My monthly spread in LGBTQ magazine QX. Talking about peppermint boxers, shaving and fun jewelry. This month’s no, no, no - apparently there are rights and wrongs for tucking your t-shirt nowadays. You should fold it in - not just tuck.

Where to put the soap? Or your rings? Of course a new shelf next to the faucet. Pretty nice. At Grohe.

This was new. A faucet with water for your face. Strange - but new. By Hans Grohe.

Bathtub by Karim Rashid. Doesn’t it look like a space pod from the movie Aliens???

New colour palette from paint company Klint. Personally, I feel this is more 2027 than 2025. Future proof??

Preview from Milan 1.

Four weeks to go for the largest design event in the world. The fair Salone del Mobile and the events in town called Fuorisalone. My plan is to do four previews for some fun things, so that you know what to look for. I will of course be there and write for magazines like Elle Decoration (Sweden) and Residence. @isaloniofficial

So, first batch of nice things.

1. Looks like Danish Georg Jensen wants to repeat what Marimekko did last year and open a temporary cafe. Looks nice. @georgjensen

2. New chairs by Alessandro Stabile for Zilio. @zilioaec

3. Frederic’s Biasi is on my radar. Here new tiles for Decoratori Bassanesi. @federicabiasistudio

4. Colour lovers at Draga & Aurel. Here they upcycle old vintage pieces from the 70s. @dragaandaurel

5. Established&Sons are back, back, back again. Here a new lamp from Nao Tamura. @establishedandsons

6. Isola Design District was eclectic last year. Lots of sustainability. Here is Yosuke Shimano. @isola.design @yosuke_shimano

7. And 8. I just liked this aesthetic. Looks super new. Especially the chair. I was emailing with the designer and everything is carved in wood. Amazing. By Arno Hoogland at Isola. @arnohoogland

9. I think I have seen this before - but still lovely. At Isola by Atelier Maree. @atelier_maree

10. Marimekko will do a collaboration with Laila Gohar. Woop woop. Super excited. @marimekko @lailacooks

11. Vladislav Tolochko for Potocco. @potocco_italy @tolochko.dsgn

12. Lara Bohinc for Uniqka. Loooook at that leather finish. Super strange and new. Love. @larabohinc @uniqka
