How an Untrained Architect Made Oklahoma the Capital of Kitsch

Meet the latest maverick of the architecture world to steal our hearts, Bruce Goff. Lesser known amongst design laity, but just as groundbreaking as his fellow Midwesterner and mentor, Frank Lloyd Wright, Goff’s work was quite simply jaw-dropping. Case in point? The domed, technicolour house above. It might look like a groovy LA pad from the 1970s,…

Remember When You Could Mail Order an Entire House in a Giant DIY Kit?

Sears was once the largest and most powerful retailer in the United States of America before Walmart stole the title in 1989. It first began as a mail ordering catalog company in 1892, when they started peddling watches, then expanding into hardware, furniture and nearly anything else the American household could desire, focusing business in small…

Daughter Revives her Father’s Sleeping Chateau, Achieves Absolute Paradise on Earth

I‘ve just returned from a weekend in the middle of nowhere, France, staying in an 11th century chateau with better modern art and design than any major museum I’d ever reluctantly queued up for. And a peculiar thing happened when I got home after 48 blissful hours away. At 10 o’clock on a Sunday evening, I suddenly began re-decorating. In the midst of carefully re-arranging…

Wander through the Sicilian Village in a Cave, Frozen in Time

In the province of Trapani, Sicily, there’s a portal through time about eighty meters high and seventy meters deep. Nestled inside the natural opening of two mountain peaks, lies a tiny village, consisting of quaint earth-colored houses, a chapel, stables, workshops and one cobbled main street. The village “piazza” of Grotto Mangiapane is located at the mouth of the cave where…

Greenhouse Lunching & Offbeat Hunting in East London

Tucked away in an overlooked neighbourhood of East London, quieter and smaller than Shoreditch but with the potential to outshine Brick Lane, Exmouth Market is an unsung gem of the city, a failsafe foodie stomping ground, safeguarded by locals and creative start-ups who set up shop in the hood over the last decade. I had made a…

The Clandestine VIP Dinner in Paris

I once heard this is where French Presidents take their mistresses. Discretely tucked away in a backstreet of South Pigalle, it doesn’t look like much from the outside, but I think that’s the idea. The windows are veiled with curtains hung just high enough so as not to give anything away about what or who is inside… Well,…

My London Pied à Terre

Having grown up a London girl, I always feel too guilty and awkward to stay in a hotel when I go back to visit, so I usually end up crashing on someone’s couch. But London is becoming home to some of the most interesting boutique hotels in the world as of late, which means I’m…
