Milan Design week is upon us once again and every year I look forward to gallery’s installation with great anticipation. Here are some of their archives from past years. Stay tuned for Noda’s curated must see next week. We r heading to Milan this weekend 🤘

Sugar Rooms is a boutique hotel designed by none other than the talented Roberto Baciocchi in the heart of Arezzo , a small jewel of hospitality in a mansion dating back to the 1700s that once belonged to a noble Lombardi family and still has original details, like mosaic tiles from the 1st century A.D. To find it, follow the faint glow of a neon sign, turn left down an alleyway, climb a stone staircase—and you’ve arrived. In the fifteen rooms the story remains in the fragments of frescoes and in the wooden ceilings. Inside, another labyrinth awaits: Quiet corridors connect 15 rooms, each revealing a new surprise—heavy velvet drapes replace internal walls; mirrored bathrooms create a dizzying optical illusion; and jewel-toned ottomans contrast with the faded frescoes. The space is both traditional and ultramodern, a hallmark of Roberto Baciocchi, the renowned architect behind Prada’s global stores and a master of reimagining old buildings.

Once they removed layer after layer of paint, they found hand-painted frescoes detailing everyday scenery in Arezzo. One critical element that’s so nice in an old building like this is the architect’s ability to artfully manipulate light, concealing bulbs behind glass and drapes to emit a warm glow and enhance a fabric’s luster and texture—from Milanese velvet to linen and cotton. That sense of drama continues in the vanity and shower areas, where exposed washbasins, made from a single block of unpolished marble, and curved backlit mirrors could pass for works of art. Despite its many contrasts—ancient yet futuristic, raw and textural but polished and sleek—Sugar Rooms neatly folds into itself like a set of nesting interiors just waiting to be explored. My favourite has to be the walls that had been restored and kept the way it is, something that’s so important in keeping the soul of the building within - just like what Baciocchi said “Every building I work on is different and has a spirit of its own, the walls themselves suggest the way to intervene.”

The Inky Dhow collection by Bethan Gray a UK based design studio and was featured during design week this year in Milano at the showroom. Someone who shares the same passions as me in patterns, travels and colours. 🤓

has an extraordinary background: born to a Scottish father and Welsh mother, her maternal family descends from a nomadic Rajasthani clan that migrated across Arabia and Persia over centuries. Inspired by her heritage, and fuelled by a deep-seated curiosity about global art and culture, Bethan has travelled to India, Asia, the Middle East, Northern Africa and South America.

‘My Grandmother was a Romani Gypsy. I was brought up to be proud of my roots and open to other cultures – that is why I love travelling so much.’.

Happy Friday dump - some of the beautiful things I’ve seen the past few months this year during trade shows in various places. Enjoy and happy Friyay!

Lee Broom’s Divine Inspiration collection that was featured during Milan Design week was nothing short of ethereal and sublime.
The Requim series shown here is a limited series of pieces sculpted by Broom's own hand in his London factory. The collection takes inspiration from the marble drapery on ancient statues and sepulchral sculptures. Each piece appears weightless and fluid but is solid in form, made by hand-draping fabrics in plaster through and around illuminated glass. These ghostly forms are then sculpted with more plaster into their final shape and set until solid. The effect is one of fragile drapery that appears to capture a floating light source. To celebrate the 15-year anniversary of Lee Broom, the designer will hand-make only 15 of each of the four limited edition Requiem designs.

Never have I taken a luxury train before and it’s on my bucket list. Meet the The Bar Car "3674", the social hub of the legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Are you ready to go back to the 1920s? Enter a world of timeless glamour, where each carriage holds a new experience to be discovered. Be wined and dined in meticulously restored 1920s dining cars, before raising sparkling toasts in the iconic Bar Car '3674'. Between plush cabins and palpable history, an astonishing journey awaits. Sounds like a dream and a movie rolled in one? I’m not done…..
As the day fades, the golden light of sunset fills each carriage and a convivial atmosphere sweeps the train. The unmistakable chime and c***k of mixing cocktails floats from the bar car, carried from carriage-to-carriage by stewards in blue. Negronis, martinis, spritzes, sours. All manner of spirit and fortified wine. The centrepiece of the grand adventure has to be the dinner. Brace yourself for Chef Jean Imbert’s extravagant table d'hôte menu that harks back to the majesty of travel’s golden age. You’ll never eat quite like it again. When dinner is over, it’s time for the evening to really begin. Follow the sound of the grand piano to the bar car, where you’ll encounter the resident pianist setting the tone while classically trained barmen shake fresh cocktails.

Who’s coming with me???
