A joyous new outing for Peter Shire’s extraordinary ceramic teapots

Jan 11, 2025 | ft.com | Mark C O'Flaherty

The sculptor and furniture designer Peter Shire arguably warrants an institutional retrospective at the Design Museum or V&A.
Milan isn't burning - CIVILIAN

Jan 7, 2025 | civilianglobal.com | Mark C O'Flaherty

The world is on fire and everything’s absolutely dreadful, but Milan just banned smoking in public and I’m as happy about that news as I would have been if the light aircraft that crashed with Nigel Farage in it back in 2010 had met the earth with greater velocity. Nicotine has had a glow up in recent years, thanks to the nihilism-as-much-as-hedonism of Brat Summer, and anecdotal stories that simply EVERYONE in fashion is smoking again.
Once Cairo’s Tallest Building, the Immobilia Receives a New Lease of Life as a Design Destination

Dec 27, 2024 | admiddleeast.com | Mark C O'Flaherty

For a brief spell at the start of the 1940s, the Immobilia Building was not only Cairo’s tallest building, but also the tallest building in the Middle East. The city’s first skyscraper, designed by French architects Max Edrei and Gaston Rossi, was an arresting Art Deco addition to an area that was, at the time, sedate – unrecognisable from the chaos of the modern capital. It was a Belle Epoque enclave where wealthy residents enjoyed tranquil views of the pyramids and the Nile.
Late Chanel Creative Director Karl Lagerfeld’s Paris Home Is Now a Retro-Futuristic Time Capsule

Dec 17, 2024 | admiddleeast.com | Mark C O'Flaherty

Now that he was won the most coveted job in fashion, Matthieu Blazy, the new Chanel creative director has big boots to fill. Obviously, he will have Coco's spirit looming large over what he does next with the atelier that bears her name, but he will also have to prove that he is indeed a worthy successor to Karl Lagerfeld, who continues to wield influence five years after his passing, and remains a hard act to follow (sorry, Virginie).

Follow Your Bliss: The Serenity of Rainshower Experience

Oct 30, 2024 | archdaily.com | Mark C O'Flaherty

Showering is one of the most physically sensational rituals we commit to on a daily basis—often, when time allows, even multiple times between morning and night. It represents the transformative power of water on the body, offering a cascade of bliss and well-being. It is elemental as much as it is routine and purification.

Flush-to-Wall: Transforming Doors into Architectural Chameleons

Oct 24, 2024 | archdaily.com | Mark C O'Flaherty

Creating an unbroken line between floor and ceiling is one of the most elegant ways to manipulate the spatial qualities of a contemporary interior. Floor-to-ceiling glass is a recurrent motif in the modern high-rise home, offering views out to some of the most spectacular skylines in the world. Full-height doors, meanwhile, are just as contemporary and sensational, but have more nuance and engineering involved.
