YOU CAN’T KEEP A GREAT CITY DOWN Ne w Yo rk, He re fo r Yo u . Despite the prognosis during the worst of the pandemic, the real estate market in Manhattan has had a quick recovery, with pending sales currently at a record high. What this means if you are considering selling a property in Manhattan is that it is a seller’s market for apartments and townhouses that are properly priced for a value-driven environment. What this means if you are considering buying a property in Manhattan is that prices are trending up, but have probably not yet peaked. Whatever your real estate goals, this is a good time to buy or sell in New York.

LETTER EDITOR’S

In my happy place; sitting in designer Brittany Bromley’s chic room for Kips Bay Palm Beach.

There’s a lively dialogue in the design world of late centered around the notion of “original” design and copying. I prefer to tweak the adjective to “genuine,” since everything is ultimately derivative. What is original, after all? Two great creatives of the world, Steve Jobs and Pablo Picasso both are quoted as saying, “Good artists copy, great artists steal.” Hmm. What they really mean is: be influenced by an idea that inspires you, turn it on its head and make it into something entirely different. Don’t imitate...create.

Here’s what I know about design as an editor who lives it every day. There is an abundance of riches to be inspired by if you’re curious, open to observation and educating yourself about design history. There are artists, creatives and makers across the country who turn out interesting work developed with integrity. Seek them out and support them, dear reader, for they drive design and “originality,” pushing everything to be ever more captivating, compelling and joyful. As design should be.

SHELF LIFE Cordoned off by barricades and construction cones, a riotous arrangement of sunflowers, cattails and lavender sprouts from a sunken gravel pit on West 14th Street. A cacophony of sweet peas, carnations, chrysanthemums and English garden roses cascades from a trash can. These improvisational expressions— dubbed “flower flashes”—are the creation of New York City event and floral designer Lewis Miller. Recycling flowers from his events, the idea was born of a desire to reengage with his own creativity and share the beauty of bouquets previously sequestered inside ballrooms and brownstones. “Turning my craft on its head has allowed me to share my infatuation with flowers with my fellow New Yorkers,” writes Miller in Flower Flash (Monacelli, October 2021), his new book chronicling these random acts of beauty. monacellipress.com

Danish luxury audio brand Bang & Olufsen planted its flag in SoHo inside a centuryold cast-iron building with the help of New York’s TPG Architecture and Japanese design studio Simplicity. With a minimalist Scandinavian aesthetic, the showroom was engineered with magnetic track lighting, imported German wood flooring, exposed brick and sawtooth walls, making use of circular pedestal fixtures and wing walls to display the brand’s headphones and speakers. “We created a fresh, cutting-edge store that still honors the surrounding neighborhood,” says Brian Critzman, TPG’s retail director and managing associate. Plus, a residential-inspired listening room provides an acoustically designed immersive experience. bang-olufsen.com

NEW BEGINNINGS DAVID DUNCAN STUDIO

Share one of your great finds as an antiques dealer. A large, elaborate Chinese Chippendale mirror, which I sold to Tommy and Dee Hilfiger. Later, I discovered it had been photographed by Slim Aarons in his iconic book, A Wonderful Time. It seemed like kismet that it now belonged to Tommy and Dee. Why the pivot to furniture maker? I will always love antiques, but I felt that I needed to evolve. Technology and modern production methods have enabled us to make pieces that we couldn’t have created before. Which pieces are you most excited about? In addition to coffee tables and faux-bamboo light fixtures, we’re using modern technology, like 3D printing and computer-aided design, along with artisanal methods, like mold-making, casting and metal fabrication, to create lamps with brilliant colored resin in unique, distinctive shapes. How did your longtime antiques customers respond? We continue to be surprised and delighted by the number of clients who have reconnected and embraced our new direction. The transition has been gradual since we’ve produced custom lighting and furniture for many years.

“Everything is designed with one guiding principle: you are there to experience nature,” says Nolan McHugh, one half of the duo behind Piaule Catskill, an upstate retreat of 24 modernist cabins on 50 acres facing the Catskill Mountains. McHugh and Trevor Briggs are the New York City creatives behind the cult homewares brand of the same name, and they’ve outfitted their resort with Piaule furniture and accessories alongside pieces by local craftspeople. Guests arrive to a glass, steel and cedar-clad main house hosting the restaurant and bar, while the spa lies below, carved into the hillside. “In the Hudson Valley, we saw the need for a hospitality experience that blended design, architecture and nature,” says Briggs. piaule.com NEW BEGINNINGS PHOTOS: PORTRAIT, BRITTANY AMBRIDGE.

THE BELNORD X ANNA KARLIN Beyond the grand limestone façade of the Upper West Side’s turn-of-the-century Belnord—newly restored by architect Robert A.M. Stern—interior designer Anna Karlin has created a whimsical model residence inspired by the idea of travel. “We always had the phrase that pieces must look as though they had to be chosen by ‘a well-traveled eye,’ ” says Karlin. In a palette of blush and cream, Karlin’s designs are both sculptural and playful with a blend of custom and vintage pieces, including a metal floor-to-ceiling Face Light that she designed. thebelnord.com

MARLOW X NATE BERKUS AND JEREMIAH BRENT Designers Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent teamed up with BKSK Architects on the model unit of the Marlow, a restored, boutique prewar building on the Upper West Side. “There’s a mix of both new and vintage-inspired pieces with a touch of 1970s aesthetic in terms of the clean color palette,” says Brent. With original architectural details, like expressed beams and columns framing the living room, the team also drew upon French influences with a low-slung sofa and chairs by Rouse Home and a moss green chandelier by Obsolete. themarlownyc.com

Drawing inspiration from West Chelsea’s maritime heritage, the sculptural façade—a modern interpretation on the bay window—wraps around the High Line with 181 residences by March and White Design in rich textures, warm woods and marble finishes. “Because the windows are so central to the living space, we wanted to design interiors that were inviting and reflective of the High Line’s energy, but also provided a respite for the resident,” says Elliot March, cofounder of March and White Design. lanternhouse.com

With Central Park as a backdrop, a white support column in the living room crawls with 3D plaster barnacles, a fluffy area rug made of recycled wool and lyocell by Portuguese designer Vanessa Barragao mimics a forest floor, and a pair of Studio Paolo Ferrari chairs are customized with textiles by Hiroko Takeda. centralparktower.com

Folk Spirit A PIONEERING DESIGN BRAND TOASTS FIVE YEARS WITH A TRIBUTE TO ITS BOHEMIAN ROOTS.

Mind the Gap’s Transylvanian Roots collection is a flourish of color, pattern and texture evocative of the region’s rich cultural heritage.

LUXESOURCE.COM

Five years ago, Stefan Ormenisan took a leap when he launched a bespoke wallcoverings line—the first of its kind in his home country of Romania—with his business partner Victor Serban. “This was one of the biggest challenges—convincing people from around the world that we are doing serious things with great taste and beautiful stories,” says Ormenisan. Today, the creative director spends much less time convincing and a lot more time dreaming, as evidenced by the brand’s anniversary collection, Transylvanian Roots—a transportive maximalist assemblage of fabrics, wallpapers and furnishings emblematic of his homeland’s rich Bohemian spirit. “Once an independent country, Transylvania was a melting pot of peoples, cultures and traditions, from Saxons, Hungarians and Romanians to Székelys, Ashkenazi Jews, Armenians and Gypsies,” says Ormenisan, who takes pride in his mixed Romanian, Saxon, Hungarian and Armenian heritage. “When creating these pieces, we drew on the idyllic memories of our childhood summers spent with grandparents in the countryside.” In those traditional homes, embroidered textiles softened wooden furniture while trimmed and tasseled lamps brightened winter nights—themes reflected in the collection’s jubilant cushions, lampshades and wall art. Ornamental and decorative motifs in lush reds, yellows and greens recall vintage patterns and color palettes used by folk artists for hundreds of years, while painterly botanicals reference Central Asian suzanis and Slavic and Ottoman influences. “I love the diversity in

such a small area—all of the traditions and customs belonging to different cultures that live together to form the authentic heritage of this place,” says the creative director. While Ormenisan believes Transylvanian Roots, with its detailed embroidery and handmade finishes, is equally befitting a rural cottage or city setting, he muses it would shine in a stately Georgian manse in London. “I imagine a large garden with a stylish topiary, a monumental entrance and a sumptuous drawing room with a large-buttoned sofa upholstered in the finest cotton velvet with embroidered and printed fabrics,” envisions the creative director. But for now, Ormenisan will dream a little closer to home. With his business partner, he recently purchased a hunting manor in the Romanian town of Presaca that once belonged to noble Hungarian families—making it the ideal backdrop for the brand’s storybook prints like Erdely, Vixen and Enchanted Woodland. “Surrounded by mystical scenery with smooth hills and vast woodland, when you enter this village, you feel the old history entering your body; a timeless vault,” he explains. “I love how time has stopped here, creating a world full of originality and romance.”

THE EXPERT TAKE ON MURALS. “ We did a huge silhouette of native Oregon plants in a main bedroom. The design bled onto the ceiling and window frames. The result is fantastic.” –STEWART HORNER, PENNY BLACK INTERIORS

When describing the allure of a mural, New York artist Anne Harris calls out their immersive nature saying, “They command an interior, and they engulf a physical space and transport you.” She’s been practicing the art form ever since she first viewed Italian frescoes in person, an experience that was so powerful she describes it as “head spinning.” Harris notes that while wallpaper adds color and pattern to an interior, murals offer something else. “With wallpaper, you have a repeating pattern,” she says. “But with a mural, you have interest that continues around a room, and you can see the intent, the perspective and the hand of the artist.” Painting murals is an ancient art, and they can be found decorating walls throughout the millennia, in places ranging from Egyptian tombs to Pompeiian homes to Indian palaces. But Harris sees the uptick in their recent popularity as a rebellion against “the white-gray-neutral rooms we’ve been living in the last several years.” For some, the word “mural” conjures an image of traditional pastoral settings, but many contemporary muralists embrace an unexpected aesthetic. Take artist JohnPaul Philippe, whose abstract work often contains a series of modern, biomorphic forms. With an architectural approach to his

LUXESOURCE.COM

craft, he pulls inspiration from the spirit of the place where his murals will live. “A lot of my work is an articulation of what is going on around it,” says the artist, who splits his time between New York and Connecticut. He credits his use of color and form to his childhood in Oklahoma, where he had an unofficial apprenticeship with the local billboard painter. “It made me completely unafraid to paint large,” he says. Youthful experiences also influence San Francisco’s Rafael Arana, who began his artistic journey by spraying graffiti on walls around his hometown. Although he is no stranger to classic motifs, his work often has a different flavor—such as a pair of brilliantly hued iguanas that dance across the ceiling of a Presidio Heights mansion. Noting that many of his clients, even those in private residences, are looking for an Instagram-worthy moment, he adds: “Like graffiti, murals are an attention grabber— they stand out and start a conversation.” Arana says it’s that compelling quality that drives demand for his murals—some of which take several weeks of 16-hour days to complete. “A hand-painted mural is customizable and can bring a client’s vision to life,” he says. “It can tell a story the way few other elements can.”

–MARIE FLANIGAN, MARIE FLANIGAN INTERIORS

“ I have a hand-painted Chinese mural in my living room. It constantly draws me into the space.” –ALEX PAPACHRISTIDIS, ALEX PAPACHRISTIDIS INTERIORS

“ We’re doing a large mural in a stairwell because hanging art would be tricky there. Covering the walls in this manner makes it instantly more special.” – J ULIE MASSUCCO KLEINER AND MELISSA WARNER ROTHBLUM, MASSUCCO WARNER

“ Dining rooms and entries are prime locations for dramatic murals—these welcoming and entertaining areas set the stage for the rest of the home.” –KATIE LEEDE, KATIE LEEDE STUDIO

“ Wall treatments can be incredibly impactful in confined spaces, like powder baths, where one is fully enveloped in the artwork.”

Eileen Fisher is a constant source of inspiration. The use of organic linen materials is so casual, all while being tailored and sophisticated. sophisticated Every luxury item should have one foot in the future and traces of the past, like pieces by Hervé Van der Straeten.

I’m often inspired by the detail and shape of furniture— especially from the 18th and 19th centuries— as well as through palettes and patterns used by designers like Madeleine Castaing.

With its French design influence, Morocco is intoxicatingly exotic in its sights, sounds and smells. It masters ambience more than any other country I’ve visited.

Sartorial Sense FASHION DESIGNER CHRISTIAN SIRIANO DELVES INTO THE WORLD OF DECOR. W R I T T E N BY C AT H E R I N E H O N G 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

“I’m not an overthinker,” says designer Christian Siriano when it comes to decorating his Westport, Connecticut, home. “I buy pieces that I like and try them out—that’s the fun part of the design process.”

Last spring, Christian Siriano had only just closed on his new house—a 6,000-squarefoot glass-and-stucco dwelling in Westport, Connecticut—when the country went into lockdown. Instead of using that time to slow down and feather his nest, the Project Runway star immediately shifted into superhero mode, rallying his atelier to sew thousands of masks for health care workers. Then, in the months following, he presented a new ready-towear collection, whipped up Covid red carpet looks for Lizzo, Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga and introduced a bridal line. Perhaps most surprisingly, Siriano announced his entry into the home space, launching an interior design studio and debuting a glamorous collection of geometric Postmodern furniture on 1stdibs—all this before wrapping up season 19 of Project Runway. “Yeah, I’m keeping busy,” laughed Siriano when Luxe checked in on the designer at his home in Connecticut.

You’ve said that if you hadn’t gone into fashion, you might have become an interior designer—and now you have. Did this affection for interiors begin when you were a child in Annapolis, Maryland? My mom was really into interior design and as a kid I always visited antiques shops with her. Even though our house had a sort of nautical, Nantucket feel that’s more traditional than my taste now, I have to say, I still love a beachy, coastal room. What did your room look like? I had a lot of stripes and plaids because I was into the Ralph Lauren look. My walls were a bright cobalt blue and filled with paintings from the flea market. I had a picture of Alicia Silverstone from Clueless up too, which is hilarious because now Alicia and I are close friends. Your furniture collection doesn’t play it safe. Share the inspiration. I made

pieces that I wanted. I think the chairs almost look like little people in dresses. They’re modern and neutral in color, but they have warmth and texture. The million-dollar question: How are you doing all this? Running an interiors firm on top of a fashion company is no easy feat. I have two full-time people working with me on interiors. But I’m literally the most insane multitasker there is. Juggling and taking on different types of projects is what I’ve always done. One of my strengths is that I’m not an overthinker. I make decisions very quickly. What’s your secret for working with clients? Projects can take years in highend interior design. We may be a new interiors firm, but I have dealt with some of the most unbelievable, challenging, famous and insane fashion clients in the world. Believe me, I can deal with an indecisive or difficult personality. That, I’m good at.

A PARTICULAR PARTNERSHIP Kazumi Yoshida, Clarence House

When one door closes, another door opens— or so they say. For longtime Clarence House creative director and visionary artist Kazumi Yoshida that time came in 2019 when, after nearly 40 years at the legendary textile company and several owners in between, Fabricut acquired the brand making Yoshida’s retirement seem inevitable. Yet instead, the creative director was so touched by the enthusiasm of his new employers that he decided to stay on and begin a new chapter. With the Fabricut partnership in place, Yoshida thought the 60 th anniversary of Clarence House would be the perfect opportunity to pay homage to his original collaborator, Robin Roberts, who founded the brand in 1961.

Woven Threads

With Champagne taste and an eye for glamour, Roberts’ atelier quickly became the destination for something unique during the ’60s—gorgeous bolts were coveted by New York society, and the rest of the country soon caught on. As appetite increased for original motifs, Yoshida was hired and his first assignment was to transform an old document from India into a new pattern that eventually became Papiers Japonais, still currently one of the bestselling

Clarence House designs. The dynamic alliance between the two creatives allowed the business to flourish. Today, Yoshida’s 60 th anniversary collection brings to life an opulent time in history that Roberts was particularly fond of: the grand yet bizarre period of the early 18 th century, which the creative director describes as “Oscar Wilde with a twist.” Impressively, Yoshida still paints each design by hand—a rarity in the world of fabrics and wallpapers. clarencehouse.com

FRESH FACE

Sumitra Mattai, Scalamandré Early on, Sumitra Mattai realized that everything around her was designed and created by someone, and she indeed wanted to be that someone. “I always knew I loved textiles, and when I doodled, I doodled in pattern,” says Mattai, now Scalamandré’s senior design director. Growing up in suburban New Jersey with influences from her Guyanese and Indian heritage, Mattai says she couldn’t deny the creative pull. Founded in 1929 by Franco Scalamandré, an Italian immigrant with an engineering background, Scalamandré saw an opportunity for creating silks domestically in lieu of importing them from abroad. Success swiftly followed. From famous estates to the White House to one particular Wes Anderson film, the brand’s designs have made their mark on American culture.

LUXESOURCE.COM

Three years into the role, Mattai is off and running with her natural gift for product design—fashion, fine art and the brand’s archives all inform her ideas. And she has acknowledged that the fabric house means different things to different people, whether it’s a loyal client of 50 years or someone who has recently discovered the company by way of their new partnership with The Inside. As for what’s next, the Sahara collection will debut later this year. Inspired by North Africa, the line boasts large-scale patterns and rich colors. Plus, there’s a new Leaping Cheetah design—a play on the infamous Zebra wallpaper. Surely, this is just the beginning for Mattai. “The magic of seeing something I draw or paint come back as a beautiful design…it never gets old,” she says. scalamandre.com

FORWARD LOOKING Mickey Riad, Fortuny

“We are here for a short amount of time, but Fortuny deserves to be here forever,” observes Mickey Riad, artistic director of the inspirational Italian textile house. With the 100-year anniversary of Fortuny’s Venice factory on the horizon, it’s a time of reflection for the brand. The story begins in the early 1900s when Spanish artist Mariano Fortuny created silk dresses and textiles in Venice. After making a name for himself, the company was lovingly placed in the hands of designer Elsie McNeill Lee in 1949, who, 20 years prior, brought Fortuny to New York’s Madison Avenue and established the brand’s position in the U.S. market. In 1988, Maged Riad bought the company from Lee, and eventually his sons, Mickey and Maury, began working for the new family business. Fast-forward 23 years and Mickey Riad is designing collections and shepherding the brand into the future. But no matter what direction the designs take, Venice, “the fountain of inspiration,” is always at the core. The latest collection, Imago, celebrates not only Venice but its supporting characters— local places and things are woven into the literal and

metaphorical fabric of the company. Barberini (above, top left) is named after the noble Roman family whose Palazzo featured a lush secret garden; the reintroduced Simboli (shown to Riad’s right in portrait above) was used on early notebooks for the brand. The magic is in embracing the originality of Fortuny, while still looking ahead. For the artistic director, the longer he continues at the Italian fabric house, the more relevance he sees in founder Mariano Fortuny, and his lasting influence. fortuny.com

At the Manuel Canovas studio, design director Olivia Deruelle poses with some of her latest designs including Pondicherry and Bengale. Below is the embroidered fabric Ango.

COLLECTED APPROACH Olivia Deruelle, Manuel Canovas

“I am always looking for treasures,” says Olivia Deruelle, design director at Manuel Canovas, of sourcing inspiration for upcoming collections at the famed French fabric house. Growing up in Brittany, a charming region dotting the coast of France, this idea of collecting pieces from nature and the sea was embedded at an early age and continues to be a common theme in her current role. Coincidently, Monsieur Manuel Canovas, who founded his namesake brand in 1963, was also an incredible collector of art, crafts and antiques, and eventually grew the company internationally to encompass fabrics, wallpapers and carpets. It is this collectors’ sensibility, both from the past and present, that has curated beautiful designs that feel at once au courant and incredibly refined. While color continues to be at the heart of the brand, Deruelle focuses on maximalist, narrative-driven patterns; the result is an eclectic mix infused with happiness and joy. It was fitting then for her first collection released this year, that the focus was on French joie de vivre and exploring the modern interpretation of Toile de Jouy fabrics and wallcoverings. Classic Canovas motifs including Bengale and La Musardiere were recolored in vivid hues, and introductions like Pondicherry and Nara have farther flung influences including Japanese architecture and an Indian palace. Finding joy in the process of textile making is important to the design director as she considers Manuel Canovas’ honored heritage and gently steers the company into the future. Whether delving into the archives or working with contemporary artists and her team to develop original patterns, the guiding principle is to stay true to a brand that has created so much happiness and exuberance through the language of fabrics. cowtan.com

GOLDEN AGE LILSE MCKENNA INC.

“I love the challenge of putting together kitchens and baths, and I really interrogate my clients about how they live in these functional rooms,” says New York-based designer Lilse McKenna, who explains that a lot of wasted space can accumulate if the needs and wants of clients are ignored. For a home on the Eastern Shore of Maryland that dates to 1750, investing in the details—everything from the materials and hardware to the finishes and fittings—allowed the renovated kitchen and bath to maintain its historic feel while still embracing a new and elevated scheme. lilsemckenna.com Where did you start? It was very important to the clients that when embarking upon this renovation, we paid homage to the heritage of the home and brought in elements that felt authentic and even patinated. Cue the tongue-and-groove walls, antique ceiling beams, butcher-block style countertop and pine flooring that we dyed instead of stained in keeping with 18th-century ethos. The kitchen island (previous page) is beautiful! We hung the custom Ann-Morris pot rack to make it feel like an older kitchen, but it really grounds the entire space and balances out the massive island. I also like the collected feel of mixing metals; here we used antique copper pots, brass lighting and fittings, and a treated stainless-steel hood. Some may have rules about finishes but I always just go with what feels right in the space. Talk to us about this extra sink (right)? The homeowners cook and entertain constantly and needed two sinks and dishwashers, so we added a prep area with a charming, hammered copper sink and painted cabinetry. This allows for a bit more storage, so things feel less cluttered. Everyone always ends up in the kitchen and I strive to make sure the details here are just as beautiful as in the rest of the house. In a Maryland home by Lilse McKenna, shown here and on previous page, the kitchen features custom cabinetry painted in Farrow & Ball’s Inchyra Blue and Benjamin Moore’s Ivory White. A House of Rohl pot filler sits above a Lacanche range while Hickory Chair stools upholstered in Holly Hunt leather round out the decoration. Waterworks’ copper sink and fittings adorn the prep area. The architectural scheme is by Michael Elfenbein Design.

SEA CHANGE

The primary bathroom follows the same guiding principles as the kitchen. Vaulted ceilings and antique wide-plank flooring throughout connect the spaces. In the water closet, McKenna added paneling painted in Benjamin Moore’s Silken Blue to complement Bennison Fabrics’ showstopping Wheat Flower. To create the feeling of an old historic bedroom that had been converted into a bath, the designer included antique etched hurricanes with custom brass and mahogany backplates.

PERFECT FIT

As much as the designer wanted to fabricate a new vanity for the bath, nothing was turning out quite as well as the 18th-century chest she had found, which fit snuggly into the footprint of the room. She added a marble countertop and backsplash, along with fittings and a sink. The chest’s beautiful original finish was kept as is.

photos: read mckendree/jsba.

WATERED DOWN

An old-fashioned copper Waterworks tub adds to the narrative that this was once a small bedroom original to the home that had been adopted as a bath over time. Placing the piece away from the wall and installing the fittings directly into the floor contributes to the authentic feel.

QUIET REFLECTION

A MANHATTAN DINING ROOM MAKES MAGIC OF ITS INWARD CONFINES.

On Manhattan’s Upper East Side, a classic six apartment had just one dark quality: its courtyard-facing dining room, which called for a thoughtful lighting program. Enter New York and Miami-based designer Elizabeth Bolognino, who, alongside Anderson Kenny Architecture, installed a fresh fenestration, including a matching window connecting to the kitchen to borrow its sunlight. In addition to a 12-headed Gabriel Scott chandelier (“I really wanted it to look like an anthropomorphic jewel;” she says), Bolognino commissioned decorative artist Dean Barger to paint a pale pink lacquered ceiling to mimic the surface of a calm lake. “Any time you bring in reflection, it makes a room feel bigger,” she says, adding, “Any time you can utilize light as art, you should do it.” elizabethbolognino.com

ALL ANGLES A NAPA ENTERTAINING BARN CONDUCTS A GRAND LIGHTING EXPERIMENT.

LUXESOURCE.COM

“The very essence of this project was about exploring the play of light,” shares architect William Duff of the century-old Wine Country hay barn he reconceived. Set amidst his clients’ lush vineyard and impressive modern sculpture gardens, the crisp California sun played muse to Duff’s proposed reincarnation of the outbuilding as an entertaining pavilion with a contemporary spirit. “The first time I walked the existing barn, I was struck by the way sunlight filtered through the gaps in the wood siding and thought that light, and the different ways it can illuminate

space, could be the guiding design theme for the project,” he explains. In turn, the original wood-slatted shell was maintained as a screen to splash abstract patterns across the floor by daylight. By evening, the structure then casts beams across the grounds like a glowing lantern. Joined by two new opposing glass volumes with mirrored walls, and a discreet lighting program, the project perfectly synthesizes how artificial and natural light, along with clever visual illusion, can elevate a humble structure to something extraordinary. wdarch.com

SHINE ON METALLIC WALL TREATMENTS OFFER A DAZZLING WAY TO PLAY WITH LIGHT.

GOLD STANDARD

For designer and entrepreneur Rocky Rochon, solving the problem of how paint color is affected by shifting light sources prompted the birth of The Paint Laboratory, a custom paint company governed by metamerism: the science of light reflection. While all specialty paints are developed to troubleshoot specific design woes, Rochon’s metallic special finishes—available in any Rocky Rochon paint color—aim to brighten even the darkest corners via pearlescent additives designed to refract and create a luminous shimmer. thepaintlaboratory.com

Good things happen when Brooklyn creatives collide. Take Patina Studies, a mesmeric line of wallcoverings from the boutique wallpaper studio Wallpaper Projects in collaboration with design practice Kin & Company. Admiring Kin & Company’s arresting metal patinas— the result of chemical experiments on bronze— at a shared trade show, Wallpaper Projects’ husband-and-wife owners, David Jimenez and Amanda Dandeneau, saw an exciting opportunity to develop an atmospheric wallpaper. Printed on gleaming mylar, the patterns— seen here in Patina Studies 1, Patina Studies 2 and Patina Studies 3 installed by Ellis Design Studio at London venue Electric Shuffle—are designed as an experience unto themselves. Fluctuating sunbeams, shadows and artificial light sources pick up on different nuanced metallic reflections, creating a dynamic, ever-changing canvas. wallpaperprojects.com

Interior Design: Shawn Henderson, Shawn Henderson Interior Design

hen a Westchester couple with grown children started looking for a homestead farther north in the Hudson Valley, not even a winter ice storm could deter them from viewing a particular property in Chatham that dangled possibility like a fruit tree in summer. The house, a clever bit of architectural grafting, was created by former owners who brought the property’s 18th-century saltbox to higher ground and enlarged it with a contemporary addition. Those dual architectural stories—historical and modern—intrigued the new buyers. “It’s the best of both worlds: cozy wood-paneled rooms, as well as big, open sun-filled spaces,” says the wife. “We knew immediately that it had the potential to grow along with us.” Ideas bubbling, the couple called designer Shawn Henderson, whose own historic weekender is in nearby Hillsdale. The saltbox and its addition, done by LDa Architecture & Interiors, “blew me away,” recalls the designer, who worked with general contractor Peter Whitehead for a “light cosmetic renovation” comprised of a few interior architectural tweaks and all-new finishes. “Everything in the house was white—Shawn knew right away that we would warm things up,” says the wife. “While it has distinctly modern elements, it’s still a house in the country,” adds the husband. “Shawn had not only a sense of space but of place and the fourseason views on the other side of the windows.” The designer was keenly aware of not limiting the views with heavy draperies and knew that the vistas, be they lushly green or snowy white, could also act as a harmonizing element between the old and new sections of the house. Guests are greeted in the historic component, where Henderson designed a welcoming entry flanked by a formal lounge and a game room. (This is a family of card players.) And while the rooms have defined purposes, they are united visually by midcentury furnishings and a subdued palette with the sort of “obscure colors” that Henderson adores. Above the front rooms are two cosseting guest quarters, while behind them is an alcove that transitions the saltbox into the

addition’s rear great room and adjacent primary bedroom suite. Henderson kept the great room’s kitchen and dining spaces neutral, further relaxing them with natural woods, but he amped up the palette at the living room end, bringing in a Swedish kilim-style rug woven in pale blues and mustard yellows. “It hits all the right notes,” he says, adding that he chose the plaid upholstery for the side chairs for “a little American country.” The surprise, perhaps even for Henderson, was the yellow sofa. “This is probably the first bright yellow sofa I’ve done, but I’ve done quite a few since! Yellow is a beautiful color to be surrounded by.” Meanwhile, in the couple’s bedroom, a contemporary four-poster “adds structure and architecture,” says Henderson, but it’s also a subtle nod to the past. Henderson’s clever mix of old and new has become something of a hallmark and throughout this home, vintage Scandinavian silhouettes sit comfortably with much earlier American pieces. (A barley-twist table here, a bobbin-turned chair there.) To insert too many antiques would have been “too specific, too trite, too ordinary,” says the designer. Instead, rooms are layered and textural, clean and simple, contemporary and subtly colored. And repeated motifs, like plaids and natural fibers (woven wallcoverings, window shades and even table lamps, for example), knit the home’s two architectural styles together in a nuanced way. With the interiors complete, the homeowners turned their attention outside, bringing on landscape architect Diane Devore to revive the setting and fellow farm-owner and architect Oliver Cope, who designed the new pool house, which was built by Whitehead and furnished by Henderson. “It’s a contemporary barn in shape and a more durable extension of the main house with a hang-out space, kitchenette and changing room,” says Henderson. And true to the homeowners’ vision of “growing” the house for friends and family, the designer is currently transforming the property’s original barn into a guest house. “I’ve been able to put my stamp on this home that, in theory, will keep living on, and that’s super satisfying,” he says. “To have a historic home and expand on it; to make your own history in it—that’s fun!”

Designer Shawn Henderson anchored the open living room of this Chatham, New York, home with a custom mustard sofa and walnut end tables with built-in magazine racks. The Hans Wegner chairs were given a Perrine Rousseau fabric and the swivel chairs a Classic Cloth check. The pendant is a 1980s Ingo Maurer design, and the rug is from The New England Collection.

Rich tones and daring details turn a blank-slate Brooklyn apartment into a jewel box through and through.

TRUE COLORS

Interior Design: Alexandra Pappas and Tatyana Miron, Pappas Miron Design Home Builder: Dylan Murray, Murray Craft Builders Corp

ive a designer trust, and they’re bound to seize the opportunity. Give as much to Alexandra Pappas and Tatyana Miron, and you’re apt to have clients just as gratified by the outcome. The design duo has been best friends since their shared upbringings in Connecticut, so it was fitting that they met their clients—a young family who’d just purchased a new-build Brooklyn condo—through a mutual childhood friend. After visiting Miron’s own exuberant Manhattan loft, Pappas recalls the wife saying, “‘I love everything about it. Can you just do this for me?’ ” Apart from a few family items—an inherited midcentury sofa, a genteel portrait of a great-grandfather—“we were essentially unleashed,” says Miron. Since Miron and Pappas had joined the project prior to completion of the buildout, they began by tailoring the unit to meet their clients’ unique needs. First up: a few modifications to the floor plan—including linking the children’s bedroom and playroom via pocket doors, extending one wall of the kitchen to accommodate a pantry and adding a utility room beneath the staircase. Cosmetic enhancements to the interior architecture were just as well considered, from white oak veneer cladding the extra-wide kitchen doorway, to Danby statuary marble tiling in the primary bathroom, to numerous well-appointed built-ins, like the handsome living room bookshelves with leatherinset panels. Clever details such as these were paramount to the project and general contractor Dylan Murray was instrumental in achieving them. Crucially, Murray’s can-do mindset extended to mastering the project’s focal finish and defining element: lime-painted walls tinted to a rich hue Pappas describes as “duck mallard green.” The quality of light pouring through the condo’s tall windows was what allowed her and Miron to really dial up the drama—with the confidence of knowing the saturated shade would remain dynamic throughout the day. The pair’s knack for confident color extends to smaller moments, too. Since the clients love to entertain, fashioning a cocktail station was

210

a must (“they didn’t want to keep running to the kitchen to make a drink,” Miron says), so the decision was made to convert a closet into an enclosed wet bar replete with marsala-colored lacquer and a peach-tinted mirror backsplash to mimic the romantic aura of candlelight. “I think we just wanted that bar to be a surprise,” says Pappas. The warm tones, as well as “changing up the finishes really made it a ‘wow’ moment,” she adds. “It was so fun to use great colors like these,” Miron effuses. “I mean, what other client is going to go for giant rust-colored curtains in a deep green living room? They were amazing.” But while bold hues were key to giving the newbuild flavor, so were the textures inserted to create visual reprieve, such as a mix of natural fiber wallcoverings (Madagascar raffia in the entryway; a fine-weave grass cloth in the primary bedroom) and ivory linen club chairs to break up the sea of jewel tones in the living room. Staintreated for durability, the neutral upholstery stands up to daily life with children. But like the antique Oushak rug that inspired the living room color palette, most of the home’s elements are intended to age gracefully anyway—like the custom dining banquette, which was designed to resemble a midcentury Scandinavian piece. “It’s the kind of virgin leather that will age and show oil marks,” says Pappas. “It looks super cool and adds great patina and history to the space.” That same ethos extends to the apartment’s finishing touches. A custom Fortuny quilt embellishes the primary bedroom wall, a handmade pendant by Oregon artist Stephen White hangs over the bed and special pieces of vintage and artisan pottery—see: the colorblocked cobalt lamps they commissioned to flank the living room sofa, cutting the same horizon line as the Jane Wilson painting above—bring a characterful, collected air to every last vignette. It’s these moments of intrigue that make the project feel so distinctly Pappas Miron—which is also the consequence of clients who permitted the two women to do what they do best. Notes Miron, “It was such a joy and a thrill to hear someone say, ‘Yes’ to almost everything we suggested.” Because of this, a Brooklyn family got exactly what they wanted, too.

In the hallway of this Brooklyn condominium by designers Alexandra Pappas and Tatyana Miron, lime-painted walls applied by general contractor Dylan Murray and his team lend a dimensional backdrop to a gridded iron table from The Locust Tree and mirror made with Fortuny trim by Steven Amedee. Both the diminutive coronation stool and Flambe table lamp are antique.

Opposite: Fine Paints of Europe lacquer in Burgundy covers the interior doors and cabinetry of the built-in bar, which the designers converted from a closet.

A Garden Grows Moving from cityscape to countryside, a painter cultivates new creative paths. W R I T T E N BY M O N I Q U E M C I N T O S H P H O T O G R A P H Y BY W I N O N A B A R T O N - B A L L E N T I N E

hanks to flowers, painter Mary Nelson Sinclair is experiencing a bit of a metamorphosis. From Monet’s water lilies to Van Gogh’s sunflowers, “I feel like every artist goes through a floral phase,” she laughs. Of late, Sinclair has been personally consumed by peonies, tulips and daffodils, which she grows in the lush garden she tends with her husband, furniture designer and fabricator Matty Cruise. It’s a dramatic shift from Brooklyn, which the couple left in 2019 for their Hudson Valley home and studio. But this new life immersed in nature has only deepened her career-long fascination with color and movement, which she distills in expressive abstract paintings. For Sinclair, painting has always pulled from the world around her. She starts by

refining her palette, often plucked from “little color stories I find in my day-today life.” Honing her eye across years in fashion, interiors and textile design before transitioning full-time to art, she’s drawn to unexpected juxtapositions, pairing “a slightly ‘off’ color with something beautiful.” She then intuitively plays with composition, whether forming bold, graphic gestures or gauzy, atmospheric clouds. “My interest has always been in how a medium can change as I move it around the canvas,” she explains. Sinclair’s latest paintings feel almost botanical, with petal-like shapes in bright wildflower hues and earthy shades of rust and moss, as if her garden is seeping into her abstract brushstrokes by osmosis. “Moving here from the city, I definitely became inspired by my surroundings,” she says. From her studio—an airy grain barn that she splits with Cruise—“I can see trees

and flowers. And the light here, especially at sunset, is beautiful.” These new works also reflect a creative shift since becoming a mother. Concerned about the potential health effects of oils and turpentine, she switched to high-flow acrylics when she became pregnant with her daughter in 2018. But motherhood also “changed how I looked at my whole process,” she shares. “I learned not to force anything on the canvas. I can have some control, but sometimes I just have to let it happen.” This spirit of discovery also inspired collaborations with Cruise, where the pair experiments with an accelerated brass patina to create dreamy verdigris motifs on furniture and objets d’art. It seems both in her garden and in the studio, embracing life’s ebb and flow is emboldening. “After all of these big life changes,” she says, “I feel like I’ve hit my stride.”

Drawing from a medley of inspirations (sampled on her mood board, left), as well as the tones from her newly planted flower garden, Mary Nelson Sinclair crafts saturated acrylic-on-canvas paintings from her Hudson Valley studio. “For me,” she says, “art is something that you want to live with and look at and always find something new about.”

fluffle of rabbits hopped across the lawn to welcome Howard Williams and Eric Gunhus the first time they laid eyes on their would-be East Hampton getaway. To mark that auspicious greeting, the couple would eventually hang one of Hunt Slonem’s bunny paintings in the pantry. It’s a small gesture, but one that speaks volumes about their intentions. “Every little thing was chosen and agonized over,” says Eric. “We asked ourselves, ‘Does it represent us? Does it feel out of place in the Hamptons?’ ” Howard, the owner of the Manhattan gallery, High Style Deco, and Eric, a former Broadway performer who now owns the company, EG Event Group, had been looking for a project—and the 1919 Colonial Revival certainly was one. “It was frozen in time,” recalls Howard, noting of its appeal, “We didn’t want anyone else’s renovation, so it was better that way.” Eric, in particular, was drawn to the rooms’ smaller scale. “I’ve learned as an event planner that when you have more intimate spaces, it brings people closer,” he says. For architect Anthony Vermandois, the couple’s vision fit squarely into his own professional philosophy. “Their plan wasn’t to change the character into something it wasn’t, and I’m not trying to transform houses into something they’re not,” says Vermandois, adding, “I’m updating them for the 21st century while keeping their integrity intact.” On the exterior, he restored the period detailing on the front porch and front door surround. Working closely with his frequent collaborator, general contractor Tom O’Donoghue, he replaced windows and added corner boards and dormers to the roof. (“We can give him an idea or sketch, and he can turn it into reality,” the architect says of O’Donoghue.) Eric, an Iowa native with fond memories of Midwest summers spent on the porch, requested a covered terrace, so Vermandois created a classical-inspired dining loggia on one side of the house. On the opposite side, a 1960s sun room addition received a makeover in a classical revival style.

226

LUXESOURCE.COM

To give the couple a bit more space, Vermandois then devised a modest two-story addition at the rear of the house. Upstairs, the extra space meant the couple gained an en suite bathroom complete with his-and-his sinks and a coffee station. On the first floor, a powder room and mudroom were added, while the dining room and kitchen gained more square footage. In the latter, stainedwalnut built-ins resembling a vintage ice box emphasize a period feel, as does a curved Tiffany Studios stained-glass window salvaged from a 1907 townhouse, which the new pool house was designed around. The couple delighted in sourcing art and furnishings for the home across frequent buying trips for Howard’s gallery. A painting of a grasshopper hanging in the entry, for instance, was from the estate of an opera singer, and the couple used the gray, brown and gold hues in it to establish the moody palette. “This is a year-round house, so it was meant to be warm and cozy,” Howard shares. This being the Hamptons, though, there are plenty of clever nods to the sea. In the dining room, the waves on the wallpaper evoke Japanese woodblock prints and the rug, with its varied lengths of pile, suggests kelp. “It’s organic and ocean-centric with Howard’s layer of gloss on top,” notes Eric. A sense of place is evident in the outside spaces as well, imagined by landscape designer Michael Donnellan. In a secret garden off the sun room, antique brick for the walls was laid to mimic that at the old Parrish Art Museum and a pedestal nestled in the hedges came from Grey Gardens. As for the grounds themselves? “When Michael asked what we envisioned, I said, ‘I want it to look like Joan Crawford lives here,” Howard recalls of their first meeting. “It’s manicured, sharp and clean.” Although, Eric adds, “There’s a casual layer on top of that with free-flowing hydrangeas and a cutting garden.” In season, some of those hydrangeas will find their way into a Meissen vase in the kitchen. The arrangement serves as a visual representation of the homeowners. As Eric puts it, “The end result was always going to be a reflection of what Howard offers and an extension of my business as well.”

Working with architect Anthony Vermandois, homeowners Howard Williams and Eric Gunhus revamped their 1919 Colonial Revival East Hampton getaway. The freshly renovated sun room features vintage finds, such as a Harvey Probber sofa, Karpen Of California accent chairs, an Aldo Tura game table and midcentury French ceramic lighting fixtures—all from Howard’s gallery, High Style Deco.

Left: In the kitchen, the couple aimed for a 1920s feel while retaining functionality with a woodpaneled island topped with Danby marble and vintage brass-andenamel Italian stools. The couple scored the pendants on a buying trip to Paris. The flooring is antiqued Belgian bluestone laid in classic brick bond from Stone Source. Opposite: A 1950s Italian table and Pierre Jeanneret chairs bring a midcentury ambience to the kitchen’s breakfast area. The flanking built-ins, painted Benjamin Moore’s Chelsea Gray with ECM-NY Architectural Hardware knobs and pulls (as throughout), were fashioned from antique curio cabinet doors.

Above: The new pool house, replete with a wet bar with built-ins by McMahon Custom Cabinets and a Shaws of Darwen sink, was designed around a Tiffany Studios stained-glass window gifted by a friend. “We wanted it to look like a folly,” explains Eric. Opposite: Throughout the house, the owners evoked the nearby ocean. In the dining room, they chose a hand-painted Gracie wallcovering depicting waves along with a Silas Sendal table with a bronze, wave-form base, a Creative Touch carpet that suggests sea kelp and a custom Murano glass chandelier that resembles a sea urchin.

Above: A coffee station in the primary bathroom means the couple can ease into their mornings without going downstairs. Waterworks field tile, White Beauty marble countertops from New York Stone, White Cliff Mediterranean porcelain tile on the floor and Cheviot’s freestanding Balmoral cast-iron tub lend a European flair. Opposite: “This home is much warmer than our New York apartment,” says Howard. A guest room featuring circa 1960 Directional twin beds with upholstered headboards and Ann Gish duvets, and brass-legged midcentury benches recovered with Holly Hunt leather bear out his observation.

A majestic 350-year-old tulip tree presides over the garage—which was updated to resemble a guest cottage—and a cocktail-depth pool by Alluvium Crafted Pools. Dedon planters and Brown Jordan chaises dress up the scene.

In this special section, you will explore the latest in high-tech features and appliances, color palettes, materials and textures, distinctive furnishings, lighting, hardware and more—it all comes together in kitchens and baths that are the design pioneers of the cutting-edge home.

CREATIVE USES OF SPACE

AJ MADISON 800.570.3355 | ajmadison.com |

Homes have taken on more functionality than ever before, with existing spaces transformed for new activities. Mudrooms with overflow refrigerators, laundry rooms doubling as a craft room or classroom, home offices with exercise equipment and basements turning into pantries for dry and frozen goods, to name a few.

Enthusiasm permeates the atmosphere of AJ Madison, a home appliance purveyor known for innovative, best-in-class products. One team member views the kitchen as a celebratory space, and poses the question: “Where else can you engage all of your senses?” Aesthetically, appliances have advanced to the point of making interior architectural statements; technologically, the options in which to increase efficiency and enhance cooking are nearly infinite. Amy Chernoff VP of Marketing at AJ Madison, shares what’s next and noteworthy in the industry. “The big silver box in your kitchen that keeps food cold will be a distant memory,” Chernoff says. “It will be replaced with a state-ofthe-art food preservation unit that orders groceries as soon as the item is depleted.” Thermador, a leader in smart appliances, has elevated the tech experience with its versatile Home Connect™ app, offering a unified approach to remotely controlling and monitoring products of every category.

The technological advancements in the tile industry do not stop at digital transfers. “Visualizers are quite a hit,” White says. Using a visualizer, clients are able to see exactly what a specific tile would look like in their space. This touch of personalization provides clarity, improves the design process and can make the decision-making significantly easier. “The surge in QR scan codes has also really helped us with labeling all sorts of samples and items for clients on every level.” Rather than doing their own research—or worse, being forced to rely on their imaginations— clients are able to easily find additional information and images for any product of interest. By making sourcing effortless and convenient, Cancos Tile & Stone is improving homeowners’ and professionals’ quality of life.

When it comes to design, the team behind Cancos Tile & Stone practices the age-old adage, “simpler is better.” The family-owned business homes in on two goals, no matter the task or challenge at hand. “At Cancos, our philosophy is simple,” says Bernadette White, vice president of the company. “We like to stay in the forefront of technology and design trends. In addition, we need to be able to deliver these items at competitive prices.” Cancos Tile & Stone has made good on these promises even while bringing new products to the marketplace. “Years ago, we were one of the first importers to introduce Monocottura tiles,” White says. “A few years later, we evolved with technology and introduced porcelain tiles.” Since then, the company has come to offer glass tiles and digital technology, which allows for more customization since images, patterns and textures can be transferred to the tiles.

IN VOGUE VIBES A mix of textures, materials and colors can create the artistic palette for an overall design. Paula says moody colors and stains are trending, such as forest greens, navy blues and smoky grays. Black is also back, seen as matte and polished finishes. Porcelain floors that look like wood can expand from the kitchen into an open-concept dining room for a seamless look and easy maintenance. “Another trend that I love is dramatic stone and tile for countertops, backsplashes or accent walls in patterns and prints.”

Paula McDonald doesn’t need bells and whistles to wow her clients. “There is a simplicity in my design perspective that is difficult to achieve—my signature of elegant simplicity,” says the owner of a full-service design, build, construction and interiors firm based in New York City’s Flatiron District. Limited square footage is no match for Paula, who can achieve a chef’s kitchen or spa-like bath in the smallest of spaces. A master integrator of architecture and design, she also helps

SCREEN PLAY Managing the home’s environment from your smartphone is something Paula is bringing to her clients via Lutron. Homeowners can use the same app to program the window shades and lights in order to “set the scene” for various times of the day, creating different ambiences for morning or night.

clients navigate the complex regulatory environment for co-ops and condominiums in the city by garnering approvals from buildings, boards and filings with Landmarks Preservation Commission and the Department of Buildings. “I manage each project as if it is my own residence and that’s what makes our services distinct,” Paula says. “I’m inspired by creating spaces that become greater than the client’s vision and always a complete transformation.”
