A famous beauty spot since the 19th century, the glacial fjord Carlingford Lough cuts deep into the eastern coast of Ireland midway between Belfast and Dublin, marking the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic. At its inner end is the village of Omeath. Here, overlooking the lough and the cloud-swept Mountains of Mourne, is what looks like a simple woodplanked fisherman’s shack. Step inside, though, and you enter an entirely different world. For this is the home away from home of Ciaran McGuigan, creative director of Irish furniture company Orior, and his American wife, Logann. “I just love the space here,” McGuigan says, “the energy you get from walking out of the door, being right on the waterfront and seeing that amazing view.” It’s a view he grew up…

“Our style is just raw micaceous clay,” muses the creative polymath Johnny Santiago Adao Ortiz-Concha, describing the ceramic traditions of Taos Pueblo, New Mexico, the Native American community and UNESCO World Heritage Site where he grew up. (He now lives and works in the area.) “The material is so beautiful it doesn’t need anything else.” He digs up that clay not far from his home, hand-shaping it into tableware that he fires using cedar from nearby mountains, usually during a full moon. The results are oven-cured with elk marrow and beeswax. “Everything is rooted in this place,” notes Ortiz-Concha, who is also a chef, having honed his skills at notable restaurants like Saison in San Francisco and Alinea in Chicago. (He is pictured at his new studio with recent ceramic…

★ EXCLUSIVE VIDEO DEVIN BOOKER AT HOME, ARCHDIGEST.COM. Within the hard boundaries of a basketball court, NBA wunderkind Devin Booker has crafted a style with all the finesse of a butterfly. The 25-year-old Phoenix Suns guard has a fluidity, an impossibly fast series of movements, that would have made Diaghilev proud. When he shoots, the basketball seems to cooperate—as balls seem to do for all great players—before the parabola is completed through the basket (in 2018, Booker was crowned the NBA Three-Point Contest champion). But while the public is used to seeing him gliding across a basketball court, Booker’s domestic digs perhaps demonstrate an even keener grasp of physical detail and the movement of bodies in space. “I consider myself fortunate to be surrounded by people with great style,” Booker…

“It was a fun house to showcase finds from around the world that remind me of the tropics.”—Aerin Lauder “There really isn’t that much furniture. The house has a very sparse feel, which is what we wanted.”…

In Audrey Large’s Rotterdam studio, a fleet of small 3D printers slowly bring her ideas from digital files into physical reality. “It’s all about how matter is fluid,” says the French designer of her practice, in which drawings on paper, images “sculpted” in animation programs, and tangible objects exist in no hierarchical order. “3D printing is just a means to bring the files I have—the images I produce—into our material realm.” Large began exploring these ideas in her 2017 graduation project at Design Academy Eindhoven. But it was her solo exhibition last September at Milan’s Nilufar Gallery that got the design world’s attention. Titled “Some Vibrant Things,” the ambitious array of tables, shelves, bowls, vases, and even a functioning fountain was printed in a shimmering thermoplastic polyester called PLA and…

“The kids were much younger when I embarked on this project, and I wasn’t married to Brad, so I was ideating for a future self that didn’t exist yet.”—Gwyneth Paltrow Star power comes in many forms at AD, and this issue celebrates mega-talents from many fields of expertise—entertainment, sports, architecture, interior design. Hollywood heavyweight Gwyneth Paltrow spent six years building her dream house from the ground up in beautiful Montecito (“our sweet gem of an escape”). Collaborating with an AD100 dream team of Roman and Williams and Romanek Design Studio, Paltrow successfully transformed a teardown on a generous lot (“It was like Grey Gardens. There were wild animals living there and swarms of bugs, but I fell in love with the land and the views,” she says) into her specific…

Kompa means ‘together,’” explains designer Peter Mabeo, who is based in Gaborone, Botswana. To demonstrate that holistic idea, Mabeo interlocks his fingers, creating a circle with his hands. The word, which Mabeo learned from an artisan in the nearby village of Hukuntsi, is the name of his newest furniture collection: 10 pieces made in collaboration with Italian fashion brand Fendi and unveiled at Design Miami. “I wanted to bring together different elements, different materials, and different people,” says Mabeo. Since founding his namesake studio in 1997, he has been teaming up with a range of Botswana-based makers, among them master woodworkers, potters, basket weavers, and metalsmiths. For Kompa, he canvassed the country by car, tapping those same experts to test the limits of their mediums. In the community of Mmankgodi,…

In the 1960s, avant-garde artist couple Christo and Jeanne-Claude began wrapping monuments around the world in fabric and rope. A sculpture in the garden of Rome’s Villa Borghese (1963). A gilded statue on Paris’s Place du Trocadéro (1964). The monument to Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan’s Piazza del Duomo (1970). The arresting visuals gave Italian architect Cini Boeri an idea: Why not wrap a sofa? (Christo and Jeanne-Claude had wrapped furniture too, for what it’s worth, but they didn’t exactly prioritize function.) Boeri did. In 1968 she began experimenting with simple molded-polyurethane forms that could be encased in removable quilts, almost like her children’s sleeping bags. The so-called Strips series, a name derived from that easy-to-undress design, was practical as ever: “The shell can be slipped off, washed, changed, put…

I love backwards engineering,” explains Bari Ziperstein, the Los Angeles–based artist. “I’m constantly looking at industrial processes and structures, and how things are made.” Eyeing a strange building or the pylons that hold up the freeway, she’ll wonder: Could I do that in clay? She’s applied the same working-in-reverse spirit to her business. Ziperstein is, first and foremost, a fine artist. But in 2008 she started making brutalist planters, furniture, and tableware as a side hustle under the name BZippy. It took off, allowing her to resume her art practice. Since 2019, she has also created works of collectible design for The Future Perfect. It has all now come together under one roof at her new studio and showroom, where she and her team can fabricate the works (hand-built using…

“It’s a fantasy island,” Aerin Lauder observes. “You feel like you’re far, far away.” Imagine a remote tropical Eden where days are whiled away on fishing boats and surfboards, wildlife outnumbers humanity, and the nearest town is accessed via a bumpy dirt road and a puddle jumper. It’s not exactly the first place one might picture Aerin Lauder, the ultra-chic, ultracosmopolitan doyenne of her namesake lifestyle brand and scion of Estée Lauder. Which may explain why, even after her husband, financier Eric Zinterhofer, purchased a large plot of land on the Pacific coast of Panama and began an ambitious reforestation and building project there, nearly a decade unfolded before Lauder paid a visit. “It was always a boys’ trip,” she says of her husband’s annual pilgrimages to the Central American…
