Tuscany on the Turnpike: The Michael Graves House in Princeton, NJ. Graves started collecting Etruscan and Roman antiquities from the flea market when he was an avowed Modernist and a Fellow at the American Academy in Rome in the 1960s, which piqued his interest in historicism and his eventual conversion to Post Modernism. Read the insightful text by Pilar Viladas @pilarviladas with luminous photos by Chris Mottalini @chrismottalini in the current New Jersey issue, available now on our website, link in bio. #michaelgraves #postmodernism #newjersey @aarpresident

The new exhibition “Tutto Ponti” on our favorite Italian architect and designer Gìo Ponti opens today at Les Arts Decoratifs in Paris. Ponti’s “total work of art” aesthetic permeated all his best buildings, such as the Parco dei Principi Hotel in Sorrento, where he designed everything from the buildings to the furniture, tiles, and flatware (images 1 and 2). In the Milan issue we presented an interview between Salvatore Licitra, Ponti’s grandson and the director of the Ponti Archives, and Vida Nemazee, who commissioned the Villa Nemazee in Tehran, Iran (last Photo). Don’t miss this extraordinary exhibition! Dates: October 19, 2018 to February 10, 2019. All photos courtesy the Ponti Archives @giopontiofficial

On the first day of fall we are already dreaming about the magic of summer, and especially E-1027, Eileen Gray’s incredible house in the south of France. 2018 marks the 140th anniversary of the modernist designer’s birth, and Cap Moderne, the non-profit organization devoted to preserving this avant-garde masterpiece, is launching a crowdsource fundraising campaign through Indiegogo to recreate the house’s free-standing and built-in furnishings. Head over to @capmoderneuk for more images of the house and link to the campaign, and pass the info on to raise awareness of this effort. Photos of the house by noted photographer Francois Halard are part of the rewards, along with private tours and a dinner for 12 at the house! . These photos of the house are by Manuel Bougot.
