Author and former British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful has teamed up with Austrian printmaker Litoâs conservation arm, Lito Masters, to reimagine some of Claude Monetâs oeuvre. Long captivated by the venerable Impressionist painterâs works from the Musée dâOrsay and Musée de lâOrangerie collections, Enniful and team relied on Litoâs proprietary printing technology to ensure that the limited-edition prints emulate texture, relief, and brushstrokes with precision. This attention to detail can be seen throughout the collectionâs eight prints, which primarily highlight fragments pulled from Monetâs transportive Water Lilies series.

The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) has released its 2024 Economic Outlook Report, an annual review of the economic indicators and progressions impacting the industry. Signs of resilience anchored this yearâs report: Despite above-average inflation and spiked interest rates, the economy stayed strong. Industry employment growth is sustainable, however, with high-vacancy rates in office real estate, diminishing demand for home improvements, and construction slowdowns, analysts point to a potential recession in mid-2025. Still, the ASID report predicts spending on lodging and office construction will see a slight increase next year.
