PUBLISHER’S LETTER

Seven Continents + 196 Countries + Four Oceans = One Global Village.

Dear Readers, While the fall fashion shows and inter national film festivals have come and gone, we welcome the arrival of autumn in Souther n Califor nia.

Interestingly, upon reviewing upcoming events for the month of October, I discovered it’s not just for pumpkins, hallows and the colorful leaves of fall; historically and culturally, it is a month of great celebration and significance. Aside from hosting National Day fetes in Croatia, Austria and Spain, consider the following October events of note: • The fall of the Berlin Wall was formally concluded, paving the way for German reunification. [October 3, 1990] • The

first

nonstop

transpacific

flight

was

completed

by Hugh Her ndon and Clyde Pangbor n, who flew from Sabishiro, Japan to Wenatchee, Washington – a distance of 4,860 miles in 41 hours and 15 minutes. [October 5, 1931] • The Beatles’ first hit single, “Love Me Do,” was first released in the UK. [October 5, 1962] • Columbus

discovers

the

west,

after

arriving

with

expedition in present-day Bahamas. [October 12, 1492] • The

waterway

across

the

Isthmus

of

Panama

was

completed when the Gamboa Dike was blown up – officially connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

President Woodrow W ilson relayed by telegraph the signal to explode. [October 13, 1913] • “I Love Lucy” premiered on CBS-TV. [October 15, 1951] • Thomas Edison invented the light bulb; the first successful test generated light for 40 continuous hours. [October 22, 1879] • Orson Welles performed his “War of the Worlds” radio broadcast, resulting in widespread panic when listeners took as true the realistically performed news reports of an invasion from Mars. [October 30, 1938] W ith these dates and events in mind, we were inspired to dedicate this month’s issue to Inter national Style. No matter how cliché-ish, the world will forever be connected as a global village – a perspective often gained through travel or even advances in technology. And while Jules Ver ne may have toured the world in 80 days,

we encourage you to expand

your worldview and explore your surroundings; whether you sail the seven seas or trek the four cor ners of the earth, we hope you are inspired by FINE’s October pages.

Enjoy!

The emergence of Swedish home design

By Joyce “JLynn” Gonzalez All photography courtesy of Swedish Interior Design, UK

“People love the Swedish look because it combines a clean, bright fulfilling visual aesthetic with a timelessness that fits both traditional and modern interiors – Gustavian, Biedermeier or Art Deco Swedish pieces are equally at home in an ‘antique setting’ or recovered with a modern fabric can look very cool in an ultra modern setting,” notes Jo Lee of UK-based Swedish Interior Design. “There’s a restrained elegance to the Swedish look that [can in fact] last a lifetime.”

DESIGN

Honoring Tradition and Fine Craftsmanship

an impressive array of antique Mora clocks – celebrates the simple luxury and tradition of fine craftsmanship from Mother Svea. With a network of contacts in Sweden, and strong family ties, Madeleine and Jo Lee, proprietors of the boutique, hone a deep-seeded passion for the Swedish

handmade bespoke antique pine settle

lifestyle. Aside from their in-house authentic collection from the north, the pair also handcrafts one-of-a-kind bespoke The Mora Clock

items (including furniture, mirrors and hand stitched rugs) from antique woods, lace and hemp linens sourced from Sweden for clientele worldwide.

According to the Lee’s, “We love the look and feel of the Swedish way of life; [from] the calmness and tranquility of the colors, [to] the sensuality and eloquent design of the hand carved profiles, the usability and practicality of the handmade artisan furniture.”

In regards to the tradition and appeal of the famed Swedish Mora clock, Jo Lee, co-owner of Swedish Interior Design, offered the following: Q: Can you explain the tradition of Mora Clock?

Lee: The ubiquitous sexy hourglass Swedish ‘Mora’ clocks that we all know and love originally came from around the town of Mora in the Dalarna region of central Sweden. As agriculture and mining failed in the mid 1700s, the locals

turned to clock making to make ends meet with families specializing in making or painting different parts of the clock, the move-

It is said that in the 1800s nearly 100 families were involved at the height of ‘Mora’ production, although taxation and labor costs eventually curtailed production. They differ in their curved shape from the previous squarer 1700s baroque clocks that have a more familiar ‘clock ‘ shape.

They are almost always made from pine and each one was a

Q: What is their appeal?

Lee: Most people think of grandfather clocks as the dark, heavy somber clocks of their grandparent’s generation with a somber tick shrouded in Victorian gloom. Mora clocks, on the other hand, have a lightness of being and an anthropomorphic shape that

Cardiff Meets Cape Cod

1727 Mackinnon, Cardiff By The Sea. A living testament to Cape Cod design, this Cardiff residence – resting due north of the San Elijo Lagoon and a mere eight blocks from the sand and surf – extends a coastal California lifestyle with a much lauded roof top deck overlooking the expanse of the Pacific horizon. Spanning an estimated 3,055 square feet, the four bedroom home affords custom detail and amenities, including White Oak and Tumbled Travertine flooring, vaulted ceilings and exposed wooden beams, along with Carrera marble counters, surround sound and French doors throughout. Featuring granite counters and custom cabinetry, stainless steel Monogram appliances and island seating for five, a gourmet kitchen overflows to family living; with an open flow floorplan, the space is crowned with a Shellstone custom fireplace and views of an outdoor garden landscape. And in true San Diego style, the brick-laden terrace celebrates alfresco entertaining with fireside dining and lounging. The second floor master suite offers double-sided fireside lounging and spa-bath treatments; a second level balcony unveils an impressive ocean view, with the added benefit of seaside sun-bathing. The beach-close residence is in close proximity to local shopping and dining, along with popular surfing, diving and tide pool locales along the coast.
