LEATHER-SHEATHED TABLE FOOTBALL SET

When one of France’s oldest table football manufacturers joins forces with Geneva’s oldest sheathing company, the leather-covered game becomes a unique design object, which can for example be tailored to match the color of its owner’s yacht.

PICASSO AT LES TROIS ROIS

Pablo Picasso had taste, as evidenced by his visit to Chez Donati, one of the restaurants of the famous 5-star Les Trois Rois. Basel’s most popular palace hotel has designed a tailor-made Picasso package in his honor, including a visit to the Beyeler Foundation during its retrospective on the blue and pink periods of the young Picasso. His paintings and sculptures are thus visible until the end of May 2019. It’s time to treat yourself to a suite with a view of the Rhine (to be booked on lestroisrois.com), especially since its wine steward has just been elected Sommelier of the Year by the Michelin Guide.

GÜBELIN JEWELLERY AT ARTGENÈVE

Sponsor of artgenève, the Lucerne-based jeweler showered the Geneva art show with a torrent of colors by associating with the artist Athene Galiciadis, who drew inspiration for her “Stool” sculpture from Gübelin’s Red Dalhia. Adorned in variously colored sapphires and diamonds, this jewel contains a Burmese ruby at its heart, of which the spectacular interior life was revealed by microphotographs influencing the design of this High Jewelry creation.
