Italian Table Linens From a Storied Textile House and the New York Clothing Brand Attersee

To cover the tables, Wilkinson Schor (a former T editor) purchased linens from a favorite Florence-based textile house, Loretta Caponi. Now, three years later, the two brands have collaborated on Attersee’s first housewares collection, inspired by the archival pieces used that night. The two new patterns feature hand-embroidered twists on classic Loretta Caponi motifs and styles. One, called Frames, is an Art Deco look with a trio of lines stitched in custom bordeaux-red thread around the edge of the linen to create the illusion of a picture frame. The other, Ajour, is inspired by a 1970s Loretta Caponi openwork pattern and named for the French embroidery technique it employs to create a delicate series of small squares with pointelle lines. The designs are available on runners, place mats and napkins. Both collections also include cocktail napkins adorned with small clovers, a Loretta Caponi signature. From $350, shopattersee.com.

A Serene Boutique Hotel in Miami’s North Beach
ImageMaison Felix, which opens this week in Miami, is centered around a pool and courtyard.Credit...Namron HospitalityMiami’s North Beach is the more laid-back counterpart to the better-known South Beach but with the same white sand, plus its fair share of Argentine bakeries and Peruvian ceviche spots. Maison Felix, a hotel that opens this week in the area, channels that relaxed feel with a palm-shaded swimming pool in its courtyard and rooms painted in terra cotta or deep blue. Housed in a 1948 building, the 29 rooms are spread across two stories: Those on the ground level open onto the courtyard, while the ones above have vaulted ceilings. The décor, which includes custom cream-colored bouclé sofas, handmade patterned cushions and vegan leather headboards, is earthy yet elegant. Each room also features a painting by the Miami artist Mark Cherry, commissioned exclusively for the hotel, that can be purchased by guests. From $300 a night, maisonfelix.miami.
