THE ART OF

Couture Born from a modest beginning of selling raw frames in Los Angeles, celebrated furnishings atelier Nancy Corzine merges the disciplines of design, manufacturing and upholstery, executing time-honored craftsmanship with a deft and capable touch. “I often comment that we are a dinosaur company; we manufacture the old-fashioned way,” enthuses the firm’s founder Nancy Corzine. “Our manufacturing, finishing and upholstery are all done by hand.

I imagine you would describe us as a dying breed that is very much alive.” Entering its third decade, Nancy Corzine has now grown to encompass three distinct showrooms in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago, as well as representation in 14 other furnishing purveyors’ showrooms across the country.

Corzine, who started the business in 1983 from a tiny showroom on Robertson Boulevard, Los Angeles, anticipated the firm to be a “small retirement business.” Never did she expect such a tremendous response to the highquality and high-design pieces for which her eponymous firm has become known.

To continually create beautiful things, there must be passion. It is absolutely the most important ingredient.

— NANCY CORZINE

INSPIRED COUTURE

Inspiration is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s the Palace of Versailles or the Chrysler Building, I’m inspired by everything around me.

ARTISANAL TENETS

The attention to detail in design, manufacturing, finishing, gilding and upholstery is always our highest priority.

Our goal is to create the antiques of tomorrow that will live through many generations.

AN EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE

Our ability to take each day as a new opportunity and work as a team to achieve our goals empowers us all to accomplish yet one more seemingly impossible task, bringing us ever closer to perfection.

Inspiration Entering its sixth decade as a renowned decorative fixture and hardware atelier, the house of Tétard-HaudiquezGrisoni (THG®-Paris) exists solely to perfect the art of refined living for the bath. Based near Normandy, France, THG is celebrated around the world for its exquisite, handcrafted collections of faucets and accessories.

ARTISAN CRAFTSMANSHIP

Using traditional methods passed down through generations, THG’s French artisans craft one-of-a-kind pieces. The process, both artistic and technical, requires knowledge and experience fueled by commitment and passion. Each piece is handled with care and meticulously crafted, inspected and finished to perfection.

Manufacture de Monaco: Monte Carlo

UNIQUE AESTHETICS

THG-Paris is recognized as the ‘haute couture of bath fittings,’ providing both exquisite French craftsmanship and designs at the highest level.

THG’s collections vary in style, from traditional to contemporary.

They craft both individually with their in-house design team and in collaboration with esteemed design houses and high-end crystal and tabletop houses. Inspired by the American Industrial Revolution, two of THG’s newest collections incorporate the look of industrial pipe, fittings and raw iron.

AN EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE

Apparent in every detail, the THG difference is experienced by the senses. The eyes linger over the clarity and sparkle of fine gems and metal finishes while the hand tests the weight and strength of a wellcrafted handle. To the touch, each sculptural handle feels smooth and soft, providing a tactile feast and a luxurious sensory experience.

LUXURY DEFINED… It’s a simple yet thought-provoking question, and one that triggers an exceedingly personal reply: What is luxury? For this issue, we took our lead from the Victoria and Albert Museum of London’s recent exhibition, “What is Luxury,” a methodically edited show that set out to define the meaning of luxury while also attempting to predict its future.

We surveyed some of the industry’s top designers to weigh in on the subject; read their take in our “Radar” section.

So, what is luxury when it comes to design? Is it covering your walls in Fortuny silk, a summer home in East Hampton, a handcrafted Baccarat onyx crystal chandelier? Or is luxury the ability to say no; to say yes? I believe luxury is purposed as a catchphrase for selectiveness, for meaningful experiences and anything precious that you’d never discard, for time, for a jolt of beauty, for objects with a sense of purity and for the small-batch handmade, for unstudied style.

Luxury is about the details.

PORTRAIT: SONYA REVELL.

As editors of this magazine, we are tasked with exploring, curating and reporting on luxury for the home. It’s an elusive concept and each of us identifies the theme with our own slightly skewed lens. We speak with designers and architects, direct home shoots, head off to design shows and preview the latest collections. Back at our offices, we deliberate on what we see and hear, sharing ideas with much back-and-forthing; always, our prism shaped around luxury.

THE INSIDERS

NEW+NOW GET TO KNOW FOUR PALM BEACH INFLUENCERS AS THEY SHED LIGHT ON WHAT’S OF THE MOMENT IN DESIGN, ART AND ARCHITECTURE.

1

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

LESLIE HINDMAN

What’s intriguing you in design?

People are becoming more comfortable with the auction industry, and I know, for my part, I’m doing all I can to lessen the stigma. I recently launched bidsquare.com with some colleagues from other auction houses; we’re hoping that bringing the process to an online platform will make it less intimidating.

Having a moment: I love Stephen Sills—he’s incredibly talented— and Suzanne Kasler, who is really brilliant at constructing beautiful spaces that are also approachable. Their styles appeal to me because they use old and new things together in the same rooms, which helps people understand that they don’t always have to purchase new items from big-box stores.

the entire Kennedy family used to take their meals around. It should be a really fun event.

As the owner of an eponymous auction house, Leslie Hindman brings beautiful antiques and prized vintage offerings to her outposts all over the country, from Palm Beach to Chicago. Her biggest secret, though? She doesn’t collect anything for herself.

2 THE CREATIVE LAURA MCGLYNN

What’s intriguing you now in design?

I’m not sure if there is an official term for it, but I think of it as “accessible design,” just not of the ADA variety, referring to the way blogging and social media platforms like Pinterest have made design so much more approachable for those without formal experience. The end result is a much more beautiful world.

What’s trending?

Midcentury is really hot right now; it’s all anybody wants. That means, though, that it’s a great time to snag incredible 18th-century pieces for a fraction of what they sell for usually.

Plus, a gorgeous brown wood Georgian desk will always come back into style.

Can’t get enough of: I’m pretty obsessed with cement and encaustic tile at the moment. We used it in spades to complement the modern blackand-white style of our bar. I love the creamy matte look and feel of it and all the eclectic patterns. It makes such a huge statement.

For the memory books: We recently worked with Lilly Pulitzer’s estate on an auction of the contents from her Palm Beach home, and it was a blast. She was wonderful—a charming, whimsical character— and people love her. Working on listing items from Lars Bolander’s property was also a treat.

He has the most fantastic stuff.

One to watch: The renewed interest in Lake Worth really has me excited. My husband and I moved here five years ago with a hope that the downtown area would experience exactly the kind of growth and progress that’s happening now. We’re so happy to be a part of it.

Can’t get enough of…

Jewelry. It’s our biggest category, and for good reason. Estate pieces have soul, and the materials used in their construction are beautiful.

Up next: I’m gearing up for a sale of the furniture from the Kennedy compound in Palm Beach in January. When the family sold the house to the new owner, John Castle, it was filled with their things, including the dining room table

Shop ’til you drop: All the new antiques and consignment shops opening South of Southern and in the Lake Worth area are incredible new additions to our retail landscape. There’s a treasure trove of great buys outside of Antique Row. On your radar: Organic, natural minimalism is exactly my speed lately. I’m a huge fan of midcentury and Scandinavian modern styles, and I love seeing them mixed with of-the-moment

elements drawn from nature. It feels so fresh, authentic and timeless.

What’s trending?

Creatives have been branching out and finding new ways of expression beyond their current chosen mediums. We’ve seen floral designers diving into hand-lettering, photographers branching out into styling or video, and so on. I think there’s been a real movement to grow artistically and try new things.

Up next: Social House will definitely by occupying the majority of my time for the next few years. I’m looking forward to growing and nurturing the series of events we’re hosting for the design community, including our Maker Meets, live music nights and art exhibits.

Laura McGlynn is the owner and co-founder of Lake Worth’s newest creative co-working and events venue, Social House.

She finds unexpected inspiration in the old patterns and textures present in archaeology.

Images: Counterclockwise from top: A vignette from Leslie Hindman’s sale of Lars Bolander’s Palm Beach property and a yellow diamond estate ring up for auction. Scenes from Laura McGlynn’s recently opened co-working space for creatives, Social House, in Lake Worth.

THE INSIDERS

On your radar: Local interior designer Gil Wash is an enormous talent. She was the designer of record for the restoration of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater. She has such a deep understanding of architecture, and it shines through brilliantly in her work.

Steven Stolman was the former president at renowned fabric house Scalamandré and is the author of the new Gibbs Smith tome, Confessions of a Serial Entertainer. He’s a prolific baker who is happy to call Palm Beach home.

4 THE MERCHANT BETH GEDULD

On my nightstand: I recently picked up Maureen Footer’s book George Stacy and the Creation of American Chic. I know they say not to judge a book by its cover, but make an exception for this one: The rich green carpet on the jacket, when paired with the red lampshade and yellow chair, is over-the-top and wonderful.

It’s easy to see why Stacy was so very successful in the 1930s through the 1950s.

3 THE ENTERTAINER STEVEN STOLMAN

What’s trending?

There has definitely been a return to color that is altering the landscape of interior design; it’s been dominated by neutrals—specifically earth tones—for far too long. I think people now are beginning to be less afraid to be celebratory in their own environments and are looking to the extraordinary rooms of Mario Buatta and Sister Parish for inspiration.

Dream collaborations: During my time at Scalamandré I was lucky to be able to realize many of my collaborative dreams—putting out collections with Lenox, Eastern Accents and Port 68. I do, though, still feel like I have something left to say in fashion.

I started my career with Lilly Pulitzer, and I’d love to get back to that world one day.

Hip hood: Northwood is better than ever. It’s been so much fun to see what’s happening in that part of West Palm Beach in the way of blossoming businesses. I think we’re going to continue seeing a lot of amazing stuff coming out of there soon.

For the design-obsessed: Next time you’re in Dania Beach, pay a visit to the Gallery of Amazing Things; it has to be seen to be believed. It used to be a natural history museum that has since morphed into a really unique event space that still showcases a massive collection of fossilized objets, aviation parts and natural art items, many made from butterfly wings, that are all hauntingly beautiful. It’s also home to one of the largest private Royal Doulton collections in the world.

What’s intriguing you now?

Concierge service. It’s not enough to provide furniture, lighting, art or decorative accessories to your clients, you have to do more, and it’s become so exciting.

There’s a real thrill I get from making the impossible a reality.

Ones to watch: I absolutely love Verellen. Their Black Tie sofa line is one of my favorites, and everyone who sees it immediately understands why. It’s perfect for achieving that contemporary California look.

Favorite items in inventory: The dining table that John Ford designed for Renovation Room is in a league of its own. It’s completely constructed by hand and feels very sculptural thanks to the thick pieces of glass used for its legs. I also have two beautiful chandeliers in the front of the showroom that always get people talking.

Best places to scout for furniture finds: I’m always on the hunt for pieces that are different and new to market. I go to the New York, Milan and Paris shows annually and find the most incredible things, which I’m always dying to bring back to the showroom.

Share your aesthetic: In our showroom, we’re all about white walls, exposed air-conditioning units, Belgian linen draperies and Italian light gray tiles. I’m from the Northeast originally, so I wanted it to feel like my one-time home.

Owner of Hallandale Beach’s acclaimed furniture showroom Renovation Room, Beth Geduld finds inspiration in all places, from artistic paper cutting to Jamie Oliver’s newest cookbook.

LUXURY

THE VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM’S INTRIGUING “WHAT IS LUXURY?” EXHIBIT STIMULATED OUR OWN THOUGHTS AND CONVERSATIONS ON DECODING THAT VERY QUERY.

COM_LX3_Radar_WhatIsLuxury_126-132.indd 126

7/16/15 1:50 PM

A

nswering the question of what luxury is proves to be a much more complex task than one would imagine. On the surface, the widely accepted denotation of the word skews toward the ornate, highpriced, limited-edition, but perhaps distilling luxury down to just a prescribed set of words is not the best course to chart. It is rather an idea that shapes to who you are, what you like, where you live…even when you live.

For its provocative exhibit “What is Luxury?” (through September 27), the Victoria and Albert Museum in London questions, challenges and explores this concept through the eyes of curators Jana Scholze and Leanne Wierzba, who peel back the layers of the obvious to unveil that, in fact, luxury is established and molded within certain parameters—time, setting and individual preference. The show, which promises to “interrogate ideas of luxury today…and address how luxury is made and understood in a physical, conceptual and cultural capacity,” analyzes the evolving perception of the notion. A jewel-encrusted, solid-gold crown fashioned for 18th-century Portuguese royalty gets just as equal value as a plastic object created within the confines of a fictional future where the now commonplace material is heralded as a rarity.

In answer to the museum’s general call on the subject, we asked design industry vets to interpret their own meaning of luxury, and what we discovered was a common thread: Luxury is an impression, a moment in time, space, experience, the undeniable pleasure of something well-made. It’s the softness and warmth of walnut; the beauty in the imperfect hand-made light fixture; the truly one-of-a-kind artifact brought back from a worldly excursion.

Luxury goes beyond the fundamental to a place of the exclusive and the extraordinary.

Read on and ponder your own definition.

NATUR AL BEAUTY

DOYENNE OF LINEN BERNIE DE LE CUONA LETS US PEEK PAST THE CASHMERE DRAPERIES AND INTO THE YARN BEHIND HER LUXURIOUS FABRIC HOUSE. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY CARA GIBBS PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAVID CLEVELAND

Beauty matters: I was not a textile expert before starting my company and the whole thing began by mistake really: I just wanted to produce beautiful things and see if I could sell them. So, I left my home in South Africa for Brussels, where I garnered a tremendous wealth of knowledge on linen, silk, cashmere and tailoring techniques, and from there, my passion developed into so much more than I could have ever imagined.

A love of linen: It’s obvious I fell in love with linen. Aside from it being the oldest fiber known to man, linen is also such a versatile material; it can take on many forms.

There’s quite a debt in the market when it comes to linen because it’s a difficult material to work with. Anything natural possesses imperfections in the fibers, and that’s precisely what I like to use. Linen can also achieve perfection if pushed. It’s a fabric that can go from acutely raw to highly luxurious—what’s not to love about that?

Creative process: Mine is a fluid one, but not a perfect science; it shifts depending upon my current muse or inspiration. One constant, though, are my drawings—I sketch everything by hand to convey an idea. When the idea is ready, I work very closely with each mill and artisan to create a new product. I’m also a believer in creating change through a contrast of textures—an enduring combination has been my heavy Buffalo linen alongside the very delicate Feather Cashmere.

Life in Windsor: I absolutely love it! It’s just far enough from the hustle and bustle of London and flush with history: My studio lives in famed Mistress Page’s House, steps from Windsor Castle; it’s so easy to be constantly inspired in such an environment.

Greatest luxury: Spending time on the banks of Africa’s Zambezi River, where mobile phones and hair dryers don’t work, and having nothing more on the to-do list than a long hike in the brush.

What’s next: I’ve recently noticed a lot of buzz around organic, natural materials and how the artisans’ hands are more noticeable in the product. For de Le Cuona, this has always been the mantra. That being said, I never ignore modern machinery, because mixing handmade and modern techniques creates something entirely dynamic with a fresh perspective—that’s the future.

ANNA WINTOUR: She is the cornerstone of

ANNIE LEIBOVITZ: Annie is very astute. When we met to shoot our family portrait, she had already studied basically every image of us her office could find. She had analyzed our wardrobe and knew what she wanted us to wear. It was remarkable to work with someone at that level of professionalism. She pieces together personality, point of view and purpose in her camera work.

Carrier and Company: She was our first client and is still our biggest patron. We did her office at 4 Times Square and at 1 World Trade Center, her house in the country and subsequent guest cottages, her kids’ dorm rooms, their first apartments and second apartments…it’s an ongoing relationship.

FINDING THEIR CLIENTS’ VOICES: Our process generally begins with an interview in their current home, where we pick up from the visual clues and figure out what their tolerances are.

Then they’ll come to the office and we’ll put out piles of fabrics in very loose schemes and say, “Throw on the floor what you don’t like.” They start telling us what it reminds them of; their history starts to come out.

You’ll see that when we do traditional work, this is what it’s like. When we do country work, this is what we think about, etc.

of psychology behind design. Everyone has insecurities, aspirations and fantasies, but it’s very hard for people to express what they want the house to portray about them. It really teaches us a lot when clients don’t like sheen or dump anything that’s a silk or sateen; some hate heavy things and reject any velvet or mohair. It starts to show us what they want the project to say.

WEAK SPOTS: I’m a big sucker for painted furniture. I found this Swedish drop-front desk that’s not the traditional Swedish blue-gray but rather a funny tomato orange color with a weird green interior; I just thought it was the prettiest thing I’d ever seen.

GETTING INSPIRED: We absorb a lot through magazines and movies. We’ve been to Italy twice and there are still things that I take away from there—the color of the sunlight, the amount of texture in all the materials, the energy.

OBJECT ENVY: It’s incredible to think about

ART: It’s so emotional and energetic. I don’t like

where our clients have been and what their eyes have seen. They have such amazing collections; Annie’s photography or Anna’s weird Clarice Cliff pottery. They’re like little house museums.

to know the backstory, what makes the artist important or what they were thinking…all the stuff that a collector wants to know. It ruins it for me.

We pick things that feel good or resonate, not based off the name. It’s not always expected.

The husband-and-wife duo behind design firm Carrier and Company may be self-admitted bohemians, though you wouldn’t be quick to make that guess from a peek at their vast portfolio of highprofile clients: think Anna Wintour and Jason Wu, amongst many other fashion greats. Their first foray in the world of publishing, entitled Carrier and Company: Positively Chic Interiors, invites you into the expertly eclectic and all-parts covetable spaces that they’ve dreamed up since they launched their firm in 2005. Here, Jesse Carrier and Mara Miller chime in on their weaknesses, Italian muses and— what else?—having the illustrious Annie Leibovitz shoot their family portrait.

RENOWNED FASHION HOUSE OSCAR DE LA RENTA TEAMS UP WITH PORTUGUESE PORCELAIN COMPANY VISTA ALEGRE TO CREATE A FEMININE SERVICE WITH A NOD TO COUTURE. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY MIMI FAUCETT

Fashion leader Oscar de la Renta’s legacy for making women look and feel beautiful has long since made its way off the runway and into our homes. This fall, by way of a powerhouse partnership with Portuguese porcelain brand Vista Alegre, this same sensibility has taken the form of fine china. “Vista Alegre is a company with an incredible legacy,” says Carolina Irving, creative director at Oscar de la Renta Home. “The collaboration between us has been such a fascinating process.” Named after Irving herself, the Carolina collection takes its distinctive pattern directly from a gown designed for de la Renta’s Spring 2006 runway collection. “What’s so great about the scheme is that we were able to lift individual prints from the dress to be applied to the tabletop pieces,” recalls Irving. “I spent two days in the factory exploring the archives with the Vista Alegre team. We took a versatile pattern and together we reinterpreted it in a fresh and beautiful way.” The full-range dinner service is characterized by floral motifs and boasts a vibrant coral hue—one of the late fashion designer’s favorites. “Coral has always been a classical color used in 18th-century china,” adds Irving. “The goal was to revisit something antique and translate it to modern times with Oscar’s unmistakeable eye.”

MEMORY BANK NEAR THE SHORES OF LAKE COMO, PROMEMORIA’S ROMEO SOZZI DRAWS ON HIS FAMILY’S RICH TRADITION OF CRAFTSMANSHIP, CREATING DISTINGUISHED FURNISHINGS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY. WRITTEN BY LISA BINGHAM DEWART PRODUCED BY ARLYN HERNANDEZ

Luxury design is embedded in Romeo Sozzi’s DNA. “I’m a third-generation cabinetmaker,” says the founder and president of Italian furniture firm Promemoria. “I grew up in the family workshop, learning from my father and grandfather.” In 1988, after clients began requesting custom items, Romeo conceived Promemoria. “I wanted to offer people the pieces they couldn’t find on the market.” Today, the prestigious brand’s manufacturing methods would seem familiar even to the Sozzi family’s 19th-century forbearers, who made their living as coachmakers for the local nobility. “We don’t have stock and our production is not industrial; everything is handmade here in Italy, often customized and done in limited editions,” says Romeo, who has continued his family’s generational influence by bringing aboard his sons Stefano, Davide and Paolo.

Beyond his hands-on strategy, Romeo approaches design holistically. “A product is not just an object; it’s an experience,” he points out. “I use fragrant woods like cypress for the inside of cabinets to ignite the sense of smell, and there’s nothing like caressing a velvet chair to rouse the sense of touch.” For inspiration, Romeo ranges widely, finding it equally in the landscape of his home near Lake Como and further afield (a recent collection drew from Asian philosophy). While grounded in centuriesold traditions, Romeo continues to hone his vision and practices. “Last year, we introduced alabaster for lampshades as well as a process that combines strips of leather in different colors that resembles stacked wood,” he reports. This year, they showed cabinets and tables inlaid with bronze flecks reminiscent of stars scattered across the night sky.

Even the firm’s name—a Latin term meaning “for the sake of memory”—suggests the brand’s impulse to look to both the future and the past as the business continues to evolve. “I call my company Promemoria because I understand it as a memory of past traditions, which has a fundamental role in my work,” says Romeo. Adds Paolo, “Though our philosophy changes a little every day to move forward, we still follow the memory.”

THE SHAPE OF THINGS

FOR BEC BRITTAIN, ENGINEERING LIGHT FIXTURES DESIGNED TO PUZZLE AND AMAZE IS AN INNATE PROCESS THAT CONTINUES TO ILLUMINATE HER PATH. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY CARA GIBBS PHOTOGRAPHY BY RENÉ CERVANTES

COM3_RadarBecBrittain_144.indd 144

“I have always thought with systems and structure in mind,” explains New York-based bespoke lighting designer Bec Brittain, whose latest introductions fall perfectly in line with her distinct geometric body of work. Debuting at this year’s ICFF was Zelda (shown above), which, like many of Brittain’s creations, is highly versatile. “Zelda’s flexible form can be fashioned in a simple single diamond formation, arranged concentrically in geometric orbits or fit together like the links of a chain,” she says. “I initially had a few ideas for configuration during the sketch process, but now that we have the parts in-house and can play with them, new ideas start to reveal themselves.” Proving that design is anything but linear, Zelda’s powerful persona shows off Brittain’s classic trademark of fusing

cutting-edge technology alongside sculptural shapes conveyed in sleek materials. “Clearly, I love brass,” states the designer. “And, Zelda’s juxtaposition of the brass-encased LED tubing with the gracefully suspended planar forms adapts to a vast array of spaces and sensibilities. I just love the freedom of lighting design, in that I have so much room to play sculpturally.” Indeed, with both architecture and philosophy in her degree repertoire, Brittain’s translation of light is uniquely her own and unquestionably a subject of intrigue among the rest of the industry. Currently, the creative Brooklynite is expanding her reach—with her new Los Angeles outpost opening this fall— bridging her forward-thinking point of view from coast to coast.

#INSTACRUSH @veryallegra

WHO: Jewelry designer and trendsetter Allegra Fanjul, the Palm Beach-based style blogger behind veryallegra.com.

WHAT: Expect to see beach-chic baubles and statement pieces from Fanjul’s personal collection, cool designer vignettes, classic ensembles and a lot of palm trees.

WHY: Through her lens, Fanjul expresses the fashion-savvy lifestyle that makes her blog so popular. With curated images of her jewelry designs, outfits, food and travel shots, her Instagram feed provides inspiration and insight into the fashionista’s world.

IN HER WORDS: “I love my iPhone 6 and its camera when I’m on the go. I try to have the best lighting when taking photos so I don’t need to use any filters. I also have a Canon EOS 70D that I use for most of my outfit shots. My favorite lens is a 40mm, because it gives you the ability to have a blurred background effect.”

BLUEPRINT METROPICA

Metropica, a community megaproject in Sunrise, will be a 4-million-square-foot center featuring a variety of different retail shops, diverse restaurant options and eight individual residential towers. Among the plethora of amenities currently under construction are a central park, a health and wellness center, an exclusive, resortstyle South Beach-inspired beach club, several public and civic performing arts spaces, mini soccer fields and more. The brainchild of architect Chad Oppenheim, landscape architecture firm EDSA, architectural design firm CI Design and design house YOO, the urban project seeks to embody the feel of a “city within a suburb.”

Phase one of the $1.5-billion complex, the residential towers, broke ground this summer. YOO at Metropica, the first residential tower, will feature a soothing color palette of pale gray, silver and white with pops of color.

“The building expresses notions of tropical modernism,” says Oppenheim. “It celebrates the connection between nature and the built environment by establishing an ecological urbanism of lush native gardens and city living.” livemetropica.com

When will you open? Our new showroom at 1351 Boca Raton Boulevard will have its grand opening in January 2016. Why Boca Raton? We have firsthand experience with consumers in this area, as well as an amazing pool of talented designers and developers with which we work.

It was an easy decision. What brands do you offer? Vanguard, EJ Victor, Baker, Caracole, Burton James, Visual Comfort, Adriana Hoyos, Seasonal Living and our own original line of case goods. What makes your showroom different? The heart and soul of the new showroom will be our community room. We will not only be hosting educational design seminars and celebrity design lectures, but we will also allow local organizations to use the space. clivedaniel.com

JAPANESE GARDENS

“When designing a new exhibit, we gather together a team of curators and educators who are involved in interpreting Japanese art and culture. The team presents a list of ideas and concepts, whether it’s a woodblock print or an 18th-century painting exhibition. From there, we try to balance traditional Japanese culture with something that’s more contemporary, such as ‘Japan’s Robot Kingdom,’ a vintage toy and comic book collection currently on display. We have various artists submit their work for consideration, among them is up-and-coming, Florida-based artist Hiromi Moneyhun. She creates threedimensional paper stencils on specially lit paper. We’re looking to feature her work in 2016.” -TAMARA JOY, MORIKAMI.ORG

THE MAKER SPENCER ANTLE

INSIDE EDITION LUXE TAPPED TALENTED LOCAL DESIGNERS FOR THEIR BEST SOURCES AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO SHINE A LIGHT ON SOME OF THE AREA’S FINEST OFFERINGS IN ART AND DESIGN.

“We have quite a few amazing antiques stores in West Palm Beach.

Côté Jardin has stunning and eclectic offerings, while Authentic Provence carries lovely French garden wares and fountains. Mecox and Walker Zabriskie Furniture are also wonderful sources.”

“Susie Wilber, co-founder of The Laughing Dog Gallery in Vero Beach, has a well-trained eye and an extensive knowledge of the world of fine American crafts. Her exhibitions at the gallery are inspiring, and the experience is always joyful.”

“Although Vero Beach is diminutive in size, we make up for it with an abundant arts and cultural scene. The Vero Beach Museum of Art has great exhibitions showcasing a wide variety of mediums and styles. It is a constant source of inspiration and a hub of creativity.”

Formerly an award-winning television commercial director, Island Company’s founder and creative director, Spencer Antle, is an adventurous entrepreneur that has made a name for himself in the world of designer resort wear. His swimwear line, as well as his mix of dresses, shirts, sandals, accessories and more, have a simple, albeit luxurious, quality to them. Although he attributes his initial fashion success to chance, having only dabbled in design to offer his former girlfriend a better swimsuit selection, Island Company has become a staple in its hometown of West Palm Beach, though its reach is expanding quickly. Island Company now has six retail stores from Nantucket to Grand Cayman and is sold at more than 300 resorts worldwide. Here, we take a moment to shoot the breeze with the man that started the brand. islandcompany.com Describe your aesthetic vision.

Everything I design at and for the Island Company is intended to have a neo-retro feel.

Whether it’s 20 years ago or 20 years from now, our clothing is timeless enough to remain popular. The secret to my success is that we do not dictate the clothes for the lifestyle; the lifestyle dictates them to us.

Why Palm Beach?

Being in Palm Beach is important because it is part of our authenticity. We’re located in the tropics, unlike some other resort-style clothing companies that design out in the cold.

Someday, I’m going to move this whole thing to Havana where I can have a landing strip and 600 acres of pure tropical ridiculousness.

What is your approach to design?

My artistic process is a series of rough drafts tweaked to perfection. I’ve created dresses from sketches I’ve drawn on napkins, or pieced together an outfit using ideas inspired by a movie. In the end, I don’t get wrapped up in the particulars—clothes are meant to be commodities that must sell and fit perfectly.

Who is your favorite local artist?

The late Lamar Briggs, an abstract artist whose use of tropical color palettes was incredible, remains an inspiration to me. His paintings, monotypes, watercolors, sculptures, woodcuts and tapestries have been exhibited internationally.

He was a good friend and a lot of fun to have lunch with. He will be missed.

IN STEP UNITED NUDE

Architectural footwear brand United Nude is reinventing the way fashionistas strut in their high heels. Known for its sculptural silhouettes and advanced manufacturing processes, the company is at it again: expanding its multidimensional, rubber-molded Lo Res collection—shown in High Red, Metallic Silver and Blossom—by incorporating malleable chromed-finishing technologies into some of its designs. And thanks to 3D Systems, the label has also launched a limited-edition collaboration line with such design greats as Zaha Hadid and Ross Lovegrove to offer wearable 3D-printed shoes that might as well be art. In a shared expression of love for fashion and design, United Nude presented its latest styles at a pop-up shop during the recent opening of AC Hotel Miami Beach. Since both brands boast a modern mindset and European roots, the pairing was a natural step and speaks to the hotel’s expansion into the lifestyle arena. This partnership proves that if the shoe fits, you don’t have to just wear it—you can wear it in style. unitednude.com; ac-hotels.com

DATE BOOK CATHERINE STEWART

9 a.m. Meet me at my showroom, Catherine Stewart Home, for some great design ideas. Pick up a hostess gift or gorgeous pillow for your home before heading over to Emko across the street for a cup of coffee and a pastry. Stay and explore the art, too.

10 a.m. Take a stroll up South Dixie to find some hidden gems near the Norton Museum of Art. Boutiques like Dina C’s vintage clothing store offer hard-to-find accessories, as well as one-of-a-kind items.

11 a.m. Don’t forget to take a peek at the Norton Museum’s permanent art displays and sculpture gardens. It’s a wonderful place for a reflective stroll among leafy palms and Ann Norton’s amazing sculptures.

3 p.m. Drive a few minutes north to visit the incomparable Bruce Helander’s studio. He’s a talented local artist who specializes in collage projects. His pieces are highly collectible; I’m very lucky to own one myself.

4 p.m. Cross the Royal Park Bridge to find Lori Jayne Monogramming. Lori has impeccable taste and provides in-store monogramming, in addition to a bevy of other exquisite custom home and fashion items.

12 p.m. Stop by Table 26 for brunch.

The atmosphere there is both intimate and refined with a nautical twist to boot; plus, the eggs benedict is always delicious.

5 p.m. I also like Tracy Smith’s shop, House of Lavande, in the Royal Poinciana Plaza. The store boasts an incredible array of vintage jewelry— beautiful necklaces, rings and wearable art pieces—available from all the famous design houses.

1 p.m. Head over to see Chase Thomas at Lotus Hair Studio. With more than 20 years of experience trimming the tresses of Palm Beach’s fashion elite, you won’t be disappointed.

6 p.m. Grab an early dinner at Lynora’s downtown. It recently opened to rave reviews and offers excellent Italian fare.

I recommend any of the salads, and the brick-oven pizzas are a crowd favorite.

Furniture and lighting designer Catherine Stewart recently opened her own showroom, Catherine Stewart Home, on South Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach. Ten minutes north of Antique Row, the showroom carries items from her personal label, Hamilton Furniture, but also offers up custom furniture and design services. Exotic woods and intricate inlay patterns adorn small household items throughout the shop, and Stewart stocks unique pre-wrapped gift items that are perfect as housewarming presents. “I recently began showcasing emerging artists at White Gallery two doors down from my shop,” says Stewart. “Our first show was with Austin Manchester, whose work is very surreal and dreamlike. I hope to approach other local talents during the fall and winter seasons to host weeklong shows.” Here, Stewart takes a break to sit down with us and share her itinerary for a casual day of shopping in West Palm Beach. catherinestewarthome.com

BARRY DIXON

Personal style: Traditional with an edge. Signature look: Blazer or country jacket, shirt and tie…with scarves and boots, of course; I live in the country! Closet staples: I’m a big Tom Ford fan and his jackets are among some of my favorite pieces I own. Recent fashion score: A new pair of Thom Browne wingtip brogues. Interior philosophy: Classic timelessness always seems relevant, especially when it’s thoughtfully intermixed with modern elements in fresh ways. Design mantra: Old is the new "new."

Accessory motives: They ebb and flow in importance to me, usually by season—more important in winter, less in summer. Splurge-worthy: Art and antiques, beautiful fabrics and luggage. Source of inspiration: The natural world around me, specifically my farm in Virginia.

Never too many… Overcoats.

Can’t live without… Dogs. Guilty pleasure: Dogs with overcoats.

Luxury is… Things that feel good to the touch—a tactile experience.

Whether rough and splintery or smooth and soft, luxury is a feeling.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR CALVIN KLEIN

Drama: Castle is a showstopper. It is industrial by way of repetition yet sculpturally compelling and radiant. The way the light subtly glows, rather than shining brightly, is its greatest strength.

Statement: Our eye immediately focuses on a “statement piece.” A dynamic shape, like that of Castle, draws you in and demands attention.

Talent: Offering a voice to the next generation of designers is vital to our industry. Young creatives today, like Jason Miller, bring new ideas and start conversations that lead to innovation.

Luxury: Keen attention to the details of materiality and functionality is luxury.

Composition: The strength of the Tommy collection is in the juxtaposition of its complex texture within simple silhouettes. The pieces command attention in a soft yet stable way. Classic: The collection reminds me of European antiques markets, with the design combining influences from both classic French eras and midcentury patterns. Evolution: There is a fine balance to strike when retaining the essence of a brand and moving with the times. People live informally today, and by incorporating formal pieces into everyday life, it makes even the most ordinary tasks feel like a treat. Luxury: People will always crave formal luxuries as they create a beautiful environment to share with family and friends.

Form: The Ada stool is deceptively simple yet well-considered in terms of its materiality and design. There’s an Escher quality to the lines of the piece that makes it feel magical, and the negative space becomes essential. Material: The warmth and gleam of the polished brass is all modern sophistication and purely chic.

The gold hue contrasts beautifully with the matte upholstered seat. Feel: Whimsy is a key element in keeping a brand fresh and current in today’s marketplace. Adding a moment of delight is precisely the thing that brings a collection to life. Luxury: Luxury is how something makes you feel—it’s a sensation and a quality tied to personal experience.

DEBORAH LLOYD PRESIDENT AND CHIEF CREATIVE OFFICER KATE SPADE NEW YORK

Shape: The Fut table feels like more than a table—it sparks the imagination to focus on what isn’t there just as much as what is. It’s almost musical with its drum-like form. There’s simplicity and purity to the piece, but it still manages to intrigue you. Surprise: In today’s market, it’s important for a brand to surprise customers in a way that makes them smile. That said, it’s equally important to be thoughtful in your choices and balance a sense of whimsy with timeless silhouettes and traditional materials.

Connection: Buying a piece is personal. I love objects that tell a story. I curate the rooms in my home with pieces that feel special and never buy anything that I’m not in love with. Luxury: Luxury is not something you can define; it’s something you feel.

Muse: Before my first trip to Capri years ago, I had read about Livio de Simone and was fascinated by his vibrant use of pattern and color. Cubi 3D feels as though you are looking out of a small window on an island by the sea. Color: The way the colors interact here is so simple yet bold. The different tones of blue and green transport the viewer to a place of serenity. It makes me feel calm and nostalgic. Memory: The way the hues of the sea and sky come together in this motif reminds me of my glamorous grandmother in the 1970s wearing a patterned headscarf in a Cadillac convertible.

Design: Moroso is great at combining classic lines with updated materials and finishes.

The company’s experimentation with scale in their oversize upholstery attracts me to its pieces. Double Zero is at once masculine, sensible, edgy and fluid.

Technology has influenced and affected every industry in design—its ubiquity has forced even the most ardent of purists to adapt in one way or another. But simply adapting is not enough: The survival of today’s leading manufacturers of luxury, bespoke goods has been contingent upon their ability to find an equilibrium between handmade and high-tech. “THE MARK OF THE MAKER” takes a look inside some of the most respected companies in their fields, recognized for their painstakingly intricate building processes and commitment to pre-modern artisanal forms of production.

SUN VALLEY BRONZE

“

Our clients are looking for one-of-a-kind products that are designed to last.

Since its inception, Sun Valley Bronze has been characterized by being an innovative and dynamic business with a relentless quality-centric product strategy. The company’s style and design language has continuously evolved over the past two decades to create a leading American-made brand. Sun Valley Bronze’s design studio and manufacturing facility are creative powerhouses, blending time-honored, handcrafted practices with cutting-edge technology. “When the company first started, every pattern was created by hand,” shares Sun Valley Bronze Founder Bob Commons. “Today, we use more state-of-the-art processes, such as 3-D modeling, CNC milling and 3-D printing. These processes are used from design concept throughout manufacturing.” The evolution of an idea to a tangible, beautiful object begins with a sketch. Technology brings the drawing into brilliant, living color with 3-D modeling software. It is then sent to the CNC milling machine to create a prototype, or one of Sun Valley Bronze’s skilled artisans will create a pattern by hand.

“Prototypes are field checked for functionality and how the user interacts with the piece,” Commons says. “Fine-tuning of the design generally happens by hand.” An amalgam of human artistry and technological feats, the Sun Valley Bronze brand has become synonymous with beautiful design made to the highest of standards.

Q+A WITH SUN V AL L E Y BRONZE FOUN DE RS BOB AND DEBBIE COMMONS How do you choose your materials? What comes first—the materials or design concept?

Materials are always integral to the design process.

We work primarily in art-grade silicon and white bronze. Our products are sand-cast, which creates a beautiful, authentic and subtle texture on the surface of the material.

What are your influences when conceiving a piece of work?

The majority of our custom work is driven by architects and designers who want a specific architectural detail to be carried throughout a project. Outside of custom work, our designs are driven by material, ergonomics and process.

Have your practices changed to keep up with new technologies?

Absolutely. When Sun Valley Bronze first started 20 years ago, all patterns were made in a woodshop by hand. Today, we use 3-D modeling software and CNC milling machines. We also collaborate with Boise State University to realize some of our more complicated designs with 3-D printing technology.

SAMAD

“

There are no shortcuts when it comes to quality.

Brothers and business partners David and Malcolm Samad founded their handknotted rug business more than 30 years ago. Steeped in a familial legacy of hard work and strong ethics, the entrepreneurial Samads set out to create the world’s finest decorative rugs. “The foundation of our business is based on our love of beautiful carpets,” David says. “Our late father, Eric Samad, taught us the importance of running our business with integrity and establishing meaningful relationships with our manufacturers and customers alike.” Founded in New York City and now headquartered in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the company has expanded globally with offices in England and India. Known for exquisitely blended, hand-carded, handspun wools and silks, Samad’s creative processes date to antiquity—technology, while beneficial, has not been as instrumental in the creation of these meticulously crafted rugs. True to its origins, “made by hand” prevails in this ancient art form.

“Essentially, making a hand-knotted rug is exactly the same today as it has been for centuries,” Malcolm says. “What has changed is the technology that allows us to see what a finished rug will look like on a computer screen even before it is woven.

Reducing the trial and error factor has allowed us to focus and produce rugs that are fashion forward in both color and design.”

“There are no hard and fast rules when creating a rug,” Malcolm asserts. “We start with a concept, which will in turn determine which materials and creative elements we use to enhance the design.”

HUBBARDTON FORGE 1

“

We continue to grow as a domestic manufacturer in a climate where the majority of our competition is using overseas production.

”

I NSI GHTS FRO M HUBBARDTON F ORGE

Hubbardton Forge began life in 1974 in a tiny, drafty barn in Vermont. From the beginning, the ambition was to create beautiful, inspiring, heirloom-quality pieces that would be loved. Today, equipped with more than 200 skilled craftspeople, artisans and trade professionals, Hubbardton Forge is an American classic in the realm of hand-forged lighting. “Authenticity and genuineness is the lifeblood of everything we do, from our designs and the artisans who take pride in their work, to how we treat our employees and our environment,” says Hubbardton Forge Design Director David Kitts. A design-driven company rooted in the ideals of handcraftsmanship and quality materials, Hubbardton Forge draws inspiration from a myriad of people, places and objects, with designers proficient in architecture, jewelry design, engineering and beyond. The common denominator among this blend of artisans is the passion for the forge. “Our primary muse is the steel we forge,” he says. “We are always experimenting with what can be done next with steel and other metals.” Its design process, often the result of the convergence of two paths, is guided by both the marketplace and the imagination. “First, our designs are based on trends, gaps and needs in the marketplace; the second being unique forms, shapes and concepts that may result from a variety of conditions,” Kitts says. “This often results in the beginning of a lighting design, which is then brought into a much more defined development process.”

What should we be looking for in well-made lighting fixtures?

A well-made fixture should not be held together by a lot of nuts and bolts or contain many (if any) plastic components or thin-gauged stamped parts.

It should have a quality of build that looks good both from a distance and close-up. The finish on the fixture should be durable and have depth.

How do you think the craft/artisan community in the U.S. has changed?

The increased focus on “made in America” has both been good and bad for the craft/artisan community.

It’s become a big marketing tool for many; however, we need to be careful that the authenticity is there.

There is a big difference between “made” and “assembled” in America.

How have your practices changed to keep up with new technologies?

The light source is no longer secondary in the design development process but is now often the driver in the design.

1. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater home, the Planar combines hand-forged planes of steel with LED light guide technology.

2. Metal is heated in the forge to nearly 2,000 degrees F before being bent and shaped by Vermont artisans.

DACOR

Established in 1948 by Stan Joseph, Dacor was founded upon the premise that innovation must matter. The Joseph family, rooted in a 50-year history in Los Angeles, California, has explored this philosophy in various forms, imposing demanding ambitions on their designers and engineers, as well as onto each other, to attempt stunning, original and technically progressive designs for residential kitchens. Their products, while varied in form and function, all maintain a strong appreciation for the end user.

“We ask ourselves, ‘How will this affect the homeowner?’” shares Dacor President Steven Joseph, “ ‘Are we making the cooking experience better? Easier? Simpler?’ It’s not about technology for technology’s sake— it’s about simplifying the cooking process to make the culinary experience accessible to everyone and to empower the individual.”

Bausman & Company, established in 1971 by Robert Williams and Craig Johnson, began in a small atelier in Southern California. Creating custom, handcrafted, bench-made furniture for designers and dealers attending High Point Market and high-end design firms locally, Bausman & Company has become synonymous with enduring craftsmanship and design integrity. “We have remained successful in providing the highest quality bench-made furniture in the U.S. to customers who deserve and appreciate the best products that their money can buy,” says the company’s president and CEO Craig Johnson. “We prefer to produce tomorrow’s heirlooms by successfully incorporating cutting-edge technology with old-world handmade practices.” Comprising artisans ranging from cabinetmakers to CAD engineers to craftspeople who complete a meticulous finishing process, Bausman & Company maintains a highly skilled team of professionals who average more than 20 years of refining their craft. “Our company’s continuous growth has allowed us to preserve and create jobs for artisans and craftspeople domestically producing products, ranging from one-of-a-kind items to production runs for contract and hospitality projects domestically and internationally,” Johnson says.

“

We prefer the human touch and the ability to make lastminute enhancements when creative inspirations occur.

A CONVERSAT ION WI T H BAUSMAN & C OMP ANY CEO CRAIG JOH NS ON From all the pieces in your collection, which is your favorite and why?

My favorite piece right now is a reclaimed oak office cabinet designed by our Design Director, Dominique Daniels. It has multidimensional symmetrical and asymmetrical planes inspired

by Frank Lloyd Wright. I admire the texture and sculptural nuances in the presentation, as well as the hidden storage elements combined with our handcrafted iron hardware and base.

Do you have a design process? If so, what is it?

We design concepts ranging from modernizing classics to executing specific project requirements from clients to working as a design incubator for local design talent.

What legacy do you wish to leave behind?

I would like our furniture and the Bausman brand to be highly regarded and valued 100 years from now by multigenerations after we are no longer manufacturing. I hope that they will say: “Bausman really understood the meaning of timeless quality in manufacturing.”

An American dream fulfilled, the story of Baldwin Hardware is marked by a tireless work ethic, deft craftsmanship and ingenuity—tenets that remain the lifeblood of the company today. Established in 1946, the architectural hardware manufacturer is best known for its enduring bronze masterpieces. From the moment the material is first handled and worked, each process builds on a seven-decade-long heritage. “We have a robust design process involving many steps along the way,” says PJ Rosch, Baldwin brand manager. The transformation from the abstract to the tangible begins with the Baldwin design team as they sketch hundreds of concepts. The best are then selected for multiple rounds of refinement and market research. “We have many tools at our disposal, including rapid-prototyping and hand-sculpting tools,” she says. “Once in production, our products are handcrafted by an average of 30 people throughout the manufacturing process.” The last rounds of refinement for a Baldwin product are the most critical, as even the most infinitesimal change can alter its form and utility.

“It is the last 10 percent of the design that separates us from the competition,” Rosch asserts. “It’s thrilling to see a piece of work come to life.”

LITTMAN BRANDS Immersed in the lighting industry for more than 35 years, David Littman, founder and chairman of esteemed lighting manufacturer Littman Brands, possesses an infectious exuberance for his work and plays an integral part in creating and producing each design to his discerning standards. “Littman Brands companies are positioned toward the high end of the market. We don’t know how (and are not planning) to design inexpensive lighting fixtures,” Littman asserts. “Decorative lighting used to be more of an afterthought, and we’ve invested a lot of resources into educating consumers about how quality lighting enhances architecture for the long-term.” The parent company for three distinct decorative lighting brands—Hudson Valley Lighting, Troy Lighting and Corbett Lighting—Littman Brands honors the beauty of time-honored designs and antiques while incorporating new technology into its timeless pieces.

“Across all brands, we are always looking for new and innovative materials to enhance our lighting designs or inspire us to create something unique,” he says. “For example, we incorporated our high-performance LEDs into some of our latest collections, where we actually machined important components (for displacing heat) as part of the exposed decorative fixture.”

THE MARK OF THE MAKER

MARGE CARSON Marge Carson embodies the entrepreneurial, “can-do” paradigm shift that took place during and after WWII in the United States. In the late 1940s, Carson, formerly an interior designer, was continually unsuccessful in her search for fine upholstery—so she decided to make it herself. Today, Marge Carson has grown beyond the individual and into a brand name synonymous with quality and craftsmanship.

The bespoke furniture company makes bedroom, dining room, upholstery and occasional furniture, often slightly larger in scale to proportion properly for larger homes or larger spaces. Its methods of handcraftsmanship have been long maintained, from sketching to carving. “We are always evolving with the times,” says Jim LaBarge, owner and CEO of Marge Carson. “However, we will continue to hand carve rather than cast carve or machine carve, because we believe it gives the item an integrity and authenticity not achievable by the other methods.” Upholstery, the basis on which the firm was founded, is a great source of pride for LaBarge. “Fine upholstery starts with fabric, which often has a pattern. There are various complexities to get these patterns to match properly and our fabric cutters and upholsters can either flow match, two-way match or four-way match fabric depending on the shape of the item,” he shares. “We believe our fabric matching capabilities are the finest in the furniture industry.”

“

Our mantra to our craftspeople is to make each item as though they are making it for their own mother; if she would not approve and be proud of their work, then don’t send it on to our customers.

”

DESIGN-MINDED: A CONVERSATION WITH MARGE CARSON CEO JIM LABARGE How do you choose your materials? Which comes first—the materials or the design?

We often design furniture with unique materials, such as stone, shell or metal, in mind. The materials definitely influence our creations, both structurally and aesthetically.

What are your values and ethics when it comes to designing/creating?

We design for look and not for cost. A customer is overwhelmed with choices, and so you only have a nanosecond when they look at your product. It either tugs at their heartstrings or they move on.

What part of the design process excites you the most?

It is incredibly exciting to see design ideas become sketches, which get refined and then turned into prototypes, which get further refined and are then brought to market and receive “oohs” and “aahs” and then sell for years to delighted customers.

THE FINE LINE ROUTINE TAKES A BACKSEAT TO HIGH STYLE WHEN RICH MATERIALS AND LUXURY FIXTURES MEET IN THE HOME’S MOST PRACTICAL SPACES. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

There’s more to a showpiece kitchen or bathroom than materials and top-of-the-line appliances—though those obviously play a large role.

Instead, it’s the details that separate a strictly functional space from one that dazzles owners and guests alike (think: a pretty modern faucet that has sparkling water on tap or a couture-inspired bathroom vanity as multifaceted as a diamond), and you don’t have to go overthe-top to make a statement. Today’s luxury means embracing and celebrating artisanal goods, particularly when they come with a wellworn patina and slight imperfections that serve as charming signs of their makers’ hand. Here, we eschew flashy formality in favor of fancy-free spaces that are big on personality.

Favorite thing about this showstopping kitchen?

I particularly love the statement-making chandelier. We purchased it from Lobmeyr, a Vienna, Austria-based company that had originally designed the fixture for The Metropolitan Opera in New York over 40 years ago. It’s special and not something you get to see every day.

What makes this a luxury kitchen?

Here, it’s all about the thoughtfulness, time and consideration given to each and every one of the incredible details. There’s a lot of complexity here—both in terms of finishes and the engineering required to implement some of the designs.

It’s both understated yet impactful.

The monolithic structure sparkles against its backdrop of pristine white-glazed brick from Waterworks and functions as a nod to the home’s historic origins. “It gives the kitchen a really artistic approach,” says Eaton. “I love that the unlacquered brass finish will slowly change over time and produce a really beautiful patina as it ages, which is fitting as it recalls the brass doorknobs and hinges often found in the older town houses in this neighborhood.” tamaratoday.com

GOING COASTAL ENTRY FOYER

DESIGNER CAMPION PLATT CREATES A TRUE SENSE OF ARRIVAL IN THIS GRACIOUS ENTRY THAT BECKONS TO ITS TROPICAL SURROUNDINGS.

This foyer feels so authentic to the area. What was your starting point?

We freshened up the original pecky cypress ceiling for modern day by bleaching and pickling it. As for the floor, I was keen to have the tile resemble coral reefs, but since they are endangered, I had concrete molds made from existing materials to give a similar look while also being more eco-friendly and retaining an aesthetic often seen throughout older Palm Beach homes. We also used a special light pink Venetian plaster on the walls

by Ricardo Brizola, choosing a coral fan motif as a nod to the more traditional designs found throughout the area.

What signifies luxury to you?

Luxury is not about consumption, but rather about creating time to enjoy the small things in life. I always strive to find ways to make life easier so I can relish in the quiet moments more frequently. Also, it doesn’t hurt to have a large covered exterior room that’s also comfortable in the rain to spend these quiet moments in.

How did you create visual interest?

Because the area was small, I mirrored the wall to give the appearance of a larger space. I then softened the design with a modern, abstract art piece to add a little excitement.

Seemingly floating, the work is actually hung by fishing line from above. I also custom-designed the table, which features metal bubbles that appear to percolate up and finished it in an antique bronze to complement the wood ceiling and floor.

GOLDEN RULE

DINING ROOM INFUSING FLECKS OF GOLD INTO HIS SIGNATURE MONOCHROMATIC PALETTE, DESIGNER LESLY ZAMOR DEVISES A STUNNING LOOK FOR A GRAND PENTHOUSE APARTMENT.

Why does a simpler color palette play such a large role in many of your projects, including this one?

When it comes to design, I try to stay as neutral as possible. Before establishing my design firm, I owned a floral studio and really developed my aesthetic there. The rule of thumb in floral arrangements, and in interior design, is to place bright colors with other vivid colors; you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily mix pastels with vibrant hues. In my own personal tastes, I prefer a saturation of one color, as it feels much more natural to me to mix white with one other single shade.

Even though the palette is simple, you created such a visual contrast with the shelving.

We wanted this space to feel warm and cohesive, so we went with a cerused wood in a whitewashed finish to bring together the bookcases. Then, instead of paint, we used MDC wallcovering between the bookshelves that has a similar aesthetic to the wood.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also notice the symmetry of the bookshelves, a distinct feature throughout many of our designs.

While the two sides are almost exactly alike, I incorporated differing objects that were similar in size.

Did you face any challenges when bringing this space to life?

When we first entered the apartment, it was all open with no interior partition walls, so we decided to redesign the original architecture.

We created a private wing of the home that houses all of the bedrooms along with a public wing, which is where this space is located.

With such high ceilings, we wanted to identify this space from the adjoining rooms, so we fashioned a spatial distinction through the overhead track lighting; it helps to identify the area without a wall and provides a nice visual separation.

CUES FROM A FAMED FASHION HOUSE RESULT IN A DYNAMIC DESIGN BY ROBERT PASSAL FEATURING SUMPTUOUS FABRICS AND STANDOUT COLORS.

This design speaks to what you’re well known for: mix master. Take us through your inspiration for this room.

The clients, originally from New York, didn’t want their home to have a ‘typical’ Florida feel. While visiting New York City, they happened upon a newly remodeled Dior boutique and were blown away by the aesthetic: a study in black and white. The impact yet subtlety of the store’s coloration is what inspired them. It was my goal from there to create a home that felt livable, personal and unlike a showroom—a home to reflect them.

How did you create such an intimate space beneath such a lofty ceiling?

I find irony in the fact that most clients want their ceilings to be as high as possible, yet they desire a home that is also warm and cozy. Generally these two concept don’t work together, but here we created a sense of intimacy by first fashioning an inviting floor plan.

We also used a tremendous amount of soft goods; the draperies alone required 115 yards of fabric to frame the 24-foot-tall ceilings, creating a sense of plush, approachable luxury.

Tell us more about the furnishings you chose for this room.

The balance of old and new in this space truly resonates with me, as does the simple luxury that is evoked.

The majority of the furnishings were designed by our firm, such as the lacquered and gilded four-panel screen, which was placed there to disguise an awkward corner. The sofa, ottoman and charcoal club chair were designed to lend sculptural elements.

As such, the German-born dynamo knows a thing or two about what is consistently making it onto collectors’ wish lists. Here, Westphal puts the art industry into picture-perfect focus.

STATE OF

How have consumers’ art-buying habits changed over the past three to five years?

We are seeing more of clients collecting across different categories and eras. Many of today’s collectors are excited by the opportunity to hang a contemporary work alongside an Old Master or Impressionist painting. This is something we will be showcasing ahead of the London sale season with our curated “Masterpieces” exhibition, which will bring together highlights from all our major summer auctions.

What’s hot to collect right now?

My advice to those looking to build a collection is to purchase work that you love. This could be paintings or prints by the giants of contemporary art, like Warhol and Richter, or younger artists, such as Jonas Wood and Danh Vô; the important thing is to follow your passion.

Best way to display art at home?

One of the most thrilling aspects of contemporary art is the multitude of forms it takes: from painting to installation, video to performance. For this reason, it presents new opportunities and challenges when exhibiting at home. Last October, we offered works from Giobatta Meneguzzo’s collection that had hung in his iconic Gio Ponti house. It’s an extraordinary example of what is possible when the disciplines of art and architecture work together.

COM_LX32_TheReport_234-241.indd 236

Is there a specific genre or time period of art that is in demand currently?

The entirety of the contemporary art market is in a very strong place at the moment. Our May Contemporary Evening sale in New York was led by fantastic results for legendary names like Lichtenstein and Rothko, but we also saw new records for many artists working today, including talents like Christopher Wool and Mark Bradford.

What is the best international show for art lovers to attend each year?

The Venice Biennale opened in May, and I would urge any art lover to visit if they have the opportunity before it closes in late November. There is no better place to discover exciting new work—with the added bonus that it takes place in a stunningly beautiful setting! sothebys.com

Italian design house Zagato is a legend in the automotive industry, creating exclusive, custom versions of the world’s most soughtafter luxury vehicles for companies like Maserati, Ferrari and Aston Martin and private owners alike. One thing that remains consistent regardless of the emblem or badge on the cars’ hoods is the consumers’ desire for something unique, and according to Zagato CEO Andrea Zagato, design is key. “There’s something compelling about the freedom to explore new and different aesthetic solutions without having to follow mass-market trends,” he says. “Clients are turning to Zagato not only for one-of-a-kind trim and color but for the experience or adventure of making their own car rather than buying something as offered.” zagato.it

3 THE MOLD BREAK

Co-founder of the design-art institution Carpenters Workshop Gallery, entrepreneur Loic Le Gaillard shares his input on the qualities that make lighting, furniture and accessories the ultimate must-haves for today’s well-connected collectors.

Craftsmanship: It’s the most important thing when you’re buying an item at a high price point. Using quality materials like bronze, aluminum and wood factor in here, but it’s the notion of something being crafted by hand that is truly hitting home with our clients.

Name recognition: There are some designers who have a cache that can’t be touched. I love Wendell Castle (whose Dark Wish chair is showcased here); he’s amazing, and he’s just peaking now at the age of 82—delivering some of the best pieces of furniture he’s ever worked on. Ingrid Donat is also blowing me away with her pieces in bronze.

Limited edition: Design and art fairs are becoming major grounds for elite consumers, with each one looking for something that will differentiate their collections from those of their friends and neighbors. Limited-series runs or one-of-a-kind pieces are the way to do it; people are really responding to our gallery’s ethos. carpentersworkshopgallery.com

MATERIAL MAGIC Dr. Andrew Dent spends his days culling over the newest modern materials and technologies for his role as vice president of library and materials research for international creative database Material ConneXion.

As a result, Dent is on the forefront of the new industrial revolution, touting 3D printing, composite materials and PVD coating as the next big things. Of all the magical items to cross his desk, however, he does have one favorite: “I’m really crazy about something called Willow Glass right now,” he says. “It is thin, hard, flexible glass that can also be rolled up. It is currently being used as a hardtop surface for steels, plastics and painted finishes as a way of creating real glass, scratchresistant surfaces for other materials.” materialconnexion.com

GUEST OF

When travelers are looking to get away, they want to feel like they’re really getting away. While they’re not willing to eschew the comforts of home (think: air conditioning and spa-approved toiletries), their hope is that a trip to a ranch in Montana will come with horseback riding and a menu full of interesting game staples or that a weekend in the Florida Keys will deliver straw-hut bars galore. For Chief Creative Officer Scott Colee, whose luxury boutique hotel management company Noble House’s portfolio includes Gateway Canyons in Colorado and San Diego’s Kona Kai, this change from the all-inclusive packages of yore was easy to foresee. “It’s about giving guests an experience that cannot be duplicated anywhere else,” he says. “So, we work with local artisans during build-out and promote local breweries, wineries and cuisine.” noblehousehotels.com

LONDON CALLING

The recent release of Apple’s limited-edition, 18-karat gold watch has further highlighted a bit of a departure in the technology industry: It’s not enough to have the latest in digital advancements. Consumers must also feel like they are being presented with choices to help them express their individuality, whether it’s selecting the color of the finish on the back of their phone or picking the perfect fit for their wearable tech. It’s a trend that London-based Vertu has been keen to since it launched its first custom cell phone in 2002. “Consumer choice and the ability to use monograms, special colors or unique materials is commonplace in the luxury industry for valid reason,” says company CEO Massimiliano Pogliani. “It helps underpin the individual style of the buyer, which is paramount.” vertu.com

PLAYING

For celebrated event planner and entertainer extraordinaire Bronson van Wyck, a successful party is about more than food and flowers (though, if you’re in the throes of planning, he’ll be the first to tell you that a smattering of jewel-colored dahlias works beautifully for fall). Instead, it’s about creating an experience that attendees might never have dreamed of—like when his firm built an open-air chapel on a mountaintop valley in Aspen or completely tented Four Freedoms Park on New York’s Roosevelt Island. Catch up with the maestro’s top picks for an event to remember and start planning your dreamy fall fete now.

Most important element of luxury entertaining? Lighting! No other element can transform your party (and your guests) like lighting. When it’s strategically placed, it gives everyone a glow-y boost (and acts like an instant Instagram filter). It should come from three levels: display votives below, taper candles at eye level and a glittering chandelier above. Hottest party trend? Hosts and guests alike are embracing fantastical themes like masquerade parties. When you dress up, you drink more, and when you drink more, you have more fun. Who’s your go-to for luxury tabletop décor? I love what Elad Yifrach has created with L’Objet. He takes my favorite things, like snakes, malachite and even fish scales, and brings them to the table with rich textures and luxurious colors. I also rely on Bellino for linens. What’s on the menu?

I prefer serving comfort food or unexpected dishes, but there’s no doubt that fried chicken just tastes better when it’s served on china. Dress code? Yay or nay? Yes. You want your guests to feel comfortable, and nothing makes you feel more out of place than being overdressed or underdressed. Spell it out so people arrive feeling good and ready to have a ball. vanwyck.net

CROWN

JEWEL

Diamonds have been the go-to mineral-as-status-symbol since the 1930s, but new pioneers in the jewelry landscape, such as New York-based designer Monique Péan, have been finding inspiration from other rare materials, like fossilized walrus ivory, dinosaur bone and meteorite. The result is a diversified accessories experience that is quickly transforming what consumers think of when they talk about jewelry and what they’re gravitating toward when it’s time to wear it.

Have consumers become more interested in manufacturing? I think that people are beginning to realize how important it is to consider how the materials used to create a piece of jewelry were sourced, as well as how it was assembled. We work with artisanal miners and mines that are dedicated to social and environmental responsibility.

What is the appeal of the unusual materials you use in designs? Fossilized dinosaur bone is extremely rare, as it has been petrified during the fossilization process; its intricate patterns remind me of abstract art. I think that working with sustainable and natural materials that are simultaneously hard to

COM_LX32_TheReport_234-241.indd 240

find and beautiful connects with the larger message of protecting our environment and supporting slow design and indigenous art and culture.

What other industries are you watching for inspiration?

Each year, I take a trip to a new destination to find sustainable materials and partner with local artisans. My recent Seto collection was inspired by Japan and the juxtaposition between the country’s traditional art and the minimalist works of native architect Tadao Ando. I referenced the aerial view of Ando’s simple, graphic shapes against the island’s natural landscape by surrounding painterly patterned agate and lovely tourmalinated quartz with bold structural settings. moniquepean.com

BY THE YARD Is there anything more luxurious than a smooth Venetian silk? Maybe not, but major advancements in the textile industry are putting the newest crop of fabrics made from acrylic yarns in serious competition. For Donghia Creative Director Chuck Chewning, these lifestyle-friendly category defiers are changing the game. “There’s been a major movement to durability,” he explains. “People want to live comfortably with their children and their animals by their sides, but they don’t want to compromise on aesthetics and good looks. The strides we’ve made in outdoor fabrics in particular have been huge. We’re now able to recreate outdoor velvets and chenille that mimic the look and feel of the real thing so closely it’s incredible.” donghia.com

ENVIRONMENT Architect Ted Flato, founding principal of San Antonio’s acclaimed design firm Lake Flato, finds inspiration for his firm’s impressive commercial and residential structures from the sites of the projects he undertakes. Here, he shares what his clients are looking for when crafting their high-end homes.

Sustainability: Energy conservation has gotten cool, and our clients are expressing a great deal of enthusiasm for locally sourced materials and craft. We’re now installing smart meters in all of our new builds so that we can monitor the performance of the house for the first year and adjust accordingly.

Outdoor connection: More and more of our clients are expressing interest in homes that provide a strong indoor/ outdoor experience in both urban and rural settings. Not only does it provide extra square footage, which is especially useful for entertaining, but it’s a strong indicator that our appreciation for the environment keeps growing.

Natural materials: While natural materials such as stone, marble and granite are inherently gorgeous, design lovers are also starting to appreciate materials like concrete, which have been overlooked traditionally. So much energy goes into pouring a concrete floor and when you factor in how it’s then ground, you get a real feel for the artisans’ handiwork. It’s an art form. lakeflato.com

Crafting custom pieces of the highest quality available on today’s market, Grafton Furniture has become known for its versatility in style and dedication to quality. Led by President Steve Grafton, the firm’s services range from upholstery to case goods to imports.

Grafton’s design for IFDA Take A Seat is foundationally based on a design from The American Dream, his firm’s latest collection.

“I wanted to use this design because it is the perfect inspiration to create something for this cause,” Grafton says. “We want to give the children of KidSanctuary Campus the chance to achieve the same kind of success that the American dream embodies.”

HoneyBee Designz opened its showroom in December 2014 and offers interior design services, custom furniture, designer trade home accessories and other unique finds.

Inspired by a fulfilling childhood spent closely with her father—whom she credits with influencing the person she has become today—Torres’ design reflects the safe and enriching environment IFDA aims to provide to the children of KidSanctuary.

Peeples Rionda Interiors is a full-service design firm based in Miami and New York City, catering to a diverse international clientele.

Its focus is primarily on luxury lifestyle living, whether a main residence, pied-à-terre or vacation home. Robert Rionda, the principal of the firm, designs with a classic yet eclectic and versatile approach to create interiors that are tailored to individual tastes and needs.

Whether traditional or contemporary, Rionda interprets the client’s vision in a manner that is unified, timeless and comfortable. Collaborating with KidSanctuary on Take A Seat has not only inspired Rionda and his team to raise money for a significant cause but also creatively influenced further furnishing endeavors.

“Most importantly, I am now familiar with the incredible services provided by KidSanctuary,” the designer says. “On a professional level, the event has inspired me to design a small indooroutdoor seating collection.”

This chair reflects my preference for classic designs that are equally fit for modern or traditional interiors.

My clients! Each of our projects is client specific, and we are not wedded to a particular style, so I decided to design a chair inspired by the concept that “opposites attract,” and produce a design with broad appeal.

Fabric technology has come a long way in simulating traditionally indoor textures. For the Rio chair we used Perennials, one of my go-tos for stylish and versatile indoor-outdoor fabrics and trims.

Designed by Intel A+E, the open floor plan was transformed into a three-dimensional piece of art. “Form does follow function in great architecture,” says architect Ronald Rickert. At Intel, no product is trustworthy until its performance has been verified through real-world application. Green initiatives, such as R22 walls and roofing made of solid concrete, serve as strong and efficient ways to protect against hurricanes, humidity and heat.

For this project, Intel created a system that catches and stores rainwater, which can then be used during drought to fill the pool, irrigate or wash the car and boat, thus conserving water. Intel A+E also designed a solar power system for this home.

Making power from the sun and storing it in a Tesla Powerwall, the system acts as the home’s quiet, fuel-free, backup generator. “Green design is here to stay and clients are seeing and living the difference,” he says.

An open floor plan allows for an expansive living and kitchen area that looks out onto the pool.

This Fort Lauderdale home exemplifies the use of energy-efficient building, which saves owners up to 70 percent in annual energy costs and uses 30 to 40 percent less AC than conventional CMU homes. The system used for this project features ICF construction, a wall system that includes the use of green materials to increase building durability, reduce waste and allergens and resist mold. Phillip Thomas, a custom builder since 1985, explains what really brought this home to life were the key elements. “Natural lighting, a creative entertainment patio area and a custom pool etched with a tropical landscape theme all maximized the use of the site and brought the whole design together,” he says.

esigner Jackie Armour’s vision for what she considered her dream project began long before a New York-based couple recruited her to turn the home into their family’s South Florida retreat. “I’d visited the house with previous clients and immediately saw the potential and fell in love with it,” she shares; but those clients fortuitously passed on the residence. When the new owners, to whom Armour had been referred by mutual friends, asked her to meet them at the house, the address didn’t ring a bell. “I almost fell over when I pulled up,” she says. “It was serendipity.”

Set on a point with 270-degree lake views, the home was modern yet refined, with pale gray natural stucco walls and subtle architectural details reminiscent of a European villa, such as French windows and doors and arched passageways. Lush bougainvillea flowed around outdoor patios and added colorful contrast to natural grasses and swaying palms. “It was very understated from the curb,” Armour notes. “But once you walked in, it was magical.”

The magic stemmed from the efforts of the home’s original owners, who built it as a legacy house for their extended family to enjoy. “They had wonderful art and antiques and had traveled the world,” says Armour. “And they articulated that into the bones of the home: the antique French oak floors, wood beams in the kitchen and rustic wood doors. We were very mindful of keeping that character intact.”

But first things first. The main living spaces were compartmentalized, and though true to the architectural style, they inhibited the flowing lifestyle the owners were hoping for. Armour’s solution involved the efforts of builder Edward Knight and his trusted team of subcontractors.

“Working with the home’s original structure, Jackie’s idea was to open the kitchen, which was partitioned off, into the family room and formal living room,” he explains.

“We removed a large portion of a wall, which had bookcases and cabinets, reconstructed the space and added pass-throughs for better flow.” Architect Mitchell O’Neil served as architect of record for these changes as well as plans for reorganizing the bedroom wing.

Infusing a bit more of a Florida feel came next. “The owners also have a more formal house in New York with a center hall and a lot of heavier, darker furnishings,” says Armour. “They wanted this house to be light, bright and airy with a soft palette, so that you could walk in and appreciate the look and furnishings but still have your eye carry outward to the lake.”

Aiming for a sophisticated but modern feel in the kitchen, Armour gave a new, bright-white finish to the original dark cabinetry and specified quartz countertops and a Carrara marble backsplash. A central island was finished in pale taupe to stand out, and a stainless-steel-and-glass breakfast table and acrylic chairs were added for fun contrast and

to keep the space from feeling too serious. “I wanted to throw in something totally unexpected,” says the designer.

Through a double-sided, semi-open cabinet system inset with antique mirrors, a view to the dining room (and beyond that, the pool) was exposed.

Continuing the muted color scheme to the living room, which had previously been painted orange, Armour designed a semiformal gathering area oriented around a fireplace and flooded with natural light. A light cream sofa and chair combo, as well as a tufted ottoman, pair beautifully with the home’s original decorative European chandelier and sconces.

The master bedroom, however, was transformed into a place apart. “It opens to a terrace area overlooking the lake,” says Armour. “When you’re there, it doesn’t feel like you’re in Florida. The architecture, the shutters—it all just transports you somewhere else.” Formerly bright yellow, the now crisp, clean space also features the same

meticulously textured plaster walls found throughout the rest of the house. “We kept with the same design from the original home,” says Knight. “Maintaining and continuing what was already there can be equally as challenging as starting anew.”

Though it carries the same bright, airy aesthetic as the other spaces, the master bathroom is still a bit of a departure because, here, the tile, plumbing and flooring were all redone. New vanities, similar in design to the kitchen cabinetry, were installed, only this time with furniture-style legs. The old-fashioned drop-in tub was replaced with a freestanding Kohler beauty—its step-up platform removed to open circulation in the space and encourage connection to the outdoors.

PB_LX4_Mattson_282-297.indd 296

Reflecting on the scope of the project, it’s clear that its success was as much about maintaining the integrity of the home’s past as enabling its future. “The house was a unique design in its own right,” says Knight. “With high-end renovations like this, the whole goal is to never let there be the impression that this used to be one thing and now it’s something else, but rather to make the whole project feel seamless.” And their efforts were not in vain. “The clients loved the house so much from the beginning and had such an emotional connection with it,” says Armour. “When they come down here from their busy, hectic life in New York, they walk in and say ‘this is fabulous Florida living.’ And now it’s their legacy house, too. A nice complete circle.”

ith passion as the seed of purpose, Barbara Stella’s work has blossomed into a vibrant canvas of historic significance, timeless beauty and future promise. In a career that began in Europe and crossed the sea to West Palm Beach, the fine art conservator has restored the works of Rembrandt, Veronese and Kiefer, to name just a few, and established a reputation for the unsavable save.

Stella speaks of her work not as a job but as a mission—one that literally has roots in a little girl’s coloring book and what she calls an innate ability “to see art with a deep consciousness.” As she grew up, Stella studied in Italian cities Ravenna and Florence, places that surrounded her with treasures everywhere she went. “I loved walking in the city with my sketchbook,” she says. “The beautiful architecture, mosaics, sculptures and paintings— I started to feel the ancient, to recognize the precious message that an old masterpiece was bringing to us after all those years.”

An ocean away from where she began, the thrill of discovery still feeds Stella’s soul, from the art collections that have made their way to her laboratory to her exploration of nearby Floridian

PB_LX4_Stella_298-301.indd 300

towns with her husband and two boys. The drive to continue her journey comes not only from the discoveries within past preservations but in the possibilities hiding within each new piece that is brought to Stella’s careful hands. Her restorations thus far have included a collection from the Bahamas that suffered severe damage in a fire, paintings distressed by aggressive cleaning or incorrect previous restorations, and a 7-by-12-foot painting wrecked by wartime bombing that was brought to Stella folded like a blanket. The stories, the characters, the artists and the circumstances of each piece play into her understanding of what might lie in wait beneath the surface and can reveal even more than expected. One of her favorite examples: an oil-on-wood painting, suspected by its owner to be from the late 19th century, whose cleaning and restoration actually uncovered a circa-1500s painting beneath its layers.

This ongoing mission is one Stella views as both duty and gift—a unique opportunity to at once serve as a guardian of history and beauty.

“There is a feeling of honor that I’m being trusted with great artists’ works,” she says, “and a responsibility to generations ahead to learn from the masters who created them.”

Under the auspices of Stella Art Conservation, Barbara Stella restores old artworks to their former glory. Before beginning, she examines each piece using ultraviolet reflective light, microscopes, and X-rays. Shown on the previous pages are projects awaiting her attention, including William King’s elongated sculptures, 19th-century pastel cherubs, and an oversize Paul Jenkins abstract, circa 1969.

lthough homeowner Carol Cohen has lived in a variety of high-end residences throughout New York and Florida, including the renowned Two Swans Farm in Wellington with its extensive equestrian stables, none of them has felt truly like a home until it has been “Vance-ified,” as she calls it: envisioned from top to bottom by longtime friend and collaborator Vance Burke. She initially met and worked with the Los Angeles-based designer nearly 20 years (and about five projects) ago, and “from that first project to this one, we have just clicked,” she says. “You know when somebody’s really original. That’s Vance for me.”

After her husband’s passing, Cohen was ready to downsize but not to walk away from a lifetime of collecting art and furniture or from her love of all things equestrian.

So she decided to relocate with her teenage daughter, Rebecca, to the Palm Beach Polo Golf and Country Club, also in Wellington, in order to stay near her horses. A contemporary house built in the 1990s, with its high ceilings and alluring pool, stood out to her among the Tuscan and Spanish-looking architecture, and Burke’s firm went to work to bring the interiors into the 21st century.

“Carol and I have a certain kind of shorthand, having worked together for so long,” Burke says. “What’s unique about the relationship is every single time it’s a completely different look in a different location.”

While an array of larger windows and skylights were added to the house to bring in natural light, Cohen and Burke set about selecting furniture and art from her collection. Cohen had saved her belongings from the larger homes and rented a warehouse where everything could be unpacked so that she and Burke could wander through, almost like a personal museum. Although Cohen said she now leans toward contemporary design, she and Burke chose for her new home modern furnishings as well as classic pieces by French furniture designers such as Jean Royere and Felix Agostini. Also added to the mix were a selection of artworks by such masters as Alexander Calder and Claes Oldenburg, and antiquities from China, Egypt and Italy. “When we started editing down, we were able to plug in pieces that not only fit physically but also create a collection that tells a story about her past and is cohesive at the same time,” Burke says. “Yes, it’s eclectic, but there’s an evolution of her sensibility and mine.”

Despite the furniture and art’s pedigree, or perhaps in part because of it, the intent was to create a series of intimate, casual spaces for gathering, no matter the situation. “We deflated the formality,” Burke explains.

“There’s no sense of trying to create something that is 304 / LUXE INTERIORS + DESIGN

formal and informal. Realistically, everyone wants to feel good whether they’re wearing jeans and by themselves or having a cocktail party with many guests.” Bold textures and colors give the house a subtle sense of youthful exuberance.

The first challenge was how to configure an L-shaped living room, which Burke and co-designer Todd Peter made into a number of different seating areas. Near the kitchen and the floor-to-ceiling glass terrace doors, for instance, a quartet of burnt orange Burke-designed custom chairs wraps a custom coffee table upholstered in white cowhide that can double as extra seating. In an adjacent sitting area, a sofa reupholstered in a boldly patterned fabric sits beside a 1929 Steinway & Sons grand piano with a pair of custom-designed club chairs.

At the same time, the designers unified these seating areas, as well as the combined and open living, kitchen and dining areas, with modern elements, seen in strikingly angular chandeliers, and with textures. “We like to create

a vocabulary of materials and use it throughout the house in different ways,” Burke explains. “I find it creates a sense of environment.” Distressed white-oak floors from before the redesign were retained and paired with darker kitchen cabinetry in a similar wire-brushed treatment, and the nearby fireplace was clad in chiseled limestone.

In the master bedroom, “Carol really wanted a touch of color and softness, which we achieved with a soft shade of celadon,” Peter says. “Overall it’s serene and restful.”

A custom bed and an Italian glass chandelier give way to a mirrored chest of drawers and a vintage desk attributed to Fornasetti.

“I call it my little jewel,” Cohen says of the house. “I’m as happy in this home as anywhere, and in many ways happier.

And people love it. You go in, and you’re transformed. That’s what Vance is able to do. The homes are really comfortable.

I can’t ever imagine doing a home without him. Once you’ve been Vance-ified, there’s no turning back.”

Burke’s design is also about textures, seen in the kitchen backsplash from Hagan Flynn in Los Angeles as well as the limestone fireplace. The kitchen countertops are by Caesarstone; the barstools are by A. Rudin and feature a custom wood finish and Edelman Leather hide. The stainless steel of the Sub-Zero refrigerator contrasts with the rift-cut white-oak cabinetry.

D “I LOVE TO SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PLACES I’VE BEEN, THE CHARACTERS I’VE MET AND THE GEMS THAT I’VE ENCOUNTERED.”

David A. Culpepper scours shipyards and fishing villages across the globe in search of nautical antiques he can repurpose for his West Palm Beach shop. He reconditions cargo lights (top left) that are taken off of 30-to-50-year-old ships, for instance, and collects salvaged helms (opposite) once they’ve been retired.

PB_LX4_Culpepper_314-317.indd 316

avid A. Culpepper, proprietor and procurer of Culpepper Nautical’s maritime antiques empire, has many a seaworthy story in the pursuit of forgotten relics. “A few years back I took a trip to Mumbai, where I visited a store I’d passed through many times,” he says. “This particular day, I happened to notice some goods on the floor. I stooped down, brushed off some dust and discovered deck prisms dating back to the 1800s.” Before portholes, they had been used as a source of natural light on ships and are one of many in a long list of successful finds for Culpepper. “I bought all six, kept one and sold the rest,” he adds.

A retiree with a profound love for the sea, Culpepper, a former boatswain’s mate in the U.S. Coast Guard and manufacturer of knife handles, says his path was set the day he missed out on a pair of decommissioned lights sold off his former Coast Guard ship. “This definitely planted the seed for wanting to acquire as much as I could find,” he says. Be it a harpoon cannon from the storied vessel Barba Negra, a lignum vitae deadeye from a 16th-century ship that sank off of Palm Beach, or a 4-pull telescope from the 1700s with the owner’s name engraved on it, Culpepper’s pursuit spans the globe, from his own backyard in South Florida to Asia, the South Pacific and the Indian Ocean. “I love to share the knowledge of the places I’ve been, the characters I’ve met and the gems that I’ve encountered,” he explains. In fact, a recent trip to the Indonesian island of Java unearthed a plethora of old wooden dock carts that sold out right away.

Culpepper, who ships home roughly 10-to-15 40-foot containers a year, had his eye on West Palm Beach for a while. “I love the tropics. If a coconut tree doesn’t grow there, then I don’t belong,” he says. Interior designers, production houses, resorts, theme parks and restaurants are only a few of many who benefit from his mission—to translate the visions of his clients and fellow nautical enthusiasts through his maritime treasures. “It’s a quest,” he says of his explorations. “A learning, rewarding quest. You don’t exactly know what you’re looking for, but you do know that it has to be interesting.”

implicity is often the key to good design, and that certainly is true of this refreshing riverfront residence. The streamlined stucco façade, with its matching white concrete tile roof, set off by palm trees, tropical climbers and textural shrubs, flows seamlessly into airy interiors basking in natural light from generous mullioned windows and doors. The classically modern architecture provides a clean canvas that caters to the owners’ love of art, antiques, music, books and plants, as well as their desire to maximize on-site views of the Indian River Lagoon. “The wife is very artistic,” says designer Ashley Olivia Waddell, who with her sister, Courtney O’Bryan Whatley, fashioned interiors with materials that are honest and furnishings that spell comfort. “A very eclectic art collection was gathered from galleries, Europe, some of her own paintings and framed children’s art.”

The design team’s challenge: Take the familiar, hit the refresh button, and mix it up with modern pieces that allow everything to breathe in an essentially open plan that embraces living, dining and kitchen areas. “They wanted a style that was minimal yet traditional at the same time,” says architect Peter D. Moor of the couple, empty nesters with two grown sons. “The architecture responds to some features of the climate, as well—hip roofs, good to deflect the wind, and storm shutters mounted on poured-concrete sills. It’s mostly a concrete shell, with not much wood trim, and has large industrial steel sash windows with divided mullions. But it also features a bit of swag that cement allows, like flaring.”

Working with project architect Austin Dingwall and builder Phil Barth helped Moor achieve what he set out to do.

Having collaborated on remodels with the designers and architect in the past, the couple wanted to rethink the from-scratch floor plan for this new build, and they realized how little space they actually needed. “They felt they could live in one room with space and light,” says

“They wanted a style that was minimal yet traditional at the same time.”

-PETER D. MOOR

PB_LX4_Waddell_318-329.indd 320

Moor, “enjoying their art while eating, watching television, or sitting by the fire in a communal space that didn’t need to be formal.” Therefore, the core living space is compact— linked to a master suite, garage and laundry room by a foyer/gallery and separated by a breezeway from the office, library (actually an acoustically isolated piano room with a giant heavy door wide enough to wheel the piano into the larger space for entertaining) and guest bedrooms above.

A focal point of slatted whitewashed white oak anchors a wall in the living area on one side and kitchen cabinetry on the other; plus, easy-maintenance stained-concrete flooring lends a relaxed attitude. Wanting the house to look collected, not decorated, the designers had a sofa from the previous home reupholstered in a breezy white linen, slipcovered-style, to complement a pair of new cozy swivel chairs in the main living area; golden accents, seen in gilded sconces and gold frames, add sheen and warm energy. New light fixtures are modern, sometimes playful.

And buttery yellow pillows and a like-minded rug inject welcome color splashes. “But so nothing gets too glaring or precious, we added greens and grays to calm,” Waddell says. A custom tufted velvet ottoman in a pale aqua, for example, dresses up the room, while a weathered French gray coffee table offers a quiet, streamlined counterpoint.

The luxury of multiple views inspired an outside-in conversation. “The wife’s dream house needed to have windows everywhere,” says Whatley. “The river is the main event, so furnishings are not overpowering.” Two sets of windows open to courtyards, and “they themselves become paintings,” Moor says. “There probably are two schools of thought about bringing nature into your house. One is to line a house with plantings; the other is to take fragments of building and wrap around fragments of nature—the transition zone is where the two are talking.

Courtyards are such a great way to do that.”

One of these courtyards is an L-shaped garden that wraps around the entry/gallery and master bedroom almost like an atrium, says Sam Comer, who designed the landscape in collaboration with Moor. “Plantings are sculptural, more artistic: Christmas palms in staggered heights, with a mix of gravel and shell as ground cover, cardboard palm plants, bougainvillea and fragrant confederate jasmine. I like to keep it simple—plant palettes painted with a relatively broad brush.” Nature appears in the interiors, as well, with the only pattern stemming from artwork and fabrics in watercolor florals and abstract prints. And the design concept is fluid.

On a gallery wall in the dining area, “we left her space,” says Waddell, “so if she purchases more art, it can move up and wrap over the entry.”

A his-and-hers master bath, with a shower in the middle, reinforces the wife’s desire for simplicity. “The shower is made of stucco, no joints,” says Moor. “Cabinetry is made of painted white planks, with crema marfil countertops and four big pieces of marble on the floor. She doesn’t like when design gets fussy.” And with a whisper of luxury, the team accomplished just that. “It’s not stuffy; it’s inviting,” says Whatley. “Your home is your sanctuary. It’s where you unwind. You want it to be peaceful and happy.”

A breezeway separates the main home from the wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studio and a library, as well as guest bedrooms on the second level. Bougainvillea adds a pop of color and softens the edges of the entry, topped by a trellised roof that reduces the glare of sun. The view through two sets of doorways and beyond the pool area is to the Indian River Lagoon.
