"There was so much beauty, so much more than enough for everyone, that it did appear to be a vain activity to try and make a corner in it." This quote captures the essence of Villa Beatrice, where beauty and luxury converge in a breathtaking setting.

The Grand Pigalle Experimental hotel is situated in the heart of SoPi, with Montmartre and the Sacre Couer within walking distance, making it an ideal location for exploring Paris.

BREMEN is designed to change the way people interact with music by allowing everyday objects to become actual instruments, thus removing traditional barriers to music-making.

The collection spans several categories in the home, featuring smart storage pieces like the electric lime Lacquer Entryway Storage Pillar and a crescent moon-shaped chair and ottoman set.

From a functional standpoint, I needed a bed that could be easily assembled, had considerable storage capability, and was built with durability top of mind. I liked the idea of Japanese joinery because it meant a tool-free experience.

Our role is, first and foremost, to transmit our fascination with a craft and to ignite that same excitement in the designer. This is the foundation of our curatorial approach: creating the right encounter between a designer's universe and that of a workshop.

Regardless of the address, the revered fashion designer always, unabashedly, combined old with new, shedding fresh light on various historical design movements and their most important pioneers. Most of these homes have been the subject of expansive magazine print features and the fodder of tabloid headlines but little focus has ever really been placed on his workspaces.

There's a certain playfulness that I want to bring to the home category, just like fashion. Nothing in the line is overly precious. I try not to take it all too seriously.

Off the Grain works out of Halifax in West Yorkshire, handcrafting every piece to order. Forget flat-pack or particleboard - here, it's all about real materials and genuine expertise. Skilled craftspeople cut, join, and finish each item by hand. You can pick your dimensions, wood, and finish, so the final piece fits your space instead of the other way around.

Traveling to different home trade shows is a big part of my job, and sometimes it's hard for me to fully turn my editor brain off after a day of scouting new products and design trends. The fallout? I'm always looking at my surroundings and snapping photos of clever decorating ideas I see "in the wild." And what I mean by that, of course, is that every restaurant, museum, hotel, store, and so on has something to share.

The exterior runs on strict formal logic. Vertical fluting covers the door panels from edge to edge, each ridge precisely cut into the stone so the surface ripples with shadow even under flat ambient light. On plain marble, this treatment would read as architectural severity, which is exactly the point. The fluting establishes a rhythm, almost like a grid, that makes what comes next feel genuinely disruptive.

I like to create a small universe. From the master plan to the doorknobs, from the trees planted outside to the way people will sit and eat and dance inside, you create and control a whole microcosm.

Some of my best discoveries, turns out, were found in the most typical of hardware and sundries stores. When it comes to cleaning, the French aren't wielding harsh chemicals or power tools, but rather, sticking to what's worked for generations. Among us at Remodelista, there's at least one tool or product we've each co-opted into our own American homes. Here are our favorites.

There's something about trendspotting in France that just hits differently. Maybe it's the Haussmannian architecture, which provides such a charming backdrop that you almost don't even notice you're literally running from showroom to showroom. Or maybe it's the fact that some of the brands on display truly are new - and in some cases, not even available stateside yet. Whatever the reason, I look forward to Maison&Objet and Paris Déco Off, two furniture- and textile-forward events in Paris, each January.

Furniture made from mycelium or algae can decompose in five years, sure, but a well-made antique armoire outlives empires because no one throws it away. Columns takes that logic seriously. Handcrafted in solid oak, natural leather, and horsehair, the pieces are built to last a thousand years, which sounds like marketing hyperbole until you look at the joinery, the hand stitching, and the material choices. This is furniture designed to be inherited, repaired, and remembered.

Hours away from my home, bins of tiny metal balls gleamed in the fluorescent light. These small orbs had brought me from New York City to Munsingen, Switzerland, a three-and-a-half-square-mile city with a population of 13,000 just outside of Bern. I'd made the pilgrimage to visit the factory of the midcentury modular furniture line USM Haller, where these spheres are the heart of the operation.

How did a material conceived for bridges, factories, and large-scale structures make its way to the living room bench, the apartment bookshelf, the café table? For centuries, metal was associated with labor, machinery, and monumentality-from the exposed structures of 19th-century World's Fairs to the productive logic of modern industry. Its presence in domestic interiors is not self-evident but rather a cultural achievement: the transformation of an industrial material into an element of everyday, intimate use, in close proximity to the body.

You know that feeling when you run your fingers across something and the texture makes you stop in your tracks? That's exactly the vibe British furniture maker Nick James is going for with his sideboard featuring sculpted doors. And honestly, it's the kind of piece that makes you rethink what furniture can be. At first glance, it looks like a solid oak sideboard. Clean lines, classic proportions, nothing too flashy.
