The 50 States Project is a yearlong series of candid conversations with interior designers we admire, state by state. Today, we catch up with Jeremy Bauer and Jason Clifton, Midwesterners who met in Juneau, Alaska, and launched their firm, Bauer/Clifton Interiors, in 2006. (Clifton also recently became the new president of the Interior Design Society.) They discuss how far design in Alaska has come, the story behind their new floral studio, and why doing business way up north takes commitment.

Ikea is constantly testing the boundaries for where and how people want to shop for its endless supply of home goods. Last year, it opened a series of small-format stores in New York, Paris, and London that function more like showrooms than the company’s pick-up-and-go big box stores that sit on the outskirts of cities. Now, the Swedish company is planning a new store in Vienna that takes the idea of an urban shopping experience to its logical extreme. Located in the Austrian capital’s Westbahnhof Station, the store will cater to urban dwellers who take public transportation.

Located among a strip of buildings that form the edge of the village of Odi, the Saint Hotel steps down on a cliff by the sea.
Each level has unobstructed views out to the island's volcanic bay, with rooms dug into the steep hillside.

Feels like a spa, works like a gym. That catchphrase is embodied in Shelter, a multifunctional center occupying a two-story building in one of Sydney's harborside suburbs. In addition to a generous changing area, the 2,150-square-foot shedlike structure designed by Esoteriko had to accommodate four distinct programs: exercise facilities, ice baths, saunas, and a juice bar. The firm’s approach was a simple organization of spaces—defined by screens rather than walls for openness but some privacy—with a restrained and carefully considered materials palette.

When designing the new interior of the “IoT Center” for a global management consultancy’s Tokyo office, nendo dove into the digital world. In addition to the typical workspaces and conference rooms, the Roppongi office houses three galleries and a lounge where new digital technologies are put on display and a multipurpose space for seminars and events. Instead of using typical partitions to divide the spaces, nendo designed transparent glass walls infused with binary code, i.e. the “0”s and “1”s computers use to write and store data.

Coinciding with the spring edition of Maison&Objet Paris, Virgil Abloh has designed a 20-piece furniture collection for Galerie kreo, comprising round and coffee tables, consoles, seats, vases, and mirrors. The project is titled ‘Efflorescence’, a word that refers to the migration of a salt to the surface of a porous material, where it forms a coating. In French, the word means ‘to flower out’, a seemingly paradoxical title for what appears at first to be series of solid and weighty objects.

Cement, concrete, and black steel merge to form the Brutalist-inspired interiors of this Sri Lankan restaurant in Soho, London, which Dan Preston Studio has dotted with tropical details.
Paradise–which formerly housed another eatery–is located on Soho's busy Rupert Street and measures just 51-square-meters. Designer Dan Preston was asked by the restaurant's owners to refurbish the space and create an interior that recalls the urban bistros seen in the Sri Lankan cities of Colombo and Galle, and their dusk-til-dawn food culture.

Digital technology is integrated into nearly every aspect of the workplace, completely altering workflows. Journalists, previously armed with a notepad and pen in their pocket protector, are now jotting notes on their phones—a gesture that older generations can misread as being inattentive. At a recent panel at Haworth’s New York showroom, speakers discussed technology’s impact on the office and how designers can optimize spaces to better engage employees and shape workplace culture.

It wasn’t that long ago that Instagram was flooded with saturated filters and low-resolution photos. But then the gaudy, maximalist look of the 2000s faded out of style and was replaced with an interest in clean lines and mature color palettes. Seemingly overnight, the platform became an ode to minimalism—filled with interior design and lifestyle posts from influencers anchored by organic, nautilus-shaped forms and eggshell-colored walls. Everything on the grid was carefully curated to be monochromatic, uncluttered, and uniform.

We all have a story about the time a doctor was cold and aloof during a sensitive, perhaps even life-altering exchange. Fortunately, most of us can also remember at least one encounter with a highly competent doctor who put the lie to the idea that emotions have no place in the patient-physician relationship. After receiving care of this nature, we wonder why all doctors can’t make the same effort. Researchers who have studied what empathy can do for patients are asking the same question, especially now that we know that doctors who are highly empathetic have better patient outcomes, and a stronger sense of personal wellbeing as physicians. They even may be less likely to be sued.
