EDITOR’S LET TER

Design Is a Mirror

Former ELLE DECOR editor in chief Marian McEvoy (1991–2000) knows her way around a glue gun. Her Corkillage mirrors, which come in multiple shapes and sizes, are future heirlooms. 16.5″ sq.,

magazine comes with challenges (I should know—I’ve worked on three of them). How do you celebrate history without making something that feels like a relic? And is there any way to honestly look back that doesn’t seem overly nostalgic or self-congratulatory, even in this era of selfie culture?

The answer, we found, is to design a modern issue that looks to our past to inform the present: Introducing the 30th-anniversary collector’s edition of ELLE DECOR . Over the past few months, our small but mighty team has done a deep dive into ED’s DNA. Our editors have interviewed dozens of longtime contributors, asked our A-List of 140-plus interior designers for their best memories and stories, and reread hundreds of back issues of ELLE DECOR . We then tapped our roster of brilliant contributing photographers to shoot a slew of new projects that convey where American decorating is right now.

We start with Martyn Lawrence Bullard’s home in Hollywood. What I love about this house is that it encapsulates our namesake to a T: Like ED, an American decorating magazine born out of a French fashion book, Bullard’s house is a truly global enterprise. Here is a British-born decorator, with a career based in Hollywood, whose living room looks straight out of a Moroccan riad. After wishing that you, too, could coffer your ceiling in Moorish geometric, I advise you to turn to a special section, which we are calling “ELLE DECOR ’s 30 Rules to Live By.” From an essay by Bunny Williams on why patina matters to Diane von Furstenberg’s musings on the cross-pollination between fashion and home to a reminder on the toll that AIDS took on the design industry by ED A-Lister James Huniford and a fanciful dinner party dreamed up by Ken Fulk, it’s a wonderful, funny (and not overly nostalgic!) portrait of our world in the last 48

ELLE DECOR

30 years. There’s also an homage to the ladies who lunched at Le Cirque, circa 1989, from ED’s longtime chef, my friend Daniel Boulud, who shares with us his favorite dessert from the high-flying decade. Then it’s off to a decorating master class in Savannah, Georgia, with Chuck Chewning as our style professor; and to Miami Beach, where a perennial ED star, Lee F. Mindel, executes a Pop Art–icon masterpiece.

We then visit a timeless and exquisite Hearst family house in New York’s Hudson Valley, and finally, we head to Southampton, where my decorating hero, Peter Marino, reveals one of the most beautiful, unusual, and lovingly curated collections of French porcelain I’ve ever seen.

What are the big revelations of this trip down memory lane? Well, surprisingly, they have very little to do with trends or what’s hot in design and what’s not. If at its core design is a mirror, then for the last three decades ELLE DECOR’s primary mission has been to showcase how design is a ref lection of our times. At its heart, our magazine and brand is about people who have a point of view. ELLE DECOR has helped to make and shape countless careers, from product designers to decorators to architects. In turn, these talented professionals have shown our readers how design can make us feel better, think better, and live better.

So let’s all raise a toast and take their advice: Set a beautiful table, re-cover an armchair, paint a wall your favorite color, take on a design project you didn’t think you could, and collect what you love, no matter how weird or wild. I am even hearing rumors that brown furniture is about to make a comeback. I certainly hope so. ◾

OR THE SEASONED PRODUCTION DESIGNER DONAL

Woods, turning the TV series Downton Abbey into a feature film (opening September 20) meant preserving the polished look of the show while making it “even grander.” While the sets have been mothballed for six years, the real Jacobethan estate where Downton was filmed—Highclere Castle—is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Hampshire, England. “They used to get 100 visitors a weekend,” Woods says. “Now they get 4,000 a day.”

Woods and his team tossed out the tourists and moved back in, dusting off the furniture, adding new bedding and plaster, draping walls in silk damask, and building a silver room, wine cellar, and butler’s cottage from the ground up.

But these additions to Downton hardly mean that the Crawley family is prospering. The film tracks the aristocratic clan as their fortunes dwindle and they struggle to secure the

estate’s future while preparing for an untimely visit from the king that calls for the finest livery and the best crystal.

The story picks up six months after the series finale, in 1927, when Art Deco is at its peak. Like most English country houses of the time, however, Downton remains comfortably embalmed in Edwardian grandeur.

Woods and his team relished the chance to contrast period furniture and Highclere’s original Elizabethan Revival architecture against Lady Mary’s geometric flapper frocks and curvaceous motorcars that scream Jazz Age as they pull up the pebbled drive. All of the design details were meticulously checked for historical accuracy, from the 20-horsepower Daimler limousine that carries the king to the stamps on the palace stationery. “We’ve always striven to get the right ink on letters, the right clothes,” Woods says.

“You must feel transported.” —Stephen Heyman

ELLE DECOR is 30

years old this year. Do you remember the first project of yours we published?

MS: It was for Lisa Henson, the daughter of Jim Henson, in 1995, and it was the first home I ever had published in any national magazine.

Is Lisa Henson still a client?

MS: We’re doing a project for her in Telluride, Colorado.

Everything in the house was carved in Bhutan.

Where were you when you were 30?

MS: In Los Angeles, newly married, and just starting my career. I established my firm in a little corner of my mother’s office and did everything myself.

I recall sponging a bathroom—a cringeworthy paint effect that’s thankfully dead. I’d also stand on a ladder to hang window treatments.

Which trends from the past three decades do you miss?

MS: Santa Fe style, Deco Revival, and English country house.

Your new decorating book, No Place Like Home (Rizzoli), is coming out this month.

What do you want readers to take away from it?

MS: I hope readers appreciate the diversity of the work and how each of the interiors is a true reflection of both the architecture and the people who live there.

You grew up in Hollywood. As a child, didn’t you play a bit role in the 1971 movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, which your father, Mel Stuart, directed?

MS: I resent that question. It was not a bit role! It was a star-making moment in a pivotal scene.

[Laughs.] I’m very proud of the work I did in that film, and of my pigtails.

Where should people never seek inspiration for their homes?

MS: Hotels.

What are some features that homes will have 30 years from now?

MS: Hopefully a comfortable sofa will still be a priority.

chocolate, Switzerland is also noteworthy for its beautiful architecture and, of course, for its exceptional watches.

This, after all, is the country that produced Francesco Borromini and Le Corbusier, titans of the man-made environment, and Rolex and Patek Philippe, whose timepieces are among the most coveted on earth. For the past 15 years, the two categories have increasingly overlapped, with some stellar outcomes, resulting in a trend best dubbed “watchitecture.”

In 2004, Vacheron Constantin unveiled an eye-popping, metallic “envelope”-shaped headquarters in Geneva designed by a native son, architect Bernard Tschumi. Five years later, Greubel Forsey moved its La Chaux–de-Fonds atelier into a Pierre Studer building with a gleaming vitreous facade that seems to be growing straight out of the ground.

Earlier this year, in the lovely tow n of Biel / Bien ne, Omega opened an ambitious five-story st ate - of-t he -a r t fac tor y. T he 171-year-old brand, whose iconic timepieces have graced the wrists of Prince William and the moonwalking astronauts of Apollo 11, gave the commission to Pritzker Prize–winning Japanese architect

Shigeru Ban. For the facade, Ban chose a rectangular shape with a hipped roof, a nod to the original Omega buildings that surround it.

The timber-and-glass husk also alludes to Louis Kahn’s Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut, and Walter Gropius’s Bauhaus school in Dessau, Germany, while demonstrating Ban’s signature élan and love of geometry.

Inside, beyond the concrete and unvarnished spruce beams, Ban has built a futuristic temple to Swiss efficiency with a three-story robotic storage vault rendered virtually fireproof due to highly regulated oxygen flow. The upper f loors encompass every step of the watchmaking process, from assembly to shipping and quality control. It’s a sight to behold. With the long-awaited opening of Bjarke Ingels’s Audemars Piguet headquarters extension, which will be shaped like a whirling propeller, in Vallée de Joux next year, this is one phenomenon that keeps on ticking. —C.C.

Southern Charm WE SPENT A DAY WITH MITCHELL GOLD AND BOB WILLIAMS, WHOSE PIONEERING FURNITURE BRAND CELEBRATES ITS 30TH THIS YEAR TOO.

BY TIM McKEOUGH PRODUCED BY PARKER BOWIE L ARSON PHOTOGR APHS BY CHRIS BR ANTLEY

N 1989, M ITCH EL L G O L D A N D B O B W I L L I A M S

founded their eponymous furniture firm in Taylorsville, North Carolina, with the vision of delivering livable, contemporary style with a lead time that was a fraction of the industry norm—a few weeks instead of a few months. The pair rapidly grew their boutique operation into one of the most respected home-furnishings manufacturers in the country, producing everything from sofas to tables to lighting. Along the way, Gold and Williams championed sustainability long before it was in vogue and pushed to demolish dated ideas about families with attentiongrabbing ads featuring same-sex parents and an openly gay former high-school football player.

Today, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams continues to set the bar for everyday American style. ELLE DECOR recently caught up with the founders for an inside look at their typical day.

Williams rises at 5 A .M. “I go to the gym first, then come home and get ready for work,” he says, just as sunlight begins filtering into the 1947 house in Hickory, North Carolina, he shares with his husband, Stephen Heavner. Breakfast is an opportunity to admire one of his prized possessions: a restored 1936 eight-burner, three-oven Magic Chef range. “I found it in this little-bitty antique appliance shop in Georgia, and it took a year to restore,” he says.

For Gold, daybreak means it’s time for omelets with his husband, Tim Gold, at their house in Conover, North Carolina. “It usually involves a lot of leftovers, but my specialty is the hamburger omelet,” he says. “One night, Tim ate half of his burger and said he wanted the rest for breakfast.

It was on the bun, with tomato, cheese, onions. I jokingly chopped that up, dipped it in egg batter, 58

and made him an omelet—and it was incredible.”

By 8:30, Gold climbs into his 1986 Jeep Honcho for the 20-minute drive to the company’s 1 million–square-foot Taylorsville factory. “We put a Vortec 6.0 engine in the Honcho—it’s like a souped-up Corvette engine—so it’s not just cool-looking, it’s also superfast and sounds badass,” Gold says. “Living in a rural area, I think I gained a lot of credibility. Bob has truck envy.”

At the factory, Gold handles pressing business issues, including financing and production, while Williams and his design team aim to divine future home trends. “We’re constantly evolving and trying to stay ahead,” Williams says. “We’re doing more modern styles than we did in the past, like the Poppy,” a swivel chair with a cylindrical form that already has a place in his own living room.

Then, the partners turn their attention to their 1,000 employees. “We’re out in the middle of nowhere, so we put in a day care 7:00 P.M. for our employees’ children, called Lulu’s Child Enrichment Gold and Tim (right) at home Center,” Williams says. “On with their dogs. graduation day, it’s fun to see the kids in their caps and gowns.”

There are also meals prepared by the compa ny chef, Sea n Robinson. “His team makes a healthy breakfast and lunch at the factory every day,” Gold says. (A typical entrée: grilled grouper with a puree of cauliflower and butternut squash.)

When Gold hosts a meeting at home, Robinson prepares a Cobb salad with grilled salmon.

When their workday wraps up a round 6 P. M ., Gold a nd Williams motor home to frolic with their dogs, which have been a central part of their lives—and brand—since day one. “Tim and I love taking care of dogs,” Gold says. “In addition to our Doberman, Zola, and our Lab mix, Elsie, we train dogs from the Humane Society. Tim turned the space above our garage into what we call the Puppy Palace. We get them into good health and find them homes. For some dogs, it’s lifesaving.”

For Williams, there are few things more enjoyable than pouring a glass of wine and relaxing with his husband and pups. “We live in a big house, but we have a really nice den, painted a dark chocolate, that feels more intimate,” he says.

“It has a built-in bookcase filled with things we’ve collected over the years. We just chill and play with Violet and Petey.”

Petey, he adds, was one of the Golds’ rescue dogs: “He’s as sweet as can be, and he licks us to death every night.” mgbwhome.com ◾

ED CONTRIBUTING EDITOR BUNNY WILLIAMS TELLS US THE RIGHT WAY TO DECORATE.

Y

OU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR

house just li ke you ta ke ca re of yourself: Keep it f it and in good spirits. Part of my obligation as a decorator is to make people feel at home. You design a place for living in, not for a photo shoot. I’m a lways t h i n k i ng about t he f u r n it u re arrangements and proper lighting. Everything that goes into the design has to be comfortable and welcoming.

I grew up in Virginia, in Albemarle County. We lived on the same street as my cousins, and everyone entertained at home.

When I was little, I would get excited about going to Aunt Berta’s for Sunday lunch or to my godmother’s for a party. That was one of the reasons I wanted to be a decorator: to work on residences because I care about how people live.

ELLE DECOR

People make such a production out of entertaining. If you have a well-appointed bar and a can of peanuts and maybe some salsa and some chips, you can say, “Come over!” And if you know how to set a table, the food can just be a big salad and cold chicken. Everything should seem effortless.

When I was working at Parish-Hadley, you’d see people who lived on a totally different scale. I remember Babe Paley had a book in each of her houses that detailed all of the tablesettings she’d ever done, so that if she had guests coming for dinner, she could call her staff and say, “Set style number three.” I thought that was unbelievable.

It’s easier to live well now than it was 30 years ago, when it was more formal. I want a very clean, beautiful-smelling house, but I’m never going to say, “Take your shoes off!” A little patina never hurt anything.

“It always strikes (and delights) me how much decorating is like writing. You take a blank, empty space (or house or room or page) and create an entire universe in it—a story, a history, a look, a feel, a mood. You fill it with beautiful things you love, you design it just the way you want. You breathe life into it, and it comes alive; it has a soul either by the time you decorate it or create it in a book, and it becomes real. I love designing and decorating. So far I’ve only decorated 19th-century (and turn-of-the-century) houses, and never a modern one. I love the challenge, charm, and legends of old houses, the aura of the people who once lived there, whether in a book or a home.” —Danielle Steel Steel is the best-selling author of 162 books, including her latest novel, The Dark Side.

THE ETERNALLY CHIC DIANE VON FURSTENBERG MUSES ON THE CONNECTION BETWEEN FASHION AND HOME.

FASHION AND HOME ARE LINKED BY THE CONCEPT OF

image. Both are about the idea of designing your life: You dress to project who you want to be, and you decorate your home as you want to live. But sometimes a person’s fashion sense can be different from their interiors aesthetic. For example, I was surprised when I visited the fashion designer Dries Van Noten’s castle country house, designed by Gert Voorjans, in Lier, Belgium. It was so lavish—not at all what I expected based on his richly printed yet restrained clothes. And the acres of gardens, landscaped by Erik Dhont, were exquisite.

When it comes to my homes and surroundings, I like things to be comfortable, eclectic, and utilitarian. I love huge sofas and lots of books, photos, and art that I am passionate about, usually from my contemporaries. It’s great to support my friends who are artists. I prefer bold prints—wearing them and in my environment.

I have done home-decor pieces at various points in my career. I’ve designed fabrics for interiors and decorated suites at Claridge’s in London and other hotels around the world. The surroundings I create are not traditional, but then again, neither am I.

The Invitation

The Guest List

“An old-fashioned Western Union telegram that says, ‘Please join me for the meal of a lifetime.

Come to the Stork Club at 3 East 53rd Street.

Tuesday at 8 P.M. Ken.’ ”

“Elizabeth Taylor circa 1963 for beauty and some trouble, Oscar Wilde for his naughty wit, a young Paul Newman to stare at longingly, and a 19-year-old Barbra Streisand to serenade us.”

“Frances Elkins dining chairs covered in Scalamandré’s Le Tigre silk velvet around a classic Stork Club banquette.

The skirted table would be covered in a Pierre Frey Tourmaline silk velvet trimmed in multihued bullion fringe.

The tableware would be from Richard Ginori’s Oriente Italiano collection in Malachite, with monogrammed napkins from Leontine Linens and engraved Buccellati flatware.

To top it off, there would be a pair of vintage silver candlesticks with extralong pink tapers. Animalshaped place-card holders complete the scene.”

first published, the number of AIDS ca ses i n t he Un ited States had reached 100,000 and was climbing at an alarming rate. Before the mid-’90s brought hope in the form of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), a positive diagnosis was almost always a death sentence.

Legendary interior designers Angelo Donghia and Michael Taylor, as well as architect Horace Gifford, are among the giants of design we lost to the disease during those early years.

I’m proud to say that the design community never stayed silent or inert during that terrible period, a fact we should all know and remember. It’s time to celebrate the brave and compassionate people who stepped up and created organizations to help combat the devastating effects of AIDS, including the Alpha Workshops, Bailey House, Housing Works, and Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA), along with Design on a Dime, which I founded in 2004 and which has raised more than $18 million for men, women, and children living with HIV/AIDS in neighborhoods throughout New York City.

There have been many advances in care since the late ’80s, but AIDS is still a very real threat. As long as people around the world continue to die from it, the world of design will be there to help those in need.

27. Square Footage Is Just a Number

My career truly began in the pages of elle decor. When I was about to turn 30, the great Marian McEvoy published my first two-room apartment in ED. Margaret Russell was the sittings editor; William Waldron took the photographs. I was so excited that I’d had much too good a time the night before, and for my portrait shoot, let’s just say I was in agony.

By the time the issue came out, the architectural office where I worked was partnering with Jacques Grange on a project. In a meeting Jacques picked up the magazine, grinned at me, and shouted, “Sweet chic!” I had never felt like that before in my life. —David Netto

The living room of the House of ELLE DECOR , in a penthouse at 108 Leonard Street in TriBeCa, which was designed by Neal Beckstedt with interiors by Jeffrey Beers. The sofas and cocktail table are by Minotti, the dining table is custom, and the vintage club chairs and Jean Prouvé daybed are covered in Élitis fabrics. The Frits Henningsen wingback chair, Philip Arctander Clam chairs, and Louis XVI dining chairs and fauteuil are all vintage. The pendant and lamps are by Circa Lighting, the rug is from Mansour, and the artworks are by Larry Zox from Elizabeth Sadoff. The walls are painted in Strong White, and the ceiling cove is in Setting Plaster, both by Farrow & Ball.

In the wine room, the vintage sofa and armchair are upholstered in Élitis fabrics, the tables are by Molteni&C, and the ebony screen is by Liaigre.

The brass wine display is by Amuneal, the lamps are by Circa Lighting, the rug is from Mansour, and the room is painted in Farrow & Ball’s Picture Gallery Red. The Zox artwork is from Elizabeth Sadoff.

designed by the legendary architecture f irm McK im, Mead & White, who also created Grand Central Terminal and the original Pennsylvania Station. The Italian Renaissance Revival–style facade, which is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, was restored by the architect Howard L. Zimmerman.

Jeff rey Beers , a n a rch itect known for his hospitality interiors, was tapped to transform the building into a condominium with more than 160 residences. “To complement the heavily ornamented original exterior,” Beers says, “we designed them to blend old and new, with a light palette and a layout both functional and elegant.”

For Beckstedt, whose aesthetic often blends past and present (“I love John Pawson and the king of France!”), the venue could not be more suited. “The interior archi92

tecture is traditional but in a modern way,” he says. All of the vintage and antique furniture used came from Beckstedt’s collection.

He designed the penthouse with a hypothetical client in mind: a well-traveled international couple with no children. For inspiration, he plumbed back issues of ELLE DECOR (he keeps years’ worth of copies neatly stacked in his Brooklyn apartment and at his house in Sag Harbor on Long Island). The thread he found running through every issue was a layering of color, pattern, and texture. “The ELLE DECOR projects I looked at were very avant-garde,” he says. “That’s what I wanted to capture.”

Here, those layers are immediately on display in the foyer, which is painted in three Farrow & Ba l l colors—Fa r row ’s Cream on the ceiling, Pigeon on the walls, and Blue Gray on

It’s a cozy prelude to the soaring adjacent living room, where large-scale abstract Color Field paintings by the late Larry Zox vibrate against stark white walls. The space contains a veritable Tut’s tomb of timeless furniture: modern sofas from Minotti, Louis X V I dining chairs, and 20th-century classics by Philip Arctander and Jean Prouvé, all upholstered in Élitis fabrics of In the master bedroom, a custom four-poster bed is topped with an Élitis fabric. The custom sofa and vintage armchairs are covered in fabrics by Élitis, the cocktail table is by Ralph Pucci, the chandelier and lamp are by Circa Lighting, and the rug is from Mansour.

The living room leads into what is arguably the boldest space in the penthouse: a wine room with walls lacquered a high-gloss red.

Most of the room’s ingredients—a Napoleon chair, a vintage sofa, a Mansour rug, and another Zox painting—match the bold color.

For contrast, Beckstedt added black accents from Liaigre and Molteni&C and f loor-to-ceiling brass-and-glass wine racks. “You want that drama,” he says.

There’s certainly no dearth of drama in this world he’s created.

The levels of intensity ebb and flow from room to room, as deep red turns to a more earthy mood in the study, where a birch wallcovering by Phillip Jeffries is paired with a Mansour shag rug. Then light hues return for a breath in the master bedroom suite, where the bathroom is clad in Calacatta Mandria marble and the serene bedroom is anchored by a minimalist four-poster knotty pine bed designed by Beckstedt.

And then it’s back through the living room to the kitchen, where a wall framing views of midtown Manhattan is covered in a patchwork of pure gold leaf. “There is a surprise around every corner,” Beckstedt says.

Meanwhile, the penthouse is available for $12.1 million, and all of the furniture and art is for sale, too. What better way is there to live than in a home that has been published in ELLE DECOR ? ◾

AND EIGHT THINGS HE CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT

BY VANESSA L AWRENCE Growing up in Virginia, surrounded by some of America’s oldest houses, Steven Gambrel learned from an early age to respect history—within reason.

“I understood that things have to evolve in order to remain alive and that you can’t expect things to survive in their entirety,” says Gambrel, an ED A-Lister who founded his eponymous New York–based design and architecture firm in 1996. “I’ve had a really nice relationship with change.” Indeed, he has applied his modern eye to a far-reaching oeuvre of landmark projects like an 1840s Bridgehampton farmhouse and school building and a 1929 Art Deco Chicago apartment (both of which were featured in ED), not to mention the Plaza hotel’s Astor Suite. Gambrel is also the cofounder of the digital interior-design resource Dering Hall and channels his love of American craftsmanship into a line of lighting products with the Urban Electric Co. His latest endeavor hits particularly close to home: He is painstakingly renovating a prewar West Village townhouse he recently purchased. “Over the years, I’ve enjoyed the fact that some things stick, and I want to push that idea; at the same time, there are other pieces I want to rethink,” says Gambrel of his personal approach to decorating. “I’m not trying to come up with a perfect story that I’m forever beholden to. I want to enjoy the process and let it evolve.” srgambrel.com

This Is Your Color

Where were you in 1989? And what color were your walls? Perhaps they were Quite Red (in 1989, the Reagan years were still a recent memory). How about the early 1990s, when a Calvin Klein neutral palette (quietly) jump-started a minimalist wave in American living rooms? Or 2008, when Millennial Pink still felt fresh? Like runway trends, what’s fashionable in paint is ever changing. To chart the most popular shades in each of ELLE DECOR ’s 30 years of existence, our editors embarked on a color deep dive: We scoured the design industry, interviewing 12 of the world’s top paint companies, from established players like Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and Behr to newcomers like Clare and Ressource Peintures. We talked to eight color designers (the people who create the formulas), three color forecasters, and dozens of ED’s own A-List decorators around the world. We also looked at more than 300 back issues of ED to come up with the definitive list of the top paint colors for each year in these three decades. Pry open a can for a colorful trip down memory lane.

ELLE DECOR ’S LONGTIME COLUMNIST DANIEL BOULUD RECALLS THE LATE 1980S, WHEN LUNCH WAS KING AND A FLOATING-ISLAND DESSERT WAS THE PERFECT FINISH.

pasta primavera, black-tie sea scallops laced with truffles, and restaurants that served weightless mountains of cotton candy that echoed ladies’ hairstyles of the day.

When ELLE DECOR was launched 30 years ago, lunch was the main event. New York’s Le Cirque, where I was chef from 1986 to 1992, was the place to be and be seen. You’d have Andy Warhol sitting next to Jackie Onassis, who came for the nine-herb ravioli, sitting next to Betsy Bloomingdale and Barbara Walters holding court at her table.

Back then, everyone dressed up for lunch—and they didn’t just take pictures of their food, they really ate it.

Dessert was obligatory and often a showstopper, both in taste and appearance. The most iconic example was an île

flottante—floating island—sent to the table crowned with a cage of spun sugar. You’d crack the exterior and eat the caramel, or the waiter would daintily lift it off for you. Either way, it was a little bit of childish magic and fun at the end of a meal that was all about the drama.

The île is an elegant set piece and a zero-waste dessert: The egg yolks go into the custardy sauce, and the whites are whipped into the delicate floating islands that conceal tart fruits. Here, I suggest orange and cranberry, but you can use whatever suits your taste or the season: pomegranates or raspberries would be equally at home. And if you’re serving adults, put some booze in the cream. I like orange liqueur, but rum works too. It’s a chic throwback that is just as charming today as it was three decades ago.

DANIEL’S KITCHENS

ÎLE FLOTTANTE SERVES 6–8

MERINGUE 17 oz. egg whites ¾ cup sugar ¾ cup honey, slightly warmed ORANGE CRÈME ANGLAISE 25 oz. cream 25 oz. milk 2 vanilla beans, split in half 11 oz. egg yolks ¾ cup sugar 3½ oz. Grand Marnier or 3½ oz. milk CANDIED CRANBERRIES 2 cups cranberries, fresh or frozen 1 cup sugar 2 cups water PLATING Candied cranberries 2 oranges, peel removed with a knife, sliced into segments

2. Choose your desired

mold for the meringue; it must be something that can be heated in the oven.

This can be a cupcake tin or heat-resistant bowl. If you do not wish to use a mold, you may also spoon the meringue onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Coat the inside of the mold evenly and generously with cooking spray to prevent the meringue from sticking.

3. Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites on medium speed. When the whites are fluffy, slowly add the sugar in small batches. Let the meringue continue to whip on 118 E L L E D E C O R

medium speed to dissolve all the sugar. When the meringue begins to look firm, slowly pour in the slightly warmed honey. Whip until just incorporated.

4. Using a spoon, fill the

molds with the meringue, about ¾ full, as the meringue will rise. Smaller amounts may take only 2 to 3 minutes to steam.

Larger meringues may take up to 10 minutes. If you are uncertain how long to bake, start with a lower amount of time and check the meringue periodically until it springs back to the touch but is still airy.

5. When you finish baking,

set the meringue aside to cool and then remove from

the mold or baking sheet onto a clean plate that has been lightly sprayed with cooking oil. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

FOR THE CRÈME ANGLAISE 6. Bring the cream and milk

to a boil with the split vanilla beans. Cover and infuse for 10 minutes, scrape the vanilla beans well, then remove them.

7. In a bowl, whisk the egg

yolks and sugar. Pour about ⅓ of the hot cream–andmilk mixture into the bowl, then whisk to combine. Put everything back inside the pot and cook on medium heat until the mixture reaches 180°F. Using a finemesh sieve, strain the

crème anglaise. Add the Grand Marnier or milk and set aside. Chill and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

FOR THE CANDIED CRANBERRIES 8. Poke the cranberries with a skewer so they do not burst in the syrup.

Bring the sugar and water to a boil, place the cranberries inside the syrup, and turn to a low simmer.

Cook for a couple of minutes until tender, then turn off the pot and leave covered. Allow the liquid to come to room temperature and reserve in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

PLATING 9. When you are ready to

plate the île flottante, choose the bowl you would like to present it in.

Fill the bowl about ⅔ of the way with the cold crème anglaise. Lightly distribute some of the orange segments and candied cranberries on top of the crème anglaise. Then gently place the meringue into the bowl to make the floating island. At Restaurant Daniel, we top the meringue with a homemade caramel cage; at home, an easy option is to sprinkle smashed butterscotch candies on top for crunch.

10. A large île flottante

can be sliced and served family-style. Otherwise, serve individually in small bowls. ◾

FOR THE MERINGUE 1. Preheat the oven to 215°F. Place a casserole dish filled with water on the bottom rack of the oven to create a steam bath.

OUR HUNGRY FRIENDS SHOW UP UNEXPECTEDLY AT YOUR

home. What’s a host or hostess to do? If you are the EGOT (Em my, Gra m my, Osca r, Tony) w i n ner a nd The View moderator Whoopi Goldberg, you create an eclectic and whimsical table and serve them lunch. In her new book, The Unqualified Hostess: I Do It My Way, So You Can Too (Rizzoli), Goldberg outlines her relaxed hosting philosophy, which she sums up as “Well, if Whoopi can do this, so can I.” Her passion for entertaining began as a child, when she and her brother, Clyde, helped their mother set the table. She advises her readers to do as she does and raid their stash of plates, glassware, and other table accoutrements to concoct a joyful assemblage. Goldberg draws on a vast tableware collection that includes such fanciful items as high heel–bedecked stemware and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs–motif table linens. “If there’s a toy that would make you smile, put it on the table,” she urges. “There’s already enough darkness in the world. I’m all for cheer.” ◾

pad in Miami, Cher’s Buddhist-behaving-badly retreat in L.A., and Kylie Jenner’s playpen in Hidden Hills. But for his latest decorating coup, a Moroccan-meets-midcentury oasis in West Hollywood, Martyn Lawrence Bullard had only himself to please. The house, the ED A-Lister says, “is all me.”

Perched on a hill above the Chateau Marmont, the 1923 Spanish villa has a Hollywood history as impressive as Bullard’s two other homes—the Villa Swanson, built for Rudolph Valentino in Los Angeles, and a Palm Springs hideaway once decked out by Roger Moore in James Bond style.

Bullard’s newest residence has an equally storied past. Ike and Tina Turner once harmonized in its entryway, and in the 1960s its then-owners, young marrieds Dennis Hopper and Brooke Hayward, entertained a bohemian swirl of old and new Hollywood, rock royalty, and Hells Angels here, with a living room full of art by Andy Warhol and Ed Ruscha.

“I always thought it was the perfect house,” says Bullard, who decorated the home for the first time in the early aughts, when it belonged to the original Daily Show host, Craig Kilborn. So two years ago, when it came on the market, he scooped it up for himself ahead of his pal Melanie Griffith. “It wasn’t right for Melanie—it didn’t have a big enough closet at the time,” quips the star of Bravo’s Million Dollar Decorators, who fancies a bit of Gucci himself and has since added a closet room.

The airy interior is a showcase for the decorator’s signature “exotica,” with loads of Moroccan arches, marble floors, black-and-white tiles, sexy seating, warm leafy accents, cool brass, vintage photography, and Brit wit. “What I’ve done with this house is add a lot of midcentury things mixed with antiques,” says Bullard, who lives with his partner, producer Michael Green, and their wheaten terrier, Daisy.

“We had Brad [Southwick], my artist, on his back for three weeks painting the ceiling,” he says of the black-and-white trellis design in the living room, echoed in the graphic fireplace tile, green print on the MLB Atelier sofas, and ikat pillows. (“Martyn hires painters that look like Brad Pitt!” jokes his friend and client Ellen Pompeo, adding of his design approach, “he understands lifestyle.”)

A light sculpture is displayed on an MLB Atelier table in the entry. The brass stool is by the Haas Brothers, the marble stairs and ďŹ&#x201A;oor are custom, and the iron stair rail is original.

126 E L L E D E C O R

Bullard’s advice for mixing patterns? “Complete, not combat”—and pay attention to scale. The room’s quirky touches include a pair of Maison Jansen palm-tree lamps, antique marble sculpture fragments, and a mantel full of art pottery, with a single pot draped in a late-18th-century Indonesian tribal wedding necklace: “I like symmetry,” Bullard notes, “but then I like to throw it off.”

The screening room, tented in stripes, is ready to rock the casbah, with a fuchsia daybed, Turkish inlaid tables, and Moroccan poufs scored at the souk. “We love snuggling up with the dog and watching movies,” Bullard says. Another favorite spot is the outdoor firepit that faces the jewel box of a bar inside, where he mixes Aperol spritzes. “It’s all pictures of people drinking!” he says of the collection of photographs hanging among his Royal Fernery wallpaper for Cole & Son. “My favorite is the queen...and Frank Sinatra landing in Palm Springs with a glass of scotch.”

Making people feel welcome is paramount, Bullard observes as he continues the tour upstairs. “We always put in minibars to keep our guest rooms fully stocked,” he says, opening a drawer full of his favorite English treats.

“He doesn’t take himself too seriously,” notes another friend, RuPaul. “He’s aware of the hilarity, absurdity, and beauty of life.”

With a zebra rug underfoot, the master bedroom resembles a safari-lodge tree house—with a view

of the party animals on nearby Sunset Boulevard.

“I custom designed this bed,” Bullard says of the four-poster. “I love the idea of brass and black.”

He renovated the floor to make room for a master bath with an enormous brass Catchpole & Rye tub from his hometown of Kent, England. On the bathroom wall, he paired framed 17th- and 18th-century anatomy drawings with Herb Ritts and Bruce Weber body photographs.

Bullard loves to entertain friends (“We don’t cook—we deliver!”), and he’s created lots of options for a movable feast. A more formal dining area with a 1970s brass pedestal table and space-age chandelier flows right into the Christopher Peacock–designed kitchen, with a high-top marble table and brass pendants from Bullard’s Corbett Lighting collection.

Green accents (the kitchen chairs, custom cabinetry, and Moroccan tile) pick up the colors of the leafy garden just beyond the glass doors. Outside, the pool has inviting seating nooks, firepits, and side tables for dining on pizza fresh out of the outdoor oven.

“I really like to make the most of different areas and have drinks in one, dinner in another, then watch a movie,” says Bullard, who recently designed the Sands Hotel & Spa in Palm Springs and the Hotel Californian in Santa Barbara. “That’s what I did with this house—I created my own destination.” ◾ In the dining room, the vintage MasterCraft table base has a custom Caesarstone top.

Mindel is known as a bold minimalist, but this does not mean that his projects aren’t thickly braided with narrative complexity. It is this duality—a layered, impressionistic backstory expressed in a lucid, streamlined lexicon—that gives his work such a sophisticated frisson. Known for designing (with his business partner, Peter Shelton, who died in 2012) Sting and Trudie Styler’s London townhouse and Ralph Lauren’s Man hattan headquarters, Mindel combines intensive historical research with a keen grasp of modernism’s lesser-known (and less ubiquitous) masters. To this he adds an almost psychoanalytic attention to his clients’ needs and inchoate desires.

A most recent, sunlit case in point: the capacious pied-à-terre he finished for an entertainment executive, his wife, and their four children in what

132 E L L E D E C O R

is referred to as the Mid-Beach neighborhood of Miami Beach. The condominium is part of the Faena District, a luxurious six-block-long complex with Norman Foster–designed apartments, an arts center by Rem Koolhaas, and a Faena hotel fancifully outfitted by the film director Baz Luhrmann and his wife, the costume designer Catherine Martin. The project’s Argentine developer, Alan Faena (whose Miami Beach home was featured last December in ELLE DECOR ), launched a similarly spectacular Faena District in Rio de Janeiro in 2013.

Mindel wanted the getaway apartment, which the family uses when they are not at

home in Manhattan or at their beach house on Long Island, to reflect their energy and exuberance as well as the strong sense of color and place that lured them to the Faena District. Mindel had designed several other homes for them, so he knew their rhythms, how they would want to experience instant delight just walking into the apartment during their Miami escapes. “My process is somewhat musical,” he says. “I start with what is around me, take in all the influences, and listen to what drew the client to the place. It winds up all making sense.”

Unsurprisingly for a Miami roost, the apartment, which was combined from two units, is

A Willy Rizzo table is surrounded by Verner Panton–style chairs from Design Within Reach in the dining room. The Mono Sushi sofa by the Campana Brothers was purchased at auction at Phillips London.

mostly white. But that’s just the opening sonata.

Mindel employs a series of dramatic hues and wittily knowing shapes to offset the neutrality and give the place a subtle subtext. The embedded references—some quite oblique, others droll—are of the vast Atlantic and the simple joy of living on the beach. They also reflect the district’s signature crayon hues, especially the cherry red and white–striped beach umbrellas, lifeguard stands, and cabanas that dot the resort’s substantial ocean frontage.

“The key,” Mindel explains, “is always context. Minimalism that embraces its surroundings becomes regional modernism, a completely different animal.”

A less meticulous designer might skimp on the unglamorous areas that hold the elaborate mechanicals of such a home, but Min-

del never resists a challenge: He transformed that juncture (also the point at which the two original units are joined) into an enchanting alcove. He designed a circular closet with sunshine-yellow millwork and suspended a series of white wire jellyfish sculptures by Benedetta Mori Ubaldini from the ceiling. With a games table ringed by whimsical acrylic chairs, the space is instantly gladdening. “My mission is to create a sense of joy,” Mindel says.

BEFORE MIDNIGHT CHUCK CHEWNING REIMAGINES ONE OF THE GRANDEST TOWNHOUSES IN SAVANNAH FOR ONE OF THE CITYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S TOP RESTAURATEURS.

should be. Just ask Savannah, Georgia, restaurateur John O. “Johno” Morisano and his wife, Carol A. Sawdye. In 2010, the New York couple took a road trip through the American South. When they arrived in Savannah, they fell so hard for the historic port city, with its grid of formal squares and centenary live oaks dripping with Spanish moss, that they bought a house and began to split their time between there and Manhattan.

Four years later, Johno and Mashama Bailey, the sous-chef of the highly regarded restaurant Prune in New York’s East Village, opened the Grey, an award-winning Southern brasserie set in the town’s long-abandoned Art Deco–era Greyhound bus depot. The Grey hit big, and not only with locals—the New York Times praised it as a place “that compels customers to linger willingly”—and it launched a culinary renaissance in Savannah.

Life was almost perfect. But Sawdye, who is COO of PricewaterhouseCoopers as well as a keen swimmer, longed for a pool, and their home had no place for one. The couple snooped around and found an 8,500-square-foot antebellum townhouse steps off the city’s famed Monterey Square, with a 40-foot-long lap pool in the courtyard and 140 E L L E D E C O R

owners who were considering a move. The two families quietly traded properties.

Soon a f ter, t he couple c a l led t hei r f r iend , t he Savannah-based interior designer Chuck Chewning, a former creative director of Donghia and design director of Studio Rubelli in Venice, to take a look. Chewning, who had recently renovated the Gritti Palace on Venice’s Grand Canal, was aghast. From the street, the 1880s house is handsome, with a stucco-and-stone facade and airy Charleston-style porches along the side. But inside, it was dark—brown walls, brown moldings, brown doors. When asked what he thought, Chewning was blunt. “It’s dreary and depressing, like the Munsters live here,” he told Morisano. A few days later, he had a solution: paint the interior stark white, “so I could see the architecture, the light and proportions,” he recalls. “Then I could start building.”

Traditional Savannah-style decorating—heavy on Victorian, swathed in rich fabrics—did not feel right for this project. Chewning instead set out to combine the clients’ cool New York vibe with a contemporary Southern zeal.

That meant midcentury-modern pieces mixed with good Continental antiques and a cheerful palette that accentuates Savannah’s warm light. Thanks to the Savannah College of

Art and Design, the city has a vibrant art scene; much of the artwork in the house was locally commissioned.

As a nod to Morisano’s profession, the dining room was designed to feel like a gourmet restaurant, with a banquette-like sofa below the window and an oval table.

The upstairs floor-through master suite incorporates a home office for Sawdye. “It’s a world unto its own,” Chewning says.

The heart of the house, however, is the sprawling kitchen-cum-den. “We can have real fun with this space,” Chewning told his clients. Morisano suggested “bringing in elements of the Grey,” Chewning recollects, so they hired Parts and Labor Design, the New York firm that turned the old bus depot into the gleaming restaurant, to design the dining table, barstools, and light fixture over the island.

For the rest, Chewning wanted to evoke “a 1970s den—a little European, vintage, and retro,” with terra-cotta walls, charcoal-gray woodwork, and Morisano’s extensive collection of vinyl records. When the couple saw it, they swooned.

“This is the first space that we ever felt was truly ours,” Morisano says. “Everything about it is personal to us.”

And it was in that big, louche lounge, during a swank reception for 200 last June, that Morisano delivered a rousing speech congratulating Bailey for winning the James Beard Award for best chef in the Southeast. “We must applaud her courage for picking up her life in New York City and moving to the Deep South—that took guts extraordinaire,” he told the crowd. “How lucky we are that she did.”

And that Morisano and Sawdye did too. ◾

Vuitton handbag while walking down Manhattan’s 57th Street, eyed a pair of Chanel pumps in Tokyo’s Ginza, or feasted your eyes on a Dior dress in a store window on Paris’s Avenue Montaigne, you probably have Peter Marino to thank. Among his many projects, Marino is responsible for devising the physical look for many of the world’s most exclusive luxury brands. His decadent, glowing glass-and-steel fashion towers often seem straight out of Blade Runner. There’s no doubt that his “starchitecture” has a halo effect on the goods inside.

But at his magnificent estate in tony Southampton, New York, you won’t find anything under glass. Here, bleached-oak bookcases, together with flocks of Lalanne sheep, make for a decidedly traditional—and definitely glamorous—affair. At center stage are hundreds of pieces of porcelain by Théodore Deck, a 19th-century French ceramist, piled on tables and lined up row after row in the main floor’s enfilade of rooms.

Marino has always had a knack for going big. His passion for and knowledge of art and design—from motorcycles to modern masters—is virtually infinite. Witness the 150 E L L E D E C O R

The French “ porcelain vampire bit my neck. There was no getting away from it.

PETER MARINO

”

Bass museum retrospective four years ago in Miami and the exhibition hall he has built in Southampton to one day house his collections. Deck porcelain, which he has been amassing for decades, is the subject of a new monograph, out October 16 from Phaidon, on which he collaborated with curator Etienne Tornier. And as to be expected, the book is not just a mere tome: It’s a lust-worthy object personally overseen by Marino that is a testament to enduring craft. He was introduced to this obsession by a friend, Alice Stern.

“The French porcelain vampire bit my neck, and there was no getting away from it,” Marino jokes as we stroll through his famous azalea garden.

But why Deck? As they say, it’s all in the glaze, specifically a shade of translucent turquoise that the artisan devised via a proprietary technique, which came to be known as Deck Blue. “They used new chemicals and invented processes,” Marino explains. “In those days, they were crushing lapis lazuli to make a glaze. They weren’t going to Pro Paint to buy a tube of color.” More than just being known for one hue or style, the Deck studio produced a range of varied and eclectic work, employing craftsmen and such well-known artists as Jean-Jacques Henner, Emmanuel Benner, and Charles Kreutzberger.

One look around Marino’s house reveals Deck’s amazing range, with styles that show the inf luence of everything from Japonism to Turkish Iznik pottery and Chinese export porcelain. “No one can place it when they see it,” Marino says.

“They think Deck’s work is original, but it is actually the French interpretation.

At the time, European society was opening up to all these new foreign influences, then adapting and Frenchifying them.

Like all great art, this porcelain completely defined the culture in which it was produced. When you look at it, you go, ‘I understand everything.’” ◾ 152 E L L E D E C O R

and a trip to New York’s Hudson Valley to get it repaired. What followed was an unplanned detour. And there it was: an 1850s Italianate house, built from a design by Richard Upjohn, the British-born 19th-century architect who brought the Gothic Revival style to America, with a magnificent view straight through the front door to the Hudson River.

As they toured the property, the future homeowner, a descendant of William Randolph Hearst, and her husband learned that the house was in terrible disrepair. Over its century and a half of existence, it had been added onto, sustained a major fire, and been stripped of most of its original detail. “And then all of a sudden they were buying a burned-out, gutted house on the Hudson River,” recalls a family member, Gillian Hearst. “I was surprised.”

The homeowner admits she still isn’t sure why she and her husband took on such a massive endeavor. “Foolishness, maybe,” she says with a laugh. “I didn’t think it through, perhaps.

I knew it was going to be trouble. But that view of the river was just so fantastic.”

OPPOSITE: The entry hall has a double staircase and a center table topped with Minton majolica.

RIGHT: Gillian, in a LoveShackFancy dress, walks her Pekingese, Teddy, in front of the house.

The easiest thing would have been to delegate the whole project to others. But as it turns out, she had a vision—one that encompassed everything from a rethinking of the architecture of the space to the decoration of its rooms and the acquisition and placement of art and objects. “She is a true collector and connoisseur,” says Thomas F. Knapp, an art consultant and longtime friend who helped her with the project, along with a former high-school classmate, the California-based ED A-List decorator Suzanne Tucker. “She was very hands-on through the whole process,” he says.

Indeed, the owner spearheaded the four-year renovation, transforming the home’s sprawling layout into a more manageable one. “I took it from 13 to five bedrooms, which made more sense,” she says, “and combined several rooms to make a living room that we use every day. I didn’t want rooms you never use, and I wanted it to be so comfortable that people could come inside in shorts or a bathing suit and not feel, ‘Oh my god, everything is so precious.’”

She flew to London to find furniture and architectural elements, including mantels, that felt in keeping with the style of the home.

“Even the marble pilasters in the foyer came from London,” she says, “although most people assume they must be original.” That space leads into a dramatic entry hall with a new E L L E D E C O R 161

double staircase that frames the view of the Hudson; the expansive room also serves as a dining hall for seated dinners for 50. Nearby, the new kitchen is spacious—big enough to accommodate her extended family during visits as well as catering crews for parties—and the modern white space is accented with Viking appliances in a custom Hermès orange. “The kitchen is so unexpected,” Gillian says, “and just kind of fabulous too.”

One could easily mistake the dramatic vaulted and beamed ceiling in the Tower Room, on the home’s upper level, as a historic element of the original Italianate design. “That ceiling was originally open and had barn beams painted red,” the owner notes. “I had it arched to make it look more refined.” She also jokes that she “decided to go all Olana” in decorating the 20-foot-tall room, which

she furnished with 19th-century Syrian chairs and Minton majolica planters in an homage to Frederic Edwin Church’s legendary Middle Eastern–meets-Victorian manse nearby in the Hudson Valley.

When she had taken the decor as far as she could on her own, she called Tucker for help with the finishing touches; the designer added the foyer’s pale-blue damask wallpaper and the copper silk draperies in the atmospheric Mahogany Room, where vitrines display ancient Greek pottery that once belonged to William Randolph Hearst. “I took my cues from the existing architecture and also the owner’s taste and furniture collection,” Tucker says. “She loves beautiful textiles.”

Perhaps the biggest statement of all is in the dining room, which the owner reconfigured and sheathed in a vintage wallcovering depicting the monuments of Paris. Like the initial visit to the clockmaker, the find was serendipitous: “I stumbled onto it at a little store in Tarrytown,” the owner says. “It was incredible.

LOOKING BACK ALWAYS SHOWS US THE PATH AHEAD. WE WALK OURS WEARING A FLORAL HEADDRESS. DON’T YOU?

PRODUCED BY PARKER BOWIE L ARSON PHOTOGR APH BY TED BELTON Each month, ELLE DECOR asks an artisan to create a unique item for us. At the end of the year, these pieces will be auctioned off to benefit the charity of each maker’s choice.

Fresh blooms speak to new life, heralding a season of growth—so what better way to celebrate elle decor’s 30th anniversary than with a one-of-a-kind floral headdress created for the occasion by ED A-Lister Ken Fulk? The San Francisco–based designer— who is as well known for his richly layered interiors as for his decadently raucous parties—took inspiration from the unforgettable headpiece of orchids, lilies, pearls, and silver spikes that Elizabeth Taylor wore in 1967 to a Venetian masked ball. Though it looks real, this budding beauty is woven of silk flowers and jeweled accents, so you can wear it now to one of our many 30th-anniversary festivities—and again to our 40th, 50th, and beyond.
