The brand's other Core Washable Collection suits beach houses, pets, and kids; RUGIT also offers soft silk-like Tencel and wool lines, mostly chosen for living and master bedrooms.

The brand offers the following Cleaning & Care solutions/techniques that are perfect for keeping in mind when hosting sizzling outdoor celebrations this Summer:

• Cleaning: RUGIT rugs are 100% washable, and most stains will have a solution. If a stain occurs, the sooner you treat it, the easier it will be to clean.

• Maintenance: Vacuum regularly without the brush attachment. If you want to sweep it, you can with a soft bristle brush, constantly sweeping in the direction of the fibers.

• Minor Stains: Treat on the spot, absorbing the stain with a clean and dry cloth. If there is an excess of the stain, remove it with a spoon or a rounded knife. Clean the area with a damp sponge or soft bristle brush and warm soapy water.

• Liquid Stains: Perform a complete wash with a pressure washer. You can wash the rug in the bathtub if it is small. If it is huge or you do not have enough space for washing, we recommend you resort to a professional. ​

• *We recommend deep cleaning with a hydro washing machine once a year.

• General Care: RUGIT rugs are made entirely of polypropylene threads (100% recyclable material). They can be used indoors and outdoors, are lightweight, and have a relaxed look. Ideal for medium or light traffic. When placed, it may take some time for your rug to settle. It can look wrinkled after being rolled up. This can be solved with the help of a floor drainer.

Annabella Pardo

As the waterfront along North Flagler flourishes into one of South Florida’s most desirable neighborhoods, Savanna, a vertically integrated real estate investment and development firm, announces the launch of sales at Olara, the newest and most exclusive luxury condominium tower in the Palm Beaches.

Located at 1919 N. Flagler Drive, directly across from Palm Beach Island, Olara will bring 80,000 square feet of exceptional indoor and outdoor amenity spaces with access to the area’s best shopping and dining. With sweeping views of the Intracoastal Waterway, Palm Beach and the Atlantic Ocean, Olara was designed by Bernardo Fort-Brescia, founder of the award-winning architecture firm Arquitectonica, as a luxury waterfront residential oasis, distinguished by its resort-inspired lifestyle, private marina and epicurean experiences.

“Olara is poised to transform the waterfront of West Palm Beach into a world-class destination,” said Chris Schlank, President and Co-Chairman of Savanna. “From its proximity to Palm Beach, West Palm Beach’s booming financial district to its picturesque water views, North Flagler will become the nation’s next major corridor for a bespoke live-work-play lifestyle.”

Rising along the Intracoastal Waterway, the 26-story condominium building will be a haven for effortless living, featuring 275 superbly-crafted, luxury residences. Prices for the two- to four-bedroom plus den, homes start at $2 million. Douglas Elliman Development Marketing is overseeing all sales and marketing. A limited collection of penthouse homes, featuring expansive outdoor spaces, including some with private rooftop decks, will also be available.

Boasting a timeless façade with grand, glass terraces, floor-to-ceiling windows and soft curves, Olara’s architecture reflects the water before it. Arquitectonica envisioned the modern tower sitting seamlessly within the natural landscape, while interior design studio Gabellini Sheppard Associates crafted refined interiors for residents’ comfort and well-being. Olara’s elegant homes were designed to be bright and airy, its open spaces bathed in abundant natural light flowing in from floor-to-ceiling windows. The European-style, gourmet kitchens tout white matte lacquer cabinetry, honed Volakas marble countertops, backsplash and island, as well as a full suite of Gaggenau appliances. The spa-inspired, principal bathrooms feature dual water closets, custom floor-standing, oak vanities with Breccia Capraia marble, custom integrated, high-definition, illuminated mirrored medicine cabinets with bronze accents, cohesively tied together white marble floors.

The lifestyle at Olara is enriched by an expansive suite of resort-inspired amenities, also designed by Gabellini Sheppard Associates. Surrounding the property, a 30,000-square-foot, celebrity chef-helmed restaurant and epicurean marketplace will be accessible from the ground floor for residents and locals alike. Residents will also be able to enjoy a private marina on the Intracoastal, one of the nation’s most coveted waterways for yachting, where they can call on the concierge to charter seafaring experiences.

Wellness is a guiding principle at Olara, the property is designed to refresh and reset.

Homes With Insta-worthy Staircases

Briana Gonzalez

We see them everyday- born out of necessity, a means of transport, or perhaps for safety. What was once a thing of elegance, from winding spiral staircases to grand arched double staircases, stairs had quickly become part of the mundane, an after-thought to many. Recently, the evolution of stairs has come around full circle. More and more homeowners are considering the staircase as an integral part of the aesthetic of their home design. Using different materials like metal, wood, and concrete, to match the look of the residence, many are making the staircase a focal point of the home. No longer just for function, these homes include the craftsmanship and creativity of what we are beginning to see in the staircase- working almost like a sculpture.

12 Warren

Tribeca’s most sculptural and avant-garde building to-date, 12 Warren is home to an architecturally driven Townhouse South, an exquisite residence largely defined by a striking sculptural staircase partly finished in board-formed concrete. The eye-catching staircase spans the three levels of the home, weaving a unique design moment that harkens back to the building's bluestone façade throughout the residence. Developed and designed by DDG, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-powder room triplex residence features ceilings up to 22 feet in height, as well as a number of special architectural details including board-formed concrete ceilings, bluestone accents connecting back to the building’s facade, and deep planter boxes with lush greenery.

30 Park Place

Downtown Manhattan's tallest tower, 30 Park Place Four Seasons Private Residences, has been designed by world-renowned architect Robert A.M. Stern and offers 157 ultra-luxury condominiums, including a penthouse selection of 11 half- and full-floor homes, set atop The Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown. Occupying the first 24 floors of the tower and known for its five-star services, experiences, and amenities, The Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown features interiors by famed hospitality duo, Yabu Pushelberg. Making a bold modern statement within the pre-war inspired tower, the grand staircase that leads from the lobby to upstairs event space is one of the focal points of the building. Accessible to 30 Park Place residents, owners may use the secret door that is tucked within the condo lobby, allowing ease between the two spaces without ever having to go outside.

56 Leonard

The critically acclaimed 60-story tower conceived by world-renowned Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron, has officially unveiled its amenity space this week. The dramatic 17,000-square-foot private amenity space, also designed by Herzog & de Meuron, spans the ninth and tenth floors and is connected by a one-of-a-kind circular concrete staircase. The space includes a 75-foot pool with an adjoining landscaped outdoor sun deck and hot tub; Leonard fitness center with yoga studio, steam room and treatment room; library lounge; indoor/outdoor theater; private dining salon; catering kitchen; conference center; and children’s play area

Selene

Located off Park Avenue in the heart of Midtown East, Selene is the latest New York City landmark from Foster + Partners. Soaring 63 stories into the sky, the building features a collection of 94 bespoke quality residences ranging from perfect pied-à-terre one-bedrooms to sprawling full-floor tower homes. Starting from $1.875M, Selene's luminous residences feature elegantly undulating glass walls, high quality finishes unmatched by any other luxury tower, and iconic day-to-night vistas. The building's duplex residence features an intricately crafted spiral staircase as the centerpiece of the stunning home.
