The challenge of creating coherence within a 1,260-square-foot duplex carved from an 1848 Neo-Grec brownstone lies not in preservation alone, but in discovering parallel frameworks across disparate architectural traditions. Bespoke Only approached this Clinton Hill Duplex by identifying a shared language between Brooklyn's late 19th-century architectural details and the domestic interiors of Shanghai during the same period - an era when both cities were grappling with modernity while maintaining ties to craft traditions.

The 11th edition of Dubai Design Week (DDW) is set to amplify the dynamic creative landscape of the Middle East, running from November 4 to 9, 2025, at the Dubai Design District (d3), the city's global creative ecosystem. The festival offers a multidisciplinary program that acts as a vital platform for dialogue, experimentation, and progress, spanning architecture, interiors, furniture, graphic design and major activations like the showcase by Iris Ceramica Group.
