In a world dominated by fleeting trends and disposable clothing, the idea of building a wardrobe that lasts feels both radical and refreshing. The constant cycle of buying, wearing, and discarding has left many of us with closets full of clothes but nothing meaningful to wear. Fortunately, a shift is underway. Consumers are moving away from fast fashion and rediscovering the value of durable, well-made garments. It seems that durability is back in fashion, and with it comes a more thoughtful approach to style. Continue reading The Art of Durability: Fashion That Lasts→
I was saying to a friend recently that one of the unintended consequences of AI is how convincingly it can generate objects that look completely real but don’t actually exist. For someone like me, who regularly features extraordinary furniture and design objects, that presents an interesting challenge. When you see a tiger-shaped sofa or a fantastical sculptural table online, it’s becoming harder to know whether you’re looking at a genuine work of design or a clever digital fabrication. I want readers to know that every piece I feature in my Eye On Design column is something I’ve seen in person and photographed myself. Even so, I understand that in today’s world a healthy dose of skepticism is only natural. So let me assure you: this remarkable sculptural stool by Sebastian Errazuriz is absolutely real.
It is what it is: a clean-lined black stool topped with a crisp white seat. But a second look reveals its delightful secret. Suspended upside down beneath the seat is the head of a classical Greek or Roman sculpture, perfectly framed by the stool’s four legs. Suddenly, what seemed like a functional object transforms into something playful, surreal, and thought-provoking.

When you’re planning a home makeover, it’s easy to get caught up in picking paint colours, furniture, and new decorations. But really, the surface right under your feet might be the most important part of any room. Your floor is like the base of your home’s look, setting the mood for every other design choice you make.
Beyond the Walls: Foundation of Style
Think of your floor as the fifth wall in your room, a big, continuous surface that grounds the whole space. While decorative bits like wall art make a difference and definitely add personality, the floor really sets the basic vibe. A good renovation often starts from the ground up, and choosing the right flooring is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. The right flooring not only defines the style of a space but also improves durability, comfort, and practicality, helping create a home that suits both your design preferences and everyday lifestyle.

Doors play an important role in interior design. Beyond providing privacy and security, they influence a home’s style, lighting, flow, and overall atmosphere. From materials and finishes to hardware and placement, every detail contributes to the way a space looks and functions.
Doors as Design Elements
Consider doors as architectural features that can complement or enhance your home’s overall style. They can either blend into the background or become a focal point within the space. As both functional and decorative features, doors contribute to a cohesive interior. A brightly painted door, for example, can add a fun splash of color to a plain hallway. A sleek, simple door can make a modern look even stronger. The right door style can enhance the character of a room while complementing the overall design.

The way we think about fashion is changing these days. For a long time, it was all about trends, how much things cost, and big brand names. But now, more and more shoppers are asking bigger questions: Where did this item really come from? What’s it actually made of? And what kind of impact did it have on our planet? This shift shows us that eco-conscious fashion is on the rise, proving that style and sustainability can totally go together. It’s about putting together a wardrobe that not only looks great but also feels good to wear, knowing it matches up with what you believe in.
