Healthy Planet. Healthy People. Healthy Lifestyles. 2022 IS THE YEAR OF THE HEALTHY KITCHEN. In many ways, true wellness begins in the kitchen. It is where we give our body the nutrition it needs, where we spend time bonding with loved ones over culinary projects, where we learn recipes and engage our most creative selves in the process. And at the heart of this high-performance heart of the home is its appliance suite. That’s where Beko comes in. A global appliance manufacturer with a product presence in 400 million homes in 140 countries, Beko is driven by a three-fold commitment to helping people be well through the production of appliances that promote health. The brand also believes that healthy people are only possible on a healthy planet, so it employs a zero-carbon manufacturing process. Its products are full of eco-friendly innovations and continually achieve ENERGY STAR certifications.

Beko’s EverFresh+ system with Active Fresh Blue Light prevents food waste, keeping fruits and vegetables crisp for up to 30 days and locking in nutrients. In 2022, Beko is taking it all a step further. It introduces the Healthy Kitchen Council, which comprises leading kitchen and home designers, nutritionists, dietitians and other health and wellness experts who will help the brand shape the concept of the ultimate healthy kitchen. As part of the initiative, Beko will present 22 new cooking, cooling and cleaning products equipped with proprietary technologies and features to empower Americans to lead healthier, more sustainable lives.

Doling Out Wellness

In partnership with Dole Food Company, one of the largest fresh fruit and vegetable providers in the world, Beko is working to bring healthier food to more tables. Together, the two companies will support hunger-relief and child nutrition charities that are striving to end hunger and encourage healthier living across the United States.

This issue of Luxe is essentially a love letter to the people who make design happen. In addition to our annual GOLD LIST, which recognizes talents from across the country who have had their projects featured in our pages the past year, we celebrate creative originators and innovators: a community and collective of people who are grounded in their craft and dedicated to pushing design forward. We thank all of you for imagining and enriching the homes we live in. As the rhythms of daily life begin to return, and the pandemic recedes into the rear view, I am hopeful that the meaningfulness of home, and the people who reimagine the spaces of our everyday life, will remain in our hearts and minds.

Luxe celebrates people in design, including interior designers Rayman Boozer (above), Martyn Lawrence Bullard (middle) and Young Huh (right).

THREE DESIGNERS REFLECT ON AN INDELIBLE SPARK.

Martyn Lawrence Bullard

AS TOLD TO MICHELLE BRUNNER

When I was 12 years old, I began my career selling antiques from a stall in London’s Greenwich Market. It was the 1980s then, and Art Deco was the height of fashion. It was one of the first design periods that I studied, and from that, my passion grew. Because I came from a theatrical background—originally, I wanted to be an actor—it’s only natural that I would be drawn to a style so closely associated with Hollywood glamour. With the advent of cinema, Los Angeles boomed during the 1920s and 1930s, and extraordinary spaces, like the Cicada Club in downtown L.A. and the historic Sunset Tower hotel, were built. For me, the appeal of Art Deco lies in its association with decadence. The world had just come out of World War I, and there was reason to celebrate. People wanted drama and floridity. We left behind the Edwardian and Arts-and-Crafts periods, and turned almost instantly to this brand-new era symbolized by ornate geometric forms. Of all the Art Deco styles, I’m particularly fond of Egyptian Revival. It conjures the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, and with that, an air of adventure, travel and romance. In my work and in my own home, many Orientalist and Moroccan motifs blend with the geometric vibe and monochromatic palette of Art Deco. Recently, I drew inspiration from the period to inform a collection of inlaid stone and lacquer accessories for SV Casa. We did a series of beautiful cases that open into bars, inspired by Hermès and Louis Vuitton steamer trunks from the 1930s. They recall one of the first Art Deco pieces I ever bought: a 1920s alligator case, which makes me long for the time when travel was new. In those days, people used silver- and-gold jars in sleek cases for toiletries. We used to travel in such style! I’ve kept it with me throughout my journeys. It’s a great nod to my past, both in my dealing in objects of that era and my love of Art Deco itself. Martyn Lawrence Bullard on the steps leading to the pool and gardens of his Los Angeles home. The graphic patio tile nods to Art Deco geometrics.

Young Huh

A S T O L D T O G R AC E B E U L E Y H U N T

RADAR

I was born in Seoul, South Korea, but moved to Michigan when I was three. Most of my ideas about my home country came from my parents, who were passionate about collecting and preserving Korean art. One of my favorite early memories was flying to New York City with my mother. She was shopping for a scholar screen— an artwork meant to decorate the study of a Yangban (a scholar of the highest class). They depict items a Yangban might exhibit to show his refinement: books, a peony, ink brushes. My mother was also searching for folk art—colorful, informal paintings, often with suggestive subject matter. I learned then that there were two schools of Korean art: the school based on courtly formalities, and the folk art hung in the homes of merchants or shamans. Adolescent me became fascinated with folk art. Rabbits smoking pipes! Mountains in every color under the sun! The rainbow hanbok of young girls! To me, these visions were the heartbeat of traditional Korean art—and today, they inspire every inch of my design aesthetic.

Some people think decorating is about picking pretty fabrics, but it is rooted in soils far deeper than that. As I design this home, I think of all the people who have lived here over the last two centuries, my family tree that dates back 700 years, and my children who will carry the future— and who, I hope, will tell everyone’s story. Young Huh in her Manhattan office, framed by inspiration images and wallpaper samples. The large pink swatch is a custom, in-the-works concept for her country house.

Last year, I purchased a home in New York’s Hudson Valley: a classic Colonial in the most idyllic countryside setting. As I dreamt of how to decorate, my thoughts turned to my heritage. One project I’m working on is designing a wallpaper with Fromental, inspired by the papers out of East Asia, which were traded in the New World in the 17th century. I’ll be incorporating both the structure of courtly paintings and the brightness of folk art, all presented in a modern way.

Fashioning a Narrative

TOLD

Rayman Boozer

AS TOLD TO STEPHANIE HUNT

RADAR

Ever since I was a child on a farm in Indiana, fashion has been my obsession. I was the middle child of nine—the Jan Brady of our family, and sort of invisible. After seeing The Mary Tyler Moore Show, my dream became to live in a city in an apartment. At age 8, I made a pact that I would one day move to New York and do glamorous things with my life. We didn’t have a ton of money, but my mother had amazing style. She made a lot of our clothes—think: red-white-and-blue bell bottoms with matching shirts. Even at age 5, I was picky about what colors I wanted to wear, and I hated being dressed like my brothers—I wanted control! Growing up, I fell in love with magazines. I’d go down to the local newsstand and pour over Vogue and GQ. One day, a handful of subscription cards fell out, and I noticed the “bill me later” part. I asked the shopkeeper if I could have them, filled them out, and for three months, I built a library. In high school, my parents let me get subscriptions—but I held onto those issues and read them over and over.

A lot of people see fashion as trivial, but I believe that it’s a nonverbal way of communicating with like-minded people. Especially in Manhattan, you’re always presenting yourself to the public in some way. For me, fashion is armor. It’s a silent means of declaring who you are. Rayman Boozer stands at the threshold of his Manhattan closet wearing a Prada sweater and slacks (his favorite fashion house) and Tods loafers.

When I went to college, I declared a fashion design major before finding interiors. What I am is a strong fashion editor—I’m good at pairing things together in interesting ways: colors, textures, attitudes—and a mix of high-low. My velvet Gucci blazer with a Uniqlo sweater; a leather Prada trench coat with my favorite Scotch and Soda jeans. Fashion also feeds my approach to color—you see daring combinations on the runway before the home. This, in part, is what keeps my interiors optimistic and open-minded.

Provence

Happy place: About 7 years ago, I rented a 300-year-old house outside of Avignon with my family—and it was kind of an epiphany. We’d spend mornings by the pool, then drive through the Rhône and visit towns, like Roussillon, which has this incredible sandstone, terra-cotta and ochre palette. Only fitting: Provence has a similar climate to Los Angeles, and the building materials—stucco, painted wood windows and shutters, tiled roofs—are essentially the same as Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, a primary vernacular of Southern California. Dream delivered: From the minute you walk in the front gate, you’re in this other world of pea gravel, olive trees and lavender. You enter the house through a pair of French doors, and it’s all very open and transparent. To me, it’s transportive emotionally. The clients, the design team and I were all so taken with the authenticity of the Provençal lifestyle; we tried to capture it’s relaxed, casual elegance in this home. willigerarchitect.com

Rockefeller Center

RADAR

Designer Bill Musso found inspiration for his Atlanta condo in a beloved landmark’s Art Deco mystique.

main photo: getty. inset: lauren rubinstein.

Early influence: My grandmother was enamored with Radio City Music Hall. Whenever she had the opportunity, she would take me to see a live show or a movie. We’d spend time walking around Rockefeller Center, and she would point out all of the friezes and statues. Aha moment: Four years ago, I did the 30 Rock tour. I wasn’t so interested in the TV aspect, but in wandering the halls and common spaces and taking pictures! Ode to Deco: The marble floor in my entry was inspired by an elevator waiting area at 30 Rock; I worked with The Rug Company on a runner that’s literally an adaptation of the carpeting in Radio City Music Hall; and my interior doors have the same Art Deco-influenced, raised panel design. Balancing act: Inspiration is all about knowing when to peel back. Like Coco Chanel famously advised: stand in front of the mirror and remove one item. I’d never want to feel like I’m living in a time capsule (as much as I love wearing a smoking jacket). mussodesigngroup.com

A Vintage Photograph

Unexpected idea: This photo of Sonny Bono and former Mayor Frank Bogert was the first inspiration image we showed our client. We overlaid it with a pink filter to tease out the magical light that happens at sunset in Palm Springs. There’s a rugged romance—a laid-back, masculine mood to it—that sung to us. Desert journey: There’s no front yard or backyard, per se. You enter through a portal in the Ficus, then move through these different sequences that are always changing: a fire pit surrounded by muhly grass, a palo Verde grove, an olive tree dining orchard. It speaks to this notion of traveling on horseback through an ephemeral landscape. Message received: For this project, we “borrowed” palm trees from the neighbors’ yards—and the San Jacinto mountains peaking above the hedges. At sunset, with the pink grasses in full bloom, the image of the cowboys and the palms—that feeling of a total Palm Springs escape—is really what you’re getting. sdisf.com

The English Country House

Mood board: From the first time I saw the property, the story in my mind was that it was a kooky British grandmother’s house that had been passed down to the next generation. It’s a large, new construction home, but the way the rooms were laid out—the intimacy of scale and the classical millwork— suggested history. Hero piece: I’ve always been drawn to tapestries, and here, they provided a strong “old manor house” through line. We hung a large 18thcentury Flemish tapestry in the living room and wallpapered the dining room in a Scalamandré print for a European country house vibe. Homework: I pinned about a billion pictures. Upton House, a Georgian manor in Gloucestershire that we referenced, has this hall with the most perfect minty green, which inspired the shades of celadon throughout. I love historical colors; tertiary tones are so much more interesting. studiohus.com

Sophia Loren

High-octane starlet glamour inspired Samantha Todhunter’s interpretation of an Aspen ski retreat.

main photo: oliver clarke. inset: getty.

Modern muse: Our projects often begin with a sensibility imbued by a person, and in this case, Sophia Loren was one of our initial drivers for the mood and design intent; she’s the very embodiment of la dolce vita. Dramatic details: My clients wanted to transform a pastiche Colorado lodge into a home that was cool, effortless and glamorous; a space that lights up at night for entertaining, but also provides a languishing daytime salon. A core element to our work is always ‘the mix’ and for this dolce vita-driven project, the mix manifests in interesting combinations of textures and weaves. Think: mohair velvets and metallic glazed linens, marble and lacquer, and patinated brass elements. Secret sauce: It can be easy to go over the top, especially when you are going for high-impact design. The art is to know when you have done enough to tell the story. A successful room is all about artful layering drawn from travel, books, nature, art, history—and iconic people. samanthatodhunter.com

For a new home in Point Reyes Station, California, architect Dave Sturm channeled a design icon’s purist approach. Origin story: Our client grew up visiting Mexico and had loved Barragán since childhood. Field work: I was a budding architect when Barragán won the Pritzker Prize, and had been wanting to visit his home for decades. This project prompted my wife and I to spend two weeks in Mexico City. We visited several museums a day, and many Barragán buildings. I immersed myself in his spatial relationships. Good stuff: Barragán had this really limited, yet influential palette; a very high-modern aesthetic. His pink is almost like the national color. Key details: Nothing extraneous; we brought the walls all the way down to the floor—no trim, baseboards or moldings. And we used steel casement-style windows for the cleanest sight lines. Take it back: It’s a reference, not an homage. We were inspired by his simplicity. If Barragán had signed on, I imagine the walls might be pink. butlerarmsden.com

WITH HER LATEST COLLECTION, DESIGNER LORI WEITZNER DELIVERS AN ODE TO CENTRAL PARK. W R I T T E N B Y H E AT H E R C A R N E Y

Imagine wandering through Central Park. Bright pink petals highlight a grid between cobblestones. Intricate moldings and sandstone carvings come into focus on stair railings. At sunset, the city skyline turns from orange to golden to purple to gray. It’s this romantic setting that provided designer Lori Weitzner with hope and refuge during the dark days of the pandemic—while also opening her eyes to patterns, textures and colors hidden in plain sight. “It was a lesson in the idea that you’re so familiar with something that you stop looking,” says the designer. “I began to see everything in a whole new way.” The resulting collection is an ode to Central Park—an exploration of fabrics and wallcoverings that captures the beauty of a city in the midst of rebirth. “I love New York. It’s what keeps my senses alive. You pass a bakery, then you pass litter on the street. It’s all there,” says Weitzner. “Central Park is an oasis to the urban grit.” IPhone in hand, the designer would “click, click, click” on weekly rambles through her sanctuary, then return to her quiet Chelsea design studio where she printed and arranged the photos on a large white table. From there, the creative work would begin—editing, sorting, sketching and playing with colors and materials. Chariot, for example, a soft jacquard linen with subtle damask patterning, evolved from an image she snapped of traditional stonework near Bethesda Fountain. “We painted it in the studio, and then, because we didn’t want such a traditional pattern, we took a sponge

and broke it up with texture so it would feel eroded,” explains Weitzner. Illumination, an embroidered textile, stems from sketches of foliage in the Shakespeare Garden, while Mesmerize, a cut velvet print, takes its cues from the fountain’s stone filigree. With the line complete and her schedule picking up, it might be surprising to hear that the designer still carves out time to walk in the park—but it’s a habit she’s not willing to give up. “The pandemic made me slow down and appreciate the details,” reflects Weitzner. “This collection is about nature, but it’s also about seeing things anew.”

By the 1930s, Eileen Gray was a solidified furniture designer and architect—a rare accomplishment for a woman by early 20th-century standards. Of her many contributions to the modern movement, the Irish-born creative designed the ubiquitous (and replicated) adjustable side table, which she designed specifically for her home dubbed E-1027, shown above, on the French Riviera. Gray set out to build the residence— her first ever—in her late 40s, and it still stands today as a survey of modern design.

Paul R. Williams was the first-ever Black member of the American Institute of Architects. A Los Angeles legend, Williams designed some 2,000 buildings in the area during his career, with A-list clients including Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball. In the 1940s, he was hired for the renovation of the Beverly Hills Hotel, where he also fashioned the famous hand-written logo and iconic pink-and-green color scheme. The hotel’s posh Polo Lounge, shown above, has been a buzzing Hollywood hot spot for decades.

PASSION PROJECT MATTHEW QUINN

What a beautifully layered space! This kitchen is an homage to the owner, whose zeal for art, food and life shines through in the design. When she and her family moved from Mexico to the Atlanta area, they acquired a charming bungalow property and she promptly saved her pennies for 12 years to have her dream “Matthew Quinn” kitchen, as she explained, which was truly the ultimate compliment. Wow. What did she request? Thinking outside of the box was important to the client. She wanted to make the kitchen uniquely her own, which included covering the walls with art, creating plenty of storage for cookbooks and even adding cork flooring that provides comfort when standing and cooking. But it’s really about this funky mix of colors and materials that works so well together. Talk to us about the details. The Amazonia Quartzite screamed “bar area.” The boldly colored veining of the stone is paired with an equally striking blue paint on the cabinetry that creates a vibrant, fun moment. In the kitchen, white-glass countertops and high-gloss Macassar Ebony veneer cabinetry balance out the La Cornue range and brass finishes. Makassar Ebony Veneer Cabinetry, downsviewkitchens.com. Amazonite Stone, abcworldwidestone.com.

STRATEGIC APPROACH “I fell in love with kitchens because of their technicality—I like to focus on the architectural plan first; I’m a big stickler for rectangular and square rooms. From there, we address access points, center lines, location of appliances, storage, circulation, ergonomics and functionality. After nearly 30 years in the business, I can immediately pinpoint what needs to be tweaked, but if the kitchen works well, I know I can make it beautiful.” matthew-quinn.com

KITCHEN

In an Atlanta kitchen by Matthew Quinn, the bar cabinetry is painted in B60G by Fine Paints of Europe. On the previous pages, a La Cornue range and hood sit next to Downsview Kitchens cabinetry with hardware by Matthew Quinn Collection, while an eclectic assortment of art decorates the wall in the dining area, which was designed by Kim Zimmerman.

Christopher Peacock and his design team created custom cabinetry, hardware and paint for this Edwardsville, Illinois, kitchen project; the interior design was by Jessie D. Miller.

CALMING INFLUENCE CHRISTOPHER PEACOCK What was the inspiration for this serene palette? A big, beautiful picture window decorates the kitchen, and we didn’t want the rest of the space to compete with that focal point, so there was a conscious effort to keep the colors more earthy and muted. We went with a two-tone paint effect for the cabinetry: a lovely olive or sage green on the island and then a warmer gray on the perimeter. Walk us through the rest of the design. The scheme was about making it simple and quiet while keeping it spacious. There wasn’t a strong desire to fill the walls with unnecessary cabinetry; rather our focus was on the

materials and finishes. A handmade subway tile with varying shades makes for a beautiful backsplash that provides subtle movement; we avoided anything too shiny and went with brushed and satin nickel hardware. How did you approach scale? This is a very large kitchen with a barreled ceiling. So we grounded the environment with a large island featuring cutting blocks at both ends and a custom pewter-and-nickel metal hood that anchors one wall. The island table developed into a multifunctional element with storage and seating, as well as a place to work, prepare food and entertain.

TOP TAKEAWAY “The key is to be a good listener, have an inquisitive mind and a holistic or all-encompassing approach. If you watch what happens in most people’s kitchens today, it’s not kitchen related. It’s a gathering space, an entertaining space, a quiet space. Sometimes it’s a retreat or a place to relax—it’s all these things. We have to understand how the kitchen is being used because this room has matured into the most important space in the home. It’s critical to get the design right. Trust the people you’re working with—a kitchen renovation is an everlasting project.” peacockhome.com La Jolla Scone, paulferrante.com.

HERITAGE MOMENT SARAH BLANK

This kitchen is in an older home, right? It’s an absolutely stunning Spanish Renaissance residence that was built in the early 1900s along the Hudson River. Unfortunately, the kitchen was in bad shape after a recent update, but I was lucky that the client wanted to go back to its historic character. I am a big believer in taking from the past to create the future and spent a lot of time understanding the original aesthetic of this property.

How does your background inform your designs? I love classical architecture and historic structures—I’ve been a part of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art for a long time. Everything I do now, even after all this time, goes back to the aesthetic of old homes and what they teach us.

LUXESOURCE.COM

Sarah Blank Design Studio chose Farrow & Ball’s Stone Blue for the island in this Irvington, New York, kitchen by Taconic Builders. A BlueStar range, Miele oven and custom hood complete the scheme.

EXPERT TIP “Here’s a trick for anyone embarking on a new kitchen project: Do not clean up when the designer comes over to see how you live. If you tidy up before I arrive, how am I going to know what the problems are? I spend a lot of time talking to clients and asking what they want, but what tells me even more is opening all the cabinets and drawers and looking at their inventory and how everything is stored. Once I know what’s behind closed doors, I can design your kitchen! My new book, Classic Kitchens for Modern Living, is certainly a culmination of everything I have learned over the past 40 years!” sarahblankdesignstudio.com

photo: neil landino. book cover: images publishing, march 2022.

Where did you start? Before I did anything, there were several architectural changes that needed to be made, including taking down a wall, reworking a window and altering the ceiling. Then, I began the mission of taking a very narrow kitchen and making it functional. A lot of the elements, such as the metalwork and wood detailing, are inspired by 19th-century European kitchens.

“ A hand-painted, high-gloss cabinetry color was customized around the wallcovering in this Short Hills, New Jersey, project. We always ask and try to push our clients to do something a little more unexpected in smaller spaces. The outcome was beautiful.”

“The client had an impressive collection of vintage glassware and entertained a lot, so from the very beginning of our conversation we knew the bar would be an important component. The homeowner was drawn to the vibrant color and stone elements. The resulting happy mix is truly a reflection of her.” –MATTHEW QUINN

CELEBRATING 75 YEARS

For 75 years, the Century family has been making furniture of impeccable quality and exceptional beauty utilizing passionate craftspeople in Hickory, North Carolina.

centuryfurniture.com/75

JEAN LIN, COLONY In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, then-design journalist Jean Lin sparked an idea: invite local New York City artists to craft works from debris for storm relief. In the process, Lin grew familiar with the growth and representation struggles faced by independent makers—and the idea for a new, community-driven gallery model was born. Where the industry-standard commission hovers around 50 percent, Colony takes a smaller fraction of each sale, and charges a stabilized monthly co-op fee. Their contract also includes a non-exclusivity clause, which “shows our true intention of putting the bottom line of the designers we rep before our own,” says Lin. Expanding its influence and capital, Colony has since launched an in-house consultancy offering marketing, art direction and interior design services. “The vision moving forward is that these branches of business scale in tandem,” says Lin. “Which goes back to Colony’s founding spirit and genuine belief that all ships rise with the tide.” goodcolony.com

THE INNOVATOR

“I don’t love the word ‘disruption,’ but I am passionate about asking the question, ‘how can we make people’s lives easier?’ And I think the answer to that lies in meeting them where they are,” shares Anderson Somerselle. For Somerselle, a veteran of the textiles industry, this passion manifested in a digital-first showroom designed to aggregate boutique lines—as well as their up-to-date stock numbers and samples—in one destination. “It’s an honest response to witnessing how many designers and clients start their inspiration process online,” he notes. With the lower overhead associated with a digital footprint, Somerselle also provides a more affordable representation avenue for smaller brands. “It made sense to bring together these amazing artisans in a virtual showroom first, because there’s more reach,” he explains. “Eventually, we’ll open a physical space, but that will be a totally different experience. I want people to say, ‘Wow! I want to live here.’ ” somerselle.com

THE RECONCEIVERS NOAM DVIR AND DANIEL RAUCHWERGER, BOND

In a past life, Noam Dvir and Daniel Rauchwerger worked as critics at the Israeli newspaper Haaretz before falling in love, heading west to earn their masters at Harvard and founding BoND, a holistic architecture and design firm focused on expanding traditional ideologies of home. “In the residential environment, there’s this mold of how a space should be organized—but design for non-nuclear families looks different,” explains Dvir, pointing to the themes of gathering and desire that often distinguish their work. “Design should explore many different identities and lifestyles, and we really wear that on our sleeves.” With a fast-expanding residential practice, the couple has their sights set on more cultural projects in the commercial space. (They recently designed Company Gallery, a leading queer art institution, and are fast at work on a trans-led after-hours nightclub.) “It’s very important to us to work on projects that people will have access to, and that feed us spiritually,” says Rauchwerger, adding, “the real fun comes in sharing.” bureaund.com

ZOE FELDMAN, ZOE FELDMAN DESIGN

“I truly don’t know a lot about sustainability—and that’s kind of the point!” demurs Zoe Feldman. For the Washington, D.C.-based designer, the birth of her daughter in 2018 collided with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s devastating special report on global warming, spurring her to evaluate her own role in the climate crisis.

THE ACTIVIST

upon discovering that planting a tree only costs 5 cents— she designed a green pledge as a core pillar of her business. Aptly named Our Beautiful Planet, the framework includes donating her consultation fee to an environmental charity (then matching it upon contract signing), planting 100 trees for every approved design proposal (offsetting its carbon footprint), and a commitment to sourcing 80 percent vintage. Feldman hopes to turn this working template into a movement that designers can adapt to suit their practice. “These are easy things to implement,” she says. “We’re trying to show the industry that we can all take very small, simple steps and potentially, make a massive impact.” zoefeldmandesign.com

THE STORYTELLERS HOMAN RAJAI AND ELENA DENDIBERIA, STUDIO AHEAD

For Homan Rajai and Elena Dendiberia, design is both a global and local affair. What it is not is siloed around Eurocentrism. Meeting as young designers, the pair, with their respective Iranian and Russian roots, felt similarly disconnected from the world of European antiques they were living in, so they built a new framework. Questions like, What philosophies do you relate to? distinguish their client questionnaire, and Rajai and Dendiberia champion a diverse network of vendors working in traditional crafts. “There’s this assumption that—say, Persian rugs—are in the past tense. We’re educating our clients that there are living, breathing, modern-day craftspeople making these pieces,” says Rajai. At the other end of the spectrum, the firm is devoted to amplifying design at a hyper-local scale—and boasts a fast-expanding production wing of collaborations between Northern California artists. “Think of Alice Waters and what she did with farm-to-table,” says Rajai. “We’re bringing the same idea to design.” studioahead.com

THE BOTANIST JESSICA VIOLA, VIOLA GARDENS

A promise to “seek biological over technical solutions” nests at the core of Jessica Viola’s approach to the garden. Certified in ecological and permaculture design, Viola (one of a handful of licensed female landscape contractors in California) cut her teeth rehabilitating lawns into gardens in the California drought. Those regenerative principles have propelled her business since. Whether sculpting brims in the landscape to better harness rainfall, or planting for erosion control and fire resistance, Viola’s bottom line is embracing the intrinsic characteristics of each property, fostering the age-old relationships between people, flora and fauna amidst a changing climate. In this way, tackling the crisis becomes a creative exercise: “When you’re coming at things from a place of fear, you block what’s possible,” says Viola. “Instead of trying to solve all the world’s problems, I’m facilitating conditions for more awareness—and going one garden at a time.” violagardens.com

Full Circa Cultivated and purposeful, Circa Lighting founder Gale Singer’s Savannah abode springs from years of ideating and a lifetime of collecting. W R I T T E N BY K AT H R Y N R O M E Y N | P H O T O G R A P H Y B Y E M I LY F O L LO W I L L S T Y L I N G BY E L E A N O R R O P E R

Architecture: Rudolph Colby, ColbyDesign Interior Design: Michael Del Piero, Michael Del Piero Good Design Home Builder: Josh Brooks, Brooks Construction Group, LLC

Circa Lighting founder Gale Singer’s highly personalized Savannah home took shape with the aid of residential designer Rudolph Colby and designer Michael Del Piero. In the great room, plush upholstery by Lee Industries forms a tête-à-tête-esque conversation group. Not far from the sliding-glass LaCantina Doors to the terrace, HC28’s walnut-framed Palm Beach armchair pairs with a Holland MacRae Kilt side table.

hen it comes to her list of wants, Gale Singer, founder and president of Circa Lighting, does not waver. She is as discerning about crown molding (pass), vibrant art (irresistible) and window treatments (no, thank you) as she is about pendants, sconces and chandeliers. After about 15 years of pondering, her agenda for her own Savannah home pinpointed everything from a high-functioning kitchen with great traffic flow to pocket glass doors that open to reveal a saltwater pool and sculpted greenery. Once she found a lot she loved in an eclectic, tucked-away neighborhood not far from the Vernon River, all those years of dreaming finally came to fruition. By the time she turned over her inspiration folder to Rudolph Colby—the residential designer behind more than a decade’s worth of Circa Lighting stores—Gale felt confident he was the person to bring her vision to life. “Rudy is an artist,” she says of Colby, who, working with general contractor Josh Brooks, also orchestrated the home’s landscaping and pool. “He has a wonderful sense of style, detail and proportion. His designs are classic and timeless.” Gale is a hands-on client. “The most fun we have, ever, is when we sit down together, spread out a piece of paper and each pick up a pencil,” Colby says of their tactile process. Having initially conceived of an on-site renovation that ultimately had to be scrapped due to water damage beneath the property’s existing house, the residential designer’s “take two,” as he calls it, followed the original home’s layout quite closely. What transpired was a practice in extreme simplification, subtracting everything extra. “Any time there was a line or shadow that could be removed from a window or door or piece of hardware, she would nix it,” Colby says of his client, who dictated the project’s concealed door hinges and nearly invisible reveals. “There’s nothing trendy about it,” Gale adds of the residence, which cleverly combines modernleaning and ranch-inspired influences behind a façade of slender white Norman brick and horizontal board-and-batten siding. Though her linear, tightly landscaped home might diverge from the typical Lowcountry vernacular, it’s connected to the fabric of the city in a manner very personal to its owner: fine art. “I’m lucky

to live in a place with such close access to the Savannah College of Art & Design and all the wonderful artists that have come out of that university,” says Gale, an ardent collector. Her expansive art assortment comes to life thanks to sizable skylights—Colby’s solution for illuminating the east-west-oriented house from the inside out. “You get direct sun at different times of the year, and it’s really quite fabulous,” Colby reveals. As a lover of natural light, Gale eschewed window treatments in most rooms, adding extra layers by way of Circa Lighting fixtures. However, her selections were not chosen for dramatic impact, rather for subtlety. Most had remained stalwarts on her personal wish list for years—particularly a pair of Thomas O’Brienauthored pendants named in her honor, which today suspend over her kitchen island. To ensure interiors that would incorporate all of these items masterfully, the discriminating homeowner looked to Michael Del Piero, a designer whom Gale praises for her “neutral palettes, and ability to layer textures and to curate objects.” Del Piero, who had previously designed Gale’s Chicago loft, has long felt a sense of aesthetic alignment with her client. “What Gale wanted is what my firm is known for: livable, approachable and interesting interiors with nothing too precious or fussy,” she notes. Decorating decisions between the two were uncommonly swift, with most made on a single trip to High Point Market. “For three days, in the pouring rain, we literally furnished the entire house, inside and out,” Del Piero recalls. Together, the pair selected deep sofas with simple lines, intriguing Louise Nevelson-esque nightstands, even an oak dining table to sub as an oversize desk in the grass cloth-clad home office. “Gale is super no-frills; she wants the best but she wants it simple,” says Del Piero, who finished off spaces with antique rugs to warm up the sleek wood and stone floors. In sum, the lighting maven’s Savannah home demonstrates her strong understanding not only of design, but of herself. No space is wasted, and every element is optimized for the way she wants to live. “She has a really sharp eye,” Colby concludes. “There’s a place for everything and everything has meaning. And I think there’s a strong reason for that: Gale sees things differently.” Certainly, in the case of curating her own home, she’s seen the light.

Right: Colby’s concept for a strategically placed skylight casts a cool glow on the breakfast nook, which Del Piero furnished with the edited combination of classic Eero Saarinen tulip table and Eames plywood dining chairs, both by MillerKnoll. The neutral tones of a Todd Shroeder work on paper, which Del Piero suggested simply pinning directly to the wall, add to the room’s calming aura. Opposite: Slabs of Calacatta Gold marble form a focal point in the kitchen, contrasting the stainless steel vent hood and custom sapele wood cabinetry by J.A.W.S. Enterprises of Georgia. Equipped with a duo of Galley Tap faucets, the hyper-functional space has provided “an opportunity to find my inner chef,” Gale says. Her namesake white-glass pendant, through Circa Lighting, casts a glow upon Room & Board’s Cora counter stools in supple Lecco Pewter leather.

Roberts, Bradford Moody and Tori Tinsley, to name a few—most of which were purchased through Laney Contemporary, Location Gallery or SCAD Art Sales. Opposite: Gale tapped a lighting collaborator, Thomas O’Brien, for standout pieces that furnish her home office. The New York designer’s Farlane Large chandelier—sourced through Circa Lighting—hangs above his Trestle dining table and Thebes stool, both of which he authored for Century Furniture.

Colby specified the slatted-oak ceiling—built by J.A.W.S. Enterprises of Georgia—to filter natural light from the skylight above. Adding to the ambience are two styles of Circa Lighting-sourced sconces, which illuminate countertops of Copacabana granite Del Piero procured from Creative Stone. Opposite: The guest bedroom feels especially hospitable thanks to Gale and Del Piero’s joint furnishing selections, a majority of which were made during a three-day shopping spree in High Point. Their finds comprise numerous pieces by Lee Industries, including a bed upholstered in the brand’s spirited Brahms cotton-wool. A rustic Tenango bench subs as a nightstand atop a textural flat-weave from Eliko Rugs.

Outside on the patio, the design team delivered a simple pool with straight lines—a feature grounded by the Versailles-patterned Indiana gray limestone, through Savannah Surfaces, used for both pool deck and coping. Inside the pool is an azure-toned mosaic by Florida Stucco. “The color we chose reminds me of Turks and Caicos,” Gale says. The chaise lounges and seating are by Kingsley Bate, and the midcentury hourglass planters are Willy Guhl originals.

A Swedish couple’s 20-year romance with New York City culminates in an artful Tribeca pied-à-terre.

LONG-DISTANCE LOVE

Interior Design: Jordan Carlyle, Carlyle Designs

am the type of person who gets depressed when I haven’t been to New York in a long while,” shares Johan Tjärnberg. With such a predisposition, it’s no wonder that Johan and his wife, Anneli, dreamt for years of owning a Manhattan abode of their own. Full-time Stockholm residents, the Tjärnberg’s historically made thrice annual New York City visits, even tying the knot at a Swedish church in Midtown on a bluebird September day, allowing them to introduce the city to their children and extended family. But it wasn’t until finding a listing for a posh two-bedroom jewel box with 16-foot ceilings and classical moldings in a landmarked 1893 midrise that the dream became a reality. After walking through the building’s grand, marble-clad lobby that sang of old New York, they were sold. Impressed with his refined portfolio and upbeat personality, the couple soon hired interior designer Jordan Carlyle, a longtime friend of their broker, to help them make the space their own. While the Tjärnbergs were excited to give Carlyle lots of freedom, it was important that the pied-à-terre feel decidedly modern and cosmopolitan—a distinct contrast to their more traditional Stockholm residence and relaxed, Hamptons-style vacation home in Spain. “They wanted this home to be quintessentially ‘New York,’ and that can be interpreted in many ways,” Carlyle notes. Opting to lean into the classicism of the building and the artistic spirit of the city, he envisioned a sophisticated palette of neutrals accentuated by layers of rich, varied textures. In the living area, for example, a custom silk striped rug anchors a tailored bouclé-covered cream sofa and mohair slingback chairs gathered around a shapely cocktail table with an oxidized metal top. Bouclé stools likewise add coziness to the waterfall-style island and creamy white cabinetry in the open kitchen. But while Carlyle layered textures to “lend dimensions to the design,” he conversely employed a one-note paint scheme to tie the space together. Across every room, the walls, ceilings—and notably, the original moldings—sport the same monochrome ecru hue.

Art also played an important role in Carlyle’s visualization. Commissioned specifically for the space around its paint and fabric swatches, a large-scale abstract painting by Joelle Somero makes the most of a feature wall in the living room. And a series of precisely placed small ceramic sculptures by Syra Gomez cascade around a corner over the sofa. “If I were to choose, I would basically live in a museum with a few pieces of comfortable upholstery,” says Carlyle with a laugh, adding, “not every client wants a gallery-like feel for their living room, so this was exciting.” Meanwhile, in the bedrooms, the interior designer focused on creating a sense of intimacy to counter the soaring ceilings. Neutral linen wallcoverings and floor-to-ceiling draperies “add a warm, inviting mood,” he explains. In the primary suite, a large-scale abstract painting by Struan Teague over the bed helps to fill the lofty walls and a tall angular upholstered headboard reminiscent of an urban skyline plays a similar role in the guest quarters. Soaring ceilings aside, the floor plan itself was an exercise in evoking grandness. Case in point: the kitchen-adjacent dining area, where, refusing to bow to the space’s diminutive dimensions, the designer nestled a custom-sized round marble dining table surrounded by upholstered armchairs. “When you’re challenged with a smaller space, the key is to not do smaller pieces of furniture,” he explains. When the last piece of furniture was finally in place and the time came for the big reveal, Carlyle outfitted the apartment with everything from bed linens to coffee pods. He then lit candles and queued up soft jazz from the new state-of-the-art sound system before walking Johan through his new home. Comparing the joy and excitement of that experience to Christmas morning, Johan recreated the same ambience when his wife and children arrived in town just a few days later. It’s a feeling with staying power for the Tjärnbergs, who look forward to future family vacations and romantic getaways alike in their so-desired apartment—and most of all, to banishing those missing-the-city blues for good.

In a Tribeca apartment designed by Jordan Carlyle, Phillip Jeffries’ textural Cloudy Comfort wallcovering fosters serenity in a considered corner, complementing a bespoke chest of drawers from Carlyle Collective, the interior designer’s digital boutique, underneath a large, blackened mirror by Jenny Nordberg.

Opposite: Steel bar stools with bouclé-covered seats by Powell & Bonnell add to the heady array of textures in the open kitchen, joining a waterfall island of Calacatta Vagli. Carlyle painted the ceiling recess Benjamin Moore’s Winter Gates for a cozy contrast. The sculpture is by James Oughtibridge.

utting and pasting paper may seem like child’s play, but in the hands of Denise Fiedler, it is elevated to an art form. “Collage has so many possibilities,” says the San Francisco artist. “I love that there is no technique to master. It’s purely creative. You can go in so many different directions.” Fiedler’s work showcases the varied paths of the medium. It can depict everything from animals fashioned from slivers of paper layered to look like fur, to brilliantly colored botanicals with sinuous vines. Some custom pieces are crafted from personal mementos, like a tree made from a couple’s favorite books and maps of their travels. Other commissions have been for household names like Pottery Barn, Benetton and the U.S. Postal Service. “I thrive on variety,” notes the artist. Trained as an interior designer, Fiedler first experimented with collage in the mid-1990s when she was working in the textile industry and the department store Marshall Field & Company commissioned her to make store displays. She started working in felt, but made the transition to paper when she opened a box of items she’d collected at flea markets— vintage books, maps, math flashcards—and thought, “What am I going to do with these?” Fiedler’s early collages consist mostly of those faded pages, giving pieces a sepia-tinted look, but now her work is filled with vibrant colors that she paints on paper before cutting. “Sometimes I’ll set aside a whole day just to mix colors,” she says. “It’s like being in a lab.” Her floral collages, a series inspired by her daily walks, illustrate her knack for color. Working from her Russian Hill studio, she cuts each piece of paper freehand using a trusty pair of Japanese scissors that she keeps in four different sizes. “Like chefs have certain knives they like to use, I can’t part with these scissors,” she says. She intuitively cuts the deep purple dahlias, scarlet geraniums, pink roses, chartreuse leaves and blue forget-me-nots, then arranges them “like a puzzle” on the page until “it feels right,” she says. It’s fitting artwork for Fiedler’s new studio and gallery, which was once a floral design shop. The Dutch door is often open, inviting the public to browse her work and that of other artists, but metaphorical portals have swung wide as well. “The space has become a part of my work,” she explains. “It fosters creativity and has become a tremendous inspiration—it’s literally opened the door for bigger things.”

In Denise Fiedler’s gallery and studio, art, tools and vintage finds fill the shelves (below and previous page, left). Seen here at a worktable, the artist says her space is a source of creativity (previous page, right). Boards carry images selected to inspire (opposite), and collage art depicting geraniums decorates another part of the studio (bottom). Fiedler’s most prized tools are her sharp scissors (left).

Museum-worthy art and furnishings come to life in this modernist Arizona home.

State of the Art

Architecture: Nick Tsontakis, Tsontakis Architecture, Aaron Forbes, DLR Group and Jörg Berghäuser, InstantConcept Interior Design: Lynne Beyer, Lynne Beyer Design Home Builder: Dimitri Haniotis, Catalyst Ventures

Inspired by their collection of contemporary art and design, homeowners Dimitri and Suzanne Haniotis worked with interior designer Lynne Beyer and architects Nick Tsontakis, Aaron Forbes and Jörg Berghäuser to create their sleek Paradise Valley oasis. The home’s modern statement begins with exterior metal cladding installed by Charly’s Roofing that becomes “a different color in the morning and at sunset,” notes Suzanne. “It can range from brown to green, to almost a warm gold tone.”

rt and design have always been a love language for Dimitri and Suzanne Haniotis. Dimitri, after all, proposed to Suzanne by installing a vast wedding band sculpture at their San Francisco penthouse. So when the avid collectors moved to Paradise Valley, they hoped building a new house from scratch would provide a permanent place for their art pieces, many long hidden away in storage. Coalescing these works into a true family home, however, required fresh eyes—so the couple turned to interior designer Lynne Beyer to find cohesion among their beloved art and antiques. Between original Californian Abstract Expressionist paintings and Art Deco and midcentury modern furniture, their love for 20thcentury masterworks was immediately clear for Beyer. “That was a big dictator in terms of style,” she explains of her approach to the interiors. The home itself is also a love letter to modern design. As an engineer, Dimitri tapped into his background, constructing the residence in collaboration with a team of architects. The final structure became an ode to Suzanne’s adoration of architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe—particularly his marriage of stone, steel and glass for the iconic Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin. Conceptualized by architect Nick Tsontakis with contributions by German architect Jörg Berghäuser, the lean dwelling is nestled into Camelback Mountain and cloaked in galvanized metal. “It’s almost like a stealth home,” muses Tsontakis of the design, which “depresses the house as much as possible against the land.” A ribbon of uninterrupted glass snakes around the north side facing Paradise Valley, “so when you look out the windows, you see this gorgeous mountain outside that’s been there forever,” says Dimitri. “The house doesn’t restrict you. The eye just travels.” The surrounding golden landscape seeps into the open-concept interior fleshed out by architect Aaron Forbes, who brought in warm woods and ornate stonework like the book-matched Brazilian marble slabs in the living room, which the team framed like a painting. In the entrance atrium, he configured towering articulated walls, their geometric angles casting shadows echoing the terrain outside. “We abstracted the mountain and let the force and weight of it come into the house,” explains Forbes.

Working with the striking backdrop, Beyer curated the couple’s pieces in response to the architecture. She embraced the conservatory’s expansive scale head on, composing a dramatic black-and-white palette. “It really is so rare to walk into a residence where a room sets such a tone,” says Beyer. “So it needed to feel like a little museum, where you sit and look at amazing individual pieces.” The space became a stage for the couple’s most theatrical items, like their starcrowned Pierre Chareau reproduction floor lamps and six-legged John Dickinson African table reproduced by Sutherland. Peeking through the front door, their whimsical Donald Duck painting by artist Mel Hanson greets guests, hinting at the couple’s tongue-in-cheek humor. The designer cultivated more intimate spaces in the main living areas by carefully editing down their furniture, giving breathing room for some of their familiar pieces. “They are totally unique items that needed to be honored and put in their best place,” says Beyer. In the main seating areas, she mixed in a few contemporary acquisitions with treasured Art Deco-style pieces like their Pierre Chareau reproduction coffee table. In this fresh context, these pieces feel more modern than ever, reviving the aesthetic revolutionary zeal they represented when they were first designed a century ago. Color also proved key, as the designer punctuated the interiors with lush hues that were “very much driven by the art, by what I saw as their love of saturation of color,” she says. Touches of red and fuchsia upholstery, for example, pull from the rich jewel tones of the couple’s treasured Joan Brown painting hanging in the living room. Beyer also incorporated handmade, custom area rugs throughout the dwelling. Layered with refined patterns and textures, the rugs became “like a fabulous piece of art on the floor,” she notes. Seeing these items, old and new, occupy pride of place in their home marks a full circle for the couple and their life together. This includes their wedding ring sculpture, which now lives on the pool terrace, striking a geometric counterpoint to the cantilever overhang and linear infinity pool. “Lynne was so marvelous and accommodating to work with the existing pieces we had,” says Suzanne. “We had collected over time all these pieces that were submerged and buried. She truly respected them and found a place for them all.”

In the main living area, Beyer incorporated striking pieces from the owners’ collection, like a faithful Pierre Chareau reproduction coffee table, twin midcentury swivel chairs with stainless-steel backs and a dramatic Knoll midcentury lounge chair reupholstered in fuchsia velvet to echo the jewel tones of the couple’s beloved Joan Brown painting, Girls in the Surf with Moon Casting a Shadow.

Above: Forbes incorporated stonework throughout the interior, like the book-matched Brazilian Sandalus quartzite in the bar area. Installed in a frame, the stone’s natural forms “just became this piece of art,” notes Forbes. Inspired by its organic beauty, he also designed the custom bar counter, which the architect describes as “this kind of sculpture that grew out from the wall.” Opposite: Imagined as a gallery space, the black-and-white conservatory features some of the home’s most whimsical pieces, including a Louis XV-style armchair completely dipped in a polymer, a six-legged African table from Sutherland’s John Dickinson collection, and two Pierre Chareau reproduction Religieuse floor lamps flanking the piano.

Overlooking the iconic jagged landscape of Camelback Mountain, the dining room strikes a dramatic contrast with bold, geometric pieces like the Kintai dining table by Giuliano and Gabriele Cappelletti for Emmemobili and streamlined chairs upholstered by Allaire, Inc. The designer defined the space with a hand-knotted David E. Adler rug.

Opposite: Upon entry, guests are immediately greeted by a playful Donald Duck painting by artist Mel Hanson—which “totally informs you of the clients’ sense of humor and fun,” says Beyer— and two reproduced Pierre Chareau stools.

Meanwhile, the hyper-realistic painting Untitled Eye by artist Matt Doust captivates from above the bed.
