The OUT-FIT outdoor gym by Studio Adolini for Ethimo looks nothing like most home gyms, and that’s completely intentional. Where traditional weight racks are made with thick gauge steel – heavy both in weight and appearance for an industrial aesthetic best relegated to the garage – the OUT-FIT is designed to transform a backyard deck, terrace, garden, park, or rooftop into your own miniature boutique gym “for keeping fit surrounded by nature.” Combining a pergola-like metal frame with a teak slat shade, the open-air pavilion dedicated to sweat-inducing activities ratchets down the intimidati ..read more

Beyond the utility of shelter, home serves as a backdrop for life while providing a safe place to collect memories, many of which are often stored in the house’s quirks and expressed through interior design. SkB Architects embraces this notion of immersion into memory with their solution for a San Francisco Residence that seamlessly stitches global inspirations into a storied structure with a through-line of California cool.

However, there may be no one else better qualified to blur that boundary than Zaha Hadid Architects. In fact, they may have effectively obliterated that line with Erosion, the firm’s latest collection designed for Italy-based Neutra Design. Unveiled at this year’s Milan Design Week 2024, the collection consists of the Minera table ..read more

In 2006, Le Labo’s inaugural retail store in New York City’s budding Nolita neighborhood introduced many to the previously unfamiliar concept of wabi-sabi. The intentional deconstruction – featuring chipped paint, holes in walls, and exposed pipes – came together in a then novel manner that simultaneously represented the brand as a whole while also showcasing the art of Le Labo’s perfumery.
