The Artful Life: 6 Things Galerie Editors Love This Week

1. Palm Beach Welcomes Its First Intracoastal Waterfront Restaurant, Courtesy of Famed Hamptons Restaurateurs

Just as the jet set takes up residence in Palm Beach for the season, a spectacular new waterfront restaurant opens its doors, offering epicureans tantalizing meals in the city’s first dining establishment on the Intracoastal. Helmed by Gianpaolo de Felice and Gabby Karan de Felice, whose Tutto il Giorno Restaurant Group oversees multiple locations in The Hamptons, Tutto Mare serves coastal Mediterranean cuisine, like fritto misto, insalata di mare, and paccheri con frutti di mare by Executive Chef Agostino Petrosino and Chef de Cuisine Carmine Nozzolino. The interiors, crafted by Gabby and Donna Karan in collaboration with Dominic Kozerski and Enrico Bonetti of Bonetti Kozerski Architecture, draw influence from the restaurant’s setting within The Playhouse at Royal Poinciana Plaza, marrying soft, warm materials like oak, travertine, and teak with cinematic details like a dazzling 1950s trompe l’oeil mural. Done by New York artist Robert Bushnell, the intricate artwork, entitled Venetian Festival, features caricatures of more 100 of the era’s leading celebrities who frequented the original property, including Clark Gable, Joan Crawford, and Fred Astaire.

“With Tutto Mare, we wanted to honor the rich history of the Playhouse while introducing our vision of coastal Mediterranean dining to Palm Beach,” says Gabby of the restaurant, which also boasts a bar, a private dining room, two wine rooms, and a 1,200-square-foot terrace overlooking Lake Worth Lagoon and Palm Harbor Marina. “With a vision to create an atmosphere that feels both chic and welcoming, we drew inspiration from my travels and blended the relaxed elegance of the Hamptons with Palm Beach’s distinctive character. The end result is a space where the community can gather, celebrate good food and wine, and embrace the art of living well.”—Jill Sieracki

2. Tiffany & Co. Presents the New Tiffany Timer in Honor of the 160th Anniversary of the House’s First Chronograph

This week, Tiffany & Co. debuts the Tiffany Timer, a handsome, limited-edition timepiece honoring the 160th anniversary of the house’s first chronograph. Unveiled at LVMH Watch Week in Milan, this 40mm polished platinum creation is limited to just 60 pieces and is a beautiful example of tonal harmony, pairing a lacquer dial rendered in the house’s signature Tiffany Blue with baguette-cut diamond hour markers. While the house may be best known for its elegant, diamond-encrusted dress and jewelry watches, this version is decidedly more sporty but with a Tiffany twist. The design details draw directly from the brand’s jewelry icons; the faceted crown mimics the legendary six-pronged Tiffany® Setting, while the sapphire case-back reveals a whimsical secret: Perched upon the open-worked rotor–which powers a customized El Primero 400 movement—is a recreation of the house’s famed Bird on a Rock motif, hand-sculpted from a piece of solid 18-karat gold. Eyecatching and bold, it is a rare blend of high-jewelry savoir-faire and technical watchmaking expertise.—Lucy Rees

3. Monument, a Stronghold of Archival Design, Expands in East London

Leah Forsyth-Steel and Victoria Spicer met through a shared fascination with unconventional furniture and objects, a fixation that carried the New Zealanders all the way to London, where they founded Monument in 2020 as a focused platform for rare archival works. The gallery recently entered a new chapter with a significantly expanded home in Leyton that will house its growing holdings and to support a broader program of viewings and collaborations. Presiding within is a tightly curated array of furniture, lighting, and sculpture from the 1980s and ’90s inspired by the German avant-garde and the pared-back rigor of late-century minimalism. The duo has a knack for unearthing bold, often unattributed pieces with pronounced sculptural presence in rough-hewn materials that depart from traditional British interiors. Many of these anonymous works easily hold their own alongside luminaries the gallery presents such as Philippe Starck, Ron Arad, and Michel Hoppé. Alongside bimonthly exhibitions of archival works, Monument will also host private viewings, foster artist collaborations, and occasionally open to the public so visitors can explore the collection at their own pace. —Ryan Waddoups 

4. Giorgio Armani and Alanui Introduce a Chic Travel-Inspired Cardigan for Autumn/Winter 2026/27

Giorgio Armani and Alanui have come together over a shared passion for travel to introduce a shawl-collar cardigan for the Autumn/Winter 2026/27 collection. Alanui, founded by siblings Carlotta Oddi and Nicolò Oddi, is inspired by the Hawaiian term for long journey, which is reimagined through the Armani vision for the collection. Available in shades of blue, light blue, and amethyst, the capsule collection will be in select stores beginning late February.—Alexandria Sillo

5. Cassina Unveils Outdoor Collections with Patricia Urquiola, Gaetano Pesce, Rodolfo Dordoni

Just the idea of a spring thaw has people envisioning languid days on the terrace or delightful garden parties. For those looking to do a refresh of their outdoor areas, Cassina has introduced a multitude of new collections by their roster of inspired talents. Brand art director and Galerie Creative Mind Patricia Urquiola presents Vidalenta, furniture for exterior living and dining areas, encompassing modern seating comprised of plush padding on sleek metal tubing and tables topped with travertine, enameled glass, or iroko wood. Meanwhile, long-time collaborator Rodolfo Dordoni translates his circa 2008 indoor collection Eloro for the outdoors, now rendered in weather-resistant iroko and water-repellent cushions. Drawn from the company archives, the Dalila chairs by Gaetano Pesce translates a 1980 design into a sculptural seating option, available in four distinct colorways.—J.S.

6. Meditative Altars Crafted from Volcanic Stone Debut at Fairfax Dorn Projects

Interest continues to grow in carving out space for reflection and spiritual practice at home. To that effect, Vestali Altars is debuting in partnership with Fairfax Dorn Projects as a collection of sculptural altars conceived by Vestali Studio and astrologer Rose Theodora. The launch centers on the limited-edition Alchemy of Metals Altar, crafted from black volcanic stone hewn and polished to a monolithic finish. Its surface features three carved depressions that support the use of fire, water, spirits, herbs, oils, and sacred smoke, whether through the placement of candles, incisive, live florals, matches, or other related objects. Seven sculptural metals align with the classical planets, each brass element finished through an ancient Egyptian polishing technique and forged during its planetary hour. “This collaboration is an incredible opportunity to restore an ancient and foundational object—the altar—and offer a tactile conduit between primordial knowledge and modern ritual practice,” Theodora says. “The Alchemy of Metals Altar fulfills an essential desire: for enduring form and personalized sanctuary inviting introspection, meditation, and transformation.” —R.W.
