Founded in 2020 by sisters Laila and Nadia Gohar, Gohar World is a tableware universe that embraces craft, time, tradition, and humour. Designed in their studio in New York and made by family-owned ateliers around the world, the brand places a significant emphasis on craftsmanship, with each product aimed at celebrating disappearing traditions, such as mouth blown glass, various needle work, hand dipped candles, and much more. Thought of as design for the table, where as much attention should be given to dressing the table as oneself, Gohar World hopes to create rituals within the ordinary, and for their products to be heirlooms for future generations.

Architectural Digest has named it cathedral core: stained glass, moved out of the church and into the home. Designers are fitting it into bathroom windows, hallways and front gates. The reasoning is part nostalgia, part reaction. In a year when everything seems generated, people want something made by hand, the same way it was made centuries ago. Most of us are not about to re-glaze the hallway. Luckily the trend scales down. Amber tumblers, green carafes, a pink vase that catches the light at four o’clock. Here is what we’re buying.

Introducing Restaurant People, a new series about the people who open restaurants, and everything they decide before you ever sit down.
Every restaurant is a list of decisions. What colour the woodwork gets painted. Which table goes to the couple who booked six weeks ago. What plays when the first guests arrive, and what plays when the last ones won't leave. You feel all of it and notice almost none of it. Restaurant People is where we ask the people who made those calls to talk us through them - the building, the room, the menu, the wine list, the record that opens the night.
We're starting with Cassette, which opens to the public tomorrow at 42 Maiden Lane.
Mark Gurney and Matthew Bushnell have spent two decades in South London, Salon in Brixton, then Levan in Peckham since 2018, and have resisted going central for most of it. Cassette is the first time they've said yes: 56 covers inside, 20 on a terrace on a quiet pedestrianised street, in a building where Turner was born and Voltaire spent a year in exile, and which spent the 19th century as a furniture and stained glass workshop. It is French, deliberately and unfashionably so. Deep aubergine woodwork, art from Kempton Market, a 360-degree curtain, and a pair of Grundig Audiorama 8000 speakers playing disco. Essa Fakhry is in the kitchen, Madeleine Fawcett is front of house, and there is a serious commitment to calvados.
Mark talked us through all of it.

Something that doesn’t happen every day: the chance to own a slice of Diane Keaton’s (very) extensive archive. Earlier this month, it was announced that New York-based auction house Bonhams will spearhead four auctions spanning May and June, offering up the late Academy Award winner’s personal archive. The sales will include everything from plush furniture and, no doubt, a killer selection of hats to red-carpet Gucci looks, artwork and trinkets collected throughout her lengthy on-screen career.

There’s a reason New York is known as the city that never sleeps. Of course, there are plenty of obvious spots to head to that never get old – Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building, Coney Island, need we go on? But there’s nothing quite like recommendations from someone on the ground who knows where the best bars hidden in the nooks and crannies sit, where to get hot wings that always hit the spot, or the legendary restaurants where you’ll end the night having seen a star-studded face and having eaten a pizza you’ll be thinking about for days. Galleries in TriBeCa that house exciting contemporary artists sit in the same city as vintage shops with 1920s négligées and suiting. We had art director, designer and founder of the New York and LA-based publishing platform Friend Editions, Oliver Shaw, share his very own if-you-know-you-know guide to NYC. Enjoy.

Modern lace is stepping out of the wardrobe and into the home. Once associated with vintage dressing tables and delicate detailing, lace is being reimagined through a sharper, more contemporary lens - think sheer layers, laser-cut textures and intricate openwork that adds softness without feeling overly decorative. Across interiors, we’re seeing lace-inspired finishes appear in everything from perforated lighting and mesh cabinetry to embroidered linens and scalloped ceramics, bringing a sense of tactility and romance to modern spaces. It’s part of a wider shift towards interiors that feel expressive and personal, balancing clean silhouettes with handcrafted detail and a touch of nostalgia.

This week, we turn to Marie Antoinette and its cinematic splendour for interiors inspiration.
A heroine of excess and escapism, her world is as expressive as her wardrobe - indulgent, playful, and impossibly ornate. Think lacquered pastels, sugared almond hues, and gilded detailing, where every surface feels dressed for the occasion.
Bedrooms become confectionery dreams of silk drapery and powder-soft florals, while tablescapes are layered with porcelain, ribbons, and fruit. There’s a sense of theatricality in every corner.
Bring a touch of Versailles fantasy home with pieces that feel decadent, decorative, and just a little bit undone.

Spend five minutes with chef Santiago Lastra, the force behind London’s KOL, where Mexican cooking is filtered through a fiercely personal, produce-led lens. We catch him mid-service, deep in rhubarb season, talking flavour as the ultimate non-negotiable and food as an act of celebration. From spicy, fresh plates designed to make you order another round, to the quiet power of teamwork in the kitchen, Santiago reflects on patience, joy, and why the best meals are colourful, generous, and made to be shared.

A no-booze bar cart is a good excuse to rethink the drinks trolley, starting with what sits on it rather than what's usually poured from it. Glassware, trays and carafes have just as much to contribute as the drinks themselves, and alcohol-free options are worth giving a little space of their own. Here's how to get the set-up right, from choosing the cart to the glasses and bottles that make the cut.

Pistachio green is the interior design trend that whispers luxury while feeling effortlessly fresh. Softer than emerald, more intriguing than sage, this versatile shade slips easily into home décor without demanding attention - yet always draws the eye. Pair this soothing colour palette with warm neutrals for calm, or with chrome and glass for a sharper mood. Whether as a statement vase, lamp, or linen accent, pistachio interiors bring quiet vitality to any room.

For chef and recipe developer Ixta Belfrage, a life well lived is time in the kitchen, cooking for pleasure, soulfully and instinctively, uncertain of what flavours might unfold. Ixta takes us on the journey of her life and career surrounded by food: market stall tacos, Ottolenghi’s Test Kitchen, lasagne for comfort, her first cookbook, the magic of Brazilian porridge and the pure joy that can come from creating something completely new.
