EDITOR'S SPACE we love thee... especially here at New York Spaces! In this city full of creative souls, innovation and imagination add multi-layered hues to this canvas we call home. Our editorial director, Jason Kontos, passed the baton to me with this issue, and as the Spaces design editor, I'm happy to be sharing my favorite products and ideas in categories such as Shock, Scale, Black & White, and Pattern of course. On our pages, we showcase the seminal showrooms and shops that establish New York City as a design mecca, and the unique new shops and designers blazing neoteric trails on the design journey. We travel to Bolé Road, a Brooklynbased boutique offering Ethiopian-made items and visit Lucy Tupu—a rug and furniture designer inspired by her New Zealand and Samoan roots. We also delve into the respective shop and gallery of icons such as Tom Dixon and Todd Merrill, and then take a plunge into Pirch—the game-changing new kitchen and bath boutique in SoHo. The possibilities are endless, so we hope you join us on this printed journey of discovery today.

full swing, and the holidays are rapidly approaching. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the new season than with The Goods. This special issue is a must-have, because The Goods really has got the goods! Our editors devote themselves to seeking out the best new products and iconic designs, and presenting them in the most appealing, eye-catching ways. As a result, The Goods is a coffee table book and packed reference resource replete with 250-plus products. Each page of this issue helps to reinforce the power of the designer to choose just the right products for each client and project. As always, we aim to help our readers and advertising partners to make beautiful, smart, and functional product decisions for their homes. With so much information at your fingertips, we know that it’s our job at New York Spaces, in both our print and digital platforms to show what’s possible now and what chic ideas are coming—in other words, to help make decorating fun, exciting, and accessible. This season our calendars have been filled with events. During the New York Design Center’s annual “What’s New, What’s Next” festivities, New York Spaces partnered with Atelier to host a panel on the ins and outs of getting published. Our editors, Jason Kontos and Deb Martin, gave an in-depth look at how New York Spaces takes you through a visual journey. Falling into a room and finding that special je ne sais quois is really what it is all about. And in this issue, our feature companies all have that special “something.” At Sarajo, a new SoHo showroom full of one-of-a-kind antique textiles dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, the journey is one of discovery. And at Gabriel Scott, an innovative furniture and lighting design showroom in TriBeCa, Gabriel Kakon and his partner (and brother-in-law) Scott Richler, combine industrial design with luxurious elegance. There is so much more to come, so make sure to check newyorkspaces.com to see what we are up to. We extend a warm and heartfelt thank you to everyone who has made this a successful year. We couldn’t do it without you!
Warm regards,

CLEAN AND CONTEMPORARY Most-Selected Kitchen Design Style “Clean and contemporary, now considered a classic design, is the most requested kitchen style in New York,” says Ellen Elias, Owner of Elgot, a family-run business that has been designing and installing 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, that capture the very essence of today’s contemporary style. Cabinetry made in North America allows Elgot to ensure quality control, reduces lead times and permits 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. CraftMaid 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 known for even coloration that allows for longer and slimmer surfaces. Elgot’s beautifully-designed kitchens can be seen at elgot.com or in their showroom on Third Avenue (between 74th and 75th streets).

From Vendome Press comes A House in the Country, by architect Peter Pennoyer and designer Katie Ridder. A loving homage to the home that the couple built together in Millbrook, New York, the pages are filled with glorious color and classic design. The Greek Revival-inspired home is one-of-a-kind, and built on property that Ridder and Pennoyer purchased in 2009. The book is divided into three sections focusing on Ridder’s extensive and exuberant garden, complete with a gatefold of the plan and individual flower portraits; the interior, filled with her brilliant color palette and distinctive design personality; and the exterior, Pennoyer’s contemporary take on classical Greek Revival—a distinctly American style.

For the NYCB production, Balanchine used the orchestral suite rather than the original, three-act score.

BROOKLYN-BASED INTERIOR DESIGNER HANA GETACHEW CHANNELS HER VIBRANT AFRICAN HOMELAND WHILE DESIGNING HER ETHICALLY-SOURCED TEXTILES TE X T K AITLIN CL ARK
“MY MOST VIVID MEMORY is returning to Ethiopia to visit family in the more remote areas,” says Hana Getachew, founder of Bolé Road Textiles, a Brooklynbased boutique offering Ethiopian-made items. “What the women wore blew my mind. The bright colors and patterns were so vivid, so alive.” Deeply moved and inspired, Getachew decided to merge her two passions—her African heritage and her love for design—into a livelihood. From design to fruition, every aspect of Getachew’s creative process has African roots. “I began this company as a way to feel more connected to Ethiopia and to support women’s businesses there,” she says. All of Getachew’s African-inspired designs are sketched in her Crown Heights studio and handwoven by local artisans in Ethiopia according to ancient weaving traditions, passed down from generation to generation. By blending the ancient with the modern, Getachew’s aesthetic is hip and sustainable. Color is a constant in Getachew’s textiles and the bright pink, orange, blue, and yellow hues are often inspired by

her travels. “I think getting out of your comfort zone shifts your perspective,” she says. “That’s what creativity is all about—imagining things in a new way." And she doesn’t win the style battle all the time— Getachew credits her weavers with pushing her designs to the next level. “Seeing the design in sample form is always exciting and nerve-racking. It’s the true test: will this work or will it be really bad? And sometimes the weaver executes your work in a different way than what you envisioned but it’s so much better than what you imagined,” explains Getachew of the multi-continent collaborative design process. Getachew plans to expand her colorful range of pillows and throws to include a baby line (she welcomed her own little one in July) and table linens, but her signature cheery aesthetic will remain constant. “I think color has the power to take you to the next level in terms of mood and spirit, especially with interiors. We spend most of our lives in our homes, so it’s important for them to lift us up.” SEE RESOURCES

CARRYING SAMPLES OF marble tile door-to-door is no easy task, but in 1996 when David Meitus decided to open Studium, that is exactly what he did. One of his earliest clients, legendary interior designer Albert Hadley, shared some valuable words of wisdom. “Albert told me, ‘Every good designer will want to look at your product.’ I never forgot that.” Meitus learned that lesson well and his broad and ever-growing range of materials and options shows it. “I always want to see new product. And if I bring something in here, we have to believe in it.” Since those early days, he has built Studium into a veritable library of fine surface materials and CONTINUED beautiful designs.

In addition to a full complement of marble in every size, shape, color, and design, Studium offers a full range of mosaics in intricate patterns and glorious color, as well as porcelain and even silk-screened metal panels. They recently partnered with Ashley Hicks, son of the iconic English designer David Hicks, to produce a special collection of flooring based on Hicks’s vibrant and graphic designs. Executed in marble and limestone, the patterns have never been available in flooring before. “We have a depth of choice here that is really unmatched,” says Meitus. “We offer a tremendous range of alternatives and advice, and we understand the importance of communication.” The showroom, organized by color and material, could easily overwhelm with choices, but as Meitus explains, the knowledgeable staff at Studium is there for every step of the process. “Budget is always a factor and we have so many different ways to satisfy the design process, and also pay attention to the client’s needs.” For example, mosaics are perfect for flooring, offering “more bang for the buck,” and can be combined with elegant but simple marble tiles to create an extraordinary look, at a more reasonable cost. Says Meitus, “For me it’s like Sharon Stone at the Oscars—a Gap shirt paired with Vera Wang: Elegant. That’s what we do.” SEE RESOURCES
IN TRIBECA, LUCY TUPU’S RUG AND FURNITURE LINES ARE INSPIRED BY HER NEW ZEALAND AND SAMOAN ROOTS TE X T K AITLIN CL ARK
“I GREW UP IN NEW ZEALAND in the 70s, and I find a lot of inspiration in the retro look—Tupperware, wallpaper, push button phones,” says Lucy Tupu, of her spunky, utilitarian aesthetic. “My style reflects back to very functional items.” The designer unveiled her debut collection of furniture, rugs, and lighting at the 2016 International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) to an overwhelmingly positive reception. “The most resolved pieces are the furniture and the lighting," she says. “It was a great platform for me to launch the business, especially the rugs and furniture.” By blending functionality with bright primary colors, geometric patterns and rich textures like velvet and felt, Tupu’s pieces are sophisticated and playful, but her overarching design principle is usefulness. “There needs to be purpose behind design; I won’t design a pencil holder just to do it,” she says. Tupu’s unconventional creative process often takes unexpected turns, but she credits the organic design process with some of her best work. “Sometimes I tell myself to sit down and design a chair, but I’ll end up with something completely different and surprising, just through exploration of different ideas,” she says. “I love the process just as much as I love the outcome.” As Tupu approaches her one-year anniversary, she thinks about the evolution of her brand and the future of her work. “I absolutely love what I do and I hope that comes across in my work for years to come.” SEE RESOURCES RETRO FIT CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: “My musical influences—Donna Summer, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Michael Jackson—and their retro vibe come across most vibrantly in my rug designs.” Moa was the first rug offered at Tupu’s ICFF launch; The designer, on the streets of TriBeCa; A rug, with Art Deco shapes and muted palette, is inspired by Northern New Zealand; Flax Cubes are a contemporary take on traditional Samoan weaving techniques.

Bright copper, hammered steel, marble, cast iron, and wood feature heavily in his fall accessories collection, serving as the perfect complement to statement pieces like wingback chairs with a clean silhouette. The New York location was selected with experimentation in mind. Fans of contemporary decor will be drawn to its black walls, sheepskin rugs, and shiny copper lighting fixtures. Casual shoppers can browse the current collection, while interior designers and wholesale buyers can sample fabrics and other materials in the basement. The raw, unfinished space aims to be a living representation of Dixon’s mission: To make products that are tough enough to withstand professional wear and tear, but attractive enough for today’s discerning buyers. Dixon’s meticulous attention to quality and detail are evident everywhere, from the candles in the Alloy collection—which feature fragrance notes of steel, wood, amber, and cypriol encased in custom made cast-iron containers—to the Oil collection, an assortment of multicolored vessels that house scents like cypress and guaiac wood. Decorative objects such as the Orbit collection of nesting trays are both functional and sculptural. SEE RESOURCES

SOME PEOPLE JUST grow tired of Manhattan. That’s what happened to a New York couple who decided to leave their spacious Chelsea loft and move upstate to the Hudson Valley. The men, mostly retired, owned a weekend house in the area and felt that they never spent enough time there. But moving into the dwelling on a permanent basis was not an option. It was built in the 1820s and came with all the problems of old houses. So they began to hunt for a place that was both comfortable and modern. “We didn’t want to give up the luxury of what we had in the city,” says one of the owners. The search proved fruitless and they realized the need to build something themselves. They first purchased 52 acres, then 12 more and sought the services of the architectural firm of BarlisWedlick. Dennis Wedlick was an old friend and he had an office in Hudson, New York, not too far away. The brief was clear: “They wanted an urban quality in a rural house,” says Wedlick. The architects created what Alan Barlis describes as an iconic assemblage of rural structures, each with its own separate function. The living room is a classic glass-walled CONTINUED

modern pavilion; the kitchen, with its soaring twostory pitched roof feels more like a barn; a dramatic three-story staircase—one level leads down to the basement— connects the disparate spaces. The materials are simple and classic: wood, stone, and concrete. “It’s a modern version of a traditional building,” says Barlis of the 4,600-square-foot dwelling. For the interiors the owners worked with designer Martin Raffone who had previously done the couple’s Manhattan loft. Raffone explains that they wanted him to bring their urban aesthetic to the house and accordingly used most of the furniture from their Chelsea apartment. The fit was not a problem since the owners had asked the architects to match the rooms to the proportionate scale of the loft. “It’s very modern and minimal, but with rich textures and allusions to a barn,” says Raffone. “We wanted the best of both worlds,” says one of the owners. And they feel that they more than have it. SEE RESOURCES

GENERATION NEXT TODD MERRILL PROPELS ANTIQUE COLLECTING ALONG THE DESIGN CONTINUUM "AS A KID I could tell you the difference between furniture by a cabinetmaker in New Hampshire and one in Vermont,” says 52-year-old, third-generation antique dealer Todd Merrill. “I thought that was completely normal dinner conversation.” Later, as public relations director at Christie’s in the 1990s, he became frustrated that much of the American midcentury one-off designer furniture he was seeing—significant though he knew it was—lacked historical documentation. “I realized there was an entire authentic period of furniture that had just been pushed aside onto the trash heap,” he says, “which is literally where I pulled some of my first Paul Evans pieces.” So in 2000 he opened his namesake gallery, specializing in American studio furniture from the 1920s through the 1990s by makers such as James Mont, the LaVerne's, Karl Springer, Tommi Parzinger and Phillip Lloyd Powell. An instant success, Merrill was instrumental in reviving the careers of both Evans and Powell. Then, in 2005, he moved to a cavernous 4,000-square-foot TriBeCa space in a 1915 Louis Sullivan building. Merrill distinguishes his focus from craft studio-based furniture by Wendell Castle or Wharton Esherick in that his niche incorporates “a CONTINUED

diversity of materials and finishes, and much of the work is historically inspired. There’s more refinement informed by more narrative and content.” His book, Modern Americana (Rizzoli), first published in 2008, now offers scholarship on the period. A 10-year anniversary reissue will include 35 new pages of information. Merrill also just completed his second summer at his seasonal Southampton gallery, which concentrates on newer visual and furniture artists. The latter category, called Merrill Studio, had its origins in pieces Merrill commissioned from living designers like Powell. “We’re now interested in the 21st-century,” he says of international makers in “that gray space between art and design” such as Joseph Walsh, Marc Fish, Erin Sullivan, Markus Haase, and Beth Katleman.

LUXURY EXPERIENCE INSPIRATION AND IMAGINATION GO HAND-IN-HAND AT PIRCH, A GAME-CHANGING KITCHEN AND BATH BOUTIQUE IN SOHO TE X T JILL SIE R ACKI
IT STARTED WITH a very basic occurrence, something that most people have experienced while renovating or furnishing a home—buying appliances. But what united Pirch cofounders Jeffrey Sears and Jim Stuart was that they found the experience to be, well, terrible. “The appliance buying process was simply the worst and
84 N E W Y O R K S P A C E S . C O M
most uninspiring shopping experience either of us had ever had, especially considering that these products would adorn the most important spaces in the home,” says Spears. Aimed at creating a better way, the duo launched Pirch in 2009, armed with a manifesto that guides operations throughout the entire organization, including the company’s nine U.S. showrooms, the newest of which is in SoHo. Demonstrating just how fundamentally different Pirch is from other retailers, nowhere in the 23-phrase outline are the words “sales” or “product,” but instead states life lessons like “Be yourself, you are beautiful” and “Live joyfully,” an ideology so VIP it’s branded on free bracelets available at the on-site coffee bar, Café Bliss. “It seems tragic that the beautiful products that are manufactured in the kitchen, bath, and outdoor category are merchandised in the manner they are,” says Sears of other big box appliance retailers. “There was no activation or ability to try the products, no opportunity to learn and explore, and really no new way to understand what is possible.” Inside Pirch’s Manhattan location, everything is possible from testing out the iPad-controlled showerheads in the lower level “Sanctuary,” to cooking classes in the upstairs “Savor” kitchen, which hosts daily demonstrations and complimentary cooking classes. All the faucets—including the world’s first 3D-printed models—are operational. CONTINUED

Here, visitors are encouraged to push the buttons, turn the dials, and climb into the tubs. “We didn’t understand how you could ask guests to make long-term decisions on products that are destined to adorn their homes if you couldn’t use them,” says Sears. “Whether it is cooking equipment or simply watching and feeling the flow of water out of a showerhead, these are products that are used multiple times a day in your home, and we feel that it is important to help make sure our guests make an informed decision.” And while the free coffee, boutique—which has attracted such A-list visitors as Reese Witherspoon—chefprepared meals, artful design, and “Anything, Everything” desk, which can help with everything from your shopping experience to making dinner reservations for after, all shout high-end, Pirch keeps prices on ranges and cooktops, sinks and faucets, washers and dryers, grills, pizza ovens, and other fixtures competitive. Instead of outsourcing installation, Pirch employs their own team and offers a three-year warranty to back up their work. Should you fall in love with one of the retailer’s fully decked-out kitchens, Pirch’s “lifestyle experience advisors” can guide you to the store’s partnership with SieMatic cabinets, Oceanside Glasstile, and Eldorado Stone (outdoor), among others, to capture the full look in your home. Says Spears, “We believe it is a privilege to have a guest in our store, and we never forget that gift is given to us.” SEE RESOURCES

DREAM WEAVER
BRUNSCHWIG & FILS AND J.D. STARON INTRODUCE THEIR LATEST RUG COLLABORATION BLENDING MASTERFUL WEAVING SKILL WITH ELEGANT DESIGN TE X T MAT T STEWART
PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF J.D. STARON.
THE BEAUTY OF the natural world and the grandeur of architecture have inspired Jakub Staron since his boyhood in Poland. After earning a dual MA in Fine Art and Weaving, Staron began working as a historic rug and tapestry restorer in London, where he acquired an appreciation for the artistry and tradition of his craft. That respect for history is the cornerstone of J.D. Staron, a collective of artists and designers who have been creating exceptional rugs and carpets that can best be described as functional art since 2004. Based in Stamford, CT, Jakub and the artisans at J.D. Staron embrace nature through more than their designs. Environmentalism informs every decision. They weave their pieces using sustainable and untreated materials, and work only with mills that are fair trade employers. In 2014 Staron began working with Brunschwig & Fils, a house known for superior textiles and furniture for more than a century, and the results have been superlative. Their latest collection, called Impressions, encompasses Staron’s harmonious aesthetic in 13 rugs that are a blend of wool, silk, and nettle yarns created in a Tibetan weave. This allows the various color palettes to range from the dusky coolness of sunset to the brilliance of midday light. “I drew on the warm memories from my travels to originate and fashion the collection,” says Staron. “The dreamscape of color and pattern was inspired by a play of light and shadows on ancient buildings throughout Europe and Asia.” SEE RESOURCES

GABRIEL KAKON AND his partner (and brother-in-law) Scott Richler, Canadians from Montreal, are channeling their love of great design into a modern, approachable, and innovative line of furniture and lighting. With backgrounds in industrial design, jewelry design, and architecture, they are translating their experience into a new, streamlined aesthetic for the home. “We were doing a lot of bespoke pieces for our architecture projects: a $30,000 table with a piano finish and intricate inlay, for example,” says Kakon. “It was all very contemporary and chic, but pricey and one-of-a-kind.”

They decided to put the architecture practice on hold, and focus on a line of furniture that was, as Kakon says, more “exportable.” In 2012, they did their first ICFF show with the Dean series, the Marx stool, and the Kelly chandelier. In October 2014 they opened their flagship showroom in the Brewster Carriage House on Broome Street. The historic space contrasts beautifully with their elegant yet industrial designs. “We have a consistent starting point in everything we do and that is steel. It’s a very accessible material, and you can be very precise. The prototypes start with a CAD drawing, then are laser-cut, machined, and finished with either powder coating or plating.” Kakon says this concept makes it easy for them to make design decisions in keeping with their overall aesthetic. “Whether it’s furniture or lighting, it all starts from the same place.” The lighting incorporates blown glass, but even that most handmade of materials has a machined quality. “In our Harlow series we use moldblown glass, which is much more complicated than mouth-blown.” Kakon continues, “We create a steel mold and the glass is blown inside it. It fits our geometric style.” Harlow comes in soft colors such as CONTINUED

Smoked-Gray and California-Pink, and uses prong settings that echo jewelry, in copper or brass. The popular Welles series speaks to their industrial design past, with interconnected and modular geometric shapes that can be configured vertically and horizontally, as hanging chandeliers or fixed wall units. Welles also comes in a blown-glass version, is available as pendant lighting, and will soon be available as a desk lamp as well. A new line of furniture, the leggy Bardot series, marks the first time the designers have done proper seating. “Chairs represent a design challenge in that you have to consider ergonomics, weight and balance, and varying heights. “We always try to present both a masculine and feminine side in our designs. While we have a bold industrial reference, we try to always keep the pieces timeless and sexy.� SEE RESOURCES

"LET'S TALK ABOUT ikats." Yosi Barzilai begins pulling swaths of fabrics out of glass-fronted cabinets. “What makes an ikat is that the threads are dyed before they are woven. Here is one from Mexico, a rebozo shawl like Frida Kahlo would have worn. And this one is very rare, from Ecuador.” He continues to shake out the multi-hued, beautifully preserved textiles. “This is a velvet ikat, can you imagine? And this one is from India but exported to Indonesia!” He says, “You can always tell where an ikat is from by the dyes and the weave. They come from all over the world: South America, Asia, Africa, Western Europe.” His passion for textiles is contagious and as he moves around the gallery space he reveals his encyclopedic knowledge of history and culture as told through the design motifs and the centuries-old weaving, embroidery, and dying processes. Israeli-born Barzilai founded Sarajo in the 1980s, having reached the conclusion that the family diamond business was not for him. Focused on imported furniture and decorative items from Asia, as well as robes and textiles, Sarajo became a go-to source for both the design and fashion industries. In 2006 he decided that he wanted to raise his daughter in a more peaceful environment so he pulled up stakes and moved to Portland, Maine. “Maine was really transformative for me.

expenses were lower, so I could concentrate on doing things that I loved. I went from just surviving to being able to enjoy myself.” He returned to the city and reopened Sarajo on Howard Street in September. The gallery-like space has a selection of furniture and jewelry, but its primary focus is textiles. “I love the cross-cultural nature of textiles. You see motifs repeated again and again, all over the world. And yet the differences are so wonderful.” Barzilai can speak at length about the geometric and abstract designs from the Muslim world (“They used geometrics because Islam prohibits representational art.”) and the colorful animals and people in Hindu textiles. His stock includes rare and beautiful embroidery from Japan, China, Indonesia, and Sumatra, among others, as well as prized 17th-century bizarre silks from France, elegant robes from Syria and Palestine, plaids from India, woven banana fiber cloth from Madagascar and the Philippines, and fine linens and lace dating back to Renaissance Italy. To visit Sarajo is to take a world design tour via textiles, at warp speed. Says Barzilai, “For me, the best part is the hunt, all over the world. I was an Israeli buying ikats and suzanis from Palestinians in Jerusalem, and little by little, I educated myself.” SEE RESOURCES

TEXT BY DEBORAH L. MARTIN. PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF CULTURE OBJECT.
OBJECT OF DESIRE USING ORGANIC SHAPES,
and layered, multi-dimensional forms, Venezuelan artist José Sierra creates unique, wheel-thrown porcelain and stoneware vessels that evoke visions of the places that have influenced him: The Andes mountains, Arizona, and his current home state of Oregon. “The images of coffee mills, intensely colored mountains, and pre-Colombian art and architecture combine to influence my work,” says Sierra. The artist fuses geometrical and fluid forms to mimic the lines in landscape and architecture, giving his pieces a unique sculptural quality. While his work is reminiscent of the colors and shapes of midcentury studio art pottery, his style is very definitely his own. “The colors of the Andes and the Catalina Mountains inspire my palette of glazes and engobes, which are achieved through high-firing in oxidation and reduction.” He begins each piece with a wheel-thrown form, and then he augments it with hand-built additions, resulting in unique objects that are both complex and bold, while remaining functional.
