Celebrity Life

Without a foreseeable end to isolation days, entertainment options are thinning out. Fortunately, traditional board games are making a comeback and we can now pursue this old-school pastime once more. Perhaps it’s the lack of human interaction, but a resurgence of physical games in the household is clear. So much so that puzzles and games are now also replacing magnum format coffee table books. Some of our childhood favourites now return as deluxe tabletop entertainment and swanky home décor. Ahead, a few of our luxury favourites to consider.

The post 7 Luxury Board Games That Double as Stunning Home Décor appeared first on Prestige Online - Hong Kong.

Designer Joseph Altuzarra will be the first to admit that he’s an avid Etsy user. The online marketplace is a hub for independent artists who wish to sell their creations to people seeking one-of-a-kind pieces. And while Altuzarra is stocked in almost every high end department store (e-commerce and in store), he’s now teaming up with Etsy to launch his very first interior line, Altuzarra x Etsy Home Collection.

[dual-images right-image-url="https://d2eohwa6gpdg50.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/27203224/altuzarra-tie-dye-pillow.jpg" left-image-url="https://d2eohwa6gpdg50.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/27201212/altuzarra-etsy-vase.jpg" right-caption="Altuzarra x Etsy Silk Tie Dye Pillow Covers " left-caption="Altuzarra x Etsy Stoneware Vases"]

Triggered by the vintage and ceramics he’s come across on Etsy, Altuzarra takes a stab at home décor with designing and marketing his very own collection. Venturing into the world of homeware, the designer partners up with eight Etsy crafters from around the world to produce objects that celebrate individual style. His partners include a California-based ceramicist who was involved in black, white and earth tone vases (of which Altuzarra personally inspected every single rock to ensure a standardised quality); woven placements from New Jersey; and wicker baskets from Israel.

[dual-images right-image-url="https://d2eohwa6gpdg50.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/27202811/altuzarra-etsy-dog-bed.jpg" left-image-url="https://d2eohwa6gpdg50.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/27202802/altuzarra-etsy-dining-table.jpg" right-caption="Altuzarra x Etsy Dog Bed" left-caption="Altuzarra x Etsy Dinner Table"]

The stylish and functional collection, that includes even dog beds and stationery, have been designed with a sustainable element attached to it. The silk tie dye pillow-covers and notebooks are also popular within the collection, using leftover fabric from the Altuzarra's spring summer fashion show in 2016. With that, also a message to other creatives out there who are just starting up and building their own business. As a designer who worked out of his parents’ home before he made it big on the fashion scene, he can relate to budding artists. By way of his collaboration with Etsy creatives, he hopes that this can help pave the way for fashion and design enthusiasts to encourage their work as well as discover new finds.

Prices range from HK$480 to HK$11,280.

Ahead, we've gathered seven luxury items that will enhance a home office situation into one that inspires productivity, and make working from home work for you.

The post 7 Ways to Build a Home Office That Inspires Productivity appeared first on Prestige Online - Hong Kong.

If, like us, you are staying in to practice social distancing --home is your whole world right now. As a result, our favourite streaming sites, including Netflix and HBO, have become our trusty companions in providing some respite from the distressing pandemic news.

And since we're likely to be at home for a while, it seems appropriate to consider enhancing our home theatre experience. Picking up top-notch equipment may play a big part in laying the foundation for an immersive surround sound system, but there are a few other quick tips that can maximise its potential so you can build the best home theatre. Read on for more.

Match your speakers

[caption id="attachment_201546" align="alignnone" width="833"] Bang & Olufsen’s Beosound Balance (Photo: Bang & Olufsen)[/caption]

If you’ve inherited speakers, or if you’ve bought your own from another brand because it seemed like there weren’t enough speakers in the room, you’re doing it wrong. A hodgepodge of old and new speakers from different manufacturers will only downgrade your home theatre. Each speaker brand has its own signature way of interacting with sound.

By having matched speakers throughout the system you can ensure that the sound transitions seamlessly from one speaker to another, resulting in a more realistic, immersive experience. If you need recommendations on speakers that look good and sound good as well, we’d recommend some from Bang & Olufsen and Devialet.

Upgrade your subwoofer

[caption id="attachment_200438" align="alignnone" width="1000"] Bose Bass Module 700 (Photo: Bose)[/caption]

In layman terms, the subwoofer is the one that adds intensity and depth to the sound of your movie: think the intensity from an explosion and the pounding footsteps from Godzilla. Unless you’re the kind of person who solely watches romantic comedies, a good subwoofer really shines in any home theatre. Some brands to consider would be Bose and Klipsch.

Switch up your amplifier

[caption id="attachment_200550" align="alignnone" width="900"] Yamaha CX-A5200 (Photo: Yamaha)[/caption]

The best speakers in the market won’t do your sound justice if your amplifier doesn’t have enough power. Your speakers may not need a whole ton of power very often, but action sequences in movies and wide variations in music dynamics will require power to maintain excellent sound quality.

New homeowners may consider amplifiers with a 5.1 channel setup, just enough for a small to a mid-sized room and can work with most audio formats. Brands like Yamaha and Denon are trusted names that include a wide range of amplifiers.

Rearrange your speakers

[caption id="attachment_200445" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Devialet Phantom Reactor (Photo: Devialet)[/caption]

One of the biggest mistakes that homeowners make is neglecting the speaker placement. As a rule of thumb, don’t place your speakers in the far corners of your room or near the ceiling on top of your cabinet. Every home theatre space is different, and the configuration of your speakers move with your space.

However, in general, your surround speakers are best placed to the left and right side of your screen, angled directly at the couch. In case you don’t have enough space for placing your speakers by the side of your tv, position them a few feet behind your listening position and face them forward.

Create good acoustics

[caption id="attachment_200448" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Baux Acoustic Panels (Photo: Baux)[/caption]

Acoustics play a big part in enhancing your surround sound system. A flat, hard surface of a wall, ceiling or window will result in sound distortion, and you won’t be able to hear the original audio from your speaker. To control this effect, you can soften the hard surfaces in your room so they no longer bounce sound around.

An easy way to do this is by placing drapes or curtains on your windows and installing sound-absorbing panels. A dedicated home theatre would work best with these panels on all your walls, but if you don’t want to embark on such a large project, key areas near the corners of the room would work as well.

It must be great to be a Beckham. David and Victoria Beckham just bought a HK$186 million dollar (US$ 24 million dollars) condo in famed architect Zaha Hadid’s new-completed downtown Miami building, One Thousand Museum. This will be where the Beckhams will reside since David is the new co-owner of Miami’s new MLS team, Inter Miami CF.

In a statement by David’s team, “With the launch of Inter Miami CF, David and his team are spending significant amounts of time in Miami… One Thousand Museum is a very special building and we are excited to join the community there.”

Opened back in August 2019, One Thousand Museum located in Downtown Miami is one of the most coveted properties in the city. The building sees its own private helipad, making it Miami’s single residential building accessible by private airport.

In collaborating with Forbes, the building will provide amenities and hospitality-focused experiences for residents and guests that will compete with some of the most luxe hotels in the world. Amenities such as a Sky Lounge for dining and private events, an on-premise bank vault, a nearby private beach club, wellness center, spa, spin studio, and pools are available to residents. Click through the gallery below to check out the luxe amenities and where the Beckhams will be hanging out soon.

Instead of opting for florals this spring because it isn't exactly groundbreaking, check out Italian designer Paola Navone’s new collection for Ethimo. The range sees a bevy of daybeds, coffee tables, lounge chairs and more. What’s unique about the design is that each piece features unique shapes and slats used as the backrest. The collection is crafted from distressed natural teak, with marble and lava stone slabs for tabletops. To create this collection collection, Navone pulled inspiration from her surroundings and travels in order to create the pieces.

[inline-quote author="Designer, Paola Navone"]"The slats that form the backrest are all different and held together by big metal staples. This woody, organic shell forms a soft nest of cushions. We have dedicated Rafael to a very special home."[/inline-quote]

The chairs and daybeds see a left hand and right-hand design which allows the user to put them side by side to combine them into a single, seamless and bigger piece. The coffee table sees a hexagonal shape with cerulean and ocean-inspired colours landing throughout the designs.

If you’re looking to outfit your outer space with Paola Navone’s collection, you can head to Ethimo’s online shop to order now.

The Residences is also conveniently connected to Esplanade MRT Station and City Hall Interchange.

Besides the prestigious address, the Beach Road-Bugis area around the Residences is slated to become the next tech hub, with the sale of several development sites under the government land sales (GLS) programme and commercial buildings changing hands in recent years. According to reports, the office buildings in the vicinity of South Beach Residences have been attracting MNCs from different industries — PayPal, Expedia, Lego, Facebook, Sanofi to name a few.

The Residences is also only a stone's throw away from many F&B outlets. Think Raffles City, Chjimes, Liang Seah Street and many more. If you’re into the arts, then take a slow stroll towards Esplanade — Theatres on the Bay or the National Gallery of Singapore for a cultural fix. How’s that for convenience?

Because The Residences starts on the 22nd storey and goes all the way up to level 45, every single unit here affords a jaw-dropping panoramic view of the Marina Bay area, Central Business District, Orchard Road shopping belt, and stretches as far as the Kallang/East Coast neighbourhood. Whether you're looking for a 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, 4-bedroom suite or a sprawling penthouse, there's definitely something to suit your needs. But hurry, almost 70 percent of the development has been sold.

[caption id="attachment_191053" align="alignnone" width="1600"] (Image: South Beach Residences)[/caption]

At South Beach Residences, all the living spaces in the penthouses feel even more spacious with abundant natural light streaming in. To add to the impeccable space, every penthouse comes with a refrigerator and wine chiller from Sub-Zero, plus elegant kitchen appliances from Miele. If you’re in the market for a swanky penthouse, you have to act fast. There is only one four-bedroom penthouse available. This unit — designed by celebrity interior maestro Peter Tay —  is the perfect space for those who love entertaining. Luxurious furnishings such as the coffee table from Alto by Commune, &Tradition living floor lamp from Denmark, Wendelbo sofa from Italy as well as Poltrona Frau living armchair from France, were all carefully selected to complement the fittings like steel, silk, and marble that are used throughout his design.

According to Tay, the space is a contemporary one that also evokes a sense of quiet luxury within. The seamless integration of the stunning views outside together with various modern art work makes for a powerful visual impact in the penthouse.

It's official: wallpaper is well and truly back in 2020. And since taste in design, much like fashion, can vastly range from the modest to the maximalist, fashion houses are doing their bit to offer different forms of expression for your interiors.

Inspired by the Art Deco architecture and design of 1930s New York, this geometric design will add the glitz and glamour of that era with ease. The design features diamond shapes fashioned from lines of little light-reflecting beads atop a finely stippled charcoal background. The result is classy, cool and snazzy, all at once.

Christian Dior was one of five children who grew up splitting their time between Paris and the family home on the coast of Normandy, a boy who loved art and would go on to establish one of the most famous French fashion houses in history. His keen sense of style wasn’t limited to women’s clothing, however, as evidenced by the recent launch of the Dior Maison tableware collection and opening of the Dior Maison boutique at 28 Avenue Montaigne in the French capital.

“To an impeccably decorated interior, I will always prefer one that’s more sensitive and spirited, which has gradually developed over time according to the existence and whims of its inhabitant,” Dior wrote in his 1947 autobiography, Dior by Dior. In the designer’s case, those whims extended to plants, flowers, animals and unique 18th-century architecture.

The new collection of table settings, in three styles dubbed Cannage, Muguet and Monsieur Dior, features ginkgo leaves, lily of the valley sprigs and other flowers from the garden of Dior’s country home in Milly-la-Forêt in a sophisticated palette of gold, beige, white and blue. The cannage, or rattan, motif takes centre stage on porcelain plates and glass stemware created by the house’s current artistic director Cordelia de Castellane.

The signature Dior toile de jouy is also reinterpreted with the addition of animals, much like those seen on recent accessories by creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri. The new Paris boutique offers these items and much more, suggesting this is Christian Dior’s world and we’re just living in it.

But of course, this can all be taken away and in fact the original building's layout of five rooms can easily be reinstated, too. A fantastic location and space for both entertaining and privacy, this property is definitely worth keeping your eye on.

Situated on a tree-lined road with other low-rises, this is one for those who enjoy greenery. It also has a beautiful and well-maintained garden and fishpond that feel like they were pulled out of a storybook. What's more, it all feels very secluded with its wooden fences, railings and iron gate that ensure the utmost privacy.
