Opening tonight, May 15 in NYC: Liaigre @liaigre_official presents ‘Arts of Japan’, a new exhibition at Madison Ave showroom in collaboration with Thomsen Gallery @thomsengallery . The exhibition explores the enduring dialogue between Japanese craftsmanship and Liaigre’s refined design language.
Bringing together ceramics, lacquer, bamboo works, painted screens, and works on paper, ‘Arts of Japan’ highlights the quiet power of materiality, restraint, and artisanal mastery—values deeply rooted in both Japanese culture and Liaigre’s philosophy of living.
Curated by Carlos Sicilia @carlos_sicilia , the exhibition features works by renowned artists including Katō Toyohisa, Kyoko Ibe, and Nakajima Hiroshi, alongside historical Japanese decorative arts and folding screens dating back to the 19th century. Installed throughout the showroom, the works create a thoughtful conversation between art, furniture, texture, and space.
For decades, Japanese aesthetics have shaped Liaigre’s identity through an emphasis on serenity, proportion, tactility, and timeless craftsmanship. Arts of Japan continues the house’s exploration of art, craft, and interior architecture through immersive exhibitions that blur the line between collectible design and living environments.

Michelle Rago has announced the official 2026 launch of A Curated Table, a new global dining and hospitality series created in partnership with Belmond, LVMH’s luxury hospitality brand. Following its inaugural debut at Maroma, A Belmond Hotel in Riviera Maya, the series will expand across Europe, the Caribbean, and the United States with immersive culinary experiences that bring together celebrated chefs, local artisans, and destination-inspired design.
Designed as a traveling cultural series, A Curated Table will bring together acclaimed chefs, artisans, designers, and cultural figures for intimate gatherings at some of Belmond’s most iconic properties.
“A Curated Table is an extension of how I’ve always approached celebration - not as a single meal or event, but as a narrative that unfolds through place, people, and shared experience,” said Michelle Rago.
The series will continue throughout 2026 with new editions planned across Italy, Mexico, the Caribbean, and New York, including a private salon dinner hosted at Michelle Rago’s residence featuring Chef Armando Aristarco of Caruso, A Belmond Hotel on the Amalfi Coast.

Step into a quieter side of Mykonos.
On April 30, Omeon Mykonos introduces to the island a new design-led retreat shaped by quiet luxury, where architecture, atmosphere, and intention come together to create a slower, more refined experience of the island. Set in Agios Stefanos, the property offers proximity to Mykonos’ energy while preserving a sense of calm and privacy.
Across its 38 rooms and suites, natural materials, softened forms, and open-air transitions reflect a contemporary take on Cycladic living. Sea-facing terraces, private pools, and expansive views of the Aegean redefine space as a form of luxury.
At the heart of Omeon lies its destination spa, where wellness is not an addition, but an integral rhythm of the experience, unfolding through movement, ritual, and sensory design. From sunrise rituals to late evenings by the water, every moment is shaped by a sense of balance, intention, and ease.

Lopota’s newly reimagined Gift Shop introduces a refined retail concept shaped by nature, craftsmanship, and quiet immersion. Designed as an extension of the surrounding landscape, the space brings together handcrafted pieces, natural flavours, and objects created at Lopota or exclusively for the resort.
Set within Lopota Lake Resort & Spa in Eastern Georgia’s Kakheti region, the resort is framed by the Caucasus Mountains and centred around its private lake. Known for its winery, destination restaurants, forest spa, equestrian facilities, and seasonal outdoor experiences, Lopota has become a place where hospitality and landscape exist in seamless dialogue.
The Gift Shop reflects this philosophy through natural materials, reflective surfaces, and a palette drawn from the lake itself—creating an atmosphere that feels both grounded and fluid. Each detail has been considered to echo the calm, authenticity, and sense of place that define the wider resort experience.
As Lopota continues to evolve its cultural and lifestyle offering, the renewed Gift Shop marks another step in shaping a destination where design, nature, and Georgian hospitality meet.
