ISSUE NO. 28

A March Issue

Interior identity is defined by the intentional choices that make a space feel inherently ours. It’s the textures we’re drawn to, the colors that bring comfort, and the objects with personal meaning—these are the powerful markers that make a home feel soulful, not just staged.

ARCHITECTURALLY CURIOUS

Glowing Against the Grain

In a narrow alley in Seoul, a cosmetics brand—GLOW—sought to create a showroom that would reflect its core spirit and values of transparency and brilliance. The challenge was clear: how to create a visually appealing experience in a small space.

A Glass Act

The solution was deceptively simple yet powerful: glass. The entire showroom was designed around the idea of transparency—with glass serving as both the material and metaphor that embodied the brand’s ethos. This choice was more than aesthetic—it was intentional.

Clear Boundaries

The interior—though only 380 sq ft—feels expansive as the transparent surfaces stretch across the walls, ceiling, and floor. A curving glass partition serves as a defining feature that guides visitors from the outside while subtly dividing the space into functional zones—creating a seamless flow.

GLOBAL GLIMPSE

Delhi: A Colorful Conversation

Located in Delhi, India—the Sassy Bow home—is a vibrant, 6,000 square-foot residence. The home is a unique blend of modernist design principles with eclectic collections of unexpected art, furniture, and objects—making it not only a place of living but also a visual and emotional expression.

Done Differently

This residence is drastically different from the typical Delhi opulent design that the city is known for. The conventional style often leans toward flamboyant luxury—filled with bold color schemes, gold-accented furniture, and heavily patterned wallpapers. This focusing instead on clean lines and modern design that maintains both openness and intimacy.

A Visual Play

Each corner tells a different story. Upon entering, you’re greeted by a double-height foyer with bold checkerboard marble flooring and an eye-catching black spiral staircase. From the honey-hued Sesann sofa in the living room to the striking green quartzite rock table in the dining area—there’s a cohesive thread of creativity that perfectly ties it all together.

VISUAL COMFORT

A Cliffside Collection

On a clifftop overlooking the sea—an iconic home was designed to merge two distinct architectural traditions. Built in the early 1970s, this structure blends the minimalist Scandinavian design with the rugged, earthy materials of the Balearic Islands.

A Lasting Influence

We see a lasting influence on architecture in features like arched doorways, intricate tilework, and courtyards designed for natural cooling. Through the use of wood, stone, glass, and ceramics, this new collection connects nature with a relaxed, outdoor-inspired lifestyle.

A Circular Future

At the heart of this collection is a commitment to sustainability—reflecting the same respect for the environment that shaped the original design. By prioritizing materials that are durable, eco-friendly, and timeless—the collection embodies the idea that good design should stand the test of time.

MUSICAL INTERLUDE

What I'm Listening to in March

When we lead with interior identity—our spaces move beyond what looks good to what feels right. Our personal history and instinct influence our environments and it starts to feel genuinely ours. I’ll see you next week, my friend.

Warmly,
