In this issue, coming out at the beginning of spring, we felt the need to express energy. And we looked for those who could help us by communicating, as well as elegance, strength and vitality. Bentley Home evolves and presents a new concept, in synergy with Bentley’s style office, focusing on contemporaneity: this is how President Raffaella Vignatelli and the designer Carlo Colombo describe the new direction taken by the company. Enzo Cattelani of Cattelani & Smith, on the other hand, tells us about his workshop where he gathers, assembles, folds and shapes objects, feeling how materials play with the golden light of the sun and fire. Philippe Plein chooses ‘energy, adrenaline, power and glory’ as the key words of his latest fashion show-event named ‘Greased Lighting’. In the heart of the Mayan Forest stands Chablé Resort, a magical place to recharge in one of the 38 villas designed and built to provide every comfort. ‘Pulp Fiction’ is not only the name of a drama by Quentin Tarantino that has made the history of cinema but is also a dish invented by Matias Perdomo. The chef, in his restaurant, does not have a standard menu but asks his guests what are their expectations. No, this doesn’t mean ‘third degree’, but the willingness to share the moment to ad-hoc create dishes for people: this is pure energy!

Tempra means never give up, it is the will and the ability to express yourself, despite everything, as Frida Kahlo did in her artistic life, on show at MUDEC in Milan. Actually, the Carlino family of Mandatoriccio had a lot of character, having humbly worked in a small village in the Calabria region, to later become a point of reference in log processing for pipe making. The details are always what makes everything EXTRA-ordinary.
