The Escape: Experimental Roma Makes Its Debut in the Eternal City

A former bank near Rome's iconic Via Veneto has found a new purpose. Experimental Group's latest address introduces 82 rooms with interiors by French designer Rodolphe Parente. Rich textures, expressive details and contemporary design offer a fresh perspective on the building's architectural heritage, marking an exciting new chapter for the group's distinctive approach to hospitality.

The Object: LOEWE and On Take Luxury Footwear Outdoors

The hiking trail has become an increasingly fashionable destination. LOEWE and Swiss performance brand On introduce the Cloudsolo Hiker, combining technical innovation with contemporary design.

Centered on a four-step skincare ritual, the initiative reflects the industry's growing focus on long-term skin health and a more preventative approach to aging.
