Meet the Fine Jeweler Giving Women a Glittering Defense
Caragh Mckay reports from London on a fine jeweler's medieval inspirations; a regal showcase of the UK's best jewelers and silversmiths; and Chanel's latest in wearable tech.
Last week during Art Basel Miami Beach, The Grand Tourist joined the French luxury design house of Liaigre at their showroom in the city’s design district for a lively panel conversation, “Living With Liaigre.” Marking the tenth anniversary of the space in the District, Dan moderated a panel of experts—including Miami-based architect Alejandro Barrios-Carrero, art consultant Arthur Duncan, Sanlorenzo Yachts style director Sergio Buttiglieri, and Liaigre’s communications director Anne Schuhmacher—to chat about the unique breadth of expertise Liaigre has in everything from bespoke residential interiors and furniture design to the house’s extensive experience in the nautical world.
“Even though I never met Christian Liaigre personally, I always felt an affinity for his incredible style,” said Barrios-Carrero, whose portfolio includes the beloved restaurant Juvia, as well as the Four Seasons Brickell. “The company’s incredible sense of modernity and materiality that live on to this day have deeply influenced my entire career.” Photographs by Eric Petschek.
