  • B&B Italia Marks 60 Years with “Before & Beyond” Exhibition at Milan Design Week

    B&B Italia marked its 60th anniversary during Milan Design Week with the presentation of “Before & Beyond,” a project that brought together a publication and an exhibition exploring the company’s history and creative direction. Held from April 21 to 26 at Via Durini in Milan, "Before & Beyond" reflected on the evolution of B&B Italia since its founding in 1966, originally as C&B. The project examines how the brand developed into a global reference in Italian design, with a focus on its approach to communication and product development. The “Before & Beyond” magazine, produced with Nova Express and curated by Gianluigi Ricuperati and Maurizio Cilli, drew from archival materials and new artistic contributions. It traced key moments in the company’s history, highlighting collaborations with designers and the role of visual storytelling in shaping its identity. The publication was accompanied by an exhibition designed by Formafantasma, which expanded the research into a physical space. The installation presented historical materials, campaigns, and objects that illustrate the brand’s trajectory, alongside new work connected to its latest creative direction. The project also referenced past campaigns and iconic products, including the UP series, while introducing new imagery developed for 2026. Through both the publication and exhibition, B&B Italia outlined its ongoing focus on design that combines research, collaboration, and long-term relevance. More information on the exhibition and related projects can be found on the B&B Italia website.

  • How Apartheid, European Racism And Pelé Helped Cultivate a Culture of Diversity in US Soccer That Endures Into Messi‑era MLS

    North America’s most diverse professional league kicked off on February this year, as Major League Soccer returns after a winter break. Patrick ‘Ace’ Ntsoelengoe in action for the Toronto Blizzard.Tony Bock/Toronto Star via Getty Images The league, commonly known as the MLS, long prided itself as a standard-bearer for racial and national diversity: With players representing around 80 countries across six continents competing for teams. Members of racial minorities make up 63% of players and 36% of head coaches, according to the latest diversity scorecard from the University of Central Florida’s Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport. As a soccer scholar and author of the book “Soccer’s Neoliberal Pitch,” I know that this diversity is in part by design and has deep roots. Indeed, the MLS had, as a model of diversity, an earlier attempt to get Americans to embrace the “beautiful game”: the North American Soccer League, or NASL. The fall and rise of the NASL Most often remembered for bringing Pelé to the U.S., the NASL was arguably the first serious attempt to develop a truly professional “major” soccer league in the country. It ran from 1968 to 1984 and peaked in popularity the mid-1970s. With minimal audiences at the gates and a TV contract that was scrapped early on because of dismal ratings, the league struggled early on. A full dozen of the 17 inaugural teams folded after the first year, leaving just five competing in the second season. Growth was slow – by 1973 there were nine teams, and games had an average attendance of about 6,000 fans. Most team owners and league commissioner Phil Woosnam believed the NASL needed more sizzle to appeal to an American market. To that end, the league decided to make a number of alterations. Rules were tweaked to increase the number of goals, and more traditional American sports add-ons – tailgating and cheerleaders, for example – were encouraged to help improve the atmosphere. But the impulse to alter both the substance and meaning of the game had mixed results, at best. Although the NASL was able to enlarge its audience among a subset of fans through these stylistic distractions, others felt alienated by the focus on razzmatazz. As Newsweek reported at the time, first-generation immigrants – the demographic expected to make up the supporting base – stayed away. Polls revealed that these traditional soccer supporters perceived the quality of play in the league to be so inferior that they weren’t interested in attending games. Likewise, European players often found the innovations of the NASL off-putting. After playing his first game for the Portland Timbers, Pat Howard – a former player for the English team Everton – found himself thinking, “What kind of football is this? I mean, there were blinking cavalry charges up the wings, ducks behind the goal, firecrackers going on.” A study commissioned by the NASL convinced the league that it would have to increase the skill level of the game if it hoped to grab the largest possible viewership. And that is when the story of the league’s diversity really takes off. A league of nations The New York Cosmos, owned by Warner Communications, was one of earliest NASL teams to reach out to international star power, luring Pelé out of retirement to play three seasons for a reported US$4.7 million. Pelé chats with fellow New York Cosmos player Manoel Maria in 1975. AP Photo The Cosmos followed the signing by bringing in other global stars, such as Germany’s World Cup winning captain Franz Beckenbauer, Italian Giorgio Chinaglia and Brazilian Carlos Alberto. Other global stars who signed for different teams included elite global players such as Johan Cruyff, Gerd Müller, Peter Osgood, Bobby Moore, Eusébio and George Best. It represented a who’s who of the soccer world, albeit an aging one. The impact on the league was immediate. It resulted in increased attendances and a higher media profile in the U.S. It also set a course for rosters featuring players from around the world – and not only through the import of fading stars. NASL teams needed to strike a balance – and balance their budgets – by searching for players who were talented but also undervalued. And this often meant bringing in African and African diaspora players. They were aided in their search by overseas racism, both implicit and state-sponsored. European teams in the 1970s had relatively low numbers of Black players playing in them. It led players like Trinidad and Tobago’s Leroy DeLeon to choose the NASL rather than sign contracts with European teams. As DeLeon recounted, he decided to join the New York Generals in 1969 after a recruitment trip to England in which he only saw one Black player, West Ham’s Clyde Best. By contrast, the Washington Darts, the team DeLeon later joined, had seven Trinidadians on the roster. Escaping apartheid Meanwhile, under the apartheid laws in South Africa, Black and white players were prohibited from playing one another. To Black South Africans, the NASL represented a chance to escape the racism of their homeland. Patrick “Ace” Ntsoelengoe was one of many Black South Africans who viewed the NASL as being the only route toward international fame. Fellow Black South African Webster Lichaba, who played in Atlanta in the early 1980s, relished his treatment in the U.S.: “You were allowed to eat in any restaurant; you went into any club if you wanted to; you stayed in any area you wanted to. … It was different, a different lifestyle altogether. You were treated as an equal.” Kaizer Motaung of the Denver Dynamos. Steve Larson/The Denver Post via Getty Images Kaizer Motaung, who played for the Atlanta Chiefs and later returned to South Africa to found the successful Kaizer Chiefs football club, noted: “America was an eye-opener for me. I am in a foreign country, but here are Black people holding high positions being respected worldwide.” And it wasn’t only Black South Africans who made the move. Apartheid resulted in a sporting boycott of South Africa, preventing the country from playing in international games. As such, the NASL represented an opportunity for white South Africans to play in front of a wider audience. As soccer scholar Chris Bolsmann has noted, both Black and white players later went back to South Africa, energized to act against apartheid and confident of their ability to succeed in joint struggles again racism. While some overseas players returned home after their playing careers ended, others stayed to help the grassroots game in the U.S. Trinidad and Tobago goalkeeper Lincoln Phillips, who played for the Baltimore Bays, went on to coach Howard University’s men’s soccer team – the first from a historically Black college or university to win an NCAA soccer championship in 1974 – and later helped found the Black Soccer Coaches Association, an organization designed to help move Black coaches up the administrative ladder in soccer. A lasting soccer experiment While the North American Soccer League never turned soccer into a religion in the U.S. and was not without its own race issues – not least the gap in wages between predominantly European elite players and cheaper African and Caribbean players – it nonetheless leaves a legacy of diversity in U.S. soccer that continues today. As soccer author Ian Plenderleith has argued, the NASL was the first soccer experiment of “mixing several ethnic backgrounds” into one team.

  • Pininfarina: Italian Design in Miami

    In Miami, where design is lived as much as it is seen, Pininfarina finds a natural stage. For nearly a century, the Italian design house has shaped the language of elegance through motion. Today, that legacy extends beyond automotive into architecture, interiors, product design, and experience. Today, Pininfarina’s work is defined not by what they design, but by how they think. With only six in the world, the Ferrari Sergio captures Pininfarina at its most essential form—emotion, precision, and movement in a single gesture. A 360° APPROACH TO DESIGN At the core of Pininfarina is a holistic vision: one design language expressed across every scale. The purity of an aerodynamic line can inform a façade. Material innovation can move from interior to object. A residence, a kitchen, a piece of furniture, or a mobility concept becomes part of a single, connected world. In Miami, design must do more than impress. It must perform, adapt, and elevate the way people live. That philosophy is reflected in projects such as The Event Center Design by Pininfarina at The Concours Club, where movement, hospitality, and architecture converge in a distinctly immersive setting. With The Event Center, Pininfarina transforms the language of performance into architecture with its MiMo-inspired façade design — dynamic, refined, and experiential; raising the bar for exclusive automotive members clubs. DESIGN IN MOTION: FROM OBJECT TO ENVIRONMENT Pininfarina’s legacy in movement continues to inform everything we create. The precision of a line, the balance of a curve, the emotional impact of form, these are principles that transcend industries. Objects are not standalone elements, but extensions of a curated lifestyle. Greenhouse’s MODO Design by Pininfarina brings modular clarity and architectural discipline into the home, allowing interiors to shift without losing identity. While Florense’s Arco Design by Pininfarina reimagines the kitchen, arguably the most experiential space within a residence, as a sculptural centerpiece. Defined by fluid form, refined materials, and intuitive functionality, these pieces are not standalone products; they are extensions of a lifestyle. MODO redefines contemporary elegance, where sculptural form meets purposeful design. Each piece embodies a quiet sophistication, creating spaces that feel both curated and alive. Arco turns the kitchen into a statement of form and function, where technology disappears into elegance. ARCHITECTURE AS EXPERIENCE Pininfarina’s multidisciplinary vision is perhaps most clearly expressed across its diverse body of work, with architecture as one of its manifestations, where every principle converges into a cohesive reality. Projects such as Atto Design by Pininfarina, the company’s first residential building in Rio de Janeiro in collaboration with Arkt Incorporadora, and Andare Residences Design by Pininfarina in Fort Lauderdale with the Related Group, embody this approach. Designed as a dialogue between nature, movement, and form, both projects reflect the studio’s ability to translate its signature language into immersive environments shaped by light, movement, and proportion. Fluid lines, carefully selected materials, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions create spaces designed not just for living, but for feeling. Andare Residences expresses a new vision of luxury—immersive, refined, and shaped by experience. ATTO Design by Pininfarina brings the company’s signature fluidity to Rio de Janeiro’s Barra da Tijuca, creating a dialogue between nature, light, and form. TAILORED LUXURY FOR A GLOBAL CLIENTELE Pininfarina collaborates with a discerning global clientele—visionary developers, private clients, and brands who understand that design is a powerful differentiator. Each project is bespoke, rooted in context, ambition, and identity. That same bespoke philosophy extends beyond architecture and interiors. With NX62 Design by Pininfarina in collaboration with NX Boats, the studio brings its language of movement to the nautical world—creating an experience defined by performance, serenity, and refined craftsmanship. It is another expression of Pininfarina’s ability to translate one design vision across every environment, from the built world to the open water. NX62 carries Pininfarina’s design language onto the water—sleek, serene, and unmistakably refined. DESIGNING THE FUTURE, TODAY Luxury today is no longer defined by aesthetics alone. It is shaped by intelligence, sustainability, craftsmanship, and emotional resonance. That vision is evident even at the most intimate scale. In the Bovet Pininfarina Collection, technical precision meets sculptural elegance, transforming a timepiece into an object of innovation and timeless luxury. It is a reminder that the future of design is not only about how spaces look, but how every detail within them performs, feels, and endures. With the Bovet Collection, Pininfarina’s future-facing vision is expressed through precision, craftsmanship, and timeless detail. A LEGACY CONTINUED In Miami and beyond and across every discipline, Pininfarina continues to create spaces and objects that feel timeless, forward-looking, and unmistakably connected. This approach extends into refined lifestyle pieces such as Brandt’s Vici Design by Pininfarina, where purity of form meets technical mastery. Characterized by its clean, tensioned lines and monolithic presence, the pool table distills the essence of performance into a sculptural object. Its precision-engineered structure ensures professional-grade play, while its refined material palette allows it to integrate seamlessly into sophisticated residential environments. This is not design confined to category. It is design as a complete experience. This is 360° design. This is Pininfarina. The Vici Pool Table transforms a classic game into a statement of design – sleek, architectural, and effortlessly refined.

  • Miami Retailers Face Surging Liability Claims Over Dim Store Lighting

    A shopper leaves the bright Miami sun and enters a chic Design District boutique. Inside, dramatic lighting creates long shadows on polished floors. The ambiance is exclusive and curated, but it carries hidden risks. An unseen step. A misplaced hanger. A slick spot on dark tile. These aren't hypotheticals; they're the kinds of hazards showing up again and again in disputed liability claims across Miami's trendiest retail zones. As insurers tighten policies and demand stronger proof, injured shoppers are finding it harder than ever to get compensated. The Clash Between Ambiance and Accountability Miami's Signature Style Dim, atmospheric lighting has become a hallmark of luxury retail in Miami. It creates an intimate, high-end experience that fits right in with the city's glamorous, design-forward identity. That stylistic choice is part of what makes Miami's shopping scene one of the most dynamic anywhere, pulling customers into a world of curated elegance. But here's the problem: what looks gorgeous can also be genuinely dangerous. When Aesthetics Create Hazards Low light can mask changes in floor level between rooms, small puddles from air conditioner drips, or dark-colored merchandise left on the ground. These aren't freak occurrences. They're known, preventable issues. Studies in safety research indicate that improving lighting in retail environments can reduce accident rates by up to 60%, emphasizing the importance of proper lighting for business owners. Florida's Evolving Rules for Slip-and-Fall Claims Premises Liability in Florida Under premises liability, property owners are legally mandated to maintain a secure environment, including ensuring proper illumination. Failure to address these fundamental safety requirements can form the basis of a negligence claim. A Higher Bar for Injured Consumers Recent legal changes in Florida make it harder for shoppers to prove slip-and-fall cases. Insurers demand more evidence before paying out, which affects Miami's busy retail scene. Property owners can be held negligent when it's proven that their failure to provide a safe environment directly caused an injury. In South Florida, it's well established that inadequate lighting can lead to a valid premises liability claim. But proving the owner actually knew about the hazard? That's more critical now than ever. Aspect of a Claim The Previous Landscape Current Hurdles for Shoppers Burden of Proof Claimant needed to show business was negligent Stricter requirements to prove "actual or constructive knowledge" of the hazard Insurance Scrutiny Claims often settled based on initial reports Insurers conduct aggressive investigations and frequently dispute liability Time to File Four-year statute of limitations for negligence Tort reform reduced the window to just two years for many new cases Compensation Comparative negligence could reduce a settlement If claimant is found more than 50% at fault, they're barred from recovering any damages How to Protect Your Rights After a Fall Why Immediate Action Matters What you do in the moments after a fall can make or break a potential claim. Sound dramatic? Consider this: a recent slip-and-fall at a Broward County restaurant resulted in an $8 million judgment. Acting quickly and decisively isn't optional. Here's what you should do right away if you're injured in a Miami store: Capture Visual Proof: Immediately photograph and film the area where the accident occurred. Be sure to highlight contributing factors like dim lighting or the specific obstruction that tripped you. Formal Notification: Alert the property owner or supervisor on-site. Ask for a physical copy of their internal accident report and be honest about the pain you are experiencing—never minimize your symptoms. Establish a Medical Timeline: Consult a healthcare professional right away, even for seemingly small aches. This ensures your injuries are documented and tied directly to the time and place of the event. Secure Bystander Statements: If others saw the incident, collect their phone numbers and names. Third-party accounts can provide a neutral perspective that strengthens your case. Maintain Physical Evidence: Store the footwear and outfit you were wearing in a secure location. Avoid cleaning or repairing these items, as they may contain vital forensic evidence from the scene. Balancing Style with Safety in Miami's Retail Scene Miami's reputation as a capital of style and luxury comes with a real responsibility for retailers. Creative vision shouldn't compromise customer safety. And while shoppers should always stay aware of their surroundings, the onus is on businesses to properly illuminate their spaces. Miami retailers: take practical steps now to improve lighting and reduce risk. Shoppers: if you've fallen, act quickly—document, report, seek care, and preserve evidence to protect your rights.

  • Julia Berolzheimer Shares Her Thoughtful Approach to Mother’s Day Gifting and Everyday Style

    Fashion and lifestyle creator Julia Berolzheimer is approaching Mother’s Day with a focus on meaningful gifts, lasting design, and pieces that fit naturally into daily life. Through her curated selections and long-running digital platform, Berolzheimer continues to shape conversations around fashion, home, family, and modern luxury. Over the past 15 years, Berolzheimer has built one of the most recognizable voices in lifestyle content, growing an audience drawn to her personal approach to style and thoughtful recommendations. As a mother of two, she says motherhood has reshaped the way she thinks about gifting. “Motherhood taught me how much weight the small, day-to-day moments carry,” Berolzheimer shared. “It’s the tea that makes the morning feel slower, or the cashmere sweater you reach for every day. Those are the giftable moments that I look for now.” Her latest Mother’s Day selections reflect that philosophy, blending fashion, home décor, keepsakes, and family-oriented pieces into a collection centered on practicality and emotional value. Among the featured items is the Montagu Necklace from her ongoing collaboration with Jennifer Behr, designed to bring color and personality into everyday dressing. Berolzheimer also highlighted the Charleston Necklace, another piece from the collection inspired by timeless jewelry and personal keepsakes. Berolzheimer said her partnership with Jennifer Behr has evolved naturally over multiple collections because the brand was already part of her personal wardrobe before the collaboration began. “Our fourth collection took shape around a 1960s Mediterranean summer,” she explained. “I designed it for the woman who treats jewelry as part of getting dressed, not an afterthought.” Additional selections include the Woolfe Earrings, designed to add polish to everyday outfits, and the Ginori 1735 Florenza Box, which Berolzheimer recommends for storing jewelry, handwritten notes, and personal keepsakes. The collection also extends into home and lifestyle products. Berolzheimer selected the Kinderbrook Home Garden Basket for outdoor markets and family outings, along with Vintage European Sheets, which she says bring texture and character into the home. For mothers interested in fashion and design history, Berolzheimer included Vogue: The Jewellery, a coffee table book exploring iconic jewelry and fashion imagery. She also highlighted personalized Jaymes Paper notecards as a practical but thoughtful gift option. Family-focused gifts remain another major part of her Mother’s Day approach. Berolzheimer included matching Mommy & Me pajamas, designed around slow mornings and time spent together at home with children. Beyond product recommendations, Berolzheimer continues expanding her presence across digital publishing, affiliate commerce, and creator-focused technology. Alongside her husband Thomas and entrepreneur Chloé Watts, she is also involved with Coreli, a platform focused on helping creators build more elevated digital landing pages and branded experiences. Berolzheimer said maintaining audience trust has remained central to every stage of her business growth. “Your audience can feel the difference between something that comes from your real life and something you're posting for the algorithm,” she said. “Over time, that is what builds trust.” By ML Staff.

    At Milan Design Week 2026, Visionnaire unveiled its new collection, Rare Matter – A Retro-Brutalist Story. Under the creative direction of Eleonore Cavalli, the collection explores the intersection of raw materiality and architectural precision, drawing inspiration from the "Retro-Brutalist" aesthetic and the architectural legacy of Carlo Scarpa.

Salone del Mobile Highlights At Rho Fiera, the Visionnaire stand featured a fluid sequence of environments defined by a warm 1970s-inspired palette of amber, mustard, and caramel.

The exhibition includes the Axiom dining table and Stealth systems, drawing inspiration from the hillside villa architecture of John Lautner. Déjà-Vu at Piazza Cavour: The brand reactivated its historical archive by reissuing the Bachi and Cigno armchairs from the 1970s. The showroom’s Wunderkammer was transformed into a "Listening Room" inspired by 1970s clubs, featuring a curated vinyl program and custom sound systems. Collaboration with Marc Ange The Visionnaire Milano showroom also debuted a new collaboration with designer Marc Ange. The capsule includes the monumental Macrodosing table with a multi-wood base and the Sfogliatella wall light, which is carved from a single block of marble.
