LETTER EDITOR’S
All Your Own Of the many design evolutions the past year has wrought, one of the most striking has been that our homes are becoming more finely tuned to what we desire. The interiors we inhabit are less showpiece and more a statement about personal expression. Honestly, after 2020, does anyone care anymore about impressing the neighbors? As priorities shift, our homes are designed with greater intention and with individual style emerging. In this issue, we turn to several creatives to hear how their flair manifests. This issue also celebrates our GOLD LIST: design professionals from across the country whose projects graced our pages the past year. We greatly admire the taste and talent they bring to their work. As for me, I’m a creative at heart who relishes nesting at home. I’ve been on-again/off-again painting my fireplace wall. I didn’t think too long and hard about the pattern...or about the effort! Rather, it’s a moment that sparks joy. As we head into this new year, I wish you much happiness in your own home.

SCENE WRITTEN BY MAILE PINGEL
COLOR THEORY “It just looks magical!” replies textile and wallpaper designer Paige Cleveland when asked why hand-marbling has remained popular for centuries. “There’s something soothing about the shapes and the process itself.” Now, with her first collection of digitally printed textiles called Maquette (four patterns in a selection of natural colors), limitations of a one-off design are a thing of the past. Luxe chatted with Cleveland to get the scoop on her work. ruleofthreestudio.com Why add digital to your oeuvre? We love creating beautiful patterns but had to shelve experiments since we couldn’t replicate them. It’s a labor of love, but with advances in digital printing we can scan them, put them into repeat and print, and they still look handmade. And why the name Maquette? Because it’s a peek into our archive of prototypes—the process before the product. Tell us about your other new venture, California Collective. I’ve partnered with friends and fellow textile makers Alexis Hartman of Lake August and Brook Perdigon to create a unique sales collective in our home state of California. We’re selling our collections through a shared representative to better cater to designers’ needs. We’re competitors, but we motivate and support each other, and together our designs are such a nice mix.

TALKING SHOP NATASHA BARADARAN LINENS
DESIGN
When Natasha Baradaran launched her eponymous textile collection in 2019, little did she know it would lead to a new tabletop line, Natasha Baradaran Linens. What’s more, it sparked her new online boutique, NB Shop. “If I’d planned it, it wouldn’t have worked out this way,” she says. Here, she shares the story behind her epiphany. natashabaradaran.com
SCENE
How did the idea come about? I have an extensive collection of tableware, and since we were all at home, setting the table became a creative outlet. I thought, “Well, that fabric would be pretty with those plates,” so I had a few tablecloths made. Then it became napkins and place mats. Why release them in limited runs? It allows me to do something that’s fulfilling at the moment while helping to keep my Los Angeles workrooms going. Tell us about the jelly bean-shaped place mats. Who said place mats have to be rectangular or circular? It’s all about fluidity and evolution. You’ll find the shape in my Cuff console too, which was inspired by a bracelet. That’s me in a nutshell: One thing leads to another. Where do you see the shop going? I’m enjoying the idea of the shop because it allows me to add things as I discover them; items like glassware or plates. It’s whatever I am seeing now and want to share.
POST MASTER WHO: Pasadena-based designer Jeanne K. Chung is known for an eclectic aesthetic and rooms that are layered, balanced and visually compelling. WHAT: She uses Instagram stories to document how her projects come to life, from first meetings and shopping to installation day, and she shows the finished result, plus daily musings, on her feed. WHY: With a new showroom about to debut (it will include a co-working space, resource library and demonstration kitchen), as well as her redesign of the 2018 Pasadena Showcase House, there will be plenty to see this year. IN HER WORDS: “Everything I post is a journey through my own lens, as I happen to encounter things throughout the day that inspire me. I don’t like to just post pretty things but instead want what I post to tell a story about what I see and how I think.”

AFTER 20 YEARS IN THE DESIGN BUSINESS, THOMAS LAVIN HAS SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT THE FUTURE.
SET IN STONE WHAT’S NEW FROM NEOLITH WRITTEN BY LORI CAPULLO
New year, new Neolith: The brand that put sintered stone on the global map has launched its Six-S range of surfaces, inspired by the natural world and the battle against COVID-19. Designed to be solidary, sanitary, strong, stylish, sensory and sustainable, there’s one “s” that wasn’t a part of the Six-S range: sacrifice. All six offerings are every bit as luxurious, prepossessing and meticulously finished as traditional Neolith products. The Six-S range comprises Himalaya Crystal, an homage to the Himalayan salt crystal landscapes; Abu Dhabi White, inspired by the UAE capital’s Sheikh Zayed Mosque; Amazonico (right), which calls to mind the ascension from the darkness of the rainforest floor to the lighter tones of tree canopies overhead; Winter Dala, nodding to the pines that encircle Sweden’s Lake Siljan; Summer Dala, mimicking the texture of freshly cut timber, and Layla, inspired by One Thousand and One Arabian Nights. And it’s not just environmental consciousness that Neolith is staying in step with—the company also has a new digital platform, Neolith Virtual Experience, which brings more than 50 colors and finishes straight from the showroom to the customer’s home. neolith.com

Many take the occasion of an anniversary to look back, but Thomas Lavin’s eyes are on what’s to come. After realizing there were a wealth of luxury goods not represented on the West Coast, Lavin opened his first eponymous to-the-trade showroom in the Pacific Design Center in 2000, and a second 14 years later in the Laguna Design Center. Luxe chatted with him about his vision for 2021. thomaslavin.com
What have you learned? Maintain a cool demeanor, even when you are sweating under the collar. Never raise your voice. Remove the word “no” from your vocabulary and replace it with, “Yes, and….”
The Thomas Lavin showroom is 20 years old. What’s that like? In Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, a character is asked how he lost his money, and he says, “Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.” That’s how the years have passed; it feels like we just started, yet time has gone by quickly.
How will the pandemic change the industry? I’m not sure we’ll know until it’s in the rearview mirror, but I can tell you that we are offering more service and more care since it started, and I think that’s going to go even deeper. No matter what new technology develops, this business has always been about relationships and trust.
You’ve been responsible for discovering design talent. Who are some favorites? We were the first to carry furniture by Gary Hutton and Jiun Ho (left). When I couldn’t find the right light fixture, I asked Kevin Kolanowski to make one, and Fuse Lighting was born. I’m excited about Alexander Purcell Rodrigues—I love the sculptural aspect of his furniture and the mix of materials. I’m also excited about fabric companies, including James Malone Fabrics and Tibor.

The new Moda Domus tabletop line includes a full collection of Fiorito ceramic ware, doublerimmed scalloped linens, Murano glassware and candlesticks.
When Lauren Santo Domingo founded the online luxury retailer Moda Operandi in 2010, it was clothes and shoes—not place mats and flatware—that got her pulse racing. Fast forward to today, and Santo Domingo, a passionate connoisseur of beautiful china, glassware and table linens, has come to embrace her decidedly more “domestic side.” The fashion executive recently debuted Moda Domus, a tabletop collection for Moda Operandi that reflects a love of relaxed yet elegant entertaining. Luxe caught up with the stylish entrepreneur sheltering at home with her family in Southampton. What’s your new normal like these days? In the city, I used to love going out for coffee before heading to the office. Now, I make my own coffee and sip it wandering in my garden, often in my slippers. I haven’t worn heels in nine months. I bought my first sweatsuits, one from Cotton Citizen and a cashmere one from Madeleine Thompson. Though I can’t help but think of what Karl Lagerfeld said about how wearing sweatpants was like giving up on life! Ha! Although, it looks like you’ve found a creative outlet in flower arranging. Completely. I’ve gotten really into growing

flowers and floristry. I used to measure my seasons through fashion, and now I’m marking time based on what flowers are coming in, whether it’s hellebores or lily of the valley or sweet peas. I’ve been buying antique vases and vessels from auction sites. So, how did you develop your interest in tabletop? It actually started with the business. As Moda grew internationally, we began having special dinners for designers and top clients. We put a lot of effort into our tables and decor, and the response was amazing. The next day people would be asking me, “Where can I get this?” I also enjoyed the creativity. Designing the tables felt much more satisfying than simply putting on something to wear. Describe the inspiration. I love heritage pieces that feel like something passed down or collected. I would say I’m very inspired by my mother in law, who is very elegant and entertains beautifully. She and her friends have incredible collections of porcelain and silver from a range of makers and countries. Does that sentiment show up in the Fiorito ceramics? Yes, it’s a pattern I saw at auction based on an 18th-century
Italian design. We found the original manufacturers and asked them to remake the pattern for us in pieces our clients would use today. Each piece is handpainted in Emilia-Romagna. Tell us about the Murano glassware. I’ve spent a lot of time in Venice collecting vintage Murano glass. The wine glasses with the swirled stem are based on an antique set I own from the turn of the century. The original glasses are smaller, almost the size of cordial glasses; we’ve updated them to modern scale. How do you envision the collection being used? Everybody has the gilt china and fabulous wine glasses they got as wedding gifts. But how often do they ever use them? This is much more casual— the way I like to entertain. It’s perfect for a lunch or casual dinner. I don’t use finger bowls or have butlers behind every chair, so why would I want an ornate and formal table setting? Let’s say you’ve arranged your table in the country with Moda Domus settings. What are your guests wearing? Hmmm. I could see them wearing a great knit sweater, a perfectly tailored trouser and a small heel. Casual but sophisticated.

Alessandra Branca walks us through her Chicago atelier, where one room is covered in her new Audrey wallpaper in Cerise & Loden and the sofa is upholstered in Garda Mohair in Mushroom. “I happen to love pattern play,” remarks the designer.
LUXESOURCE.COM
Get Alessandra Branca talking about color and the pace becomes waltz-like, her voice honeyed. As she walks me through the luscious palettes of Into the Woods, the second collection from her eponymous home brand, Casa Branca, I decide to abandon my interview prompts and just enjoy. We begin in a sea of mossy green swatches, a colorway she describes as “a play on the classics but updated with pops of acid.” Next, we’re onto pairings of powder blue and chocolate brown. “I love ying-yang, male-female coloring,” she exclaims. “We never see enough of this combination, and it’s so chic and wonderful!” And finally, we move into reds, a signature hue of the designer’s. “It’s fun; it’s pop; it’s cool,” she muses, adding, “Red keeps you coming back.” As with Branca’s first collection, the designs—which span fabric, wallpaper and a growing breadth of home furnishings and accessories—are meant to be mixed and matched, interwoven with future collections and shopped by color story. They’re also deeply influenced by travel. This round, the designer drew inspiration from a fantasy brief particularly well-suited to the times.

“I love Italy’s Sudtirol, and I’ve been wanting to do an old Tyrolean-style, A-frame mountain house in a fresh way,” she says. “The question of ‘What can I do to update that lifestyle?’ is really what this collection is about.” Such pointed wanderlust resulted in patterns like Verdure Camo, a riff on the popular 17th-century hunting tapestries that Branca reimagined and spunked up by fusing traditional motifs with camouflage, and Audrey, a 19th-century archive print reimagined with bulbous blooms of exaggerated scale and named after Little Shop of Horrors’ leading character. Rounding out the collection, a medley of Branca takes on faux bois, tartan, stripes and peacock marble, as well as solids in teddy-like mohair, creamy cotton velvet and stalwart linen, create a cocooning ethos that does seem to tap into some primordial, back-to-thewoods version of luxury.
LUXESOURCE.COM
Casa Branca’s Into the Woods debut includes (left, from top) Audrey in Bolzano, Umbra in Bolzano and Giordano Camo performance fabric in Bolzano. The collection’s earthy palette, shown on the mood board above, was inspired by the northern Italian city of Bolzano.
Fortunately, the still repose of the past year didn’t hinder the designer—who describes a perfect Saturday as one spent amidst a stack of books—from developing the second installment of Casa Branca (available now) in the throes of the pandemic, not to mention, successfully launching the brand
last June. “I didn’t have to go far,” she says. “I literally walked around my life. That’s where this all came from.” Inspiration begetting inspiration, I begin researching the Italian part of Tyrol I knew little about before meeting Branca—and aching to redecorate.

Reflecting on my personal aesthetic begins with memories of my mom’s colorful outfits and red lipstick. I grew up in a world of color and pattern—French, African and Far East Asian influences. At home, there were art and sculptures, such as the pair of elegant felines that live in my living room today. There were textiles, like the chinoiserie print with golden threads on the formal living room sofa. I remember the effortless mix—not expensive or formal, but unique and just right. Growing up in New Orleans, you learn being different can be a badge of honor. I am unabashedly a girly-girl. My mom used to dress me in ruffles, pinafores, lace socks and shiny patent leather shoes. With my Coke-bottle glasses, you can imagine it was quite a sight. After my time in college known as the “sweatpants era” and a start in finance I classify as the “how boring can this suit be” period, I began a return to my true innate spirit. Fashion and decor were the ways to express my creativity within the confines of my gray pinstripesuit world. Perhaps the white Phillip Lim dress with the 3D flowers, high-heel patent leather Mary Janes and black tights weren’t exactly office attire, but I didn’t let that stop me from strutting down the halls and turning a few heads. My passion for the decorative arts and design shone through my home decor during that formative time. I had eight apartments in 15 years just to redecorate. Crazy, but so much fun! I played—a Hershey’s chocolate dining room in my Midtown place, peacock blue-painted walls and ceiling in the Uptown bedroom, and even the perfect white in my highrise bachelorette pad. I spent years experimenting on myself—a big reason why I am unafraid to be bold in my work today.

Billy Ceglia in the sitting room of his client’s home in Armonk, New York.
Billy Ceglia True inherent style is an unerring and unapologetic point of view that can be translated into every aspect of an individual’s life. It informs everything the possessor does and has—from the way they answer the phone, welcome you into their home, dress, and of course, decorate their living spaces. In my own homes, I try to create a sense of ease and comfort to welcome guests—adopting small details like leaving the door unlocked and arranging empty hangers in the coat closet for their garments. I have a “help yourself ” attitude when it comes to refreshments or anything in my home. If you need it, it’s yours for the taking. Since I adhere to such a tight design lexicon of simple materials and shapes, and a relatively limited color palette, it has jokingly been said that my favorite color is “plain”—and I happily own that. While I appreciate the ornate and complex, my personal preference always circles back to a level of simplicity with a touch of the unexpected or tongue-in-cheek. It could be a few books with funny titles, such as Avery Monsen’s All My Friends Are Dead (a particular favorite), or a subtly subversive piece of art in an otherwise sober room. These same details are also a part of my wardrobe. What appears to be a classic menswear pattern could be made up of thousands of cartoon mice, or the lining of a jacket could be painted with illustrations from Albert Lamorisse’s The Red Balloon, with a secret message under the collar to “follow me.” Similar to my streamlined fashion choices, my interiors are filled with simple and practical fabrics, tailored furniture and timeless details that reflect an enduring point of view. This leaves room for my personality, which is neither “plain” nor uncomplicated!

It never occurred to me that my box of a city condo would become a homey shrine to my collection of eccentric things. A decade ago, I was in my early 20s, flailing in the aftermath of the recession and searching for a place to buy when my mom sold my childhood home. The panging feeling of my foundation being uprooted while simultaneously my family having no home of our own stuck with me. I think it’s why, despite my dreams of moving into an iconic San Francisco Victorian, I remain in my developer-built flat. As a result, a big part of how my style manifests is working within limitations. I like testing and pushing boundaries to see how many colors and patterns a room can handle before it feels uncomfortable. When I allowed myself to use my home as a canvas for experimentation, a new part of my creative brain unlocked. I found a 19th-century French sideboard to use as a bar and installed modern built-ins around it marrying my home’s modern lines with my love of antiquity. With decorative artist Caroline Lizarraga, I created a “conspicuous camouflage” mural on the walls with gilded brush lines. Then I had the idea for cartoonish tapestry-inspired blobby drapes and collaborated with artist Isa Beniston to bring funny dragons and lions to life in my windows. A defining moment early in my career was when I read that one of the ottoman seats in a room designed by Ken Fulk on a magazine cover was sourced from Costco. I thought, “His projects have budgets I can barely imagine, but he chose to leave that piece in!” It reaffirmed my principles: Keep what you love, work with things that don’t need replacement, put nothing on a pedestal and check your humility.

I’ll never forget the excitement when a bag of hand-me-downs from Wendy, a family friend, would appear on our kitchen table. On one occasion, the bag contained a powder pink tracksuit, the kind popular in the ’80s, and a far departure from the smocked Laura Ashley or appliqued Florence Eiseman dresses I normally donned for a special event. Ready for my best friend’s birthday party, I descended our staircase channeling my inner Wendy in the ensemble—my mousy brown hair newly coiffed with bangs and big glasses. Cloaked in the confidence of looking and feeling great, in my mind, I had arrived. Growing up in Lake Forest, Illinois, where architect David Adler was the patron saint and understated elegance reigned supreme, I was raised to appreciate the relaxed formality of my parents, my grandmother and their friends. While their homes were beautifully decorated, if you looked hard enough you would find an element of humor and whimsy. From miniature model rooms tucked within a library bookshelf and ladybug wallpaper adorning a formal powder room to miles of chintz covering windows and chairs, these houses reflected the confident ease of lives well lived and taught me to appreciate patina over polish. Real style does not seek the approval of others. It is the creative expression of those who possess it and have the confidence and joie de vivre to pull it off. Looking at photos from that birthday party where I’m wearing the powder pink tracksuit, I confess, I now prefer the pretty dresses my friends wore, though I am grateful for the encouragement from my parents to explore my own tastes. It is more than OK to stand out in a crowd.

ARTISTIC LICENSE W R I T T E N A N D P R O D U C E D BY S A R A H S H E LT O N
Gestural Meaning Carmen Neely’s artwork is not just a purely aesthetic object. Personal experiences, including being female, Black and American, all inform her work. Behind every brushstroke and color choice is intention and intuition, which stem directly from those experiences. Emotions of heartbreak (the impetus for the work shown above), disappointment, optimism, anger and joy are all equally important tools she employs in her work, as are the oil paints and physical ephemera that adorn her canvases.

ARTWORK: THE LONG ARC OF MEMORY, COURTESY BASIL KINCAID.
TREND MARKET
Connective Threads By creating and exploring various artforms, Basil Kincaid is on a quest for selfunderstanding in a culture that has quelled the Black experience. Kincaid comes from generations of female quilt makers, and years ago, dreamt of his grandmother standing in front of a house that was wrapped in a quilt. Shortly thereafter, he began sewing. These textural masterpieces honor a family tradition connecting him to his past and giving overdue recognition to those before him.

Portrait Mode The formation of bold, rich contrasts of color depict beautiful Black women in Grace Lynne Haynes’ paintings. While learned visual rhetoric often associates light and dark with good and evil, Haynes sees the disparity in the shades on the canvas as more harmonious than divisive. As for the subjects, the artist is determined to show her figures as graceful, demure and strong—the kind of complex attributes that Black women traditionally have not been afforded.

teeped in more than 80 years of shade history, family-owned and -operated Smith Shade has seen it all when it comes to window treatments. Enduring through five generations, the company started in the 1930s with the fabrication of roller shades. Forty years later, Smith Shade has evolved into motorization and integration at the behest of current president, Ralph Smith, who, with vice president Krista Smith-Neville and secretary/treasurer Kristie Smith, runs the company today. Passion remains at its core, with a focus on form and function, while meeting the needs of weather, sun and aesthetics. Serving the San Diego and Southern California market, external solutions for outdoor living are also paramount: think retractable awnings, pergolas, sail shades, motorized drop-down shades and louvered roof systems. These, in addition to interior roller shades, draperies, Roman shades and more are all fabricated at Smith Shade’s boutique factory. “We put our long family history and lifetime of knowledge to work, drawing from the past to build the future of window treatment design,” Ralph says.

Color packs a punch—especially in kitchens and baths, where a little fresh thinking goes a long way. Today’s au courant designs lean toward one lush hue: green. While associated with nature, the tone also evokes feelings of abundance, serenity, peace and security—all elements we could use right now (and always) in our homes. For designer Raili Clasen, a saturated forest-like shade served as a reference to the past when updating this kitchen in a historic California residence. “It’s an old-world color that seemed right at home in a new build,” says Clasen.
Raili Clasen chose Benjamin Moore’s Hunter Green for the cabinetry in this Coronado, California, kitchen she designed with architect Eric Olsen. Buster + Punch hardware and a Regulator faucet by Waterworks provide pretty brass accents while Community Manufacturing stools offer plush and stylish seating.

BATH + KITCHEN LIVING
PAST & PRESENT RAILI CLASEN
Coronado, the beautiful stretch of land off San Diego, has a storied history as both a resort town to the stars as well as an aviation and naval hub since the early 20 th century. So, when Raili Clasen’s clients asked her to renovate a dilapidated 1927 Dutch Farmhouse on the island that had once belonged to a Navy sea captain, she knew she wanted the design to nod to the home’s traditional roots. railicadesign.com How did you decide on that shade of green for the kitchen cabinetry? As with any vintage home renovation, I feel I have a responsibility to not turn the house into something it isn’t. For me, that means updating the space without it being modern. In terms of paint, I also wanted something somewhat unexpected and this green looked as though it could have been original to the residence—an ‘old’ color that worked wonderfully in the kitchen. Talk to us about the other materials you incorporated. We brought in reclaimed wood for the ceiling, which added a richness to the room while the waterfall marble island provided a light and bright element. Brass accents including the hardware, faucet and backsplash are really a reference to nautical tools and instruments, but they look so lovely with the green cabinetry.
In the dining area, Oscar pendants by Roman and Williams suspend above a Nickey Kehoe table surrounded by both Sawkille Co. and Nickey Kehoe seating.

Where is this dining space located? The kitchen, dining room and living room are actually part of one large area. I still love the open floor plan! Whenever I can, I try to bring nature inside, and the large planters under the windows have brass details that tie everything together. Things need friends, so the greenery here also references the paint used in the kitchen.

Mick De Giulio worked with Michael Abraham Architecture and designer Michael del Piero to create this sleek kitchen in Roselle, Illinois. The Juxtapose Semi-Professional Faucet in Matte Black by Mick De Giulio for Kallista features a pull-down spray head and Boost technology that increases water flow (shown here with Soap Dispenser).
LUXESOURCE.COM
For an elegant yet hardworking kitchen, look no further than Mick De Giulio, who has crafted award-winning spaces for more than 45 years and can teach us a thing or two about form and function. For his latest collaboration with Kallista, the designer kept technology and aesthetics top of mind when creating the Juxtapose collection, which includes a professional kitchen faucet with advanced cleaning features like Sweep spray and Boost. De Giulio focused on streamlined proportions and elegant aesthetics that fold a faucet into a room rather than make it a focal point. Take this Roselle, Illinois, project—a master class in mixed materials and refined touches. Various applications of stainless steel on the hood, countertops and hardware add a richness and reflection, while the iceberg quartzite backsplash keeps the mood light and airy. degiuliodesign.com; kallista.com

NATURAL INSTINCT CAITLIN MURRAY
“The most important principle in design for me is creating a space that you feel good living in every day,” says Caitlin Murray of Black Lacquer Design. But sometimes that idea can be interpreted in very different ways. Take, for example, this Redondo Beach, California, home, where Murray’s husband-and-wife clients had varying desires: One favored Hollywood Regency style and pattern while the other preferred a clean, tonal aesthetic. Eventually they landed on a fun, playful vibe in the powder room space, which Murray transformed into a jewel box of color and charm. No doubt, a win-win! blacklacquerdesign.com Where did you start? Everything was designed around the wallpaper. The clients travel to China and have a business there, so it was important to include something that referenced this connection. The Timorous Beasties wallcovering has such pretty patterning and motifs, which felt like the right fit to the homeowners. I’m always pushing for color, so I was thrilled it worked out!
The blue-and-green palette with pops of red works so well here. I think of greens and blues as reading neutral, so I’m usually able to convince clients to go for these colors. Besides, who doesn’t want to be surrounded by tones found in nature?
LUXESOURCE.COM

Speaking of color, how do approach it within your designs? I like to mentally establish a palette in my head, because I think that if you don’t stay within certain constraints, the scheme can feel all over the place and disconnected. Here, I used the wallpaper as a road map for the other elements in the bathroom, including the Vola red faucet.

THE
MAN ABOUT TOWN
There’s something universally captivating about a derelict building with a story to tell. Such was the line of thought that sparked a then-23-year-old Edo Mapelli Mozzi to found Banda, his boutique, London development firm specializing in converting unconventional character properties into bespoke residences. Fifteen years later, with projects sprinkled across the globe and a growing interior design wing (not to mention, a recent marriage to England’s Princess Beatrice of York), Mapelli Mozzi expounds on his distinct vision of residential luxury. bandaproperty.co.uk
In a name: Banda translates to “house” in Swahili. I’ve spent a lot of time in Lamu, Kenya, and source huge amounts of inspiration from the people and way of life there. I wrote my business plan from a “banda” in my early 20s. For me, the word conjures a feeling of simplicity. Design doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does have to stir emotions and promote well-being. Holistic approach: When I launched Banda, there was a gap in the market for a high-quality search, development and design business. Many developers take a cookie-cutter approach that isn’t true to life. Our aim was to offer something out of the ordinary with quality and experience at the core. Buyers want: There is a definite shift away from prime postcodes and pure new-build schemes. Our clients want personality through design, community and security. These elements work together to form a unique feeling of luxury. Market update: Buyers are extremely serious right now; there’s no window shopping. Likewise, sellers are motivated. Covid has put a lot into perspective and encouraged many to make lifestyle changes. One thing for certain is that properties with open outdoor spaces will be the ones that shine as we navigate this unprecedented time.

URBAN AFFAIR
With lifestyle flexibility top of mind, many are seeing the appeal of the pied-à-terre anew. Take the owners of this Manhattan apartment: a Connecticut couple with a passion for the arts. After finding the perfect part-time roost in a historic West Village carriage house studio, they tasked Brooklyn architect Sarah Jacoby with infusing function and romance. An immersive coat of Farrow & Ball’s Off-Black and a wall of custom built-ins (including a sleek compact kitchen) make the space “a fun and special retreat, not just a crash pad,” says Jacoby. “They met in and love New York. This is their ‘reverse country home.’ ” sarahjacobyarchitect.com

Old Digs: NYC apartment. New Digs: Colonial in the burbs. In her own words: We always knew we’d end up leaving the city, and when we stayed with my husband’s parents during the pandemic, we realized we genuinely liked the suburbs! When our lease came up, we pulled the trigger. Besides many coats of fresh paint, so far we’ve wallpapered and updated the kitchen. Eventually, we’d love to gut the bathrooms, but…one day at a time.
Old Digs: 1930s bungalow. New digs: Larger 1930s bungalow. In his own words: I recently got married, and my home was a bit small for two. L.A.’s market, amazingly, was thriving during Covid, so we struck while the iron was hot. I love a California Spanish Revival and our new home has it all: a curved staircase, grand rooms and great natural light. It’s so different (and exciting!) to design with a partner. It will be custom, curated and fabulous.
Old Digs: Downtown apartment. New digs: 700-square-foot cottage. In her own words: We always wanted to explore small-footprint living. Plus, we were tired of renting! Renovating during a pandemic (we’ve redone the layout and landscaping) has been interesting, but given our desire for a simpler life, it only strengthened our confidence in creating intimate moments and outdoor living spaces that allow us to thrive as a family.

HAPPY HOUR
Quarantined in their home last spring, Chad Dorsey’s clients had a revelation. The crafts room of their Dallas home was languishing unused: Could Dorsey turn it into a getaway for the grown-ups? “The entire space was inspired by the idea of cocktails and wine,” the designer explains. Envisioning a bar with all the glamour of a swank night out on the town, he devised a moody, burgundy scheme, selecting Farrow & Ball’s Brinjal to lacquer the millwork. Adding further sparkle, Dorsey designed a hammered brass and Calacatta viola marble bar illuminated by a crystal chandelier from a Parisian hotel. The result? An invigorating idyll when cabin fever sets in—one bound to delight guests when safe, as well as future buyers seeking the ultimate at-home escape. chaddorseydesign.com

ORIGIN STORY
In 1935, Charles and Emmie Adams left Detroit for the sleepy railroad town of Lake Alfred, Florida. There, they began building the largest citrus packing house of the time. Fast forward three generations and their grandson—Miami architect Max Strang—saw a unique opportunity for the family property: a wellness community. “It’s definitely a reaction to nearby development,” says Strang, who alongside his siblings, intends to transform the 500 plus-acre parcel into a high-design agrihood. “Groves were dying to citrus blight and being sold off to lackluster sprawl. We felt like we had a critical mass to do something special with, otherwise grandma would come back to haunt us.” Starting with converting their grandparents’ house into an events venue, plans were drawn for five distinct districts arranged around organic citrus groves and freshwater lakes. Units will range from apartments to estates, with styles from “modern agricultural” to “southern farmhouse.” There will be shopping, fine dining, a boutique inn and spa, a museum devoted to Florida citrus, a school, lakefront parks and community farms. Consistent with Strang’s portfolio, sustainability is paramount: Homes will offer solar-paneled roofs and geothermal heating, and rainwater will be harvested. The underlying mission? Build community around a back-to-the-land mindset—something Strang sees a growing market for. “Nowadays we’re divorced from our food and for many, it’s work to physically reach nature. This idea of walking out the door and onto a nature path is creating a new kind of suburbia.” strang.design

VINTAGE TIMBERWORKS “Our reclaimed-wood products express antiquity and the essence of quality.”
I
CUSTOM WOODWORKING
DENNIS ROBERTS, OWNER vintagetimberworks.com 951.695.1003 vintagetimberworks
n the early 1990s, one of the largest sawmill facilities in the United States was being dismantled, resulting in millions of feet of massive oldgrowth timber being up for grabs. A general contractor at the time, Dennis Roberts was more than aware of the quality, stability and rare dimensions original wood offered. He had also been working closely with friends and collaborative partners Jack and Robert Weir of Weir Bros. Custom Homes, who had been praising the material’s character and value in design for some years. Roberts took the opportunity to acquire much of the available wood, and he and his team incorporated it into some
of their most significant projects. It wouldn’t be long until they transitioned to focus on this new niche, and Vintage Timberworks was born. Today, they retrieve and refine gorgeous, all-natural reclaimed woods, creating stunning and bespoke pieces—everything from beams and flooring to siding—for homes and commercial venues in every style. That last part isn’t an overstatement. In the hands of Roberts and team, reclaimed wood is suited to much more than rustic aesthetics. “Our work has been featured in many project types, including country French, farmhouse, Asian fusion, Spanish Colonial, contemporary, Victorian, Craftsman, Tudor and more.”
ASK THE EXPERT How do you include the client in your creative process? We work closely with them to find the ideal species, surface characteristics and patinas. What can clients do to ensure a painless process? Start planning and organizing very early. Everything we do is painstakingly crafted by hand, so it often requires long lead times. Projects for exposed antique timbers, for example, are most successful when we have about four months to work. What’s next for the firm? We are currently sourcing some exciting reclaimed materials from Australia and Indonesia. Most intriguing is the Class 1 nature of some of these woods, which means they are virtually impervious to decay.

“We have been in business for more than 30 years, but we operate with the passion, outside-the-box thinking and drive of a startup.”
or Otto Benson and his team of tech experts at Modern Home Systems, it’s all about the people. With every new product selection and each system installed, they are contemplating one question: “How can innovation improve upon one’s daily life?” Fittingly, it was a luminary client that first put the company on the map. “We had the opportunity to work for a former MLB Padres player, and that project was later published in a national magazine,” Benson shares. “Most of our clients since have likewise been very successful people. I’ve been fortunate to learn from all and bring a love of technology to them.” This mission—to showcase how high-tech home features can change lifestyles for the better, and thus, instill a newfound appreciation for them—has led to Modern Home Systems becoming a veritable one-stop shop. From Savant automation, Lutron shading and Ruckus networks, to full-fledged theater packages, the firm offers a robust lineup

and the expertise to incorporate each selection to perfection. “Our showroom is a great space to explore and demo all of our offerings,” Benson says. “We also share our projects on social media, inviting potential clients to see what we can do and current ones to keep updated on all of the latest innovations.”
In what kinds of communities do you work? We work everywhere. With more than 200 Savant systems, we have the capability to operate remotely. From Hawaii to New York, Florida to Nevada, we’ve completed projects throughout the country. How do you include the client in the process? Our approach is to begin with a simple home visit. I personally walk every home and visit with every client. Then, we’ll meet at the showroom to demo, answer questions and establish a budget. From there, we choose product and get to work! What’s next for the firm? We are planning to purchase a home and turn it into an interactive showroom.

STEVEN SHIELDS, OWNER shieldsresidential.com 951.538.4546 shieldsresidential
here hardly exists a design lover who doesn’t have an appreciation for Coachella Valley. Arguably one of the most architecturally significant places in the United States, it is a veritable showcase of the midcentury modern movement. On display are famous designs by Donald Wexler, William Francis Cody, Charles DuBois, William Krisel, A. Quincy Jones and Joseph Eichler—each a luminary of lore, and each the creator of a home Shields Residential has lovingly restored. “We specialize in the restoration and remodeling of midcentury modern homes throughout the Valley,” owner Steven Shields says. “We are delighted
with this niche.” When so many homes in historic Palm Springs and the surrounding areas have been pieced apart and back together, trade by trade, Shields and his team take great pride, and pour ample passion, into bringing them back to life in a way that suits the new owners’ lifestyle while respecting the original architecture. “The work we do celebrates the original vision of these amazing architects and adds a feeling of preservation to our Valley,” Shields says. “Maintaining the spirit of the home while working with the client is always a crucial part of the process.” Although they do build one or two new homes each year, Shields and his team remain driven by this distinctive pursuit.

“We always think about what is best for the client and strive to help them reach every objective.”
hen a company gets its big break, it often turns into a niche-defining moment. Just ask Stoker Construction Inc. The high-end home builder and remodeler saw its brand hit the map after completing a single-family residence for one of the founders of Tamarisk Country Club, an exclusive and elegant golf community. The project was such a phenomenal success that nearly 100 of Tamarisk’s 350 members would subsequently hire Stoker Construction Inc. And so, a specialization was born. With second and third generations of leadership, the firm has now brought a plethora of designs to life in prestigious neighborhoods the likes of Thunderbird Country Club, Morningside, Bighorn, The Vintage Club and The Reserve. Throughout it all, the Stoker team, in collaboration with award-winning designers and architects, has become known as the ultimate problem solver. “It is our responsibility to do this rather than be the source of the problems,” principal Jeff Stoker says. “We work as

What style is your firm most known for? Currently, most of our projects are contemporary/modern in design. We do have a penchant for clean lines, but regardless of the style, our signature is to give careful thought to the final result at every stage and in every detail, from ground to reveal. What project would you love to take on? We have been interested in the opportunity to construct a single-family residence entirely out of steel. How has technology changed the way you work? We have embraced it and are trying to enhance the construction experience, from project management to three-dimensional photography, which allows the clients to take virtual tours.

t Team Sun Builders, the customer relationship is paramount. The home builder and remodeler brings luxury homes to life, but the client’s journey is just as important as the finished product. When asked to share milestones of the company, CEO Damian Trevor doesn’t point to a specific project and its parameters. Rather, he says, “The big moments are actually the small ones; the interactions that build our solid relationships with each homeowner, architect and designer.” Still, there is an endeavor that put Team Sun “on the map,” and its impressive qualities showcase the skill with which the firm approaches every task. “The Park Lane project was a unique challenge,” Trevor shares. “It involved two residences on adjacent lots, and in order to create the large, custom estate our clients wanted, we were required to perform a parcel merger. Working with the architect and community’s committee was rewarding, but constructing a residence that architecturally blended

Oh, and it must be mentioned, the client was a renowned builder himself. Team Sun lived up to the expectations of someone who knows immaculate execution when he sees it.
What style is your firm most known for? We have been fortunate to work with some of the foremost architects and designers in the world. For example, architect Guy Dreier, who creates modern features with spectacular flying details and curved elements. What project would you love to take on? An island residence presents a wonderful challenge. Our team would look forward to creating a custom home with surrounding island elements.

T
he Corona del Mar abode one couple set their sights on had all the makings of a forever home. Ideally located and blessed with stunning views of the ocean and harbor as well as Catalina, it boasted expansive square footage and the kind of exceptional artistry that comes from being a handcrafted dwelling. Therein was the rub—because no matter how perfect the house might have been for its original inhabitant, the wants, needs and tastes of the new owners inevitably meant some tweaks would be required. In this case, the home had been designed to more traditional-leaning specifications, but the subsequent residents had a different vision. Highly social yet self-described homebodies with two children, they quickly recognized that opening up the layout would better suit their lifestyle. Their mental mood boards gravitated toward the look of a New York loft: something open, modern, clean, even a touch industrial. But they didn’t rush to renovate. Instead, the family gave themselves a few years to feel out the space. Then they called in the pros. The owners approached designer Kelly Nutt, who then pulled in residential designer Bob White. The couple’s longtime friend Mike Close—a frequent visitor who’d witnessed the evolution of their athome wish list firsthand—took on the construction. Chris Fenmore of Garden Studio Landscape Design rounded out the team. The vision had been to open up the floor plan from the get-go, effectively solving the lack of flow inherent in the existing layout, which positioned the kitchen in a corner, with a pantry sandwiched between it and the dining room. As White—who worked with architect of record Charles d’Arcy III of d’Arcy and Associates—sketched out options, the pantry emerged as a sticking point. “Imagine much of the main floor as an open box with this big, walk-in, three-walled pantry dropped in the center, breaking up all the rooms,” he explains. By moving it, White was able to jigsaw pretty much everything else, too. The dining area moved into the corner where the old kitchen lived; a new open kitchen became a centralized socializing space between the living room and rear yard entertaining area, and
a new pantry landed in a former gallery space that had extended from the entry. Some of the existing traditional elements remained. “We played off the coffered ceilings that were in the main living space and reworked them to the new layout,” says Close. The existing beams in the dining and media room received some cosmetic love. Moreover, the team added or enlarged windows to further capitalize on the panoramic views, too, all in black steel—adding a hip, urban overtone to the home’s traditional bones. “Their natural light was probably diminished by at least 50 percent before, whereas now, I’d be surprised if they ever switch on a light on during the day,” notes Close. And more black steel appears, used for doors between rooms and notably in the main bathroom. Nutt, who notes that the couple has amazing taste, focused on balancing their stylish, refined aesthetic with the cozy, timeless feel they desired. “This is now a coastal-casual home married with a sophisticated flat, one of those houses that feels both casual and formal,” she says. The palette trends neutral—with sandy hues that nod to Corona del Mar’s beach city spirit tempered by the occasional burst of blue—but textures, like linen and wool and the occasional inclusion of block-printed textiles, keep things animated. As befits the home of avid entertainers, there are plenty of spots to gather: at the expansive dual islands in the kitchen—one counter height, one bar height—and around the great room where the seating options range from leather-covered stools at the bar to a quartet of swivel chairs to couches facing each other beside the fireplace. Found pieces are also sprinkled throughout the house, from the entryway’s old Spanish church pew and the main bedroom’s vintage wooden hutch to a French limestone trough converted into a sink within the primary powder room. “We went for an approachable, welcoming, timeless look, and I think we achieved it,” Nutt notes. The couple, quick to say that they delight in caring for the home, also doubts they’ll ever indeed finish refining it—even though they’ve put their spin on it so significantly already. Says the husband, “This is our family castle, and we still have plenty of plans for it.”

About the Fold For an L.A. artist, a new approach to paint and canvas yields 3D results.

ne day, Susan Maddux pondered a canvas in her studio and decided to take it off the stretchers. She began to play with the material, “folding it, ripping it, cutting it, painting it. It was so tactile and 3D,” Maddux says. “I’d always had this idea of what a painter—which I was—did and how a painter was supposed to work.” Treating the canvas as a textile as much as a surface for painting was, she says, incredibly freeing. These days, Maddux works out of a studio in Los Angeles. Her process involves substantial preparation. “I do a lot of designing color palettes before I start painting large pieces,” she reports. “I like to get really comfortable with how the colors behave, how they dry, how they mix with the other colors before I start. I do tests and studies, and sometimes make maquettes for particular projects.” Maddux uses acrylic paints, which can look like dyes or watercolors on the canvas. Each piece is made of multiple separate paintings folded and combined. “I like to be surprised by what the paint does, the way it moves and blends,” says the artist. “I control it, but it also thwarts my ability to control it. I have to build into my process the unexpected. I create each piece layer by layer, element by element.” While the artist shares that she loves doing larger pieces since they have more presence, smaller work figures into her practice. “I spend months in the studio playing with small pieces—experimenting and studying,” she explains. And recent experiments have yielded an exciting new direction for her to explore. “I’m creating elaborately cut pieces that almost resemble lace,” shares the artist. “It speaks even more to a couture level of detail and contrasting textures.” Making her art in Los Angeles versus New York, where she previously lived, has also allowed Maddux to pursue different ways of presenting her work. “There, I felt like I had to be in a gallery; here, I am creating my own visibility via social media. I like this new world—this ability to connect with people and do it with this work,” she says. “It took me a long time to have the nerve to go for it as a career, to say: This is what I am. I stopped trying to do what I thought I should and started doing what I wanted to do. It’s wonderful to concentrate on it and to have people respond.”

In Beverly Hills, a 1930 home is imbued with European touches, reinvigorating its old Hollywood charm.

T
his house is like a Fabergé egg,” says designer Dana Battista. “The layers and details—it’s all just really special.” Making it even more precious is the fact that it’s home to Battista’s sister and brother-in-law, an entertainment-industry couple who recently returned to Los Angeles after a stint in London. “This wasn’t a full-on, ‘here’s the concept, let’s go’ kind of project. It takes patience to create an ‘over-time’ look, and they were willing to wait,” she shares. “It’s a great old Mediterranean house that most would have torn down or just left as-is, but we wanted to make it exciting.” The couple’s time abroad laid the foundation for many of their decisions, beginning with the house they chose. “We knew we didn’t want a home pretending to be old,” the husband says. So, when a realtor friend tipped them off to a 1930 gem, their response was immediate. The residence had been lovingly maintained by all of its former owners. The surfaces required only minor changes and a few clever structural tweaks to make it feel larger, all without increasing the footprint. (Although behindthe-scenes updates happened to the plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems.) “I’ve watched some incredible homes get knocked down in our area,” adds the wife. “We wanted to keep the integrity of the house and just make it look its best.” General contractor Kevin Mulderrig, a veteran of historic house renovations, took a studied approach to the makeover. “I find these projects particularly gratifying because of my appreciation for their character,” he says. “Here, we made changes to the layout that opened up the space and gave it a good flow.” He opened the entryway to the center hall and crowned the resulting space with a barrel ceiling. The main bedroom boasts a newly raised ceiling, too—its design inspired by a coved example in a Sicilian hotel room. (The couple called on architect Leslie Lippich to help with some of the structural changes.) Mulderrig also updated the windows and doors with larger steel-frame models to increase natural light—a welcome adjustment in a move from London to Los Angeles. Inside this newly bright envelope is a mix of the couple’s existing furnishings along with finds specific to the new digs. The goal was “a little Robert Evans,” says Battista, “soft, sexy and glamorous but also comfortable and livable.” The living room centers on a 1950s Edward Wormley

sofa paired with pale pink Art Deco chairs found at the Rose Bowl Flea Market and a resin cocktail table inlaid with brass stars. The room is also home to the family’s century-old baby grand, its bench reupholstered with an animal print. “It’s a musical house,” says the husband. “People come over, open up the piano, and we all sing—even if we can’t—and someone is always hijacking my Sonos system,” he jokes. “Unlike many Hollywood homes that were built for show, we renovated this house to support our lifestyle.” The adjacent library holds many of the pieces brought from London, including the sofa, chairs, rug and draperies, now set off by lacquered aubergine paneling. “There was a slight gasp when I suggested the color,” admits the designer, but everyone got on board. “When we were little, Dana would always pick the most unusual color crayons,” says the wife. “She’s been unique from a very young age, and color is one of her strengths. I even defer to her for nail polish!” Battista also subtly wove her sister’s favorite color, green, through almost every room: the kitchen’s floor tile, the dining room’s vintage furnishings, the main bedroom’s leather armchairs. “My sister and brother-in-law have beautiful things, and it all works together,” the designer says. Stylish touches continue outside with Fornasettiinspired mosaics for the pool by third-generation L.A. firm Joseph & Sons Mosaics and a marblepaved dining patio outside the library that reminds the couple of vacations in Italy. It’s a holiday feel enhanced by Jessica Viola’s landscape design. “They wanted a Mediterranean aesthetic, robust with flowers for butterflies and bees, and we strove to integrate as much food as we could, using fruit trees, perennial herbs and annual vegetables,” says the landscape designer, noting the wife’s love of cooking and canning. “The old-world charm that this family embodies inspired me. This garden is so personal—even each rose has special meaning.” And it’s undoubtedly why the couple says they forget they live in a metropolis. “There are birds, deer, rabbits. It’s almost hard to believe. And in five minutes, we’re back on Sunset Boulevard,” says the husband. “This house has fabulous views, and at least three times a week, one of us will call the other to come out and see the sunset,” he adds. “It’s a little jewel box, our sanctuary,” says the wife. And her sister couldn’t be happier with the final result, saying simply, “We made it come to life.”
The entry to this 1930 Beverly Hills home with interiors by designer Dana Battista remained largely untouched after a refresh—simply updated with a powder-coated steel-and-glass front door and sidelights. The globe-trotting owners discovered the pair of dogs at Tallulah Fox in Petworth, England. Just inside, Battista placed a Williams-Sonoma Home bar cart topped with a Fornasetti lamp. The sunburst mirror is from Valerie Wade in London.
Farrow & Ball’s Brinjal lacquers the library’s new built-in shelving, which is accented by metal grilles and sleek hardware.

Vintage treasures and rich color inject playful joy into a Newport Beach home for a family seeking respite from London. 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 B Y R YA N G A R V I N
Interior Design: Milena Sefferovich, Heirloom
To turn their California dreams into reality, one London family approached interior designer Milena Sefferovich to fulfill their vision of a fun and contemporary coastal abode in Newport Beach. The home, by residential designer Mark Becker, makes an edgy statement with its graphic black-and-white palette.
T
here are many aesthetic stories in Newport Beach—among them as a glamorous enclave for old Hollywood and a playground for visionary modern architects of the midcentury period. For one globe-trotting family seeking to escape the foggy gray skies of London, however, their idea of a vacation home proved more elemental. Their California dreams were of a sun-kissed, colorfully casual place made for endless summer beach days. “When you leave the U.K., where it’s dark and raining all year, and come to Newport Beach, you want it to be bright, light and fun,” notes interior designer Milena Sefferovich, with whom the family reunited to compose the spaces of their newly built home by residential designer Mark Becker. “They were looking to build a house that was family-friendly and had good energy.” Sefferovich had previously worked with the couple designing a residence in Barcelona— an alluring abode made for cocktail-hour entertaining, defined by moody wallpaper and lush velvets. Yet, from the beginning, they saw this new house as a more personal haven, where the family could retreat into each other’s company and with friends after long days by the coast mere blocks away. This meant central gathering spaces filled with generous seating in unfussy, durable materials, as well as pattern-punctuated bedrooms that suited everyone’s personalities. For the wife, in particular, this also included precious finds gathered over the years, such as her collection of vibrant vintage fabrics. At planning meetings with Sefferovich, she would pull out a new piece to share as inspiration—all tucked in an envelope of swatches. “She really led the color and boldness of the home,” notes the interior designer. Against a fresh backdrop of light-colored wood flooring and white millwork, the final palette offered jolts of the wife’s retro color cues—including earthy yellows, inky blacks, jewel-toned greens and hints of pink. The variety of wall treatments provided a playful canvas to explore these shades, from the hand-painted botanical mural in the dual laundry and craft room by artist Alina Welch to the grass-cloth wallpaper used in the dining room and entryway, which was specially commissioned in the perfect shade of mustard. However, one color combination remained a low priority—the prototypically beachy pairing
of blue and white, as “we wanted to make the home feel coastal, without making it cliché,” says Sefferovich. “This is not your traditional beach house.” Instead, the interior designer gave the abode an on-vacation vibe in other ways, like with reinterpretations of the classic palm leaf motif, using a black-and-white palm print wallpaper to create a zebra-like effect in the main bedroom. And in the son’s bedroom, she applied a geometric, camouflage-green design on the walls and ceilings to form a modern canopy. Finding a contemporary twist on natural textures also proved key to retaining the home’s relaxed, intimate spirit, from jute area rugs to creamy linen upholstery. The interior designer had particular fun hunting down pieces that offered a sophisticated spin on wicker—that quintessentially coastal material. This included some statement light fixtures, like the modern cane mobile in the main bedroom and the beehive-like pendant in the main bath, a flea market find. Blending such vintage accents with new, often custom furnishings is a central tenet for Sefferovich, one she has cultivated over the years curating for her popular Newport Beach store, Heirloom. She and the clients weren’t afraid to wait until they found the right piece for every corner. “Nothing was chosen just because it fit,” explains the designer. “Everything was selected with intention. Whether we built it or sourced it from a flea market, you will see one-of-a-kind furniture throughout the house.” Form certainly followed function in the dining room, where Sefferovich had a solid oak table made to fit the previously owned dining chairs the wife loved dearly. And a coffee table, which the clients first discovered years ago while antique hunting for their previous project in Spain, finally found a home in the living room. This made the perfect anchor for the two custom curved sofas, proportioned “to accommodate conversation, while also keeping the room open to the view outside,” says the interior designer. For such a well-traveled family, Sefferovich found particular delight in composing a beach home that fell off-the-beaten-path style-wise— one that would provide a postcard background to the California memories they take back to colder climes. “I feel like we made a little moment for every space,” says Sefferovich. “As a designer, it’s really about being able to create environments that are unique to every individual.”

Sefferovich turned to the fabric library at her shop, Heirloom, for the graphic black-and-white coverings on the cushions.
Cliffside hardware from The Hardware Hut accents kitchen cabinetry by Wood Classics. There, Sefferovich stuck to a pared-down palette, favoring subtle, tactile pieces like the rattan Serena & Lily counter stools and a two-tiered chandelier by Visual Comfort & Co.

FLASHBACK | MODERNISM WEEK 2020
MESA MODERN SHOWHOUSE PHOTOGRAPHY BY MANOLO LANGIS
In February 2020, Modernism Week brought thousands of design professionals and enthusiasts to the Palm Springs area to celebrate midcentury architecture and design, preservation and education, as well as the launch of more contemporary projects like the Mesa Modern Showhouse. Produced by Karen Okner, designed by Michelle Boudreau, with John Feldman overseeing the landscape architecture, and premier sponsor Bob Allred of Juniper House furnishing outdoor spaces including tile and stone—the project was a study in appropriately blending a modern aesthetic into an iconic landscape and famously midcentury environment.
"Working with Michelle and John on their beautiful spaces gave me so much joy. I was honored to be able to curate a group of talented individuals that I not only admire, but that also have the talent of differentiating themselves in the design industry. Mesa Modern was not only a successful show house, but an example of true collaboration.” – KAREN OKNER, showhouse producer DESIGN COLLABORATIVE designcollaborativeusa.com
A D V E R T I S E M E N T
“The outdoor spaces were key for us, because we have such a vast array of products that would allow Michelle and John to mix materials and styles to elevate the modern aesthetic. Juniper House also launched our tile + stone division at Mesa Modern. Michelle’s selections created a highly sophisticated but calm space. It embodies the new modern movement happening in Palm Springs that honors midcentury architecture and moves it forward to the present.” – BOB ALLRED, premier sponsor outdoor furnishings, select tile + stone JUNIPER HOUSE juniperhouse.com
“Regional context always plays a big part for us in projects. Many of our clues for the site and landscape were extrapolated from colors and textures that Michelle explored within the interiors. The landscape’s architecture is an obvious extension of the house. There is no turning one’s back on Mt. San Jacinto which rises up seemingly from the home’s back yard. You couldn’t ask for greater drama to activate this space naturally.” – JOHN FELDMAN, landscape architecture ECOCENTRIX LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE ecocentrix.com
