Next month, Nick Ozemba and Felicia Hung, the co-founders of the Brooklyn-based design studio In Common With, plan to open Quarters, a shop housed in a 19th-century TriBeCa loft. The 8,000-square-foot space is laid out like a well-appointed home: Guests enter through the library and can wander the great room, bedroom, dining room, kitchen, bar and lounge at their leisure. Everything within — furniture, lighting, art and even the pantry provisions — is available for purchase. Ozemba and Hung collaborated with several of their creative friends on the objects and décor that fill the space. They designed the tiling throughout with the New York City-based artist Shane Gabler, while a fresco depicting eels with earrings by the painter Claudio Bonuglia adorns a portion of the bar and lounge, which will open for evening service beginning this summer. The furniture on display is a mix of restored vintage pieces and new designs by Ozemba and Hung, some of which can be customized with imagery drawn up by various tattoo artists. “We’ll be able to sit down with people and play,” Ozemba says of the space’s potential to spur conversation and inspire new projects. “Retail shouldn’t be so serious. Take off your shoes and have a glass of wine.”
When Is The Next Eclipse Going To Happen? This Is Where And When
08.04.2024 - 17:33 / forbes.com / Sydney Harbour
If you just saw your first total solar eclipse—or you are desperate to see another—here’s where and when to go to experience another totality:
When: August 12, 2026
Location: Greenland, Iceland and Northern Spain
Maximum duration: two minutes 18 seconds
It has been over 25 years since mainland Europe witnessed a total solar eclipse. The path of totality will begin in Greenland, pass through Iceland, cross the Atlantic Ocean and reach Northern Spain. This eclipse will not be visible in Madrid or Barcelona, but it will end just beyond the island of Majorca in the Mediterranean Sea.
Arguably the best place to experience maximum totality will be off the coast of Reykjavik, Iceland during the cruising and whale-watching season. You might also have a chance to witness the northern lights during totality—or more likely after dark. Intrepid eclipse-chasers may choose to observe the rare sight of a dramatic eclipsed sunset from the west coast of Majorca.
When: August 2, 2027
Location: North Africa
Maximum duration: six minutes 23 seconds
If you could witness only one total solar eclipse in your lifetime, this is the one to choose. Every 18 years in the 21st century, there is a massive six-plus minutes totality, and this is the next one. This eclipse will be visible in northern Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Yemen and southern Spain, but for most eclipse-chasers, there will only be two places to be: Luxor in Egypt or Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
You could experience life-changing totality for six minutes and 20 seconds under probable clear skies, in front of Karnak, Luxor Temple, or the expansive Temple of Hatshepsut in Luxor, Egypt.
When: July 22, 2028
Location: Australia and New Zealand
Maximum duration: five minutes five seconds
Australia and New Zealand will be the only places to witness a long totality in 2028, starting from Christmas Island, the wild Kimberley coast, and the Bungle Bungles of Western Australia to the Northern Territory’s Devil’s Marbles, the Blue Mountains, and Sydney Harbour. However, Sydney will be crowded with many people and the chance of clear weather is so-so. Dedicated eclipse-chasers will prefer to be in the outback for a longer totality and a higher chance of clear skies. Milford Sound and Queenstown in New Zealand will also experience totality.
When: November 25, 2030
Location: Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Lesotho and Australia
Maximum duration: three minutes 44 seconds
This one will require some big decisions. Totality will occur shortly after sunrise from Namibia’s Skeleton Coast before moving across Durban in South Africa. The path of totality will then stretch across a remote part of the Indian Ocean before a low-setting eclipsed sunset will be
