Sneakers That Channel Venetian Textiles

A new boutique hotel named Moore Miami has emerged from a renovation of a neoclassical structure, featuring a restaurant and private club alongside a 13-room hotel that is set to open on October 14. The hotel’s living spaces are designed with honeyed oak veneer paneling and feature furniture by renowned designer Patricia Urquiola, as well as tables and chairs crafted in Brazil by Sossego. This development highlights a growing trend in the hospitality industry towards creating unique, design-focused accommodations. In addition to the hotel, the publication discusses a collaboration between Smith-Brown and Elise Grace Wilken, the founder of Mellow, a ceramics studio. They have created a handmade vase adorned with Mellow’s signature checkered print, available for $195. This vase is intended to be a lasting heirloom piece that complements a flower subscription service, which is limited to the New York City area but allows vase delivery across the U.S. The article also introduces Le Monde Beryl, a brand that is expanding into the sneaker market. Co-founders Lily Atherton Hanbury and Katya Shyfrin emphasize that their sneakers align with the brand's design ethos, focusing on freedom of movement and functionality. Their signature velvet tiger pattern, previously used in slippers and Mary Janes, is now being incorporated into their sneaker designs. Overall, the publication highlights innovative design in both hospitality and fashion, showcasing how brands are responding to consumer desires for unique, functional, and aesthetically pleasing products and experiences.
