Somany’s new wall-hung closet, Postura , sits within the brand’s French Collection, but it doesn’t lean on ornament or dramatic styling. The idea behind it is simpler and more practical: make a closet that feels natural to use, something that supports the body instead of forcing it into an awkward posture. The result is a product that settles quietly into a bathroom and does its job without trying to look loud or overly sculpted. The design is gentle in the way it presents it

High above Puerto de la Cruz, on a hill that has watched over the north of Tenerife for more than a century, the Gran Hotel Taoro has opened its doors once again. For locals, the silhouette of the building has always carried a sense of nostalgia. For travellers, it has been a name whispered in the island’s early tourism history — the first grand hotel in the region, a jewel from 1890 that shaped how the world once imagined holidays in the Canary Islands. Now, after a meticul

Singapore’s theatre calendar is preparing for a jolt of mischievous, Broadway-grade energy as Beetlejuice The Musical arrives for its first and only Asian stop. The production, running from 15 January to 15 February 2026 at the Esplanade Theatres, brings with it far more than a celebrated show — it ushers in a rare collaboration that blends hospitality, performance, and playful immersion through Pan Pacific Hotels Group’s exclusive themed stay experience . For Pan Pacific H

When Jumeirah steps into a new world, it rarely does so quietly. This season, the brand enters the realm of luxury yachting with a partnership that feels almost cinematic: The Maltese Falcon, a Jumeirah Privé Experience . For a hospitality group known for shaping some of the most recognisable silhouettes on the Dubai skyline, the move toward the open sea feels both unexpected and completely aligned with its instinct for grandeur. The Maltese Falcon has long held a mythical pl

When the Gstaad Palace in Gstaad, Switzerland opens for the winter on 15 December 2025, it returns with a story that still holds its charm half a century later. In 1975, Blake Edwards’ The Return of the Pink Panther was filmed largely inside this Alpine landmark — its lobby, revolving doors, and the now-legendary GreenGo nightclub became part of Hollywood’s visual memory. The European premiere was also held here, turning a quiet corner of Saanenland into an unexpected cinem

Set within a quiet expanse of the Colorado Plateau, Amangiri has long been a place where travellers come to encounter the desert at its own pace. The architecture folds itself into the rock, the mesas rise around the property like steady companions, and the landscape dictates the rhythm of the day. It is from this setting — stark, cinematic, and strangely grounding — that Amangiri has introduced a new way to experience the region. The property now offers private flight tours

At the point where the Atlantic meets the Indian Ocean, a quiet shift has taken place inside Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel, Cape Town. The landmark property has opened Amura , a restaurant shaped by the vision of Michelin-starred Spanish chef Ángel León , marking the first time he has brought his unmistakable, ocean-centred philosophy outside his home country. Known internationally as “the Chef of the Sea,” León approaches the ocean not as a pantry but as a living, breathing

In this 7,500 sq ft residence at The Camellias, Gurugram, Ravoh and RVH craft an interior that feels both precise and quietly expressive. The project emerges from a close collaboration between Ravoh — led by Ravish and Somya Vohra — and RVH’s bespoke design practice. Together, they bring a level of craftsmanship and material clarity that defines the apartment’s character. Ravoh’s ongoing partnerships with Italian designers inform the aesthetic, but the home ultimately sits co

House of Migo marks the festive season with a jewellery edit shaped for everything December holds — warm Christmas dinners, intimate reunions, and those last evenings of the year when dressing up becomes part of the celebration. The brand’s familiar blend of British cool and Indian design intuition runs through the collection, giving the pieces a clarity and identity that feel unmistakably theirs. Co-founders Anisha Mittal and Isha Goyal have built a label that does not chase

PAYAL KHANDWALA ends the year by returning to the language that has defined the label from the beginning—clarity of form, a preference for sculptural silhouettes, and fabrics that carry depth without excess. The new capsule, released this December, focuses on moments that feel slow, personal, and unforced. It is built around the idea of dressing for oneself rather than for spectacle. The collection reflects the brand’s understanding of the modern woman, the one Payal Khandwal

Poltrona Frau’s 2025 “The Five Seasons” collection brings several new pieces into its catalogue, but the one drawing the most attention is Blisscape , a sofa designed by Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba . It takes the brand’s longstanding interest in comfort and craftsmanship and gives it a language that feels unmistakably contemporary. The name comes from a blend of bliss and escape —a small cue to the mood the designers wanted to create. They reference the easy, unhur

As conversations around hygiene and safety continue to shape the way homes function, kitchen appliances are evolving to meet these new expectations. Hafele’s Valeriya Semi-Integrated Built-In Dishwasher reflects this shift, introducing a feature designed specifically for families who prioritise health without compromising on convenience. At the centre of the appliance is the Hygiene 72°C Wash Programme , a high-temperature cycle that keeps the wash at 72°C long enough to elim
