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.

Place of residence for a pilot and his wife, who works from home, and their two young children, the other more practical reason for the curves was to “create child friendly spaces by omitting sharp corners,” according to architects EHKA Studio.

In the kitchen a curved wall conceals the fridge and the study, next door, has a curved glass wall that allows it and the space adjacent to “borrow” space from each other and give the illusion of spaciousness.
