Reconfigure Your Sleep Strategy The DUX customizable component system is designed to help align your spine so it can rest in a natural, relaxed position for correct sleep posture. Regardless of your size or shape, every inch of your body enjoys even, continuous lift. As you move, the system conforms to your contours, providing even support along every point of your body.

NECK: Allowing your shoulders to sink in can also provide relief from neck and circulatory problems.

Shoulders sink in.

HIGH PERFORMANCE SLEEP SYSTEMS Available only at

LOWER BACK: While your shoulders and hips are allowed to sink in, The DUX Bed rises up to support your lower back.

HIPS: In The DUX Bed your hips are able to sink in. This lets them rest in a vertical position, which allows for the natural alignment of your spine.

PASCAL: OUR CUSTOMIZABLE SUPPORT SYSTEM Unless you and your partner are identical in shape, size and weight, you need a bed that will take your inherent differences into account. Our Pascal system of interchangeable spring cassettes allows you and your partner to individually customize your side of the bed for optimal bed support and comfort.

LEGS: The DUX Bed elevates your legs so your body and spine can lie in its natural position for Correct Sleep Posture.

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.”

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.”

HISTORY REPEATING AN ICONIC AMERICAN ESTATE SERVES AS A MUSE FOR WILDWOOD LAMPS & ACCENTS’ LATEST COMPENDIUM OF LIGHTING.

ARCHITECTURAL ANTIQUES: COURTESY AUTHENTIC PROVENCE.

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY CARA GIBBS PHOTOGRAPHY BY CLAUDIA URIBE

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.

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.

THE INSIDER STUDIO REVOLUTION

Jemy Massie and Emily Ellis form a powerful design duo, churning out fresh, industrial-chic spaces in and around San Francisco that utilize a lot of minimalistic, Scandinavian styles, as well as a rustic, not-too-pretty charm.

The pair met as childhood friends, but it wasn’t until 2012 that they joined forces and launched their own firm, Studio Revolution. Since then, they’ve garnered praise and accolades as emerging young designers in California.

Though they’re quick to point out that their individual aesthetics are quite varied—Massie gravitates toward structured accents and a monochromatic palette, while Ellis prefers lots of color and texture—when combined, their two divergent talents yield original and refreshing spaces. We sat down with the designers to get their take on what’s new and now in the industry and what they’re looking forward to in 2016. studio-revolution.us

@lssartadvisory

WHO: After leaving a successful career in finance to pursue her passion for the arts, Laura Smith Sweeney established LSS Art Advisory in San Francisco, where she guides her clients in identifying, acquiring and managing contemporary art collections.

WHAT: Photography, sculptures, paintings and even video installations appear in Sweeney’s perfectly curated feed as she attends art fairs, biennials and exhibitions around the globe.

WHY: Who wouldn’t want an insider’s up-to-theminute look at the art world? Whether attending The Broad museum opening in Los Angeles, an Ai Weiwei exhibition in London or San Francisco’s Fog Design+Art, Sweeney frames works that are both engaging and enriching.

IN HER WORDS: “My feed is art-centric, and the images are driven by my visceral reaction to pieces. I’m drawn to artwork that is visually compelling, but upon further investigation reveals a thought-provoking conceptual or political idea under the surface.”

CHECK IN

On the horizon: We’re really excited to see the evolution of modern, ethnic design that’s been emerging on the scene.

We love to incorporate products that are created by artisans around the world; they add cultural authenticity and character to any space. The Citizenry is one of our favorite places to shop online.

Can’t get enough of…

Designer Michael Anastassiades’ beautiful lighting. His minimalist, high-drama designs can stand on their own as statement pieces.

Happening in San Francisco: There’s an influx of artisans creating high-quality, handmade goods that we love to support. Be sure to check out Jacob May, Aleksandra Zee, Sarah Kersten and Clé.

Best shopping in San Francisco?

We love to visit the Design District for Dzine, B&B Italia, Arkitektura and Coup D’Etat; Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights for March, The Future Perfect, Hudson Grace and Jessie Black; and Valencia Street in the Mission for Aggregate Supply and Paxton Gate.

For the design-obsessed: First, stop by some of the city’s incredible art museums: Legion of Honor, de Young and the new SFMOMA are a must. Then, dine at some our favorite restaurants that combine great food with good design—Trou Normand, Octavia, Rich Table and Commonwealth.

AXIOM HOTEL

New to San Francisco’s Union Square, the recently opened Axiom Hotel is the brainchild of New York-based design firm Stonehill & Taylor, which is also responsible for some of New York’s greatest design-savvy stays, like the Ace, Refinery and Crosby Street hotels. Axiom is the firm’s first foray into the City by the Bay, and it’s a grand introduction to the neighborhood.

Inside, check out custom murals painted by local street artists, as well as an extensive art display that portrays how the city has changed throughout history. A palette of gray provides the base to the hotel’s colorful, geometric accents, and nods to the city’s thriving start-up scene can be seen throughout, such as via a mezzanine called the “Cloud” and room names like Nano & Mono Queen and Meta Queen. axiomhotel.com

What’s intriguing you now?

Tile design. There’s an abundance of shapes, textures and graphics to choose from. Commune, a Los Angeles-based design studio, has a handmade Sitio tile collection that is one of our favorites and is pushing boundaries. Who knew that calling out grout could be so awesome?

TALKING SHOP STEPHANIE BREITBARD FINE ARTS

When did you open? We welcomed our first guests at 843 Montgomery St. in November 2015. Why the Jackson Square neighborhood? Because it’s one of the most vibrant areas of San Francisco. We love the historic nature of the locale; plus, this small zone of the city is teeming with galleries, antiques dealers, high-end boutiques, some of the city’s best restaurants and the popular new member’s-only club, The Battery. Tell us about the space. We collaborated with Elizabeth Cooper Interior Design and Sutro Architects to create a unique gallery experience. We layered an eclectic mix of vintage and custom furniture, light fixtures and home accessories to craft a beautiful yet comfortable space to showcase artwork that is reminiscent of a sophisticated, modern home. On display? We always have a rotating group show, with over 300 works from over 50 artists available for viewing. Our art is contemporary and focuses on emerging to mid-career artists. What makes you stand apart?

In general, I tell clients, “Galleries curate galleries, but we curate homes.” Most galleries rotate through beautifully curated single-artist shows, but our gallery features multiple artists, since we are helping clients curate their entire homes and need to show them a variety of styles and genres. sbfinearts.com

ANDREA RUBELLI

ANTONIO PIO SARACINO

When it was just an idea… It took a few years just to find the right fiber and develop the kind of weave that I wanted. Luckily, a group of technicians at my mill got passionate about the project.

Design inspiration: Lighting is such an important aspect in everything I do so working with it in furniture was intriguing and unusual. The folding is the most important aspect because that’s where it releases more light; that’s where the oval shape and curves come from. There’s no shadow when you’re sitting so the perception is that your body is floating. It’s surreal; you lose the sense of dimension. It’s functional art.

About the design: I was making progress in terms of technology and started sharing the secret project with Antonio. When I was ready to upholster, I asked Antonio because it wouldn’t work on a Donghia sofa. The shape had to be designed with all the right curves to enhance the effect of light.

The technology: It’s a great time to play with lighting right now because technology is revolutionizing the industry. The source of light is an LED, which can be dimmed by remote. The LED throws the light into the fiber optics that is woven into the fabric as wefts. A seam or staple would cut the fiber optics—limitation drove the design details.

Limited release: We did 12 sofas, each with a constellation relating to the Zodiac. For these, there are two layers of fiber-optic, one with stretched fabric that allows the stars to shine. We launched the product in Los Angeles, the city of stars, which was a fun coincidence, and the others will be released one by one, starting with one in Milan in April, throughout the following years in art and design fairs and galleries.

When it came time for Rubelli’s CEO, Andrea Rubelli, to find a designer to transform his never-before-done fiber-optic woven fabric into a piece of furniture, Rubelli found it to be an easy choice. He called upon Italian-born and New York City-based architect and designer Antonio Pio Saracino, the celebrated creator praised for his use of technology and shape. With Rubelli’s weaving prowess and Saracino’s design finesse, what resulted was a sleek and sexy sofa with spaceship-like curves and cutting-edge technology: the Star sofa. Here, the duo shares how the project went from idea to installation. rubelli.com; donghia.com; antoniopiosaracino.com

DATE BOOK JOSEPH BECKER: SFMOMA

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art will reopen in May after a three-year-long hiatus to show off the results of a rather ambitious expansion project by renowned Norwegian architecture firm Snøhetta, one that will provide for a total of seven new floors of exhibition space to join the museum’s original Mario Botta-designed structure. It’s a major coup for securing recognition for San Francisco as one of the United States’ premier art destinations, a distinction that the museum’s curator Joseph Becker has never questioned. Here, in advance of the SFMOMA’s much-anticipated debut, Becker sits down with Luxe to share what makes the museum’s hometown a can’t-miss for art and culture. sfmoma.org 8 a.m. Wake up early and head to the Outer Sunset while it’s still socked in with morning fog—it’s one of my favorite things about San Francisco.

Put your name on the list at Outerlands, and then pop over to Trouble Coffee for some of the best cappuccino in town, and don’t skip the cinnamon toast. Breakfast at Outerlands is superb, and your toast and coffee will hold you over while you wait for your table (and you will).

10 a.m. After you eat, head to Carville Annex and the General Store—both are great shops to browse on your walk down to Ocean Beach for a morning stroll. Depending on how you made your way out to the edge of the city, you can head directly downtown on the N-Judah Muni line, but a bike ride through beautiful Golden Gate Park might be a more scenic option thanks to the de Young’s observation tower and the Conservatory of Flowers serving as highlights.

12 p.m. I’m obviously partial, but the SFMOMA is the highlight of your day’s adventure. Our brand-new expansion (opening May 14) offers one of the greatest collections of modern and contemporary art in the world, and we’ve been closed for long enough to drive the anticipation through the roof.

Among the must-sees are 260 works from the world-renowned Doris and Donald Fisher Collection of postwar and contemporary art (shown right); the Pritzker Center for Photography, which is the largest gallery, research and interpretive space devoted to photography in any art museum in the U.S.; and more than 600 artworks promised to the museum through our multi-year Campaign for Art. 3 p.m. If you’re not completely saturated with art, you can make an appointment to the Pilara Foundation at Pier 24—an incredible photography collection—or 500 Capp Street, one of San Francisco’s true art gems. It is

David Ireland’s decades-long sitespecific meditation on utility and sculpture that has just recently been opened to visits by appointment.

4:30 p.m. You’ve worked up an appetite, and it happens to be happy hour, so head down to Anchor & Hope and order a dozen oysters. It has a great raw bar, and the beer and wine menu is extensive.

6:30 p.m. Through the sea of dining options, one of my favorites is the unfaltering, always-delicious Zuni Café.

It avoids the theatrical and trendy in favor of refined and approachable dishes. Get the Caesar salad and the roasted chicken; it’ll be the best you’ve ever had, and it’s worth the wait.

9 p.m. It’s been a long day, so cap it off with a classic film at the Castro Theatre. Built in 1922 by local architect Timothy Pflueger, it remains one of San Francisco’s great movie houses.

NICOLE HOLLIS, SAN FRANCISCO Trademark: I’m all about simplicity with an edge: black, texture, cut and form.

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.

MOOD SWING

ALEXANDRA KAEHLER, CHICAGO

Trademark: My style is masculine balanced with feminine and old mixed with the new. I believe that these juxtapositions are what make a home complete.

Morning routine: Spending a couple of early hours with my daughter is the perfect way to start the day. Dream office: Mine is just that; our new office feels so fresh with tons of natural light and shelves upon shelves full of materials and samples for easy access to inspiration. Desktop items: I like a clean work space; clutter slows me down. But I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t a stray paper or two lying around. Personal stationery: Letterpress by Gadabout. Mood board: Clippings of new artists and collaborations, as well as personal photos from my travels (picturesque landscapes, striking outfits I see on the street). Never too many… Pairs of shoes. Can’t live without… Chicago pizza. Guilty pleasure: Chicago pizza. On trend: I’m loving rooms painted entirely in one color—walls, trims, window frames, all of it.

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.

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 178

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.

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

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

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

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

Some of today’s top industry professionals were asked about the state of residential remodeling. Their replies were enlightening, interesting and, in some cases, wholly unexpected. From open floor plans and green building to refined finishes and outdoor spaces with indoor quality, the modern home balances design, function and sustainability.

SUCCESS

“Setting proper expectations is so important when remodeling. All renovations include compromise, patience and trust.”

principal designer Tineke Triggs points to the opening of spaces as a top trend in renovation. “We often see homeowners opening up floor plans to create functional space for family time and entertaining,” she says. Triggs strives to bridge the gap between the architectural remodel and the interior redesign, making the process, which she says can be “an emotional roller coaster,” less stressful and more engaging.

She notes that a key factor when planning your own remodel is to make decisions, from the scale of the project to materials selection, early on. Chosen carefully, smaller projects can update an interior or exterior while requiring less time and financial commitment.

energy-efficient systems have all become must-haves,” Triggs says. For both the current homeowner’s enjoyment and the added resale value, renovation can prove a lucrative choice. The success of a project, especially one of a large scale, hinges on voicing intentions and understanding what to expect based on selection of professionals, financial situation and time constraints. To that end, Triggs identifies her go-to remodeling rule: “Good, fast and cheap—you can only pick two.”

NEVER SECONDGUESS YOURSELF THE POWER OF STONE Lustrous marble or limestone countertops on a master bathroom vanity, immaculate granite or marble on a kitchen island or sleek limestone covering an outdoor living space—surfaces can be the source of luxury in a home. As such, the desire to remodel is often born of a longing for upgraded materials and finishes, stone in particular. Known for the elegance they exude, granite, marble and limestone have become must-haves in the kitchen and bath. As Carmel Stone Imports president and CEO Robbie Robinson notes, “Homeowners in San Francisco are renovating their kitchens and bathrooms, both master and secondary, at an energetic pace.”

Ideal for the sophisticated, yet busy modern family, high-quality surfaces can give new life to a space, create a sense of decadence and keep high-traffic areas looking updated and elegant. “Over the past 10 years, the primary living area has shifted to become the kitchen,” Robinson says. “Homeowners want the finest finishes in this space, because it reflects the overall style of the home.” In regard to the selection process, Robinson’s main advice is that less is more. “For the countertop, select a stunning granite or marble with which you, the homeowner, fall in love,” he says. “Then select a simple, beautiful backsplash and a large-format stone tile for the floor, both of which complement the countertops and cabinets.”

Another trend at the forefront of residential renovation, especially in Northern California’s mild climate, is outdoor living. According to Robinson, homeowners are choosing to implement more luxury finishes outdoors than they might have previously. Of the role stone and tile plays, Robinson notes that personal satisfaction and resale value may both be at stake. “To justify their increasing value in the Bay Area, today’s high-end residences must have granite, marble and limestone in kitchens, bathrooms and exterior living areas,” he says.

MODERN AND MINIMAL Two requests are often made of Mark De Mattei: make it modern and make it minimal. The San Jose-based principal of De Mattei Construction shares that the goal of his typical renovation project is to turn an outdated home into a vision of clean lines and free-flowing floor plans. “Bright, open spaces with touches of wood, stone, marble and glass seem to be popular lately,” De Mattei says. “In addition, indoor-outdoor spaces that are more blended and user-friendly are in high demand. Using a backyard as an extension of your living space not only adds functional square footage, but is extremely family-friendly and convenient.” Simple, refined, functional and relaxing, minimalism has become the style of choice, allowing for living space backed by expansive views and gathering areas that promote time spent together,

THE HOMEOWNER SHOULD BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

even while the inhabitants go about their daily tasks. “Incorporating a minimalist aesthetic using sustainable or recycled materials has been an exciting trend that we hope continues,” De Mattei says. “Window wall systems have been extremely popular lately in conjunction with well-appointed outdoor living spaces.” It is clear from De Mattei’s portfolio that his clients’ tendency to pursue full-scale, top-to-bottom remodels has produced incredible results.

Still, he points to paint, finishes, windows and doors as being cost-effective refreshers that can change the overall feel of a home, and he notes the importance of knowing how much you plan to renovate. “We always sit down with the clients and go over all their options, often discussing the pros and cons of renovation versus a complete rebuild,” he says. “Every homeowner has a unique vision and it’s our job to bring that to life.”

t was the perfect match: a century-old estate that had seen better days and East Coast transplants who could see its potential. Happily, the two found each other.

The owners, who had watched friends transform their Gilded Age houses back East, were poised for the challenge of doing the same when they relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area. But, given the state of the 1915 house they purchased, they knew it wouldn’t be easy. “You really had to look hard to see the true beauty of this thing,” says the husband. “One hundred years of neglect was pretty obvious.”

To get things started, the owner and his wife hired a team— architect Bennett Christopherson, builder Nick W. Ozier and landscape architect Jeff George—that was just completing a project nearby. But the couple quickly realized that they needed a designer sooner rather than later and turned to Maria Tenaglia. “We brought in Maria to help us control things from an appearance perspective,” says the husband. “She helped us establish a vision to understand the project.” Given Tenaglia’s background in architecture, she was perfectly suited to advise on all aspects of the extensive renovation that lay ahead as well as keep a cohesive and stylish eye on the overall aesthetic.

“We went from zero to 60 in literally 48 hours,” Tenaglia says, recalling the time between the initial consult and getting the project underway. “The demo, design and build-out were only 22 months.” An aggressive schedule, considering four levels had to be gutted and rebuilt to modern earthquake codes. That’s not to mention the changes necessary to suit this young family’s modern lifestyle. The structure had fine elements of Georgian architecture, along with ornately paneled rooms, decorative plaster ceilings and intricately carved moldings. Yet the layout was a less-desirable holdover from when servants occupied warrens of small rooms beyond the large public spaces. “We wanted to respect the inherent architecture but at the same time give it the new lease on life that it desperately needed,” Tenaglia says.

To meet that goal and stick with the clients’ strict timeline, the design, construction and architectural plans needed to evolve simultaneously for the 12,900-square-foot house.

While Christopherson collaborated with the husband to rework the floor plan, Tenaglia worked with the wife on a plan to express their contemporary tastes within a deeply traditional setting. “I said we were going to think about the furniture in a different way, and the backdrop of the inherent architecture will simply be that—a backdrop,” explains Tenaglia. When it came to selecting pieces, the designer kept to clean lines and modern silhouettes. She custom-designed a sofa for the living room and paired it with a sleek gold-leaf-and-glass coffee table and an Ironies chandelier. The streamlined forms of the pieces create the perfect foil to the room’s intricate millwork.

Taking cues from the wife’s affinity for color—purple, aubergine and blue, in particular—the designer alternated those shades with what she calls “neutral zones” of cream and gold throughout the interiors. Although the living room stayed relatively muted, the dining room’s walls are sheathed with a deep blue, and the library is brimming with jewel tones. In the latter, Tenaglia dressed a pair of custom wing chairs with purple fabric and upholstered a tufted sofa with chartreuse velvet. “I approached the furnishings with a modern point of view,” says the designer. “The pieces are bold, elegant and

SF_LX9_NATpickup_Tenaglia_212-229.indd 215

very practical. And with the dynamic use of color throughout, the overall effect is unexpected and unique.” She worked in tandem with art advisor Tom O’Connor, who added another layer of interest by curating significant modern works for the main level and lower-level ballroom.

Christopherson, meanwhile, produced a layout that eliminated small secondary rooms in favor of an open kitchen, breakfast area and family room on the main floor and bigger bedrooms and a large master suite upstairs.

The gracious proportions of the ornate public spaces and elegant stair hall that branch off from the entry on the main level remained intact. “The flow of space between the public rooms was quite special, and we didn’t touch it,” Christopherson says, noting how the entry not only anchors the living room, dining room, parlor and conservatory, but is also on axis with breathtaking views of the city’s horizon.

For the reworked family areas, Tenaglia designed simpler moldings while keeping to the original proportions, and she updated much of the original trimwork with a creamy white paint. “Paint is the perfect medium for change,” she says, though it took a bit of convincing. “On the East Coast, dark paneling is more common, but from a Californian’s point of view, it just seemed too dark and formal for a young family.” But before the paint could be applied, samples of the original trim and moldings were set aside and cataloged so that they—and custom duplicates if needed—could go back in their place once Ozier’s team rebuilt the foundation, replaced the electrical and plumbing systems, and reinforced most walls. Ozier also kept, polished and reused many switchplates, doorknobs and other hardware. Unlike remodeling attempts in the house’s past, he says, “We were far more careful in constructing the house to pay attention to the original design and honor its intentions.”

Likewise, George nodded to the home’s history with rosebushes and citrus trees outside the glass conservatory— common garden designs for estate homes of this era—and he framed the entry with traditional spiral junipers and Italian cypress. But in the backyard, he created a modern-day playground with a boccie ball court, putting green and a large fire pit and conversation area. “That was the challenge,” George says. “Fitting in all of these contemporary uses, but also weaving them into the traditional aspects of the home.”

The owners give high praise to the entire team for meeting that exact challenge. “It’s a real sense of accomplishment,” the husband says. “We’ve fixed this house for the next 100 years.”

W

hile growing up in New Zealand, Joanne Zorkendorfer first discovered the allure of the handmade as a young girl when she spied her father kissing the bow of the boat he had just finished building. “He spent eight years making our family’s yacht, and I remember catching him at the end when it was finished,” she recalls.

“I thought it was kind of funny at the time, but it also planted an early seed about the loving relationship between the maker and the object.”

Although Zorkendorfer eventually landed in San Francisco and went on to spend years working with mass-produced products as the design director for a large industrial design consultancy, it was a sabbatical teaching job at the National Institute of Design in India that sparked a newfound interest in the small scale. “I was meeting with a lot of traditional craftspeople and found myself getting really nourished and inspired by them,” she says. “I quickly realized it was an area of work I wanted to devote my time to.” Two years later, Zorkendorfer left her full-time job and launched Olli, a luxury craft company designed to celebrate and support traditional artisans and handwork.

For her inaugural product, Zorkendorfer conceived of an oversize lounger. With its generous round shape, the plush design was the perfect blank canvas for a handmade textile.

While doing research, Zorkendorfer came across traditional embroidery by the Otomí people of Mexico, and she knew she’d stumbled across something special. “What appealed to me was how graphic it was,” she explains. “It felt really modern and fresh. And I loved that it was developed in the 1960s, so it was a newer craft.” With help from a textile historian, Zorkendorfer hired a collective of Otomí women to hand-embroider her covers. One cover takes one woman three to four months to complete.

Once the fabric arrives in her Mission District studio, Zorkendorfer has each cover sewn locally—complete with a leather base—before assembling them.

The finished result not only adds a bold statement to a room, but it’s truly a conversation piece. Zorkendorfer has since added pillows to her offerings, and she’s currently working on loungers that will be covered with a woven ikat from Majorca, Spain. “Part of my criteria for choosing crafts is that each one requires a lot of handwork,” she says. “That’s really what I’m trying to celebrate and those are the stories I’m trying to tell through Olli.”

Architect Mary Ann Gabriele Schicketanz designed a dramatic contemporary house, built by Todd Hunt and Forrest Hunt, for a couple’s site within Carmel’s Tehama development.

Landscape designer Bernard Trainor incorporated plantings natural to the setting.

A

visit to the lovely building sites within Tehama, located not far from the seaside village of Carmel-by-the-Sea, was all it took for Chris and Fred Brown to make a momentous decision. “We’d been thinking about finding a place where we could eventually retire,” says Chris, who had been living in the East Bay with her husband.

“A friend had suggested we explore joining Tehama’s golf course, and while investigating that, we began looking at properties.” The couple had entertained the idea of building elsewhere in the past, but “seeing the breathtaking sites at Tehama reignited that flame,” says Chris, adding, “Now, the time was right.”

Over time, the property—almost 7 acres within the exclusive Clint Eastwood development—continued to influence the vision for the serene home that is now seamlessly integrated into its surroundings. Looking for a

LX_SF9_Brown_234-247.indd 236

contemporary design that would capitalize on the site’s views, the couple turned to architect Mary Ann Gabriele Schicketanz. “The site was completely wooded except for a building area on a knoll with a road leading up to it,” explains Schicketanz. “Our breakthrough concept came from the idea of preserving the obvious building site as outdoor space, relocating the house and rerouting the drive.”

This course of action would give not only the house, but its outdoor living areas, as well, unobstructed panoramic views of Carmel Valley and the Santa Lucia Range. Within this siting, Schicketanz conceived of a residence and its guesthouse organized around a central courtyard. For the main structure, the architect devised a long and skinny volume marked by wood and glass. “It’s one large rectangle with tall windows, and it’s penetrated by plaster cubes that push through the glass walls,” she says. When deciding on the materials and finishes of the structure, the architect kept

both the couple’s wishes and comfort in mind. “The owners wanted a modern style,” she says. “And this concept is quite radical, but the choice of the finishes and materials gives the house a high degree of texture and ambience.”

In the main volume, for example, reclaimed-teak flooring and a fir ceiling warm the space, which is marked by floorto-ceiling fir-framed windows. The entry and the living and dining areas are flooded with natural light and provide little distinction between indoors and outside. According to builders Todd Hunt and Forrest Hunt, an expanse of 14-foot-tall windows on the south living area wall consists of three pieces of more than 1-inch-thick glass, which are fused at the seams with glass fins for stability and to meet the area’s wind load requirements. The result is a completely unlimited view of the landscape beyond.

Conversely, the three cubes that splice into the open volume—and individually contain the master suite, the kitchen and a library—are focused within. “During the day, you want to connect with the landscape, so you have a general living space that opens up to nature,” explains Schicketanz. “The large central space is very light; it’s like being outside under a tree canopy. We designed the plaster cubes as places to retreat whenever one seeks privacy or a cozy space.” All three rooms feature integralcolor plaster walls, travertine floors and niches set into 18-inch-thick walls framing French doors.

When it came to appointing the various spaces, an initial furniture plan was done by Schicketanz. The couple then worked with Elaine Bordogna—a designer and antiques dealer with a 1stdibs shop, Elaine Claire, who also happens to be part of the Brown family—and designer Rachelle Sessions of RKS Interiors to execute the design. Antiques the couple had purchased with Bordogna for their previous residence, including a large 19th-century Agra rug residing in the living area, now mingle with sleek contemporary items by Christian Liaigre and Jean de Merry.

The kitchen, which is set within one of the structure’s plaster cubes, features white-oak cabinetry designed by Schicketanz and fabricated by Martin C. Dehmler Fine Cabinetmaking. Murano glass pendants from Flexform hang above the island’s black granite countertop from Walker Zanger.

“To us, the drama of the house is in how it highlights the beauty of the setting,” says Chris. “We didn’t want the interior to compete with that, but enhance it. We wanted the interior to feel edited yet polished.” To lend a final layer to the space, art consultant Heather Marx of Heather Marx Art Advisory helped curate pieces by Ken Fandell and David Simpson.

Outside, the architecture is supported and enhanced by the efforts of the builders, as well as landscape designer Bernard Trainor. The builders utilized about 600 cubic yards of Carmel stone, which came out of the ground during construction. “We saved it all and used it for the garage, retaining walls, and the exterior walls of the guesthouse,” says Todd Hunt, who used the stone as a veneer over structural walls. The living room fireplace was formed from the stone, as well, bringing the texture inside.

Following Schicketanz’s lead, Trainor created what he calls “a variety of different landscape experiences.” Outside the building footprint, he added sculptural coast live oak trees and native grasses to augment those natural to the site. When it came to the central courtyard, things got a little more artistic. “We created a whole new understory of plantings with rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage around the gathering and sitting areas, and added olive trees for a canopy effect,” Trainor explains. “There’s a lot of crossover with the hardscape, and many of the plants come up through the gravel in the courtyard.” Additionally, Trainor refined the landscape around the driveway and installed a green roof above the garage.

The owners’ overriding desire of connecting the house with the land and making the views a focal point proved prescient. “The view of the mountains draws you in and the weather patterns are very dramatic,” Chris says. “Magical clouds give way to rolling blankets of fog that line the canyons. Whether it’s sunrise, sunset or the moon overhead, we are always aware and impacted by what’s happening outside. It’s a lovely way to live.”

USING WIRE AND FOUND OBJECTS, EMERYVILLE ARTIST MARI ANDREWS HELPS HER DRAWINGS LEAP OFF THE PAGE INTO THE THIRD DIMENSION

t the end of almost every day, Mari Andrews sits in her bright white loft-like studio with a pile of paper and simply draws, sketching multiple iterations of the same basic idea or form. “There’s kind of an evolutionary thing that goes on,” she explains.

“They become the seeds of new work.” For nearly two decades, her drawings themselves were the final product. But as they became more intricate, the artist left the page behind in favor of the third dimension. “I realized that I didn’t need the rectangular form of the paper or even a background, so I started drawing with wire,” Andrews explains. “Many people call this sculpture. To me, these are all still drawings.”

Using annealed wire that has been blackened to make it softer and more malleable, Andrews creates intricate and detailed shapes, which she punctuates with found elements, including acorns, seeds and pods. “I knot, twist or weld the wire, depending on its gauge,” she explains. “The elements are manipulated and glued together to add density or interest.” Hundreds of jars filled with these found objects line the shelves of Andrews’ studio—located in a non-profit artists’ cooperative in Emeryville—and provide a ready-made source for artistic inspiration. When

LXSF09_SM_Andrews_248-251.indd 250

Andrews recently happened upon a bountiful bunch of dried dahlias and zinnias, for example, she ground them in a blender and glued the remnants to paper. “It’s a new kind of drawing,” she explains. This kind of inventive approach and Andrews’ repeated use of natural and man-made found objects creates a body of work that relates to itself in unexpected ways, allowing the individual pieces to be grouped into installations that create a broader meaning.

“It’s like a private language or an alphabet that’s mine, and people can bring their own associations to the grouping,” she explains.

“The pieces are different but still related.”

Inspired by a wide variety of influences, including Native American petroglyphs that she has scouted on visits to New Mexico, Utah and Nevada, many of Andrews’ shapes have been stripped down to their essence. “I’m always trying to find new forms,” she explains.

“Reductive work holds whatever meaning you bring to it. To me, that is the mystery that makes it interesting.” According to Andrews, there is a definite ecological message underpinning her work, as well. “Pay attention to the things around you,” she explains. “Hiking, walking, enjoying nature. It’s about seeing what’s out there and what makes the world so fascinating and wonderful. Let’s not destroy it.”

Emeryville artist Mari Andrews (opposite, top left) works with wire and found objects, which she stores in jars and bowls (opposite, top and bottom right) around her studio, to create her threedimensional pieces (above and previous pages, right).

SEAMLESS CONNECTION THROUGH A CURATED PALETTE OF MATERIALS AND FURNISHINGS, A BAY AREA HOME FEELS AS THOUGH IT WERE CREATED FROM THE CALM SURROUNDING LANDSCAPE. WRITTEN BY LAURA MAUK / PHOTOGRAPHY BY PAUL DYER

A

landscape can exist as a magnificent backdrop for a house. Or, a home and its surroundings can blend so seamlessly that you sometimes forget whether you’re inside or out. Of course, the great midcentury modern designers and architects had this idea in mind when they employed sliding glass doors, large window systems and open floor plans. But when designer Kendall Wilkinson and architect Ken Linsteadt recreated a house in the Bay Area, they had more in mind: a home that looks as if it were crafted from the very earth around it.

“There are sweeping vistas of rolling hills and a beautiful sky,” Wilkinson says. “The light is golden and the landscape is ocher. We wanted to create something that would let the clients easily float in and out of that and feel the peacefulness of the landscape even when they’re inside.”

The clients, a couple and their young son, were living nearby when they discovered the property. Drawn to the beauty and solitude of the site, they purchased it and called Wilkinson. “I’d previously designed a home for this family,” she says. “They’re curious, intelligent and very interested in high-quality design and art. They wanted LUXESOURCE.COM / 253

LXSF9_Wilkinson_252-265.indd 253

their new house to reflect that.” But before Wilkinson could begin placing the work of great designers and artists, she needed a great architect. The designer realized the house should be significantly reworked and knew Linsteadt was the right person for the job.

“It was Mediterranean in style,” says Linsteadt. “But the wife wanted something modern; she showed me images of square houses with flat roofs.” The architect reconciled the two with a design that balances a modern style with an old-world aesthetic. “I’m always trying to achieve timelessness,” he says. “I thought about what a modern house built four hundred years ago might look like.” What bloomed from his imagination is a series of rectilinear forms clad with materials that evoke the landscape.

There’s gold-toned Minnesota limestone, creamy-colored plaster and lots of glass framed lightly with steel. “It was an epic remodel,” says the architect, who practically took the house down to its studs. “But I considered what was there.”

One of the elements Linsteadt maintained was a sizable turret. “I loved its cylindrical form,” he says. “It reminded me of Le Corbusier’s great modern houses, so I played it up, making it a counterpoint to the linear forms.”

LXSF9_Wilkinson_252-265.indd 254

Landscape architect Terri McFarland, who worked with principal Ron Lutsko, Jr., thought of linear forms, too, when designing the home’s front terrain. “I created a plinth of long concrete walls and rows of Desert Museum paloverde trees to visually support the massing of the house,” she says. “The trees are lacy and open and they don’t obscure the architecture.”

Inside, Wilkinson and Linsteadt worked together to develop exactly the right materials for the interior architecture. “A house should look great without any furniture,” Wilkinson says. “The walls, floors, treatments and finishes should be incredible enough that if you took the building, shook it upside down and everything fell out, you’d be left with a beautiful canvas.” There are bleached European-oak plank floors throughout the house, and most of the walls display a textured plaster that catches the sunlight as it pours through the windows. Bronze fireplace inserts present as minimalist sculpture in the living room and near the pool. In addition, the same split-faced limestone used on the exterior reappears on the walls of the foyer as a way to unify the indoor and outdoor spaces. “It took time to realize what the materiality of the spaces would be,” builder Glen Sherman says. “We used many different

textures and finishes,” construction manager Patrick McGuire adds, “but all of it came together as a cohesive look.”

Complementing that thoughtful backdrop, Wilkinson selected furnishings that would “bring the house to life with the personality of the various objects that are a reflection of the owners,” says the designer. The ocher-colored rugs and upholstered pieces she selected for the rooms further connect the indoor and outdoor spaces. “I added some green and blue tones because the clients’ son loves water,” she says. “You can’t get too crazy with color or the eye is unable to flow back and forth between the interiors and the landscape. I also didn’t include window treatments for the same reason.” The understated palette allows the iconic furniture and art to have the spotlight. For example, a framed view of a Deborah Butterfield sculpture in the landscape is seen from the library, where Wilkinson hung a bronze pendant by Hervé Van der Straeten above a midcentury bronze table designed by Philip and Kelvin LaVerne. In the entry, a massive metal-wire sculpture by

by Christophe Côme. The living room displays a Christian Liaigre chaise lounge, vintage Art Deco scallop-back armchairs covered with gold velvet, and a silvered-glass wall sculpture by Teresita Fernández. An enormous light fixture Wilkinson and Linsteadt designed and commissioned from Jeff Zimmerman features clusters of glass bubbles that cascade from the top of the stairwell down to the bottom.

“The furnishings are artful, but all are used in day-to-day living,” Wilkinson says. This is especially true of the massive tub custom-designed for the master bathroom. Made of faceted white onyx, it looks as if it were chiseled right out of the earth. “It’s exquisite, like so many of the things you see in and around this house,” Wilkinson says. “The home is a reflection of its owners. They are true connoisseurs and had a deep focus into studying and understanding the quality and craftsmanship behind the materials, furnishings and art.

Their collaboration made it a truly enriching experience for everyone involved with the project.”

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.
