January 2025 | DESIGN & INTERIORS a SENSORY JOURNEY in PARIS: Cosmos and Matter words Karine Monie photos Jérôme Galland, Mathilde Hiley If you need an excuse to visit Paris, here’s the perfect one: this temporary space, located in the heart of Paris in a striking Haussmann apartment adorned with elegant moldings and classic parquet floors, celebrates sustainable design in style. Through a curated selection of pieces by innovative designers, skilled artisans, and visionary artists, it merges aesthetics, wellness, and non-toxic materials. The installation, created by Cosmos and Matter—founded by the Sustainable Design Association in 2021 to promote virtuous practices in the design world—can be visited until February 16. “We believe the nature of the choices we make every day impacts not only our inner selves but also the state of the world at large,” says Marie-Cassandre Bultheel, co-founder of Cosmos and Matter. “We want to offer a new art of living that deeply draws on the knowledge and wisdom of our ancestors while also caring for the future.” “Living in a space is much more complex than a simple interaction with materials,” Marie-Cassandre continues. “It’s about a delicate and precious relationship with the Earth and the cosmos. This is why Cosmos and Matter presents a new proposition, one that can be understood through the sensitivity of our bodies, the power of our perceptions, and the depth of our emotions. For this reason, the installation can be visited barefoot”. How can we live differently within our interiors? This was the starting point for imagining the apartment, which features 10 scenes displayed in different rooms that create a sensory journey. Each area highlights a facet of the art of a more eco-friendly living, where the alchemy between traditions and modernity invites aesthetes, designers and art lovers to question themselves. In the apartment are a Botanic Bar, a Table of the Living, a Moon Lounge, a Sun Lounge and a “cosmic soundscape” room. “I wanted the curation to focus on designers, artisans, and artists who honor natural cycles and universal laws,” says Marie-Cassandre. “It’s about celebrating a form of luxury that respects not just the human soul but also the Earth.” The list of featured designers and artists includes: Alyssa Jos, Anna-Alexandra, Atelier Musset, Attraction Terrestre, Bazar d'Alger, BehaghelFoiny, Elisa Uberti, Hors Studio, Joanna Prunes, Jorg Koziol, Léa Laborie, Linda Pappa, Lucie Ponard, Manon Ledieu, Marie Simon Thomas, Marcela Paz Undurraga, Padmakshi, Pauline Effantin, Paysan Parfumeur, Sacha Parent, Shira Bio, and Tij. The materials chosen for the showcased pieces reflect the philosophy of Cosmos and Matter: reclaimed wood, natural textiles, pigments derived from earth, plant-based leathers obtained from dehydrated fruits and vegetables, and other living, natural, healthy materials (free from petrochemicals)—all selected for their low environmental impact. THE VISIONARY MINDS BEHIND COSMOS AND MATTER The creative force driving Cosmos and Matter comprises two trailblazing women: - Marie-Cassandre Bultheel: An artistic director and curator passionate about creating urban sanctuaries. Known for her conscious approach to design, she is also the co-founder of the Biennale Amour Vivant. - Hélène Aguilar: An entrepreneur, futurist, and exhibition curator with expertise in non-petrochemical materials innovation. She is the founder of the podcast Where is the Beauty? and a co-founder of the Biennale Amour Vivant. Together, they have crafted a concept that seamlessly combines sustainability, artistry, and mindful living. LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE This Parisian installation marks just the beginning. Starting in 2025, Cosmos and Matter aims to expand into other cities worldwide, using ephemeral spaces to challenge our perceptions of sustainability and inspire new design practices.

June 2024 | TRAVEL english below İtalyan Alp yazının cazibesi words Laura Cottrell photos Courtesy of Grand Savoia Cortina / Francesca Polizzi D olomitler’in kalbinde yer alan Cortina d'Ampezzo yaz aylarında bambaşka bir kimliğe bürünüp muhteşem dağları, vadileri ve ormanlarıyla trekking sevenler, bisikletçiler, dağcılar ve macera arayanlar için bir cennete dönüşüyor. “Dolomitlerin Kraliçesi” olarak da anılan Cortina d'Ampezzo’nun en gözde oteli Grand Hotel Savoia Cortina d'Ampezzo da Alp yazı için kapılarını 12 hazirandan itibaren yeniden açıyor. Bu beş yıldızlı ikonik otel, UNESCO Dünya Mirası Listesi'nde yer alan görkemli Dolomitler'in yüksekliklerine birkaç dakika mesafede. 1912'de inşa edilen Grand Hotel Savoia’nın popülerliği 1956 yılında zirveye ulaşıyor. Çünkü otel o yıl Sophia Loren'in açılışını yaptığı Kış Olimpiyatları’na ev sahipliği yapıyor. Otelin Dolomitler’e bakan büyüleyici mekanı Terrazza 1224 hazirandan ekime kadar canlı müzik seansları, caz akşamları, DJ’li kokteyl saatlerine ev sahipliği yapıyor. Ayrıca Cortina genelinde birçok yaz etkinliği düzenleniyor. Kaçırılmaması gereken yaz etkinliklerinden biri de 18-21 Temmuz tarihleri arasında gerçekleşecek ACI Sport'un İtalya Grand Touring Otomobil Şampiyonası'nın üçüncü etabı olan Coppa d'Oro Delle Dolomiti. Üç gün sürecek yarışa10 farklı ülkeden 70'in üzerinde ekip katılacak. DOLOMITLER’DE BAŞKA NELER YAPILIR? 1. Geleneksel bir dağ kulübesinde dinlenin: Dolomitler'in her yerinde bulunan bu kulübeler, başlangıçta dağcılar için gece barınakları olarak hizmet vermiş. Yıllar geçtikçe bu kulübeler konforlu dağ sığınakları haline gelmiş. Hatta bazılarında sıcak küvet ve saunalar da bulunuyor. Çoğu dağ kulübesine yürüyerek, bazılarına ise jeep transferiyle ulaşılıyor. Aynı zamanda bu kulübeler yaz aylarında dağ yürüyüşünün ardından öğle yemeği için ideal bir mola noktası. 2. Yürüyüş yapın: Dolomitler’in güzelliğini deneyimlemenin en iyi yolu yürüyüşe çıkmak. Cortina d'Ampezzo, her seviyeden yürüyüşçünün ihtiyaçlarını karşılayacak 400 kilometreden fazla tabelalı patikaya sahip. Yürüyüş rotaları boyunca Torri ve Lagazuoi 5 bölgelerindeki en büyük açık Dünya Savaşı Müzesi, Dolomit Yolu ve Fosses Gölü gibi kaçırılmaması gereken pek çok nokta bulunuyor. 3. Dağ bisikletini deneyin Kasabayı çevreleyen birçok dolambaçlı patika ve yeşil vadide heyecan verici bir dağ bisikleti gezintisine çıkın. Bu gezintiye çıkmadan önce mutlaka Grand Hotel Savoia Cortina d'Ampezzo’nun lokal rehberlernei ve konsiyerjine rotalar konusunda danışın 4. Kaya tırmanışı yapın Sarp kayalar ve sonsuz mavi gökyüzü arasında tırmanışın olağanüstü özgürlüğü vardır! Tırmanış meraklıları için Dolomitler'de efsanevi rotalar var. Bunlardan biri de Via Ferrata. Birinci Dünya Savaşı sırasında askerlerin dağdaki önemli bir stratejik karakola ulaşması için oluşturulan Via Ferrata'da tarihin ayak izlerini takip edin. The allure of the Italian alpine summer C ortina d'Ampezzo, in the heart of the Dolomites, takes on a completely different identity during the summer months, transforming itself into a paradise for trekkers, cyclists, climbers and adventure seekers, with its magnificent mountains, valleys and forests. Cortina d'Ampezzo's most popular hotel, the Grand Hotel Savoia Cortina d'Ampezzo, also known as the "Queen of the Dolomites", reopens its doors for the Alpine Summer from June 12th. This iconic five-star hotel is located just minutes from the heights of the majestic Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in 1912, the Grand Hotel Savoia's popularity peaked in 1956. In that year the hotel hosted the Olympic Winter Games, opened by Sophia Loren. Terrazza 1224, the hotel's charming venue overlooking the Dolomites, hosts live music sessions, jazz evenings and cocktail hours with DJs from June to October. There are also many summer events organized throughout Cortina. One of the summer events not to be missed is the Coppa d'Oro Delle Dolomiti, the third round of the ACI Sport Italian Grand Touring Car Championship, which takes place from July 18 to 21. Over 70 teams from 10 different countries will take part in the three-day race. WHAT ELSE TO DO IN THE DOLOMITES? 1. Relax in a traditional alpine hut: These huts, which can be found all over the Dolomites, were originally used as shelters for mountaineers. Over the years they have become comfortable mountain refuges. Some even have hot tubs and saunas. Most of the huts can be reached on foot, while others can be reached by jeep transfer. These huts are also a great place to stop for lunch after a hike in the summer. 2. Hiking: Hiking is the best way to discover the beauty of the Dolomites. Cortina d'Ampezzo has more than 400 km of marked trails to satisfy the needs of hikers of all levels. There are many places to visit along the way, such as the largest open-air museum of the Second World War in the Torri and Lagazuoi 5 area, the Dolomite Path and Lake Fosses. 3. Try mountain biking: Take an exciting mountain bike ride through the many winding trails and green valleys that surround the city. Be sure to ask the local guides and the concierge at the Grand Hotel Savoia Cortina d'Ampezzo about the routes before you set off. 4. Go rock climbing: Between steep cliffs and endless blue skies, climbing is an extraordinary freedom! The Dolomites offer legendary routes for climbing enthusiasts. One of them is the Via Ferrata. Follow in the footsteps of history on the Via Ferrata, built during the First World War to allow soldiers to reach an important strategic outpost on the mountain.

January 2025 | People CHARLIE FOSTER & TOMAS LIDAKEVICIUS Redefining Seasonal Dining in London words Onur Baştürk London’s historic Borough Market is foodie heaven – beloved by locals, visitors and renowned chefs searching for unusual seasonal and international ingredients - and uniquely delicious dining experiences. A favourite stopping off point is Turnips - one of the very few good things to come out of the pandemic. Turnips is a restaurant which focuses on celebrating the finest quality vegetables. And it is owned by acclaimed Lithuanian chef, Tomas Lidakevicius, and fifth-generation London greengrocer, Charlie Foster. We asked Chef Tomas how this unlikely partnership came about.... The beginning of Turnips is based on a conversation you had with Charlie Foster during the pandemic. Can you tell us about your meeting with Foster and the story of how Turnips came to be? Charlie and I first connected when I was working at London’s City Social restaurant. He would regularly send me samples from Turnips – his family’s fruit and vegetable stall in Borough Market. He supplied seasonal produce to Michelin-starred restaurants. And the quality of Charlie’s ingredients helped me to understand that his potatoes weren't just any potatoes - all the fruit and vegetables on his stall was exceptional. We realized that we wanted to work together during the pandemic in 2020, Borough Market was really quiet. And the restaurants that Charlie had been supplying were forced to close temporarily. He and his team started putting bags of produce together for health workers - and they needed volunteers. I offered to help and we started talking about the future. Towards the end of the pandemic, Charlie contacted me with the idea of a starting a Turnips restaurant. And two weeks later, Turnips was born! We started off doing pop-ups and community events out of a shipping container... Tell us why the menu at Turnips is 80 percent vegetables and 20 percent protein? Our restaurant concept comes from the produce on the Turnips stall, so our focus is always on world-class, hyper-seasonal and diverse vegetables. The menu showcases this seasonality and allows us to be super creative. We think about the different ways we can prepare the elements on the plate, and whether sauces and proteins are needed. We add protein to complement and enhance our vegetables: they will always be the star of the show. You use seasonal vegetables. So, does the menu at Turnips keep changing? The menu is constantly evolving: we don't like feature the same dish for too long. We have to keep up with the seasons, slower in winter and faster with the arrival of spring. You can see this in the menu: we have to develop our ideas and create something new almost every day. We start using products at the very beginning of their season, when they are young and fresh. Then we can extend the seasons by preserving them through drying, pickling and fermenting. An example of this is the dish we have right now: Iberico pork, prepared with Pickled Asparagus 2022 – which has kept a great crunch! What is your favorite seasonal vegetable? And why? We have so much variety, from the exotic to the everyday, that I can’t pick a favorite. I know I am very lucky to have such wide access – it’s the dream of many chefs. I love to cook with mushrooms and onions. There are so many varieties of each. For example, our dish of Cevennes onion with Parmesan sauce, is like no other onion. The flavor is SO intense. FOOD WAS A BIG PART OF MY CHILDHOOD You spent your childhood in the kitchen with your mother and grandmother. Is there a Lithuanian dish from those days that you have adapted for the Turnips menu? Food was a big part of my childhood. My mother is a seamstress, so she worked from home and cooked for us every day. When she couldn't, my grandmother would take over: she would take me to the market to buy fruits and vegetables. She then taught me how to preserve, pickle and ferment. These techniques help me to experiment with new ingredients at Turnips: they play an important role in how we deal with surplus produce. These lessons from my childhood help me to show that surplus isn't bad food: it's the result of over-ordering, or maybe it's just produce that doesn't look right. More and more people are starting to realize that you can do a lot with surplus, and sometimes, it can even taste better! They just need to learn more about seasonality - and all the different techniques that exist for cooking and preparing. When you joined the renowned Galvin at Windows team, you said that: ‘Fine dining changed my life.’ How has Turnips changed your life? The adrenaline and discipline of Michelin-starred kitchens were really important experiences for my career. At Turnips, I have access to an incredible variety of produce – which is every chef's dream. And the restaurant has given me the freedom to be very creative. One of the best parts of service is seeing the big smiles on people's faces as they enjoy the food we’ve prepared for them.

January 2025 | DESIGN & INTERIORS TR BELOW a NEW TAKE on LOG CABIN LIVING words Alp Tekin photos İbrahim Özbunar Located in Camlıca, Istanbul, the Camlıca House is a log cabin project designed by XYZ Design. It sits in a secluded area surrounded by natural landscaping elements, where the homeowners previously lived in a mansion. Their first request to the XYZ Design team was clear: this living space, meant to be used year-round, should steer away from the typical winter cabin concept. The design team responded by creating an ambiance entirely independent of traditional log cabin aesthetics. At the heart of the project lies a log house by Honka, a Finland-based brand. The cabin rests atop a reinforced concrete basement. The logs, made from premium Finnish pine, were shipped in pieces from Finland and assembled on-site. These pine logs also shape the architectural language of the house. Instead of creating enclosed spaces on the ground floor, the design connects various areas with an open and fluid layout. The dining area, living room, lounge, and winter garden are separated by sliding and folding systems, allowing for seamless transitions between spaces when desired. The home’s color palette revolves around shades of beige and brown, harmonizing beautifully with the natural textures of stone and wood. Details in brass and vibrant colors from the homeowners’ art collection add a striking contrast. In contrast, the basement level takes on a more industrial and raw aesthetic, distinct from the upper floors. It features microtopping floors, wooden wall cladding, and furniture in unconventional forms. İstanbul, Çamlıca’da bulunan ve XYZ Design tarafından tasarlanan Çamlıca Evi isimli bu kütük ev projesi, ev sahiplerinin daha önce yaşadığı köşkün de yer aldığı doğal peyzaj unsurlarıyla çevrili izole bir alanda konumlanıyor. Ev sahiplerinin XYZ Design ekibinden ilk isteği şu olmuş: Her mevsim kullanılacak bu yaşam alanının kışlık ev konseptinden uzak olması. Dolayısıyla tasarım ekibi kütük ev atmosferinden bağımsız bir ambiyans yaratmış. Projenin odağında Finlandiya merkezli Honka markasının kütük evi var. Kütük ev, betonarme bodrum kat üzerinde yükseliyor. Özel Fin çamından üretilmiş kütükler demonte olarak Finlandiya’dan getirilmiş ve arazide kurulmuş. Fin çamından üretilen kütük strüktür aynı zamanda evin tasarım dilini oluşturuyor. Evin zemin katında kapalı mekanlar yaratmak yerine birbirine açılan, ilişkileri olan mekanlar kurgulanmış. Yemek alanı, oturma alanı, dinlenme alanı ve kış bahçesi, kayar-katlanır sistemlerle ayrılıyor. İstenildiğinde bu mekanlar arasında akışkan bir devamlılık sağlanabiliyor. Evdeki renk paleti ise bej ve kahve skalası arasında. Renkler doğal taş ve ahşabın özgün dokularıyla bütünleşiyor. Detaylar ise pirinç malzeme ve sanat koleksiyonundaki canlı renklerle buluşuyor. Bodrum kat ise üst katlardan bağımsız olarak daha endüstriyel ve ham detaylara sahip. Zeminde microtopping malzeme, duvar yüzeylerde ahşap kaplama ve mobilya seçimlerinde farklı formlar tercih edilmiş.

January 2025 | DESIGN & INTERIORS BLENDING CULTURES and LANDSCAPES words Karine Monte photos Ema Peter Photography Nestled in the serene Dunbar area of Vancouver, British Columbia, this stunning residence is a masterclass in merging architectural innovation with cultural heritage. Designed by BLA Design Group, the home reimagines contemporary living by intertwining the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest with traditional Asian design influences. The result? A space that tells a story of family, heritage, and a deep connection to nature. WEST COAST MODERN MEETS EASTERN ELEGANCE The residence is a quintessential example of West Coast modern architecture—characterized by its use of natural materials, clean lines, and forms that seamlessly integrate with the lush forests and dynamic skies of the Pacific Northwest. Earthy tones of brown, beige, and gray dominate the design, paying homage to Vancouver’s misty weather and verdant landscapes. What truly sets this home apart is its infusion of Eastern design principles. As Jerry Liu, co-principal of BLA Design Group, explains: “By reintroducing memories from the past into the present, the house combines West Coast modern architecture with traditional Chinese design details in a personalized way that enhances the owners’ daily comfort and experience.” ARCHITECTURAL HIGHLIGHTS From the first approach, the home’s connection to nature is immediately apparent. Standing seam metal cladding protects the structure from Vancouver’s frequent rain, while naturally stained cedar siding softens its modern lines, anchoring it to its wooded surroundings. A striking gable roof extends over the main level, creating a cantilevered cover for the recessed entry patio—a welcoming gesture for residents and guests alike. At the back of the home, large sliding glass doors blur the line between indoors and outdoors, seamlessly connecting the living and dining areas to the patio and garden. HONORING HERITAGE THROUGH DESIGN The homeowners, a Chinese-Canadian family originally from Hangzhou, China, worked closely with the design team to ensure the home reflected their cultural roots. This collaboration is evident in the thoughtful integration of traditional Chinese elements throughout the design. In the entryway, slatted wood panels frame a custom topographic sculpture of Hangzhou, setting the tone for the home’s harmonious blend of past and present. Elsewhere, wood slatted walls—reminiscent of traditional Chinese ping fengroom dividers—create subtle separations while allowing light to flow freely. Furnishings and décor sourced directly from China further enrich the home’s authenticity. From a custom tea table to carefully selected dining pieces, each item carries cultural significance, creating an environment that feels both personal and timeless. A PALETTE INSPIRED BY NATURE The design’s connection to the Pacific Northwest is reinforced through its carefully chosen materials and color palette. Warm, earthy tones mirror Vancouver’s moody skies and lush forests. Natural wood cladding adds warmth and texture, while sleek metal finishes provide durability and modernity. Inside, matte finishes evoke understated elegance and sophistication.
