We’ve long been advocates of a considered approach to collaboration at HQ. Still, when we heard that the worlds of piano and precision audio had collided, with none other than Steinway & Sons partnering with Danish sound pioneers Lyngdorf, it was clear this was no ordinary meeting of minds. What emerged is a sculptural, sonically pure range of luxury sound systems, offering an audio-sensory experience that transcends the expected and redefines domestic soundscapes.

First introduced in the Fall/Winter 2024 collection, LOEWE draws the eye downward — toward the layered richness of the land — with the introduction of its Landscape series. Debuted as part of the pre-collection, the capsule reflects the house’s ongoing dialogue between nature, sculpture, and material mastery. At the heart of the collection lies a reverent study of topography, where rock strata and coastal formations are reimagined through the lens of luxury leatherwork.

To stay at Casa D’Anna ai Cristallini is to live and breathe history. Tucked within a restored 17th-century palazzo in Naples’ vibrant Rione Sanità, this quietly luxurious residence offers more than shelter; it provides perspective. From the moment I arrived, it felt like stepping into a living museum, one with silk-soft sheets, Farrow & Ball paints, and a garden fragrant with jasmine and lemon trees.
