Trove has added a new design to its bold collection of 22 modern wallcoverings. The Trace pattern, which launched in October at Atelier Courbet’s “Made: In New York” retail exhibition, was inspired by North American forests and features an unsystematic silhouette of trees reflected in soothing blue hues. Like many of the designs in Trove’s portfolio, Trace was crafted using a combination of photography and hand drawings on paper with washable, nontoxic, wax-based coatings and UV-resistant inks. Trace is availa…

A former Hertz parking garage now offers some of Greenwich Village’s most desirable condos. Together the developers at DHA Capital and Continental Properties and the architects at CetraRuddy remodeled the 83-year-old building with contemporary touches, which include a four-story glass addition at the top, while remaining true to the original early ’30s design. Only several months after construction began at 12 East 13th Street, five of the building’s eight total units went on the market in November. The highli…

The actor Elizabeth Taylor had a longtime love affair with Bulgari jewelry, which prompted the Italian jewelry house to create a one-of-kind pair of earrings out of 18-karat gold, spinels, turquoise, and diamonds to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the movie release of Cleopatra. With a graphic, geometric shape and vivid colors inspired by ancient Egypt, their contemporary design looks like something plucked from the film’s costume department. It will be on the auction block at Sotheby’s Magnificent Jewels …

Whale-shark sightings and empty surf breaks are among the draws at Maalifushi by Como, the first resort to open in the Maldives’ remote Thaa Atoll.
Why Go: The white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters of the Maldives are unmatched. Maalifushi is on the smaller side for a Maldivian resort, with just 66 accommodations and three eateries. Scuba diving and water activities are the draw, since the surrounding Thaa Atoll is pristine and undeveloped. Divers regularly spot whale sharks (the world’s largest fish), …

The Chedi Andermatt arrives as the crown jewel of a $1.9 billion Alpine development near Zurich.
Why Go: The Ursern valley is one of the coldest places in Switzerland with heavy snow for skiing in winter months and scenic upland landscapes to hike through during the summer. Achieving a modern look while still using traditional materials, the design of the 106-room Chedi (from about $725 per night) references Switzerland’s grand hotels of the early 1900s. The new building was constructed on the site of the for…

To follow up her premier 10-piece furnishings collection of two years ago, interior designer Azadeh Shladovsky has released her new DE+ capsule collection, which also consists of 10 pieces (priced from $6,800 to $29,700; Élan bar shown).

Available through Jean de Merry, 323.655.9193, www.jeandeme…

Life at Montage Deer Valley is far from clichéd. Owners of the resort’s vacation homes, which are located on the six highest floors, do not reside among plaid-upholstered furnishings or the other ubiquitous trappings of typical mountain retreats. Instead, buyers can opt for one of the luxury property’s fully furnished condominiums, which, with overstuffed leather sofas, plush beds, and dark wood accents, showcase the Montage’s mountain-luxe aesthetic, or they can choose from well-appointed designer models that…
