Welcome to 3137 B Long Boulevard.

A home designed to be experienced, not just lived in.

Here, earthy textures soften the modern architecture. Plastered elements, natural stones, mixed metals, and warm layered lighting create an atmosphere that feels intimate, quiet, and deeply grounded rather than overly polished.

A space that feels just as fitting for a slow morning coffee as it does a house full of people.

Modern living, grounded by materiality.

Milan has a way of telling you where design is going before the rest of the world catches up.

At the exhibition, one of the clearest shifts we noticed was the movement away from traditional brass and into deeper, moodier metal finishes. This coffee bronze brushed finish felt incredibly current because it has warmth, depth, and softness, but without the brightness or familiarity of brass.

It almost reads like jewelry for the kitchen, but in a quieter, more architectural way.

What made this piece even more impressive was the concealed pull down function. Instead of interrupting the silhouette of the faucet with an obvious sprayer, Gessi hides the functionality inside the design, allowing the form to stay clean, sculptural, and intentional. That is where luxury design is heading. Not just prettier finishes, but smarter details that disappear until you need them.

The dial system also completely changes what we expect from a faucet. Cold water, filtered water, boiling water, sparkling water, extra sparkling water, and even an optional coffee extension that allows you to insert a capsule and make espresso directly from the faucet.

It is less about a fixture and more about a fully integrated hospitality moment. This is the kind of detail that makes a kitchen feel collected, considered, and ahead of its time. Not louder. Just better. 🤌🏼

Have you ever walked through a grocery store where nothing expires?

At ’s Milan exhibition, the everyday language of consumption was completely reimagined through natural stone. What looked like a market at first glance was actually an architectural study in permanence. Sandwiches were wrapped in travertine. Cuts of “meat” were carved from deep red marble. Milk cartons became honed Sunset Dune travertine. Fruit, cans, vessels, packaging, and grocery staples were translated into marble, onyx, quartzite, and stone. 🥪🥩🥛

The concept was such a brilliant contradiction. A grocery store is built around speed. We take, we use, we consume, we replace. Everything is temporary.

Natural stone is the opposite. It is slow. It is ancient. It is heavy. It carries time, pressure, mineral history, and permanence in a way almost no other material can. That is why I love working with stone so much. It is not just a finish. It is not just a surface. It is a piece of the earth that becomes part of the architecture.

In a world that keeps getting faster, this exhibition was a reminder that some materials are worth slowing down for. turned consumer culture into sculpture, and somehow made a grocery store feel like one of the most poetic design installations in Milan.

And that’s exactly why I use natural stone and marble in our projects every chance we get, because the right piece of stone does not just finish a space, it gives it permanence and a sense of quiet luxury you can feel the second you walk in.

thank you for having us and congratulations on such an incredibly creative and curated experience!

Everything you touch deserves its own moment.

At Milan Design Week, inside the exhibit, the conversation around water has completely evolved.

This year introduces Haute Culture not as a collection, but as a philosophy. An immersive, cinematic approach where the bathroom becomes a space of ritual, longevity, and personal wellbeing.

We are seeing fashion move directly into the language of plumbing. Faucets are no longer fixtures, they are adorned objects. Woven textures reminiscent of Bottega Veneta are translated into metal, while delicate, jewelry-like gestures similar to Van Cleef and Arpels redefine how we turn water on and off.

But the shift goes beyond aesthetics.

Water is being designed as an experience. Through steam, light, materiality, and sensory layering, the act of bathing becomes restorative, intentional, and deeply human. These are spaces meant to slow you down, not just serve you.

This is where design is heading, more detailed applications.

Spaces are no longer just functional they are emotional. Details are no longer small they are defining. And the most intimate moments in a home are becoming the most designed.

Milan continues to prove that even the way we receive our necessities can be elevated.

And of course, thank you for such an incredible and personal experience.

Metal is no longer the accent, it’s the architecture

Inside , metals take on a completely different role. Stainless steel, burnished brass, and smoked bronze are treated as living materials rather than finishes. Surfaces are oxidized, brushed, and hand-worked to create depth, shadow, and a sense of time that feels intentional and collected

Henge operates in contrast with weight and lightness, raw and refined existing together. Stainless steel becomes sculptural instead of industrial. Bronze reads warm and enveloping. Every surface absorbs and reflects light in a way that feels cinematic and immersive

This direction in design moves away from flat, sterile applications and into something more emotional. Materials feel forged rather than manufactured and spaces feel layered rather than styled

Walking through their showroom later during Milan Design Week made it clear that this is where things are heading. It’s moody, grounded, and deeply tactile

Looking forward to bringing to our clients at home

At Milan Design Week for , I stepped into the exhibit and one thing is clear: terra-cotta is the color of the season.

We’re seeing a shift toward warmth, grounding, and intentional design. Spaces are starting to feel like an extension of nature, where terra-cotta tones, raw stone, and organic textures bring a sense of wellness into the everyday home. It’s about creating environments that center us and reconnect us to the outdoors, even when we’re inside.

This rise in terra-cotta is tied to a deeper movement toward biophilic design and emotional comfort. After years of cooler grays and stark minimalism, people are gravitating toward hues that feel sunbaked, familiar, and rooted in the earth. Terra-cotta reflects natural clay and soil, which psychologically reads as stable and nurturing, making interiors feel warmer and more lived-in. It also pairs effortlessly with the materials we’re seeing everywhere right now like raw stone, textured plaster, and wood, while complementing metal finishes like copper, brass, and polished nickel. Copper in particular is re-emerging because its undertones echo these earthy palettes, creating a cohesive and elevated look.

This season is less about perfection and more about presence. Design that feels human. Design that feels like home.

Creating a spa-like bathroom is all in the details and finishes 🧖🏽‍♀️

By blending natural materials with a soft, neutral palette and warm, ambient lighting, we can transform any space into an inviting retreat.

For this project, we paired the Calacatta Viola marble with white oak cabinetry, custom plaster walls, and brass accents to bring a sense of luxury and serenity. We also added thoughtful, custom features like the steam shower and heated floors to create the ultimate comfort for our client. It’s all about the right mix of textures, tones, and tailored details that make a space feel like a personal sanctuary.
