With the warm African sun smiling down on us we look for beaches, swimming pools and picnic spots. The heat at night however, can be decidedly uncomfortable unless there is an air conditioner available.
As dream investments, it’s important to choose the correct air conditioners. Beyond this, choosing the correct temperature does more than help comfort levels on a stuffy summer’s night. It’s all about body temperature regulation.
Samsung’s Wind-Free™ technology is an example of good airflow control. Once you select your ideal temperature, the system disperses fresh air uniformly without the unpleasant blast of cold wind. It uses 21,000 micro-holes to gently spread air evenly throughout the room, maintaining a comfortable level of coolness without any draft. This also negates the stuffiness often felt in artificially regulated temperatures.

Molteni&C|Dada furnishes the Arua Private Spa Villas, the ultimate escape opened in August 2019 in Merano, South Tyrol, offering panoramic views of the Adige Valley up to the Dolomites. The Arua Private Spa Villas is a member of Design Hotels, a curated collection of over 300 hotels in more than 60 countries which are true originals, whose passion, sensibility, and vision shine through in the minutest details of the guest experience.

With stylish design classics, timeless furniture and lovely details, Molteni&C|Dada and the owners have created an exceptional place amidst a scenic idyll. Each element has been thought through to the smallest detail and realized with the Milanese designer and interior designer Nicola Gallizia and above all pieces from the Molteni&C|Dada collections.

Each of the six flats was conceived as independent residential units that do not interfere with each other. The idea was to give each of them the maximum of natural light, through large windows and the spacious terrace as well as high-end finishing using natural colours and materials, in full respect of the circular economy concept.

Molteni&C|Dada is available exclusively from @il_lusso_sa.

We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate @poltronafrauofficial for winning the Archiproducts Design Awards with their Coupe Bed.

Judged and chosen by a jury panel made up of the leading figures in Architecture and Design, the winning entries stood out for their unique concept and represent the excellence in creativity, technology and research.

GamFratesi designed a bed which, as its name suggests, pays homage to the classic padded elegance of the great sports cars. Clean and distinct aerodynamic lines, upholstered by hand using soft Pelle Frau® leather, delineate an intimate and comfortable space designed for two.

Particular attention has been focused on the relationship between the headboard and the bed frame: two distinct geometric forms which, while maintaining their individuality, meet harmoniously in a subtle game of balance and power that exalts the fluid and compact lines of the overall design.

The Hotel Al Cappello Rosso is one of the most elegant hostelries in the centre of Bologna. This medieval city is located between Milan and Florence and has seen tourism grow exponentially in recent years. The Hotel Al Cappello Rosso decided to renovate the three suites situated on their top floor to satisfy the more exigent needs of foreign clients. Yet, this has not been a simple renovation of rooms because it incorporated the development of a new concept, where the Italian set designer Mauro Tinti executed this vision. For the execution and the choice of materials that best matched with this concept, the hotel worked with a well-known Italian interior design studio, Doodesign, which has historic experience in the contract sector.

This property is a new build, in what is considered to be one of the most iconic structures in New York City. Located in the heart of Manhattan, between 56th and 57th street, 432 Park Avenue is the tallest residential tower in the western hemisphere. At 332 square metres, the penthouse comprises three bedrooms, plus three and a half bathrooms.
Rising to almost 427 metres, architect Rafael Vinoly choreographed the interior scene with four-metre high ceilings and vast, three-metre square windows that offer peerless views of New York City. These high ceilings and vast floorspace showcase an extensive art collection, including sculptures by British artists Sir Tony Cragg and Richard Deacon, paintings by Idris Khan and a neon installation by Welsh conceptual artist Cerith Wyn Evans.

Flexform products are available exclusively from @il_lusso_sa.

Oggie confidence is reflected in their 30 year guarantee. The company prides itself on having over 60 000 square metres of stock on hand in their Cape Town warehouse and offers reliable and punctual delivery. The company organises global transport to meet deadlines, even in difficult-to-reach areas.

A 3-ply board will generally cost less than a multi-ply board because there is less work involved in its construction. The more layers the board has, the more stable a floor is likely to be. A 3-ply board is more likely to risk damage through moisture and temperature fluctuations than a multi-ply board. If you have underfloor heating, because of the direct influence of the heat, multi-ply boards are generally recommended.

Oggie’s new Dutch finishing line is the most technically advanced colour finishing plant in Africa. Oggie clients can choose from a broad range of displayed colour samples, or create their own custom colour finish in UV oil or commercial grade diamond oil.
All Oggie oak floors have FSC 100 percent certification. FSC is an independent, non-government, non-profit organisation established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.

A big white box and a garden full of surprises: Paola Lenti never stops looking to the future and renews spaces into the contemporary homes they unmistakably propose.
Inside, under large luminous panels, movable backdrops, ornamental coverings, fabric Boiserie and indoor products in bright colours design welcoming landscapes, private and at the same time open to each other, which are reflected in the glossy white floor.

Outside, the outdoor products reveal themselves little by little, among bushes and fruit trees, sharing their numberless colours. Nature is let free to trace an amazing route leading to an unexpected and silent glass pavilion surrounded by greenery.

Paolo Lenti is available exclusively from @il_lusso_sa.

Since the ‘60s, the world of Pop has had an undeniable influence insofar as all forms of creativity from fashion to interior design. Perhaps the only enduring landmark being denim jeans.
Yet another, still rocking icon is Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger after whom this seating piece is named. The designer / manufacturers maintain that the JAGGER chaise longue is a creation that rises from a dialogue between beauty and comfort and that ideally, it could represent the ‘steadying of attitude after a rock ’n roll concert’. #habitatmagsa #habitatonline #theartofliving #luxuryliving #worldofpop #furniture #chaiselounge #designinspiration #furnituredesign #furnituretrends #therollingstones #jagger
