"Alright, let's just see what comes out." ⁠ ⁠ This is literally how Sightline started. Not with a strategy deck, but a fire in @dana.tomic.hughes ' belly a few months ago, and the hope that what she had to say would matter to someone.⁠ ⁠ Turns out it mattered to a lot of someones.⁠ ⁠ (And yeah—she totally cried in the end. But so did some people in the audience.)⁠

✍🏼 Notes from Milan Design Week 2026. Sixteen years on, returning alone to the city that taught me what to look for and how to see 👁️ I came home thinking about the gap between what people will say in public and what they’ll say in private — and what that gap means for design as a creative discipline. Read the full essay on what I saw through this lens. Link in bio @dana.tomic.hughes @yellowtrace 💥

Yes, we were a bit late to share this one. No, we’re not sorry — so we're sharing it again, cause it's fkn gewd! ⁠ ⁠ Central Brisbane by @j.ar.office spins Cantonese flavour through a corporate-core Hong Kong lens—downstairs, all drama: illuminated canopy, moody edges, dining as theatre. Save for “how to do tension + glow.” ✨⁠ ⁠ 📸 @davidchatfield.studio ⁠ ⁠ #YellowtraceArchives⁠ #YellowtraceInteriors⁠ #YellowtraceHospitality⁠ #YellowtraceInAus⁠

⁠If the home is where we go to reset, rest and take respite from the sheer pace of everyday life, then the Anywhere Apartment by @bradswartzarchitects ⁠ has managed to capture its purpose perfectly. Made up of a beach-based palette of honest materials and cool, clean stainless steel joinery elements, this bijou 50sqm home a slight nod to its neighbourhood but without adopting its character entirely, proving that no space is too small and that quality will always trump quantity when it comes to considered and cool designs.⁠ ⁠ Explore more via the 🔗 in our bio ✨⁠ ⁠ Photography: @_clintonweaver ⁠ Editorial Styling: @atelier_roomonfire ⁠ Builder: @mobiusbuild ⁠ Joinery: @ethanjamesandco ⁠ ⁠ #YellowtraceArchives⁠ #YellowtraceInteriors⁠ #YellowtraceResidential⁠ #YellowtraceInAus⁠ ⁠

Valencia meets Tokyo at Sornells 21 🏯✨ — the new shared studio from @palomabaustudio and @tot.studio in Ruzafa. White ceramic tiles, a ceiling mirror that blurs street and studio, and a bespoke Noren-inspired light above a 7m long communal table. ⁠ ⁠ Full story via 🔗 in bio⁠ ⁠ 📸 @david_zarzoso ⁠ ⁠ #YellowtraceInteriors⁠ #YellowtraceCommercial⁠ #YellowtraceInSpain

What does Berghain look like when it lands in the Swiss Alps? Honestly, something like this. 🏔️🖤 @studio.karhard 's Play is embedded within Chalet African—an extraordinary Gstaad chalet by @kerefrancis —and it's as precise, tactile, and atmospherically charged as everything the Berlin studio touches. No rustic clichés. No predictable luxury codes. Just an original nocturnal interior that couldn't exist anywhere else. ⁠ ⁠ Here we explore some of the epic details. ⁠For the full project tour, head to Yellowtrace 🔗⁠ ⁠ Creative director @nachson_ ⁠ DJ booth @ousmanembaye_design ⁠ Bowling alley painting @victorekpuk ⁠ Staircase pendant @iniarchibong ⁠ Photography @robertrieger ⁠ ⁠ #YellowtraceInteriors⁠ #YellowtraceHospitality⁠ #YellowtraceInSwitzerland⁠

Founding director of @puntozero_architetti Giorgio Marchese's own home in Rome’s Oppian Hill sits in a building dating back to the 1900s. The design studio transformed the classic linear plan through new volumes and unexpected elements—all while staying true to the soul of the original space.

Marcin Czopek of @mistovia has transformed a 69sqm pre-war Warsaw apartment that preserves original elements like herringbone timber floors and brass handles while introducing modern materials, including marble countertops and designer furniture. Distinctive touches abound: 1930s ceramic "gorset tiles," built-in cabinetry in soft pink and curry tones, and a considered lighting scheme 👌 ⁠ ⁠ Explore more via the 🔗 in our bio ✨⁠ ⁠ 📷 @onistories ⁠ ⁠ #YellowtraceArchives⁠ #YellowtraceInteriors⁠ #YellowtraceResidential⁠ #YellowtraceInPoland⁠

@studio.karhard has taken its club DNA—honed across decades of nightlife design, including Berlin's legendary Berghain—and transported it to the Swiss Alps. Play at @kerefrancis -designed Chalet African is a nocturnal laboratory where architecture, light, and sound form a single mutable instrument. ⁠ ⁠ Dancefloor, DJ booth, bar, fireplace lounge, bowling alley, billiard table: the brief was ambitious, and Studio Karhard met it with a spatial intelligence that feels anything but private-party predictable.⁠ ⁠ See the full project tour up on Yellowtrace now 🔗⁠ ⁠ Creative director @nachson_ ⁠ DJ booth @ousmanembaye_design ⁠ Bowling alley painting @victorekpuk ⁠ Staircase pendant @iniarchibong ⁠ Photography @robertrieger ⁠ ⁠ #YellowtraceInteriors⁠ #YellowtraceHospitality⁠ #YellowtraceInSwitzerland⁠

Margesherwood's first flagship store in Seoul's Seongdong-gu district isn't really a shop in any conventional sense. Designed by @_uneg , the two-storey space translates the Korean accessories brand's archive-driven sensibility into spatial language. Metal surfaces, reclaimed wood, courtyard landscaping, and a display-lined central staircase establish a restrained architectural framework—one built to evolve with a rotating programme of conceptual installations. 🐌✨ ⁠ ⁠ See the full tour up on Yellowtrace now 🔗⁠ ⁠ 📸 @hshm2357 ⁠ ⁠ #YellowtraceInteriors⁠ #YellowtraceRetail⁠ #YellowtraceInKorea⁠
