The Artful Life: 8 Things Galerie Editors Love This Week

1. Jean Liu Crafts an Art-Filled Private Aviation Terminal at Dallas Fort Worth

Even travelers with elite airline status can be caught in the quagmire of a major terminal, with major hubs buzzing with the frenetic energy of security, gate changes, and subpar airport food. However, the private luxury terminal PS is changing that with a more tranquil gateway to commercial travel. Launched in Los Angeles with a subsequent location in Atlanta, the service just debuted its third location in Dallas-Fort Worth, designed by celebrated interiors expert Jean Liu. “We leaned into the notion of southern hospitality for this project,” says Liu. “As much as possible, we pushed the envelope to incorporate residential elements to truly make this feel like stepping into someone’s home.”

Located within a 12,200-square-foot gated facility adjacent to the airport’s Corporate Aviation area, PS at Dallas Fort Worth ushers guests through a private security screening process into the upscale lounge that includes chef-prepared cuisine and spa services. The Salon offers a convivial gathering area with a 40-foot bar while private suites allow for even more intimate accommodations. Throughout, artworks curated by Creative Art Partners further add to the residential-style atmosphere. Says Liu, “PS DFW is designed to be warm, elevated, and welcoming for everyone passing through.”—Jill Sieracki

2. Daniel Brush’s Wearable Masterpieces Go On View in Paris

A large-scale exhibition dedicated to the artful jewels, sculptural pieces, and paintings created by late American artist Daniel Brush is now on view at L’ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts, supported by Van Cleef & Arpels, in Paris. Open through October 4, the massive showcase features more than 75 of the artist’s creations, many of which have never left his New York studio. “This second L’ÉCOLE exhibition in Paris dedicated to Daniel Brush is of an unprecedented scale,” Élise Gonnet-Pon, managing director of L’ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts, France, & Europe, said. “We are thrilled to feature some rare pieces never displayed to the public, works of impressive artistry. The monograph and our curated cultural program pay tribute to his one-of-a-kind way of shaping metals, which goes beyond boundaries. With this new exhibition, we hope to enchant and surprise our visitors.” Curated by his wife and collaborator, Olivia Brush, with jewelry historian Vivienne Becker, the exhibition does not unfold in chronological order, nor is it organized by theme to best demonstrate how Brush was able to blend art and jewelry together. Ultimately, “Daniel Brush, the Art of Line and Light,” asks the viewer, does jewelry have to be worn?—Alexandria Sillo

3. La Marzocco and Frescobal Carioca Put a Fashionable Twist on Coffee Culture

In a perfect marriage of Italian craftsmanship and Brazilian style, the esteemed espresso maker La Marzocco has partnered with beach-inspired, Rio de Janeiro resortwear line Frescobal Carioca for a special capsule collection. Timed to Pitti Uomo in Florence, the partnership is centered on a truly extraordinary Linea mini espresso machine, distinguished by both linear and wavy walnut detailing and steel in the shade of dark chocolate. In a celebration of the rituals that bring people and ask people to slow down, there’s also an array of sleepwear, linen robes, linen-blend swimshorts, and more in a signature brown, undulating pattern inspired by the wavy tiles of Copacabana calçadão.—Jacqueline Terrebonne

4. Rossana Orlandi Refreshes Her Porto Cervo Summer Gallery

Rossana Orlandi, long regarded as the “signora of design” in Milan and far beyond, has spent nearly two decades operating a seasonal gallery in Porto Cervo that extends the reach of her legendary design emporium. An unmissable fixture of the Costa Smeralda summer circuit, the wondrous three-story venue draws collectors and enthusiasts eager to discover collectible works personally selected by Orlandi and her daughter, Nicoletta Brugnoni. This season, the gallery has refreshed its presentation with an international roster united by a shared devotion to material research, craftsmanship, and experimentation. Among the highlights is Efeso, a chandelier by Roberto Sironi and Luce5 crafted from lost-wax-cast bronze and curved glass, its luminous form drawing inspiration from the ancient ruins of Ephesus. Armand Louis by Wave Murano Glass presents Mutation, a trilogy of vases that explores shifting form through Murano glass and unpredictable chromatic reactions. Meanwhile, Luxembourg-based Omecara debuts Venus, a wool textile work inspired by early depictions of fertility and the feminine body that imbues fabric with a sculptural presence. —Ryan Waddoups

5. Issey Miyake Unveils New Pieces in Collaboration with Artist Tomokazu Matsuyama 

Since launching A-POC ABLE Issey Miyake in 1998, the brand has evolved into a powerhouse of bringing together the finest creatives, artisans, and talents together to craft wearable art. Following a standout solo exhibition from artist Tomokazu Matsuyama in Spring 2025, the Japanese-born artist has teamed up with noted fashion brand A-POC Able Issey Miyake to bring his vivid and colorful canvases to the fashion world. Taken from his four works Bring You Home, Keep Fishin’ for Twilight, The True Oasis Erase, and 20 Dollar Cold Cold Heart, the fashion house has transformed these artworks into garments including statement piece coats and standout shirts, where they have been printed in Kyoto and the base fabric features a triangular pattern applied with a specialized technique.

To celebrate this artistic collaboration, Issey Miyake will host an exhibition for the “TYPE-XII Tomokazu Matsuyama project” at their New York storefront and its gallery space MADO from July 9 through August 31. The show will feature equestrian sculptures, a recurring theme in Matsuyama’s artistic practice, created using the same original 3D printing technology employed for A-POC ABLE mannequins as well as paintings related to the project. Throughout the space, dynamic installations of A-POC ABLE’s vibrant textiles, served as the canvas for Matsuyama’s reconstructed artworks, will be suspended from the ceiling. — Shelby Black

6. This Chelsea Sauna Club Channels a Distinctly New York Vision of Wellness

Finding a sanctuary that offers respite from New York without leaving town can be challenging. It’s a quandary that Alex Feldman and Amanda Taylor Hensen sought to answer with Saint, a private sauna and cold-plunge club discreetly tucked into a ground-floor storefront in Chelsea. Though compact at just 1,100 square feet, the club contains four private wellness pods, each comprising a dry sauna, cold-plunge bath, shower, and dressing area, within an atmospheric interior conceived by Noam Dvir and Daniel Rauchwerger, co-founders of design firm BOND. 

Taking cues from the Japanese onsen and Nordic sauna traditions, Saint occupies a fully secluded-feeling interior with no access to natural light. BOND responded by defining each zone through shifts between terrazzo, slate, stainless steel, and cypress. Slate lends heft to plunge baths and dark-as-night terrazzo gives the project Gotham-esque intrigue, contrasting with the warmth of cypress-clad saunas. “We weren’t interested in creating a purely naturalistic spa,” the architects tell Galerie. “Instead, we wanted the spaces to feel distinctly New York.” To maximize every square foot, they configured the suites almost like interlocking Tetris pieces. As they put it, “every decision was intended to support the feeling of stepping outside the city for an hour.” —Ryan Waddoups

7. Explora Launches a Jewelry Collection Shaped by the Ocean

Explora Journeys is no ordinary marine vacation experience, and they have proven it by launching Mandala, their own fine jewelry line. Designed in collaboration with Fanny Blanchelande, the collection draws on motifs inspired by the geometry of Explora’s mandala-inspired logo. The jewelry uses materials such as enamel, ceramic, titanium, gold, turquoise, and aluminium. “Born of the sea and shaped by the Ocean State of Mind, this collection is made for those who know that a Journey can stay with you—in memory and within the small private rituals we carry with us,” says Anna Nash, President of Explora Journeys, adding, “Each piece is imagined as a trace of light, a quiet protection and a reminder of balance and belonging.” The Mandala collection will be offered exclusively on EXPLORA III starting with her maiden voyage on July 24, 2026. —Rena Gross
