I cannot think of a better way to celebrate R & Company’s 20th anniversary than the recently opened exhibition, ‘Verner Panton.’ When the design gallery first opened at its chic location in Tribeca shortly after 9/11, the first substantial exhibition was devoted to the Danish designer.

Design editor Mitchell Owens once said: “Laura Sartori Rimini and Roberto Peregalli—partners in Milan-based Studio Peregalli—are time travelers, wizards whose spells conjure the distant past.

The similarity between Scandinavian and Japanese aesthetics is easily recognized. It is not only a distinctive simplicity and a respect to craftsmanship, to nature, and to materials, but also historic interchange between the two cultures, which is rooted in the late 19th century. Look, for example, at the iconic Hotel Okura, designed by Toshiro Taniguchi in

Pauline Baer de Perignon, a Parisian educator of writing workshops, succeeded against all odds in retrieving important works of art which belonged to her family and were confiscated by the Nazis. Her remarkable journey is told in The Vanished Collection, a new volume in English, published by New Vessel Press. For my generation, third generation
