Tatler Homes Philippines - Homes Vol 21

I dette nummeret

In this issue, we take you across continents into a world of wonderfully eclectic luxury interiors beginning with our cover story: the home of Aquazzurra’s Creative Director Edgardo Osorio. Located within the historic Palazzo Corsini in Florence, it is a glorious play of contrasting elements—antique and modern, colour and pattern—all set off against De Gournay’s divine wall coverings.
Bespoke furniture joins arresting contemporary artworks to create a perfect blend of duality, of past and present. An equally elegant co-mingling of disparate elements takes place at a high-rise luxury apartment in Manila’s bustling Bonifacio Global City. Here, the architect and designer J Anton Mendoza’s sleek, clean lines set the stage for contemporary furniture from some of the finest brands such as Walter Knoll and Molteni & C, side by side with the homeowner’s collection of antique Oriental ceramics and Japanese Edo screens.
Our year end Luxe Issue is also brimming with interesting art features: from insights on Nam Jun Paik at Leon Gallery International’s opening show in collaboration with Gagosian Gallery; and Andres Barrioquinto’s recent portraits of Filipino personalities for the benefit the Asian Cultural Council at the National Museum; to a snapshot of international contemporary sculpture at Regent’s Park during Frieze London.
In time for the holidays, you will also find some great gift ideas on our pages. Check out our picks of posh home accessories like Diptyque’s Constellation Carousel that adds a new twist to burning holiday candles; or consider Dyson’s recently launched Airwrap, a hair styling gadget powered by innovative technology, sure to make a great addition to any stylish lady’s dressing room. Likewise, you can never go wrong with a beautiful book that makes for a visual feast, not only for the eyes but for any coffee table.
