houses in the tony enclave of the Hamptons, where I am a frequent houseguest. I call them Amanjudi, Amanjana, and Amanjenny. If you don’t get the joke immediately, let me explain. The famed Aman Resorts, a collection of exotic hotels that launched in 1988, boast some of the world’s most incredible architecture and landscape design by such iconic figures as Ed Tuttle and Kerry Hill. Aman is a gold standard in the hospitality world; its resorts’ subtle details inevitably end up trickling down into the domestic worlds we inhabit every day. I credit Aman with the gunite infinity-pool craze (no more Hockney blues!) that suddenly seems to be de rigueur. Other luxury chains, such as Four Seasons Hotels and Belmond, clued me in to Speakman showerheads (their pressure really is the best) and bedside USB outlets (how did I live without them?). And is there anything better than a fluffy, all-white hotel bed? Or is it any wonder that hotel sheets have become such a thing— from Pratesi to Bed Bath & Beyond?

And that’s why, dear reader, I am proud to present our first-ever issue dedicated to hotels, cruises, destinations, and the people and decorators and editors who love them.

In this issue, we inaugurate our new directory of A-List hotels. Unlike other lists, which tend to be based on geography, ours is centered on design. It was painstakingly and 16

lovingly put together by contributing editor Gisela Williams, executive editor Ingrid Abramovitch, and someone else who loves to travel: me. (Go to ELLEDecor.com to vote for your own travel favorites.) And then we’re off to Scotland for an exclusive look at Vanessa Branson’s private island, Eilean Shona—which you can now rent! There’s a fabulous Palm Beach project by that design maestro, Tom Scheerer, who knows a thing or two about hospitality (his Lyford Cay Club in the Bahamas is a classic). We’ve got one of the world’s prettiest hotel suites in Majorca, a pink-walled paradise created by fashion designer turned decorator Matthew Williamson; a stunning house that draws on tradition in Vietnam, which incidentally is having its own travel and design moment; and, finally, we’re back to Aman. My trip to Bhutan, and its five Aman lodges, was an architectural voyage to remember. Wherever you find yourself this summer, I hope your season is filled with fabulous and inspiring design, and that when all is said and done, you can bring some of the magic back home with you. ◾

living is easy—unless you a re scra mbli ng to furnish your beach house in time for vacation season. Leave it to RH, Restoration Hardware to take the stress out of holiday-home decorating with the debut of its latest collection, RH Beach House. Inspired by the world’s most alluring beaches, from Malibu to Mykonos, St. Tropez to St. Barts, the line offers everything you need to outfit a home by the sea—be it furniture, lighting, or the art on your walls (with select pieces from Portia de Rossi’s General Public art collection). The RH Beach House f u r n ish i ngs i nclude a trio of laid-back sectionals made in Italy, including a lowslung beauty by Paola Navone, in her first collaboration with the American brand. There are striking wood pieces by Dutch designer Luay Al-Rawi, whose round dining table is crafted in European oak, and such standout lighting as oversize penda nts in blackened rattan. Of course, the name RH Beach House is just a suggestion: Versatile pieces like the rattan-backed, ash-framed Yves chair will bring permanent summer wherever they live. rhbeachhouse.com

WITH LALIQUE’S NEW HOTEL ON A VINEYARD IN BORDEAUX, THE STORIED FRENCH BRAND MOVES FAR BEYOND ITS ROOTS.

BY DARRELL HARTM AN

N

E AT ROWS OF VINES

surround Château LafauriePeyraguey on all sides, their grapes ripening in the sun.

Lalique is doing some serious branching out here, too: The French luxury brand reopened this 18th-century Bordeaux wine estate as a five-star hotel last year. It’s part of an ongoing effort to push beyond Lalique’s traditional realm of crystal objets and into an expanded lifestyle proposition that includes interiors, hospitality, food, and wine.

With its terra-cotta roofs and Moorish accents, the biscuit-colored compound sitting on acres of work ing vineyard has the aspect of many a Bordeaux château. It’s the svelte, twinkling interiors that set it apart: Deco Revival furnishings, inlaid-glass accents, crystal Champs-Élysées chandeliers dangling from exposed-beam ceilings. The sprawling bathrooms are of beige marble, and you could fit one of the winery’s flatbed farm trucks into each of them.

If this represents the next generation of Lalique showroom, it’s an awfully easy one to get comfortable in. Designers Tina Green and Pietro Mingarelli chose an easygoing palette of raspberry and light

browns, with bursts of emerald green and gold-toned glass and crystal. The full-on gastronomique menu—grilled langoustines, venison dressed in Basque sloe-berry sauce, a seven-course option, cavia r— comes cour tesy of Jérôme Schilling, who has worked under Joël Robuchon. The main dining room is a glass-walled terrace that faces the sunset; after dark, footlights bathe the vineyard in theatrical chiaroscuro.

CEO Silvio Denz has pushed Lalique beyond traditional retail since acquiring the brand 11 years ago. This is, in fact, his third Lalique hotel; the other two are near the company’s historic glassworks in Alsace, and the restaurant at one of them, Villa René Lalique in Wingen-surModer, boasts two Michelin stars. There, as here, the yacht-meets-boudoir furniture is from Lalique’s home line, and much of it is available for purchase.

Lafaurie-Peyraguey might feel more brand-driven than family-owned châteaus nearby, but it also delights with a level of detail rarely found even at opulent hotels. It’s one thing to be wowed by a restaurant or lobby. It’s another to be impressed by drawers and doorknobs. lafauriepeyragueylalique.com

Jean-Luc Naret

THE CEO OF LA RÉSERVE GROUP AND FORMER MICHELIN GUIDE DIRECTOR ON LAUNCHING LUXURY HOTELS (AND MAKING TOP CHEFS CRY).

Inside La Réserve Paris, which was designed by Jacques Garcia.

BY CHARLES CURKIN Can a hotel be luxurious but have mediocre design?

JLN: There are quite a few examples around the world.

Tell us where in the world, and maybe we can guess.

JLN: Dubai.

La Réserve’s owner, Michel Reybier, hired Jacques Garcia to design hotels in Paris and Geneva. How does he ensure that each property has a unique look?

JLN: He challenges Garcia to get the best out of him each time. When the pressure is on, designers don’t repeat themselves.

Is there anything you would change about Garcia’s design for La Réserve Paris?

JLN: Nothing at all. It’s not by accident that it has

become the number-one hotel in Paris, according to certain travel magazines.

Tell us about the newest La Réserve.

JLN: This fall, we’re opening a 40-room hotel in Zurich—La Réserve Eden au Lac—which is designed

by Philippe Starck.

How does Starck’s approach differ from Garcia’s?

JLN: Starck mixes fun and elegance as only he can.

What’s the strangest request a La Réserve guest has made?

JLN: There are no strange requests, only strange answers. The worst one is no. We have clients that have stayed at La Réserve Paris over 100 times since it opened four years ago.

You are a former director of the Michelin Guide.

What did that job entail?

JLN: Staying in the best hotels in the world, eating in the best restaurants.

It was really tough! I was there for almost nine years.

I brought Michelin to the United States and Asia.

You must have a lot of top chefs’ cell numbers.

JLN: Yes. Each year, I’d call chefs to inform them of their Michelin stars. There would be a lot of crying on the phone—tears of joy.

Why do the stars matter?

JLN: Being a chef is one of the hardest jobs in the world—you have to start all over again every day. lareserve.com

WITH DESIGNER COLLABORATIONS FROM AERIN LAUDER TO ALEXA HAMPTON, THE SHADE STORE IS BRINGING A-LIST STYLE TO WINDOW TREATMENTS.

H E N I T CO M E S TO F I N D I N G B E S P O K E

window treatments for her high-end clientele, A-List decorator Alexa Hampton is turning to a surprisingly affordable and efficient source: The Shade Store.

“To be able to order something and get it just 10 days later is unheard of in this industry,” says Hampton, who jokes that her grocery deliveries “take more time than that.” In fact, she’s such a fan that earlier this year she debuted her first collection of fabrics for the brand. Her whimsical designs, ranging from Greco-Roman to Wiener Werkstätte–esque patterns (in colors like Bonsai and Silver Spoon) join others by the likes of Nate Berkus and Aerin Lauder, who also recently launched collections for The Shade Store. It’s all part of the evolution of this family-owned firm based in Westchester County, New York.

ELLE DECOR

The Shade Store’s origins go back to 1946, when Milton Goldstein founded a textiles shop in Mount Vernon, New York. As soon as his grandsons Zach, Adam, and Ian Gibbs and Greg Spatz could walk and carry a broom, they were helping out in the family business. “We were being groomed from birth,” says Zach, whose father took over what his father-in-law, Milton, had started.

After college, in 2006, the Gibbs brothers and Spatz launched The Shade Store, focusing on made-to-order window treatments, including blinds, shades, and curtains. The firm has since expanded into an empire encompassing a website and 70 brick-and-mortar locations in the United States, where customers can choose from a selection of more than 1,300 materials. The shops offer consultations—bring in photos of your windows, and an employee can walk you through the options, from blackout roller shades and light-filtering cellular shades to designer wood blinds and ripple-fold curtains. Once you’ve made your choice, The Shade Store will measure on-site, then return in just over a week to install the window treatments.

This year’s collaborations, which join ongoing relationships with Chilewich and Ralph Lauren, add a new layer of style to The Shade Store’s selection. Berkus’s fabrics include chic stripe and palm motifs, while Lauder’s patterns range from romantic florals to paisleys in pastel hues. But while the designs are fashion-forward, the firm’s strategy is never about trends. “We want staying power,” notes Zach, the company’s general manager.

What really sets The Shade Store apart is an almost obsessive attention to service, a principle instilled in the Gibbs brothers and Spatz as children. “My grandfather, followed by my father, built a monster business based on attention to their customers’ needs,” Zach says. “Two generations later, that is still our bread and butter.” theshadestore.com ◾

SHOWCASE

ARLIER THIS YE AR, THE

Ita lia n lu x ur y house Loro Pia na hosted a de facto spring break in St. Barts. A bevy of international actresses, editors, and social-media personalities f lew in for the occasion. There were balmy dinners and a preview of a new capsule collection, and the weekend was capped off with the 2019 St. Barths Bucket Regatta, in which the company’s deputy chairman, Pier Luigi Loro Piana, raced his superyacht My Song.

A Caribbean island might seem like an unconventional venue to host festivities for Loro Piana.

A fter a l l, when t he compa ny was founded in northern Italy i n 192 4, it m ade its m a rk by supplying wool and cashmere textiles; today, it continues to be known for its ultra-luxe Andean vicuña knits and Mongolian goat baby-cashmere creations. But the brand’s focus on superlative raw materials means it is equally adept at turning out summerready staples.

Consider its tote bags, linenand–cotton canvas accessories whose burnt orange and terracotta stripes hark back to the same motif used on Loro Piana sales representatives’ luggage from the 1970s. They were originally envisioned as sailing bags, but the totes’ roomy, open design and water- and stain-repellent finish

make them perfect for a beach day.

The brand’s Open Walk and Summer Walk shoes similarly take their cues from nautical excursions: Their white soles, a blend of natural rubber and technical components, keep wooden decks scuff-free, and they even have a spot on the heel where you can write your initials, so reclaiming them is a cinch.

Ease is also at the center of Loro Piana’s linen capsule collection, available in July. Composed of a handful of breezy, warm-weather ready-to-wear pieces for men and women—think espadrilles, airy caftans, and white drawstring pants—the grouping uses Solaire Delave, a linen finished with aloe vera, which helps the textile stay crease-free.

The capsule “combines an Italian notion of effortless elegance with an active move toward light and lightness,” says Loro Piana CEO Fabio d’Angelantonio.

refurbishing: Nearly 20 years after debuting its blockbuster ceramic watch, the J12, designed by Jacques Helleu and inspired by the sporty, elegant lines of America’s Cup yachts, Chanel has released a spiffed-up version.

The case is thicker, its profile is softer, the typeface of its numerals has been redesigned, and its 12.1-caliber automatic movement is new and is visible through its one-piece case, among other tweaks. In celebration of the updated J12, Chanel has enlisted nine muses for a campaign, among them Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Lily-Rose Depp, and—speaking of icons— Ali MacGraw, who returns as a spokesperson for the French house 54 years after first acting as the face of Chanel No. 5. chanel.com ◾

DANIEL’S KITCHENS

chef and ask, “Do you have pistou?”

Because pistou—that gloriously green French Mediterranean basil, garlic, and pine-nut mashup, very similar to Italian pesto though often made without cheese—can give a boost to anything, even a limp salad delivered to your room.

I love Caesar salad, but it’s a dish that is easy to mess up, and it can usually use a little help. My DB-approved room-service survival secret? Order a Caesar and ask them to send up some pistou, if they have it, or fresh basil to tear up and add to the salad, plus some carrots and olives and radishes. Then you’ve got the materials to assemble something you’ll actually enjoy: fresher, with more flavor and punch.

Las Vegas is the kingdom of the Caesar salad. The first time I visited,

can give a boost “Pistou to anything.”

I hadn’t had lunch and needed to get some work done. I ordered a Caesar up to my room, along with the extra crudités and some pistou, and whipped it up on the spot. So when I finally opened my restaurant in Vegas, I thought, OK, let’s do a Caesar with a touch of the Riviera. We named it Caesar and Rosalie after the 1972 French movie about a road trip to the Mediterranean coast.

This salad is not going to bore you: It has the salty zing of traditional garlicky Caesar dressing, plus fragrant basil, cherry tomatoes, and the fresh bite of thinly sliced crudités. You’ve also got a lot of tastes of the Riviera here, including Spanish anchovies and Italian Parmigiano. This salad transports you to lunch at a sunny café in St. Tropez—or at the very least to a Vegas hotel with a Riviera theme! ◾

CAESAR AND ROSALIE SAL AD CAESAR DRESSING 4 egg yolks 1 T Dijon mustard 3 cloves garlic, chopped 5–8 anchovy fillets in olive oil, rinsed (or 1 T anchovy paste) 2 cups olive oil 1⁄3 cup grated Parmesan cheese Juice and zest of 1 lemon Salt and freshly ground white pepper BASIL PISTOU 3 cups fresh basil, leaves only 2 T pine nuts ½ garlic clove, chopped 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil Salt and freshly ground white pepper SALAD 4 heads romaine lettuce, leaves separated and cut into 1-inch pieces Salt and freshly ground white pepper 6 radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced 12 cherry tomatoes, halved 2 carrots, trimmed, peeled, and thinly sliced 50

ELLE DECOR

¼ cup chopped Niçoise olives 4 pieces of grilled chicken, sliced 1½ cups small croutons (preferably made with focaccia) Shaved Parmesan cheese FOR THE DRESSING

In a blender, combine the egg yolks, mustard, garlic, and anchovies, and purée for 20 seconds. With the blender on low speed, stream in the olive oil very slowly.

When the dressing has a mayonnaise-like consistency, add the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest; season to taste with salt and freshly ground white pepper.

the mixture becomes a chunky paste. Season with salt and freshly ground white pepper.

FOR THE PISTOU

FOR THE SALAD

Bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil and season generously with salt. Prepare a bowl of ice water on the side. Drop the basil leaves into the salted water and remove after 15 seconds, transferring immediately to the ice water. Cool completely, then place on a paper towel to dry. In a blender, pulse the basil, pine nuts, and garlic.

Stream in the olive oil until

In a small bowl, combine ½ cup of Caesar Dressing and ½ cup of Basil Pistou. In a large bowl, combine the romaine and dressing-pistou mixture. Season with salt and freshly ground white pepper, and mix well. Divide into 6 bowls and garnish with radishes, tomatoes, carrots, olives, chicken, croutons, and shaved Parmesan.

WHAT TO DRINK “A Caesar salad needs something refreshing and yet rich, so I’d choose a Cuvée Rubis rosé from Vilmart & Cie [$70] in France’s Champagne region, a bold but precise wine with incredible fruit to pair with the tomatoes and basil in the dish.”

when she was eight years old and immediately began to beg her parents for one of her own. At 11, exhausted by her nightly tears, they surrendered. As a mother, she spared her own daughters any childhood trauma by lifting them onto horses when they were just 18 months old. As a rider, she’s their role model— she has held the Wellington, Florida, title in the amateur-owner hunter division for riders 36 and over for five years.

Dedicated riders own horses. Becky Gochman owns 20. She keeps them at her farm in Wellington, in a barn so lavishly equipped that other horses dream of living there. But the Wellington riding season lasts only three months, and the farm, designed by Tom Scheerer, wouldn’t work as a year-round residence for a family with school-age children. Palm Beach, just 17 miles away, would do quite nicely.

In Palm Beach, she and her husband, David, took an oceanfront house built in 1925 and, instead of updating it, tore it down. The home next door, though new, looked old, so they hired its architects, Peter Moor and Chris Baker, to build a house that looks as if it belongs in the neighborhood, but on a smaller scale at 4,000 square feet.

And then Scheerer went to work. This was his third project for the Gochmans; before Wellington, he’d transformed a staid Manhattan townhouse into what he describes as a “kooky, off-kilter home out of The Royal Tenenbaums.”

Harmony prevailed. “Tom presented me with three different choices, and I tended to choose the one he liked,” Becky recalls.

In Palm Beach, the couple wanted a house “with the integrity of older houses, but we don’t like ‘grand’ anywhere.” Scheerer’s family summered on the most exclusive road in East Hampton, and he has collected houses in equally chic locations, but there is nothing grand about his work. “Informality is my watchword, especially at the beach,” he says. “On the outside, this house is vaguely Bermudan.

Inside, it feels more like a loft. I removed some architectural details, then added others so the rooms flow into one another, with the furnishings telling each room’s story.”

Readers who cherish Scheerer’s decorating books will appreciate the lessons he has imported from his own homes. That means bentwood chairs, bamboo-wrapped coffee tables, generous applications of rattan and wicker, and floors that sandy feet can’t damage. There are small, sly touches: a banister painted with an aqua enamel that echoes the blue accent on the Chinese paper chandelier, faux-painted bamboo in the dining room, and, in the living room, large paintings of tropical plants bookended by plants on tables.

And wherever possible, there is instant aging, from reclaimed f loors to blackened hinges. “The house is crisp and modern, but I’m not afraid of a little patina,” Becky says.

“Everything that we have put in the house is meant to be used.”

She told her architects she wanted them “to bring the ocean in,” and they delivered just that. The story of the house is windows and glass doors, and more often than not, those

windows and doors are open. “At dinner on Thanksgiving, we watched surfers and paddleboarders,” she recalls. “And pelicans—that day, I learned they fly in flocks.” On her walks, she’s invariably looking for houses that have had recent visits from their gardeners: “No one forages like I do,” she admits. “For me, a pile of debris is a treasure. I collect clipped hedges. I made a Christmas tree out of discarded plants.

Sometimes I ask people if they have coconuts that have fallen—I don’t like to see wasted coconuts.” Eccentric? Dinner is occasionally served on an outdoor Ping-Pong table; the Gochmans are likely the only one-percenters in Palm Beach who use their screened porch for sleeping.

Because Becky worries about the ecosystem of sand dunes and beach plants, the Gochmans didn’t develop much of their property. They clean their section of the beach, and they may soon have an oceanfront organic garden. “Palm Beach used to be all about highly manicured properties,” she says. “Now, more and more people care about the environment.” Consider this house Exhibit A. ◾

ENTREPRENEUR

Vanessa Branson has a habit of tra nsfor m i ng vac at ion hou s e s i nto evocative—and perfectly turned-out—hotels. In 2002, when she was looking for a holiday retreat in Marrakech, she happened upon the courtyard of a former private residence. Two yea r s later, she opened the renovated space as El Fenn, one of the chicest riad hotels around. And now Branson is reimagining Eilean Shona, a remote Scottish island she purchased decades ago, as a dream destination for guests hoping to escape the harshness of modern reality.

Branson discovered Eilean Shona in the mid-1990s with her then-husband, Robert Devereux, when they were searching for a holiday home in the Inner Hebrides. “We answered an ad and drove six hours out of our way to see it,” recalls Branson, whose brother is Sir Richard Branson. Originally the site of an 18th-century hunting lodge, the island has an illustrious history—the author J.M. Barrie spent summers here in the 1920s and wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation of Peter Pan while staying on Eilean Shona—and was home to a gabled manor house and a scattering of charming cottages. Visitors arrive by boat from the mainland, passing by the ruins of a medieval castle.

“It’s hard to describe how beautiful it is here,” she says.

“It might, in fact, be Neverland. There is no ambient light, so the night skies are just brilliant, and no noise pollution, so all you hear is nature. When the tide comes in, one part of the island turns into a blue lagoon.”

The kitchen’s hood is custom, and the table and chairs are vintage.

ELLE DECOR

A guest room’s wooden headboard was made on-site by the artist Pep Duran Esteva, and the throw is Scottish.

Initially she and Devereux began renovating the main house, reroofing it and adding modern infrastructure, like a boiler, so that they could have all the luxuries and comforts of the mainland. Pregnant with their fourth child, Branson, who always makes the design decisions, had a tight deadline to decorate the main house, which has 12 bedrooms, a library with a billiard table, and a drawing room with an open fireplace and a grand piano.

“I had five weeks to do everything before the baby was born, so I went to John Lewis and bought 100 towels and 100 pillowcases,” she recalls. Twenty years later, most of the linens have withstood the test of time. “If you buy the best, it only hurts once,” she says.

Another design commandment that Branson has consistently followed, whether at Eilean Shona or El Fenn, is to “start with art.” In the early 1990s, she co-ran a contemporary art gallery on Portobello Road in London and represented the abstract artist Fred Pollock. Near the end of the renovation process, she invited Pollock to the island to paint an exuberant abstract mural in the dining room and then used the palette of those bold colors to inspire her design decisions for the rest of the house.

That meant orange-painted walls in a bathroom and red Moroccan carpets and a gilded armchair upholstered in a turquoise silk in the sitting room. “The juxtaposed colors really make the rooms vibrate,” Branson says.

A few years ago, with her children all grown up and no longer vacationing regularly at Eilean Shona, and with

the continuing success of El Fenn, Branson decided to open up Eilean Shona to paying guests. (One can either rent the whole island, just the main house, or one of the individual cottages.) One of the first reservations came from the actress Frances McDormand and her husband, the director Joel Coen, who, it turns out, are fans of Alexander Ross, the architect who designed the island’s old schoolhouse, along with Inverness Cathedral.

At the time, the schoolhouse hadn’t been used for almost a century and was more of a folly than a guesthouse. “We used it as a picnic destination,” Branson says. “The roof was half falling in, and we would start a roaring fire and share the space with nesting birds.”

McDormand and Coen’s impending visit motivated Branson to restore the two-story building, adding gas lamps, a Victorian roll-top tub with a view of the sea, and an outdoor shower.

Last spring Branson refocused on the main house, restoring the faded Pollock mural and bringing in dozens of new artworks, including several charcoal drawings

by William Kentridge. South African artist Beezy Bailey was commissioned to gather driftwood on the island; the resulting Tinker Bell–inspired sculpture now hangs over the sitting room fireplace. Meanwhile, the palette got even bolder: “Good art sings out with a strong color behind it,” she says. “The main house is really meant to be a party house, a place to celebrate with friends and family.

I didn’t want things to get too perfect and fussy.” ◾ In the former schoolhouse, now a guest cottage, the rug, ikat cushion, and throw were all purchased in Marrakech.

touched down on Majorca in the 1920s, Deià, a small town near this Spanish island’s northwestern coast, has been a locus for musicians, artists, and performers. Visitors looking to embrace this creative free spirit would do well to consider staying in Suite 67 at the Belmond La Residencia, whose two manor houses date back to the 16th century. British designer Matthew Williamson recently transformed this one-bedroom space, with its own garden and pool, into a brightly colored and printed refuge that blends Majorcan touches with contemporary pops. The decor of Suite 67 is in keeping with Williamson’s joyful, exuberant aesthetic: A successful fashion designer since the mid-1990s, he pivoted away from ready-to-wear three years ago to focus on his love of interiors (a passion he has indulged since 2003 through collaborations with such brands as the Rug Company and Debenhams). Williamson also decamped for Deià, where he now lives full-time and is slowly leaving his design mark—whether on Nama Bar, a local restaurant whose space he revamped in 2017, or Suite 67.

“I wanted to carve a jewel box within the historic property without it feeling overpowering,” he says of the hotel suite, whose interiors include Spanish terra-cotta tiles, a locally sourced wooden four-poster bed, glassware from a factory in the island’s northern regions, and a painting in the bedroom by the hotel’s artist in residence (and Williamson’s neighbor), Alan Hynes. The wallpapers and fabrics are from Williamson’s own collections for Osborne & Little, and he also created Summer Siesta, a white jasmine flower–and-lemon candle that was inspired by nearby gardens, for the suite. “You can be a bit braver in a hotel than in your own home,” he says. ◾

T

TO M ANY, THE IDEA OF BUYING A TURNKEY HOME—ONE

that is fully furnished and kitted out like a luxury hotel suite—may be a head-scratcher. Why purchase an apartment imagined and decorated for a fictitious owner when you’re wealthy enough to hire your own interior designer who could tailor it specifically to your tastes and needs?

Yet the turnkey craze is sweeping the globe, and among its fans is the superstar French interior designer Jean-Louis Deniot. He is currently working on several such projects, from Hong Kong to West Palm Beach. “I enjoy the financial pressure of creating a home that needs to sell,” he says, “and the fact that the design choices are more than just ‘I like blue, you like pink’ and are based instead on what adds real value to a property.”

While many interiors commissioned on spec inevitably tend to be bland and impersonal, Deniot’s approach is different. “I try to convey a sense of nonchalance so that the decor doesn’t feel stiff,” he says. The developer for whom Deniot decorated this 5,000-square-foot duplex in London’s prestigious Belgravia neighborhood is wont to agree.

“Jean-Louis has this ability to design things that are truly unique and one-off,” he says. “He really understands how people want to live today.”

The four-bedroom home, which was previously three separate apartments, has numerous assets—a prime location, a double garden, its own front door, and lots of lateral space in a city where small rooms are the norm. Given that the clients for turnkey developments are for the most part from other countries, Deniot is particularly focused on creating a sense of place. Here, for instance, he installed floor-toceiling doors in the 18th-century English Adam style. While he is an unabashed fan of luxe details, in a project like this Deniot is conscious that he needs to strike a fine balance. “A developer wants everything to be very beautiful and luxurious, but also to be competitively priced,” he notes.

One place he never holds back: the entry hall, as illustrated by the custom geometric door and bronze door-andwall trims he designed for this project. An antique Venetian lantern hangs overhead, and the custom floor is in Carrara and Nero Marquina marbles. “First impressions last,” Deniot says, “and I wanted to mesmerize visitors straightaway.”

He also took pains to design unique cornices for each room and to include a few surprises. For instance, in the

closets, some drawers have glass faces so you can see what’s inside, while others are lined with cedarwood.

Cost cutting—an exercise in which Deniot is actually quite well versed—took place elsewhere. His interiors, even for private clients, are rarely awash in fancy designer names. He has a knack for transforming a bargain buy into a star turn simply by reupholstering it in the right fabric. For the Belgravia project, he imported textiles from Thailand or had them custom made in Morocco and opted for bamboo rugs over pricier silk ones. Stylistically, his goal was to concoct a timeless look, but with just the right amount of personality—“enough to stand out, but not too much to deter a potential buyer.” To that end, he adopted a neutral palette, adding interest in the form of sunny yellow and rich blue accents. “The weather’s fine when I’m in London, but apparently that is not always the case,” he says with a smile.

Where Deniot’s turnkey interiors particularly sing is in his use of antiques—a rarity in the spec-house world, where the norm is contemporary furniture fresh from the factory.

Here, the living room’s 18th-century English neoclassical armchairs and the dining room’s Louis XVI crystal chandelier deftly add a historical layer without jeopardizing one of Deniot’s golden rules. “In a turnkey project, you have to avoid giving potential buyers the impression that they’re entering someone else’s home,” he says. “They want to feel like nobody has ever sat on that sofa or used the bathroom.

It needs to be fresh, fresh, fresh!” ◾

tiny Buddhist monarchy between China and India, famed for its remote location and its aversion to outsiders, that has always especially intrigued me. Perhaps it was the distance, more than 7,000 miles from my home in New York City.

Or maybe it was Bhutan’s almost mythic status as the (other) happiest place on earth, a reputation that goes back to 1972, when the fourth king of Bhutan, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, introduced the concept of gross national happiness as an index to measure a nation’s collective well-being. In an age when influencers—especially of the travel variety—can change the fortunes of a place with a few social-media posts (see: Bali), Bhutan has managed to resist a tourist onslaught. Even as the country has begun to modernize under the current king, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, there are numerous barriers to entry: Airplane service is irregular, hotels are few and far between, and the travelers who do make it here are levied a daily tourist tax.

The land of Airbnb, this is not.

Google Bhutan and travel, and one mainly finds accounts written by affluent dharma seekers on some kind of spiritual quest. But I didn’t travel to Bhutan to become a better person. Rather, I was drawn by the tantalizing prospect of visiting two types of architectural wonders: one modern, one antique. The first was Amankora, the O.G. Bhutanese resort designed by the Australian architect Kerry Hill, who died last year. From 2004 through 2007, Hill designed Amankora’s five lodges, which are spread throughout the country and constructed of such local materials as stone, rammed mud, nettle fiber, and yak hair. Each lodge is more wondrous than the next: from the one in Paro, a white Zen monument to clean lines and local timber, to Punakha lodge, which boasts an infinity pool with views over rice terraces.

Just as amazing are the discoveries made while traveling from one Aman lodge to the next. It was on these excursions that I came face-to-face with the second architectural marvel: colorfully painted Bhutanese farmhouses, many with a temple at their center. On the following pages, both these traditional homes and their house-proud owners, who generously opened their famously private doors to ELLE DECOR’s cameras, come alive in Cyrill Matter’s spectacular photos.

I hope they reveal that wherever you come from, beautifying one’s home—whether it’s with a state-of-the-art infinity pool or hand-painted mandalas on the walls of a deceptively simple bedroom—is fundamental to the human experience. ◾ 86

In the living room of a house in Vietnam that was renovated and designed by Bruno de Caumont, the sofa, armchairs, tables, rug, and mirror are all custom. The lotus pots were purchased in Ho Chi Minh City’s Le Cong Kieu antiques district, and the artworks of Chinese nobles came from a flea market in Shanghai. The room is painted in a traditional chalk paint tinted with natural pigments.

art forms, dating back thousands of years. The ancient technique is what initially brought French interior architect and decorator Bruno de Caumont to Vietnam, first as a visitor and then as a permanent resident of Ho Chi Minh City, where his luxe collection of vividly lacquered furniture—inspired by the 18th-century Directoire period, a favorite of this former Parisian antiques dealer—is still painstakingly fabricated by local artisans.

In a lovely reversal of roles, as de Caumont looked to his new home for inspiration and craftsmanship, several local connoisseurs began to look to the debonair designer—a descendant of Ange Jacques Gabriel, the architect of Paris’s Place de la Concorde—for his expertise in, of all things,

authentic Vietnamese decor. A prominent physician, Chanh Tran Tien, and his wife, Trang, enlisted de Caumont to renovate a property in Ho Chi Minh City’s countryside after paying a visit to La Villa Verte, the designer’s home and studio in town, where the rooms are splashed in mod hues like hot pink and kelly green and decorated with his chromatic collections of furniture, rugs, and encaustic tiles, all made in nearby factories. “When everyone was doing black-andwhite rooms, it was very painful for me,” the designer says.

“It’s the most impersonal design. Color reveals who you really are.”

The house, which was built in the 1990s and abandoned about a decade ago, was in a sad state when it was purchased in 2014. The straw roof had collapsed, damaging the interiors; grass and weeds had spread from the garden onto the veranda; and a small pool sat neglected. Transforming

the property into a quietly stunning, welcoming retreat would be no small feat. “They wanted a home that looked like it had been in the family forever,” de Caumont recalls.

“There is nothing I didn’t design in the house, even the door handles.”

To achieve an air of authentic antiquity, de Caumont started where all good students of the decorative arts should begin: in the public library, where he pored over books and photographs of historic Vietnamese interiors. “I began to understand the mix that exists here of 19th-century French architecture and the Asian style of Art Deco furniture, which is a little more Rococo,” he explains.

He focused on creating an environment that was all about the feeling of living outdoors. What was once a small, squat structure has been reimagined into an airy one-story, six-bedroom residence that forms a U shape with a 65-foot ELLE DECOR

lap pool at its center. “As soon as you walk in the front door, you see through to the pool and feel almost obliged to go outside,” de Caumont says. “There’s no reason to stay inside a house like this.”

He wanted the interiors to look BRUNO DE “old but maintained, as if everything was there for generations.” The faded tropical hues on the walls were achieved with chalk paint, a traditional technique that prevents streak marks in Vietnam’s persistent humidity. While the veranda’s vintage floor tiles are original, other rooms have fanciful encaustic tiles of de Caumont’s own design, from a vivid star pattern to an artful red motif based on a 19th-century French design. He scoured Vietnamese antiques shops for choice finds, such as a guest room’s ornate gilded four-poster bed and a seven-panel lacquered screen in the master bath, but otherwise furnished the rooms with his own flamboyant pieces. Meanwhile, de Caumont made almost every lamp in the house by topping local market vases with silk shades.

Perhaps the most striking design element is overhead:

a ceiling crafted in white oak to resemble the hull of a ship, from which a dozen fans stir the air. Like all of the home’s woodwork, it is lacquered black—a surface treatment that, by the way, repels termites and other damaging insects, which is CAUMONT why it has been used for centuries throughout Southeast Asia.

Since the completion of the house in 2016, high-rise apartment buildings have been sprouting up in Ho Chi Minh City and the surrounding countryside as quickly as weeds; they tout such luxuries as marble flooring, crystal chandeliers, and ice-cold air-conditioning to eradicate the tropical heat.

By contrast, de Caumont aspires to a simpler aesthetic, one in which, he says, “you understand perfectly where you are living—it feels good, and you don’t need more.”

He continues: “My mother, when she used to cut my hair, would say, ‘You need to suffer to be beautiful.’ In the same way, I believe if you want to live in a truly beautiful house, you have to suffer a little. I educate my clients to live in this kind of beauty.” ◾

So It Goza

TRADITIONAL JAPANESE TATAMI WEAVING TECHNIQUES INSPIRE A GLEAMING MEDITATION MAT BY THE DESIGN DUO BEHIND DOUGALL PAULSON. PRODUCED BY PARKER BOWIE L ARSON PHOTOGR APH BY EVA AN KHER A J ST YLED BY JJ CHAN

The Irid Meditation Mat is woven from brass jewelry wire.

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.

In ancient Japanese culture, tatami mats—used as a surface for sitting or sleeping—were a luxury reserved for the country’s nobility and samurai. Now common in Japanese homes, these portable surfaces, also known as goza mats, consist of two layers: a straw core overlaid with woven rush. Inspired by the form and functionality of these mats, California designers and weavers Sean Dougall and Andrew Paulson created this one-of-a-kind meditation mat. The iridescent piece, made of a brass-alloy jewelry wire, is at once a work of art and a practical object. Not unlike Aladdin’s magic carpet, the mat has the ability to transport, if not to exotic locales then to a more Zen mental state—it’s a welcome escape from reality, even if only for a moment. —Samantha Swenson dougallpaulson.com
