What if you could banish all those
bottles from your bathroom cabinet –
the one that depuffs your eyes,
the one that brightens your skin,
the one that irons out wrinkles –
and replace them with just one
serum? A number of beauty
entrepreneurs have launched single
cure-all serums to the market. In a
bid to uncomplicate her skincare
regime, Napa winery owner April
Gargiulo founded Vintner’s Daughter
and developed the multi-correctional
Active Botanical Serum. It quickly
gained cult status. Vanderohe’s
No.1 Nourishing Face Serum and
The Beautiful Oil by Kjaer Weis are
two more with similar intent. We’ve
looked into the growing choice of
complexion panaceas, and found
a few worth clearing our shelves for.

FLOWERS, FROM BLOOM &

ho says that the botanical
beautification of our interiors must take
the form of bunches of flowers arranged
classically in gaping vases? Designers
are increasingly rethinking the way
we style our stems. Japan-based Studio
Note and Italian designer Sara Ricciardi
have made a number of sculptural
stands that allow flowers and fronds
to become extensions of the piece,
shunning the traditional reservoir
of water, and allowing the vegetation
to become a building block of the living
sculpture. Other designers currently
framing flowers innovatively
include Tino Seubert, Katia Tolstykh,
Davide Aquini and Brooksbank & Collins.
