English pop icon Harry Styles and American actress Olivia Wilde have been romantically linked since January when they were spotted attending a wedding hand in hand. Styles is set to star in “Don’t Worry Darling,” a psychological thriller film directed by Wilde. The celebrity couple have sparked much public discourse yet appear to be happily in love. Over the course of their relationship, the 27-year-old musician and the 37-year-old movie star have lived in the Hollywood Hills home of Styles’ longtime manager, Jeff Azoff, before their voyage to London. Last month, the duo reportedly embarked on a summer getaway with quality time in Italy.

Continuing the trajectory of their romance, the couple have now taken residence in a Los Feliz rental. The love nest is meant to serve as a temporary home as Wilde films her role in Damien Chazelle’s upcoming film “Babylon” alongside Hollywood A-listers Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie. The celebrity couple’s newfound abode was sold in 2019 for $3.3 million to Spanish songstress Lourdes Hernández and husband Zach Leigh who completely reconstructed and renovated the home into a modern, chic space. Now, the property is reportedly being rented by Styles and Wilde at $13,600 a month.

Built in 1981, the contemporary Los Feliz residence spans nearly 4,000 square feet and features five bedrooms and five bathrooms. Entering the gated property, the single-story home opens to a foyer with a gracious grand piano. The interior layout presents two living areas: one that is cozy and comfortable, and the formal space with built-in bookcases. The renovated Scandinavian style kitchen offers a spacious center island and breakfast nook. The décor encompasses an industrial chic aesthetic with neutral tones, pale hardwood flooring, metal light fixtures, and a contrasting array of windows to offer warmth.

Outside, the exterior space highlights a standalone bar adjacent to the swimming pool that is surrounded by lush green lawn. Additionally, the backyard offers a built-in barbeque and covered patio perfect for entertaining. Other amenities of the lovers abode include an at-home gym, hot tub, office, and music room.

Food and fine cooking are at the heart of Italian culture. So, when architect Tomassini Francesco, Chef Lucio Pompili, and Pedini were given the opportunity to design an Italian kitchen, they all agreed that it should represent these values.

Pedini's Cookeat kitchen is the perfect fit for families who like cooking and eating together indoors or outdoors. It's a contemporary take on the traditional family-style kitchen, with ample space for everyone to gather around. This makes it an excellent choice for parties and celebrations, especially for families that enjoy spending time with friends and neighbors and sharing meals by the pool in the summer or as they sit by the fire pit in the colder months.

The Cookeat kitchen design includes a generous central island that is perfect for, well, cooking and eating. The central island has seating options on either side, cooking and prep stations on both sides of the island, and plenty of space to keep everything organized. This is more than just an ideal layout for families who like to cook. It's practical, inviting, and made to complement both modern and traditional home designs.

In a Cookeat kitchen, every time you get together and spend time cooking and hanging around the table becomes a memorable event. It is an invitation to a unique culinary experience inspired by Italian culture. It was created with the idea that the kitchen table is a central meeting place for conversation, sharing, laughing, and learning.

The Cookeat kitchen was showcased at the original Eataly, the Italian food market and mecca for culinary excellence, where it was praised for its fundamental appreciation for culinary art and intelligent design.

The Cookeat collection was designed to help you feel comfortable and happy in your kitchen, which is why it can be shortened or extended as needed. You can customize the worktop, white goods, bases, and finishes so you can create the kitchen you need for your everyday use and special occasions.

In 1967, Frank Sinatra purchased the Palm Desert estate and completed transforming the property into his home by 1970. Named after his character in From Here to Eternity, Sinatra’s mountain retreat became a generous space for relaxation and entertainment. The quintessential American singer spent 14 years in the home with his fourth wife, Barbara, before it was donated to Loyola Marymount University, then sold to a private buyer. In the years following, the opulent property has been on and off the market but was recently relisted for $4.25 million as listing agent Markus Canter of Berkshire Hathaway claims, “the property and the market are now in alignment.” Traveling from Washington, Texas, New Jersey, England, and Italy, prospective buyers are elated to view the renowned estate. The luxurious property offers scenic views, plentiful outdoor space, and a home that evokes the feel of a summer vacation.

Sinatra’s Villa Maggio spans 7.5 acres of picturesque land and includes nine bedrooms and 12.5 bathrooms. The property consists of a five-bedroom main house, three-bedroom guesthouse, and one-bedroom pool house. Many of the bedrooms are luxurious guest suites featuring their own bathrooms, fireplaces, balconies, or adjacent decks. The home’s restaurant quality kitchen is equipped with an island and three stainless-steel refrigerators. Decorative elements of the home consist of locally sourced wood, stone, and other natural materials. The property can be accessed via car as there is ample capacity to park over 20 automobiles, but the exterior space also offers a helipad. Perched above the Coachella Valley, its sunny location is perfect for enjoying the outdoors with hiking access to the National Forest trails, a resort-style pool for lounging, and a professional-grade tennis court. Other perks of the lavish estate include an art studio, office, library, media room, home theater, gym, and lounge with custom bar.

Kim Kardashian West

Photo Credit: ShutterstockPhoto Credit: ShutterstockKanye and Kim Kardashian West have notably worked with Axel Vervoordt to create their dreamy, futuristic Los Angeles home. The acclaimed interior designer is also an established antiquarian, foundation owner, and owner of two art galleries. Mrs. West is an enthusiast of Vervoordt's minimalistic expression and apparently, has the same taste in art as well.

In 2016, Kim allegedly purchased a sculpture called "Fragment of Myron's Samian Athena” from Vervoordt’s gallery. When a 5 ton, 40 piece shipment arrived at U.S. customs for inspection and the "large draped statue" from an "Old German Collection" bought before 1980, turned out to be a $745,882 sculpture made sometime between the 1st and 2nd century A.D it was flagged as possible culturally protected property. The ancient Roman limestone statue is believed to be illegally smuggled from Italy. Could Kim Kardashian have been part of this art heist of sorts?

A representative for Kim Kardashian claims she never purchased this piece and didn’t even know of its existence until she was alerted of a federal civil forfeiture action on April 30th. Records indicate that Vervoordt is the shipper of the statue, but the importer is listed as “Kim Kardashian dba Noel Roberts Trust.” This trust has been linked to Mr. and Mrs. West for previous real estate purchases, and while neither the trust nor the Wests or Vervoordt are listed as defendants, they may be troubled or negatively affected by these events.

A representative for Vervoordt has said "there is no evidence that this piece was illegally imported from Italy. Our client, as well as our gallery and the gallery from whom we've bought the piece, have always acted in good faith when dealing with the work." The piece is currently in federal custody pending a judge’s decision.

Luxury building Monad Terrace introduces its latest residence, located within a stand-alone 6-story building and featuring interior furnishings crafted in Italy by furniture and design house MORADA-Haute Furniture Boutique.

Taking inspiration from the building’s architect Ateliers Jean Nouvel, MORADA selected hand-crafted furniture that mixes Italian leathers and stones with the light and airiness of the building’s design, and the lush climbing gardens of native Bougainvillea and Passion Vines. This is in the same spirit that Nouvel created at Monad Terrace, where he interplays nature and the indoors.

“We wanted to transform the space into a personalized ambiance that invokes all of the senses while honoring Nouvel’s innovative design,” said MORADA founders Fernan Hernandez and Holger Odenstein. “With this residence, we are telling a story that fuses timeless shapes and materials with natural features for a flawless Oasis on the Bay." 

This juxtaposition of indoors and outdoors is manifested perfectly in Residence 1A of the new building. This three-bed, three-and-a-half-bath home has 3,892 square feet of space and is right on Monad Terrace’s signature lagoon. The expansive waterfront terrace and light, open floor plan really encapsulates the indoor-outdoor living experience for the owner.

“MORADA’s design team was able to exquisitely complement the brilliant architecture and craftsmanship at Monad Terrace, evoking a sense of serenity and capturing a distinctive lifestyle that can’t be found anywhere else,” said Michael Stern, the project’s developer, and Founder/CEO of JDS Development Group.

Monad Terrace is comprised of 59 light-filled waterfront residences specifically designed by Ateliers Jean Nouvel. The newest building is a continuation of the luxurious and elevated living areas invented by the first.

Given that Salone Del Milano, the annual world-famous fair in the Italian city of Milan, did not happen this year, it is more special than ever for Baxter Gallery Miami to welcome the new arrivals, hand-crafted in the northern area of Italy. The detail dedicated to each piece of the Baxter collection is beyond anything the industry has seen, and as always, executed in the brand's signature premium leather.

“Baxter Miami is operating and open for business remotely,” says Elizabeth Potter, Director of the flagship showroom in Miami. “We remain 100% dedicated to current projects and all our customers, with our design team supporting clients from their home offices. Engagement may have slightly changed but our creative output has not. Thankfully, the Baxter headquarters in Lombardy have also remained safe and well; we expect Italy and our factory to be operational in the not too distant future.”

Among the iconic collection pieces that Potter and her team at Baxter Gallery Miami are featuring in new projects today: the Chestermoon, the Budapest Soft, the Jupiter and Jorgen, and the always treasured signature statement, the Little Nepal Chair. Each express the Baxter tradition of handcrafted technique and quality, sophisticated and timeless beauty.

The northern area of Italy, where the furniture industry is heavily centered, was the first Italian zone heavily hit when the crisis began. Furniture factories have been forced to shut down since March, with administration teams working smart from home like their counterparts in the USA. The Italian government is looking at May 4th as a planned date to start up factory operations.

Salone del Mobile Milano, the world’s largest trade furniture fair that takes place in the Italian city every April, was unfortunately canceled this year. However, a ray of light may be at the end of the tunnel for those seeking to experience Baxter collection before 2021. “We can still dream and find a way to experience quintessential Baxter in both Miami and Milan,” says Potter with a hint of mystery.

The expert craftsmanship that goes into every piece exhibited in the store keeps the standard set by Italian entrepreneurs Luigi and Paolo Bestetti since 1990. On the Magic City, the latter has described Miami as a place where, “design is part of the very texture of the city.”

After the brand’s presence in Miami for nearly a decade, Baxter Gallery Miami opened in September 2019 to rave reviews.

The flagship has gained the attention from New York City and Hamptons residents who look to purchase their third, fourth, even fifth home in South Florida and are in search of unique custom design at the highest level. The new location has also grown the brand’s grasp on the ultra-wealthy Latin American and European clientele that has been more acquainted with Baxter in other jet set pockets of the world. Clients like these have been at the vanguard of Miami’s ascent into the world of design’s principal cities.

“Miami has become a hot spot for the increased competition in the luxury industry,” says Elizabeth Potter, Director of the flagship store.

The look of the exceptional Italian leather on the pieces makes one pause for a moment and wonder if it is possible to reach down and touch the softness. Their artful design is worthy of gazing.

“The story of Baxter is one of passion,” continues Potter. “Baxter's flagship spaces have become something different than retail stores. We invite our clientele into an approach and space similar to art galleries. We try to enhance, emphasize and connect to the architecture's soul with a project. And the very same heart and soul is transmitted as we approach our clients' unique spaces as well.”

Developed by Ugo Colombo and his team at CMC Group, the exquisite building, with its flatiron shape and curves on the balcony of every floor, was designed by Miami-based Luis Revuelta. Interiors are by renowned Italian design architect Massimo Iosa Ghini, who seamlessly implemented Revuelta's design onto the interiors.

Over 95% of the building’s 527 units are sold, with remaining residences priced from $790,000 to $3 million. One upper duplex penthouse is available for $8 million.

Units in Brickell Flatiron have been purchased by international luxury buyers from Argentina, Colombia, Italy, Mexico and Venezuela. However, U.S. buyers are the biggest bloc, buying over half of all units. The lure of Downtown Miami and Brickell has generated interest from those interested in the cosmopolitan lifestyle at a fraction of the price of other high-profile markets.

“When we started developing in Miami in the early 1990s, our firm viewed Brickell and Downtown as a ‘blank canvas’ that would one day come to life as a vibrant residential and commercial district where streets were alive 24 hours a day,” said Colombo. “Brickell Flatiron stands out for its unique luxury lifestyle woven into the urban landscape and is a reflection of Miami’s coming of age as a cosmopolitan city with a thriving downtown at its heart.”

Steps away from Brickell Flatiron are some of Miami's finest restaurants, shopping centers, five-star hotels, and transit hubs that service the area's headquarters for hundreds of companies.

Under Colombo's leadership, CMC Group has been in the luxury development in the Brickell Financial District since 1994, when it developed Bristol Tower, and the Santa Maria in the mid-2000s, both generating record sales revenues.

Amenities on the rooftop include a Sky Spa, Sky Pool and Sky Gym with 360-degree panoramic views of the bay, Downtown Miami, and beyond. The private steam, sauna and locker facilities are close to the 6,300 square foot fitness center with Pilates, spin and aerobics studios, and a juice bar.

A resort-style lap pool and separate children's pool on the 18th floor, private movie theater with stadium seating, billiards room and lounge, clubroom, full-time concierge and 24-hour valet parking, on-site vehicle washing and detailing, and electric car-charging stations are other features within Brickell Flatiron, guaranteeing nothing but the finest in urban luxury living.

CMC Group paid back $236 million in construction financing to Bank OZK, Broad Street (Goldman Sachs) and RFR Realty in December 2019, only 30 days after receiving the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for Brickell Flatiron.

Thanks to Vitrum Arte, designs can be transferred to glass, making each arrangement really unique. The extraordinary inlay technique is an extremely innovative process that, however, still requires the patient and essential work of man. Exclusive projects are thus created, perfectly poised between art and design.

A Tribute to Designer Alessandro Mendini

“Placing a sign on a surface is an action similar to writing. It puts that surface inside a story. The signs elaborated for Valcucine are geometric and do not claim to simulate the letters of the alphabet. Nevertheless, by adding signs and stylistic elements, they make parts of the kitchen tell a story, establishing a friendship between the user and the kitchen itself. This special attention favors a more intense relationship based on sharing.”

The bar stands out from the other Logica Celata configurations because it is an all-Italian tradition typical of this country’s way of life, touching conviviality and intimacy and the public and private spheres.

The door opens to reveal Valcucine’s new home bar: practical, well-organised and complemented by all the equipment required for impeccable wine tasting, to mix up a perfect cocktail or prepare an excellent espresso, served as if prepared for a connoisseur.

The only thing better than drinking world-class wines is living on those sumptuous wine estates that produce such wines. Estates that are situated in the most ideal locations that boast the most ideal weather: sunny by day and cool by night.

Estates with the most aromatic of scents: the briny ocean and smoky mountains intermingling with nearby sun-warmed lavender; the crispiness of apples colliding with the muskiness of garden-fresh melons. All these fragrances culminate into the blossoming of the most luscious, delectable grapes.

Can you not smell those subtle aromas of a blooming grape cluster? Smell the sweetest of ephemeral aromas, not cloying or overly saturated in any way? Such scents exude as you drink your bottle of Chianti or Malbec on a massive stone patio, watching the gentle sway of grape-bearing vines in the most magnificent of grooves sprawled out as far as your eye can see. This is, indeed, the good life as toasted by oenophiles around the world.

And for those who are fortunate enough to own a piece of wine country, their dream lies in the sipping of vino, eyeing the vineyard vistas and feeling the verve on a daily basis while situated in one of the three world’s most revered wine regions.

Bordeaux, France

Located in Italy, between Golfo Aranci and Baia Sardinia on the northeast side of the island of Sardinia, lies a strip of coastline known as Costa Smeralda – 55 kilometers of sandy beaches and coves snuggling the vividly colored Mediterranean Sea.  Costa Smeralda is renowned for being one of the most beautiful sailing waters in the world and one of the most popular destinations in the Mediterranean for yachting.  A mini-state within Sardinia, Costa Smeralda has an independent security force, a private fire brigade and a Capital – the fishing village of Porto Cervo, which boasts ancient archways, external staircases and loggia, fronting world-class designer shops and superb restaurants.  Porto Cervo Marina lies in a well-protected harbor, helmed by Yacht Club Costa Smeralda which offers yacht repair facilities.  Private jet and helicopter access is located at Olbia.  The Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta, polo matches, film festivals and vintage car rallies are held in Costa Smeralda.

The Hotel Pitrizza on Costa Smeralda has 56 rooms including various suites.  The three new Pitrizza Villas have just opened on the Hotel Pitrizza property, all overseen by Laurel Barrack.
