Irish-born artist Sean Scully is known for his evocative abstract paintings that are imbued with emotion, poetry, and spirituality. His early “Cut Ground” series, including this 2011 work, Cut Ground Moon, distills aerial views of farmland into intriguing compositions of thick, textured brushstrokes in moody pigments.

In a standout Milan Design Week installation, Hermès debuted a curated assortment for the home. These hand-dyed and hand-spun cashmere throws in blocks of vibrant color were displayed as part of striking, luminous scenography devised by co–artistic directors for home Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry.
