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.

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.

RADAR / ON DISPLAY
The rich colors and dreamy gaze of this hand-stitched piece of portraiture, titled Abbi, 2013, by Missouri-based artist Cayce Zavaglia, bring Renaissance art to mind.
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

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.

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

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.”

#INSTACRUSH @household_no.6
WHO: Heather Widdison, the blogger behind Household No. 6, who chronicles the construction and design of her family’s chic country abode in Fort Collins on Instagram with a feed full of dreamy, light-filled shots and insider tips. WHAT: Design is in the details, and Widdison proves it with up-close shots of her home’s interiors: a rough-hewn beam there, shiplap here and sprigs of wheat throughout. It’s these fresh Western details that lend just the right tactile touch to the recently completed farmhouse for her family of six.
CHECK IN HALCYON
Halcyon made waves in August as the newest hotel to the Cherry Creek North area in more than a decade. Surrounded by high-class shopping and dining, the 154-room building prides itself on its ability to blur the lines between hotel and home. Upon arrival, head to the Kitchen Counter, a multipurpose check-in desk that offers espresso, local beer and other beverages. Other amenities include a rooftop pool and bar and two on-site eateries. The suites reveal a simplistic design accomplished with an earthy palette, organic furnishings and easy-toslip-into bedding. But beyond high-thread-count sheets and plush mattresses, Halcyon encourages guests to take advantage of its Gear Garage program, which provides a bevy of fun transportation options, from Vespas and bicycles to longboards, to get out and explore Denver in style. halcyonhotelcherrycreek.com
WHY: Neutrals are never boring on this handle, and Widdison’s appeal lies in her talent for transforming a handful of thrift store scores into stylish accent pieces, proving good design doesn’t have to be expensive. IN HER WORDS: “I follow a lot of amazing designers on Instagram, but I try to stay true to myself and what I like. If I’m drawn to something, I imagine how I can create a space with it and go from there. I really try and think outside the box and be as creative as possible.”
With the mountain landscape as her muse, Kirsten Coe of Lasso Design has an eye for muted tones, aged patinas and pieces that nod to the wildness of the West. “I enjoy balancing contrasts, like modern with an edge or tailored with some rock and roll,” she says. “We’re all a little wild at heart, so I try to pull that out in each project.” With a background in art and lighting design, Coe transferred her creative-thinking abilities to architecture and construction, gravitating to artists, weavers and outdoor adventurists for inspiration. Coe’s desire to step outside the box enables her to uniquely transform a house into a home. Recently, we set her loose in her hometown of Denver to share what’s intriguing and inspiring her this season. lassodesign.com
Happening in Denver: I love Denver’s entrepreneurial spirit. The city is growing and changing so rapidly, and I love seeing the innovation and risk-taking that comes with that. I am also really proud of the neighborhoods that are really focused on place-making, not just profit-making. Smart, community-driven developments are popping up all over our city—like Arvada, which is leading the way. Can’t get enough of… Cool plants; they have become such a focal point in design these days. Planted is one of my favorite shops. Owner Luke Huss is the most knowledgeable person on plants I’ve ever met. He has a great 122 / LUXESOURCE.COM
modern aesthetic, offers custom woodworking and has an overflowing passion for nature. I’m dying to find a project that I can collaborate with him on. Ones to watch: I closely follow the restaurant industry, and I think our local designers are producing some really interesting spaces. My favorites include Abejas in Golden, with its nod to climbing, and The Way Back in Highlands, with its gorgeous steelwork incorporated throughout. Restaurants, offices and retail spaces are the places I keep an eye on because they have the greatest design gift of trying to tell a story about the brand and share an experience.

ELISABETH COOK: DEDALO LIVING
9 a.m. Head to Stowaway Coffee + Kitchen for espresso and the (Welcome to) Colorful Colorado bowl. It’s the most divine combination of eggs, potatoes and this to-die-for spicy adobo sauce. 10 a.m. Studio Como is across the street and the ideal way to kick off a design tour of Denver. The showroom, headed by Brad Fentress, is the pinnacle of style thanks to the plethora of major European modern luxury lines, like B&B Italia, Minotti and Flexform. 11 a.m. A manicure at Haven is a must on a shopping day. During the winter months, The Sea manicure is the only antidote for dry, chapped hands. Once your nails dry, walk down the block to take in some of the city’s finest street art. My favorite is Larimer Boy and Girl by artist Jeremy Burns at the corner of 27th and Larimer streets. 12 p.m. Step inside Bindery on Blake, one of RiNo’s most storied buildings, housing a collection of artist studios and retail spaces. It is a great example of the kind of socially responsible innovation taking place in Denver’s art and design community. 124 / LUXESOURCE.COM
DATE BOOK PHOTOS: COURTESY DEDALO LIVING.
As principal and designer at Dedalo Living—a bespoke area rug and wall décor company headquartered in Loveland—Elisabeth Cook infuses high fashion into luxury home goods. Before branching out on her own, the Colorado native spent more than a decade working in Italian leather factories developing footwear for prêt-à-porter catwalk shows. “Dedalo allows me to apply many of the techniques I learned with leather to interior design,” says Cook, who calls the discipline her passion. Each rug causes a sensory overload via vibrant patterns, silky hides and buttery leathers inspired by a lifetime of travel. “As a designer and an avid international traveler, it’s hard to not spend all of my time researching and seeking out art and design everywhere I go,” she adds. Much to our delight, Cook agreed to take us on a tour of her favorite area: Denver’s RiNo district, which she insists is the state’s best shopping district. “It’s full of artists, artisans, craftsmen, galleries, great places to eat and drink, and some of the top modern showrooms in town,” she explains. “Because this is still an emerging area, there is always something new to see.” dedaloliving.com 1 p.m. After hitting your morning design quota, it’s time for a light but well-earned and delicious lunch at The Preservery. The grilled cheese is in another stratosphere. 2 p.m. To wake up the body after lunch, Manna Pilates on Larimer Street is an excellent option, offering one-on-one sessions. For something a bit more extravagant, head to the Moth Contemporary Circus Center on Broadway. The trapeze course for mixed levels is just too much fun. 3:30 p.m. One of my favorite workshops in Denver is Where Wood Meets Steel, where they are currently crafting some of the finest modern-meets-organic pieces I’ve seen. They are impossible to describe, so you just have to see them in person at the studio on Washington Street. 5 p.m. Next up is Helikon Gallery & Studios, which is a mashup of artist studios, a contemporary art gallery and a fabulous shop with everything from artist-made cards to rare books, jewelry and original artwork. Wander through the artist studios upstairs—you never know when you will find the perfect piece for your walls.
6 p.m. After taking in all the eye candy, reset with a wine flight at the Infinite Monkey Theorem’s tasting room. The pours are made in the alley of the winery’s RiNo headquarters, and the result is anything but plonk. 7 p.m. Now that we have a little sustenance, we are off to the RiNo Yacht Club for a drink and dinner. I’m a sucker for prosecco and oysters on the half shell, followed by a piece of the Southern-style buttermilk pie with a dollop of Benedictine-sweetened whipped cream. Finish your evening at Svper Ordinary, with its gratifying collection of cool-kid wares.

STUDY in CONTRASTS
CAST AGAINST THE RAW BACKDROP OF A BROOKLYN WAREHOUSE, THE SEASON’S FINEST LIGHTING PIECES SHINE WITH REFINED BRILLIANCE.
PRODUCED BY KATE BERGERON / WRITTEN BY MIMI FAUCETT PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAVID PRINCE / STYLING BY ALEX BRANNIAN
KATIE KIME
ARTIST & DESIGNER KATIEKIME.COM
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.”

I love challenges that allow me to create and interpret something that someone else will experience. Without design and concept there could be no execution of creation.

Success often begets success for those who have equal aptitude and passion for their profession. This is apparent in the dynamic, multifaceted and purposeful work of Abigail-Elise Interiors. Founding principal Wendy Yates, who has loved interior design from an early age, expounds on the philosophies that distinguish her firm and keep a myriad of residential and hospitality clients returning time and time again. “We live with purpose; we engage with diligence; we create with intention; and through design, we provide a culture and environment that is as tailored to each client,” she says. Drawing influences from the tremendous surroundings of the world and daily life experiences, Yates, along with her managing partner Nikki Edson, find equilibrium among the intricate and simplistic, giving way to sophisticated yet warm and casual interiors. Describing her firm as laid-back in attitude but high-paced in execution, Yates and her team are known for working in the moment, frequently creating a design scheme in front of the client rather than in pre-preparation. “Our process is organic,” she says.

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. 188 / 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.
190 / 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.
THE LOOK / KITCHEN + BATH
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
COOL RUNNINGS
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 192 / 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. For more guest-ready powder rooms, turn the page. studio-mcgee.com 194 / LUXESOURCE.COM

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

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

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

estled in a stretch of rolling land outside Carbondale, a low-profile residence artfully blends in with its dramatic surround, appearing as though it was meant to be there. This was CCY Architects’ goal for the residence it devised for designer and environmental advocate Jill Soffer, building a structure that offers views of the entire West Elk Mountains. “Our work is about grabbing the land and becoming part of it,” says Rich Carr, a principal architect on the project and a partner in the firm. “We have a modern agenda, and sustainability is naturally woven into that.” Soffer, who previously lived in Santa Monica, California, but has family in Colorado, had discovered the scenic property during a bicycle ride with her sister-in-law. “I stopped to admire the view and said, ‘This is spectacular,’ ” she recalls. She then noticed a nearby lot with a barn and horse arena, which was for sale. “I didn’t ride horses at the time but eventually bought the property anyway,” she says. “Now, I have five horses.”
224 / LUXESOURCE.COM
To bring her home to life, Soffer collaborated closely with architects who share her passion for sustainability and progressive design: Carr; Chris Touchette, also a principal architect on the project; and staff architect Rory Bilocerkowycz, who is no longer with the firm. Inspired by the homeowner’s affection for the setting and her effort to preserve the larger environment, the architects not only blended the house with the outdoors but also crafted some of the walls with the very rock found in the earth around it. “We used a gabion technique and filled wirebasket forms with red-, brown- and gold-toned rocks we excavated from the site,” Touchette says. The walls reach out into the land, making the structure appear greater than its footprint. “The material evaporates the lines between what’s man-made and what’s natural,” says Carr. The team also incorporated into the design Oklahoma Blue Ledgestone, an elegant gray stone that ties visually to the mountain peaks in the distance.
Architects Rich Carr and Chris Touchette designed a modernist house for designer and environmentalist Jill Soffer to blend with its dramatic property near Carbondale. Cor-Ten steel, glass, site-excavated rock, beetle kill pine and Oklahoma Blue Ledgestone highlight the structure’s streamlined form.
Soffer outfitted the dining area—which connects to the cinematic mountain surround via Weiland sliding glass doors—with a walnut table and walnut-and-leather chairs, all by Holly Hunt. The rug is by Lindström Rugs, and the chandelier is by Moooi. Tables and woven chairs by Janus et Cie offer an alfresco dining option.
Adjacent to the dining space, the open-plan living area features a sculptural fire surround crafted from Oklahoma Blue Ledgestone and site-excavated rock used in a gabion technique. The ceiling is marked by beetle kill pine in a gapped board application.

The mixedmedia artwork is by Anke Schofield.

Soffer worked with staff architect Rory Bilocerkowycz to design the kitchen’s beetle kill pine cabinetry. The Cor-Ten steel backsplash is applied in a random-width board-on-board style. Pendants by Moooi suspend above the island’s steel counter; the bar chairs are by BC Workshop from Blackman Cruz in Los Angeles.
To counter the stone and rock, the architects applied Cor-Ten steel in flat-seamed planks of various widths to both exterior and interior walls. The burnt-orange material displays a dynamic texture that catches Colorado’s golden sunlight and pays tribute to the area’s agrarian structures. “The barn and arena are executed in rusted corrugated metal,” Touchette says. “We wanted the new construction to relate to the existing buildings.” Linking the home to its larger Colorado context, the architects incorporated local beetle kill pine, meticulously so in the wood ceilings and kitchen cabinetry. “We laid the material on the workshop floor and, with Jill and the architects, carefully selected which pieces we would use where to get exactly the right effect,” says builder Ants Cullwick, who worked alongside project managers Adam Sahnow and Mike Chmura. The use of beetle kill pine is one of many sustainable efforts that earned the house a LEED gold rating from the U.S. Green Building Council. Another, used throughout the house, is concrete flooring. “It’s an extra-thick slab that holds heat and coolness longer, moderating the overall interior environment,” Touchette says. Deep overhangs further help stabilize temperature by mitigating sunlight. “We also used triple-pane glass and two types of solar panels,” Carr says. “We always do as much as we can with passive solar design, and then we add in active solar mechanical systems.” Altogether, the elements create an incredibly insulated structure. When it came to crafting the interior, Soffer and the architects brought the exterior materials inside to achieve a strong indoor-outdoor connection. They applied Cor-Ten steel to the kitchen backsplash and built the living area fire surround using Oklahoma Blue Ledgestone and the siteexcavated rock. Soffer, who selected all of the furnishings, customized a credenza for the space, using more beetle kill pine as well as leather. “I wanted to work with craftspeople who live in the Roaring Fork Valley,” she says. “I found a woodworker who built the credenza, and I commissioned a local leatherworker, who wrapped part of it.” It was also important to Soffer to mix those handcrafted elements with some contemporary designs. “I wanted things with texture, that are handmade and crafted and relate to the architecture, but I needed a few simple and

sleek elements to create balance,” she says. “Not every piece should scream for attention.” In the living area, a Minotti sofa offsets the stone of the fire surround, while in the dining area, a massive chandelier by Moooi and a sleek Holly Hunt table and chairs act as a foil to the rustic elements in the adjacent open kitchen. The property’s sweeping view, a visual explosion of mountains, meadow and lake, is unveiled after the rest of the house is revealed more slowly. It’s the focus of this home’s design and the reason the rear façade—in addition to contributing to the passive solar gain during the winter months—is made almost entirely of glass. Landscape architect Shannon Murphy was careful to respect that view as well. “I wanted the landscape to complement the native setting as well as the architecture,” she explains. “For the
plantings around the house, I wanted to capture the essence of the meadow in the distance, so I used catmint, garden sages and wild flowers like lupine, flax and Aspen daisy.” The residence is so joined to its surround that even its rooflines mimic the hillside behind the house, allowing the mountain peaks to rise dramatically in the distance. “Jill is passionate about the environment and advocates for it on a national and local level,” Touchette says. Carr adds: “It was important for this house to sit humbly upon the land because of that, but also because that’s what our work is about.” That connection is not lost on the homeowner or her guests. “When people come over, they don’t remark on the house right away; they say, ‘The view is beautiful,’ ” Soffer says. “And I really love that reaction, because that’s exactly how this house was built. The land is what is special here.”
Beetle kill pine sheathes a wall in the master bedroom, where a custom bed, designed by Soffer and built by Ben Kelly, is upholstered with a Sahco fabric. Soffer also designed the nightstands, which were crafted by Kelly and Chris Chapman. The room spills onto an ample terrace appointed with a chair and an ottoman by Paola Lenti from Niche Beverly in West Hollywood, California.

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY A CENTURY-OLD HOUSE IN CRESTED BUTTEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S HISTORIC DISTRICT COMES TO LIFE WITH A METICULOUS RENOVATION AND LAYERS OF COLOR AND PATTERN. WRITTEN BY JENNIFER SERGENT / PHOTOGRAPHY BY EMILY MINTON REDFIELD

An 1890 Crested Butte house was revived through a thoughtful renovation and bohemian-style interiors. Designer Andrea Monath Schumacher selected furnishings, including a custom sofa upholstered with Holly Hunt velvet and a Palecek armchair, to play off the backdrop established by designer Carolina FechinoAlling, who framed the living room’s stove with Rookwood Pottery Company tile.
A
fter a couple of years of renting in Crested Butte, which was established as a mining town in the late 19th century, Ingrid Gebavi was determined to purchase her own home in the area. “I’m drawn to the charm of old houses,” she explains. And when she first saw the 1890 structure in the Historic District she would ultimately buy, it had all the charm and character she was looking for. But, it also had a lot of challenges. The wood-frame structure had been neglected for years and was in a dilapidated state. Ingrid, however, was undeterred. “I never considered tearing it down,” she says. “I like preserving old homes.” That turned out to be a good decision. “It’s a sweet little house,” says designer Andrea Monath Schumacher. “It’s quintessential Crested Butte.” The vision Ingrid had for the timeworn house was to revive it with a style that both respected the home’s origins and referenced the later influx of hippies who put their stamp on the town in the 1960s and ’70s. To realize the bohemian style of the latter, she hired Schumacher to help with the fabrics, wallpaper and furnishings. But before the designer could work her magic, Ingrid first spearheaded a dramatic top-to-bottom renovation of the run-down home. “I wanted to buy something that needed a lot of work so I could make it my own,” she says. Ingrid had befriended builder James Nichols while she had been renting, and they spent a lot of time discussing the possibilities for the house, including completely reimagining the floor plan, before she had even committed to buying it. “It had no foundation,” he recalls. “The floors had deteriorated, and the walls were sagging.” But he was confident they would be able to raise the house off the ground, excavate a foundation and basement, and gut everything but the outer shell to give Ingrid the home she imagined. “It’s one of the smallest houses I’ve worked on but one of the most detailed,” Nichols says. “Everything was so thoroughly thought through.”

As the renovation progressed, designer Carolina Fechino-Alling worked with the owner to set the pastmeets-present aesthetic by specifying the flooring and tile and designing the intricate millwork and built-ins throughout. “The whole idea was to reference the house’s history, even though the inside is brand-new,” she says. For the walls of the entry foyer, for instance, the designer selected beadboard, “a material used historically in Crested Butte,” she says. From there, the floor plan moves toward an informal kitchen and a living room, where Fechino-Alling incorporated a bohemian reference with circular-patterned ceramic tile that frames a wood-burning stove, softening the black metal. In the kitchen, she worked within a lively palette and had the cabinets hand-painted in a shade of blue and then given a wax finish, an old technique used in the town’s early days, for an aged look.
Once the renovation phase was complete, Ingrid asked Schumacher to build on what Nichols and FechinoAlling had so thoughtfully established. “Andrea came in and added her spark and renewed the energy of the project,” the owner explains. Schumacher worked with a layered approach, wallpapering nearly every surface, hanging beaded trim on fabrics and choosing lighting that resembles jewelry. “She’s got guts,” Schumacher says of the owner. “She wasn’t afraid to take risks.” In the living room, for example, Schumacher designed a tufted sofa, covered it with a shimmery paisley velvet and paired the piece with a custom ottoman dressed with an embroidered textile. “My goal was to create a warm, sophisticated and earthy home,” the designer explains. Inspired by the colors in the existing scheme, Schumacher seized on the blues in the kitchen cabinets to inform many
The lines of the ceiling in the master bedroom made it difficult to have a large headboard, so Schumacher created a canopy using Kaya Medallion fabric by Schumacher. An elegant twotier Jacqueline chandelier by Aerin illuminates the space.

of her selections. “We wanted Ingrid to look beautiful in her space, and she has beautiful blue eyes, so we added more blue everywhere,” the designer says. One notable choice was the seat back fabric in the breakfast nook, an exuberant toile with a vivid blue base. The background color matches the cabinets, while the toile’s other hues— reds and golds—inspire the rest of the room’s palette. Schumacher employed a similar bold approach when it came to selecting a mix of patterns. Across from the breakfast nook’s toile is a funky ikat wallpaper covering the kitchen’s vent hood and a suzani-like fabric paired with stripes on the counter chairs. Upstairs, Schumacher created a luxurious, gypsy-like feel in the master bedroom, cladding its walls with silk grass cloth and crafting a canopy of medallion-print
fabric over the bed. “It was a difficult space to have a large headboard, but with some brainstorming, we came up with the idea for the canopy,” she says. In the adjacent bathroom, to complement the pale-blue shower tile, Schumacher suggested painting the claw-foot tub a similar shade. Ingrid added her own touch of blue by displaying one of her 12 deep-blue Matisse cutouts on the washstand next to the tub, serving as an artful accent. Although Ingrid has a lake house in Wisconsin, she claims Crested Butte as her primary home. And the free-spirited nature of her new hometown now bubbles up effortlessly through its design, a whimsical nod to the area. “I was able to be more adventurous with the décor,” she says, “because I wanted it to reflect the adventurousness of Crested Butte.”
A Sunburst light fixture by Global Views shines over a guest bedroom in the new basement, while Schumacher’s Rajasthan Paisley wallpaper adds to the home’s bohemian lean. Built-in shelving provides stylish storage solutions.

hree years ago, artist Taryn Slawson decided to embark on a journey of personal growth and hit the open road in an Airstream trailer, leaving her Denver home behind. To further her creative spirit, she picked up a small lap loom—something that wouldn’t take up too much room or require too many materials—and taught herself how to weave. Her adventurous plan paid off: Working on her loom outdoors in the Sedona desert or while camping in the Colorado mountains proved to be unexpectedly inspirational for Slawson and ultimately pivotal in setting her new course. “It’s ironic that the time I really tried to consolidate my lifestyle, my creativity became much larger,” she says. Eventually, she felt a strong pull to move beyond the small pieces she was making, so she returned to Denver in 2014 and set up a studio in the RiNo Art District neighborhood with a full-size loom and the space to create on a larger scale.
Though relatively new to weaving, Slawson’s passion for textiles and design began long before. After receiving a degree in apparel design and production from Colorado State University, she interned for several fashion designers in New York, including Diane von Furstenberg. During this time, Slawson found herself envious of colleagues who designed the prints and patterns for the fabrics. “I realized then that textiles were definitely going to be my path,” she explains, “but it’s only recently evolved into actually wanting to create the whole textile, to use my hands and not just design the prints.” Having traded her lap loom for a larger one, Slawson now designs and creates woven textiles intended to be used as wall hangings. She started off using wool as her primary material but quickly made the switch to hemp. “It has a nice weight and a bit of grit to it,” she says. “It’s thicker and more substantial, and I consider my pieces to be pretty bold, so it’s quite fitting.”
A commissioned piece, displaying Slawsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trademark bold patterns, takes shape on the loom. Once completed, the finished work will measure 5-feetwide by 8-feet-tall. Slawsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pug, Stella, rests nearby.

“HEMP HAS A NICE WEIGHT AND A BIT OF GRIT TO IT. IT’S THICKER AND MORE SUBSTANTIAL, AND I CONSIDER MY PIECES TO BE PRETTY BOLD, SO IT’S QUITE FITTING.” As part of her process, Slawson jots down ideas in a notebook (top, left). She keeps some of her sketches on display alongside woven baskets (above and opposite, top). Weaving scraps (left), as well as textiles collected on her travels (opposite, bottom), fill her shelves.

Drawing frequent inspiration from the art and craft of tribal cultures, Slawson begins each piece with an idea for a dynamic geometric pattern. She experiments with different arrangements of shapes before working in sections to create smaller panels, which she then weaves together to create a larger whole. “I’m focusing on building and strengthening connections in my life, and that’s been translating into my artwork and creativity,” Slawson says. “It’s a long process of actually weaving all of those panels together to get where I’m going with the vision. It can take between 80 to 100 hours to weave a piece around 8 by 10 feet.” Although drawn to the hemp’s neutral palette, Slawson is planning to experiment with natural dyes to broaden her color options. “I’ve always been interested in warm, fiery colors, like rusted orange and subtle reds—the colors of the desert,” she says. And as she continues to hone her craft, Slawson is focused on keeping the right mindset behind it—the soulful one she developed while living freely in that Airstream. “The real work for me is to approach my process with the curiosity of a child and to remember that aimless play is a creative science,” she says. “Without play, there is no creativity.”
MOUNTAIN CHIC A DESIGNERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S FEARLESS APPROACH TRANSFORMS A 1970S DUPLEX INTO A STYLISH GETAWAY PERFECTLY SUITED TO THE LIFESTYLE OF A YOUNG FAMILY. WRITTEN BY MINDY PANTIEL PHOTOGRAPHY BY EMILY MINTON REDFIELD
INTERIOR DESIGN / ERIN IBA, IBA DESIGN ASSOCIATES HOME BUILDER / BRIAN GILLETTE, GILLETTE LLC CONSTRUCTION AND REMODELING
Designer Erin Iba revamped a dated mountain duplex with statementmaking pieces. In the living room, she arranged tufted sofas and leather-and-metal chairs, all by High Fashion Home, beneath a light fixture by Apparatus. Artwork by Chloe Hedden from Walker Fine Art hangs on the new steel-clad fireplace. Draperies were made with a Ralph Lauren Home fabric.
T
o some, selecting tufted green-velvet sofas and a massive marble coffee table for a Colorado mountain getaway—where three of the inhabitants are under the age of 5—might seem like a bold decision. But to designer Erin Iba, it just seems logical. “Cottonvelvet is durable, green doesn’t show dirt and the sofas are comfortable enough to sleep on,” she says. As for the table, “you can sit on it, eat pizza off it, play games on it and even dance on it,” she adds. “Why not go for something you think will be great, rather than playing it safe?” Clearly, the word “conventional” is not in Iba’s vocabulary, and the designer didn’t hesitate to push the envelope for her clients’ mountain retreat. Although Iba prides herself on introducing elements that are often unexpected, her designs always stay in sync with the homeowner’s style and taste. In this case, she was charged with melding the wife’s desire for texture, pattern and color with the husband’s propensity for a style that was more modern and raw. “It was my goal to make sure neither of them felt like they were giving something up,” says Iba, who had worked previously with the couple on their primary residence. There was one thing, however, the husband and wife did agree on: While both grew up skiing in the area, “neither of them wanted anything to do with the traditional Western style that once defined the region,” Iba says. Oddly enough, the 1970s duplex the couple purchased— with its antler chandelier still in tact—was exactly that. “My parents have a vacation home in the area, and we wanted our kids to have that up-the-street relationship with their grandparents,” the wife explains. “So when this place in

their neighborhood came on the market, we bought it. It also had a good two-level layout, so the kids could be downstairs and leave the upper level for us.” Although the home’s floor plan was a hit, the interiors needed an upgrade. “It had carpet in all of the bedrooms, a moss-rock fireplace in the living room and pickled ceilings that matched the pink tub in the master bathroom,” Iba says. To get things moving in the right direction, she first focused on giving the structure some strategic updates—and that meant addressing the floors, ceiling and fireplace. In conjunction with builder Brian Gillette, Iba introduced new distressed-oak floors throughout to provide consistency. The pink ceilings were painted white, with the beams stained darker for contrast. “Painting the ceiling was a simple thing that made a big difference,” Gillette says. As for the rock fireplace, “we tore it out and replaced it with a new masonry firebox and floor-to-ceiling steel-clad panels,” he says. The resulting focal point adds drama and places the room squarely in the current decade. Playing off the sleek new fireplace, Iba found a balance between the husband’s and wife’s design sensibilities in the living room. To counter the traditional-leaning sofa and marble table—nods to the wife—she added twin metaland-leather chairs to the mix and suspended an industriallooking brass-trimmed light fixture above. Just off the central living room, she called on her signature use of inventive wallpaper to transform an irregularly shaped

In the kitchen, Iba established a sense of history using midcentury French factory pendants with green enamel shades from Chicago-based Jayson Home. An MGS faucet from Ultra Design Center pairs with the spaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing cabinetry and countertops. Old-growth-white-oak flooring by Europa Woods flows here and throughout.

A throw pillow, also from Crate & Barrel, rests on the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; existing chair. Below, right: To mask the uneven heights of the kitchenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s window headers, Iba introduced Roman shades made with a C&C Milano green-and-white stripe from John Brooks Incorporated. A Lucien chandelier by Currey & Company caps off the space.

room into a stylish study with a mural depicting a 1970s image of Chicago’s Playboy Club. “We bought the usage rights to a Slim Aarons photograph, converted it to black and white and sent it to Flavor Paper in Brooklyn to turn it into wallpaper,” Iba says. The end result, she describes, is a look that “screams softly:” interesting without being too loud. That same tone continues in the compact master bedroom, where Iba ignored the conventional wisdom commonly associated with designing for small spaces, such as avoiding dark walls and selecting space-saving furniture. Here, she chose a black matte four-poster metal bed that commands the space and plays off a moody black-backed wallpaper by Ellie Cashman Design marked by a large-scale floral print. The look may be unexpected, but it responds to her client’s diverse décor aesthetics. “My husband and I have an interesting blend of styles, and this is one of our
favorite rooms in the house,” the wife says. “When Erin brings in a concept, it’s always just right.” And while screaming softly might be the preferred approach in most instances, Iba knows when to turn up the volume. In the kids’ domain on the lower level, for example, a graffiti mural dominates the playroom. “The owners discovered a high school artist and turned him loose in the room,” she says of the playful image depicting a snowboarder that spans a wall. On both levels, sliding barn doors are space-saving solutions. Downstairs, blue-painted wood doors underscore the space’s lively color scheme, while upstairs a steel frame set with opaque glass goes beyond functionality. “They are works of art that make those walls look interesting,” Iba says. “When people walk in here, I want them to say to my clients, ‘You have great taste and style.’ If it looks like me, I’ve failed.”

The Dorado Soapstone countertops and slate flooring by Daltile were both installed by Stone Concepts, and the Native Trails sink is from Ultra Design Center.

Opposite: Similar to other rooms in the house, the master bedroom ceiling was painted a bright white for a contemporary look. A CB2 canopy bed, accented with a bolster made with velvet by Kravet Couture, makes a dramatic statement, as does the large-scale floral wallpaper by Ellie Cashman Design.

You heard me.
I asked you to design a writing nook.
Wrapping the space in windows was your idea.
As for the deer that walk by,
We count these as blessings.
A custom home that lives for you.
