ANTENNAE UP!

I’ve always felt that summer is the season when creative pursuits are ripest to blossom. It may seem counterintuitive that at a time of year when the pace slackens, a colliding of ideas would swell. Yet, it’s precisely the mind-wandering lazy days of summer, when many of us are traveling to far-flung destinations or simply puttering around in the garden on a “Summer Friday,” that the path to inspiration clears. An aha moment can lead you anywhere— hopefully, on a journey of new surroundings and experiences: from a fresh coat of paint on your living room walls to an impromptu dinner party under the stars. Creativity is a spark, best ignited with a large dose of passion, a slice of relaxation and a bit of imagination. This summer, be open to what’s new and refreshing. Hover through these days with your antennae up… sense what is possible. Let this issue, dedicated to exploring international design, be the trigger that kicks it all off.

EDITOR’S LETTER

Global Designer Collaborations that Re-imagine the Bath Space How one feels at home, personal wellness and the enjoyment of well-living are qualities that resonate more than ever today with consumers and have become must-have requirements for architects and designers when creating residential projects. As the place where the daily ritual begins and ends, the bathroom environment needs to evolve to reflect these desires. Progressive brands are thinking “outside the bath” and saying goodbye to mundane bath layouts, typical fixtures and homogenized accessories. As companies look to set themselves apart from the pack, more are reinventing the bath space by infusing it with highend European architecture and design. Rather than stick to their normal team of designers, these companies are seeking out talent known for their work in other fields to create products unlike any seen before. These revelatory collaborations tap into the designers’ unique perspectives, resulting in visionary products that go beyond the typical bathroom fare – and capture the creative spirit of imagination, innovation and art with a refined European edge. Ronbow® is one of these companies creating a difference in bath design. The new Signature Series by Ronbow features over 200 new products and 11 new collections of globally trendsetting bathroom products by nine of the world’s most distinguished artists and designers from six European countries. Known for their contributions to iconic brands such as Nike, Adidas, Vuitton, Audi, Apple and a firm recognized for several exotic Italian automobiles, these designers – each with their own unique sensibility – entrusted their prestigious reputations to Ronbow because of their ability to deliver on their requirements and ideas with innovation, great design and outstanding quality. By working with designers who may see the bathroom space and application in a different way than typical, Ronbow has created next-generation bathroom furniture and complete suites integrating a creative edge, convenient and smart innovations such as LED touch-sensitive mirrors, USB ports and plug outlets, refined accessories and unique material combinations.

VENTO - PININFARINA A 360° design house of international repute and a world-renowned symbol of Italian style, Pininfarina is arguably the most recognized brand in Italian sports car design and has designed in a multitude of other fields. The VENTO collection by Ronbow translates the Pininfarina identity into a variety of versatile and functional bathroom pieces for the design-minded consumer. The VENTO collection, or “wind” collection in Italian, emphasizes an elegant, sleek and innovative sinktop design inspired by perfectly smooth snowdrifts carved by fast, strong winds. Unmistakably, the designer’s mastery of Italian grace, sex appeal and flair are all conveyed in the sinktop.

WATERSPACE - JOAN LAO Based in Barcelona, Spain, Joan Lao is an international design icon recognized for his work in product, interior and architectural design. Since opening his design studio in 1985, he has participated in more than 3,000 interior design projects for clients who appreciate his unique design stamp across furniture, lamps and objects – one of balance and peace. Symbolizing soothing, flowing water, the WATERSPACE collection integrates natural tones, undulating textured wood finishes and a curved design theme for a complete sense of balance and tranquility.

PEBBLE - ORA ITO Ora Ito became globally famous in the ’90s by hijacking symbolic brands such as Apple and NIKE and presenting them with virtual visionary 3D products via media. He is ranked among the top 40 most influential people in the world of design and has collaborated with clients including Heineken, Toyota, Adidas and Pathé, to produce award-winning designs. Inspired by pebbles on the seashore, the PEBBLE collection represents Ito’s idea of “Simplexity” – art to give an object with complex functions a visible simplicity. The glossy white wood finish acts as a canvas to best showcase the unique, organic, “pebble-like” shapes and curves, bringing natural elegance and harmony to the contemporary bath.

Thanks to these visionary designer pairings, Ronbow has recontextualized a new world beyond the bath.

NOCE - MATTEO THUN Designed by revered Italian architect and designer Matteo Thun, who is well-known for his design work with Swatch, and Antonio Rodriquez, the NOCE collection was born to combine urban and contemporary classic styles. The NOCE collection is reminiscent of iconic 1960s vintage style with a modern, functional twist, including LEDs and integrated electrical outlets and USB ports. The suite includes mid-century modern inspired vanities along with optional hutches and more – resulting in a space that is compact but comfortable.

WIDE - PHOENIX DESIGN Phoenix Design is regarded as the leading independent studio worldwide for product and interface design, with clients including Audi, Duravit, Hansgrohe, Samsung and ZEISS. Recognized for its revolutionary design achievements, Phoenix Design has received more than 700 design awards since its foundation in 1987 and has collaborated with Ronbow for two new collections. Named for its vertically “stacked,” asymmetrical appearance, the STACK collection is built from layers of contrasting materials, colors, shapes and orientations – creating a unique, multi-functional living space. Inspired by Bauhaus design theory and style, the WIDE collection celebrates the elegance of pure, clean design and harmonious color combinations.

LAURE JOLIET

Photographer / Los Angeles

KIMBERLY OLSON Writer / San Francisco

Most memorable interview: I interviewed a couple who were high school sweethearts and had just built their Miami dream home. The design team created a space that was such a reflection of them, incorporating elements that evoked both their world travels and an indoor-outdoor feel, as well as adding a sound system for parties. The husband even designed some first-of-theirkind, remote-controlled gas lanterns, which are now on the market—a true passion project. What’s your design style? I like classic pieces with a sense of history, but I also appreciate clean lines without too much fussiness—and I’m definitely not someone to shy away from color. I have a tufted-velvet sofa in a lovely lime green. No regrets! Prized possessions: A gorgeous Tiffany-style stained glass lamp that my father made for me and an old doll that belonged to my grandmother, which my parents had restored as a birthday gift. I’d include my cat, Ariel, but she rules the roost, so she might object to being called a possession.

CYNTHIA LYNN Photographer / Chicago What type of design inspires you? I’m really fascinated with late19th-century architecture. However, my own personal taste is very modern. I just love when architects and designers marry the two. For example, when they choose to keep the façade of existing structures but completely modernize the living space, I think that’s just fantastic! Most interesting person you’ve ever met: My husband and I went truffle hunting in Alba, Italy, and met a truffle hunter and his dog, Gigi. He was absolutely fascinating—from the way he interacted with the dog to the history he upheld for the art of truffle hunting. It was as if he were a character written for a book. He also spoke very little English, so his enchanting personality transcended language barriers. It was one of my fondest memories, and I’m so grateful we were able to meet him. If I weren’t a photographer, I would… Run an animal rescue and rehabilitation center. I’m a huge animal person and have such a soft spot for dogs. I do what I can now by fostering, but I would love to do more someday.

JENNIFER SERGENT Writer / Washington, D.C. What do you find most enjoyable about design? I like that it’s so personal, like music. Designers can take the same fabrics and furniture (as musicians do with the same notes and scales) and combine them in limitless ways to express a point of view or mood. I see interior design as transformative for the psyche even more than for aesthetics. Prized possession: A chest my husband commissioned designer and furniture maker Caleb Woodard to make for me. The carved wood on the doors resembles woven ribbons. If money were no object, I would buy… A beach house in Fenwick Island, Delaware. I’ve vacationed there with my family since I was little, and it would be great to own something there.

Favorite Luxe shoot: A penthouse in San Francisco I photographed that had views of the Transamerica building, through the dining room window, and the Golden Gate Bridge, out the living room windows. It was great! What’s intriguing you now in the world of design? I like that there’s so much room these days for innovation and experimentation. The Internet has democratized a lot of the design world, so small firms making thoughtful pieces can thrive alongside huge companies. Most fascinating person you’ve ever met: I sat next to an army doctor on a flight out of Boise who was on his way to Liberia to head up Ebola treatment centers at the peak of the epidemic. He had so much life experience, compassion and courage, as well as epic patience, as I peppered him with questions for two hours. Top three things on your design wish list: I would love to own a heated outdoor bench from Galanter & Jones for chilly California evenings, artwork by Lauren Spencer King, and a custom quilt from Counterpane.

DRAWN TO SCALE

THE CREATIVE FORCE BEHIND THE BELOVED OUTDOOR FURNITURE BRAND JANUS ET CIE, JANICE FELDMAN DESIGNS HER OWN LEGACY THANKS TO A COUPLE OF MUCH-BUZZED-ABOUT NEW PARTNERSHIPS.

Share your recent decision to join Haworth and the Poltrona Frau Group. Well, it’s been a journey, but I wanted very much to ensure the future of my business: that when I’ve retired, to that great drawing board in the sky, my life’s work will be cared for and regarded with admiration and respect, and that I’ll have created a good, safe place for the people who have helped me get to where I am. Poltrona Frau is a great bastion of luxury furniture, and they’re super-respectful of the autonomy of their individual brands, so I feel honored to be the little sister of their group. They’re going to help us grow globally much quicker than I could have as a standalone company.

Is there anything you’ll miss about going at it alone? Truly, I was never really “alone.” When I was a little girl, my mother always said, “You can do anything.” I’ve lived with that in my head and heart, and she helped and encouraged me every step of the way. The best part about being independent for so long was that I got to prove my mother right. I’ve always made decisions based on my own feelings and my own definitions of what’s good or bad, so it might be challenging at first to be more collaborative and sensitive to other people’s visions, but Dario Rinero, Poltrona’s CEO, is a wonderful leader, and I’m confident we have a lot to learn from each other.

What led you to tap Piero Lissoni to design an upcoming collection for Janus et Cie? I’ve been tracking him for a long time, and I just think everything he does is beautiful. He’s also a total character. Every time I look at Piero, I’m struck by his physicality: I want to draw him. He’s got this long, linear, Giacometti thing happening, and it’s in his drawings and product design, too. I trust the collection will be something very special and that it will be refined and long-lived—something where, 20 or 50 years from now, people will still say they want to buy pieces from the collaboration. How do you keep your creative mojo alive and well? I love to sketch. It helps me think—to take things out of my head and put them down on paper. I started drawing at a very young age, and I was hooked the moment I took my first art class. The instructor made us look at the model and draw without referencing the paper in front of us at all. It was kind of amazing to let your brain communicate directly with your fingers and the pen and to not be burdened by having to check in on yourself. It stuck with me. Today, I often keep a journal or a notepad when I travel; sometimes, I jot down ideas, and other times, I’ll paint a portrait or a chair—anything really. I’m extremely visual, and I edit the world in my own way every day.

GUIDE & SEEK

ANTIQUING IS ALL ABOUT THE THRILL OF THE HUNT, UNEARTHING DÉCOR RICHES THAT TAKE INTERIORS TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH PROVENANCE.

Antique neophytes and aficionados alike know that when it comes to seeking period pieces in Europe, the legendary Paris Flea Market is a beacon of uncovered treasures that is not to be missed. In any given direction of the décor haven, though, there is a bevy of insider-caliber antiques dealers and emporiums silently beckoning from the far corners of southern England, Holland, northern France and Belgium, where private residences (such as Axel Vervoordt’s storied castle) open their doors to welcome guests, by-appointment only, on the hunt for uncommon goods. Here, a collection of antique garden gnomes and neo-Gothic cathedral ceilings are as fair game as British Colonial case goods and Louis-era anything. What was once a sport for design-loving history buffs, and, let’s face it, your grandmother, is now much further reaching. “Antiques are being used more overall, but less in abundance,” notes Toma Clark Haines, CEO and founder of The Antiques Diva & Co., Europe’s largest network of antiques buying tours. “More people are seeking something authentic that their neighbor doesn’t have, including the younger generation. They are looking for experiences as unique as they are and want their homes to tell those stories through key pieces.” Haines, an American expat whose home base is in Berlin, offers a crucial piece of advice no matter how obscure or conventional your purchasing pursuits: “Buy with your heart. You may not know the difference between Louis XV and Louis XVI, but if you buy what you love, you can always learn about it later.” Taking her cue, we invite you to explore our robust list of must-shop European dealers and locales—we dare you to leave empty-handed.

Lorfords Antiques in Tetbury, England, houses 45 dealers in two repurposed World World II aircraft hangars.

RADAR / TROVE

Lorfords Antiques Tetbury, England

Reason to go: For argument’s sake, Lorfords Antiques in Tetbury, England, has the best inventory in all of the U.K. and Europe. According to Haines: “It’s like you’ve taken the Paris Flea Market and picked out the top 10 percent of its decorative items and put them in one unexpected location.” What you’ll find: Owners Toby Lorford and Lesley Ferguson converted two World War II-era aircraft hangars, which currently house the wares of 45 dealers. It’s truly a one-stop shop where time seems to stand still (though quickly ticks away) while visitors scour every alcove and leave feeling like family. Their selection runs the gamut, including standouts like a signed 18th-century Swedish Rococo tragsoffa, late 18th-century French limestone wellhead and a pair of circa-1970s Ingo Maurer spring lamps.

Paul De Grande Snellegem, Belgium

Reason to go: Paul De Grande’s personal collection of over 10,000 antiques is reason enough to make a stop in Snellegem, Belgium. The pieces are effortlessly on display in his own home: a glorious property that greets you with marble sculptures and bronze busts set atop fluted pedestals. Just when you think you’ve seen everything De Grande has to offer on the ground level of his castle, you descend into the basement to uncover a labyrinth of goods. What you’ll find: The discoveries are wide in range: Meandering through the castle unveils cast-iron lion and unicorn andirons from the 19th century mingling fluently with a decorative carousel duck poised beside an unusual 18th-century country French vaisselier, while inlaid Chinese chairs inset with marble plaques in the backrest join 17th-century Flemish tapestries and Dutch carved coconut flasks. And as if the options in De Grande’s residence weren’t sufficient, there are voluminous warehouses a quick car ride away with a dizzying assortment of 16th- to 19th-century cupboards, vitrines, commodes, bureaus and even a life-size patinated zinc camel.

Jean-Philippe Demeyer Knokke-Heist, Belgium Reason to go: Jean-Philippe Demeyer takes obvious chances with his antiques picks, but trust us, it’s all good. The spaces in his moatencircled castle, well, one is more lavish than the next, fashioned with a cocktail of textures,

Clockwise from top: Paul De Grande’s warehouse space is a trove of antique goods. A quiet moment at Bie Baert’s personal home. You’ll find elegant historical pieces next door to the beautiful JVR108 guesthouse in Antwerp. The personality-filled sitting room at Jean-Philippe Demeyer’s Belgian home.

colors and peculiarities that all add up to a somehow melodious visual feast. What you’ll find: It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly what will be available at Demeyer’s home on any given weekend, as the designer and antiques enthusiast buys whatever strikes his fancy. Nothing is off-limits, as Demeyer isn’t tied to any of the fantastic specimens he owns; in fact, he welcomes change, and observes pieces coming and going as an opportunity to hunt down more precious décor gems.

Bie Baert Brecht, Belgium

Reason to go: Sometimes, if you’re lucky, you’ll encounter a person and place that make you feel immediately at ease. Bie Baert is that person, and her charming cottage on the outskirts of Antwerp is that place. Like walking

Clockwise from far left: Collected vignettes like this one are plentiful at Monique Relander’s shoppable home. Anouk Beerents’ charming shop in Amsterdam features a bevy of gilded mirrors. Truly unique finds are around every corner at Espace Nord Ouest. An antique clock at Lorfords Antiques.

into an old friend’s home (coffee and tea at the ready), Baert’s magnetic personality and collection will welcome you into her eccentric world, where a pair of distressed wooden penguins and a gilded papier-mâché boot holding an umbrella will leave you wondering why you didn’t already own such quirky things. What you’ll find: Antique garden gnomes, an anatomical model of a worker bee and a menagerie of wooden lay figures somehow seem obvious, filling every nook and cranny of Baert’s home. Your resting place for an espresso and a chat, a 14-foot-long table, made out of one solid piece of oak, is where you survey your surroundings and unexpectedly spot two perfectly worn red-leather Cassina chairs and a cheery bird-adorned plaster chandelier by Jacques Darbaud, circa 1990.

JVR108

Antwerp, Belgium

Reason to go: Antiquing through Belgium could take a few days, and Philip Ver Hoeye and Frederick Aers’ luxury three-bedroom guesthouse in Antwerp is unquestionably an ultrachic place to rest. The best part? Most of the furnishings throughout the fully renovated historical mansion are for sale, as are all the finds next door at their dedicated antiques shop. What you’ll find: The lovely hosts of JVR108 recently acquired all the contents of Belgium’s famous Chateau Rozenhout, which means you can own an iconic piece from one of the great houses of Europe. Other offerings include keenly curated British, Italian, Swedish and Asian antiques that exemplify the couple’s exceptional tastes.

Monique Relander Schoten, Belgium

Reason to go: From the looks of Monique Relander’s home, “edit, edit, edit” is her mantra. An impeccable assortment of antique and vintage furnishings, lighting, tabletop and décor beckon you to roam through every room, taking in the crystal chandeliers, velvet scallop-edged settees, and oil works by Belgian artist Smaël Laurent. What you’ll find: Newly upholstered midcentury Italian armchairs, Swedish loungers and Louis XV-style caned dining chairs abound. A zebra-hide rug might lead your eye into another room where a marble-topped gueridon table with gilded swan adornments holds a Maison Charles pineapple lamp. A peek into her country kitchen, complete with a bifocals-wearing boar head holding guard above the fireplace, may reveal a medley of vintage fruit-shaped ice buckets.

Anouk Beerents Amsterdam, Netherlands

Reason to go: If you’re ever faced with the arduous choice of how to spend an afternoon in Amsterdam, we’re about to make it easy for you: Make a point to see Anouk Beerents’ inconceivably magical mirror shop. Ornate gilded mirror after mirror hung on movable tracks will leave you intoxicated and enamored, as if you walked through the looking glass itself into a wonderland. What you’ll find: Beerents specializes in 18th- and 19th-century French gilded

mirrors, specifically Louis XIV, Régence, Louis XV and Louis XVI, all of which she sources herself. To preserve authenticity, Beerents conservatively restores them with old-world techniques.

Espace Nord Ouest Bondues, France

Reason to go: Two hours north of Paris, Espace Nord Ouest is quickly becoming the European source for antiques dealers in the states that focus on decorative eccentricities, as well as major fashion retailers looking to outfit their stores with unique curiosities. What you’ll find: Seventeen professional dealers over nearly 13,000 square feet offer a downright cool assortment of 17th- to 20th-century pieces, such as industrial and shop furniture, garden décor, architectural salvage, classic French seating and case pieces, and vintage midcentury lighting and furnishings.

A lavish robe shot through with silk. A vessel painstakingly engraved with precious metals. A portrait rendered in watercolor, ink and gold. The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s recent exhibition “Court and Cosmos: The Great Age of the Seljuqs” showcases the artistic splendor that flourished during the reign of the Seljuqs, whose rule stretched across Western Asia from the 11th through the 13th centuries. In conjunction with the show, the museum’s store is introducing a line of modern-day heirlooms—ranging from glass objects and jewelry to ceramics and limited-edition rugs— that celebrate the dynamic legacy of the period. “It was evident that the pattern and color inherent in the original art still influences and inspires makers today,” says Susan Noonan, the museum’s general manager of buying and merchandising.

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY LISA BINGHAM DEWART

Among those tapped to create the new interpretations of these centuries-old designs was Barbara Barran of Classic Rug Collection in New York. “The colors are gorgeous, and I love the geometry,” Barran says of the region’s art. It wouldn’t be the first time Barran, who has traveled frequently to the Middle East, has transformed work from the area into carpets. “I’ve designed rugs based on Iznik tiles and translated them into 300-knot silk,” she notes. “The Seljuq pieces are from a slightly earlier time period, but there was something about them that was very familiar.” The source materials selected as a jumpingoff point for the rugs immediately resonated with Barran, easily informing her design direction. For example, after seeing the stone-paste mina’i bowl with an abstract pattern from some 900

years ago in the museum’s collection—which served as the foundation for the Mina’i Good Wishes rug (above)—Barran “knew it should be a wool flat weave because it needed to have the earthiness of the original bowl,” adding, “The colors were lovely and the repetition of the pattern had a gorgeous rhythm.” The other source—another mina’i piece featuring a zigzag pattern and gilding—suggested a more polished take. Offered in wool with silk accents, the Mina’i Zigzag rug hews closely to the spirit of its namesake but is imbued with a modern feel. While nearly a millennium separates Barran from the original creators, she still feels a sense of connection. “There’s a liveliness to the art from this period,” Barran explains. “You look at it and find yourself picturing the people who created it. To me, they’re not strangers.”

UPWARDLY MOBILE THE WORLD’S FOREMOST VENUE FOR LUXURY FURNISHINGS AND ACCESSORIES—SALONE DEL MOBILE—CAPTURES THE INHERENT COOL OF THE ITALIAN CITY THAT IT CALLS HOME.

Among Salone del Mobile’s many new introductions were (clockwise from top) Natuzzi’s Dorian line, Flou’s Softwing bed—an update on the company’s famous Nathalie—and Poltrona Frau’s Neri&Hu-designed mirror.

It is, as it turns out, nearly impossible to order an icy glass of water in Milan—room-temperature naturale being completely de rigueur; instead, the cosmopolitan Italian city concerns itself with a different kind of cool. Here, for one week each spring, its fashionable citizens (think plenty of black, linen, leather and painstakingly rolled-up jeans and cigarette pants) join an international conglomerate of visiting design aficionados, trading in their impossibly stylish heels and wingtips for sensible footwear all in the name of design as Salone del Mobile rolls into town. The floors of Salone, the world’s largest furnishings fair, which inhabits the sprawling halls of the Milano Congressi convention center designed by Mario Bellini, are meant to be thoroughly explored, pavement pounded—each corner of its nearly 600,000 square feet filled with furniture and accessories from the world’s preeminent creative minds. And while the talent hails from all over Europe and beyond, there’s a distinctly Italian flavor to the proceedings: a flair for the dramatic and a gravitas provided by the beautifully preserved centuries-old buildings that host the design events within the city, both in the showrooms of established Italian brands and in a bevy of what we affectionately referred to as “palazzo pop-ups” during our visit. Kohler’s showing of its new line of fixtures in collaboration with the French designer Jean-Louis Deniot, for example, takes place at the tony Palazzo Durini di Monza, a 17th-century mansion designed by the Baroque architect Francesco Maria Richini—a juxtaposition of modern chrome and porcelain against ancient stone and Renaissance art. In Bottega Veneta’s dedicated home boutique, too, the venerable fashion house-turned-luxury furniture brand pairs the sleek lines of its übermodern living, dining, office and bedroom

offerings with 18th-century frescoes by artists like Carlo Innocenzo Carlone and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. The result is startling but also, somehow, entirely inevitable thanks to the attention to detail that is paramount in Italian design. And it’s everywhere. For celebrated kitchen brands like Varenna by Poliform and Boffi, each cabinet front and drawer is a work of art—every element carefully veneered, laser-cut and dovetailed together like so many puzzle pieces. At Flou, a variety of new introductions are a pitch-perfect complement to the brand’s longtime bestsellers, like the Nathalie—arguably the industry’s first upholstered bed, designed by Vico Magistretti in 1978, which still looks utterly timeless with its tireless slipcovered reinventions. Longtime power players B&B Italia and Flexform, too, stay nimble by introducing covetable new pieces— like the Do-Maru armchair by Doshi Levien and a brand-new line of seating by Daniel Libeskind, respectively—to a roster of old favorites. On once-barren concrete plots in the middle of the convention center, each brand transforms its booth into a mini home away from home—each one different and dazzling but many embracing a rich, Italian minimalism as a common theme along with another unifier, this one a bit more material (literally): While structured Italian footwear is more or less on hiatus for the week, leather pervades everything else. It’s in the thick straps of the striking, buckled light pendants and impressive Neri&Hu-designed mirror and valet stand at Poltrona Frau; it’s used in a hundred different ways on the supple cushions of Natuzzi and Molteni&C’s many beautiful sofas and chairs; it’s inset into the ultimate desk for movers and shakers at Promemoria; and it’s woven and stitched with remarkable precision across a variety of Hermès home offerings. For all its eye candy and endless inspiration, the true beauty of Salone is in the escape it provides: Here, there are a multitude of worlds rapidly constructed, but with great care, that you can imagine yourself in, with thousands of new products with which to redesign the perfect room in your mind, and not a single person to pass judgment. They’re design lovers, after all, and they’re likely doing the exact same thing, and we’re happy to toast to that—the water may be warm, but the Prosecco is ice cold.

@loomgoods

WHO: Karyn Blosil and Ashly Lark, best friends and the power duo behind home textile brand Loom Goods, find a creative muse in their laid-back locale: Southern California. Blosil, now based in Salt Lake City, grew up in San Diego, and Lark resides in San Juan Capistrano. WHAT: Expect to see images of new products (like the duo’s recently launched in-house textile line), deliciously layered interiors and enviable weekend getaways, all unified by the brand’s signature palette of toned-down neutrals, clean lines and straightforward styling.

The hippest hotel in Southern California has come to Palm Springs. Framed by the picturesque San Jacinto Mountains, Arrive—a 32-room boutique hotel in the Uptown Design District— has been imagined as a neighborhood haunt for loyal locals and community-seeking visitors alike. Chris Pardo, a partner of the hotel and founder of Chris Pardo Design: Elemental Architecture, designed the space, utilizing architectural nods to the area’s iconic midcentury buildings (think butterfly roofs and clerestory windows). This homage extends to the finishes of the hotel, where rusted steel, wood and concrete are used throughout. Each guest room is uniquely furnished with modern yet approachable pieces, some containing private patios and Modfire fireplaces. But the property’s soul lies in its communal spaces; for example, the perpetually packed bocce court and games area, shared fire pits and party-ready central pool. Pardo tapped local artists to lend their designs to some of the hotel’s more playful moments, like Calvin Dahlstrom, who custom-built two Ping-Pong tables with cheeky steel-cut phrases serving in the place of nets. Grab your keys—and a cocktail—at the bar, as a traditional front desk is nowhere to be found. arrivehotels.com

IN THEIR WORDS: “We stick to taking photos of places and things that we find interesting. Often, we try to capture photos that give a little glimpse into our lives and the behind-the-scenes of running a business while trying to manage a household with little ones.”

OPEN HOUSE ART GALLERIES

Art purveyors rejoice, as a batch of renowned galleries are opening up outposts in downtown Los Angeles. Franklin Parrasch of New York’s Franklin Parrasch Gallery has teamed up with Christopher Heijnen on the new Parrasch Heijnen Gallery (1326 S. Boyle Ave.), which launched with an inaugural exhibit of Ken Price’s ceramic pieces. Maccarone (300 S. Mission Rd.), too, planted its flag in Boyle Heights with a roster of emerging artists on view. Meanwhile, Hauser Wirth & Schimmel (901 E. 3 rd St.) introduced its sixth global location in March, inspired by the practices of local artists like Allan Kaprow, Richard Jackson and Paul McCarthy—each of whom are represented in the space. In one of the earliest entrances to the scene, Venus (601 S. Anderson St.) set up shop in an expansive former warehouse. “In terms of Los Angeles arts geography, it is the epicenter of everyone’s interest and dialogue,” says the gallery’s director, Anna Christina Furney, of the now-buzzing art hub.

WHY: The world of Loom Goods is an inspiring place. With an acute awareness of style and a focus on artisanship, Blosil and Lark devise a feed that is at once inviting and playful. Their lightly patterned wares take center stage in the scroll and will leave you longing for mud-cloth pillows and handwoven baskets.

DATE BOOK JACLYN JOHNSON

By now, you have probably heard of Create & Cultivate. Since its conception in 2014, the online platform and offline conference has garnered the attention of curious creatives, girl bosses and the who’s who of the current digital world. “As a female entrepreneur, I couldn’t find the resources I needed online,” explains founder Jaclyn Johnson, “the ‘real talk’ that our generation seeks out when it comes to business.” Johnson started her career in New York working in magazines before she made a switch to digital marketing. It was when she started her own agency, No Subject, that she realized the industry was missing a place to find tangible business advice from likeminded entrepreneurs. So she created it. Create & Cultivate now refers to its site as a 365-day conversation, featuring company profiles, enlightening interviews and real work advice. To accompany your daily dose of business inspiration, the brand holds a conference three times a year, with an esteemed roster of guest speakers. Apart from her business savvy, Johnson is a local design purveyor, calling out some of her Los Angeles favorites, such as furniture maker Fragments Identity, online décor powerhouse Lulu & Georgia and the Echo Park Craft Fair. Here, she shares her ideal day in Los Angeles for the stylish, entrepreneurial set. createcultivate.com

10 a.m. Pop in to Proof Bakery in Atwater Village for a coffee and the most mind-blowing ham-andcheese croissant of your life. 11 a.m. Stop by the incredible Individual Medley for some pre-lunch shopping and peruse its unique range of artisan goods that are sourced from all over the world. Some other Silver Lake boutiques that I love are Clare V. on Sunset Blvd., Mixed Business on Hyperion Ave., Steven Alan Outpost on Hillhurst Ave. and, of course, Broome Street General Store on Rowena Ave. 12 p.m. Swing by Din Tai Fung for its world-famous handmade soup dumplings. They are to die for. 1 p.m. Grab a delicious and refreshing ice cream at Milk’s Silver Lake outpost. It’s the cutest little sweets shop right near the reservoir, and it has the most insane ice cream you have ever tasted. Believe me, you’re not going to want to just take my word for it. 102 / LUXESOURCE.COM

2 p.m. Get your home décor fix by visiting some of my favorite local homewares shops. I love Poketo, Hammer and Spear, Dream Collective, Yolk and Spitfire Girl. 3:30 p.m. If you need an afternoon boost, Alfred Coffee & Kitchen—right on the main drag in Silver Lake—has the most delicious coffee and provides lots of Instagram inspiration. 4 p.m. Time for a matinee. I love the Vista Theatre in Los Feliz; it’s a historic single-screen theater that opened in 1923. The space is amazing, and the popcorn couldn’t be more buttery. 5 p.m. Happy hour time! Swing by the bar at Cafe Stella for the best glass of wine in the most gorgeous space. 6 p.m. Post-drink shopping? Obviously. Mohawk General Store and LACAUSA are right across the street. Both are highly curated with an enviable designer selection; but hurry, because they close in an hour! They carry the world’s best muumuus. 7 p.m. Head downtown to dinner at Bestia, one of the hottest spots in Los Angeles right now and rightfully so. Its bone marrow will make you melt.

DATE BOOK PHOTOS: COURTESY CREATE & CULTIVATE.

9 a.m. Head to the 2.2-mile track surrounding the Silver Lake Reservoir for your morning workout. Swing by Moon Juice and try one of its cold-pressed juices or homemade nut milks on your way for a morning pick-me-up.

Located on a quintessentially European cobblestone street in the 13th Arrondissement, the hotel boasts ample boutique qualities and unexpected details. Here, we take our lead from the hotel’s private and public spaces— outfitted with plush, organic textiles and antique metalwork throughout—for a collection of items, like luxe linens from Cultiver in dreamy, subdued hues and a delicate brass bowl by Blackman Cruz, that capture the essence of cool thanks to a little je ne sais quoi.

PLAYA GRANDE BEACH CLUB: MARIA TRINIDAD SANCHEZ, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC 10

Inspired by local island life and traditional Dominican Colonial architecture, interior designer Celerie Kemble collaborated with historic preservationist Elric Endersby to create the idyllic retreat of Playa Grande Beach Club. A blend of vintage and contemporary elements, this tropical oasis showcases a palette of vibrant hues paired with neutral tones of raw, natural materials. In a style akin to the hotel’s breezy and native design, Sebastian Herkner’s poolside rocking chair for Dedon—made of a solid-teak frame—uses organic elements in a similar way, with laid-back sophistication in mind. So kick back, relax and style your own seasonal seaside hideaway.

PARADISE FOUND SALA AYUTTHAYA: AYUTTHAYA, THAILAND

Renowned for its opulent temples and lavish sacred spaces, Thailand takes great pride in its legendary history of architecture and design. Located directly across from the Wat Phutthai Sawan temple, built in 1353 A.D. by the first monarch of the area, Sala Ayutthaya was conceived with both its namesake’s long architectural past in mind and a focus on reinvented minimalist Thai design. Visionaries Siriyot Chaiamnuay and Arisara Chaktranon of architectural firm Onion embraced a purist palette and pale pops of serene colors—not unlike Cle Tile’s Vintage Rose accents and Louise Gray’s Quilt No. 3. shown here—and commissioned local talent to help construct the tranquil refuge in the heart of this storied city.

At first sight: Christophe Delcourt’s piece is inspired by nature but executed in a distinctly modern way. France is all about beauty and tradition: The country has a vast design history that creatives, especially in the culinary and furniture worlds, must honor and interpret. But above all… You can always count on a French designer to revel in beauty. A statement piece… Stands out on its own, has a story and evokes conversation. To me, this entire piece reads as a sculpture: The table represents a great balance of form and function. It’s hard to achieve that balance, but you don’t get there without taking a risk. Lasting impression: Angular, dynamic, artistic, structural, modern.

PALME D’OR

THE PIECE: Zer Coffee Table THE DESIGNER: Christophe Delcourt MADE IN: France FIND IT: avenue-road.com THE INSPIRATION: Using graphic zebrano wood veneer as his medium of choice, designer Christophe Delcourt employs sculptural form to successfully reimagine the art of marquetry—breathing new life into a classic technique.

MARKET / SPOTLIGHT

NATURAL SELECTION THE PIECE: Hauri Candleholders and Lava Trays and Candleholder THE DESIGNERS: Caterina Moretti and Ana Saldaña MADE IN: Mexico FIND IT: peca.com.mx THE INSPIRATION: The designers focused their creative lens on raw materials found in nature—think volcanic rock and black-and-white marble—when creating these objets d’art, proving that texture and form are true works of art unto themselves.

SARAH & SHERMAN SAMUEL

DESIGNER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR SARAHSHERMANSAMUEL.COM

At first sight: I’m struck by Peca’s clever and restrained use of natural materials. It’s such an artful mélange of brass, stone and marble. The juxtapositions within the composition… Are alluring and calming all at once; the soft textiles of the background beautifully foil the natural, hard materials used for the tray and candleholders. I’d love to see… The candleholders reimagined as a giant abacus. When scouting product for my clients… These are the types of pieces I like to introduce. It’s so important to be aware of the artisanal hand behind the designs you bring into someone’s home. Boundaries in design… Exist to be pushed: No risk, no reward. Lasting impression: Balanced, sculptural, geometric, artful, bold.

STRING THEORY THE PIECE: Husk Medium-High Chair THE DESIGNER: Marc Thorpe MADE IN: Italy FIND IT: moroso.it THE INSPIRATION: The contoured lines of these handwoven polyethylene yarns result in a playful seating dialogue sure to keep potential perchers charmed and intrigued.

WILL TAYLOR

INTERIORS BLOGGER & STYLIST BRIGHTBAZAARBLOG.COM

At first sight: Naturally, I love the riot of bold, carnival colors Marc Thorpe used with this piece, which feels perfectly timed for this year’s Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. And as a champion of color… I’m always encouraging my clients and readers to embrace hue in all forms, from soft shades to zingy brights. I’m drawn to Italian design… Because artists combine native craftsmanship with industrial processing techniques, manifesting in products that reflect inspirations across the world stage. A statement piece… Is that hero object that captures the eye and provides a resting point. Lasting impression: Proud, witty, fierce, bold, sexy.

MARKET / SPOTLIGHT

IN THE MIX THE PIECE: Full Moon Collection THE DESIGNER: Chaehoon Moon MADE IN: Korea FIND IT: damooncollection.com THE INSPIRATION: Product designer Chaehoon Moon is fearless when it comes to her material choices, assembling stunning handcrafted yuhgee tableware (borne from a combination of copper and tin) with a traditional ott-chil (textured Korean lacquer) finish. But it’s the pieces’ subtle collision of these tangibles that proves to be so unforgettable.

MAT SANDERS

INTERIOR DESIGNER CONSORT-DESIGN.COM

At first sight: Chaehoon Moon’s collection has a galactic elegance. To me, the pieces represent what’s next in design: total understated futurism. Korean design… As seen here, practices beautiful restraint and simplicity, which is much harder than it looks. Handmade is the truest luxury: Handcrafted using new materials and traditional inspiration, these pieces have a magnetic energy you can’t deny.

BALDWIN HARDWARE 2

“

Think about your design aesthetic and finishes—what kind of hardware you will need. Design around that.

”

It’s not as bold as one might think to compare fashion to decorative hardware. It enhances, adorns and beautifies while fulfilling utilitarian needs—and it is every bit subject to fads and design movements. Baldwin Hardware of Lake Forest, California, is a pioneer in the realm of hardware, crafting art-worthy, design-forward pieces that successfully defy trends. “We prefer to think of Baldwin as a fashion statement for the home: part of your design aesthetic,” says Baldwin Hardware Senior Brand Manager PJ Rosch. “Baldwin is couture for the door.” Celebrating its 70th year as an industry leader, Baldwin Hardware distinguishes itself from its contemporaries with an unwavering dedication to quality materials and design, not to mention seemingly infinite styles and finishes from which to choose. “We love creating inspirational design through the depth and breadth of our products and finishes,” Rosch says. Designers for the decorative hardware firm are embracing midcentury modern aesthetics and are also seeing a greater demand for black metals. “We are loving midcentury modern right now. It’s a great nod to the past, but with an updated style,” she says. “Also, black metals are all the rage now, but brass and warm, gold tones continue to gain popularity.”

1. Baldwin® Hardware’s newest additions to its best-selling Reserve portfolio are the La Jolla and Santa Cruz handlesets, Crystal knob and Contemporary knob. baldwinhardware.com 2. The Contemporary knob features a round shape contrasted with flat edges. The knob will pair nicely with products available in the Reserve collection. 3. The square full-escutcheon Santa Cruz handleset plays to a contemporary audience with a long profile.

INSIGHT, TIPS AND MORE FROM BALDWIN HARDWARE Style genre of note: Midcentury modern. Materials and finishes: Black metals, brass and warm, gold tones. A quick and chic kitchen update: New cabinet knobs and pulls are an easy, cost-effective way to refresh a kitchen. The new bathroom: Means having more living space. Chairs, flowers and a homey vibe are in—countertop clutter is out. Trends and you: Don’t worry about trends. Be sure to infuse your own personal style into your space and make it truly yours. A new era of opulence: 2016 is about luxury and options. People want well-crafted, timeless pieces that are high quality, complemented by artisanal pieces.

DACOR

Q+A WITH KITCHEN MARKETEERS CHUCK HUEBNER AND MICHAEL WEST OF DACOR

Founded in 1965, Dacor is a leading manufacturer of ultra-premium kitchen appliances. Designed and built in California, Dacor’s cooking appliances integrate function, technology and style to create intuitive products that reflect the lifestyle and needs of the passionate home chef. Dacor is also the first and only kitchen appliance brand to be tested and recommended by the master chefs of Le Cordon Bleu. Dacor manufactures a full suite of award-winning appliances, including ranges, cooktops, wall ovens, refrigeration, ventilation and wine preservation. Family-owned for more than 50 years, the company is responsible for many of the innovations that have improved the way people cook in the modern kitchen. Dacor created the 30-inch wall oven category, was the first to integrate an Android™powered tablet in ranges and ovens for the connected kitchen, and made the first continuous platform grates on cooktops, among other advances.

What are the top style and material trends for 2016? In kitchen appliances, stainless steel remains the most popular finish. Designers are gravitating toward color to offer their clients something different and fresh. Some are using color to solve problems, such as matching new appliances to established kitchen color schemes they want to keep. What should every well-designed kitchen have? Appliances placed to keep eye contact with your family or guests make for a better interactive experience. Placing a cooktop in the kitchen island with a motorized downdraft is a great way to not have your back to them, as is common with the conventional placement of ranges/cooktops against a wall. What new innovations should consumers keep an eye out for? Connected kitchen appliances that add freedom to your lifestyle, such as the capability to preheat your oven remotely using your phone, and text you when your food is ready.

“

Ergonomics play a large role in the design of a high-end kitchen, and it is highly suggested that most cabinetry pull out or come toward you instead of looking out of reach.

Equal parts form and function, Eggersmann’s cabinetry delivers beautiful and useful organizational solutions to the modern home dweller. The company, drawing from more than 100 years of innovation, trial and achievement, is a driving force behind the concealed kitchen—a design movement that gives way to gallery-like spaces in the kitchen, and the cabinetry is art. Using earthborn, organic materials such as raw wood and concrete, Eggersmann’s ultra sleek and clean-lined cabinetry reimagines modernity in a warm and inviting fashion. “We start with the most intrinsically raw materials available, including woods, metals and glass,” shares Eggersmann USA CEO Michael Soltoff. “With these materials used in various textures, colors and sheens, we constantly push the limits of the basic core components.” The Eggersmann design foundation is built on key Bauhaus architectural characteristics—flat, smooth surfaces, cubic shapes, neutral colors and open floor plans (fundamentally pure and resounding in utility)—and is distinguished by technological feats in cabinetry composition and ergonomics, such as its electric mechanisms, custom storage, handle integration and exotic veneers. “The wide availability of parts, components, hardware and materials across the world has caused a demand and push for incredible leaps and bounds in innovation of product,” Soltoff says. “As electronic technology becomes more compact and lightweight, we see an increase in automation in our products, and it has become more of an integrated component of lifestyle, rather than just a cabinet or case good.”

EGGERSMANN ESSENTIALS Tangible Intelligence: “Every kitchen requires functional storage space that not only is accessible, but is clever in function,” Soltoff says. “Examples include specialized pantry systems, specialty fitting dishwashers, inserts and utensil dividers.” Ubiquitous Materials, Reborn: Looking ahead, Eggersmann’s work will reveal innovative uses of organic materials, such as concretes and raw wood, as well as industrial finishes, such as stainless steel, copper, bronze and aluminum. Continuity Control: “It is important to have a specific style carried throughout the space,” Soltoff asserts. “Many kitchens are a part of and centered around the living space of the home. This doesn’t mean that the kitchen must match the style of furniture, interior trim and construction. Often, our kitchens are shown as a juxtaposition or unexpected center of the home.”

HUBBARDTON FORGE In the quest to discover fresh aesthetics and innovative designs in interior lighting, we turn to Hubbardton Forge for insight. One of the most respected brands in the lighting industry, Vermont-based Hubbardton Forge was founded upon the principles of authenticity and genuineness, giving way to handcrafted, art-worthy lighting. David Kitts, Hubbardton Forge’s Director of Design, reveals what’s in store for high-end light fixture design. “Industrial and steampunk styles are definitely on trend,” he says. “They intersect in interesting ways in their embrace of strong, imaginative design and application. Our Otto collection is a great example of that.” Kitts also notes the movement toward large statement pieces that are designed in a way where “the metal ‘glows’ through the use of LED light guide platforms and shaped elements.”

“

When beginning a project, remember your lighting is the first thing that guests will notice as they enter a room.

”

WORLD-CLASS EXPERTISE FROM HUBBARDTON FORGE Every well-designed kitchen should have: Layered lighting, such as multiple mini-pendants, a chandelier or wall sconces. Every well-designed bathroom should have: Color-accurate lighting. Materials + finishes of note: A new gloss-white finish; mixed metals; interesting glass elements used in surprising ways. LED driven: Hubbardton Forge has found ways to incorporate LED technology into the design, not just build LED fixtures. Advice for the homeowner: Think about the whole project; how one piece will interact with another. Don’t leave the lighting design for last.

1. The Louvre chose LED lighting for the Mona Lisa. The Glide LED bath bar offers a contemporary feel and is perfect for a large vanity space. 2. The brass and glass of the Otto sphere pendant combine to make a strong statement and focal point for the room. 3. The minimalistic Cuff pendant design, with its heavy steel cuff and thick blown glass captured within the cuff, works with a variety of styles.

PARIS CERAMICS

Q+A WITH RICHARD ABBOTT OF PARIS CERAMICS

Paris Ceramics blends time-honored materials and craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology to create rare products for floors, walls, ceilings, fireplaces and other objects of art. “We have a lot of new CAD machinery that enhances what you can do in terms of profiles patterns, etc.,” explains the firm’s manager Richard Abbott. “However, you still need to do finishing by hand to give the end result a bespoke quality.” Paris Ceramics has a special relationship with time, design and craftsmanship: No other company has invested in the technology and craftsmen to reclaim and preserve antique objects and flooring back to life. The juxtaposition of the world’s oldest objects preserved by the newest laser-cutting technology is the hallmark of Paris Ceramics. Only Paris Ceramics employs in-house artisans in the United States to ensure a near-flawless finish, size and product. As for new trends in the realm of flooring, Abbott cites traditional and new patterns, an increase in the use of various shades of blue and the rise of porcelain. “We try not to copy, but to be innovative,” Abbott says.

What is inspiring you now? New and traditional patterns and textures in stone and wood. How do you choose materials for each collection? We base selection on what we like, and it has to be timeless. Is it important to have a cohesive style throughout a kitchen or bathroom? Yes, but don’t forget the whimsical and fun. Describe the philosophy behind your firm. Paris Ceramics is the premier resource for timeless flooring material with soul.

1. Floor: hammered German silver. Shower: mother-of-pearl ceramic tile. Wall: breccia marble. 2. Antique Andalusian gray and white marble. 3. Floor: distressed French refined limestone. Wall: antique bottom-cut Bourgogne limestone.

ZEPHYR VENTILATION

“

The range hood has become the centerpiece of the kitchen and often sets the tone for the kitchen design.

”

The kitchen has evolved from a utilitarian workspace to a familial gathering and entertaining central core of a home. The focal point of many of today’s most elegant and cutting-edge kitchens is the range hood, which was also born from a purely functional perspective. Zephyr Ventilation, based in Alameda, California, is changing this paradigm by blending high-caliber utility with high-quality aesthetics. “We have elevated the hood to its rightful place, with a focus on design, innovation and technology,” shares the company’s president Luke Siow. “Since the launch of our first hoods in 1997, we have remained true to our vision of delivering the unexpected: by deliberately seeking to change the marketplace.” The sophisticated hoods reveal remarkable technological feats within the kitchen, such as its DCBL Suppression System®, the industry’s first range hood motor powered by direct current (DC) energy (an evolutionary step from the traditional AC-powered range hood) and the newly unveiled Lucé with ICON Touch® controls, which integrate into the hood’s stainless steel canopy and control the hood’s LED lights in cloud white, deep blue and amber colors.

1. Lucé Island features industry-first, fully integrated touch controls, three-color accent lighting and a modern aesthetic. 2. Wave is a vertical-style hood with Dual Capture Zones to improve capture performance and ensure a well-ventilated kitchen. 3. Lux Island features an integrated design that discreetly mounts into the ceiling above the island cooktop. 1

Q+A WITH LUKE SIOW, PRESIDENT OF ZEPHYR VENTILATION What are the top style and material trends for 2016? We are seeing a trend toward mixed materials in kitchen ventilation that incorporate ceramic, mixed metallics and glass. Colored and LED lighting are also trends we are noticing in ventilation as well as other kitchen appliances. What new innovations should consumers keep an eye out for? The Wave hood features Dual Capture Zones that collect contaminates through two points to ensure a smokeand debris-free kitchen. Lux Island features an integrated design that discreetly mounts into the ceiling and Perimeter Aspiration, a technique that moves airflow away from the central area of the hood and evenly distributes it through narrow openings around the perimeter of the hood. Is it important to have a cohesive style throughout a kitchen? A kitchen can have a cohesive style while still communicating the homeowner’s personality and individuality. We’re seeing a lot more color, pattern and customized appliances in the kitchen that truly reflect the style of the homeowner.

AS K T HE EXPE RT How do you define luxury? Luxury is a sense of harmony. A connection to the sensory aspects of nature. Stepping into a garden offers a reset from a busy life. That’s luxury.

Christine London Principal Beverly Hills, California 310.273.5660 studio@christinelondonltd.com christinelondonltd.com

CHRISTINE LONDON LTD. Profoundly influenced by her love of the English countryside, a childhood spent tinkering in her industrial designer father’s studio and an inherent affection for gardens, Christine London created an authentic, visionary landscape design practice with the integrity and passion to deliver extraordinary outdoor spaces. Her gardens are markedly tailored yet teem with life and above all, are livable. London, in conjunction with her 10-person Beverly Hills-based firm, provides bespoke, site-specific architectural landscape and garden design. “Our approach is highly collaborative. We encourage our team to have a personal involvement in all of the projects, providing custom landscape design and excellence in detail,” she says. “We begin with an understanding of the client, the architecture and the horticultural parameters of the land. We then create an open dialogue between all of these components and find a harmonious balance.” Citing influences such as legendary British landscape architect and designer Russell Page, London’s work is inspired by the past but reconceived from a contemporary perspective. “We work to bring a seamless aesthetic to each property, creating context for the architecture and interior that becomes more than the sum of its parts,” she says. London’s bicoastal projects range from Southern to Northern California to New York and beyond. “I spend time in each space to absorb the qualities of the land, the climate, the culture and the architecture,” she says.

TOP: A beautiful wisteria arbor complements this private courtyard. BOTTOM: To preserve this pine, a perforated metal tray with a surface of gravel was created, permeable for the tree to get air circulation and room for the trunk to expand and move.

What is inspiring you now? Mother Nature is always inspiring me. Forever in flux, adapting as she goes, but always a perfect expression of calm, beauty and peace. What do you regard as the greatest success in your career to date? I have been lucky enough to have, as clients, people who are highly creative in other fields. Knowing that we can provide a cultural aesthetic to a very discerning client base is a joy.

FROM SOPHISTICATED STAYS TO ZEN-LIKE RETREATS, HOTELS AND RESORTS HAVE MASTERED THE ART OF MOOD-SETTING STYLE AND RISK-TAKING DESIGN IN THE KITCHEN AND BATH. WRITTEN BY MARISA SPYKER

152 / LUXESOURCE.COM

When it comes right down to it, designers often have one overarching mission: to make the home feel like a perpetual retreat. The two most-frequented rooms in the home are no exception. Baths often transform into visions of spa-like bliss and kitchens become clean, open-plan breaths of fresh air. So, when seeking aesthetic inspiration, it’s only natural to turn to the very experts of escapist style: the hospitality industry. From modernist urban highrises to secluded South American estancias, the world’s most beautiful hotels and resorts have mastered the art of maximizing views, inspiring relaxation and pushing the boundaries of great design (a room bathed almost entirely in sleek, glossy wood, for example). Here, we celebrate five-star style in all its glory, alongside products that make vacation-like living a breeze to adopt at home.

Glossy ceramic stools from Rosenthal mirror the smooth surfaces of the vanity top and tub. WHY WE LOVE IT: Leave it to Urquiola to strike just the right balance of serene and sophisticated.

DESIGN FEATURES OF NOTE: The brainchild of Singapore-based architect Kerry Hill, this spacious suite bathroom is composed almost entirely of traditional Japanese Kakou Gan granite, allowing the pièce de résistance—a deep Japanese furo soaking tub—to take center stage. WHY WE LOVE IT: High above the urban bustle, the bathroom’s monochromatic gray stone décor evokes an air of simplicity that’s symbolic of Japanese culture. The space also allows the spectacular views of Tokyo and, on clear days, Mt. Fuji, to shine through floor-to-ceiling windows. aman.com

JOSE IGNACIO, URUGUAY DESIGN FEATURES OF NOTE: When renowned Norwegian art collectors and hoteliers Alex and Carrie Vik sought to create a 12-suite luxury boutique hotel in the middle of Uruguayan farmland, their mission was to make as little of an environmental impact as possible (think solar panels, wind and geothermal energy, a water-recycling system). The bath in the artist-designed master suite is no exception: The entire room, including the walls, door, sink and tub, is enveloped in richly veined wood locally sourced from jacaranda trees. WHY WE LOVE IT: The dark wood-clad bath pays homage to the retreat’s sprawling 4,000 acres of countryside, but sleek details like the sculptural lines of the tub, minimalist steel fixtures and recessed lighting give the space a decidedly modern feel. vikretreats.com 154 / LUXESOURCE.COM

JEFFREY WILKES Resort whisperer Jeffrey Wilkes is the creative mind behind some of the most Zen-inspiring retreats in South Asia and beyond. At the Ritz-Carlton Mandapa in Ubud, Bali, he channels the lush outdoors with rustic materials and a natural palette. designwilkes.com 156 / LUXESOURCE.COM

What was your design inspiration for this space? When we created the bathrooms for the rooms and suites at Mandapa, it was our desire to have them act as extensions of the rooms. It’s a resort, and the experience of the bath, and the relaxation one feels from the experience, is paramount. It was important to create a space where someone would take the time to linger and enjoy a soak in the tub while looking out at the view.

Tell us about the mélange of materials. Touch is always a very important aspect of a room, along with the visual component. Here, patterned fretwork, weathered timbers and leather-finished marble stone all work in combination to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Woven ceiling panels are reminiscent of local Alang-alang (thatched) roofs. We also commissioned vanity sinks carved from teak wood with small decorative patterns around them.

How is the natural environment reflected? The earthy palette of chocolate brown, gold and bronze that we introduced to these spaces is taken in large part from the landscape and rivers that surround the property. We hung a pair of round mirrors over the vanity and flanked them with uneven water drop glass lights. It helps create the illusion that you’ve just set up camp in the forest, like you’re part of the evolving landscape.

THE CHALLENGE: Transform a heavy, traditional Laguna Beach home into a majestic modern masterpiece to match the clients’ light, youthful spirit. “They’re energetic, vivacious people, and the interiors did not reflect that,” confides designer Chad Eisner. “They wanted kids, neighbors and family members to be able to come over, walk in with sand on their feet, and not feel as if they are going to wrinkle the brand-new linen sofa.” THE WORK: Eisner removed all the color from the walls and worked with the homeowners to get just the right white for the weathered finish. “Within a week’s time of getting that color, it was like night and day,” notes Eisner. “Suddenly things were light and open.” For the furnishings, Eisner combined a host of new finds with some old favorites, but swapped out heavy light fixtures. Case in point: In the dining room, a carved antique Italian chandelier hangs over a rustic wood table and benches, which offset the formality of the Exquisite Surfaces limestone floor and fireplace. THE RESULT: Recast over time, the house now authentically reflects its residents. “We worked slowly on this project, building the collection of furnishings as we needed them,” says Eisner. “This was a gradual process of layering elements to create a new approach to the house that spoke to and from the homeowners.” 1 6 2 / L U X E SI O N TUERRCI EO.

THE CHALLENGE: Create a three-story Cape Cod-style house for a family in Manhattan Beach that loves to entertain. “They have fun personalities,” says builder Matt Morris. “We wanted to give the house a more glammed-out feel that’s still comfortable.” THE WORK: The open flow of spaces proved key to creating a chic plan conducive to both cocktail and dinner parties. “We love that everything is completely open, on one easy floor, since I spend 99 percent of my time in the kitchen,” says the wife, who came to the table with specific ideas. “She wanted to keep a lot of the upholstery white,” recalls

designer Joe Lucas. “We said, ‘What are you thinking?’ But we found great outdoor fabrics that would work.” THE RESULT: The kitchen’s inviting breakfast area, designed by Lucas and his partner Parrish Chilcoat, exudes the same classic aesthetic that is repeated throughout the house and rings true with the family. A generous banquette and Bungalow 5’s Oslo chairs, with cushions made from a China Seas fabric, provide ample seating around the custom marble-topped table. “It’s the perfect house for us,” the wife says, “and everyone who walks in mentions how happy it feels.”

THE CHALLENGE: A couple raised on the East Coast seek a colorful, California-chic, midcentury style for their gracious Brentwood home. “We wanted our house to be both a peaceful refuge and a welcoming, cheerful place that personifies West Coast living,” says the owner. “Every space should be inviting.” THE WORK: Designer Meg Joannides used a palette of light neutrals punctuated with patterns to play up the home’s sense of openness. “It was critical that we didn’t hinder that feeling with dark fabrics,” she explains. She also selected furnishings with strong profiles

but kept the embellishments to a minimum. “Everything has a fresh and clean, but still luxurious, feel to it.” THE RESULT: This table for two—the perfect spot for a light bite—strikes the couple’s ideal for evoking warmth in every room. Dressed with a bright coral-pink fabric, Saarinen chairs pull up to a marble-topped Saarinen table, both by Knoll and purchased from Jules Seltzer Associates. “It makes a cohesive statement,” says Joannides. “All of the rooms are inviting, and none of them give the impression that you aren’t welcome to come in, relax and enjoy.”

Read below, as she fashions what her pitch-perfect itinerary looks like for a fun-filled day in the Yucatán. laurakirar.com 9 a.m. I always try to start the day with yoga and a swim at home. I’m still in the process of restoring my 18th-century hacienda, so I love to spend as much time there as possible. 10 a.m. Next up is breakfast: There are always tortillas made by hand, fresh-squeezed mango juice, huevos revueltos and avocados picked from the tree in my own yard.

11 a.m. There really isn’t a “shopping district” in Mérida, but the Mercado Principal in the center of town has a little bit of everything—from food to shoes to vintage jewelry. There’s also great shopping around the Parque de Santiago in Centro, where you can find contemporary, artisan-made sandals, hats and accessories at places like Kukul. 1 p.m. The lunch at Hacienda Temozon is fantastic; I always order the guacamole con chapulines, sopa de limon, carnitas and a tequila with sangrita. If it’s Sunday, we go to brunch at Hacienda Ochil. The hacienda is picturesque and also has its own James Turrell installation. 3 p.m. Next, I make my rounds: I visit FonArt shop for the best in embroidery, pottery, and table and bed linens, Coqui Coqui for natural mosquito repellent and room scents, and the Alfaro Galeria de Arte y Antigüedades in the Centro; though, the term “antiques” should be taken lightly—it has a really eclectic collection. 5 p.m. Then, it’s another late afternoon dip in one of the many surrounding cenotes, pools that form naturally when a limestone bedrock collapses. I love the Cenote Kankirixche; it’s breathtakingly beautiful.

Counterclockwise from top: Designer Laura Kirar wandering through her favorite outdoor market, taking a dip in the Cenote Kankirixche, and starting the night with friends and La Negrita’s famous mescal.

“The quality of light in Mérida inspired me to start painting again. They sometimes call it the ‘White City,’ but its skies are very blue. And, while it doesn’t have mountains, the clouds are so white and full that they almost feel like unscalable peaks in their own right. It’s a big, big world, but I’m treating this little corner of it as my very own cabinet of curiosities.” downtown20.net

This year’s first-annual Caravana Americana, which took place in March, made a big splash in Mexico City thanks to its stunning array of art, fashion and housewares from all across Latin America. From the creative minds of Regina Barrios and Alessandro Cerutti, the pair behind the cult-favorite boutique Lago DF, Caravana Americana seeks to pair Mexican makers—like 1050 Grados, Ricardo Casas and CyTF, whose handsome marquetry work is shown here— with international buyers for a weekend of contemporary design bliss that we can’t wait to mark and set on our calendars for next year. caravanaamericana.com

The former executive director of one of the newest additions to the Yucatán arts scene, Fundación de Artistas, Indira Londono (right) reflects on the region’s growing creative community and gives collectors the inside scoop on where to go and who to watch when building their portfolios. fundaciondeartistas.org

Top Mexican artists to watch: Mérida has many talented local artists, but I’m mostly interested in artists who redefine the idea of art and utilize it as a vector to create a dialogue about relevant social issues. Some of my favorites are Alexa Torre, Marcela Diaz, Stefania Rivadeneyra, Karla Madera and Uggo Gonzalez.

What makes Mexican art different? It’s difficult to categorize and compare artwork from Mexico versus the U.S. because there are many factors that influence artists even within regions of the same country—for example, the art in the Yucatán will be very different than in areas like Oaxaca and Mexico City. Here, art specifically draws influences from many factors such as its region’s Mayan ancestry, Spanish occupation and the Caribbean climate.

Must-visit art fairs or festivals for American collectors: My favorites are Noche Blanca—an event sponsored by the city of Mérida in conjunction with artists, galleries, museums and public spaces for a finely curated tour of what the community here has to offer—and the National Biennial of Visual Arts of Yucatán—which features a wide range of Mexican art, including paintings, sculptures, photography, video-art and installations.

FIRST PERSON

MARTYN LAWRENCE BULLARD London to me is not only my original home and teenage stomping ground, it is a main artery for my decorative inspirations and design shopping. These days, I like to start my trip by booking into one of the splendid new design hotels that have sprung up across the country. My current hot spot is the super luxurious Beaumont hotel in London’s W1; it makes you feel like you’re in The Great Gatsby, but you’re not, you’re on a shopping trip with me; so, here’s what comes next: 8:30 a.m. There’s no better place to start your day than in The Colony Grill Room at Selfridges with a full English breakfast and lashings of Earl Grey tea all silver-served with the finest attention to detail. 10 a.m. Head over to Alfies Antique Market with dealers that sell everything from vintage-leather and vellum travel trunks (ask for Leslie Warander at The Tintin Shop to show you his secret stash hidden upstairs) to 1970s and ’80s Italian furniture and lighting. 11:30 a.m. From there, go to King’s Road in Chelsea. With luck, you’ll get to catch a viewing of the latest sale at Lots Road Auctions, a veritable bargainhunters local auction held weekly. My favorite antiques store in London, Guinevere, is just around the corner and is a real treat for the eyes.

12:30 p.m. After antiquing, a spot of lunch is required. I head to the Wolseley—by Piccadilly Circus—a European restaurant designed by my friend, the late and great David Collins. It’s highly stylized with black-and-white marble floors, bronze chandeliers and chinoiserie-lacquered panels. 2 p.m. A little après stroll down Piccadilly will bring you to Fortnum & Mason, the luxury food and lifestyle store that happens to make my very favorite tea, Imperial Earl Grey. After stocking up on that, I head to Jermyn Street to visit my tailor: Ozwald Boateng makes the most fun suiting. 3 p.m. No day in London is complete without art. The S2 Gallery, run by Fru Tholstrup, belongs to Sotheby’s and houses exhibits by rising art stars like Charming Baker, along with group shows, like the recent exhibit curated by Tommy Hilfiger and Jeffrey Deitch. As a photo enthusiast, I also head over to the Hamilton Gallery in Mayfair. 5 p.m. London is known for its quality upholstery and fabric houses, but for me, visiting the tiny trim shop VV Rouleaux is a necessity. This jewelbox store offers amazing trims, tassels, beads, feathers and other theatrical decorating tools. 7 p.m. The perfect day in London ends with my favorite eatery, The Ivy. Favored by London’s theater crowd, its recently remodeled interiors are cozy and glamorous. martynlawrencebullard.com

English homes, especially the wonderful country houses, have a very identifiable voice; they’re about putting various things together in a way that’s both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.

Known for his wild color palettes and playful style, Jonathan Adler doesn’t mind buttoning it up every once in a while with a dose of classic British design. Here are his top-five spots to visit in London. jonathanadler.com 1. My shops! I have one on Sloane Avenue and one on Westbourne Grove. They’re great fun (as evidenced by Adler’s Zebra British flag rug shown at right), and I’d love them even if they weren’t mine. 2. Liberty of London is a must. The building is sublime, with the most gorgeous Gothic architecture and patina. 3. It’s not a trip without a visit to Harrods. You can get literally anything there. 4. I love Alfie’s Antique Market—a —a building full of little shops and surrounding streets with shops. It’s packed with heavenly finds. I spend almost an entire day there whenever I’m in London. 5. The Conran Shop is another favorite. I love going to the flagship location in Chelsea. They always have something new and outside the box.

practicality when it comes to design. It sees very formal and important pieces feeling at home with more approachable and humanistic things: a mastery of the mix. Favorite British designers past and present: The classic example, of course, is the design firm of Colefax and Fowler; their work has been a not-so-secret source of inspiration in a lot of really good English houses. Beyond them, I love the modernity and color of the legendary David Hicks and the historical elegance of Robert Kime. Is there a historic English house you’d particularly love to design? I’d be truly thrilled to outfit places like Haddon Hall or Chiswick House—estates that have really beautiful architecture and are just extraordinary with a kind of eccentric appeal. There’s something challenging and exciting about creating personality in a home that already has so much of its own.

Los Angeles-based interiors and product designer Jill Sorensen may have left her Swedish upbringing behind in terms of miles traveled, but she continues to embrace the country’s sophistication and simplicity in her fun and quirky home projects all over the U.S. Here, she sits down with Luxe to give us a Swedish design history lesson. jillsorensen.com Favorite Swedish designers past and present: I’m a fan of King Gustav III. He was a Swedish king in the late 1700s who was obsessed with design, and during his reign, he created the style of furniture that’s the most famous in the country today: Gustavian. I also love Josef Frank, who designed the amazing Swedish Tenn fabrics that are like pieces of art. What do you love most about Swedish design? I love all things Gustavian, which is

basically a simplified country version of Louis XVI style: the distressed furniture, whitepainted floors, etc. Because of the lack of sunlight (only four hours or so a day in the winter time), Swedes are experts at adding brightness to their interiors with pastel walls and white interiors. Best shops to visit in Stockholm: You’ll find the most incredible fabrics imaginable at the beautiful Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm; it was originally founded in 1924, and it never fails to impress. I’m also always surprised at the things I find at Bukowskis auction house. It has incredible antiques up for grabs and is surprisingly affordable. Otherwise, blocket.se is also one of my favorite little secrets: It’s a resale site that is very popular in Sweden. You can find amazing things for next to nothing in your local area!

I have a vacation home in a small village there with great history: As little as 50 years ago, the town telephonist lived downstairs.

We were invited to speak at the Monocle Quality of Life conference and took the chance to go to a place we’d been dreaming and planning on going to anyway. And we weren’t disappointed thanks to the classic buildings, wonderful design heritage, and great things going on culturally and entrepreneurially. Augarten Porcelain Factory Wow! This factory (above) is such a far cry from ours in California. We love that the owners of the company appreciated their staff so much that they created this beautiful place for them to work. We think the same way: that great work comes from great work environments. We just have a different style!

Part of researching tile for the promotion of our latest book, Tile Makes the Room: Good Design from Heath Ceramics, this trip grew out of our fascination with places like Portugal, with cities and regions with layers of history that’s been preserved and respected. National Tile Museum There’s such a rich heritage of handcrafted tile in this country that they opened a museum dedicated to it (above) and set it in a former convent that dates back to 1509. The reverence for tile, a material that we so often overlook, filled us with awe. Palácio Ramalhete This hotel (shown at right) was an oasis of calm. There was gorgeous tile wainscoting everywhere, which was our favorite touch. We love hotels like this: intimate places (this one only has 12 rooms) with deep history.

Tage Andersen’s home (above), far from any major town, is an amazing work of art—and a working farm. The villa and gardens were created by Andersen, himself, a maverick florist and artist. It was designed almost as an art installation, but, again, with a farm, so it’s pleasing aesthetically but not at all precious. These trees were something that Andersen must have envisioned as many as 20 years ago; it’s taken that long to become what they are. heathceramics.com

CHANNELING THE STYLISH VIBE OF A BOUTIQUE HOTEL, A PALM SPRINGS HOME BECOMES A CHIC RETREAT FOR A CANADIAN COUPLE. WRITTEN BY ALEXANDRA DROSU / PHOTOGRAPHY BY DOMINIQUE VORILLON

INTERIOR DESIGN / JAMES MCINTYRE, MCINTYRE BILLS CORPORATION INTERIOR DESIGN CONSULTANTS HOME BUILDER / RICK DEAL, OLD FASHION CRAFTSMAN, INC.

andace called me and said, ‘You’re not going to believe it, but we’re looking at a Spanish Revival home,’” recounts Calgarybased designer James McIntyre. His clients, Candace Ross and Bruce McDonald, had been on the hunt for a vacation home in Palm Springs, envisioning a midcentury modern gem reflective of the area’s distinctive style. Instead, to their surprise, “We changed our outlook—the house we found spoke to us right away,” says Candace of the 3,725-square-foot home with Spanish Colonial detailing. Within a day of seeing it, they purchased it, and despite the change in plans, McIntyre was pleased to have a broader canvas to work with instead of showcasing a strict modernist interpretation. The house itself had great bones, and the setting was idyllic, nestled in the lower San Jacinto Mountains with breathtaking views of the valley below. The only problem: It was stuck in the 1980s with shag carpet, pinch-pleated draperies and walls painted incongruous colors. Before McIntyre started on the project, the couple took him for drinks at the Colony Palms, a local boutique hotel, on a design field trip. The couple wanted to capture a similar ambience as the hotel in their new digs, creating a place that would serve as a cozy, luxurious escape while still reflecting their own personalities through meaningful pieces from their travels abroad and their eclectic collection of art. “We wanted the vibe of the hotel to come through in the design,” says McIntyre. “I didn’t want their home to feel too precious. It’s that California lifestyle that everyone loves—trying to strike the balance between elegant and easy living.” The homeowners wanted to incorporate a contemporary Moorish feel while also paying subtle tribute to midcentury modern décor. But first, contractor Rick Deal—who has since retired—undertook the renovations “that were quite extensive,” he reports. “We did a total remodel of the master bedroom and bathroom: hardwood floors, millwork, new doors, new iron railings and gates. We even created archways in the great room and did some fantastic custom tile work in the powder room.” Then, McIntyre effortlessly balanced the Moorish and midcentury elements by anchoring the house in earthy tones, natural materials and timeless furnishings. As the backdrop, white plaster walls ground the dark hardwood flooring. “The high contrast is a nice setting for whatever collection you put in the home,” says the designer.

184 / LUXESOURCE.COM

For the furnishings, Candace and McIntyre looked locally, taking two trips together to Los Angeles in search of signature pieces for the home. “Candace and I like to shop for furniture as much as we like to drink wine,” jokes McIntyre. “We went to a Moroccan wholesaler and to the Pacific Design Center. We really wanted to have special pieces.” The fruits of their hunt include pieces from Ebanista, Gregorius Pineo and Espasso. In the living room, a custommade Kyle Bunting cowhide rug in brown and cream hues serves as a focal point. The sofas are upholstered in fine linen, and the pillows subtly repeat the pattern of the rug, while a leather-clad Sergio Rodrigues chair playfully alludes to the area’s modernist heritage. “I love a neutral, serene look that mixes different textures,” says McIntyre of the similar style preference he shares with Candace. “I also love the contradiction of burlap against velvet.” The boutique bungalow style extends to other spaces in the house, as well. For example, the petite yet functional kitchen with a patterned-tile backsplash and the jewel-box powder room tiled from wall to wall in a Moorish arabesque pattern are both rendered in neutrals. “We have so much color surrounding us, including palm trees and desert blooms,” says Candace. “I wanted to walk into the house and feel a sense of serenity and warmth.” Antique Turkish rugs from the homeowners’ travels punctuate the spaces with pops of red, one of the few brightly colored elements. McIntyre avoided the “traditional master suite” by eliminating the boundaries between the bed and bathroom, allowing the bathtub to become a part of the main room and channeling the feel of a romantic hotel getaway. The architectural aspect of the four-poster bed creates its own space within the context of the room. Working with Deal, the designer also transformed a walk-in closet into a small foyer, while floor-to-ceiling custom built-ins now serve storage purposes. “As a designer, you have to guide the project and make it look fabulous, but it also really needs to appear as an expression of your client’s taste,” says McIntyre. It’s this intentionally organic design that allows the couple to continue personalizing the house, be it with a pair of Moroccan poufs that Candace picked up or a new piece of art. “We didn’t go out and buy artwork immediately,” notes Candace. Instead, she and Bruce slowly amassed a collection of eclectic signature pieces, including two nude portraits by Los Angeles-based photographer Ben Cope, a pair of Pablo Picasso works and a contemporary piece by Judith Kindler. “We don’t just buy art to fill a space,” says Candace. “Art is something that my husband and I are extremely passionate about. It brings us a lot of joy.” Client and designer alike emerged from the process delighted. “James made the project absolutely effortless and fun,” says Candace. “He is so talented and has incredible vision.” McIntyre echoes her sentiment: “We all had a common vision that we pulled together so nicely. I loved their style and taste. The house was a diamond in the rough waiting to be polished. And we polished it!”

A vintage rug in the entry to Bruce McDonald and Candace Ross’ Palm Springs getaway sets the stage for the lively mix of furnishings that designer James McIntyre employed for the home’s interiors. Included in the eclectic assortment are a bench with a sculptural back from Formations and a director’s chair from Christopher Anthony Ltd.

Incorporating old and new, the sitting room features a painting by Claude Lacaze from Galerie Michael and a contemporary black-and-white Ben Cope photograph. Jean de Merry leather chairs and a pair of Moroccan ottomans, discovered by the owners on a recent trip abroad, surround the RH trunk. The Old Spanish-feeling armoire is from Ebanista.

Smarts INSIDE THEIR JOYFUL HOME STUDIO, A PAIR OF LOS ANGELES ARTISTS TAKE THE PRACTICE OF SURFACE DESIGN TO ANOTHER DIMENSION.

WRITTEN BY YELENA MOROZ ALPERT / PHOTOGRAPHY BY AMY DICKERSON

Donohoe (left, at right) and Gelbard (kneeling with their dog, Pickles, a Hurricane Katrina rescue) work out of a studio filled with the tools of their trade (opposite). Legendary art director Cedric Gibbons inspired the design for a headboard (below), which features 12-karat whitegold leaf and black gloss.

n any given day, Lisa Donohoe and Brynn Gelbard’s dogs might be walking around with gilded noses. Such is the potential fate of anyone who stays with the artists behind Londubh Studio, a Los Angeles creative practice with a focus on surface design. “Our home sometimes looks like an ABBA video, which is not necessarily a bad thing,” says Donohoe. Their work space is filled with dozens of surface samples—plaster, textured panels and tiles, as well as the metal leaf, metallic paints, precious gem dust and crystals that make up the tools of their trade—and, more often than not, work spills out into the dining room. “If we’re painting, it’s all over the place,” says Gelbard. “All the dining room chairs will have stencils stacked on them.” Jokes Donohoe, “We must have been magpies in our previous lives.” The studio is as much a site for inspiration as it is a lab for experimenting with how traditional materials, including Venetian plaster and metal leaf, can be used in contemporary projects. Donohoe, who has a background in interior design and art history, can spend days working out application kinks to avoid any potential pitfalls on site. Gelbard, on the other hand, learned her skills on the job but has a background in film, writing and social activism, which often sparks ideas of sheer possibility. “Our visions gracefully build upon one another,” says Gelbard. “We kind of dare each other to be something exponentially greater than our individual voices.” Since launching their company in 2011, Donohoe and Gelbard have discovered that clients are willing to take risks—and this optimism gives their work incredible purpose. Take floor design, for instance. “It’s cool to see LUXESOURCE.COM / 199

that people are viewing this surface as another space to express themselves,” says Gelbard. One of their first floor projects was done for a loft complex: three 14-by-18-foot stenciled rugs on concrete, using a semitransparent material to give it the illusion of nostalgic permanence. “It seems as though our clients are more willing to push the boundaries with color and pattern on their floors than on their walls,” says Donohoe. “They see a painted rug as an art piece.” The duo have since tackled ever-more complex work, including a 40-by-8-foot paintedconcrete rug inspired by Antoni Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia. It required meticulously transferring pattern upon pattern, as if the surface was a layered puzzle, mixing custom colors to match the surrounding fauna and inserting personal touches such as astrological signs and symbols to represent the client’s family. “That project was the biggest gift because it allowed us to view ourselves as true artists rather than simply decorative finishers,” says Gelbard. Donohoe and Gelbard have a “we want to see what we can do” mentality that drives the creative spectrum of their portfolio. “It really comes down to people who are super excited about doing new things,” says Gelbard. Their shared love of collaboration extends to partnerships with fellow artists, designers and craftspeople. One such collaboration is with 21-year-old street artist Gustavo Fuentes, also known as Flëkz, whose chosen medium is tape, which he uses to create geometric designs. They met almost two years ago and have since finished a myriad of projects—Art Deco-inspired wall art, a prism-like painted patio rug, and a mod diving board design. “We are artists and extractionists,” says Donohoe. “Designers have an idea and a vision, and we basically extract that information and filter it through our creative process to create something where everyone’s voice is present.”

Interior designer Kari Arendsen chose reclaimed beams from Vintage Timberworks for the living area of Brett and Christie Combs’ Solana Beach home. Around an RH coffee table, Ralph Lauren Home armchairs, a sofa in Perennials fabric and Noir armchairs with cushions in a Schumacher linen make for stylish seating. Urban Archaeology sconces flank the fireplace. The jute carpet is by Fibreworks.

rett and Christie Combs’ wish list for their dream home—where they could raise their three young sons near family and longtime friends—was specific down to the house itself, a Solana Beach abode they had spotted years before it became available. The Combs, who are in the real estate business and had seen their fair share of homes, had set their sights on the 1987 bungalow with high ceilings— a rarity in the area—and unobstructed views of the Pacific. The couple liked it so much that when they heard the owner was finally ready to sell, they abandoned work on another project and immediately purchased it. “It was like finding an old classic car that needed to be rehabbed,” says Brett. “It had the potential to become something great.” To create an open, airy environment where no room was off-limits to their boys, the couple turned to interior designer Kari Arendsen and architect Jim Sneed—whose firm, Bokal & Sneed Architects, is the successor to Bokal Kelley-Markham Architects, the original architect for the house. Having the drawings from that project “was a huge help,” Sneed says. “We had all the structural, foundation and framing plans, so we knew where the beams were. It took a lot of guesswork out of the equation.” Arendsen worked closely with Sneed to transform the choppy main level into one open space, remove slanted dropped ceilings to restore the original 12-foot heights, and create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. When it came to the interiors, Arendsen worked with design director Jennifer Bibay to achieve a multifaceted style. “The owners wanted an aesthetic that was a mix of modern farmhouse, clean coastal and tropical plantation— literally all of those things combined,” says Arendsen. Adds Brett, “Both coastal and farmhouse styles have been done plenty of times, but I haven’t seen the plantation style in this area. Much of the inspiration came from trips to Kauai and Fiji. That lifestyle is how we envisioned the way we wanted to live.” To evoke the plantation look, Arendsen used a dark stain on the home’s wide eaves, a shade that’s repeated along the mahogany countertops off the breakfast nook and on all the windows and door trims. “It’s something subtle—you don’t really notice it at first, but your eye catches it,” she says. Those warm wood accents juxtapose with the concrete floors throughout the main level, a pleasing tension between traditional and modern.

Contractor Travis McCaw oversaw the installation of the shiplap paneling that runs throughout the home. The dining area’s antique sideboard is from C’est La Vie and is topped with a pair of lamps Arendsen found while antiquing. The artwork above is from the owners’ existing collection.

Other elements play up the same contrast, such as the 9-by-16-foot sliding wall panel in the kitchen that faces a bank of paned windows, which are original to the house. “It’s traditional and modern directly playing opposite each other,” Arendsen says. “That effect gave me chills.” Arendsen sought to differentiate the main-level spaces once the walls were removed, so the mood changes slightly in the kitchen, dining and living areas. She chose an antique sideboard and rustic farmhouse table for the dining area as a way to embrace a traditional feeling in the space where the Combses’ family members and friends gather for meals. “For them, it was incorporating what they hold precious,” says Arendsen. For the living area, the designer opted for cleaner lines and made a statement through texture. There, the rich feel of the beaten-leather armchairs and a jute rug answer the smooth, crisp surfaces of the white shiplap paneling on the walls and ceiling, which general contractor Travis McCaw milled himself to give a deeper groove. “All that tongue-andgroove paneling was smooth with no knots,” he says.

In the dining area, Arendsen mixed a minimalist-feeling Shades of Light chandelier with a custom French farm table by Juxtaposition Home, Sika-Design dining chairs and a Pampa carpet. Serena & Lily stools pull up to the indoor-outdoor bar in the living area beyond.

Weiland doors open up to a breezeway adjacent to the kitchen. The space’s sleek surfaces—Calacatta Crema marble on the island countertop from Tutto Marmo and poured-concrete flooring by Surface Designs—merge beautifully with Arteriors pendants and RH bar chairs. Inset into the island is a Galassia sink with a Waterstone faucet, both from European Bath, Kitchen, Tile & Stone. The range is by Wolf.

MTI sinks are outfitted with Newport Brass faucets, all from European Bath, Kitchen, Tile & Stone. Opposite: On the walls, marble slabs from Tutto Marmo serve as a serene backdrop for the master bathroom. A freestanding Cheviot Products tub looks out to the sea. The Newport Brass plumbing fixtures are from European Bath, Kitchen, Tile & Stone, as is the herringbonepatterned marble flooring.

The effect of that paneling is especially dramatic in the master suite, where the walls soar up to the roof lines. “It’s a smooth play on lines that doesn’t feel overwhelming or dizzy,” Arendsen says. “That’s probably one of my favorite spaces.” The vaulted ceilings amplify the ocean views through plate-glass windows that respond to the height and slope of the walls. Downstairs, the outside flows inside quite literally: A three-panel lift-and-slide glass door opens the living room to a west-facing balcony that runs the width of the house, while the kitchen becomes one with the breezeway through a 16-foot kitchen door, which McCaw says is the largest he has ever installed. “I’ve seen some big patio sliders, but this one takes the cake,” he says. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Outside, landscape designer Martha Dudenhoeffer enhanced the exterior views with a whimsical landscape plan full of shapely leaves and saturated blooms. Flamecolored croton plants mix with multihued passionflower vines, while lacy asparagus ferns mingle with the chartreuse leaves of mother-in-law’s tongue. “We wanted it to be really fun, not run-of-the mill,” she says. Now that all of the work is complete, the Combses’ home has become a destination for both family and friends. “We have someone here almost every night,” Christie says. “Friends and family drop by, and there’s always a cocktail waiting.” Adds Arendsen, “Turning a once-traditional home into something that blends timeless and modern elements was highly rewarding. I wouldn’t change a thing.” LUXESOURCE.COM / 213

Above: Architect Jim Sneed worked to open up the spaces in the home, giving it more light. A vestibule leading to the master suite was moved to add a more sophisticated entry into the room. A chest with cabriole legs and a glass vase anchor the space, which is a favorite of the designer. Right: The beachy feeling throughout the home extends to one of the sons’ bedrooms. Beneath a Thomas O’Brien light fixture from Visual Comfort & Co., a spindle bed by The Land of Nod rests atop a Pottery Barn rug; the custom draperies are in Cowtan & Tout linen. The adjacent bathroom’s mirror is from SoLo, and the trough sink and faucets are by Kohler. An Urban Electric sconce hangs nearby.

NATURE MADE

NESTLED IN AN IDYLLIC CANYON, A CONTEMPORARY LOS ANGELES HOME IS OF A PIECE WITH ITS VERDANT SURROUNDINGS. WRITTEN BY LAURA MAUK / PHOTOGRAPHY BY LAURE JOLIET

218 / LUXESOURCE.COM

In the living room of a Rustic Canyon house, designers Krista Schrock and David John Dick situated a custom sofa covered with a Romo cotton denim from Thomas Lavin, a vintage Danish armchair in Clarence House fabric from Kneedler-Fauchère and a burled-walnut side table from Lawson-Fenning. The rug is by Marc Phillips Decorative Rugs, and the ottomans are custom.

oliage can be a rare commodity in Los Angeles. So when David John Dick and Krista Schrock were asked to design the interiors of a home in Rustic Canyon—a neighborhood tucked away in the Santa Monica Mountains that’s brimming with oak, sycamore and eucalyptus trees—they were compelled to create rooms that honored the area’s coveted lushness. “All of the glass in the house opens it to the exterior and fills it with greenery,” Dick says. “One of the clients is a fine art photographer, and she’s very interested in nature, light and art. We’re drawn to those things, too. We wanted the interiors to reflect that.” Dick and Schrock’s clients, Sal Taylor Kydd and Steven Kydd, and their two children were living in Venice when they found themselves making regular day trips to Rustic Canyon. “On hot days when everyone headed to the beach, we headed to Rustic to hang out in the park,” Sal says. Enchanted in large measure by the cooler temperature and verdant surroundings, the Kydds began searching for just the right property. When they found an idyllic lot marked by a magnificent canopy of old oak trees, they called on architect Greg Crawford to design and build a home. “We didn’t want an oversize house that dominated the lot,” says Sal. “Outdoor space is important to us, and we wanted something contemporary that spoke to the environment but looked timeless.” Because foliage is plentiful in the canyon, sunshine is somewhat less available than it is elsewhere in Los Angeles. However, the front of the lot is bathed in natural light. “The home that was originally there was sited in exactly the wrong place to take advantage of the light,” Crawford explains. “I reversed the plan so the pool and yard are now in front.” Placing the new L-shaped structure at the rear of the property, the architect—who worked with project manager Joe Fedorowich and site manager Josh Frank on the project—clad the building with bleached

Rift-sawn white-oak cabinetryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;punctuated by Sun Valley Bronze hardware from Carter Hardware, marble counters from Stone Mart and terra-cotta Ann Sacks backsplash tileâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;defines the kitchen. Brass accents come from Bestlite pendants, and the faucet is from Waterworks. The oak-and-steel Lostine barstools bring an understated touch of elegance. The Wolf range and Rohl sink are both from Snyder Diamond.

Architect Greg Crawford used cedar, steelframed glass and lime plaster on the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exterior. Because the pool is sited in the front yard, the deck was designed to sit flush with the coping, and simple materials were chosen to harmonize with the landscape.

222 / LUXESOURCE.COM

reclaimed cedar, glass, bonderized steel and lime plaster. “The cedar references nature and the vibe of the canyon,” Crawford says. “The metal and glass are modern without having large unbroken panels of glass that would be too sleek for this house and aesthetic, and the plaster has a wonderfully soft feel that adds lightness to the other materials.” The home fits comfortably within the landscape Crawford designed, which is minimal and natural. “We retained the existing oak trees and added plants that worked with the oaks,” says Crawford. “Those plants also softened the existing fences and the new retaining wall, keeping it simple and layered.” To connect the inside with the exterior, Crawford used clay plaster for the interior walls and added a massive window wall in the living-dining-andkitchen space. The direct sunlight it brings in is balanced by more sunlight, which is cast from a large oculus at the top of the stairs and the clerestory windows. 224 / LUXESOURCE.COM

As dynamic as the architecture is, so too is the rich textural experience Dick and Schrock created for the interior landscape. “Sal, Steven and the kids love nature,” Schrock says, “so we thought a lot about natural materials and things that age.” Adds Dick, “Our work is influenced by the wabi-sabi tradition and Japanese design. We strive for something that doesn’t feel perfect, and think the way a house feels is more important than how it looks.” In this vein, the designers applied layers of materiality that include white-oak cabinetry outfitted with brass hardware in the kitchen and the bathrooms. They wrapped the living room’s fireplace surround in brass, too. “Brass patinas and even turns green sometimes,” Dick says. “We sourced some of the hardware from a shop that sells vintage pieces so they’re weathered and scuffed up and catch the light in interesting ways.” Dick and Schrock also placed ceramic accessories in the dining area and kitchen, and they hung

A corner of the master bedroom displays a Visual Comfort & Co. floor lamp from Circa Lighting and a metal side table from Roost. The vintage armchair is covered with velvet from Donghia. The wool rug from RH and the bedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Indian blanket from Hollywood at Home impart texture.

Visual Comfort & Co. sconces from Circa Lighting flank the mirror in the master bathroom. The tub is by Wetstyle, and a custom white-oak vanity features brass-capped legs and hardware from Liz’s Antique Hardware. The Kohler sink, set into a marble countertop from Stone Mart, is from Snyder Diamond; the faucet is from Waterworks. Basalt tile from Country Floors covers the floor.

a cluster of ceramic pendants on the terrace to lend the rustic quality of craftwork. “Ceramics are tactile and imperfect and give the feeling of home and something handmade,” Dick notes. The fabrics the designers selected for the upholstery, rugs and draperies also add textural interest. “The living room sofa is covered with soft cotton,” Schrock says. “A lot of the rugs are soft wool blends, and the drapery fabric in the bedrooms is lightweight linen.” For the palette, the design duo again looked to nature, opting for more neutral and earth tones. “There’s so much color surrounding the home that there wasn’t the need for a lot of color inside,” Schrock adds. “The interior felt calmer without it.” A similar sense of easy balance marks Schrock and Dick’s furniture choices. “Much of the interior architecture is very angled, so we wanted to bring in curves to loosen up the space,” Dick explains. Hans Wegner-designed Wishbone chairs, for instance, pull up to the dining table, which is lit by a beehive-like pendant. “The fixture is by a Czech company, whose work is inspired by the lighting in old opera houses,” Dick adds. In the living room, an Eero Saarinen-designed Womb chair and a vintage Danish chair with a low, sinuous profile offset the rectangular form of the fire surround and the grid-like steel window frames. “Balance is important so things aren’t too industrial or too modern,” Dick says. “We wanted to give the home a modern aesthetic yet also have it look and feel calm. Sal’s photographs have a similar calm. This is really an artistic home.”
