Le Coiffeur | Marseille (FR) | By Emma Harrison

Situated in the recently opened Les Terrasses du Port, part of Marseille's expansive 480 hectare Euromediterranée urban renewal project, is Le Coiffeur. Unveiled in May 2014 and designed by Margaux Keller in association with Bertrand Guillon Architecture, the salon is owned by stylist and Marseille native Pascal Lancien.

Decorated in muted pastel tones, the space is inspired by the Southern French seaside and features a shampoo cabana redolent of the cabins used by local fishermen alongside individual 'La Coiffeuse’ desks to ensure the privacy of each client. Beneath suspended Italian glass pendants, former Fabrica product designer Keller has created an interior that reflects the vibrancy of Marseille's new development whilst drawing on the city's more traditional industry.

Momo Grill Restaurant | Klaipeda (LT)

Housed in a turn of the century townhouse, the Momo Grill restaurant is located in the coastal Lithuanian city of Klaipeda. The space, designed by interior designer, graphic designer and photographer Ramūnas Manikas, offers a modern and paired-back interior combining a dark colour palette, varied textures and parallel lines. Although the space is compact, Manikas' design and wall divisions have ensured that the interior remains spacious; the kitchen area is visible from the restaurant and allows customers to observe the kitchen staff at work. The industrial chandeliers, wall lamps, Scandinavian seating and shelves full of miscellaneous objects and flowers create a minimal yet decorative space, the ideal setting for this modern eatery.

A modern farm: Westwind Orchard | New York (USA)

The Westwind Orchard, first planted by Chester Khon in the 1930s, is a 32-acre apple orchard farm in the Hudson River Valley owned by partners Laura Ferrara and Fabio Chizzola. Inspired by apple growing, the fashion editor/stylist and photographer-turned-farmers have dramatically renovated the farmhouse over the last eight years to create 'a vision of a local farming future for our region'. The farm grows pears, raspberries, garlic, grapes and squash and also houses a flock of chickens, honey beehives and maple trees. The interior of the farmhouse is a delicate blend of traditional and contemporary design and neatly reflects the couple’s unconventional yet sophisticated taste. The rustic dark wood that lines the floors and walls is offset by soft furnishings including quilts, long pile carpets and custom-made furniture to create a warm yet rustic space.
