ERIK RIMMER Erik Rimmer, editor-in-chief of Bo Bedre, “Scandinavia and Denmark’s largest interior design magazine”, approached Vogue Living with the story on the Danish royal couple’s renovation (page 26). “Seeing the new building was a great experience,” says Rimmer, who spent time on-site. “Something the pictures cannot show is the atmosphere, which is superb; the acoustics are second to none. I have known Queen Mary for years because she has presented design awards, which my magazine hosts. Her heart beats for young designers.” Sustainability is an “incredibly important part” of Scandinavian design, he notes, and by leading this circular project, the King and Queen “are showing a model example of the construction of the future. It is not necessarily easy, but it is necessary.” PAOL A MORETTI A creative director…

To fall in love with a 17th-century courtyard house in the very heart of Tunis’s Medina is not a common thing, and to ask the minimalist architect John Pawson to redesign it is a real challenge. But this is what happened to a Paris-based design consultant who had long been familiar with Tunisia. It was a strange choice for a holiday home, accessible only by foot through the winding, crowded streets of a historic medina in the midst of an Arabo-Muslim city of more than two million inhabitants. But there is no way of predicting a coup de foudre. The Medina of Tunis, with its souks, residential quarters, madrassas (schools where the Koran is studied), mosques and zaouias (mausoleums), monuments and gates, constitutes an urban fabric among the best conserved…

When fashion influencer and Rouje founder Jeanne Damas and partner Edouard clocked eyes on this 20th arrondissement terraced apartment in Paris, it was love at first sight. What they didn’t adore, however, was the décor, so they turned to their architect friend, Maxime Bousquet, for advice. “Edouard had a lot of ideas and interiors references already, and Jeanne has her own world aesthetically, so it was an interesting process,” Bousquet recalls of the renovation, which included removing walls and existing flooring to draw more natural light into the space.

Minds race and technology sprints, but Cartier practices the art of taking it slow. At the French jewellery and watchmaker’s Maison des Métiers d’Art, a laboratory of luxury in the World Heritage-listed Swiss city of La Chaux-de-Fonds, time is worth saving — it holds priceless ancestral knowledge and the promise of future invention. Faced with the potential extinction of artistic crafts in the paucity of written documentation, Cartier founded the Maison des Métiers d’Art in 2014 on a farm acquired with the intention of one day turning it into a centre of savoir-faire. “La Chaux-de-Fonds is the heart of the watchmaking industry and home to the most important watchmaking manufacturers,” says Karim Drici, manufacturing director at Cartier. The Maison occupies a 17th-century Bernese-style farmhouse, the whitewashed façade deceiving in its…

While this very chic residential area of South Beach is home to some of the most beautiful villas in Miami, this particular address has a singular attribute that cannot be said of its neighbours — Hispanic architecture sublimated by the patina of time. The structure is arranged around a traditional patio where colonnades and immaculate curtains tell the story of another era. A time when President Franklin D. Roosevelt visited his son, who owned the house. A time when garden parties were thrown and crystal flutes were exchanged around the swimming pool, next to a wooden pontoon. “We asked ourselves what Miami is today, because that’s exactly what we wanted to avoid,” says Fabrizio Casiraghi, who has captured the soul and essence of this villa, all 700 square metres of…

John Keats, the English Romantic poet once wrote, “A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness…” His poetry finds ebullient expression in the Birchgrove home of a family charmed by its heritage beauty. That the owners weren’t even in the market builds on Keats’s point: time does nothing to diminish the value of homes with history; they remain as desirable as ever. A 1920s bungalow on a rarefied strip of waterfront, the house had undergone a restoration in the ’90s, the ripeness of its original features preserved. “I really do love this house a lot — it’s one of the most intact heritage houses I’ve worked on,” says Arent&Pyke co-founder and principal Sarah-Jane Pyke by way of comment on the…

Everyone knows the fairytale romance of QUEEN MARY AND KING FREDERIK X of Denmark, from their first meeting at the Slip Inn during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games to their royal wedding in 2004, which more than one million Australians tuned in for. The unbelievable love story of that girl from Tassie won the hearts of every Australian, and still it captures our attention. When Erik Rimmer, editor-in-chief of Bo Bedre, Denmark’s largest interior design magazine, contacted me directly with the incredible story on the royal couple’s TRAILBLAZING RENOVATION (page 26) I was thrilled. The opportunity reinforces how respected Vogue Living is internationally, and it reveals how connected Queen Mary is to her first home country and our beloved design community. Not only is it rare to obtain permission to…

Menopause is having its moment,” announced Good Morning America TV anchor Robin Roberts when introducing 58-year-old Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry to the show’s recent talkfest on what leading peer-review medical journal The Lancet describes as “an inevitable life stage for half the world’s population”. Roberts’ intimation of a trending “moment” certainly validates in the sell-out success of author Miranda July’s latest book All Fours, an auto-fiction hailed by The New York Times as “the first great perimenopause novel” for its portrayal of a middle-aged artist on the precipice of “the oestrogen cliff”. And it reverberates in Berry’s riled-up anecdotes and activist efforts as one of a new wave of star-powered women making menopause a cause celebre on Washington’s Capitol Hill and in Canberra’s recent Senate inquiry, which shocked to account…

How does a designer capture the essence of a holiday, a thing so intangible and unique it’s often hard to describe, let alone visualise? As hotels increasingly become destinations, the question of bottling that je ne sais quoi is outweighed by the act of creating spaces guests want to relax, recharge and unwind in. Raes on Wategos has been doing it for 30 years and a recent expansion into a second building, Raes Guesthouses, designed by Tamsin Johnson, sets the standard for how design-led hotels in Australia can reimagine themselves as destinations. Through her signature take on eclectic art, object and furniture sourcing, alongside thoughtful finishes that blur lines between home and hotel, the Sydney-based interior designer unveils a project that matures and enriches coastal style as we know it.…
