Postcard from North Macedonia

Aug 2, 2024 | cabanamagazine.com | Oliver Maclennan

POSTCARD FROM | CABANA TRAVEL | CABANA MAGAZINEBY OLIVER MACLENNAN | CABANA TRAVEL | 2 AUGUST 2024On Sunday mornings in the village of Radozhda - and elsewhere across all North Macedonia - it is normal to find families in the cemetery. During the long hot summers, these gatherings begin early around daybreak, and, as you might expect, there’s a mixture of people and emotions.
Photographer Tim Clinch’s Bulgarian home is furnished from flea market finds

Jul 31, 2024 | worldofinteriors.com | Oliver Maclennan

‘It’s all old junk from the market, picked up around and about.’ Tim Clinch, a professional photographer who has lived in Bulgaria, on and off, for nearly 20 years now, has certainly done more than collect ‘old junk’. Located in Mindya, a pretty village that sprawls out among the foothills of the Balkans, his house is roughly three hours from Sofia. It’s a beautiful spot, the landscape thick with trees and flowers, but the village itself has been somewhat neglected in the past few decades.
Benoit Rauzy’s 18th-century holiday home in Brittany

Jun 28, 2024 | worldofinteriors.com | Oliver Maclennan

Four plates hand-painted, hang in a row above a neat kitchen worktop: windswept nautical scenes (a sailboat, a lighthouse) sit between abstract designs of a Celtic flavour. They are rare, and to see them together – one of only five such sets ever made – is rarer still.

A Practical Country Garden In Spargo Creek, VIC

Nov 13, 2023 | homestolove.com.au | Oliver Maclennan |Joanna Maclennan

The names alone evoke a strong sense of place: Spargo Creek, Moorabool, the Great Dividing Range. The hamlet – "literally a sign on the road" – lies just off the freeway to Melbourne, amid thick forest, and close to Daylesford, a diverse and creative community where Natasha Morgan always stops for a morning cup of tea after dropping her children at school.
Playing house in Dominique Lafourcade’s Lilliputian summer houses for children

Sep 21, 2023 | worldofinteriors.com | Oliver Maclennan

‘It is not a doll’s house,’ stresses Dominique Lafourcade, sitting in her regular adult-sized kitchen in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. The ‘Palazzo Alto’, located beneath an awning between the main house and the garden, is certainly too large, too grand, too magnificent, to be that. But nor is it big enough – not quite – to accommodate a roomful of grown-ups. Not without one or two mishaps. ‘It’s a child’s house,’ she clarifies. ‘Everything is to scale. The doors, for example, are 1.25m, as opposed to 1.8m.
Empire records: marvellous marble bathrooms at the Bulgari hotel in Rome

Jul 13, 2023 | worldofinteriors.com | Gianluca Longo |Oliver Maclennan |Hussein Omar |Eppie Thompson

Naturally, the hotel is in a historic location, with strong symbolic value: it faces the circular first-century BC Mausoleum of Augustus, the first Roman emperor, and the Ara Pacis, the altar that celebrates the Pax Romana – the period of peace imposed by the authorities – preserved within the museum of the same name designed by Richard Meier.
The Chairman’s Train has the glamorous air of a bygone era

Jul 9, 2023 | worldofinteriors.com | Amy Sherlock |Eppie Thompson |Oliver Maclennan |Hussein Omar

A busy rail hub in northwest England feels like an unlikely portal to the golden age of train travel. Pendolinos, when not grounded by rail strikes, lurch and sway at nauseating speed, the countryside passing in a blur. Heady with the fragrance of blocked toilets, they offer weary travellers the meagre comforts of palate-scalding tea and sad, overpriced sandwiches.
I'd Go Back For... the music in the rooms at Nine Orchard, NYC

Jul 9, 2023 | worldofinteriors.com | Gianluca Longo |Daisy Garnett |Hussein Omar |Oliver Maclennan

The rooms are all surprisingly light, given the cornered shape of the building. And they are numbered as they would be in a New York apartment block, which I found cute. They are minimalist and have chic design touches, from the custom-made bed frames to the restored wall mouldings. The hand-painted ceramic lamps and guest room beds were crafted in collaboration with Tyler Hays of BDDW. The rooms also feature specially commissioned artworks.
