THE FIRST DISRUPTORS IN THE FURNITURE INDUSTRY TURN THIRTY. ICONIC LUXURY HOME FURNISHINGS BRAND MITCHELL GOLD + BOB WILLIAMS CELEBRATES 30 YEARS OF DESIGN AND INNOVATION
Thirty years ago, Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams set out to make the world a more comfortable place. With a shared belief that comfort has the power to change lives, they created a home furnishings brand unlike any other. Disruptors in the furniture industry long before it was fashionable, Mitchell and Bob broke barriers from the start. Not only were they introducing bold new designs, they were also offering lifetime warranties on products and delivering goods within 30 days. Throughout their 30 years in business together, Mitchell and Bob have never been afraid to push boundaries and take creative risks, especially in their ad campaigns. While some have been more risqué than others, many of the brand’s ads have helped shape opinions about equality, in addition to selling furniture.
Other ads featured the late great Lulu, Mitchell and Bob’s beloved bulldog mascot. Lulu was (and still is) the company’s muse, especially when it comes to designing family- and pet-friendly furnishings. Lulu’s memory is honored in other ways at the company’s factory and corporate headquarters in North Carolina. Employees can enjoy a healthy breakfast and lunch at Café Lulu, the on-site, chef-run cafeteria. And there’s Mitchell and Bob’s proudest accomplishment: Lulu’s Child Enrichment Center, a non-profit, 5-star daycare, which was the first of its kind in the furniture industry. Thirty years later, Mitchell and Bob are still shaking things up. While their signature modern style has evolved over the past three decades,, their iconic designs still reflect early aspirations to elevate entertaining and help others create a comfortable home.
With the Spring 2019 Collection, Mitchell and Bob introduce their anniversary line of Les Petite Seats. Chicly styled for cozy nooks or larger conversation areas, these versatile, small-scale accent chairs offer the brand’s trademark comfort in a compact footprint. Choose from in-stock options, or customize in 300-plus fabrics and leathers (including C.O.M). Experience Les Petite Seats and the new Spring Collection in comfort at one of 30-plus Signature Stores, or explore the entire collection at mgbwhome.com.

COASTAL LIVING My mood board represents my relaxed, yet cultivated design style. Each piece included was handpicked during my recent travels in Ecuador, and blends perfectly with Eldorado Stone’s Limestone in Austin Cream. I can see the stone in a future project—perhaps a beautiful accent wall, or backyard fire pit.
Claudia Afshar Claudia Afshar Design
GLOBALLY INSPIRED Eldorado Stone’s LedgeCut33 in Birch reminds me of my childhood spent amongst Spain’s cobble roads and historic architecture. It inspired a dream design project—a contemporary villa with warm and textural components, integrating timeless materials, earth tones and olive green accents.
Vance Burke Vance Burke Interior Design
MODERN BEAUTY Decorators are storytellers. The color, texture, size and shape of stone influences the story it’s going to tell. When creating this mood board with Eldorado Stone’s Zen24 in Nickel, I imagined a beautiful fireplace wall with natural elements and a modern design aesthetic.
EDITOR’S LETTER
IN THE MAKING
Dressed in Cabana Vintage, looking like I literally walked off the walls of designer Meg Braff’s old-school Florida bedroom at the Kips Bay Palm Beach Show House.
Much like a fashion show, design is about storytelling; creating a fantasy. Yet in reality, the process is equal parts imagination and hard work, all in preparation for show time. The final reveal and wow-factor moments don’t necessarily reflect the hours of decisionmaking; the emails, phone calls and installs; the headboard that doesn’t fit through the front door (and had to be craned-in through a second-story terrace); the crack in the poured concrete that needs to be reset. However, when it’s pencils down time, architects, designers and contractors pull it together and get it done. I love hearing behind-the-scenes stories about the design process; both the bloopers and the wins. Shortly before press time, I attended the Kips Bay Palm Beach Show House where many designer-friends had fabulous rooms. Each of them had a vision of what they would conjure for their space. They upholstered and wallpapered, carpeted and plastered; moved things in, out and around until opening day when the dream went on display. Every home undergoes a dress rehearsal of sorts. We certainly hope that you enjoy the show!

RADAR / ARCHITECTURALLY SPEAKING
LUXE SURVEYS NINE LEADING ARCHITECTS ON TIMELESS DESIGN AND CRAFTING AUTHENTIC HOMES.
WRITTEN BY HEATHER CARNEY AND BRITTANY CHEVALIER-MCINTYRE
RENÉE DEL GAUDIO
Boulder | rdg-architecture.com BACK TO BASICS: I look deeply into the climate, landscape and history of a place for design inspiration. I can arrive at an authentic design only after integrating these elements. You know a building connects to its location when you could not imagine it anywhere else. HISTORY LESSON: The ancient Greeks taught us the importance of harmonizing different components of a structure and creating right-size buildings in proportion and scale. We often forget those lessons in 21st-century architecture. LASTING IMPRESSION: I traveled a long way to see Swiss architect Peter Zumthor’s thermal baths at Vals, and it was one of the most memorable architectural moments of my life. It is all about the human sensory experience: visual, olfactory, auditory and tactile.
⊳ MARK JENSEN
San Francisco | jensen-architects.com UNSUNG HERO: Rebar is a material that you don’t actually see, but it miraculously allows lumbering concrete to become a light and graceful dancer. ACOUSTICS MATTER: It's important to consider the properties of sound—you can’t see it in photographs, but you feel it when you are in a space. Through the magic of synesthesia, you can almost see sound qualities while in an acoustically well-considered place. WISH LIST: I long for a return to less-smart homes. I sense many of my clients feel that connectivity has reached a saturation point and the well-designed space will be one that abstains from distractions in favor of mindful connection to place.

RADAR / ARCHITECTURALLY SPEAKING
⊳ RENE GONZALEZ
Miami | renegonzalezarchitects.com NATURE AND NURTURE: Every project begins with understanding the location and a site’s unique qualities. This also applies to cultural conditions, as was the case with a house we designed in Key Biscayne that depicts its Latin setting with the inclusion of patios, portales (porches) and persianas (louvered screens). FORWARD THINKING: Modernism will always be popular in architecture, but I wish nostalgia would fall out of style. Contemporary design, which still adheres to many of the tenets of modernism, is timeless. Some people find comfort in nostalgia and pastiches of historical styles, but the end result never feels authentic to me. LIVING IN HARMONY: Our design for the Prairie Avenue house in Miami Beach, a luxury residence elevated in response to the environmental threat of sea-level rise, acknowledges traditional precedents such as native American Chickee huts and the community of Stiltsville. It is adapted to contemporary living in sync with the changing environment.
KATHY HANCOX AND MICHAEL KOTHKE
Tucson | hkassociates.net
SPLURGE-WORTHY: The best quality windows are the first indication of thoughtfulness in a design, and they can by far make or break the final outcome of a project. PROUD MOMENT: For a home in Southampton, New York, the client was excited to approach the architecture, landscape and interior decoration of the home in a comprehensive way. It was a rare and enjoyable occurrence to have oversight on every aspect of the residence. EARLY INSPIRATION: I saw The Sound of Music at the age of 4 and was so impressed by the Von Trapp’s baroque classical villa. Since then, I have been inspired by grand ballrooms, which is a space sadly lost to history for most elevated clients. To have a grandly scaled and ornate room sparsely furnished so that a special event may take place truly makes the space extraordinary.
⊳ JILL RERUCHA
Seattle | reruchastudio.com CLASSIC VS. TRENDY: When a client is focused on a trend, they’re often missing the bigger picture of permanence and place. Natural light, however, will always be in fashion. We have an innate attachment to the sun here in Seattle. The projects that harness this best are the ones that feel eternal. INFLUENTIAL BUILDING: I traveled to France on a tour of Le Corbusier’s architecture and Villa Savoye really resonated with me. The curved ramps take you from one space to another culminating in a rooftop garden filled with sunlight and stillness. It taught me spaces don’t have to be perfect. UNTAPPED MATERIAL: Brick has a sense of permanence. I'm dreaming of the right client, budget and site to use it.

BRIAN SAWYER ⊲
New York | sawyerberson.com
SPOTLIGHT: In our projects, we deliberately study the effects of the sun on a space, yet there are moments when a sunbeam, calculated for arrival in a specific room, offers an even greater result. Those are the best happy accidents. CASE STUDY: We're designing a home in Tucson that embodies our passion for framing views, capturing light and revealing spatial character. The site has a stellar visual and physical connection to an iconic mountain range. With its well-positioned sight lines, the home showcases the essence of its setting. BIGGER ISN’T ALWAYS BETTER: We strive for cozy, comfortable spaces regardless of the square footage. High ceilings will always be popular but it’s better to focus on proportion rather than height.
RADAR / ARCHITECTURALLY SPEAKING RYAN BOLLOM AND DK OSSEO-ASARE
SOUTHERN CHARM: The South is full of inspiration. Perhaps the most celebrated house in all of Atlanta is known as Swan House. Built in 1928 by one of the country's preeminent architects, Philip Shutze, it’s an icon of classic design. Charleston is also one of the most magical places. Its casual sophistication, haunting presence of history among a bustling modern city, and its quintessential Southern feeling are unparalleled. My favorites are the Miles Brewton House and Drayton Hall. IN THE WORKS: We are in the midst of a large new estate in the Georgia Low Country, based on precedents from some of my favorite South Carolina houses. I’m taking inspiration from the past, but making it new and relevant in a way that doesn’t feel like a museum. BIDDING ADIEU: Openconcept floor plans are on their way out. People are returning to the notion of rooms being rooms. Intimacy and coziness are hallmarks of great living spaces.
OONAGH RYAN ⊲
Los Angeles | oonaghryan.com
WANDERLUST: I love Barcelona for its sheer variety of buildings—from Antoni Gaudi’s Sagrada Família, Casa Batlló and Casa Milà and Frank Gehry’s Golden Fish to Richard Meier’s Museum of Contemporary Art and EMBT’s Santa Caterina Market. But my favorite is the Barcelona Pavilion by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the International Exposition. Its sleek, elegant design combined with rich natural materials is a study in simplicity; it’s the essence of architectural modernism. HEART OF THE HOME: Invest in a high-quality kitchen countertop. Kitchens are the focal point for family life. A good countertop should be durable, tell a story and stand the test of time. The island we designed for our Manhattan Beach Bowen house (shown) is custom terrazzo inspired by a handful of pebbles our client found on the beach. We blended a mix of colored stones in a sandy matrix to achieve the natural look. HAVING A MOMENT: Seventies-style chic décor is back en vogue—think velvets, geometric patterns, warm palettes, funky textures and abstract silhouettes.
SUSTAINABLE STYLE: Our goal is to maximize design impact while keeping resource consumption and environmental impact to a minimum, so we prefer to work with natural and renewable materials like wood and bamboo, and metals like steel and copper, that can be recycled. SUCCESSFUL ARCHITECTURE: The best spaces offer unexpected moments, new forms of interaction, and ultimately challenge us to engage with life, the environment and each other in different ways. DREAM BUILDERS: We both started out as engineers but realized we wanted to pursue architecture after we finished our undergraduate degrees. We have a natural attraction to rigorous technical precision, while also feeling a need to solve open-ended problems that require creative solutions. Aiming to make the world more beautiful, we find that architecture ultimately becomes about building physical harmony.

MASTERS IN THE HANDS OF MODERN ARTISANS, AN ANCIENT TECHNIQUE STILL ROCKS. WRITTEN BY MARY JO BOWLING

create elaborate inlays. “A liquid mix of scagliola is inserted into engravings that have been made with hammer and chisel in a slab of marble or stone,” he says. “When dry, it is rubbed smooth with water and pumice and polished with wax, oil, lacquers and stone.” The process sounds relatively simple, yet learning how to make scagliola involves years of study and practice. Woods, for example, spent time traveling around Europe and learning from experts there. “It’s not like there is one way or one recipe,” she says. “And in Italy, the scagliola is like pasta—every region has a slightly different way of making it.” The material’s unique, moldable nature attracted artist Deborah Moss, co-founder of Moss & Lam in Canada. Moss, who learned about scagliola as an art history student, started

Looking at the majestic domed ceilings, ornate paneled walls and stately colonnades of 17th-century Italian basilicas, many people marvel at what seems to be colorful marble in the architecture. They might be surprised to know that what looks like natural stone is actually a hardened mixture of gypsum or plaster, pigments and sometimes glue. It’s a material called scagliola, a decorative surface that’s been fooling the eye for centuries. Though celebrated as an art today, scagliola started as a way to save time and money. “Artisans began using it to solve logistical problems,” explains Melissa Vogley Woods, an Ohio artist who creates scagliola sculptures. “Real marble was costly, heavy and hard to install. It was easier to use scagliola to create the same effect.” Scagliola specialist Mark Burston of Hayles & Howe, a British firm specializing in the material, says the use of the material as we know it today began in Munich in 1603 and spread across Europe, arriving in Britain in the early 1800s and then the United States in the 19th century. Although not quarried from the earth like marble, the creation of scagliola is not without effort. “You begin with some pigments, water and plaster, mix them into a dough-like consistency and press into molds to attain the shapes required,” Burston says. “After demolding, its then infilled and sanded several times to achieve a lustrous finish.” Alessandro Bianchi—whose family’s business, Bianco Bianchi in Florence, Italy, has been producing scagliola works since the 1960s—says the material can also be used to

using it in furniture design to create an element of surprise. “I love the classic feeling it gives our contemporary pieces,” she says. In her studio, artisans use silicone molds and traditional scagliola methods to achieve the geometric shapes and marble-like surfaces found in the Playtime Series, a set of colorful modern tables. British interior designer Francis Sultana also uses the material to add an enduring nature to his work. “My clients require pieces of furniture that stand the test of time,” he says. “They want looks that will work in 10, 20 and 50 years and, for me, scagliola has proved that it remains en vogue from one century to the next.” The designer also uses scagliola for one of the reasons early craftspeople did—noting that its lightweight nature is a technical plus. Though its use waned for a time in the 19th century, Moss predicts the look of scagliola has legs in the 21st century and beyond as a new generation rediscovers the ancient practice. And though many are experimenting with boldly hued pigments, Moss believes the way scagliola is created will likely remain the same. “It’s not a process that can really be automated—it requires a lot of hand mixing and hand sanding to achieve the best results,” she says. “It gives me goosebumps to think of how the process remains unchanged; to be part of that unbroken lineage is humbling.”
“Scagliola is having a new impulse in design,” says Alessandro Bianchi of Bianco Bianchi. “Its gradations of colors and it plasticity are very suitable for contemporary drawings and shapes, and it works well with metal.” An interior vignette of scagliola work in Italy (top right) and a set of trays of scagliola and brass (top left) made in collaboration with Studio Blanco, both by Bianco Bianchi, show the continued relevance of this durable material. The Charles console and Venise side table by Francis Sultana also exhibit a playful, yet chic approach to designing furnishings made of scagliola.

nspired by the cast-iron birds that sit atop Grand Central Station, Harry Winston’s recent New York Collection, which includes diamond-andplatinum Eagle earrings, pays homage to the city’s built environment, where Winston lived, worked and fell in love. Similar to Winston’s creative team, other jewelry designers are following suit and finding inspiration in notable international architectural structures. The artistic forces behind the ancient Egyptian faience emerald-and-sapphire Hemmerle necklace looked to the exterior forms and interior drawings of Egyptian temples. And Jean Prounis and Temple St. Clair both turned to Buddhist stupas, or meditation structures, as architectural muses. “I was inspired by my visit to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi’an China,” says Prounis of her Pagoda earrings with South Sea Pearl bases and multi-story domes of granulated 22-karat gold. The Taj Mahal, perhaps the greatest example of India’s chhatris architecture, played a large role in the vision for both Sanjay Kasliwal’s Jaali cuff and Surendra Saboo’s sapphire, opal and diamond Aura ring. “I wanted this piece to look like the night sky above the Taj Mahal with a blue moon center punctuated by brilliant stars in the distance,” says Saboo. The ornate nature of these exquisite creations proves that incorporating traditional design elements, especially ones from significant and timeworn structures, will most certainly never go out of style.

“SERIOUS PLAY: DESIGN IN MIDCENTURY AMERICA” Don’t let the name fool you: The Denver Art Museum’s exhibition “Serious Play: Design in Midcentury America,” on view May 5-August 25, isn’t just about toys. Rather, it explores how play as a form of experimentation led to some of the midcentury modern furnishings and objects we know and love today. Co-organized by the Milwaukee Art Museum and the Denver Art Museum around three themes—the American home, child’s play and corporate approaches to design—the show encompasses 200 works in media ranging from works on paper and textiles to furniture and films. Look for iconic designs like the Eames Storage Unit for Herman Miller Furniture Company along with less familiar works, such as Ruth Adler Schnee’s wacky Humpty Dumpty furnishing fabric for Adler-Schnee Associates. And yes, toy fans, there’s something for you, too, from Arthur A. Carrara’s Magnet Master 400 game to Isamu Noguchi’s study model for a colorful and quirky play sculpture. denverartmuseum.org
TALKING SHOP SLO CURIO
How did you make the shift from working artists to shop owners? We found a live-work space to use as a studio, but after learning that we could open up the space for retail we decided to build a place to sell our own goods and those of other artists whose work resonates with a modern, ecoconscious way of living. What do you make that’s available at Slo Curio? I specialize in slow-made clothing and textile art with an emphasis on organic materials and naturally dyed colors. Ry works predominantly with found or repurposed materials to make functional installation art. His current pieces, called Highlights, are biomorphic art/light fi xtures made of natural materials. What else will we find in the shop this spring? You’ll find locally made and vintage ceramic arts and crafts, whimsical curios, rare international textiles, eco-conscious homewares, and new and used art. Our latest feature is abstract prints by Denver monotype artist Mami Yamamoto, and we are also blessed to feature the beautiful, minimalist porcelain pieces by Boulder ceramicist Liz Quan. 108 / LUXESOURCE.COM
OPEN HOUSE CIRCA LIGHTING
This June, Circa Lighting will bring its designerbeloved assortment of timeless lighting fi xtures to a new showroom in the Denver Design District (601 S. Broadway, Suite B), making the Mile High City the 13 th outpost of the Savannah-based brand. The 6,400-square-foot boutique-like space, designed by Denver firm McPherson Architecture and Houston-based Colby Design, will echo the brand’s clean, classic style while incorporating state-of-the-art features including interactive digital displays and a new Tech Lighting Lab. Look for a well-edited selection of decorative table, ceiling, wall, floor and exterior lighting by Visual Comfort & Co.—the brand’s roster of superstar designer partners includes Kelly Wearstler, Alexa Hampton and Thomas O’Brien—as well as fi xtures by Tech Lighting and Monte Carlo Fans. Unlike many Denver Design District showrooms, Circa Lighting will sell directly to the public, which means shopping for designer lighting in Denver just got a whole lot easier. circalighting.com WRITTEN BY CHRISTINE DEORIO

ONE SNOWMASS WITH INSPIRATO
MEET the MAKERS Q CO
Mere months after its late-2018 launch, the Wheat Ridge-based design house q co is making waves with its collection of sculptural and sustainable custom furnishings, like their Wing Chair (below). Founders Jason McCloskey and Trystin Sova share what drives their sophisticated designs. q-co.design Describe your style. Many of our designs rethink the relationship between object and function, applying a more sculptural approach to furniture design. But q|co designs are marked by the intentional pairing of movement and stillness, whimsy and poise, indulgence and restraint, playfulness and sophistication. There’s a certain gracefulness to the pieces, a tension that (hopefully) invites awe and curiosity. The pieces also nod to nature, midcentury modern design and ski technology.
Tell us about your tools. A lot of our work starts digital and ends analog. We both started in traditional woodworking and then made our way to 3D modeling software, CNCs and other computercontrolled technologies. But this transition hasn’t negated the need for old-school, time-honored tools: Our chisels and hand planes still see plenty of use. What’s next? This spring and summer, we’re hoping to roll out a few larger pieces: a bed, a couch and a customizable credenza. We’re also working on a fully upholstered version of the You Lounge, a few lighting designs and a small selection of home goods.

What inspires your work? For Jason, the canyons—always—and the
mountains. Feelings are a big source of inspiration, specifically the feeling of being in Western landscapes. For Trystin, objects and lines. Most of her designs spring from found objects, natural or manmade, and are abstractions thereof.
The latest residential offering to debut at Snowmass Base Village, One Snowmass with Inspirato may be the mountain resort’s most eye-catching new development yet. Situated at the gateway to the bustling base village, the ski-in/ski-out structure, designed by Denver-based 4240 Architecture, features sloping rooflines that take cues from iconic midcentury modern designs and the mountain slopes that are just a short chairlift ride away. This autumn, 11 families will move into two-, three- and fourbedroom luxury homes; by the start of ski season, 30 more whole- and fractional-ownership homes will be complete. Model residences furnished by acclaimed design firms Barclay Butera Interiors and SFA Design provide a preview of the stylish dwellings, which have private balconies, oversize living rooms with hot-rolled-steel fireplace walls, gourmet kitchens with Gaggenau appliances and a palette of sleek finishes—from matte-black light fixtures to concrete hearths—curated by Denver design firm Styleworks. Residents choose the scenery they’ll enjoy through their floor-to-ceiling windows—long down-valley views, or up-close looks at the base village and Snowmass Mountain—but standard perks range from an on-site concierge to a private ski room, owners’ lounge and fitness center. Bonus: A partnership with vacation-rental company Inspirato gives residents members-only access to other luxury homes around the world. allinsnowmass.com

ITINERARY CATHERINE FRANK
STAY
New Sheridan Hotel: This hotel (bottom, right)—located on Telluride’s beautiful main street, with easy access to shopping, skiing, hiking and festivals—is a popular hangout. It features classic historical architecture from the Victorian era, complete with beautiful red brick walls, and the interiors are inviting, with lovely traditional painted wood, leather seating, gorgeous lighting and quaint, comfortable guest rooms. There’s also a rooftop bar with the most amazing views of the mountains and nearby historic buildings. newsheridan.com
EAT
221 South Oak: There are so many wonderful places to dine in town, but Chef Eliza is the best in Telluride, always putting forth a unique and creative menu that changes with the seasons. I love the Rocky Mountain trout served with two kinds of homemade ravioli. In the winter, the restaurant— situated in a historical home at the base of the mountain—feels like a cozy house in a snow 112 / luxesource.com

The roots of architectural and interior designer Catherine Frank’s rough-meets-luxe aesthetic run deep. “Early on, I was exposed to simple forms and natural materials—reclaimed wood, metals, vintage textiles, raw stones,” she says of her childhood, much of which was spent in her family’s old farmhouse, barns and silos. Her designs, which range from private homes to custom furnishings, span the style spectrum and draw upon Frank’s training in fine art and construction management in addition to interior design. Though her firm, Studio Frank, has several large projects on the boards for 2019—including a lakeside compound in Houston and a sprawling family ski retreat—it’s smaller, gem-like structures that have captured Frank’s imagination of late. “I’m going back to ‘less is more,’ making sure the spaces I create are less about structure and more about relaxation,” she says. That kind of laid-back luxury feels right at home in Telluride, the quietly glamorous mountain town Frank has called home since 1993. Here, she shares the local spots that inspire her most. studiofrank.com globe. And in summer, there’s no better setting than at a table in the garden. 221southoak.com
SHOP
Two Skirts: As an interior designer, I also love fashion, and I have a fetish for great style. I shop at Two Skirts (top, right) for casual but cool cashmere sweaters and the best jeans. They also have beautiful dresses, great hats, fun tops—every style you might need in Telluride in winter or summer. shoptwoskirts.com
PLAY
Summer music festivals: I love music, and Telluride is known for its many summer music festivals, which range from the popular Telluride Bluegrass Festival (June 20-23) to the Telluride Chamber Music Festival (August 5-11) and Telluride Jazz Festival (August 9-11). When the warm weather comes, I enjoy dancing to great music in the town park; located along the San Miguel River and surrounded by Telluride’s steep box-canyon walls, it’s one of the most
scenic live-music venues you’ll find. telluride.com/festivalsand-events Dunton Hot Springs: After dancing my way through a three-day music festival, I like to relax at nearby Dunton Hot Springs (center), a beautifully restored 19th-century ghost town that’s now a top-notch resort dotted with romantic old handhewn log buildings. The resort is home to natural hot springs; soaking in the restored bathhouse or outside in the pools, then having a healthy lunch, is the perfect reset. duntonhotsprings.com

Woven from the world’s finest Egyptian Giza 45 long staple cotton, this refined assortment of linens is unparalleled in quality, style, and comfort.

years IT ALL STARTED WITH THE PERFECT VELVET CHAIR John Bray, Vanguard’s eighth employee and current CEO, says it best: “Vanguard is referred to as a family company—not because it is family-owned—but because our most basic core value has always been to treat one another with the dignity and appreciation of a family member.” Since its inception in 1969— in a modest facility with a mere two employees and single velvet chair—Vanguard has credited its success to its uncompromising values and culture. With a mission to be the industry’s most customer-centric company and a vision to enrich people’s lives through custom-made furniture, Vanguard has established itself as a leading manufacturer in the industry. Celebrated for its American craftsmanship, customization, exquisite finishes and unparalleled quality, the brand has grown to over 600 associates and is currently operating out of six manufacturing buildings in Hickory, North Carolina; a 40,000-square-foot showroom in High Point, North Carolina; and a new manufacturing location in Hillsville, Virginia. In its 50th anniversary year, and for the next five-plus decades, Vanguard will continue to trailblaze the custom furniture space. Andy Bray, Vanguard’s president, looks to the future: “There are certain attributes of the human condition that simply cannot change, and there is a high degree of likelihood that future generations will still be sleeping in beds, sharing meals around dining tables, and sitting on a comfortable chair or sofa for a moment of quiet repose. Whatever the future brings, Vanguard will adapt to be there for our customers.”

TURKISH DELIGHT Brooklyn-based designer Feyza Kemahlioglu drew from her Turkish heritage to conceptualize her Pillars of Meerschaum collection, including this fixture dubbed Amber Treasure. Crafted from meerschaum—a soft white clay material found in Eskisehir, a small city in Turkey—the intricately detailed piece is perforated, allowing tiny beams of light to emanate through it.

ALIEN TERRITORY Inspired by Plasterglass, a unique fiberglass resin born out of the Ralph Pucci mannequin factory, sculptor John Koga created these lighting fixtures by first molding them with clay. Koga, who typically works with marble and plaster, was fascinated with how Plasterglass imitates those materials resulting in his distinct Aluala (Sunset Glow) Table Lamp and Hoku (Star) Floor Lamp. ralphpucci.net

TACTILE FINISHES
“Mixing finishes is a timeless trend! Brass and bronze have been industry favorites for quite some time, but I can’t get enough of the latest additions, including texture-rich plaster, matte black, cement and antiqued silver.” WHAT TO SEE “Cirque du Soleil and live music performances always top the list, but you’re even more likely to find me donning a robe in The Spa at Encore.”
NOIR, Mala Chair

BRITANY SIMON BSDH Scottsdale, AZ
70’S STYLE
“From the runway to interiors, designers are bringing the ’70s back. I am seeing warm hues, vibrant colors, and the mix of bold patterns with geometrics, animal prints, checkers, and plaids being used in textiles. I also anticipate more creativity with shape and form across all market categories—something I’ve been craving for a while!”
Weiman, Isabella High Left Swivel Chair
WHAT TO SEE “I love to get together with my designer friends from other states while I am in town for Market. On my next trip, I am also dying to catch a Lady Gaga show!”

BRONZE IS THE NEW BRASS
“It was inevitable, but the glamour of polished brass is slowly being surpassed by a raw and less refined, honed-bronze finish. It’s a stronger, more confident look. We think it looks amazing on everything, from the plane of a coffee table, to a crisp-edge millwork detail and decorative home accessory.” WHAT TO SEE “I’m looking forward to exploring the food, drink and design scene that’s exploded in the last decade. And maybe book an Elvis brunch—the proper thing to do, right?”

DENISE MORRISON Denise Morrison Interiors & House of Morrison Newport Beach, CA
NATURE-INSPIRED ACCESSORIES
“I’m seeing a movement toward statement pieces that singularly carry a space. As we are craving softer living and clean, chic interiors, peaceful art that does not overwhelm a room is trending. These pieces possess organic appeal and naturally spark intrigue—making them both meaningful, focal point accessories in the home.”
Blue Ocean Traders, Polished Agate

SECOND ACT
“I never ever thought I would move,” Barbara Sallick explains, but within 30 seconds of walking in the front door of her new home in Southport, Connecticut, she fell in love. Soon, Sallick and her husband, who co-founded the luxury kitchen and bath company Waterworks 40 years ago, were bidding adieu to the address they had lived at for half a century and contemplating a kitchen remodel opportunity that looked much different from the one they had undertaken as a young family. “When it came down to it, it just seemed like the right thing to do,” Barbara notes of her new kitchen, “and what’s more, over time, I’ve learned a thing or two.” waterworks.com What was important to you when designing this kitchen? The overriding conversation I had with myself was about how I would feel in the space and how I would create a kitchen I loved. To achieve this, I knew it had to be warm, friendly, easy and accessible. I feel privileged to live this more casual lifestyle, which is really the way many of us operate in the kitchen today. Your treatment of the wall tile is so striking. I love tile and it’s my thing, so I wasn’t going to just put up a backsplash! I tiled the entire kitchen because I like the idea of grids and how they add a textural component but can also make a room feel larger when a wider format style is used. Because this entire area isn’t too big, I wanted to make sure the dining and operational spaces were tied together in some way and the tile achieved this. 192 / luxesource.com
How did you choose the hardware? This was a very difficult, deliberate decision and you can see that all of the pulls and lights are unlacquered brass. Yet, I chose matte nickel for the faucet because it aligns visually with the stainless steel sink and stove. This gave me a chance to mix metals in places that felt logical. Clockwise from top: Belden cabinetry by Waterworks is hand-painted in Whisper, a pale gray that creates an airy aesthetic at the top while the lower cabinetry is done in Midnight to anchor the space. Waterworks’ Cushing and Portsmouth Pulls in unlacquered brass pop against the navy cabinetry and drawer dividers help organize essentials.

BESPOKE
Known for its customization, Monogram worked with designer Richard Anuszkiewicz to create an opulent bar space where the appliances are clad in EcoDomo’s rich chocolate brown embossed croc patent leather. The Circuit Chef kitchen sink from Elkay features multiple sizes, several accessories and two tiers that allow for everything from washing and drying to cutting and straining to be personalized to how you like to work in the kitchen.
Launched earlier this year by the brains behind La Cornue, new luxury bath company Bassines drew inspiration from traditional French copper cookware and the art of metalwork design when creating these sleek stainless steel washbasins (above). Handcrafted in British Columbia by sculptor Christopher Shannon, the Vettis Concrete faucet by Brizo (right) has a wonderful, tactile feel and is a true work of art with a limited production run of 500.

Some may think the openkitchen concept is about to expire, but I believe the informal layout of this plan reflects the way we live and entertain today, so it’s not going away anytime soon. Try as you might, you’ll never get your guests out of the kitchen so it’s best to make the space more inclusive and open. Panel-ready integrated appliances are a clever way to improve optics and also create a quiet backdrop to let the kitchen design take center stage.
Color is in! While timelessness can be a valuable component of kitchen design, bright shades can certainly be brought into this space without painting the cabinetry the color of the year. I like to use bold hues in pantries or sculleries which can include wallpapering or painting inside glass cabinets as well as on the ceiling. Don’t forget about adding a pop of color with a beautiful range, too! It all just makes life in the kitchen more fun.
FRANK PONTERIO
YOUNG HUH
If you know me, you know I love to cook and entertain. So one of my favorite trends in the kitchen is that people are now cooking together; it’s all about being social! It used to be that guests would come over for a dinner party and stand around while you entertain but now everyone is involved. With more people jockeying for the same space, I think a corner sink is smart, efficient and a total no-brainer for incorporating into a more social kitchen.
While white and gray kitchens are still quite popular, we’re going to see a movement toward color and texture in cabinetry, surfaces and tile, all while continuing the ideas of seamless integration and architectural minimalism. Induction cooktops are also becoming more popular because they not only cut cooking times and emissions, but they look perfect in integrated spaces. The seamless effect of an induction cooktop flush with the countertop really lets the clean lines of the kitchen sing.

“It’s a cornucopia of visual delights,” says designer Amanda Nisbet of the deep peacock-blue living room she created for her New York clients. “Like installation art, the lacquer changes during the day, making things even more interesting.”
MAX IMPACT Color trends come and go, but the most recent approach to enlivening our homes has taken on a defiant spirit that has us reconsidering familiar, everyday norms. These highly considered spaces are shaped as much by personality as they are by beauty and function. Challenging preconceived notions of color and employing a new approach is what makes this kaleidoscopic trend so stimulating. Suddenly, a world with endless possibilities has opened. Now, go explore.
THE LOOK / THE REPORT
Amanda Nisbet doesn’t shy away from bold ideas, so when New York art collector-clients said, “More is more is more,” she ran with it. “We couldn’t be wishy-washy in holding eclectic pieces together,” says the designer. Nisbet upholstered the entryway with shimmering leather embellished with drips of gold by Christianson Lee Studios. “Everything had to stand its ground, so we did a lavender ottoman and a purple Kyle Bunting carpet. And I couldn’t have a white ceiling!” she says. “The room is majestic, sumptuous and lures you in.” amandanisbetdesign.com

“Specific colors and patterns weren’t important, but creating the emotional response was,” says Dane Pressner, director of design for D’Aquino Monaco, of a cottage he designed in Snedens Landing, New York. The turquoise Elitis bamboo wallcovering was the starting point, with a Josef Frank floral chair fabric inspiring the rest of the palette, which Pressner used to color block the space. “We love when wild elements get paired together; instead of becoming crazier, they find harmony with one another,” he says. daquinomonaco.com

“Our observation over the last few years is that there has been a move away from hard silver finishes and clear glass toward more natural finishes such as antique brass,” says Emma Finch, director of London-based lighting firm Hector Finch. “The emerald glass gives the Sophie chandelier a warmth and glamour that can be used in contemporary or traditional interiors,” she adds. Inspired by an original 1920s design, the chandelier is a nod to the English company’s early history as antiques dealers. hectorfinch.com

When designer Christine Markatos Lowe was asked to transform a masculine library into a feminine space for a fashion-forward client in Santa Monica, California, she went right to a sunny de Gournay wallpaper she had spotted on a trip to New York. “The gilt paper really sets a formal tone,” she says. “This is a room meant purely for entertaining, often where dessert is served or for intimate parties hosted by the wife.” Decorative accents highlight the chinoiserie scene’s jewel tones, while neutral furnishings keep it fresh and ethereal. “As a room for special occasions, the space called for special-occasion wallpaper!” remarks the designer. markatosdesign.com

Pattern Play “My client likes cheery colors,” says designer Kirill Istomin of a home in Moscow. “She’d say, ‘As the weather isn’t great here, it’s a way of bringing sunshine into your life.’ ” For the family room, Istomin chose a Clarence House sofa fabric, repeating its circular pattern in the rug and the vintage wicker mirrors that “absorb and balance the colors.” Echoing the rectilinear forms of the mirrored bookcase is a colorful custom media cabinet that Istomin playfully calls “an homage to Mondrian.” kirillistomin.com

“It serves as a practical yet treasured space,” says Jon Kastl of Champalimaud, who oversaw the design of this Manhattan study with colleague Elisabeth Rogoff. “The sense of intimacy was delivered in the color,” Kastl notes. Adds Rogoff: “We loved the idea of a reflective finish. It elevated the space.” A neutral sofa and rug let the Milton Avery painting and red accents shine. champalimauddesign.com

“Cozy and quiet” was the ultimate direction for the library-bar Oliver M. Furth designed for a couple’s new Los Angeles pied-à-terre. “They aren’t afraid of color, so this was an opportunity to push things,” says Furth, who painted the Phillip Jeffries grass cloth a rich teal while extending it to the ceiling. “It unexpectedly becomes a neutral,” he adds. An oak cabinet with chartreuse Edelman leather panels hides a refrigerator and a “healthy dose of black” grounds the entertaining space. A statement painting by Delphine Courtillot adds the final touch that effortlessly ties all vibrant hues together. Color us impressed. olivermfurth.com

ARCHITECTS
Ask the Expert What is the first project that put your company on the map? A client asked me to design a penthouse in downtown Aspen, and the fresh, contemporary mountain architecture garnered a great public response for the developer. It resulted in a continued partnership that helped us build our reputation for sophisticated, modern design.
Kim Raymond Principal and Owner 970.925.2252 @kimraymondarchitects kimraymondarchitects.com
KIM RAYMOND ARCHITECTURE + INTERIORS
What influences and inspirations inform your work? I had the privilege of working for some very talented architects when I was getting started. Also, I traveled extensively through Bhutan, Nepal, India, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Europe and Africa. The diversity of these cultures has had a big influence on my work.
Since its inception in 1992, Kim Raymond Architecture + Interiors has showcased talent and an innovative spirit time and again. While interior design has long been a part of what KRAI incorporated into its projects, the services offered have expanded to include interior furnishings, art and decoration. “This allows all aspects of the home to be fully incorporated into the design,” says Kim Raymond, the company’s namesake and owner. Across this spectrum of successful endeavors, KRAI is known for modern, sophisticated designs that fit into their settings. “Our buildings have clean, bold lines and a simple material palette,” Raymond says. “While the architecture is crisp, we bring a softness to the interiors through organic materials and furnishings.” But for Raymond, these aesthetic goals must work in tandem with another consideration: the client. “I like to learn about their lifestyle—if they are early risers or stay up late, what sports and activities they enjoy, etc.—and create a residence that enhances how they live,” she says. “When the owners are willing to share their daily routines, the home becomes truly unique to them.” Beyond designing modern masterpieces, KRAI works with two orphanages in Rwanda and Team Africa Rising, a continental cycling team aiming for the Tour de France.

What type of project would you love to take on? We hope to find an opportunity to design a boutique hotel in a mountain or seaside resort. The combination of public spaces, and intimate, inviting private ones intrigues us.

NEW ENERGY + DESIGN IN NAPA VALLEY THE GATHERING PLACE FOR WINE COUNTRY’S CREATIVE AND CULINARY COMMUNITIES.

WINE STORAGE, PERFECTED SIGNATURE KITCHEN SUITE UNVEILS THE IDEAL TEMPERATURE- AND HUMIDITY-CONTROLLED SPACE. Whether you’re a sommelier or the only thing you know about wine is that you love to drink it, you’ll want a dedicated space for your wine collection. Signature Kitchen Suite’s new collection of integrated column wine refrigerators pays deference to their subject’s earth-cooled subterranean origins with Wine Cave Technology™, designed for precise wine preservation. Carefully tailored to mimic the ideal environment of historic wine caves, the exclusive design reduces vibration, minimizes temperature fluctuations, limits light passing through and locks in humidity. Key features include Wi-Fi monitoring, providing owners peace of mind that their wine collection is in its set storage settings; touch display lighting (LED lights activated by tapping the door or with a mobile app); independent temperature zones, which can be set between 41° F and 64° F; dark-tinted, triple-pane glass for protection against damaging UV light; and the integration of another Signature Kitchen Suite innovation: the True Sommelier™ app. Powered by Wine Ringʼs patented machine learning, this is the first software that learns preferences and makes wine recommendations.
FOR THE OENOPHILE, NO VIBRATIONS ARE GOOD VIBRATIONS. Vibration is a primary impediment to wine storage and preservation, causing chemical imbalances that affect the quality, flavors, aromas and texture. In addition to causing wine to lose its flavor, new undesirable qualities are added to a wine when it’s shaken. Signature Kitchen Suite has designed their wine column refrigerators with a major emphasis on reducing vibration. An inverter linear compressor and metal interior help minimize the vibration to less than 2 gal (cm/s²) and precise temperature controls to maintain the lowest fluctuations among leading brands.
The NEW MINIMALIST INFORMED CONSUMERS AND A NEW CONSCIOUSNESS ARE CULTIVATING A LESS-IS-MORE, STREAMLINED KITCHEN. The kitchen of the future is a microcosm of the new age of minimalism. Essentially, people just want less stuff, giving rise to multidisciplinary products in multifunctional spaces. Kitchen shelves, cabinets and work stations packed with elaborate, redundant and bulky appliances are being replaced with drawers of fresh vegetables, bowls of organic fruit and natural ingredients for easy-to-prepare meals, while built-in cooking equipment is increasingly more flexible to prepare food in the best possible way, with numerous functions that eliminate unnecessary appliances. The pioneers at Signature Kitchen Suite are at the forefront of this paradigm shift. Their 48-inch dual-fuel pro range, for example, is the answer to greater flexibility and precision in cooking, with built-in sous vide, induction and gas all on the cooktop—a first of its kind.

SOUS VIDING YOUR WAY TO STEAK MASTERY THE SECRET TO PERFECTLY COOKED STEAK IS FINALLY WITHIN THE REACH OF HOME COOKS. For curious cooks who ever have wondered how high-end restaurants get every steak right, every time, it is most likely because they cook sous vide. Thanks to Signature Kitchen Suite—whose dual-fuel pro range features the industry’s first built-in sous vide and whose partnerships with the Culinary Research and Education Academy (CREA) and Cuisine Solutions are promoting the everyday use of this culinary method—home chefs can elevate their perfectly cooked proteins to another level. To simplify this versatile technique, we asked sous vide expert AJ Schaller, Executive Chef at CREA, to break down what it takes to cook a great steak at home.
1
Where to start. As with any other sous vide food, be sure to start with quality ingredients. Searing the steak in advance helps the flavor reach the core of the meat and requires less time to sear when you are done cooking sous vide.
2
What to use. Spices and marinades are great, and you only need a fraction of the amount used in traditional cooking. Keep in mind that ingredients such as tomato, ginger or any acids in your pouch will continue to soften the texture of proteins, raw or cooked.
3
How long. Time has an important effect on texture and flavor when cooking sous vide. Lean meats such as steaks are done cooking once the desired core temperature is reached, which can take around 30 minutes.
4
While entertaining. If you know how your guests prefer their steak, consider cooking them in advance, then chill and reheat when you are ready. This helps retain flavor and juiciness.
5
Why the chefs love it. Sous vide takes the guesswork out of cooking items to the proper temperature for best quality and flavor.

The Art of CHEESEMAKING THE ALCHEMIC, ARTISANAL JOURNEY IS THE DESTINATION. The countless cheeses—each made with only milk, rennet, bacterial cultures and salt—reflect the diversity of the contexts in which they are produced. Cheese offers a rich, “living” connection to the world. An English cheesemaker might make a firm-bodied, mild-flavored cheddar; whereas a cheesemaker from Italy would probably make a hard, dry parmesan, requiring two years to develop its sharp flavor. A cheesemaker from Southern France may make Roquefort, a cheese with a piquant flavor and white curd speckled with bluegreen mold. Steeped in tradition and regional nuance and grounded in ecological principles and biological science—yet natural and intuitive—cheesemaking is equally technical and artistic. From culture propagation to rennet coagulation to affinage, hone your palate and expand your knowledge with these takeaway tenets.
CHEESE DOESN’T LIKE TO BE TOO COLD. The perfect temperature varies depending on whom you ask, but usually ranges between 40º F and 53º F. Most home refrigerators are colder than this. As a solution, Signature Kitchen Suite has introduced the 36-inch built-in French door refrigerator with a five-mode convertible middle drawer that has distinct temperature zones for preserving deli-worthy fare at the correct temperature. The ingenious drawer’s temperature zones also include chilled wine, meats and seafood, beverage and freezer.
THE FUNDAMENTALS: Culture. Warm your milk to the right temperature, add
1
the right mix of microbes (bacteria, yeasts and molds) and let them do their thing. bonus: Sous vide the cheese for precise control of the temperature.
2 3
Coagulate. Add rennet and wait until the milk turns into a gel-like network. Use a medicine dropper. Cut. Using a long knife, slice the firm network into morsels of the right size and shape. note: The smaller the initial pieces, the drier (and more ageable) the cheese will be. And vice versa.
4 5
Stir. Mix the curds to expel moisture and increase firmness. A slotted spoon does the trick. Heat. If you’re making a hard, aged cheese, cook the curds to make them even sturdier. A kitchen thermometer is recommended.
6
Drain. Remove the liquid whey (the watery part of milk) from the solid curd by straining. You’ll need a colander and cheesecloth.
7
Form and press. Add your curds to the right type of form and, if necessary, apply weight to expel more whey. Buy cheese forms from a supplier or repurpose plastic containers. You’ll also want to get a draining mat.
8
Salt. If you haven’t already mixed it into the curd before molding, rub salt on the outside of the wheel or place your cheese into a brine solution.
9
Age. Manipulate the development of your final product with the right blend of temperature, moisture and time.

ON-SITE WITH THE COLORADO HOMEOWNER How they approach a renovation: Freking says most clients like to keep some elements of the original design. The trend toward transitional concepts makes combining contemporary elements with existing ones cohesive. A room they never overlook: It’s all about the kitchen. “This is where the heart of the home lies and families spend most of their time,” Freking says.

303.783.9654 | janefrekinginteriordesign.com | @janefreking Be they animal lovers or color obsessed, every client on Jane Freking’s list sees their ultimate dreams for home and haven brought to life. The principal designer at JF Design, Freking believes passionately in the personalization of the living spaces she creates. “It’s essential to get to know the homeowner at the beginning,” she says. “Every client has a distinct style and taste, and the design elements should reflect that.” While they share a sense of refinement, each project clearly has its own flavor, telling the story of those who reside within. Freking achieves this through close collaboration with the client, although she does recommend steering clear of the work itself. “Depending on the size of the renovation, it is always a great idea to move out during the process, because keeping on a timeline is the key to a successful renovation.”

A blank canvas and big plans—this is what Kim Layne often finds herself walking into. The designer and owner at Kim Layne Interiors says her clients aren’t usually interested in small updates. Rather, they are intent on pursuing the home of their dreams. “We mostly do full remodels and refurnish the entire house,” Layne says. “Everything is new!” Alongside her team, Layne rethinks whole floor plans, interior architecture and design schemes. And the homeowner’s tastes play an essential role. “We love when our clients have very distinct styles,” she says. “It is our job to take the time to uncover exactly what this means to each person and find a way to articulate that in the design. Our goal is to achieve our client’s style and desires, but in a way that is much better than they thought possible.”

2. Don’t be afraid to pursue unique spaces. “We are seeing an increasing number of requests for specialty features like golf simulators.” 3. Move out during reno. “Unless you have an entire wing to create temporary living space, you should leave during a whole-home remodel.”
THE ART OF THE FLOOR PLAN Rethinking the functional purpose of each space, and how these connect to form the residence as a whole, can breathe new life into a home. “It isn’t always just about taking down walls,” Layne says. “Sometimes, you need to add separation with structure, but in a new way that changes the flow. An open concept is often preferred, but it can definitely be taken too far in some cases. Connection is great, but so is privacy. There must be balance.”

he rising and setting sun casts an alpenglow of deep pastel shades over the high-desert landscape in Durango—an evocative draw for a Bay Area couple who built their vacation home near the Southern Ute Indian Reservation in Colorado’s southwest corner. The owners wanted to capture those saturated hues of pink, orange, turquoise, blue and lavender inside a home that also expressed the region’s Wild West mindset and Native American spirit. “It was very un-Aspen and un-Vail,” says the wife’s longtime designer, Julie Massucco Kleiner. “The wife was born and raised in the Midwest and wanted to find a less glamorous vacation home that would speak to her sensibilities.” “It’s still very much undiscovered. It’s probably one of the last authentic cowboy towns,” the wife says of Durango, noting that she can watch herds of elk roam through her front yard morning and night. “It feels like a park,” the couple’s architect Adam Gardner says of the 40-acre property in the Animas River Valley, which sits on broad

meadowland ringed in mature trees with mountains to the east and west. “The obvious inspiration was taking advantage of those views and the indoor-outdoor setting,” he says, so he drafted a lodge-like dwelling of timber, stone and glass with wings extending in four directions. Inside, Kleiner filled it with a colorful medley that illustrates her client’s whimsical take on those painterly skies. “This house is a little bit mountain and a little bit modern, but very much her,” says the designer. Kleiner’s other directive was to give a nod to the Old West culture rather than a direct translation. “There’s plaid in the saloon (the playful name for the family room), but it’s turquoise and orange,” she says. And rather than hanging deer antlers on the wall, a turquoise entry bench rests on iron, antler-like legs. Her most striking gesture is a commissioned, 6-foot-tall collage of colored bottle caps that depicts Chipeta, a 19th-century Ute tribal leader. “We amped up her colors and added some jewelry, because
Cedar siding mingles with Colorado sandstone on the façade of a Durango home, created by designer Julie Massucco Kleiner and architect Adam Gardner. Landscape designer Lorain McGlothlin used boulders to help blend the home into a landscape of deer- and elk-resistant plantings.
The great room’s palette echoes that of the commissioned work by Molly B. Right, in which colorful bottlecaps form a portrait of 19th-century Ute tribal leader Chipeta. The owners’ armchairs were recovered in a bold pattern by Osborne & Little, custom sofas wear wool bouclé by Travers and the ottoman by CR Laine is covered in leather by Zax.
River rock from the property was used to create the fireplace surround and window seats in the family room. The sectional is custom, the ottoman is by Vanguard Furniture and the armchairs—covered in a plaid Brentano fabric—are from Witford in San Francisco. The chandelier is by Ralph Lauren for Circa Lighting.
the black-and-white photos of her were very austere,” Kleiner says. Likewise, she hung a vintage tribal blanket— woven in shades of pink, orange, green and blue—on the breezy white walls of the wife’s office, transforming it into a crisp modern statement over an antique desk that came from the owner’s previous home in San Francisco. The outdoors also played a strong role in the design— it’s ever present through 16 sets of glass doors and folding walls that open to porches, patios, balconies and covered living areas. “There are a lot of ways to get outside. This house really lends itself to an open flow,” Gardner says, adding that the dwelling’s outstretched wings establish a dialogue between indoor and outdoor space. “The wings pull you in and draw you out,” he explains. Landscape
designer Lorain McGlothlin, in turn, built walkways that encircle the house through stacked-stone beds planted with deer- and elk-resistant perennials such as lavender and coneflower, mixed with shrubs and aspen trees. Boulders punctuate those gardens, she says: “It might sound weird, but I like to soften with boulders—it gives the house a different texture.” Builder Mark W. Galbraith brought stone into the structure via large pieces of Colorado sandstone and river rock found on the property. Even more monumental are the home’s massive Douglasfir beams and trusses, installed by Alan Bernholtz of Wind River Timberframes. “I’ve done timber-frame houses, but this one was quite complicated, and on such a huge scale,” Galbraith says.
The saloon bar is fashioned with custom millwork and cabinetry fabricated by Scott Grandis of Exquisite Kitchen Design. The pendant light is by Ralph Lauren for Circa Lighting, the barstools are by Made Goods and the Roman shade fabric is Sata by Duralee.

The host chairs are by Hickory Chair and the rug is by Stark. Below: A petrified-wood slab from The Stone Collection forms the kitchen island’s counter. The custom vent hood, cabinetry and island were fabricated by Exquisite Kitchen Design.

Right: In a guest bathroom, a Jamie Young mirror hangs on Harlequin’s Limosa wallpaper depicting a flock of colorful feathers. The sconces are by Circa Lighting and the faucet is by Kohler. Opposite: A mural-like wallcovering by Phillip Jeffries sets the tone for the master bedroom. The bed is upholstered in Pindler’s Hemingway fabric and the custom-embroidered bedding is by Niba Designs. A Noir bench sits at the foot of the bed. The chest is by Vanguard Furniture and is topped with a Hwang Bishop lamp.
Kleiner evened out that scale by employing textured materials that keep one grounded when standing under ceilings that, in some places, soar to 27 feet tall. She wrapped the bar area in the saloon with steel mesh, for example, while boldly patterned drapery in the great room keeps things at eye level. “Every space is so tall and so large that by having different textures, your eye can read what it is,” Kleiner explains. When it came to defining the vaulted master bedroom, the designer and her client both fell for wallpaper that resembles a mural of mountains in a pink-and-lavender mist. “It also reminded me a lot of San Francisco, so it was a perfect
blending of the two places,” the wife says. The treatment is emblematic of what the designer sought throughout the home: “We used color in each room to give it coziness and to infuse some of her personality,” she says of such pieces as the bed upholstered in raspberry linen with a fluffy white bench at its foot. More importantly, the home’s interiors and architecture capture the owners perspective on the Southwest. “I wanted this place to be all about peace and tranquility and gentle spirit,” the wife says, adding that she invited a Native American medicine man to bless the house when it was complete. “It just speaks to me from the inside out.”

PI ECE M A K ER A COLORADO ARTIST MIXES MAGAZINE IMAGES WITH VIVID COLORS IN HER GEOMETRIC WORKS. WRITTEN BY LEILANI MARIE LABONG / PHOTOGRAPHY BY REBECCA STUMPF
luxesource.com / 275
Artist Teresa Booth Brown creates works using disparate items and pieces of inspiration, some of which are seen in her studio (top). For Brown, cutting out bits of magazine images is an integral part of her process. By combining many images, the artist creates works that are entirely new (right). Her all-white studio (opposite) makes a spare backdrop for more brightly colored works.

I “WHEN YOU PUT PREVIOUSLY UNRELATED IMAGES TOGETHER, MAGIC HAPPENS.”
f you recognize a detail in one of Teresa Booth Brown’s pieces, it’s probably because you once spotted it while flipping through a magazine. Familiar images could be anything: the tiered skirt of a flouncy dress, a segment of barcode, or pieces of a landscape or an interior. These bits of glossy inspiration are assembled into collages that serve as the underpinning of her artworks. The mixed-media pieces on wood panels create a surprising experience for the viewer through a deft exploration of color, geometry and pictures from the zeitgeist. “When you put previously unrelated things together, magic happens,” says Brown, who uses the term “collage intervention,” to describe this moment of alchemy. The artist, who splits her time between Aspen and Boulder, consistently finds imagery for her paintings in magazines. For her works on paper, she also uses pieces of book pages, flash cards and foreign currency. Of the latter, the artist says she often replaces the most familiar parts of money (a portrait of a dignitary or numbers) with abstract imagery to make lessnoticeable borders and graphics more prominent. For her mixed-media paintings, Brown starts by excising images from their origins with an X-Acto knife, scissors or simply tearing them away specifically to achieve the rupturing effect that a tattered edge has against more precise lines and shapes. She then adheres them to a wood panel with a Japanese wheat paste called Jin Shofu, a substance often used in the repair of archival
papers. After smoothing and burnishing the images with a cloth and small squeegee, the artist allows the collage to dry before layering on more color by using thin washes or opaque sections of oil paint, slowly creating singular shades. At this point, Brown begins to undo her efforts by sanding or scraping down parts of the artwork. “I like to see its archaeology,” says the artist. “Revealing the history of those layers is a big part of my process.” She then draws on the painting using graphite or ink. The final painting always surprises Brown; in fact, she doesn’t consider it finished until she sees something new and exciting in it. “I never have a preconceived notion of what a painting is going to look like,” says the artist, whose work is carried at Michael Warren Contemporary in Denver. “I’m looking for opportunities and directions while I’m working, so there’s a lot of intuition and chance driving the painting.” The dissimilar collage of images, in various degrees of cloaking, contribute to an improvisational effect. But this spontaneity is confronted—perhaps even corralled—by the precise geometry that is foremost in the painting. Herein lies the real value of Brown’s work: an all-encompassing visual adventure. “Even though I’m taking images from media, I’m not making statements on fashion or politics or the environment,” she says. “Work like that is very much of the moment, but my work is about reflection of interior states of experience. The paintings provide an opportunity for pure observation. They will take you as far as you want to go with them.”

Gravitational Pull CLEAN LINES, COOL TEXTURES AND EXPANSIVE OUTDOOR LIVING ARE DRAWS FOR THIS DENVER RESIDENCE. WRITTEN BY LIZ ARNOLD / PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC LUCERO
K
athy and Steve Beabout had been living in a French Country-style residence for a few years when they decided they wanted something more modern—a home Kathy envisioned as having a classic exterior and a contemporary interior. They sold their traditional home and, after unsuccessfully searching for just the right residence, they decided to build a dwelling in Cherry Hills for their family. In addition to a different style, the couple wanted a home that would be a draw. As Kathy expresses it, “We hoped for a really fun house that everyone could gravitate to.” To start, the homeowners assembled a team, which included interior designer Jane Freking and architects JR Lamicq and Mike Woodley. Lamicq recalls seeing the property for the first time when it was covered in a foot of snow. The acre-plus site wasn’t wide, but it was long and wooded with an existing structure that was beyond repair, and was later torn down. On that snowy day, he and Woodley envisioned a house that was private from the street, but open in the back. Says Lamicq, “We even stamped out a large rectangle in the snow with our boots to figure out where the pool would go, and planned how the new home would be all about backyard living.” It was also decided that, although the new house would be contemporary, it would be designed to fit in with the neighborhood’s classic architecture. As it turned out, the open-plan residence has a more traditional silhouette (classic dormers provide the family with a little more space in the four upstairs bedrooms) with modern styling. A high-contrast exterior of white brick and large, black-framed windows lend a contemporary, European feel. “Kathy was instrumental in getting us on board with design cues,” says Lamicq, noting his client amassed a wealth of inspiration from magazines, Pinterest and even television commercials. Landscape designers
“TEXTURE AND POPS OF BRIGHT COLOR MAKE THIS HOUSE COME TO LIFE.” –JANE FREKING
Phil Hoff and Jennifer Thomas created the backyard with an idea of blurring the indoor-outdoor boundary by continuing the organic feel and clean lines of the house into the hardscape using bluestone, granite and reclaimedwood beams. “The direction for plantings was ‘less is more,’ ” says Thomas, who trimmed existing deciduous trees and added evergreens with a minimalist touch. “For shrubs we used a handful of like-colored plants in shades of green, white and lavender.” Freking collaborated on the interior finishes for an appealing balance of textures, such as reclaimed hardwood beams in the living room and a wood ceiling in the hearth room—a smaller sitting area adjacent to the kitchen. Oak flooring runs throughout, a feature that general contractor Dick Tanner notes is “pretty amazing, simply because of the dramatic width of the planks.” Contrasting with the sensibility of wood are the gleaming Neolith countertops and a fireplace surround, as well as sleek stacking-glass sliding doors that open to the backyard. “Kathy is very into texture and wanted a monochromatic scheme,” Freking says, noting her client’s love of fashion and desire for a “fun factor” ensured an edgy direction. High-style notes include a dining room carpet whose form recalls a chunky knit sweater, a pair of hearth room chairs in a burntorange, of-the-moment upholstery by Kelly Wearstler and chic Italian Flexform sofas with leather-wrapped bases. Contemporary art adds a distinctive note, including a tall African-style sculpture near the hearth room that wears a long, beaded coat. “Each of the beads is manmade,” Freking says. “We loved that because of the texture.” From the front of the house—home to a foyer, music room and formal dining room—to the open-plan, outdoorembracing living areas at the back, several visual moments provide a wow factor. A deep-blue butler’s pantry with glass shelving is accented with brass grommets and hardware (“the finish that everyone is loving,” notes the designer), while a branch-like chandelier stretches nearly the length of a 10-foot, wood-topped dining table. In the kitchen, a massive island offers more generous seating for casual dining. Neutrals, mixed textures and a connection to the outdoors continue upstairs in the master suite. Here, a palette of black and white rules the room. Freking credits the texture-enhancing shiplap ceiling and swivel chairs placed near the giant picture window overlooking the backyard as having strong supporting roles in the space. Going from French Country to an eclectic, transitional residence is a dramatic change, but Freking isn’t surprised that her clients embraced it joyously. “Kathy chooses out of the box, always,” the designer says. “She’s very daring and fun.” The wish for a home that draws people in is fulfilled by an inviting pool and patio, an outdoor fireplace and a bar. Steve describes their new home as a place filled with happy voices as friends, kids and dogs mix and mingle inside and out. As he says, “this place really is a magnet.”
Interior designer Jane Freking created this Denver home with architects JR Lamicq and Michael L. Woodley to suit a couple’s desire for a modern lifestyle. In the hearth room, a CBS Furniture sofa covered in Holly Hunt outdoor fabric and swivel chairs from Egg & Dart offer views of the backyard through the Andersen sliding doors. The brassand-marble coffee table is by Century Furniture and the Jackson Firewood bamboo-silk carpet is by Tufenkian.

Opposite: The kitchen’s focal point is the brass Francois & Co. hood over a Wolf range. Brass also shows up in the Rocky Mountain Hardware cabinet pulls and the Visual Comfort pendants over the island. The cabinets are crafted by Plato Woodwork through Luxe Kitchens & Interiors and the countertops are by Neolith. Below: In the open-plan dining and living room, a custom Parish Co reclaimed-wood dining table is surrounded by woven Palecek chairs. A branch-like Lucia chandelier by Luxe Lighting hangs overhead. The living room is outfitted with Flexform sofas and Poltrona Frau armchairs, all from Studio Como. The hair-on-hide rug is from Kravet.

“THE MIX OF FINISHES IN THE KITCHEN MAKES A BEAUTIFUL SPACE FOR COOKING AND ENTERTAINING.” –JANE FREKING
At the entrance of the hearth room, overlooking the kitchen and the living room, is a ceramic sculpture Taumangoluka Tall Man by Woodrow Nash from Masters Gallery. Flooring throughout the main areas is cathedral-cut white-oak planks from Capital Construction & Design.
In the dining room, a Hélène Aumont Louvre chandelier from Egg & Dart has a wrought-iron frame wrapped in silk cording. It’s a soft counterbalance to the rift-sawn oak David Michael table, surrounded with a custom bench in tie-dye linen and upholstered dining chairs by Henredon through Whitney Evans Ltd.

Contrast is the hallmark of the modern master suite, where Arteriors chandeliers from Urban Lights highlight the vaulted ceiling. Custom throw pillows in Pierre Frey fabrics accent the bed, which is dressed in Sferra linens from The Brass Bed. A quartet of Vanguard Furniture swivel chairs covered in a graphic Romo print carry the rhythm of black and white through the room.

A powder room reflects the interplay of textures and the fashion-forward sensibility throughout the residence. Kelly Wearstler’s Graffito print covers the walls, and rope sconces by Fisher Weisman, purchased at Dennis Miller Associates, introduce an organic feel. The sink fixtures, with Neolith countertops, are by California Faucets.

In the backyard, landscape designers Phil Hoff and Jennifer Thomas placed a gunite pool with a raised spa, gas fire pit, bluestone patio and Neolith bar. For a seamless look, the team used many of the interior finishes outside. Freking selected furniture from Rausch Classics with Sunbrella fabric for the outdoor seating areas.

P
opular music fans are likely familiar with a mash-up, best described as digitally blending two or more recorded songs to create something utterly new. The process makes disparate melodies seamless, allowing the likes of Mozart and Bruno Mars to live together harmoniously in a single melody. It’s a concept not unlike designer Andrea Schumacher’s approach to design. Despite eschewing the word eclectic, the designer is a master genre blender. “I never want a room to look like it came off the showroom floor,” she says. “I love finding unique pieces that look like they came from many different places and using them to create spaces that you would never see anywhere else.” When she met her clients—who were preparing to relocate from New Jersey to Denver with their 7-year-old
son—Schumacher instinctively knew their project would be all about mixing different pieces and styles. “They are young, so it was important that the house be fresh and light and incorporate items with both a classical feel and a sense of whimsy,” she says. The homeowners had a similar flash of intuition about Schumacher: “We are a little quirky,” admits the wife. “And we were drawn to Andrea because, on the surface, her work looks fairly traditional, but look closer and there’s a wink.” But those clever moments would have to wait until the designer and her team, including project manager Troy Rivington, worked some magic on their new home—an ailing 1990s house. Described by the wife as “an old-school Denver house with dark wood everywhere,” the initial budget didn’t match the laundry list of items required for a full transformation—“There wasn’t enough lipstick for all of that,” Schumacher laughs.
Opposite: Designer Andrea Schumacher selected a Thibaut wallcovering, accented with blue-gray molding, for the family room of a Denver home. A Caracole console crafted with bone-covered doors and eucalyptus-wood siding provides storage space. The mirror and sconce are by Arteriors. Below: In the living room, birds of a feather flock together with an avian-leg table by Arteriors and a white heron lamp from The Showroom at Furniture Row.

The designer describes the dining room as: “A soft room to dine in, with a little pizzazz from the light fixture.� The green chandelier is from 1stdibs. The Four Hands oval table with a gold-toned top is surrounded by Vanguard chairs upholstered in Pindler fabric. The painting is from Daleno Art.

But what started as a kitchen and family room makeover quickly became a project of larger proportions. “When we saw what she was doing, we had to do the rest of the home,” says the husband who, along with his wife, signed on for a full-house remodel. “We wanted it to flow.” And flow it does. The designer stained white-oak floors a deep espresso color and spiced up dated trim with dark gray-blue paint, tying the spaces together and establishing the backdrop. Schumacher’s team evened things out by replacing rough-textured, knockdown drywall with smooth surfaces in the living and dining rooms and grass cloth in the kitchen and family room. The home’s youthful vibe is announced at the entry with the combination of a gold-leaf mirror, blue ceramic lamps with a midcentury vibe and wallpaper with a bronze abstract pattern. “We wanted whoever walks in
to know this is the house of a young couple that likes to have fun,” says Schumacher, who punctuated the assemblage with a Balinese sculpture discovered by the owners on their travels. Schumacher says she’s often inspired by fabric (“preferably one with three or four colors”), so she used colorful draperies with a floral, Asian feel as the driver in the living room. A pair of metal-framed Bernhardt chairs with azure velvet cushions and the gold-toned throw pillows on the sofa were a direct response to the blues and yellows that dominate, and the juxtaposition of a brass pulley light fixture on one side of the sofa and a crane lamp sporting a silk shade on the other is pure Schumacher. “I like to bring a little humor into the conversation,” says the designer, who went further for the wink by pairing a classic upholstered armchair with a side table supported by brass bird legs.
“After 20 years of creating kitchens, I now have my own Wood-Mode line in-house,” says Schumacher of the cabinetry. A Currey & Company chandelier complements the other metal accents in the room, the Vanguard counter stools are covered in a durable Kravet vinyl and the countertops are made of quartz.
296 / luxesource.com
Opposite: In the family room, Mr. Brown nesting tables cozy up to a bespoke sofa topped with Ivystone throw pillows. The Vanguard swivel chair features both Pollack and Villa Nova fabrics and the area rug is by Surya. The ding-resistant Global Views cocktail table was chosen to stand up to daily life with a young child. Below: Thanks to the Harlequin wallcovering and a hand-carved Balinese sculpture from the homeowners’ collection, the entry makes a memorable opening statement. The mirror and table lamps are by Arteriors and the console is by Bernhardt. The Shaver-Ramsey rug hints at the color scheme in the rest of the house.
Looking through the master suite door, you glimpse the draperies made with Schumacher fabric that provides the inspiration for the room’s palette. The Vanguard side chair has Gassin upholstery by Castel; beside it is a Regina Andrew side table and a Visual Comfort floor lamp.
A hint of pink on the curtains carries over to the dining room where the French Klismos chairs are upholstered in a similar shade, and a pink-and-green Sputnik light casts a glow on an oval wood table rimmed with bronze. From there it’s a glance away to the hammered-bronze coffee table and metal-trimmed side tables that sparkle in the family room. “I think brass and other warm-toned metals are here to stay, and they are fun, happy elements to weave throughout,” says Schumacher, who continued the shimmer in the kitchen with metal-framed barstools and a brushed-brass chandelier. Kitchen designer Kendall Lacroix selected the cabinetry in a soft gray-blue that lines the remodeled room, and the center island and
leather barstool seats are matched to the darker steelblue molding. Fabric rules again in the master suite where Schumacher pulled colors from the vibrant draperies for the tomato-red pillows and the welt trim on the chair. The sculpted linen headboard is an elegant touch, brass lamps proved irresistible and, when the wife came home with a had-to-have Jonathan Adler floating star chandelier, no one objected. “The designers really understood us,” enthuses the wife. “Andrea’s little jokes and quirky touches show lots of personality and are keeping with who we are.” The result is a mash-up perfectly tuned to the family.
In the master suite, a Phillip Jeffries wallcovering provides a soothing backdrop for a bed upholstered in a Castel fabric. Tomato-red throw pillows by Ivystone are a bright accent. John Richard’s Blooming Pierced Orchid table lamps sit on Vanguard nightstands. The stools and light fixture are all by Jonathan Adler.
luxesource.com / 299
Opposite: “This bathroom feels spa-like,� says Schumacher, referencing the organic pattern of the Kravet wallcovering in the master bath. Visual Comfort sconces light the Wood-Mode vanity, and the mirror is by Uttermost. The sconce above the tub is by Currey & Company, and the beaded chandelier is from Arteriors. Below: A lyrical Global Views floor lamp is the visual centerpiece in the master suite’s sitting area, where Manuel Canovas draperies complement the colors of the Vanguard side chair covered with a Pindler fabric. The ottoman, also by Vanguard, touts Lee Jofa fabric, and the artwork is from Daleno Art.

Plastic is complicated: The material has allowed for important technological advances, but it’s also estimated that by 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish, and the waste caused by singleuse plastic poses a very real recycling problem. Today, a new crop of innovators is focused on upcycling, transforming discarded plastic into colorful, dynamic pieces. This sustainable design approach proves that plastic can be repurposed in exciting ways, while having a positive impact around us.
