Dora Alzamora Good on the Stoic Philosophy of Clay

Ava — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 11:22:02 +0000

In the sun-drenched quiet of her Mallorca studio, Dora Alzamora Good practices a form of creative resistance. Her work – sculptural, totemic, and deeply rooted in the raw textures of the Mediterranean –occupies a space where ancient craftsmanship meets a modern, minimalist soul. But as Dora reveals in our candid conversation, the “monastic” purity of

Reclaiming the Heart of Curation with Lukas Feireiss

Ava — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 20:07:48 +0000

To the public, Lukas Feireiss is a master of the “curatorial gaze”—a bridge-builder between architecture, art, and spatial theory who translates complex ideas for the world’s most prestigious stages. But to understand the man behind the lectures at UdK, the high-octane exhibition openings, and his Reiki practice, one must look toward the quieter “ways of

In the terraced hills of Deià, overlooking the vast blue of the Mediterranean, we visited British designer Matthew Williamson at home — and in the studio where his world of colour continues to unfold.

In the sun-drenched sanctuary of her home in Mallorca, multidisciplinary artist Ida Johansson has carved out a creative life defined by movement and mindful connection. Ida’s work is less about a single medium and more about a holistic philosophy — one that balances the tactile heritage of Swedish textiles with the Mediterranean’s grounding energy. In

Architect Gustav Düsing on Comfort, Sound & Imperfection

Caroline Sarah Henne — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 21:39:50 +0000

To step into the world of Gustav Düsing is to enter a space where architecture behaves more like music than masonry. Whether he is freezing fabric into a structural “tent” or designing award-winning university hubs, Gustav’s work is a study in “productive friction” — the delicate point where radical transparency meets the human need for

Sports, Sound, and Greek Coffee: The World of Yorgo Tloupas

Caroline Sarah Henne — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 22:05:41 +0000

For Yorgo Tloupas, design is not a static profession but a high-velocity system of living. As one of the most influential Art Directors of his generation, Tloupas has spent decades defining the visual vernacular of luxury, culture, and mobility through bold typography and a relentless, kinetic aesthetic. Yet, beneath the high-gloss precision of his public

It is a quiet morning in Palma, and the light – sharper and more golden than the pale grey of his native Stockholm – pours through the open doors of the Dusty Deco showroom. For Edin Memic Kjellvertz, this shift in geography was more than a change of scenery; it was a necessary deceleration. After

The Body is Not a Machine: Salomé Chatriot on Art, Data, and Desire

Caroline Sarah Henne — Thu, 01 Jan 2026 11:08:09 +0000

In the work of Salomé Chatriot, the boundary between the biological and the mechanical doesn’t just blur – it breathes. Raised between the classical tactile world of her mother’s sculptures and the high-octane machinery of her father’s rally cars, Salomé has developed a practice that is as much an “algorithm of the brain” as it
