This year's Paris Design Week explores desirable lifestyles

July 29, 2021July 29, 20211 min read

Dezeen promotion: Parisian galleries, showrooms and boutiques will open their doors for Paris Design Week from 9-18 September.

The 10-day event will host exhibitions, workshops and discussions surrounding a range of design disciplines, including fashion, homeware and interiors.

This year the event has adopted the same theme as the biannual Parisian interior design show Maison & Objet – “desirable development”.

The show will aim to explore objects that represent designers’ visions of what makes a desirable lifestyle in light of the changes the coronavirus pandemic has brought.

Although Maison & Objet was a digital event in 2020, it will return physically this year from 9-13 September, and like Paris Design Week which was an in-person event in 2020, it will exhibit previously unseen collections from across the globe.

Best ice cream makers – for gelato, sorbet, and homemade ice cream

July 28, 20211 min read

The best ice cream maker will be an invaluable toy this summer, with self-freezing and freezer bowl options at every budget. While many ice cream makers are best suited to making gelato, some can also be used to make frozen yoghurt, vegan ice cream, and even sorbet.

Many of these ice cream makers are freestanding, but some can simply be slotted into a stand mixer for some added multi-functionality.

“The garments tell the story of a journey of recognition — in which Telfar saw the roots of his design DNA all around him in the streets of a country with a history deeply entwined with America’s own,” the designers told Dezeen.… Read more
