The infinite potential of a blank canvas. The reinvention of your favorite room. The home you hope to create. WE BELIEVE THE MOST PLEASING ENVIRONMENTS ARE A REFLECTION OF HUMAN DESIGN. THEY ARE A STUDY OF BALANCE, SYMMETRY AND PERFECT PROPORTIONS. WE RESPECT THE HIERARCHY AND IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE, FURNITURE AND DÉCOR THAT CREATE HARMONY. IT’S A DISCIPLINE OF ADDITION THROUGH SUBTRACTION, WHERE LESS BECOMES MORE, AND CALM IS CREATED THROUGH CONTINUITY. THE RESULT IS A HOLISTIC DESIGN THAT IS STRONG YET SIMPLE. WE SUBSCRIBE TO LEONARDO DA VINCI’S PHILOSOPHY THAT “SIMPLICITY IS THE ULTIMATE SOPHISTICATION.” OUR DESIGNERS PLACE YOU AT THE CENTER OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS, WORKING TO REALIZE THE POTENTIAL OF YOUR HOME, AND TO BRING YOUR VISION TO LIFE.
All you have to do is imagine. FOR AN APPOINTMENT, VISIT THE RH DESIGN ATELIER AT YOUR LOCAL GALLERY OR CONTACT US AT RH.COM/INTERIORDESIGN.

EDITOR’S LETTER
STYLE MATTERS
I recently came upon this headline while scrolling online: FIVE EASY STEPS TO DEFINE YOUR HOME’S STYLE! Curiosity got the better of me, so I clicked and was served up five “looks” from which to discover my sense of self. A one-click approach to finding your style seems so, well, unimaginative. I’ve always subscribed to the belief that sartorial matters are personal and best left to marinate slowly over years, decades, a lifetime. This issue, like each one we publish, is populated with all manner of looks, attitudes and ideas (edited through our prism) and designed to spark creativity and expose you to a fresh inkling or new take on a deep-rooted idea. Here, we explore the age-old art form of portraiture, shine a spotlight on lighting that
ranges from Bauhaus-inspired to overtly maximalist, and report on tips and advice for entertaining at home. That’s our approach: to present viewpoints, designs and concepts with the hope that there’s an element or two for you to integrate and put your own spin on. Like people, the most interesting homes are layered, eclectic and unhurriedly evolved—never a quick click. From my house to yours, I wish you a season filled with beauty and enjoyed with those that you love.

memo KATHLEEN MITCHELL PUBLISHER
Welcome to Luxe Interiors + Design’s latest issue, the definitive guide for luxury, entertaining, decorating and gifts to inspire the design enthusiast in all of us! We celebrated some great events this season. First, Luxe was about town as we hosted Fashion Night Out at Studio 41. Attendees sipped on the signature cocktail, while a DJ kept the party going all night. We also partnered with both Dornbracht and Duravit for the Inspired Design event at Pella Crafted Luxury’s showroom, where Sieger Design’s Christian Sieger opened a discussion on the link between fashion, interior design and architecture, joined by a leadership panel that included designer Tracy Hickman, architect Jeff Harting and artist/designer Linc Thelen. Guests enjoyed cocktails from Mammoth Distilling and left feeling inspired! It’s hard to believe, but it’s that time of the year again for River North Design District’s Fall Gallery Walk. We kicked off the night with a champagne toast at The Golden Triangle, then made our way through 13 of the district’s galleries and showrooms, as well as a pop-up shop with Michael Del Piero Good Design featuring Ligne Roset and an after-party hosted by Cambria at the The Chopping Block. Cheers!

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
BRADLEY NESBITT WEATHERLY If I could interview anyone, I would… Want to talk to Kate Middleton, off the record. Any time you have the opportunity to speak to someone whose life is in front of the lens, it’s always nice to have moments that are stripped away to meet the real person, know what makes them laugh, get insight into their quirks and see who they are outside of the public sphere. Favorite Luxe interview: I enjoyed the conversation I had with landscape architect Mario Nievera of Nievera Williams. It was so interesting to see how he thinks of grass as rugs and boxwoods as wallpaper. His entire approach to outdoor landscape is so relatable to interiors. What type of architecture inspires you the most? I’m a Southern girl, so I love both Greek Revival and Georgian styles. I can almost smell the magnolia when I see a Greek Revival house; it immediately takes me home. Words of wisdom: Never let fear determine your steps.
JESSICA KLEWICKI GLYNN Photographer / Palm Beach
What’s intriguing you now in the world of design? I like that traditional methods of crafting furniture are making a comeback with many bespoke designers. I also enjoy when people repurpose antique hardware, including hinges, doorknobs and pulls. Top three things on your design wish list: I would love a marble-topped Saarinen dining table for my new breakfast room, some beautiful wall sconces for my bedroom (particularly Aerin’s black Charlton wall lights), and a redo of my pool area—something sleek yet traditional such as a bluestone pool deck. Who is the most fascinating person you’ve ever met? Growing up, all of my summers were spent at our family vacation home in Montauk. One day, while working the ticket booth at a movie theater in East Hampton, I was reading Kurt Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions. A gentleman walked up and said, “So how do you like that book?” I told him I loved it, and he said, “Do you want me to sign it?” I looked up and it was Kurt Vonnegut. I still have the signed copy on my bookshelf.
NICK JOHNSON Photographer / New York What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received? On my first day as a photo assistant, I worked on a shoot of Martha Stewart with the legendary architectural photographer Scott Frances. Afterward, I was telling Scott what a great day it was and he said, “As far as your career goes, you are what you shoot.” I Try to remember this to make sure I get the best shots possible. Whose work are you influenced by design-wise? Mat Sanders and Brandon Quattrone of Consort Design and Estee Stanley. Their work is casual, comfortable and cool. I try to take what I can from them and incorporate it into my own house. Memorable Luxe assignment: While my assistant and I were shooting a Colorado house with amazing views, we heard a loud rustling behind us and saw a bear standing in the woods. We left so fast that we forgot the camera and had to get reinforcements to go back and get our equipment. The bear didn’t indulge us for any selfies, though.
PATRICK SORAN Writer / Denver Prized possessions: Since my husband and two dogs aren’t possessions, I would have to say my neoclassical console table built in Italy around 1850 (that I love more than I ought to), a pair of wood carvings of Egyptian gods Isis and Osiris that I bought in a shop on the banks of the Nile, and the little plaque I got in ninth grade for Best Creative Writing. What books have impacted you the most? First, William Zinsser’s On Writing Well. The author recommends that a writer get to the point, tell the story and then run to the nearest door. Right now, though, I’m obsessed with the symbolism of diamonds and radio signals in Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See. If not a writer, what you would be? A flâneur is a person who does nothing much but walk around hither and yon and enjoy what he sees. I’d flâneur in Paris, Manhattan and San Francisco, thank you very much. Then I’d have lunch.

ABOUT
FACE THE BEST PLACE FOR A PORTRAIT ISN’T HANGING IN A MUSEUM GALLERY—IT’S ON THE WALL IN YOUR HOME. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA
From the Mona Lisa and Girl with a Pearl Earring to American Gothic, the collective fascination with portrait art goes back far beyond even the most famous examples of the genre: back to prehistoric times, in fact, where crude renderings of faces in profile have been discovered by archaeologists in cave dwellings and in the tombs of Egyptian and Chinese royalty. Few mediums have had such staying power. So, what’s with the fascination with faces? It’s simple: Much like the best writing, portraits are a way to explore our humanity—something that highlights all the ways in which we are different and all the ways in which we are the same. So, it’s no surprise that the introspective art form has been increasingly making its way into our homes, with portraits often acting as the stars of busy gallery walls and standalone displays alike. Here, Luxe rounds up some of our favorite local and international artists that are keeping the ages-old tradition alive and fresh with new interpretations and thrilling techniques.
RADAR / ON DISPLAY
GABRIEL SCHAMA
FAMILY PORTRAITS Who: From his studio in Oakland, California, artist Gabriel Schama’s powerful profiles and portraits are a cut above—literally. All of his pieces are either carefully excised by hand with an X-Acto knife or expertly produced with the help of his in-house assistant, a laser cutter he’s named Elsie. What: Schama’s work runs the gamut, from reimagined images from newspaper articles and album covers where he’s replaced the faces with boldly hued paper-cut explosions to classic profiles executed in wood with inner workings comprised of Elsie’s precisely stacked layers (as shown in the section opener). Why we love him: There’s something meditative about Schama’s work, like a complex wood weaving or a dizzying mandala brought to life. It’s hard to look away. gabrielschama.com
KEHINDE WILEY
SHANTAVIA BEALE II, 2012 Who: No one breaks down boundaries and flips the narrative quite like Brooklyn-based artist Kehinde Wiley, whose classically inspired oil paintings are made modern thanks to their subjects. What: Highly stylized and realistically rendered portraits in rich palettes depicting black and brown men and women from all over the world in poses influenced by the works of the old masters. Why we love him: There’s so much ground the historical portrait-painting tradition has yet to cover, and Wiley’s work is helping to narrow the distance between the genre’s myopic view of the past and the incredible diversity of our everyday reality— while simultaneously celebrating it. kehindewiley.com; skny.com
CAYCE ZAVAGLIA
GARRETT, 2011 Who: Artist Cayce Zavaglia had spent her career working on photo-realistic oil portraits, but when she became pregnant 15 years ago and had to forgo using the toxic chemicals required of the practice, she switched gears: relying on nontraditional embroidery techniques to capture her subjects. What: Large-scale embroidered portraits that may as well have been plucked from the studios of the old masters. One of these complex pieces can take Zavaglia anywhere from six weeks to six months to produce. Why we love her: Zavaglia is able to capture the depth and personality of her subjects—all friends and members of her family—in their direct and unwavering glances; plus, the softness of the embroidery thread and wool she uses brings added warmth to each beautiful visage. caycezavaglia.com

OUKALY Who: Spanish painter Oriol Angrill Jordà has taken two of art’s most celebrated and oft-studied subjects— landscapes and the human form—and merged them together in his signature watercolor series, titled Blendscapes. The result? Portraits that break all the rules in the best way possible. What: Jordà’s work feels like a dream within a dream, with everything from steep mountain ranges to serene lakeside scenes depicted across the side of a face or a cheek, like a window into what his subjects are thinking. Why we love him: Because Jordà brings one of our favorite platitudes to life in his portraits: People contain multitudes. It’s a beautiful sentiment depicted in works that are both realistic and deeply imaginative. oriolangrill.com

RADAR / CULTURE
Walking in the shoes of some of the characters powering through traumatic, complicated lives in our favorite television shows may sound less than ideal—we’re looking at you, The Affair’s tragedystricken protagonists Noah and Alison—but living in their homes? That’s another story. One look at the aforementioned Noah’s effortlessly cool Brooklyn brownstone or Alison’s cozy beachfront retreat in Montauk can make even (spoiler alert) taking the blame for vehicular homicide seem a little more palatable. Catching a glimpse into the well-appointed Red Keep in Game of Thrones, too, can make it hard not to root for Cersei Lannister; surely, if she were so evil, she wouldn’t have such great decorating taste? As on-demand television becomes more of a staple of home entertainment, the remote’s role has gone far beyond pausing, playing and fastforwarding—it’s turning the small screen into a veritable Pinterest board full of décor ideas for everything from living and dining rooms to artist studios and, well, even the White House.
WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA
It all comes as no shock to Steve Arnold, the production designer behind the uncannily realistic presidential-inspired sets on the award-winning House of Cards. “You would be completely amazed to know about all the emails we get from everywhere on the planet—from Australia, Europe, the United States,” he says. “They want to know where we sourced the chaise lounge in such and such episode, the fabric on the sofa in another episode. They’ll ask about the smallest little details.” So, is it just that people are spending more time in their homes and in front of the television, or has the entertainment industry itself become more keen to its audience’s design-leaning proclivities? It’s hard to tell. But for people like Arnold and set decorator Beauchamp Fontaine— who’s responsible for the easy, breezy coastal interiors on the set of Grace and Frankie, as well as blockbuster hits like The Revenant and Now You See Me—they’re still designing with clients in mind; they just happen to be fictional and on a crazy-tight deadline (sets are often
conceptualized and completed in as little as 6-10 weeks). This real-person approach is what gives the sets their soul and lived-in layers, and likely, what makes the spaces resonate with viewers. Lily Tomlin’s artist studio in Grace and Frankie, for example, was a real labor of love for Fontaine. “For Lily’s character, Frankie, the studio is the one place that is really and truly hers,” she says. “It became her refuge. So, it was important to me that we get it right.” To make it look real, then, Fontaine tapped a local ceramicist to come in before filming and work on the potter’s wheel— saving his half-thrown pots, slip and slurry, adding to the dialogue without saying a word. “What we’re doing is a different kind of storytelling,” Fontaine says. “Interiors can tell as much of a story as the plot sometimes. It’s been incredible to see viewers really catching on to that.” Above: A still of Lily Tomlin’s art studio from the set of Grace and Frankie, designed by Beauchamp Fontaine for the show’s premiere season on Netflix.

A JIM THOMPSON COMPANY
RADAR / ITINERARY
WRITTEN BY JESSE BRATTER
It’s almost time for the art world to descend upon Miami once again for the much-anticipated Art Basel Miami Beach fair—for artists and collectors everywhere to come in droves to South Florida for several jam-packed days of VIP previews, international brand appearances and auxiliary shows throughout the city’s metropolitan areas and artistic enclaves. Offering an oasis of design,
art and community in the midst of all the organized chaos will be Jessica Acosta-Rubio, whose creative agency Design Pub collaborates with designers and like-minded brands on both a local and global level to curate exhibitions and pop-ups. This year, she’ll join forces with Lululemon to host H[OM BASE]L at a residence on the Venetian Islands; the project will explore the seven chakras
through various activation stations with the help of tabletop brand Comunione, jewelry designer Joanne Stone, and other creatives. And while we’re sure to see Acosta-Rubio behind more events happening between December 1 and 4, she let us in on some of her other must-see spots for those who love art and design just as much as she does. atdesignpub.com
EAT “Egot,” an exhibit of furniture by Nun and Office GA, was previously presented by Design Pub and Giovanni Beltran. Damien Hirst's Gone but not Forgotten (above) is on view at Faena Hotel Miami Beach.
Soul Food: I’m a huge fan of Rene Gonzalez’s architectural work, and I love the indoor-outdoor Plant Food + Wine restaurant inside The Sacred Space Miami, a mixed-use facility he designed that focuses on wellness, education and community. From the restaurant to the outdoor area, this open yet private floor plan is so unique to Miami. It’s the perfect place to eat and drink while in a meeting or just occasionally with friends. The food and plating is absolutely gorgeous. thesacredspacemiami.com Feel Good: Paradigm Kitchen is a health-conscious restaurant concept in Miami Beach from the team at Jugofresh. I can’t take all the credit, but I loved helping them with some of their furniture selections from our favorite brand in Los Angeles, Bend Goods.

NOTABLE SOUTH FLORIDA-BASED CURATOR JESSICA ACOSTA-RUBIO DISHES ON CAN’T-MISS DESTINATIONS TO SHOP, DINE AND APPRECIATE DESIGN DURING ART BASEL MIAMI BEACH—AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHERE TO RELAX AND RECHARGE.
RADAR / ITINERARY Design Pub curates pop-up exhibitions like “#101ManMade” (shown here and center), a show that coincided with a previous Art Basel Miami Beach. At bottom is a look at the Plant Food + Wine restaurant at The Sacred Space Miami.
SHOP Plain and Simple: Good design should be accessible to everyone. And no one practices that philosophy more than the cotton T-shirt brand Neushop Miami, whose two main characteristics are function and quality. The simple yet meaningful ethos of Neushop is represented by the barebones quality of the historic downtown building in which it’s housed, and in the shop’s monthly design forums and events that are open to the public. neushop.com En Vogue: The Webster in South Beach is definitely my preferred place to shop. I love that they’ve preserved the look and feel of the Art Deco building, because the best part of the shopping experience is the contrast between the historic design and the new fashion trends they have inside. And the accessories selection there is on point: I’m a huge fan of Annelise Michelson jewelry; I adore the world of Olympia Le-Tan; and because we live in Miami, I always need to splurge on new sunglasses by Mykita. thewebster.us
EXPLORE Double Trouble: My favorite design duo in town is Jessica Martin and Deon Rubi, collectively known as Nun, who work out of Little Haiti. They’ve been part of our Design Pub exhibits for the past two years, with a focus on furniture design and objects, including collaborations with Jonathan Gonzalez of Office GA. They were also a part of the incredible show, Giovanni Beltran’s “Primitive Hut,” at Noguchi Breton in Miami earlier this year. deonrubi.com
Meet Market: I’m very excited about the Mexican designers who will be exhibiting in Miami during Comisaria Latina de Diseño, a design showcase of art, fashion and interiors by Latin American artisans in a bazaar-like setting. Check it out at the Royal Palm South Beach Miami hotel from December 1-4.
STAY Checking In: Faena Hotel Miami Beach is my new go-to spot to have fun among art and architecture. The design is just breathtaking, and the Faena Theater is like a dream. It’s so magical and whimsical that they call it a fantasyland, and they have a performance every weekend called C’est Rouge! that shouldn’t be missed. Every time I find myself at Faena, I always feel as if I’m inside of a movie. It’s like Wes Anderson meets Moulin Rouge. faena.com

Moore is More: The Moore Building houses a site-specific installation by Zaha Hadid that is definitely worth seeing. We’ll have a show there during the next big art and design invasion—Maison & Objet Americas in May—with lots of limited-edition works mainly by young talents from Miami and Latin America. bridgehouseevents.com

View Finder: I love walking around the Miami Design District and discovering new places. Alchemist has been one of my favorite finds. The fashion boutique has three locations, with this one focusing on fine jewelry. It’s again designed by Rene Gonzalez and has an unforgettable rose gold-mirrored façade, is surrounded by palm trees and lies diagonally to the Buckminster Fuller Fly’s Eye Dome sculpture. The whole area has changed tremendously—mounting exhibitions inside temporary spaces here over the last six years, I’ve seen it all. The Design District is the most ambitious project in Miami in terms of community building and outstanding design. I can’t wait for the opening of the new Institute of Contemporary Art, all of our summer rooftop parties and more restaurants to come. miamidesigndistrict.net

RADAR / BEHIND THE BRAND
FINE PRINT THE CREATIVE WUNDERKIND BEHIND NEW YORK’S WALLCOVERING UPSTART, VOUTSA, GEORGE VENSON USHERS IN A WHOLE NEW GENERATION OF DESIGN LOVERS WHO BELIEVE PATTERN MAKES PERFECT. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA / PORTRAIT BY CHRIS GLOAG
“No one can pronounce it,” says George Venson, with a laugh, in reference to the name of his devil-may-care design house, Voutsa—an abridged version of his father’s family’s pre-Ellis Island Greek surname. And while that might be mostly true (for the record, it’s | voot | - sä), it’s had no bearing whatsoever on the company’s rapid ascent. Venson’s bold, at times risqué, wallpapers almost instantly found their niche after Voutsa’s launch in 2013, and his devotees have hardly let phonetics get in the way of translating the brand’s whimsical prints into statementmaking backdrops for daring interiors. Voutsa’s painterly collections feature wild and fantastical illustrations—from giant watercolor lips and coral-grazing goldfish to elegant birds-of-paradise and Russian dancers in mid-waltz. They’re all fun and eye-catching, but if Voutsa’s nearly meteoric rise can be attributed to any one thing, it’s to Venson’s own sheer force of will: his aversion to trends and his selfprofessed interest in charting his own course. “I have no desire to make the typical, expected things,” he says. “I want everything I do to have a bit of a twist, something no one sees coming.” It seems obvious, then, that a year after his first wallpaper collection premiered to great success, the artist-turned-product designer was on to the next thing: a capsule fashion line—in collaboration with Paul Marlow, the couture mastermind behind the retired menswear collective Loden Dager—rendered from Voutsa’s most popular patterns, which he’s currently traveling to promote in a series of international pop-up shops, like his latest in London, at right. “When I first started working with Paul, I told him I wanted to create clothing that represented my ideal look—from head to toe,” Venson explains. “We did tunics and shirts and bandannas, focusing on well-made pieces with classic cuts that could fit different body types.” For Venson, though, it’s not just about outfitting a body or a room; it’s about capturing a lifestyle—regardless of if that life is being carried out in a New York City apartment or in the Oval Office (a name he drops when asked for his dream commission). “I have a wonderfully diverse base of people interested in the work I do at Voutsa,” he says. “Whether it’s one of my wallpapers getting selected for a high-end project by a big decorator or a printed scarf going home with someone in Wyoming, I love that each person can take away a piece of this fantasy world I’ve created.”

OPEN HOUSE THE MART
Taking up two city blocks along the Chicago River, The Merchandise Mart is home to such luxury tenant showrooms as Holly Hunt, Janus et Cie and Maya Romanoff. The edifice, better known as The Mart, is recognized as the world’s largest commercial building, but that doesn’t mean it’s resting on its laurels. This summer, the 86-yearold structure revealed the results of a three-year, $40 million renovation to its public spaces. Led by A+I, the revamp includes a 5,000-square-foot riverfront park with alfresco seating, a second-level multipurpose lounge and a modernized, urban food hall. The crown jewel, though, is The Grand Stair, a 50-foot-wide stairwell that connects the two lower floors of the 4.2 million-square-foot structure. Luckily, it’s not a steep climb to design heaven. themart.com
THE INSIDER
ON DISPLAY SOFA CHICAGO
From November 3-6, the world’s best examples of sculpture, objects, functional art and design filled the Navy Pier’s Festival Hall for SOFA Chicago, the city’s longestrunning art fair. Now in its 23rd year, the event displayed paintings, photography, wood forms, metal pieces, works on paper and more from nearly 80 galleries around the globe, such as contemporary jewelry by New York’s Charon Kransen Arts, glasswork from Habatat Galleries in Michigan, ceramics from Sokyo Gallery in Japan and the 20th-century American art collection of Chicago’s own Richard Norton Gallery. SOFA also hosted special exhibits, lectures and demonstrations, including glassmaking from the Corning Museum of Glass and a live design competition that featured students from the industry’s top college programs. sofaexpo.com
Jenni Button’s fascination with street art inspired her to pursue a career in the industry, joining the ranks as one of Chicago’s growing number of female curators. As director of the Matthew Rachman Gallery, she oversees a multifaceted collection of furniture and artwork. “Our curatorial team focuses on stylized vignettes of rare and museum-quality pieces, staged within contemporary abstract art exhibitions and installations,” Button says. Since taking the reins in January 2015, she’s made a particular push to support area creators: “I’ve implemented a mission of working with 80-percent local artists in an effort to keep Chicago talent in Chicago,” she says. Here, Button shares what’s been catching her eye in the creative scene of the Windy City. matthewrachmangallery.com Most excited about now: Impermanent works of art, which are meant to be experientially viewed. The impermanence of street art is what initially drew me to the genre—the excitement and that “you had to be there” feeling. The Internet has watered down that experience significantly as it relates to street art, but contemporary artists like Robert Montgomery and Chicago’s Luftwerk are creating bodies of work that, impressive as they may be when viewed through photographs, have a lasting, soul-rocking impact when seen in person. What’s happening in Chicago? I feel the whole scene is becoming much more unified. I’m seeing alot more crosscollaboration between galleries, curators and artists citywide than I did when I moved to Chicago six years ago, and that’s exciting to me. One to watch: I really value the eye of Naoko Nagano, the shop owner behind Study Hall, a great little women’s boutique located down the street from us in Ukrainian Village. Shopping at her store is like shopping with your best friend— the honest one. She doesn’t push items just to make a sale, and she makes you feel really comfortable. She also has impeccable taste, and her inventory is darling.

DATE BOOK DEE CLEMENTS
Dee Clements enrolled in the School of the Art Institute of Chicago as a painter but ended up pursuing a degree in sculpture—until her passion changed once more when she discovered the art of weaving during an introductory fibers class. “I really connected with the medium,” she recalls. “It brought together my interest in composition that I learned from painting and my love of threedimensional tactility, which came from my studies in sculpture.” That was 16 years ago; since then, the multidisciplinary artist has forged a successful career in weaving and textile design as the founder of Studio Herron, a Chicago-based brand of woven blankets, rugs and artistic wall panels. Located in the meatpacking district’s Feather Loft building, Studio Herron uses traditional dobby looms to handweave made-to-order rugs and wall panels; blankets, both cotton and wool, are constructed using a mechanized loom and sewn by a small tailoring company in Cicero. Clements spends much of her time sourcing high-quality materials. “I think the cloth we use against our skin is just as important as the foods we put in our bodies,” she explains. Using this same thoughtful approach, Clements curated an itinerary below for design-minded visitors to Chicago. studioherron.com
10 a.m. Head to Milk & Honey Café on Division Street in Wicker Park for its famous homemade granola. Request a table on the patio, under the shade of an umbrella. 11 a.m. Just a couple buildings away, pop in to Penelope’s, a clothing and accessories boutique for both women and men. View the newest jewelry collection by Cities in Dust, which occupies a studio next door to Studio Herron. 12 p.m. For lunch, grab a table at Antique Taco and order the kale salad with a bottle of Topo Chico. The tacos are also incredible, and you can wash them down with a delicious beer. 124 / LUXESOURCE.COM
1 p.m. Visit The Weaving Mill in Humboldt Park, where I produce all of the blankets and pillows in my textile collection. See the process in action on industrial, mechanized looms. 2 p.m. Take a ride to the Andersonville neighborhood— about 25 minutes away—to visit Alapash New Home, a home accessories store with incredible textiles from Peru. Shop the beautiful collection of ceramics, pillows, exotic terrariums and other great home accessories. 4 p.m. Stop in Asrai Garden in Wicker Park to explore the perfumery, natural balms and lotions, one-of-a-kind jewelry and taxidermy. You simply cannot leave without finding the perfect gift. 6 p.m. Sit down to a bowl of peanut satay noodles at Lula
Cafe in Logan Square. I have been coming here since 1999. The walls are thoughtfully curated with new art each month. 8 p.m. Close out the evening just down the road with drinks at Hopewell Brewing Company, which makes its handcrafted beer on site. Hopewell commissioned three of my handwoven tapestries, which visitors can see on the taproom walls. They add a nice pop of color to the room.
DATE BOOK PHOTOS: PORTRAIT, MIKE KILLION; TAPESTRY AND BOTTOM VIGNETTE, JENNIFER MARX; CENTER VIGNETTE: CLARE BRITT.
9 a.m. Start the day at Studio Herron with a tour, a view of my current textile collection and a demo of the looms.
FOR TOW N
COLLECTION BY MICHAEL S. SMITH
Inspired by the cinematic elegance of a 1930s Park Avenue apartment, Michael S. Smith created the For Town collection to be timeless and classic. Drawing from an era of architecture with geometric lines and decorative detail, each element has a unique quality that is modern, yet infused with historical romance. Tailored and functional, the pieces feel appropriate in a variety of luxury kitchen and bath environments - from a traditional New York apartment to a Mediterranean house in Bel Air.

It’s rare that… The words “whimsical” and “architectural” can go together, but somehow, Rosie Li pulls it off. I’m a pretty big risk-taker in general. I tend to think that there are less “rules” in decorating than most others do. When I look at Bubbly I smile, because they really went for it, and to that I can relate. On trend: The piece is gold, layered and extravagant yet with a playful curvature. All of these elements are on trend, but especially the idea of pairing opposites: extravagance with function, playfulness with formality. When it comes to luxury design… It’s all in the details, but sometimes the details can often be painstaking and much easier to just forego. When a designer like Li has spent time on the finishing touches, you can easily spot the difference. The fixture against this backdrop… Is a marriage of two ideas: respect for the past and boldness for the future. It’s a delicate balance to strike, and here it’s done very well.
BAUBLE BAR
THE PIECE: Bubbly 08-Light Linear Chandelier THE DESIGNER: Rosie Li FIND IT: rosieli.com THE INSPIRATION: Inspired by soap bubbles and Newton’s law of universal gravitation, Brooklyn-based Rosie Li married maximalism with geometric elegance to create a stellar brass lighting system—a sculptural take on the traditional linear chandelier.
MARKET / SPOTLIGHT
ABOVE THE FOLD THE PIECE: Origami Table Lamp THE DESIGNER: François Champsaur for Pouenat FIND IT: hollyhunt.com THE INSPIRATION: Calling on the ancient art of origami, François Champsaur’s angular brass table lamp explores the infinite possibilities offered by metal, with the sharp, decorative lines of the material clearly on display.
DAVID MONTALBA
ARCHITECT MONTALBAARCHITECTS.COM
François Champsaur’s work shows… A strong, consistent support of extremely high-quality design and unique craftsmanship. The folded metal planes and the focus of the light on the material’s surface feel very architectural and intentional. It reminds me of both contemporary sculpture and some of our own work: It’s rooted in the past with its cast fabrication, but its form suggests a contemporary relationship and progress. On trend: This particular finish feels timeless, possibly vintage or repurposed. Lately, there has been a push toward recycled, conscious fashion, so in that respect, this piece feels in line with the current zeitgeist of design. When it comes to luxury design… A bespoke piece, be it for clothing or interiors, always feels like more of a privilege than whatever massproduced product it’s up against. Playing a role in crafting what you wear, or how you live, is the ultimate in luxury. In composition: The sculptural qualities of the lamp are very elegant, giving it a sense of formality. The polished continuity of the fixture against the rough brick background really highlights its simplicity and clean lines. A strong contrast is visually engaging; this opposition inspires dialogue.
CHRISTINA BRYANT TEXTILE MAVEN STFRANK.COM
Pelle’s use of form and material is… Enchanting. Their compositions come across as both deconstructed and refined—I love that apposition. I’m all about taking risks. This is an exceptionally whimsical sconce, and it has much more of an organic shape than I’m used to seeing from Pelle. In that way, I think it’s a risk well-taken. My line of work demonstrates… My love for—and belief in—the beauty of juxtaposing texture and shape. That same quality draws me to the Lure sconce. On trend: Lure’s mix of hard and soft, the sleek metallic with the organic cast flower, is a combination we’re seeing in fashion right now. That, along with the costume-like romance and femininity of the petals, makes this piece very much in style. The rustic, industrial backdrop… Contrasted against these delicate sconces accentuates their sensuality as well as their clean-lined hardware. The way the light is cast toward the flowers creates shadowy silhouettes that echo their shapes, which is really captivating.
STEEL MAGNOLIAS THE PIECE: Lure Sconce THE DESIGNER: Pelle FIND IT: pelledesigns.com THE INSPIRATION: Enlisted for its structural strength yet technical delicacy, the magnolia served as the muse for Pelle’s Lure sconce. A suspended LED light, held by a slender brass arc, illuminates the fixture’s hand-sculpted cast-paper petals.
MARKET / SPOTLIGHT
IN PLAIN SIGHT THE PIECE: Lumenariums in High and Low THE DESIGNER: John Pomp FIND IT: johnpomp.com THE INSPIRATION: Stirred by the idea of creating an environment for light to live, John Pomp captured the beauty of an illuminated cityscape contained within a pair of milky glass-crystal cloches.
RYAN KORBAN
INTERIOR DESIGNER RYANKORBAN.COM
I like the artisanal feel of John Pomp’s work. He is a true craftsman, which is something I am attracted to as a designer. On trend: In a world where design is often over-saturated and everything tends to look the same, I think Pomp’s Lumenariums feel original. I’m constantly searching for pieces that are authentic, and this hits that note. Silhouette is… Often the most important aspect of lighting, and the sophistication of this particular piece is really in its silhouette. When it comes to luxury design… People love great pieces but don’t want their environment to feel too decorated. People are eager for statement items, but are not looking for a polished, matching ensemble. Rather, they want to mix and match; it’s a fresher perspective. In composition: I love the juxtaposition of the lights and the backdrop. It is that perfect combination of something custom and refined with something super undone that sparks emotion. I am always inspired by the intersection of product and environment. Opposites attract. And that could not be truer than in design. This kind of contrast makes people feel—not just see. It evokes emotion that cannot be replicated.
GEO LOGIC THE PIECE: The Wrongski THE DESIGNER: Jean-Pascal Gauthier FIND IT: jeanpascalgauthier.com THE INSPIRATION: Here, a geometric mélange of acrylic, brass, mirror and glass keeps with the suspended and balanced mobile style of Jean-Pascal Gauthier’s portfolio, which is steadily influenced by the Bauhaus movement.
STEPHANIE VON WATZDORF CREATIVE DIRECTOR FIGUE.COM
Jean-Pascal Gauthier’s work reminds me of… The Russian Constructivism movement that started in 1913 by Vladimir Tatlin, along with sculptor Alexander Calder’s work—which I love. It resembles a mobile: I like the harmony of the shapes and the mix of the triangle with the big and small bulbs. I always look to interior design… For inspiration in my own work; both worlds complement each other. I look at proportions, colors, textures, fabrics and overall elegance. In terms of luxury design: For me, quality equates to luxury. Statement piece: Any piece that is unexpected and has an interesting balance and shape to it, like the Wrongski pendant, is a “statement piece” to me. The raw iron and textured background… Juxtaposed with the clean finished lines of this hanging sculptural light fixture is especially striking. I am always looking for the unexpected: Risk can create incredible beauty and harmony. Here, the fixture is set in a surrounding that is totally contrary to what one would assume. The vintage, rusty, antiqued background with the angular, clean metal and modern shape of the lighting fixture is an unexpected contrast.
MARKET / SPOTLIGHT
ROCK STEADY THE PIECE: Sender One Side Lamp THE DESIGNER: Christina Zamora FIND IT: brave-matter.com THE INSPIRATION: Christina Zamora's decision to employ waxed brass to pierce a piece of variegated salt crystal creates a statement-making lamp that ditches convention for something altogether more refreshing.
GEORGE AUGUSTO CREATIVE DIRECTOR STAUD.CLOTHING
Brave Matter’s pieces are… Overtly midcentury and, at times, lean toward 1960s Pop art. In this particular piece… I like that the beauty comes from only two elements: the brass stem and a salt crystal light fixture. Making such a simple piece is deceptively difficult. The mix of materials is… A perfect balance between feminine and masculine. Luxury design used to be… Primarily based on price, but I think that’s changed. Today, it’s about being special and the combination of high and low: the ability to fuse a wide range of elements and include a piece with some emotion or nostalgia. On trend: The midcentury revival exploded in the late ’90s and hasn’t let up since. This fixture fits right in with that aesthetic. In composition: The juxtaposition of the raw environment makes you further appreciate the total refinement of the light fixture. Such a contrast allows you to see certain aspects of each aesthetic with a clarity that would otherwise not be possible.

THE MUST-SEE EVENT IN HOME FURNISHINGS Celebrating 107 years, High Point Market is the world’s largest and most important home furnishings trade show. Each spring and fall, more than 75,000 home furnishings professionals come to High Point to experience the products, trends and innovations—and meet the people—that are moving home fashion forward. We spoke with three leading interior designers to hear what they were looking forward to seeing at the Spring 2017 High Point Market and capture just some of the energy and excitement that make Market Week the fashion week of home furnishings.
ADVERTISEMENT
Corey Damen Jenkins Corey Damen Jenkins & Associates, LLC “I’m excited to see some of the specific 2017 spring colors that were identified by the trend forecasters at Fashion Snoops—particularly the combination of Pantone 19-3921, Pantone 17-4911 and Pantone 15-309. Our firm is coincidentally building a home for one of our clients with these exact colors as the main palette of the first floor. Together they create a very fresh and vibrant color story, but it’s also sexy and sophisticated as well. I’m looking forward to pushing traditional boundaries with these hues. I also really appreciated what Jamie Drake had to say about how fashion and interior design are essentially in a symbiotic relationship. His statement, ‘Most of the rules can be broken if done with sophistication and style,’ should be printed on t-shirts and given out to clients.”
Kerrie Kelly Kerrie Kelly Design Lab “We are so inspired by the Old Havana and Cove trends that Fashion Snoops has forecast for the coming year. With our renewed access to the old-world elegance and excitement of Cuba and our constant desire to be near the coastline, these two color trends are paving the way for a much-anticipated shift in the design world. The Cove color trend speaks to us particularly because of our California roots. Every time we drive down the coast we are inspired by something new—waves breaking against the shore, a beachfront cafe or the laid-back style of our fellow Californians.”
Elissa Grayer Elissa Grayer Interior Design “I attend High Point Market to see and touch everything new in the industry. By being there twice a year I get to experience an incredible world of new products and absorb the talent and inspiration on display around me. I bring that enthusiasm back to my clients! Don’t forget to wear the most comfortable shoes and enjoy all the food and drink the showrooms provide.”

CLEVER DESIGN AND UNEXPECTED SOURCES OF INSPIRATION CONVERT THE HOME’S HARDEST-WORKING HUBS INTO GUEST-READY SPACES PRIMED FOR ENTERTAINING. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER
Just like the best hostesses exude warmth and hospitality so, too, do standout spaces. A home that’s fit for entertaining should make handling a crowd look effortless, especially in its most hightraffic zones. Good flow, eye-catching finishes, high-performing appliances and, of course, comfort are fundamental factors in creating areas that invite crowds to linger. Whether it’s a kitchen built for sipping and socializing around a supersized island, or a powder room with enough pizzazz to make a lasting impression, your home’s busiest rooms should be ready to face the public at a moment’s notice. Here, a look at party-ready spaces and products that are as stylish as they are functional. 174 / LUXESOURCE.COM

RESTAURANT QUALITY SMITH HANES
The details-obsessed visionary behind the look of Atlanta’s hottest eateries, including The Optimist and Le Fat, is known for his warm, industrial aesthetic. For this handsome residential kitchen, designer Smith Hanes used reclaimed materials and earthy neutrals to create an atmosphere that feels both vintage and timeless. smithhanes.com
What can homeowners best learn from restaurant design? The most important thing is the lighting. The ideal plans incorporate multiple light sources on many surfaces, like under the open shelving and in the pantry. The goal is always to put people at ease and make them look and feel their best in their surroundings.
Definitely not for the clutter-prone, this showstopper pantry features custom-made steel-and-glass enclosures, playing off the materials used in the adjoining kitchen.
176 / LUXESOURCE.COM
Describe your signature “soft industrial” look. We use materials that are characteristic of the industrial era, such as metal, glass and brick, to create a variety of textures. Pairing them with lighter colors, like cream, blush, pale gray or even, in this case, wood tones, helps to create a softer, warming effect.
PHOTO: ANDREW THOMAS LEE. STYLING: THOM DRIVER.
Share your vision for the space. The kitchen is meant to function as a place where a large family can gather, so we did an open plan with enough seating for 10 to 12 people. The client had a photo of a wall of cabinets made from old doors and windows; that was the inspiration for the glass pantry.

IN THE NAVY While a simmering pot is usually best kept out of sight from guests, you might want to make an exception for the new collaboration between venerable French cookware company Staub and Food 52. Sporting the on-trend combination of midnight blue with brass accents, the collection is a stylish addition to your stovetop repertoire. food52.com
In recent years, the wall space behind the stove has become the de rigueur place to make an artistic statement in the kitchen. Take the chevron backsplash from Nashville designer April Tomlin, for example, who created the Navajo-inspired design shown here out of MDF covered with fire-safe paint. “I was bored with traditionally used tile,” she says. Open shelves and a snowy white quartz countertop ensure all eyes are on her handiwork. apriltomlin.com

DUTCH treat For this sophisticated kitchen, San Francisco-based designer Nicole Hollis found her muse in an unusual place: a Flemish still-life painting. A moody mix of materials, including steel-framed glass upper cabinets and a gray island topped with Belgian blue limestone, stand in stark contrast with white lower cabinets and a Calacatta Gold marble backsplash. Low-lighting creates ambience and intrigue—the perfect dinner party guests. nicolehollis.com 178 / LUXESOURCE.COM
Ask any chef or caterer: An oversize refrigerator is the unsung hero of effortless entertaining. And with a tray that slides out to accommodate commercial-size sheet pans, the latest built-in model from Blue Star is both workhorse and eye candy— available in 750 customizable colors, including this deep indigo. Its interior is just as attractive as its exterior, thanks to a sleek stainless-steel lining, which makes it not only goodlooking, but better at insulating cold air, as well. bluestarcooking.com

Smoky Rose wallpaper by House of Hackney sets a charming tone for this Studio McGee-designed powder room. A Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co. sconce and Kohler Purist faucet break up the high-contrast black-and-white scheme with warm, brass accents.
Just because it’s a half bath doesn’t mean it can’t be full of style. Small in square footage but big in personality, powder rooms are the perfect forum to express your individuality and design philosophy—after all, you’ve got a captive audience. One way to make an impression? Let a unique wallpaper guide the overall concept, as designer Shea McGee did in this Salt Lake City powder room. “I fell in love with the vintage vibe of this rose print, which inspired the classic feel of the bath as well as the more masculine black-and-white palette,” she says.

OUR GUIDE TO BEING THE ULTIMATE HOST THIS HOLIDAY SEASON. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER
BE OUR GUEST The calendar year may be winding down, but party season is just getting into gear. November and December bring an onslaught of invites, with champagne toasts, air kisses and general good cheer to follow. ’Tis the season to cast open one’s doors and welcome friends, family and acquaintances into the home. With that in mind, we tapped some of our favorite design and event experts for their advice. For instance, beautiful table settings, like the ones seen here, build a sense of anticipation and announce to guests that they are in for a magical evening. It’s just one of a dozen ways to create a gracious and festive mood. Read on for more in our first-ever Luxe report on entertaining.

When metalworker Xavier Pauchard created the prototype for the galvanized French bistro chair in the early 20th century, he intended the simple sheet-metal creation to be used in factories. One wonders what he might think of this new iteration of the classic form. Party-ready in chic brass and fine leather, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come a long way from its humble origins. michelevarian.com

Hospitality begins at the front door; so, consider the foyer the cohost of your welcoming party, and style it accordingly. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better way to make a first impression than with a statement-making staircase. In this dramatic space, Los Angeles designer Betsy Burnham melded modern and Moroccan elements for maximum impact. In stark black and white, the mosaic tile stair risers are both sophisticated and playful. burnhamdesign.com

Not all gatherings require formal attire and canapes; sometimes, the most memorable evenings unfurl over a raucous game of Scrabble with friends. This sunny spot by Dallas-based Collins Interiors was conceived as a casual place to entertain and play board games. And since every festivity-filled night has a morning after, the area doubles as a breakfast nook, where the upholstered barrel chairs offer a comfortable perch to sip coffee and ease into the day. collins-interiors.com

Select foliage with interesting movement and choose an unexpected vessel. Use flower specimens in a range of shapes, textures and colors: Building a palette that includes some darker moments helps create drama. Consider the existing architecture and dĂŠcor of the space that your arrangement will inhabit. The container, flower selections and arrangement size should always complement the interiors.

Good riddance to the days when the kitchen remained hidden from guests. Today, it’s more common for cookspaces to feature dazzling finishes meant for prime time, as in this downtown NYC loft designed by Jenny Wolf. With old-world herringbone wood floors, dark gray-stained cabinetry and open shelving, the effect is equal parts rustic and industrial. A generous island provides plenty of surface area for guests to congregate and graze. The shining star of the space, however, is the backsplash. “I love an antique mirror wall, and I thought it would be a great way to reflect some of the light from the three large casement windows on the opposite wall,” she says. “Not only does it make a beautiful backsplash, but it’s also surprisingly easy to clean.” jennywolfinteriors.com

PYRAMID SCHEME
Sideboards are often perfunctory pieces meant to quietly sit, well, on the sidelines. Not so for this stunner from Thatcher and Shannon Davis, the husband-and-wife duo behind design company Selamat. Inspired by pioneering Australian designer Florence Broadhurst’s Pyramids fabric, this hand-carved wood credenza is the perfect combination of Italian 1970s Brutalist geometry and Hollywood Regency glamour. selamatdesigns.com

ECLECTIC MIX
“Formal, but never fussy” could be the motto for this elegant dining room by Santa Monica, California-based interior designer Jeffrey Alan Marks. “I like to put my own spin on a room this traditional to keep it from feeling too stuffy,” he says. While the detail-rich crown molding was already in place, Marks added wainscot and lacquered the walls deep blue to ground the space, which seamlessly blends old and new. A contemporary light fixture from David Weeks, an abstract screenprint by James Nares and a jewel-toned geometric rug add just the right amount of edge, and go a long way in creating this lush and layered look. jam-design.com

While dashing off an email certainly gets the job done, there’s nothing like a handwritten thank you note to show your appreciation for a thoughtful gift or an enjoyable meal. All the better if that note is steeped in design history.

bedside manners
An overnight guest should feel completely at home and pampered at the same time. To that end, designer Blue Carreon follows a simple philosophy: “I like to put as much thought into guest bedrooms as I do for my own room,” he says. One look at his bedroom in Manila, and you can see why this is a winning approach. Dark gray paneled walls create a cocoon-like effect that’s ideal for slumber, while fresh flowers, a water carafe and plenty of reading material make great bedside companions. With a space this inviting, your guests may never want to leave. bluecarreonhome.com

aving a clear design vision doesn’t always come easily, but one Chicago couple knew exactly what they wanted when they decided to build a new home in historic Hinsdale, with years of travel and more than a passing interest in architecture and interiors informing the overall concept. “The project was inspired by a love of English and French country homes, with deep courtyards to bring in light and act as additional rooms,” says Andrea Burridge, who led the interior design aspect of the project. “The thought was, ‘Let’s try to do a house like that here, without having it look pretentious and like a fortress.’ ” The couple’s first step was to do some serious research, poring over design and architectural blogs—which is how they discovered architect Ken Pursley. “Ken’s name kept popping up,” the wife recalls. “I went to his website and fell even more in love with his work. Then, I called him out of the blue.” Soon afterward, Pursley, whose firm is based in North Carolina, flew up for a consult. The homeowners had provided him with a rudimentary floor plan, a plethora of images and tear sheets they had collected throughout the years and even photos they had taken of a particular Lake Forest home. In response, Pursley, along with project manager Mark Kline, created an elevation drawing based on their inspirations. “Ken really envisioned the concept,” Burridge says. “He even figured out who the architect of the Lake Forest home was and when it was built. He’s one of the best architects out there right now, but it doesn’t get in the way of his listening to an owner.” In this case, Pursley recalls his clients having differing visions. “In his mind, the husband wanted a traditional family home—comfortable and approachable,” he says. “But, the wife wanted a little bit of an edge to it. The trick was trying to find that line of making the house look traditional and grounded and like it fit into the neighborhood yet also have a little bit of seductiveness and intrigue.”
This elegant Hinsdale home includes a garage on each side and is accessed via a central courtyard. Exterior detailing includes exposed brick, limestone accents, painted shutters and fantail hip roofs. A sweep of green lawn punctuates the architecture, while creeping ivy makes a grand statement.

The solution was designing a layout that had an element of surprise, playing up what was visible from the outset to create private areas. “The planning was so different from most houses,” Pursley says. “By placing the garage structures in the front, it allowed those more modest elements to mask the main house and courtyard beyond.” As a result, the home doesn’t reveal everything from the street; rather, its compelling layout unfolds after stepping inside. Within the home’s stately walls—finished with reclaimed Chicago common brick and topped with slate fantail hip roofs—the interior walks the line between traditional and modern. “The main theme is a mix of rustic and old with modern and contemporary, a combination of catalogued thoughts, details and images,” Burridge says. “It’s a clean, edited space that still has warmth to it and doesn’t feel too austere.”
An elegant entry foyer greets guests with a neutral palette, giant slabs of creamy stone flooring, horizontal wood paneling and a graceful staircase with a customdesigned X-shaped baluster inset, a nod to the initial of the wife’s maiden name. From there, a white-on-white gallery-like space connecting the home’s two wings leads to primary living and entertaining areas. On the main floor, an ample great room with reclaimed Belgian white-oak floors features an ecru sectional paired with a walnutand-bronze coffee table. Large wooden ceiling beams, reclaimed from a barn in West Virginia, provide the sense of warmth and approachability the husband desired. This feeling of comfort continues in the kitchen, where the concept of selective reveals is also furthered. “It’s a trend in new construction to elevate the expected aesthetics of a kitchen, like a waterfall island, and tuck away the workhorse

elements, such as ovens and warming drawers,” consulting kitchen designer Laura O’Brien of O’Brien Harris says of the idea behind the design. “It balances the structure of the space.” Private areas, including the master suite and the husband’s study, are situated on the main level as well, while four bedrooms upstairs and one in the basement accommodate guests, including two of the couple’s grown children. “The upstairs can be completely closed up when we’re here by ourselves,” the wife says. Executing the significant detailing throughout the project was no small task. “The architecture was very complex, detailed and authentic,” says general contractor Dave Knecht, who worked on the home with project manager Mike Zalud. “We meticulously handpicked our subcontractors to create a team that met our stringent standards and executed the construction details seamlessly.”
Another challenge was nestling the new house into its more established surroundings. Principal landscape architect Craig Bergmann and project architect Erin Marie Herrera created a modern design that nods to the history of the area. “The owners wanted a current garden, nothing old-fashioned,” Bergmann explains. “We protected existing mature blue spruce to match the scale of the new house, hedged in spaces that were more exposed to the street and added English ivy to exterior walls. It was based on traditional gardening principles but more out of the modern garden box.” As a result, “everything works and lives exactly as we all thought it would,” the wife says. “The team interpreted everything perfectly. It’s remarkable.” To Pursley, the project is an example of different design talents working as a cohesive unit. “When the elements of architecture, interior design, landscaping and construction come together so fluidly,” he says, “it makes for a truly special place.”

GREEN THUMB AN ARTIST-TURNED-PROPRIETOR FINDS HER CALLING IN PLANTS AND HOME DÃ&#x2030;COR, OFFERING WARES WITH A CLEAN-LINED, MODERN BENT. WRITTEN BY JENNIE NUNN / PHOTOGRAPHY BY NINA CHOI
Tara Heibel’s custom floral arrangements, which she creates for weddings, events and even walk-in customers to her store, Sprout Home, have a unique modern twist. Her store offerings include terrariums, such as Bolsk’s hanging sphere (below).
T
ara Heibel is a self-admitted “plant dork.” But this wasn’t always so. Growing up in Erie, Pennsylvania, Heibel, who once had aspirations to be a professional ballerina, always knew she wanted to work in a creative field. She studied painting and fine art at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and moved to Chicago in 1995 after falling in love with the friendly art scene, yet she didn’t imagine she would find her creative calling while on a mission to find a simple concrete planter. “I like things that have a little bit more of a modernist lean, and there wasn’t really anything out there,” Heibel says. “I wanted a garden center that I could go to that had a little bit more interesting objects, and I wanted to give a selection to people and think outside of traditional terra-cotta pots, so to speak.” LUXESOURCE.COM / 225
Amidst the plant-filled space, Sprout Home stocks hard-to-find inventory such as Mexaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Acapulco lounge chair and blankets by Hillery Sproatt (both shown at top) and features displays created by the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design team (above and right). The shop also carries distinct terrariums in various shapes and sizes (opposite).
“I WANTED TO GIVE A SELECTION TO PEOPLE AND THINK OUTSIDE THE TRADITIONAL TERRA-COTTA POTS.”
Thus became the foundation and ethos of Sprout Home, the Chicago-based garden design studio and home décor boutique Heibel established in the West Town neighborhood in 2003. “My biggest muse is plants,” she explains. “The shape, texture, color and movement can vary drastically. These qualities fuel the creative process.” Sprout Home offers design services, garden education classes and florals for weddings and events as well as sources unique and hard-to-find wares. Heibel stocks the store with such items as midcentury Haeger pots; handmade, patchworklike blankets from local artist Hillery Sproatt; and retro vessels culled from flea markets. She also scours the globe to track down showstopping pieces like leaded-glass-and-copper geometricshaped terrariums by Canadian designer Alexander McLachlin of Nightshade Studio that resemble miniature asteroids. “They are my obsession of the week,” Heibel says. “We pride
ourselves on finding things that are special. The hunt is part of the fun.” Since founding the store, Heibel has gone on to open Chicago’s Sprout Home Kitchen + Table, which offers a bevy of dining wares, as well as a second Sprout Home location in Brooklyn. She also co-wrote Rooted in Design: Sprout Home’s Guide to Creative Indoor Planting with business partner Tassy de Give, started a Sprout Home line of plates designed by Penguin Foot Pottery and has plans in the works for other store locations throughout the country as well as an expansion of the Sprout Home line. Opening her own garden center 13 years ago might not have been the creative career path Heibel imagined, but she feels right at home surrounded by greenery. “To be able to say our stores have not only survived but are thriving proves I did the right thing,” she says. “Plus, I get to hang out with plants and flowers all day. I just feel really fortunate.” LUXESOURCE.COM / 227

hink bigger. That was the advice designers Steve Somogyi and Filip Malyszko suggested to a recently married couple about the redesign of their new apartment in a 10-year-old building with expansive skyline views in the bustling West Loop. “They initially brought us in just to decorate,” Malyszko says of the revamp, “but they were so young and hip, and the place had so much potential, that we really wanted to make it spectacular.” To introduce an industrial feel into the space, the designers stripped some walls of their drywall to expose the concrete structural columns underneath. At first, “it was this vanilla box with beige walls,” Malyszko describes. Exposing the concrete, he explains, adds a textural element the home was lacking. One such column anchors a new, much larger island in the kitchen. Another frames custom cabinetry between the sleeping and seating areas in the master suite, which the designers created by eliminating the wall between two small adjoining bedrooms. “This place has a pretty unique shape, and we thought we could do some interesting things with it,” the husband says, “but we were blown away by their ideas.” Bringing in builder John Wozniak—who worked on the initial development of the unit with FitzGerald Associates Architects, the firm that also served as the architect of record for the renovation—Somogyi and Malyszko carved out a space from the unnecessarily large laundry room, creating a much larger master bathroom with spa-like amenities, as requested by the wife, a busy physician. “I have a stressful job and enjoy taking time for a steam shower,” she explains. “It’s so nice to have all of these comforts.” Another source of comfort is the fireplace the designers added to the end of the long dining area, where a custom concrete mantel anchors a cozy seating area set off by a Moroccan-style shag rug. “There are a few places where

people congregate when we entertain, and that’s one of them,” the wife says with a laugh, pointing out their dog— a rescue mutt named Riley—is the biggest fan. To add more texture and create another focal point, the wall between the living and dining areas was clad with planks of reclaimed wood that have been charred and stained black, creating an effect inspired by the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban technique. “I remember Steve hugging one of the walls, saying, ‘I’m obsessed with the idea of wrapping this wall with reclaimed wood,’” the wife recalls. “Their energy is so infectious.” The reclaimed wood is one of several wallcoverings used throughout the interior, including one made of woven Japanese paper in the master bedroom and a scagliolainspired one in the powder room that complements a custom 232 / LUXESOURCE.COM
metal vanity with a chunky Cararra marble top. “The paper has a cool graphic quality, and in this context it looks like a marble wall,” Somogyi says, explaining how it adds a level of softness and comfort that cannot be achieved with paint. The designers also lobbied the couple to incorporate saturated punches of color to liven up the otherwise neutral palette. The dining chairs, for example, are covered in a dramatic upholstery that has thick colorful stripes— each with a slightly different repeat so no two are alike. “We thought it was a really bold way to introduce color and use it as a springboard for hues throughout the space,” Somogyi says. “They weren’t shy about adding some really vibrant pieces that give it some fun, energy and funkiness.” That carefree sensibility carries into the living room, where a black-and-white rug with a tie-dyed quality creates a graphic

canvas for clean-lined furnishings dressed in neutral fabrics. Colorful pillows and throws, plus West Elm’s round Martini side table, add yet another dimension and playfully contrast with the room’s moody tones and rectilinear lines. “You can achieve a wonderful modernity without having everything be straight lines,” Somogyi says. “In many cases, curves make those lines look even straighter, and when you put them together en masse, they create a wonderful harmony.” The fun vibe continues outside, where mod blue and orange furnishings, as well as an array of plants provided by the Gethsemane Garden Center, add personality to the long balconies on both sides of the unit. Conceived by rooftop garden designer Ashley Ono of Chicago Specialty Gardens—and inspired by an initial plan by Somogyi and Malyszko—the master design of both balconies features flooring covered with porcelain tiles bordered by a bed of black pebbles. “The pebbles added a unique texture, providing a contemporary, calming aesthetic complementing the color palette of the interior design,” says Ono, who also completed the installation of the hardscape. “The architecture of the building provided a space with tight corners and low thresholds, creating some obstacles during the design process, so getting everything to fit together like a puzzle was very gratifying.” To ensure the views from inside the house are as spectacular as those from the patio, the designers had the formerly almond-colored window casings painted dark bronze and much of the white ceiling lacquered in a slate blue hue. “In the daytime, the ceiling and the sky blend together,” Malyszko says. “At night, the window frame disappears, and you can just see the city lights.” Although the scope of the project ballooned far beyond their early intentions, the owners are thrilled with the results of their new abode. “Steve and Filip pushed our limits, but we’re so happy we did this with them,” the wife says. “My husband’s style and my style were pretty divergent, but this place marries it together in ways we never expected. As I walk through the house, it makes me smile.”

F
irst impressions are everything, and this custom-built four-story family home in Lakeview is certainly accustomed to double takes—with strangers often approaching the owners, gushing about the curb appeal. “I’ve had other clients show me a picture of this house, not knowing that I was involved in the project, and tell me it’s their favorite exterior in Chicago,” says interior designer Georgeann Rivas, who collaborated on the project with business partner Stephanie Wirth. The structure, built by brothers and general contractors Bob Mangan and John Mangan, features a creamy façade of reclaimed brick—40,000 pieces to be precise—sourced from a circa-1900s Chicago factory. “The salvaged bricks give it more of that tumbled, vintage look the wife was seeking,” Bob Mangan says of the exterior, which the wife suggested be dressed in paint.
Fashioning a newly constructed home with century-old materials was not paradoxical caprice. Rather, it was the carefully calibrated work of a creative team passionately fulfilling the wishes of a couple whose interior design tastes vary: his favoring the current and up-to-date; hers romanced by the patina and styles of the past. Rivas accepted the challenge of creating a home that encompasses both interests. “As a designer, my role is to take what my clients’ influences are and elevate them,” she says. Merging the historical and present-day, Rivas, in concert with the wife, set the mood with lush throwback details (think Persian coffee tables, period lighting and an antique bar cart), hushed lighting and vintage furnishings that balance masculine traces—clean lines, smart fabrics and understated essentials. The interiors blend old and new: Decorative moldings allude to a bygone era, while custom-stained 4-inch-wide
Interior designer Georgeann Rivas conjured up a light palette for the family room, which opens into the kitchen. Understated pieces such as a generous custom sofa in sandy linen from Quatrine, a wingback chair from Crate & Barrel and an RH coffee table provide the laidback vibe the owners sought.

The lamps are vintage, and an Oushak rug, also from Jayson Home, completes the scene.
red-oak floors keep the tempo current. The two women were in sync, narrating their design journey with mixed metals, textures and unexpected moments, such as a French-inspired daybed for the living room instead of a traditional sofa. From the first meeting, Rivas knew she had found an ideal collaborator in the wife and mother of three. “She has such cool style that I remember questioning if she even needed an interior designer,” Rivas recalls. The wife’s design eye stems from a variety of aesthetic loves: Paris, Nantucket, 1920s glamour, candlelight, antiques, music and vintage lighting. Her father had served as vice president of a clothing store on the East Coast, and childhood adventures accompanying him on buying trips to Ralph Lauren in New York left an indelible mark. “I think probably looking at all the suit fabrics made me who I am,” she says. “I love tailored clothing and anything that looks like a men’s suit.”
Rivas translated that sartorial vibe via flannel stripes adorning the entry, a herringbone wall treatment in the lowerlevel bathroom and a wall upholstered in a dashing plaid in the butler’s pantry. That slight space summons Prohibitionera swank with shiny black cabinetry, a green lacquered ceiling and unique miniature cabinet knobs. “She really elevated my hardware game,” Rivas says of the wife’s flair for such details. The client, meanwhile, calls Rivas “a master of color,” citing the designer’s shade selections for the dining room—a gray that flirts with pink—and the kitchen’s palette, inspired by Gwyneth Paltrow’s gray kitchen. The owners’ must-haves for their new home included various outdoor living areas and a bunkroom in the finished basement for the kids’ sleepover parties. But at the top of their list was a generous kitchen and family room area. With the open floor plan, Rivas created a seamless transition from one room to the next, ensuring neither space competed with the other.

The husband’s taste for traditional design reigns in the master bathroom, which features sophisticated details and finishes. The bathtub from Ferguson luxuriates in fixtures by Waterworks and is accented with herringbone pattern floor tiles purchased at Home Carpet One.
In the kitchen, across from a Calacatta Gold marbletopped island, a wall of custom cabinetry embellished with cremone bolts marries utility and decoration. “My favorite thing about that wall is the restoration glass,” Rivas says. “It’s so indicative of what I think the wife’s style is—something that has a lot of beauty but also has some history.” Nearby, the family room exudes a carefree beachside mood with textured accents and an enveloping ecru sofa. French doors open to the exterior, where the husband’s urbane influence is captured on the multilevel patio areas— with places for grilling and hosting impromptu get-togethers— through chic porcelain pavers and an elegant pergola. The decorative structure frames an outdoor dining area situated above the garage, which the Mangans cleverly designed around a maple tree that could provide a canopy of privacy.
Hydrangeas and white Nonstop begonias star in the refined landscape design conjured by Marguerite Gluck, noted gardener and proprietress of botanical boutique Marguerite Gardens, which has two Chicago locations. “Her style is romantic but original, and she prefers softer colors,” Gluck says of the wife. “We would lay out the garden with everything still in the grow pots, step back and edit and repeat until it looked pleasing to her. Then, everything went into the soil. It was fun working together because we have the same aesthetic.” In the end, “this house morphed into something different than I had imagined,” the wife muses. “Originally, I was thinking more beach house and a little more modern, but it went sophisticated. Once you start with one little idea, it’s amazing how it just plays out.
A bed by Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams holds court in the master bedroom. Seeking serenity here, Rivas washed the walls in Benjamin Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sleigh Bells. The calming tone is balanced by creamy antique nightstands and a bench from Ashley & Sloane.
