The value of ostentation can be overstated, argues sought-after Brazilian architect and designer, Arthur Guimarães. Indeed, for many wealthy individuals, personalisation has emerged as a counterpoint to the prevailing culture of flamboyance and commodification, he states. “In an age where luxury has been commodified and flaunted on digital platforms, true connoisseurs of elegance seek solace in the understated, the timeless, and the exquisite,” the São Paulo-based designer explains.  For this more discerning class of wealthy buyer, the habit of customising luxury products has much more to do with a private appreciation for qualities such as “artistry”, “craftsmanship” and “attention to detail” than it does with a desire for public display, he believes. Consider the recent refit Guimarães completed of a Gulfstream G650 jet, replete with custom-made fabrics from Milan-based Loro Piana Interiors and made-to-measure tableware. Do not expect to find any images on Instagram: the UK banker who owns the jet cherishes his privacy “with an almost reverential fervour”. #luxury #personalization #loropiana #interiors #jet #wealth #experience #fashion #lvmh #yacht

You have to admit, luxury is fascinating in the way it constantly evolves. One interesting evolution is the embracing of asymmetry and the imperfect. This shift marks a departure from the traditional need for flawless symmetry in design, acknowledging that there is profound beauty and exclusivity in uniqueness and sometimes even in ugliness. Jewellery, Watch, Fashion and Interior Designers are increasingly experimenting with elements that are not perfectly aligned or uniform and this not only challenges conventional notions of beauty but also resonates with consumers looking for bespoke and distinctive products. The flaw becomes the talking point almost. The designs reflect the individuality of the wearer or the space, creating a personal connection that enhances the luxury experience. This trend also signals a move towards more thoughtful, sustainable practices in the industry, where the beauty of materials is celebrated in their natural, unaltered state and I have to say, I rather like it. #LuxuryDesign #Asymmetry #AuthenticLuxury #UniqueDesigns #SustainableLuxury #BespokeElegance

Milan’s Salone del Mobile design fair has taken on new proportions in recent years. In addition to luxury furniture makers courting decorators and their wealthy clients, it now attracts scores of fashion brands looking to make a splash among top-spenders. Proposing an 360-degree luxury lifestyle to their wealthiest customers is an bigger focus than ever this year as aspirational customers continue to spend less. Salone doesn’t officially start until next Tuesday, but this year the fashion action will mostly be over by then: brands are trying to squeeze in their moments before tastemakers and top clients decamp for the Venice Biennale, where previews begin Wednesday. Armani/Casa’s opening dinner will be Saturday, followed by a flurry of fashion events Sunday and Monday. A handful of luxury fashion brands have actually built substantial businesses in home design: Loro Piana’s home universe has seen real success in recent years, anchored by its expertise in top-end fabrics for upholstery. Hermès produces a full range of furniture in addition to its best-selling H-logo pillows and leather tchotchkes. Armani/Casa, Versace and Fendi have also established furniture and homeware extensions. But even as sales of luxury homeware show promise, the focus for many brands during Salone isn’t on conversions, but being part of the conversation. Prada, for example, recently launched a new homeware range, but that collection won’t be the focus during the fair: rather the brand will stage the third edition of its “Frames” symposium, a series of talks which “delves into the complex relationship between the natural environment and design.” Read the full story below, by BoF's Robert Williams. #SalonedelMobile
