WHAT’S NEW

_LX_COM12_EditorLetter.indd 84

The season of renewal (current projects! fresh ideas!) is here—and yet spring can also be a time when buds take a tad longer to bloom and concepts need coaxing to get started. We’ve all been there with the proverbial blank page staring us down. So, consider this New + Now issue to be an inspiration injection, where we update your point of view with discoveries that allow you to step outside the day-to-day and dive into something altogether new. Costas Voyatzis, the man behind yatzer.com, the global kaleidoscope of what’s happening in art, fashion and design, lets us in on the top brands to watch in 2017. We also

present the latest in side tables, report on the trend of vivid color making its way into homes across the country (Farrow & Ball Chappell Green, I have my eyes on you!), and head outdoors for a showcase of sumptuous new textiles.

This spring, we also invite you online to the enhanced luxesource.com. Browse around and take a look. We’ll be tweaking things in the weeks to come, but hope you enjoy our ever-evolving digital home for design inspiration and discovery.

BEHIND THE SCENES PRODUCED BY SARAH RAMIREZ

LIZ ARNOLD Writer / New York Favorite Luxe interview: I really enjoyed speaking with designer Michael Siller and luxury rug specialist Larry Hokanson about their own Houston home. They are both history buffs and enthusiasts of Russian classicism, and they are incredibly knowledgeable on the intersection of history and design.

They filled their interiors with reproductions of exquisite pieces selected during trips to The State Hermitage Museum in Russia, and I still have plans to show up on their doorstep one day to see it for myself! Who is the most fascinating person you’ve ever met? Eva Zeisel. She was a playful Hungarian-born industrial designer who was imprisoned by Joseph Stalin’s regime before moving her ceramics into mass production, and she had the first one-woman show at the MoMA. Sadly, she passed away in 2011 at the age of 105. Prized possessions: A coin pendant of Queen Elizabeth II—a gift from my late father—that I wear on a long necklace; a vintage French upholstered armchair in mustard yellow that’s so low you feel like you’re in a sports car; and my computer, which stores all of my writing and ideas.

EMILY MINTON REDFIELD Photographer / Denver

What do you find inspiring about design today? Having nostalgia for 1970s wallpaper, I love seeing the new designs and appreciation for this art form. I can’t wait to put an Abigail Borg paper in my powder room and make it a fresh, retro jewel box. Unforgettable Luxe shoot: One of my most memorable projects was a home designed by my visionary father, Joseph Minton. Not only were the house and location beautiful, but I was also able to do the shoot in my pajamas alongside my dad. On your coffee table: I am inspired by design books and have them all over my house, but I am mostly fueled by fiction. My recent favorites are City of Thieves

by David Benioff and All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. Most fascinating person you’ve ever met: The Maharaja of Jaipur at a small dinner party in Delhi, India, when I was 24.

LX_COM12_Contributors.indd 98

MARK ROSKAMS Photographer / New York Whose work are you most influenced by? Photographer Raymond Meier, who does such brilliant and innovative work in the commercial advertising and editorial fields; photographer François Halard, who developed a unique style in the world of interior photography; and designer and artist Doug Meyer, a longtime friend and collaborator who gives me so much inspiration in regards to design. What type of design inspires you? I really enjoy Santiago Calatrava’s bridges, buildings and public spaces, as well as Brutalist architecture of the old regimes, which are such amazing structures in their own right. Favorite assignments: In 2010, I worked on a book with Rizzoli in Puglia, Italy, and then on a second book last year. They were both great projects, and the memories of meeting people and seeing firsthand the beauty of many things—humanity, history, architecture, life, food and passion—will last forever. I am continuing this endeavor with a new book I am planning this year on the stables and barns of the British Isles.

LAURA FISHER KAISER Writer / Washington, D.C. My biggest creative influence comes from… Viewing art. I try to go to a museum once a week. Dream assignment: I would love to have a time-machine talk show called What Were You Thinking, where I interview famous, and infamous, people from history. Most-loved book: The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt’s New World by Andrea Wulf. She rummages through the scientist’s notebooks and inside his mind to show how his ideas helped create modern environmentalism. What advice would you give your 20-year-old self? Think big, but master the details. Also, find a good therapist. If not a writer, I would be… A Smithsonian museum curator.

MAKING DESIGNERS AND CRAFTSMEN FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ARE BUILDING NEW FUTURES TOGETHER AND REDEFINING WHAT IT MEANS TO BE MADE IN AMERICA. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

The portrait of an artist as a solitary genius, toiling away and perfecting his craft in isolation, may be a romantic notion—a testament to a love of artistry so intense and allconsuming that nothing else matters—but it’s also a relic of the past. Today’s craftsmen and creatives don’t want to suffer for their art; instead, they’re using their creations to build bridges not only to the people who will ultimately invite the pieces into their homes but also to those who share their passions: fellow makers. As manufacturing in America continues to fight to thrive in the competitive global economy, the you-can’tsit-with-us mentality is giving way to communal tables, which in many cases have been built in collaboration by the people who sit around them. In places all over the country, this longing for connection is redefining what it means to be made in America, resulting in growing communities of independent designers who work side by side, collaborate regularly and sell their wares together. Here, we share some of our favorites.

NEW YORK WHAT IT IS: Located on Canal Street in New York City, Colony is equal parts showroom and gallery with carefully curated goods from independent designers—many with ties to the area and working studios in nearby Brooklyn.

Founded and curated by entrepreneur Jean Lin, the design co-op also has a strategic arm, named Colony Consult, developed to help designers better position their work in the retail market. WHAT IT DOES: Colony provides a community for the furniture, lighting, textile and object designers who call it home. In addition to offering a brick-and-mortar location for members to showcase their goods, Lin also thinks outside the box with a series of exhibits and pop-ups with neighboring non-endemic businesses to drive new traffic to the space.

DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Industry darlings like Erickson Aesthetics, whose in-progress copper Manifold chair is featured on our Radar opener, count themselves part of Colony, as do craftsman and designer Aaron Poritz (pictured far right), whose gorgeous Abner toolbox (shown on the previous page) offers both form and function; lighting upstart Allied Maker and its Voyager 333 chandelier (shown right, top); and the woodworking wunderkinds behind Vonnegut/Kraft, who are responsible for the handsome Black Crescent lounge (right, bottom).

▲ JOIN DESIGN

SEATTLE WHAT IT IS: Founded in 2008 by the prolific minds behind some of the Pacific Northwest’s most successful creative practices—Grain, Iacoli & McAllister and Ladies & Gentlemen Studio, for example—Join Design has become much more than a venture to showcase local talents and now includes more than 50 members

LX_COM12_Radar_Made_In_America.indd 104

from independent design studios all over the country. WHAT IT DOES: In addition to hosting events and exhibits featuring products (made in the USA, of course) from its impressive roster of makers, Join also solicits new product design, curates its own collections for popular trade shows, offers mentorship programs and organizes retail pop-ups. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Multimedia artist Aleksandra Pollner’s

unique and modern approach to traditional furniture constructs, as shown in the table above, left, is breathtaking; designer Melanie Abrantes creates chic accessories (above, right) using beautifully grained wood and cork, the nonconventional material of our dreams; and The Granite’s expert handling of form and function makes even the most mundane of objects extraordinary.

L.A. BOX COLLECTIVE

LOS ANGELES WHAT IT IS: A community built by Los Angelesbased furniture makers, L.A. Box Collective started as a way to bond over the group’s shared commitment to working with sustainable materials while engaged in sustainable practices— something they continue to honor through a particularly thoughtful mission statement. WHAT IT DOES: Not only does the collective encourage and provide support to makers who seek to tackle their craft with a mindful approach to the environment, it also puts on joint exhibitions of work completed under a common theme: For example, last year, its 10 members debuted a show at the Craft & Folk Art Museum, titled “Windfall,” which featured new works crafted exclusively from wood sourced from local trees felled during California’s historic San Gabriel Valley windstorm of 2011. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Casey Dzierlenga splits her time between Los Angeles and her home base in New York’s Hudson River Valley, where she mostly mills wood from her own land before transforming it into clean-lined masterpieces with an organic feel, as demonstrated by the wonderfully simplistic yet impactful aesthetic of the Alma credenza and Lorca coffee table

(shown above and right); while a foundation and love for midcentury designers fuels designer and craftsman David Johnson’s original works as well as his careful Danish modern restoration projects that somehow capture and preserve their makers’ intentions while offering up a little something extra.

PARIS WHAT IT IS: A Paris-based showroom dedicated to introducing international design lovers to the best of American design, Triode is expanding the conversation surrounding what it means for a product to be made in America to a whole new audience. Founder Jacques Barret presents this generation of American classics along with reissues from greats like Finn Juhl and Richard Neutra. WHAT IT DOES: Barret is making the domestic design movement cool again by bringing it to the epicenter of global chic, Paris— home to one of the furniture industry’s most well-respected yearly celebrations, Maison & Objet—and allowing the pieces to stand on their own against friendly competition from all over the globe. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Based in New York, Anna Karlin’s eye-catching contemporary furniture forms (shown at left) feel vaguely European but are all produced with the help of local artisans; and Apparatus, Rosie Li and Bec Brittain’s illuminated offerings break the mold on traditional lighting from studios in Brooklyn.

HUBBARDTON FORGE’S DESIGN DIRECTOR DAVID KITTS SHARES HOW ONE OF THE COUNTRY’S OLDEST AND LARGEST COMMERCIAL FORGES IN OPERATION IS EXPANDING—WITH ITS NEWEST LINE, VERMONT MODERN—AND REDEFINING AMERICAN CRAFTSMANSHIP. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRITTANY S. CHEVALIER

Speaking of process, tell us how you brought your visions to life. Our design process starts off very hands-on: We make a sketch and often work with steel, paper or foam models, and then we figure out how to illuminate the initial concept. As an unconventional design group, we were able to “loosen up” and really have fun with the offerings.

We quickly realized, though, that fun isn’t always easy; there’s a fine line between a design that is simple and a design that is pure. Striving for this purity has been both enjoyable and challenging.

Why is it so important to continue to honor the company’s tradition of craft? It’s a part of Hubbardton Forge’s legacy—the commitment to the handmade—and it was one of the driving forces behind Vermont Modern. Everyone here believes in it, which is good since a lot of people contribute to the final product. For example, three different departments work intently on constructing the actual form—from molding and cutting the steel to cleaning raw edges and prepping the material for welding. After the elements are forged

LX_COM12_Radar_Debut.indd 108

together, they’re cleaned again before heading to the final three departments, starting with the finishing team. In this stage, the products are powder-coated and cured in our ovens, then sent to assembly, where they are completed and tested before shipping out.

Share some of the materials you added to this line to complement Hubbardton’s signature steel. We introduced Vermont maple in a natural finish that is locally sourced from Maple Landmark, a wooden toy crafter 30 miles north of the forge in Vermont. We thought the wood element added a nice natural contrast to the steel, and its natural state adds a touch of Danish modern appeal.

Do you have a favorite piece in the collection? While I am intrigued by the Metro pendant (shown here), and the duality of its piping acting as a functional and primary decorative element, I am also drawn to our Copernicus design. It is very different from anything we have ever done, as it is very minimal and comprises only three basic components: an LED light, steel rails, and wooden balls that act as isolators. In the past, we would have tried to add a forged-steel element to give it something more, but with Vermont Modern we are really trying to keep the design pure by boiling it down to its innate essence.

PHOTO: JUDE GOLDMAN .

Hubbardton Forge’s newest collection is innovative and fresh and marks a shift from its more traditional offerings. What was the inspiration behind the line? The initial goal for Vermont Modern was to appeal to a younger, more urban demographic, to people who appreciate high-quality, contemporary design from a socially responsible domestic manufacturer who still crafts each piece one at a time.

RADAR / BEHIND THE BRAND

Family Affair MCKINNON AND HARRIS EMBRACES A LOCAL, HANDMADE ETHOS, INSTILLING A SENSE OF TRADITION AND PLACE IN THE COMPANY’S OUTDOOR FURNISHINGS.

“We always say that we don’t want to be the biggest outdoor furniture maker in the world; we just want to be the best,” says Anne Massie, the cofounder, with her brother Will, of Richmond, Virginia-based McKinnon and Harris. For the siblings, the key to being the best means keeping things local. The pair opened their doors in 1991, and the area, itself a historic center of craft, provides a spark that has allowed the company to thrive. Says Will Massie, “McKinnon and Harris could never live in an industrial park; we crave the energy and inspiration of our city.”

Born from rough pencil sketches, McKinnon and Harris’ furnishings are handmade in a workshop flooded with light thanks to a clerestory running the length of the building. After being refined by the Massies and their team of engineers, the designs are put into production in a process relying on methods both old and new. Hammers, mallets, hand files of varying shapes and sizes, chisels and clamps can be found in the factory, along with a 62-person force of craftspeople who possess knowledge and skill born of years of practice. “You can palpably feel the drive for excellence and innovation and hear the hum of hands working and the sounds of metal being formed,” says Will.

Time-honored practices, though, share space with cutting-edge technology, especially when it comes to the company’s coating process, which manages to be both environmentally friendly and effective.

Inspiration for their pieces comes from traditional sources: A new collection launching this spring came by way of a nautical-feeling, French Art Deco chair from the 1930s. The roots of new designs also start closer to home—namely from Anne’s garden at her historic residence. “Spending a lot of time there makes it easy to realize what would

LX_COM12_Radar_BehindTheBrand.indd 110

make my own outdoor spaces more comfortable,” she shares. There’s also the Wyatt garden table collection, titled after the Massies’ grandmother, Ella Wyatt McKinnon Massie, while their Beaufort club chairs are named after a family dog always on the lookout for the most comfortable seat.

The siblings are committed to keeping their focus on outdoor furnishings and their operations local. “Absolutely no one knows as much as we do about building and coating beautiful aluminum furniture,” notes Anne. “For now, we plan to continue innovating and perfecting our first love.” And, in keeping with that smaller yet better ethos, they’re staying small and close to home. “Our pieces deserve to never see a factory floor,” says Will. “Plus, it would be impossible to achieve our level of perfection on any larger of a scale. Mass-producing McKinnon and Harris’ Beaufort club chairs gather around a Wyatt table or overseas manufacturing would (top) at the home of company cofounder Will Massie (shown center, left, be a completely soulless endeavor, with sister and business partner Anne Massie); the duVal-Alexander sun and we couldn’t do it.” bed is shown above.

DESIGN PASSPORT LOOKING TO BOOKMARK A NEW MUST-READ WEBSITE? LUXE CATCHES UP WITH COSTAS VOYATZIS, THE CREATIVE FORCE BEHIND YATZER.COM AND ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING VOICES IN INTERNATIONAL DESIGN. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA PORTRAIT BY YIORGOS KAPLANIDIS

What made you decide to launch Yatzer?

My obligatory draft in the Greek military came up. I had actually delayed it for quite a while, but at the age of 26, I couldn’t put it off anymore.

So, I was drafted, and I had to leave my job, the career I was forging and all the contacts I had made behind, and I worried that the year and a half in the military would halt my career. It was this fear, that I’d lose touch with the industry, that actually became the catalyst for yatzer.com.

I wanted to stay connected even though I wasn’t physically present. It began as my private blog and evolved into what it is today.

Share your most-loved part of the job.

I love to attend trade shows and do market coverage because I always discover hidden design gems. Although it takes days to complete my research after the shows, I can’t wait to press the publish button and share my discoveries with people who don’t have the chance to travel

Perhaps it’s not hard to believe that the same place that gave us the Acropolis and the Parthenon—Athens, Greece—would still be making major offerings to the worlds of architecture and design. Today’s contributions, though, aren’t being built with painstakingly stacked brick or stone, but with pixels: Greek native Costas Voyatzis’ international website, yatzer.com, has become an undeniable resource for design lovers all over the globe.

Here, Voyatzis, a former magazine editor and avid traveler, retraces the path that led him to creating one of the hottest corners on the web and serves as the super-hip tour guide for all the best of the overseas creative scene. yatzer.com

and attend these shows but want to “relive” them through my eyes. But, also, it is important to cover these events for the people—designers and companies—who, although they have participated in the shows, due to their hectic schedules, don’t even have the time to check out what’s happening in the stand around the corner from theirs or in a different hall from the one they are in.

Do you have any favorite trade shows?

Definitely the first place belongs to Salone del Mobile Milano, which is a part of a much bigger event, Milano Design Week. Although there is never enough time to see everything, it is still the place where the industry’s major trends are born. Next, I have to mention Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair, because who can ignore Scandinavian design? And, then, the Biennale Interieur in Kortrijk, Belgium, which has been happening every two years since 1968; the careful curatorial job behind it is visible in every detail of the fair.

Top five brands to watch in 2017: For furniture, I’ve got my eye on Ginger & Jagger out of Porto, Portugal; for lighting, London’s Bert Frank has so much promise; Fabscarte from Milan has my vote for shaking up the world of wallpapers; Barcelona-based Octaevo is turning traditional stationery on its head; and, finally, Kikof from Tokyo has absolutely incredible offerings in ceramic tableware.

Tell us about the products you have on your own wish list.

There’s desk sculptures by graphic designer and architect Kristina Dam from Copenhagen.

The set comes with a round paperweight in stoneware, a triangle bookend in marble, a wooden cone and an arc in brass (all shown on previous page). I also love the Ora Sculptural

table clock by the Switzerland-based design duo Panter & Tourron—a collaboration between Italy’s Stefano Panterotto and Alexis Tourron from France. The Stadium Light No. 1 by Danish furniture and product designer Niclas Jørgensen is also a favorite, as are the Touch trays by Studioilse for Zanat. Finally, I’m a big fan of the Plugged series of carafes, jugs, soliflore and table lamps by Lebanese interior architect and product designer Richard Yasmine.

Why do you think it’s important to talk about design with a multicultural lens?

There are many design sites around the world that focus on domestic design, but I believe that yatzer.com gives readers a wider perspective.

It affords them the opportunity to see the trends as they are being created around the world, and they can therefore witness their progression and subsequent development.

Is there a particular country whose design scene is really interesting you right now?

What instantly comes to mind are the wireweaving works being created in Africa. These are amazing to me because the artists are combining modern technology—telephone wires—with traditional weaving techniques and craftsmanship. The results are so unique.

From top: The Plugged series of drink and glassware from Lebanese designer Richard Yasmine; an assortment of Touch trays by Studioilse for Zanat; and the Ora Sculptural table clock by Panter & Tourron.

MARCIANO ART FOUNDATION This spring, the Marciano Art Foundation unveils its new home in one of L.A.’s most curious buildings. The foundation, established by Guess cofounders and brothers Maurice and Paul Marciano, purchased the 110,000-square-foot Scottish Rite Masonic Temple in 2013. The imposing, windowless white-marble structure was designed by Millard Sheets in 1961 and quickly became a Wilshire Boulevard landmark. Empty since 1994, the foundation allowed the building to retain its original features but gave Kulapat Yantrasast, the founding partner and creative director of Culver City architecture firm Why, the opportunity to create a modern 65,000-square-foot exhibit space. Admission is free, but the foundation is quick to point out that this is not a museum, per se. Rather, Maurice calls it “an incubator for artists.” The inaugural exhibition, “Unpacking: The Marciano Collection,” is organized by former MOCA curator Philipp Kaiser. marcianoartfoundation.org

TALKING SHOP WITH PAUL DAVIDGE

NOT SO GENERAL When did you open? We opened our doors at 7209 Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood in December 2016. Tell us about the concept. I wanted to cater to a broad clientele whose common interest is a love for good design, so I created a gallery-showroom-store hybrid. By featuring everything from off-the-shelf items and made-to-order furnishings to vintage works, I’m able to offer something to clients with different budgets, spaces and lead-time parameters. And the location?

We’re in an up-and-coming part of Hollywood that many view as the best neighborhood to source the latest in contemporary design, fashion and art. Why L.A.? Although I’m from London, L.A. has been my home for 10 years. The city has changed a great deal during that time, becoming a mecca for creators in art, fashion and design. However, it is still difficult to find good contemporary work as L.A. tends to focus on midcentury design. Describe the shop. Instead of vignettes, we have an art gallery feel—works can breathe and be more appreciated for their design and craftsmanship. Clients have embraced this uncluttered approach as they can envision how pieces can suit their specific needs. What will visitors find?

The ombré glasswork of Amsterdam-based Germans Ermičs, exquisitely crafted furniture by domestic artisans, exclusive pieces by L.A. design studio Early Work, and we just got some cool resin chairs by New York-based Kim Markel.

For most of our designers this is their only home in L.A., so you won’t be able to find them anywhere else. notsogeneral.la

IN HIS WORDS: “Within this finite format, using only my phone, I have been able to dabble in photography. I don’t think there is necessarily a strict vision, but I suppose it’s a reflection of my own sensibilities as a designer, or maybe sometimes an homage to images by other photographers I admire.”

SHELF LIFE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IS HAVING A BANNER SEASON FOR COFFEE TABLE DECOR. HERE, ARE FOUR NOTABLE TOMES BY CREATIVES TO ADD TO YOUR HOME LIBRARY.

ADOBE HOUSES: HOUSE OF SUN AND EARTH From its earliest structures—and especially its iconic Spanish Colonial missions—California has been associated with adobe architecture. In this new book, with photography by David Glomb, author Kathryn Masson delves into 23 adobe homes, including historic Casa Boronda built in 1817 in Monterey and Casa del Oso, a contemporary home in Santa Barbara that illustrates how adaptable and relevant the vernacular style is today. The book examines adobe architecture’s interior traditions and courtyard gardens, often lined by a covered walkway that helps shade the house. rizzoliusa.com

MIDNIGHT MODERN: PALM SPRINGS UNDER THE FULL MOON TOM BLACHFORD Over the course of three years, Australian photographer Tom Blachford documented the modernist houses of Palm Springs entirely by moonlight. The images have an ethereal beauty and present some of the area’s most famous homes (the Kaufmann Desert House and Frank Sinatra’s Twin Palms Estate, among them) in a bold new way. Without sunshine and sparkling pools to distract, a more mysterious side of Palm Springs is revealed. powerhousebooks.com

RANCHES: HOME ON THE RANGE IN CALIFORNIA MARC APPLETON The American West still beckons with a new book from renowned L.A. architect Marc Appleton. Alongside photographs

by Melba Levick, Appleton tells the tale of ranch-house architecture and its interiors, with styles as varied as the 150-year-old Rancho Camulos adobe near Fillmore (the setting for Helen Hunt Jackson’s novel Ramona) and Jack London’s New England-style Beauty Ranch in Glen Ellen. The book features 19 ranches that run the stylistic gamut from rough to refined showcasing living on the land. This coffee-table book is a testament to the enduring appeal of a romanticized yet often unforgiving way of life. rizzoliusa.com

TROUSDALE ESTATES: MIDCENTURY TO MODERN IN BEVERLY HILLS STEVEN PRICE

LAUNCH NICKEY KEHOE

L.A. designers and shop owners Todd Nickey and Amy Kehoe of Nickey Kehoe have long been known for their innovative approach to creating homes, but with the launch of their new collection, Heart of the Home, they have turned industry tradition on its ear.

Rather than releasing two large series annually, the duo have decided to release four micro-collections over the coming year. “It allows us to produce more idiosyncratic, timely, narrative-driven pieces rather than conventional collections. It lets us be nimble,” says Nickey. “It also allows for a more intimate conversation with our clientele.” The designers are known for creating kitchens that double as living areas in which clients can welcome family and friends, and they created Heart of the Home with that lifestyle in mind. The collection includes such furnishings as the Spindleback dining chair (above) and the Curved sofa (below), which were inspired by vintage pieces, a three-tier freestanding island and smaller handmade items including whiskey tumblers by Sheldon Ceramics.

“It speaks to the evolution of space and how we live today,” Nickey says. nickeykehoe.com

Trousdale Estates, a 410-acre residential enclave in the hills overlooking Los Angeles, has been home to numerous Hollywood stars—Elvis Presley, Elton John and Jennifer Aniston, to name a few—since the 1950s, yet only now has a book been published on its spectacular history. Author Steven Price documents more than 50 homes, presented by decade, highlighting designs by leading architects of the day such as Wallace Neff and Paul R. Williams and their contemporaries who brought many of the homes into the modern day. Price’s peppering of historical events and society gossip make it an entertaining read. reganarts.com 112 / LUXESOURCE.COM

DATE BOOK ALISON PALEVSKY

9 a.m. Start your day with an almond milk latte at Caffe Luxxe at The Brentwood Country Mart. It’s my go-to pick-me-up after a morning run or Pilates workout and sending my two sons to school.

9:30 a.m. For a healthy California breakfast, head to Little Beach House Malibu, an offshoot of the Soho House—it’s a great spot for client meetings. I love the avocado toast with tomato, chili and watercress.

11 a.m. If you have time, pop into my store, Palevsky, on San Vicente Boulevard, where you’ll find unexpected artwork, accessories and furniture.

We’re constantly updating the collections with fresh ideas and collaborating with new craftsmen and artists on limited-edition pieces.

12:30 p.m. Nearby, stop for a quick lunch at Baltaire Restaurant—a classic spot known for steaks, seafood and great cocktails. For a light lunch, I opt for the

DATE BOOK PHOTOS: COURTESY ALISON PALEVSKY.

With concurrent projects in Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades and Brentwood, designer Alison Palevsky is fast on her feet, and just last year launched her eponymously named Brentwood shop. The boutique, which offers fine furniture (including her own collection, XPalevsky), decorative objects and jewelry, has quickly become one of the city’s go-to design destinations. While the shop and residential projects require her to be on the Westside, meetings frequently take her to the Eastside. “I also use vendors as far as South El Monte, so I’m always running from place to place,” Palevsky says. What she’s picked up along the way is a deep understanding of Southern California culture and how people want to live today. New to the shop is the custom Joile bar cart, which she originally designed for a client, and a marble collection from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Embedded with brass studs, the pieces “will add edge to any interior,” she says. Here, Palevsky dives into her daily routine scouring shops while sourcing for projects and inspiration. Although, she adds: “A typical day for me is never typical.” palevsky.co Greek salad—it’s prepared tableside. If you’re up for a caloric splurge, order it with the truffle fries.

2 p.m. After lunch, wander through Thomas Hayes Studio in Hollywood. There, you’ll find a great mix of contemporary and midcentury modern pieces. I often go there searching for barstools or end tables for clients.

3 p.m. Next, make your way to Neptune Glassworks downtown, where owner Uri Davillier designs and fabricates custom lighting and glassware in addition to artwork and exhibits. A great example of Davillier’s work is on display at Otium—he designed the lighting in the restaurant.

4:30 p.m. After visiting Otium, walk next door to The Broad museum to check out its collection of postwar and contemporary art, as well as one of the new rotating temporary exhibits. Just a short drive away is Hauser Wirth & Schimmel, a new

international gallery devoted to contemporary art and modern masters—it’s definitely worth a visit.

6 p.m. Since you’re on the east part of town, make it a point to stop for drinks at Perch—a rooftop bistro with stunning views of the city.

End the day with dinner at Bestia where great design— think industrial tile, steel and marble mixed with pendant lights and airy booth seating— blends with even better food.

The menu is rustic Italian with handmade pastas, pizzas and, of course, pastries.

& “ The best part of being an interior designer is elevating my clients.  I am providing them with a design and experience that is tailor made just for them. �

How would you describe your aesthetic?

A candid conversation with Aaron B Duke, owner of AARONBDUKE, an international luxury lifestyle design and architectural coordination studio - created with a vocabulary of classicism, textural, predominately neutral-hued palettes, sophistication, and timeless design solutions.

Modern luxury with a classic and timeless style.

Where do you go for inspiration?

The world around me is my inspiration and constant source of education and enlightenment. Traveling internationally allows me to immerse myself in art, architecture, fashion, culture and history, but lately, a lot of my inspiration has been local. Los Angeles is experiencing a Renaissance in the visual and performing arts. I frequent galleries and museums to stay connected to local art, costumes, and historical content. I also adore going to dance or theatrical events and the experience of a live performance.

Does the LA aesthetic inspire your designs?

Absolutely. Los Angeles has so many different styles and aesthetics within each neighborhood that cater to the modern luxury clientele. We are very glob-8 -:0 5:ĹŒA1:/10 .E ;@41>?p /A8@A>1? and customs. Los Angeles’ aesthetics is as diverse as the people who live here.

What is your favorite part of designing a home or project?

What is luxury to you?

The process. Often times, I feel as though I experience the home design before my clients. Countless hours are spent identifying the Ĺ&#x2039;:1?@ Ĺ&#x2039;:5?41? -:0 2-.>5/? 1D=A5?5@1 2A>:5@A>1 -:0 <1>21/@ 8534@5:3 hand-pick a dream team of architects, landscape designers, and crafts people who are as committed to excellence as I am. As the process evolves, I love seeing and feeling the enthusiasm a client exudes once they experience what were once sketches and drawings being brought to life in the design, craftsmanship, and execution of their home.

There is something about a luxury brand that makes it luxury. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the look and feel, beautiful advertising, texture, the service your receive, the money you pay - and sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit of everything. Many times, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an experience you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite put your Ĺ&#x2039;:31> ;: .A@ E;A 7:;C 5@ C-? ?<1/5-8

How do you strike the balance between your work and your home life?

There is no typical day for me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I enjoy what I do so much.

Some days, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m curating our social media or blogging about a new design discovery. Other days, I might be creating drawings for custom furniture or millwork. And in-between, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always meeting face to face with my clients. In every facet of my business, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always ensuring that our clients are receiving the luxury lifestyle they are accustomed to.

KATE LONG STEVENSON: IN HER WORDS

8

Medium: Acrylic, gouache and watercolor—layered with charcoal.

Trademark: Abstract Expressionist, representational and feminine.

Women’s intuition: The female form is universally relatable and beautiful, and I love to take that familiarity and turn it on its head.

Art game changer: Decidedly the biggest shift in my career was the decision to create for myself and not the market; it’s refreshing to produce work that I am passionate about. Creative influences: Painterly work—from Impressionism to John Singer Sargent’s brushstrokes and glowing color—and Abstract Expressionists like Joan Mitchell and Willem de Kooning. Never too many… Laughs, long conversations, lunch dates or snoozebutton hits. My art is… Gestural, energetic and mysterious.

CURVE APPEAL CAROLINE WALLS: IN HER WORDS

6

Medium: Both oil and synthetic polymer paint, along with charcoal and graphite. Trademark: Figurative—I tend to drift between abstract works, breaking down the line and form of a figure, and representational pieces. Women’s intuition: I deeply appreciate the aesthetics of the female form, its curves and sensuality, but I’m also interested in what lies beneath the surface, as the unseen aspects of a person are so easy to overlook. Art school confidential: I have always had a keen interest in the arts, so after five years of working abroad as a designer and art director, I finally returned to Melbourne, Australia, and enrolled in a postgraduate visual arts program.

Creative influences: Marlene Dumas, Elizabeth Peyton, Louise Bourgeois—all women who work figuratively and with the female form. My art is… Spontaneous, fluid, sensual, free and evocative.

Medium: Acrylic paint on canvas. Trademark: Mythopoetic and magical while forming a unique visual reality. Women’s intuition: Approaching portraiture in a fresh way, I want my female subject to have color and flavor and evoke an otherworldly dimension of pure mystery. Art school confidential: After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design, I moved to New York City and the exposure to the art world and museums ultimately stimulated my desire to be a painter. Creative influences: Nature, light, color, meditation, Japanese aesthetics, tantric painting, and poetry by Han-Shan and Pablo Neruda. Dream collaborations: Traktung Yeshe Dorje and the band Just a Tourist. Role models: Sarah Sze, Nick Cave, Yayoi Kusama, Kara Walker and Kerry James Marshall. Life motto: Unlearn.

CONCRETE JUNGLE A TOUCH OF GREENERY ACCENTUATES AN IMPRESSIVE DISPLAY OF SIDE TABLES, CEMENTING THEIR STATUS AS CHIC ADDITIONS TO ANY URBAN DWELLING. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY KATE BERGERON PHOTOGRAPHY BY KATE BENSON

SUSAN COLLINS WEIR

INTERIOR DESIGNER STUDIOCOLLINSWEIR.COM

The Parker nesting tables… Play with motifs from various eras. It’s clear from the tables’ neoclassical and early-19th-century influences that Showers cleverly drew her inspiration from traditional, triedand-true European design that somehow feels extremely fresh. Composition: The decorative aspect of the design is a strong counterpoint to the minimal urban backdrop, while the decadent bronze complements the magnolia leaves, adding warmth to the concrete. On keeping it real: Authentic and original design is vital to the work of designers. It drives the profession forward and underpins our collective advances, challenging us to reinvent the norms and push art and design forward. I’m impressed with Showers’… Innate ability to mix and revamp decorative styles, and her line with Kravet exemplifies her knack for bringing this cross section of furniture genres to one of the industry’s top design powerhouses.

Creatively speaking: Good proportions and strong materiality are what I look for in an accent table, and these nesting tables epitomize both.

BRONZE BEAUTY THE PIECE: Parker Nesting Tables THE DESIGNER: Jan Showers FIND IT: kravet.com THE INSPIRATION: Inspired by her antique and vintage finds while traveling through Paris, Dallas design dame Jan Showers collaborated with Kravet to create a collection of glamorous yet practical pieces that add a stately-meets-subtle warmth to any setting. Showersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fondness for vintage brass and bronze, as well as good cable jewelry design, was the catalyst for the Parker nesting tables, which perfectly capture the designerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penchant for all things Parisian.

TINY WONDER THE PIECE: Pedestal THE DESIGNERS: Vera Kleppe and Åshild Kyte FIND IT: esaila.com THE INSPIRATION: Stirred by a perennial curiosity to explore fresh materials and unexpected design forms, Norway-based design studio Vera & Kyte continually pushes the envelope with its sleek and electrifying creations. Pedestal holds true to those aesthetic ideals, making this versatile side table a perfect—and dynamic—addition to any home.

JEREMIAH BRENT INTERIOR DESIGNER JEREMIAHBRENT.COM

Vera & Kyte’s designs… Feel so easy and chic.

What a unique pairing of form and function throughout this piece while maintaining total simplicity; nothing is over-designed, and yet it still feels like high design. Material connection: I love how the marble and perforated steel almost seem at odds, yet they are so harmonious together. Having lived in New York City…

I am connected to this composition instantly.

There is nothing like partaking in daily life (which can be real and messy and beautiful all at the same time) in a place like New York to truly understand the concept of a “concrete jungle,” and this composition reflects that experience perfectly. Visual play: Pedestal’s luscious curves cast against the sharp corners of the concrete highlight Vera & Kyte’s piece in a distinctly effortless and luxurious way.

Creatively speaking: This table is a gorgeous compilation of so many periods of design and a true jack-of-all-trades: It’s as edgy as it is sophisticated and would work perfectly in just about any space.

I’m enamored by… Sean O’Hara’s masterful use of natural materials. The intricacy and sheer geometry it took to perfectly configure each piece into the finished product is incredible. This attention to detail and artistry elevates the design to an utmost standard of luxury. Material connection: These accent tables encompass multiple senses, providing not only sight and touch but also conjuring the sense of smell with their natural wooden qualities.

A statement piece… Like this one can stand proud on its own accord without the need for additional attendees. Let’s be honest, no one wants a room full of items that compete. There is beauty in the ability to cultivate and curate our surroundings. Design is cyclical… Ever-evolving and ever-changing. We have to be cognizant of the pulse that inspires us to reinvent and keep design current. Creatively speaking: This design reminds me to find playfulness in refinement and that whimsy and sophistication are a beautiful blend.

Assembled with layers of imbricated solid-wood plates and shown here in both the Grey Sienna and Espresso finishes, the Spruce occasional tables remind us that bucolicinspired designs are indeed evergreen.

The Italia Terrazzo Stone Inlaid table illustrates her aesthetic ideal, which Hable realized by mixing patterns to add dimension to each piece within the collection.

Mission accomplished.

TODD NICKEY + AMY KEHOE INTERIOR DESIGNERS NICKEYKEHOE.COM

Susan Hable’s designs… Seem rooted in nature, and we love her ability to create modern compositions with her subject matter.

Her collections with Maitland-Smith bring out the company’s whimsical side in an earthy and delightful way. Composition: The understated nods to an urban garden evoke, for us, a South American midcentury mood. Material connection: With its many iterations, terrazzo often gets overlooked in certain applications, as it’s often used in large commercial spaces. We love that this particular use of the stone blend appears to read as foliage and has a transporting quality.

There’s a reference to precious stones with this moody color palette that feels extremely luxurious as well. On keeping it real: In today’s crowded marketplace, we gravitate toward pieces with an emotional charge more than ever.

The artistic intentions in Susan’s designs do not go unnoticed here with this dynamic piece.

BELLA MANCINI

INTERIOR DESIGNER BELLAMANCINIDESIGN.COM

I find Darryl Carter’s work to be eternally inspiring: He is able to convey a sense of serenity with his nuanced neutral palette and minimalistic collections of sculptural furniture. Material connection: There is a subtle tension between the industrial feeling of the powder-coated metal base and the elegant marble top. Creatively speaking: I’m especially drawn to the asymmetry of the bases and how their restrained luster allows for the angles to pop. I’d love to flank a sofa with a pair and position them askew to bring visual interest to an elevation. The industrial quality… Of the metal and the dynamic twist in the base remind me of artist John Chamberlain’s sculptures made of crushed automotive metal. They both share a sort of “machine age” elegance. On keeping it real: In a very dense world of design, it’s imperative to have a narrative and remain authentic to your aesthetic and values. Carter’s collection with Milling Road is a perfect example of just that.

Inspired by a faceted bracelet, the accent table reads as a symbol of true luxury, resplendent and modern all at once.

With its silky gold bullion finish, the piece, dare we say, shines bright like a diamond.

SUMMER THORNTON

INTERIOR DESIGNER SUMMERTHORNTONDESIGN.COM

Caracole’s dazzling accent table… Reminds me of a cut-jewel ring. Those sharp angular cuts and that grandiose yet practical shape catch your eye the way a fine piece of jewelry might. Composition: I am all about contrast when designing a space, and the pairing of the industrial environment with an as-polishedas-they-come piece feels luxurious, personal and even a little edgy. Finishes are the key…

To a really gorgeous design. Oftentimes, gold and brass, albeit classics, just aren’t polished enough for me, but a gold bullion finish brings an incomparable sheen—it’s practically a gold mirror finish, which I find sexy and dramatic.

Creatively speaking: Much of my work is grounded in traditional lines and architecture, so I’m always on the hunt for pieces that provide that necessary edge. The shape and allure of Caracole’s design fits the bill in that it’s fresh with just the right amount of flair.

ELDORADO STONE OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

When beginning the design or renovation of any outdoor living area, Brent Spann, president of Eldorado Stone, advises clients to “think about how you live and what you enjoy doing—be it reading, hosting, family time—and plan the space for that use.” He continues, “Ultimately it should fit the homeowner’s lifestyle and within the scale of the space ... with ample seating, a fire feature, shade and a kitchen, of course.” While many design trends come and go, the focus on indoor-outdoor spaces remains with an emphasis on creating a cohesive look for a seamless transition from the inside out. Conversation and living spaces with fire as a central point continue in popularity, as well as the extension of “smart-home” technology to outdoor living spaces. To accommodate today’s vast variety of outdoor options, Eldorado Stone offers an extensive outdoor product lineup, ranging from elegant fire bowls to inviting seating walls and beautiful outdoor kitchens, that transforms any personal retreat through color and texture. “We seamlessly marry design with functionality, making it easier than ever to create a memorable space,” Spann says.

Q+A What is inspiring you now?

Year-round use of the outdoor space, even outside of the Sun Belt. Creative use of the space and amenities beyond going outside to grill a steak. Also, creating secondary living spaces for smaller areas in your outdoor space, like in a side yard or balcony.

What are some design elements/innovations in outdoor living that you’re excited about?

Outdoor-rated fabrics, furniture and appliances that look like they would belong in your indoor space. Not your grandmother’s plastic-covered lounge chair.

What makes your product/brand distinctive in terms of material selection, product quality and functionality?

Our fire bowls bring a heightened level of design and elegance to any outdoor space and come in a variety of styles, from classic to modern. Made from strong, glass fiberreinforced concrete and hand-sanded through a four-step finishing process, each fire bowl renders a true one-of-a-kind creation with subtle variations in color and texture, similar to natural limestone.

FLEETWOOD WINDOWS & DOORS OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

An integral component of every home design, windows and doors go beyond changing one’s view. They impact security, energy efficiency and the resale value of your home. So when choosing the right doors and windows, homeowners must consider myriad decisions; everything from material selection and insulation to ease of use and maintenance. And for a seamless transition from the inside to the outside, “your window and door products must blend with the architectural intentions of the home,” says Mark McCoy, General Manager of Fleetwood Windows & Doors.

To take the most advantage of the views, more and more homeowners are seeking larger expanses of glass for their multi-sliding and pocket doors, such as operable doors with leak-proof flush tracks that house glass larger than 60 square feet. “The insulated glass industry is introducing new technologies making larger glass available,” McCoy says. “And we are rising to the occasion, designing new and innovative products to accommodate this advancement with great success.”

“We create large, modern-style windows and doors that operate smoothly, require little maintenance and last for decades.”

THE MATERIAL OF CHOICE ALUMINUM Aluminum has become the material of choice for windows and doors because of its inherent strength, beauty and versatility.

Since 1961, Fleetwood Windows & Doors has been using this fantastic resource to create its enduring windows and doors. As the most green and sustainable window material, aluminum is in high demand in luxury modern home designs across the country.

To meet this demand along with the growing movement in green design, Fleetwood has applied thermal technology to its shapes to improve energy efficiency. Additionally, as insulated glass becomes available in larger sizes, the company continues to innovate with new aluminum products to accommodate today’s changing market.

HUBBARDTON FORGE OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

Lighting designer and manufacturer Hubbardton Forge has helped extend interior residential spaces seamlessly to the outdoors with its equally aesthetic and functional light fixtures. “Today, we think about the ‘home’ differently. It doesn’t end at the back door,” says David Kitts, design director at Hubbardton Forge. “People want to live fully, both indoors and out. We have given a lot of thought, during the creative process, to materials and finishes that stand the test of time and weather.” This vigorous approach distinguishes the company, which has, despite its success, maintained its handcrafted, domestically made values. Founded (and still based) in Vermont, Hubbardton Forge makes sure that, as Kitts notes, “Any piece leaving the forge is touched by multiple hands throughout the process of its creation. When you look at a Hubbardton Forge lighting fixture, you’re seeing the artistic achievements of a team dedicated to design.”

WESTERN WINDOW SYSTEMS OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

The popularity of outdoor living continues to surge at a record pace with consumers prioritizing these spaces as critical to a home’s overall look, feel and design. One trend growing in popularity is 90-degree multi-slide doors which, according to Scott Gates, president and CEO of Western Window Systems, “enable consumers to utilize moving glass walls to open up two walls of their home and flow the kitchen and living room to the outside.” Sustainability is also key, and an essential part of the design process at Western Window Systems. “Outdoor living is enabling consumers to leave a smaller carbon footprint,” Gates continues. “By making their outdoor patio a true feature and living space of the home, consumers are now able to build smaller, smarter homes. We believe everyone deserves the ability to open up their home on a beautiful day to entertain guests, laugh around the fire pit and enjoy a beverage.”

“We create products that are taller, wider and with more glass than anyone else in the industry. ”

Thus, enjoying the best of outdoor living is at the heart of luxury outdoor furniture manufacturer, CASTELLE. “Every outdoor space should incorporate elements for lounging, cooking, dining and entertainment,” CEO Steve Lowsky says. “And each room within the outdoor space should provide comfort, durability and the opportunity for showcasing personal style.” With the multitude of options available in outdoor decor today, styles can be mixed and matched according to homeowners’ preferences, such as with CASTELLE’s new Vertice line. Designed with contemporary styling, oversize seating and sleek angular lines, the diverse collection complements any home or owner’s lifestyle.

A ROOM WITH A HUE RICH PALETTES AND DRAMATIC CONTRASTS BRING ENERGY, PERSONALITY AND MAJOR STYLE TO THE HOME’S MOST-FREQUENTED ROOMS. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY MICHELLE BRUNNER

While it’s safe to say we are still living in the era of the all-white kitchen and bath, there’s no denying even the smallest flourish of color can cast an irresistible spell. After all, 90 percent of what we take in via our senses comes to us through the gift of sight, and there’s little that commands our vision more than bright, beautiful color. No wonder a palette change has the power to reinvigorate a tired cook space or bring spa-like serenity to a bath. A color refresh offers a fearless antidote to what are often neutral utilitarian spaces, and who knows that better than designers? For some it’s a minor dalliance—the oft-quoted “pop of color” comes to mind—while for others, it’s a full-blown affair with a particular shade, as in this stunning forest green kitchen. Whatever your style, join us as we make the case for painting with bold strokes.

For this cozy cook space, the team at deVOL Kitchens chose a deep shade that is a cross between emerald and British racing green to conjure an old-world vibe. Brass hardware from Perrin & Rowe adds sparkle, while Arabascato marble provides contrast.

GREEN SCENE

DEVOL KITCHENS This British company is leading the way in kitchen design, offering a fresh take on traditional English style. For this particular project, designer Helen Robson employed unexpected color to create depth and drama. devolkitchens.co.uk

How do you usually bring personality into the kitchen? While open shelves are practical, they also allow the client to display a bit of character, whether it’s through a collection of bowls or, in this case, lots of old paintings. A kitchen is so much more than a utilitarian space and having an area to display something personal helps to create a warm, welcoming feel.

What’s your favorite thing about this design? I love that this kitchen is actually a really simple design of four bespoke cabinets. Simplicity is key in carrying off such a daring color choice. Of course, I also absolutely love the room’s originality and how it’s totally infused with the personality of the client. It never felt like she was trying to copy a look, but to devise something that was completely her own.

Share your vision for this project. Our client’s father was an antiques collector; so, we wanted to create something that really reflected that old gentleman’s club look. Dark colors are very of the moment, particularly green. In addition to being on trend, green also evokes nature. Part of the reason it works so well in this kitchen is that it ties the whole space together and brings about a cozy feel in an otherwise cavernous space.

WALL

The ever-popular color blocking trend isn’t confi ned to the runway. For this Laurel Canyon, California, kitchen, architect Barbara Bestor used a wall of dark blue and walnut cabinetry to anchor a predominantly white space. “The not-quite navy is a classic color, but here it feels modern,” says Bestor. Carrying the walnut through to the island and incorporating handmade ceramic lights by Heather Levine help balance the angular lines with more organic elements. The result: a cook space that’s sleek without sacrificing warmth. bestorarchitecture.com

When a stove is the star attraction, the supporting players need to stay relatively neutral, as in this family kitchen from Sarah Richardson Design.

“The client requested the La Cornue range, so we decided to go bold with the color and mix metals for interest,” says designer Natalie Hodgins, who, along with Kate Stuart, helmed the project for the firm. Keeping the fixed elements, such as the soft gray millwork and honed marble countertops, quiet allows the bright blue stove and hood to steal the show. sarahrichardsondesign.com

PATTERN MAKER

Whether used in a backsplash or underfoot, tile is a sure way to dial up the pizzazz in the kitchen. Proving that even the classics can benefi t from a revamp, both subway and hexagonal styles feel exciting when rendered in new colors and finishes, as demonstrated in the above offering from Clé. The company’s latest hex collection features subtle color blocking in blush and coral shades and can be rotated numerous ways to produce different, graphic designs. cletile.com

Artisan Tracy Glover uses traditional Italian techniques to craft exuberant, one-of-a-kind handblown glass lights in a multitude of shapes, patterns and colors.

In this master bath, situated in a Victorian townhouse in the heart of Notting Hill, London, a Spey castiron tub from Drummonds provides the perfect canvas for color. Brass fixtures were left unlacquered and unpolished to allow them to age naturally and acquire a rich patina and golden color. On the wall behind the tub is a vintage Art Deco screen, sourced from France.

Soft hues make spaces feel serene, so it’s no wonder muted tones are a perennial choice for the bath. A far cry from the retro bubblegum pink lavatories of yesteryear, today’s pastels pack their biggest punch when used sparingly. Here, a colorful roll-top cast-iron soaker picks up a pale coral from the whimsical patchwork tile floor.

Shades of salmon, cream, cobalt and olive blend to form a space that doesn’t so much jolt you awake as ease you gracefully into the day. For more clever ways to bring color into the bath, turn the page. drummonds-uk.com

PALETTE PLEASER

Picturesque Brentwood is captured perfectly in the springtime lushness of this hand-painted wallcovering, offering a taste of paradise for this formal dining room designed by Meg Joannides. 1 / Carte Blanc: Take advantage of grand spaces by experimenting with more complex art for your walls. Every painterly detail of this wallcovering has room to breathe while making a perfect conversation starter for those gathered around the table. 2 / Neutral Revival: Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to compete with the illustrative detail; instead of bold colors, opt for neutral hues, like in the soft taupe of the textured area rug and dining chair slipcovers, to act as complements in the space. 3 / Room with a View: Forgo the formal chandelier and preserve a clear sight line to your dramatic wallcovering with more simple lighting. The delicate framework of this lantern-inspired pendant adds quiet architectural interest overhead while letting the artwork shine through. 4 / Garden Variety: Continue the idyllic charm of your provincial wallcovering with some rustic decor accents. This trio of worn wooden urns, filled with hydrangeas in full bloom, makes the perfect companion piece.

1 / Color Relief: Media rooms need not be rendered in drab monotones. Instead, go for a distinctive wallpaper, like this famed print, for a home theater that looks just as cinematic when a movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not playing. 2 / True Character: Cast against type and pair your high-glamour wallpaper with effortless furnishings: Plush beanbags and artfully rumpled slipcovers on the settees offset the lavish walls for a more approachable space. 3 / High Contrast: Add to the cabana feel of this tropical print with dark wood accents, from the ceiling beams to the wall-length media console. 4 / Red Carpet Treatment: Honor your daring walls with some equally striking design underfoot, such as this patchwork area rug, which harmonizes well with the wallpaper thanks to its neutral hues.

Free-spirited West Coast style takes a subdued turn thanks to Katie Ridder’s Leaf wallpaper, which imbibes just enough suzani charm for this Santa Monica bedroom designed by Betsy Burnham and Max Humphrey. 1 / Balancing Act: Make more ornate patterns work for your room by selecting styles with generous negative space. The wallpaper’s large-scale design creates a graphic impact while still preserving the bedroom’s tranquil palette. 2 / Blended Family: Create interesting layers in your space by playing with patterns like the designers did here, pairing the decorative wallcovering with other prints via the Madeline Weinrib Mandala carpet and an adjacent striped rug, as well as some eclectic throw pillows for good measure. 3 / The Big Picture: Pattern shouldn’t preclude you from displaying your favorite artwork on the wall, as evidenced by the pastoral painting over the bed; just be sure to play with the scale of the prints to keep them from looking too busy. 4 / Rise and Shine: Introduce some high-gloss finishes into your space (see the pretty Horchow mirrored chest) as a sleek departure from the more ornate wallpaper.

AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE LATEST TIPS, TRICKS AND TRENDS TO BRIGHTEN UP YOUR HOME. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER

TECHNICOLOR VISION With the arrival of spring comes a riot of color.

Consider the brilliant yellow of daffodils or the bluish-purple of hyacinths bursting forth from the ground. But why should Mother Nature have all the fun? This period of rebirth and renewal is the perfect time to rethink color inside the home. For the last few seasons, white walls have dominated the design space, but tastemakers are now slowly turning to saturated hues and bold brights that command attention, as in the vibrant and cheery sitting room shown here. “Your home affects your mood, so why not make it a happy place?” says the room’s designer, Rebekah Caudwell. Over the next few pages, come along with us for a lively romp through the many colors on the spectrum.

HAUTE HUE

There’s a reason fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli’s signature shade was “shocking pink.” The fearless style maverick believed the vivid color had life-giving properties. No wonder designer Amanda Nisbet chose a similar fuchsia for the dining room of this Park Avenue apartment in New York. “The saturated pink silk walls are luxuriously sexy, while still being cozy and welcoming—the perfect atmosphere for a successful evening,” she says. amandanisbetdesign.com

PRETTY IN

Shaking off its girly connotation, blush has emerged in the last year as an unconventional yet versatile neutral. Here, it lends a merengue-like quality to a plush, velvet club chair. With its channel-back design, the Charlotte armchair by India Mahdavi is strikingly sculptural and elegant. It’s proof that this particular shade of pink is all grown-up now. ralphpucci.net

Just like a good book can be an escape from reality, a library should be a haven from the outside world. For this Greenwich Village apartment, New York-based design firm Tilton Fenwick blanketed the library walls in a rich teal lacquer, a color inspired by the classic Schumacher print in which the sofa is upholstered. “Since the room has no windows, the lacquer envelops the space, creating a jewel box effect,” says the firm’s founder Anne Maxwell Foster.

We can’t think of a more stimulating environment in which to while away a few hours. tiltonfenwick.com

For this luxury apartment on the Rue Bonaparte in Paris, designer Gérard Faivre looked to the building’s Second Empire pedigree for inspiration.

“Emblematic colors from that era—oranges, greens, blues and shades of gold—symbolized wealth and luxury, and now bring sparkle to the home,” he says. With its friendly, convivial atmosphere and bistro table and chairs, the space also pays homage to the chic cafes of its neighborhood, Saint Germain-des-Prés. gerardfaivreparis.com

Austin-based designer Elizabeth Mollen of Stone Textile found inspiration for this living room in an unusual source: her client’s collection of midcentury flamingo prints. “We picked a deep-blue wall color and used that as a starting point, then pulled colors from the artwork,” says Mollen. A violet rug, pale lavender upholstered sofas and a green malachite stool add to the color story, creating a subtle and sophisticated jewel-toned palette that’s definitely not for the birds. stonetextilestudio.com

RENOVATION Renovation means transformation. Whether changing the foundation or improving your home’s flow, increasing the function of a kitchen and bath, or upgrading windows for energy savings, communication is key to any project’s success. While aesthetics plays a starring role when it comes to reasons to renovate, increasing the value and character of one’s home have found an even greater level of importance. Giving rise to the world of renovations is the great outdoors, where decks, rooftops, hardscapes and more have found a new home, so to speak. When taking on any project, industry pros remain committed to incorporating “green” alternatives—creating a healthier world and home, inside and out.

Windows and doors are often the most overlooked when it comes to renovating, but in truth, they are the most important and impactful in terms of look, style and function. “Changing the entry door can update the look of the entire home,” say Don and Dan Smith, owners and principals of Agoura Sash & Door. “And replacement windows can enable more energy efficiency, usage and a fresh new look.” One of the biggest trends the Smith brothers have noted is the shift toward expanding living spaces, changing out windows and smaller door openings, to create large glass wall openings. “Customers are renovating to include a modern design with clean lines and large window/door openings with aluminum and glass,” Don says.

From replacement windows, to aluminum, wood and vinyl, the company’s options are endless. “In the building industry, it is very important to find a window, door and finish material supplier that is able to exceed customer service expectations,” Dan says.

“Our 10,000-square-foot showroom allows customers to touch and feel products, and visualize their project when complete.”

HOMEOWNER TIPS FOR RENO SUCCESS

Plan and communicate with your architect/designer and builder. Ensure they understand your goals and what is most important to you.

Engage in the process by providing details of how you envision the living spaces to be used; be proactive and ask questions.

Know that there will always be bumps in the road and no project goes without challenges and decisions along the way.

Take it all in stride, and remember that in the end you will enjoy the benefits of this project for many years to come.

RENOVATION 101 1.

Research and understand your overall projected costs.

2. Review all window and door manufacturer options and details with the dealer.

3. Evaluate each product’s energy performance against Title 24 requirements.

4. Hire a seasoned, qualified contractor who understands the type of renovation or construction project you are planning.

Between the Sheets of Orange County and Los Angeles has helped adorn countless interior spaces with its sumptuous furnishings, fabrics, accessories and bedroom and bathroom linens. The company’s talented staff assists homeowners and designers with large and small residential interior renovations and offers insight to what works—and what doesn’t work—in today’s updated homes. For starters, adding color in repetition over a backdrop of neutrals is a small yet impactful change for an interior. Selecting white, ivory or taupe for walls, floors and furnishings can help ensure a more timeless interior. However, bed scarves, seemingly futile strips of fabric that lay atop a bed, are superfluous, the company’s staff observes. Instead, use a throw to embellish a bed top, which offers utility and decoration.

“When renovating a home, become involved at the start. Begin with neutrals, add color. Be patient.”

HOLLYWOOD SIERRA KITCHENS Los Angeles | California | 310.659.9290 | hollywoodsierra.com

For Peter Grisdela and Gerry Bross, co-owners of Hollywood Sierra Kitchens, there’s no better compliment than when a client comes back to them after moving to a new home, asking to replicate the kitchen they designed for their old house. “When the style of the new home is drastically different from the original one, it provides an interesting yet fun challenge to meld the style of the prior kitchen with the new home,” Grisdela says. Known for their kitchen and bath renovations, Grisdela and Bross have noticed clients are expanding the scope of their renovation projects, incorporating adjoining areas to the kitchen, for example, to create a cohesive look throughout. “Homeowners are asking for renovations that reflect their family and lifestyle needs with an eye toward improving the value of their homes, making them more beautiful and more functional,” Bross says.

“Sometimes just removing a wall, or a section of a wall, allows sight lines to be improved, fixture and appliance placement to be optimized, and creates the illusion of more space.”

“The demolition process doesn’t need to involve sledgehammers and dumpsters anymore,” Bross says. “By carefully removing old products in a renovation, many of the items can be donated to organizations, such as the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, a home improvement thrift store that provides funds for their building projects. Our clients love knowing that they are helping others while keeping materials out of landfills.”

“We are seeing an increased interest in home offices with beautiful cabinetry, as well as innovative cabinetry inserts, such as cutlery trays, integrated spice racks, knife blocks and more to help our clients get more organized,” Grisdela says.

“Decorative porcelain is also making its mark. Not only can it be used for cabinetry inserts, but also for flooring and countertops ... giving us some interesting options to bring to our clients. Lastly, LED lighting has been such a plus for our kitchen design projects, not only because it’s substantially ‘greener,’ but the color and effect are more beautiful. Plugand-play technology makes it easy to install and use, and as a result, it’s less expensive to install and maintain.”

1. Maple in a soft painted finish forms the cabinetry in this kitchen, complementing the home’s traditional aesthetic. Pendant lampshades above the island further the warm feel of the space.

nterior designer Paul Vincent Wiseman refers to “the long body of our memory”—a metaphor he uses to describe his work at the Bel-Air home of longtime clients. As he puts it, “We bring our past and our future simultaneously to a place. I’m pulling the house from the past but also projecting it into the future.” The past of which he speaks is the ornate Beaux Arts home on San Francisco’s Nob Hill that he decorated for these clients, and the future is the home in Bel-Air that looks nothing like it.

Actress Judy Garland originally commissioned the house from architect Wallace Neff in 1938. It is airy and open, situated on 2 1/2 acres with a pool and writer’s cabin in back; and though the exterior exudes old-line East Coast style, the interior layout is classic L.A. casual.

The owners had considered buying it in the mid-1970s before decamping to San Francisco to work and raise two daughters—they bought it on the spot when it came back on the market shortly after they retired and returned south. “I walked in and fell in love,” the husband says. “It almost took my breath away.” Adds the wife: “It had been beautifully restored. You feel the serenity as you walk in.”

The owners had no problem abandoning their Beaux Arts aesthetic—and many precious antiques—to create a new environment. “We love good design and what’s appropriate for a place,” the wife says. “Nob Hill felt like a Parisian apartment, but what was right for Nob Hill isn’t right for L.A.—in a canyon, with a more casual lifestyle.”

To that end, they instructed the San Francisco-based Wiseman, along with design principal Brenda Mickel and associate design principal Jessica Redondo, to go where the house led them. “Because we trust Paul completely, we gave him no directive,” the wife says. “We asked him to tell the story of the house.”

The story had already begun with the previous owner’s beautiful renovations to the kitchen and bathrooms, and all the rooms were painted pearly gray, which provided a

“WE BRING OUR PAST AND OUR FUTURE SIMULTANEOUSLY TO A PLACE.” —PAUL VINCENT WISEMAN

LX_NA35_CA42_HOM_Wiseman_18.indd 236

pleasing neutral setting for the team to move forward. “It was in perfect condition,” Wiseman says. Mickel agrees.

“We didn’t have to change anything,” she says, “which is incredibly unusual for our firm.” The designers added to the foundation by using gauzy linen Roman shades throughout the house to establish a visual flow and sisal rugs with Ultrasuede grid lines that connect the spaces in the first-floor rooms. “It was a detail as well to add that trim so it wasn’t a vast amount of sisal,” Redondo says. The color scheme emerged from those gray walls and the wife’s collection of pale pink, blue and celadon vases that came from Nob Hill and now grace the master bedroom mantel. “They were in these dreamy colors, so we just built around that,” Mickel says.

Wiseman’s “long body of our memory” perspective informed how the home would be furnished. Antiques that made the cut from San Francisco were used sparingly in the new interiors, and the furnishings that survived were reupholstered in glazed linens. “All the new furniture was very contemporary, and all the old furniture was covered in contemporary fabrics,” Wiseman says. Most of the new furnishings are custom—the curved seating in the home’s prominent bay windows and the modern sectional and stitched-leather coffee table in the sun room—while the owners’ surviving antiques get top billing wherever they are placed. The deep honeyed finish on matching antique rosewood chairs in the living room, for example, stands sharply in contrast to the pale linens around them. “We tried to use fewer antiques but let them be special, so they would stand out as sculpture,” Wiseman says. The same idea applies to the foyer’s 19th-century French commode topped with two stark-white plaster lamps in the style of Giacometti. A gilded Japanese screen in the dining room, meanwhile, looks across the room—and the centuries—to a grid of Marc Chagall prints, all of them grounded with Madeline Stuart chairs sporting pared-down neoclassical silhouettes. “We took their traditional roots and peeled them back,” Redondo says of the effect. Likewise, in the master bedroom, Wiseman upholstered a four-poster bed and the owners’ existing armchair in linens, bringing a set of English nesting tables into focus—just enough of a traditional touch but not too much.

As for the home’s own place in Hollywood lore and architectural pedigree, Wiseman says that Neff’s layout was a joy to work with. “He understood proportions beautifully, and he got that storybook ambience down,” the interior designer says. But the only spirit inhabiting the house belongs to the owner. “You feel a lot of glamour in this house,” Mickel says, “but that really stems from the wife—she’s a really understated, glamorous woman.”

t seems unlikely that a very 1980s house in Rustic Canyon could be transformed into a home that simultaneously evokes the understated, timeless Colonial buildings of centuries past and the thoroughly modern structures of the present. But the house, owned by film composer Harry Gregson-Williams and his wife, Erin, proves that such a transfiguration is entirely possible. The couple placed the project in the capable hands of architect Tim Barber and supervising project manager Kirk Snyder, as well as interior designers Joe Lucas and Parrish Chilcoat. “Where the house is Colonial, we used lap siding, board-and-batten wainscoting and a standing-seam metal roof, which all have the vernacular of a historical American farmhouse,” Barber says. “But on the interior, there’s a partial glass ceiling, steel-framed windows

and both metal and wood beams. It’s a dynamic juxtaposition of elements that are interesting but not inconsistent.”

When Harry and Erin, who have five children, first discovered their house, its architectural style was somewhat irrelevant, given its proximity to a beloved park they frequented. However, “The layout didn’t make sense,” Erin says. “The master was on a different level than the other bedrooms. And Harry needed a music studio so he could do some work from home.” After living there for about five years, they turned to Barber and Snyder, masters at blending traditional and modern styles. “They specifically requested the look of a classic farmhouse,” Barber says.

To achieve the simplified aesthetic, the architects took the structure down almost to the studs. “We maintained the L-shaped footprint and kept the steel framework, exposed

wood beams and parts of the glass ceiling,” Snyder says.

The existing glass, in combination with the steel-framed windows and the clerestories, floods the rooms with views and sunlight, linking the house to its California landscape.

Other aspects, such as the preserved oak beams, the new board-and-batten wainscoting and lap siding, and the white-oak paneling of the foyer, pay tribute to a farmhouse aesthetic. The architectural team also reorganized the rooms, consolidating the main living spaces along one wing and placing the bedrooms, including the master bedroom, in the other, and gave Harry a recording studio.

Inspired by the architecture, Lucas and Chilcoat outfitted the interiors with fashionable yet timeless furnishings. “We chose a lot of traditional-style furniture and contemporary pieces too,” says Chilcoat, who took the lead on the project and now has a new firm, Cameron Design Group. “The mix creates tension. None of it looks predictable.” Perhaps the furthest thing from predictable is the wallpaper by Black Crow Studios that looks like a watercolor painting covering an entire wall in the dining room. “It has shades of blue and green,” Chilcoat says. “The ceiling is glass, so we chose colors found in nature. We didn’t want it to fight with what was going on outside.” Like the wallcovering, a massive Currey & Company chandelier with dozens of blue-green discs that resemble sea glass makes a big statement in the space. “The fixture and the wallpaper anchor the room, which has vaulted ceilings and is filled with light,” Lucas says.

“Everything else is simple. There’s a custom reclaimed wood table and vintage chairs upholstered with faux leather.”

The designers continued the palette throughout the rest of the house. In the living room, four custom roll-arm armchairs upholstered with blue linen surround a custom octagonal ottoman covered with teal leather. “The tone of the linen is similar to the paint color of the built-in bookshelves,” Chilcoat says. “Harry has an amazing book collection, and I knew a lot of color would come from the bindings.

was a subtle approach. If we’d done different colors, the eye would focus on that and not the beams, the sunlight and the texture of the architecture.”

The architectural team, with the help of builder and construction manager Levi Powell, created various play and entertaining spaces at the rear of the ascending site. “There’s a terrace on the ground level and a mid-level deck with a fire pit and a casual dining area,” Barber says. At the top are a new pool, a sundeck and a remodeled pool house. Of the labor-intensive process to install the pool, Powell says, “We excavated for the pool with a machine that carried small loads of earth down a steep path that was carved into the hillside.

We drove it through the house, into the front yard, down a ramp at the entry, and to the street.” Landscape designer Patricia Benner revived the grounds in the front of the house

LX_CA42_HOM_Hightree_14.indd 259

and planted a Podocarpus hedge with star jasmine at its base to create privacy and a welcoming feeling. For the back gardens, says Benner, “On the slope below the beautiful native sycamore, I planted a variety of flowering plants and shrubs for enjoyment from both the lower and upper patios. Plantings included a mix of blues, lavenders, dark greens and grays from a combination of Ceanothus Carmel Creeper, lavender, salvias, rosemary and phlomis.”

The Gregson-Williamses always knew they had found the perfect lot—now their home is idyllic too. “When you walk into the house, you immediately see a huge window in the dining room and what’s right outside,” Lucas says. “You see the canyon and the sky, and it’s a very California moment. The furnishings and the colors we chose speak to that. They’re traditional in style, but they’re also young and fresh.”

CREATING TRANQUIL SCULPTURES OUT OF CANVAS, A DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES ARTIST PROVES NEUTRALS ARE ANYTHING BUT PLAIN AND SIMPLE. WRITTEN BY TARYN BICKLEY PHOTOGRAPHY BY JESSICA SAMPLE

LX_CA42_SM_MaryLittle.indd 267

1/30/17 6:06 PM

Seated at her sewing machine, artist Mary Little (below, right) creates hanging cloth sculptures in her downtown Los Angeles studio; behind her is the wall where she displays samples in development. In Little’s hands, clips, scissors and a tape measure (bottom) are the tools that turn unbleached canvas into quiet yet compelling forms; rolled work (below, left) provides a close-up of her methodical approach. A completed piece dubbed Campbell (opposite) is shown behind a console table of Little’s own design. Spontaneity is a hallmark of her practice—she can never predict exactly how a piece will look in its final incarnation.

I

’ve always thought of myself as a sculptor,” admits Mary Little. Working with unbleached, natural canvases in varying sizes, the Los Angeles-based artist explores the balance of proportion and scale, and of tranquility and rhythm through landscape themes drawn from her childhood in County Down, Northern Ireland. “I grew up on a farm surrounded by grassland and dotted with little hills called drumlins. There are boulders, lots of mud and cracks, but the landscape, like my work, is soft and gentle.”

To create the sculptures she calls tapestries, first come simple drawings and sketches.

“They’re almost diagrams to help me develop what’s in my head,” she explains. “I’ll then select and edit.” Next, she translates the sketches into line drawings that function like paper dress patterns. “I cut these shapes out of artist canvas and sew them together,” she explains. “It sounds so straightforward—it’s not. I make many trails I then reject, or I may absorb them into a work along with other patterns or modify them. There’s so much trial and error, so much reflection.”

Moving from the East Coast to L.A. in 2014, Little wasn’t sure her work would fit in. Concerned that the aesthetic of her earlier pieces was too

bold and bright, she sought a different voice and message. “The ivory canvases have a tranquility to them—a quietness,” she says, adding that the vibe wouldn’t have happened had she been working back east. The repetitive folds and irregularities stretch across each flat surface, creating shadows that transform with the light throughout the day.

Before Little worked in cloth, she was an acclaimed furniture designer. “I went to art school thinking I would become a fashion designer then took a brief furniture design class and was hooked,” she recalls. “It encompassed so much of what I was interested in—sculpture, fashion, making and thinking for myself.” Little still takes on client commissions, but her focus is on her tapestries and their endless possibilities.

Working from her sun-filled loft downtown, Little just debuted her fifth series in February.

Influenced by her mother’s knitting, it features “complex patterns within patterns and textures within textures,” she shares. While deep sentiments permeate each piece, her motivation is to create an image where people can get lost and absorbed. “There is such surprise in the fabric once it’s hung up,” says Little. “I can never predict what will happen.”

P

atrick Dragonette feels ambivalent about the term “Hollywood Regency,” which he says has become a catchall more often than not applied to kitsch from the 1960s and ’70s. So a moment, please, to correct misconceptions.

“There’s a certain theatricality, which is what most people associate with the style,” says Dragonette, who co-owns a namesake gallery on La Cienega Boulevard that carries many objects and furnishings authentically related to the design style, including the work of William Haines, one of its principal proponents.

Authenticity is any antiques dealer’s primary concern, but it took on special relevance as Dragonette and his partner in both life and work, Charles Tucker, set out to create their dream home. The house they purchased was in Palm Desert’s Marrakesh Country Club, designed

by John Elgin Woolf late in his career. Like Haines, Woolf was a master of the Hollywood Regency style, having created homes for the likes of Lillian Gish, Bob Hope, Cary Grant, Barbara Stanwyck, Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. And though this residence was built in 1978, the last stage of the club’s development, the men still wanted to honor Woolf’s legacy.

Dragonette and Tucker had what they called “some nonnegotiables,” which they hired builder Larry Deason III to implement. Tucker’s list included a matte finish for the floors and plush carpet in the bedrooms. Additionally, most Woolf homes boast Pullman doors, but in this case the house “had a single door that looked like a pair,” says Dragonette.

“I really insisted that we have the total Woolf Pullman door experience, and so we replaced the single with a pair of 2-foot-wide doors and new vintage hardware.”

Additional tweaks were made to the structure. “There was a tendency to close off rooms in the 1960s,” says Deason, “so anywhere we could, we pushed soffits higher and put doorways in, which really helped open it up and let in more light. And there was a little niche in the garage,

“OUR MAIN GOAL WAS THAT WE AND OUR GUESTS BE COMFORTABLE. WE DIDN’T TIE IT DOWN TO ONE STYLE.” -PATRICK DRAGONETTE

probably for golf cart parking, that was odd.” That area was appropriated to enlarge the guest suite.

The couple also asked Deason to expand a wall in the entry to create a grander sense of arrival. Giving it Hollywood Regency theatricality, they swathed it in a wallcovering that simulated black patent leather and created an arresting vignette from a striking contemporary gold-leaf wall-hung console, a turn-of-the-century stool upholstered in a tiger pattern, Hervé Van der Straeten sconces, and objects that wittily juxtaposed periods. This set the tone for the entire residence.

“Our main goal was that we and our guests be comfortable,” says Dragonette. “We didn’t tie it down to one simple style. There are nods to Grand Tour, Maison Jansen midcentury pieces, Billy Haines, Moorish influences”—in other words, a free-wheeling mix that, like the Hollywood Regency of Woolf (and Haines and Dorothy Draper), implies a sense of relaxed opulence and pairs period and modern objects with drollness and style.

There is a lot of white, though, says Dragonette, adding that it’s a shade “with just enough gray to make it warmer and contrast with the white trim and floor.” Because the dining room is visible from the enormous 18-by-28-foot living room, a wallcovering in a deeper shade of gray was deployed to acknowledge its separate identity while still harmonizing with the larger space. Bolder color infusions were mostly reserved for art and some upholstery.

The couple had a treasure trove of inventory from which to draw for furnishings. Some carried distinguished pedigrees, such as the Serge Mouille chandelier in the dining room and the modernist iron-and-calcite table lamp designed by William Haines for Sidney and Frances Brody’s legendary home in Holmby Hills. “I have always said that the criteria I use at the store is, ‘If I had to live with it, could I?’ and so in some ways this house is proof.

There are things that seem to have waited to find their place here,” Dragonette says. There are also custom pieces, such as the agate kitchen chandelier and a blue sheep in the living room that pays homage to Claude and Francois-Xavier Lalanne.

But, Dragonette says, he also shopped more popular resources such as West Elm—for the mirrors in the master bathroom retrofitted to hang from the ceiling—and RH—for the klismos chairs in the dining room for their classical reference. The point was not to create a paint-by-numbers version of Hollywood Regency but to imbue rooms with the spirit of the period in a way that works for today.

Naturally, as collectors themselves, Dragonette and Tucker were uniquely positioned to achieve that spirit, and the results would likely please Woolf immensely. Yet like all collectors, there is another, arguably more primal, impulse informing the couple’s personal, pitch-perfect twist on Hollywood Regency: “I have always said I only buy what I love,” says Dragonette. “So, basically, I am a man of my word.”

A John Millei oil defines a living room seating area in Patrick Dragonette and Charles Tuckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Palm Desert home by legendary architect John Elgin Woolf. Before it stand a vintage klismos chair and a sheep from Dragonette and Tuckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gallery, pointing to the singular, witty vibe of the residence. Running through most of the residence is Mirage flooring from SpecCeramics.

Two Claude Lalanne bronzesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Pomme Bouche, atop the mantel, and La Dormeuse, in front of the fireplaceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; also grace the space. Positioned in front are a pair of 1980s J. Robert Scott tub chairs. The table between was made from a 19th-century elephant-form mantel clock.

Above: Scalamandré’s Tigre design covers circa-1920 French fauteuils in another of the living room’s seating areas. They flank a John Dickinson table from David Sutherland accented by a selenite William Haines lamp acquired at Christie’s. Behind, against the wallcovering by Astek, is a mixed-media David Bell work. A painting by Mike Cockrill can be spied in the adjacent hallway.

Opposite: Though the dining room is open to the rest of the living area, the Phillip Jeffries wallcovering from Holly Hunt sets it apart. RH’s oak klismos chairs bring a balancing historical element to the space, which also features Scala Luxury parchment veneer chests with John Millei works on paper above them and a Serge Mouille ceiling fixture.

Marmara marble tiles from Stonehouse line the walls, while faux-wood porcelain tiles from SpecCeramics are on the floor.

Left: The gray-lavender hue of the master bedroom distinguishes it from the rest of the house. Topping vintage William Haines chests are custom lamps from Dragonette; between sits an RH iron bed. A sculptural floor lamp from Lamps Plus enables night reading in the vintage Liaigre club chairs upholstered by Del Rey Upholstery in Romo fabric from Thomas Lavin. Underfoot is a Shaw Floors carpet from Lester Carpet Company.

The vintage Salterini chair and chaises were sourced from an estate sale, and Del Rey Upholstery created tailored cushions of Sunbrella fabric from Home Fabrics & Trims embellished with a neat white grosgrain trim.
