Christopher Guy in the future, 10 \nyears from now?\nCG: Hell, actually we just celebrated our 10th anniversary this \nyear. The design is not the challenge, manufacturing is not the \nchallenge, the challenge is distribution, and that is why we’ve \nbeen working in technology. Cause, last 10 years everything \nhas changed. 20 years ago China brought new challenges and \nnew possibilities to the market and then industry has changed, \nanyone who is now in the traditional business, I mean, many \ncompanies have closed down because frankly the younger market \nis not interested in traditional. Even the fashion houses had to \nchange. If you’re Channel... I see that sometimes... they sell the \npurses in sandwich boxes, in plastic sandwich boxes, which Coco \nChannel would have died if she ever saw that, but they are trying \nto cater for the new market. So everyone is saying: “Here’s a new \nmarket, how do you cater for that market?” Well technology and \nconveniences are certainly central to that, how do you make sure \nthat your costume, your pricing is in the right range, so there’s a \nlot of little things that are needed to be able to success moving \nahead. But design uniqueness, service and convenience. If you \nmaintain those, then you’ll have a business in 10, 20 and beyond.\n",55,{"image":228,"text":229,"number":230},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F47\u002F4f6cd07cce84faa79f40b0e55c7bec.56.png","Renowned for producing high-quality textiles and precious silks as \nwell as dressing up the most amazing homes and furniture designs \nwith exquisite materials and textures, the Rubelli Group was \noriginated by a Venetian family and is regarded as one of the best \nluxury brands in the world. The brand is currently managed by \nNicolò Favoretto Rubelli.  When it comes to everything regarding \ntextiles, Venice was the privileged location to find luxury products, \nespecially in the golden ages. According to Rubelli, there was a \ndecadence period in the 19th centuries and many activities had \nexpired production. In 1889, his grandfather purchased an antique \nactivity that led the way to create the Rubelli brand, which has \nbeen rather successful for over 135 years. It started with the \ndevelopment of a small mill and a shop in Venice and it transformed \nitself into a full-fleshed company which guarantees that the needs \nof the clients of today’s market are completely satisfied. The Brand \nconcedes great importance to blending, tradition and innovation. \nNicolò Favoretto confessed that he is extremely aware that a \ncompany cannot evolve only on textiles and the same methods, as \nhe explains, “we have to evolve to update ourselves,” he continues, \n“the original place was a small loom mill and a shop in Venice, the \nmill evolved with evolved to a high-tech mill, we still have it, we \nare still weavers, that’s very important because this allows us to do \ntextiles, which are very different, this gives us a different state of \nmind and gives us the knowledge and craft to make real quality not \njust a pattern, but make quality in the fabric which is something \nthat is characteristic and distinguished.” Rubelli has developed into \nan international reference having opened stores in Paris, London, \nNew York, and several other countries. In addition to knowing \nwhere the real market and clients are, the brand has also acquired \nor partnered with a cluster of brands, such as Kieffer, which was \na more informal collection provided by Paola Navone; Rubelli has \nalso joined forces with Armani Casa, providing exclusive textiles \nfrom the Rubelli Collection, and lastly Donghia, American brand \nspecialised in textiles and wallcoverings as well as the lifestyle \nbusiness.

One of the most exciting and engaging achievements \nof the brand was doing the curtains of the Bolshoi Opera House. \n“We still want to do those things, if a decorator comes and say \nI have a beautiful home, I want something unique, we will do \nit. We will study, it could be linen, it could be cotton, could be \nframe retardant, highly technical, could be golden silk. We don’t \ncare,  Entering the world of furnishings started for Rubelli with \nDonghia, in which they presented a marvellous collection at \nSalone del Mobile, earlier this year, targeted specifically for the \nAmerican market. The tailored-made collection is characterised \nby top-notch quality and a strong presence of Italian style. The \nbrand also collaborated with late Milanese architect and designer, \nLuca Scacchetti, who created the first line. Slowly by slowly, the \nbrand started to expand their territory in regards to furniture by \nintroducing new designs that hadn’t been properly presented or \nwere made in an erroneous time. Nicolò Favoretto revealed that \nit is a continuous challenge to modernise the company, because \npeople’s perception may still lie on a company of antique fabrics, \nwhich is not entirely true since Rubelli has lingered onto other \nventures as well. In regards to communication, the brand is quite \nprecise on fomenting this idea, and they also present their new \npieces or collection in a curated catalogue, which displays a few \nimages that are rather unexpected as well as combining traditional \nfabrics with contemporary designs and settings. In regards to \nnovelties, Rubelli enlisted the help of two young designers, the \nleaders of Nava+Nava, who created a versatile seat dubbed as Pila \n47. The company also launched a wonderful contemporary sofa \ncalled Domino which reaffirms the statement of reinvention by \nadding a sparkling allure while still starting from the tradition \nstandpoint. Moreover, Rubelli also has a Damantio, a new resin \nsurface design which is transparent and gives the sensation that a \nfabric is floating inside, which is quite intriguing. \nLastly, when asked what was the definition of luxury nowadays, \nthe designer responded by saying that bespoke, custom-made and \nuniqueness are what constitute that word, it is not about the gold \nand preciousness of thing, it is all about uniqueness.\n",57,{"image":236,"text":237,"number":238},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F47\u002F4f6cd07cce84faa79f40b0e55c7bec.58.png","Understood as an area of expertise and luxury, Design is a culmination \nof various movements of expression and knowledge. A worldwide \ncraft that has created a gathering of professionals and enthusiasts \nalike that only keeps on growing. By virtue of such, discover the \nwonderful working essence and ideologies of the renowned design \ngroup, SM Design which is guided by founder, Sybille de Margerie.\nSybille de Margerie best describes her design philosophy as a trinity \nof luxury, emotion and colours. The French designer always keeps \nan open-mind and a sense of curiosity alert when it comes to \ndesigning. SM Design’s main objective lies in creating unique and \nbespoke projects. To the designer, paying attention to detail and a \ntimeless design are two of the major components of conceiving a \nluxurious setting without ever compromising the idea of comfort. \n“I think that to do well, the project and our business is to stay \ncurious and open-minded to what is around. So I mean every time \nyou travel, you know we have to travel, we have to visit, and we \nhave to get our eyes open, because curiosity is the base of creativity, \nespecially that things are going fast, that evolution is going very \nfast, so you’ve always to be updated in the expectation of people \nthat is changing a lot every day.” Although Margerie has a master \ndegree in law, her passion was always to be an interior designer, \nnonetheless, it came quite at hand since design is an area that on \noccasion focuses on business and investments worldwide. Her \nvocation for design started due to the fact that her family owned \na chain of luxury hotels, as she disclosed, “It’s a part of my DNA \nand my expertise, I know naturally what luxury is, and so I think \nit has helped a lot in my career.” Sybille’s keenness to working \nwith spaces is one of her most alluring qualities. She believes that \nthis aspect is the core of an interior designer’s work: to develop an \noriginal space and to provide an exclusive and different design each \ntime that conveys emotion, luxury and comfort. \nIn concordance with a certain context or setting, the French \ndesigner often plays with different textures and colours in her \ndesigns. Even though Sybille de Margerie is the driving force of the \nstudio that controls every step of the way, she is tremendously \nreceptive concerning her team’s ideas and input. Frequently, SM \nDesign has an exclusive team for the creation part and other \nfor development, this is a key strategy that shows off their \naccomplishments and efficiency. \nSybille de Margerie cites her favourite projects to be Cheval Blanc \nlocated in Courchevel as well as the Mandarin Oriental Hotel \nin Paris. The Designer simply esteems the idea of working on \nchallenging and complex projects which are as rewarding to the \ngeneral public as to all of those involved in the production and \ndevelopment of each design. SM Design has recently launched \na collection of furniture pieces, including dining table, coffee \ntables, console tables, lighting pieces at Paris DECO OFF 2017. \nCombining various materials, such as glass, marble and wood with \nmetal finishes, this new collection is rather singular than standard \nexhibitions, having its own flair of luxury textures. The talented \ngroup added furnishings to their projects as a way to provide \neven more exclusive interiors while also employing pieces from \nother accomplished designers and suppliers.

It has a signature touch?\nDelphine Mauroit (DM): The Bennett was previously a Belgian \nCafé. Because of the changing dynamics in the neighbourhood, our \nclient wanted to convert it to cater to the current demographic of \nTribeca (downtown casual chic, high income, celeb-worthy)\nWe started the conversation around an upscale neighbourhood \nbar with the signature touch of the cocktail bars we’ve previously \ncollaborated on: Raines Law Room and Dear Irving. The \nneighbourhood feeling is translated in our design: the diner feel \nof the logo, the vintage menu boards announcing the names and \nshifts of each bartender. A signature touch we kept from our other \nconcepts is the service bell, but we’ve added a slight twist: when \nyou ring the bell for service, the table number appears in the mirror \nbehind the bar signalling your request for service.\nThe experience at The Bennett revolves around the art of the \ncocktail, so we’ve accentuated the bar as the focal point. All seating \naround the elongated marble-topped bar is elevated so guests can \nwatch the bartender prepare their cocktails.\nCM: What makes The Bennett Bar special when compared to \nother bars in NYC?\nDM: To make The Bennett a truly special place, its elegance and \nintimacy had to stand out.

Are you in love with this job? What do you love most \nabout being an interior designer?\nDM: There is nothing more exciting than receiving the initial brief \nfrom a client; listening to their dreams and aspirations and feeling \nthe adrenaline pumping as creative ideas start to spark in my \nmind. This creative rush is what I love about my job: combining \nthe client’s ideas with my own inspiration to create a story that \nreflects the client’s vision and exceeds their expectations.\nI am very passionate about what I do and love to create a buzz \naround a project.

A place \nwhere they can breathe and unwind, enjoy a lovely cocktail and a \nbeautiful experience.\n \nCM: Do you have a favourite project or a favourite story about \none of your projects?\nDM: That would be the Raines Law Room on 17th Street. It \nwas my first project with Yves Jadot (CEO of YJRG) and Alberto \nBenenati. The level of success exceeded what we initially expected. \nYves and Alberto had never opened a lounge before and I was still \nworking as a full-time employee at a design firm.

As an interior \ndesigner, you are somewhat a therapist to your clients. You have \nto level with them to understand their vision and dreams for a \nproject. It is important to build that trust with your client to be \nable to communicate the good as well as the bad. \nA lot of architects have a very specific style and oftentimes they’ll \nwant to impose it. Even though I might have developed somewhat \nof a style, I like to differentiate. My portfolio is very diverse, as I \nreally try to listen to my clients, really try to understand what they \nwant. And sometimes I have to challenge the client’s vision, but \nwhen you have built that trust, they will usually follow our lead. \nCM: Do you think working with teams in interior design is better \nor worse than working alone? Why?\nDM: Working with a team is always better. DMDesign has \nteam members from all over the world: France, Texas, The \nPhilippines, Poland and Belgium. A mix of cultures is crucial: it is \nextremely enriching; we find inspiration in each other and in our \ncontradictions.\nNext to the actual design work, we also have to manage clients, \ncontracts, planning and research. As we manage these parts of this \njob, it is important to have our team to fall back on. \nWe spend a lot of time together and work in an open space, so \nthere is a lot of cross-project input from everyone, which is a key \ncomponent to enrich our work.\n \nCM: Keep up to date on all the trends is essential for anyone who \nwants to conquer this market. In what ways do you keep updated \nwith new trends?\nDM: Travel is the best way to keep up with trends and to get \ninspired. You need to see what’s happening outside your own \nspace. Our office is in Manhattan and as much as New York City is \nthe heart of many things, you also encounter a lot of similarities. To \nbreak this pattern, it is important to travel outside. I recently went \nto Mexico City where I was blown away by the level of design. On \na trip to Marrakesh I not only found great design inspiration, but \nI also connected with a furniture manufacturer who could create \ninteresting designs, generating a new opportunity to collaborate. \nCloser to home, in Connecticut I found many antique stores that \nsparked my inspiration. A lot of my friends, clients and colleagues \nshare images of places they’ve visited and found inspirational \nbecause they know how much it inspires me.\nWhen not travelling, I would say Pinterest and design blogs are a \ngreat place to discover on-going trends. The yearly design and art \nshows, such as the Architectural Digest Show in New York or the \nMilan Expo always offer a sound overview of on-going industry \ntrends. Art shows are a very important source of inspiration to \nme. Interestingly, part of being recognized professional, your ex \nclients, friends, ex colleagues… send you images of places they’ve \nbeen around the world, because they know I’m an avid taker of \ninspiration. \nBut most of all I learn from other people. Meeting new people or \ntalking to people who are active in different fields provides great \nknowledge on what is going on in the world right now.\n \n",98,{"image":399,"text":400,"number":401},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F47\u002F4f6cd07cce84faa79f40b0e55c7bec.99.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 99.\nCM: All artists need some inspiration to work, and interior \ndesigner are artists too.

But after a few meetings and an open discussion \nwith the client, a trainer and a choreographer from Borispol, \nUkraine, the Malina Studio realised that they were facing a man \nwith boundless energy! Fortunately, the solution came up by \nitself: the project needed to be developed in eco-style in order to \nbalance his inner world.\nThe task consisted of creating a full sleeping space, lounge area, \nspacious kitchen and organising a sufficient number of places for \nstorage of fifty-two square meters. At the same time, there was \nthe need to save enough “air” and create a bright modern interior. \nEco-style is divided into four “elements”: fire, water, earth and air. \nAlexandra Davidovich and the design team from Mallina chose \nearth and air as their own fundamental elements.\nFor the basic colours, the team decided to take all shades of beige, \ncomplemented with a warm brown shade and highlighted with the \nwhite colour. Eco-style is known for its wide usage of plants and \ngreen decor, but what should they do if their client goes frequently \nfor long business trips, doesn`t accept art as a decoration and, in \naddition, doesn’t like decorative flowers or plants? The interior \nstill needed to be alive! So, the answer relied on wood, which \nplayed a major role in the project, through which any fantasy can \nbe transformed into a reality. In terms of the project itself, the \nfirst thing that was done was getting rid of unnecessary divisions, \ncombining the corridor with the kitchen and the living room into \none big open space. This way, the darkest part of the room was \nnaturally illuminated and earned a new life. Due to the white \ncolour, the living space also increased visually.\nThe kitchen and living room were linked and are now a complement \nto each other. To achieve this result, wooden beams in two \ndifferent colours were used on the ceiling and wooden panels on \none wall. This duet of “light and dark”, with the correct accents, \nfollowed the interior design in each room so that the balance was \nkept and the task was concluded with success. \nThe designers chose only natural materials and fabrics for curtains \nand sofa indoors. Even in the kitchen and in the bathroom, it’s \npossible to see the tiles recalling the texture of linen. And, of \ncourse, a bedroom ... the decoration of the walls in this room was \na real challenge! The designers didn`t want straight lines, but, at \nthe same time, forms needed to maintain their natural curves and \ncharacter. After going through a lot of options, the best solution \nwas found – wall panels took the form of broken boards, the \nbeauty of which was emphasised by hidden decorative lighting.\n“When everything around is in a hurry \nand running, it’s so nice to realise that \na real warmness, cosiness and harmony \nare waiting for you at home.”\nPROJECTS \u002F\u002F\n",121,{"image":491,"text":492,"number":493},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F47\u002F4f6cd07cce84faa79f40b0e55c7bec.122.png","FLAMINGO RESTAURANT \nMADRID, SPAIN\n",122,{"image":495,"text":496,"number":497},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F47\u002F4f6cd07cce84faa79f40b0e55c7bec.123.png","COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 123.\nManaging her own design studio, Interiorismo, the proficient \nSpanish interior designer Marisa Gallo is renowned for her talent \nin creating singular yet balanced spaces, her style and aesthetics are \nrather distinctive but filled with elegance and timeless classicism.\nTogether with a proficient team of designers, Interiorismo \nspecialises in the creation of commercial and residential spaces in \nboth Spain and Latin America. \nFairly recently, the designer was responsible for the interior design \nof the Flamingo restaurant project involved in Casa Decor, Madrid. \nThe atmosphere of the dining venue is very much inspired by \nMiami City during the 80’s while also gathering personal touches \nof Marisa Gallo, including most of the furniture pieces which were \ndesigned by Interiorismo Studio and handcrafted by artisans in \nSpain with some of the best fabrics brands. \nThe central concept was to conceive a tropical and vibrant \naesthetic alongside a cosmopolitan ambience.

He had to use his ver-\nsatile skills to satisfy the most demanding tastes and adapt himself \nto a clientele that is always on the lookout for the detail that makes \nall the difference, playing with the codes of luxury hotels.\nAnd he highlights Parisian flavour instead of international special-\nties. “If you want to dine international, there are many places to \ndo it in the city. What we do here at Le Cinq is Parisian, and we do \nit very well.” We must agree since menus draw on classic French \nculinary techniques and also embrace newer, lighter cooking styles, \nalways incorporating the freshest regional ingredients.\nLe Squer feels honored to be part of “the long line of very big chefs” \nthat turned the George V into a destination for French haute cui-\nsine. Even more, he continues, was the opportunity to move to \nan international stage. “At Pavillon Ledoyen, (his ancient working \nplace) we had no public relations at all.

I love speaking with journalists, and \nbeing able to get word out about what we create is very gratifying.”, \nhe adds.\nWhat Le Squer creates is “the art of eating French style.” He draws \nfrom the local tradition of le cuisine bourgeois – that is, cuisine as it \nwas prepared for families by private chefs – as well as the myriad re-\ngional influences – from the coast of his native Brittany to the south \nof France – that shape culinary offerings and delight palates across \nthe city. He has a passion for seafood (in fact he wanted to be a \nfisherman when he was younger) so he was determined to bring fla-\nvours of the sea to the menu at Le Cinq. A detail that is not known \ngenerally is that he swims for an hour every morning before cycling \nto work, adjusting his hobbies to his renowned career.\nMichelin Guide describes him as a “composer of tastes”. The truth \nis that Le Squer reinterprets traditional French dishes with lighter, \nsofter and more refreshing touches preferred by contemporary din-\ners. Like a perfumer or a couturier, he fashions flavours that linger \nlong in the mouth, piecing together signature dishes that combine \ntastes, textures and colours – such as Transparency of Ginger, Cam-\npari and Orange; Essence of the Sea with scallop au naturel with \niced tarama; and gratinated onions à la Parisian that burst with soup \nat the touch of a spoon – to evoke “unexpected sensations.” \nAnd it was that exactly that feeling that invaded us during our ex-\nperience at Le Cinq. It’s amazing how graciously we are served, the \nattention to detail, the delicacy of the suggestions and the mastery \nof the organization around us. We were leaded through a world of \nunique flavors, in which the palate rejoices with the intensity of \nthe flavor that fills us. It is interesting to note that although it is a \nluxury restaurant, there is a certain subtle formalism that is unpre-\ntentious. All the surrounding ambiance catapults us into an idyllic, \ncharming setting where ambiance and gastronomy make the per-\nfect match. \nWe were invited to start firstly with some unique experiences: on \na spoon there was what a ginger bubble which exploded with fla-\nvours of campari and orange in the mouth. A tremendous sensation \nthat is felt intensely while multiple sensations of delight are lit. \nAfter this deep dive into Le Squer delicacy, we experienced divine \nlunch starters: iodized flavors foie gras \u002F caviar, accompanied by spe-\ncially designed wines: wines chosen by Eric Beaumard ( director of \nle Cinq) such as Vrouvray Demi -Sec 2012 Domaine Forean. All this \nserved in a careful and meticulous way, with a refined touch and an \nincredibly intense taste. During this unforgettable experience, they \nintroduced us the wine list which has a vast repertoire of wines but \nwe let ourselves be led by the suggestion of the already experienced \ndirector of Le Cinq.  \n \nWORLD’S FINEST RESTAURANTS\u002F\u002F\n",189,{"image":763,"text":764,"number":765},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002F47\u002F4f6cd07cce84faa79f40b0e55c7bec.190.png","Bread service came along we’re presented with a gorgeous tray filled \nwith three types of rolls.

He likes to enable, challenge and motivate his \nteam, encouraging chefs to shop and dine out in the city, the better \nto spot or even launch new culinary trends.\nSimilarly, Le Squer believes strongly in research and development, \nassigning team members to explore new culinary directions, tech-\nniques and flavours that originate from his own ideas.

In the \nend, nothing is superfluous and everything has its own place.\nLe Squer wasn’t drawn to the culinary world by anyone or thing \nin particular.

Le Pain Français was neither a bakery, a cafe nor \na pastry shop when founded on August 18, 1995. Instead, it began \nas a dream in a courtesy truck, with which the company’s founder \ndelivered baguettes to convenience stores.  But, during the long ex-\npeditions around Gothenburg, a vision emerged to create a French \ncafé with bakery and pastry shop. Against all odds and advises, \ntwo French bakers started the café. In the coming years, the French \nconcept was further refined.  Today, Le Pain Français Bistro is a \nrestaurant, bar, café and tea room that extends over 1,200 square \nmeters, has 400 seats and four different levels, each one with its \nown and special theme. The entry level is inspired by La Belle \nÉpoque and serves lunch, dinner and snacks. At the basement’s \nbread workshop one can have a peak at the chefs working, whilst \non the second and third floor one will find chic tea rooms, a VIP \nroom, bars, and an orangery.  The Bistro’s French menu offers ev-\nerything from breakfast to dinner, and the three bars are open until \nlate on weekends. Sunday is brunch day, when a buffet of hot and \ncold French dishes and pastries are served. The service is friendly \nand attentive.  The interior design of the bistro, designed by Stylt \nTrampoli, has received attention in the international media, since \nits opening. It has been selected by design magazine Bored Panda as \none of the world’s twenty best-designed restaurants and bars.

From the \nfood, to the location and the décor. Situated at the foot of Ho-\ntel Ukraina with a view across the river to the Russian White \nHouse, Erwin has gone under a renovation and reopened with a \nnew concept and an extended name “RekaMoreOkean” (River, \nSea, Ocean). The restaurant, run by Alexander Rappoport - a \nman whose list of previous projects reads like who’s who of \nhigh-end Moscow dining, - has a remarkable menu of fish and \nseafood, famous for the unique assortment of fish caught do-\nmestically (25 rivers and seas in Russia) at definitely good pric-\nes, according to the capital standards.

Erwin’s décor was \nnot easy to complete, or so it says the team of designers from \nMMZ Bureau.

Copper colored \nsynthetic leather seats contrast with colorful velvet dining \nchairs, metal differs from fabric, and the final result is a luxuri-\nous groovy set where clients can have a great meal or relax after \na busy day. The studio projected the bar area as a sophisticated \ncontrasting set with copper and a bright color palette. “The \nidea of the look was to make a huge metal bridge in an elegant \natmosphere and add some bright spots” says Maria Zhukova, \nthe Chief Architect. Besides the quality food and the rich inte-\nriors, another two of the reasons why this place has become so \npopular are the fact that the restaurant is located at the bank \nof the Moscow River with available parking space along em-\nbankment from both sides of the driveway, an area turned into \na restaurant cluster with a number of amazing restaurants.
