2. Napa Valley\u2019s Stanly Ranch Hosts a Flower-Filled Dining Destination<\/p>\n

California\u2019s Napa Valley<\/a> has long lured oenophiles and foodies with its robust regional wines and talented chefs crafting decadent, mouthwatering dishes from area harvests. For December, Stanly Ranch, an Auberge Collection<\/a> hotel, is elevating the tasting menu experience with The Bloom Room, a flower-filled jewel-box with seating for just 24 guests, serving a six-course menu Executive Chef Anthony Stagnaro orchestrated that draws inspiration from flowers. Each serving offers a bouquet of flavors, such as Royal Osetra caviar enhanced with a red verjus made using dried rose petals, and California Wagyu with black garlic and hibiscus caramel. Coupled with the sommelier-selected wine pairings and Edenic setting crafted by Napa Valley floral designer Edgar Martinez Ruacho, the month-long event is a feast for the senses.\u2014Jill Sieracki<\/p>\n

3. The Range Rover SV Black Arrives in Darkly Polished Form\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lately, Range Rover<\/a> has been making a splash at major design events. At this year\u2019s Milan Design Week<\/a>, the British marque celebrated its 50th anniversary by restaging a retro 1970s dealership<\/a> conceived by experiential studio Nuova<\/a>, complete with period styling and costumed hosts. That attention to scenography was recently carried into Miami Art Week<\/a>, where the esteemed purveyor of luxury SUVs introduced the Range Rover SV Black<\/a> to North America with a sleek installation at Design Miami<\/a>. Titled Dipped in Black, the presentation took cues from the Seagram Building\u2014the modernist landmark by architect Mies van der Rohe\u2014by way of a recessed architectural wall and a glowing horizontal band mimicking the datum of golden light visible on the skyscraper\u2019s facade after dark.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the booth\u2019s center sat the dazzling SV Black, finished in an eye-catching specification as dark as the night and inspired by its iconic modernist forebear\u2019s streamlined geometries. Carefully considered finishes and precision detailing are present across every surface. Gloss Black mesh grilles, bonnet lettering, and 23-inch alloy wheels lend a luxurious sheen to the vehicle\u2019s exterior; silky ebony leather, black birch veneers, satin black ceramic controls, and jewel-like chrome accents shape the sumptuous interior. The model even incorporates haptic feedback through floor mats in addition to the seats, allowing occupants to physically feel the music more deeply. Nearby, a curated selection of objects from Design Miami exhibitors situated the vehicle within a broader exploration of black as an elegant material language. \u2014Ryan Waddoups<\/p>\n

5. ABC Stone Invites Quiet Meditation at Its Flagship Showroom in New York City<\/p>\n

At ABC Stone<\/a>\u2019s flagship showroom, designer Peti Lau is daring to imagine what\u2019s possible by encouraging visitors and passersby on New York\u2019s 22nd Street to pause and look inward. With oversized tarot cards set against La La Curio\u2019s celestial wallpaper, and gifts made from natural stones, the scene set in each display window strikes a meditative holiday tone that\u2019s part poetry and part provocation. \u201cThe message woven through it all: \u2018The cards whisper of what could be. You bring it forth.\u2019\u201d\u2014Alexandria Sillo<\/p>\n

6. Tela, a Textile Collection Rooted in Filipino Craft, Debuts at McGrath<\/p>\n

Born and raised in Manila, designer Eugenia Zobel de Ayala grew up immersed in pattern and texture, shaped by her mother\u2019s bold interiors, her cousin\u2019s work with artisans, and her aunt\u2019s textile archives. While furnishing her New York apartment, she returned to the Philippines in search of cloth that carried history and resisted predictable repeats. That personal sourcing evolved into Tela<\/a>, a new textile line that reworks Filipino weaving traditions for contemporary interiors. The debut collection spans handloomed Hablon cottons from Central Visayas and sheer pi\u00f1a fabrics woven in Aklan from pineapple fibers prized for translucency. Throughout, checks converse with stripes, cotton mingles with pi\u00f1a, and layered compositions echo traditional Filipino dress. \u201cWe hope Tela\u2019s collection invites people to layer spaces in ways that feel soulful, personal, and deeply their own,\u201d Zobel de Ayala says. \u201cNothing too coordinated.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tela recently made its American debut through a residency at McGrath<\/a>, the gallery founded by designer Patrick McGrath<\/a> in Manhattan\u2019s Cable Building. Roman shades in sheer pi\u00f1a filter daylight throughout the gallery, while a four-poster bed dressed entirely in Tela yardage presents mattress ticking, canopy, and bands as a total textile composition. An upholstered gingham sofa re-scales a Filipino check for salon seating, joined by cushions, slipcovers, and lampshades that highlight meticulous handwork across soft goods. \u201cPresenting a textile line outside of a standard showroom model and folding it into an ongoing gallery show felt fresh and sexy,\u201d McGrath says. \u201cWe wanted to create a lived-in, layered environment that showed how the textiles could be used across different applications.\u201d The installation is on view until January 30. \u2014Ryan Waddoups<\/p>\n

7. Loewe\u2019s Spring Summer Pre-Collection Comes to Life at Fouquet\u2019s Titsou Bar<\/p>\n
