This is rarely exemplified so well as in the relationship between interior designer and paint contractor. After the style whiz selects the perfect palette to complement architecture, building materials, furnishings and accessories, those talented with a brush bring it to fruition with deft hands and a deeply rooted understanding of application techniques, product 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.

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.

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.

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

IANTHA CARLEY ASPEN, CO SARAH BROUGHTON + ENRIQUE AND LUIS PENA

How did you three come to work together?

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! Describe the impact of paint on interiors.

SILVER SPRING, MD IANTHA CARLEY + JAMES LACKFORD

“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.”

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

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.”

EMILIE MUNROE + RYE NAZARIAN

AUSTIN, TX 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. 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

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

LOS ANGELES, CA TIMOTHY CORRIGAN + BILL SUPLEE

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

MCLEAN, VA TRACY MORRIS + GEORGE FRITZ

“ 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

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

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.

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! 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. What role does paint sheen/finish play?

How did you three come to work together?

PHOTOGRAPHY: MORRIS/FRITZ BY RYAN DONNELL; PALADINO/RUDD/QUIST BY MARY BETH KOETH; BROWN/BUTTENWIESER BY BRITTANY AMBRIDGE; CRAIG/HESTER BY CYNTHIA LYNN

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. Why do you consider it critical to work with a skilled interior designer? 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 CHICAGO, IL JOAN CRAIG + STEVE HESTER

WESTCHESTER, NY

Peter: We went to college together and ultimately found ourselves in the same industry 20 years later. 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.

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

ALLISON PALADINO “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.”

We have our go-to favorites!”

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.”

GEORGE FRITZ

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

COMING SOON: LOOK FOR THE CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS TO BE A PART OF BENJAMIN MOORE’S NEXT FACES OF DESIGN CAMPAIGN IN 2023!

“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.” JAMES LACKFORD “High-gloss ceilings, which have great drama and bounce light off, take a room to heaven.”

LISA BROWN “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.”

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 Advice FROM THE Experts

“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.”

TIMOTHY CORRIGAN “ 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.”

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. Enjoy our art-focused issue.

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.

SAN FRANCISCO

After a two-year hiatus, one of San Francisco’s most anticipated fall events returns in person. “This year, we are celebrating the 40th anniversary of The San Francisco Fall Show—our very own Ruby Jubilee!” says chair Suzanne Tucker. “Rubies are thought to possess an inner ﬂame, symbolizing passion, devotion and endurance. What could be more apt for the longest running art, antiques and design fair on the West Coast?” The show runs October 13–16, with a dazzling Opening Night Gala at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture on October 12 beneﬁting the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.

About 50 dealers from around the world will exhibit at this year’s event, o ering for sale American, English, Continental and Asian furniture, decorative objects and art—from antiquity to present day. In honor of the Ruby Jubilee, the show will embrace all shades of red. s allshow.org

The Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco (ICA SF) will push against museum tradition to transform the way contemporary art is curated and accessed. Ali Gass, the museum’s Krieger family director—formerly of the Smart Museum of Art, Cantor Arts Center and SFMOMA—shares the team’s motives and mission. icasanfrancisco.org

ICA SF is a non-collecting museum. Why? Managing a collection is a signiﬁcant part of a museum’s operating budget. There’s been a real inequity as to which people have had access to museum careers, so it was important for us to have livable salaries and to pay artists well. We also want to look at the broadest narrative that we can tell, including artists who are BIPOC, women, nonbinary, from countries that are underrepresented in museums, or focus on issues not often explored.

WRITTEN BY KIMBERLY OLSON STATE OF THE ART

A new museum has slipped onto the Dogpatch scene with plans to shake things up.

What is the space like? It is 11,000 square feet on Minnesota Street. We worked with Jensen Architects and Min Design. E.B. Min and I partnered to do the buildout of the interior in this scrappy way, so you’ll see some drywall where the artists can exhibit their work, but not much more than that. The building is a fairly raw space.

What will visitors see? A strong cross-section of global rising-star artists who shine a light on what is happening in the world, including California and the Bay Area. We’re launching on October 1 with three projects. One is a solo exhibition, “This Burning World,” with Je rey Gibson, a MacArthur Foundation Fellow and Indigenous artist. We’re also hosting a guestcurated project by Autumn Breon and Tahirah Rasheed called “Resting Our Eyes.” And in the lobby space, Liz Hernández and Ryan Whelan are doing a meditation on the resiliency it takes to be an artist in the Bay Area (“A Weed by Any Other Name”).

“RAMSES THE GREAT AND THE GOLD OF THE PHARAOHS” Embark on an immersive journey into ancient Egypt with “Ramses the Great and the Gold of the Pharaohs” at the de Young museum, which explores the life and accomplishments of Ramses II, whose reign many historians consider the apex of Egyptian culture. Under his rule, enormous temples, obelisks and statues were erected across the empire, the largest in both scale and number of any king. The de Young, the exhibit’s exclusive West Coast venue, is uniquely suited to transport visitors to the era through an array of 180 extraordinary artifacts. Wander amongst towering royal sculptures and see dazzling jewelry as well as precious works of art. “Many of these objects are newly discovered and have never left Egypt before,” says Renée Dreyfus, organizing curator of “Ramses the Great.” “This exhibition is truly a once-ina-lifetime experience as many of the works will return to Egyptian museums and are unlikely to travel again for decades.” deyoung.famsf.org

7:15 a.m. We are big into snacks here at Studio Munroe. I live in Noe Valley and the studio is in the Mission. There’s a spot on Valencia called Craftsman and Wolves where I’ll grab myself a coffee and pick up pastries for the team. 11:30 a.m. Our studio is walking distance to Zuni Café, so I’ll jaunt off to meet a friend for a fun lunch. 1:15 p.m. After lunch, I’ll go to Simon Breitbard Fine Arts. They have incredible small objets and little pieces of art that you can cluster on a narrow wall, place in a hallway or nestle onto bookshelves. It’s a wonderful place to go and pick up special pieces that have been crafted by artists to display around the home.

4:30 p.m. Minnesota Street Project is a great place to visit as well. It is free to the public and showcases a fantastic mix of small art galleries featuring established and emerging artists in a fresh and modern set of warehouse buildings.

9:15 p.m. I get together with a designer friend monthly to talk about life and work projects. We meet at Trick Dog and have a couple of cocktails before heading home.

Ask to sit at the bar on the kitchen side—you can watch the sunset, looking out over the bay at the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s just the most magical San Francisco moment.

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).

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. 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 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. 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 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.

Using new materials, methods and processes, Nosanchuk is remaking traditional Shaker work such as wooden candlestands in translucent resin.

Be it a chair, table or baby’s toy, form harks back to the maker’s values—a quiet Nosanchuk honors throughout every stage of construction. davidnosanchuk.com

“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

JOLIE NGO 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

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

KATIE STOUT 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.

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.”

katie stout photo: courtesy r & company and the artist, rendering: courtesy selldorf architects.

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

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

And now, it’s entering a new chapter … “Through a brand refresh and novel product offerings, our goal is to continue to promote a lifestyle-centric perspective and emphasize how stone can play a key role in creating spaces where memories are made and design influences the everyday moments of life,” says Sarah Lograsso, Eldorado Stone’s director of marketing and product design. “We want to help people curate the perfect backdrop for every space.”

From a front façade to a fireplace design or a spalike bathroom wall, stone plays an integral role in creating exterior and interior places that feel both sturdy and stylish. For decades, Eldorado Stone has been inviting architects, designers, builders and homeowners alike to explore the possibilities as they seek that marriage of beauty and function. With a wide range of premium stone profiles and a second-to-none approach to the development and application of trend-leading color palettes, the company has become a beloved stone resource.

Opposite Indoors or out, Loire Valley™ RoughCut® pairs brilliantly with other natural elements for the perfect expression of organic luxury.

THE START OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL™ “With respect to new product development, we look carefully at the inﬂuence of people’s lifestyles on architecture and design, and how the comprehensive purpose of everyday environments will impact those who inhabit them in a very practical way,” Lograsso says. “We look to where a client chooses to spend time and what draws them into that space. 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? Any of those elements can spark inspiration and play an integral role in shaping beautiful spaces.”

For their freshman debut, The High Key’s Relief collection explores curvaceous shapes as is evident in the Glove Couch. Founder and creative director John Vieweg first designs pieces using 3D software, after which a network of manufacturers build the designs to exact renderings. Vieweg contemplated the idea of ‘relief’ throughout the design process: from the physical relief of sitting on a sofa, to the way in which reliefs were historically made by carving away at materials—a method employed on the sofa’s interior foam body to achieve its final construction. thehighkey.design

K I TC H E N + B AT H | T H E R E P O RT LIVING Inspiration abounds with unabashedly bold kitchens and baths and art world discoveries.

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

To satiate the same client’s love of color and Bisazza tile, Drake/Anderson enveloped a powder bath located off the office in a mesmerizing gradient mosaic. “The upper half almost recalls windows in a skyscraper,” Jamie Drake says. Since the design of the adjacent workspace is fun and whimsical, the same feeling was carried into the bathroom with a playful all-over tile arrangement. Drake notes that, “the clean, contemporary floating vanity doesn’t compete with the surroundings, but its curved shape adds another layer of visual interest.” A benefit of sheathing every surface in tile? “It melts the perimeters of the room, making it appear larger,” Drake explains. drakeanderson.com

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.

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.

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. 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.

L U X E S O U R C E C O M

What did the client want for this powder room?

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

SOCIAL STUDIES

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.

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

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.

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.

When Chelsea Neman Nassib founded Tappan Collective 10 years ago, online-native galleries were a novelty. Fast forward to 2020 and the platform, thanks to its investment in producing artist studio visits and profiles for their website, found itself precociously equipped to connect stories with collectors in a digital world. tappancollective.com

RAINBOW CONNECTION

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.

GREATER GOOD

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. Design crush: Artist duo Kristen Wentrcek and Andrew Zebulon. I’ve never seen such high level of craft meet fearlessness and yet somehow remain functional. My wife and I own several of their pieces and admire them daily.

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

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.

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.

RISING TIDE

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

TURNER

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.

SAN FRANCISCO |

Tastemakers, color visionaries, lovers of the unique finds and style rule breakers—the design industry is abundant with innovative and imaginative women. But alongside their considerable talents in the world of all things aesthetic, the most influential women in the trade possess an understanding of the business of design, too. They are savvy and agile, while preserving the empathic and interconnected viewpoints that make them so good at getting each client’s space “just right.” In this special section, get to know some of the most influential women of design. WOMEN OF DESIGN

“We have several artists just steps away from museum representation and our goal is to help them become important internationally.”

On any given day, Susan Snyder can be found checking in with artists, planning exhibitions and fostering relationships with collectors and influential design firms, namely Kristi Will Interior Design, Ann Lowengart Interiors and Jay Jeffers. Her favorite part of the business is sharing the final placement of a work of art with the artist. She explains, “When we install an amazing painting or sculpture for a collector, I enjoy capturing the moment with a photograph of the artwork in its new environment.”

ARTS ADVOCATE Caldwell Snyder Gallery represents a range of female artists Susan Snyder finds inspiring. Current favorites include Bobbie Burgers, Marta Penter, Melissa Chandon, Arty Grimm, Martha Sturdy and Anna Lena Straube. She says, “Each of these artists has a unique vision and talent, and I truly appreciate seeing them evolve and create new concepts for their paintings and sculpture.”

Countless studies show that women who support and mentor other women are more successful in business. For Susan Snyder, that means promoting and uplifting talented emerging and mid-career female artists. “I believe that women in design and in the gallery industry can use their platforms to educate future collectors and present these artistic talents to the world,” says the co-owner of Caldwell Snyder Gallery. Snyder and her business partner Oliver Caldwell founded the gallery in San Francisco nearly 40 years ago, and what started out as a 600-square-foot space in the Marina District has grown to a total of three locations in Northern and Southern California. “Our major goal is to have relationships with influential designers and to introduce them to our stable of artists,” she adds. “The gallery continues to seek new, talented artists to represent and present to our collectors and designers.”

The skills and expertise that are perfected over time are important in any industry. But when it comes to building family homes, they are invaluable. Colleen Conrado Ferguson, president of Conrado Home Builders and a second-generation builder, has an inherent understanding of these strengths, which have been key to her family-run firm’s success. “There are a number of things that set us apart from other luxury builders,” she says. “One is our collaborative approach. Because it takes many people to build a high-caliber we carefully cultivate teamwork and relationships throughout the process so that architects, designers, builders, vendors—is on the same page.

everyone—clients,

• Did you always want to work in this industry? As a child, I loved being on construction sites. I remember an Art Nouveau house we built in the 1990s and how its interior curves, wavy shingle roof and high-gloss Lexus auto paint cabinetry made me want to be a part of that elevated level of design.

Gina Dixon and Kristen Lomax each share a project that challenged and inspired them.

• Lomax says: “I love the collaborative aspect of residential design. On a recent project we completed in Portola Valley, the clients were interested in the ‘why’ of everything we did. Breaking down the design process in such a way allowed me to flex my analytical and educational skills, and deliver an outstanding design that both we and the homeowners were proud of.” “We focus on service, communication and trust as we strive to make the process collaborative and fun for our clients.”

• Dixon says: “I recently completed a Bernard Maybeck-inspired Craftsman residence that required difficult problem solving and working with Atherton’s code to stretch what was possible and realize the client’s vision for their dream home.”

“We are a women-owned and led business that is bringing a unique viewpoint to our profession,” the partners say. “As architects committed to residential design and mothers raising young families, we bring a fresh perspective to clients who are creating family homes. All the while, we are focused on projects that are diverse in scope and style as we provide strong mentorship and career opportunities to young architects, and advocate for women taking their place at the forefront of progress and innovation in architecture.”

• @thefutureperfect • @douglasfriedman Not only does Holly Snow Hollenbeck know how to breathe new life into an interior, but she also knows how to reinvent herself. Before establishing HSH Interiors in 2002, Hollenbeck worked in investment banking, consulting and at an internet start-up before she says she “realized I need beauty, challenge and artistic stimulation.” Hollenbeck decided to return to school, and while studying interior design at UC Berkeley Extension, she simultaneously gut remodeled her first home in Marin County. When it was complete, so many in from friends and family who wanted Hollenbeck to transform their own homes that she dropped out to start her company. Today, with an almost entirely female team of 14, Hollenbeck says she finds women to be innately cut out for the job. “I believe our ability to multitask, and to bring empathy and emotion to our work, is a real asset,” she says.

HSH Interiors has worked on everything from a 1,200-squarefoot 1962 A-frame renovation in Tahoe to a 10,000-square-foot contemporary new-build home in Wyoming. With such a wide range, Hollenbeck finds inspiration in a number of places. “On my last trip to Paris, I toured an exhibit of Charlotte Perriand’s work and admired her diverse talent—from a modernist Alps ski resort to her iconic sculptural furnishings,” she says. Closer to home, Hollenbeck recently visited the Santa Monica Proper Hotel, designed by Kelly Wearstler, and “admired her talent with materials and surfaces, and her ability to play with scale.” “I am motivated by happy clients and beautiful projects. I also love my staff— they are creative, kind and hard-working.”

Mixing tradition and innovation results in great designs. Before there was Pinterest, Kristi Will remembers creating vision boards using magazine clippings, materials and finishes. Destined to become an interior designer, Will says she was fortunate to have the mentorship of two female architects early in her career who “were champions of design restraint, managing client expectations and balancing the demands of a small firm.” Now, as the principal of Kristi Will Interior Design, she is passing down her 25 years of expertise to the young designers on her team. In return, they are teaching her to embrace new technology drafting and rendering. “It’s exciting to see the virtual models we are building for our clients,” Will says. “We look forward to continuing the pursuit of design expression and helping our clients create their dream homes for years to come.”

While developing her own style, which she describes as “sophisticated, yet fresh and vibrant,” Fraise looked to female artists from the early 20th century for inspiration, especially Florine Stettheimer. “She was an artist and famed New York salonnière who created fantastical theater sets and exceptional interiors for her family,” Fraise says. “She had an amazing eye for color, and a playful, whimsical style that I admire completely.”

As she was working toward her Ph.D. in art history at Stanford University, Jeannie Fraise bought a fixer-upper and realized she “liked practicing art more than writing about it.” Fraise subsequently dove into interior design and has never looked back. Given her background, Fraise has an informed perspective on the role gender plays in her field. “It’s always important to study the history of women in design to understand who was not included and who had—and continues to have—better access to our profession and how we can change that,” says the owner of Lotus Bleu. Leading by example, Fraise is making waves in the industry by not only honoring the women who came before her but by also bolstering the success of the female makers she partners with. “I am always looking for ethically and sustainably produced textiles by brands either led by women or those who give women important roles.” BLEU 415.861.2700 | lotusbleudesign.com | lotusbleusf DESIGN | SAN FRANCISCO

It’s no secret that architecture is still a male-dominated space, and Malika Junaid says the onus is on firms to become more accommodating for women. “Architecture is not a very diverse or inclusive profession and suffers from women leaving early in their careers, often due to pay, long hours, and the lack of flexibility and support around childcare,” she says. An anomaly herself, Junaid helms the Palo Alto-based architecture firm M.Designs. She first discovered her interest in architecture as a child, while traveling through Europe with her family. “The different styles, the history, the usage of materials and so on intrigued me,” Junaid shares. Today, she finds inspiration in history, art, nature, her colleagues and her clients. “I don’t consider my work as work,” she explains. “It is very much a part of who I am. Thus, whenever I am working, I am energized, excited, driven and inspired.” m.designsarchitects

In the sizable entry, designer Catherine Kwong placed a vintage Japanese hardwood console in front of a large window overlooking the Presidio. It’s accompanied by a pair of Matthiessen folding stools by Richard Wrightman Design and a jute Armadillo rug.

very home has a history; some are short and straightforward, others long and full of character. For this grand San Francisco abode that sits alongside the Presidio Wall and enjoys marvelous views of nature, the latter is the case.

In that spirit, past and present coexist comfortably in the home. On the main level, for example, an impressive foyer recalls a bygone era with heavy ornamented millwork, original stained-glass windows and a graceful staircase. However, there are hints that this dwelling trends modern, including an ornate banister in an arresting black hue. It’s a balancing act Kwong continues throughout the house. In the dining room, traditional embellishments include paneled walls, builtin china cabinets with cut-crystal door pulls and a ceiling covered with an intricate web of molding. The designer tempered the classic style with a sleek table and upholstered chairs. Elegant crown molding and wainscoting—along with twisting Solomonic columns seen through the window—define the living room, so Kwong selected furnishings for the space that juxtapose the original style with present-day shapes. “In the everyday areas like the kitchen, playroom and bedrooms, we made it feel young and fresh—like the new generation living there,” Kwong says. “The more historic rooms retain their original character, but we used contemporary furniture to soften the classic layers.”

Curtiss designed the entrance to the lower level to be dark and mysterious, hinting at the past to be discovered below. As they descend, the homeowners come to a glass-encased wine room with a hidden bookcase door, a feature that simultaneously celebrates and hides the collection, Prohibition style. The original speakeasy bar—one of only 11 remaining in private residences in the city—retains its authentic wear and tear, a nod to its dissolute history. The furnishings create a comfortable space for entertaining, beckoning visitors to enjoy views of the Presidio or to move to the adjoining outdoor living space. The lower level is also home to the children’s playroom with a light, bright aesthetic and easy access to the garden. “Establishing these connections to the land makes this a family house,” Curtiss notes. Walking through this classic abode, it’s easy to appreciate layers of the past rubbing elbows with elements of today. “From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I enjoy the contrast between modern and traditional,” King says. “I think it’s a great challenge for a good architect. And, in the case of the interior design, Catherine did an exceptional job of tying it all together.” Kwong notes the dwelling’s history continues because of the owners. “It’s a credit to them,” she says. “They respect the home’s past and the families who have lived here before.” Because they do, its long story continues with all the chapters intact.

Curtiss set about reconfiguring the floor plan to establish sight lines to the landscape designed by Danielle and John Steuernagel from each room while simultaneously creating better movement from one area to the next. Now, contemporary, functional spaces complement the residence’s historical design. “It’s fine to look at and preserve history and then layer in our era and stories,” the architect says. “You don’t have to demolish one to honor the next.”

Built by a wealthy rancher in 1913, the residence featured opulent public spaces and simple, tuckedaway rooms for staff—a common layout for the era. During Prohibition it even housed a hidden speakeasy on the lower level. Those sharp divisions of space led the current homeowners to seek help creating a cohesive layout while preserving the dwelling’s historic details.

An open floor plan is a decidedly modern concept that would be at odds with the original architecture. Instead, each space now has large, framed openings that draw you into the next room. This layout makes the progression from the traditional areas to the contemporary spaces—such as the kitchen with sleek lines and blond wood cabinetry sans hardware—effortless. And now, from the breakfast nook, the family can easily continue out to the yard.

“They said, ‘We have this lovely house in an amazing location—and we live in three rooms,’ ” says architect Karen Curtiss, who worked on the project with designer Catherine Kwong and general contractor Jeff King. Separate stairs that once led servants to their quarters prohibited a modern flow, and there was no easy way for the family to access the outdoor space, which was important for their two young children.

The living room was refreshed in subtle shades—Benjamin Moore’s Kid Gloves on the original molding and Farrow & Ball’s Drop Cloth for the walls. They serve as the backdrop for a Dmitriy & Co sofa, BassamFellows chaise and coffee table from Orange.

Designer Regan Baker reimagined this Spanish-style home in the Bay Area with vibrant hues and eclectic style all while preserving original details. The entry, for example, pairs a modern Seer Studio table with the existing (but newly ebonized) staircase.

A LUXESOURCE.COM 215

s decades pass, homes can grow in their soulfulness, cultivating a patinated charm that can’t be replicated. However, living in a vintage abode need not feel like a museum. Timeworn character can gain fresh vitality alongside thoughtful additions. That’s what one young family envisioned for their 1922 Spanish-style home in the Bay Area. They treasured the original stone fireplaces, curved wrought-iron staircase and antique doorbell chimes. But instead of strictly adhering to the dwelling’s stylistic origins, they wanted to inscribe their own chapter into this storied place, making room for something new. “We were never trying to be matchy-matchy,” says interior designer Regan Baker, who composed a cohesive vision from the couple’s varied tastes. “We made a conscious effort to preserve what was there while also creating an eclectic feel.”

The clients gravitated to this approach following their experience at the famed El Fenn in Morocco. Though the hotel retains the authentic architectural features of its riad, the interior is far from traditional, combining midcentury modern furnishings, contemporary artwork and handcrafted accents. This integration of dynamic styles within a classic regional framework “became a great jumping-off point for our overall project,” Baker notes. Work began with fortifying the hacienda’s historical details. The construction team carefully restored the original windows and doors, leaving in place the vivid chartreuse color on the front entry to establish the residence’s playful personality at the start. Alterations focused on harmonizing disjointed elements, such as ebonizing the staircase’s different woods into a uniform finish that matches the railing. This also included reevaluating the contemporary kitchen, which was a marked departure from the home’s 1920s features. To soften the boxy lacquered cabinetry, the design team incorporated dark walnut and a textured tile backsplash.

Overall, Baker believed any new additions needed to equal the abode’s century-old craftsmanship. Nodding to the couple’s time in Marrakesh, the designer enlivened the bathrooms with traditional Moroccan zellige tile, like the iconic mosaic pattern in the powder room. The installation proved a painstaking process, as each piece “had to be laid according to a hand-drawn diagram,” notes builder Rich Robb. The traditional application was “certainly a first for us, but the finished product produced a beautiful old-world design,” he says. To underscore these enriched interiors, Baker composed a collection of diverse cultural references as modeled by the El Fenn hotel. These globalinflected accents emphasize pattern and texture, from Persian rugs to ikat-printed fabrics to wallpaper inspired by Japanese kintsugi pottery. Moroccan motifs are a major throughline, with vintage furnishings featuring traditional lattice woodwork and a custom Beni Ourain area rug made for the family room. Shades of Morocco’s iconic blue city, Chefchaouen, are found in upholstery, tilework and rugs throughout the abode. The couple’s love of vibrant, abstract painting added more pulses of color. “The idea was to keep everything neutral, then have pops from the art, the rugs or a piece of furniture,” the designer explains. Alongside these details, Baker tapped into the couple’s fascination with midcentury modern design, procuring many vintage pieces, like an original 1960s Pierre Paulin F444 lounge chair and a Space-Age Stilnovo-inspired chandelier. Midcentury modern’s minimalist, geometric silhouettes may at first seem at odds with the hacienda’s soft architectural lines, but the designer married both sensibilities by using materials “with warm tones that tie into what was already there,” she says. Furniture features walnut and “a mix of brass, copper and black steel for an eclectic feel,” Baker notes. Beyond the pure aesthetics, these varied elements create a vibrant, inviting atmosphere, which carries through to Baker’s approach to the home’s overall flow. The couple frequently hosts their extended family and friends, so shared areas needed to foster lively gatherings. The living room’s array of sofas, lounges and armchairs, for example, “create different zones, so there are a lot of places to sit and have conversations,” the designer explains. Set for 12, a large table corrals celebrations into the dining room, where Baker also placed a dedicated lounge area for “the owners’ parents, so they can sit comfortably while the couple cooks,” she says. In the adjacent kitchen, they lowered the bar-height island’s profile for more fluid circulation between bothNow,spaces.asvisitors explore this reimagined hacienda, they’ll see not only its historical bones, but also the dynamic life layered with memories and traditions the family has built here. “This is a well lived-in home,” the designer says. “When you walk in, it welcomes you.”

Taking Time Antique restoration techniques play a starring role in a basket maker’s process. WRITTEN BY SHANNON SHARPE PHOTOGRAPHY BY LAUREN SEGAL

eeta Tinay’s passion for building baskets began with taking things apart— deconstructing wicker furniture to be exact. Not to destroy it, but to restore it. That process of examining each piece and cutting away areas as needed instilled a deep relationship with the material. The Orinda-based artist spent 10 years working at The Caning Shop in Berkeley, where she learned such techniques as caning, splint work and rush seating. “We did anything that you can think of that was hand woven, with all different types of natural materials,” she says. While the artist had always been a creative, it was through this training in restoration that she discovered her passion. “That really gave me a love for weaving, as well as an appreciation for intricate pieces and how things work underneath the weaving,” Tinay notes. She took that foundation to the next level through basketry classes, which she now teaches, learning classical techniques such as twining, plaiting and lashing. Thanks to her restoration experience, Tinay knows to take her time and respect the material—she favors round reed, flat reed, cane and whole rattan, which was used in Victorian wicker furniture. “I have to prepare the materials,” she explains of the steps she takes before the weaving begins. “Soak them and grade them out for the project—for certain aspects I need different diameters and densities.” Tinay then dyes her selections with hand-mixed color, allows them to dry and finally begins weaving. That is not the end though—“I do a lot of finishing,” the artist says. “Removing and adding color, coating the work in a UV archival varnish so the dye won’t fade, applying wax and buffing.”

The final oversize baskets—“I like to work big,” Tinay notes—might be utilitarian, such as her ottoman trays, or hung as wall art, like the pieces in her current show at New York City’s Culture Object gallery. Color often plays a role, but how much varies—it may be a slight integration of blue or red, or it could be an attention-grabbing basket of bright purple. But, even more than color, it’s the patterns she incorporates that make for inspired forms. “I take cues from different details,” she explains, pointing to the passementerie on fabric and the herringbone shapes on old car tires. “I find patterns in many different places,” Tinay says. “They get my mind thinking. Knowing my materials allows me to do a lot of things. In a way, the sky is the limit. I can break the rules.”

Interior Design: Heidi Caillier, Heidi Caillier Design Home Builder: Kurt Brellin, Brellin Company Setting the Stage Merging fresh and nostalgic design elements, a new home offers a tangible sense of comfort. WRITTEN BY CHRISTINE DEORIO PHOTOGRAPHY BY HARIS KENJAR

Designer Heidi Caillier selected Farrow & Ball’s Pigeon for both the living room trim and the office. The latter is appointed with a Lawson-Fenning desk and light fixture as well as a Hollywood at Home desk chair and artwork by David Hillegas.

Caillier’s knack for bringing elegance to childhood-home comfort is on full display in the family room, where a demure armchair and English antique side table mingle with a laid-back skirted sectional and cozy upholstered ottoman atop a braided jute rug. In the adjacent dining area, the juxtaposition is even more pronounced in the combination of a live-edge wood table, a branchlike chandelier and breezy floral curtains with a decidedly modern, custom floating console wrapped in blue leather and adorned with fanciful brass tassel pulls. With the support of contemporary artworks— an abstract oil on canvas above the entry hall’s antique wood server; ethereal floral paintings dominating the family room wall; and, for contrast, a dark and moody watercolor landscape on raw linen in the dining area—Caillier’s composition is complete. “It can be tricky to mix artworks in an open space like this, but these moments feel so balanced and unexpected,” the designer notes. In other words, as Alexandra says, it feels like the rooms have been there forever. “It’s grounding,” she explains of the reimagined house. “It feels like this partner to me; it’s the embodiment of how I want to be a mother to my kids”—and proof of design’s inextricable role in life, as in art.

LUXESOURCE.COM 231

L

“The house needed an identity,” Caillier adds, who collaborated with builder Kurt Brellin to develop the property’s character. “The rooms are generally open to one another, and I wanted to make each space feel like it flows and tells a story, but also seems different from the others.”

But not so modern that she wasn’t open to a bit of Caillier’s hallmark pattern play—or, in the case of the nursery, where the designer swathed the ceiling, walls, lampshades and draperies in the same lighthearted print—a lot. “Years ago, when I was in a more minimalist stage, I asked Heidi to design another home and I remember telling her, ‘No patterns please, just textures and solid, natural colors,’ ” Alexandra recalls. “By the time we were ready to tackle this project, my aesthetic had changed, and I’d watched Heidi’s style evolve. I said, ‘I want exactly what you’re doing, and I trust you.’ I asked her to create the type of place you want to raise a family in.”

istening to professionalformerballet dancer Alexandra Newman describe the Marin County abode recently completed for her family of four, one can’t help but notice the part that stagecraft still plays in her life.

For her, this new residence represents a dramatic change of scene—from a condo in Presidio Heights to a newly built Victorian-inspired farmhouse in idyllic Larkspur—and a shift in her family’s storyline as she and her husband, Riley, returned to their home county to raise their two children. But before they could move with ease in this new setting, she felt they needed a backdrop that would support their evolving roles. “It was a big transition for us,” she recalls. “We love the city and that part of our lives, but for this chapter of being parents to little kids, we wanted to set up a real nest for them. We moved home to have this cozy family experience, and I wanted Heidi Caillier to create that for us.”

More specifically, the Newmans—who became one of Caillier’s first clients when the designer helped furnish their San Francisco residence nearly a decade ago—wanted to match the inside of their new dwelling, which was awash with chilly white finishes, to the charming exterior, “which feels like it has some history and stories to tell,” Alexandra says. “I wanted this to feel like a home that’s been here for a long time and that will be here for a long time as well.”

She began by choosing a taupe linen wallcovering to warm and unify the abode’s main arteries, including the entryway and adjacent living room as well as the stairwell and upstairs hallway. The designer then selected other similarly “muddy” hues, as she describes them, to distinguish different spaces: a quiet blue-gray on the study’s new millwork, a shadowy blue-green on the family room’s walls and built-in bookshelves, and the palest of silvery blues on the family room and kitchen’s box-beam ceilings. “They all have gray-brown undertones, so nothing feels poppy and bright,” Caillier says of the palette. “They function as neutrals, adding depth in a way that can still work with any other color”—even the kitchen’s blue-black lower cabinets, which contrast sharply against white subway tile, upper cupboards and marble countertops. “I wanted to create this take on a tuxedo kitchen because it’s so emblematic of Alexandra,” Caillier says of the eye-catching space. “Everything about her is very classic, but with a modern sensibility.”

The family room is outfitted with a pair of floral artworks by Lourdes Sanchez, a Romo-upholstered sectional and an armchair by John Derian for Cisco Home. Atop the antique English side table is a Natan Moss Design lamp.
