Poltrona Frau Marks 60 Years of Dezza with Rare Reissue
Poltrona Frau pays tribute to one of its most iconic creations with the release of a limited-edition reissue of the Dezza armchair, originally designed by the legendary Gio Ponti in 1965. The commemorative collection, limited to just 60 individually numbered and certified pieces, celebrates six decades of design excellence and marks a pivotal moment in the brand's legacy. The Dezza armchair was the first product to define Poltrona Frau's new identity post its move to Tolentino in 1962. Known for its geometric minimalism blended with subtle curves, the armchair remains a hallmark of timeless modernist design. This exclusive 60th anniversary edition is upholstered in Pelle Frau® ColorSphere Impact Less leather, reflecting the brand's sustainability ethos introduced in 2022. Available in sophisticated Panna and Iris shades, the palette recalls the serene coastal interiors of the Hotel Parco dei Principi in Sorrento—also designed by Ponti. The standout element of this re-edition is a unique pattern based on a previously unpublished illustration by Gio Ponti, featuring 26 stylized hands, each named and imbued with whimsical identity—from 'the gloved hand' to 'the fortune teller's hand'. This motif symbolizes the craftsmanship and 'intelligence of the hands' central to Poltrona Frau's values. Each of the 60 pieces includes a metal tag with its edition number and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, reinforcing its status as a collectible design object. Poltrona Frau CEO Nicola Coropulis said, 'This limited edition not only honors Gio Ponti's creative vision but also enriches its cultural value through material innovation and a deeper design narrative.' Available online in select European markets from February 13 to April 1, the Dezza limited edition will then be made available through selected Poltrona Frau stores worldwide. The reissue not only revives a design masterpiece—it also bridges past and future, celebrating a legacy of craftsmanship with a sustainable, contemporary spirit.

This ice cream shop has been named the best in New York
We know that we are preaching to the choir here, but it bears repeating: it is hot AF outside. Sure, only a few months ago we collectively threw our hands up to the gray skies, wishing for warmer days. But this? Two showers a day, hot? A transportation system that doubles as a sauna, hot? Tying a 140-year-old heat record, hot? It's a no for me dawg. But seeing as how complaining alone can't lower the temp in the air (or else, there would be a winter freeze by now), New York City is offering ways to keep cool, activating citywide cooling centers and reopening 60 plus outdoor public pools come this Friday. But the best way we know how to cool off? Ice cream. Yes, the combo of dairy, cream and sugar by the scoop, sundae and the pint is just the cure even the hottest of heads. Just in time for this heatwave, we recently updated our list of best ice cream shops in NYC. And this year, an Italian-inspired spot was crowned the number one spot. Caffè Panna made our number one top spot for all things swirled and scooped in 2025. Hallie Meyer is the owner behind the shop, powered by a lifelong love for all things ice cream. And we aren't just saying that—Meyer's love for cream and sugar goes deep, like a five-month residency working in gelaterias across Rome, deep. Cleary inspired by the silky scoops she found abroad, she returned stateside, scooping ice cream in the South Bronx before opening a brick-and-mortar in Gramercy in 2019. Last year, she took her custardy creations over to Greenpoint, opening a second location with roomy enough digs for a production facility and enough space to finally enjoy your scoops inside. While the shop's standard scoops are enough to make us brave the line (which there always is one), it's Meyer's rotating cast of specials (think pie crust and Sungold tomatoes and olive oil) that keep us coming back. Plus, the introduction of shaved Italian granitas topped with the signature Panna imported straight from the motherland, helps too. Right behind it, a Portland import made its debut nabbing the number two spot: Salt & Straw. Chain it may be, Salt & Straw's buttermilk-heavy scoops know how to keep things interesting, and we aren't just saying that because there are unlimited samples. Incorporating itself into the fold of the city, both Upper West Side and Chelsea locations (they opened both within a few months of each other) have exclusive scoops only found in NYC, including a babka version and a semi-savory smoked pastrami option sourced from famed Carnegie Deli. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dominek Tubbs (@domnthecity) Dubbed 'Harlem's Finest Ice Cream Shop,' Sugar Hill Creamery is also one of our favorite local parlors, coming in at number three. While Nicholas and Petrushka Bazin Larsen's seasonal scoops of handmade carrot cake in the winter and strawberry basil lemon in the summer are enough to top the list, this ice cream shop receives close-to-top honors because of its ties to the community. (Inside, the walls feature rotating portraits of those who live in the neighborhood.) The flavors follow suit, as the Asap Rocky Road nods to the famous rapper who grew up in Harlem and their current flavor, Sonia's Pound Cake made with rosemary, apricot and chunks of pound cake, was made in collaboration with local Harlem-based influencer Dominek Tubbs of @domnthecity. The list rounds out with black sesame and pandan scoops in Chinatown and egg creams and sundaes from an ice cream OG in Carroll Gardens. Looking to cool off? Check out the full list of our best ice cream shops in the city.

Diamond artisan's family donates organs, saving 7 lives
Surat: Bharat Shingala, a diamond artisan from Kotha Pipariya village in Dhari taluka of Amreli district and his family showed incredible humanity by donating the organs of his wife, Panna (51), after her death, giving seven people a new lease on life. Bharat earns a reduced monthly salary of Rs 15,000 due to the ongoing slowdown in the diamond industry. Despite financial constraints and emotional turmoil, he and his family made the life-affirming decision to donate Panna's organs after she was declared brain dead. Panna, a housewife, had been admitted to Kiran Hospital on April 12 after complaining of a severe headache. Doctors diagnosed a brain haemorrhage, and though she underwent two surgeries, she was later declared brain dead. A 34-year-old man from Surat received a lung, while a 42-year-old patient in Mumbai underwent a liver transplant. Two Surat residents — a 38-year-old woman and a 57-year-old man — were given kidneys. A 43-year-old woman from Surat received a hand transplant, and two corneas restored the vision of a 40-year-old woman from Hyderabad and a 62-year-old man. In a remarkable feat, all of Panna's organs were harvested and successfully transplanted into recipients on the same day at Kiran Hospital. "The eligible recipients were promptly admitted once the organs became available, and the transplants were carried out in a short span by multiple teams of doctors," the hospital is authorised to perform transplants of various organs, said Mathur Savani, chairman of Kiran Hospital.

"We spent around Rs 3.15 lakh on Panna's treatment, surgeries, and medicines during her final days," said Hiren, Bharat's brother. "It's been painful emotionally and financially, but knowing we helped others live a better life gives us peace." Bharat's daughter, Devanshi, has completed her bachelor of education, while his son, Nihar, recently appeared for his Class XII exams.
