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.

Facing page: Innovative new designs include small-scale accent chairs, Les Petite Seats. Top from left: An expansive collection of performance fabrics offers worry-free luxury; Lulu continues to inspire comfort for all; the Spring 2019 Collection features sculptural silhouettes in vivid colors, playful patterns and plush textures; the iconic midcentury Major Chair was introduced in 2011; the Sexy Sadie Chair won a Design 100 award from Metropolitan Home magazine in 1992; in 1989, Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams started their own furniture line.

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

TICKLED PINK!

What constitutes Southern style? I’ve pondered this question as we’ve readied ourselves to plant the LUXE design flag in this incredible part of the country. We can recognize and give credit to the region’s vernacular architecture. Yet, the South is not a homogeneous place. It is layered and rich, and steeped in history. Southerners have an appreciation and abiding love for architecture and design, with a passion for gorgeous homes and entertaining that’s ingrained in the culture. Design in the South has bona fide meaning and a deep connection at its core.

Let’s stay connected as we embark on this design journey together. Drop me an email or send me a DM to let me know what you think of our premier issue or to share a good design story. We look forward to many conversations to come.

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

Both made of scagliola, Moss & Lam’s W1 Mount table and artist Melissa Vogley Woods’ Untitled Form 4 sculpture celebrates this historic medium by incorporating sculptural forms and modern lines.

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

W1 MOUNT TABLE PHOTO: ROCKY CHOI. SCULPTURE PHOTO: MATTHEW VOGLEY.

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.

“THE RISE OF EVERYDAY DESIGN: THE ARTS AND CRAFTS MOVEMENT IN BRITAIN AND AMERICA”

CHECK IN C. BALDWIN

Opening this summer in downtown Houston, the C. Baldwin hotel is named in honor of Charlotte Baldwin Allen, a 19th-century developer, businesswoman and philanthropist who funded much of Houston’s early growth. The hotel, a renovation of the former DoubleTree, showcases the work of two contemporary women: internationally acclaimed architect Lauren Rottet of Rottet Studio in Houston and interior designer Kate Rohrer of ROHE Creative in Philadelphia. Catering to leisure seekers and business travelers, the property will include 354 tasteful guest rooms, eye-catching common areas, a signature restaurant and bar, a lavish nail salon, selected local retailers, activated green space, and 14,000 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting and event offerings. cbaldwinhotel.com 100 / luxesource.com

Through July 14, the Harry Ransom Center in Austin will host an in-depth look at the Arts and Crafts movement, an international trend in decorative and fine arts with roots in 19th-century Britain. Appropriately, the exhibition opened in February, exactly 200 years after the birth of John Ruskin—theorist, artist and influential figure behind the Arts and Crafts idea, which addressed the widening gulf between maker and object owing to the rise of industrialization. The show highlights how prominent figures like Ruskin helped Arts and Crafts flourish, and how items characterized by this movement transitioned from pricey and handmade to eventually manufactured for the everyday consumer. Pieces on display include, sketches by Ruskin and William Morris, stained-glass designs by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and rare plates from Frank Lloyd Wright’s two volumes of hand-drawn lithographs known as the Wasmuth Portfolio. All are paired with photographs, furnishings and decorative arts objects from the University of Texas at Austin’s Alexander Architectural Archives, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and private collections. hrc.utexas.edu WRITTEN BY PAULETTE PEARSON

Known for integrating advanced technology with minimalist form, Kuzco Lighting quadrupled its presence with a 24,000-square-foot space in Trade Mart 4010. Alora Lighting (above), Kuzco’s partner brand, offers classic and transitional fixtures in an adjacent spot. Visual Comfort Group— which includes Visual Comfort & Co., Tech Lighting, Generation Lighting and Monte Carlo Ceiling Fans—debuted a 25,000-square-foot expansion inside the Taylors showroom on the first floor of the Interior Home + Design Center. Additionally, the brand celebrated the grand opening of a new Generation Lighting showroom.

MODTEXAS: PUTTING TEXAS MODERNISM ON THE MAP

Founded in 2018 to support preservation organizations that promote and protect midcentury modern architecture, the group known as modTEXAS has joined forces with Houston Mod, Mid Tex Mod and Docomomo US NTX to launch an interactive Instagram initiative called Putting Texas Modernism on the Map. The project challenges Instagram users to contribute to the cause by documenting examples of notable midcentury design and architecture they encounter throughout the Lone Star State. Participants simply need to photograph the subject, whether a well-known work or a hidden gem, and post the image—based on varying monthly themes such as “residential architecture” and “interiors”—using the hashtag #modtexas. (Monthly themes can be found at Facebook.com/ groups/modTEXAS or Instagram.com/modTEXAS.) The project’s goal is to inspire Texans to unite and ensure the state’s unique midcentury inventory is protected for future generations to enjoy, while also encouraging engagement with local preservation groups. By rallying a coalition of Instagramming midcentury enthusiasts, artists, architects, designers, history buffs, photographers and preservationists—and, ultimately, Texans who know their neighborhoods and back roads the best—modTEXAS promises to yield a robust digital documentation of the midcentury architecture and design elements that imbue the region with so much history and flair. 102 / LUXESOURCE.COM

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.”

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.”

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!”

AIMEE WERTEPNY PROjECT. Chicago, IL Vanguard Furniture, Francoise Bar Cart

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?”

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.”

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. 166 / 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.

ARTISAN

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.

CONNECTED

Working off circadian rhythms to complement how you use the bathroom throughout the day, Kohler’s Veil Lighted Bathroom Collection has strategically placed lighting that can easily be controlled by Kohler Konnect with voice commands. The new Chef Collection 36” Pro Range and Hood by Samsung is Bluetooth enabled allowing it to interact with the Pro Hood which adjusts fan speed based on the heat coming from the cooking surface.

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

Italian company Illulian was founded in Milan in 1959 and has been producing some of the world’s most luxurious, handmade rugs available. Recent designs include dramatic wool-and-silk patterns with electric color. Roy (far left), created in collaboration with Emtivi Studio as part of the Limited Edition collection, is an Art Deco motif made contemporary with a vibrant palette of pink, green and black. Skyla (left), from the company’s Design Collection, contrasts equally dynamic colors in overlaying geometric forms. illulian.com

SEEING GREEN

“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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Drain. Remove the liquid whey (the watery part of milk) from the solid curd by straining. You’ll need a colander and cheesecloth.

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.

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.

Age. Manipulate the development of your final product with the right blend of temperature, moisture and time.

TRENDS IN RENOVATION HOUSTON

What inspires the modern-day homeowner to embark on a renovation project? The design industry’s foremost experts have the answer to this and more—and on the following pages, they’re an open book. Whether improving a floor plan’s flow, integrating high-tech features or reinventing material palettes, they pursue one overarching goal: the optimization of daily life through the personalization of every detail. Join these local pros as they discuss their observations, insights and favorite new lifestyle movements.

THE FINISHING TOUCH

TRENDS IN RENOVATION

ACERO BELLA 713.465.4800 | acerobella.com | @acerobella

Chas Daniels is the president of Acero Bella, Houston’s purveyor of fine home fittings. She and company vice president Kirk Daniels say that understanding the existing conditions of a project is of utmost importance when it comes to appliances, plumbing and hardware. “We always verify the products we’re specifying to work in both the existing and new scenarios,” Kirk says. In addition to kitchen and bath remodels, Chas and Kirk are witnessing the ushering in of bold colors and strong metal finishes. “It’s much harder to pinpoint the time frame of a project that feels procured over time versus everything done to match in the moment,” Kirk says.

Plumbing products, accessories, hardware—these and more comprise kitchen and bath fixtures that put the finishing touch on any redesign. Cabinet knobs, pulls, latches and more are often the most overlooked in a project, but investing in these fine details can make a huge impact in an otherwise simply designed space. Such decorative fixtures not only come in different types and styles, but also finishes. Satin, antique, aged or glossy finishes can transform the look and feel of a space in minutes. Trending today is a mix of metals, contemporary brass and gold, that Chas and Kirk say is a “fun play of a traditional finish on a modern design, with a nod to midcentury modern style.”

CLOSET FACTORY 281.355.7676 | closetfactory.com

Ask any builder, architect, designer or homeowner, and they will agree that closets and other smart home organization renovations are always a worthy investment. Whether a small closet, pantry or laundry room project, the team at Closet Factory brings its organizational expertise to the table with one goal in mind. “We look to optimize space and design around the specific needs of the client, making their lives more practical and functional,” owner and president Don Yokovich says. While most clients have an idea as to what they want to accomplish, be it a concept or an actual photo that inspired them, it’s the professionals who make the difference when it comes to details. “An expert closet design consultant will help solve problems with the space, add creativity, and open the client up to ideas, concepts and features they may never have considered,” he says.

Can you think back to a renovation that put your company’s philosophy, product or service in its best light? It happens all the time. When our clients move to a new home and they do not have the custom closet we previously built, they will call us, because they need the same sense of organization and peace of mind. Do you always recommend homeowners move out during the renovation process? Thankfully, this isn’t required in our work. We can partition the closet after it is emptied, tear out and paint the space, and install custom closets, in most cases, in three to five days.

CLIENTS. CLOSETS. CREATIONS.

After 38 years of design service, it’s difficult for Kara Wuellner, owner and principal of The Design Firm, to pinpoint a project that put her company in its best light. But one particular penthouse comes to mind. “It was a time when sleek, modern, glossy flooring and bold, strong colors were up and coming. Everything was heavy, traditional and silk, so it was a lot of fun showing off our alter ego. That moment showcased our firm’s ability to adapt to any style or design.” When working with clients, Wuellner and her team look for communication, an open mind and personality. “Communication is so important. It ensures the client’s vision is being heard, and allows designers insight into their world,” she says. It’s a fine balance, and one they also apply when it comes to renovating: honoring a home’s architectural history, while instilling modern-day function and character.

THE ‘WOW’ EFFECT

‘TRENDING’ MATERIAL TURNED ‘MUST-HAVE.’ Porcelain! It’s gorgeous, comes in various textures, works indoors and out, and looks the most like a natural stone. We are seeing it everywhere: floors, walls, fireplaces and countertops.

CHANGING CONCEPTS. Designated spaces! We are seeing a slight shift back to home designs that are not as open but have more “flex” spaces. Clients want quieter, more intimate spaces, as well as more wall space for art and bookshelves.

FORCE of NATURE AMPLE SUNLIGHT AND GARDEN VIEWS BRIDGE THIS DALLAS HOMEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S INTERIORS WITH THE OUTDOORS. WRITTEN BY LIZ ARNOLD / PHOTOGRAPHY BY NATHAN SCHRODER

INTERIOR DESIGN / KRISTIN MULLEN AND PAYTON SWANSON, CURATED BY KRISTIN MULLEN

hat initially struck me about this house were the windows with the incredible transoms,” says interior designer Kristin Mullen of the Tudor-style residence she decorated for a Dallas couple. “They evoked the easy, casual feeling of the Hamptons.” That sensibility helped dictate Mullen’s plan for the interiors, which called for weathered surfaces, a muted organic palette and elements that reference the outdoors, all set against polished detailing. The result is a sophisticated yet practical residence for a family with four older children and two Golden Retrievers. “The relationship to outside and an attention to detail were important,” says the wife, “and we also wanted it to be livable.” Working with associate Payton Swanson, Mullen used the natural light and outdoor views as a jumping-off point for the design. “I’m very inspired by nature,” she says. “The rooms overlook the landscape, and we wanted to emphasize that relationship.” With that in mind, she began by tackling the dining room, incorporating a zinc-topped table previously positioned in the loggia of the owners’ former house, wicker dining chairs and a crystal chandelier. “I chose to create a casual, garden-inspired dining room instead of a more formal space,” Mullen explains, “and the whole house took off from that decision.” Elsewhere in the home, that look translated into a selection of natural fabrics, a scattering of found objects and a mix of textural furnishings and antique pieces. The family room, for example, features a French draper’s table backed up against sliding shutter doors salvaged from Egypt, which conceal the television. Through its grandmother clock and collection of accessories, the room also introduces Mullen’s

“MY STRATEGY WAS ABOUT THE PLAY BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARK, AND THE USE OF COLOR IN A VERY SUBTLE WAY.” –KRISTIN MULLEN

preference for Swedish-style design. “This aesthetic is known for layers of books and art, although it’s not excessive,” she notes. In the double-height living room, Mullen mixed textural items with more elegant elements. “You can see the contrast between things that have more patina and those that are more refined,” she explains. “It’s the type of juxtaposition that entices you into a room.” Case in point: Against the background of stately wall paneling, the interior designer placed a comfortable tufted sofa, a pair of refinished French harp chairs covered in a subtle striped fabric and a 1920s Argentinian settee, which she had bleached, refinished and reupholstered in linen. While the paneling and the traditional mantel have a polished air, the seating invites guests to nestle in. All the while, sunlight streams in through the windows, underscoring a serene indoor-outdoor feel. A palette of soft, pastoral hues grounded in darker shades prevails throughout the interiors. “An all-white room feels like it might float away,” Mullen says. “My strategy was about the play between light and dark, and the use of color in a very subtle way.” To that end, the family room walls read an ultrapale blue, green or even gray, depending on the time of day. And in many of the rooms, Mullen reinforced the lighter-hued walls with bolder furnishings. For instance, a metal-based coffee table appears in the family room and a pair of Chinese Chippendale chairs brings substance to the study, while an iron-frame bed, a deep red chinoiserie cabinet and a black lacquered desk lend weight to the master bedroom, where the walls are painted a faint yellow. Mullen also remodeled the kitchen to have a crisp and airy feel, incorporating glass-front white cabinetry that “seems to soar all the way up to the ceiling,” she says, as well as silvery gray tile on the backsplash. True to form, the interior designer anchored the monochromatic space with green paint on the back of the cabinets, espresso-stained oak flooring and a large island topped with hefty honed marble. Driving home the indoor-outdoor connection, easily accessible from here is a kitchen garden that was created in raised beds just outside. The Hamptons region also inspired the look of the property’s lush surroundings. “We elevated the feeling of our exterior spaces dramatically,” says the wife, noting the addition of a rose arbor and a wall of hydrangeas near the pool. Both inside and out, the home radiates warmth and livability while still providing the owners and their guests with an elevated experience. Observing how the clients live in and use the house, Mullen notes they seem to appreciate the restraint and understated elegance of the design. “We live in a world with so much visual clutter on our phones and elsewhere,” she says. “This house offers a place to rest—but also delight—the eyes.”

he limestone slabs that form the pathways around the Hill Country house of Bob and Janet Curtis appear anything but intentional. Like the residence itself, designed by architect Ted Flato, the stone seems deeply connected with the topography—as if soil were swept off the land, exposing the bedrock underneath. “My ancestors were early Hill Country ranchers and that’s the reason I’m here,” says Flato. “The landscape is near and dear to me, and I fully appreciate all of its subtleties.” It was a similar appreciation for the inherent wildness, deep ravines, natural springs and, most importantly, extraordinary views that encouraged the Curtises to purchase this property. They identified a long, flat stretch on a hilltop as the perfect spot for their abode, but plans for a Tuscan-style residence by a different architect never materialized. “We realized we wanted a timeless home that

was more a work of art and would capitalize on the natural setting,” says Bob, “so we asked Lake Flato Architects to help make that dream a reality.” Flato came onboard, joined by designer Joel Mozersky, landscape architect Jon Ahrens and Duecker Construction Co., Inc. After walking the property with his new clients, Flato heartily concurred with them on the home’s placement. “It was a magical spot with sun, prevailing breezes and incredible views,” recalls the architect, who collaborated on the plan with partner Karla Greer and project manager Mindy Gudzinski. But the challenges were twofold: The house needed to be in scale with the elongated peninsula and shielded from the strong winds. The series of buildings that emerged includes a main living space with a connected master suite, and two separate guest casitas—all arranged to fill the commodious hilltop while forming a large protected courtyard that’s also

Above: A custom mesquite wood door by Maverick Doors & Millwork opens to this Hill Country home’s foyer, where designer Joel Mozersky added an antique Malayer rug from Black Sheep Unique to blend with the stone and wood. Opposite: Architect Ted Flato opted for building materials that melded with the surroundings. Here, locally quarried Lueders limestone and custom-built Douglas-fir beams appear at the home’s entrance. Landscape architect Jon Ahrens selected plants that already existed on the property and would thrive with minimal care.

in proportion with the sprawling hill. “The idea of spreading out the structures a little bit felt more in tune with the site,” Flato explains. Not surprisingly, the buildings connect to the locale via limestone walls topped with a rusted Cor-Ten steel roof, while generous overhangs keep the harsh sun at bay. Ahrens selected native plants and grasses to further meld the residence with the coarse surroundings. A key element is the home’s porch, which extends the great room without obstructing the views yet has sliding panel doors to help block the winds. “It’s one of my favorite features,” says Janet. “On warm nights,” Bob adds, “I sit out there for hours and simply slide the doors closed if it becomes too breezy.” Critical details such as these doors fell to Duecker Construction Co., Inc., credited by Flato for understanding the challenges that come with building remotely. “They know that if you forget a hammer you can’t just go and get it,” he says. Turning to the indoor spaces, the owners envisioned an open floor plan designed to utilize every square foot. Hence, the layout features the great room containing the kitchen as well as the main living and eating areas. “While we used the dining room in our previous home only during the holidays,” Bob says, “we dine in this space every night.” Avid entertainers, the couple also requested

a full-size bar—“an important piece of the puzzle,” notes Flato—complete with wine storage, which is also located in the great room. A black panel wall on one side and a white one on the other add drama to the great room’s otherwise quiet palette of soft gray limestone, Douglas-fir trusses and weathered cedar. While the home contains plenty of windows with views, these windowless panels provide a place for artwork and, come nightfall, a respite from the darkness. “During the day, the house is a celebration of the landscape,” Flato says, “but at night these panels help bounce light around.” When asked to furnish these spaces, Mozersky assuaged Janet’s fear of an overly stark result. “He promised he

wouldn’t incorporate anything chrome or shiny,” she laughs. True to his word, the designer opted for warm, comfortable, party-proof fabrics. “The limestone floors and wood throughout provided a clean slate on which to build textures,” notes Mozersky, who favored a mix of wools such as that in the living room rug, woods like the walnut coffee table, and doses of leather. “I love leather,” the designer notes. “It’s luxe, livable, wears beautifully and contrasts nicely with the wood and stone.” For the homeowners, the finished product is an inviting respite that celebrates the land they love. “We feel very fortunate to wake up here each day,” Janet enthuses. “Of all the ranch homes I have seen in my life, this one has the most spectacular view,” Bob adds. “But I am a little biased.”

Common THREAD MARIANA BARRAN DE GOODALL IS ON A MISSION TO SHARE THE ART OF EMBROIDERY WITH THE WORLD. WRITTEN BY SHAWN GAUTHIER / PHOTOGRAPHY BY JILL HUNTER

Houston embroidery artist Mariana Barran de Goodall used an assortment of stitches to create these tile-inspired towel designs (opposite). She sketches each pattern, including this one (top), before embroidering it by hand. In lieu of gardening, she embroiders topiaries and potted plants (right). These cocktail napkins (previous page, right) feature a pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican stitch pattern.

ouston-based embroidery artist Mariana Barran de Goodall calls herself “intense”—an admission she punctuates with her infectious giggle, immediately contradicting the seriousness such a word assumes. Warm and endearing, Barran de Goodall is referring to her insatiable energy for textiles and needlework. She grew up crocheting countless scarves and spent college summers in Barcelona studying European embroidery techniques. And in 2015, she founded a studio, Hibiscus Linens, offering classes and a hand-stitched textile collection. “By sharing my passion with others,” she says, “I am re-energized.” Growing up in Monterrey, Mexico, Barran de Goodall learned to appreciate entertaining from her parents. In fact, she initially opened Hibiscus Linens to create party-ready cocktail napkins and hand towels. Featuring intricate crochet edges and embroidered details, her designs showcase thoughtfulness and quality. “Entertaining is about making guests feel special,” explains Barran de Goodall. She strives to evoke that same feeling through her work: Hibiscus Linens is the country’s only fine linen company to embroider entirely by hand, requiring between two and 30 hours to complete each piece. Barran de Goodall has her mother to thank for introducing her to sewing as well. At age 7, she began stitching loose sequins and ripped tulle at her mom’s performing arts studio. “I became incredibly curious about the process,” recalls Barran de Goodall, whose pursuit continued naturally in her elementary school’s embroidery curriculum. Years later, after moving to Houston, she tapped into her teachings to make baby gifts for friends. “No one believed I’d done them by hand,” she remembers. Soon after she realized there was an interest, her studio was born. Barran de Goodall has since pushed Hibiscus Linens beyond retail into education, organizing workshops, teaching classes and selling DIY kits as part of her collection. While embroidery includes more than 80 types of stitches, she uses only three or four in her designs so students can easily replicate them. “I actually want people to copy my work,” she laughs. A boundless enthusiasm continues to push Barran de Goodall forward—her collection now also includes pillows and children’s clothes, and she’s launching her first full bedding line in the spring. She hardly has time to reminisce, but she does enjoy reflecting on the first class she taught in Houston. Expecting fewer than five students, she was surprised when 32 people showed up, one of whom had flown in from Dallas. It was a promising beginning in her quest for the world to learn embroidery. “I want everyone to experience it,” Barran de Goodall says. “I can’t help myself.”

FEELING BLUE THE COLOR OF AN EARLY-MORNING SKY INSPIRES THE PALETTE FOR A HOUSTON FAMILYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NEW HOME. WRITTEN BY JENNIFER SERGENT / PHOTOGRAPHY BY DROR BALDINGER

Designer Hallie Henley Sims filled this Houston family room with Lee sofas in Perennials velvet, Lee chairs in Brunschwig & Fils and Worlds Away benches in fabric by Kate Spade for Kravet. A rug from Creative Flooring and Serena & Lily coffee table anchor the space. Nadia Palacios designed the millwork and cabinetry with a mesh façade from Fixtures & Fittings.

eth and Buddy Clarke purchased property on which to build a home in their favored Houston school district not long after designer Hallie Henley Sims welcomed her newborn daughter. “Since we were at similar stages in our lives,” says Henley Sims, “Beth knew I would understand what they needed for a home with young children.” So a partnership began to create interiors durable enough for a family yet sophisticated and inviting enough to allow them to entertain. “As a style guide,” the designer adds, “I quickly determined Beth loves color and pattern, but she’s traditional, too.” The owners also enlisted building designer Todd D. Rice, who drew the plans for their French cottage-style house to include painted brick, shutters and cast-stone accents. “We had a specific vision in mind for the bones of the house and we wanted the style to be classic,” Beth says. To that end, Henley Sims began by selecting traditional plumbing fixtures and hardware in an unlacquered brass finish. “One of my favorite things about this residence is the cabinetry detail and millwork,” says Henley Sims, referencing the cabinetry with a mesh façade—also in an unlacquered brass finish—that Nadia Palacios custom designed for the bar area and family room. Tile was next on the to-do list, and that’s when Henley Sims and her client fell for a blue-gray subway pattern for the kitchen backsplash. The color suited Beth, who favors a pale shade of sky blue. “It’s so ethereal, and there’s a lot of it throughout the house,” the designer says. “I coined it ‘Beth Clarke blue.’ ” The tile selection quickly led them down a path toward a primarily blue palette throughout the interiors. “Hallie was able to make it a neutral in our house,”

The kitchen’s Denim Glossy backsplash tile from Arizona Tile inspired the home’s palette. Trinity Estate Homes fabricated the custom vent hood with a brass trim, echoing the Visual Comfort & Co. pendants from Taylors and California Faucets fitting. Ballard Designs counter stools with a laminated Hinson fabric line the Della Terra quartz countertop from Arizona Tile.

Beth says, “and use it in a variety of textures and shapes.” The color now asserts itself as grass cloth on the study walls, on accent pillows in the family room and on wallpaper printed with peacocks perched atop flowering vines in the powder bathroom. Henley Sims branched off with a dramatic navy on the dining room walls and velvet family room sofas and with a Robin’s egg blue in the home office before bringing multiple shades together on the bold upholstery print adorning the master bed. All the while, contemporary art offsets the traditional furniture profiles and fabric patterns, which, Henley Sims notes, “makes the design more interesting.”

Meanwhile, the floor plan was arranged to grow with the family’s needs. “I design for lifestyle and how owners will live and function in the house,” explains Rice, who referred Trinity Estate Homes—including owners Troy Eschberger and John Yoder and project manager Kyle Jensen—to construct the house. Rice positioned the master suite on the main level, while the upstairs playroom and adjacent storage room will eventually morph into a teen media room and homework area. And while Buddy largely stayed out of the design process, he did request a bar area and refrigerated wine closet

Dining chairs from Ballard Designs, in the same fabric as the kitchen counter stools, surround the trestlestyle breakfast room table by Huston & Company in Kennebunkport, Maine. The Thomas Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien for Visual Comfort & Co. chandelier is from Taylors. The Lynn Sanders painting is from Dimmitt Contemporary Art.

to accommodate the couple’s penchant for entertaining. Rice obliged with a bar space off the dining room that features a pass-through window to the stair hall. Henley Sims designed the steel-framed glass wine closet and a bar with cabinetry while the stair hall’s millwork on the other side of the pass-through elegantly frames the opening where guests place cocktail orders. The stair hall paneling flows right into the family room, creating a seamless transition from the front of the house to the rear. “Consistency and continuity are important,” Henley Sims says, adding that she unified the main-level

spaces with casual sea grass rugs. “They’re durable, they don’t absorb liquid and they’re cost-friendly,” she explains, “and because the home belongs to a young family, the rugs help make it feel more casual.” With durability in mind, Henley Sims also selected mostly spill- and stainproof upholstery—and went one step further by laminating the kitchen’s dining chair and counter-stool cushions. Now that the project is complete, the designer and her client have traded design meetings for moms’ nights out. Says Henley Sims, “This was truly like a dream project—the best-case scenario.”

Opposite: A pass-through opens from the bar into the stair hall, where the Stanton wool stair runner is from Creative Flooring. Bar glassware from Your Butler’s Pantry tops the Striato Olimpico marble countertop from Omni Surfaces. Nadia Palacios designed both the bar’s custom cabinetry and the stair hall paneling. Below: The dining room walls were painted Benjamin Moore’s Hale Navy for formal flair and the clients’ own dining chairs were reupholstered in a Scalamandré fabric. Dishes and glassware from Your Butler’s Pantry top a table by Lillian August for Hickory White. Lamps by Aerin for Visual Comfort & Co. from Taylors flank art from the owners’ collection.

Opposite: The study’s pale blue grass-cloth wallpaper by Thibaut provides a backdrop for framed watercolors by Susannah McGown and allows the drum-style chandelier by Aerin for Visual Comfort & Co. to shine. Quadrille fabric on the clients’ armchairs carries through the color scheme. Below: Scalamandré wallpaper in the wife’s favorite shade of blue defines the powder bathroom, where a remnant piece of marble from Grand Stone tops a brass-and-lucite vanity base. Alexa Hampton for Visual Comfort & Co. sconces from Taylors—with shades painted to match the wallpaper—flank a mirror from Mirror Image Home in Los Angeles.

A basketweave combination of Carrara and Bardiglio marble from Floor & Decor forms the master bathroom flooring, and Carrara marble subway tile from Arizona Tile lines the shower walls. The freestanding tubâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as well as the California Faucets shower and tub fittingsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are from Morrison Supply Company.

In the master bedroom, a Bob Collins & Sons Inc. fabric on the Lee headboard complements the marbleized plates by Christopher Spitzmiller hanging above and the rug from Matt Camron Rugs & Tapestries underfoot. The Bungalow 5 nightstand holds a blue ceramic Festoni lamp.

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.
