Products
Poltrona Frau flagship designs which were also displayed at Milano Design Week.
Italian powerhouse Poltrona Frau released the “Five Seasons” collection at Milano Design Week, which wraps today. The debut explores “spring, summer, autumn and winter, completed by a “fifth season”: the most personal and intimate one, evoking a deep sense of well-being and harmony.” Also worth noting: the brand recently debuted Pelle Frau® Nest leather, which achieves a 15% reduction in chemical use and a 10% decrease in water consumption through advanced wastewater recovery technologies in the general tanning, re-tanning, and finishing process.
Vine blots wallpaper by Franquemont London.
London-based interior decor brand Franquemont released their first wallpaper collection, a vibrant and eclectic mix of five travel-influenced designs led by founder Svetlana Willems. We love the way their bold designs co-exist along side muted marble finishes.
Browse the Franquemont wallpaper collection (and fun styling photography!) on their website.

Where to place a bed in feng shui design by Dear Modern.
Free and actionable feng shui architectual and design guidance? Sign us up! We’re smitten with @Dear Modern, a YouTube channel led by architect Cliff Tan, packed with videos on practical tips and space planning for maximum design feng shui and balance. Tan also published a book digging in deeper to these concepts in 2022, which lends itself as a great analog resource for designers looking for inspiration off screen.
