Dora, who has a background in architecture, built up experience at companies like Studio Ko and Agence Jacques Garcia before founding her own architecture and scenography agency in Paris. In her own work she dials into her client’s personality while also pulling the outside environment indoors. For this project it means honoring the characteristics of Haussmannian architecture, which has defined Paris’ charming personality since the 19th century.

The design team at Anderson Tuftex is constantly thinking ahead to understand how we live and create carpets and hard wood surfaces that match our lifestyles and aspirations. Many of the trends they are observing now lead them to ask: “How do you leave a human fingerprint in large-scale manufacturing?” ⁠
⁠
For Anderson Tuftex, the answer lies in a warm, soft yet texturally complex loop construction, or in a precise herringbone pattern has a leafy organicism to it. With these considered details, Anderson Tuftex aims to deliver the feeling of being home from the moment you see the surfaces. ⁠

Designer Lee Broom is known for releasing his work in theatrical shows, but his new NYC showroom / apartment is much more low-key. When clients, dealers, and colleagues visit, they are able to see the new collections and pieces exactly as Lee envisions them being used in a residential space.⁠
⁠
Lee does a lot of designing from his New York study, which he designed to reflect his London space. “I figured that if I was to design successfully in a completely different city to where I’m used to designing, I should try and reenact the space." See how he replicated the same objects, artwork, and lighting as in London and visit the showroom: https://sixtysixmag.com/lee-broom/

Actor Carmela Zumbado stopped by our studio to discuss her path into acting and wear some of our favorite new looks. Although Carmela doesn’t consider herself a big shopper, she considers herself “fashion curious,” and admits she isn’t always up on new trends. When she and her sisters, Marisela and Gigi, were asked who they were wearing on their first red carpet, they replied with confidence, “Lulu and Katie” and strutted by. (Lulu and Katie are Marisela’s dogs.)⁠

You don’t often see “milk bars” anymore—a beloved typology in Australia that sometimes combines a corner store with a residence. Melbourne-based studio Kennedy Nolan Architects set out to emphasize the awning of the old milk bar in this design and take people directly into a grassy green and brown oasis in the middle of the property. ⁠
⁠
“We had strict restrictions from the local council to maintain the existing heritage building, further complicated by the surrounding boundary wall to three sides,” says Adriana Hanna, director of architecture at Kennedy Nolan. “We explored the opportunities within the courtyard by creating a geometric opening to the sky and the new obelisk chimney form that springs up over the boundary wall.”⁠

Work from home has unleashed new innovations for Ron Arad.

When Covid reared its head in early 2020, the world-renowned designer shuttered the main studio in Camden where he works with the rest of his team, and—like the rest of us—hunkered down behind his own four walls.

But even as the design industry ground to a halt, Ron kept working away in his home studio.

“I never thought it was going to be the space where I spend most of my time. It is remarkable what I can do from here,” he says. “There used to be times when I didn’t know what day it was; there was no difference between Fridays and the weekend.”

Sixtysix magazine Spring/Summer 2019 issue.

Sixtysix magazine is back with our sophomore print issue, delving further into “the craft of creativity” with living legends and emerging voices of the global design community. The nearly 200-page issue is available worldwide now. The Spring/Summer 2019 issue features in-depth conversations about process, inspiration, and work habits with a diverse spectrum of designers, architects, photographers, printmakers, and creative professionals from all over the world. We heard process and promotional tips from Australian illustrator Shanti Sparrow and New York City-based typographer Tobias Frere-Jones, explored the best furniture and decor of Salone del Mobile.Milano, and discovered why someone as busy as the legendary MARCEL WANDERS feels as though he never works at all. We rode to the edge of civilization on a Kawasaki USA and chewed over the evolving nature of design with Phillipe Starck at his office in France. On the cover is a photo from Space Utopia, by Paris-based photographer Vincent Fournier, who reflected on how Stanley Kubrick helps inspire his behind-the-scenes studies of space exploration. And among the objects and gear spotlighted are minimalist, Patricia Urquiola-designed bathroom accessories by LAUFEN Bathrooms and high-design, small-batch concrete faucets by Brizo Faucet. https://www.sixtysixmag.com/subscribe/
