When ED Interiors Editor first showed me this project in our June issue, I fell in love with its fearless, acid-toned color palette (and art collection: Feast your eyes on that Emil Node). A classic pied-a-terre on Park Avenue in fuchsia and lime? Yes, please. As Nancy Hass writes: The classic Upper East Side New York interiors of the 1980s hold a vivid place in our collective memory: They were spectacularly gilded, arrayed with 18th-century antiques, and layered in lush patterns. But at the same moment in time, an entirely different—and perhaps inadequately appreciated—aesthetic was taking shape 2,500 miles west in the homes of a generation of wealthy and discreet Southern Californians.
The Holmby Hills drawing rooms of Betsy Bloomingdale and the interiors of Sunnylands, Walter and Leonore Annenberg’s estate in Rancho Mirage, were sun-splashed and elegant, playful and low-slung. There were pops of hot color—lime, aqua, lemon—and nods to Hollywood Regency style in homes that were as welcoming as they were soigné. It is precisely such a spirit that infuses this art-filled Manhattan pied-à-terre. And no wonder: The owners are a couple who have spent most of their lives in Los Angeles. The sofa, in an Old World Weavers fabric, is topped with a pillow made from a scarf, and a pair of armchairs are in a silk. The vintage chair (right) is by André Arbus, the cocktail table is by , the curtains are of a Macondo Silks silk taffeta, and the artwork is by Emil Nolde. Styled by: 📷:

If you play chess, or even if you don't, the MIA in Doha's ongoing exhibition "Kings and Pawns" has treats in store. Learn about the history of East-West cultural exchanges, and the very story of human society, is locked into the shapes of 16 carved pieces and the squares on a board. Read our coverage here: http://www.qulture.com/arts/kings-and-pawns-doha-corniche-fun-and-games-times-past

In an age where the highest-rated chess player of all time was beaten by a computer, and where the current world title holder cut his teeth over the internet, it’s easy to forget just how deeply rooted chess is in humanity’s material culture. The game’s exact origins lie in the unrecorded past, but…
