In 2024, designer Pierre Yovanovitch acquired Ecart International, the brand Andrée Putman created in 1978 to reissue important works of design. In this weeks’ edition of The Grand Tourist Curator, writer Lila Allen (@lilerr ) sits down with @pierre.yovanovitch and Ecart CEO @cedric_a_morisset to discuss their vision ahead of the reissue of three chairs by French architect Robert Mallet-Stevens. “Historic as the brand is, the Frenchman is determined not to freeze Ecart in time,” she finds.

In this week’s Curator newsletter from @thegrandtouristpodcast by @danrubinstein , contributor @melissastroll explores a new generation of globally minded, design-forward eateries in Milan, including @altatto_ , as well as @signor_lievito by baker @natalianiki with a design by @hannespeer (both shown here). “After Covid, local chefs shifted focus, cooking with an emphasis on something not so Milanese: informality,” Feldman writes. “Casual meals with lighter, brighter dishes are everywhere now, and sustainability has become a frequent topic. Pasta is no longer expected.” Read the story online and sign up for the Curator; link in bio.

On this weeks’ Curator newsletter from @thegrandtouristpodcast , @becky_sunshine discovers design’s new mood in the Swiss Alps, including spots such as @thebrecon and @grandhotelbelvedere . “The Swiss have known the magic of this region forever, of course, but for the rest of us, the Bernese Oberland still carries a sense of discovery. Maybe it’s the scale—the Jungfrau, the Eiger, the monolithic quiet of the forests—but part of its charm lies in contradiction. It’s dramatic, but discreet. Vast, yet strangely intimate,” she writes. “And in the past few years, something else has been happening: a gentle recalibration of how this landscape holds its visitors.” Link in bio.

Life may move faster than ever, but when it comes to travel we all yearn to slow down and experience the ride.
