Celebrating the luxe life here, abroad
In her London flat, Hannah Gurney’s bedroom showcases her favourite hand-painted ’Badminton’ Chinoisserie wallpaper
In time for the holiday season, Philippine Tatler Homes, a special title of the Philippine Tatler Group, unveiled its latest issue that celebrates luxe living here and abroad.
Published three times yearly, the home interiors issue features luxurious interiors, personalities from the design world and beautiful furniture, furnishings and home accessories from the Philippines and around the world.
In this volume’s opulent pages, you will find a spectacular range of houses from around the globe, from the cover story featuring the Villa Limonaia in Florence, a centuries-old palazzo with an illustrious past, restored to its former glory; and the Alabang residence of second generation architect Gil Cosculluela, which is like a playground for grown-ups featuring a bold animation graffiti mural on its front wall and cherished art toys side by side iconic furniture pieces including the Serie Up Big Mama chair designed by Gaetano Pesci for B&B Italia.
And in London, the South Kensington flat of Hannah Cecil Gurney of the magnificent luxury hand-painted wallpaper de Gournay was featured, as well as celebrated designer Kelly Hoppen’s stylishly chic residence that occupies a former auction house space.
The issue is packed with stylish ideas and tips for your home’s living spaces: for the bedroom, featuring sleeping beauties for the night of perfect Zzzs; the ultimate en suite bathroom, steeped in luxurious enhancements and chic amenities; and the kitchen where countless hours are spent and where stylish and innovative kitchen aids can assist you and make your holiday preparations extra fun and exciting.
On the epicurean front, read about Château Siran’s celebration of its acclaimed 2015 vintage with an evening of fine food, wine, and art in Bordeaux and the fabulous food and design on offer in Sydney’s hip and trendy dining scene.
Profumato di Limone’s magnificent gardens in Florence, Italy are within the walking distance of the Duomo.
This issue pays tribute to the late Zaha Hadid, the celebrated, at times controversial, architect whose loss this year was greatly felt by the design world.
Also, catch interesting exclusive interviews with personalities from the design world including the industrial design genius Naoto Fukasawa, who shares his philosophy design during B&B Italia’s 50th anniversary and the House of Hackney’s Frieda Gormley.
In time for this season of luxe celebrations, the Editor’s Picks and Good Taste sections are filled with sumptuous home accents, unique gift ideas, and epicurean delights from global luxury home brands.
As editor Mia Borromeo mentions, “We hope these pages pave the way for you, dear readers, to let your imagination run free and inject elements of your own style and personality into your homes in time for the holidays.” Their holiday lunch to launch this Luxe Living Issue was well attended.
For this informative issue, Philippine Tatler Homes headed to the headquarters of SieMatic in Löhne, Germany, for an exclusive look at the autumn Forum for Timelessly Elegant Design that featured the latest innovations for today’s state-of-the-art kitchen.
SieMatic’s new Urban Kitchen Cabinet Collection is available at the SieMatic BGC showroom located at Twenty-four Seven McKinley, 24th Street corner 7th Avenue, McKinley Parkway, Bonifacio Global City.
Gil Cosculluela’s living room is his study on mixing and matching statement pieces within an open layout.
At an event by its exclusive distributor, Focus Global Inc., SieMatic’s Managing Director of the Far East Office was there to talk about the collection extensively. The collection was well received by guests who all appreciated the collection’s distinct design that sets it apart from the traditional kitchen.
