There’s a stereotype that Midcentury-Modernism is stiff, cold, uninviting. Elegant only as it is stark. But the designs brought into being by consummate furniture designer Gilbert Rohde for Herman Miller in the interwar period prove anything but. Two pieces he’d created for the iconic furniture brand in the 1940s exemplify his gentler take on the modern aesthetic without sacrificing the movement’s avant-garde spirit—and they’re being released once again for the first time in over 80 years.

Lake Maggiore, an hour or so north of Milan, sits within the foothills of the Italian Alps. Quaint medieval villages sliced up by cobblestone streets dot its banks and in the center float minuscule islands adorned with Renaissance villas. It’s a popular weekend destination in the summertime when Italian families and visiting tourists flock to its rocky shores to dip in the cool mountain water.

Part performative, part confessional Annie Hamilton’s Internet presence reflects a persona she has spent years creating, channeled in humorous, diaristic prose, and wry, comedic characters. “People judge not being able to cook similarly to the way they judge not reading the news,” Hamilton tells Family Style before she shares her go-to recipe without missing a beat: hard-boiled eggs. “I like them firm and with a fully cooked yolk,” she explains.

Imagine long streets under the night sky teeming with people from all ages and walks of life on a shared mission. Around them, stalls glow as aromas diffuse into the cool air. Such a scene could be from any open air exchange across Asia Pacific, or conversely in any Chinatown across the globe.

How might what you wear fare in foul weather? How does each piece of clothing move as you go about your routine? Balenciaga’s Demna Gvasalia has always envisioned a vivid picture of the future with its bold and billowing silhouettes, designing garments that are simultaneously baggy and well tailored. Now the fashion house is doing just that on Apple Vision Pro.

“America is me. It gave me the only life I know—so I must share in its survival,” Gordon Parks wrote in a 1968 photo essay titled I Am You. “Look at me. Listen to me,” he urged the world. In partnership with the late photographer’s foundation, Pace celebrates his seminal work from 1940 to 1980 in a new exhibition at its Los Angeles gallery.

Cassandra Mayela Allen's practice is centered around care, both personal and collective. Her solo exhibition, “Desahogando: Undrowning,” at Olympia, which opens this week in New York, presents a collective history of immigrant spaces: how they become sites of both assimilation and expression. This is the artist’s second solo show with the gallery and a shift towards pushing the boundaries of textile artworks with the incorporation of repurposed photographic materials.

Though Christian Dior never traveled to the Land of the Rising Sun, Japanese art shaped his aesthetic from childhood. In his 1957 autobiography Dior by Dior, the couturier recalls sitting by the stairwell of his house in Granville, Normandy, and gazing at its panels of imitation Utamaro and Hokusai prints for so long that he came away with a bruised bottom.

I met Alon Schwabe and Daniel Fernández Pascual, collectively known as Cooking Sections, over a deliciously oily plate of caponata on the backstreets of Palermo, Italy, in 2018. The couple had just finished building barriers around citrus trees throughout the city from disused construction materials as part of their contribution to the 12th edition of Manifesta, the European art biennial.
