ELGOT FINDS “CLEAN AND CONTEMPORARY” NOW MOST-SELECTED DESIGN BY MANHATTANITES Clean and contemporary, now considered a classic design, is the most requested kitchen style in Manhattan, says Ellen Elias, Owner of Elgot, a family-run business that has been designing and installing New York kitchens and baths since 1945. Elgot features a wide variety of cabinetry from high-quality manufacturers including Craft-Maid, Ultracraft, and Canada’s Irpinia Kitchens, capturing the very essence of today’s contemporary style. Cabinetry manufactured in North America allows Elgot to ensure quality control, reduced lead times and flexibility in design. Irpinia cabinetry (pictured here), with maximized storage always at the forefront, comes in a variety of styles with uncluttered lines –– from a traditional soft white finish to the more cutting-edge aluminum-edged doors with recessed pulls. Craft-Maid cabinetry (also shown here) features luxurious, clean designs with a flare for tradition. More clients have been requesting quartz or porcelain countertops today,” Elias adds, so Elgot offers Neolith, a thin and extremely durable porcelain slab know for even coloration that allows for longer and slimmer surfaces. Elgot’s beautifully-designed kitchens can be seen at elgotkitchens.com or in their showroom on Third Avenue (between 74th and 75th streets).

New Yorkers have the confidence to choose their own palettes, and our pages are saturated with inspiration for that New York state of mind. An Upper East Side manse incorporates a range of blues that echo the river views from its stunning terraces and outdoor living spaces. It’s a great place to spend sultry summer days. Our editors seek out the best in chic stripes—a fun and easy way to update any room. In the Hamptons, a new carriage house surrounded by a Howards End-inspired English country garden incorporates color as an accent, and is an indoor-outdoor setting perfect for the beach.Designers Matthew White and Frank Webb have no fear of color, and they make it sexy and modern in a new apartment designed to look pre-war, on the Upper West Side. Summer in the city is all about making a splash!

CLIQUE EAST SIDE, WEST SIDE, DON’T MISS THESE WARM WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS ALL AROUND TOWN PRODUCED BY DE BOR AH L . MARTIN
PHOTO SYNTHESIS In 1974, photojournalist Cornell Capa (younger brother of Robert Capa) founded the International Center of Photography in an Upper East Side townhouse. Until last year, the center was located in a rented space in Midtown, but now the influential institution has a permanent home. This month ICP opens with a massive exhibit, Public, Private, Secret, in their new digs at 250 Bowery, across the street from the über-hot New Museum. The exhibit—featuring photographers such as Cindy Sherman (above), Andy Warhol, and streams of real time images and video from social media—explores the social implications of an image-centric world. Says Mark Lubell, ICP’s Executive Director, “Images are now produced and exchanged by millions of people globally to communicate complex ideas about everything from urban policing to self-identity.” He continues, “Public, Private, Secret addresses one of the most critical conversations in today’s post-internet society: privacy.” ICP.ORG
Satisfy your craving for all things French, at Le District’s newest offering, L’Appart, helmed by Chef Nicolas Abello (top), formerly of Restaurant Daniel. The tasting menu changes according to market availability and is meant to evoke an intimate dinner in a chef’s home. Says Chef Nicolas, “I will be cooking from my heart for our guests, whom I consider to be our friends.” Menu items might include (above, left to right) hand-rolls of organic zucchini, crottin de champcol, and kiwi chutney; mille-feuille of roasted beets, Comte, an aged balsamic; and a Grand Marnier and citrus baba.

FULL MOON RISING Summer in the city means fun in the sun, and under the stars. The Full Moon Festival, on the beach at Governor’s Island, is a two-day indie festival featuring performances by artists such as Pusha T, Julio Bashmore, and Lolawolf, as well as art exhibits and international food offerings. On August 20th and 21st, rock the Full Moon vibe against panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty. FULLMOONFEST.COM

UNUSUAL ASSEMBLAGE The New Museum on Bowery hosts an exhibition that speaks to the collector in all of us. The Keeper is dedicated to the art of preserving objects from the most precious to the apparently worthless. The multi-level exhibit shows the devotion of artists, scholars, and hoarders. The centerpiece of the exhibit is Partners (The Teddy Bear Project), above, a display of over 3,000 images of people posing with teddy bears. It underscores the symbolic relationship of individuals with their objects of affection. NEWMUSEUM.ORG SEE RESOURCES

COLOUR GENERATION AT COLOURS BY MARTIN IN CHELSEA, MARTIN KESSELMAN SEES THE WORLD THROUGH THE EYES OF AN ARTIST “I’m a hoarder of color,” says Martin Kesselman, of Colours by Martin. “There are never enough colors. I have one of the biggest paint libraries in the city.” Kesselman’s shop, Colours by Martin (the UK spelling of “Colours” is an homage to the British history of the Chelsea area), has been in its current location on Ninth Avenue since 1967, and was established in 1950, by Kesselman’s grandfather. Coming from the art world—Kesselman went to school for fine arts—he has a unique passion for color. “I knew that I would go into the family business, but I never thought I could be this creative.” He frequently works with interior designers as a color expert. “You make strong connections with people when you are in their homes.” He continues, “But I am equally inspired by life outside the home. I want to know what my clients are passionate about.” The shop carries a full range of paint, including Benjamin Moore, C2, and bespoke products such as Farrow & Ball and Donald Kaufman Color. Kesselman says, “I offer a unique experience here. You can walk in and get expert advice from someone in the design industry. As the business grows and evolves, that’s always going to be important.” NYCPAINTCOLORANDDESIGN.COM

NEW ARRIVAL For the first time, Buffalo-based C2 paint will be available at retail in New York City, at Colours by Martin. Says Tom Hill, president of C2, “We needed to be in New York, and we are so thrilled to be a part of what Martin is doing in Chelsea.” The handcrafted palette offers a full range of artist’s pigments, with no black. Says Kesselman, “One of the nice things about C2 is that it is a really true, rich color and there is no lead time. I can make this for a client while they wait.” The 496color palette is inspired by, and designed to mirror the natural world. C2 is also the only company who offers paint chips that are made of actual paint; the color you see on the chip is the color you will see on your wall. C2PAINT.COM 34

has become synonymous with Moroccan style. In 1980, Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé rescued the property from developers and lived there until Saint Laurent’s death in 2008. Says Gore, “The color is pure pigment in a water base. It is so saturated that it becomes its own light source.” With blue as a starting point, the designer decided to accent it with equally bright colors. “When you have a color that intense the rest of the palette has to be able to stand up to it.” No retiring whites and grays here. The dining room is done in an intense gold, the bedroom has a red ceiling and pink walls to contrast with the deep walnut panels in the hallway and the newly created walk-in closets. Gore explains, “if the blue was the only intense color it would overwhelm the eye. But mixed with other saturated colors it becomes much more harmonious.” SEE RESOURCES

same effect is important when a client enters a staged space.” Louise Phillips Forbes, a top broker for Halstead Property, considers staging to be a crucial tool in her work. “We have a concierge mentality,” says Forbes, “and it is imperative that we partner with our sellers to create a story.” She has worked with Mayer to stage apartments for her properties for five years. Says Mayer, “Halstead worked very closely with the developer (in this case Samson Management), and CetraRuddy Architecture, to create something that will appeal to their discerning customers. The apartments I have staged for them have typically sold within weeks of being placed on CONTINUED the market.”

For Forbes, the space at 498 West End Avenue is a great example of this partnership. “Staging completes the story that an individual might not have the eyes to envision on their own.” The circa 1910 building, is an architectural gem incorporating the best components of prewar craft. It is an elegant envelope that contains brand new infrastructure suitable for modern life. "This apartment truly came alive when we were able to tell the story of how luxurious the rooms are when fully furnished." Forbes continues, "Robin's interior design allows our clients to see the possibilities." SEE RESOURCES

PRODUCED BY NICOLE HADDAD
ON THE FAR East End of Long Island’s South Fork, lies a hamlet that has been on the rise for the better part of the last decade—controversy included. A oncequiet fishing and surfing locale, Montauk was one of the Hamptons’ last laidback, blue collar hold-outs—chockfull of old-timer bars, fisherman, and family-run businesses. But recent years have seen an influx of riotous summer crowds that have locals up in arms. Developers and nightclub promoters have taken over shabby but much-loved hangouts and revamped them into hip spots such as The Surf Lodge, and the wild beachfront bar, The Sloppy Tuna (a particular bone of contention for locals). Median sales prices for properties reportedly went up 25 percent just in the first quarter of 2016 and high-end shops like Calypso and Cynthia Rowley have arrived. But it appears that balance is returning, so that locals and visitors can co-exist. The community is working together on creating noise ordinances and parking rules, and there is a new focus on reinvestment in dilapidated properties and creating family-friendly rentals, a trend most locals appreciate. Interior design icon Vicente Wolf, who purchased his home in 1984, states: “Montauk was a place where people went to escape. It is not like the rest of the Hamptons where people

Montauk is accessible by car, bus, train, or helicopter from New York City. The Hampton Jitney operates year-round and departs from locations all over New York City. Take the LIRR from Penn Station to Montauk. The fastest train (only on Fridays), will get you there in two hours and 42 minutes. Trade dollars for time and book a helicopter ride through BLADE.
THINGS TO DO
Montauk is full of laidback, familyfriendly activities such as shopping and casual outdoor dining in Gosman’s Dock or on the town’s main street. Take in the view from the top of the Montauk Point Lighthouse, explore the coastline on horseback at Deep Hollow Ranch, or enjoy a sail on the Mon Tiki. For the more adventurous: Book a deep sea fishing excursion; Surf on Ditch Plains beach; Hike through Camp Hero State Park or Montauk Point State Park which offers spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean where it meets Block Island Sound; Hike or bike through Hither Hills State Park; Enjoy saltwater fishing or hiking through Shadmoor State Park; Take an adult-only sunset cruise; Watch the sun set from a myriad of locations including Navy Beach, Duryea’s, The Montauket, Gurney’s, or The Surf Lodge’s outdoor deck.
WHERE TO EAT
John’s Pancake House, Duryea’s, The Dock, and Gosman’s are local favorites. The Crow’s Nest is utterly delicious with everything from local fluke crudo to Spring Spaghettini on the menu. Marc Rowan opened Arbor, a new restaurant in the former Ciao space, offering a Mediterranean-style menu and a fun casual atmosphere. Ruschmeyer’s straightfrom-the-dock and farm-to-table fare is a big draw.

"I WAS ALWAYS enamored by the movie Howards End, so I was thinking that I should have a 1920s cottage with a rambling garden,” says Jack Pearson, a former fashion industry exec who found a second career in real estate when he moved to Long Island’s East End. When Pearson acquired the property the rooms were small and the gardens were overrun. But over time he
transformed the landscape into an exquisite English garden, added several outbuildings, and expanded the tiny kitchen into the original attached garage. His plan was to create an antique-looking two-car garage with real carriage doors, “but at the same time I didn’t really need a garage,” he says, “so I thought I would make it a living CONTINUED space as well.”

Pearson recruited Southampton-based architect James M. McChesney and friend/interior designer John Bjørnen to build a new garage/indoor-outdoor entertaining space. Bluestone flooring with radiant heat makes the carriage house usable year round. Furniture in Pearson’s favorite shades of navy and gray give the room sophistication, but whimsical artwork and punches of red add levity.

IT TAKES SOME people years—and several residences—to understand what makes a home truly their own. The septuagenarian owner of this 3,580-square-foot East Side apartment, explains designer Ernest de la Torre, “had made lots of money, but he never spent it on his homes.” The client’s son persuaded his father to take the leap, offering to manage the project himself. Novice that he was, the client’s only initial input was that he loved the East River views outside his windows and the color blue. So de la Torre, who describes his client as “powerful and intimidating,” proceeded cautiously, creating a fairly safe plan. “He looked at me,” recalls de la Torre, “and said, ‘Do you really think I’m that boring?’ He wanted something fun and vibrant.” He and architect Edward Siegel of Cooper Robertson began by reformatting the layout, collapsing four bedrooms into three and correcting the apartment’s eccentricities. “The dining CONTINUED

De la Torre decided to “bring the river in,” adopting the client’s beloved blues in the loftlike main space, the master bedroom and elsewhere. A Lucite waterfall coffee table conceptually enhanced the liquid impression, as did abalone mosaic veneers on the dining chair backs. De la Torre also introduced undulating shapes and patterns to suggest waves and ripples—a guest room’s drapes and bedcovers, a shagreen chest in the master bedroom with a voluptuously double-bowed front, and a scallopfaced dining room sideboard.

Other spaces are more grounded, such as the elevator hallway. De la Torre commissioned a mural of flowering branches from artist Richard Woods that completely changed its tunnel-like character. One night over wine, the client told the men, “I’ve lived a long life, but never this well. You two have changed my life.” He has a new understanding of how a well-designed home is a reflection of personal expression. The design team, in fact, is currently reimagining several of the family’s other residences. SEE RESOURCES N E W YO R K S PAC E S . CO M

GUILLAUME GENTET IS not a typical interior designer: he is a builder and entrepreneur as well. The French-born designer created a 4,000-square-foot house in Watermill, in partnership with a contractor and developer who hope to turn the concept into a group of homes that they will build in the community and elsewhere on Long Island. The house sits on a pristine piece of property that faces a swath of acreage held in trust by the Nature Preserve. When they saw it they knew it would be perfect. The back of the house looks out over this protected woodland, with unobstructed views and the assurance that there will never be anything to mar the landscape. CONTINUED

OPPOSITE, CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: The kitchen cabinetry is by Effeti with white Caesarstone countertops, tiles on the back wall were designed by Gentet for Imagine Tile; Gentet and his husband, architect David Carpenter; The shower in the pool bathroom is lined with ceramic and glass tiles. The vanity from Restoration Hardware, Gentet says, reminds him of a dental cabinet.
Gentet’s inspiration for the design came from an old Victorian manse that sat at the end of the street. “I love gingerbread houses,” he says. “I want to bring the style back to the Hamptons but with modern amenities and whimsy.” He conceived the four-bedroom, sixbathroom house with summer house users in mind. The bathrooms are all en suite to ensure privacy. The den can be turned into an extra bedroom; handy, he says, when unexpected guests descend for the weekend. “When you have a house in the Hamptons you find that you have friends that you never knew about,” he jokes. The kitchen has two of everything from dishwashers to ovens to sinks. “It’s perfect for buyers who are kosher,” says Gentet, adding that it is also a plus for people who like to entertain. One of the most striking features of the design is the color palette. “I love pastels,” he says, and he uses them artfully both indoors and out. Far from a typical developer’s construction, the walls are covered in three layers of materials: the plywood base has been covered with sheetrock, which was then clad with extensive molding. The wide plank white oak floors, which provide a unifying element throughout the house, are finished with oldfashioned beeswax. The house will be sold unfurnished, but buyers will have the option to purchase the furnishings as well. Gentet’s future plans include a shop in Palm Beach next year, where he will carry the items that aren’t sold with the home. SEE RESOURCES

PURPLE RAIN The designers wanted the media room to have the dark luxury of a movie theater. The walls are papered in La Nuit Du Guépard, from the Precious Walls collection by Élitis, and the custom sofa and pillows are covered in Sahco fabric, through Donghia. The Baker Fonthill ceiling light from the Bill Sofield collection illuminates a painting by Pieter Schoolwerth, Portrait of the Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine (after Lotto).

DESIGN TEAM Matthew White and Frank Webb are opposites: Webb is a modernist and White has a passion for the classics. This convergence of styles has become their signature, and is one reason a fashion-savvy New Jersey couple reached out to the design team. “[The wife] saw our bedroom suite in the 2008 Kips Bay Decorator Show House and remembered it when they were ready to hire a designer for their new apartment,” says White. The designers felt that the couple appreciated their combination of wit and sophistication, as well as their blend of modern and traditional elements. The clients, who both work in the fashion industry, are very knowledgeable about design. CONTINUED

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is such a pleasure to work with clients who do research and are engaged in the process,â&#x20AC;? says White. The apartment they chose was new, however it was designed to look like a prewar building. The structural changes were minimal: the designers closed off one of the bedrooms to create a media room. The entry is via a long gallery that opens into the living room facing elegant curved windows. A custom sofa is flanked by pair

of graceful Marco Zanuso Senior chairs, covered in green wool velvet from Pierre Frey, and a classic Vladimir Kagan Shorty sofa. The windows are bracketed by massive panels created by artist Clare Graham for the space, and are composed of tin can lids, attached with tiny brass nails. The effect, says Webb, is evocative of the 18thcentury pier mirror, designed to reflect light from the windows into the space. The natural color CONTINUED

SILVERADO In the living room, the designers commissioned two panels to ďŹ&#x201A;ank the large windows. The luminous works, by artist Clare Graham, are evocative of 18th Century-style pier mirrors, and are made with the tops of tin cans. The custom sofa, designed by White Webb, is covered in Arango, by Zinc Textile. A leggy Swedish side chair, a sensuous Vladimir Kagan sofa, and Marco Zanuso chairs echo the curved architecture of the room.

variation in the different tins adds to the effect. Says Webb, “they are beautiful during the day, but at night they shimmer and the effect is glamorous.” To the left of the living room, the dining room is done in shades of watery blue, and on the right, the media room is rich purple with pops of cinnabar in the pillows and the striped rug. In the bedrooms,
the designers used a range of pale colors in the lilac family. The effect is soothing and soft, and not overly feminine. “Although the colors [throughout the apartment] are deeply saturated, they all work together,” says Webb. “But,” adds White, “we also wanted the rooms to have the feeling of distinct environments.” SEE RESOURCES

A neutral palette is soothing to the eye while a jolt of warm persimmon on the midcentury chairs and a sculpture from R.E. Steele in East Hampton provide focal points.

WHEN A COUPLE WITH YOUNG CHILDREN decided to purchase their first Manhattan apartment, they called in designer Christopher Maya to create something livable and contemporary. “We didn’t want to obstruct any views of the river so we were very conscious of that in the design.” says Maya. The designer chose a neutral palette, with pops of strong color throughout. “I felt it was important, especially in the children’s rooms, to have a very cheerful outlook." The south- and east-facing apartment gets copious amounts of light, and the open plan living and dining rooms are elegantly appointed, with furniture that is contemporary, but with a nod to traditional shapes. While most of the custom upholstery is white, two midcentury chairs in persimmon velvet mohair form an intimate seating area facing a modernized version of a tête-àtête, designed by Maya, with a contrasting blue cushion. In the living area, the upholstered furniture is covered in crisp linen for a CONTINUED modern profile. Maya says, “Some shapes never

go out of style because they are so versatile.” Looking through the living area into the kitchen, the eye is drawn to sunny yellow walls, and upwards to the Serena & Lily Lemons wallpaper on the ceiling. In the media room, which also functions as an extra bedroom, the designer created an island-style escape from the New York winter, with Farrow & Ball Arsenic 214. Says Maya, “It’s a bright color, yet the room feels very soothing and peaceful, like an escape should be.” The children’s rooms are done in traditional pink and blue, but they also feel very modern. Upholstered headboards in both rooms are covered in fabric created by Maya for his new collection with Holland & Sherry. In the boy’s room, lacquered red frames add a jolt of color. In the girl’s room, a desk and chair from Chelsea Editions adds a bit of country charm. The master bedroom is sophisticated with accents of chocolate brown on the bed and windows, and the elegant texture of seagrass wall coverings. Although Maya went with a neutral palette overall, he says, “We didn’t want the space to feel amorphous. Carefully placed sculpture and artwork, along with splashes of vibrant color, provide focus and a cheerful quality to the overall aesthetic.” SEE RESOURCES

WHEN LONGTIME CLIENTS called Anishka Clarke and Niya Bascom of Ishka Designs to design their newly purchased East Hampton home, the duo dove into the fray at the perfect time. The approximately 5,700-square-foot, five-bedroom, midcentury-inspired home was in the final stages of construction, giving Clarke & Bascom the perfect opportunity to input a few finish changes and set the tone. It also gave them

N E W YO R K S PAC E S . CO M
a chance to start sourcing heavy traffic-resistant furniture and accessories as the clients wanted the house ready within five months to catch the tail end of the Hamptons’ summer rental market. “We are very familiar with how they like to live,” says Clarke. “They are minimalists. And the design and construction called for modernity which they understood from the get-go." To start, Clarke CONTINUED
UNDERSTATED ELEGANCE The living room was designed to feel like an extension of the outdoors. A custom wood coffee table, a beautiful leather swivel chair, cowhide and linen pillows, and an abstract wooden wall sculpture commissioned from artist Christina Watka instill an organic, natural feel. "Everything celebrates the outdoors," says Clarke, "including the low-to-the ground furniture which doesn't interfere with sightlines." A chic but comfortable Design Within Reach sofa upholstered in a Maharam fabric that can stand up to wear and tear sits atop a vintage-inspired Flor rug that can be replaced, tile by tile—perfect for rental accidents. THIS PAGE: A BoConcept table is paired with comfortable yet sturdy Bacco chairs by Omar de Biaggio. The linear form of the Vibia chandelier keeps with the visual profile of the dining area while adding a "wow" moment. "It's a very thin fixture," says Bascom, "but it has this great presence from any angle." OPPOSITE:

STYLISH GETAWAY The limited-edition artworks by Japanese artist Ritsuko Takeda informed the color palette of the family room. A rug from Flor, chosen for its durability and interchangeable tiles, pairs nicely with the Poliform sofa. A vintage clay pot and a Moroccan-like saddle bag draped over the Oggetti Lola lounge chairs add an organic element that softens up the space. The family room leads out onto the dining area deck and pool. OPPOSITE, TOP LEFT: The streamlined kitchen features modern subway tiles, Aiko pendants, and Nerd counter stools that add the perfect punch of color.
and Bascom implemented a neutral palette throughout to avoid interfering with the varying colors of the seasons— floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors line the public spaces in the back of the house and offer views of the outdoors. In the formal living room, which sits in the center of the home facing the back yard, casually elegant sofas from Design Within Reach set the mood. An Ishka Designs custom coffee table built by 33 Woodwork, durable vintage wire ottomans, and a modular rug from Flor complete the tailored look. To the left, a modern kitchen with linear subway tiles and Aiko pendants flows into the dining area with a soft palette of woods and an underlying rhythm of black woven through. A dining table from BoConcept appears to morph out of the floor providing a thin visual profile while also forming the base to the chandelier’s “wow factor.”

The family room has a more laid-back vibe with a comfortable sofa from Poliform, African stools, and metal-and-leather lounge chairs that don't obstruct the views. In the master bedroom, a wing bed lends an elevated elegance to a large-scale room kept in proportion by tall lamps and an oversized, vintage gold-leaf mirror. A cozy intimacy pervades one of the guest bedrooms, where the grain of the wood, a pop of red, and a warm rug steal the show. While the designers instituted practical designs and fabrics that are easy to maintain, an effortless elegance pervades the space. "We always design with the idea of longevity in mind," says Bascom. And in a true feat of ingenuity and dedication, Clarke notes: "We had it occupiable within three months." SEE RESOURCES

you hear the happy sound of a carousel,” sang the Drifters in their 1964 hit, Under the Boardwalk. It remains one of the most evocative songs about urban summer ever written. Anyone who grew up in New York City can recall the sights, sounds, and smells of Coney Island. The hot dogs! The shimmy and shake of the Cyclone! The waves, the gulls, the samba music on the boardwalk as the sun went down, and over it all the screams of delighted children and adults. From the excitement of the nation’s largest amusement park in the early 1900s to the poverty and decay of the 60s and 70s; From environmental disasters to battles over valuable real estate and quality of life, the little spit of beachfront property at the end of the D line has always drawn a crowd. Today, there is a new effort to try to merge the old, the very old, and the brand new into some kind of urban utopia. Will it work this time? Thor Equities founder and CEO Joseph Sitt, who grew up in Brooklyn, is counting on it. The company owns much of the property along the beach and has plans for a spectacular resort community. In the meantime, Sitt, along with art advisor and former director of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles, Jeffrey Deitch, created Coney Art Walls, now in its second season. “There are 21 new murals this year, including several prominent New York painters and sculptors, in addition to leading street artists. Coney Art Walls will be one of the best places in New York to see ambitious new paintings,” said Deitch. Down by the sea, everybody’s feeling a little Coney Island high. coneyartwalls.com
