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,

RADAR / MADE IN AMERICA

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.

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.

“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.

@kateprice

WHO: Photographer and ice cream enthusiast Kate Price always brings a film camera on the road—her favorite being the Contax 645. Whether at home in Seattle or abroad, she’s ready for whenever the mood lighting strikes. WHAT: Price’s Insta-goals revolve around capturing “all of the good parts of life.” Visitors to her feed can expect snaps of quiet, idyllic moments and grand European adventures alike.

Going on now through the beginning of May, the Bellevue Arts Museum is serving as the nation’s first venue to host “Louis Kahn: The Power of Architecture.” The new exhibit, organized by Germany’s Vitra Design Museum, will be the first major retrospective of the groundbreaking 20th-century architect’s revolutionary work in two decades. “Kahn distinguished himself by demonstrating the role of architecture in transforming a community into an experience,” says Stefano Catalani, BAM Director of Art, Craft & Design. “This is an incredibly relevant concept for our region during this time of growth and expansion.” Visitors can expect a full immersion into the midcentury master’s artful command of spatial composition, geometry and light, as well as breathtaking watercolors that beautifully detail Kahn’s travels across three continents. Drawings and sketches, photographs, films and models all speak to the extensive influence and remarkable range that landed Kahn in the company of prestigious peers in the design world like Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright. bellevuearts.org

IN HER WORDS: “One of my favorite people on Instagram right now is @brooke_eide of Flintmade. She has an amazing eye for design and is super-talented. I’ve also been a longtime fan of Cory Staudacher, too, over at @withhearts and love his work.”

BLUEPRINT VANCOUVER ART GALLERY

The team at Herzog & de Meuron has unveiled its vision for a new Vancouver Art Gallery—the fourth expansion and move for the museum since 1931. “The museum will offer a wide range of very different gallery spaces,” explains the firm’s principal Pierre de Meuron, “different in size and proportion, different in light conditions and views, but also different in their materiality and their positioning within the topographic complex of the museum.” Considered overdue in light of the gallery’s extensive collection and ambitious programming, the new facility at Larwill Park will double the space of the current Robson Square location—and enhance the city’s reputation as an international center for art. vanartgallery.bc.ca

WHY: Her many experiences with shooting weddings have given Price an uncanny ability to unify tone.

As principal of Dyer Studio Inc. and Archipelago Tile, Portland creative director Stephanie Dyer splits her time between full-service interior projects and “handmade, hydraulic-pressed cement tile with a modern, patterned persona.” Dyer’s striking tile designs command attention to her studio on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, where she dedicates herself to “elevating the human experience and offering deeper connections with the built environment” through personalized design consultations. We’ve tapped her expertise on the best and most enjoyable way to tackle a Portland interior project—literally from the ground up. stephaniedyer.net 9 a.m. Meet at my studio to start the day and browse Archipelago Tile’s collections. Grab samples to reference throughout the day’s ventures. 10 a.m. Brunch at Sweedeedee. Order at least one breakfast burrito, chocolate chip cookie, pie of the day and mimosa. (It helps to go with friends.) Thanks to its honest ingredients and cozy environment, it makes you feel like you’re eating at your favorite aunt’s farmhouse. 11 a.m. Accessories can be a great starting point for a project. Drive down Mississippi Avenue and stop in Pistils Nursery for unique houseplants. While you’re on Mississippi, too, stop at Beam & Anchor. Pick up an accent chair, a cozy throw or a collection of handmade pottery pieces. 12 p.m. Head south into Milwaukie to Clayhaus Ceramics’ headquarters and production facility, and meet the

husband-and-wife team behind the operation, Megan and Jason Coleman. There, watch raw clay being extruded into sheets and cut into flat field tile shapes; see the ram press form threedimensional tiles; check out the spray station to learn how glazes are applied; and peek into the kilns to catch sight of the latest orders. Then, browse the display boards and plan a remodel around a truly original focal point. 1 p.m. Given the accessories and tile selections in the works, it’s time to shift focus to furniture. On the way back south, take a slight detour to the Woodstock neighborhood. Peruse The Joinery’s showroom and pick out a handsome, handcrafted dining set. 2 p.m. Next stop: Hit up Made on Belmont. Go ahead and place an order for beautiful, custom bedroom furniture and talk through some possibilities for a custom built-in entertainment center.

3 p.m. Head into the Pearl for a late lunch at Caffe Allora—authentic Italian in an intimate setting. The friendly, personalized service there is unbeatable. Order the classic spaghetti al sugo di carne. 4 p.m. Around the corner you’ll find Hive. Here’s where you select a living room set—sofa, loveseat and lounge chair—and a cluster of pendant lights for the dining room. 5 p.m. With the major furniture pieces in place, it’s time to pull it all together with the perfect rug. On the same block, you’ll stumble upon Atelier Lapchi, where Meg and Sasha will guide you through the showroom’s extensive offerings. 6 p.m. It’s time for a cocktail—you’ve earned it. Head toward the West End and into Clyde Common to round out the Portland experience. My vote: Toast your day with the Spelling Bee.

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.

HALLIE HENLEY, HOUSTON Trademark: My style is glamorous with a modern twist. Morning routine: Cuddling with my 9-month-old daughter, Scarlett. If she has her bottle and I have my coffee, I’ve already started off the day happy. Desktop items: My MacBook Pro, Kayce Hughes artwork I picked up from Rivers Spencer in New Orleans, a Moleskine sketchbook where I keep my notes and my father’s Montblanc pen. Personal stationery: Number Four Eleven in Savannah and Lavender & Mint in Houston. Mood board: Mine is a result of falling down the Instagram rabbit hole, and it’s where you’ll find work from artist Alexis Walter and architect Bill Ingram, to name a few. Never too many… Monogrammed linens. Can’t live without… My red lipstick. Guilty pleasure: Fabric. Sources of inspiration: Vintage out-of-print design books, estate sales and old classic movies—I can definitely credit Auntie Mame as being a push toward a life in design. On trend: Chintz is the new ikat. And wallpaper (everywhere!).

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.

WILD CARD

ASHLEY DARRYL, NEW YORK Trademark: I call my style “disciplined eclecticism,” because I love to mix periods while keeping everything minimal and not overly decorated. Morning routine: My dad always tells me “look good, feel good, do good,” so I try to start my day by dressing in whatever I feel comfortable and confident in.

Desktop items: A John Derian four-leaf clover paperweight and piles of lined notebooks. Personal stationery: Connor. Mood board: Flower arrangements. I love seeing bouquets with color palettes I may not have put together on my own. Never too many… Plants and flowers. Can’t live without… A cozy throw blanket. Guilty pleasure: Compartés chocolate bars and Diptyque candles. Sources of inspiration: Designers Steven Gambrel and Billy Baldwin (I look to their books often) and vintage furniture. On trend: I’m more into designing a home around patterns, colors and décor with longevity.

Displaying restraint… Kara Mann’s benches are cool and current yet also possess a timelessness to them that isn’t over-designed. The main lines of the piece… Are defined in solid black, providing a frame to emphasize the natural wood grain of the base; from a creative perspective I think it’s brilliant and beautiful. The attention to detail and beautiful finishing… Is an example of Baker’s trademark of uncompromising standards towards well-made furnishings. Luxury is a by-product of superior quality and sophisticated design. I always examine… Circulation, scale and the language spoken between pieces when creating areas conducive to conversation. Kara has done a wonderful job… Designing a versatile, clean, perfectly proportioned line, and I am excited to use her pieces in our clients’ spaces.

I find this collection to be… Confident, playful and feminine. It has a timeless Hepburn-like quality without alienating those who lean toward masculine design. I’m at my creative best when… I am pushing the boundaries, and Kate Spade’s new furniture line does just that, apparent in the bow tie back detailing—a distinct motif of the company reinterpreted for an instant-classic dining chair. I am attracted to the bold… Example of Kate Spade’s ability to marry two of their most signature elements together: bows and polka-dots. The chairs embody… The brand’s embrace on the interiors world, displaying both formality and playfulness alongside masculine and feminine notes. The sweep of the legs is very distinctive… And the black-and-white polka-dot pattern speaks to confidence and individuality.

Fashion, design, art and architecture… Are all variations on a creative theme. Some of the best furnishing collections are born from fashion icons, often causing a tidal wave of symbiotic brand revival. 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.

A Cartier Love bracelet got a fur coat... Was our first impression of Lee Industries’ insightful take on a classic sling chair. We’re so attracted to the mix of... Organic and industrial, soft and hard, furry and shiny. Those foils create aesthetic interest and can translate in almost any setting. This single chair can add... Softness and warmth to a stark modern space or bring a maximalist room a sense of calm modernity. Where design really gets fun and memorable... Is when you start collecting valuable—not necessarily expensive—well-crafted treasures that have a history, a story and a sense of place. We love seeing the emergence of creative artisans in America and abroad. Luxury is a contract... Between maker and acquirer. The passion and talent of a great craftsman is married to the owner appreciating and understanding the beauty of an object that is made with a heart and soul.

It would also be stunning in a foyer paired with a massive piece of artwork.

2016 marks Woodard’s 150th anniversary, a testament to the quality of its products and service. Founded in Owosso, Michigan, where its handcrafted outdoor furnishings and accessories are still manufactured today, Woodard’s unique business model has lent itself to more than a century of success. “Our longevity can partly be attributed to offering a diverse array of designs and the ability to customize (including COM).

During its tremendous tenure as a premier outdoor furnishings manufacturer, the company has seen trends in design and lifestyles come and go, to only return again.

• Fire features are being incorporated into the patio or poolside hardscape rather than being separated from the main space. • A focal point, aka “conversation space,” around the fire feature is a new, much-welcomed standard. • Spaces are being built to extend the outdoor living season through shading, heating and fabrics (draping to use space during rain). • Colors continue to trend to modern gray (dark and light), along with cream, with small pops of color. • Fixtures mimic indoor fixtures (outdoor furniture and décor resembles indoor furniture and fabrics). • Complete outdoor bathrooms are being added to eliminate the need to enter the primary living space.

Creating an outdoor space that is personal and built upon the homeowner’s living style is key.

Outdoor furnishings have undergone subtle but well-received transformations over the

past few years, starting with the movement toward more pared-down, contemporary designs and neutral palettes. At the forefront of today’s outdoor furnishings—a leader not only in aesthetics but also composition—is Pride Family Brands. The contemporary, luxury

Soft colors, minimalist designs. “The new neutral follows the trend of simplicity, with whites and grays appearing in cushions,” Lowsky says. High-end finishes. Outdoor finishes have historically sacrificed design for durability, but today’s options, including platinum and jasmine, achieve a luxurious, modern motif. Made-to-last materials. “With a natural resistance to corrosion and rust, aluminum offers strength and easy care,” Lowsky says. “It also offers a range of style options, including cast, wrought and extruded designs.” Warmth + ambience. Fire table designs in classic and contemporary styling remain a highly popular addition to today’s outdoor spaces, along with accessories to extend the enjoyment of gathering around the fire.

outdoor furnishings and accessories purveyor has been providing best-in-class products for more than four decades, giving way to artisanal outdoor environments that speak to practicality and design. “The functionality of each piece, whether action seating, state-ofthe-art fire features or intricate cast elements, is a result of the total attention to detail for which Pride Family Brands is known,” shares the company’s CEO Steve Lowsky. “Further,” he adds, “our hundreds of options in design, finishing, fabrics and details enable each piece to deliver personal outdoor artistry.”

CHOWN HARDWARE CELEBRATES FANTINI’S “100 FONTANE” HUMANITARIAN PROJECT Fantini is passionate about how water, as a vital human resource, can change the future of a country. “100 Fontane: Fantini for Africa” is a project dedicated to improving the wellbeing of the men, women, and children of Burundi, one of the poorest countries on the planet. AN ICONIC FAUCET FOR A HUMANITARIAN PROJECT: 100 FOUNTAINS FANTINI FOR AFRICA. WHEN DESIGN DOES GOOD DEEDS.

In the village of Masango procuring a safe and convenient water supply is a challenge the locals face everyday. The aim of the “100 Fontane” project is to bring drinking water closer to the houses of the Masango area, where the inhabited settlements are widely spread out over a vast hilly territory. The re-release of the iconic Balocchi faucet line originally designed in 1978 marks Fantini’s commitment to the community of Burundi. Fantini will donate all of the proceeds from every sale of the Balocchi collection to the “100 Fontane: Fantini for Africa” project. Chown Hardware will be supporting their efforts by selling the Balocchi collection through their showrooms in Portland and Seattle.

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 210

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

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 spaces—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

COOL BREW

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

SPLASH ZONE

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

Some of today’s foremost experts were asked to weigh in on the state of residential renovations. Their replies proved educating, fascinating and in some cases, surprising. We learned that ease of living is a top priority, and while ornate designs are a thing of the past, the preservation of a home’s original character is key.

HIGH DESIGN + GREEN BUILDING The modern home must satisfy a range of requirements, from spacious, open floor plans and high-end, yet durable finishes to state-of-the-art appliances and innovative features. Brothers Joel, Steve and Tom Glass of Design Guild Homes reinforce this idea with their list of essentials. “Must-haves for a high-end home include an open floor plan, quality surfaces, zoned climate control, lighting control, motorized shades and quality fixtures,” Joel says. “In terms of the exterior, high-end homes should have some outdoor living spaces along with a complete landscape.” Members of Built Green, an organization that aims to better inform and promote environmental stewardship and standards, the home builders note that sustainable materials and methods are highly preferred. Asked to identify some common mistakes homeowners make when beginning a renovation, Steve gives two crucial pieces of advice. “Have a realistic budget, and don’t skimp on the design,” he says. “Additionally, listen to your team and try to stay informed when it comes to trends and innovations. Otherwise, you could end up bringing a home from 1985 to 2005, not 2016.”

SEAMLESS ENVIRONMENTS A preference for organized, clutter-free living has long been building in the design industry, and as such, function is increasingly a motivator behind residential remodeling. According to California Closets of Portland owner Darci Fredricks, implementing ideal solutions in high-traffic areas can play a crucial role in the achievement of a home that functions ideally in every way. “People in Portland are looking for ways to reduce their building footprint and increase multipurpose spaces,” Fredricks says. “We are also seeing that aging in place

ACHIEVING YOUR AESTHETIC:

A CONVERSATION WITH DAWN WILKINSON OF SIX WALLS Do you have any go-to “rules” or practices you use when approaching a renovation project? We always start by having the client show us the features that are and are not working for them in their current space. What are some quick fixes to achieve a more updated interior? New paints on the walls, changing out decorative hardware and updating light fixtures can make an impact. What are some new design elements/styles or innovations in renovation about which you are excited? Clients have become more daring with their finish selections. They’re not shying away from dramatic finishes and palettes, which, as a designer, is so much fun!

repurpose them.” While contemporary and transitional designs prevail, Wilkinson warns against ignoring the existing character of a home. “It is possible to have a coordinated, beautiful, classic space without having to force an aesthetic where it doesn’t fit stylistically,” she says. “You also don’t want to sacrifice your personal tastes.” Wilkinson points to the assembling of a great team as the first and most important step in any renovation, followed by creating a plan. “The most common mistake is lack of planning,” she says. “Organization is key.” Given the fast-paced lifestyles of today’s busy families and professionals, modern interior environments are less for show and more for seamless living. “The spaces our clients desire are not overly ornate, but fresh and sophisticated with tonal palettes that relate to the natural environment,” Wilkinson says. “They are also looking for designs that incorporate aging in place concepts, considering people of all abilities in the long-term planning of a space.”

DEFINING DETAILS It is often the details that make a home elegant. For this reason, hardware is an important factor to consider during a renovation project. It could be the finishing touch to a whole-home remodel or the perfect way to refresh a space without committing to a large-scale project. Builders’ Hardware & Supply Company president and chairman Greg Lunde, along with senior vice president Clif Tedrick, corporate vice president Randy Dalseg and vice president dealer division Aaron Davis, explains the significance of hardware. “Updating door trim throughout the house can be a quick fix that provides the most visual impact for your dollar,” Lunde says. “Entry door hardware, including house

a space as much as a fresh coat of paint.” Asked to elaborate on the specific hardware that has become central in the high-end home, Lunde points to products that aid in facilitating design elements that may be structurally challenging. “There is a growing desire to add function without losing style,” he says. “High-end statement pieces for the front door are a classic option. Large front entries utilize products such as pivot hinges, concealed floor closers and designer grip handles.” A unique

trend Lunde touches on is the emergence of barn doors and track hardware, which are ideal for tight spaces and can now be customized to suit any aesthetic. As for his advice to those beginning a renovation, Lunde recommends careful budgeting and consideration of all factors before breaking ground. “Budget overruns can happen, and finish hardware is always the last thing to be purchased,” he says. “As a result, finish hardware can suffer. People also underestimate product lead times for specialty hardware; that is why strong communication is important from the start. It is key to plan

THE NATURE OF RENOVATION “Remodeling is really a service, not a product,” says Clint Jones, owner of Metropolitan Remodel. “It requires a lot of curiosity, creative thinking, communication and collaboration. You never know what you’ll find.” Jones’ philosophy sheds light on the importance of hiring the right people and spending ample time working with them. A renovation project, whether on a large or small scale, will likely have multiple professionals working at once, making collaboration vital. An expert in building, and

Enter Tish Oye of Glassworks, a company that specializes in satisfying each of these three key requirements—and more. “Our clients want something custom-made for them, a luxury item that is easy to maintain,” Oye says. “In addition, the Pacific Northwest experiences many overcast days.

Warm, earthy elements, such as a massive stacked-stone fireplace with an oil-rubbed bronze surround and gray limestone flooring from Statements Tile, predominate in a Mercer Island home designed by architect Regan McClellan. The Cumaru-wood flooring in the living area is from Genesee Custom Floors & Interiors.

W

hen you’re inside, you feel like you’re outdoors,” says architect Regan McClellan of the modern home he designed along the shore of Lake Washington. For many years, McClellan’s clients lived in a traditional 1950s rambler that originally stood on the steep sloping lot. While they appreciated its scenic locale and large terrace overlooking the lake, they dreamed of a contemporary home with a stronger connection to its surroundings. So, they joined forces with McClellan to realize their vision—a steel, stone, cedar and stucco structure. “We used steel because it has the strong, substantial feel that the owners wanted,” says McClellan. “But at the same time, it gave us the structural freedom to open up the views.” To make the most of the spectacular views, McClellan conceived a multilevel structure with a garage and guest apartment at the top of the site and the home’s main levels situated along the lakefront—all connected via an elevator. However, “the challenge of this site was a 40-foot-tall bank that we had to negotiate,” McClellan says. To get around this obstacle, builder Tom Jergens brought in materials and equipment using barges and cranes. “It was almost like a cliff,” he says. “Most people would take one look at that site and look the other way.” After building a retaining wall, Jergens and his crew used jackhammers to create the elevator shaft and shoveled the loose clay into a container to be hauled up by crane and off-site.

Designer Betty Blount grouped custom Christian Grevstad sofas, a pair of club chairs by Ralph Pucci International and an oak-and-metal coffee table by Jiun Ho, all from Terris Draheim, to create a cozy seating space in the living area. A pair of steel beams imply a separation between the space and the kitchen.

The lot presented as much of an opportunity as it did a challenge for landscape architect Kenneth Philp. “The key was developing a sense of procession down through the site,” Philp says. “We created unique transitional spaces and arrival points that feel gracious and inviting”—from the auto court in front of the garage at the top of the hill, to a winding path that leads down past a grove of Japanese maples, to a living garden wall with flowers selected for their fragrance as well as their aesthetic. “There’s a moment of arrival at the front door, and then the path turns and continues,” Philp adds. “It’s a beautifully designed building that feels wonderfully connected to the landscape and the view.” Indeed, rather then taking up the whole lakefront with the footprint of the home, McClellan carved out ample space for a spacious outdoor living area. “We gave the outdoor room a front row seat to that lake view,” he explains. “At the same time, we really engaged the interior spaces with it.” The centrally situated kitchen, for example, is adjacent to both the outdoor living area and the home’s great room. A 4-foot-wide implied circulation path defined by steel columns divides the kitchen and living areas and extends outside where it becomes a planting bed that separates the outdoor spaces.

In the kitchen, granite countertops from Rockwood Stone and a glass-tile backsplash from Ann Sacks complement the bespoke afromosia-wood cabinetry by IsGood Woodworks. The custom metal pendants are from Hammerton, and the A. Rudin barstools are from Trammell-Gagné. The appliances are from Arnold’s Appliance.

Floor-to-ceiling and clerestory windows flood the interior with natural daylight and celebrate the lofty ceiling heights, while an intermediary 8-foot-high horizontal steel beam around the perimeter creates a smaller sense of scale within the larger space; likewise, the warm palette of natural materials and colors makes for a feeling of coziness. In contrast to the large windows looking out to the lake, the back of the home built into the hill includes blank, windowless walls that were designed with the owners’ art collection in mind. “There’s a funny tension there,” McClellan says. “We have this great art, so we needed walls to hang it on, but at the same time we still wanted to take advantage of these views.” Striking a similar balance are the interiors conceived by designer Betty Blount, who came on early in the project to consult on the finishes and select the furnishings. “The clients weren’t looking for trendy pieces,” Blount explains. “They wanted a very clean aesthetic, and they also had a few art pieces and furnishings that they wanted to showcase.” Tailored yet unstuffy furnishings in neutral fabrics complement both the wood floors and ceilings in the great room, as well as the stone, steel and stucco elements that have been carried into the interior. “Even though some of the materials feel cool, the owners wanted a sense of warmth,” adds Blount. Though the house presented a fresh chapter for the clients, they requested a few elements to be retained in the new design. So, McClellan made sure they still had a spacious outdoor terrace, and a massive existing boulder was repositioned near the steps leading to the lake. Says McClellan, “That was a wonderful way to memorialize an original object from the landscape that they absolutely loved.”

A ceramicist specializing in mosaics, Ruth Frances Greenberg (above right with her Yorkie, Lucy) sketches the design for a 5-foot medallion to be installed in a pool in New York (above). Greenberg works out of her Northeast Portland studio, which offers space to create new pieces and store kilns (right).

f Ruth Frances Greenberg—a Portland ceramicist specializing in mosaics—hadn’t wound up in ceramics when film studies was full, we may never have been privy to the magic of her work. It only took two days in a mixed undergraduate/graduate ceramics class and she was hooked. So much so, that she would arrive to the classroom two hours prior to the other students. “It was fantastic,” she recalls. “Working with clay was so physical and involved all of me. It enabled me to bring all levels of myself to creating.” The daughter of renowned architect Allan Greenberg, the ceramicist draws on her father’s influence and determination, as well as his integrity and care, along with other present-day inspirations. “I love art and natural imagery,” says Greenberg, who moved to Portland 23 years ago. “I enjoy working with colors, patterns and shapes and seeing how things grow.” Greenberg creates everything from mosaics—often on a large scale—to art and firebox tile, and has designed and fabricated collections for both Ann Sacks and Waterworks. It’s a full plate that she enjoys balancing from her Northeast Portland studio, where she manages roughly five projects at a time. “I’m always trying to make something that speaks to its context,” she says, “that will look good in 100 years and make people happy.” Rich in imagery and ornamental scope, Greenberg’s creations blur the lines of design and art, exhibiting both an old-world quality and a certain timelessness, but are also modern and relevant. While she’s recognized for her exploration of shape and color—she’s also known to go unorthodox and layer glazes on painterly surfaces—Greenberg’s passion resides in understanding new techniques and refining her aesthetic, especially her latest work, a new collection of tableware and accent pieces. “The art should come alive because it’s mosaic,” she says. “I believe one can sense that this work is truly handmade and there is a magnetism and sensuality that results.”

or Tamara and Erik Nelson, the property they had owned for years in Edmonds, Washington, offered picture-postcard views of the Puget Sound, not to mention being within walking distance of downtown and the weekend farmer’s market. To build a home on the special spot, they turned to architect Geoff Prentiss. “There was an existing late-1940s house on the lot, but the site was more dramatic than the house acknowledged,” explains the architect. “Also, since the previous home was built, new structures had come up on either side. The new house would have to be carefully located to offer expansive views to the sound and mountains without being hampered by neighboring structures or the railroad that was just below the cliff. It was important to figure out how we could maximize their sense of being connected to this property.”

Prentiss sought to unveil the house and its charms slowly. The driveway curves in a roundabout way, leading to a front courtyard with a small seating area, where, protected from the waterside winds, the couple can enjoy the sunshine and the work of landscape designer Carol Rea. For her part, Rea balanced the manicured lawn with more wild plantings closer to the water. “It was about creating the right segue to the natural landscape,” she says. Rea used vine maples on the home’s northern side to soften the façade and incorporated both Douglas fir and shore pines for screening. “The clients also wished to have edible gardens throughout the landscape,” she explains. “So we have several fruit-bearing plants scattered in with the landscape trees and shrubs that provide color, contrast and texture throughout the year.”

Cedar siding in a hallway, punctuated by a splash of orange, enhances the indoor-outdoor connection. The wide-plank engineered American-walnut floors are by Kentwood Floors from Mac’s Wholesale Flooring. The antique chair is from the homeowners’ collection.

Caesarstone countertops, featuring an integrated Grohe sink and faucet, contrast boldly with the granite from Meta Marble & Granite on the kitchen island, where West Elm barstools congregate. The adjacent dining area features an Altura Furniture table from Terris Draheim and Dakota Jackson chairs from Elinor & Verve. The lights are by Galilee Lighting.

The Nelsons, who had worked with Prentiss before, appreciated “his focus on natural light and his ability to design homes that bring the outside in,” Erik recalls. “I had toured some homes on San Juan Island that Geoff designed, and even on a gray winter day with no lights on, it was amazing how bright they were.” The new house is similarly light-filled. Its front façade includes a tower-like structure made of Cor-Ten steel, which contains the main staircase and is composed of stacked horizontal window frames—set at 90-degree angles in varying lengths. Similar narrow windows appear throughout the house, including in the master bathroom and kitchen, creating small exquisite snapshots of the surroundings. In the open kitchen and living area, folding doors lead outside and frame magnificent water views. Prentiss also brought the outside in, opting for cedar siding not only for the exterior, but indoors, as well, to provide a further element of continuity. Just as Prentiss designed a spare materials palette, the rest of the home is equally restrained. The main living spaces, for example, are laid out in an open plan with minimal fuss. The front door itself, made from one huge slab of Sitka spruce brought from Alaska, was installed without a door handle. “We counted the rings on that tree slab and it was into the hundreds,” recalls builder Rob Michel. “The owners didn’t want to ruin the door with some kind of latch system, so we ended up with a pivot door that opens and closes with magnets.”

Builder Rob Michel ensured the home’s complex details were executed flawlessly, including the stair tower that functions as a light box. Prentiss explored the idea of prospect and refuge, opening the structure to the views while still maintaining privacy.

Below: A Berber rug by Unique Carpets offers a soft landing in the master bedroom. The custom Galilee Lighting pendant illuminates a chaise the homeowners previously acquired.

For the interiors, designer Julie Evans Reid hewed closely to a simple, elegant vision, crafting a careful balance between sophistication and rusticity that also emphasizes indoor-outdoor connections. “We have a very modern sensibility,” Tamara explains. “We like warm and earthy, and I love texture. And that’s what I wanted to bring into the house.” In the living room, that translated into clean-lined furniture covered in deep blue and warm neutral hues—shades inspired by the landscape around the couple’s cabin in the San Juan Islands. The engineered walnut floor adds another natural element to the home. “The walnut really brings in the warmth,” says the designer. “We also used natural wood doors and trim.” The house does come with its fair share of surprises, too. For instance, an upstairs room features a wall of bookshelves that acts as a door to a secret stairway leading to a utility area behind the kitchen, as well as the hidden study and media room. “We wanted some secret spaces,” Tamara says. Yet there’s no mistaking that the home’s true unveiling is the view, which is accessible from, more or less, anywhere in the house. “We wanted to create an oasis. When you walk into the courtyard, you’ve left the rest of the world,” Prentiss explains. “Inside, you don’t see anything but the wall of the fireplace. It shields you from seeing out. But it’s when you come around the corner that you say, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s a wide-open view of the water.’ ” LUXESOURCE.COM / 287

The plantings by landscape designer Carol Rea give the backyard a gentle transition to the natural waterfront landscape. Windows to the north and south looking out at adjacent neighbors were minimized, while the home’s western façade is made almost entirely of glass.

Tree Salvation A SEATTLE DESIGNER-CRAFTSMAN CREATES SURPRISING STONE-LIKE OBJECTS OUT OF SALVAGED WOOD, GRANTING THEM NEW LIFE. WRITTEN BY YELENA MOROZ ALPERT PHOTOGRAPHY BY AMOS MORGAN

Y

ou could say that a designer who repurposes wood from fallen trees is basically giving them a second chance at life. But, Seattle-based designer and craftsman Joel Sayre takes tree reincarnation to an entirely different level when he transforms discarded wood into new forms, including his signature Tumbler designs—oversize pebble-like configurations that work equally beautiful as both sculptural and functional objects. “I feel as if I’ve rescued at least some of the tree by giving it a new existence,” says Sayre. Translating the geometry of stone into linear trunks and branches can take weeks of sanding and shaping with power tools, not to mention “a lot of staring,” says Sayre, in order to capture how the planes and surfaces will come together. Initially, the pieces appear simple, but a closer look reveals the variations in the rounded angles and the unique grain patterns that accentuate the wood-to-rock reinterpretations. The result: buffed, almost buttery, textured curves with a magnetic affinity for touch. “I have a pine Tumbler, the first one I ever made, sitting on a console in the hallway between

LXPNW_Style_Maker_Sayre_290-293.indd 292

my living room and kitchen,” says the designer. “I tend to run my hand over it every time I walk by.” For Sayre, the feel of a piece—its silky worn-down texture—is just as important as how it is represented visually. Sayre’s art process begins with discovering locally salvaged trees. He drives around in a red 1970s Ford pickup searching for abandoned wood. One such find was an 80-foot-tall elm that blew down after a windstorm. While he couldn’t take the entire tree, Sayre recovered a few solid pieces—some close to 40 inches in diameter that were later used to make furniture, as well as his Tumblers. “I spent most of the day wrestling this wood into my truck,” he explains. “Neither the guy who owned the yard nor I wanted it to go to firewood. So, it was a good ending for everyone, including the tree.” Sayre’s genuine love for both wood and his craft—he never works when angry—is clearly reflected in each piece. His final pieces manifest the organic, sinuous shapes found in nature as seamlessly as they fit into man-made interiors. “Perfection without precision,” he says, “is kind of how I look at it.”

VERTICAL ATTITUDE BUILDING A HOME ON THE STEEP SLOPES OF QUEEN ANNE YIELDS AN OPEN, CONTEMPORARY RESIDENCE THAT CAPITALIZES ON ITS SPECTACULAR VIEWS. WRITTEN BY MINDY PANTIEL / PHOTOGRAPHY BY DALE TU

t would be hard to imagine a time when someone didn’t jump at the chance to reside in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. Between the city and lake views and easy access to downtown, it is one enviable perch. But turn the clock back about a century and a half, and developers were offering two-for-one lot deals to anyone willing to build a home there and still coming up short. The reason was simple enough—it was too steep. Fast-forward to the 21st century, and even with the advent of modern technology, the architectural team of Chris Pardo and Peter Greaves, along with their former associate Derry Betts, would find it a challenge to design

LXPNW28_Pardo_14_294-307.indd 296

a home on a dizzying 26 percent slope for clients David Barashi and Jeffrey Hansen. In an odd twist of fate, an existing 1928 Tudor would play a pivotal role in solving the problems of building on such a steep site. “The house is actually a remodel of sorts because it’s built on top of the footprint of an existing house,” explains Greaves, who took the lead on the project. “Parts of the original foundation remain in the basement of the new structure, which minimized the extent of the site work required.” Not surprisingly, the phenomenal views and proximity to amenities first attracted David and Jeffrey to live on the precipitous slope. Looking to spend part of their time in

Homeowners Jeffrey Hansen and David Barashi took on the responsibility for the interiors, selecting simple, elegant pieces including the living room’s Ventura lounge chair by Poliform. From the Magis table and chairs on the deck, diners can have an unimpeded view of the Space Needle.

Seattle, the couple were standing on the deck of a condo unit they were touring when they spied a “for sale” sign on the Tudor across the way. “In that moment we realized the potential of building a home in the area and decided to go for it,” says David. Wasting no time, they assembled a design team that included builder Travis Gaylord. After scouring the Internet and poring over design books to learn as much as possible about modern architecture, the owners crafted a vision for their home that involved leveraging the views and maximizing the height of the house. “It’s a corner lot so we wanted huge windows but we also wanted privacy,” says David. Adds Jeffrey, “And we wanted every floor to provide a different perspective of the city.”

LXPNW28_Pardo_14_294-307.indd 300

Conceptually, the vertical structure the team devised is a series of nested cubes where the interior form is expressed on the exterior, as well. “Dark and white metal, cedar and concrete balanced on each elevation tell a story about the inside of the house,” says Greaves. “The wood floors recall the cedar siding, and the dark metal stairs, doors and fireplace surround refer back to the reversed seam-metal cladding, while the white walls, cabinets and tile finishes reference the white flat aluminum-composite panels.” Adds Pardo, “The home balances privacy and views by shifting planes in the façade and careful placement of glazing.” Installing those large expanses of glass put Gaylord’s building prowess to the test. “The pieces were too big to carry them up

Jeffrey designed the black walnut dining room table, which he had custom-made for a previous home. Panton chairs present a contrasting modern element to the piece’s more traditional lines. The sevenpendant chandelier is by Bocci.

the stairs, so we had to cut a slot through the floor to transport them,” says the builder, who also oversaw the on-site construction of the sculptural stairs. In lieu of one continuous staircase, the architects devised a series of stairs to vary the experience on each floor. The entry and its yard establish a neighborhood feel, while the middle level, with its open living room, dining room and kitchen, enjoys ever-changing views. “Depending on the time of day, you can see the Cascade peaks, including Mount Rainier, as well as the Space Needle, and at night the city turns into a sparkling jewel box,” says Jeffrey. By the time you reach the third floor and the self-contained master suite, you are 41 feet up with a clear sightline to Lake Union. Selected by the homeowners, the furnishings are a mix of understated pieces—the gray wool sectional in the living room and molded white dining room chairs spring

to mind. Elsewhere, the couple wove in eye-catching elements, including numerous colorful works by artist Barbara Kaempf Matkowski and the dazzling Jeremy Cole chandelier suspended in the stairwell. “We purchased the chandelier before we even closed on the lot,” says Jeffrey of the series of porcelain-formed leaves intended as the home’s centerpiece. Adds David, “We wanted it to be seen from every room in the house and from the outside, as well.” The light’s beautiful warm glow is emblematic of how the owners feel about their home. “In the winter, we like to come into the living room and turn on the fireplace and just watch downtown,” says David, “and in the summer, we sit on the deck and enjoy the twinkling lights.” Jeffrey continues, “We feel so fortunate to be connected to the architecture of the city while living in this wonderful neighborhood.”

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.
