Apple’s first store in Malaysia combines architecture, interiors and hardscape into a floating edifice of precision engineering. 
The three-storey store is located within KL’s upscale The Exchange TRX mall. The ultra-clear monolithic façade is crowned by a cloister vault of bespoke glass and sleek horizontal fins. According to GDP architects, the distinctive roof is reminiscent of a floating lantern which layers and diffuses light during the day and glows at night as the interior illuminates the whole structure.

One of the protagonists of Minotti’s 2024 Indoor Collection is the Yves modular seating systems, which stand out for their original shapes and distinctive features, evoking the timeless spirit of the 1970s.

The Yves seating system, crafted by Milan-based designer Hannes Peer, features a design that balances a mix of clean lines and flowing curves, allowing for versatile configurations that make it ideal for creating intimate spaces or more dynamic, open layouts. Thoughtfully layered, organic forms feel tailored yet relaxed, and what makes it especially unique are the asymmetrical seams and aluminium feet positioned in tune with these lines, giving a sense of rhythm and movement.

For smaller settings or compact spaces, the Yves Sofà version introduces a cosier depth, drawing elements from chaise lounges, couches, and ottomans, with couture detailing presented with modern sensibility. Each of these variations can be mixed and matched to create a personalised living space.

Up-and-coming Korean-American artist Eun Vivian Lee’s latest solo exhibition, A Silent Diary, is showcased from now until 23 November at BOL Gallery () - an art gallery committed to showcasing outstanding Korean art to art collectors who are interested in the Korean art market.

This evocative collection explores themes of resilience, femininity, and emotional reflection through Lee’s masterful use of hanji, traditional Korean paper. The exhibition marks a significant evolution in Lee’s work, as she embraces organic materials that connect her to her Korean heritage.

Having painted on industrial watercolor paper for many years, Lee’s shift to hanji was a natural progression in her artistic journey. Drawn to the physical and emotional depth of hanji, which has been a part of Korean life for centuries, Lee describes the material as embodying a delicate yet resilient femininity.
