A Minimalist Respite in Mexico City
By Michaela Trimble
When Roberta Maceda, the Octavia , purchased a dilapidated building with her mother in the leafy Condesa neighborhood of Mexico City in 2018, she enlisted the architect Pablo Pérez Palacios to transform it into her dream bed-and-breakfast. The result is the seven-room Octavia Casa : a contemporary three-story refuge whose facade is lined with golden teak panels and steel planters overflowing with native flowering plants like monstera deliciosa chukum , a traditional Mayan stucco — is a breezy seating area with bamboo stools centered around a concrete table by the interior architecture firm Habitación 116 . In the adjacent courtyard, guests can linger over breakfasts of ciabatta bread with honey and homemade hibiscus-and-ginger jam beneath the shade of a guava tree. Within each room, some of which contain reading nooks and oversize rattan chairs, are Octavia bed linens and bathrobes and, for a subtle, decorative accent, cream-colored Encrudo Rooms start at $145, octaviacasa.mx .

The Life and Work of Josef and Anni Albers
By Thessaly La Force
When it comes to great creative partnerships, there’s perhaps no better example than Josef and Anni Albers , two artists who met in Germany in 1922 at the Bauhaus school. Later, the couple immigrated to the United States to teach at North Carolina’s Black Mountain College and they ultimately ended up in New Haven, Conn., where Josef was chairman of the design department at Yale University. The two were teachers, colleagues and friends of a number of prominent 20th-century artists, including Ruth Asawa , Buckminster Fuller, Ray Johnson and Robert Rauschenberg. Now, a new monograph, published by Phaidon and written by Nicholas Fox Weber, who runs the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation , and who met the couple in 1971, when he was 23, captures in masterful detail the many sides of the Alberses, including their rigor as artists (Josef as painter and designer; Anni as textile artist and printmaker), their deep commitment to pedagogy “Anni & Josef Albers: Equal and Unequal,” $150, phaidon.com .

Osma, the Portable Coffee Maker
By Rima Suqi
As an avid coffee drinker who has recently become more interested in the personal brewing experience (from the pour-over to the French press), I was intrigued to learn about Osma, a new portable machine that makes a perfect cup of coffee (or tea) Brava Home (maker of a countertop oven that uses visible and infrared light), to design a brewing vessel that prioritizes efficiency and minimalism: “I didn’t want to create another device that took up a large amount of real estate on someone’s countertop,” says Roth. Elegant and compact, the Osma is assembled by hand in the San Francisco Bay Area and weighs about a pound and a half. And it’s really easy to use: Just insert a pod, pour six ounces of water into the top container, set to the desired strength using the Osma app , hit a button and watch as a delightfully aromatic cup of coffee or tea is made. (The brand currently offers one blend of coffee, from the California-based Chromatic , though $185, drinkosma.com .
