WHEN ONE CONTEMPLATES GREAT DESIGN, THEMES EMERGE. IT MIGHT BE EXPECTED THAT THESE WOULD BE AESTHETIC PRINCIPLES, AN EXPERT’S EXPERIENCE OR EDUCATION, OR THE HOMEOWNER’S LEVEL OF INVOLVEMENT. CERTAINLY, THOSE FACTORS PLAY A ROLE IN ANY PROJECT. BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT, SO OFTEN, THE MARKER OF IMPACTFUL DESIGN IS AN ALL-IMPORTANT, BEHIND-THE-SCENES INGREDIENT: COLLABORATION.

composition, layering and more. When interior designer and paint contractor meet in the middle, a true marriage of art and science is at work. In this special section presented in partnership with Benjamin Moore, 10 such dynamic duos showcase the perspectives, craftsmanship and love for hue and tone that they pour into every project. Introducing, the Faces of Design.

ENRIQUE AND LUIS PENA

Enrique: Paint can give everything a rhythmic look by connecting many aspects of the project, creating intimacy or openness across spaces.

BY STACY ZARIN GOLDBERG; BROUGHTON/PENA BY

When clients expect close to perfection, smoothing the behind-the-scenes processes is key. Enter, designer Iantha Carley and paint expert James Lackford. The husbandand-wife team has built a gorgeous portfolio, with Iantha contributing the eye for color and James keeping upto-date on products and techniques. And while Iantha’s attention to detail is most immediately noticed in a completed space, James plays that role too. “Putting the paint on is the easy part. The prep takes the most time. One of my best guys goes out at night with a bare bulb and circles everything he finds wrong on the surface.” ianthainteriors.com, properpaintandpaper.com

Paint a picture of the design journey and the role you play within it. Luis: We try to see things from the perspective of the design team, making their vision beautiful with color and craftsmanship. rowlandbroughton.com, forrestpaintingcolorado.com

IANTHA CARLEY + JAMES LACKFORD

Sarah: We believe that walls are our canvas and backdrop to life and art—the quality of the painting is important. So, we like to work with level-five finishes a lot. Early on in our firm, Enrique executed that with fantastic attention to detail and dedication to craft. We have worked together for the 20 years since!

“People often try to identify what creates that ce rtain sense of elegance and luxury in their favorite spaces. It’s the paint and finishes.”

SAN FRANCISCO, CA

I N P A R T N E R S H I P W I T H B E N J A M I N M O O R E

EMILIE MUNROE + RYE NAZARIAN

Asked to share the story of her collaboration with paint craftsman Rye Nazarian, designer Emilie Munroe says, “There is no lack of stories to share over a glass of wine!” Indeed, from executing an entire project during a client’s two-week vacation to perfecting the boldest of hues (an Emilie signature), the duo is always up to a challenge. Rye speaks to one he often undertakes: “There is this ‘freshly fallen snow look’ people are often seeking. We do it by using 18-inch rollers and a sprayer loaded with Benjamin Moore Regal in a dead flat finish on the ceiling.” studiomunroe.com, surfacepaintdesign.com

In historic, iconic spaces, selecting paint can be daunting. Every hue should be perfectly attuned to the design, worthy of the home’s precedence, elegant yet ahead of the trends. Such is the challenge that often faces Jamie Drake and Caleb Anderson. Beloved for their balance of timelessness and today, the designers embrace the art of “repolishing” interiors in buildings like One57 and Herzog & de Meuron’s 56 Leonard. And behind the scenes, one partner has played a key role. Jonathan Kutzin met the design duo when they collaborated at a Kips Bay Decorators Show House in 2008. The rest is a history of perfect pairing. “I work almost exclusively with the design community to deliver top quality in high-end environments,” Jonathan shares. “I have developed many unique specialty finishes, including one that incorporates eyeshadow into the medium and others with mica flakes and iron oxides.” With this innovative mindset, he creates capsule collections of samples for each of Jamie and Caleb’s illustrious projects. As for the team’s favorite formula, Jamie says, “Benjamin Moore AURA®’s quality makes it our go-to pick.” drakeanderson.com, americapainting.nyc

“Paint can be the star or supporting role. I like when we use it to surprise or ‘wink’ at you—a bright orange peeking at you from the back of a bookcase.”

I N P A R T N E R S H I P W I T H B E N J A M I N M O O R E

Which colors inspire you the most? Timothy: I am most influenced by the vibrant, saturated colors used in mid-18th-century French design. I like warm shades versus cooler ones in any color, because they make a space feel welcoming. timothy-corrigan.com, pinkpainter.net

SARA MALEK BARNEY + LISA AND PETER MOON

Why do you consider it critical to work with a skilled painting contractor? Timothy: Our projects tend to have beautiful architectural details, wood paneling and plasterwork, which require specialty painting. We also work on historic homes where an understanding of preservation is key.

How do the feature benefits of a paint product influence your specification? Bill: We love Benjamin Moore’s SCUFF-X® for families because it is washable and scrubbable. Low or no-odor formulas like Eco Spec® are desirable for health-conscious clients and those with young children. I also recommend semigloss and eggshell finishes for kitchens and baths, but flat ones for ceilings and matte for walls.

LOS ANGELES, CA

AUSTIN, TX

Upon being asked to describe the impact paint has on an interior, Lisa Moon says, “Use of light, use of color and good space planning are the essence of great design. If any of these is not executed well, the environment falls flat or, worse, feels ‘off.’” It’s this level of insight that has made Lisa, her husband Peter and their team at Paper Moon Painting invaluable resources for Sara Malek Barney, the founder and principal at BANDD/DESIGN. She chimes in, “We believe that everyone deserves to live, work and experience life in an aesthetically pleasing space, and having true craftspeople applying paint of the quality Benjamin Moore provides is key to creating that.” As is the breadth of selection. “Benjamin Moore does an excellent job of curating rich, lovely colors, plus providing the greatest selection of whites and off-whites in various undertones,” Lisa says. “They always seem to land on the perfect amount of saturation, ensuring brilliant hues never look like Crayola colors on the wall.” Peter adds his application tip for those bright shades: “Use a gray primer under reds and blues to avoid multiple coats.” bandddesign.com, papermoonpainting.com

TIMOTHY CORRIGAN + BILL SUPLEE

What role does paint sheen/finish play?

TRACY MORRIS + GEORGE FRITZ

Why is your collaborative relationship critical to a project’s success? Allison: It broadens how creative you can be. Recently, we wanted to bleach a mahogany ceiling in an outdoor space and then apply a beige stain to cut the green hue and create a soft shade. It would be challenging, but Chad accomplished it in one try. He is a master of subtle texture!

“ The design journey is a bit of a relay race where we continuously pass the baton back and forth , supporting each other at each stage.”

TRACY MORRIS

Describe the impact of paint on interiors. Zita: We’ve been doing a lot of transitional spaces where the walls, moldings and ceilings are the same color but varying finishes. This becomes a clean and serene envelope perfect for showcasing art, which exemplifies the influence paint has on our designs.

Chad: Benjamin Moore’s Regal Select Matte is a favorite because it has a very subtle sheen but is almost flat. The way it toys with light gives a home a lovely glow. It can also be scrubbed clean without damage. paladinorudd.com, irawalden.com

I N P A R T N E R S H I P W I T H B E N J A M I N M O O R E

ALLISON PALADINO AND ZITA RUDD + CHAD QUIST

A warm taupe, a deep blueberry, a soft blush—out of all the colors under the sun, these three, Tracy Morris says, will always captivate her. The interior designer has a deep appreciation for color’s role in her creations, and construction and paint expert George Fritz has a passion for exceptional paint application. “Paint can transform a ‘blah’ space into something spectacular,” Tracy says. George adds, “And selecting the right paint can make the difference between an easy project and happy client or an extended project and miserable client.” Perhaps it’s no wonder these two have been a dream project team for almost a decade. tracymorrisdesign.com, horizonbuildersinc.net

Peter: Believe it or not, AURA® in a basic white. Simply put, it works the best for trim, and this is an area that often gets overlooked.

JOAN CRAIG + STEVE HESTER

Th e final paint coats impact the big picture. If they aren’t perfect, every other effort and vision is diminished.”

Peter: If the client loves their color selections, they’ll be happy with our work and vice versa. We make the colors look their best, but it’s all about the color for the homeowner. everickbrown.com, certapro.com/westchester

JOAN CRAIG

What is your all-time favorite Benjamin Moore product?

Exactitude and craftsmanship, vision and inspiration —these are the elements that come together in the partnership of Joan Craig and Steve Hester. The designer and painting pro, and their respective teams, have made an art form out of collaboration for more than a decade. Joan knows that color transforms a space, and Steve’s 70-plus skilled painters take the utmost pride in their work. “We want to give our customers a finished product that will last for years to come,” Steve says. And they do, by helping designers like Joan select the perfect formula and finish before applying it beautifully. craigandco.com, hesterdecorating.com

How did you three come to work together?

EVERICK AND LISA BROWN

Share your tips for paint selection. Everick: For a modern feel, Lisa and I like to specify our signature look, which includes painting the trim, doors and baseboard the same color as the wall in a satin or matte finish. In rooms where the ceilings are 8 feet tall or shorter, we choose white or lighter colors in flat finishes to create the illusion of a taller space.

“If you are aiming to create a glowing space with a level-five finish, select an enamel paint that provides that car paint-like look.”

Advice FROM THE Experts

JAMES LACKFORD

“ When chosen well, paint can regulate the mood of a room, making a sunny space feel fresh and cool or an area with minimal windows feel cozy and comfortable.”

JAMIE DRAKE

“Deep, saturated hues for the win! Life is too short to live in a sea of white. Make a choice and lean in. If you tire of it (you won’t) you can easily repaint.”

“I a m a China White OC-141 fan. We work with a lot of natural materials, and its taupe undertone works amazingly well with wood and stone.”

GEORGE FRITZ

“Use AURA® Bath & Spa matte in the bathroom, especially for deeper colors. I’ve got baths I painted 10-plus years ago that still look new because of this formula.”

“Always determine the best color for a room by painting a 2-by-2-foot foam board and moving it around the space. It should suit in every patch of light.”

“Next to space planning, paint is the most significant effect we can have on an environment.”

“ The level of preparation a surface needs for a perfect application depends on the sheen, and that decision is informed by many factors: lighting, traffic, color and more.”

At this same museum in January 2015, I stood in front of John Singer Sargent’s Lady Agnew of Lochnaw, a painting I studied in my college art history classes. It has had a profound effect on me as both a design editor and an artist. I have my calendar marked to be back at the Frick in Fall 2023 to view Hendrick’s Steve with an equal measure of exuberant anticipation.

I recently read that portraits by Barkley L. Hendricks will be featured alongside old masters at The Frick Collection in New York City. Hendricks is the first artist of color to have a solo show at the 87-year-old museum. That an institution presenting European art from the 14th to 19th centuries will be showing work of a contemporary artist whose focus is large-scale portraits of Black Americans—and who was an influential predecessor to the likes of Kehinde Wiley, Amy Sherald, Toyin Ojih Odutola and others—is significant for the art world...and, indeed, for us all.

“It’s what got me where I am now.”

It might not come as a surprise that the New York-based talent first trained in finance—a background that equips her with a unique sense of entrepreneurialism. Indeed, working between the traditionally siloed disciplines of art and design gives Njoku a rare kind of creative freedom. Case in point: The artist has expanded her practice to clothing, fashion accessories and lifestyle items, to name a few.

Across her pieces, there’s dynamic interchangeability to the patterns she creates. “I always want to stay connected with people who can afford everyday things,” Njoku adds.

MATRIARK

TALKING SHOP

Set in Sag Harbor’s historic downtown is Matriark, a new shopping experience offering clothing, accessories and decor items by woman- and LGBTQIA+-owned brands. Luxury retail specialist Patricia Assui Reed established the concept store in 2019 after spending two decades in an industry that is still mired by gender inequality. “I chose the village because I am a resident here,” she says. “I saw an opportunity to bring a different mix of brands together.” To curate a selection tailored to its artistically inclined and progressive town, the shop’s products are “beautiful and not widely available elsewhere,” notes Assui Reed, adding: “I serve three generations of customers who come for unique items, so I try to showcase an eclectic array of s tyles.” And as Sag Harbor continues to evolve into a design destination, Matriark is well positioned to make an impact and spotlight otherwise overlooked creators. matriark.com SCENE

When developing its Heritage Collection of furnishings, Studio Seitz founder Kevin Seitz set out to channel the craft traditions of his native Berneck, Switzerland, which is home to his family’s wood-joinery workshop. The New Yorkbased studio’s latest item is a wall mirror inspired by the Fahreimer—a classic Alpine milking pail— and produced using FSC-certiﬁed solid European ash (shown above). This new piece combines the brand’s commitment to revitalizing skilled techniques that are rapidly disappearing and its adherence to modernist principles. And its release this fall coincides with the opening of Seitz and partner Rob van Wyen’s new Williamsburg, Brooklyn, showroom—in no less a converted babka factory. studioseitz.com

“Launching Man of Parts stemmed from my desire nurture design innovation and to collaborate more closely with makers,” says brand’s founder, Stephan Weishaupt. While the new, meticulously crafted Lombard Street lounge chair by Yabu Pushelberg (shown at left) hints at the structured undulations of its namesake street in San Francisco, the Takayama Lamp also takes on geographic proportions as it alludes to a 1300-year-old ﬁ shing technique speciﬁ c to a remote Japanese village. Meanwhile, the inspiration for Sebastian Herkner’s curvilinear Savignyplatz Desk comes from Berlin. And, last but not least, the studio’s Gin Lane bar cart evokes Southampton’s most iconic stretch. manofparts.com

Joining this illustrious list of spatial designs are furniture and object collections. Launching this fall at New York gallery Colony for Studio Paolo Ferrari’s ﬁrst-ever U.S. solo show, the new Edition 4 series (shown above) takes on a sculptural quality.

By turning recycled glass into fantastical assemblages, Amber Cowan ponders issues of rebirth, knowledge, desire, labor and imagination. The Philadelphia-based artist incorporates recognizable elements like ﬂowers, animals, vessels and other manmade objects in uniﬁed and mostly monochromatic sculptures that are as visually striking as they are visceral.

Along a charming tree-lined street of brownstones in the heart of Chelsea is a historic property turned luxe retreat that naturally melds into its residential neighborhood. Vanessa Guilford, design director at Tocci, transformed the former home of American writer Clement Clarke Moore into The Moore, an inviting 81-room boutique hotel with design-forward ﬂair. “I was going for a modern European sensibility that is classic and streamlined,” says Guilford of the unfussy yet chic interiors. Elevated materials—soft teak wood, mixed hard metals, white marble and glossy black beveled-edge tiles—deck out petite guest rooms, while the lobby pops with rich furnishings and artworks by Louis and Jean François. A rooftop wine bar, ﬁtness center and perfectly made latte at the lobby’s Café Moore round out the perks. themoorenyc.com

Your father’s Palestinian, your mother’s Turkish. How did this inﬂuence the collection? My father was an avid collector of Ottoman and contemporary Palestinian art. My mother’s a fantastic cook.

New York artist Nour al Nimer established homeware label Nimerology in 2012, sourcing motifs from di erent cultures and applying her interpretations to English bone china. Luxe spoke to al Nimer about Gül n’ Eloïse the Dragon, her latest collection. nimerology.com

What’s the symbolic value of dragons and roses in this collection? The Rose, or gül as it’s called in Turkey, has been used in di erent ways throughout history and is an integral part of modern culture. And, portrayed as spiritual beings that chase away evil, dragons are a quintessential Chinese and Ottoman motif. For me, it signiﬁes feminine strength.

When it came time for Beni Rugs to open a brick-and-mortar outpost, the standard-issue gallery didn’t feel right. So, co-founder Robert Wright opted to do what a rare but emerging coterie of brands have embraced: roll out the welcome mat for clients in a place that would typically have one in the first place. An actual home.

Other brands embracing the idea that style begins at home include Casa Perfect, Lee Broom, Gabriel & Guillaume and Galerie Philia (the latter of which opened its latest traveling showroom inside a $10 million Chelsea apartment). “We wanted to show that you can not only live with these historical pieces, but also mix them in a very casual way,” says Guillaume

Beni Rugs worked with stylist Colin King to perfect their townhouse space in New York City’s Greenwich Village (left). In a sleek corner of Gabriel & Guillaume’s Manhattan skyscraper residence, beautiful furnishings mingle with works of art. Galerie Philia’s latest traveling showroom extends to all five floors of a stately brownstone (previous page).

think: ‘Well, why don’t we come up with an apartment in New York that’s the home of our ideal Beni consumer?’” They imagined everything from this fictitious client’s art collection down to the trinkets brought home from their travels. Thus, their new appointment-only Greenwich Village studio in a circa 1900 brownstone on West 9th Street in Manhattan was born.

In 2018, the then digital-only company got its start by allowing people to fully customize Moroccan rugs. But a few years later, the time had come to expand to a physical location. “We wanted it to feel like you’re coming over to your friend’s apartment....and oh, by the way, on the floor are rugs from our newest collection,” Wright explains. “It was a fun exercise to

Excoffier, co-founder (with Nancy Gabriel) of Gabriel & Guillaume, which procures everything from Martin Szekely’s 1988 Betty armchairs to a 1950 Italian sofa by Federico Munari. The gallery, featuring rotating exhibitions, is currently ensconced in an appointment-only, twostory residence at 11 West 57th Street in New York City. “We have created a new kind of retail experience—something more exclusive, something more private— like entering into the apartment of a collector,” Gabriel says. It’s no surprise then that companies are seeing this model resonate with consumers, as navigating the sometimes-arduous task of making design choices now seems much easier in a familiar setting. beni rugs photo: stephen kent johnson. gabriel & guillaume photo: courtesy company.

JOLIE NGO

DAVID

As the youngest member of the museum’s Makers’ Circle, recent art school graduate Jolie Ngo creates ceramic ‘cyborg-like’ objects and vessels using modern technologies, including 3-D printing and rapid prototyping. A child of the early aughts, her aesthetic was shaped by digital interfaces including Minecraft and The Sims, and she continues to explore the intersection between handmade and automated. “Shaker work is quite the opposite of my own with a focus on simplicity and purpose,” Ngo says. “Their objects lack unnecessary ornamentation and decorative detail.” But, nonetheless, she has come to appreciate this ethos of making. “They believed that mastery of craft was a partnership with tools, materials and process—an idea I hold close within my own work, continuously probing the synergy between what is formed by hand versus technology.” ngojolie.net

For artist David Nosanchuk, of the past has allowed him to an oeuvre very much rooted in the new materials, methods and processes, Nosanchuk is as candlestands in translucent resin. A student of Shaker the New York-based come to culture and beliefs were tied to what produced. Be it a chair, table or baby’s toy, every form harks back to the maker’s values—a quiet beauty Nosanchuk honors every stage

“Iconic Shaker pieces, like chairs and boxes, have always had a pull on us as designers,” explains Ladies & Gentlemen Studio’s Dylan Davis, adding that working with the museum has “been an amazing opportunity to do a deeper dive into their culture.” Davis, who founded his multidisciplinary Brooklyn studio in 2010 with wife Jean Lee, believes historical principles of Shakerism can change how we look at contemporary life. For example, they reimagined one of the Shakers’ most intentionally designed furnishings that centers around a closely held belief: the workstation. The pair’s secretary-style iteration features just the right amount of room for everyday items while allowing them to be concealed at the end of the day ladiesandgentlemenstudio.com

When going through the Shaker Museum’s collection, Katie Stout was drawn to colorful, sweet and soft objects— in other words, not the iconic pieces noted for minimalism.

And while the contemporary artist is drawn to the group’s “resourcefulness, simple solutions and entrepreneurial genius” she is also interested in the predominance of female makers and the role women played in propelling 19th century craft forward. katiestout.com

On the Move

Arriving in the United States around 1774, the Shakers were a Utopian sect who created a distinctly new design vernacular. Prioritizing function above all else, they favored simple, pared-down aesthetics that allowed an object’s materiality to shine. The group was also known for championing gender and racial equality, communal living and sustainability. At their peak in the 1900s, thousands of members resided throughout the Northeast, Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana.

Today, the Shaker Museum in Chatham, New York, continues to tell their story, showcasing the most comprehensive collection of art, furniture, objects and materials in the country—much of which was out of view for the last decade. The museum will soon enter a new iteration, and double in size, as it moves to a 19th-century industrial building within Colombia County, where Selldorf Architects and Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects are heading up interior and exterior renovations respectively. An inaugural Makers’ Circle, consisting of contemporary artists and designers, is collaborating with the museum’s leadership on institutional decisions. As executive director Lacy Schutz notes, “the Shaker Museum continues to convene and engage a community of creatives connected to its material culture and whose work is informed by it today.” shakermuseum.us

A HISTORICAL RENOVATION IS IN THE WORKS AT THE SHAKER MUSEUM.

As a direct response to a bonnet and cloak she found in the archives, the trail blazing artist created a whimsical chair out of muslin layered with ruffles and ruching. Stout describes the final result as “a silly, frilly duo of cloaked and bonnet-ed chairs joined in a permanent Shaker dance.”

Shown here in Oil Rubbed Brass with Rock Crystal, this original design is unmatched in style and quality. Produced according to the highest standards at Sherle Wagner International’s dedicated Massachusetts factory. Browse the Pyramid Collection at sherlewagner.com WallcoveringbyFromental.

A long-term commitment to exceptional design, outstanding quality and innovative ideas results in expertly crafted spaces that elevate people’s lives. Since 1985, the Bilotta family has been providing superior products and services for the kitchen, bath and beyond at Bilotta Kitchen & Home. “My father, Jim Bilotta Sr., was a home builder who started our business,” says Regina Bilotta. “Over the past 35 years, my brother Jim Jr., my sister Maria and I have worked together to carry on his legacy, which is being continued in exciting new ways by my daughter Sarah Witkin through her firm, Bilotta Architecture.” What sets this mother-daughter’s design collaborations and their highly respected firms apart? “Satisfying the functional wants and needs of our clients has been easy,” they say. “It’s with design and aesthetics that we are truly raising the bar and delivering something that exceeds our clients’ expectations and dreams.” BATH GREATER NEW YORK

Is it a tranquil and serene retreat for unwinding at the end of the day? Or is it the hustle and bustle of a lively kitchen for family gatherings? Perhaps a curated display of adventures traveled?

FROM EYE-CATCHING COLORS TO A MÉLANGE OF PATTERNS, TODAY’S KITCHENS AND BATHS PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS.

WRITTEN BY ALYSSA BIRD

Drake/Anderson filled this Manhattan kitchen with striking touches, like custom cabinetry in Benjamin Moore’s Vermont Slate, Oyster White marble countertops, Mondrian-esque stone flooring, artwork by Melinda Hackett and an Apparatus light fixture.

Bold Moves

LIVING CTIKHEN+BATH

Jamie Drake and Caleb Anderson, the design duo behind Drake/Anderson, are known for their stylish schemes and a penchant for producing luxurious, impactful spaces. So, when their clients—a couple who had just purchased an apartment in a new Manhattan building—wanted to gut their kitchen in favor of injecting some personality and color, the designers were more than happy to oblige. “We landed on a beautiful blue for the cabinetry, which looks rich, sophisticated and playful,” Anderson says of the chosen hue: Benjamin Moore’s Vermont Slate. The painted custom cabinetry also cam ouflages all appliances and even houses a semi-walk-in pantry and breakfast bar. “The color was the biggest point of departure, and the marble came second,” Anderson continues. “The client loves interesting stones, and this room has three! The Oyster White marble on the countertops and backsplash is highly gestured with organic veining, while the White Thassos and Blue de Savoie marbles on the floor are laid in a geometric Mondrian-style pattern but they all marry together wonderfully.” Another focal point is the plush L-shape banquette, which is built into the back of the peninsula, saving valuable square footage and giving the room a nice sense of movement. This informal dining nook is visually connected to the prep area with a large lighting piece from Apparatus overhead while artwork by Melinda Hackett enlivens the entire space. “This kitchen isn’t huge,” Anderson says, “but it certainly feels dynamic.” drakeanderson.com

Both the brass-sheathed wet bar and kitchen are located in a London residence. rizzoliusa.com

“It’s fun combining details that feel antique or old-world with those that are more modern. Textural connections unite a space, such as the glass cabinetry and hammeredbrass island here.”

For his third collaboration with Ann Sacks, designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard embraced his love of historic fabrics. The new Eutopia line of glass mosaics features ﬁve botanical patterns—three of which are based on wallcovering motifs previously conceived by Bullard, including Sultan’s Garden (shown)—in 49 custom shades. “This collection was born out of my passion for East-Indian and Middle-European textiles,” Bullard says, “which often contain magical patterns depicting the Tree of Life and Mughal ﬂowers.” annsacks.com HEADSHOT: COURTESY DESIGNER.

What an interesting vanity! The custom L-shape vanity was purely an aesthetic choice. The client didn’t have a need for storage below, which allowed us to do something a bit di erent with the design. For the wallpaper installation, we mimicked the form of the vanity and extended it from one accent wall up to the ceiling. shannonmurrayinteriors.com COURTESY DESIGNER.

Talk to us about the brass accents. We carried the subtle gold shimmer in the wallpaper through to the modern brushed-brass Kohler sink ﬁ xtures. Lucky for us, the client already had the metallic mirror from her previous home, and it worked perfectly with the round sconce from Arteriors.

For a residence in Rye, New York, designer Shannon Murray Petruzello of Shannon Murray Interiors envisioned a glamorous powder room inspired by her client’s favorite color.

“This home was originally built in the 1980s, so we did a full renovation of the ﬁrst ﬂoor— including this existing powder room—in order to modernize it for a young family,” explains Murray Petruzello, who paired a cool marbleized wallpaper by Schumacher with Benjamin Moore’s Cable Knit Sweater on the remaining walls.

What did the client want for this powder room? The only mandate was to incorporate blue, so we gave this bath a ‘wow’ factor using many shades of the vibrant hue. I really enjoy creating one-of-a-kind powder rooms—they are truly the best space to do something out of the ordinary.

MODERN HISTORY

Illa Gaunt brings a masters in art history and a post-graduate diploma in modern and contemporary art from Christie’s Education in London to her Houston-based boutique advisory. Keen to share her passions, she transformed her Instagram account (@_ig_art) into a platform for accessible arts education. illagauntart.com

Nightstand companion: Tell Them I Said No by Martin Herbert—a collection of essays by artists, including David Hammons (a hero of mine), who were creating for the purpose of transaction but ultimately retreated from the art world. Unforgettable institution: Fondation Beyeler in Switzerland, which was started by a Swiss dealer couple with an incredible modern art collection. The building was designed by Renzo Piano—it’s very special. Ar tists to watch: Rebecca Ness, Delphine Desane, Cindy Ji Hye Kim, Chibuike Uzoma and Vamba Bility. Don’t miss: The Independent Fair in New York this September, which will focus on overlooked 20 th century artists. Paul Claude Gardère, the first Haitian artist in residency at the Studio Museum in Harlem, will be on view—I’m excited about that. Next frontier: Starting a monthly dinner series where artists, clients and board members can discuss changes that need to be made at the institutional level.

Making headlines: The art world is bonkers right now with long waiting lists for new works, sold-out shows and record-breaking auction prices. See: Louise Bourgeois’ Spider sold for $40 million at Art Basel and Andy Warhol’s Marilyn sold last May for $195 million, breaking auction records for an American artist. Looking forward: Amanda Baldwin’s vibrant landscapes are on my radar. I’m excited about her upcoming show at Hesse Flatow in New York City. Hot spot: Berlin has amazing contemporary galleries like Soy Capitán and Wentrup. Sunday school: In 2019, I began presenting Sunday art history lessons on Instagram Live and developed a sizable following during the pandemic. Topics have ranged from art movements like Dada, to the intellectual explosion that took place at Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, to deeper dives into artists like Ruth Asawa. Treasure trove: I find new talent through critical reviews and art fairs like NADA Miami that focus on younger galleries and emerging artists. Highlight reel: Amoako Boafo: Soul of Black Folks at Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (on view through early October) is a gorgeous show. The way he approaches portraiture with both spirit and brush, as well as his signature finger painting, is inspiring. Collector’s mantra: Buy what you love. The intrigue and attraction should feel instinctual.

A Brooklynite by way of Haiti, Gardy St. Fleur built his practice showing beginner collectors the ropes—and joys—of the art world. As business grew, he drilled down on introducing emerging, as well as historically overlooked, talents to budding collectors, adding mentorship and management of working artists along the way. saintfleur.com

New currency: With the rise of NFT’s, the art world has even more accessible paths for all. We sell NFT COAs, which allow us to include a contract in the sale encompassing royalties, so that every time the artwork trades, the artist makes 10 percent. This can be life-changing because artists don’t make a percentage of secondary sales, which is where prices often make headlines. Gallery crush: Del Vaz Projects by Jay Ezra Nayssan. Jay operates a galleryfarmstead from his home in Santa Monica. There’s also an apothecary that sells everything from Persian tea to CBD lavender salve. It’s wonderful to see curators bringing a more artful approach to retail and vice-versa. One to watch: Lisa Dengler. We just signed her and are so excited about her paintings and stone sculptures. On deck: Opening our first physical gallery. I want it to be a place that anyone can walk into and find something—almost like a vinyl store.

When Chelsea Neman Nassib founded Tappan Collective 10 years ago, online-native galleries were a novelty.

RAINBOW CONNECTION

Anchored in New York with satellite locations in the American West and overseas, the Dia Art Foundation is a force in the nonprofit space. For Humberto Moro—newly-appointed deputy director of program—evolving exhibitions, publications and public engagement is intrinsically linked to telling an even more inclusive history of art. diaart.org

Inspiration fix: One of the realms where truly original ideas are born is science fiction, and that is most of what I recreationally read these days. Ted Chiang and Liu Cixin are authors that I come back to. Arts destination: The vibrancy and creative freedom of Mexico City are rare—there’s always something unexpected. Hot topic: One of the most important subjects being discussed in the world at large, is the essential right to project different realities and possible futures. I’ve seen so many resonances with this idea. One example is the Venice Biennale, titled The Milk of Dreams curated by Cecilia Alemani, which, from specific art history perimeters, questions the agency of imagination. Pièce de résistance: Few things compare to The Lightning Field (1977) by Walter De Maria—a land art work in New Mexico in the Dia’s collection. De Maria used to say that every great artwork should have at least 10 meanings, and the myriad of ideas that can be interconnected to this piece is almost unfathomable. The way in which one experiences it, and what one can obtain from that experience, speaks directly a bout what we do at Dia.

Fantasy acquisitions: Anything ever made by Carrie Mae Weems! If I could extend the spree, I’d buy a Carlton bookcase by Ettore S ottsass, a Cecily Brown painting, a Sam Moyer sculpture and a large wall piece by this little-known artist named Sol LeWitt. Dreaming big: I’d love to expand this concept, potentially in partnership with institutions. It’s also my hope that my team continue to spearhead consistent public programming that’s accessible to people of every age, color and educational background.

Frustrated by the quality of studio space in New York City, artist Stef Halmos saw an opportunity to develop her dream resource. She set her sights on three historic mills in the Hudson Valley, converting them into Foreland: a vibrant arts campus spanning galleries, studios, collective workspace, public programming and event spaces—all built to create agency for working artists. forelandcatskill.com; stefhalmos.com

Life-changing institution: The Noguchi Museum in Queens. It taught me how to sit quietly and take a long look. Coming up: This spring, we’re hosting an event curated by Art Handler. I can’t reveal too much, only that it’s a multi-event experience not to be missed! We’re also slated to have a show by New York City’s Bortolami Gallery featuring Robert Bordo.

Los Angeles-based advisor Nancy Gamboa specializes in developing private collections of cultural significance. Enhancing this pillar, she founded Botanica Fine Art, a digital initiative that promotes visibility for Latinx artists. nancyagamboa.com; botanica-fine-art.com

PAGE TURNER

On deck: The first show scheduled for next year is called Alchemy and features Black artists from around the United States, including Thornton Dial, Wifredo Lam and Emma Amos. It’s a group show around this idea that in marginalized communities, there’s an innate call to take whatever you have and turn it into something that transcends its first state of being. Virtual reality: During the pandemic, galleries introduced 3-D viewing rooms. This technology had been around too long for us to be suffering from the 2-D aspects of photography! Now anyone can experience sculpture in 3D; you can even see surveys of the Whitney Biennial on YouTube. It’s a beautiful thing about the world we live in. Arresting artist: Ilídio Candja Candja, who was born in Mozambique around the time they won their independence from Portugal. He paints these beautiful abstractions around the influences of colonization. Lasting impression: The exhibition What is Left Unspoken, Love at Atlanta’s High Museum achieved true resonance. Fair game: Atlanta is 49 percent black. Generally speaking, art in the South is so much more diverse than what is currently being seen. Our programming moving forward will be reflective of this.

Donovan Johnson joined Bill Lowe Gallery 10 years ago, where he gracefully ascended the ranks. Upon the passing of his beloved mentor, for which the gallery is named, last December, Johnson was appointed executive director, tasked with ushering the Atlanta institution into its next chapter. lowegallery.com

Industry buzz: There’s been a lot of talk about works by young artists reaching upwards of six figures privately and at auction. Three factors contributed to this phenomenon: newly-created crypto wealth, which added diverse buyers to the market, trillions in American dollars printed and a lack of primary access to work for new collectors. Fall happenings: September 2 marks the first installment of the Frieze Art Fair in Seoul. I’m excited to see what happens when the art world meets the sophistication of South Korea’s artists, institutions and collectors. Closer to home, the September opening of Hauser & Wirth in West Hollywood will be a treat for Angelenos. Buoyed by: The increased presence of Latinx, AAPI and BIPOC run galleries, including Commonwealth and Council (LA), Regular Normal (NYC), LaPau (LA), Calderón (NYC), Mariane Ibrahim (Chicago), Sow & Tailor (LA), Make Room (LA) and Estrella (NYC). Collecting 101: With so much art in the world, working around themes of identity, geography, medium, or a combination of three, can help focus decision-making while creating depth.

A New York penthouse becomes a salon in the sky by channeling the aesthetic of its landmark location.

In turn, Kobus imagined spaces in close conversation with an array of newly acquired artworks, which the homeowner sought out almost as soon as she had signed the contract. And, to balance the unit’s traditional rectangular configuration and give each piece its own spotlight, Kobus set about crafting, in his words, “rooms within rooms.” He achieved this effect using sultry textures and moody hues to establish an intimate envelope that draws visitors into conversation with the pieces. “The apartment has that salon kind of feel with lots of tactile elements, which gives real depth and dimension to the experience,” the designer adds.

Given this cosmopolitan pedigree, it makes sense that the address would appeal to a bicoastal fashiontech CEO who frequently touches down in the city for everything from investor meetings to designer runway shows. Inspired by the building’s history and architecture, she tasked her longtime designer Martin Kobus with infusing the sunlit corner unit with as many dazzling details as possible.

“The apartment was a clean slate with a great floor plan and amazing amenities,” shares the Bay Area-based designer, who saw in his client’s new Manhattan abode the opportunity for a bold, urbane and art-filled pied-à-terre. “The owner has been passionate about collecting art for a long time” he notes. “She wanted ambiance and a real New York City vibe—almost as though we were designing a gallery of her own.”

N ew York City has plenty of posh addresses, but few rival the penthouse apartments of the Woolworth Building. Nestled on the upper 30 floors of the 1913 neoGothic-style tower, these luxury residences were carved out by legendary French architect Thierry Despont—he of the Statue of Liberty’s restoration—melding Old World flair with modern sophistication.

With its sky’s-the-limit attitude and parade of eye-catching flourishes, the finished result—which sits in the clouds in what was once the tallest building in the world—feels a fitting retreat for a high-style, high-powered entrepreneur. And like all great art, the seeming effortlessness of its beauty belies the careful calculations behind each stroke. “The apartment is chic and elevated, but still very comfortable and livable, too” adds Kobus, noting his client’s ultimate stamp of approval: “When she’s watching TV in the media room, or having a Campari at the bar, she’ll text me about how much she loves living here.”

Throughout the residence, the designer’s selections of furnishings and decor similarly act as artwork in their own right. A beaded wallcovering in the hallway leading to the bedrooms evokes the sequins of a haute couture gown, while, in the dining room, a set of 3D-printed resin chairs mimicking smoky glass feature an exaggerated shape that Salvador Dalí would approve of. In the media room, the overlapping circular tops of a mirrored cocktail table are complemented by the gold-leaf spheres of a custom de Gournay wallcovering that looks like it could be a holdover from the building’s heyday. And, in the primary bedroom—a decidedly breezy and feminine space that serves as a visual reprieve from the otherwise moody Manhattan aesthetic—pendants of pastel Murano glass and crystal dangle like jewels against an abstract mural backdrop. Even the throw pillows peppered about the home carry through an artistic thread with their geometric, Escherlike patterns that nod to cubism.

Take the living room’s hand-decorated eglomisemirror panels, which are gilded and painted behind the surface rather than atop it. They play off a 24-karat Golden Bambi sculpture by Jasmin Anoschkin tucked in a corner, while Kobus’ selection of a large-scale serpentine sofa clad in alpaca-wool bouclé offers a perfect perch for observing it all.

The media room’s jewel-box effect comes courtesy of a bespoke gilded wallcovering by de Gournay. A mirrored-glass cocktail table by Gaspare Asaro complements it, as do a swivel chair from Anthropologie and a sleeper sofa by Kobus Interiors swathed in a Donghia fabric.

A fiber artist’s painterly approach to the loom yields works of boundary-bending beauty.

Striking a Chord

In a sunlit studio in Gowanus, Brooklyn, Takeda’s wooden handlooms creak and crack as she experiments with composition, pushing the limits of textile traditions. Her early training centered on Mingei, the Japanese folk art movement that “believed beauty came from people’s everyday lives,” she explains. “But as I got older, I realized art alone has a function, too: for people to view it and feel it.” So she sought out other creative avenues, leading ambitious productions while studying at London’s Royal College of Art, and later joining the New York studio of textile designer Jack Lenor Larsen. These experiences provided a rich foundation for launching her own practice in 2010.

raditional weaving is ruled by order, patiently shuttling back and forth to form a cohesive whole. Yet threads become unruly, even rebellious, in the hands of Hiroko Takeda. In her abstract works, fiber dissolves into gossamer webs or unravels completely, hanging in thick fronds. It undulates in silken waves or tightens into geometric, threedimensional structures—sometimes all in the same piece. Far from stationary, her enigmatic tapestries bristle with life.

It is this painterly approach that attracts commissions from designers, exhibitions at New York’s Egg Collective and Colony galleries, as well as a residency at The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation. Indeed, the history of Takeda’s chosen medium informs the roots of her practice, but her progressive works always begin and end on the loom, reverberating with possibility.

T

Though weaving is methodical, Takeda embraces improvisation. Her process begins with sketches and maquettes before moving to the loom, “where I change and adjust as I weave,” the artist says. All of her recent pieces toy with visual weight, combining loose and taut textures. “I love a chaotic moment contrasted against something neat,” she notes. Her material roster includes natural cotton, wool, linen, silk and fluffy mohair, as well as metallic threads for light-catching buoyancy. All of these yarns are featured in Takeda’s ongoing “Giant Waffle” series, which is defined by rigid, sculptural grids. Conversely, she weaves translucent nylon filaments to conjure glistening waters in pieces like Matsushima, a gauzy abstract landscape inspired by Japan’s pine-forest islets. “I play with different fibers the way a painter changes the thickness of their line,” she explains.

Artist Hiroko Takeda’s Brooklyn studio is a treasure trove of yarn spools (below). Swatches, sketches and mood boards (left) share the space with fiber works in progress (bottom left and right).

If Walls Could Talk

A symphony of handcrafted finishes acts as artwork in a family’s Brooklyn townhome.

For the adjacent dining room, Fuller selected a gleaming, hand-painted scenic floral wallpaper, whose pewter background was chosen to complement the room’s formal furnishings and high-style contemporary chandeliers—an eclectic mix that speaks to the couple’s appreciation for creative expression. Rather than employing the wallcovering in a conventional manner, Fuller instead created a dynamic setting by amplifying the scale of certain scenes and framing them with molding. “We wanted to bring the birds, trees and butterflies to life and magnify them. It draws you into a story,” she notes. And while the same motif is repeated across the hall in the living room, continuing the visual thread of conversation, the effect is anything but repetitive. Of her studied approach to laying out panels in episodic progressions, Fuller explains: “If you’re walking through a magical forest, you never see the same tree twice.”

Giving the impression of a 1920s-era town house despite the fact that it was recently built from the ground up, the residence was meticulously designed by Fuller and architect David Y. Shteierman. Heeding their clients’ wish for elegance and sophistication imbued with a sense of history, the design team conceived a grand residence distinguished by robust classical details. Elaborate plaster moldings, coffered ceilings, a formal layout and large-scale rooms graciously accommodate the couple plus their children and grandchildren, along with the many guests they entertain.

Fuller concedes that assembling this patchwork of trades and custom details entailed a great deal of planning. But, as complex as delivering this house may have been, she firmly believes the effort was worth it. “We went the distance and pushed the boundaries,” says the designer. “And that’s what takes a house from beautiful to great.”

A rt has been a pillar of Nicole Fuller’s life from the very beginning. Born to an artist mother, raised in the industry and now married to a painter, Fuller is as steeped in fine art as she is in interior design. When the opportunity presented itself to envision a new home in Brooklyn for her very first clients—a stylish couple whose previous home was filled with an extensive blue-chip collection—the designer took the bold step of merging her two passions and doing something neither she nor they had done before. “I thought, ‘Why not try something different?’ ” she recalls, adding: “My concept for this house was that the walls themselves would be works of art in lieu of paintings and sculptures.”

Yet the house manages to eschew a strictly traditional designation thanks to its singular, imaginative framework. “Because the bones of this home have such form, beauty and elegance, I wanted to create finishes that were 100 percent unique,” Fuller explains. The entry and stair tower offer a noteworthy example. Working closely with a team of artisans, the designer canvased the three-story space with layers of molded Italian plaster, creating a subtly textured abstract pattern enhanced by a smooth, iridescent finish. “I wanted it to look like you’re staring at a pearl,” she says. “It’s white, essentially, but it’s forever changing throughout the day and can look pale gray, pastel pink and sometimes powder blue.”

LUXESOURCE.COM230

The designer credits a team of skilled craftspeople, whom she considers fine artists, with helping her realize her vision. “By working together so closely and understanding their art, we were able to create incredible things,” she says. Take the downstairs seating nook, whose luxurious details include diamondpatterned plasterwork, tufted upholstered walls and a metalcraft mirror that is more akin to a sculpture. Upstairs, in the couple’s bedroom, walls that appear to be boiserie are actually panels of reclaimed wood to which plaster artists have added ornate reliefs with a matte finish. Even the room’s drapery could be considered a work of art: Inspired by the frayed seams of a Lanvin dress, the curtains are sewn in such a way that their two coordinating fabrics look as though they have been ripped apart then stitched back together.

A glamorous vestibule gives visitors a taste of the enticing architecture and singular details to come. Tucked in a niche of custommolded pearlized Italian plaster is a floating console by interior designer Nicole Fuller topped with a vintage objet from Flair.

To showcase his clients’ art collection, designer Ryan Lawson covered entry hall walls in a pale Phillip Jeffries grass cloth. The apartment is a trove of curios, including a rare stool by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and two Man Ray photographs. The chandelier is a 1950s French find.

bedroom. “These synchronicities help tie the rooms together,” Lawson adds. “With a collection so varied, it helps to have themes reappear.”

arely is a dorm room—home of unframed posters and “decorative” shot glasses— the basis for choosing one’s interior designer. But for a pair of native New Yorker art collectors, all signs pointed back to Ryan Lawson’s collegiate quarters. “Long before hiring Ryan, we knew him as a student,” recalls the wife of her son’s friend at Washington University in St. Louis. “Ryan’s space was unlike anyone else’s. It was clear even then that he had a great eye.”

Indeed, the collaborative aspects of the project made the journey all the more enjoyable. While Lawson respected the homeowners’ “encyclopedic knowledge” of their pieces, deferring to them when they had strong feelings about art placement, the couple conversely deferred to Lawson’s longtrusted sense of style and composition. “Ryan sees things through a fresh, creative lens, and he layers elements in a way that invites conversation,” says the wife. “He knows us and understood that it was never about creating a pristine environment, but a comfortable one.”

The living room’s George Nakashima coffee table, for example, is a piece they bought in the 1980s and have lived with and loved ever since. Lawson’s task entailed curating from his clients’ existing furniture, art and objects, “and by understanding the way they live, creating a tidy, edited version for them—the most realized version of their collection,” he explains. That translated to filling in furniture gaps, selecting wallcoverings and swapping out lighting fixtures for either French vintage or modern ones—“to add a jolt of contemporary,” comments the designer. As a nod to their beloved coffee table, he found a Nakashima dresser for the primary

The admiration went both ways. “We became fast friends,” says Lawson. “One college break they invited me to their home, which at the time was a five-story brownstone, and it made such an impression on me. Everything was so beautifully personal and full of wonderful objects that really told their story.” When that story evolved into purchasing a grand apartment on Central Park West, the couple promptly tapped Lawson to compose the next chapter.

Part of the residence’s appeal was that, architecturally, it was good to go. The existing moldings and trim were in great shape, as were the elegant white oak herringbone floors. Bathed in park-side sunlight, it was the perfect setting to give their cherished artwork and photography pride of place. “My husband has been collecting photographs for over 40 years,” notes the wife. The duo’s ever-evolving roster includes works “from the very beginning of photography to contemporary,” she says, adding: “We choose art the same way we choose furniture—because it’s interesting to our eye. Not as an investment, but as a way of seeing the world.”

In the entry hall, a silvery grass-cloth wallcovering is a subtle, textured backdrop for two Man Ray photographs displayed alongside a rare bench by Scottish artist and architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. In the adjacent living room, the moody, black-and-white striated effects of works by Edward Burtynsky and Doug and Mike Starn harmonize with each other. A 1930s Portuguese needlepoint rug—“one of my favorite finds ever,” notes Lawson—anchors the space, joining a pair of the couple’s beloved 1950s French armchairs. “I built the room around them,” says the designer, who modernized the milieu by adding a pair of curvy mohair-covered chairs and embroidered plaid drapes with a Viennese flair. Throughout the apartment, intriguing materials, textures and forms spark ongoing dialogue with artworks, furnishings and objets. In the dining room, Lawson paired a charred-wood-and-bronze table with contemporary chairs upholstered in a graphic, red-and-white-patterned fabric (“to amp them up a bit,” he says) and juxtaposed an antique Chinese demilune with another atmospheric Burtynsky landscape. And a console designed by Lawson in the living room showcases the owners’ collection of book art by Richard Minsky, founder of the Center for Book Arts and a world-renowned bookbinder. “It’s one the largest collections of Minsky’s work in the country,” shares Lawson. Observing the scene from the mantel, a pair of Italian santos, or “old saints,” bless the room, though their prominence may well be shortlived. “Every time I come visit, there’s a new arrangement,” the designer laughs. “With some clients that could be a nightmare, but with them it’s always interesting and dynamic.”

Lawson mixed the owners’ George Nakashima coffee table and 1950s French lounge chairs with a needlepoint rug from Antique Rug Studio. They join a chandelier and mohair-covered chairs, both by Studio Van den Akker. An Edward Burtynsky piece graces the mantel while Doug and Mike Starn artwork hangs above the sofa.

Above: In addition to its Central Park West location, part of the apartment’s appeal was that it required little renovation. In the kitchen, existing custom cabinetry received a coat of Benjamin Moore’s Graystone—Lawson’s favorite—to set off green-marble countertops.

Opposite: A 1950s French olive wood desk is joined by a Victorian armchair for work sessions with a view. Indigo-wool wall-to-wall carpeting from Beauvais Carpets provides both a color punch and a cozy underlay.

Opposite: In the primary bath, Lawson selected Kiki Smith for Studio Printworks’ Maiden and Moonflower wallpaper for its whimsical “metaphysical feel,” he says. Sconces from Circa Lighting have an easy job, thanks to plenty of natural light.

Above: The primary bedroom features hand-finished plaster walls and a rare Nakashima dresser that nods to the living room’s coffee table. A contemporary sconce from Donzella illuminates a custom bed. By the window, an antique Austrian bench is framed by sheer drapes of Casamance mohair.
