The 'Bespoke' Issue

With Guest Editor Yasmine Ghoniem, we are launched headfirst into the world of unique and eclectic design. From architecture to interiors, there is nothing that can’t be enlivened with bespoke interventions. Granted, a stunningly beautiful home can be made by simply shopping for the best, but when the artist’s hand is introduced, some pure magic is possible. Whether it is an artwork or a new upholstery, a built-in component or a mosaic inlay, these gestures, whether bold or subtle, are what make the home unique.

B&B Italia: Poetry in the Shape

As the year of celebrations for B&B’s 50th comes to an end, they have now released to the public the fascinating documentary divulging the company’s enigmatic history.

On 13 April 2017, B&B Italia celebrated two things: the company’s 51st anniversary and the birthday of its founder, Ambrogio Busnelli. The year prior – to mark their momentous 50th anniversary – they released a documentary on the company’s unique and enigmatic history full of exclusive content and little known anecdotes. Initially this doco was shared with a small selection of partners and design enthusiasts. Now, however, the short film is available online from which everyone, globally, can benefit.
