The best non-toxic deweeder for pavements! If you’ve got weeds popping up through driveway cracks or pavement paving, don’t reach for harsh chemical sprays, just boil the kettle! Why it works: The boiling water instantly collapses the plant’s cell structure and cooks the root system down in the cracks. Pet & child safe: There’s no toxic runoff into your soil or surrounding garden beds. It’s perfect for gravel, brick pavers, and concrete cracks. Save this for your next weekend garden clean-up! #NaturalWeedControl #HomeHacks #GardenTips

Say goodbye to sticky, greasy cabinets with this quick 5-step routine! Cooking grease and dust build up over time, creating that stubborn, tacky film on your kitchen doors. You don’t need harsh chemical degreasers to bring back their original shine, just a few simple household ingredients and the right technique. Pro Cleaning Tips: Test First: Always spot-test on a hidden corner of painted or vintage wood cabinets before going all in. Wring It Out: Keep your cloth damp, not soaking wet. Excess water is the cause of warped wood and peeling veneer. Frequency: Do a quick spot-clean once a week around handles and stove areas to stop heavy grease before it builds up. Save this post for your next weekend reset! What’s your top trick for keeping the kitchen sparkling? Let us know below!👇 #KitchenCleaning #HomeHacks #CleaningTips

It was time to give this pool a proper deep clean I grabbed my usual go-to’s... but this time, they weren’t for the pool. Meet the @aiperaustralia Scuba S3, it does all the pool cleaning on its own, so I got to spring clean my kitchen while it spring cleaned my pool It’s so light and easy to carry, one button and it’s ready to go.

REPOST @alberto.vanderbilt.cavalli - @homofaber Sometimes, the meaning of things only appears when they come together. Alone, each form is simply itself. Placed beside another, it begins to speak differently — through proximity, contrast, balance, tension. Perhaps people are not so different. A path of recovery is also made of encounters: different stories sharing the same space, learning to stand beside one another, to support, to reflect, to become part of something larger without losing their own shape. Sometimes, what gives meaning to an individual journey is the presence of others.

The art of layering. Nothing in a room by @charlottemoss feels accidental, yet nothing feels overly composed. Art, textiles, pattern, colour and memory coexist — collected over time, each with its own story. We are especially proud to see our work become part of this extraordinary visual conversation. A reminder that wallpaper can be more than a background: it can become part of the architecture of a room, and of the life lived within it. Thank you, Charlotte, for choosing our hands, our craft and the purpose behind them. 🤎 Your vision, our craft. __________________________ #CharlotteMoss #MadeinItaly🇮🇹 #ArtisanalWallpaper #Bespokedesign #DesignWithPurpose

Yes — then I’d correct it and make the opening slightly more elegant: A wonderful gift from @charlottemoss — her latest book, At Home in Virginia. Among its pages, a few of the works we had the pleasure of creating for Charlotte. And, somewhere beyond the expected list of wallpaper makers, San Patrignano appears among her special sources. A small distinction that means a great deal. Charlotte’s world has always been shaped by an extraordinary eye for beauty, but also by curiosity — for the hands, stories and purpose behind the things she chooses. Thank you, Charlotte, for giving our work a place in your world — and for recognising the purpose behind it. 📕 Your vision, our craft. __________________________ #CharlotteMoss #MadeinItaly🇮🇹 #ArtisanalWallpaper #Bespokedesign #DesignWithPurpose

Empowering women through the joy of craft. Craft is more than making. It is knowledge, confidence, independence — and the possibility of imagining a different future. Alice is studying to become the archivist of our collections: learning to preserve its stories, understand its techniques and carry its heritage forward. With the generous support of @fondazionezegna , another path is taking shape — through hands, knowledge and opportunity. A special thanks @barbaraguarducci Your vision, our craft. __________________________ #Mongiardino #MadeinItaly🇮🇹 #ArtisanalWallpaper #Bespokedesign #DesignWithPurpose

Thank you to everyone who joined us and the exceptional artisans from San Patrignano for a special wallpaper workshop during Focus/26 on Design ⭐️ It was a rare opportunity to experience, first hand, the extraordinary craftsmanship behind our designs and to gain a deeper appreciation for the hands and heritage that bring them to life. Our new wallpaper collaboration with San Patrignano, Park Avenue, can be discovered in our showroom at the Design Centre, as well as at our Holbein Place and Ebury Street showrooms. For an entirely new perspective, the collection is also brought to life through a striking installation in the Centre Dome of the Design Centre, where the designs take on an immersive new dimension.

At @suv.venetianbeads , in Venice, the Sito family has been preserving the Venetian art of glass beads for generations since 1940. Watching her work, you realise that craftsmanship is not only about what you make. It is about everything your hands learn over time: the gesture, the patience, the precision. Today, the traditional art of Venetian glass beads is recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. @unesco A centuries old tradition, kept alive by people who still make it by hand. This is the kind of knowledge that cannot be rushed, replaced or replicated. It has to be passed on. #venice #craftmanship #artisan @thegloryofbeads @francesco_bungaro

Practice it not just this month, but every month that follows If you or someone you know is struggling, don’t be afraid to start a conversation first. Please continue seeking help, reach out to a crisis line if it’s needed There are always more sunsets to see, oceans to visit, birds to listen to

Slavic ornament is 2000 years old and you’ve probably scrolled past it a hundred times without knowing it. Rhombus meant earth. Wave meant water. Tree meant life between worlds. Then in 1899 Bilibin turned it into modern design, and it never really left. Gzhel, khokhloma, palekh, one root, a hundred branches, sold back to the West as “Russian soul.” Now it’s on packaging, on posters, on runways. This is a short story of slavic folk ornament in design!

On September 11, 2001, Françoise Mouly and Art Spiegelman were walking to vote in the mayoral primaries when a plane struck the North Tower at the end of their street. They spent 90 harrowing minutes finding their daughter at her high school in the towers’ shadow. That afternoon, Mouly was back at The New Yorker trying to find a cover and nothing felt adequate. A neighbour said: «No image can do justice to this, do no cover.» Mouly took that literally and Spiegelman suggested the towers’ silhouette, black on black. The image is only visible when light hits the page at an angle That cover became one of the most studied acts of editorial design in American history. What followed over the next two decades was a sustained conversation in illustration. Ten artists with eleven different answers to the same impossible question The collection in this post spans from the immediate aftermath to the 20th anniversary. Some covers chose silence, some chose grief, some chose anger, and one — Adrian Tomine’s Memorial Plaza — chose the ordinary life that grew back in the space where the towers stood Together they document what it felt like to live with the shape of what was gone

Designers who "win" at AI don't think in prompts, they think in systems + with solid, curated context. A good prompt can make one interaction better. A good system can improve the way you work over and over again. The real leverage comes from giving AI enough to work with: → Intent: what are we actually trying to achieve? → Context: the product, users, business, and decisions already made → Constraints: what needs to stay true? → References: examples of what good looks like → Tools and skills: what can the agent actually do? → Evaluation: how will we decide whether the output is any good? (Hint: Evals baby!) → Iteration: how will we improve the work instead of accepting the first result? Systems > One-shot prompts, you get it, kbye 💋

so many things I’ll unpack here👇🏼 This message reveals a lot about what is happening to designers right now: → companies confusing producing design artifacts with actually doing design → AI being used as a justification for organizational decisions that are much more complex than “the machine can do your job now” → the erosion of professional confidence when your expertise is suddenly framed as replaceable → how deeply work, identity and self-worth get entangled, especially after years spent becoming good at something → the brutal gap between knowing you have value and wondering whether the market will still recognize it → the psychological cost of layoffs that we barely talk about while everyone debates productivity and AI adoption → and the uncomfortable reality that our profession is changing, while the discourse around that change often lacks any humanity I don’t think pretending nothing is happening helps designers. But I also don’t think reducing design to “AI can make screens now” comes remotely close to describing what designers actually contribute. There’s a human being on the other side of every “efficiency” decision. And sometimes the hardest part after a layoff isn’t finding the next job. It’s rebuilding your own understanding of your worth after someone made you question it. I’ll do a reel next about AI layoffs + how to cope when this happens to you, because I think we need to talk about this much more openly. ❤️‍🩹

The part I value most about building with AI is totally not speed, but ownership. For the Design Wellbeing Index (which launches soooooon, stay tuneeeed 🥹♥️) , I had a very specific idea of what the project should feel like, serious, human, credible, but not clinical. Normally, somewhere between the idea and the finished thing, that vision gets diluted through handoffs, tools, technical constraints and tiny compromises. Building it in @replit meant I could stay close to the work all the way through: structure, interactions, copy, mobile, details, domain, SEO, deployment. The distance between “I want this to exist” and “this exists exactly how I imagined it” is getting much smaller.  And I think that changes what creators and designers are able to own. Being a #ReplitPartner is great, because I love this tool so much. ❤️‍🔥 Comment REPLIT and I’ll send you the link with a little gift 🎁.

Forget someone's name? Accidentally congratulate someone on a pregnancy they don't have? Life is full of faux pas, but even when you’re the one making it, you can dig your way out of social quicksand most of the time. Here’s what psychologists and etiquette experts suggest saying, plus when to stop talking. Read more at the link in bio. Photo-Illustration by TIME (Source Image: monkeybusinessimages/Getty Images)

Author John Green has done it all: nonfiction, tear-jerking coming-of-age novels, and now adult fiction with his new novel, 'Hollywood, Ending.' This is why in the ninth episode of our book recommendation series, we asked him for books for every kind of situation: heartbreak, having limited time to read, feeling out of place, getting into nonfiction, and the one book he thinks everyone should read.
