“The American Riviera – as wonderful as it sounds?” YES my friends it was, and if you didn’t attend you missed an informative, delightful “staycation” in incomparable Santa Barbara. Kudos to Kelly Azzarello, our Professional Development Director, for organizing and agonizing over the event. All of Kelly’s hard work paid off for our LA Chapter and provided the perfect opportunity to interact with our counterparts in that beautiful city. The events included visiting local showrooms, three informative CEU’s, and tours of local projects. All of this, enhanced with multiple brunches and dinners, provided opportunities for IP’s and designers to interact with each other. The third day of the event was a private limo tour of some of the local fine wineries, which included private tastings and tours of the estates, and a gourmet picnic set in an exquisite winery with a magnificent panoramic view. The day was definitely an exciting and relaxing finale to a truly perfect 3-day event. One major goal of the LA Chapter is to bring our large ungainly population in contact with one another, encouraging the exchange of information and knowledge which enriches all of our experiences. Events such as this, and our upcoming Palm Springs event, create such opportunities. Please, if you have ideas that you would like to discuss that would facilitate chapter events in outlying areas, let us know. Everyone benefits when everyone participates! n My Best to all of you,

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Los Angeles
I
t is hard to believe it has been almost a year since I began serving as your President. It has been an amazing combination of opportunities and connections, and I am so grateful for the experience to serve you in this capacity. My year as president wouldn’t have been as rewarding if I didn’t have a dedicated board eager to include our designer and Industry Partner members far and wide. Our chapter encompasses such a large territory, and bringing events and programming to areas like Santa Barbara and Palm Springs has been a board commitment to strengthen and enrich our whole design community. Our chapter President-Elect, Frank Slesinski, Allied ASID, our Director of Development, Kelly Azzarello, Allied ASID and our Director at Large, Shelby Fowler have put together marvelous events in Palm Springs, Santa Barbara and around Los Angeles this year. The continuing goal is to develop more programs and events in diverse locations across Los Angeles county. We want members to feel included with offerings of professional programs that resonate. Of course, making these events as good as they can be depends on member feedback,
so if you attended Modernism in February, the American Riviera Design Conference in June, or participated in the first Connect + Create in West Hollywood, we would like to know what you loved about these programs and ways you think they can be better. As an interior designer tirelessly working to improve my craft, being involved with ASID has provided numerous opportunities to connect with fellow designers, learn about the newest products and be aware of the most significant trends in our industry. I don’t know if I would have been exposed to The Well Building Standard, learned of the advancements in Universal Design, or been able to bring the advantages of energy efficiency as expertly to my clients if it wasn’t for my involvement with our very special professional organization. When I combine this professional knowledge with the friendships and business connections I have made through ASID over the years, I am very thankful for the opportunity to have been at the “helm” of our strong chapter these last months, and am very excited for the continued growth and exposure our organization will reap in the future! Best,
Darra Bishop

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT-ELECT
Los Angeles
W
e are three quarters through our chapter calendar! Looking back over the past ten months, we have had some marvelous events – both informative and fun. Our Christmas party at Il Moro Restaurant was a wonderful chance for our designers, industry partners and students to mingle in a relaxed, holiday themed setting. We celebrated and inducted industry partners Bausman & Co., Kneedler Fauchere, Legrand, Sherwin Williams, and Trendway into the Industry Partner Hall of Fame for their longstanding commitment to the chapter. Thanks to past chapter president and Committee Chair, Anne Wait, for putting the evening together. In January, Rocky LaFleur and his team at Kneedler Faucher once again hosted a tremendous “Welcome to Paris” reception during the Maison Objet trade show and Deco Off events. In addition, to a first look at new fabric collections from Pierre Frey, Jim Thompson, and Hermes, to name a few, and the introduction of the latest innovations in design at Maison Objet, the week was capped off with a fabulous gala celebration at the Hotel de Ville with over 700 attendees. The gloom of February was brightened by our annual pilgrimage to Palm Springs for the Modernism Week festivities. It was also an opportunity for our newly merged LA/Palm Springs Chapters to work together on this event. More than fifty members enjoyed the home tours, lectures and social events. For the first time, our chapter hosted a booth at the Modernism Show at the Palm Springs Convention Center, where designer members served as “Brand Ambassadors” introducing ASID to the general public. The support of industry partners Ceasarstone, Sherwin Williams, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams – Glendale, John Ruege, Epic Contract Group, Fabpro, Knoll, amongst others, all contributed to the weekend’s success.
In June, another long-weekend festivity was the Santa Barbara Conference spearheaded by our Professional Development Director, Kelly Azzarello (next year’s President Elect). Former Chapter President, Cindi Burnett supported Kelly in bringing this amazing weekend along the “American Riviera” to fruition. Several CEU’s, a tour of a major residential job site under construction, along with receptions that introduced some of Santa Barbara’s finest showrooms and vendors to our designers, filled out the weekend roster of offerings. Thanks to Ferguson, naturepedic, Stone West and Allen Construction for their support. August is proving to be a busy month with two must see programs. O n Saturday Aug 12, Jean Pinto, FASID and former two-time chapter president, hosted a traditional Italian dinner with bocce ball games at her beautiful SF Valley home to raise funds for the ASID Foundation. Industry Partners Closet Factory, Ilona D raperies, Delivery Associates and Jim & Linda Levitz contributed to its success. August 24th kicks off the newly created “Connect+Create – A Design Centric Series,” put together by Shelby Fowler (IP - Sherwin Williams), our Director-at-Large. The tour features showrooms Hastens, Walker Zanger, The Shade Store and Aga John with CEU credit available. Appropriately, our issue this quarter of LA DESIGN focuses on our Industry Partners. As you can glean from this recap of some of the year’s major events, a good deal of our chapter’s success is directly related to our relationships with Industry Partners, the life-blood of our chapter. Whenever you can, please remember to utilize these partners on your projects. They provide excellent product knowledge and guidance to help make your designs better come to fruition! All the best!

W E C E L E B R AT E A L L DISCIPLINES OF DESIGN
HOW WE D I N E WO R K IP IP IP IP IP IP LEARN All too often we fail to show our appreciation to our IP’s, which is a HUGE mistake. It is because of them we are able to do the L I V E wonderful inspired work we all love. I work with so many of our IP members and owe each a thank you, for standing by me when there G R OW are emergencies, problems, and deadlines as well as just general job related, day-to-day chaos. Without my Product Rep’s who followTEACH up on orders and make sure timelines are met, I for one would not be able to do the jobs I do and I certainly would not have maintained HOST the small amount of sanity that (questionably) I still have. You are my teammates! Undeniably, it is time we devote an issue that is dedicated to all P R AY IP’s who take care of our projects, our sanity and us!

CUSTOM APPROACH
Creating a Project Identity In each new project, designers are continually searching for that exclusive identity, a niche trait that will propel their vision in to reality. At Warren Christopher Fine Flooring, we are putting the ultimate control back into the designer’s hands with full customization of hardwood flooring. In today’s stream of ready-made materials, we are seeing more demand towards individuality than ever before. Design is no longer confined to what’s simply on trend but rather what’s truly unique about each client and their way of life. We have made it our passion to seek out new methods and coloring techniques while reuniting classic European traditions for raw, unapologetic beauty. Honing a specialized approach in deep fuming, 16
thermo-treatments, reactive stains, hand applications and pigment highlighting… just to name a few. Designers are given the tools to modify the amount of character in wood grains, balance the emotion of textures and transform the complexity and depth of color. Whether you’re crafting a 2,000sf cottage or a 100,000sf luxury estate, every story is molded through an inspiring channel of unrestricted imagination. Our obsession with quality and meticulous attention to detail has allowed us the gift to work with designers from all over the country, breathing new stories into homes every day. Hardwood flooring is no longer just a neutral covering but instead, a barrier breaking adventure to developing the soul of the home and a lasting work of art. n

DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT
Urban Farmhouse Design in the San Gabriel Valley
O
By Mattéo Bitetti / Matteo Designs
n a mesa below the pricier South Hills Estates, the California Ranch is the favored look for the neighborhood in which this custom home was built (1952). The goal for this project was to marry 1,500 sf of a newer farmhouse design to the original 50’s architecture - totaling 3,561 sf. The challenge was maintaining the home’s architectural integrity and equestrian ranch ethos, while providing solar HVAC, state of the art appliances and up to the minute technologies throughout the home. As with every project, some potentially lethal roadblocks were overcome; the budget put some “wants” out of reach, but all of the client’s needs were met. The success of this project was in achieving the client’s preferred farm- house style, while giving the impression that nothing had been touched. The availability of products from ASID’s Industry Partners rescued us from that lonely retreat to the drawing board more than once. Example: It took weeks for an oversized, jetted bathtub to arrive. On the day before its planned installation, we found that the tub had an ornamental lip that was neither visible in its marketing photographs, nor apparent in is written specs. It simply didn’t fit the space allotted. Fortunately, it took only one morning and two phone calls to Ferguson to locate a tub nearby. Now the tub is per-fect (and cost much less than the tub we returned). Other IP’s in the project are: Subzero, Elkay, Delta, Brown Jordan, Cesar- stone, Houzz, Living Spaces, Lurton, Schlegel, Toto, California Closets, Sunbrella. n

FIXTURE FOCUS
Finding the Perfect Fit for Pasadena

S
o you like the height profile of the spout, but would prefer crosshandles? Or are you looking for a rustic finish to go with your farm-house design? If only you could up with the perfect faucets for all your projects. At California Faucets, the goal is to give you exactly what you want, when you want it. In their recent Pasadena remodel project, Culver City based L2 Interiors selected California Faucets for all the bathrooms because of their numerous series and custom finish options. Business partners Stephanie Leese and Jason Lai wanted to give their new clients a modern industrial look and California Faucets’ Montara series was the perfect fit. They selected a graphite finish to accent the white marble porcelain tile throughout the bathrooms. In their Pasadena Showcase House project, L2 Interiors utilized California faucets’ custom Faucetry website tool which allowed them to match any handle with any spout in any of their multitude of finishes to create unique one-of-a-kind faucets design. The number of possible combinations is staggering with more than 2 million possible designs. Each California Faucets bathroom series offers the complete line of coordinated fittings, including lavatory faucets, shower sets, tub sets, bidets, and bathroom accessories. Like their bathroom series, each design series of The Kitchen Collection offers multiple handle options, as well as the option to mix and match from more than 30 available artisan finishes. In addition to award winning customer service, it is also a bonus that California Faucets is a Made in California manufacturer located down-the-road in Huntington Beach. Though we live in a mass-produced world, California Faucets has an artisan craft approach. Each of their faucets is handfinished, and individually assembled, and they encourage you to visit their factory for a tour to see firsthand your dream faucet being produced. n

Santa Barbara
anta Barbara faces south on the coast at the base of a mountain range, often described as Mediterranean, hence the name “The American Riviera.� The ASID American Riviera Design Conference took place over two days in this great city. The schedule was packed with great food, wine and CEUs! We began at the The Lark restaurant for lunch sponsored by Allen Construction, Naturepedic and Stone West. CEU on Flame Retardant in Home Furnishings by Barry Cik, Naturepedic.
CEU by Allen Construction Healthier Home Design, by David McWhirter.

By Janice Melton
elton Workroom, a textile design studio in DTLA, specializes in custom manufacturing products for homes, small museums and institutions, and carries fabrics appropriate for both dĂŠcor and protective needs. No project is too small to help designers and direct clients find textile and artwork solutions to restore Bungalow, Prairie House, Four Square, and many other design genres wanting clean, simple, yet elegant finishes. With hundreds of stencil, applique and embroidery designs in the spirit of early 20th Century masters that translate well in both traditional and contemporary settings, Melton Workroom customizes artwork for curtains, panels, cushions, shades, table runners... most any item offering a surface to hold a design. Though some projects due to size and quantity may take longer, once the details are approved, most projects can be completed in 30 business days. Formerly Prairie Textiles, Melton Workroom continues the strong presence developed 24 years ago in the Arts & Crafts style community by Ann Wallace. At the helm for the past year is Janice Melton, Allied ASID. Her eye for aesthetics honed as a U.C. Berkeley art graduate, a student in the UCLA Extension Arc_ID program, and with a behind the scenes career in the entertainment industry, is evidenced by the many repeat clients, both new and old. Designers and other non-pros appreciate working with a manufacturer who speaks their language. Many of the heritage designs offered by Melton Workroom are featured in the book Arts & Crafts Textiles by Ann Wallace. Recent window creations are featured in the Berkeley Architectural Heritage Spring House Tour 2017, The National Trust for Historic Preservation, The Hollspopple Historical Society, and even an historic lighthouse. With a client base that extends through the US and Canada, Melton Workroom takes great pleasure to help clients source quality one-of-kind designs that invoke handcrafted nostalgia. n 28

INDUSTRY PARTNER CORNER
Showroom Consultants— Our Product Experts
W
By Noel Lawlor, Architect + Design Liaison, California Faucets
e’re pretty good at making plumbing product at our California Faucets factory in Huntington Beach, CA, but we depend on our retail partners to convey to their client, the designer, which item is the most outstanding choice for their projects. These experts are well-versed professionals who intermingle with interior designers daily at our partner showrooms across the country. They are the dedicated professionals who are by your side when it seems like every day is an adventure and there is always a “grenade-du-jour” (hand grenade of the day, right?!). We love plumbing specialists and hope you do too. Put simply, they can make your life easier while making you look good at the same time. In addition to being well informed with product knowledge of various brands, they are detailed oriented and can help keep your specifications organized. They are problem solvers who find a solution to the latest snafu no matter who caused it, and are good communicators and bring calm to the hectic dynamics of a construction project. Oh! And they are good listeners just in case you and your client have one or two things on your mind. Just sayin’. They will also be your advocate when your clients have their “moment of inspiration” out of left-field (after watching HGTV all weekend). So the next time your plumbing whiz recommends a thermostatic valve, separate volume control and a three way diverter as being the optimal solution for your client’s shower experiences, count your blessings that they are on your team.

FURNISHING TRADITIONS
Crafting a Fine Tradition
By Tom Juhasz
A
family tradition of 78 years in the high-end furniture business is what makes JDM/Juhasz who we are today. JDM/Juhasz continued fabricating classical styles when our company moved to Los Angeles in 1979. Many of our original designer clients are still ordering from us after 37 years. Early on, JDM built a reputation for its excellent customer service and after-sales followup, which continues to this day with my personal attention to quality control. For custom items that we fabricate, clients know that what they sketch will be executed exactly as they imagined it. While their furniture is in production, we email
32
pictures of work in progress. Designers appreciate receiving these and forwarding them to their clients. Over the years, we have worked on many interesting and unique projects, including furniture for the British royal family’s yacht. But the one that stands out for me is the Fortress project in Newfoundland, Canada – a 10,000 square foot newly constructed private castle, designed by Shannon Scott of Shannon Scott Design. Back in the1970’s, my father’s furniture company fabricated some of the furniture for the newly built palace of the Shah of Iran , and Shannon Scott’s project reminded me, on a smaller scale, of all the intricate

designs and the special 15th century styles and details that we had to use. There were many design elements from Medieval, Gothic, and Renaissance periods that we used in creating all of the hand carved furnishings, including Savonarola style dining chairs, the powder room vanity, side tables, and the Gothic inspired carved bar stools and church pew. I remember that even the lion heads we carved on the dining chairs had to be “fierce looking”, per Shannon and her client’s request. It is projects like this that challenge us and give our work a unique flair, creating antiques of the future, to be enjoyed by generations to come. n

PARTNERSHIPS
Walker-Zanger Always There for Me! By Cynthia Burnett, ASID Burnett Design Group
So many of my projects involve stone and tile, and it is my neverending quest to find the perfect slabs for each one. I have chosen to share a few “snapshot” photos of current projects where Henry Madrossian, my “Super-Slab Man” at Walker-Zanger, has helped me find “the perfect slabs”. I can never thank him enough for his daily searches and his hovering protection. He is one of those people that is truly on the designer’s side, making sure things run smoothly and limiting those awful surprises that test the metal of all designers.

WHAT’S NEXT
Technology & Design By Karina Rizzo
O
ur world is becoming strictly dependent on technology. Everywhere we go, it is all about pushing buttons, and remembering passwords Even your watch now gives you directions, takes your pulse, tells you your appointment schedule and connects you to anyone on the planet with one voice command. When it comes to the interior design business, technology is really taking off and is set to play a huge role in the future of our industry. But which technologies should we choose? Which ones work? And how might we use them? Interior design as a profession partners with some of the most creative and exciting industries out there – here’s what the future has in store for us. During the trade shows in 2016 we explored smart homes. New gadgets now control and connect our homes to the 36
internet. Google launched a new technology line – a smart home control center – which acts as a personal assistant, features an alarm system, even uses your own voice to tell an intruder to go away. With a simple voice command, you can turn on your heating system, dim the lights to a specific preset scene, and tell your television to record your favorite movie for later. Milan 2016: Italian design studio Tipic has created a smart kitchen countertop that integrates various interactive functions including a sink that appears out of the surface with a simple gesture. And all can be integrated into the control system of your home or smart phone. Is it amazing? Yes, but not surprising anymore. What is next? We will see what Milan will come up with new high-tech kitchens this year. The next development in the technology
LADESIGN is a Quarterly Publication of the American Society of Interior Designers - Los Angeles Chapter
is 3D printing. Like the leap forward we took when 3D software gave us renderings of rooms in lavish detail and in perfect perspective from every angle, we can now print out a model in three dimensions. Expressing a client’s space this way provides an unparalleled design presentation. 3D model print shops are opening up to walk-in customers – just like Kinko’s. The demand by the public for this enhanced visual representation is growing. More and more clients are feeling a need to “see and feel” their future space before they can commit to any decisions. It does speed up an interior designer’s process and does reduce costs for the client – a win for both parties. 3D modeling just may become the next “must” way of presenting design projects. Another remarkable phenomenon of interior design technology is Virtual Reality
(VR). Imagine when a designer, armed with an iPad, walks with a client through their house and shows how a predesigned space will look. By aiming the iPad at a room, new software adds textures, color, furnishings, art – right into the scene. Imagine changing the wall color or chair fabric until your client agrees! Showing the designer’s vision for a given space can now be performed in real time in real space. It used to be prohibitively expensive and required a powerful computer, but now affordable augmented reality is here. You can upload an app on your tablet or smart phone and it’s ready to use with minimal effort. It is already being used by stylists and designers to show furniture in spaces to their curious clients. A new popular housing concept is the Tiny House Movement. Why tiny and why a movement? There are a growing number
of people that would like to downsize their living space simply to save money. It’s downsizing from 2600 square foot house into 150 to 400 square foot house. It is a definite way to save and can take your home with you on your vacation. The idea is to simply your life by simplifying your living space and reducing your spending habits. Next is sustainable design, which involves the concept of saving environments and living in a toxic fee habitat. The sustainable design became a buzzword in interior design industry. Interiors with a conscience became cool concepts. LEED and Sustainable are now mainstream. Another great tool available uses laser technology for measuring purposes. We can buy measuring tools in any hardware store, but the price can exceed $200. Now we can attach a laser device to our smart phone
and capture the details of an entire project. 3Dazer was created by Laurel at Sunset Group. It is a simple device that employs the iPhone and an app. It is not only used for measuring, but also has a data management capability that allows to designers to share information with other colleagues, vendors and design professionals. You can take a picture of any space, draw a line then measure that line, and leave a memo or a tag for later references. It is saved in their cloud, and can be accessed from anywhere, anytime. And it really saves time. It weighs just 2 oz. and has a very attractive pouch. Are you ready for 21st Century technologies, when it comes to working with demanding clients? Don’t get behind, because the next radical invention is just around the corner! And more, better technologies will come to market faster than you think. n LADESIGN | ISSUE 2 | 2O17

THE TEA GIRL OF HUMMINGBIRD LANE By Lisa See
From Amazon: Li-yan and her family align their lives around the seasons and the farming of tea. There is ritual and routine, and it has been ever thus for generations. Then one day a jeep appears at the village gate—the first automobile any of them have seen—and a stranger arrives. In this remote Yunnan village, the stranger finds the rare tea he has been seeking and a reticent Akha people. Li-yan, one of the few educated girls on her mountain, translates for the stranger and is among the first to reject the rules that have shaped her existence. When she has a baby outside of wedlock, rather than stand by tradition, she wraps her daughter in a blanket, with a tea cake hidden in her swaddling, and abandons her in the nearest city. Li-yan slowly emerges from the security and insularity of her village to encounter modern life while Haley grows up a privileged and well-loved California girl. Despite Haley’s happy home life, she wonders about her origins; and Li-yan longs for her lost daughter. They both search for and find answers in the tea that has shaped their family’s destiny for generations.
GRIFFIN AND SABINE: AN EXTRAORDINARY CORRESPONDENCE by Nick Bantock
From Amazon: Beloved by millions the world over, Griffin & Sabine redefines the art of the novel. With its combination of lush illustration, creative storytelling, and the guilty pleasure of reading other people’s correspondence, Griffin & Sabine is part romance, part mystery, and completely a work of art. Each turn of the page contains a new card or letter to be unfolded from its envelope, and is vibrant with wildly imaginative creatures, landscapes, and intrigue. Destined to become a collector’s volume, this limited, 25th anniversary edition contains new artwork, an original postcard, and specially created decorative stamps, making this a book that is as rewarding to enjoy all over again—or to discover for the very first time.
THE FALL
by Albert Camus
From Wikipedia: Elegantly styled, Camus’ profoundly disturbing novel of a Parisian lawyer’s confessions is a searing study of modern amorality. The Fall (French: La Chute) is a philosophical novel by Albert Camus. First published in 1956, it is his last complete work of fiction. Set in Amsterdam, The Fall consists of a series of dramatic monologues by the self-proclaimed “judgepenitent” Jean-Baptiste Clamence, as he reflects upon his life to a stranger. In what amounts to a confession, Clamence tells of his success as a wealthy Parisian defense lawyer who was highly respected by his colleagues; his crisis, and his ultimate “fall” from grace, was meant to invoke, in secular terms, The Fall of Man in the Garden of Eden. The Fall explores themes of innocence, imprisonment, non-existence, and truth. In a eulogy to Albert Camus, existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre described the novel as “perhaps the most beautiful and the least understood” of Camus’ books.

ON ARCHITECTURE: COLLECTED REFLECTIONS ON A CENTURY OF CHANGE
SIMPLY TUESDAY: SMALL-MOMENT LIVING IN A FAST-MOVING WORLD
From Amazon: For more than half a century, Ada Louise Huxtable’s keen eye and vivid writing have reinforced to readers how important architecture is and why it continues to be both controversial and fascinating-making her one of the bestknown critics in the world. On Architecture collects the best of Huxtable’s writing from the New York Times, New York Review of Books, Wall Street Journal, and her various books. In these selections, Huxtable examines the twentieth century’s most important architectural masters and projects, cataloging the seismic shifts in style, function, and fashion that have led to the dramatic new architecture of the twentyfirst century. Ada Louise Huxtable personally selected and organized the pieces into sections like “Art and Culture” and “The Art of Architecture,” and revised them as needed to bring them up to date. Whether you love modern architecture or desire a return to Beaux Arts design, this book will give you insight into the mind and heart of a critic who has artfully brought the discussion of architecture, architects and our environment to readers for five decades.
From Barnes & Noble: Our obsession with bigger and faster is spinning us out of control. We move through the week breathless and bustling, just trying to keep up while longing to slow down. But real life happens in the small moments, the kind we find on Tuesday, the most ordinary day of the week. Tuesday carries moments we want to hold onto–as well as ones we’d rather leave behind. It holds secrets we can’t see in a hurry–secrets not just for our schedules but for our souls. For those being pulled under by expectation, comparison, and hurry, relief is found more in our small moments than in our fast movements. In Simply Tuesday, Emily P. Freeman helps readers · stop dreading small beginnings and embrace today’s work · find contentment in the now–even when the now is frustrating or discouraging · replace competition with compassion · learn to breathe in a breathless world Jesus lived small moments well, slow moments fully, and all moments free. He lives with us still, creating and redeeming the world both in us and through us, one small moment at a time. It’s time to take back Tuesday, to release our obsession with building a life, and believe in the life Christ is building in us–every day.

THE FOUNTAINHEAD by Ayn Rand
From Amazon: This modern classic is the story of intransigent young architect Howard Roark, whose integrity was as unyielding as granite... of Dominique Francon, the exquisitely beautiful woman who loved Roark passionately, but married his worst enemy... and of the fanatic denunciation unleashed by an enraged society against a great creator. As fresh today as it was then, Rand’s provocative novel presents one of the most challenging ideas in all of fiction— that man’s ego is the fountainhead of human progress... “A writer of great power. She has a subtle and ingenious mind and the capacity of writing brilliantly, beautifully, bitterly...This is the only novel of ideas written by an American woman that I can recall.”—The New York Times

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
By MaryLinda Moss Perfectly suited art can breathe heart and soul into a space. An art specialist can bring this to bear, elevating your project to the next level with an extensive network, understanding of the design process, and a special sensitivity to the needs of both the designer and the client. An experienced art consultant can form a bridge between the fine art and interior design worlds, by guiding clients through every aspect of art selection, procurement and installation. Inspired by the Interior Designer’s vision, and garnering an exciting array of art, a trusted collaborator with expertise in art placement can enhance every project. To guide the client through the curatorial process as directed by the designer a “Custom Art Plan”, based on design vision, budget and stylistic preferences is required. This insures the art is in alignment with the project and also allows for an evolution of the client as collector, discovering artwork that speaks to them personally. Next, a “Project Plan” is established, incorporating the design’s color and style; art preferences are discussed, and existing collections assessed. Potential areas for art placement are determined. Utilizing a professional art sourcing expert provides extensive connections to artists and galleries, custom “Collections” are created and shared. An “Art Plan Document” lists areas for art placement, potential pieces and pertinent information. Revised documents help the designer and client to make decisions with ease and comfort, providing references to all pieces under consideration. Showing the art under consideration in context, through “Photo Renderings”, clarifies the direction, refining the selections. Ideally, when possible, art is brought on memo to the location before any final decisions are made. Often, original works can be commissioned under expert guidance and care. Hiring a professional with excellent collaborative relationships with artists ensures an easy and inspiring process, particulary when commissions are the final option. Finally, documentation of all purchases on “Art Data” Sheets and “Certificates of Authenticity”, are presented to designer and client for collection and investment purposes. n MaryLinda Moss, owner of Source Art and lead consultant, has a tremendous passion for art and a keen sense of aesthetic. With a degree from The Art Institute of Chicago, followed by many active years in the art world as both an artist and as an art consultant collaborating with Interior designers, MaryLinda is uniquely positioned and qualified to support interior designers and their clients. 44

Indigenous Mexican Design Marries American Aesthetic
L
ast year we were presented with an opportunity to furnish a home in Topanga Canyon for a family moving here from Mexico City. Our vision was to create an environment reminiscent of their home in Mexico, using indigenous Mexican inspired design elements married with traditional American design. As a former chapter president, and ASID member for over thirty years, one of the most valuable aspects of my ASID membership is the relationships that I have built with our Industry Partners. Whenever I begin a project the first thing I think about is calling on our Industry Partners. Over the years they’ve become my dear friends and it’s exciting to reconnect and work together. Early American furniture and handcrafted design appealed to our clients who were excited to embrace their new home in the United States. Topanga’s history inspired our design as we wanted to express the magnificent countryside in view from every room. Views are of rolling hills covered with tall golden grasses, and oaks sprinkled over the hillside. The sisal area rug in the Living Room resembles the golden hills and the natural wood parquet tables mirror the eucalyptus trunks. The leather tufted sofas remind us of the traditional lounges from the Early American West. The inlayed wood console in the Family Room has a Mexican motif. In the Dining Room the natural glass pendants handmade in Mexico take us back to the early American traditions when furniture and fixtures were handcrafted using local materials. n
