Tidbits and offerings from the world of design

Nestled within the heart of a 32-hectare forest sanctuary in one of Japan’s most revered cultural centres, the newly opened Aman Kyoto goes beyond mere comfort and luxury to offer stays that deliver on the promise of relaxation and contemplation in exquisite surroundings. Designed by the talented team at Kerry Hill Architects, the aesthetic at Aman’s third property in the country is distinctively Japanese, with tatami mats on the floors, handmade raku tile panels, and decorative tokonoma alcoves throughout the property. Indeed, it is a place where tradition and modernity are woven together into a most harmonious experience. www.amankyoto.com
