California Rising We live on coasts and forests, deserts and mountains. In cities and suburbs. We are farmers and teachers. Scientists and schoolkids. We come from Germany, Mexico, Vietnam, Kenya and beyond. We are Californians. We believe in the potential of every child in our state. Every single one. We know that immigrants make us stronger, not weaker. We believe in the power of art to inspire. And the power of nature to awe. We believe free speech connects us, not divides us. We have become what we are by welcoming new people and new ideas.

This will never change. Marin Community Foundation / open We are Californians. Wir sind Kalifornier. Somos Californianos. Chúng tôi là cư dân California. Sisi ni Californians. And never prouder to say so.

FOUNDER’S LETTER

In California, it isn’t unusual to walk down the street and encounter a Tudor-style manse neighboring a concrete industrial behemoth. Here, when it comes to design—and pretty much everything else—we like to follow the beat of our own drum. More often than not, though, I find the best design is that which is attuned to its surroundings—after all, in the Golden State, the surroundings are especially worthy of attention. This is very much the case at One Gun Ranch, a bucolic idyll set high above Malibu, where partners Alice Bamford and Ann Eysenring live and run a biodynamic farm paradise. Their house, set in the midst of this labor of love, is a modern barn composed of reclaimed wood (a collaboration with architect Michael Kovac) whose interior features perennially open metal and glass doors that offer a generous panorama of the Pacific. Of course, design here is more than a frame for the views; it’s also a mirror on the cultures that commingle on our coast, and the deep heritage that informs our modern aesthetic. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the work of Pamela and Ramin Shamshiri, who as founding partners of the design firm Commune, helped to push California design to the forefront of the industry’s consciousness. Now, in their new venture, Studio Shamshiri, the siblings seek to change the game again, while harking back to their family roots, which spread from L.A. to Tehran to Rome. In this issue we also take in the view of myriad talents across the state—from the illustrious portfolio of influential San Francisco design firm BAMO on the occasion of its silver anniversary to the organic Hancock Park abode of Exquisite Surfaces cofounder Franck Nataf, to Hacienda, a new tasting room at Sonoma’s Scribe Winery, set in an 1850s homestead fitted with eclectic, century-spanning touches that nod to the property’s rich history. Legacy is something our cover girl Zoey Deutch knows about, being the daughter of actor Lea Thompson and director Howard Deutch. Christine Lennon’s profile of the hotly tipped starlet reveals her to be someone with thoughtful reverence for both the business and her parents’ contributions, yes, but also a desire to carve her own path. Because in the end, isn’t that what any innovative endeavor—be it a film, an exquisite interior or a painstakingly tended plot of land—is really about? In a state that breeds creativity, the most lasting impressions come from building on the greatness that came before, and making it your own.

Pamela Shamshiri “We are conscious about what we put out in the world,” says Pamela Shamshiri of Studio Shamshiri, the new design firm she founded with her brother, Ramin, last year (“Kindred Spirit,” p.106). As design principal, she is currently working on private residences in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco as well as hotel concepts in New Orleans and Puerto Rico. C SPOTS • Mameg’s to look at art, buy amazing clothes, have tea and make friends • The Tropics Inc. nursery is a Garden of Eden in the middle of Los Angeles • Hollywood’s MiniBar is the best place to grab a drink

“I custom-blended a reddish gold chrome and metallized her nails to make them as special as the rest of her style,” says celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik of the nail color he created for Zoey Deutch. The first manicurist to have a contract with Chanel, Bachik was also the first to be named global nail designer for L’Oréal Paris. He has worked on cover shoots for Vogue and W and his clients include Jennifer Lopez and Scarlett Johansson. C SPOTS • South Coast Winery: I don’t drink, but it’s a lovely, serene way to spend the weekend • Moonlight Beach in Encinitas is a great non-overcrowded beach • The 74 Ortega Highway is a two-lane canyon drive. With the windows down and the wind blowing fresh air, it brings me peace

C People

The founders of Sonoma’s Scribe Winery, brothers Andrew and Adam Mariani recently debuted their new tasting house, Hacienda (“Land of Plenty,” p.43), in an 1850s homestead on the property. “It was like a lost western treasure—we were just happy to breathe some new life into it,” says Andrew. C SPOTS • The Riddler for Champagne and popcorn in the heart of Hayes Valley • The Berryessa Brewery Co. taproom in Winters, Calif. • Swiss Lakewood is a true classic on Lake Tahoe—and Al Pacino’s regular spot while filming The Godfather Part II

Joey Battaglia “When rain comes to L.A., it brings a different energy,” says Rosco Production’s producer Joey Battaglia of C’s decidedly wet Zoey Deutch cover shoot. “It encouraged a creative spirit and dynamic vibes, which you can clearly see.” Born and raised in Chicago, Battaglia counts publications including Vogue and T: The New York Times Style Magazine among his clients. C SPOTS • Osteria La Buca on Melrose: The cacio e pepe and short rib ravioli remind me of the flavors from my dad’s Italian grocery and my ma’s kitchen • The “Unauthorized Musical Parody” series at Rockwell Table & Stage • Lamill Coffee is my go-to on the East Side

Franck Nataf “It had to be an inviting family home with plenty of space for lounging,” says Exquisite Surfaces co-founder Franck Nataf of his Hancock Park house, featured in “Beneath the Surface,” p.98. This year, Nataf’s trend-incubating brand marks its 20th anniversary with a new sustainable design advocacy program, Choose to Reuse. C SPOTS • Son of a Gun has the best seafood in L.A. • OK and Garde for homewares and coffee table books • L.A.’s Wishing Tree hike for insane views

When sibling vintners Andrew and Adam Mariani established Scribe Winery in 2007, they wanted to make minimal-intervention wines that told the story of Sonoma’s unique terroir. Marking the brand’s 10-year anniversary, the opening of Scribe’s new tasting house, Hacienda—set within an 1850s homestead at the end of a mile-long, palm-lined driveway—goes one further, immersing visitors in 150 years of California wine country life.

For the Mariani brothers, each event— such as the release dinners for Scribe’s new sparkling Chardonnay, with dishes prepared by State Bird Provisions’ Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski—is part of Sonoma’s ongoing narrative. “The philosophy that these homes and architecture and buildings tell the story of the land goes along with how we think about wine making,” explains Andrew. “We’re telling the story of a place during a vintage…It’s about capturing this moment in time.” 2100 Denmark St., Sonoma, 707-939-1858; scribewinery.com. • GEMMA PRICE

COLLECTIVE SPIRIT “I grew up surrounded by art, and I see design as an extension of that world,” says London transplant Paul Davidge. For his new L.A. shop, Not So General, Davidge is showing vintage pieces and works from local designers alongside items by international figures like Milanese furniture studio Edizione Limitata Factory and Amsterdam-based glass artist Germans Ermics, which are new to the city. “They were all waiting for the right space to properly showcase their collections,” notes Davidge. “You won’t be able to see them anywhere else.” 7209 Santa Monica Blvd., W.H., 323-851-2200; notsogeneral.la.

The Marianis, who are fourth-generation California farmers, have lived on the property since they acquired it, and snagging a reservation-only tasting feels like being welcomed to an intimate family party; snacks are prepared by their sister and Chez Panisse alum Kelly Mariani and longtime Scribe chef Emma Lipp. Each room is a palimpsest of wabi sabi renovations that speak to the structure’s past occupants. In one, melted varnish from a fire sometime after the house’s post1906-earthquake Mission Revival revamp has been left as-is. Elsewhere, 1951 newspaper used as wall coverings—revealed when the Marianis removed fitted wooden cupboards too far gone to be saved—have been preserved with a slick of clear gloss. New features—Dave Darling’s giant metal-frame kitchen doors, Adam Silverman’s ceramic lights, courtyard tables crafted from a redwood that fell on the property in 2008—also tie in to the Sonoma story through the brothers’ relationships with local artists. Three bedrooms upstairs are earmarked for chefs, writers and artists in residency programs, as well as members of their wine club.

KARINA Longworth

Driven by her admiration and curiosity for her native Los Angeles, film historian and podcaster Karina Longworth spends her days obsessing over Old Hollywood and chronicling her discoveries on her podcast, You Must Remember This. But that does not mean her fascination with the city is satiated. “I could live here for the rest of my life and never manage to fully know L.A.,” she admits. The Los Feliz-based cineaste—who describes her style as “body-con ’50s meets early ’90s”—explores the eerie equilibrium between the bizarre and the beautiful in her podcast’s latest season, “Dead Blondes,” which delves into the premature or peculiar demises of flaxen-haired film actresses of the 20th century, from Jean Harlow to Grace Kelly. Next up on her agenda: a book about the various women with whom Howard Hughes crossed paths in Tinseltown. Here, Longworth reels off her favorite things for spring. youmustrememberthispodcast.com.

“I’m not saying that my work is divine,” says Kelly Lamb, sipping coffee from a geodesic ceramic teacup of her own design in her East Los Angeles studio. “But it is about touching the divine.” Known first for her range of architectural objects, birdhouses and terrariums anchored in Buckminster Fuller’s brand of sacred geometry, the designer and artist has always had an affinity for the tactile. But these days it comes paired with a renewed emphasis on the visceral: “I like my work to be interactive; I want people to feel it,” she says.

Up front: A fountain that is the basis for a commission for The Contemporary Austin’s sculpture park, Laguna Gloria, comprising a pillar of Edenic lemons balanced on a female hand. Like most artists, Lamb prefers to keep the meaning of a piece open-ended, but will concede certain themes: “the interaction between humans and nature; the way we manipulate nature; and the infinite flow of the two of them,” she offers. She got her start opening a gallery in New York after graduating from Vermont liberal arts school Bennington College, then moved to Los Angeles in 2007 to grow her own art practice. “I was able to take advantage of the space here and really dive in,” she says.

she resided on the historic Paramour Estate at the invitation of her friend and mentor, Dana Hollister, before buying a house in Los Feliz and setting up shop in her own space a year and a half ago. Lamb’s most recent prototype, a supersized cutout of her pointer and middle fingers, positioned in a “V for victory” and intended to provocatively reference other female body parts, leans against the back wall. It’s still early in the creative process, but she hopes to reproduce it in three-dimensional bronze as part of an outdoor public art project, and is working on getting funding. “It’s a female hand taking action,” she says. “[The viewer is] being confronted with flesh and bone—and claws. It’s from the heart.” (She’s also working on a collaboration with renowned stained glass masters Judson Studios.) Out back hums a world of behindthe-scenes production: from the raku kilns where Lamb fired the crystal- and gem-shaped pieces that comprise Semi Precious (a “performative” piece whose genesis entailed burning items like love letters and hair with glazed clay), to the tools used to weld her “Clusterfuck” series, suspended spinning jumbles of mirrored stainless steel that evoke a state of stuckness—be it on a macropolitical level or a micropersonal one. “I’m just trying to make sense of things, and to make a difference,” she says. “In high school I was that girl who hung out in the art room—it’s in my DNA to explore.” kellylamb.net. • MELISSA GOLDSTEIN

Honest Truth “In each of those stories, I placed myself as the heroine,” says author, social-media powerhouse and screenwriter Kelly Oxford of the tales that comprise her first best-selling essay collection, Everything Is Perfect When You’re a Liar (It Books). Her follow-up, When You Find Out the World Is Against You: And Other Funny Memories About Awful Moments (Dey Street Books, $27), examines “the other side, which is when you come to terms with your anxiety and those moments when you find out, ‘Oh shit, right,’” she says. “It’s the same kinds of stories but from a different point of view.” In her latest, the L.A.-based Canadian plumbs some of her life’s defining experiences, including her first earthquake. “Writing is so cathartic,” says the mother of three, who penned part of the book during stays at L.A.’s Hotel Covell and Beverly Wilshire. “I just think about my audience. The more honest I am, the better it is.” @kellyoxford.

Model and jewelry designer Magdalena Frackowiak takes center stage wearing structured, offthe-shoulder ruffles in elegant destination dresses and runway-ready bandeaus. “The decision to shoot in Topanga was completely organic,” says Fernandez. “It is the one place in L.A. that feels quite exotic to me.” Upping the fashion ante in eyelet, sheer cotton and crepe, Fernandez’s newest collection reimagines her signature frills in pieces designed to make a splash on the beach and off.

Contrast High San Francisco interior designer NICOLE HOLLIS debuts a striking STUDIO that exudes MODERN minimalism APRIL 2017 C 65

DESIGN It isn’t surprising that an interior designer as adroit as Nicole Hollis could see past dirty carpeting, dropped acoustic ceilings and fluorescent lighting. In February, after a six-month effort that included exposing concrete ceilings and pouring epoxy floors, Hollis transformed the drab former headquarters of a tech startup into a moody and refined studio. The composition “immediately sets a very seductive residential tone as your first impression,” says Hollis. “I had a vision of moving through the darkness into the light.” Hence, the space opens up to a work zone appointed with linear white desks and oversized white dome pendant lamps. Amid the pale walls and expanses of windows, “a black cube,” as Hollis puts it, stands in contrast; lined in charred wood—an example of the Japanese technique shou sugi ban—the

dark environs house the firm’s materials library and printer room. In addition to inaugurating her 5,000-square-foot namesake studio, Hollis has been busy with myriad projects. Among them: homes in the Bay Area and L.A.; the renovation of the Grant Building on Market Street, which will become a Yotel property; and a collaboration with vintner Jean-Charles Boisset in Yountville. “I don’t think our studio reflects our work as much as it represents our process,” says Hollis. “We approach every project with a clean slate and prefer not to repeat ourselves.” 1000 Brannan St., Ste. 503, S.F., 415-278-9457; nicolehollis.com. • ANH-MINH LE

Those with design commitment issues will welcome the new line by Wallshoppe. Printed in L.A., the vibrant eco-friendly wallpapers can be ordered in traditional or removable versions. To launch, the company called upon designer Nathan Turner to create a mini collection imbued with his West Coast preppy vibe. “The styles embody California spirit… bright, cheerful, fun with lots of color,” says Turner. “And we kept the palette consistent so you can mix and match a floral with a bold stripe.” Enliven an entry or breakfast nook with the Pacifico Palm—a twist on the classic botanical motif, offered in six hues. “I love a tropical print,” he admits. “This one’s a classic—and so L.A.—but the background colors make it feel fresh.” $96/roll, $58/removable panel; wallshoppe.com.

From left: A wall’s blue agate finish by CAROLINE LIZARRAGA with a Kelly Wearstler sconce. Lizarraga’s sixcolor motif with metallic highlights for a residential interior by Drew McGukin.

Caroline Lizarraga is the architect of her own decorative art renaissance. From the constellation-emblazoned windows at Kim Alter’s Hayes Valley restaurant Nightbird to the agate-inspired painted concrete floors at Sacramento Street boutique Betty Lin, Lizarraga’s old-world-made-modern masterpieces are on display all over town—most recently at The Riddler, a new Champagne bar whose ceilings she gold-leafed. A self-professed Italophile (“My boyfriend is Italian, my dog is Italian…,” she confesses), Lizarraga studied in Florence at age 20 before returning to her native San Francisco and finding a mentor in Gail Lawrence, an expert in high-end finishes. Almost two decades on, the designer is tweaking the scale and expected color spectrum of traditional techniques such as chinoiserie and marbling for decidedly fresh results. “You have to break the rules, while keeping some of the old ones too,” she says. carolinelizarraga.com.

What’s old is new again for floors. Southern California homes are warming to time-honored European plaster surfaces. And Domingue Architectural Finishes—a dedicated sub-brand of the Houstonbased antiques importer Chateau Domingue—is fueling the trend. The appeal is in the versatility. “The finishes are timeless and lend themselves to a variety of architectural styles, from modern to classic,” says Ruth Gay, Domingue’s founder. The warm, neutral topcoats blend lime, marble dust and natural pigments; are eco-friendly; and are durable enough to go the distance—as any 18th-century palazzo can attest. 713-961-5270; dominguefinishes.com.

MENU “The uncomplicated nature of the lot of the dishes and the presentation is representative of how I had to learn to balance things,” Jeremy Fox says about the symbiotic relationship between his cooking and his personal journey. The chef’s new cookbook, On Vegetables: Modern Recipes for the Home Kitchen (Phaidon, $50), chronicles a unique evolution, including Fox’s time helming Napa’s heralded vegetarian Ubuntu restaurant and his struggle with anxiety and depression. Among the 160 recipes are those that are rooted in the soul-stirring food he’s been cooking since February 2013 at Santa Monica’s beloved neighborhood gem, Rustic Canyon, where he has also found broader equilibrium. Fox aims to inspire and reassure home cooks, and keep things down to earth. “I want my book to not just be looked at,” he says. “I want it to be torn and covered in food splatters.” • JESSICA RITZ

Within the sherbet-orangecolored facade of the new Coletta Gelato scoop shop, founders Antonio Massimini and Henri Waltenspühl—both graduates of Bologna’s Carpigiani Gelato University—serve house-made Italian-style gelato crafted in keeping with the Bay Area’s passion for everything artisanal and gourmet. They make and pasteurize their own gelato base, crafting flavors like Almost Chai, Irish Coffee, Mango and childhood favorite Mint Chocolate Chip Stracciatella using locally sourced ingredients and secret spice-and-herb infusions. These toothsome treats are a sundrenched vacay in every cup. 685 Harrison St., S.F., 415-795-3170; colettagelato.com.

“I wanted to serve the neighborhood and the city in the same way Pizza Buona might have served it in its heyday,” chef Zach Pollack says about Cosa Buona, his new casual restaurant in Echo Park. Having already successfully adapted Italian cuisine to two distinct neighborhoods, the L.A. native focuses here on pizza, “Italian-American stalwarts and a couple of fun forays” in the space that for almost 60 years housed an old-school pizza joint at the corner of Sunset and Alvarado. Architect Ana Henton’s interior design details include custom-made tile work by ceramist Mel Keedle and vintage James Mont chairs. While Pollack takes some artistic license with Italian cooking, as he does at West L.A.’s Sotto and Silver Lake’s Alimento, Cosa Buona isn’t about making “a deconstructed mozzarella stick, but a really great mozzarella stick,” he explains. Expect refined dishes like braised baby octopus alongside the old school perfectly delicious chicken parm sandwich. 2100 W. Sunset Blvd., Echo Park; cosabuona.com.

When Bjarnason delivered, the powers that be were stunned. “It was so malle able and unique,” marvels Chad Smith, COO of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association. The two got to talking and soon Bjarnason introduced Smith to other members of his interconnected, highly collaborative musical world in Reykjavík—where people were crafting works that defy categorization, blending pop, electronic, world, symphonic, classical and choral elements.

FRESH MOVES Dance Camera West’s Dance Media Film Festival enters its 16th season screening cinema that pushes the boundaries of dance film. Well-known names from the commercial world such as Wade Robson and Tyce Diorio present shorts, while documentaries of major players such as artistic director, choreographer and dancer Bill T. Jones and Storyboard P, a Brooklyn street dancer whose liquid moves border on the poetic, make for edge-of-your-seat viewing.

In Startup: A Novel (Little, Brown and Company, $26), due out April 25, the characters search for love set among the Tweets, Snaps, Instastories and nail-biting fundraising rounds of NYC. Along the way they navigate problems particular to the modern moment, such as unwanted sexts, fake Twitter accounts and peculiar Craigslist side jobs. But Shafrir’s motifs are timeless. She deftly illustrates the tension between generations—ambitious millennials think everyone over 30 is “old,” and young moms sedate their children with iPads and struggle with the concept that they have to be a part of pole-dancing extracurricular work activities. Funny and wise, Shafrir’s satirical novel takes a surprising feminist turn, illuminating the universal challenges of being a woman living in our tech-mad world.

Deutch says she inherited from her father the distinctly Jewish perspective of finding the humor in all situations. “He taught me not to take things too seriously—that I could always find something funny.” “From my mother I inherited my work ethic and the desire to live a purposive life,” says Deutch, whose mother’s genes are also apparent in her slight 5’4” build, auburn hair, expressive face and high-pitched voice. “She works harder than anyone I know. I remember when I was a kid, she never said, ‘I’m so sorry I have to go to work.’ She would just say, ‘I love you, and I’m going to work.’ We knew that she was proud of it, and she was also an excellent mother. There were no apologies necessary.” Inherited or not, the combination of traits Deutch possesses has caught the attention of Hollywood. She has a handful of movies expected to be released this year, but insists the seven-year road she traveled to get here had its share of obstacles. While she was a student at LACHSA, Deutch landed a recurring role on a Disney Channel show, The Suite Life on Deck. “But the next hundred auditions didn’t go so well,” Deutch laughs. “It was a very rude awakening.” She made a series of film adaptations of popular novels, like Beautiful Creatures (2013) and Vampire Academy (2014). Then Richard Linklater came calling. Spending time in Texas with the largely male cast for Linklater’s semiautobiographical college story Everybody Wants Some!! (2016) was an experience that she clearly valued. Linklater gave her plenty of creative freedom on set, even drawing from Deutch’s own words to form her character Beverly’s monologue professing her love for theater. “I love what I do. I really do,” says Deutch. She adds, “And I’m really ambitious. But ambition is a dirty word to some people. All it means is that you’re willing to work hard to do what you love.” Despite her delicate appearance, it’s true that she projects a tomboyish charm. Even the actors she’s most inspired by, like Michael Shannon and Bryan Cranston, are male. In last year’s Why Him? she

played opposite James Franco as Cranston’s daughter. “Anyone who says don’t meet your idols hasn’t met Bryan Cranston,” she says. “Because he is the absolute best.” Her most recent film, Before I Fall, directed by Ry Russo-Young, hit theaters in March and screened at the Sundance Film Festival. It’s a teen movie based on a YA novel by Lauren Oliver, and it has all of the existential angst that Hughes made popular in her parents’ era, but with a darker edge. Deutch’s character, Sam, is the victim of a car accident and is forced into a strange purgatory, reliving her last day as she untangles the mystery surrounding her death and discovers the value of everything she is in danger of losing. An of-the-moment soundtrack featuring artists like Grimes reaches out to an audience much broader than its intended tween target demographic. “I play a bully who ends up getting bullied, but in a really different way,” Deutch says. Also on the docket is Rebel in the Rye, in which Deutch plays Oona O’Neill, daughter of playwright Eugene O’Neill, in Danny Strong’s movie about the life of reclusive author J.D. Salinger. It’s just the latest in a string of roles that showcase Deutch’s versatility, with turns in everything from compelling indies to higher-profile comedies. She just wrapped filming the Max Winkler-directed coming-of-age drama Flower, with Kathryn Hahn and Adam Scott. It’s yet another instance of her character being pulled from the pages of a book, boding well for more time in this diner booth in the name of research. For Deutch, that studiousness seems to apply to the inner workings of the industry itself. One gets the sense that she has her eye on the long game: “At the Gotham Awards, Ethan Hawke gave this great speech; the gist was that he was it then he wasn’t it. He was hot and then not hot. And that it was good for him to experience that, and know that it won’t always be consistent,” she says thoughtfully. “It’s a job. You have to be OK with the ebbs and flows.” •

At a diner on Ventura Boulevard in the San Fernando Valley, the kind with vinyl banquettes and a case near the entrance stocked with slightly stale pastries and mayo-rich “salads,” actor Zoey Deutch is a regular. The recent star of Before I Fall— the indie screen adaptation of the dark young-adult novel of the same name— orders matzo ball soup and compliments our elderly waitress, with whom she is on a first-name basis, on the eccentric purple streaks in her close-cropped hair. Then the woman touches Deutch’s shoulder in a way that feels so friendly and familiar that you know, you just know, that the 22-year-old actress is the kind of person that you are going to like. “Everything in my life happens in this place,” says Deutch, using her hands when she speaks, almost leaping out of her seat with energy as she gestures around the room at the gray linoleum and bad lighting. “I’ve been coming since I was a little kid. I have all of my family dinners here. I bring first dates here! I sit here and read. I have all of my meetings here, if I can.” Next to her on the table is a bookmarked copy of Jonathan Livingston Seagull. The whole setup would make a great scene for a teen movie, if the writer wanted to introduce a sympathetic female lead who is grounded despite her obvious beauty, a small-but-spunky girl who doesn’t forget where she came from. Maybe it’s no coincidence then that teen movies are in Deutch’s DNA. Her parents, actor Lea Thompson and director Howard Deutch, met in 1987 on the set of Some Kind of Wonderful, one of two movies her father directed that was written by the late prolific ’80s screenwriter John Hughes (the first was Pretty in Pink). “It’s hard to grasp when someone says my parents touched them in some way—that their voices were in their heads,” she says. They married in 1989 and had two girls, Zoey and her older sister, Madelyn, also an actor, who were raised nearby and attended the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (LACHSA). From the sound of it, the youngest Deutch always had an outsized personality. “Oh my God, I had so many questions. Why? Why? Why? I talked all the time. People would say, ‘Lea, Howie, how do you do this?’” she laughs. “But they were just like, ‘This is how she is!’”

“I love what I do. I really do. And I’m really AMBITIOUS. But ambition is a dirty word to some people. All it means is that you’re willing to WORK HARD to do WHAT YOU LOVE.”

Master of materials FRANCK NATAF reimagines his CLASSIC Hancock Park home in exquisitely SOURCED DETAIL

Below: GLENN OF CALIFORNIA barstools pull up to the kitchen island; a vintage Double Posa Counterweight pendant lamp by FLORIAN SCHULZ hangs above.

Having already purchased, renovated and lived in three homes throughout Los Angeles, Franck Nataf “was very particular” as he set about searching for his next abode, which he would share with his 8-year-old twin daughters, Mia and Inez.

Feature (tbd) Two non-negotiables at the top of his list: It must be Spanish-style, and it must be in Hancock Park. “The house had perfect bones,” he says of the period revival-style structure he eventually settled on, which was built in 1925. Since buying the property in 2009, Nataf has reimagined the space to showcase materials from Exquisite Surfaces, the renowned company he runs with his brother, Alexis, which they founded with their mother, Paula. Collaborating with landscape designer Scott Shrader, and most recently David John Dick and Krista Schrock of DISC Interiors, the home has become the warm, elegant gathering place for family and friends Nataf always envisioned. First came the gut remodel, which Nataf designed and oversaw himself from start to finish, incorporating reclaimed roof tiles from Bordeaux, French terra cotta for the kitchen floor and Spanish marble installed in the entryway. “Those are very special,” Nataf

says, pointing to the antique French oak boards that comprise most of the flooring, laid in a herringbone pattern. To enhance the connection between the house and the pool, as well as to realize the 20,000-square-foot lot’s potential, Nataf brought Shrader on board. (Shrader’s lush, much-admired patio at West Hollywood’s Gracias Madre restaurant is an Instagram celebrity in its own right.) “It changed our life,” Nataf says emphatically of the end result. “He created a home outside,” with extraordinary elements such as a water feature anchored by a well that dates from the 19th century. “The floors were stunning, the yard was amazing, but something was missing,” Nataf recalls. The challenge was “how do you take something and make it better?” Understanding the limitations of his own not insignificant skill set, when it came time to upgrade the inside of the house he hired DISC Interiors last year, with whom all decisions “clicked fast,” Nataf says. “Our goal is to make spaces feel like they have always been there, and we wanted to match the quality of Franck’s finishes,” Dick says. Thanks to the high bar their client already had in place,

The media and family room features what DISC INTERIORS’ DAVID JOHN DICK describes as a “tone on tone, green on green” scheme.

Below: Landscape designer SCOTT SHRADER transformed the outdoor space, incorporating a covered outdoor dining area.

“We wanted it casual but very sophisticated and elevated,” Dick says of the living room.

they could “bring in eclectic pieces and have them blend in and not be showstoppers.” He and Schrock worked with Nataf to arrange his art collection—Vik Muniz’s Zebra, after George Stubbs (Pictures of Magazines 2) is a highlight—and sourced wide-ranging statements including a Brazilian Caviuna armchair by Sergio Rodrigues, a 1970s Italian stone coffee table with copper insert, a ceramic lamp by local artist Meredith Metcalf, and a vintage Spanish bench upholstered with Zak+Fox fabric, from such local resources as Lawson Fenning, Blackman Cruz, Noir and Lucca Antiques, coining a broad, Mediterranean-meets-local feel, and merging influences that are “Spanish, French, Italian and Californian,” Schrock explains. “The house is serious, but there are a lot of playful moments that feel slightly fantastical.” Nataf may have finally struck the perfect balance. •

But Ramin reluctantly backs up the claim, harking back to their college days, when he would visit her at Smith and entertain her friends late into the eve while she dozed upstairs. Now pillars of the international design community, the two have spent their whole lives balancing each other out, not only in their close-knit family life, but also in professional realms: first in their business, Sham Interior Design & Events, then as two of the four founders of the design firm Commune, and now with the opening of their latest joint venture, Studio Shamshiri, last year.

The reductive version of their dynamic is that Pamela is the creative one and Ramin handles the business. But, in fact, it’s more nuanced. “Ramin’s brain works both ways, and he has very strong opinions…which I love,” says Pamela. “We’ve learned to compromise.” Ramin adds, deadpan: “Yeah, now Pamela just gets what she wants.” When they came together with Steven Johanknecht and Roman Alonso to start Commune in 2004, they changed the game, bringing the worlds of interiors, graphic design and architecture together under one roof in Eamesian fashion. Commune authored a much-celebrated and subsequently imitated Californian aesthetic: a high-low take on late-20thcentury design prizing natural woods, handcrafted objects and textiles of exotic provenance. The style manifested in the Palm Springs Ace Hotel & Swim Club, the Heath Ceramics space in West Hollywood and myriad private residences. In 2014, Ramin left the group to pursue his own projects; a year later, Pamela followed, and Studio Shamshiri was born. “It’s definitely still multidisciplinary and narrative and experience-driven, but

Feature (tbd) our aesthetic will be slightly different, because the combination of the two of us will be slightly different from the combination of the four of us,” says Pamela.

house in their father’s six-story furniture store. “We would go there every day after school—one floor was all kitchens, one was dining rooms, one was living rooms, and there was a suspended staircase in the middle,” Pamela reminisces wistfully. “It was full of a lot of incredible imported Italian designers like [Achille] Castiglioni and [Gio] Ponti.

With a staff numbering 30, the studio currently operates out of an open-plan space in the West Hollywood private members’ workspace NeueHouse. Pamela and Ramin have eliminated the words “interior,” “graphic” and “architect” from all titles, opting instead to refer to everyone as designers. “There are people who that is tough for and people who love it,” Pamela concedes. “But I think we attract a lot of entrepreneurs and free spirits who think out of the box a bit, so for those people it works.” By the end of the year, Studio Shamshiri will move into its official office space, set in the landmark Hollywood building that used to house legendary watering hole and Morrissey hangout The Cat & Fiddle. “It feels like a residence when you walk in; there’s a fire-

While garages are a well-documented birthplace for some notable Northern California startups, for four friends and colleagues— Pamela Babey, Michael Booth, Gerry Jue and David Moulton—it all began in a kitchen. With two phone lines and two fax machines, the room in Babey’s home served as a temporary office for the group’s fledgling business. It was 1991, and the entrepreneurial spirit had taken hold after their previous employer, Pfister Partnership, shuttered. Flash-forward a little more than 25 years and BAMO, the San Francisco-based design practice established by the quartet, has notched more than 500 projects and grown to a staff of 40-plus. Moulton has since retired, and Steve Henry and Dorothy Greene have joined the remaining founders as principals. “We have this diverse portfolio,” says Babey, “but basically it’s fresh, it’s clean. It’s not dark, it’s not sinister. There are no stuffed animals. To me, it’s California; it’s airy.” According to Babey, working with the late legendary designer Charles Pfister “introduced us to one big idea: the idea of light,” she says. “California has incredible light, and it’s made every one of us totally sensitive to natural light and artificial light, and how you handle it. It’s one of the most important factors in an interior.” BAMO is primarily divided among residential and hotel works. Its first two clients were late philanthropist and olive oil mogul Nan McEvoy (her sprawling 550-acre ranch in West Marin) and hotelier Robert Burns (a luxury property that is now the Four Seasons Hotel Milano). In addition to having designed the Four Seasons in Bora Bora and Dubai, the firm is currently conceiving the company’s new hotels in Madrid and São Paulo and renovating its Chicago, Hualalai and Boston locations. In Menlo Park, BAMO conceived the Rosewood Sand Hill, which exudes casual elegance, channeling its lush landscape. (Case in point: the claro walnut wood slabs comprising a wall of the bar.) Not far from the Rosewood is BAMO’s most sustainable project: a Portola Valley residence dubbed Tah Mah Lah. “It was a major commitment on the client’s part to explore every last avenue of green technology and sustainability,” says Booth. The design of the 5,600-square-foot abode emphasizes its bucolic hillside setting. “You’re able to open up the entire house with the sliding window system,” he continues, “which instantly

makes the house an outdoor experience.” The indoor/outdoor connection often takes center stage in California—and that was certainly true for a modern dwelling on the 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links. “It’s pretty spectacular,” says Booth, calling attention to the home’s expanses of glass. “The idea was that it just looks like a big opening. The whole window frame is on the outside, so you can stand there and think there’s nothing there.” To give the 14,000-square-foot habitat a sense of intimacy, Booth and his team relied on a warm Utah limestone for the interior and exterior, as well as installing pickled teak ceilings. Despite its robust project load—homes throughout the state, from Petaluma to West Hollywood, are in progress—BAMO has also contributed its talents to community-oriented endeavors like the recent expansion of the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford, which provides accommodations and support for the families of children with life-threatening illnesses.

Envision a 25-acre slice of heaven nestled into the Santa Monica Mountains overlooking the Pacific, a heaven that’s harvested and ingested with every breath and every bite, daily. Welcome to One Gun Ranch, an entirely real wonderland set high above the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. Owned and created by Alice Bamford and Ann Eysenring, One Gun Ranch (named by the property’s previous owner, Matt Sorum, formerly of Guns N’ Roses) exists on multiple levels that include a horse barn, riding trails, a creek, a main house, and an office where you can buy salad mix seeds, 25-pound bags of Supersoil, gardening gear, scented Bamford candles and Nohmad chocolate made with the ranch’s very own dried Meyer lemons. All this among beds and beds of the healthiest-looking radishes, carrots, arugula, lettuce and kale you’ve ever seen. You may have already experienced a morsel of One Gun Ranch when savoring its biodynamic salad mix at Nobu or its vegetables at Spago—perhaps you’ve even purchased its arugula seeds or branded DIY farm box at Bamford and Eysenring’s Ranch at the Pier shop in Malibu. The roots of the duo’s biodynamic sanctuary run deep. Bamford comes from “generations and generations of farmers”; her family owns JCB, a U.K.-based agricultural and farming equipment manufacturer founded by her grandfather Joseph Cyril Bamford in 1945. About 40 years ago, the company pioneered Daylesford Organic in Gloucestershire, England, a farm which Bamford refers to as “the Mother Ship,” as it produces and sells organic and sustainably farmed food, gardening accessories and housewares, in addition to creating restaurants and cafes. There Bamford learned about organic everything from her mother, Lady Carole Bamford. Eysenring, mean-

while, is a real estate broker whose clients include bold-faced A-listers in the film and fashion industries. She grew up in the farmland near Camarillo when crop dusting was popular—before people realized how completely dangerous pesticides are to our food supply, and where her mother developed thyroid cancer, likely because of it. (She recovered.) When Bamford and Eysenring met eight years ago, they bonded over horses, motorbikes and their love for eating “really, really, really healthy food,” says Bamford. “We both truly believe we eat our medicine.” Just before the women crossed paths, Bamford, who was a producer for film

“It feels like a cathedral of nature here,” says Bamford. “The combination of the air, the views and the proximity to these majestic mountains, all nestled in this incredible canyon overlooking the Pacific—everything is so special about this place.”

director Wes Anderson, had decided to attempt to create a version of Daylesford here in the U.S. When she Googled “farm” and “Malibu” she found spectacular photos of the ocean and horses on One Gun Ranch, for sale at the time. She couldn’t resist. Once there, she wanted to cultivate the heritage seeds and veggies she had grown up with in the U.K. She consulted the Malibu Agricultural Society, where she met a biodynamic compost guru named “Farmer Jack” McAndrew, who introduced her to his nutrient-rich soil. She became obsessed with creating biodynamic soil, composting layers in an almost spiritual five-day ceremony to create what is now, in certain circles, the stuff of legend: the Supersoil compost that is the basis of the ranch’s biodynamic approach. It’s “the gift that keeps on giving,” she says of the fertile mix, which has fans like Pierce Brosnan ordering it by the truckload. (For the uninitiated, biodynamic agriculture revolves around planting crops according to lunar and zodiac cycles, much the way the Old Farmer’s Almanac has instructed for decades. It’s based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner.) This “closed loop” practice also incorporates everything from the rescue animals that protect the ranch and provide the manure, to the leftover vegetation, which the animals are fed. Bamford and Eysenring live with their son, Otis, in a house on the property they rebuilt with architect Michael Kovac of L.A.-based Kovac Design Studio, and whose style Eysenring describes as “modern barn.” It’s light-drenched and airy, composed entirely of reclaimed wood (much of it from an old barn in Fort Bragg, complete with original lichen and moss). Metal and glass doors open to the views— and the residents, including miniature horses Luna and Blue, as well as donkey Waffle, who wander in and out. “It’s very organic,” says Bamford. “We wanted it to blend into the environment, so there’s lots of wood, stone and glass.” Continued on p.126

The way that we approach projects today, we can settle on a concept or direction faster. In a short period of time, we can accomplish more than what we used to be able to.” As for the end result, the goal is surprisingly uncomplicated: “Charlie [Pfister] used to always say, ‘Well, is it pretty?’” recounts Babey. “And it’s a really good way to judge a space. It sounds simple and cutesy, but it is to the point. When you walk into one of our rooms, I want you to smile, to feel comfortable and relaxed. But know that there’s been a plan for the space that you’re walking into.” bamo.com. •

The main living/dining area features artwork by their friend Wes Lang and photographer and explorer Sebastian Copeland, who ventures to Alaska, the North Pole and other remote destinations, camera in mitt. The idyllic atmosphere is one that begs to be bottled—and in effect, Bamford and Eysenring have done just that: They’re sharing their Malibu biodynamic lifestyle in One Gun Ranch, Malibu: Biodynamic Recipes for Vibrant Living, a new user-friendly, lifestyle-focused cookbook (printed on lightweight recycled paper, naturally), published this month by Regan Arts. The book provides recipes for everything from turmeric tonic to watermelon gazpacho and also gives suggestions on how to make your own compost, plant a garden of any size and shop a farmer’s market. In composing the book, the women hope to show the accessibility of living a biodynamic lifestyle and growing vegetables the way they do. “Anyone can have a green thumb,” Bamford says. “Plant seeds wherever you are, whether it’s on your balcony or fire escape, in whatever you have—an old watering can, a bucket or a boot.” She suggests planting the way they grow their salad

For all things Ojai, just ask Isabelle Dahlin—interior designer, landscaper and owner of the city’s design destination deKor & Co. (dekorandco.com), a store sought out for its eclectic mix of Californian and European pieces and worldly textiles, both new and vintage. The Swedish expat, who calls Upper Ojai and L.A. home (where she also owns a newly reopened sister shop, deKor in Atwater Village), is quick to point out what she loves about Ojai in April: “The orange blossoms—they make the whole town smell amazing! With all this rain it’s going to be one of the most beautiful springs.” Here, her top spots: • Farmer and the Cook Their chai is amazing—homemade with almond milk and a slight kick in it to start my morning. farmerandcook.com. • In the farmerandcook.com Field A beautifully curated store that carries one of my favorite designers, Pietsie Campbell’s eponymous line. They also have a lot of cool stuff for guys, which is great. inthefieldojai.com. • EarthTonics Spa I’m really into microcurrent therapy, so I’ve been doing the Kansa energy facial with microcurrent. I also love their frankincense blossom body butter. earthtonicsskincare .com. .com • Matilija Hot Springs It’s lovely up there and afterward you feel so rejuvenated. There are lots of great minerals in the water and there is also a cold spring to jump into. • Chief’s Peak at Ojai Rancho Inn A great place to have a drink before or after dinner; you can bring your own vinyl and they’ll play it. ojairanchoinn.com.

DESTRY ALLYN Destry Allyn may be following in her famous parents’ footsteps, but the 20-year-old daughter of Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw is doing it on her own terms. “My mom was a model when she was younger,” she says. “She was the one who was like, ‘Do you really want to do that?’ I’m going to be honest: It’s definitely hard on body image.” With this in mind, the Los Angeles native is eager to be a positive role model. “I want to make an impact on how young girls look at the industry—and promote being healthy, happy and confident,” says Allyn, who recently signed with L.A.’s DT Model Management and walked in Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall 2017 show in Milan earlier this year. “I’m here to promote the art of it.” She’s also an aspiring comedic actor as well as an avid equestrian, painter and photographer. “I’ve always had an artistic eye,” she says, noting that when she was 5 years old she began sketching fashion. As for why she chose to forgo her famous last name professionally in favor of her middle name, Allyn explains, “If I were to say Spielberg, the first thing you would think of is Steven or Jaws. I love my dad and I love having that name, but I want to make one for myself.” She continues, “Our family rule is if we want to be in any entertainment industryrelated job, we get zero help. We have to do it on our own.” • LINDZI SCHARF
