A new Rosewood Hotel on the Pacific coast of Mexico
The expansion of Riviera Nayarit-Een about 200 miles stretch along the Pacific coast of Mexico, about an hour’s drive north of Puerto Vallarta will continue this week with the opening of Rosewood Mandarina. The hotel with 134 rooms covers a green, forested 53 hectare interspersed with agricultural land and has a view of both the Sierra Madre Occidental Mountain Range and the ocean. The area was central to the interior design, says Caroline Meersseman, a director of the New York studio Bando X Seidel Meersseman. “Ninety -five percent of the rooms are confronted with the ocean,” she says. “We used as many windows and mirrors as possible to bring the outside in.” Apart from the natural beauty, Meersseman and her team found inspiration in the native Huichol and Cora cultures in the region. Mexican contemporary artists were commissioned to make the decorative pieces and furniture that are found in every guest room, such as the sculptural ceramic lights of Salvador Nuñez that resembles the native Peyote Cactus, each painted to refer to Huichol and Craft; And a series of abstract murals based on traditional Huichol tale through the Guadalajara -painter Maryan Vare. The primary restaurant of the hotel, La Cocina, will be another nod to the region, with seafood (ceviche with jackfruit, lobster tacos, seasoned shrimps) caught from the Pacific, a few steps away. Rosewood Mandarina opens May 8; From $ 1,000 per night; rosewood.com.

The crispy red berry that is a celebration of autumn in Chile
Autumn in Chile signals the arrival of the Murta season, when old wild berries – differently known as Murtilla, Chilean Guave or Strawberry Myrtle – flood the southern landscapes of the country. Fragrant and floral, with a texture somewhere between a fresh blueberry and sturdy apple, Murta has long been cherished about Chile for both its different taste and nutritional value. Bee Amaia In Maipú, a suburb of Santiago, the chef Iván Zambra, a champion of native Chilean foodways, in favor of Murta berries for their crispy texture and natural acidity. From March to May, Zambra shows fresh red Murta in lively herb salads and a tartar. To maintain the premium of the season, he puts the berries to make syrups and jam, capturing their essence for dishes throughout the year such as Murta Panna Cotta with yogurt Semifreddo and Lawen, a traditional herbal infusion intended to calm a cold and enlighten stress. Bee Boragó In the Vitacura district in Santiago sources, the chef Rodolfo Guzmán Murta – including a rare white variety that he serves fresh as a spice or predessert – via an extensive network of southern feeds. He opposes the preservation of the berries wherever possible. “If you keep them, you lose the soul,” he says. Although his team occasionally Murta fermentation or pushing out to put the taste in broths, they usually present the fruit on the aromatic peak. This season, Guzmán debuts a dessert that Murta combines with a spicy Patagonian rhubarb and rich sheep milk ice cream. “It’s about honoring the momentum of the country,” he says. Murta has found his way to gardens and farms in Italy, new -zeeland and parts of Great Britain (AT CrocadonAn organic farm and restaurant in Cornwall, the chef Dan Cox serves Strawberry Mirt with Surel Sorbet, Anise Hysopoly and fresh sorrel leaves), but Guzmán notes that the Chilean variety retains a unique taste. “You want to take that personality and allow it to accentuate all other ingredients,” he says. “If it’s fresh, it’s just pure magic.”
The New York artist Laila Gohar and Véronique Taittinger, the owner and artistic director of the Spoke Linen Company in relation to Paris, launch their first collaboration, a 13-part collection of Handombreid Bed and table goods that draw on traditional techniques. A pleated duvet covers took almost 500 hours to complete, while it is complicated Point De Noud Style of embroidery on the top magazine of the collection was once used by French nuns from the 15th century. Gohar’s preference for obstinacy comes forward in the form of a scalloped tablecloth to look as if a handful of multi -colored beans had been spread on his Belgian linen surface. For those who are concerned about the usability of regular use of such delicate pieces, Taittinger says that maintenance is surprisingly simple: “Avoid the dryer, but they can be washed machine. The more you use them, the better they become.” From $ 55, modaoperandi.com.

In the Grand Palais of Paris, a new view of the brasserie
When the French interior architect Joseph Dirand was asked to design a restaurant in the Grand Palais-the Beaux-Arts monument near the Champs-Elysées of Paris-Zag, he as a chance to honor the iconic past of the building. “It’s one of my favorite places in Paris,” he says. “Somewhere between a train station and a cathedral – built for both passage and wonder.” With Le Grand Café, which will be opened this week, Dirand has made a large version of the traditional Parisian brasserie with a brick color palette (a nod to the original clay floors of the Grand Palais), velvet banquets, wooden lambing and patinated mirrors. Servers wear white coats and a small stage will organize live jazz musicians under the 60 -foot ceilings of the restaurant. Camellias and Magnolias bloom on the stone terrace outside. The menu leans nostalgically, with a buttery only Meunière, Steak au Poivre and Île Flottante. But there are a few surprises, such as citrus-cruste veal candy bread and a sweet and holy salad of green beans, raspberries and lobster. legrandcafe-paris.com.

The layered representation of a painter of family ties
In the new exhibition by Antonia Shower, ‘In Line’, in Timothy Taylor in New York – her first solo show since he became a mother – the British painter Cycli is investigating life and shifting roles within a family. Showering, which pours oil paint on a transferring canvas while it is flat and the colors pools, will sometimes spend weeks with a work of art, such as the creepy painting “pruning” (2024), which shows one figure on top of another in a situation that seems “sexual and surgical,” she says. In that painting: “You can see a most palimpses that leads to the final surface,” she adds. Her expressive compositions often contain these layers of Pentimenti, the spooky traces of older versions of a work of art that remain visible, even after they have been dyed, memories, regret and dreams evoke. Other times take a shower to the canvas with an idea in mind. Living and working in pastoral Somerset, showering says she feels out of her cohort, so she often spends time with friends. Some of her new pieces have come from these conversations. “The Waiting Room” (2025)-in which orange-en-Paars Light contains a room where a thoughtful, naked woman sits in bed with her newborn baby next to her-Werd informed by her friend the art historian Katy Hessel, who recently read an extract of her emerging book, “how to lead an artful life.” Every painting, showering says, “is all about trying to translate and share a feeling.” “In Line” will be shown from 8 May to 21 June, Timothytaylor.com.
Antoni Gaudí is best known for his fantastic architecture in Barcelona, Spain, but his contribution to Catalan modernism also included furniture with a surrealistic twist. For Casa Batlló, the aquatic inspired building that Gaudí renovated between 1904 and 1906, he designed a modified wooden dining room chair with a hammer head-rank backrest, a thick, round chair and teasing legs. “The chairs look like animals. They have so much character, as if they want to walk away,” says designer Giancarlo Valle, a co-founder of the Tribeca Gallery Casa Valle, who will show various replicas for the Nycxdesign Festival. The presentation is in collaboration with BD Barcelona, a Spanish design company that has a license to reproduce the furniture of Gaudí with the same techniques and materials as the originals. (An exclusive Casa Valle X BD Barcelona Batlló chairman with an Ebony spot finish, limited to 50, is also available to you. “There is a whole side of Gaudí’s work that feels thin and undiscovered because it can get lost because of the graceful, large gestures of his architecture,” says Jane Keltner De Valle, the partner of Giancarlo and a co-founder of the gallery. “These seats are a good example. There is such a purity and elegance for them.” Can be seen in Casa Valle from 15 May; Casa Valle X BD Barcelona Batlló chairman, price on request; giancarleovalle.com.
