If you happen to be sitting next to Dorothée Meilichzon, Axel Vervoordt, or Kelly Wearstler, could you please pass them this note? We're looking to hire a Head of Interior Design. Someone with a real knack for making things like a 400-unit building lobby in NYC feel like a slow Sunday morning in Saint-Rémy. For those unfamiliar, Flow has multiple properties around the globe, and more coming soon, so we need to bring someone onto the team who would like to help us design, build, and grow them all. Large residential buildings, hotels, and coffee shops are all part of the mix. We just so happen to be the crew who gets to support by providing a rather nice-looking publication occasionally for these spots, but wouldn't it be fun if you knew someone who could help design or pick out the coffee table that the magazine goes on? That'd be something. Pass 'em this note, tell 'em that their future co-workers will share our top secret margarita and chocolate chip cookies recipe with them if they design us a cool speakeasy bar in one of the buildings. The links to apply and learn more are here and here.
Something to smell. Smoky late-night walk and tree-lined canals.
Best Seat in the House
Sitting is important. Maybe even more important when the seat in question is called the “Sitzmaschine.” Very to-the-point designers back in 1905, but you gotta hand it to ‘em for their part in changing the world one chair at a time.
Spotlight: Regina Experimental
One of the better hotels out there happens to be in the French Basque Country: Regina Experimental. Think Belle Époque building meets Japanese and neo-Basque interiors, meets 1950s coastal Europe. A summer getaway, if we ever knew one, from the beautiful brain of architect Dorothée Meilichzon. Biar-right there.
Mother Nature’s Co-op
We could get on board with Jon Cutler’s philosophy: “To never harm natural life through his work, but instead to foster and encourage it.” A thought process that led to this unique space that works with, not against nature, that probably has a big tree growing in the middle of the living room. Cue the woodland creatures and faeries.
