The design team at Znamy Się introduces a glass installation with a ridged, biconvex profile that references the form of the eye's lens. Positioned to interact with natural daylight, the element refracts and distorts incoming sunlight, echoing the optical function of focusing light onto the retina. Through this intervention, light operates not only as illumination but as a shaping device within the space.
After years of modern, ultra-polished aesthetics dominating the design industry, people are yearning for character. Young renters and homebuyers are indicating that new-builds and gut-renovated spaces, despite clean lines and amenities, simply pale in comparison to the aesthetic charm of an older home.

Operable doors and clerestory windows flood every room with natural light. Charles's palette tends toward rich tones-ochre in a bedroom with a built-in desk, shades of rose in a cabin suite, deep blue and leafy green in the guest barn's living room-and a variety of textures atypical of a mountain abode.
As part of the brand's ambitious plan to add four new EVs to its portfolio by the end of 2028, the company wants to ditch some of the software buttons found in today's models in favor of proper hardware buttons.

Architect-turned-interior designer Anh Ly, founder and CEO of Mim Concept, explains why the color surged in the first place: "Butter yellow had a magic moment because it felt optimistic and comforting, especially during a time when people were craving warmth at home." Now, that emotional pull is also what's working against it. "It fell short on resale since it's a very emotion-specific color. Buyers tend to see it as personal rather than neutral, which makes it harder for them to imagine themselves in the space," Ly adds.
When Mandy Moore re-renovated her Altadena home last year, she and her husband Taylor Goldsmith inevitably tapped AD100 talent Sarah Sherman Samuel: the actor's longtime designer who also worked on the couple's midcentury home in 2018.
