Luca Pronzato Launches Casa Ideale

June 10, 2026

Luca Pronzato and WE ARE ONA launch Casa Ideale, a new hospitality project that brings together talent from the worlds of art, gastronomy, and design. Based in Arles' Villa Bank, a historic property originally designed by Émile Sala in the 1970s, the residence is the first iteration of the project, which has been conceived as a series of high-end guest houses functioning as cultural living spaces. After years of collaboration with chefs and designers, Pronzato envisioned Casa Ideale as a way of living where culture becomes an intrinsic part of everyday life. The space is a distinctive blend of minimalist staging and uniquely designed pieces.

The property will officially open in July during the first week of the "Rencontres de la Photographie" festival with an inaugural exhibition titled "Prologue", which has been curated in partnership with Fondazione Sozzani. It will feature 67 photographs from Carla Sozzani's personal collection.

Iconic New York Corners on Prada Mode

June 09, 2026

Danish film director, Nicolas Winding Refn, and Japanese video game creator, Hideo Kojima, are worlds away, but their friendship transcends distance, language barriers, and even time. Building off of last year’s exhibition of the same title, Satellites II expands on human connection and communication. As a project of Prada Mode, — a contemporary cultural series bridging diverse audiences and luminaries — the city’s historic hot spots transform into immersive, engaging galleries.

During the initial private days, Prada Mode welcomes its members-club to talks, workshops, performances, parties, screenings hosted in The Hotel Chelsea. The following days open to the public, with four additional iconic New York corners acting as site-specific installations. As an immersive cosmic voyage about communication and connection, Satellites II bridges culture to foreign spaces.

The Hotel Chelsea makes a perfect location to narrate a reflection on public, domestic, and intimate environments, balancing private spaces and collective accessibility. Perhaps Refn and Kojima could have been strangers in a shared lobby space, but as fate would have it, the two share a friendship that isn’t deterred by cultural nuances, foreign dialects, or tens of thousands of miles. Their collaboration is one rooted in pure creativity, not bound by technicalities such as language but encouraged by raw feeling. Together, their dialogue explores the shared fundamental need to create and the failure encoded in the process of creation, experiences that define humanity and our approach to art.

As the city’s beacon for the aspiring creative community and symbol of cultural intersection, the hotel hosts the two day series of exclusive programming. Programming features the Prada Mode Channel, a bespoke broadcast in the vein of a cable station. In collaboration with journalist and TV-host, Mikael Bertelsen, the variety of programs invoke analog television troupes from talk shows to horoscopes to music performances. The channel acts as a portal to Satellites II, reiterating the 1970s-80s as a potent element to American culture. As a similar homage, a screening curated by the two will display three cult classics Japanese anime films at the Angelika Film Center during one of the following days open for the public.

Satellites II continued on-site for public view at The Hotel Chelsea, Prada Broadway, and Kat’z Delicatessen. Two futuristic television stands depict Refn and Kojima, who are in conversation. A huge chrome Prada vending machine glows white light and gifts guests exclusive Prada Mode merchandise. At Kat'z Deli, guests also receive a treat from Juno the Bakery, a Copenhagen delicacy (Refn's home country). During the exclusive first night, Kat'z Deli flipped over the tables to reveal a dancefloor lit by the restaurant's neon signs. The multiday event blended public spaces with private exclusivity, not hindering the flow of the space’s intended market but honoring human entanglement. The creative installations bypass origin and intention, place and time, such as the historic spaces they were held in.

Berlin Night After Glow Documents The Rawness of Post-Nightlife Faces

Berlin nightlife is less about places and parties than about the human beings who create them. I wanted to capture not just who these people are, but who nightlife allows them to be.

Noltekuhlmann’s photography book, Berlin Night After Glow, is all about capturing hedonism in its rawest form. His aim is never to pose his subjects, but to allow the liminality of such an experience to expose itself in the shape of facial expression and body language. The Los Angeles and Berlin-based photographer pictured more than 350 people immediately after raving and clubbing in Berlin. Some were overcome with emotion or exhaustion, and others were overcome with euphoria or vulnerability. The states of mind pictured in these images are residual signs of nights fully lived.

Brought forth by Kehrer Verlag, Berlin Night After Glow is a book that shows us just how ritualistic and how sacred acts like dancing and partying can be. They are experiences that heighten emotions, blood flow, and connection with the self all at once. They prompt fashion choices that are “fetish-inspired” and disrupt traditional gender norms. These byproducts are all inevitable ones, because to surrunder your body to the art of the party is also to let go of the inhibitions that stump the emergence of our true selves in our day-to-day lives.
