Art has long found its place in the home through paintings, sculpture and carefully considered objects. For Teka (@tekamalaysia), this idea takes form in the kitchen with the Van Gogh Museum Edition, a special-edition collection inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers,’ exploring how artistic expression can find a place in the everyday.

For more than a century, cement tiles were the most common floor in French homes. Today only one workshop in France still makes them, run by the great-grandson of the man who founded it in 1910. Elsewhere, both crafts continue. A Vietnamese tile is pressed; an Athangudi tile is poured onto glass, which gives it softer edges and a glossier face.

Robert Mapplethorpe was born on this day in 1946 and would have turned 80 today. In a career of less than two decades, he became one of the most influential American photographers of his generation, known for portraits, nudes and still lifes made with the same exacting precision. In 1988, a year before his death, the Whitney Museum of American Art gave him his first major American museum retrospective. His early years in New York were spent with the musician and poet Patti Smith, with whom he lived at the Chelsea Hotel; his photograph of her became the cover of her 1975 album Horses, and she later wrote about their friendship in her 2010 memoir, Just Kids. In the mid-1970s, the curator and collector Sam Wagstaff, his partner and patron, gave him a Hasselblad medium-format camera. Swipe through to see how he photographed flowers
Fascinated by reflective surfaces, Verner Panton (@vernerpantonofficial) explored their expressive potential throughout his career. For the Panton Chair, he envisioned a mirrored finish that would accentuate the sinuous curves of his now-iconic design. 50 years later, Vitra (@vitra) brings that long-held vision to life with the Panton Chair Classic Gold. Limited to 999 pieces, the edition reimagines the chair’s fluid silhouette in a warm, reflective gold, made possible by advances in coating technology that were unavailable to Panton in his time. First presented to the public at the 1968 IMM Cologne furniture fair, Vitra will present the U.S debut of the Panton Chair Classic Gold at Salon Art + Design (@thesalonny) in New York, taking place from November 4 to 8, 2026.

HBO’s The Gilded Age (@gildedagehbo) returned this week, but the real Fifth Avenue it draws on barely outlived its own era. In the 1880s, the avenue became a row of palaces, each family trying to outbuild the last. Alva Vanderbilt’s 1883 costume ball, which famously forced Caroline Astor to leave her calling card, was as much about the house as the guest list. Almost none of it stands today. One relic does: the wrought-iron gates of Cornelius Vanderbilt II’s mansion now frame the Conservatory Garden in Central Park. Swipe to see what was lost
When music producer and entrepreneur Dr Dre acquired the sprawling Los Angeles estate that previously belonged to supermodel Gisele Bündchen and her then-husband, NFL legend Tom Brady, he recognised the qualities that made the home distinctive. With its mansard roof, copper finials and zinc cupolas, the residence embodies the grandeur of a French château. Despite the formal architectural language, the home tempers its classical grandeur with the relaxed sensibilities of California living. However, the new homeowner envisioned a residence that could accommodate his professional pursuits, personal interests and family life. Thus, Landry Design Group (LDG) (@landrydesigngroup)—which designed the property for its original owners—returned to rework the interiors and expand the residence to suit his lifestyle and family’s needs.

Richard Serra, born on this day in 1938, was one of the most influential sculptors of the past six decades. He trained as a painter at Yale, and in 1964 a travelling fellowship took him to Europe. After seeing Velázquez’s Las Meninas in Madrid, he went back to his studio in Florence, threw its contents into the Arno and decided to become a sculptor. In New York, where he settled in 1966, he drew up a handwritten list of more than 100 terms, most of them verbs such as ‘to roll’, ‘to crease’ and ‘to fold’, and treated each as an instruction for making a work. One of his studio assistants then was the American composer Philip Glass, who had worked as a plumber and introduced him to lead. Together they rolled, tore and splashed it across the studio floor. The steel works that followed, best understood on foot, occupied him until his death in 2024, aged 85. Swipe for t Swipe for the highlights of his career.
Reimagining the bathroom as a personal sanctuary, @grohesingapore brought its latest collections from Milan Design Week 2026 to Southeast Asia for one immersive evening at Nai Lert Park in Bangkok. Through three experiential sanctums, the brand explored the relationship between water, design and wellbeing, bringing together architects, interior designers, developers and media for a conversation on the future of luxury, complemented by a dinner by École Ducasse. The result was an intimate exploration of how thoughtful design can transform everyday rituals into moments of restoration.
