Whether guest editing at German publisher Gestalten or collaborating with global magazine Monocle, Santiago Rodriguez Tarditi has analyzed subcultures and subverted their taboo in his writings. His latest endeavor with the aforementioned purveyor of coffee table books takes a deep dive into the weed industry and how legalization has paved the way for a new generation of design-savvy entrepreneurs and consumers. Following the recent release of High On Design, the self-acclaimed stoner weighs in on the novel aesthetics of the industry and gives a critical view on the politics and history, as well as the sexiest products, sleekest dispensaries, and most creative movers and shakers.

“Launching a book about cannabis is the ultimate way of telling the world you’re a stoner. It’s not like I was hiding it (my friends and family have known about my passion for the plant for many years), but, unfortunately, it’s a thorny issue that most people don’t openly talk about.

Look closer: the rounded shapes also evoke a blossoming flower, or perhaps a birds-eye views of a carefully manicured hedge maze. With a French name that translates to “the garden,” the rug pens a love letter to founder Julia Tonconogy Pfeiffer’s heritage—a frequent inspiration for her burgeoning Buenos Aires studio’s growing collection of custom floor coverings.

Scandinivian furniture connoisseurs, rejoice. Carl Hansen & Søn has reissued Hans J. Wegner’s CH78 lounge chair, which stands out in the catalog as one of his coziest designs. Affectionately called the Mama Bear chair, the CH78 was introduced in 1954 after the success of Wegner’s more compact, but similarly sculptural CH71. The Mama Bear features an organic, curving shape with a high backrest punctuated by smooth wooden armrests and legs. Wegner prioritized comfort as well as aesthetics—upward-angled armrests and a curving back create coziness with structural integrity.

When: Until Dec. 3

Where: Ortuzar Projects and Cheim & Read, New York

What: Across three spaces in uptown and downtown Manhattan, this major exhibition spotlights the artist’s first decade in the city, in which she created sparkle and metallized knot sculptures, lozenge-shaped wax paintings, and a selection of gilded wall sculptures inspired by Greek caryatids. Taken as a whole, these bodies of work portray Benglis’s radical experiments with materials and formidable influence on contemporary sculpture, working at the forefront of post-Minimalism alongside peers Eva Hesse and Bruce Nauman.

Every year, Fentress Architects challenges design students to reimagine airports of the future. Since the competition launched in 2011, thousands of entries have competed, each offering innovative design schemes that foreshadow how airport terminals may evolve with shifting travel needs. “Each year, the submissions we receive are more innovative, spirited, and dynamic than the prior year, which shows an exciting outlook for the future of terminal design,” says firm president, CEO, and principal of design Curtis Fentress. This year’s theme tasked students with reimagining mobility for one of the world’s 20 busiest airports in 2100.

The Green Gateway, designed by Nikhil Bang and Kaushal Tatiya from SCI-Arc, took home top honors. Their proposal transforms Indira Gandhi International Airport into a zero-emission multimodal hub that reduces the environmental impact of air travel while enhancing mobility across New Delhi, one of the world’s most populous and polluted cities. It features a central terminal surrounded by six towers, located around the city, that act as air-purifying centers and stations for flying cars, serving as alternatives to domestic flights. The winning team receives a $15,000 prize; browse the full shortlist.
