Perspective is everything, and these towering, XXXL inflatable ladders by Italian artist Paola Pivi frame the facade of Paris’ freshly reopened Grand Palais in a playful new way. The landmark museum fully reopened at the end of last month, after a four-year renovation that improved accessibility and restored its historic features. To celebrate the occasion, the Grand Palais launched Euphoria, a whopping 4,000 sq m exhibition showcasing the ‘art of inflatables’ and balloons.

London’s Camberwell has welcomed a bright, new neighbourhood bakery whose friendly name is matched by playful primary interiors contrasting red and blue. Hello JoJo is located on Camberwell Church Street and is an all-day haunt that goes from daytime bakery and café to evening wine bar and bistro. The London cafe and restaurant is the brainchild of Jo Lavender and Rob Newlan, with vibrant interiors by Michelle Kelly and architecture by Stephen Harty.

This minimalist London property in Queen’s Park is the result of a collaboration between design and development consultancy COEUS and interior firm Cavendish Studios, who together channelled the warmth and serenity of Mediterranean living into its spaces. Located on Milverton Road, just moments from the green expanse of Queen’s Park, the five-bedroom property distils a sense of nature and calm into its domestic spaces through a tactile material palette and finishes.
