˝Simple silhouettes,˝ fashion´s favorite aphorism is spread like
peanut butter and jelly and clings to the insatiable palate of
the front row. It is a descriptive that slides into magnificent
gowns and straps on deconstructed downtown gear, without
missing a beat. And to borrow the phrase from those who
really know, the U Chair from SPI Design fits rather perfectly.
For their interior design firm, Sarah Shetter and Alison Palevsky
deftly reshape the modernism of incubated gloss with a
philosophy and a furniture collection that is understated,
looser, and sculpted with a thoughtfulness of form. This
wonderful chair recalls a vintage piece found sunning it up
in Palm Springs, and now models a sweep of alder wood in
black lacquer and voluptuous curves that are very much the
real thing. To order, 310 396 1020 spi-design.com
A month´s worth of good intensions behind us, and all that steely
determination softens like a gold-wrapped, gourmet cheese ball. Time
for self-reflection. The spiritualist will float in a luxurious bath to replenish
the soul, while vanity simply enjoys the sensation of being weightless.
This spectacular beech wood artisan soaking tub is one of the many
pleasures that await in the suites of Estancia Vik Jose Ignacio, an
otherworldly spa and retreat in Uruguay with astounding views and
all the lustrous amenities to crown it a private haven. Crafted by local
hands, these beautiful tubs are available for the first time to clients as
one-of-a-kind pieces, and may even temporarily wash away the sins
of a generous, buttered past. To inquire, 212 505 8200 estanciavik.com
