  • SEA NEW YORK'S FALL-WINTER COLLECTION

    For its Fall/Winter 2025 collection, SEA New York offers a poetic reinterpretation of the feminine wardrobe, blending Victorian influences, a bohemian spirit, and contemporary minimalism. True to its delicate and carefully crafted aesthetic, the New York-based brand blends rich textures, artisanal embroidery, and structured cuts in an autumnal palette of muted tones, punctuated by bright touches. The silhouettes oscillate between unashamed romanticism and modern functionality: puffy midi skirts, belted coats, lace blouses, and embroidered knits create a woman who is both dreamy and assertive. Each piece seems to tell a story, somewhere between heritage and innovation. A new highlight this season: fine, openwork lace, directly inspired by Breton folklore, adorns blouses, collars, and cuffs. This nod to traditional European craftsmanship fits perfectly with the brand's universe, both refined and rooted in craftsmanship. Pantalons tailleur, pulls façon varsity et jupes à carreaux apportent quant à eux une touche d’élégance estudiantine, subtilement vintage. SEA NY continue ainsi d’explorer une féminité subtilement rétro, ancrée dans l’époque, tout en restant fidèle à ses codes signature : élégance sans effort, détails soignés et esprit libre. " The result is a convincing dialogue between history and modernity. " ↳ sea-ny

  • Exhibition: DAVID LYNCH IN THE FRENCH COUNTRYSIDE

    © Salim Santa Lucia The graphic work of cult filmmaker David Lynch is on display this summer in Yvetot, in the heart of Normandy. A rare and daring exhibition, part of a broader movement: that of a countryside no longer content to be a spectator, but rather a player in contemporary creation. A breath of strangeness hangs over the Pays de Caux It was in the calm of a bocage landscape, amidst hedges, cows, and slate roofs, that one of the most intriguing cultural events of the summer emerged. From June 21 to September 21, 2025, the Galerie Duchamp in Yvetot, Normandy, is dedicating a posthumous exhibition to David Lynch, a legendary figure of world cinema and a visual artist in his own right. Some fifty dark and vibrant lithographs, accompanied by experimental films, are presented at this contemporary art center of national interest, located in the small Normandy town. This choice, far from being anecdotal, is a powerful gesture: proposing an encounter between Lynch's enigmatic universe and a territory that runs counter to the usual artistic circuits. "He was amused by the idea of ​​an exhibition in the heart of rural France," explains Alexandre Mare, the exhibition's curator. And this is precisely the project's true significance: offering a non-metropolitan audience a high-level artistic experience in a setting that fosters attention and wonder. It's no coincidence that more and more artists, curators, and institutions are focusing on locations outside of capital cities. The landscape becomes a backdrop, the silence is conducive to contemplation, and the gaze is sharpened. Yvetot is a shining example: here, there are no endless lines or selfie sticks, but an intimate face-to-face encounter with the works. Freely accessible, enriched with children's workshops, family visits, and ambitious educational outreach, the exhibition also embraces inclusion. Far from being an art form reserved for the initiated, Lynch à Yvetot becomes a shared adventure, attracting a variety of perspectives: those of film lovers, curious local residents, and young people on school trips. It's no longer simply "the countryside": it's a place of creation, experimentation, and dissemination. A fertile ground for culture...

  • SCHWARZSCHMIED HOTEL

    In the heart of the Val d'Ultimo valley, where the mountains sculpt a haven of serenity, the Schwarzschmied Hotel stands out for its understated luxury and hospitality that embodies the contemporary art of living. More than just an alpine refuge, this iconic location boldly combines local tradition with avant-garde design, for an immersive experience where every detail counts. In Lana, a small village nestled between orchards and mountains a few kilometers from Merano in South Tyrol, the Schwarzschmied Hotel offers a unique experience. Designed as a place to relax and refocus, the establishment combines minimalist design, holistic well-being, and immersion in nature. Built in 1981, the hotel has been carefully redesigned to become an open, calm, and grounded living space. The original architecture has been modernized with a refined aesthetic, where wood, stone, and natural light take center stage. Larch, spruce, marble from Val Venosta, and porphyry from Val Sarentino: regional materials were chosen for their raw character and simplicity. The common areas—reception, lounge, and Bistro Luce—function like a vast, open-plan living room, ideal for reading, conversation, or contemplation. Large bay windows erase the boundary between interior and exterior, providing visual continuity with the surrounding landscape. The spacious and bright rooms are designed to offer discreet comfort. The style is understated and contemporary, with natural materials—wood, stone, and linen—creating a soothing atmosphere. Some rooms feature balconies with mountain or vineyard views, perfect for relaxing upon waking. " When steam rises from the pool, when the veranda offers shade, when the yoga session ends, when the air shimmers, when the music fades, when the moonlight caresses the design and art, when your gaze is lost in the evening glow, then you know this is not a dream. This is Schwarzschmied. " In terms of cuisine, the hotel focuses on the simplicity of quality produce. The menu evolves with the seasons, driven by local ingredients and a particular focus on vegetarian and vegan dishes. The plates are clear, easy to understand, and uncluttered: each element finds its place. The connection to the land is also expressed in the hotel's biodynamic vineyard. The house wines, to be enjoyed on the terrace of La Fucina restaurant or at Bistro Luce, extend this direct and natural approach, without artifice. Wellness At Schwarzschmied, the spa embraces a holistic approach to care, where the essential takes precedence over the superfluous. Massages and beauty treatments are performed with natural products from Susanne Kaufmann, an eco-conscious Austrian brand renowned for its clean formulations and sleek design. The wellness experience combines dry and humid heat with a hammam, a bio sauna, and a Finnish sauna set outdoors, overlooking the landscape. Each space is designed to promote circulation, grounding, and deep relaxation. Outdoors, a swimming pool surrounded by a solarium with a pergola invites you to extend your break, reading, sunbathing, and overlooking the vineyards. Inside, a 10-meter pool extends the experience in a calm and luminous atmosphere. An energy field for mind, body and soul. In the hotel's interior garden, yoga takes on a sensitive and immersive dimension. Private instructors lead small-group sessions, where the practice is in tune with the rhythm of nature and sounds. Some classes take place to the deep sound of a cello, while others are accompanied by chanted mantras, for an experience that is both physical and meditative. At the same time, "awakened awareness" sessions—combining hot tea, conversation, and moments of silence—invite you to slow down even further. Here, the body stretches, the mind calms, and the space becomes a place of inner reconnection. In my luggage Our "must-have" selection for a stay at Schwarzschmied.

A sun-drenched house in the heart of the Spanish countryside, where the imperfection of handmade objects, the richness of organic textures, and the fleeting beauty of natural light are celebrated. For this summer lunch, she imagines a spontaneous setting, guided by the seasons, the colors of the earth, and the desire to slow down. Each element tells a story: that of a way of life which values ​​the living, the connection to the elements, and an aesthetic without artifice.  " Living in Spain, and more specifically near the sea, I'm surrounded by warm, natural tones, raw textures, and incredible natural light. These elements always appear on my table: raw linen, terracotta, sun-bleached wood, and simple wildflowers. There's a relaxed elegance to the Spanish landscape that I try to capture .

  • KER

    KER is a contemporary furniture collection inspired by the Atlantic. Between land and sea, between taut lines and organic curves, raw wood and natural rope, KER reflects a deep attachment to noble materials and craftsmanship. Designed to last, conceived to last for generations, this collection unites contemporary design and traditional craftsmanship. The Story From his childhood in Brittany, near Brest, Grégoire de Lafforest retained in his memory the images of the shipyard, the smells of wood, pine tar, and the surf on the beach at the foot of the family home. This maritime universe, its raw materials, its functional forms, and its powerful fragrances shaped his vocation as a designer. Later, during his studies at Penninghen, he met Jérémie du Chaffaut, founder of Midi. From this friendship matured a shared vision: to restore meaning to design, promote local craftsmanship, work with living materials, and draw precise lines. From this encounter, KER was born, offering a contemporary look at the Atlantic universe. Kador Vrec'h armchair The know-how Breton heritage is evident throughout this collection. In the past, local furniture was protected from moisture by a layer of pine tar, giving it its deep, dark hue. KER has adopted this ancient technique to patinate its wood and extend the connection between the object and its environment. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, KER creations endure over time: they develop a patina, can be repaired, and passed down. Each piece embodies the strength of a region and the beauty of a living, raw, and timeless material. To bring KER to life, Grégoire de Lafforest and Jérémie du Chaffaut went straight to the source: the ancestral know-how of the West. From meetings to workshops, they crisscrossed Brittany and its surroundings, guided by the desire to highlight a living heritage: that of foresters, sailors, and shipwrights. From this immersion was born the obviousness of the materials—chestnut, rope, sandstone, slate—raw and sensitive reflections of the Atlantic landscapes. Each material comes from 100% French resources, worked largely in Brittany, to anchor the collection in a local, sustainable, and activist approach. Kador Vrec'h armchair   " Natural, raw materials that capture the essence of Atlantic landscapes. A 100% French resource, processed primarily in Brittany, for an unequivocally sustainable and activist approach. " Grégoire de Lafforest, co-founder. Skabell stool Tan table lamp The collection includes seating pieces —armchairs, chairs, stools— dining tables and coffee tables, as well as lighting and everyday objects —vases and plates. It can be seen in the brand's showroom in Boulogne-Billancourt near Paris, and is available exclusively online on the brand's website. Ker ↳ ker I Instagram @ ker_maisoniodee picture credit © ker
