When the former President Barack Obama was elected President at dinner of the correspondents of the White House in 2011 about the “Celebrity Apprentice” host Donald Trump, he showed an illustration of the American presidential residence, which was illustrated as a trump-managed hotel, casino and presidency suite. There were golden columns, bathers who laze about in a whirlpool on the North, and a neon sign on the facade on which the “White House” was under a Trump logo.
“He would certainly bring a few changes to the White House,” said Obama. The idea that Trump would bring his bright, golden aesthetics to the presidency was ridiculous at the time, but Trump is now laughing.
Trump has certainly brought changes to the White House since his return and at a tangible, visible level. Although there is still no whirlpool on the North lawn, Trump converts the physical office to an extent that he did not do during his first term. Be Replacing a painting by Obama by a painting of himself Last week, an exclamation sign for the renovation set in several months and conveyed a simple message. Would you like to know how Trump looks at the presidency office when he reaches 100 days in his second term? Take a look at his physical office.
The newly installed painting by Trump, who pumps his fist into the air after the attack against him was painted against him Marc LippA pop artist in Südflorida, who paints portraits of pop culture figures, which they could find in an uninspiring Wynwood wall gallery, and replaces Obama's portrait of Robert McCurdy. Together with the Humsy newspaper title page shows Trump's search photos Outside the Oval Office and a Gold Trump Crest over a door that the Wall Street Journal was recently reported, it is the course for a man who has largely earned his money by licensing his name and its similarity. Trump has always liked that his physical environment himself is referenced, and the white house increasingly reflects with pictures on which he was hanging on the walls during the 2024 campaign.
Trump's style is exaggerated and this tendency continues. He finds in the oval office with flags for every military department and portrait maxxxxports with about a dozen presidential portraits that direct the wall. From the portrait of the first television president of America, Ronald Reagan, the second television president of America, Trump, TV presenter Bill Maher recently said: “You know the best thing about him?” His hair. “
Image is everything and Trump as an interior design is like a magician who builds his OZ. In the Oval Office, he decorates with artifacts that amazed the guests and confuse the audience online and watch them on TV. There is a copy of the declaration of independence that is hidden behind a curtain. A blunt golden trophy for the FIFA World Championship, which, like the Metall -Orbit Mieder -lady Gaga, designed to promote monster ball is striking at his desk, and there is an oversized Penny, the currency he swore behind him. His “Golf of America” card is still there and everything is gold.
“It is the golden office for the golden age”, Karoline Leavitt, press spokeswoman for the White House told the Wall Street Journal For a story about John Icart, a cabinet maker in Südflorida who worked for Mar-A-Lago before Trump knocked him onto the White House with golden decorations. Icart added golden carvings to the coat and gold cladding on the crown shape of the Oval Office. The gold chores were brought directly by Mar-A-Lago, and Ivy, who was once exhibited on the coat in previous administrations, was replaced by golden trophies.
This is decor of the White House, as if Biff Tannen, the high school school in Back to the Future, who became the mayor of Hill Valley in an alternative timeline and lived in a brand casino called “Pleasure Paradise”. Or “Caesars Palace on the Potomac”, as the New York Times Columnist Maureen Dowd put it. During Trump's first term, his most controversial decorative decision was the Oval Office a portrait of Andrew Jackson, but he goes much further for his second term and lets it feel at home.
How Trump tries expand On the state, its physical environment reflects its political agenda. In the new instructions of the White House like a Trump ownership, Trump made the most famous address in America in his picture.

The torches developed for Milano Cortina in 2026, the Olympic and Paralympic winter games in Italy next year, were manufactured in the service of the flame.
Called EssentialThe reusable, ultra-minimalist torch has an equipped open top design to show the viewers how the flame is created because “what is important is not the torch, but the flame,” says the Italian architect and engineer Carlo Ratti.
The design should show the flame in motion. “The open top design is crucial for how the flame is brought to life,” explains Ratti, who designed the flashlight with his company of the same name Studio Carlo Ratti Associati. The torches were developed by Eni and Versalis, both official followers of the games, and the Italian manufacturer Cavagna Group developed their production.
Each torch has an air intake near the upper cone with which oxygen can be mixed with organic gas. “A warmer, more natural yellow flame produces-one that coincides with the Olympic spirit that is far better than the cold, blue flame of many torches,” he says, adding that it was tested in wind tunnels and real-time process.
“When the flashlight is in motion, the same openness helps to produce what we call as a” flag flame “, a dynamic, horizontal flame that moves behind the flashlight button while running,” says Ratti.
The 2026 games are the most common ever because it is the first Winter Olympics, which are named after two cities, Milan and Cortina, and are kept in several regions in several regions in northern Italy. This is a geographically large Olympic Games, but the design of the Essential Torches convey an opposite message of minimalism to do more with less.
The Torches are light, each about £ 2 without their fuel canister, which can be refilled and reused up to 10 times. This reduces the total number of torches that have to be produced for the 63-day Olympic torch relay, which begins on November 26th before the opening ceremony on February 6, 2026.
The burners of the torches run with fuel from renewable materials such as food oil and are made of recycled aluminum and brass alloy, which are covered with a reflective, dazzling finish in two colors – a turquoise blue for the Olympic Games and a shiny bronze for the paralympics.
The equipment of the modern Olympic Games offers catering cities the opportunity to demonstrate their culture, industries and their style. This is a unique opportunity to present the legacy of a state on a global stage like the Paris 2024 medals, which also included parts of the Eiffel Tower. However, a magnifying glass for design breakdowns is increased – as the same medals that have to be replaced due to a deterioration.
For northern Italy, the games are a chance to demonstrate the status of Milan as the world leader in design. The torches were presented both in the Triennale di Milano, an art and design museum in Milan and in the Italian pavilion in the Expo 2025 Osaka in Japan.
Raffaella Paniè, director of fire, identity and the “appearance of the games” for Milano Cortina 2026, says that the torches are named Essential Because you optimally use the necessary minimum and let the flame steal the show. The same minimalist approach is to create the stage for the rest of the aesthetics of the games.
“If we look at the Italian design in accordance with our Italian spirit and want to be alive, dynamic and contemporary, we can expect future design elements such as medals and podium to reflect this aspect,” she says.
