Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at Astier de Villatte x John Derian, I Love Decorating by Nathan Turner, and La Veste Comes to New York. Written by Natalie Aldridge.
Astier de Villatte x John Derian
From a delightful cabinet of curiosities emerges the latest presentation from Astier de Villatte and John Derian, arriving just in time for Milan Design Week. It may well be one of the most charming moments of the season.
To celebrate fifteen years of collaboration, the duo has unveiled a collection of nearly one hundred entirely unique ceramic works at Astier de Villatte’s gallery on Via dell’Orso. While the setting is undeniably refined, what unfolds inside is anything but restrained. Plates, dishes, and vases become miniature worlds, hung on the walls like paintings or placed on pedestals like small sculptures, each one drawing you in.
The story begins, as so many good ones do, by accident. A kiln test in Astier’s Paris atelier sparked the spontaneous creation of the collection. During the test, Audrey, the head of ceramic decoration, scattered unrelated images across a single plate, simply to see what might happen. What emerged was something unexpected, a layered and slightly surreal composition that felt like a perfect accident. That initial moment quickly evolved into a full collection, with Derian joining the team in Paris for an intense two day creative sprint.
Playful and poetic, Astier de Villatte’s reverence for craft, its softly imperfect white ceramics rooted in eighteenth century tradition, grounds the collection. Derian’s imagery, layered, nostalgic, and just a touch surreal, lifts it into something more imaginative. Together, it is a perfect pairing and a truly one of a kind collection.
I Love Decorating by Nathan Turner
There is something deeply inspiring about a designer who reminds us that a home should feel lived in, not just looked at. With I Love Decorating, designer Nathan Turner does exactly that, offering a refreshingly personal take on what makes a space truly beautiful.
At The Glam Pad, we have long admired Nathan’s work for its sense of ease, its distinctly Americana spirit, and, perhaps most importantly, its relatability. His interiors never feel overworked or out of reach. They invite you in. There is a warmth to them, a lived-in quality that feels both aspirational and entirely attainable, a balance that is not so easy to strike.
Spanning projects from beachside bungalows to penthouse apartments and relaxed country houses, Nathan’s work is defined by individuality and comfort. In this book, he pulls back the curtain on that process, tracing the evolution of a project from the earliest spark of an idea through to the realities of execution. This book, though, is not a manual but a conversation, one grounded in instinct, experience, and a genuine love of home.
What sets I Love Decorating apart is its embrace of the imperfect. These are not rigidly composed interiors, but spaces layered with memory, travel, and personality. The effect is collected yet relaxed, polished but never precious.
With personal anecdotes, practical guidance, and a wealth of never-before-seen projects, the book invites readers to approach decorating with more freedom and confidence. Shop the book here!
La Veste Comes to New York
The fun and colorful La Veste, a brand we have long loved, is bringing its joyful world to New York with a pop-up at 262 Mott Street from May 20th to 24th.

Founded by Blanca Miró and María de la Orden, La Veste has become a favorite for its exuberant prints, spirited sense of humor, and wonderfully unfussy approach to style. At The Glam Pad, we have always admired the way the brand embraces color and character with such confidence. It feels playful, deeply considered, and, of course, chic, something rarely found in fashion brands today.

Part fashion fantasy, part treasure hunt, La Veste’s world is filled with striped knits, folkloric embroideries, charming tailoring, and the sort of pieces that instantly make getting dressed feel more fun. There is a touch of old-world charm to it all that we find irresistible.

A New York pop-up feels like the perfect excuse to step inside that world, even if only for an afternoon. If you’re anything like me, just stepping into their pop-up will surely bring a smile to your face. Don’t forget to stop by come May, or shop La Veste online today.
