SWEDISH TREE RUG
This Swedish pictorial rug, possibly unique, measuring 4 feet 1 inch by 4 feet 10 inches, was made in 1972 and bears the woven signature of Marianne Richter (1916-2010), an innovator who worked as a textile designer for Marta Maas Fjetterstron (MMF) at her workshop in Bastad, Sweden. Both MMF and MR have the most prestigious reputations within a core group of Scandinavian textile designers. A charming rug.

ANTENNAE UP!
I’ve always felt that summer is the season when creative pursuits are ripest to blossom. It may seem counterintuitive that at a time of year when the pace slackens, a colliding of ideas would swell. Yet, it’s precisely the mind-wandering lazy days of summer, when many of us are traveling to far-flung destinations or simply puttering around in the garden on a “Summer Friday,” that the path to inspiration clears. An aha moment can lead you anywhere— hopefully, on a journey of new surroundings and experiences: from a fresh coat of paint on your living room walls to an impromptu dinner party under the stars. Creativity is a spark, best ignited with a large dose of passion, a slice of relaxation and a bit of imagination. This summer, be open to what’s new and refreshing. Hover through these days with your antennae up… sense what is possible. Let this issue, dedicated to exploring international design, be the trigger that kicks it all off.

Global Designer Collaborations that Re-imagine the Bath Space How one feels at home, personal wellness and the enjoyment of well-living are qualities that resonate more than ever today with consumers and have become must-have requirements for architects and designers when creating residential projects. As the place where the daily ritual begins and ends, the bathroom environment needs to evolve to reflect these desires. Progressive brands are thinking “outside the bath” and saying goodbye to mundane bath layouts, typical fixtures and homogenized accessories. As companies look to set themselves apart from the pack, more are reinventing the bath space by infusing it with highend European architecture and design. Rather than stick to their normal team of designers, these companies are seeking out talent known for their work in other fields to create products unlike any seen before. These revelatory collaborations tap into the designers’ unique perspectives, resulting in visionary products that go beyond the typical bathroom fare – and capture the creative spirit of imagination, innovation and art with a refined European edge. Ronbow® is one of these companies creating a difference in bath design. The new Signature Series by Ronbow features over 200 new products and 11 new collections of globally trendsetting bathroom products by nine of the world’s most distinguished artists and designers from six European countries. Known for their contributions to iconic brands such as Nike, Adidas, Vuitton, Audi, Apple and a firm recognized for several exotic Italian automobiles, these designers – each with their own unique sensibility – entrusted their prestigious reputations to Ronbow because of their ability to deliver on their requirements and ideas with innovation, great design and outstanding quality. By working with designers who may see the bathroom space and application in a different way than typical, Ronbow has created next-generation bathroom furniture and complete suites integrating a creative edge, convenient and smart innovations such as LED touch-sensitive mirrors, USB ports and plug outlets, refined accessories and unique material combinations.
VENTO - PININFARINA A 360° design house of international repute and a world-renowned symbol of Italian style, Pininfarina is arguably the most recognized brand in Italian sports car design and has designed in a multitude of other fields. The VENTO collection by Ronbow translates the Pininfarina identity into a variety of versatile and functional bathroom pieces for the design-minded consumer. The VENTO collection, or “wind” collection in Italian, emphasizes an elegant, sleek and innovative sinktop design inspired by perfectly smooth snowdrifts carved by fast, strong winds. Unmistakably, the designer’s mastery of Italian grace, sex appeal and flair are all conveyed in the sinktop.
WATERSPACE - JOAN LAO Based in Barcelona, Spain, Joan Lao is an international design icon recognized for his work in product, interior and architectural design. Since opening his design studio in 1985, he has participated in more than 3,000 interior design projects for clients who appreciate his unique design stamp across furniture, lamps and objects – one of balance and peace. Symbolizing soothing, flowing water, the WATERSPACE collection integrates natural tones, undulating textured wood finishes and a curved design theme for a complete sense of balance and tranquility.

PEBBLE - ORA ITO Ora Ito became globally famous in the ’90s by hijacking symbolic brands such as Apple and NIKE and presenting them with virtual visionary 3D products via media. He is ranked among the top 40 most influential people in the world of design and has collaborated with clients including Heineken, Toyota, Adidas and Pathé, to produce award-winning designs. Inspired by pebbles on the seashore, the PEBBLE collection represents Ito’s idea of “Simplexity” – art to give an object with complex functions a visible simplicity. The glossy white wood finish acts as a canvas to best showcase the unique, organic, “pebble-like” shapes and curves, bringing natural elegance and harmony to the contemporary bath.
Thanks to these visionary designer pairings, Ronbow has recontextualized a new world beyond the bath.
NOCE - MATTEO THUN Designed by revered Italian architect and designer Matteo Thun, who is well-known for his design work with Swatch, and Antonio Rodriquez, the NOCE collection was born to combine urban and contemporary classic styles. The NOCE collection is reminiscent of iconic 1960s vintage style with a modern, functional twist, including LEDs and integrated electrical outlets and USB ports. The suite includes mid-century modern inspired vanities along with optional hutches and more – resulting in a space that is compact but comfortable.
WIDE - PHOENIX DESIGN Phoenix Design is regarded as the leading independent studio worldwide for product and interface design, with clients including Audi, Duravit, Hansgrohe, Samsung and ZEISS. Recognized for its revolutionary design achievements, Phoenix Design has received more than 700 design awards since its foundation in 1987 and has collaborated with Ronbow for two new collections. Named for its vertically “stacked,” asymmetrical appearance, the STACK collection is built from layers of contrasting materials, colors, shapes and orientations – creating a unique, multi-functional living space. Inspired by Bauhaus design theory and style, the WIDE collection celebrates the elegance of pure, clean design and harmonious color combinations.

Welcome to the July/August issue of Luxe Interiors + Design Arizona, which celebrates the destinations, influences and international tastemakers who shape luxury design. This season, we attended many events. At Ferguson’s Art & Design Inspiration event, designer Judd Lord shared the impetus behind some of Delta’s most successful product lines. Plus, Modern Group and Fox Blocks’ ICF expert gave a construction tour of Cullum Homes’ The Village at Mountain Shadows community in Paradise Valley, designed by Candelaria Design Associates. Luxe also partnered with John Brooks Incorporated for its Desert Design Days at the Scottsdale Design District, which included a day of discussions and a cocktail reception with live music by Vinyl Station. Then, we enjoyed a happy hour with Milgard and R&K Building Supplies and leading builders, architects and designers at the W Scottsdale. We also joined Baker Hesseldenz for its 10-year anniversary and unveiling of its new furniture collection. Other noteworthy events included the rebranding of Dana Lyon’s new design firm, The Refined Group; a preview of Tabarka Studio’s latest collection; and Studio 3125’s grand opening. Enjoy!

CONTRIBUTORS
BEHIND THE SCENES GET TO KNOW A FEW OF OUR CONTRIBUTORS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS THEY TALK ALL THINGS DESIGN. PRODUCED BY SARAH RAMIREZ
LAURE JOLIET
Photographer / Los Angeles
KIMBERLY OLSON Writer / San Francisco
Most memorable interview: I interviewed a couple who were high school sweethearts and had just built their Miami dream home. The design team created a space that was such a reflection of them, incorporating elements that evoked both their world travels and an indoor-outdoor feel, as well as adding a sound system for parties. The husband even designed some first-of-theirkind, remote-controlled gas lanterns, which are now on the market—a true passion project. What’s your design style? I like classic pieces with a sense of history, but I also appreciate clean lines without too much fussiness—and I’m definitely not someone to shy away from color. I have a tufted-velvet sofa in a lovely lime green. No regrets! Prized possessions: A gorgeous Tiffany-style stained glass lamp that my father made for me and an old doll that belonged to my grandmother, which my parents had restored as a birthday gift. I’d include my cat, Ariel, but she rules the roost, so she might object to being called a possession.
CYNTHIA LYNN Photographer / Chicago What type of design inspires you? I’m really fascinated with late19th-century architecture. However, my own personal taste is very modern. I just love when architects and designers marry the two. For example, when they choose to keep the façade of existing structures but completely modernize the living space, I think that’s just fantastic! Most interesting person you’ve ever met: My husband and I went truffle hunting in Alba, Italy, and met a truffle hunter and his dog, Gigi. He was absolutely fascinating—from the way he interacted with the dog to the history he upheld for the art of truffle hunting. It was as if he were a character written for a book. He also spoke very little English, so his enchanting personality transcended language barriers. It was one of my fondest memories, and I’m so grateful we were able to meet him. If I weren’t a photographer, I would… Run an animal rescue and rehabilitation center. I’m a huge animal person and have such a soft spot for dogs. I do what I can now by fostering, but I would love to do more someday.
JENNIFER SERGENT Writer / Washington, D.C. What do you find most enjoyable about design? I like that it’s so personal, like music. Designers can take the same fabrics and furniture (as musicians do with the same notes and scales) and combine them in limitless ways to express a point of view or mood. I see interior design as transformative for the psyche even more than for aesthetics. Prized possession: A chest my husband commissioned designer and furniture maker Caleb Woodard to make for me. The carved wood on the doors resembles woven ribbons. If money were no object, I would buy… A beach house in Fenwick Island, Delaware. I’ve vacationed there with my family since I was little, and it would be great to own something there.

Favorite Luxe shoot: A penthouse in San Francisco I photographed that had views of the Transamerica building, through the dining room window, and the Golden Gate Bridge, out the living room windows. It was great! What’s intriguing you now in the world of design? I like that there’s so much room these days for innovation and experimentation. The Internet has democratized a lot of the design world, so small firms making thoughtful pieces can thrive alongside huge companies. Most fascinating person you’ve ever met: I sat next to an army doctor on a flight out of Boise who was on his way to Liberia to head up Ebola treatment centers at the peak of the epidemic. He had so much life experience, compassion and courage, as well as epic patience, as I peppered him with questions for two hours. Top three things on your design wish list: I would love to own a heated outdoor bench from Galanter & Jones for chilly California evenings, artwork by Lauren Spencer King, and a custom quilt from Counterpane.

DRAWN TO SCALE
THE CREATIVE FORCE BEHIND THE BELOVED OUTDOOR FURNITURE BRAND JANUS ET CIE, JANICE FELDMAN DESIGNS HER OWN LEGACY THANKS TO A COUPLE OF MUCH-BUZZED-ABOUT NEW PARTNERSHIPS.
Share your recent decision to join Haworth and the Poltrona Frau Group. Well, it’s been a journey, but I wanted very much to ensure the future of my business: that when I’ve retired, to that great drawing board in the sky, my life’s work will be cared for and regarded with admiration and respect, and that I’ll have created a good, safe place for the people who have helped me get to where I am. Poltrona Frau is a great bastion of luxury furniture, and they’re super-respectful of the autonomy of their individual brands, so I feel honored to be the little sister of their group. They’re going to help us grow globally much quicker than I could have as a standalone company.
Is there anything you’ll miss about going at it alone? Truly, I was never really “alone.” When I was a little girl, my mother always said, “You can do anything.” I’ve lived with that in my head and heart, and she helped and encouraged me every step of the way. The best part about being independent for so long was that I got to prove my mother right. I’ve always made decisions based on my own feelings and my own definitions of what’s good or bad, so it might be challenging at first to be more collaborative and sensitive to other people’s visions, but Dario Rinero, Poltrona’s CEO, is a wonderful leader, and I’m confident we have a lot to learn from each other.

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA
What led you to tap Piero Lissoni to design an upcoming collection for Janus et Cie? I’ve been tracking him for a long time, and I just think everything he does is beautiful. He’s also a total character. Every time I look at Piero, I’m struck by his physicality: I want to draw him. He’s got this long, linear, Giacometti thing happening, and it’s in his drawings and product design, too. I trust the collection will be something very special and that it will be refined and long-lived—something where, 20 or 50 years from now, people will still say they want to buy pieces from the collaboration. How do you keep your creative mojo alive and well? I love to sketch. It helps me think—to take things out of my head and put them down on paper. I started drawing at a very young age, and I was hooked the moment I took my first art class. The instructor made us look at the model and draw without referencing the paper in front of us at all. It was kind of amazing to let your brain communicate directly with your fingers and the pen and to not be burdened by having to check in on yourself. It stuck with me. Today, I often keep a journal or a notepad when I travel; sometimes, I jot down ideas, and other times, I’ll paint a portrait or a chair—anything really. I’m extremely visual, and I edit the world in my own way every day.

GUIDE & SEEK
ANTIQUING IS ALL ABOUT THE THRILL OF THE HUNT, UNEARTHING DÉCOR RICHES THAT TAKE INTERIORS TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH PROVENANCE.
Antique neophytes and aficionados alike know that when it comes to seeking period pieces in Europe, the legendary Paris Flea Market is a beacon of uncovered treasures that is not to be missed. In any given direction of the décor haven, though, there is a bevy of insider-caliber antiques dealers and emporiums silently beckoning from the far corners of southern England, Holland, northern France and Belgium, where private residences (such as Axel Vervoordt’s storied castle) open their doors to welcome guests, by-appointment only, on the hunt for uncommon goods. Here, a collection of antique garden gnomes and neo-Gothic cathedral ceilings are as fair game as British Colonial case goods and Louis-era anything. What was once a sport for design-loving history buffs, and, let’s face it, your grandmother, is now much further reaching. “Antiques are being used more overall, but less in abundance,” notes Toma Clark Haines, CEO and founder of The Antiques Diva & Co., Europe’s largest network of antiques buying tours. “More people are seeking something authentic that their neighbor doesn’t have, including the younger generation. They are looking for experiences as unique as they are and want their homes to tell those stories through key pieces.” Haines, an American expat whose home base is in Berlin, offers a crucial piece of advice no matter how obscure or conventional your purchasing pursuits: “Buy with your heart. You may not know the difference between Louis XV and Louis XVI, but if you buy what you love, you can always learn about it later.” Taking her cue, we invite you to explore our robust list of must-shop European dealers and locales—we dare you to leave empty-handed.
Lorfords Antiques in Tetbury, England, houses 45 dealers in two repurposed World World II aircraft hangars.

RADAR / TROVE
Lorfords Antiques Tetbury, England
Reason to go: For argument’s sake, Lorfords Antiques in Tetbury, England, has the best inventory in all of the U.K. and Europe. According to Haines: “It’s like you’ve taken the Paris Flea Market and picked out the top 10 percent of its decorative items and put them in one unexpected location.” What you’ll find: Owners Toby Lorford and Lesley Ferguson converted two World War II-era aircraft hangars, which currently house the wares of 45 dealers. It’s truly a one-stop shop where time seems to stand still (though quickly ticks away) while visitors scour every alcove and leave feeling like family. Their selection runs the gamut, including standouts like a signed 18th-century Swedish Rococo tragsoffa, late 18th-century French limestone wellhead and a pair of circa-1970s Ingo Maurer spring lamps.
Paul De Grande Snellegem, Belgium
Reason to go: Paul De Grande’s personal collection of over 10,000 antiques is reason enough to make a stop in Snellegem, Belgium. The pieces are effortlessly on display in his own home: a glorious property that greets you with marble sculptures and bronze busts set atop fluted pedestals. Just when you think you’ve seen everything De Grande has to offer on the ground level of his castle, you descend into the basement to uncover a labyrinth of goods. What you’ll find: The discoveries are wide in range: Meandering through the castle unveils cast-iron lion and unicorn andirons from the 19th century mingling fluently with a decorative carousel duck poised beside an unusual 18th-century country French vaisselier, while inlaid Chinese chairs inset with marble plaques in the backrest join 17th-century Flemish tapestries and Dutch carved coconut flasks. And as if the options in De Grande’s residence weren’t sufficient, there are voluminous warehouses a quick car ride away with a dizzying assortment of 16th- to 19th-century cupboards, vitrines, commodes, bureaus and even a life-size patinated zinc camel.
Jean-Philippe Demeyer Knokke-Heist, Belgium Reason to go: Jean-Philippe Demeyer takes obvious chances with his antiques picks, but trust us, it’s all good. The spaces in his moatencircled castle, well, one is more lavish than the next, fashioned with a cocktail of textures,
Clockwise from top: Paul De Grande’s warehouse space is a trove of antique goods. A quiet moment at Bie Baert’s personal home. You’ll find elegant historical pieces next door to the beautiful JVR108 guesthouse in Antwerp. The personality-filled sitting room at Jean-Philippe Demeyer’s Belgian home.
colors and peculiarities that all add up to a somehow melodious visual feast. What you’ll find: It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly what will be available at Demeyer’s home on any given weekend, as the designer and antiques enthusiast buys whatever strikes his fancy. Nothing is off-limits, as Demeyer isn’t tied to any of the fantastic specimens he owns; in fact, he welcomes change, and observes pieces coming and going as an opportunity to hunt down more precious décor gems.
Bie Baert Brecht, Belgium
Reason to go: Sometimes, if you’re lucky, you’ll encounter a person and place that make you feel immediately at ease. Bie Baert is that person, and her charming cottage on the outskirts of Antwerp is that place. Like walking

Clockwise from far left: Collected vignettes like this one are plentiful at Monique Relander’s shoppable home. Anouk Beerents’ charming shop in Amsterdam features a bevy of gilded mirrors. Truly unique finds are around every corner at Espace Nord Ouest. An antique clock at Lorfords Antiques.
into an old friend’s home (coffee and tea at the ready), Baert’s magnetic personality and collection will welcome you into her eccentric world, where a pair of distressed wooden penguins and a gilded papier-mâché boot holding an umbrella will leave you wondering why you didn’t already own such quirky things. What you’ll find: Antique garden gnomes, an anatomical model of a worker bee and a menagerie of wooden lay figures somehow seem obvious, filling every nook and cranny of Baert’s home. Your resting place for an espresso and a chat, a 14-foot-long table, made out of one solid piece of oak, is where you survey your surroundings and unexpectedly spot two perfectly worn red-leather Cassina chairs and a cheery bird-adorned plaster chandelier by Jacques Darbaud, circa 1990.
JVR108
Antwerp, Belgium
Reason to go: Antiquing through Belgium could take a few days, and Philip Ver Hoeye and Frederick Aers’ luxury three-bedroom guesthouse in Antwerp is unquestionably an ultrachic place to rest. The best part? Most of the furnishings throughout the fully renovated historical mansion are for sale, as are all the finds next door at their dedicated antiques shop. What you’ll find: The lovely hosts of JVR108 recently acquired all the contents of Belgium’s famous Chateau Rozenhout, which means you can own an iconic piece from one of the great houses of Europe. Other offerings include keenly curated British, Italian, Swedish and Asian antiques that exemplify the couple’s exceptional tastes.
Monique Relander Schoten, Belgium
Reason to go: From the looks of Monique Relander’s home, “edit, edit, edit” is her mantra. An impeccable assortment of antique and vintage furnishings, lighting, tabletop and décor beckon you to roam through every room, taking in the crystal chandeliers, velvet scallop-edged settees, and oil works by Belgian artist Smaël Laurent. What you’ll find: Newly upholstered midcentury Italian armchairs, Swedish loungers and Louis XV-style caned dining chairs abound. A zebra-hide rug might lead your eye into another room where a marble-topped gueridon table with gilded swan adornments holds a Maison Charles pineapple lamp. A peek into her country kitchen, complete with a bifocals-wearing boar head holding guard above the fireplace, may reveal a medley of vintage fruit-shaped ice buckets.
Anouk Beerents Amsterdam, Netherlands
Reason to go: If you’re ever faced with the arduous choice of how to spend an afternoon in Amsterdam, we’re about to make it easy for you: Make a point to see Anouk Beerents’ inconceivably magical mirror shop. Ornate gilded mirror after mirror hung on movable tracks will leave you intoxicated and enamored, as if you walked through the looking glass itself into a wonderland. What you’ll find: Beerents specializes in 18th- and 19th-century French gilded
mirrors, specifically Louis XIV, Régence, Louis XV and Louis XVI, all of which she sources herself. To preserve authenticity, Beerents conservatively restores them with old-world techniques.
Espace Nord Ouest Bondues, France
Reason to go: Two hours north of Paris, Espace Nord Ouest is quickly becoming the European source for antiques dealers in the states that focus on decorative eccentricities, as well as major fashion retailers looking to outfit their stores with unique curiosities. What you’ll find: Seventeen professional dealers over nearly 13,000 square feet offer a downright cool assortment of 17th- to 20th-century pieces, such as industrial and shop furniture, garden décor, architectural salvage, classic French seating and case pieces, and vintage midcentury lighting and furnishings.

RADAR / COLLABORATION
A lavish robe shot through with silk. A vessel painstakingly engraved with precious metals. A portrait rendered in watercolor, ink and gold. The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s recent exhibition “Court and Cosmos: The Great Age of the Seljuqs” showcases the artistic splendor that flourished during the reign of the Seljuqs, whose rule stretched across Western Asia from the 11th through the 13th centuries. In conjunction with the show, the museum’s store is introducing a line of modern-day heirlooms—ranging from glass objects and jewelry to ceramics and limited-edition rugs— that celebrate the dynamic legacy of the period. “It was evident that the pattern and color inherent in the original art still influences and inspires makers today,” says Susan Noonan, the museum’s general manager of buying and merchandising.
WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY LISA BINGHAM DEWART
Among those tapped to create the new interpretations of these centuries-old designs was Barbara Barran of Classic Rug Collection in New York. “The colors are gorgeous, and I love the geometry,” Barran says of the region’s art. It wouldn’t be the first time Barran, who has traveled frequently to the Middle East, has transformed work from the area into carpets. “I’ve designed rugs based on Iznik tiles and translated them into 300-knot silk,” she notes. “The Seljuq pieces are from a slightly earlier time period, but there was something about them that was very familiar.” The source materials selected as a jumpingoff point for the rugs immediately resonated with Barran, easily informing her design direction. For example, after seeing the stone-paste mina’i bowl with an abstract pattern from some 900
years ago in the museum’s collection—which served as the foundation for the Mina’i Good Wishes rug (above)—Barran “knew it should be a wool flat weave because it needed to have the earthiness of the original bowl,” adding, “The colors were lovely and the repetition of the pattern had a gorgeous rhythm.” The other source—another mina’i piece featuring a zigzag pattern and gilding—suggested a more polished take. Offered in wool with silk accents, the Mina’i Zigzag rug hews closely to the spirit of its namesake but is imbued with a modern feel. While nearly a millennium separates Barran from the original creators, she still feels a sense of connection. “There’s a liveliness to the art from this period,” Barran explains. “You look at it and find yourself picturing the people who created it. To me, they’re not strangers.”

UPWARDLY MOBILE THE WORLD’S FOREMOST VENUE FOR LUXURY FURNISHINGS AND ACCESSORIES—SALONE DEL MOBILE—CAPTURES THE INHERENT COOL OF THE ITALIAN CITY THAT IT CALLS HOME.
Among Salone del Mobile’s many new introductions were (clockwise from top) Natuzzi’s Dorian line, Flou’s Softwing bed—an update on the company’s famous Nathalie—and Poltrona Frau’s Neri&Hu-designed mirror.
It is, as it turns out, nearly impossible to order an icy glass of water in Milan—room-temperature naturale being completely de rigueur; instead, the cosmopolitan Italian city concerns itself with a different kind of cool. Here, for one week each spring, its fashionable citizens (think plenty of black, linen, leather and painstakingly rolled-up jeans and cigarette pants) join an international conglomerate of visiting design aficionados, trading in their impossibly stylish heels and wingtips for sensible footwear all in the name of design as Salone del Mobile rolls into town. The floors of Salone, the world’s largest furnishings fair, which inhabits the sprawling halls of the Milano Congressi convention center designed by Mario Bellini, are meant to be thoroughly explored, pavement pounded—each corner of its nearly 600,000 square feet filled with furniture and accessories from the world’s preeminent creative minds. And while the talent hails from all over Europe and beyond, there’s a distinctly Italian flavor to the proceedings: a flair for the dramatic and a gravitas provided by the beautifully preserved centuries-old buildings that host the design events within the city, both in the showrooms of established Italian brands and in a bevy of what we affectionately referred to as “palazzo pop-ups” during our visit. Kohler’s showing of its new line of fixtures in collaboration with the French designer Jean-Louis Deniot, for example, takes place at the tony Palazzo Durini di Monza, a 17th-century mansion designed by the Baroque architect Francesco Maria Richini—a juxtaposition of modern chrome and porcelain against ancient stone and Renaissance art. In Bottega Veneta’s dedicated home boutique, too, the venerable fashion house-turned-luxury furniture brand pairs the sleek lines of its übermodern living, dining, office and bedroom

offerings with 18th-century frescoes by artists like Carlo Innocenzo Carlone and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. The result is startling but also, somehow, entirely inevitable thanks to the attention to detail that is paramount in Italian design. And it’s everywhere. For celebrated kitchen brands like Varenna by Poliform and Boffi, each cabinet front and drawer is a work of art—every element carefully veneered, laser-cut and dovetailed together like so many puzzle pieces. At Flou, a variety of new introductions are a pitch-perfect complement to the brand’s longtime bestsellers, like the Nathalie—arguably the industry’s first upholstered bed, designed by Vico Magistretti in 1978, which still looks utterly timeless with its tireless slipcovered reinventions. Longtime power players B&B Italia and Flexform, too, stay nimble by introducing covetable new pieces— like the Do-Maru armchair by Doshi Levien and a brand-new line of seating by Daniel Libeskind, respectively—to a roster of old favorites. On once-barren concrete plots in the middle of the convention center, each brand transforms its booth into a mini home away from home—each one different and dazzling but many embracing a rich, Italian minimalism as a common theme along with another unifier, this one a bit more material (literally): While structured Italian footwear is more or less on hiatus for the week, leather pervades everything else. It’s in the thick straps of the striking, buckled light pendants and impressive Neri&Hu-designed mirror and valet stand at Poltrona Frau; it’s used in a hundred different ways on the supple cushions of Natuzzi and Molteni&C’s many beautiful sofas and chairs; it’s inset into the ultimate desk for movers and shakers at Promemoria; and it’s woven and stitched with remarkable precision across a variety of Hermès home offerings. For all its eye candy and endless inspiration, the true beauty of Salone is in the escape it provides: Here, there are a multitude of worlds rapidly constructed, but with great care, that you can imagine yourself in, with thousands of new products with which to redesign the perfect room in your mind, and not a single person to pass judgment. They’re design lovers, after all, and they’re likely doing the exact same thing, and we’re happy to toast to that—the water may be warm, but the Prosecco is ice cold.

WHO: The well-culled Instagram feed of Phoenix-based creative studio Rille & Co. packs a serious punch of chic. Behind the lens is the brand’s owner and creative director Celine Rille. Notes of her own eclectic style, as seen in the occasional glimpses offered of her home, are pleasantly woven in throughout. WHAT: Eschewing the constant scroll of sunsets and food shots that crowd your home page, Rille captures informative imagery that collectively seems like a cool person’s guide to Phoenix. WHY: Expect to see a stylized mix of buzzy new hotspots and hard-to-find hidden gems, all made more intriguing thanks to muted tones and filters, and clever composition—Rille’s specialty. IN HER WORDS: “I used to think Phoenix was visually pretty bland, but the more time I spend here, the more I notice the little details: the architecture, the hues of the desert, the culture that is growing downtown. These things are what I love most about the city now, so I try to capture and share them as much as possible.”
MITCHELL GOLD + BOB WILLIAMS When did you open? Our Scottsdale location at 7014 E. Camelback Rd. opened in February 2016. Why Scottsdale? It’s a major metropolitan market with a lot of style. The city is very sophisticated, sort of the desert version of Miami’s South Beach, and we felt that people in the area would respond well to our aesthetic and unique style sense. Plus, Fashion Square is one of the most prestigious shopping destinations in the region. Describe the space. The store is expansive (11,000 square feet) and has tons of natural light. Huge windows are in the front with a large marquee visible from far away. The entrance of the store has a room with double-height ceilings, so it’s very dramatic and light. Can you call out some of its design elements? The space showcases our signature store design: soft white walls and moodier tones in areas that are generally toward the back of the store. It also features bright modular lighting, colored walls that act as room dividers, and personally created furniture settings. What are you most excited about? Being able to work with a whole new group of talented designers always thrills us, and in this case, introducing the Arizona design community to our brand is something to which we look forward. mgbwhome.com 116 / LUXESOURCE.COM
CHECK IN THE CAMBY HOTEL
Meet your new favorite hotel: The Camby. Situated in Phoenix’s Biltmore enclave, the property was just given a high-style refresh by New York-based Stonehill & Taylor. The redesign will include a new restaurant and two bars, as well as a boutique spa and fitness center. “Arizona has an abundance of beauty, which we showcase in the ideas and designs of The Camby,” says Michael Suomi, a principal at the firm, which is known for its chic hospitality endeavors. In this venture, Suomi referenced the “fi ve Cs” of the Grand Canyon State (cotton, citrus, climate, copper and cattle) to create an interior that’s mindful and witty. Rather than juxtaposing the traditional elements from the former structure with ultra-modern add-ons, the design team embraced these features, creating a sense of “refined revelry”—like in the lobby, where guests are greeted by necklace chandeliers dangling from the existing coffered ceiling. thecamby.com

DATE BOOK It’s safe to say Claire Seizovic knows a bit about Tucson. The New York City transplant currently holds five hyper-local— and super-cool—jobs in the area: She is the head of design and communications at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tucson; the assistant designer at graphic design studio Saywells Design Company; the digital design coordinator for the deliciously wanderlust-y Territory magazine; and creative director at Cultivate Tucson. But her main gig, she says, is as a “design and brand strategist for creatives and small business owners.” Helping emerging, artisan-minded businesses find their voices is more than a job for Seizovic; it’s a passion. “Tucson is such a growing and culturally vibrant city,” she says. So, it’s no surprise that Seizovic, along with fellow Tucson creative Kristin Tovar, saw an opportunity to harness the city’s rampant talent and provide young businesses with a platform for growth, exposure and collaboration. Together they formed Cultivate Tucson: a collective that creates pop-up events and markets to introduce makers and small-business owners in a face-to-face, collaborative— and often stylish—setting. “Our goal is to create a community gathering space and a festive celebration of all things Tucson,” says Seizovic. “We believe that authentic connections and relationships are essential for personal and community growth. It’s about collective empowerment, initiative and community.” Here, the multitalented creative shares her favorite maker-friendly haunts in Tucson. claire-seizovic.com 8:30 a.m. Stop for coffee at Exo Roast Co. for the most delicious pour-over in town. I’m a fan of the African coffees. Learn about coffee roasting, and hear about Exo’s relationships with regional Mexican coffee farms from Doug, one of the owners. 9 a.m. Make your way down to 5 Points Market & Restaurant for brunch. Stop by Bon Boutique afterward to peruse stationery from Shinola, goods by John Derian, and an array of Bolivian frazadas and beautifully wrapped mini cacti. 11 a.m. Drop by Le Cave’s Bakery if you’re up for a snack. Order the original glazed donut. Fun fact: It’s vegan! 11:30 a.m. Head over to Desert Vintage, my favorite place for curated vintage clothing. Chat with the owners Salima and Roberto if they’re around. 12:30 p.m. Grab lunch at Time Market. Order the kale salad with red peppers and the shiitake pizza. Take a raspberry hand pie for the road. 1:30 p.m. Go downtown for a quick trip to the Museum of Contemporary Art 118 / LUXESOURCE.COM
Tucson. The museum resides in Tucson’s old fire station and is the perfect backdrop for cutting-edge contemporary art. 2:30 p.m. Mission San Xavier del Bac is beautiful and only a quick 20-minute trip outside of town. Whenever I go, I feel transported to Europe, thanks to its Baroque interiors and striking, bright-white façade. 4 p.m. For happy hour, The Coronet has innovative and beautiful cocktails, and the most delicious MoroccanFrench snacks and desserts. 5 p.m. Stop by Mast to pick up locally made, refined and edgy wares by Mellow, Tasha and Sofie. It’s a great showing of support for local Tucson makers. 6 p.m. End your day with an alfresco dinner at Agustin Kitchen. I love its oysters and gnocchi. 7:30 p.m. After dinner, visit Tap & Bottle to choose from more than 20 craft beers and over seven wines on tap. Tap & Bottle is one of my absolute favorite places to unwind with friends after a long day.

Using a clever blend of materials and a brilliant palette of pale pinks and blues, fashion journalist-turned-hotelier Vanessa Scoffier takes a casual yet chic approach to traditional French design with Hotel Henriette. Located on a quintessentially European cobblestone street in the 13th Arrondissement, the hotel boasts ample boutique qualities and unexpected details. Here, we take our lead from the hotel’s private and public spaces— outfitted with plush, organic textiles and antique metalwork throughout—for a collection of items, like luxe linens from Cultiver in dreamy, subdued hues and a delicate brass bowl by Blackman Cruz, that capture the essence of cool thanks to a little je ne sais quoi.

Inspired by local island life and traditional Dominican Colonial architecture, interior designer Celerie Kemble collaborated with historic preservationist Elric Endersby to create the idyllic retreat of Playa Grande Beach Club. A blend of vintage and contemporary elements, this tropical oasis showcases a palette of vibrant hues paired with neutral tones of raw, natural materials. In a style akin to the hotel’s breezy and native design, Sebastian Herkner’s poolside rocking chair for Dedon—made of a solid-teak frame—uses organic elements in a similar way, with laid-back sophistication in mind. So kick back, relax and style your own seasonal seaside hideaway.

PARADISE FOUND SALA AYUTTHAYA: AYUTTHAYA, THAILAND
10
Renowned for its opulent temples and lavish sacred spaces, Thailand takes great pride in its legendary history of architecture and design. Located directly across from the Wat Phutthai Sawan temple, built in 1353 A.D. by the first monarch of the area, Sala Ayutthaya was conceived with both its namesake’s long architectural past in mind and a focus on reinvented minimalist Thai design. Visionaries Siriyot Chaiamnuay and Arisara Chaktranon of architectural firm Onion embraced a purist palette and pale pops of serene colors—not unlike Cle Tile’s Vintage Rose accents and Louise Gray’s Quilt No. 3. shown here—and commissioned local talent to help construct the tranquil refuge in the heart of this storied city.

At first sight: Christophe Delcourt’s piece is inspired by nature but executed in a distinctly modern way. France is all about beauty and tradition: The country has a vast design history that creatives, especially in the culinary and furniture worlds, must honor and interpret. But above all… You can always count on a French designer to revel in beauty. A statement piece… Stands out on its own, has a story and evokes conversation. To me, this entire piece reads as a sculpture: The table represents a great balance of form and function. It’s hard to achieve that balance, but you don’t get there without taking a risk. Lasting impression: Angular, dynamic, artistic, structural, modern.

DESIGNER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR SARAHSHERMANSAMUEL.COM
At first sight: I’m struck by Peca’s clever and restrained use of natural materials. It’s such an artful mélange of brass, stone and marble. The juxtapositions within the composition… Are alluring and calming all at once; the soft textiles of the background beautifully foil the natural, hard materials used for the tray and candleholders. I’d love to see… The candleholders reimagined as a giant abacus. When scouting product for my clients… These are the types of pieces I like to introduce. It’s so important to be aware of the artisanal hand behind the designs you bring into someone’s home. Boundaries in design… Exist to be pushed: No risk, no reward. Lasting impression: Balanced, sculptural, geometric, artful, bold.

And as a champion of color… I’m always encouraging my clients and readers to embrace hue in all forms, from soft shades to zingy brights. I’m drawn to Italian design… Because artists combine native craftsmanship with industrial processing techniques, manifesting in products that reflect inspirations across the world stage.

Mexico is home to some of the most incredible artisans: Metalwork is the country’s specialty, and the connection between the age-old technique and Rachel’s designs is very apparent. Nothing worth having comes easily: The best moments in design happen beyond our comfort zones. The simple silhouette of these tables takes on a whole new level of interest through the designer’s use of rough-hewn texture on the legs. The blush velvet hues and moody shadows of the composition read as lush and vibrant… And I am instantly transported to a beautiful courtyard in San Miguel de Allende.

It’s not as bold as one might think to compare fashion to decorative hardware. It enhances, adorns and beautifies while fulfilling utilitarian needs—and it is every bit subject to fads and design movements. Baldwin Hardware of Lake Forest, California, is a pioneer in the realm of hardware, crafting art-worthy, design-forward pieces that successfully defy trends. “We prefer to think of Baldwin as a fashion statement for the home: part of your design aesthetic,” says Baldwin Hardware Senior Brand Manager PJ Rosch. “Baldwin is couture for the door.” Celebrating its 70th year as an industry leader, Baldwin Hardware distinguishes itself from its contemporaries with an unwavering dedication to quality materials and design, not to mention seemingly infinite styles and finishes from which to choose. “We love creating inspirational design through the depth and breadth of our products and finishes,” Rosch says. Designers for the decorative hardware firm are embracing midcentury modern aesthetics and are also seeing a greater demand for black metals. “We are loving midcentury modern right now. It’s a great nod to the past, but with an updated style,” she says. “Also, black metals are all the rage now, but brass and warm, gold tones continue to gain popularity.”

DACOR
Q+A WITH KITCHEN MARKETEERS CHUCK HUEBNER AND MICHAEL WEST OF DACOR
Founded in 1965, Dacor is a leading manufacturer of ultra-premium kitchen appliances. Designed and built in California, Dacor’s cooking appliances integrate function, technology and style to create intuitive products that reflect the lifestyle and needs of the passionate home chef. Dacor is also the first and only kitchen appliance brand to be tested and recommended by the master chefs of Le Cordon Bleu. Dacor manufactures a full suite of award-winning appliances, including ranges, cooktops, wall ovens, refrigeration, ventilation and wine preservation. Family-owned for more than 50 years, the company is responsible for many of the innovations that have improved the way people cook in the modern kitchen. Dacor created the 30-inch wall oven category, was the first to integrate an Android™powered tablet in ranges and ovens for the connected kitchen, and made the first continuous platform grates on cooktops, among other advances.
What are the top style and material trends for 2016? In kitchen appliances, stainless steel remains the most popular finish. Designers are gravitating toward color to offer their clients something different and fresh. Some are using color to solve problems, such as matching new appliances to established kitchen color schemes they want to keep. What should every well-designed kitchen have? Appliances placed to keep eye contact with your family or guests make for a better interactive experience. Placing a cooktop in the kitchen island with a motorized downdraft is a great way to not have your back to them, as is common with the conventional placement of ranges/cooktops against a wall. What new innovations should consumers keep an eye out for? Connected kitchen appliances that add freedom to your lifestyle, such as the capability to preheat your oven remotely using your phone, and text you when your food is ready.

Ergonomics play a large role in the design of a high-end kitchen, and it is highly suggested that most cabinetry pull out or come toward you instead of looking out of reach.
Equal parts form and function, Eggersmann’s cabinetry delivers beautiful and useful organizational solutions to the modern home dweller. The company, drawing from more than 100 years of innovation, trial and achievement, is a driving force behind the concealed kitchen—a design movement that gives way to gallery-like spaces in the kitchen, and the cabinetry is art. Using earthborn, organic materials such as raw wood and concrete, Eggersmann’s ultra sleek and clean-lined cabinetry reimagines modernity in a warm and inviting fashion. “We start with the most intrinsically raw materials available, including woods, metals and glass,” shares Eggersmann USA CEO Michael Soltoff. “With these materials used in various textures, colors and sheens, we constantly push the limits of the basic core components.” The Eggersmann design foundation is built on key Bauhaus architectural characteristics—flat, smooth surfaces, cubic shapes, neutral colors and open floor plans (fundamentally pure and resounding in utility)—and is distinguished by technological feats in cabinetry composition and ergonomics, such as its electric mechanisms, custom storage, handle integration and exotic veneers. “The wide availability of parts, components, hardware and materials across the world has caused a demand and push for incredible leaps and bounds in innovation of product,” Soltoff says. “As electronic technology becomes more compact and lightweight, we see an increase in automation in our products, and it has become more of an integrated component of lifestyle, rather than just a cabinet or case good.”

1. Gray matte lacquer and veneer fineline grigio with silver moon quartzite worktop. 2. White and dark gray matte laminate and 11mm Silvertouch worktop with a custom finish WALL track system. 3. White matte laminate with oak rough-sawn and Corian worktop.
EGGERSMANN ESSENTIALS Tangible Intelligence: “Every kitchen requires functional storage space that not only is accessible, but is clever in function,” Soltoff says. “Examples include specialized pantry systems, specialty fitting dishwashers, inserts and utensil dividers.” Ubiquitous Materials, Reborn: Looking ahead, Eggersmann’s work will reveal innovative uses of organic materials, such as concretes and raw wood, as well as industrial finishes, such as stainless steel, copper, bronze and aluminum. Continuity Control: “It is important to have a specific style carried throughout the space,” Soltoff asserts. “Many kitchens are a part of and centered around the living space of the home. This doesn’t mean that the kitchen must match the style of furniture, interior trim and construction. Often, our kitchens are shown as a juxtaposition or unexpected center of the home.”

HUBBARDTON FORGE In the quest to discover fresh aesthetics and innovative designs in interior lighting, we turn to Hubbardton Forge for insight. One of the most respected brands in the lighting industry, Vermont-based Hubbardton Forge was founded upon the principles of authenticity and genuineness, giving way to handcrafted, art-worthy lighting. David Kitts, Hubbardton Forge’s Director of Design, reveals what’s in store for high-end light fixture design. “Industrial and steampunk styles are definitely on trend,” he says. “They intersect in interesting ways in their embrace of strong, imaginative design and application. Our Otto collection is a great example of that.” Kitts also notes the movement toward large statement pieces that are designed in a way where “the metal ‘glows’ through the use of LED light guide platforms and shaped elements.”

WORLD-CLASS EXPERTISE FROM HUBBARDTON FORGE Every well-designed kitchen should have: Layered lighting, such as multiple mini-pendants, a chandelier or wall sconces. Every well-designed bathroom should have: Color-accurate lighting. Materials + finishes of note: A new gloss-white finish; mixed metals; interesting glass elements used in surprising ways. LED driven: Hubbardton Forge has found ways to incorporate LED technology into the design, not just build LED fixtures. Advice for the homeowner: Think about the whole project; how one piece will interact with another. Don’t leave the lighting design for last.

PARIS CERAMICS
Q+A WITH RICHARD ABBOTT OF PARIS CERAMICS
Paris Ceramics blends time-honored materials and craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology to create rare products for floors, walls, ceilings, fireplaces and other objects of art. “We have a lot of new CAD machinery that enhances what you can do in terms of profiles patterns, etc.,” explains the firm’s manager Richard Abbott. “However, you still need to do finishing by hand to give the end result a bespoke quality.” Paris Ceramics has a special relationship with time, design and craftsmanship: No other company has invested in the technology and craftsmen to reclaim and preserve antique objects and flooring back to life. The juxtaposition of the world’s oldest objects preserved by the newest laser-cutting technology is the hallmark of Paris Ceramics. Only Paris Ceramics employs in-house artisans in the United States to ensure a near-flawless finish, size and product. As for new trends in the realm of flooring, Abbott cites traditional and new patterns, an increase in the use of various shades of blue and the rise of porcelain. “We try not to copy, but to be innovative,” Abbott says.
What is inspiring you now? New and traditional patterns and textures in stone and wood. How do you choose materials for each collection? We base selection on what we like, and it has to be timeless. Is it important to have a cohesive style throughout a kitchen or bathroom? Yes, but don’t forget the whimsical and fun. Describe the philosophy behind your firm. Paris Ceramics is the premier resource for timeless flooring material with soul.

ZEPHYR VENTILATION
“
The range hood has become the centerpiece of the kitchen and often sets the tone for the kitchen design.
”
The kitchen has evolved from a utilitarian workspace to a familial gathering and entertaining central core of a home. The focal point of many of today’s most elegant and cutting-edge kitchens is the range hood, which was also born from a purely functional perspective. Zephyr Ventilation, based in Alameda, California, is changing this paradigm by blending high-caliber utility with high-quality aesthetics. “We have elevated the hood to its rightful place, with a focus on design, innovation and technology,” shares the company’s president Luke Siow. “Since the launch of our first hoods in 1997, we have remained true to our vision of delivering the unexpected: by deliberately seeking to change the marketplace.” The sophisticated hoods reveal remarkable technological feats within the kitchen, such as its DCBL Suppression System®, the industry’s first range hood motor powered by direct current (DC) energy (an evolutionary step from the traditional AC-powered range hood) and the newly unveiled Lucé with ICON Touch® controls, which integrate into the hood’s stainless steel canopy and control the hood’s LED lights in cloud white, deep blue and amber colors.

Q+A WITH LUKE SIOW, PRESIDENT OF ZEPHYR VENTILATION What are the top style and material trends for 2016? We are seeing a trend toward mixed materials in kitchen ventilation that incorporate ceramic, mixed metallics and glass. Colored and LED lighting are also trends we are noticing in ventilation as well as other kitchen appliances. What new innovations should consumers keep an eye out for? The Wave hood features Dual Capture Zones that collect contaminates through two points to ensure a smokeand debris-free kitchen. Lux Island features an integrated design that discreetly mounts into the ceiling and Perimeter Aspiration, a technique that moves airflow away from the central area of the hood and evenly distributes it through narrow openings around the perimeter of the hood. Is it important to have a cohesive style throughout a kitchen? A kitchen can have a cohesive style while still communicating the homeowner’s personality and individuality. We’re seeing a lot more color, pattern and customized appliances in the kitchen that truly reflect the style of the homeowner.

FROM SOPHISTICATED STAYS TO ZEN-LIKE RETREATS, HOTELS AND RESORTS HAVE MASTERED THE ART OF MOOD-SETTING STYLE AND RISK-TAKING DESIGN IN THE KITCHEN AND BATH. WRITTEN BY MARISA SPYKER
164 / LUXESOURCE.COM
When it comes right down to it, designers often have one overarching mission: to make the home feel like a perpetual retreat. The two most-frequented rooms in the home are no exception. Baths often transform into visions of spa-like bliss and kitchens become clean, open-plan breaths of fresh air. So, when seeking aesthetic inspiration, it’s only natural to turn to the very experts of escapist style: the hospitality industry. From modernist urban highrises to secluded South American estancias, the world’s most beautiful hotels and resorts have mastered the art of maximizing views, inspiring relaxation and pushing the boundaries of great design (a room bathed almost entirely in sleek, glossy wood, for example). Here, we celebrate five-star style in all its glory, alongside products that make vacation-like living a breeze to adopt at home.

DESIGN FEATURES OF NOTE: Design maven Patricia Urquiola employed her own wall-mounted chrome fixtures from her collection for Axor in the Mandarin Oriental Barcelona’s Penthouse Suite bath. Glossy ceramic stools from Rosenthal mirror the smooth surfaces of the vanity top and tub. WHY WE LOVE IT: Leave it to Urquiola to strike just the right balance of serene and sophisticated.

DESIGN FEATURES OF NOTE: The brainchild of Singapore-based architect Kerry Hill, this spacious suite bathroom is composed almost entirely of traditional Japanese Kakou Gan granite, allowing the pièce de résistance—a deep Japanese furo soaking tub—to take center stage. WHY WE LOVE IT: High above the urban bustle, the bathroom’s monochromatic gray stone décor evokes an air of simplicity that’s symbolic of Japanese culture. The space also allows the spectacular views of Tokyo and, on clear days, Mt. Fuji, to shine through floor-to-ceiling windows. aman.com
ESTANCIA VIK
JOSE IGNACIO, URUGUAY DESIGN FEATURES OF NOTE: When renowned Norwegian art collectors and hoteliers Alex and Carrie Vik sought to create a 12-suite luxury boutique hotel in the middle of Uruguayan farmland, their mission was to make as little of an environmental impact as possible (think solar panels, wind and geothermal energy, a water-recycling system). The bath in the artist-designed master suite is no exception: The entire room, including the walls, door, sink and tub, is enveloped in richly veined wood locally sourced from jacaranda trees. WHY WE LOVE IT: The dark wood-clad bath pays homage to the retreat’s sprawling 4,000 acres of countryside, but sleek details like the sculptural lines of the tub, minimalist steel fixtures and recessed lighting give the space a decidedly modern feel. vikretreats.com 166 / LUXESOURCE.COM

ESCAPE ARTIST
JEFFREY WILKES Resort whisperer Jeffrey Wilkes is the creative mind behind some of the most Zen-inspiring retreats in South Asia and beyond. At the Ritz-Carlton Mandapa in Ubud, Bali, he channels the lush outdoors with rustic materials and a natural palette. designwilkes.com 168 / LUXESOURCE.COM
What was your design inspiration for this space? When we created the bathrooms for the rooms and suites at Mandapa, it was our desire to have them act as extensions of the rooms. It’s a resort, and the experience of the bath, and the relaxation one feels from the experience, is paramount. It was important to create a space where someone would take the time to linger and enjoy a soak in the tub while looking out at the view.
Tell us about the mélange of materials. Touch is always a very important aspect of a room, along with the visual component. Here, patterned fretwork, weathered timbers and leather-finished marble stone all work in combination to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Woven ceiling panels are reminiscent of local Alang-alang (thatched) roofs. We also commissioned vanity sinks carved from teak wood with small decorative patterns around them.
How is the natural environment reflected? The earthy palette of chocolate brown, gold and bronze that we introduced to these spaces is taken in large part from the landscape and rivers that surround the property. We hung a pair of round mirrors over the vanity and flanked them with uneven water drop glass lights. It helps create the illusion that you’ve just set up camp in the forest, like you’re part of the evolving landscape.

The company’s Cade 26 fragrance, a play on its popular Santal 26 scent shown right, was created in partnership with New York’s Gramercy Park Hotel and combines the smell of smoky wood with hints of leather (a nod to the cozy fireplace in the lobby). lelabofragrances.com

WHITE OUT It’s a tall order to make a place once the stomping grounds of Frank Sinatra and Winston Churchill even more fabulous than it was before. In his reimagining of the historic Surf Club Hotel and Residences in Miami, though, architect Richard Meier does just that, thanks in part to the project’s high-style kitchens with their custom Boffi cabinetry and white marble islands that give the spaces a feeling as fresh as salt air. thesurfclub.com
HAUTE
Part of the luxury of a hotel room snooze is what happens when it’s over—that next morning when you wake up to breakfast being rolled in on a room-service cart. In addition to fresh fruit and pain au chocolat, a resort-worthy meal typically includes a steaming beaker of French press coffee. This vessel from Bodum features a decorative copper frame, which protects the glass container and adds a splash of eye candy to your kitchen countertop. bodum.com

When artists parlay their talents into new creative outlets, the results are often fascinating. So, when English painter Rebecca Thompson tried her hand at decorating a series of boutique villas on the island of Grenada, it’s no surprise the final product was beautiful. Here, vaulted lightwood ceilings and white wicker barstools add an effortlessly bohemian vibe, while stainlesssteel European appliances and modern light fi xtures keep the shabby-chic factor at bay. Painted blue cabinets reflective of the sky and sea add a playful pop of color. macabana.com

LUXE HITS THE ROAD TO GATHER DESIGN INSPIRATION FROM AROUND THE GLOBE WITH THE HELP OF THE SAVVIEST OF TOUR GUIDES.
WINDOWS ON THE WORLD It’s true that inspiration can strike anywhere— but it doesn’t hurt to take your creative muse on a trip every once in a while. From Mexico and England to Scandinavia and beyond, the colors and flavors of far-flung locales can be as intoxicating at home as they are in their respective parts of the world (think bold Yucatán tiles on a patio in Southern California or a beautifully patinaed Swedish grandfather clock holding court in a farmhouse in Texas). Here, we tapped some of our favorite interiors experts for an insider’s look at the best international destinations for design lovers.

mission: WANDERLUST Designer Laura Kirar performs her own southern migration multiple times each year: The New York-based interiors maven and product designer owns a home in Mérida, Mexico, and finds herself endlessly enthralled with the historical city’s exciting arts scene and thriving community of craftsmen. Read below, as she fashions what her pitch-perfect itinerary looks like for a fun-filled day in the Yucatán. laurakirar.com 9 a.m. I always try to start the day with yoga and a swim at home. I’m still in the process of restoring my 18th-century hacienda, so I love to spend as much time there as possible. 10 a.m. Next up is breakfast: There are always tortillas made by hand, fresh-squeezed mango juice, huevos revueltos and avocados picked from the tree in my own yard.
11 a.m. There really isn’t a “shopping district” in Mérida, but the Mercado Principal in the center of town has a little bit of everything—from food to shoes to vintage jewelry. There’s also great shopping around the Parque de Santiago in Centro, where you can find contemporary, artisan-made sandals, hats and accessories at places like Kukul. 1 p.m. The lunch at Hacienda Temozon is fantastic; I always order the guacamole con chapulines, sopa de limon, carnitas and a tequila with sangrita. If it’s Sunday, we go to brunch at Hacienda Ochil. The hacienda is picturesque and also has its own James Turrell installation. 3 p.m. Next, I make my rounds: I visit FonArt shop for the best in embroidery, pottery, and table and bed linens, Coqui Coqui for natural mosquito repellent and room scents, and the Alfaro Galeria de Arte y Antigüedades in the Centro; though, the term “antiques” should be taken lightly—it has a really eclectic collection. 5 p.m. Then, it’s another late afternoon dip in one of the many surrounding cenotes, pools that form naturally when a limestone bedrock collapses. I love the Cenote Kankirixche; it’s breathtakingly beautiful.
Counterclockwise from top: Designer Laura Kirar wandering through her favorite outdoor market, taking a dip in the Cenote Kankirixche, and starting the night with friends and La Negrita’s famous mescal.

2LOCAL flavor David Serrano, one half of the creative duo behind celebrated Los Angeles shop Downtown, spills on what he loves most about his home away from home in Mexico:
“The quality of light in Mérida inspired me to start painting again. They sometimes call it the ‘White City,’ but its skies are very blue. And, while it doesn’t have mountains, the clouds are so white and full that they almost feel like unscalable peaks in their own right. It’s a big, big world, but I’m treating this little corner of it as my very own cabinet of curiosities.” downtown20.net

This year’s first-annual Caravana Americana, which took place in March, made a big splash in Mexico City thanks to its stunning array of art, fashion and housewares from all across Latin America. From the creative minds of Regina Barrios and Alessandro Cerutti, the pair behind the cult-favorite boutique Lago DF, Caravana Americana seeks to pair Mexican makers—like 1050 Grados, Ricardo Casas and CyTF, whose handsome marquetry work is shown here— with international buyers for a weekend of contemporary design bliss that we can’t wait to mark and set on our calendars for next year. caravanaamericana.com

The former executive director of one of the newest additions to the Yucatán arts scene, Fundación de Artistas, Indira Londono (right) reflects on the region’s growing creative community and gives collectors the inside scoop on where to go and who to watch when building their portfolios. fundaciondeartistas.org
Top Mexican artists to watch: Mérida has many talented local artists, but I’m mostly interested in artists who redefine the idea of art and utilize it as a vector to create a dialogue about relevant social issues. Some of my favorites are Alexa Torre, Marcela Diaz, Stefania Rivadeneyra, Karla Madera and Uggo Gonzalez.
What makes Mexican art different? It’s difficult to categorize and compare artwork from Mexico versus the U.S. because there are many factors that influence artists even within regions of the same country—for example, the art in the Yucatán will be very different than in areas like Oaxaca and Mexico City. Here, art specifically draws influences from many factors such as its region’s Mayan ancestry, Spanish occupation and the Caribbean climate.
Must-visit art fairs or festivals for American collectors: My favorites are Noche Blanca—an event sponsored by the city of Mérida in conjunction with artists, galleries, museums and public spaces for a finely curated tour of what the community here has to offer—and the National Biennial of Visual Arts of Yucatán—which features a wide range of Mexican art, including paintings, sculptures, photography, video-art and installations.

FIRST PERSON
MARTYN LAWRENCE BULLARD London to me is not only my original home and teenage stomping ground, it is a main artery for my decorative inspirations and design shopping. These days, I like to start my trip by booking into one of the splendid new design hotels that have sprung up across the country. My current hot spot is the super luxurious Beaumont hotel in London’s W1; it makes you feel like you’re in The Great Gatsby, but you’re not, you’re on a shopping trip with me; so, here’s what comes next: 8:30 a.m. There’s no better place to start your day than in The Colony Grill Room at Selfridges with a full English breakfast and lashings of Earl Grey tea all silver-served with the finest attention to detail. 10 a.m. Head over to Alfies Antique Market with dealers that sell everything from vintage-leather and vellum travel trunks (ask for Leslie Warander at The Tintin Shop to show you his secret stash hidden upstairs) to 1970s and ’80s Italian furniture and lighting. 11:30 a.m. From there, go to King’s Road in Chelsea. With luck, you’ll get to catch a viewing of the latest sale at Lots Road Auctions, a veritable bargainhunters local auction held weekly. My favorite antiques store in London, Guinevere, is just around the corner and is a real treat for the eyes.
12:30 p.m. After antiquing, a spot of lunch is required. I head to the Wolseley—by Piccadilly Circus—a European restaurant designed by my friend, the late and great David Collins. It’s highly stylized with black-and-white marble floors, bronze chandeliers and chinoiserie-lacquered panels. 2 p.m. A little après stroll down Piccadilly will bring you to Fortnum & Mason, the luxury food and lifestyle store that happens to make my very favorite tea, Imperial Earl Grey. After stocking up on that, I head to Jermyn Street to visit my tailor: Ozwald Boateng makes the most fun suiting. 3 p.m. No day in London is complete without art. The S2 Gallery, run by Fru Tholstrup, belongs to Sotheby’s and houses exhibits by rising art stars like Charming Baker, along with group shows, like the recent exhibit curated by Tommy Hilfiger and Jeffrey Deitch. As a photo enthusiast, I also head over to the Hamilton Gallery in Mayfair. 5 p.m. London is known for its quality upholstery and fabric houses, but for me, visiting the tiny trim shop VV Rouleaux is a necessity. This jewelbox store offers amazing trims, tassels, beads, feathers and other theatrical decorating tools. 7 p.m. The perfect day in London ends with my favorite eatery, The Ivy. Favored by London’s theater crowd, its recently remodeled interiors are cozy and glamorous. martynlawrencebullard.com

LONDON calling While Michael S. Smith has become a bit of a symbol of Americana— having been tapped by the Obama administration to reimagine the White House’s residential spaces during the First Family’s time in Washington, D.C.—the LA-based interior designer actually built much of his influential aesthetic from his time overseas in London, where he studied at the beloved Victoria and Albert Museum and fostered a lifelong love of antiques. Find out why his London calling is as loud as ever. michaelsmithinc.com What do you love most about British design? English homes, especially the wonderful country houses, have a very identifiable voice; they’re about putting various things together in a way that’s both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Since the country has a longer history than the U.S., people have been acquiring furniture and passing it down in the family for much longer, and the result is both a lack of fussiness and a

Known for his wild color palettes and playful style, Jonathan Adler doesn’t mind buttoning it up every once in a while with a dose of classic British design. Here are his top-five spots to visit in London. jonathanadler.com 1. My shops! I have one on Sloane Avenue and one on Westbourne Grove. They’re great fun (as evidenced by Adler’s Zebra British flag rug shown at right), and I’d love them even if they weren’t mine. 2. Liberty of London is a must. The building is sublime, with the most gorgeous Gothic architecture and patina. 3. It’s not a trip without a visit to Harrods. You can get literally anything there. 4. I love Alfie’s Antique Market—a —a building full of little shops and surrounding streets with shops. It’s packed with heavenly finds. I spend almost an entire day there whenever I’m in London. 5. The Conran Shop is another favorite. I love going to the flagship location in Chelsea. They always have something new and outside the box.
practicality when it comes to design. It sees very formal and important pieces feeling at home with more approachable and humanistic things: a mastery of the mix. Favorite British designers past and present: The classic example, of course, is the design firm of Colefax and Fowler; their work has been a not-so-secret source of inspiration in a lot of really good English houses. Beyond them, I love the modernity and color of the legendary David Hicks and the historical elegance of Robert Kime. Is there a historic English house you’d particularly love to design? I’d be truly thrilled to outfit places like Haddon Hall or Chiswick House—estates that have really beautiful architecture and are just extraordinary with a kind of eccentric appeal. There’s something challenging and exciting about creating personality in a home that already has so much of its own.

Los Angeles-based interiors and product designer Jill Sorensen may have left her Swedish upbringing behind in terms of miles traveled, but she continues to embrace the country’s sophistication and simplicity in her fun and quirky home projects all over the U.S. Here, she sits down with Luxe to give us a Swedish design history lesson. jillsorensen.com Favorite Swedish designers past and present: I’m a fan of King Gustav III. He was a Swedish king in the late 1700s who was obsessed with design, and during his reign, he created the style of furniture that’s the most famous in the country today: Gustavian. I also love Josef Frank, who designed the amazing Swedish Tenn fabrics that are like pieces of art. What do you love most about Swedish design? I love all things Gustavian, which is
basically a simplified country version of Louis XVI style: the distressed furniture, whitepainted floors, etc. Because of the lack of sunlight (only four hours or so a day in the winter time), Swedes are experts at adding brightness to their interiors with pastel walls and white interiors. Best shops to visit in Stockholm: You’ll find the most incredible fabrics imaginable at the beautiful Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm; it was originally founded in 1924, and it never fails to impress. I’m also always surprised at the things I find at Bukowskis auction house. It has incredible antiques up for grabs and is surprisingly affordable. Otherwise, blocket.se is also one of my favorite little secrets: It’s a resale site that is very popular in Sweden. You can find amazing things for next to nothing in your local area!

I have a vacation home in a small village there with great history: As little as 50 years ago, the town telephonist lived downstairs.

We were invited to speak at the Monocle Quality of Life conference and took the chance to go to a place we’d been dreaming and planning on going to anyway. And we weren’t disappointed thanks to the classic buildings, wonderful design heritage, and great things going on culturally and entrepreneurially. Augarten Porcelain Factory Wow! This factory (above) is such a far cry from ours in California. We love that the owners of the company appreciated their staff so much that they created this beautiful place for them to work. We think the same way: that great work comes from great work environments. We just have a different style!

Part of researching tile for the promotion of our latest book, Tile Makes the Room: Good Design from Heath Ceramics, this trip grew out of our fascination with places like Portugal, with cities and regions with layers of history that’s been preserved and respected. National Tile Museum There’s such a rich heritage of handcrafted tile in this country that they opened a museum dedicated to it (above) and set it in a former convent that dates back to 1509. The reverence for tile, a material that we so often overlook, filled us with awe. Palácio Ramalhete This hotel (shown at right) was an oasis of calm. There was gorgeous tile wainscoting everywhere, which was our favorite touch. We love hotels like this: intimate places (this one only has 12 rooms) with deep history.

Tage Andersen’s home (above), far from any major town, is an amazing work of art—and a working farm. The villa and gardens were created by Andersen, himself, a maverick florist and artist. It was designed almost as an art installation, but, again, with a farm, so it’s pleasing aesthetically but not at all precious. These trees were something that Andersen must have envisioned as many as 20 years ago; it’s taken that long to become what they are. heathceramics.com

“I think those who are happiest here are active. They see the beauty in all the brown of the desert. They love the sunshine and enjoy the relaxed lifestyle.”
Spotlight on Prescott “Everyone who comes here is charmed by this little town,” Board says. “With the picturesque courthouse on the town square and antique stores galore, it’s a fun place to visit.

he Board by Board Design mission statement is centered on a goal of making each space about the homeowner and not the designer. “The essence of good design will always be about people and how they live,” says principal Christie Board. “I don’t want to be the designer where every job looks the same.” The full-service firm is split into two key pursuits: the building of custom homes, led by Board’s husband, Robert, and the design of interior spaces, including kitchens and baths. Residents of Prescott, Arizona, for more than 16 years, the Boards are experts at achieving the varying wants and needs of local homeowners. “The Western, Indian and Mexican influences will always be a strong design feature because of the history in this state,” Board says. “We are seeing a trend toward contemporary and transitional interiors, but those rustic touches will always stay relevant here.” Board is known for her process, in which she enables the client an understanding of “the science of putting materials together successfully,” an important skill when working with a variety of aesthetic preferences. Asked to shed light on her affinity for northern Arizona, Board’s answer is charmingly simple. “I love the sunshine,” she says. “We lived in the Northwest for years, and it is beautiful on a sunny day, but those can be few and far between. Here the sun shines every day. It’s a happy place.”

NORTHERN ARIZONA’S ADVANCEMENT: A CONVERSATION WITH CHRISTIE BOARD What makes northern Arizona a unique place/destination? What drew you to it? We came to Arizona for better weather and Prescott for a great community in which to raise our son. How do you view northern Arizona changing over the next decade? It is continuing to grow. More people are retiring here or adding a second home. I like seeing the growth, but I hope it will always maintain the spirit of the Wild West. Do you often work on second homes? About 30 percent of my clients have second homes either here in Prescott or elsewhere in the region.

Much like the landscape of its showroom’s location, the purveyor’s offerings are unique. Asked to elaborate on his favorite aspect of the work, Michael points to his clients. “The people we have had the chance to meet make this fascinating business rewarding,” he says. “We embody a simple philosophy: Build it in America, build it to last and deal with folks in the way with which we would like to be dealt.”

A
premier architecture firm in the area since 1989, Distinctive Homes is a fundamental member of the design community in northern Arizona. Its president and CEO, Thomas C. Terry, has a detailed understanding of the region and its unique appeal. This knowledge is put to work in each of the firm’s designs, which seek to complement the surrounding landscape. “We partner with our clients to create a living piece of art they can call home,” Terry says. “We want to enhance the features of the lot and highlight great views from every room while preserving natural beauty.” Of his decision to establish the firm in this particular location, Terry notes the majestic mountain scenery, varied and pleasurable climates and landscapes that prove ideal for his favored aesthetic: Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired modern masterpieces. Still, Terry says that northern Arizona is “a melting pot of architectural styles” and he enjoys working with the variety. Having completed high-end projects in communities throughout the area—from Hassayampa, American Ranch and Prescott Lakes to Forest Trails and Cross Creek Ranch—Terry and his team are well versed in the requirements specific to the individual aesthetics found throughout. Abundant in small-town charm, northern Arizona nevertheless offers the amenities inherent to larger areas, making it a mecca for those seeking a retreat that has it all.

NORTHERN ARIZONA: DEMOGRAPHIC “The general attitude of the people here in northern Arizona is very laid-back,” Terry says. “People best suited for life here are those who want to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities and enjoy the activities the great outdoors has to offer. Most of the residents who have second homes here primarily reside in places like Phoenix and California. Often, they are empty nesters that want to escape the extreme heat or cold in their primary location.”

“The architectural styles in northern Arizona are as diverse as the landscape,” HutchisonRough says. “We have worked on projects that range from Taliesin-inspired prairie architecture to organic mountain retreats and many in between. The common theme is a relaxed, warm feeling with a focus on outdoor living and local materials.” Whether the project is one of Hutchison’s signature pueblo homes or a contemporary masterpiece, the firm guides its clients through an engaging, enjoyable and ultimately successful design process.

“Northern Arizona has a flavor all its own. There is a pioneering spirit that is rooted in the rugged, but spectacularly beautiful natural landscapes.”
A “
search for the sun, respect for the desert environment and my rebellious cowboy attitude drew me to the Southwest early on in life,” Lee Hutchison says. The principal and founder of Urban Design Associates quickly adapted to northern Arizona’s artistic and adventurous culture. Today, he leads the firm alongside Jessica Hutchison-Rough, who specializes in sustainable building and is LEED certified. With its main office in Scottsdale and informal office space in Flagstaff, the Urban Design Associates team is able to be flexible with meetings and site visits. Working predominantly on second homes that, as Hutchison tells it, often become primary homes, the firm strives to offer structures that anticipate the inhabitants’ every want and need. “Our greatest passion is to create beautiful, functional and inspirational places our clients can truly call dream homes,” Hutchison-Rough says. “We listen to the homeowner and the environment to distill the information, fuse creativity with functionality and design the perfect space.” Home to stunning landscapes and diverse culture alike, northern Arizona is a mecca for design, drawing talented professionals in with its inherently inspiring visuals. Hutchison’s influences prove that Urban Design Associates houses such luminaries. “Each project starts with the owner and the site,” he says. “We study them both as our first influences. Then, we draw from world travels and the architectural details of the masters. Architecture is an everchanging and growing field. We enjoy the constant learning.”

Through her firm, Weinman Architectural Services, she strives to provide the same getaway for each client. She credits the region’s stunning natural beauty and agreeable climate, which makes for an ideal indoor-outdoor living environment, as responsible for northern Arizona’s distinctive appeal. “The red rocks, blue sky, clouds, stars, spiritual energy and colors of the high desert make Arizona relaxing, spiritual and enchanting,” Weinman says. “This area is perfect for living outdoors, with a number of hiking trails nearby.” She goes on to advise homeowners and visitors alike to slow down, get in sync with the pace of the area and allow negative energy to melt away. A hot spot for second homes within the country, the region offers the firm a unique market in which to thrive. “We work almost exclusively on second homes,” Weinman says. “Until the northern area was accessible via highways, the homes were small. The recent innovations in materials like glazing, rock veneer and lighting products have contributed to a new open and airy look, with high ceilings, big views and incredible light.” 1 2

F
orm follows fashion. That may be an admittedly unsubstantiated variation of the form follows function architecture principle, but anyone who tracks design trends knows when a color or fabric appears on the runway it won’t be long before similar tones and textures invade the world of interior design. So, when structured gold jackets and evening dresses laced with silver threads started making fashion headlines recently, interior designer Laurel Pfannenstiel and her clients likely took notice. “The wife is very fashion-forward and her love of that industry inspired so much of what we did,” says Pfannenstiel. “One of the first finishes we selected for the remodel of their Paradise Valley home was the kitchen backsplash: The mix of gold-and-silver hand-painted tiles set the tone for the ample use of metallics throughout the house.” But before silver pillows and gold-leaf accents could be layered on, the sophisticated backdrop the Midwestern couple desired needed to be established in the 1980s
Spanish Colonial they purchased. “Most people would have scraped it,” says Pfannenstiel. “But they opted to remodel and invest in the details that would instill the original structure with warmth and character.” The extensive renovation began on the front exterior, where architect Matt Thomas introduced steps and retaining walls to create an entry sequence more elegant than the existing concrete path and added a patio with views of Camelback Mountain. “We also removed and redid the front element in a scale more appropriate to the architecture,” says Thomas about the new curved arch that frames the front door. Inside, the floor plan was reshaped to open the entry to the living room and to free the isolated kitchen. “Now the kitchen opens to the dining room and a large sliding steel door provides access to the patio,” adds Thomas. Similar steel doors and windows were introduced in strategic locations such as the family room, and for consistency, the remaining wood fenestration was painted to match the steel frames.
Interior designer Laurel Pfannenstiel introduced a quartet of Michael Berman Limited chairs to provide the living room seating, which sports Cowtan & Tout white shearling from Town. WFI fabricated pillows with animal-print velvet. The custom upholstered bench and antique ottomans rest on a carpet from Azadi Fine Rugs.
With the backdrop reorganized and revitalized, it was time to bring on the character, and Pfannenstiel, along with design assistant Jessica Taylor, prepared six vision boards to illustrate her plans for the interior architectural details. “The boards included plaster moldings and reclaimed beams,” says the designer, who relied on builder Nancy Brunkhorst and her son and project manager, Brock Brunkhorst, to execute everything from the intricate handdetailed plasterwork on the fireplaces to wrapping the existing beams in the family room with timbers from a tobacco farm in North Carolina. About the latter, Nancy explains, “Structurally, the ceiling could only carry so much weight, so the heavy new beams had to be milled, fitted and secured properly.” Her team also handled integrating an array of found items unearthed by the wife and the designer during forays to antiques stores around the country. “In the dining room, we framed metal-grill window panels
with reclaimed wood,” says Brock; they also retrofitted a pair of antique door handles from a Chicago bank to serve as refrigerator and freezer door pulls in the kitchen. In advance of any furniture or fabric selections, Pfannenstiel settled on the remaining interior finishes, including stark-white plaster walls and French-oak floors with a soft gray finish. “The wood floor selection was critical because we knew we wanted to mix traditional and modern elements, and the floor supplies that warmth,” says Pfannenstiel. She then introduced touches of turquoise for a modern contrast. In the dining room, for example, vibrant turquoise velvet fabrics breathe new life into the surrounding chairs, while ottoman cushions in the adjacent living room sport a similar lighter tone. When it came to layering on the shine, Pfannenstiel didn’t hesitate to imbue every space with a little glam. In the family room, chairs wear a taupe-gray velvet shot through with metallic

Elsewhere, the blue kitchen island features gold-leaf accents, and the sheer linen draperies seen throughout have a whisper of shiny filaments. Even the new white tiles in the pool shimmer. “We purposely used hints of metallic to create subtle elegance,” Pfannenstiel says. According to landscape designer Jeff Berghoff, along with new tiles, the pool was further refreshed with an Indiana limestone patio surrounded by artificial turf. “After tearing up all the existing decking, we didn’t want there to be a sea of stone between the house and pool, so we created a ribbon of green to break things up,” says Berghoff, who worked on the home with project manager Keith Oetjen. “The owners travel a lot, so low maintenance was important, and the turf doesn’t require mowing or watering.” Berghoff also salvaged senitas, cardons and other cactus varieties and replanted them in a cluster to form a drought-tolerant garden. “You can see them from the house, and at night, we light them, which adds an element of drama,” Berghoff says. Come nightfall, thanks to thoughtful lighting and all those metallics, as well as personal touches by the wife including candles and Lalique accents, the interiors also glow. “It was important for me to show how an older home can be updated with exquisite interior architecture and beautiful finishes,” says Pfannenstiel. “I have a fierce passion for well-curated interiors and an unfaltering belief that one’s home should be an enthralling culmination of the client and everything they love.”

T
he design is influenced by such greats as Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier,” architect and general contractor Kevin B. Howard says of the Tucson home he created for a couple retiring to the area to be near their family. The owners desired something a bit different from the arched-and-tiled Tuscan villas they saw nearby—something that would stand up to their highly curated collection of modern furniture and art. “They wanted a modern, minimal home: a pristine box that seemed to have landed in the desert,” adds Howard. To accommodate this request, he drew on his historical knowledge of modern architecture and crafted a series of architectural gestures where the home edges the desert and smooth exterior plaster gives the dwelling a streamlined look that pays homage to those modernist masters’ work. To begin the project, Howard reduced the ground-level footprint to do minimal damage to the desert, lifting major spaces to the second level, where he arranged them into broad volumes of stucco and glass. The architect then precisely placed the home amid the saguaro cactus forest that blankets the site, monitoring every rock and cactus. “The desert is very slow to heal,” he says, noting that the team kept the construction fence tight to the house and transplanted a few saguaro cacti to mitigate damage. The area’s climate and the owners’ substantial art collection also came into play. Because the house lives in the brilliant Arizona sunshine and heat, Miesian walls of glass weren’t an option. “So, to protect the collection, we developed the house as a cluster of shadowboxes with glass panes deeply recessed into thick stucco walls,” Howard says.

Lined with 2-by-2-foot Porcelanosa tile from Fractured Earth, with walls sheathed in a five-coat plaster, the two-story gallery separates the public spaces from the private ones. Installation art enlivens the space, including six Donald Judd Chairs and a neon temple, titled Oracle, by Dana Burton and Dennis Dix of Deux Design. The stairway was customdesigned and built by Howard with open risers, walnut treads and a glass railing with stainless-steel hardware.
In addition to a request for simplicity, the couple brought many other ideas to Howard. For example, they love Renzo Piano’s atrium in the Modern Wing of The Art Institute of Chicago so much that they requested one for their own house. Hence, a two-story-high atrium with a 30-foot-long skylight and glass-railed bridge resides in the middle of the home. “The atrium connects the entry on the lower level to the living space above,” Howard says. “It becomes connective tissue while displaying significant pieces of art.” The architect then grouped the guest rooms on one side of the atrium and the couple’s most-used spaces on the other. Rooms that face north, such as the kitchen—which features modern Italian cabinetry—and a sitting area, boast tall ceilings with high windows overlooking close-in panoramas of the dense saguaro cactus forest. The main living and dining areas face south, so their windows frame the lights of Tucson and mountains beyond.
The interior displays a purposely limited material palette. Walls feature a neutral white plaster to enhance the art, and floors are large-scale Italian porcelain tiles. “I like that the materials are a very quiet backdrop for the art and surrounding views,” Howard says. In the entry, for example, large pool ball sculptures by artist Nacho Rodriguez Bach and a work by Tom Bacher pop against the subdued background. Furthermore, muted walls in the living area allow a vibrant piece by local artist Robert Barber to make a statement over the fireplace. “We’ve always collected what we were drawn to,” says the wife. “No matter where we’ve lived, we’ve always managed to make the art and objects we love work in our environment.” Adds the husband: “Our hobbies are art and architecture, and we really like to reinvent ourselves.” Like many art aficionados, the couple have their favorites: They love artists Joseph Henry Sharp and Thomas Cole, both displayed in the powder room, and Alex Katz, whose

work hangs above the dining area’s buffet. “Our style is very eclectic,” says the wife. One of their happiest finds is the one by 93-year-old Barber, who, at the time of the purchase, had painted for years but never sold anything. “We bought his first piece, and now he’s selling in New York,” says the husband. For the furnishings, the pair consulted with Chicagobased interior designer Arlene Semel of SemelSnow Interior Design. As a trusted adviser to the owners for years, Semel evaluated plans early in the design process and reviewed such items as floor tiles, lighting and cabinetry; she also advised the couple on furniture selection and placement. “Arlene gave us great ideas like increasing the width of the living and dining area, adding extra cabinetry in the master bathroom, creating a bunk room with four built-in beds for overflowing guests, and paneling the east wall of the entry to include two hidden-touch doors,” says the wife, noting that much of 230 / LUXESOURCE.COM
their existing furniture made the move from their previous Chicago residence. For instance, a beautiful 1959 Alain Richard rosewood dining table was too small to fit in the new dining space. So, Semel suggested using the table as a desk. Now, with a glass top and a custom black box for electrical and computer wires, the piece makes a perfect office addition. “The process was very interesting to participate in,” Semel says. “They had such formed ideas but enjoyed having a professional eye to support and enhance their thoughts.” Today, the homeowners couldn’t be more pleased with their home, which is strongly influenced by minimalist art with its simple forms and clean surfaces—a contrast to the dynamic desert site. “Being able to enjoy this beautiful creation, which is about art, architecture and interior design set in the incredibly gorgeous desert landscape was what this project was all about,” says the wife. Sounds like a perfectly curated space.

BODY LANGUAGE RESHAPING THE HUMAN FORM, PHOENIX ARTIST MICHAEL MARLOWE FASHIONS PAINTINGS AND DRAWINGS THAT PUSH THE BOUNDARIES OF SCALE AND IMAGINATION. WRITTEN BY ERIN MARVIN / PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRANDON SULLIVAN
LUXESOURCE.COM / 237
Artist Michael Marlowe (center) creates a variety of pieces in his Phoenix studio, including the small in-progress oil paintings (left) and the larger work made of 16 square-grid panels that is shown on the previous pages. Paint color tests (bottom, left) and palette knives (bottom, right) are used for Marlowe’s pieces. His studio (opposite) displays a painting wall.
S
elf-reflection takes on new meaning in the work of Phoenix artist Michael Marlowe: What may first appear as fantastical pieces are actually figurative representations of the body—what Marlowe calls “self-exploration through biological abstractions.” Less a lesson in biology than a deep introspective journey, Marlowe shapes forms—a shoulder joint here, a hip bone there— and interconnects elements atop a deep dimensional color field. “When people look at my work, they pick out pieces they recognize, be it bone or body or landscape,” says Marlowe, noting that his work references various forms, shapes, small narratives and historical concepts. “The juxtaposition of these elements creates possibilities for the viewer to find meaning. I like to think that my work is open to interpretation. Someone can make observations or connections and start a dialogue about what they see.” The artist’s work comes to life primarily in oil on canvas, though he’s also been known to use unexpected materials such as tar, concrete, clay or wood when the imagery or mood of the piece demands it. Often working on multiple paintings at a time, it can take Marlowe three months or longer to finish a single large-scale piece. The grand size of his artwork—often 6-, 8- or even 10-foot-long canvases—harks back to his days as a set designer, a career he pursued in addition to his lifelong love of painting. Years spent in theater, film and television production instilled a passion for scale still evident in his work today. “The set designer in me wants to create a moment,” says Marlowe. “I like the idea of standing in front of something that’s of human scale, if not a little bit bigger, and you don’t have this sense of a periphery.” According to Marlowe, this lack of boundaries coupled with painting off the edge of a canvas allows one’s eyes to move around a large piece and ultimately draws the viewer in.
LUXESOURCE.COM / 239
240 / LUXESOURCE.COM
In Marlowe’s studio (left), a piece titled Reverse Garden, measuring at 10 yards by 42 inches, is currently being worked on by the artist. Chalk pastels (below) are materials Marlowe frequently uses.
Marlowe continues to captivate his audience by pushing the limits of scale and creativity. Case in point: He’s currently working on a large 18-by-18-foot painting that’s actually comprised of 16 square-grid panels each at 4 by 4 feet. With the painting close to completion, he’s thinking of working with a digital animator to turn the piece into a video projection, bringing it to life with movement and sound. Another concept Marlowe’s considered is more sculptural in nature, such as shapes within his artwork reimagined as gigantic balloons—think the scale of the characters found in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Sewn together with white neoprene and filled with helium, he envisions the balloons floating above the ground and illuminated by colored spotlights, or filling a large interior gallery space. “It’s the same work but demands different materials and a different medium,” he says. While Marlowe’s work may pay homage to a variety of influences—decorative art, various periods of art history, contemporary artists he admires and, of course, the body itself—it also strives to speak an entirely new language. “The physical act of painting or drawing creates an emotional spark. The images I produce are a natural visual extension of that immediate experience,” Marlowe says. “I start with the body as a shape to abstract, but then that can change into other forms. No matter the result, though, I’m most interested in the human condition.”

esigner Jamie Hedstrom hit the ground running when a couple from the Northeast hired her to help them with their new Scottsdale home. “At our very first meeting, the wife began diving into the design,” Hedstrom says. “And I was able to put rooms together quickly due to my familiarity with the house.” Her familiarity began six years earlier, when Hedstrom was with CSE & Associates, the construction firm that originally built the house, assisting the original owners with the interiors in the process. Now at Wiseman & Gale Interiors, Hedstrom says of her second time working on the property: “I knew most everything about the house, inside and out, so I was instantly comfortable. It was kind of like working with an old friend.” The new owners, a couple in their 60s with a large family, were in search of a low-maintenance, warm-weather retreat when they were instantly taken with the two-story, rural Mediterranean-style structure. Originally designed by Aspen-based architect Jeffrey Berkus of Jeffrey Berkus Architects and built by Scott Edmunds and his team at CSE & Associates, the home’s open floor plan, lofty ceilings and walls of windows allow in copious amounts of natural light while taking full advantage of the majestic views. A great room, kitchen and master suite reside on the main floor with two guest rooms and a secondary gathering space upstairs. Outside, a casita with its own bedroom and bathroom sits near a negative-edge pool that appears to spill directly into the desert. “We really wanted a home whose size was manageable,” says the wife. “And we loved the house’s location with its city lights, views and proximity to everything. It was absolutely right for us.” Although no structural changes were necessary, the entire house needed to be furnished, and the wife had a clear vision. “She has a very polished aesthetic,” Hedstrom says.

“She wanted comfortable, clean lines and no clutter.” Adds the wife: “I wanted the home to be warm, friendly, whimsical and sophisticated. We sought something that was evocative of Arizona but in a subtle way.” An understated backdrop was also preferred to allow accent colors and the couple’s art collection to take center stage. Working closely with the owners, Hedstrom incorporated a design plan that would combine a variety of textures and finishes with both new furnishings and found pieces, creating relaxed yet refined spaces reflective of her clients’ personalities and lifestyle while also embracing their new Southwestern surroundings. Hedstrom began her plan with a neutral backdrop: The wide-plank wood floors were stained a muted gray, and white Venetian plaster was applied to the walls and polished to a high sheen. “The plaster adds enough shadow and movement to make it interesting without being obvious,” Hedstrom says. The designer’s previous experience with the house had her anticipating the challenge of finding accent colors that would stand out against the neutral base. “The
lighting in this area of Scottsdale can be tricky,” she says. “These houses have great outdoor living spaces with large overhangs that can make interior spaces appear dark.” In order to find just the right shades, Hedstrom says she packed her car with 12 bags of fabric and laid each sample out at the house. Ultimately, her clients chose a selection of taupes, reds, oranges, blues and yellows—colors that reminded Hedstrom of Arizona sunsets. Stepping through the iron-and-glass front door, guests are greeted by the gracious entry’s simple yet stylish vignette—an apt representation of the aesthetic found throughout the rest of the home. Here, a Mexican-style mirror hangs above a clean-lined console that displays items discovered during the homeowners’ travels. Nearby lies the centrally situated great room—a generous open living-dining space with a stone fireplace and an 11-foot-high ceiling constructed of reclaimed barn wood. To balance the rustic nature of the existing architectural elements, Hedstrom was deliberate about incorporating finer materials and lighter finishes in her
The patio, featuring both living and dining areas, looks out to the expansive lawn. In the distance is Gloster’s canopied daybed covered in fabric from Inside/Out.
Dunn-Edwards paint envelops the walls of the guesthouse bedroom, where a bed from Design Source wears linens from Valerianne of Scottsdale. Cleve Gray artwork from Bentley Gallery coordinates with the hues found in the Bradshaw Design bench covered in Highland Court fabric. The nightstand sports a Baker table lamp; the Paul Ferrante chandelier is from John Brooks Incorporated.
Below, left: In the guesthouse bedroom, a Hickory Chair seat sporting Kravet fabric rests on a rug from The Floor Collection Design; the side table is also by Hickory Chair. Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Custom Drapery fabricated the draperies, made from a Lee Jofa material purchased through Kravet. Below, right: A painted chest by Bradshaw Design and shutters made of reclaimed wood by Jose Castillo offer rustic charm in the guesthouse bedroom. A mirror from the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; collection sits next to a blue tray, which, along with the chest, offers the vignette a pop of color.

Originally designed by architect Jeffrey Berkus of Jeffrey Berkus Architects and built by Scott Edmunds of CSE & Associates, the home has an exterior that exudes the same casual yet polished look found inside. The homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rear elevation includes multiple seating areas and an expansive grass area. Brandon LaCombe of Desert Springs Outdoor Environments originally conceived the lush landscape.

design, such as linen drapery fabric in the living area and a glamorous iron-and-glass chandelier for the dining area. “It’s such a fun juxtaposition,” she says about the dining area’s fixture. “It’s a simple iron circle with lots of sparkle against a gnarly wood ceiling. A space becomes instantly more interesting when you add something unexpected.” Unexpected elements continue throughout. Although the master bedroom was previously dressed in grass cloth, Hedstrom had it removed and the walls refinished with a sunny yellow Venetian plaster. The new hue complements the adjoining bathroom, which features a zinc-and-porcelain tub surround and soft gold-colored marble. French doors lead to the backyard and offer views of the pool’s edge, the preserve and the twinkling city lights beyond. Because the couple spends as much time outdoors as inside, the landscape, originally designed by Brandon LaCombe of Desert Springs Outdoor Environments, includes an ample grassy area, which adds color and softness to the hard surfaces and provides plenty of space for grandchildren to play. Whether the homeowners are hosting dinners or cocktails on the terrace, enjoying a dip in the pool, reading by the fireplace or simply watching the sunset, Hedstrom made sure the exterior spaces not only looked polished but were also furnished to accommodate any activity. “I tried to bring the couple’s sense of style to life,” she says. “The entire house is welcoming, modest and understated— very much like my clients.”
Hedstrom created a clean design with warm colors for the master bedroom. An Ironware International bed is flanked by Woodland nightstands that feature Paul Ferrante table lamps from John Brooks Incorporated. A Bernhardt wooden armchair, along with a Hickory Chair seat and ottoman, offers respite. Draperies made from a Jim Thompson Fabrics material frame the scene.
