EDITOR’S LETTER
Clockwise from top left: M64 Pendant by Miguel Milá for Santa & Cole; a vignette from The Coveteur: Private Spaces, Personal Style by Stephanie Mark and Jake Rosenberg; vintage Cartier necklace; Navata fabric by Fortuny; and Petri vase by Elyse Graham.
What should your home give to you? In its purest form, it should impart beauty, honesty, delight, imperfection, and, perhaps, even a little wit or amusement. The environment that you create is essentially an extension of what you value and love, a reflection of your aesthetic sensibility. It’s something that ebbs and evolves over time yet (hopefully!) always feels authentic and true. It seems reasonable then that the space in which you live should be treated as a little haven in this world—a dwelling that makes the everyday seem that much more beautiful. This issue is largely dedicated to examining the concept of luxury, and our team connected with many artisans and designers who weighed in on the subject. It’s telling that a common thread runs through that collective dialogue: “Each piece has a story to tell.” “Collect things you love and want to have forever.” “The most luxurious of materials are also often the simplest.” “Home is sacred, and the items around us often have an emotional effect, so it is important to put a great deal of care into deciding what you allow into your space.” Wherever you reside, make home your greatest luxury.

Ingenuity “Much like a fitted suit, we design and build a personal space that will define and reflect the collector and their collection,” shares India Hynes of Vinotemp, a company dedicated to bespoke and luxurious wine storage. From cooling systems to wine cellars to wine furniture, Vinotemp has mastered the craft of storing, preserving and showcasing fine wines. “Modern wine design must move away from a one-dimensional approach and think of the wine room as a multidimensional canvas,” Hynes says. “The static, cluttered, restricted and unchanging wine room of the past must now evolve into a living stage, a place where it is possible to create an environment that alters old beliefs about space and structure and infuse new concepts that reflect the needs of today’s modern wine collector.” Vinotemp, based in Southern California, comprises a dynamic workforce, including woodworkers, cabinetmakers, artisans and designers. All of its work is handcrafted in the U.S. “At Vinotemp, it is not unusual to find a father and son working side by side, ensuring the safe passage of skill, knowledge and craftsmanship to the next generation,” she says.
WHAT DOES THE ART OF INSPIRATION MEAN TO YOUR BRAND?
Inspiration lies at the very core of Vinotemp’s culture. India Hynes, like her father before her, has traveled the world in search of new ideas and inspiration, as well as new technologies and industry trends.
WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF YOUR FIRM?
Vinotemp is a 30-year-old family business. Founder Francis Ravel was born in Casablanca, French Morocco, fought with the French Foreign Legion and landed in Hollywood as a leading man. After a lengthy movie career, Ravel found his passion of making and selling his own wine. This simple turn of fate led to the need to store his collection.
DESCRIBE THE CRAFTSMANSHIP BEHIND YOUR BRAND.
Vinotemp’s loyal workforce is bound together by a single thought: to create a product that will last for generations.

Luxe Interiors + Design Arizona continues to celebrate and engage in a variety of events. In May, we partnered with Saeed Aslam and Suzanne Daley of Alyshaan Fine Rugs for a Storytellers Breakfast at Toro Latin Restaurant. We also joined members of the design community at Scottsdale-based PHX Architecture for the firm’s open house, where the crowd bid farewell to founding principal Nikal Conti, and introduced Erik Peterson as president and Ron Skoog as a new principal. In June, Luxe enjoyed an intimate party at a model home of Paradise Valley’s The Village at Mountain Shadows, co-curated by IMI Design, Bulthaup Scottsdale, Cullum Homes and Roka Akor. Designers Anita Lang and Robert Moric shared their passion and philosophy behind the home’s design elements, including its modern great room. Also, be sure to find IFDA’s Take a Seat charity event ad in this issue, enjoy the chair preview at Scottsdale Fashion Square, and purchase tickets to the gala auction on October 14 (email info@ifdaaz.com for details).

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
ALANNA HALE
Photographer / San Francisco
TATE GUNNERSON Writer / Chicago
Memorable Luxe interview: While every single interview is fascinating in its own way, my conversation with the multifaceted Eric J. Nordstrom of Urban Remains in Chicago stands out. He left behind a career in scientific research to pursue his passion for history, architecture and salvage and has since amassed a significant collection of pieces. Is there a particular writer whose work has had an influence on you? Although I have an enduring appreciation for urban life and design of all kinds, Henry David Thoreau’s emphasis on nature and simplicity resonates with me more and more as the years go by. Who is the most interesting person you’ve ever met? Artist and potter Alessio Tasca. For decades, he created incredible pieces out of his rustic studio in the countryside just outside of Vicenza, Italy. What a life he’s lived! If I weren’t a writer, I would… Run a small bed-and-breakfast that would consist of stylish tiny homes, yurts and tree houses on a peaceful lake in the country. I’d also love to make a documentary at some point.
KARYN MILLET Photographer / Los Angeles My biggest creative influences come from… My travels. From Cuba to the Cotswolds in England, this year has been full of visual inspiration for design, color, light, composition and mood. I’m forever planning my next trip. Whose work has impacted you the most? My great-great-uncle, Francis Davis Millet. He was a famous artist who made me realize that art can be a career if you set your mind to it. He was last seen helping women and children into lifeboats off the Titanic, where he perished. What type of design inspires you? I love traditional with a twist. With architecture, I’m a big fan of the classics—Federal, Cape Cod and Spanish. I’m also intrigued by unexpected colors and fresh designs in interiors.
MINDY PANTIEL Writer / Colorado What do you find most enjoyable about the design industry? I like the ongoing integration of the art world into interior design. And I don’t mean finding art to match a sofa, but rather designers recognizing that allowing art to make its own statement only enhances and elevates a home’s interiors. Favorite element of design: Architecture. I am forever in awe of a great architect’s ability to shape a building and create spaces that are not only livable but also have a context. As a consequence, I like furnishings and accessories that make strong architectural statements. Most memorable Luxe interview: I spoke with a homeowner who shared that her husband had fallen in love with an enormous boulder weighing several tons on their property. So, as a birthday present, the wife arranged for a crane to move it near the front door so he could see it every day. The architecture and design of the house were already wonderful, but this was a reminder that the best stories (and homes) involve this kind of personal touch.

What is the best career advice you’ve received? “You don’t have to like it, but you should be proud of it.” It’s a way of saying that the path or experience isn’t always easy or fun, but it’s worth the fight to create great work in the end. And, while that uncomfortable place may sometimes be unpleasant, it’s also necessary. Role models: Stephen Shipps and Maria Koundoura, professors at Emerson College in Boston. They are both passionate, brilliant, patient and kind. Favorite Luxe shoot: Blacksmith Daniel Hopper was so much fun to work with, but with their humor and charm, Neil and Alix Curry of The Willow Farm are pretty hard to beat. Top three things on your design wish list: I would love to purchase a Hans Wegner Peacock chair, install flamingo wallpaper in my bathroom, and own a vintage caramel-colored Chesterfield sofa.

LUXURY in the DETAILS A LOOK AT LUXURY WITH HANDS-ON CREATIVES WHO ARE POWERING THE GROWING MAKERS-MATTER REVOLUTION. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA
Luxury has a million different meanings and permutations, a concept as unique as a fingerprint to each individual person: a warm cup of coffee on a chilly, overcast morning; the cool thrill of slipping into a freshly made bed with silk sheets; a day off with no obligations or competition for the television remote. One thing these definitions, and the countless others weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard while working on this issue, have in common, though, is that they all actively engage the senses. The greatest luxuries then are the things that inspire joy by the way they look, feel, smell, sound or tasteâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;many of which exist inside the home and have transcended their supporting roles in everyday life (think a bench, a sconce, a pillow) to take center stage due to the attention their makers have given to their creations. On the following pages, we talk to the artists, designers and craftspeople responsible for both breaking and making the mold and for ensuring even the smallest details feel like priceless treasures.

RADAR / COMMENTARY
“I don’t like trendy design; although, it’s essential to keep up with changing styles. When I design textiles, I like to create things that are timeless and can work in various styles of homes—things that can be appreciated decade after decade.” –MILI SULEMAN, KUFRILIFEFABRICS.COM
“Don’t bring it home unless you plan on living with it indefinitely. There’s so much disposability in consumer culture. Instead, collect things you love and want to have forever. Search for things that retain their value even when they’re well-used, worn or patinated.” –CODY HOYT, CODYHOYT.COM
I LOVE WORKING WITH WOOD. IT HAS SO MUCH CHARACTER ; EACH PIECE HAS A STORY TO TELL AND FEELS ALIVE TO ME. A LOT OF TIMES I EVEN SPECIFICALLY LOOK FOR SLABS WITH IMPERFECTIONS, WHICH WE THEN PATCH UP IN UNIQUE WAYS.” –FLORIAN ROEPER, STUDIOROEPER.COM
Clockwise from top right: Elyse Graham’s Petri vase; Pamela Sunday’s Sprocket sculpture; and Cody Hoyt’s Oblique vessel.
“The value in a handcrafted piece is the human connection. The digital age has made our world smaller and brought us together but left us longing for direct personal contact. I think there is an inherent comfort in owning a piece, which is made by hand, that addresses that void.” –ELYSE GRAHAM, ELYSEGRAHAM.COM
“Luxury is beauty and comfort combined. I have come to love a Martin Margiela smock that is threadbare from years of wear. My husband purchased it more than 20 years ago. When I put it on, I feel more like myself.” –PAMELA SUNDAY, PAMELASUNDAY.COM
“I am blown away by the work of artist Daniel Brush. His level of commitment, his total focus, his rabid attention to detail and his blend of the intellectual and the physical are just so impressive. I find myself on the verge of almost giving up when I see his work.” –VICTORIA REYNOLDS, TUELLREYNOLDS.COM

RADAR / COMMENTARY
“I’m continually impressed by how much a beautiful cup, the right bowl, a wellmade rug, a crafted table or an inspiring piece of art can move me. I never imagined the profound pleasure that someone else’s creativity could bring me each day.”
THE MOST LUXURIOUS OF MATERIALS ARE ALSO OFTEN THE SIMPLEST, WHETHER IT’S CLAY, WOOD, STONE OR NATURAL FIBERS. WOOD, IN PARTICULAR, IS SACRED TO OUR SURVIVAL, WITH TREES THEMSELVES OFTEN SERVING AS MARKERS OF THE PASSING OF TIME.”
–RUTH FRANCES GREENBERG, RUTHFRANCESGREENBERG.COM
“We’re compelled to create by nature; it’s a Zen state that’s hard to match and innate in all of us. I aim to make modern heirlooms and do work that is meant to be handled and not put on a pedestal. I often wonder where my pieces end up living and hope that they’re being passed down generationally as cherished objects.”
“We love the thought that our pieces could be passed down through generations. We put a lot of effort into creating solid, wellconstructed objects. We also use the best materials that we feel are correct for each individual design and are compelled to make each piece as good as it can be.” –JAMEY GARZA, GARZAMARFA.COM
–TUCKER ROBBINS, TUCKERROBBINS.COM
“The ethos of handcrafted work is incomparable to that of mass-market products. Our work comes from a place of deliberation over design, aesthetic, structure, form and function. Each piece is handmade to order, so we know for whom and for what space we’re making it.” –DAVID WEEKS, DAVIDWEEKSSTUDIO.COM

RADAR / COMMENTARY
“Every painting is a struggle between what you want it to be and what the painting wants to be. Most of the time, painting is wrestling, but every once in a while, something unexpected happens— something beyond what I’ve planned or intended.” –STELLA MARIA BAER, STELLAMARIABAER.COM
“Luxuries, to me, are things that create ‘wow’ moments in our days—like when you sink into a down sofa and have no desire to be anywhere else or when you experience the pleasure of running your hands across the top of a table made from an exquisite, oneof-a-kind piece of wood that’s been skillfully finished to perfection.” –CATALINA ECHAVARRIA, CEUSTUDIO.COM
From top: The Pivot chandelier by Brendan Ravenhill; CEU Studio’s handwoven Reed bed.
MY PROCESS IS NOT LUXURIOUS AT ALL. THERE HAS BEEN BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS THAT HAVE GONE INTO MANY OF THE THINGS THAT I HAVE CREATED—A LOT OF BAD BEFORE YOU GET TO THE GOOD—BUT I CAN’T IMAGINE NOT DOING IT. THE PROCESS BRINGS ME SO MUCH JOY.” –MEGAN ADAMS BROOKS, MEGANADAMSBROOKS.COM
“If you’re going to splurge on anything, let it be lighting— it has the greatest ability to transform a space. No matter how nice the objects in a particular room are, if the lighting’s not right, you’re not going to spend as much time there. Beyond how it looks, too, be sure to examine what kind of light it casts.” –BRENDAN RAVENHILL, BRENDANRAVENHILL.COM
“When creating something that people will one day bring into their homes, I always try to subscribe to Shaker design philosophy: Don’t make something unless it is necessary and useful. But if it is both necessary and useful, don’t forget to make it beautiful.” –SEEMA KRISH, SEEMAKRISH.COM
“We absolutely keep the idea of collecting in mind when making things. We want to create pieces that can be preserved and last for multiple generations. We try to make art that is immersive and made by multiple artists, and we like the fact that furniture and usable art can be hard to swallow as an art form.” –NANA SPEARS, FORTMAKERS.COM

RADAR / BEHIND THE BRAND
Everything Is Illuminated DESIGNER JONATHAN BROWNING USES HIS PASSION FOR HISTORY AND AGELESS STYLE TO CREATE LIGHTING THAT WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME. WRITTEN BY SHANNON SHARPE PORTRAIT BY ALANNA HALE
Change in approach: When I first started, I was doing everything by hand, but I quickly discovered that my designs would have to be made in a foundry because they were too complex. I only work with the best of the best: Cirecast. Material matters: For the first seven years, we used cast bronze almost exclusively, but as our
SCONCE PHOTO: GRANT PETERSON.
When Jonathan Browning founded his eponymous company in 2003, he was positive of one thing: He was going to make the best lighting in the industry. “I wanted to create pieces that would outlast the people that bought them,” he says. Through designing each item by hand, using the best quality materials and producers, and taking a new approach to old ideas, Browning has proven that being the best isn’t about labels, but about commitment. In his latest offering, the Montalembert sconce, the designer shows us thoughtfulness once again with a machined-byhand lamp with a hand-polished solid-brass base and a hand-carved and polished lead-crystal shade. “Luxury is about authenticity,” says Browning. “It is about respecting your materials and deferring to what your design is trying to say and do. It’s about doing the right thing over the easy thing.”
Jonathan Browning in his San Francisco headquarters next to the Dornstab floor lamp, originally designed by J.T. Kalmar and re-edited by Browning. His Montalembert sconce is shown below, left.
repertoire expanded, we introduced brass and then lead crystal. I’d always wanted to use lead crystal because it’s such a beautiful alternative to glass. Crème de la crème: My passion has always been industrial design, but I’m also a big fan of French Beaux Arts. The French essentially studied every element of classical design, learning the rules so that they could break them and introduce something the world had never seen. Luxury suite: To me, Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont is the height of luxury. It’s incredible to go into a room that was so beautifully designed in the 1920s and that has been restored but not fussed over. It is like stepping into an old photograph.
Hero worship: Otto Wagner gave voice to industrial design as a decorative language. I also admire Stanford White, who was really the first decorator; he would bring architectural elements from Italy and France and build whole rooms for them. Finally, I consider Louis Comfort Tiffany a genius of massively misunderstood proportion. He is often dismissed as being a little known stained-glassed window and lamp designer, which is insane. Beauty statement: The construction of the Montalembert sconce is what gives it its beauty. The electrical work flows through the brass tube, curving downward and back up, never touching the crystal shade; the armature is just there to cradle the crystal. The result is like sculpture.

AT ANN SACKS, ART, CRAFT AND A DOSE OF SCIENCE MEET TO CREATE THE COMPANY’S SIGNATURE LINE OF TILES. WRITTEN BY LISA BINGHAM DEWART
These days, the transformation of an Ann Sacks tile from rough sketch to finished tile takes place in a sprawling Portland, Oregon, factory. However, the company’s dedication to craft, along with some of the same kilns, remains the same as it did nearly a quarter century ago when the founder of the eponymous company decided to add to her line of tile imported from Mexico with her own signature collection. The story continues in a quiet corner of the factory. There, a skilled craftsman—who goes by Gerbert—translates ideas conceived by Ann Sacks’ in-house design team and by notable collaborating designers, such as Robert
Kuo, Kelly Wearstler and Laura Kirar, into the first stages of a new tile addition to the core Made by Ann Sacks collection. “He’s a true artist,” says DeeDee Gundberg, director of product development. “He takes the design from concept to drawing to understand the repeat before transitioning it to a wax model.” From there, Gundberg and her colleagues tweak the design and make changes. “Maybe it’s just softening a corner,” says Justin Burgin, team leader of finished goods, or, “refining a line to make it slightly thinner.” Then, a wax model gets made to create a rubber positive, which in turn is used to create the mold. Finally,

Ann Sacks’ signature line of earthenware and stoneware tiles, the Made by Ann Sacks collection, offers a rainbow of colors and a mind-boggling assortment of textures, shapes and sizes.
the prototype is fired and ready for glazing. It’s a critical step, since glazes can behave differently. And, notes Burgin, “Things stand out more when glazed, so it’s critical to see if any flaws appear.” Once the design is complete, the tile is ready to be put into production, joining a dizzying array of colors (over 150!) and shapes from hexagons, arabesques and scallops to the ever-popular subway tile, not to mention textures, including the Ann Sacks Modern Ribbed tiles, a recent introduction. “It’s extremely important we stay relevant,” says Gundberg. The company produces both earthenware and stoneware designs from locally sourced clay. Earthenware, the first type of
tile the company produced, allows for solid glossy or matte glazes, while the stoneware body lends itself to more decorative shapes. For basic shapes, production starts when the wet clay goes through an extruder, where it’s flattened and then cut into slugs before being loaded into presses to make specific shapes. For some tiles, including all the stoneware offerings, the designs are stamped by hand. Afterward, the tiles spend 12 to 15 hours drying before they’re ready to be biscuit-fired in the continuous kiln—a hulking piece of machinery that takes the tile up to 1,976 degrees Fahrenheit and back to room temperature in as little as 80 minutes. Then, it’s
onto the glazing area, where the pieces are either glazed on the line or hand-sprayed. Each tile in the Made by Ann Sacks collection is touched by at least seven people during its transformation. Burgin is quick to point out that a little piece of everyone involved in the production goes into the finished product. “They’re incredibly passionate about it,” he says. During factory tours, design lovers see that firsthand. “They’re blown away by the handmade process, the artisanal quality and the craftsmanship they see,” says Gundberg. “The story is extremely important to tell, so they understand what went into the making of that tile.”
RADAR / DEBUT
Best part about working with Theodore Alexander on your new collection, Califolio? The first thing the team at Theodore Alexander told me when we began to work together was “design like you have no constraints,” and I immediately understood why. Their capabilities are endless; they have their own foundry and handle their own finishing and leather fabrication. It allowed me to create exactly what I wanted: a large, ambitious collection (of over 75 pieces!) with a real wabi-sabi flavor and plenty of interesting textures and finishes. Share your inspiration for the collection. The size of the collection enabled me to combine a lot of the different things I’m influenced by: organic design and materials, as well as American Art Deco modernism.
WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA
I also wanted to create a dialogue here that speaks to Los Angeles’ eclecticism, to the way we celebrate the melting pot of cultures that make up our community and how we’ve learned to mix both high and low, elegance and simplicity in our homes. Do you have a favorite piece? They’re all special to me, but I’m especially proud of the work we did on the Flint table (shown). To bring that piece to life, we had to work with Theodore Alexander to add new finishes and techniques to its repertoire. For example, for the handsome oak tabletop, we designed a finish called Sandalwood for a rich, honey color; then, to take it even further, we put it through a wire-brushing process before hitting it with white cerused wax and a very, very fine steel wood for a satin finish.
It also has a beautiful base. Yes! The Flint table also features another new finish called Foundry, a lovely metallic that gives the base the illusion of being cast in bronze. In reality, the base is fabricated resin, which makes it easier to render its river rock-shaped cutouts. I’ve always been attracted to anything curvilinear or kidney-shaped. These silhouettes, popular in the 1940s through ’60s, are some of my favorite things from that period of modernism. Dream meal to serve on this table? A fantastic L.A.-inspired lunch with fresh, homemade heirloom tomato salsa with chipotle peppers, vegetarian tacos with avocado and peppers, and delicious BBQ shrimp skewers. It’s a great example of what entertaining in California is all about: flavor and quality and health. Just don’t forget the gluten-free corn tortillas!

@sonorahandmade WHO: Jenny Clark, a Scottsdale-based creative gifted in the art of textile design who grew up with a love of knitting and sewing that blossomed into a successful career weaving covetable wall hangings. WHAT: Expect an oxymoron of sorts: a visually tactile experience with close-ups of fluffy wools in nuanced palettes of soft blush and cream tones. Also, you’ll be treated to plenty of in-progress shots, snaps of finished pieces in their final homes on the walls of Clark’s happy clients and behind-the-scenes glimpses into the artist’s light-filled studio.
IN HER WORDS: “Fiber arts add such warmth and texture to a room and usually have a wonderful story to go with them. Whether it’s weaving, macramé or another form of fiber, I am always drawn to any space where I see it displayed.”
BLUEPRINT THE PALMERAIE
A striking architectural structure is springing up this year against the beautiful backdrop of the Sonoran Desert. And thanks to the pioneering efforts of Five Star Development, it isn’t a mirage—despite the new building’s surroundings of lush foliage and a magical water garden—but rather a new retail, dining and hotel destination. Situated on an 18-acre parcel, The Palmeraie will be home to more than 60 luxury shops and high-end cuisine options. The architectural vision of The Palmeraie is being spearheaded by Nelsen Partners, whose vision includes marrying indoor spaces with the outdoors to create unique visual experiences, blurring the realms of architecture and landscape. thepalmeraie.com
THE INSIDER JEROME SCHAREN
There’s an ineffable quality to a Plinth & Co decorative screen: The sharp contrast of brass and steel, the meticulous precision of a hand-brushed finish and the drama of architectural curves and lines are just a few of the striking details owner Jerome Scharen pores over when designing his pieces. Borrowing inspiration from antique screens he encountered while in Paris, Scharen brings these decorative items into the modern era. “I loved that they were objets d’art that served a real function at the time,” he says, “and while they would be fantastically expensive to duplicate manually today, I saw an opportunity to use technology, like laser cutters, to achieve a similar look and feel.” With as much attention as he gives to his screens, Scharen gives us the lowdown on what’s hot in his Phoenix hometown. plinthco.com Local stomping grounds: It’s a tie between Red Modern Furniture and Modern Manor, two midcentury furniture showrooms I love, and Relics Architectural Home and Garden, which houses an eclectic collection of antiques from Europe. Each space offers more than just pretty objects, blending originality and craft with enduring design. I always find something to admire in these spaces. For the art enthusiast: A local artist whose work I enjoy is Maurice Hamburger. He is an old-world-style blacksmith who makes wonderful, whimsical iron sculptures that are beautifully crafted and always make me smile. He displays pieces at Art One Gallery, Inc., another place I love, as it provides a rare showcase for local student-artists. On the horizon: Plinth & Co’s aim is to make gorgeous products that designers can be proud to incorporate into their projects. Our emphasis is on fine craftsmanship and quality, and Phoenix offers the perfect location to fabricate these things locally. Next up, we’re looking to expand our product offerings into custom fireplace screens.

It is not static, but instead evolves with the season, with the hour of the day, and thus tells a story of its unique place in the world. These are the homes we design. Our designs are not defined by imported historic styles or the latest fashion trends, but instead are born exclusively of our clients unique program needs, their values and the spirit of the land they have chosen to call home.

Signature: Kate Spade has really revolutionized the accessory business, and the brand continues to do so with other categories that help shape the well-lived lifestyle. Material: Velvet and leather have a tendency to be soft and sexy; in this case, they cause an understated juxtaposition with the structural and industrial brass legs. Fashion x Interiors: I believe that the definition of luxury changes from time to time. For now, the focus is more about comfort, ease and access in both fashion and interiors—a quiet luxury à la well-crafted and beautifully designed pieces. Necessary Extravagance: However you define luxury, bring it about as often as you can.

THE PIECE: Syrie Stools THE DESIGNER: Kate Spade New York FIND IT: katespade.com THE INSPIRATION: From the clean piping of the cushions to the fearlessly feminine brass legs, the Syrie stools epitomize exactly what Kate Spade New York has always been about: classic design with a twist. Here, buttery leather and blush cut velvet keep the seats au courant, while the cut of the legs adds an unexpected edge, proving that the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature ethos is sure to always keep us on our toes.

GOLD MINE THE PIECE: Iolite Table Lamp THE DESIGNER: Jean-Louis Deniot FIND IT: bakerfurniture.com THE INSPIRATION: The Iolite table lamp is one clever chameleon, sparking a curious source of inspiration. And that is exactly what Jean-Louis Deniot intended to do with this striking design made of brass and alabaster. Fashioning an organic, naturalistic shape, the French design luminary left the product open to interpretation: Is it a shell encasing a pearl or a peacock feather? Either way, this sculptural piece provokes conversation and brightens any space it inhabits.
JONATHAN MEIZLER
FASHION DESIGNER & FOUNDER TITLEOFWORK.COM
Heritage: Baker’s craftsmanship has been highly regarded from its inception, and to this day, the quality stands up to its name. Material: I am intrigued by the artful contrasts in Deniot’s design—the hard and soft, the smooth and the liquid, the metallic and the organic; together, they strike a beautiful balance and create harmony. Recall: A striking piece like Deniot’s anchors a room or creates a conversation. It evokes a memory, dream or inspiration. To me, it feels a little Deco. Necessary Extravagance: Luxury is all about dreaming. It’s being able to afford to have the time to grasp the unnecessary. Time is our biggest luxury. Fashion x Interiors: If you don’t need it, it’s luxury, and that applies across any category.
HAYDEN LASHER HANDBAG DESIGNER HAYDENLASHER.COM
Signature: Celerie Kemble’s designs are fresh yet traditional, and many of her pieces feel as if they could have been handed down through generations— the perfect combination of contemporary and nostalgia. Details: These boxes epitomize luxury because they don’t just serve a purpose; they are also special and artistic. The devil is in the details, and there is no better way to tie a space together than with the accessories. Recall: They remind me of a box my grandmother used to keep in her library that was full of matchbooks she collected from her travels around the world. Composition: The way the boxes are enveloped by de Le Cuona’s lush linen makes it feel like you have just unwrapped a gift. Fashion x Interiors: Kemble’s mixture of rattan and brass reads as smart, distinctive and tailored—a winning combination in all facets of design.
TREASURE TROVE THE PIECE: Rattan & Brass Boxes THE DESIGNER: Celerie Kemble FIND IT: maitland-smith.com THE INSPIRATION: It’s no question that Celerie Kemble is a fan-favorite, and her chic and livable interiors have effortlessly translated into an accessories line with Maitland-Smith. Case in point: these rattan and brass boxes, envisaged with a modern blend of natural materials and a glimmer of glamour—an adored Kemble trademark.

GREAT HEIGHTS THE PIECE: Fulcrum Candlesticks THE DESIGNER: Lee Broom FIND IT: leebroom.com THE INSPIRATION: Once again, Lee Broom takes us to another level with his just-the-right-amount-of-edge Fulcrum candlesticks. Exploring the capabilities of pivots and supports, Broom employed solid Carrara marble to put his ideas into practice. Considering the products’ colossal and sculptural presence, one is easily reminded that these are indeed not your grandmother’s candlesticks.
KARLA GALLARDO, COFOUNDER & CEO SHILPA SHAH, COFOUNDER & CXO CUYANA.COM
Detail: Luxury is in the details, and Lee Broom’s candlesticks have been carefully conceptualized; his vision and modernity are very in-line with the Cuyana aesthetic. Material: Marble is so rich and transcendent yet its natural texture commands attention in a subtly powerful way. Fashion x Interiors: The two run parallel in that rich materials and beautiful craftsmanship are of equal importance. Incorporating these precious finds into your home— and closet—can make the everyday feel elevated. Timelessness: It’s important to bring the customer back to the essence of a product through its materials and design. To invest in luxury is to invest in something that will bring you comfort and gratification for years to come.
CUTTING EDGE THE PIECE: Alchemy Table THE DESIGNERS: Lauren Larson and Christian Swafford FIND IT: material-lust.com THE INSPIRATION: The self-described “dark horses of design” enamor us with the latest addition to their Geometry is God collection: the Alchemy table. In maintaining a keen focus on their Solitarian design philosophy and distinct aesthetic, this piece—driven by the alchemical symbolism for air, earth, fire and water—personifies the duo’s fascination and commitment to ancient symbols and a proclivity to reinterpret these markings in contemporary and striking ways.
LELA ROSE
FASHION DESIGNER LELAROSE.COM
Continuity: Lauren and Christian have such a strong aesthetic that is present in really every piece they design—I always respect a dedication to an artistic ideal. Material: Brass, both polished and brushed (as in this case), always screams luxury to me. Recall: The calculated proportions and mixed-metal finishes are reminiscent of the Cubism period. Composition: I love the rough yet lavish vibe of the background textile, which especially complements the brilliant polish and high design of the Alchemy table. Evolution: I don’t think that luxury and formality are mutually exclusive. I want to feel luxurious in what I wear, the quality of it, how it fits the body; similarly, I want to cultivate pieces for my home that evoke that same feeling. Big or small, whether you wear it or just admire it, luxury goods bring you joy.

CRAFTSMANSHIP
IN THE 21 CENTURY ST
Technology has influenced and affected every industry in design—its ubiquity has forced even the most ardent of purists to adapt in one way or another. But simply adapting is not enough: The survival of today’s leading manufacturers of luxury, bespoke goods has been contingent upon their ability to find an equilibrium between handmade and high-tech. “The Mark of the Maker” takes a look inside some of the most respected companies in their fields, recognized for their painstakingly intricate building processes and commitment to pre-modern artisanal forms of production.

THE MARK OF THE MAKER
SUN VALLEY BRONZE When Bob and Debbie Commons started Sun Valley Bronze over 20 years ago near the resort town of Sun Valley, Idaho, the goal was to create something better, more durable and with greater integrity than what was already on the market. Bob was in the high-end residential building industry, and Debbie was drafting architectural plans; they observed a void in the market when it came to the finish details for high-end residences. Sun Valley Bronze succeeded in fulfilling its objectives and has grown into a leading manufacturer of fine architectural hardware. A factor that has propelled the company to the upper echelon of decorative hardware is its ability to adapt to change in the marketplace, from design preferences to technological advances in conceptualization and building. “When Sun Valley Bronze first started, all patterns were made in a wood shop by hand. Today, we are using state-of-the-art 3-D modeling software and CNC milling machines that are all manufactured in California at the Haas CNC factory. We collaborate with Boise State University to realize some of our more complicated designs with 3-D printing technology,” Bob explains. Sun Valley Bronze’s work, known for its simple, clean and timeless qualities, is driven by ergonomics and process. “Service and quality are the most important parts of our company,” he says. “We are focused on making products we are proud of, crafted of the highest quality materials and made in the U.S., and we back it up with friendly, prompt and honest service.”
“
Our clients are looking for one-ofa-kind products designed to last.
INSIDE SUN VALLEY BRONZE Fresh + favorite collections. Sun Valley Bronze is excited to introduce its new lighting collection, including the freestanding Otto lamp. A favorite of Bob’s is the patented adjustable ball-bearing hinge, which is a resounding success because it works so flawlessly. Provenance. Sun Valley Bronze designs and manufactures all of its products proudly in the U.S. Newly acquired. Sun Valley Bronze purchased Reveal Designs, which manufactures exceptional modern hardware, all designed by its worldrenowned design partners. Artistic update. Sun Valley Bronze is now casting brass in addition to its white and silicon bronze. Fun family fact. The lock key cover was designed by the Commons’ son Josh. He designed it to fit his thumbprints so the cover could easily be pushed from side to side. That small interaction with the hardware guided his process and is why the key cover has the unique ridge in the face of the design.
1. Assembly. Sun Valley Bronze hardware assembly includes stainless steel components and Teflon-coated springs for flawless function and to ensure longevity in humid or coastal climates. 2. Casting. The furnace heats the bronze to a pouring temperature of 2250° Fahrenheit.

When LEE envisions new designs for upholstery, it is the refinement of the design that makes our product unique. The details make the difference in our products—the contour of a leg, the seaming of a cushion, the grain of the wood, the curvature of the silhouette, the geometric precision of a frame, the hand tufting of the back—these become the stars of the show. Have your practices changed to keep up with new technologies? Absolutely! In manufacturing, all of our products are drawn in CAD, and our vendors must be able to receive all files in CAD, as well. Our cutting is done on automated cutters with talented operators making sure to achieve the highest yield of any fabric or leather used.

The hallmark of Hubbardton Forge lighting is design that is graceful and unembellished, allowing the materials and forms to speak for themselves.
HUBBARDTON FORGE
”
A dynamic and diverse mélange of creative talent converges at the Hubbardton Forge headquarters in Castleton, Vermont, where one-of-a-kind, sculptural lighting is brought to life through deft craftsmanship and ingenuity. A team of more than 225 designers, artisans, metal crafters, welders, production staff members and customer service professionals contributes to Hubbardton Forge’s long-standing success and designation as one of the U.S.’s most esteemed lighting manufacturers. In addition to its exclusively made-in-America practices, Hubbardton Forge is unwavering in its use of quality materials and artful, handcreated building methodologies. “At Hubbardton Forge, we are designers and makers; each piece is made to order, whether a single piece or every corridor of a hotel,” explains David Kitts, Design Director of the company. “Each fixture will have its own personality brought forth from the fires of the forge.” Blending the time-honored with the avant-garde, Hubbardton Forge continues to find equilibrium in a technologically driven marketplace. “We still use the hammer and anvil on some designs, but technology, especially LEDs, has had a major impact on our practices. The light source is no longer secondary in the design development process but is now often the driver in the design,” Kitts says. “Working with a local LED manufacturer, we’re able to do things we never thought possible. We can bend the lighting element to become an integral part of a fixture’s sculpture, or we can suspend the metal sculpture and envelop it with a wash of up/down light from an LED light guide platform that is part of its forged steel frame.” 1

THE DESIGN PROCESS Who: The designers at Hubbardton Forge come from backgrounds in architecture, engineering and even jewelry design. They possess a wealth of knowledge and a deep respect for all art forms. What: Designers work individually and as a team, brainstorming, sketching, meeting and critiquing, often pushing themselves and each other to create designs that celebrate form, materials and artistry that can only be achieved through handcrafted design. Where: American-made, in Castleton, Vermont. Why: To merge “art and illumination.” “Given the choice, don’t we want our lives to be illuminated artfully throughout the day?” asks Hubbardton Forge’s V.P. of Marketing, Jeanne-Marie Gand.

DACOR
Innovation and heritage are both honored in the creation and execution of DACOR-made appliances. DACOR (Distinctive Appliance CORporation) was incorporated in 1965 in Los Angeles; however, its origins date back to the Stananthony Corp., established in 1948 by Stan and Anthony Joseph. The company was founded on the credo of “innovations that matter,” which was reflected in its first product: a complete self-contained kitchen ventilation hood system for the high-end residential market. This credo is still woven into DACOR’s corporate ethos and can be seen in the many industry firsts credited to the brand. “We don’t innovate to be fashionable,” says Michael West, director of marketing at DACOR. “We only pursue innovations that will matter and make a tangible difference to the home chef. A great example is the DACOR iQ product that integrates a computer tablet into the oven operation.” Founded and based in California, DACOR finds inspiration in the design, technological, educational and entrepreneurial subcultures that distinguish the state and seeks influence and insight from other industries and leading professionals in their field. “DACOR’s design team pays attention to technology changes, such as induction cooking and control methods like integrating Android tablets for better performance and usability. DACOR taps outside talent such as BMW Designworks USA and the chefs at Le Cordon Bleu (who have tested and recommended our cooking products) to improve its offerings to keep them cutting-edge,” West explains.

BERNHARDT Bernhardt-built: It’s a legacy that honors hundreds of beautifully made furnishings crafted over a century. One of the largest family-owned companies in the country, Bernhardt is led today by the fourth generation of Bernhardts, enabling the firm’s rich history to live on through a deeply committed familial leadership. From its earliest days, furniture making has been an artisanal skill, passed down from generation to generation. Bernhardt honors the origins of the craft—as do its employees. “Over the 127 years we’ve been in business, generations of artisans have passed their expertise on to the next, while incorporating new technologies and innovative ways of making furniture,” shares Alex Bernhardt Jr., Bernhardt’s CEO and president. “The creativity, ingenuity and dedication of countless fathers and mothers, sons and daughters and husbands and wives form the bedrock of our company.” Founded in 1889 by John Mathias Bernhardt, Alex Bernhardt Jr.’s great-grandfather, Bernhardt was born upon the tenets of high-caliber materials, craftsmanship and people. “Leveraging the region’s natural resources and local woodworking skills to strengthen the local economy, he [John] opened his factory with vast ambitions and 25 employees. Our original guiding principle was quality craftsmanship in all our products and a responsibility and partnership with the people of our community,” Alex explains. Bernhardt’s case goods and upholstery are cherished and coveted globally, showcasing thoughtful originality and meticulous execution: they can be found adorning the interiors of posh five-star hotels, private residences and revered public institutions. “Our hope is that when someone looks at a piece of furniture, they will know it is Bernhardt by its style,” he says.

PERSONAL TOUCH IN THE HOME’S BUSIEST SPACES, LUXURY MEANS DITCHING COOKIE-CUTTER STYLE FOR HIGHLY CUSTOM LOOKS THAT ARE BRIMMING WITH ONE-OF-A-KIND PANACHE. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA
There is no staple recipe for the perfect kitchen or bath. And while a few tried-and-true formulas can get you pretty close (think one-part design inspiration from your favorite shelter magazine, one-part your preferred color and material palettes and two-parts whatever works for your family and lifestyle), the time it takes to cook up all the elements varies widely from person to person and project to project. Only one thing remains consistent: The most successful rooms in the home are those you fill with the things you love. The secret to design bliss is knowing when to break the rules in favor of additions—like an elegant chandelier over a freestanding tub or a bold rug in the kitchen—that make you uniquely happy. On the following pages, we convince some of Luxe’s favorite designers to spill the secrets behind their most-coveted—and therefore inherently covetable—spaces.

Interior designer Laura Burleson didn’t overlook a single detail in designing her casual yet sophisticated workhorse space but still managed to have plenty of fun, playing with texture and color and introducing unexpected elements throughout. lauraburleson.com
Favorite element in the space? The campaignstyle sink base. I fell in love with a giant vintage chest in London during the remodel, but its dimensions were off; instead, I had a cabinetmaker build a replica out of walnut and brass hardware.
Share the vision for your kitchen. I wanted the space to feel like a dining room that happens to have a kitchen on the periphery, rather than a kitchen with a table in the middle; so, I eliminated traditional upper cabinets and designed the cabinetry to look more like furniture.
How did you master the mix? In this space, the walnut sink base and cypress ceilings dictated the palette, so I used Farrow & Ball’s Elephant’s Breath on the cabinetry, hood and walls to unite the wooden undertones—thereby drawing the eye to the more dominant elements.

A study in contrasts, this bathroom’s warm brass faucets from Waterworks pop against a palette of whites and grays established by floor tiles from New Ravenna. The washstand is from Palmer, and the sconces are from Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co.
When interior designer Marianne Simon decided she wanted to capture a bit of coastal elegance in a Seattle bathroom, she could think of only one material that would bring her vision to life: brass. Used sparingly throughout— on the cool nautical-style mirrored medicine cabinets from RH, the seafaring sconces overhead, and the pretty-as-a-picture washstand and matching faucets—the brass both pops against the clean subway tiles and reins in the dizzying intrigue of the abstract tiles underfoot. “Brass, especially the unlacquered brass I used here, is really hot right now,” Simon says. “It patinas beautifully and adds warmth. It’s a great alternative to other finishes, especially in spaces you don’t want to feel too sweet. It truly just gets better and better with time.” mariannesimondesign.com 242 / LUXESOURCE.COM

REAL ESTATE INSIDERS DISH ON THE STATE OF THE LUXURY HOME MARKET: WHAT’S SELLING, WHO’S BUYING, AND WHAT’S HOT NOW. WRITTEN BY MIMI FAUCETT
ON THE MARKET When we asked Jacksonville interior designer Jim Howard to share his design philosophy, he quoted Winston Churchill, saying, “My tastes are simple. I am easily satisfied by the best.” These words seem to ring even truer today, especially when we look at the current state of luxury real estate. To the high-end homebuyer (or seller), today’s unlimited options and unprecedented modern amenities have created a whole new world of knowledge and access, but one thing has remained constant: When it comes to home, we want the best—the best home or condo, in the best neighborhood, on the best block, with all the bells and whistles. And what does that mean in today’s market? Here, we speak with some of the industry’s biggest power players—from a renowned home stager with an eye for what sells to the nation’s top real estate agents—to find out what’s prompting bidding wars all over the country.
THE LOOK / THE REPORT
WE ASKED FIVE TOP REAL ESTATE AGENTS ABOUT THE TRENDS THEY’RE SEEING IN THEIR OWN BACKYARDS.
GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT
1
THE RIGHT LIGHT
The right lighting can make—or break—the sale of your home. A successful lighting scheme comprises a harmonious mixture of ambient, task and accent lighting, so a homeowner can easily choose the mood of the room and increase its functionality. The rule of thumb in interior lighting is to layer all three. Volker Haug’s Discus fixture (shown here) covers all the bases. It is simple and efficient with one exposed bulb, but its decorative marble disks, paired with a brushed-brass finish, create interest and add a pop of color. volkerhaug.com
Which neighborhood is the safest bet for a return on investment? In Greenwich, I don’t think of a specific area as having a better return on investment, but rather a home itself. I also believe that we have gone back to buying a home to live in and for family, not just for investment. Unless, of course, you are an investor looking to invest. Where do new buyers want to be? I have been fortunate enough to have young buyers looking to stay in the urban core and others opting for the suburbs. Barbara Zaccagnini, Coldwell Banker, coldwellbanker.com
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA Most outrageous home you’ve ever sold? An 11,000-square-foot concretesteel-and-glass contemporary estate, all on one level, in Paradise Valley on one of the best streets in town. Which neighborhood is having a moment? Rio Verde Foothills is making national news thanks to its dedication to sustainability practices. What do buyers want? Contemporary architecture has become very popular
since we over-delivered Tuscan and Mediterranean design for the past 15 years. Most buyers are favoring open-floor plans, clean lines and an efficient use of space. Where do buyers want to be? Arizona buyers should be zeroing in on the 85253, 85255 and 85018 area codes. Frank Aazami, Sotheby’s, sothebysrealty.com
have, offices in the central business district and that is where their employees want to live. Traffic is a problem in Austin; so, proximity to where you work and spend your free time is essential. Which neighborhoods should we be keeping our eyes on? I would watch the areas close to the new Dell Medical School and the redevelopment of Waller Creek. These two pillars in Austin will be changing our city. Laura Gottesman, Gottesman Residential Real Estate, gottesmanresidential.com
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Which neighborhood is having a moment? The North Shore is well-established, but there is also a ton of new construction in reinvigorated areas, some of which are being built up by prominent developers. Where does everyone want to be? Millennials are staying in the urban core for an easy commute; they often do not have cars. Families and other age groups are still opting for the suburbs due to lower taxes, schools and the desire for a quieter lifestyle. Linda Martin, Coldwell Banker, coldwellbanker.com
AUSTIN, TEXAS Where does everyone want to be this season? Our urban core is booming in both commercial and residential development. Many of the big tech companies have, or will
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON Most outrageous home you’ve ever sold? The highest priced home we have sold to date was over $20 million, and it still holds the record for the highest sale in Washington. It was an unbelievable custom home on the water with beachfront, looking directly at the Seattle skyline. Neighborhoods we should keep an eye on? Areas east and north of the city are seeing a lot of growth and redevelopment. We are excited about The Spring District in Bellevue and what that will bring to those areas. What locale is having a moment? The West Bellevue community on the east side of Seattle has seen the greatest appreciation year over year. Tere Foster and Moya Skillman, Team Foster at Avenue Properties, fosterrealty.com

Meridith Baer knows what sells. Her namesake home staging firm, which was started by accident in 1995 when she fixed up a home she was leasing and the landlord took notice, has grown from a one-woman show in Los Angeles to a team of 250 operating offices in L.A., Manhattan, the Hamptons, Connecticut, Florida and San Francisco. Just last year, her busy roster of designers completed nearly 1,500 installs. “Really what staging is, is a marketing tool,” says Baer. “We want someone to walk into a home and fall in love.” meridithbaer.com Why does someone need a stager? When you want to sell a house quickly and for the best possible price, a stager is a near necessity. You’re designing a blank room. First item you introduce to the space? Your large pieces of furniture are where you must start. You want to find the focus of the room—it might be a view or a fireplace—and plan your seating arrangement around it. Homebuyers are looking for... Comfort and ease. Buyers should think: It’s going to be easy to live here. It’s going to be easier than where I am now. Share what always helps a sale. A beautifully made, comfortable sofa that you just want to dive into really makes a space. Having quality primary pieces makes a big difference in a room.
4 OPEN HOUSE NEW YORK
A DRAMATIC LOFT IN TRIBECA Tucked inside an industrial-style loft in downtown New York City is a grand home currently owned by J.Crew CEO Mickey Drexler. As stylish and colorful as expected, the Thierry Despontdesigned home features an entry inspired by the Maison de Verre in Paris, a rooftop terrace and lofty ceilings. Why we love it: The five-bedroom stunner was once an old coffee roasting plant whose signage still remains, adding to its charm. $27.5 million, 464 Greenwich St.; corenyc.com

A WATERFRONT SANCTUARY ON THE BEACH If you were to imagine what Calvin Klein’s home might look like, there’s no doubt his now for-sale Miami Beach retreat would fit the bill. The open and airy interiors by Axel Vervoordt are minimally decorated with crisp neutral tones, unfinished materials, sturdy antiques and handmade furniture. Why we love it: The 5,800-square-foot home boasts copious outdoor space complete with an infinity pool and sweeping bay views. $16 million, 4452 N. Bay Rd.; elliman.com
LOS ANGELES
A COUNTRY HOUSE GOES CALIFORNIA-COOL Fashion and furniture designer James Perse reimagined his barn-like property with an effortlessly cool aesthetic perfect for the home’s beachside locale. Located in Point Dume in Malibu, with keyed access to Little Dume beach, the sixbedroom abode is situated on nearly 2 acres. Why we love it: Hints of its seaside environs are seen throughout the home, most notably in the custom surfboards that act as spontaneous décor. $12.9 million, 28929 Bison Ct.; compass.com

Florida designer Jim Howard, of James Michael Howard, has earned quite the reputation for his prolific work in designing spec homes. Unlike the cookie-cutter residences of yesteryear that gave spec homes their colorless reputation, in Howard’s turnkey homes, no detail or expense is spared. Each home comes fully appointed with innovative materials and custom furniture pieces (Exhibit A: the Sagaponack, New York, residence below). Here, Howard shares his tried-and-true tips for creating a stylish house sure to please almost any design sensibility. jamesmichaelhoward.com
Look around: Designing for a client is designing for a specific intent or a particular need. In a spec house,
you’re constantly trying to figure out who your buyer is. Pay attention to what I call the vernacular style, or what is happening in the surrounding area. It’s all in the details: Our firm has a strong architectural focus. A typical house for us starts with countless drawings of interior details. Those small things, when done well, are the soul of the house. It takes time, experience and passion. I always say, “There’s doing it right and there’s all the rest of the ways.” Tone it down: I tend to stay more neutral in palette and introduce color in art. In the house shown here, we have plenty of color, but it’s watered down, with varied textures and metals acting as moments of “color.”

STATE OF THE
ARCHITECTURE Since opening his eponymous architecture firm in Austin, Texas, in 2005, Michael Hsu has had a front-row seat to the capital city’s rapidly shifting design scene. His work includes such local gems as the buzzy South Congress Hotel, the much-acclaimed Japanese eatery Uchi, and other area restaurants, office spaces and luxury residences. “There’s a pursuit to be fresh in design, entrepreneurship and culture,” say Hsu of his design-forward locale. “Austin still has a local vibe, but things that we look toward are no longer regional; they are international.” We sat down with the busy architect to discuss the state of architecture today—and where it’s headed. hsuoffice.com
How have homeowners’ tastes changed since you founded your firm 11 years ago? Homeowners are less tied to specific design style or aesthetic. The influence of social media has changed our clients’ perspective on design. They are more educated about hospitality and style and have really amped up their participation in the creative discovery process. What do your clients look for when they’re building a new home? For the most part, they’re looking to construct an open dialogue between their indoor and outdoor spaces to create an extension of the home’s living area. Even when not in use, the views need to be carefully designed so that the inside and outside amplify each other. Where is architecture going? The way people live and work has drastically changed as of late. The usual hierarchy of home, office and hospitality is blurred; we want design in all facets of our lives. In the future, these spaces will continue to be a part of our lives in similar ways as opposed to different.

Most impactful spaces to remodel? It always comes down to kitchens and bathrooms, which are typically the first places a buyer assesses the date and quality of the home. Downsize or upsize? Buy a presale to downsize but don’t sell your current home until it’s required when the new home is delivered. This allows equity to grow on both transactions in a market that’s rising. realogics.com
What do you keep in mind when helping clients find a home? I look at their personality, lifestyle, price point and needs. Young families who stay in the city are often searching for highly rated public schools. In the downtown market, buyers want convenience, walkability and views. True or false: location, location, location? Absolutely true— especially in the high-end market. jamesonsir.com
Curb appeal or big-name architect? Both. Curb appeal is always sought after and brings an exceptionally high premium to a home, but architects that bring life to older historic properties also bring value. Market trend you’re noticing: Buyers choosing quality over size is a welcome trend. Also, I’m happy to see dark, heavy finishes being replaced with spacious, light-filled design. wolfegroupdenver.com
Any exceptional amenities you’re seeing? I’ve started to see talking toilets recently, if you can believe it! Upsize or downsize? Downsize. Get out of your living room and enjoy your neighborhood and the city you live in—or at least have a reason for your kids not to move back home! Stager or no stager? Stager. Making a property look its best needs no explanation; we do dress ourselves up, don’t we? elliman.com
Top things buyers are looking for today? Quality construction and finishes are first; next, is a livable floor plan. Whether it is family game night or an elegant dinner party, people want an open and flowing living space. Where do new buyers want to be? The “live, work, play” lifestyle is here to stay. People don’t want to burn a half-tank of gas to get to the office and back. waltdanley.com

If the kitchen is the heart of the home; then, the sink is its heartbeat. These days, it seems that high-end faucets and five-star hotel quality fixtures are ubiquitous with luxury residences. Manhattan’s 432 Park Avenue, for example, offers both spectacular views and modern furnishings complemented by polished-chrome fittings from Dornbracht. “Our quality and innovative design was a perfect fit for the project,” says President and CEO of Dornbracht Americas Ingolf Matthée. “As a luxury brand, Dornbracht represents high-quality materials and craftsmanship, and this exclusive building, which we are privileged to be a part of, follows these same principles.” The Deborah Berke Partners-designed model apartment (shown) features Dornbracht’s Tara collection— a staple in the German company’s repertoire—in both the kitchen and bathroom. dornbracht.com

MOVING ON UP
With increasing frequency, today’s luxury homebuyers are eschewing sprawling square footage and green space and choosing instead to stay in the city center and invest in luxury condos. In the case of The Sutton condominium, it’s easy to see the appeal. The 90 residences, designed by New York-based Incorporated Architecture & Design, feature lofty ceiling heights, stunning white oak flooring and sweeping views of Manhattan. The gracious units contain state-of-the-art appliances, such as Gaggenau cooktops and custom Watermark fixtures in the bathroom. The exterior, too, is clad in classic brick, which serves as a sort of ode to the area’s traditional building materials. Its design strikes the perfect balance between New York’s industrial past and modern architectural innovations. When can we move in? incorporatedny.com

JANET BROOKS DESIGN
ADVICE FROM JANET BROOKS, ASID “In the kitchen, instead of breaking up the lines with appliances scattered here and there, we like to create an appliance wall, where they are neatly stacked in either vertical or horizontal lines,” she says. “It is an efficient way to organize a kitchen, rather than the old triangle. In the bathroom, it is important to have good lighting on the face. This can be done with pendants or sconces mounted at the correct height. Recessed lighting shining down from the ceiling creates ugly shadows.”
“
Dimensions, adjacencies, privacy and comfort are all of the utmost importance in selecting materials and executing designs.
”

Given the need to perfect the balance of aesthetic and functional concerns, kitchen and bathroom spaces require consistent and thoughtful design. “Try to limit the important elements in a room to no more than three,” says Janet Brooks, principal of Janet Brooks Design. “Any more, and the eye doesn’t know what to focus on, which creates a chaotic space.” A leading name in Arizona’s residential design industry, the interior designer explains current trends in kitchen and bath. “Clean lines and a more minimalist approach to design are so refreshing,” she says. “I was never into a lot of accessorizing or cluttered spaces, so this trend is personally appealing to me.” Brooks goes on to identify a partnership between the design professional and homeowner as a key to success, saying, “Your designer should help you clarify exactly what ingredients are important in your kitchen and bathroom, from appliances and plumbing fixtures to types of storage.”

Cohesion eliminates chaos.” Of the role technology plays in her process, she says, “It allows me to share designs from the beginning.

In discussing the evolution of the industry, Maria says, “Stone countertops have shifted from a luxury commodity to a product in most homes. Now the exotic stone market is booming, and customers in Scottsdale don’t want the granite you see at Home Depot and the like. They are looking for very special materials.”

his project is strongly about the architecture and materials,” explains Sarah Swartz Wessel about the modernist steel, concrete and wood abode she and her husband and business partner, Ethan Wessel, designed on a 1-acre desert lot at the end of a suburban cul-de-sac in Paradise Valley. “The neighborhood is full of big grass lawns, but our clients wanted a desert environment, and that’s what we lean toward, as well.” Their clients, an outdoorsy retired couple who summer in Idaho, discovered the Wessels after touring an open house for another home they had designed nearby. Although too large for the clients, its concrete walls and embrace of the exterior held great appeal, and they soon approached the design duo about conceiving a brandnew house. “The work that Tennen Studio does with cement is very interesting and has very good energy,” the wife says. “Their homes have a very solid, organic feel that we really appreciate.” Board-formed concrete walls create an entry corridor between the living and private spaces of the home, and a single pane of glass at the end of the hall allows unobstructed views of the desert and courtyard beyond. Like all of the concrete walls throughout the project, snap-tie holes—remnants of the rods used to join the wall molds together—have been left exposed. Adding another dimension, some of the walls, including the one between the entry corridor and the dining area, have been formed using thin strips of rough-sawn Douglas fir. “You see the wood grain and knots in the concrete,” says Ethan Wessel, who also served as the general contractor on the project. Even walls formed with smoother plywood sheets have some texture. “We used each form three to four times, and they got a little more character every time we poured concrete in them,” he says. The Wessels also thoughtfully incorporated the use of ever-changing light into the home. “We really consider natural light to be a material, and we love working with it,” Sarah Swartz Wessel says. “The light is going to change

every single day and throughout the year. Architecture isn’t static.” An outdoor roof opening—one of several throughout the project—allows the sunlight to filter through the entry court, forming a dramatic X shadow on the ground. Inside, precisely placed skylights and LED lighting strips reveal the textures and patterns in the walls. To enhance the link between inside and outdoors, the concrete walls and structural steel roofline extend beyond the envelope of the structure. Even the rough-sawn Douglas fir ceiling in the living area flows out to a courtyard with a detached casita and an outdoor living area around a fireplace where the owners enjoy hosting Thanksgiving dinner. “We have an outdoor wood-fired oven,” the wife says, noting it has become a holiday tradition to cook the turkey in it. “It’s a very fun place to have a party.” Just inside, the kitchen’s natural oak flooring with exposed knots and a butcher-block island countertop enhance the home’s rustic sensibility while hewing to the clean contemporary feeling that is a hallmark of the Wessels’ work. “The warm rustic materials stand out even more against the super-clean lines,” Sarah Swartz Wessel says. Despite the home’s minimalist look, the simplicity is deceiving. “A lot of effort and detailing goes into making it look so clean,” Sarah Swartz Wessel explains. A scrupulous attention to detail can be found everywhere, from the custom vertical brass pull on the walnut front door to the dining area’s built-in live-edge buffet that appears to hover in the air. In perhaps the Wessels’ most complex feat, the door to the master suite has been designed to notch into a concrete wall when open. In a technique also used in the dining room, the wall is suspended from the sides to allow for a horizontal window along the floor beneath. Concealed within the concrete is a shade that extends to the floor and an LED strip that casts a warm glow at night. Windows in the master entry hall, bathroom and bedroom all frame views of the ornamental grasses and Agave “Blue Flame” succulents the Wessels selected for the spacious outdoor area they created off the master suite. “The house sort of sits in the middle of the desert property, and for all intents and purposes there were no views, besides sky, to be had,” Sarah Swartz Wessel says. “We worked very hard to create views within. It’s all about looking through the house and out onto the courtyards.” In this case, bamboo and other greenery screen an intimate sitting area and a hot tub from neighboring homes while contrasting with the predominant desert landscape. “They wanted one area that felt a little more lush,” the residential designer adds. “It’s their own private oasis.” On late afternoons, the owners can often be found sitting in their secluded garden with a glass of wine, taking in the view. “The house blends into the desert, so you notice the whole environment, and then you walk into these beautiful, calm spaces,” the wife says. “It’s very Zen, and we really love it. The Wessels were very fun to work with, and they did a great job.”

NATURAL WONDER USING OBJECTS FOUND IN NATURE, A PHOENIX ARTIST CREATES LUMINOUS WORKS THAT REFLECT ON THE MYSTERIES OF LIFE. WRITTEN BY TARYN BICKLEY / PHOTOGRAPHY BY JILL RICHARDS
LUXESOURCE.COM / 301

“RESIN IS THE PERFECT MEDIUM; IT HOLDS LIGHT, COLOR AND THE PRESERVED AND BURIED OBJECTS I’M PUTTING INTO IT.”
In her Phoenix studio, artist Mayme Kratz (top) arranges dried poppy pods on a canvas. Her compositions of foraged objects—from plants and insects to bones and shells—are cast in resin to create dynamic works of art.
orking with resin for 25 years, Phoenix-based artist Mayme Kratz casts bobcat claws, snake vertebrae, cicada wings, shells and other found objects into striking and atmospheric shrines to nature. “With my art, I celebrate the endless cycles of change and rebirth,” she explains. “I have great reverence for the natural world.” Kratz’s wall panels and freestanding columns, which have a fluid-like translucence, also often draw upon poetry and prose. “I usually start with a working title influenced by something I’m reading,” she says. “A poem or set of words lead me into a body of work and this opens the door to a place of exploration.” Kratz begins each piece with a loose, abstract painting on birch wood that sets the tone for the work. After she arranges objects from nature— “sometimes from a long ago adventure in the wilderness and sometimes recently discovered,” she says—the artist pours thin layers of colored resin in a process that can take four days. The result? A cumulative effect of frozen artifacts preserved in a transparent capsule. “By using resin I find the work has more of a conversation,” she says. “It also has a predictability which allows me to experiment in other ways.” Originally turned off by its toxicity, Kratz found a way to use resin safely, favoring its strength and dependability as well as the luminous quality it gives her pieces, which can be as tiny as 2 by 2 inches or can tower as high and wide as 60 by 180 inches. “After many experiments, I realized resin was the perfect medium. It holds light,

For an exhibition of her work opening at the Lisa Sette Gallery in November, the artist created a wall panel using wild chamomile (below). Her Vanishing Light, I Think I Grow Tensions 10 and I Think I Grow Tensions 12 (bottom, from left to right) provide a background to translucent resin branches that preserve such objects as moss, leaves and butterfly wings.

color and the preserved and buried objects I’m putting into it,” says the artist. To reveal the grooves of a sea pod or the interior spiral of a shell, Kratz sands the resin smooth. “These are all things you don’t normally witness at a distance,” she observes. Themes of beauty, memory and longing are ever-present in Kratz’s work. In her upcoming show, opening in November at the Lisa Sette Gallery, she addresses the interplay of day and night skies and the endless possibilities for “that which has gone missing, or that we cannot see.” Inspired by the writings of Timothy Walsh, whose book The Dark Matter of Words explores the significance of absence in literature, some of her work draws on childhood memories of a starless city sky and musings on her own past and future. “In many ways, these works are similar to childhood play,” explains Kratz, who titled one of her works Into the Face of Stars. “I’m still burying things and digging them back up, reading, writing poetry, and trying to make sense of my place in the world.” Working on an average of four-to-five pieces at once, Kratz generally spends about a year to create a new series. While her themes are consistent, they’re usually expressed without premeditation or preliminary drawings. “A lot of times I feel the work before I have any vision or clue,” says the artist. “It’s all very introspective.”

he story behind a couple’s striking house in the DC Ranch community of Scottsdale began while they were searching for a place to remodel. “We stumbled upon a casita at the Boulders Resort and said, ‘Wow, look at this,’ ” the husband relates. “The interiors were contemporary but had a timeless yet androgynous feel. We wanted something of a similar style.” The first step in that direction was connecting with David P. Turner and John G. Martin, who created the interiors of that casita. “The owners were enamored with the design but not the location,” Martin says of the house, and as the prospect of remodeling drew bleaker due to lack of available structures with the right bones and palette, the concept of going ground-up became more appealing. “They knew we could do what they wanted anywhere and started looking for a lot.”
In time, builder Tom Archer, whose home projects the owners had also seen and liked, was brought on board. He in turn recommended Bob Bacon, the very architect who designed the Boulders Resort casitas. “As we created a team, things began to fall into place,” says Martin. “We could all see where the design was to go.” Up against the McDowell Mountains in the high desert, the chosen lot boasted city views and natural solitude, and the importance of connecting with and respecting the surroundings was duly noted in Bacon’s architectural plans. “I’ve always held that deserts are visually fragile environments and that their natural beauty is valuable,” the architect says. “It was important that the home respond appropriately.” To that end, Bacon designed the structure with a stone spine wall that runs parallel to the terrain. On two sides, the stone element extends past the house into the desert
For a couple in Scottsdale’s DC Ranch community, interior designers David P. Turner and John G. Martin worked with architect Bob Bacon to create a modern house that communes with its surroundings. Locally quarried stone makes up the exterior walls and carries on to the interiors. The Asian-inspired light fixtures were a collaboration between the husband and Turner Martin Design.

to reinforce the integration of the house with its site. A combination of organic materials and industrial elements— locally harvested cobblestone laid in a random rubble pattern, oxidized steel, glass, concrete, and highly textured and variegated terra-cotta tile—reflect indigenous building techniques. Broad overhangs reduce glare and provide protection from direct sun and heat, while a series of patios are visually connected and open to each other. Inside, Turner and Martin created beautifully composed neutral spaces and accentuated the entire interior with “conversation pieces,” including the dramatic, internationally influenced artwork they curated from Costello-Childs Contemporary Fine Art, some of which Martin created himself. “The first impression is masculine-looking, but then it takes on more feminine, softer lines,” Martin explains. “The
play of hard and soft edges against one another and the defining of smaller spaces with large elements and artwork gives an unexpected look and feel.” For furnishings, Turner and Martin borrowed from designs the owners had initially been drawn to, but they incorporated “a unique stamp” at every turn. In the great room, which they consider the driving force of the home, they custom-designed sectional sofas and upholstered them with cotton and flax fabric to match the coloration of the stone walls. In the kitchen, they paired a Cambrian black satin granite-topped counter with bamboo cabinetry that has an ebonized finish. In the master bedroom, Turner and Martin custom-upholstered the headboard in a linearpatterned black patent leather and floated it on a custom cotton-sisal-and-jute rug.
A bold black-and-white oil painting by Loren Yagoda, from Costello-Childs Contemporary Fine Art, adds drama to the living area. The gray textured sofa was custom-designed by Turner Martin Design and fabricated by Grenard’s Upholstery.

Throughout the home, and in the two semi-attached guest casitas, a sense of cohesiveness and richness was achieved with the addition of carefully selected and placed accessories and organic accent pieces. Often, specific design elements were meticulously detailed in partnership with the owner and Archer. The husband, an engineer, “was so bright and knowledgeable, and he wanted things done in a certain manner,” says Archer. “It was a challenge to make sure that when we did something, from tile to light fixtures to floor layouts to the welding of the exposed steel, the details were worked out way ahead of time. It was like an amazing arts-andcrafts project.” Acknowledges the husband: “It can be cumbersome to have so much participation from the homeowner, but Tom and John were willing to work with me in that regard, and it worked out well.”
Furthering the connection of the home with its surroundings were the efforts of landscape designer Donna Winters, who spent a great deal of time up front becoming familiar with the plans. “When we live with spaces, we really are able to speak to what’s unique about home and how it blends into the bigger picture of things,” she explains. In response to the magnitude of the house, Winters specified sizable, indigenous accent material, such as cacti and box ironwoods, for the exterior and subsidized them with area planters. “It’s like living art,” she says. Reflecting on the project, Martin notes, “It’s such a dramatic house, and the main thing is it’s an homage to the relationship with the client, designer, architect and contractor. It’s a reflection of everyone’s palette.” Adds the husband: “When you walk into a room, your blood pressure drops automatically. It’s very soothing and relaxing.”
A rich brown palette prevails in the his-and-hers master bath, which is organized around Finely Designed custom bamboo cabinetry. The sinks are Kohler, and the faucets are Danze. The framed mirrors were conceived by Turner Martin Design and fabricated by Finely Designed.

omeowners Cindy and Ryan Buell cherish the life they’ve built in Scottsdale. But when it came time to construct a larger house for their growing family, they wanted their new home to feel as if it were far away from the Arizona desert. “They wanted something fresh yet that had a bit of a European influence—and they didn’t remotely care for anything that was Southwestern,” says designer Kim Scodro, who has worked on two previous houses for the Buells. The couple had dabbled with color and a modern aesthetic before, but this time around, they sought classic styling with a much lighter palette. “This one was to be very different,” Scodro says, noting that her clients sought something sophisticated and timeless where they could settle down and raise their three young children.
That edict carried through the architecture, as well. “The interiors are very clean, very classic and very bright,” says architect Erik Peterson, who was recommended by the home’s builder, Steve Sommer. “They wanted the outside to be a reflection of that—not a lot of details or ornamental designs.” Having never built a house before, Cindy says they had to rely on their design team to develop a layout that could accommodate their children and extended family. In response, Peterson planned zones that place public spaces front and center, with the children’s bedrooms and playroom on one side and, on the other, a master suite, office and gym. Second-floor guest suites for the couple’s parents are reachable by elevator. “Everyone has their own area,” Peterson says. “And the rooms each have their own scale.”

Below: The sitting area of the upper great room features draperies fabricated by J Squared Interior Consultation and Design with Kravet fabric. The rug is from Underfoot, and the Lucite-base leather ottomans are from Bungalow.
Scodro—working with design associates Jessica Leibovich and Kathryn Scodro, her daughter-in-law—chose art, furnishings and finishes that would connect the main spaces yet define each with its own character. The entry sets the tone with an abstract work the designer commissioned from Chicago artist Amy Donaldson, which takes its colors from fabrics Scodro used throughout the house. Its hues, for example, reappear on the living room’s accent pillows and the dining room chair trim. “The idea was to have a flow,” she says. Another aesthetic thread weaves through the living room and kitchen in the glazing on each room’s built-in cabinetry. A large archway joins the two spaces, so Scodro wanted them to be complementary—in form and function:
The white indoor-outdoor fabric on the living room sofas is immune to watermelon and Popsicles, Cindy says, both of which she has washed away easily. “We didn’t realize how livable it would be,” she adds. Family considerations went into nearly every space. The dining room’s dramatic floor-to-ceiling wine chiller is a nod to Cindy’s father, an avid wine collector. He is storing much of his collection in half the space, while the Buells have started building their own stock in the other half. “That wine cooler—that’s the art,” Scodro says. From there, she designed a herringbone-brick pattern to line a barrel ceiling, which Cindy requested because it makes the space feel like a tasting room. LUXESOURCE.COM / 325

The property itself also had much to do with the home’s design. Although the house backs up to a golf course, the Buells wanted to capture the side views toward Scottsdale, as well. Sommer obliged by climbing a 14-foot ladder on the land before breaking ground. He used a GPS to record the proper sight line, which Peterson then designed into the plan for the home’s upper decks. “We had to adjust the whole floor plan,” Peterson says. The Buells got lucky, Sommer adds, because most lots face either the golf course or the city. “Not many of the homes here can capture both the views in such a special way,” he says. The two decks that offer those views flank the second floor’s bar and TV lounge, which was a priority for Ryan. Here, Scodro used a darker palette with saturated blues and deeper wood tones that make the custom-paneled bar a standout. Light prevails, however, as French doors on three sides open to the decks and to Juliet balconies overlooking the living room below.
Landscape architect Beth Webster made just as much of an impact outside, filling out tiered gardens in front and highlighting the backyard and pool terrace with potted flowering plants. “We wanted a lot of color, green and lushness—to the degree we can do that in the desert,” Webster says. Crowning the front and back are droughtfriendly Texas mountain laurel trees, which blossom with huge clusters of purple flowers that smell like grape soda. Marigolds and coral-colored autumn sage also dot the property, along with daylilies and Arizona yellow bells. The pool, meanwhile, was sited behind the master wing, so that it could be fenced off from unattended children and leave a large lawn centrally situated where the kids can play. Those kinds of design details throughout the project were deliberate, Scodro says, and contribute to an elegant plan that’s also kid-friendly. “Everyone worked together to get Cindy and Ryan this result,” she says. “This is where they will build their memories and raise their children.”
Scodro designed the sofa at the top of the stairs to be a comfy niche; it is dressed in gray velvet from Fishman’s Fabrics in Chicago, with Schumacher trim. The railings were also designed by Scodro.

TIME
“ANY GREAT WORK OF ART REVIVES AND READAPTS TIME AND SPACE.” THIS STATEMENT MADE BY COMPOSER LEONARD BERNSTEIN REMINDS US THAT INNOVATION IS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT REINVENTING THE WHEEL, BUT, AT TIMES, REFASHIONING CLASSICS TO FIT OUR MODERN LIVES. THIS SENTIMENT CERTAINLY RINGS TRUE TODAY—PARTICULARLY EVERY TIME THE BIENNALE DES ANTIQUAIRES ROLLS INTO PARIS. THIS SEPTEMBER, THE CELEBRATED ANTIQUES FAIR OBSERVES ITS 28TH ITERATION, PROVING THAT WHILE WE EMBRACE THE MODERN WORLD, OUR FASCINATION WITH CLASSIC STYLE AND DESIGN, AS EXEMPLIFIED IN THE ELEGANT PIECES SHOWN HERE, CONTINUES TO STAND THE TEST OF TIME.
