But their glittering mirror ball—destined for ballrooms, nightclubs, dance pavilions, and skating rinks—was made with revelry in mind. Shiny orbs hovered over bandstands hosting jazz musicians in the 1920s, twinkled above dancers in Casablanca (1942), and dazzled a club scene in Some Like It Hot (1959). By the 1970s, when that super-glam, sparkly club culture—disco!—at last arrived, the mirror ball fit right in, a silvery staple 3 of underground New York dance spots like The Loft, The Gallery, and, later, legendary nightclub Studio 54, where revelers grooved beneath its disorienting shimmer.

But today, as interiors experience a ’70s revival, the disco ball has entered a new domain: the home. “It instantly adds drama and play,” explains AD100 designer Kelly Wearstler, who recently collaborated with Dutch artists Rotganzen on a collection of surrealistic, disco-ball-esque objets. Meanwhile, writer Brooke Metcalfe hung a trio over the kitchen island in her English manse, and AD100 designer Jane Hallworth, for a recent project, indulged her client’s love of the groovy staple by hanging an XL version in the office. “Disco balls represent the best of times,” Hallworth muses. “They are making a resurgence because they are joyfully childlike.” —HANNAH MARTIN

THE DINING ROOM COMPOSITION INCLUDES VINTAGE GIO PONTI CHAIRS AND A TOM DIXON PYLON CHAIR FOR CAPPELLINI. 3 T o say that Andrea Molteni was born into the design world would be an understatement. As the scion of the furniture dynasty founded in Giussano, Italy, by his grandparents Angelo and Giuseppina Molteni in 1934, Andrea has been fully immersed in the grand tradition of Italian design his entire life. Today, as the vice president and director of product development for Molteni&C | Dada, he is not only safeguarding his family’s legacy but also forging new avenues of experimentation and innovation for the company and its affiliate brands. “I was raised in the design industry, so the importance of quality is part of my DNA,” he says. “It’s more 1 & 3. LAURA FANTACUZZI AND MAXIME GALATI-FOURCADE. 2. MAX ZAMBELLI. than just a question of style. I like things that are well made, products with inherent integrity and craftsmanship.” The Milan apartment that Molteni shares with his wife, Camilla, and their young daughter, Vittoria, is a testament to the furniture executive’s sensibility and approach to design. “I saw a picture of the terrace and its rustic wood paneling, which really spoke to me,” he says, recalling his initial attrac- tion to the residence, which had been lovingly renovated by a previous owner. “The weather in Milan has been quite mild, so we are able to enjoy the outdoor space in many seasons. This place was my family’s saving grace during the pandemic,” he adds. Molteni and his wife outfitted the home in a fashion con- sistent with the company’s historical predilection for elegant modern forms and an understated, largely monochromatic palette. Several of the pieces, including the living room sec- tional and cocktail tables, were designed by AD100 architect Vincent Van Duysen, the creative director for Molteni&C 32 ARCHDIGEST.COM

The tailored mix is leavened with a collection of contem- porary art and vintage furnishings that have followed Molteni and his wife to many homes, among them a classic Eames lounge chair and a Tom Dixon sculptural Pylon chair of welded metal rods for Cappellini. The kitchen, which Molteni describes as a “Frankenstein composition,” has elements from the Dada kitchen line 4 blended into the custom cookery that came with the apartment. One of the most sentimental pieces in the home is an Asmat shield that LAURA FANTACUZZI AND MAXIME GALATI-FOURCADE looks like a surfboard, a gift from Molteni’s mother. “There was a time in my life when I dreamed of becom- ing a surfer, which is not so easy when you’re based in Milan,” he says, laughing. “At the end of the day, you can’t just live in a showroom. Even for a furniture maker, a home has to reflect the full life and history of the family.” —MAYER RUS

From the moment you arrive, you sense it—the sand underfoot, the breeze, the reception’s timber chairs and earthy palette. Even the brutalist buildings, which mimic ancient ruins, fold seamlessly into the natural surroundings, a mix of existing vegetation and indigenous additions like copal trees and orchids. Tasked with designing the buildings and the landscape was celebrated Mexico City–based 2 architect Alberto Kalach. As Carlos Couturier, cofounder of Grupo Habita, explains, “Kalach is officially an architect, but his soul is about developing landscapes.” Essential to the experience is a connection between the terrain, the buildings, and the sky, which can be appreciated from the open-air showers or stargazing platforms. “The architecture fits perfectly with the garden and brings serenity and surprise,” says Kalach, who chose locally handcrafted bricks to realize the 14 villas, all of which are powered entirely by solar energy. Inside the vaulted rooms, pine beds designed by Kalach mingle with furniture by fellow Mexican architect Oscar Hagerman. Wooden window shutters invite breezes, obviating the need for glass or air-conditioning. Plant-filled paths, meanwhile, usher guests to JAIME NAVARRO two saltwater pools, a temple-like hammam, and an alfresco restaurant for cacao elixirs and ceviche. At Terrestre, being mindful of the environment is an entirely holistic approach. “It’s not a statement,” says Couturier. “We just do it.” terrestrehotel.com —MARY HOLLAND

HIROYUKI OKI A DINING SPACE AT THE CASTAWAY ISLAND RESORT, A VIETNAM HOTEL DESIGNED BY VTN ARCHITECTS USING BAMBOO CONSTRUCTION. In the face of climate change, top architects and designers are reimagining the way we build now: embracing local materials, revitalizing craft, and championing building innovations. To capture the state of sustainability, we’ve rounded up forward-thinking projects (and products!) from around the globe. The stakes have never been higher.... ARCHDIGEST.COM 49

1 An Idea Takes Root “The first condition of sustainability is that buildings need to have a long life.” So says Vo Trong Nghia in his new monograph, Vo Trong Nghia: Building Nature (Thames & Hudson). Since founding his namesake firm in 2006, the Vietnam- based architect has explored ways to do right by the planet, taking inspiration from—and forging lasting connections with—Mother Earth. Central to that mission has been his innovative use of bamboo, a durable, fast-growing, and readily available material that lends itself to large spans and sculptural forms. Nghia calls it “the green steel of the 21st century.” The firm’s recently completed Casamia Community House project on the outskirts of Hoi An, for instance, incorporates bamboo as a means to withstand the strong winds of its riverfront site, while the Castaway Island Resort in the Cat Ba Archipelago minimizes its impact on the beach, with poles that have been soaked in mud, smoked, then assembled using bamboo dowel nails and rope. “We design our bamboo buildings like machines, with parts that can be replaced if necessary,” says Nghia, who acknowledges that there are geographic and climatic limitations to the material. “Through architecture I want to protect our planet and reintroduce greenery into the city.” vtnarchitects.net —SAM COCHRAN 2 1.
