Costa Rican artist @allegrapacheco embraces a playful spirit in both her life and art. Whether she’s directing her debut film, painting, boxing, or exploring a new medium, Allegra’s creations are fueled by curiosity.
Her ‘Blood Sugar’ series was recently exhibited at LA’s @craigkrullgallery, and her documentary @salarymanfilm is now available on Apple TV, Google Play, and Amazon.

Thomas and Yves Raschle of @inchfurniture have long championed an “eco-intelligence” in design.
When they looked for acoustic insulation on the banks of Basel’s Rhine River, they thought of @impactacoustic and reached out asking for leftover sound-absorbing materials they could use. This small interaction sparked a collaboration that culminated in the INCH Wall.
From their early days in design to how they set new standards for creatively using post-consumer waste, Thomas and Yves took us through their approach to circular design. Read the interview at the link-in-bio.

We love a space with modern and dark decor, huge bookshelves, and a New-York inspired Berlin. This apartment, not so far away from us in Mitte, combines classic contemporary Berlin interior design with Wilheminian architectural elements.

Come on a walk-through of the Townhouse project, a seven-floored residence in Berlin, Mitte designed by Armand and Almut, founders of @gruentuchernst Architects. The Townhouse was designed with the idea of balancing liberty, openness, and coziness. The openness of the Townhouse is underscored by its complete lack of doors—everything is expansive and accessible, with a large and central staircase.
This piece was produced in collaboration with @engelvoelkersberlinresidential as part of our project “FF Homes”.

Recently, we were invited to co-host an aperitivo at the @bocci apartment in Milan with good friends, local contributors, former magazine guests like @irisroth and @massimo_most, our dear friend @mastockett, and other steadfast supporters throughout the years. It was an evening filled with engaging conversations, Milanese snacks, and drinks. With our digital publishing at the forefront, we always appreciate the opportunity to connect in person with our local communities and friends in different cities. Our partnership with @Bocci began in 2016, marked by selected light installations and gatherings in our Berlin @friendsspaces. A heartfelt thank you to @johannesschoen, @byronamanatidis, and @bocci for inviting us to Milan and this beautiful location.

Save the date: our Friends Apartment (@friendsspaces) is transforming into a gallery once again from September 30th. Come and visit an exhibition of seven outstanding and influential artist’s work. “Moving in”, organized by our dear friends at @supersupermarkt, features paintings and sculptures from Karla Black, Zoë Carlon, Tatjana Danneberg, Karlo Kacharava, Nika Kutateladze, Paloma Varga Weisz, and Ian Waelder. It’s an exploration of autobiographical narratives and the domestic space.
Come and celebrate the opening with us. We’ll be exploring the art and grabbing a drink. If you can’t make the opening, no stress—the doors will be kept open for a month and we’ll be hosting events alongside them.
See you soon!

If you stopped by @impactacoustic’s design lab on any given day, according to Head of Design and Innovation Coco Lombarte, there is always the possibility of surprise. The sustainable design lab turns plastic bottles into high-quality acoustic solutions that enhance wellbeing, and the team constantly strives to innovate, challenge, and inspire.
As part of our three-part editorial series with @impactacoustic, we spoke with Coco about his full-circularity approach to design and the potential in the future of sustainable design.
