This past summer, I had the pleasure of visiting LongHouse Reserve, a 16-acre reserve and sculpture garden in East Hampton founded by the brilliant textile designer, Jack Lenor Larsen. Amongst the more than 60 contemporary sculptures, I was particularly taken with artist Will Ryman’s colossal, and fanciful LongHouse 6, an improbable, exaggerated 24-foot-tall cluster of six roses and fallen petals rendered in stainless steel, resin and painted in cadmium red light. The rose remains an idealized symbol for romance, natural beauty and perfection. Yet, Ryman designed his petals with bumps and irregularities. You can clearly detect its hand-worked quality, and his hint to embrace fading beauty, ephemera and the temporary nature of all things. As we forge ahead into the end of another “strange” year for the world, I hope that you will seek out and embrace beauty in all its forms. For artistry and design will always be in bloom, one way or another.

Well & Good
“Most of us spend 90 percent of our lives indoors, and two-thirds of that is in our homes,” says designer Tamara Magel. “Yet very few of us consider the impact on our well-being.” It’s a staggering and pertinent statistic that has inspired Magel and others to make wellness a cornerstone of their design philosophies: How can we build a house that not only looks good but also creates a sense of peace, beauty, security and comfort? For Magel, this started with adopting a 10-step healthy living approach. “A truly healthy home goes beyond clean materials; it incorporates our basic human needs for light, clean air and food, a quiet environment and a peaceful atmosphere,” she explains. In her work, this translates to non-toxic and eco-friendly paints, natural stone and elements (water, clay and grasses), natural

light sources and feng shui. “I tend to use less furniture and larger pieces to create ease of flow from room to room,” she says. “I start with symmetry and add strategically placed organic curves.” Symmetry is also key for architect Don Ruggles, an idea he explores in his book Beauty, Neuroscience & Architecture, where he maintains that the most fundamental geometric pattern is the three-point facial pattern—two eyes and a mouth. What may seem like an abstract concept for the home is actually quite relevant: “The three-bythree pattern occurs over and over again in architecture and art,” says Ruggles. “Your brain will intuitively process it in an efficient way, which creates less stress and more rest.” The architect mentions the classic fireplace set up, in which the firebox opening is the center, and the mantel forms the upper left
and upper right of the design. Notice the pattern once, and you’ll see it everywhere: a headboard with two nightstands; the kitchen range and hood framed by cabinets; a front door surround; and so on. In California, architect Jennifer Hoppel is championing beauty and sustainability. With her firm, Burdge Architects, she just completed the first carbon-neutral luxury estate in Malibu, aptly named Zero One. “You don’t have to sacrifice design or luxury to achieve a structure that is good for you and the environment,” she says, noting the residence’s intentional siting, outdoor courtyard, sustainable garden, FSCcertified wood and even its less sexy (but no less important) ventilation system that promotes healthy air. “Being green is not this big, scary endeavor,” says Hoppel. “It’s attainable. It’s the way of the future.”

Past Perfect ARTISTRY AND ANCIENT TECHNIQUES COMBINE TO CREATE FURNITURE THAT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME.
Father-son duo Philip and Kelvin LaVerne often buried their works in special soil, which would age the metal and give it the appearance of antiquity, like the piece shown here.
LUXESOURCE.COM
It’s been more than 30 years since the last piece of furniture left Philip LaVerne Galleries, but the demand for the richly detailed tables, consoles and cabinets has only grown. This wouldn’t surprise their creators, a father-and-son team who knew they were crafting pieces with an enduring appeal even as they made them. Philip LaVerne and his son, Kelvin, were able to use their prodigious artistic gifts to create sculptural bronze and pewter pieces prized by designers and collectors. Their story begins in the late 1800s when Philip’s father, Max, immigrated to Brooklyn from Eastern Europe. “Max was a muralist, and he painted the ceilings of lobbies and churches,” says Evan Lobel, the owner of Lobel Modern NYC and co-author of a forthcoming book about the LaVernes. “When Philip was a child, Max would take him to the library, open an art book and ask his son to copy the images there. From an early age, Philip had a great talent and appreciation for art.” Those skills and inclinations were passed to Kelvin who, after graduating from art school in the 1950s, joined his father in creating one-of-a-kind pieces and selling them in a Midtown Manhattan showroom. The surfaces of their furniture frequently carry vignettes

Walls
weeks in soil the artists described as coming from the “Far East,” allowing it to oxidize and develop colors. The LaVernes monitored the process, encouraging hues with chemicals and setting them with wax when they achieved the desired shade. When unearthed, they would freeze or torch surfaces to develop patina or brightness. “The LaVernes were really advanced for their time. Their techniques, which they said were inspired by ancient practices, were never divulged,” says Merrill. “They were essentially painting with bronze and pewter, doing things that aren’t easily copied.” In 1987, Kelvin closed the studio doors and took up photography. But, more than three decades later, the LaVerne legacy continues to grow. According to Darin Geise, owner of Coup D’Etat, the singular nature of the work explains its enduring popularity. “People have a new appreciation for LaVerne pieces, and they are having a moment,” he says. Lobel agrees, noting: “They used to run magazine ads calling their pieces the ‘antiques of the future’—and they were absolutely right.”
Current prices for LaVerne pieces, like the rare Tao Cabinet (below) and a table from their first series focused on historical civilizations (left), bear out the statement. Todd Merrill notes recent auctions that have seen LaVerne works command top dollar. “In early 2000, Sotheby’s sold a Bathers cabinet for $90,000,” he notes. “If you had one today, you could ask whatever you wanted for it.”
LaVerne Everlasting DESIGNERS ON TODAY’S APPEAL OF THESE VINTAGE PIECES. “ At once avant-garde and traditional, a LaVerne work is always a fantastic focal point to any interior. The burnished bronze and verde gris patina adds a touch of deceptive antiquity and the plateaux quietly reveal a bas-relief scene akin to the face of an antique coin.” –JON DE LA CRUZ
“ W hat drew me to their furnishings is that they can work anywhere—either in a traditional or a modern interior. They are just as beautiful in either setting.” –JENNIFER COHLER MASON
“ T he craftsmanship of a LaVerne piece is amazing. Every detail is elegantly articulated and every time you study it, you see something new. You have to wonder, how did they do it?” –JACK LEVY

depicting life in ancient civilizations or scenes from mythology. “They were a very intellectual family,” notes Lobel. “They were interested in history, religion and music. Their designs were inspired by the subjects they loved deeply.” Their top-secret techniques created a look that’s immediately recognizable. Todd Merrill of Todd Merrill Studio describes the process in his book, Modern Americana: Studio Furniture from High Craft to High Glam, as a multistep endeavor involving hand carving a design in bronze and overlaying that with thin layers of pewter and more bronze. After that, a piece would be buried for six

Regal purple isn’t for the color-shy, but designer Kati Curtis’ use of Benjamin Moore’s Wild Mulberry in a Rye, New York, vestibule makes the case for bold saturation— especially in micro doses. “People are afraid of painting small spaces vibrant colors for fear it will make them feel smaller, but the opposite is true,” she says. “Rich tones open up rooms and give them more beauty and depth!” katicurtisdesign.com

Note Worthy BEHOLD THE FRESHEST GREENS TO MARKET.
NATURE-NODDING GREENS ARE THE ORDER OF THE DAY. GARDEN CLUB “Green is my favorite color in all areas of my life,” shares Chicago-based designer Alexandra Kaehler, who accordingly envisioned her pantry as an emerald jewel box. Leaning into her home’s leafy setting, Kaehler selected Benjamin Moore’s Essex Green, favoring a high-gloss finish over lacquer for the character of its brushstrokes. “I love the concept of bringing greenery inside,” continues the designer, noting that clients are increasingly sharing in her penchant. “After being stuck inside our houses, I think people are extra hungry for an outdoor connection, and translating that idea indoors visually is really comforting.” alexandrakaehler.com

INTO THE WOODS In a surprise to designer Marie Flanigan, Harry Potter spurred a chic color scheme— specifically, the series’ Forbidden Forest, which Flanigan’s young client requested her bedroom elicit. “Her inspiration was a lush, deep wood, and we used a moody palette to execute that,” Flanigan says. After reviewing four kindred paint samples (her own best practice), the designer opted for Sherwin-Williams’ Rocky River, pulling its strong saturation across the trim and ceiling. “Evoking nature breaks the divide between the indoors and outside,” she explains. “Here, the green envelops you and makes you feel like you’re sleeping among the trees.” marieflanigan.com

“We knew Farrow & Ball’s Light Blue, with its serene properties and silvery gray tones, would lend depth of character. The room has a wall of windows facing a river, so it offers the gentlest nod to the natural surroundings.” “ Using a vibrant Benjamin Moore New York color found in a State of Mind painting as the background is a favorite design trick of mine. For this scullery, Benjamin Moore’s New York State of Mind was the perfect hue to highlight blue chip contemporary art by Bridget Riley, Lee Ufan and Tom LaDuke—and the lacquer adds another wow factor!” –CATHY AUSTIN, catherinemaustin.com

“The pigments in Farrow & Ball’s Hague Blue are always consistent, staying true to tone regardless of exposure. The saturation makes it a fabulous foil for a dynamic contrast, say lemon yellow or petal pink. Paired with caramel leather and a Persian rug, it sings as the backdrop for this gentleman’s study.”

Maximalist color has gone mainstream in recent years, and the notion of “neutral” has evolved in turn. Just ask designer Nina Magon, who saw designing a bedroom at the 2021 Kips Bay Palm Beach Decorator Showhouse (top) as an opportunity to show the world that pink can be just as restful as the usual suspects. “Color is so important right now because it elicits emotions,” she muses, adding of Benjamin Moore’s Rosy Tan, “we wanted soft and cozy, and I think we nailed it.” Designer Stephanie Sabbe credits the success of this color family as a neutral canvas to its natural connotations. In her clients’ Nashville multipurpose room (bottom left), she used Benjamin Moore’s Pumice Stone, which nods to a sunbaked desert. Beyond sea and sky, “anything in earth tones is calming,” she insists. “For everyday living, surrounding yourself with fresh colors like these brings happiness,” chimes in designer Melanie Turner, who outfitted her clients’ Atlanta living room (bottom right) in Benjamin Moore’s golden Windswept Canyon. After decades of greige living, designers and clients are in agreement: dusty shades of peach, mauve, rust and rose offer a thrilling alternative.

Stormy beginnings: Thirteen years ago, Alex Geriner, founder of furniture company Doorman, discovered an old cypress door that had been salvaged from Hurricane Katrina. Inspired, he repurposed it into a bed. Do the hustle: Geriner began selling other repurposed pieces, and soon, “It became this fun side hustle,” he says. Five years later, he fully committed to the company. Thinking global, staying local: Doorman is rooted in the Crescent City, but focuses on the bigger picture. “Home is more than just four walls and the roof. It’s the planet that we stand on,” he says. Beyond recycling: Geriner pivoted from repurposing old pieces (“reclaimed wood is hard to find these days,” he notes) to broader environmental initiatives such as working with nearby lumber mills that sustainably harvest trees and turning to renewable energy. “Solar power is about 80 to 90 percent of our production energy,” Geriner adds. Modern history: “We pay homage to the style of New Orleans,” says Geriner, “but we’re bringing it into the 21st century.”

Ahead of the curve: When Tracy Hiner launched Black Crow Studios, an art-driven custom wallpaper company, she set the path for the digitally printed mural companies that would follow in her footsteps. Doing more: “I was disillusioned with the luxury design industry,” she says. “Things happening in the world weren’t being addressed.” So Hiner started donating 20 percent of her Caliber Collection proceeds to a gun buy-back program. Rebellious streak: “I started thinking I could do this with all my collections,” she says. In 2019 the designer launched Rebel with a Cause, which she describes as a way to keep making art while making a difference. No limits: Hiner donates 50 percent of her personal profits to a range of charities. Each of her wallpaper collections is dedicated to a different cause, including justice programs, inner city arts and animal rescue. “I found charities that mean something to me,” she says. “I want to make the biggest impact.”
DUCHATEAU Soul searchers: In 2006, Benjamin Buzali and Misael Tagle started talking. They had noticed the difference between aged European hardwood floors versus that of new stained wood. “There’s a cannon to wood that’s changed over time,” explains Patrick Bewley, vice president of marketing. “There’s a soul to it.” Soon the luxury flooring company, DuChateau, was born. Thinking differently: DuChateau uses a combination of smoking, water bath and hand-scraping techniques, which not only creates the desired aged-inplace look, but it’s also sustainable. “We’ve always stayed away from formaldehyde and products with emissions,” explains Bewley. “And we’ve never used wood that’s illegally harvested.” Upping the ante: The company’s DuGood Initiative followed suit a decade later. “We were heartsick by the California wildfires,” says Bewley. In a partnership with the National Forest Foundation, DuChateau plants one tree for every floor sold. A portion of those trees goes to forests impacted by the wildfires. Fierce ambition: “We’ve planted more than 25,000 trees,” says Bewley. “Sustainability is our core value.”

Health, Wellness, Sustainability, Innovation MAKING IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE HAPPIER, HEALTHIER LIVES. The kitchen has long been known as the heart of the home. Perhaps that is because it keeps the home, and all who live within it, nourished. And perhaps the appliances central to its design have a far nobler purpose than merely storing, cooking and cleaning. That is certainly what Beko believes. The brand feels that the perfect appliance can empower people to lead healthier lives, while technological advancements—like the use of recycled materials and carbon-neutral manufacturing—help the planet to be healthier, too. The Beko
team is deeply committed to technologies that perform at the lowest levels of energy with the smallest impact on the earth’s resources, because of its overriding belief that you can’t lead a healthy life without a healthy planet. In business for more than 66 years, with products sold in 140 countries, 28 production facilities and 40,000 employees globally, Beko has been a household name in Europe for many years. But recently, the brand has expanded into the United States, bringing its commitment to health and wellness to even more homes.

BON APPÉTIT “This is a legitimate cook’s kitchen, but it doesn’t necessarily look like one,” explains Harrison Design’s Karen Ferguson of the area she designed for a serious Atlanta-based home chef. With the client’s wish list in hand—sous vide, induction cooktop, steam oven, compost bin and more—Ferguson set about understanding how her client would use these features to deliver a dream kitchen.
LUXESOURCE.COM
The design scheme started with a dynamic quarter-figured sycamore wood wall, which conceals appliances like the refrigerator, freezer and juice bar. To warm up the space and continue the organic feel, Ferguson opted for an oak island with delicate walnut dovetail details and a handsome butcher block. She added walnut hardware throughout for cohesiveness. Varying the materials palette, the designer incorporated patinated metal for the hood, cabinetry and backsplash, which also hides a storage compartment.
But the pièce de resistance is a custom glass panel flanking the range that features gold wallpaper and fabric on the backside— a decorative focal point in the room. Notes of rose gold and brass in the fittings and finishing details balance the gray tones and brighten up the space. Ferguson’s best advice for a flawless kitchen is to ensure client conversations about functionality happen upfront. “Tell me how you plan to live and cook in the space, and then I can show you how to use it beautifully,” she says. harrisondesign.com

In an Atlanta kitchen, Harrison Design’s Karen Ferguson worked with Block & Chisel on the cabinetry and included Fusion Blue Quartzite on the countertops. A Wolf range, rose gold Dornbracht faucets and Lutron shades complete the look.
For the latest and greatest in dishwasher technology, look no further than Miele’s new G 5000 line. The high-performance series offers an AutoOpen function that leaves the door slightly ajar at the end of the program to ensure excellent drying for plastics and glassware. Interior baskets can be continuously moved around and repositioned, and an optional third rack is ideal for cleaning cutlery.

SILVIA FRIGERIO, Managing Director “For me, the key word is ‘tailor-made,’ which is something I come back to every time I design a kitchen. When working on this Los Angeles project, I requested a list of the appliances the homeowners use daily, as they are avid cooks, and then incorporated pocket doors to conceal small appliances, double ovens and a coffee machine.

“Entertaining has become more intimate and personal,” says artist-designer Sarah Espeute, whose hand-embroidered table linens depict playful tableaus of shared meals. “Above all,” she adds, “there’s a desire for novelty now—a wish to travel through the table—hence the word ‘tablescape!’ ”

TABLE TALK
Artist Sarah Espeute doesn’t take setting the table too seriously. Just look to the chorus of snails, turnips, wildflowers and the like, which flit between hand-stitched place settings on her whimsical linens. From a shared studio space in Marseille, France, Espeute embroiders these convivial scenes on thrifted, often century-old bed sheets conceived anew.
For Espeute, the joy in her chosen medium lies in its dualisms—her linens are nostalgic and modern; dressy and lighthearted; decorative and utilitarian. She admires blurred boundaries in design. “Multidisciplinary artists with a broad practice have reinforced the idea that there is no limit in creation,” she says, citing the work of painters like Cy Twombly and Raoul Ubac, and the architecture of Luis Barragán and Carlo Scarpa, amongst others, as inspirations. While a multidisciplinary artist herself (Espeute designs furniture and paints), there’s something about the handmade character of embroidery— and the act of gathering around the dining table—that comforts and captivates her imagination. “I think embroidery really touches people,” she muses, adding, “it’s wonderfully sentimental.” oeuvres-sensibles.fr

Like many strokes of ingenuity, Oeuvres Sensibles (meaning “sensitive objects”), Espeute’s line of tablecloths, runners and napkins, was born from necessity. Coveting unique cushions and curtains for her own home, she turned inward, resourcefully picking up an embroidery needle—and the stars aligned. When a friend gauged her interest in creating a tabletop textile for an art exhibition, “I imagined a trompe l’oeil meal and things took off from there!” she recalls.
FRENCH LESSONS
Dior Maison artistic director Cordelia de Castellane has catalogued her flair for hosting in a new book: Life In A French Country House: Entertaining For All Seasons (Rizzoli). Previewing the bounty of inspiration within, here, de Castellane shares two of her signature moves for a sui generis fête. On linens. I love to order embroidered vintage tablecloths on eBay and dye them in my washing machine. How cool is it to have formal linens dyed a shocking hot pink? Contradiction keeps design interesting.
A tabletop vignette displays de Castellane’s maximalist tendencies. “The Saint-Louis crystal glasses and Clichy vases set the stage for this winter table—I even cheated by dipping certain flowers in dye!” she notes.
THE HUNTRESS
“My grandmother used to set the most impeccable tables,” recalls Federika Longinotti Buitoni. “To this day, I remember the gorgeous ceramic parrots she used as centerpieces, and the homemade clementine ice cream that she served on perfectly carved clementine skin. I learned never to underestimate the details, as this is often all people remember.” With such early-seeded reverence for the art of entertaining, the fact that Longinotti Buitoni grew up to found Collecto—a retailer dedicated to aggregating the finest tabletop wares from around the globe—is apropos. Traversing Italy for delicate glassware, France for Limoges porcelain and Mexico for handmade pottery, Longinotti Buitoni is building a veritable melting pot of luxury, artisan-driven homewares, with a new service wing offering bespoke, soup-to-nuts dining and kitchenware curation. Grandmother, we posit, would approve. collectoworld.com
On decor. You don’t need flowers to create an exciting centerpiece. In summer, I’ll fashion a runner out of ripe tomatoes only. For the holidays, I’ll fill crystal bowls with colorful candies. And there is no more beautiful focal point than candles—lots and lots of them in different shapes and sizes.

ART OF THE EDIT STYLIST MIEKE TEN HAVE DISHES ON ENTERTAINING AU COURANT.
Trick for charming guests: My mother always serves a little bit of soup in a teacup or finger bowl as an hors d’oeuvre. I think it’s such a clever and a fun way to repurpose tableware that isn’t used very often anymore—and more interesting than cheese and crackers! Finds you’re crushing on now: I collect a lot of antique plates, but my contemporary Alberto Pinto faux bois chargers are a favorite. While a classic motif, the scale makes them look more modern than grand-mère. I almost always reach for colored glassware—amethyst, emerald and aquamarines are my go-tos. And nobody does unique block prints like Gregory Parkinson. His colors are so luscious and interesting. Always in your pantry: I have tapers in every color of the rainbow. I mix them up seasonally and according to the table’s scheme. Hosting faux pas: Serving dinner too late. On Mieke’s holiday table: Gregory Parkinson’s hand-loomed pine zest ikat napkins (top), Pinto Paris’ faux bois buffet plate (center), Nason Moretti’s Idra twisted striped water glass (above) and vintage crystal-and-sterling swan salt and pepper wells from Chairish (right).

“From the outset, we were determined to create a business model with social impact,” says Goya Gallagher, who alongside Margarita Andrade, co-founded Malaika—a Cairo-based atelier championing traditional Egyptian crafts. At launch, the company covered embroidery tuition for local women, but the mission expanded with their retail success. In 2018, the pair opened Threads Of Hope, a free trade school, which trains community members for Malaika employment.
In both motif and materiality, the brand’s offerings—from silk-screened place mats to intricately stitched napkins and handmade pottery—celebrate the abundance of Egypt’s natural and cultural history. Ultimately, they hope this cycle of preserving heritage craft extends beyond the hands that create, down to the consumer. Notes Gallagher, “every piece in our collection has been carefully designed as a timeless family heirloom to pass on for generations to come.” malaikalinens.com

A family finds Lego room—and other luxuries of townhouse living—in a restored 1890s brownstone. W R I T T E N BY S T E P H A N I E H U N T P H O T O G R A P H Y BY B R I T TA N Y A M B R I D G E S T Y L I N G BY F R A N C E S B A I L E Y

Restoring the grandeur of this historic townhouse meant adding new spaces, like a library between the living room and dining room. “The owners wanted the parlor floor to be well used, so we created this place to sit down, read a book, play a game,” says architect Scott Hirshson. A Lee Industries blue velvet settee and walls covered in navy Manila Hemp by Phillip Jeffries strike a dressy tone.
A
t the outset, the venerable old brownstone was perhaps more whoa than wow for Bella Mancini. “To be honest, I was a little bit terrified when I first saw it,” admits the designer of the 1890s building her client envisioned transforming into a modern family home. The four-story, oncegrand private residence had suffered many affronts during the years it had been sliced and diced into a “single room occupancy” maze. Her client could see her initial reaction. “After our first tour, she said ‘I hope you’re not scared off,’ ” Mancini recalls. That fear, however, was soon assuaged by the building’s residual fabulousness. For the clients, as well as for Mancini and architect Scott Hirshson, the brownstone’s original elegance— from mahogany paneling in the foyer to an intact staircase to beautiful plaster cove moldings and fireplaces—shone through the scars from modifications over the years. That, plus ample space to accommodate a growing family, had been the selling point for the homeowners, who felt constrained in their Upper West Side apartment. “After our second baby, we realized we needed more room. My husband and I both grew up in houses. We wanted space for the kids to be able to play and to invite guests over without having to shove toys away in a closet,” says the wife. Not until happening upon a listing for a townhouse at their price point, she adds, “had it ever really occurred to me that you could have a house in Manhattan.” When their realtor sang the praises of Harlem’s hidden gems and neighborliness, the couple extended their search north and found the historic building in a landmarked district. “The bones were still there and still elegant,” the wife says—but it needed serious TLC. Hirshson embraced the challenge of restoring the home’s original grandeur, while making prolific adjustments—for example, adding a large kitchen and breakfast room on the garden level, and digging out a basement to accommodate a workshop for dad and Legoheaven for the boys. “We first thought about how the home was originally intended to be used, then translated that into a more modern
sensibility,” says the architect. “It was truly a gut renovation, with restoration.” Working with general contractor John Hite, the team removed and catalogued trim, doors, paneling and fireplace mantels, and refurbished what they could, often repurposing it elsewhere in the house, such as the mantel in the primary bedroom, which was salvaged from a guest room and freshly stained. To address light and flow challenges innate to vertical townhouse living, Hirshson added a skylight at the rooftop stairwell, cascading light throughout the floors below, and enhanced aesthetics and functionality, like his repositioning of the primary bathroom to gain a window—“a real luxury in New York,” he says. “In no moment does this house feel narrow and dark, and that’s because the design was so purposeful. There are a lot of character moments,” adds the architect, noting a touch of nostalgia via a window he incorporated into the third-floor landing, which was salvaged from the college dorm where the clients first met. There are plenty of vivid colors and lively patterns, too, thanks to Mancini and lead designer Taryn Burns’ exuberant choices. “I love that the client favored such strong, saturated colors— there’s nothing muted. The palette complements those rich, bold woods so nicely, and the house’s grandness allowed us to be playful with the design,” says Mancini. To wit: koi swimming along blue dining room walls, jellyfish gracing the powder room on the parlor-level (the “fancy floor,” per the wife), and a splash of custom tile in delicious apricot and blue framing the gardenlevel breakfast nook. Even in the entryway, Mancini amped up the fun with a mosaic-like wallcovering and a graphic light fixture, which are visible from the street. “I love the idea of entering into a jewel box. It says immediately that you’re in for a treat,” she notes. For the homeowners, the real treat also extends beyond the front door. The family enjoys being in close proximity to Central, Morningside and Marcus Garvey parks, as well as to great restaurants—and neighbors. “Harlem’s stoop culture is real!” shares the wife. “We have cocktails and dinners outside on the stoop. We love living in a neighborhood with good friends right here on our block.”

Coming of Age The thoughtful overhaul of a stone cottage in Nashville’s Belle Meade neighborhood blends century-old charm with au courant style. W R I T T E N BY H I L A R Y M A S E L L O S WA L D | P H O T O G R A P H Y BY Z E K E R U E L A S
Interior Design: Jason Arnold, Jason Arnold Interiors Home Builder: James Maciuk, Sage Construction, LLC
Designer Jason Arnold insisted his client retain the original black and white marble floors in the entryway of his Nashville home. “Those historical details are something you can’t replicate,” the designer explains. “When you walk into the house, it has a sense of presence and age.” To complement the room’s classic good looks, Arnold placed a custom metal table by Micah Farrer of Obsidian Ironworks, a vintage burl-wood stool and a Hector Finch sconce with leather shade.
T
he 1929 home that would eventually become Patrick Lowry’s residence always had charm. Reminiscent of an English stone cottage and located in the desirable Belle Meade neighborhood close to downtown Nashville, it boasts a historical appeal that’s nearly impossible to manufacture. “It was owned by the same family since it was built in the 1920s,” Lowry says. “It had been through three generations and hadn’t been updated since 1955, when the family added on to it. Talk about character.” To preserve that nearly-century-old allure while elevating the home’s functionality and style, Lowry called on his friend and designer, Jason Arnold, who had also designed his previous home in nearby Green Hills. “Patrick wanted a clean look, a livable feel,” Arnold explains. “He loves to entertain, so we needed to create a layout that could accommodate a lot of people or feel good for just an intimate little dinner party.” Arnold’s team recreated a set of as-built plans based on the home’s existing layout, then set to work reimagining the floor plan and flow. He preserved the location of the front door and the original black and white marble floors in the entry: “Those historical details are something you can’t replicate,” Arnold explains. “When you walk into the house, it has a sense of presence and age.” He also kept the location of the living room but swapped out most of the remaining spaces to create better circulation throughout. From that striking entry, for example, guests can peer through the dining room to the oak- and maple-shaded backyard, which was subtly finessed by landscape architect John Thompson. And though Arnold expanded rooms, openings and passageways to give the residence a more modern feel, he eschewed an open floor plan to preserve a sense of intimacy in each space. With the layout puzzle complete, Arnold enlisted help from residential designer of record Dale Gabardi and builder James Maciuk to execute his vision. After Gabardi handled drawings required for permit approval, Maciuk brought the blueprints to life. “James always says, ‘We can figure that out,’ ” reveals Arnold. “I can draw it and dream it, but unless you have someone who can actually do it, you’re dead in the water. James can always make it happen.” The team delivered on this combination of innovative style and careful construction
throughout the home, but it’s perhaps most notably on display in the handsome kitchen. One of the first decisions Arnold and the homeowner made was to forgo upper cabinets. (Well, the designer talked his client into it: “He said, ‘Trust me; it’ll be more dramatic,’ ” Lowry recounts, adding, “And I do love it.”) Less of a cooking and prep space and more of a service area, the room gets functional support from a large pantry that houses the oven, ice maker, sink and extra storage. On the kitchen’s back wall, a large slab of dramatic Danby marble, which Lowry and Arnold favor for its warmth and veining, appears almost as an art installation. The marble also covers the sleek brass island, a showstopper in the room. “I love brass. I’m a brass person,” Arnold says with a laugh. Tired of the typical “marble waterfall” island, he conceived an idea for “something to give the room more patina,” he adds. The island hides a couple of appliances and provides additional storage, all while offering excellent space for serving up appetizers. The approach Arnold took in the kitchen— timeless materials, clean lines, a few surprises— extends to every other room of the house. The tonal, textural aesthetic begins with pieces the client brought from his previous home, which Arnold complemented with sumptuous new fabrics, an earthy color palette, antiques and art. In the dining room, which opens to the kitchen, a simple but elegant grasscloth wallcovering in a muted tone defines the space without drawing too much attention. “When you put texture on a wall,” Arnold says, “it envelops you, wraps its arms around you.” The same rang true for the main bedroom, where Arnold advocated hard for preserving the original wood paneling. “I think James and Patrick were scheming to tell me it was damaged during construction, but it survived,” the designer says. Victorious, he painted the walls gray to give them a more modern feel; now, they lend a sophisticated backdrop to the velvet-upholstered bed and wood and metal décor. With fresh style poised to last 100 years more, the home delights both its owner and designer. Lowry says he especially loves the quality of natural light, the way the house welcomes his guests and the main suite with its warm, relaxing aura. For his part, Arnold relishes the way a person experiences the home: “It’s a big house, but it doesn’t feel big,” he explains. “It has an intimacy to it, and that’s just right for a home with such history.”

Lush velvets—seen in an olive green Lee Industries folding screen, plus a Hickory Chair sofa and club chair—add sumptuousness.

n the study of history, documents reign supreme. The legacy of an entire people can hinge on what was—and wasn’t—written. But for Los Angeles-based artist Umar Rashid (also known by the moniker Frohawk Two Feathers), the most powerful question a historian can ask is, “how?” What would the past look like if marginalized voices buried in the footnotes of history spoke for themselves? These possibilities come alive in Rashid’s fabulist alternate history of colonization in America. His narrative puts Black perspectives in particular front and center—an antidote to the absence of his own ancestors in the official national record. “Growing up, I realized I didn’t necessarily belong to this world where I couldn’t see myself,” explains Rashid. “For most Black Americans, we think our history began in slavery. But there is such a rich cultural tapestry that we have to own. It benefits the whole world to know that this singular narrative is not the only truth.” Set between 1658 and 1880 in Frengland (a portmanteau for his invented union of French and English colonies), his legend features a swashbuckling cast of characters entangled in epic romances and rivalries, from tyrannical lords to formerly enslaved rebels. Though tied to a specific colonial period, this world is an anachronistic remix of aesthetics: where ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and French Romantic paintings meld with comic books and 1990s hip-hop. As such, Rashid’s output runs the gamut in style and medium; his paintings range from formal portraiture to sweeping battlefield tableaux. He fleshes out this invented universe with relics of empires like flags and maps. The artist’s world-building deepens in dimension with his ongoing saga depicting Indigenous insurrection in the Spanish colonial missions of Los Angeles, as shown in the recent “Made in L.A. 2020: a version” exhibition at the Hammer Museum at UCLA. This marks just the latest thread in the annals he has written outlining this parallel universe, which he grounds in extensive research into our reality. These stories implicitly question how we remember the past. “What we know as history is a small fraction of what really took place because we get this sanitized version by our conquerors,” notes Rashid. His works suggest that perhaps with more inclusive viewpoints, history’s imperial violence doesn’t have to repeat itself. “Because ultimately,” says Rashid, “what I want is to see a different future.”

Inspired by its landscape, historic neighbors and urban dwellings, this Seattle house feels just right.
PERFECT FIT
Interior Design: Katie LeClercq, Katie LeClercq Design Studio
Classic East Coast townhomes inspired residential designer Katie LeClercq when conceiving this Seattle abode. Kippi Leonard’s artwork, And Then In Dreaming, establishes an inviting, stylish tone that’s echoed in a vintage bench covered in Holland & Sherry fabric, a rug from Jean Palmer Home and a Murano glass chandelier.
A
n old saying has it that lightning never strikes in the same place twice. But in the case of this Seattle home, it did when the new owners called Katie LeClercq for an encore performance. The residential designer, who had built the house from the ground up in Washington Park, a neighborhood populated by older dwellings, agreed to re-tailor it for the new family. To be clear, the owners, Los Angeles transplants who fell for the residence after seeing it online, weren’t looking for aesthetic-changing alterations. “We felt incredibly lucky to have stumbled on a house that already fit us so perfectly,” says the wife. Part of what drew them to it is the seamless way it fits in with the historic homes around it. While conceiving the design, LeClercq had spent a lot of time strolling the neighborhood taking in its stately architectural details; but, at the same time, the Seattle native was contemplating the hallmarks of classic townhomes located nearly 3,000 miles away. In her mind, East Coast and West Coast styles merged in a confluence that might seem unlikely in theory but is easy and appealing in execution. “I wanted the new home to nestle into the area in a pleasing way. At the same time, I wanted to incorporate the kind of factory elements you find in a New York City townhome,” she says. “You could say this is a Pacific Northwest historic classic with a nod to a traditional East Coast city dwelling.” LeClercq, who initially completed the project under the shingle of her former firm, H2 Design Build, and in consultation with since-retired architect Holden Withington, allowed her natural design inclinations to lead the way. “To create this home, I let the site and the surrounding neighborhood inspire me, and I followed my instincts. My choice of materials and colors—it’s all instinctual,” she notes. LeClercq’s design gut led her to marry regional details like a brick exterior and a steeply pitched roof with the more industrial-leaning features commonly found in urban East Coast residences, such as interior metal windows. While the brick exterior makes the dwelling right at home with
its established neighbors, the interior layout is decidedly more modern. “This house is about family gathering and entertaining,” LeClercq explains. “The kitchen and the great room—a combined dining and living room—are the heart of it.” Although the kitchen is subtly delineated from the larger space by a passageway lined with steelframed windows, the rooms live and feel as one. All three enjoy a connection with the large fireplace set within a wall of green shelves, making the space feel cozy and welcoming. “The thought was that the rooms would feel accessible and allow people to gather easily, whether the residents are hosting a dinner party, or kids are doing their homework at the table while the adults are relaxing in the living area with a book,” she notes. The color palette, largely pulled from nature, was chosen for its timeless appeal. “Again, it goes back to instincts,” LeClercq says. “We used a lot of greens, the kind you find in a rich forest—an element that’s central to the Pacific Northwest. When I go outside, these are the colors I see.” Referencing the deep green of the kitchen cabinets and the lighter shade of the same hue in the great room’s fireplace wall, the designer notes that the verdant shades are timeless classics. The color scheme also includes touches of mustard, brick red and pink. “This is a Northwest-friendly palette. There is a lot of gray in Seattle, so it’s nice to walk into a space and feel the warmth and depth of the colors,” she says. “The balance of saturation and tones gives the home a comfortable and inviting feeling.” To furnish the home for the new family, LeClercq sourced items that reflect the timelessness and collected nature of the architecture. “I call this project the ‘eclectic classic,’ ” she says. “It’s eclectic in its layers and how styles are combined, but ultimately it’s classic as I don’t see these things as being trendy or ever going out of style. It’s a combination of vintage items, new elements and textures.” The blend creates a house with an enduring appeal that belies its age. “When people visit, they are always surprised this is new construction and not a remodel,” says the homeowner. Since LeClercq’s goal was to create a home for the ages, she takes that as a high compliment, noting: “The residences in Washington Park were built to last—that’s how they did it then, and that’s how I do it now.”

For the great room’s dining area, LeClercq chose a Wolf Wood Co table, chairs by Nickey Kehoe and Aerin for Visual Comfort chandeliers from Circa Lighting. The living area is appointed with a Jayson Home lounge chair and sofa, a Cisco Home ottoman and a vintage Eames chair. Grounding the arrangements are carpets from Driscoll Robbins Fine Carpets.

For a child’s bedroom, LeClercq envisioned a magical and comforting space. “For children,” she says, “I choose elements that can grow with them. Nothing should feel too young or too old but rather timeless and thoughtful.” To that end, she opted for a whimsical Fôret noire wallpaper by Nathalie Lété and a built-in bed painted in Benjamin Moore’s Picnic Basket—complete with space for books.
