1. Claude Lalanne\u2019s Big Apple Goes on View at Le Bristol Paris<\/p>\n

La Pomme de New York, a monumental golden apple sculpture, is Claude Lalanne\u2019s tribute to New York City. But it will be on display in the gardens of the hotel Le Bristol<\/a> in Paris from March 31 to April 14 in a preview celebration of Christie\u2019s Paris<\/a> spring Marquee Week auctions. The 2.5-meter apple will be a highlight of the April 15 20\/21 Century Art Evening Sale, where its estimate is $5\u20138 million. Le Bristol\u2019s guests will have a lucky opportunity to savor and build a repeat-view in-person relationship with one of Lalanne\u2019s most notable artworks, which has previously been displayed at the Trianon Estate at Versailles as well as on Park Avenue in New York. \u2014Rena Gross<\/p>\n

2. Blue Green Works Cultivates a Garden of Exquisite Murano Fixtures<\/p>\n

Botanical motifs tend to run through the exquisite luminaires fashioned by Blue Green Works<\/a>, the Lower Manhattan lighting studio founded by Peter B. Staples. His Palm series, for example, distills the sway of Fire Island Pines into kiln-slumped glass that arcs like fronds in salty air. With Garden, a new seven-piece collection, Staples experiments with Murano for the first time, entering a centuries-old craft tradition with a refreshingly modern sensibility. Developed in close dialogue with Venetian maestros, the collection draws on the storied genre\u2019s classic leaf and feather iconography, each element exactingly hand-formed before joining polished steel or brass frameworks. Clear glass components catch and diffuse light like lustrous apparitions as they hover along linear beams or gather in clustered pendants. The series also carries a personal turn\u2014created in the wake of his mother\u2019s passing, Garden channels that loss into objects of disarming delicacy. \u201cI wanted to create something heartbreaking,\u201d he says. \u201cIn the end, it feels that way because I was heartbroken during this process.\u201d \u2014Ryan Waddoups\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. Natalia Miyar Conceives a Cozy Private Members Club in Spain<\/p>\n

With her ties to both London and Miami<\/a>, designer Natalia Miyar<\/a> crafts stunning residential<\/a> and hospitality<\/a> spaces that deftly dance between graceful tailoring and decadent expression. Her latest iteration\u2014a private members club in the Balearic Islands\u2014showcases Miyar\u2019s talent for balancing rich colors<\/a>, unique textures, and dynamic works of art<\/a>, cultivating a room that can be uplifting by day and sumptuous by night. Walls coated in a turquoise blue microcement reflect light like the sun bouncing off a gentle tide. Warm woods counteract the coolness of the palette, which is given a chromatic boost with an assortment of vintage botanical prints. The clean lines of the lighting by Apparatus, Collier Webb, and Tyson juxtapose the ornate patterns of the textiles by Mark Alexander and Martyn Lawrence Bullard<\/a> embellished with piping by Perennials and Samuel & Sons. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always believed that if you pick up a handful of sand, you\u2019ll find the most beautiful composition of shells, glass, and grains. That idea informed our material choices, which echo the rocky, sandy textures of the Balearic coastline,\u201d says Miyar of the Ibiza space. \u201cThis was never intended to be a glossy or overly polished space. It was designed to feel like being on the beach, but indoors.\u00a0Overall, the aim was to create something immersive, textural, and grounded in its environment.\u201d\u2014Jill Sieracki <\/p>\n

4. Land Art Pioneer Lita Albuquerque Heads to Joshua Tree as the High Desert Test Sites\u2019 2026 Fellow<\/p>\n

This April, Lita Albuquerque heads back to the desert floor. Andrea Zittel\u2019s<\/a> High Desert Test Sites<\/a> has named the Los Angeles-based artist its 2026 fellow<\/a>, welcoming her to A-Z West in Joshua Tree<\/a> from April 4 through 25 to create large-scale drawings in pigment, sand, and rock directly on the earth\u2019s surface. Albuquerque has used landscape as both site and medium since the late 1970s, when she filled trenches with ultramarine pigment along the Malibu bluffs. From there, her practice expanded into increasingly epic terrain: to the Mojave<\/a>; to the Great Pyramids of Giza, where, for Sol Star<\/a>, she wielded three tons of powered blue pigment into 99 circles mapped to the stars above, earning her the Cairo Biennale Prize; and to Antarctica, where Stellar Axis<\/a> became the largest ephemeral artwork ever realized on the continent.<\/p>\n

Today, Albuquerque still works at a planetary scale, and the fellowship leads into a career-spanning solo exhibition at the Palm Springs Art Museum<\/a>, opening October 17. For the first time, the exhibition will bring together pigment works, sculpture, and films tracing Najma, her fictional 25th-century astronaut sent to Earth to seed interstellar consciousness. And fittingly, a half century after she first began drawing on the land, Albuquerque is back where she started: drawing in the dirt. \u2014Gogo Taubman<\/p>\n

5. Nonfiction Debuts a Sensory New York Boutique by Charlap Hyman & Herrero<\/p>\n

Nonfiction<\/a> has grown steadily since Haeyoung Cha launched the beauty brand just before the pandemic, amassing an international following for its floral fragrances developed with renowned French perfumers. That ascent continues with a new boutique on Manhattan\u2019s Lower East Side, the brand\u2019s first outpost beyond Asia. Designed with Charlap Hyman & Herrero<\/a>, the shop draws on the neighborhood\u2019s layered history while channeling Cha\u2019s interest in sensorial experiences. Textural limewashed walls rise above glossy oxblood tiles, their sheen catching the glow of a mirrored column lit in amber. An arched niche reveals tiles painted with a black rose created specifically for the store by Pilar Almon, artist and mother to designer Adam Charlap Hyman<\/a>. A Queen Anne candlestand sits near a mahogany table by Doug McCollough; a resin sconce and aluminum chair by Minjae Kim paired with a painting Chulhwa Kwon introduce artful accents. The store carries the brand\u2019s full fragrance range, including 22 signature scents, alongside a New York\u2013exclusive perfume tag scented with The Rose. \u2014R.W.\u00a0<\/p>\n

6. Simon Pearce Re-introduces Iconic Anemone Vase<\/p>\n

Beginning April 1, Simon Pearce<\/a> will for the first time offer the iconic Anemone vase in four distinct sizes. Inspired by nature and made of handblown glass<\/a>, the vase\u2019s asymmetrical edge is reminiscent of flower petals<\/a> in bloom. \u201cThe Anemone Vase is a striking expression of virtuosity,\u201d James Murray, Senior Vice President of Design & Product Development at Simon Pearce, tells Galerie. \u201cIt\u2019s the perfect combination of an overall design vision and the free-flowing outline that takes shape as the glassblower sculpts the form and the rim.\u00a0There is an element of chance, with each piece revealing subtle variations.\u201d Meant to hold flowers or be displayed as an inspiring design piece, the sizes now range from small to extra-large, with the largest expression requiring two glassblowers working in tandem to complete. \u201cAnemone is a special design to us at Simon Pearce, but many customers will be encountering it for the first time this spring,\u201d says Murray. \u201cWe can\u2019t wait to see how customers will live with Anemone Vases in their own homes.\u201d \u2014Alexandria Sillo<\/p>\n

Rising up over Miami Beach with breathtaking views of sand and surf, Ocean Terrace<\/a> aims to be the next in-demand residential tower when it opens on Collins Avenue in 2029. In the interim, the property by Revuelta Architecture International, with interiors by Robert A.M. Stern Architects<\/a>, has been hosting a series of pop-ups in tune with the neighborhood\u2019s culturally rich programming.

The installation follows earlier presentations by wellness brand Ricari Studios<\/a>, and ICA Miami<\/a>\u2013the institution\u2019s first activation on Miami Beach, with works by Hernan Bas<\/a>, Shara Hughes,<\/a> Claire Tabouret,<\/a> and more. \u201cThese pop-up experiences reflect the kind of community we are building at Ocean Terrace\u2014one defined by culture, design, and genuine connection to place,\u201d says Alex Witkoff, CEO of Witkoff and a developer of Ocean Terrace. \u201cWe set out to bring forward-thinking partners to Ocean Terrace and invite the public to engage with the site in a meaningful way, well ahead of completion. These cultural experiences will make Ocean Terrace an unrivaled destination globally.\u201d\u2014J.S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1.
