Here at Wallpaper*, we’re all in favour of an urbane urban
existence; it’s just that we don’t see why it always has
to take place in the same city. A lavender-scented terrace overlooking
Lisbon is as much a fixture of our idle daydreams as a fixer-upper
in Le Flon or a 1960’s bungalow in Bergen. So truly global has
modern design design become, there’s now no excuse for not living
in some style, wherever you happen to be. But, because not all showrooms
are created equal and because these days it might, in fact, be easier
to track down something in Melbourne than in Milan, we’ve done
the hard work for you, rounding up both our favorite manufacturers,
as well as a selection of our stores of choice – modern and vintage,
local and international – and packaging them into this: our first
portable Global Interiors Directory.

a Venezuelan-born lighting designer.”
