EDITOR’S LETTER

This issue is largely dedicated to homegrown design and to the independent makers and companies who are dialing into the made-in-America movement.

To be sure, we live in a time where there are no clear-cut guidelines in design (perhaps there never were). Thanks to globalization, social media and the flood of visuals that pass our eyes daily, the sartorial choices we make for our homes are broad and vast, as they should be. Yet there is no denying the underlying current of old-school craftsmanship permeating the landscape. Call it “Americana Chic.”

Stamp it “Made in America.” Today, homeowners are embracing all things artisanal, authentic and local. They want to know where the objects being brought into their homes are made and by whom.

Makers in cities across the country (who we happily uncover in every issue of Luxe) are responding with thoughtfully crafted forms and materials that appeal to the new sensibility.

Ultimately, of course, 21st-century design is a mix; a multicultural mash-up of ideas, with, perhaps, a pinch of Florence, a dose of Athens and, for good measure, a smattering of Detroit.

CONTRIBUTORS

BEHIND THE SCENES GET TO KNOW A FEW OF OUR CONTRIBUTORS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS THEY TALK ALL THINGS DESIGN. PRODUCED BY SARAH RAMIREZ

LAURA MAUK

Writer / Washington, D.C. What made you want to become a writer? Curiosity. I love finding out why individuals think the way they do. I also enjoy stringing words together in what I hope is a painterly way that gives people understanding or lets them see something differently. If I could interview anyone, it would be…

Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keeffe, Frank Lloyd Wright or Donald Judd. They were all revolutionaries with such unique visions and strong characters. Each of them led an interesting life, making iconic art and architecture in authentic and thoughtful ways. Is there anything intriguing you currently in the world of design? I love the way design continues to connect to nature with lots of glass, sunlight and simple, organic materials.

Form and texture have evolved and, as a result, I feel that buildings and furniture today are much more dynamic.

Photographer / New York

If you could shoot anywhere in the U.S., where would it be? I would love to have the opportunity to experience, and also photograph, James Turrell’s Roden Crater in Arizona. His work is all about light, space and how we as viewers perceive our surroundings.

Most memorable Luxe assignment: A Hamptons house with the talented Jennifer Post. Light is a critical feature for every architectural or interiors shoot and, in this case, the changing weather conditions worked perfectly throughout our day—cloudy or sunny when we needed it! What type of architecture inspires you? Truly bespoke structures that elegantly solve problems and create energetic, livable spaces. I’ve had a longtime collaboration with architect Ali Tayar, and the houses he has designed—from Rhode Island to Beirut—embody this approach with refinement and finesse. Documenting these environments is both challenging and invigorating.

COM_LX6_Contributors_098.indd 98

JOE FLETCHER

Photographer / San Francisco Biggest influences: Creatives in the worlds of art, photography and film, especially the work of Edward Burtynsky, Robert Polidori, Thomas Demand and Jeff Wall.

Most exciting thing happening in design today: The amount of design that’s shared worldwide via social media. What type of architecture do you find most impactful? Quiet, minimalistic architecture—designs that let nature do the talking. If I could splurge on anything… It would be on a trip to Greece for my family so we can enjoy the turquoise sea and fried cheeses in the shade. Or a piece by Thomas Demand.

LINDA HAYES

Writer / Colorado Favorite Luxe interview: It was for a home on Vancouver Island. On an early meeting with the architect, Brian Hemingway, the owner of the house watched him take out a pen and just start drawing; he told me that observing him was such a magical part of the process. The image that conjured up has always stuck with me. My biggest design influence comes from… The process of architecture and its ability to transform the simplest idea into an elegant, functional structure. It reminds me that creativity is about both the journey and the destination. Who is the most fascinating person you’ve ever met? Charles Smith, owner of Charles Smith Wines in Walla Walla, Washington. He’s a bigger-thanlife personality, an intuitive thinker and a brilliant marketer. He led the recent design of his new Seattle winery, as well as the restoration of his midcentury house, with local architect Tom Kundig. Impressive!

HOME GROWN FURNITURE PRODUCTION RETURNS STATESIDE IN WHAT IS PROVING TO BE A REBIRTH OF THE AMERICAN CRAFTSMAN. WRITTEN BY MIEKE TEN HAVE / PRODUCED BY ARLYN HERNANDEZ

F

or American furniture production, the yen for substantive, enduring quality— something commonplace only decades ago—has certainly reached a fever pitch in a day where genuineness in products is all but profuse. This nostalgic zeitgeist is ushering in a new wave of makers from various disciplines and perspectives, each bound by the desire to create in unique, original ways.

“Design is the key,” says Sara Ossana of Warren, Rhode Island-based O&G Studio. “We’ve tapped into the idea that good design could save the continuity of craftsmanship.” Artist and furniture craftsman Ian Stell of New York City, known

LXCOM_Radar_Made_In_America_107.indd 108

for his highly unorthodox, mesmerizingly sculptural pieces, simply calls this widespread craving for authenticity an “American design renaissance.” “There’s a competition that has been intensifying,” he says, “and it’s pushing both quality and originality.”

But what is American furniture design today?

According to Brooklyn-based designer Asher Israelow, it is not bound by a style but rather an ethos. “There is no aesthetic correlation,” he says, “but it is aspirational; it’s forward-thinking. It’s reinventing the wheel. American designers are not necessarily bogged down by traditional craft techniques and apprenticeships that perhaps

our European counterparts are.” Israelow was studying architecture in school when on a whim, he took up woodworking while completing his thesis. “I’m entirely self-taught with wood. It became an obsessive hobby,” he says. Instead of becoming an architect, Israelow shifted gears to furniture because he believed it would provide more creative license. It is a circuitous route to furniture production that many young designers echo. Los Angeles-based Sabin Ousey was working in sales at Lawson-Fenning when he began making furniture for his own apartment as a creative outlet, prompting him to open his own company last January. His collection pays

homage to various viewpoints, from Paul McCobb to Spanish Colonial motifs. “America, particularly California, lacks centuries of history, so it gives us an opportunity to forge a new aesthetic,” says Ousey. “Rather than copying tradition, we are playing with historic motifs. That is how new genres and trends emerge.” New York interior designer Eddie Lee finds an egalitarian quality in today’s design scene. “Furniture makers are coming from all different backgrounds these days,” he says. “That’s a very American concept.”

Stephen Antonson, the Brooklyn plaster master who references Giacometti and Gio Ponti in his sculptural line of work, thinks there is something

LXCOM_Radar_Made_In_America_107.indd 109

to this “design first” ingenuity that separates the successful American designer. “You can go to the design shows and say, ‘oh, there’s the guy that studied woodworking in school: he’s made the most amazing dovetail you’ve ever seen,’ but it’s rather uninspired design-wise,” he says. Like Israelow and Ousey, Antonson never studied plaster or furniture making in school. “I think there’s a streak of naiveté that allows good designers to do weird things, to be open to doing something backward. That’s where innovation happens. You’re not trying to make this boring, perfect thing that is like all the other boring, perfect things.” Ty Best of Chicago’s Caste Design,

None of this is to say that design traditions do not inform the current American furniture marketplace. Stickley, the pioneer of Mission and American Arts and Crafts furniture, has been around for over a century and has changed hands only once—from the original Stickley family to the Audi family in 1974—all the while employing their original, traditional woodworking techniques. That is not to say that the Manlius, New York-based company hasn’t propelled forward with every generation; Aminy Audi, the CEO of Stickley, credits this to the company’s diversification and a resistance to laurelresting. “We’ve added many different styles, from updated traditional to midcentury modern collections,” she says, adding, however, that it is the education of the consumer that matters most.

Clockwise from top: Los Angeles’ Sabin taps local craftsmen to manufacture its made-to-order offerings; the Rexford cabinet is shown. Black walnut and solid brass inlay comprises the Neversink table by Asher Israelow of Brooklyn. From the mind of interior designer Brad Ford, Field + Supply is a yearly modern makers craft fair in High Falls, New York; the U bench by Luur Studio, sold through The Future Perfect, is an example of what’s in store for fair goers.

A peek at Israelow’s process.

who formerly had a life and career in the fashion industry, also echoes the sentiment: “It sounds sort of Pollyanna, but I never knew about the possibilities of what could go wrong; I went into it head first without any hesitation.” Best’s refined, hand-hewn pieces, often in weighty materials like bronze and marble, are nationally distributed by Holly Hunt. He finds the isolation of rural Montana instead of community hotbeds like Brooklyn or Los Angeles to be the best source of unfiltered inspiration. “I think if I had more contemporaries opining on my designs, my work wouldn’t be so avant-garde,” he says.

1/21/16 6:04 PM

“When people understand the work and quality behind one of these pieces, they realize it is a lifetime investment. It is something they can pass on to a future generation.” O&G Studio is a contemporary example of modernizing a deeply ingrained American motif—the Windsor chair, whose roots stem from our earliest English colonists. Ossana and partner Jonathan Glatt electrify the genre with unexpected colors and proportions. “It’s something intrinsic to the American design community,” Ossana says, “our history allows us to question authority.”

New York-based interior designer Brad Ford, who has become a kind of pied piper for independent craftsmanship, says, “The U.S. has become one of the most dynamic places for burgeoning design talent.” Last October, Ford held his second-annual Field + Supply fair in High Falls, New York. “Growing up in a small town in Arkansas and being a creative kid, I always loved going to the arts and crafts fairs,” he says. “It created a sense of community that is now so often lacking.”

Ford decided to take this concept and elevate it by cherry-picking some of the best American designers across various disciplines, like Israelow, Apparatus and The Future Perfect. “With Field + Supply, we want the work to be serious but the experience to be anything but,” he says, adding, “It is important that design not be alienating.

Consumers are more and more responding to the meaning and soul of something that is made by hand. It automatically separates itself from other mass-produced furnishings.” Ford is so confident in the shifting consumer paradigm that this fall, he opened Fair, a showroom at the New York Design Center highlighting elevated craft and design, representing many of the American designers he curated for Field + Supply.

No matter the aesthetic, whether historically referential or avant-garde, the independent American furniture maker offers a quality that an outsourced big-box manufacturer simply can’t.

“My clients want to understand and know the object that they have a personal relationship with; our local makers give us that,” says interior designer Celerie Kemble, who is deeply involved in keeping artisan traditions afloat—particularly with The Alpha Workshops, the nation’s only nonprofit organization providing creative HIV-positive individuals with industry-specific training and employment in the decorative arts. “People are increasingly caring about these pieces that they live with. Furniture is a very intimate thing, and so, too, should be the process.”

Century Furniture’s Thompson chest by designer Thomas O’Brien is fabricated in Hickory, North Carolina. Stickley has been making hardwood furnishings, like the Elroy chair shown here, in America since its inception in 1900.

INFORMED BY HIS VORACIOUS APPETITE FOR TRAVEL, JIUN HO’S SCULPTURAL LINE OF FURNITURE CELEBRATES AN ANNIVERSARY.

Above: In his San Francisco studio, designer Jiun Ho stands near one of his No More Play tables, part of the Jiun Ho Collection V line and inspired by Alberto Giacometti’s sculpture of the same name.

For Jiun Ho, the San Francisco designer behind the furniture collection that bears his name, it all comes down to narrative. “I want to tell a story,” he says of the line, now celebrating its 15th anniversary. More often than not, the stories stem from his travels (he spends at least three months a year traveling the world, with recent stops in Kyoto and Sicily). “I take a lot of pictures to remind me of my experiences,” he notes.

“There are times when I look at things and say ‘that could be a base for a dining table’ and there are times when I have to look at the photo, take a step back and create from there.” He points to the Maras chair in his newly introduced Jiun Ho Collection V as an example.

“If you look at the lines of the chair and the stonework found at Machu Picchu and Sacsahuamán in Peru, you can see where the inspiration comes from.” The rest of the 16-piece collection similarly draws on Ho’s wide-ranging travels and experiences, as well as weaves together the narrative threads of previous introductions and makes graceful allusions to modern art. When first launching his business, though, the designer’s primary objective was not building a furniture brand, but rather to create unique spaces and user-friendly experiences. Then a client asked him if he would sketch some furniture. “I said, ‘Sure, I can give it a try,’ ” he recalls. “I came up with 35-40 pieces.” Connecting with a factory based in Southern California, Ho began manufacturing the pieces (most of which have been made in the United States ever since) and a brand was born. As the company has evolved, so has Ho’s approach. “We create the trends; we don’t let them drive us,” he says. “We focus on timeless, elegant shapes and forms and emphasize the tranquility, balance and pureness of the pieces.

That, and attention to detail, is what’s important to us.”

Steeped in rich, historical references, the Biltmore Estate has been inspiring design and architecture since its reveal in 1895 by George Washington Vanderbilt II, grandson of famed industrialist and philanthropist Cornelius Vanderbilt. The 250-room French Renaissance château set upon 8,000 acres of pristine Ashville, North Carolina, land was designed as a country retreat for the family and remained so well into the 20th century. With certainly no shortage of inspiration to draw from—the house itself features over 100,000 square feet comprised of 35 bedrooms, 43 bathrooms and 65 fireplaces— the artisanal team behind Wildwood Lamps & Accents turned to the estate as a muse for their most recent collection, receiving unparalleled access to the pieces that made this sprawling house a home.

One such piece uncovered during the brand’s creative pursuit was an ancient cinnabar box belonging to George’s wife, Edith Stuyvesant Dresser Vanderbilt. Quickly recognizing the potential in the raised floral relief etching, the Wildwood team developed big plans for the motif: Aptly named after the lady of the house, the resulting Edith lamps (shown) are conveyed in three colorways that each take on a different persona. The Edith lamp in Red, for instance, reflects a traditional Asian-like feel, while the Powder Blue hue professes a more serene garden-esque vibe; Oyster proves to be the chameleon of the group, able to live in both modern and traditional environments. All flaunting brushed finishes, modern silhouettes and sleek drum shades, this versatile collection effusively transcends aesthetics, genres and eras—taking its place as a graceful classic with a firm foothold in today’s interiors.

ATHENS, GEORGIA-BASED CREATOR SUSAN HABLE LENDS HER DESIGN TALENT AND ARTISTIC VISION TO A CHIC NEW HOME COLLECTION. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY LACY MORRIS PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHRIS BRANTLEY/WHITE ORANGE PRODUCTIONS

You are involved in a little bit of everything—painting, textiles, furniture, interiors. What led you to where you are today? I’ve always been an artist, and after working for several small businesses, mostly in jewelry, I realized that it was time to start my own design company. My sister, Katharine Hable Sweeney, and I launched Hable Construction in New York City in 1999, but in 2009, I decided to make the move to Athens.

This was an eye-opening experience in that I realized how productive having my own studio was for my art.

Describe your design aesthetic. I don’t play by the rules and I don’t discriminate where I turn to for inspiration—one day it’s Egyptian metalwork and the next it’s a Japanese kimono. I look to different cultures for inspiration in my color palettes and patterns.

Tell us about your relationship with Hickory Chair.

We started working together about six years ago on an exclusive fabric collection, and we’ve grown from there.

Our common goals were to create quality products and make as many pieces domestically as possible.

Why do you think it’s so important to keep production stateside? It is crucial for me to see the furniture being prototyped with my eyes on the product, and I work with the designers and engineers to make sure that all of the details that make the pieces special are being executed as they should. It’s such a luxury to see the hands that go into making each piece of our collection.

We love the blue mirrored console for Hickory Chair’s sister company, La Barge (shown). It’s part of 25 new pieces we are adding to the original collection for the brand, and it is made with gilded wood and blue glass.

I had seen that blue shade in a few midcentury pieces, but nothing current; we searched all over until we finally tracked it down abroad. I’m crazy about simple design that is also chic, and I think this geometric piece fits the bill and would be fantastic in a foyer.

What’s next? An additional collection for Hickory Chair will come later this year. The pieces are incredible, with a lot of new silhouettes, and our focus continues to be on the sculptural aspect of each design. Visually, the new collection will tell a more transitional, modern story. Incorporating an artistic approach to design, I work hard to let the tiniest of details speak for the entire product.

ROCK ‘N’ ROLL LEGEND AND DESIGN AFICIONADO LENNY KRAVITZ TEAMS UP WITH THE SKILLED CRAFTSMEN AT ROCKY MOUNTAIN HARDWARE TO CREATE A HARMONIOUS COLLECTION THAT HITS ALL THE RIGHT NOTES. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY CARA GIBBS

Why hardware? I was attracted to the partnership with Rocky Mountain Hardware because of the high-quality products they produce—handcrafted hardware made with time-honored casting methods. It was a pleasure to work with all of the talented artisans that created these pieces.

What was it about Beverly Hills’ Trousdale Estates that inspired you? I moved to Los Angeles when I was 11 years old and it was then that I was first exposed to midcentury modern design. The Trousdale area boasts amazing midcentury architecture created by such a diverse group of architects. What I loved about these

homes in contrast to the boxy apartments that I was accustomed to in New York was that they had clean lines, open floor plans and, in a lot of cases, an abundance of glass. They were like the glamorous homes I had seen in Hollywood movies. And this collection represents that.

Tell us more about the artistry and techniques.

At Rocky Mountain, they still cast and finish each piece by hand, which is so impressive; they really bring to life this high level of artistry. With Trousdale, we wanted to generate products that married that craftsmanship with a modern aesthetic.

The texture came out of wanting a more tactile experience with each piece, as well as serves as a way to visually emphasize the handcrafted nature.

Give us a peek at your creative process. It’s a combination of sketching, looking at historical references and listening to music. “Hollywood Swinging” by Kool & the Gang was definitely inspirational in making this line.

Finishes can truly transform a piece—taking something from traditional to totally rock and roll. Take us through the finishes. Trousdale will be offered in all of the Rocky Mountain finishes.

Personally, I will be using the bronze light finish on a home I’m building in the Bahamas.

Lenny Kravitz has made no efforts to conceal his passion for interiors—establishing New Yorkbased Kravitz Design and producing several successful product lines. His latest collaboration with Rocky Mountain Hardware is yet another notch on his already-impressive design belt.

In tune with both the artist’s modern aesthetic and love for classic design, the Rocky Mountain brand was more than prepared to bring Kravitz’s ideas to life. The resulting Trousdale collection combines a powerful ensemble of textures and shapes that culminates in a truly harmonious and showstopping array of hardware. We sat down with Kravitz as he discussed his latest collection.

WHO: Melody Sanchez, a Scottsdale-based creative director and stylist whose eye for design adds a vibrant, playful filter to her favorite hotspots around the city and beyond, from hip new shops to favorite local hangouts with devoted cult followings.

WHAT: Expect to see plenty of cool haunts, gorgeous, flowing calligraphy, envy-inducing wardrobe staples, stylish interiors and travel shots all taken with an eye on detail and great composition.

WHY: What better way to get to know a city than through one of its most enthusiastic inhabitants. Sanchez’s appeal is in her girl-next-door charm and her beautifully developed aesthetic, as well as in her penchant for spotlighting and showcasing what’s new and now while making it also endlessly intriguing.

KRAVET

The bold colors and palettes of the Southwest have long been a point of pride for locals, but they’re not the only ones intrigued by the folk art-inspired textures and patterns coming out of the region. One of the biggest players in the fabric industry, Kravet, recently announced its fifth collaboration with the Museum of New Mexico: a collection that taps inspiration from the museum’s more than 25,000-piece textile and dress archives—with gorgeous embroidery, cut-paper patterns and basketry—for a line of fabrics that brings Santa Fe to mind. And for her part, the museum’s vice president of licensing and brand management, Pamela Kelly, is happy to take this area’s special aesthetic global. “In partnering with us and by choosing such a broad spectrum of museum textiles for inspiration,” explains Kelly, “Kravet, too, is saying, ‘The whole world is hometown,’ and there are no foreigners.” kravet.com; museumfoundation.org

BLUEPRINT FOUND:RE PHOENIX

Another feather in Phoenix’s creative cap, Found:Re Phoenix will open the doors to its hybrid hotel this spring—with luxe, modern accommodations against a backdrop of contemporary art, culture, music and haute couture, all designed to contribute to the growing artistic community in the city. The 104-room hotel, developed by the team at Habitat Metro and managed by Urban Quarters Hospitality, will also feature an on-site art gallery led by cultural curator

Michael Oleskow. “The buzz and excitement around the completion of the Found:Re has been building for the past few years,” says general manager Vittal Calamur. “With plans to embrace the neighboring art galleries and museums, The Found:Re will bring a fresh and edgy hotel concept to Phoenix, showcasing an entire collection of local art and curated experiences. We are designing a space for locals and travelers to find themselves and embrace curiosity.” foundrehotels.com

IN HER WORDS: “I allow my everyday life to inspire me.

Whether that’s in a flower blooming in the springtime, an interesting tile floor pattern or the latest sketch I’m working on. Oftentimes, all you need to do is pause for a moment in order to be inspired. It’s about capturing the image you would have otherwise missed—the one you didn’t know you wanted.”

DATE BOOK

SARAH WOLFE: LUCENT LIGHTSHOP

6 a.m. If this is your first time to the Southwest and you’re not afraid of a bit of excitement, I would recommend starting your day early with a hot air balloon ride at Hot Air Expeditions. We wake up to them all over the sky near our shop in North Phoenix. It is such an amazing experience to float with the wind and is surprisingly peaceful. Not to mention, you’ll snap some amazing photographs!

9 a.m. Have breakfast at Heart and Soul Café on Carefree Highway.

It’s really difficult to choose your entrée, because they are all hearty and taste amazing. Sit in the vintage car in the middle of the restaurant and splurge on the Crazy Biscuits. One side is topped with gravy and the other with its famous green pork chili complete with two eggs and a side of heirloom potatoes. Or, try the raspberry granola pancakes.

10 a.m. Drive a few minutes north, just outside of Phoenix, to Buffalo Bill’s Trading Post. This is the place to pick up rustic souvenirs for your loved ones. Every nook and cranny has something to look at. You’ll find over an acre of Mexican terra-cotta pots, vases, metal art, art tiles, house numbers, iron pot stands and Mexican folk art. Make sure you go next door to its sister store Retablo, where you’ll find an authentic and exceptionally large selection of diligently handmade Southwest furniture.

10:30 a.m. Visit the Rare Earth Gallery. You will be awestruck by the 5-ton crystal quartz formation that sits just inside the entrance.

The gallery features rare creations of the earth, such as crystals and geodes, as well as handmade jewelry and glass art that rivals a museum display. Decorating with quartz geode accents is presently on trend with the design community, and you’re sure to find several beautiful pieces here.

11 a.m. Experience music as the language of the soul when you visit the Musical Instrument Museum. It’s on TripAdvisor’s Top 25 Museums in the United States and is the only global instrument museum, with more than 15,000 instruments from over 200 countries. Plus, the exhibit for each country features videos depicting local musicians performing on their native instruments. You can listen to the performance with headphones that are activated automatically when an exhibit is being observed. It is also a concert and musical theatre venue.

1 p.m. Drive a bit south to Postino on Central Avenue for a taste of the bruschetta. It also serves glasses of wine or beer by the pitcher. The building is located in a historically rich area and the food is prepared with local ingredients.

2 p.m. Next, visit Georganne Bryant’s boutique, Frances. She personally curates Frances’ revered

Sarah Wolfe’s idea of romance is a little different than most.

Forget the candlelit dinners with flowing linens. One of her favorite memories with her longtime beau, Bryan, an electrical contractor, was when the two collaborated on a Sputnik chandelier for their home. It was this project that would launch Wolfe’s thriving enterprise, Lucent Lightshop—a lighting brand whose cool, midcentury lines have inspired thousands of devotees.

Today, the Lucent Lightshop studio, located in North Phoenix, is home to a team of five that processes and hand-finishes over 10,000 brass parts a month to keep up with the demand for Wolfe’s signature chandeliers, pendants and sconces. Here, we sit down with Wolfe for an illuminating chat on all the best things to do in and around Phoenix. etsy.com/shop/lucentlightshop

blend of unique clothing, jewelry, paper goods and handmade gifts.

It is consistently voted as the best boutique in Phoenix, and she has been dubbed “The Queen of Quirky Taste.”

3 p.m. Head over to the 7th Avenue Melrose District to peruse vintage and architectural salvage finds.

The shops are fairly close together and easy to find. Visit owner Ryan Durkin at Modern Manor; he is constantly bringing in new inventory and sparking enthusiasm for midcentury design. Some other favorites are Figs Home & Garden and Modern on Melrose.

5 p.m. Head back up to the outskirts of North Phoenix to experience a cowboy dinner outdoors at the Buffalo Chip Saloon & Steakhouse. There, you’ll experience live music, fire pits and a bull-riding show with real professional riders. You’ll have memories of this place that you’ll never forget.

Morning routine: Up at 5:30 a.m., I check online auctions, design blogs, The New York Times and email. Post bath and meditation, it’s family time with my husband and 4-year-old; no better way to start the day. Dream office: I surround myself with beautiful objects in my studio, but it’s constantly changing—the smallest thing can inspire. We have huge windows overlooking the San Francisco skyline, and the sunsets are spectacular. Desktop items: My tools of the trade (color pencils, scratch paper and drawings), a rusty horseshoe, brass door hardware and a rock from a trip to Hawaii. Personal stationery: Custom letterpress with original artwork by Marta Elise Johansen.

Mood board: Torn pages from fashion and art magazines and auction catalogues. On trend: Eighties fashion is back and inspiring interiors. I’m hooked on neon, shredded and studded accents.

I absolutely love the Hooker-Rowley collaboration for that exact reason—an unexpected brand pairing that stops you in your tracks. The Fleur de Glee bench is… Unmistakably Rowley in pattern yet shows off the refined upholstery elements for which Hooker is known. Add in the modern lines and jewelrylike metalwork detailing and you’re poised for perfection. As a fluent Francophile… I love the name and inherent playfulness associated with the bench. Whimsical upholstery meets modern metal—it’s the juxtaposition that makes us stop and ponder. Interiors should not exist on a single axis…

But reflect the many moods and facets of personalities. Without creativity…

Design becomes predictable and expected. Here, I’m so attracted to the hard, modern silhouette coupled with the floral, feminine pattern.

Every single thing… About the Morehead chair is for me. From its hefty, almost updated Parsons-style lines to its somewhat Postmodern personality and early 1980s appeal, it is as much a comfy spot to sit in as it is sculptural art. Silhouette is important… For the overall balance of a room and area of perspective. What’s interesting about these chairs is how strong and grounded their profiles are. Since they are so straight, they work beautifully with curved pieces, like say a Tulip table. Locally made forever pieces…

Are what everyone is after these days. Hands down, these pieces are new and now, all while combining a classically architectural frame with a perhaps retro-style fabric choice that speaks to today’s lifestyle. The best way to describe my aesthetic… Is transitional with an edge, which fits to perfection with many of the pieces offered by Highland House. The lines are clean and draped in classicism, but the textiles are fit for modern-day tastes—the perfect mash-up of timeless and fresh.

Is when you start collecting valuable—not necessarily expensive—well-crafted treasures that have a history, a story and a sense of place.

OUTSIDE THE LINES COLOR REENERGIZES THE HOME’S MOST-FREQUENTED ROOMS FOR STUNNING SPACES THAT SHUN TRADITION AND DARE TO SHAKE THINGS UP. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

Typically, when whipping up a confectionary masterpiece, you don’t want to break the mold; it’s a vital part of keeping those baked goods looking their best.

But that’s where following form in the kitchen should end: The best kitchen design is equal parts functional and unexpected, which is why incorporating color is becoming such an important element for a truly remarkable space.

So, while crisp white cabinetry in both the kitchen and bathroom isn’t going anywhere soon, mixing in bold hues—whether it’s on the island and appliances in the kitchen or in the form of a statement-making wallpaper in the powder bath—is fast becoming the not-so-secret ingredient to cooking up spaces that will stand the test of time. Here, we celebrate the color-happy palettes and products that are taking the workhorse rooms of the home from bland to beautiful.

HAUTE DISH TAYLOR BORSARI

Designer Taylor Borsari channels Morocco in a Coronado, California, kitchen that dazzles with heavy doses of color, pattern and glammed-out gold. taylorborsari.com Share your design vision.

The house was a historic remodel, and the kitchen was a blank space aside from the blue La Cornue oven. My first goal was to integrate the color of the range so it felt like part of an overall story rather than a random dash of color.

I think many are nervous to jump into a bold range choice, but this is proof that it can be done without being too overwhelming.

Best ways to introduce pattern into the kitchen?

I love patterned backsplashes! This is an area where you can really set the tone for a kitchen, and it’s an obvious area you can have a lot of fun with. Even tonal or monochromatic patterns can add interest. In this kitchen, we also added the carved island, which gave us a nice, ethnic twist to help balance the backsplash, as well as the very colorful range.

COM_LX6_TheLook_KitchenBath_186-194.indd 194

How can color revive and freshen up a kitchen?

Color is a great addition to everyday life. White is classic and timeless, of course, but it is also a very safe option.

This kitchen is a bit of a hybrid of pattern and color, and I think it is so much more interesting as a result. Plus, as more spaces are openplan these days, embracing a little more color in kitchens allows you to connect rooms more cohesively.

BLACK

BEAUTY Bringing color into the kitchen doesn’t have to mean looking to the rainbow for inspiration: quiet black matte can be just as impactful and statement-making, as demonstrated by the latest addition to Brizo’s high-fashion faucet line. Featuring a hidden pull-down wand, the Solna faucet makes a big impression with its articulating arm and fashion-forward finish. brizo.com

It’s no surprise that open shelving continues to be wildly popular in today’s kitchen, but for lovers of color, this modern design device is even more effective. Stacking brightly colored bowls, glasses, mugs and ceramics can infuse happy hues into the most neutral of kitchens, making it the perfect solution for homeowners who are looking to play it a little safer but still want to incorporate an element of fun and whimsy into their rooms. This vignette from designer Emily Henderson shows that there are no rules when it comes to styling your shelves; just don’t be shy to share your favorite pieces, regardless of color scheme or theme. stylebyemilyhenderson.com

FREE & CLEAR Snaidero’s newest introduction, Code, in collaboration with designer Michele Marcon, is challenging the kitchen’s status quo with its innovative paint-by-number system. In Code, consumers can opt for cabinets in varying finishes and colors with an easy online ordering system that makes it a breeze to mix and match for infinite layout solutions. It’s about as personal as you can get in the kitchen. snaidero-usa.com

BAKE OFF OFFICINE GULLO Crafted from heavy-gauge stainless steel and solid brass, Italian manufacturer Officine Gullo’s Grand Villa oven range is serious about both cooking and its own good looks. And the best part? The oven can be fabricated in literally any RAL color—Europe’s version of the popular Pantone system—for endless opportunities for inspiration and customization. officinegullousa.com

While Duravit’s L-Cube vanity, designed by Christian Werner, takes its cues from one of geometry’s simplest shapes, it is far from ordinary. Refined down to its most fundamental form, it’s the unassuming details that sing here: from the handle-free façade to the elegant shadow gap between the countertop and the shelving—not to mention the line’s nearly exhaustive color options, like the pretty peachy version shown here. duravit.us

EVERYDAY

ART Last year’s trend toward metallics continues to be prevalent this year, and it’s easy to see why in the presence of Groupwork’s latest line of fi xtures for the bathroom, Simplify.

Australian designer Sarah Trotter’s newest initiative, created in collaboration with architect Murray Barker and artist Esther Stewart, turns something as practical as a towel rack into a veritable work of art. groupworkstudio.com

MAKE A SPLASH Not content to let pristine porcelain tubs lie, the creative team at Aquabrass recently released its Kanvas collection of highly artistic freestanding tubs, each hand-painted and signed by the artist responsible for the striking scenes depicted on their glossy white finishes. From cool graffiti patterns to multicolor mosaic-inspired prints, the limited-edition series promises you’ll have a lot more to soak in than bubbles during bath time. aquabrass.com

Sconces from Galerie des Lampes and an art piece, Jay Hodgins’ Straumi 8, add an air of modern elegance to the room. The chair is custom by Anne Hepfer, upholstered in fabric from Kravet and trim from Samuel & Sons.

This serene vanity space by Toronto designer Anne Hepfer is transformed with color.

Benjamin Moore’s Coventry Gray on the cabinetry acts as both statement-maker and pretty neutral against the softer walls painted in Benjamin Moore’s Stonington Gray.

“The cabinetry is tailored but feminine, with some round detailing to maintain traditional character but in a cleaner more current design,” explains Hepfer. Far from traditional, though, is what she sees as the next big thing in powerful palettes: “I have a feeling that gray is here to stay for a while, so we’re popping spaces with bold hits of color—fuchsia, canary yellow, teal—and, of course, black and white accents. I’m loving the play of contrast and unexpected combinations!” annehepfer.com

A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT MAKES THE KITCHEN AND BATH SOME OF OUR FAVORITE ROOMS IN THE HOME. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

MADE TO ORDER Kitchens and bathrooms spent the first part of their lives inside the home hidden away, separated from the pretty living and family rooms where all the action was happening. Today, though, the kitchen and bath are front and center, with gorgeous new options that transform the rooms into gallery-like spacesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with faucets that double as works of art, tiles that look like they belong in a museum, and lots of great new technology that ensures these spaces are as hardworking as they are good-looking. On the following pages, Luxe examines all the ways the kitchen and bath have been transformed for modern living.

MATERIAL MAGIC For this handsome Santa Monica, California, kitchen by architect May Sung, materials take center stage to great effect thanks to the wonderful grain and texture of the reclaimed wood on the island and perimeter cabinetry, which contrast powerfully with the limestone backsplash tiles from Walker Zanger. “We wanted to create an oasis that is masculine and bring in natural material, without looking like a lumberjack’s cabin,” says Sung. “All of the material had to be genuine and true to that vision.” gsubuda.com

Sure, the classic French press has its own rustic charm, but nothing says, “I’m serious about my coffee,” like a brew station that can deliver rich espresso, sweet lattes and foamtopped cappuccinos at the touch of a button. Miele’s CM6310 Countertop Coffee System does just that and then some; with four user profiles to account for different tastes and an integrated cup warmer, it’s just like having your own barista at home— misspelled name on a paper cup not included. mieleusa.com

A backsplash represents the founding principles of a kitchen: It should be both beautiful and functional. But, in the case of the New Ravenna tile backsplash in this kitchen

by Los Angeles-based designer Kishani Perera, it goes one further: being totally statement-making. Luckily, the vast expanses of white on the cabinetry make it, and the warm, chevron-patterned wood flooring that accompanies it, visually stimulating but not overwhelming. kishaniperera.com

Touches of gold and brass are slowly taking the place of chrome and polished nickel in contemporary bathrooms, thanks to their easy warmth and timeless aesthetic. In this space by designer Casey Keasler, from the creative Portland studio of Casework, brass faucets from Kohler join mirrors—replicas of 1930s French wall consoles from RH—in creating a can’t-look-away sink area. The golden hues are the perfect complement to the cabinetry’s bold teal color. “The brass helped create a certain richness,” says Keasler. “I like a clean, quiet space where everything is done for a reason and not because of a trend.” casework.it

RUSSELL GREEY

Our firm comprises artists, designers, visionary thinkers and implementers who strive to exceed our clients’ expectations.

GREEY|PICKETT 7144 East Stetson Drive, Suite 205 Scottsdale, Arizona 480.609.0009 info@greeypickett.com greeypickett.com

”

Describing the moment when, as a high school student, he was introduced to a landscape architect by his father, an ASU professor, Russell Greey says, “I was immediately captivated by a profession that blends horticulture, art, creativity and business.” This revelatory meeting commenced a 30-year career that eventually engendered the launch of Greey|Pickett, the partnership of Greey and Wendell Pickett, a renowned landscape architecture and land planning firm with a reputation for creating timeless environments that are both detailed and sustainable. The timelessness for which the brand is known is rooted in its artisanal approach to design. “We begin each design with a handcrafted sketch.

We are craftsmen first,” Greey says. “The soul of our brand is the cohesive creativity we bring to our projects. We implement holistic design so that every aspect of the project feels like a unified vision. We strive to create a seamless indoor-outdoor relationship.”

What do you like most about your job?

I enjoy the freedom in design; there are always multiple solutions to any project. The evolution from a blank piece of paper to a successful project always brings me great fulfillment.

Who has most influenced your work?

Landscape architects who have inspired me are Peter Walker, Michael Van Valkenburgh, James Burnett and Laurie Olin. They are the designers who are changing the way we experience our environment.

What is one thing your clients would be shocked to know about you?

I’m so intently focused on the projects, my clients may not realize that I have a strong sense of humor.

I love a great practical joke, and I’m always laughing with my team.

Who or what inspires you most?

Craftsmen inspire me: a talented blacksmith, a woodworker, a mason. I relate to them because we create beautiful things. With fine execution, we see our vision come to life in a beautiful, tangible end product.

1. Purchased on the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica, this ceremonial mask is a reminder of one of our best family adventures.

What are your favorite hobbies?

Traveling is my favorite indulgence. My family and I enjoy adventure, and I’m always encouraging us to visit places where I have an excuse for architectural wandering.

What is your most prized possession?

My most prized possession is time. I would always love more time: more time to create, more time to add the perfect detail to my design, more time with my family and more time to explore.

In what kinds of communities do you typically work?

The Stone Collection is looking forward to becoming a part of the Phoenix and Salt Lake City communities and is excited to have the opportunity to serve these markets.

How do you define luxury?

First and foremost, cost does not always necessarily equate to luxury. Luxury is much more personal. You will know it and feel it when you see it.

What steps can clients take to make their experiences more personally rewarding?

We typically recommend to our clients that they bring in any available design elements, such as cabinet, flooring and backsplash samples to help aid in their selection.

THE STONE COLLECTION Since launching in 2007 in Denver, Colorado, The Stone Collection rapidly evolved to encompass a well-designed facility with an inventory of more than 11,000 slabs from over 35 countries, as well as exclusive regional distribution agreements with Caesarstone, Vetrazzo and Neolith, establishing a dominant presence in the Colorado stone and tile market.

Now with two new 110,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art, gallery-style facilities in Phoenix and Dallas, and a new 60,000-square-foot facility in Salt Lake City, The Stone Collection is poised to continue building its reputation as a national, leading resource for homeowners, fabricators, builders, architects and designers alike seeking the highest quality natural stone and hard surface options for their next project. For managing directors Mike Hitchcock and Alan Odom, success was already a familiarity, as they had each already brought their own businesses from start-ups to large-scale, national leadership positions before coming together to bring The Stone Collection to fruition. The company was founded on the primary principles of delivering outstanding service through a knowledgeable and experienced staff, as well as being able to offer accessibility to the highest quality products available. “Our showroom professionals are eager to assist our clients in selecting the best-suited surface for their project. We take pride in the knowledge of our materials and the proper usage and care of each stone,” Hitchcock explains. “Successful projects are based upon our ability to provide the highest quality material, the creativity of our design partners and the artful execution of the stone fabricator or installer. We search the world near and far to bring our customers the finest, highest quality natural stone and hard surface materials available, matched by a long-standing commitment to high-quality, personalized service.”

BOTTOM: Book-matching, shown here in this backlit Arco Iris onyx at The Ritz-Carlton, Denver, is the process of matching two consecutive stone slabs together at their seams so that they mirror each other.

ou could say that designer Jennifer DeMasseo had a little more leverage than usual with a commission for the interiors of a new home in Scottsdale’s exclusive Silverleaf neighborhood.

“The owners are my parents,” says DeMasseo, who saw the job as an opportunity to grow as a designer while giving her clients a chance to expand their vision, as well. “We had a great time blending their ideas with my design expertise.”

For the architectural plan, builder Tom Argue and residential designer Ken Brown Jr. responded to the owners’ desires for clean lines all around with a very tailored, manicured look. “They had an idea in mind for the floor plan,” explains Brown. “They wanted it to be very open with usable space, no hallways and lots of outdoor living areas.

So, we took their input and did elevations and iterations until they got what they wanted.” The home itself—part-Spanish

Colonial and part-Mediterranean villa with clay tile rooflines, smooth stucco walls and faux-limestone sills and surrounds—was designed with those specifications in mind.

On board with that approach, Argue was sensitive to getting things exactly right. “When we got our hands on the plans, we made sure every detail met the expectations of the indoor-outdoor living concept,” he says. From an experiential standpoint, the concept begins at the front door. “There is not a definitive formal entry,” explains DeMasseo. “To draw people in, we designed a beautiful solid-panel wall with applied molding that carries through to the great room. Vaulted 22-foot-high ceilings and the expansive 16-foot-high opening of bifold doors fashion a seamless transition to one of the many outdoor living spaces.” In addition to creating a comfortable living place, the great room also sets the tone for the home’s neutral soft gray, cream and taupe palette, which allows for

Nestled amid native palo verde and mesquite trees, the home’s entry includes a flagstone path laid with lawn joints and lined with agave succulents and other native plants. Builder Tom Argue and the owners collaborated on the custom gate, and there are Texas ebony trees in the courtyard beyond.

artwork collected during years of travels to provide accent colors here and in all the rooms.

Furthermore, DeMasseo customized many of the furnishings to complement existing pieces, designing them to be understated yet classic so they would never go out of style. The great room sofas are upholstered with a nubby charcoal fabric and are paired with gray leather side chairs. Details such as an assortment of custom Kravet and Lee Jofa throw pillows add layers of texture and pattern to the mix. “We utilized every inch of space and arranged things to allow for flow,” says DeMasseo. “It’s so warm and inviting.”

Off the great room, the classic kitchen is airy and bright and features Carrara marble-topped cabinetry, created by R&G Custom Crafting, that references the great room’s

paneling. A central island, with a simple slab of Cambrian black satin-granite, functions both as a work space for caterers and seating for a casual meal. For relaxation, the owners retreat to their serene master suite, which offers the comfort of a custom-framed bed, as well as seating by one of the home’s five fireplaces. And thanks to French doors that open to a private courtyard and fountain, the master bathroom is filled with natural light.

The task of integrating the home into its surroundings while also adhering to local neighborhood covenants fell to landscape designer Jeff Berghoff. “The key was to create impactful curb appeal while buffering the backyard from neighbors,” he says. Working with the cadence of the native mesquite along the street, he added a paved walkway that traverses a garden and lawn to an intimate

entry courtyard. A careful layering of native trees, plantings and pots adds a sense of visual interest and privacy to the backyard area, which includes a custom-designed swimming pool and water wall, as well as a seating area focused on a fireplace. The great room opens to the patio to enhance the indoor-outdoor flow. “It’s a really wonderful area to entertain,” notes Argue. “It feels like a little oasis that embraces you.”

Despite the fact that DeMasseo installed a 72-inchwide glass-topped table in the formal dining room, the owners often utilize an outdoor dining area, as well as a fully furnished ramada, for entertaining. Situated off the swimming pool, the latter is a covered structure that provides shade by day and the warmth of a fireplace come nightfall. There, furnishings sport indoor-outdoor fabrics that are durable enough to stand up to spills and the antics of the couple’s four dogs.

Throughout the process, the homeowners’ influence was felt everywhere and was highly welcomed. “The home is like a piece of artwork for them, and when you have the people who commissioned the artwork so excited and involved in the project, there’s no question it is easier to deliver exactly what is wanted,” Argue explains. DeMasseo heartily agrees, “Their home is a total reflection of their lifestyle, passions and special memories.”

CENTRIC ENJOYING A DECADES-LONG LOVE AFFAIR WITH ALL THINGS RELATED TO ART, PHOENIX GALLERY OWNER LISA SETTE SEARCHES THE WORLD TO FIND THE BEST IT HAS TO OFFER. WRITTEN BY NANCY A. RUHLING / PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRANDON SULLIVAN

eing a curator is like being an explorer; you set out not knowing what you will discover,” says Lisa Sette, owner of her namesake gallery.

“I’m always looking for something I’ve never seen before and when I find something that’s great, I get goose bumps.” And, that’s just what happened when she came across the works of Xawery Wolski and Máximo González, Mexicobased artists who are the subjects of the gallery’s current show. She had a visceral response to Wolski’s clay sculptures for their minimalist aesthetic and complexity of design, yet more of an intellectual reaction to Gonzalez’s idea of making art from devalued and obsolete currency.

Hailing from Hamden, Connecticut, Sette—who attended Arizona State University—opened her gallery in Scottsdale three decades ago and showcases local and national artists including James Turrell and William Wegman. Recently, she moved to midtown Phoenix where she renovated an Al Beadle building to take the place as the gallery’s new home. The move, she realized, turned out to be a strategic one. “Exciting things are happening culturally here, and people who had gone to the suburbs are now moving back,” she explains. “Currently we are the only gallery in Midtown, but I expect that will change; it’s a great time to forge new territory.”

When Sette isn’t looking at artwork she’s living in it. Her home—which she shares with her graphic designer husband—was designed

by California architect Marwan Al-Sayed and is, what she considers, an architectural piece of art in itself; its fabric roof initially attracted her to the building. “It was the most seductive thing I had ever seen in architecture,” says Sette. “When birds fly overhead you can see their shadows.”

And when it comes to art, Sette heartily embraces it as central to her being. “I can’t imagine doing anything else,” she says. “Artists are at the forefront of being sensitive about what’s happening in the world and it’s through their images that I understand it.”

P

racticed meditators believe in the life-changing power of inner stillness. Among its many other benefits, they say, it can also loosen fixed viewpoints and open us to other possibilities.

California-based designer Stewart Allen, a meditation practitioner for 25 years, knows this to be true. Still, it was wondrous for him to observe the way the concept of stillness impacted the design of a Scottsdale home. In initial meetings, his clients—serial home builders with two grown daughters and seven grandchildren— wanted “something that relates to the desert, but with a very calming, spa-like and sophisticated interior,” says the wife. When they introduced the word “Zen” as a descriptor, the idea both pleased and mystified Allen, who asked, “Do you want a cup-of-green-tea-on-a-cedar-tray Zen?” To which the wife replied, laughing, “You know my taste Stewart. Let’s call it glamour Zen.” Leaving their designer to ponder that dichotomy, the clients decamped to the Amangiri resort in Canyon Point,

AZ_LX32_StewartAllenv_256-269.indd 259

Utah, for a vacation that would prove transformative.

“When we drove up to the resort, it looked like it just emerged out of the desert,” recalls the wife. “It was so lovely, warm and quiet, with beautiful wood, lighting and stone details.” The place filled them with a sense of wellbeing and confirmed their instincts that their desire for a contemporary home that both reflected the environment and was welcoming could be achieved.

Having built about 30 homes with San Franciscobased architect Hugh Huddleson, the couple leaned on him again to manifest the serenity they hoped to achieve in earthly dimensions. Huddleson admits being influenced by one of modern architecture’s masters.

“Frank Lloyd Wright has been with me since I was 6,” he says. “The stone in this house is a little like Taliesin, and there are also similarities with his Hollyhock House.

But I was more interested in paring it down to geometric gestures, so it looked like abstracted boulders and rock ledges in the landscape.”

To create an organic house in keeping with the Natural Area Open Space that surrounds it, architect Hugh Huddleson combined walls of stucco and Oklahoma sandstone from Anasazi Stone Company. The cedar eaves are trimmed in blades of copper.

2/1/16 4:18 PM

The resulting floor plan comprises several distinct zones that pinwheel off the living room. “The massing of these zones is similar in size to nearby boulders, and the profile of the house follows those features along the line of the adjacent ridge,” explains Huddleson. “The roofline mirrors the slope of the ridge.” Huddleson kept the material vocabulary abbreviated—limestone, white oak and cedar mixed with plenty of glass. “To blend into a landscape, a house should coherently limit its geometries to three or four notes,” he adds. One type of limestone used liberally on the vertical surfaces came carved with chevrons. “My eyes were on every piece as we cut it, because there is veining going through it that had to be matched,” recalls builder Glenn Farner. And when it came to wrapping the living room fireplace in the

AZ_LX32_StewartAllenv_256-269.indd 265

same material, he discovered, “You couldn’t cut it on a 45-degree angle to create mitered corners because it’s very soft and chips.” His solution was to employ quirk miter corners (where the angled edges of the slabs are leveled rather than left sharp), and then fill the corners with siliconized grout.

From a materials standpoint, Allen sparked the Zen concept by introducing contrasting bronze-leaf limestone tile on the fireplace. He also insinuated subtle shimmer throughout in the silk rugs, gold glass tiles in the master bathroom, the bronze luster of leather wrapping the bar, metallic thread woven into the fabric of the dining room chairs, and custom bronze furniture pieces. “The bronze front door is my design and it sets the tone as you enter the home,” he says.

The glass backsplash tiles from Waterworks are a focal point in the kitchen, where Concept Cabinetry built custom oak cabinets. Cactus Stone & Tile provided the island’s quartzite slab in a leather finish and the polished granite on the perimeter counters. The Elaine pendants are by Paul Ferrante.

The wood furrows in Therienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Edinburgh commode echo the fluted limestone seen elsewhere in the house. The silver-leaf Torso lamp by Marian Jamieson is a sparkly contrast to the organic Kravet wallcovering.

AZ_LX32_StewartAllenv_256-269.indd 268

2/1/16 4:18 PM

Allen describes his aesthetic as simple. “I like it very clean, with a consistent element,” he explains. “For example, a wall color, a cabinet style or flooring. The client liked the idea of a thread of consistent finishes, so our intentions were to keep it elegant, clean and lustrous.” So the same white oak on the floors is used on the kitchen cabinetry, and the carved limestone, along with handtroweled plaster, envelops every space, achieving a sense of calm that serves as a foil for the torrid landscape. “You walk from the coarse midday, from the scorching reality of the desert into a really soft oasis,” he adds. To offset the monochromatic environment, Allen introduced bold surprises, including a fireplace in the master bedroom with a black granite base that is swathed in copper leather, metallic glass-bead lamp shades in the living room, and

more ornate trims on pillows around the space. The subtle sheen of the material choices also shifts character throughout the day as it picks up and plays with the light.

Unlike many of the other houses the couple have built over the years, they consider this one to be long-term.

“Our other homes were just projects, but this one felt like it might be the last one we build,” says the wife. “So it became our residence, as opposed to some place we were just going to live in for awhile.” It took two years to get everything right, but the patience paid off and is reflected in the tranquility of the spaces. “It’s a sanctuary,” she concludes. “The desert is armored; almost everything is sharp. The beauty of our house is that the exterior relates to the environment, and the interior is the soft landing in the middle of it.”

The design for the back exterior was part of the architect’s plan to integrate stacked-stone-and-stucco walls and railing-free water edges with the forms of the house so that the massing appears to grow out of the landscape. Huddleson designed the lap pool, which was installed by Emerald Pools and Spas.

W

ith such names as Sunset Spiral, Vivid Blue Topography and Yellow Blush Teardrop, the vessels by potter Nicholas Bernard that line the shelves of his Scottsdale studio form a spectacular eyecatching rainbow of brilliant colors in varying shapes and sizes. But, despite the visual allure of the bold hues and intentional textures, the artist will tell you it’s what’s underneath that counts. “Texture, pattern and color are successful additions only when the shapes are impeccable,” says Bernard, who has been stretching clay to produce elegant objects for over 30 years. “I’m very attentive with clean forms and proportional shapes. My goal is to create beautiful canvases for decoration.”

By his own account, Bernard can’t remember a time he wasn’t besotted with clay. His love of classically shaped silhouettes harks back to his childhood in Los Angeles when his parents purchased a 1960s round ceramic piece that influenced the forms he creates today. “It was just one pot, but I still remember it,” he says.

Bernard’s artwork is part of a rigorous process that begins with a ball of clay and the creation of an object on the potter’s wheel, followed by trimming and adding texture to a piece, and ending with glazing and firing the finished product. Most recently, he’s upped his game with porcelain—a material that requires a kiln to be 25 percent hotter than when working with earthenware. “Unlike earthenware, porcelain is a harder material to use because sometimes it melts and the glaze tends to run,” says Bernard, who received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Arizona State University. “I might get a few really great pieces, but the rest aren’t viable.”

Despite a demanding schedule that keeps him working pretty much seven days a week, year-round, Bernard never loses interest in his craft and is constantly driven by what might come next. “Looking at my recently finished pieces pushes me to expand on ideas, make objects bigger, fix shapes and try a different texture or glaze,” he says. “The combinations for growing my work are endless.”

INTRICATE IRONWORK, HAND-PAINTED TILES AND A THOUGHTFULLY CURATED ART COLLECTION ALL HELP TO ESTABLISH ONE HOME’S AUTHENTIC SPANISH FLAVOR. WRITTEN BY MINDY PANTIEL / PHOTOGRAPHY BY WERNER SEGARRA

T

he San Xavier del Bac Mission, outside Tucson, is the embodiment of Spanish Colonial architecture. From its elegant white-stucco, Moorish-inspired exterior to its hand-carved mesquite doors, the rich ornamentation of the 300-year-old structure was exactly what Donna Krebs-Ulrick and Grant Ulrick envisioned for the home they planned to build in Scottsdale. “When we would travel there or to other countries, we enjoyed visiting old churches and basilicas,” says Donna. “And, after visiting the mission, we fell in love with its architectural style and history.” The couple were also smitten with their upper canyon site in the Silverleaf subdivision, complete with city views to the west and the McDowell Mountains to the east. So, they instructed their design team to create a Spanish-style home defined by indoor-outdoor living spaces, with wow factors in every direction. “Even when I was in the pool, I wanted a view,” says Donna.

To answer these requests, designer Lissa Lee Hickman and residential designer Gary Wyant established a cohesive plan. “The goal was to meld the interior and exterior areas while still respecting the architectural style,” says Hickman, who worked hand-in-glove with Wyant to select authentic materials for what became a Spanish Mission design. The home’s style is similar to traditional Spanish Colonial architecture with its sculpted parapets and a prominent bell tower, which is outfitted with a 600pound bell from a 1800s church that was electrified so the owners can ring it on special occasions.

In the living room, designer Lissa Lee Hickman introduced a quartet of armchairs from Baker and a pair of A. Rudin sofas. Hancock & Moore’s leather ottoman and chairs, along with Alfonso Marina’s console table and cabinet, are all from Jack Pesarcyk Associates. Paul Ferrante fixtures from John Brooks Incorporated light the space.

To address the challenge of maximizing the vistas, Wyant employed a clever maneuver to orient visitors’ eyes in the proper direction. “The front of the property faces a northern direction, and the beautiful city views are to the west,” he explains. “So, I sited the courtyard to appear to be facing the street, but you actually have to turn right to enter the house, which directs you toward the pool and the city lights beyond.” With its stucco walls, high-arched doorways framed in stone, terra-cotta tile flooring and fountain clad with hand-painted tiles, the courtyard is so authentically detailed that it transports you to another time and place.

Inside, it’s the use of cantera stone—quarried exclusively from Mexico and Central America—in the hand-carved columns, fireplaces and architectural trim that continue the Spanish theme. The red bricks on the entry and dining room ceilings are also typical of that motif and, along with the terra-cotta tiles on the coffered ceiling in the kitchen, served as jumping-off points for the palette. “The owners love red and rich jewel tones,” says Hickman. “I even sent a sample brick to the artisan, who hand-painted the cabinets for the dining room niches to ensure the different hues coordinated together.” To follow suit, the designer also covered the living room’s sofa with a deep crimson mohair and incorporated hand-painted tiles with a rouge accent on the kitchen’s backsplash and border tiles, as well as the leather counter stools and window coverings.

This attention to detail is the hallmark of the house.

The intricate ironwork on the doors, the seamless blend of wood and stone on the entry floors and the handcarved elements on the kitchen island only hint at the extraordinary number of artisan hours it took to complete this project, as well as the level of coordination it required of builder Tony Calvis and project manager Scott Edwards.

According to Edwards, hiring and juggling the schedules

of more than 30 subcontractors was just the tip of the iceberg.

“Craftspeople are key to a project like this one. The trick is to not only find a team skilled in their own trade, but they also have to understand other people’s skill sets, as well,” Edwards explains. “When you have hand-painted tile being inlaid into carved stone, both teams have to communicate effectively so that the stone accepts the tile perfectly.”

Throughout the home, Hickman outfitted each room with slightly overscale furnishings selected to stand up to the grandeur of the entry pillars, as well as the heavy crossbeams in the living room and intricacy of the hand-carved fireplace mantels. “In the great room, I created two sitting areas using larger items to make the room feel more approachable,” she says. “Introducing a variety of textures such as leather, linen and mohair also helped create visual interest.”

Quieter tones and less exuberant architectural details— including arched windows and a large arch over the master bathroom’s tub—define the master suite, which is meant to be a spa-like sanctuary. “The owners wanted a simpler, softer feel in their bedroom,” says Wyant, “yet it’s still very clean and elegant.” Similarly, the dominant reds employed elsewhere in the house give way to soothing blues and creams and a mixture of velvet, linen and silks.

In addition, original 18th- and 19th-century artwork adorn the walls, providing yet another critical layer to the home’s authenticity. “We wanted to start a collection of devotional artwork, and Lissa did that for us,” says Donna. “With her eye for detail, which was outstanding, she helped find the perfect pieces that fit the architectural characteristics of our Spanish Mission home.”

Entertaining extends to the outdoor living room, where the seating arrangement includes a sofa and chairs by Pavilion Furniture from Inside/Out Showrooms.

The tufted ottomans, and coffee and side tables are all by Taber & Company, and the chandelier is from Premier Lighting.

DESIGNER SHOW HOUSE This past November, Luxe Interiors + Design, the City of Beverly Hills and Friends of Greystone gathered to celebrate the VIP Preview of the Maison de Luxe designer show house at the historic Doheny Greystone estate in Beverly Hills, California. Over 500 VIP guests perused the reimagined rooms of this iconic estate while in sheer awe of its creativity, beauty and historic architecture. The Entertainologist, Lulu Powers, transformed the courtyard area into a decadent party atmosphere with dramatic lighting and luxurious furniture, exclusively provided by Frontgate. Guests enjoyed cocktails and assorted wines by Fantesca Estate & Winery indulged in delicious hors d’oeuvres.

The evening was enhanced by a special award dedication to Luxe Editor in Chief Pamela Jaccarino by the mayor of Beverly Hills, Julian A. Gold, M.D., for her commitment to the restoration of the Doheny Greystone estate. World-class pianist Alexander Borghese provided entertainment throughout the evening by tickling the ivories of Steinway & Sons’ Special Collection Red Pops piano, which was front row center in the estate’s grand hall. Luxe extends its gratitude to the participating designers, sponsors, vendors and showrooms for their generous support of this project.
