    Southern Guild Toasts New Beginnings

    On August 31, interior design firm Argyle Design hosted an intimate dinner to celebrate Southern Guild’s expansion to the United States. A stalwart within South Africa’s fine art and collectible design sphere, the Cape Town–based gallery recently announced it will open a new location on Western Avenue in Hollywood next year. To celebrate the new beginnings, Argyle co-founders Kat Bell and James Drew—along with Southern Guild’s Trevyn and Julian McGowan—hosted an evening soirée at the former’s residence in Los Angeles, where guests enjoyed food by pop-up dinner series Eclair founder Alex Bolar and vintage Cap Classique by South African label Krone. Notable guests in attendance included Nikolai Haas, Djuna Bel-Rowe, Mark Quinn, Jacqueline Rabun, Mary Ping, Richard Petit, Akua Shabaka, and more. Photos by Nick Lindell-Wright.

    Designer of the Day: Gabriel Tan

    A former navy man who found his calling in industrial design, Gabriel Tan started out by founding Outofstock Design with his three best friends before launching his namesake studio and relocating from Singapore to Porto. He works tirelessly to redefine existing archetypes and hone a sensitivity to details while honoring craftsmanship, an approach that has beckoned prestigious brands like B&B Italia, Design Within Reach, Audo Copenhagen, and Blå Station for collaborations. His latest, for Herman Miller, is perhaps his biggest milestone: Pangaea-inspired tables and plush sofas mimicking the shapes of boxing gloves and Japanese “Shikibuton” futons.

    Designer of the Day: Gunilla Zamboni

    One look at the exuberant wall coverings designed by Gupica founder Gunilla Zamboni and it’s no surprise to learn the Bologna-based talent cut her teeth studying fresco and mural painting in Versailles. Well-versed with how color and graphics influence the perception of space, she wields that painterly approach to dial into design’s emotional dimension when dreaming up mesmerizing luminaires, eye-catching glass accessories, and everything in between.
