This month I’ve been revisiting the Bauhaus movement and its quiet influence on the way we design and live. From open-plan kitchens to honest materials like concrete, steel, and timber, the Bauhaus code still underpins so much of what feels “modern” today. More than just a style, it was a philosophy that put function first and embraced simplicity. A century later, its lessons continue to shape the spaces we create, proving that good design really does stand the test of time.

This month I’ve been thinking about Matthieu Blazy’s impact at Bottega Veneta and how his vision stretched far beyond clothing. From reimagining the Paris flagship with walnut panelling and glass brick columns to collaborating with Cassina at Milan Design Week, Blazy blurred the lines between fashion and interiors. His approach to “quiet luxury” shows that design doesn’t stop at the runway. It shapes how we live, the objects we collect, and the spaces we call home.
