We’ve all been there with the proverbial blank page staring us down. So, consider this New + Now issue to be an inspiration injection, where we update your point of view with discoveries that allow you to step outside the day-to-day and dive into something altogether new. Costas Voyatzis, the man behind yatzer.com, the global kaleidoscope of what’s happening in art, fashion and design, lets us in on the top brands to watch in 2017. We also

present the latest in side tables, report on the trend of vivid color making its way into homes across the country (Farrow & Ball Chappell Green, I have my eyes on you!), and head outdoors for a showcase of sumptuous new textiles. This spring, we also invite you online to the enhanced luxesource.com. Browse around and take a look.

CONTRIBUTORS

BEHIND THE SCENES PRODUCED BY SARAH RAMIREZ

LIZ ARNOLD Writer / New York Favorite Luxe interview: I really enjoyed speaking with designer Michael Siller and luxury rug specialist Larry Hokanson about their own Houston home. They are both history buffs and enthusiasts of Russian classicism, and they are incredibly knowledgeable on the intersection of history and design. They filled their interiors with reproductions of exquisite pieces selected during trips to The State Hermitage Museum in Russia, and I still have plans to show up on their doorstep one day to see it for myself! Who is the most fascinating person you’ve ever met? Eva Zeisel. She was a playful Hungarian-born industrial designer who was imprisoned by Joseph Stalin’s regime before moving her ceramics into mass production, and she had the first one-woman show at the MoMA. Sadly, she passed away in 2011 at the age of 105. Prized possessions: A coin pendant of Queen Elizabeth II—a gift from my late father—that I wear on a long necklace; a vintage French upholstered armchair in mustard yellow that’s so low you feel like you’re in a sports car; and my computer, which stores all of my writing and ideas.

EMILY MINTON REDFIELD Photographer / Denver

What do you find inspiring about design today? Having nostalgia for 1970s wallpaper, I love seeing the new designs and appreciation for this art form. I can’t wait to put an Abigail Borg paper in my powder room and make it a fresh, retro jewel box. Unforgettable Luxe shoot: One of my most memorable projects was a home designed by my visionary father, Joseph Minton. Not only were the house and location beautiful, but I was also able to do the shoot in my pajamas alongside my dad. On your coffee table: I am inspired by design books and have them all over my house, but I am mostly fueled by fiction. My recent favorites are City of Thieves by David Benioff and All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. Most fascinating person you’ve ever met: The Maharaja of Jaipur at a small dinner party in Delhi, India, when I was 24.

LX_COM12_Contributors.indd 98

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

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

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

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

NEW YORK WHAT IT IS: Located on Canal Street in New York City, Colony is equal parts showroom and gallery with carefully curated goods from independent designers—many with ties to the area and working studios in nearby Brooklyn. Founded and curated by entrepreneur Jean Lin, the design co-op also has a strategic arm, named Colony Consult, developed to help designers better position their work in the retail market. WHAT IT DOES: Colony provides a community for the furniture, lighting, textile and object designers who call it home. In addition to offering a brick-and-mortar location for members to showcase their goods, Lin also thinks outside the box with a series of exhibits and pop-ups with neighboring non-endemic businesses to drive new traffic to the space. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Industry darlings like Erickson Aesthetics, whose in-progress copper Manifold chair is featured on our Radar opener, count themselves part of Colony, as do craftsman and designer Aaron Poritz (pictured far right), whose gorgeous Abner toolbox (shown on the previous page) offers both form and function; lighting upstart Allied Maker and its Voyager 333 chandelier (shown right, top); and the woodworking wunderkinds behind Vonnegut/Kraft, who are responsible for the handsome Black Crescent lounge (right, bottom).

▲ JOIN DESIGN

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

LX_COM12_Radar_Made_In_America.indd 104

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

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

L.A. BOX COLLECTIVE

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

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

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

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

Speaking of process, tell us how you brought your visions to life. Our design process starts off very hands-on: We make a sketch and often work with steel, paper or foam models, and then we figure out how to illuminate the initial concept. As an unconventional design group, we were able to “loosen up” and really have fun with the offerings. We quickly realized, though, that fun isn’t always easy; there’s a fine line between a design that is simple and a design that is pure. Striving for this purity has been both enjoyable and challenging. Why is it so important to continue to honor the company’s tradition of craft? It’s a part of Hubbardton Forge’s legacy—the commitment to the handmade—and it was one of the driving forces behind Vermont Modern. Everyone here believes in it, which is good since a lot of people contribute to the final product. For example, three different departments work intently on constructing the actual form—from molding and cutting the steel to cleaning raw edges and prepping the material for welding. After the elements are forged

LX_COM12_Radar_Debut.indd 108

together, they’re cleaned again before heading to the final three departments, starting with the finishing team. In this stage, the products are powder-coated and cured in our ovens, then sent to assembly, where they are completed and tested before shipping out. Share some of the materials you added to this line to complement Hubbardton’s signature steel. We introduced Vermont maple in a natural finish that is locally sourced from Maple Landmark, a wooden toy crafter 30 miles north of the forge in Vermont. We thought the wood element added a nice natural contrast to the steel, and its natural state adds a touch of Danish modern appeal.

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

PHOTO: JUDE GOLDMAN .

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

RADAR / BEHIND THE BRAND

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

“We always say that we don’t want to be the biggest outdoor furniture maker in the world; we just want to be the best,” says Anne Massie, the cofounder, with her brother Will, of Richmond, Virginia-based McKinnon and Harris. For the siblings, the key to being the best means keeping things local. The pair opened their doors in 1991, and the area, itself a historic center of craft, provides a spark that has allowed the company to thrive. Says Will Massie, “McKinnon and Harris could never live in an industrial park; we crave the energy and inspiration of our city.” Born from rough pencil sketches, McKinnon and Harris’ furnishings are handmade in a workshop flooded with light thanks to a clerestory running the length of the building. After being refined by the Massies and their team of engineers, the designs are put into production in a process relying on methods both old and new. Hammers, mallets, hand files of varying shapes and sizes, chisels and clamps can be found in the factory, along with a 62-person force of craftspeople who possess knowledge and skill born of years of practice. “You can palpably feel the drive for excellence and innovation and hear the hum of hands working and the sounds of metal being formed,” says Will. Time-honored practices, though, share space with cutting-edge technology, especially when it comes to the company’s coating process, which manages to be both environmentally friendly and effective. Inspiration for their pieces comes from traditional sources: A new collection launching this spring came by way of a nautical-feeling, French Art Deco chair from the 1930s. The roots of new designs also start closer to home—namely from Anne’s garden at her historic residence. “Spending a lot of time there makes it easy to realize what would

LX_COM12_Radar_BehindTheBrand.indd 110

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

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

What made you decide to launch Yatzer? My obligatory draft in the Greek military came up. I had actually delayed it for quite a while, but at the age of 26, I couldn’t put it off anymore. So, I was drafted, and I had to leave my job, the career I was forging and all the contacts I had made behind, and I worried that the year and a half in the military would halt my career. It was this fear, that I’d lose touch with the industry, that actually became the catalyst for yatzer.com. I wanted to stay connected even though I wasn’t physically present. It began as my private blog and evolved into what it is today. Share your most-loved part of the job. I love to attend trade shows and do market coverage because I always discover hidden design gems. Although it takes days to complete my research after the shows, I can’t wait to press the publish button and share my discoveries with people who don’t have the chance to travel

Perhaps it’s not hard to believe that the same place that gave us the Acropolis and the Parthenon—Athens, Greece—would still be making major offerings to the worlds of architecture and design. Today’s contributions, though, aren’t being built with painstakingly stacked brick or stone, but with pixels: Greek native Costas Voyatzis’ international website, yatzer.com, has become an undeniable resource for design lovers all over the globe. Here, Voyatzis, a former magazine editor and avid traveler, retraces the path that led him to creating one of the hottest corners on the web and serves as the super-hip tour guide for all the best of the overseas creative scene. yatzer.com

and attend these shows but want to “relive” them through my eyes. But, also, it is important to cover these events for the people—designers and companies—who, although they have participated in the shows, due to their hectic schedules, don’t even have the time to check out what’s happening in the stand around the corner from theirs or in a different hall from the one they are in. Do you have any favorite trade shows? Definitely the first place belongs to Salone del Mobile Milano, which is a part of a much bigger event, Milano Design Week. Although there is never enough time to see everything, it is still the place where the industry’s major trends are born. Next, I have to mention Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair, because who can ignore Scandinavian design? And, then, the Biennale Interieur in Kortrijk, Belgium, which has been happening every two years since 1968; the careful curatorial job behind it is visible in every detail of the fair. Top five brands to watch in 2017: For furniture, I’ve got my eye on Ginger & Jagger out of Porto, Portugal; for lighting, London’s Bert Frank has so much promise; Fabscarte from Milan has my vote for shaking up the world of wallpapers; Barcelona-based Octaevo is turning traditional stationery on its head; and, finally, Kikof from Tokyo has absolutely incredible offerings in ceramic tableware. Tell us about the products you have on your own wish list. There’s desk sculptures by graphic designer and architect Kristina Dam from Copenhagen. The set comes with a round paperweight in stoneware, a triangle bookend in marble, a wooden cone and an arc in brass (all shown on previous page). I also love the Ora Sculptural

table clock by the Switzerland-based design duo Panter & Tourron—a collaboration between Italy’s Stefano Panterotto and Alexis Tourron from France. The Stadium Light No. 1 by Danish furniture and product designer Niclas Jørgensen is also a favorite, as are the Touch trays by Studioilse for Zanat. Finally, I’m a big fan of the Plugged series of carafes, jugs, soliflore and table lamps by Lebanese interior architect and product designer Richard Yasmine. Why do you think it’s important to talk about design with a multicultural lens? There are many design sites around the world that focus on domestic design, but I believe that yatzer.com gives readers a wider perspective. It affords them the opportunity to see the trends as they are being created around the world, and they can therefore witness their progression and subsequent development. Is there a particular country whose design scene is really interesting you right now? What instantly comes to mind are the wireweaving works being created in Africa. These are amazing to me because the artists are combining modern technology—telephone wires—with traditional weaving techniques and craftsmanship. The results are so unique.

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

#INSTACRUSH @hayleysheldon WHO: West Palm Beach artist and prop stylist Hayley Sheldon, who transforms nearly any raw material into something magical.

WHY: More than anything, Sheldon’s feed urges followers to consider an elevation of simple materials. There is an inherent art to her work as she interprets the unexpected beauty that surrounds her. IN HER WORDS: “There are a lot of people not only doing great work, but trying to build a close-knit and supportive community within West Palm Beach. I feel a sense of newness with tons of potential, and it’s exciting to be a part of that in some small way.”

BLUEPRINT NORTON MUSEUM OF ART

Last year, the Norton Museum of Art celebrated its 75th anniversary, and while reflecting on its past, it also looked to its future by beginning an expansive remodel, which is set to be complete in 2018. Designed by London-based firm Fosters + Partners, the redesign will feature a new entrance, 12,000 square feet of additional gallery space, a 210-seat auditorium and a sculpture and shade garden. Architect Lord Norman Foster is spearheading the project by reimagining the Norton as a “museum in a garden,” which will be centered on blurring the lines between architecture and nature. “Our aim has been to restore a sense of clarity to the existing building by reasserting the logic of the original plan, creating new event and visitor spaces that will transform the museum into the social heart of the community,” says Foster. norton.org

THE INSIDER DANIELLE ELIZABETH MITCHELL

Cities on nearly every coast have already mastered the concept of co-creating, but when Danielle Elizabeth Mitchell moved from New York back home to West Palm Beach, she noticed a gap in the market. “I learned how important it was to me to create things that make me happy—usually that happened through collaboration with likeminded souls,” says Mitchell. With the January launch of Elizabeth Ave Station, a pop-up marketplace and work space for creatives and small businesses, came a hub that fosters creativity, growth and a sense of community. We asked Mitchell to share what’s catching her eye in the ever-growing West Palm Beach scene. elizabeth-ave-station.com What’s intriguing you in your neighborhood? I love watching West Palm grow. I’m thankful I had the courage to leave the established New York City market, come back to my roots and grow alongside this wonderful place I feel privileged to call home.

both genuine and authentic when it comes to the “community over competition” movement. She’s a team player when she doesn’t even have to be. We love everything she’s doing, especially The Sunset Market, which we’re so excited to host here in March!

On your radar: Since I started working on Elizabeth Ave Station, Chelsea Viau of Chelsea Lane & Co. has been so insightful and supportive of the brand’s goals. She’s someone who is

wonderful he is. Sometimes I find myself feeling a little bashful in super high-end galleries, so it’s really refreshing to find a gallery that showcases art in a more humble way. Ones to watch: We’re home to so many wonderful brands and are honored to showcase the work of several local makers such as Flower & Fringe’s Halle Frey, botanical artist Jenny Kiker of Living Pattern, and Corrin Carr of jewelry line Olwen, to name a few.

WHAT: Known for her crisp white backgrounds and candy-colored subjects, Sheldon’s airy feed gives us a glimpse behind her creative lens, where she employs paper, paint, ribbons and more to create whimsical backdrops for storefronts and photo shoots. You’ll also catch her prepping for workshops, snapping local scenery or sharing the richness and vivacity of things that are inspiring her work.

OPEN HOUSE SHOPS + SHOWROOMS

South Florida continues to distinguish itself as a stronghold of international design with new showrooms popping up like palm trees. At the rapidly expanding Design District, Italian marble brand Citco (3801 NE Miami Ct.) made its American debut in its 2,600-square-foot showroom, where the natural product is employed into fantastical displays that are large-scale works of art. Just a few blocks over, luxury outdoor furnishings brand Brown Jordan (3625 NE Second Ave.) welcomes shoppers to its threestory showroom with a lush vertical garden and a casual, carefree atmosphere complete with a rooftop deck and outdoor kitchen. In Boca Raton, Brazilian furniture brand Dell Anno (3501 N. Federal Hwy.) fuses Italian design, German technology and Brazilian creativity into its sleek and innovative showroom complete with a state-of-the-art kitchen.

TALKING SHOP WITH MARTINA ROSENTHAL

DUE

When did you open? Due was created on June 2014, but the website didn’t go live until November 2015. I spent an entire year dedicated to establishing the brand and traveling. Describe your concept for the shop. Ever since I can remember, I was always traveling, exposing myself to different cultures and craftmanship. Through my journeys, I learned to respect the effort of handmade items and how undervalued they are in today’s society. In college, I studied textile design, so when I graduated I combined my two passions—travel and textiles—into a career. Through my e-commerce store, we aim to refocus how society values one-of-a-kind, handcrafted items and connect the world back to these cultures. The inventory: We offer handmade pottery, rainbow-hued baskets, embroidered table runners, candles, rugs, bags, pashminas and earrings made from artisans in countries such as Mexico, Costa Rica and Colombia. What special services does Due offer? We organize private showrooms for those who are interested in our products. We decorate our client’s home, provide snacks and mimosas and give them an opportunity to invite friends to enjoy a space decorated with our products. duemiami.com

ELINA CARDET

When acclaimed architectural designer Elina Cardet of Perkins+Will relocated from New York City to Miami in 2015, the move came with an unexpected energy within the design community, which struck a chord with Cardet. “Miami is this modern, international city that is exciting to witness how it continues to reinvent and transform itself,” reflects Cardet. This year, the associate principal is also spearheading a diverse portfolio for Perkins+Will, where she and her team are ushering in two new hotels in Miami Beach, developing science and technology projects in Brazil, and designing several airport lounges worldwide. When she’s not adding to her already impressive resume, you’ll find the design connoisseur recharging her batteries in her newfound hometown. “This tropical city, where overgrown, unconfined nature overlaps with architecture, is a magnet for creatives around the world,” she muses. With that in mind, Cardet shares with us what places and people are fueling her creative endeavors in her international city. perkinswill.com 10 a.m. A double espresso latte and watermelon lime juice from Ella is a must while perusing Miami’s Design District. Take a walk around the variety of highdesign boutiques, public art installations, galleries and furniture and materials showrooms. I love the sense of walkability of the area, and it is my goto for quick inspiration. 11 a.m. Then, I’ll pop into Ann Sacks to view swatches before walking across the street to see the latest FSC-certified engineered wood plank samples at Pianeta Legno. 12 p.m. In the same building, treat yourself to lunch at MC Kitchen. The atmosphere is incredible, as is the black mission fig pizzetta. Also, leave room for the vanilla bean crème brûlée with caramelized blood oranges. If you have time, make your way to nearby Wynwood and stop into Glottman for a few of Tom Dixon’s hand-formed copper bowls.

2 p.m. Head to Coral Gables, nicknamed the “The City Beautiful,” and for good reason! Lush tropical gardens, incredible 300-year-old Banyan trees and Spanish Revival architecture define the neighborhood, as seen at the storied Biltmore Hotel, the Venetian Pool and the residential enclaves with immaculate attention to detail and preservation. 3 p.m. Downtown Coral Gables has great design showrooms and galleries. For great wines, try Cava Mezze Grill, and for a quick snack, go to Small Tea for a mushroom tartine. 4 p.m. While you’re in Coral Gables, check out the Perkins+Will Miami office and meet the team—all 55 of them! It’s a close-knit group, spanning architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture and interior design. Some of our younger team members are stars in their own right and have been doing amazing work with the students at DASH, the design and architecture high school, as part of the ACE

(architecture, construction, engineering) mentoring program, as well as doing pro bono work in Senegal, Africa. We also just celebrated 20 years of innovation at YoungArts’ The Jewel Box, a modern, color stained-glass space. 5 p.m. For a dose of inspiration, stop by the Fountainhead Residency open house, where you can meet national and international artists working on site-specific pieces. End the day with dinner at Vagabond Kitchen & Bar, located in the famed Vagabond Hotel in the MiMo historical district.

Medium: Gloss on aluminum. Trademark: Delicate while maintaining a distinct contemporary feel. Women’s intuition: To capture the female form in vulnerable and intimate moments. Sources of inspiration: Usually from an image I find or a photo I’ve taken.

KATE LONG STEVENSON: IN HER WORDS

Medium: Acrylic, gouache and watercolor—layered with charcoal. Trademark: Abstract Expressionist, representational and feminine. Women’s intuition: The female form is universally relatable and beautiful, and I love to take that familiarity and turn it on its head. Art game changer: Decidedly the biggest shift in my career was the decision to create for myself and not the market; it’s refreshing to produce work that I am passionate about. Creative influences: Painterly work—from Impressionism to John Singer Sargent’s brushstrokes and glowing color—and Abstract Expressionists like Joan Mitchell and Willem de Kooning. Never too many… Laughs, long conversations, lunch dates or snoozebutton hits. My art is… Gestural, energetic and mysterious.

CURVE APPEAL CAROLINE WALLS: IN HER WORDS

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

Art school confidential: After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design, I moved to New York City and the exposure to the art world and museums ultimately stimulated my desire to be a painter. Creative influences: Nature, light, color, meditation, Japanese aesthetics, tantric painting, and poetry by Han-Shan and Pablo Neruda.

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

SUSAN COLLINS WEIR

INTERIOR DESIGNER STUDIOCOLLINSWEIR.COM

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

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

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

JEREMIAH BRENT INTERIOR DESIGNER JEREMIAHBRENT.COM

Vera & Kyte’s designs… Feel so easy and chic. What a unique pairing of form and function throughout this piece while maintaining total simplicity; nothing is over-designed, and yet it still feels like high design. Material connection: I love how the marble and perforated steel almost seem at odds, yet they are so harmonious together. Having lived in New York City… I am connected to this composition instantly. There is nothing like partaking in daily life (which can be real and messy and beautiful all at the same time) in a place like New York to truly understand the concept of a “concrete jungle,” and this composition reflects that experience perfectly. Visual play: Pedestal’s luscious curves cast against the sharp corners of the concrete highlight Vera & Kyte’s piece in a distinctly effortless and luxurious way. Creatively speaking: This table is a gorgeous compilation of so many periods of design and a true jack-of-all-trades: It’s as edgy as it is sophisticated and would work perfectly in just about any space.

I’m enamored by… Sean O’Hara’s masterful use of natural materials. The intricacy and sheer geometry it took to perfectly configure each piece into the finished product is incredible. This attention to detail and artistry elevates the design to an utmost standard of luxury. Material connection: These accent tables encompass multiple senses, providing not only sight and touch but also conjuring the sense of smell with their natural wooden qualities. A statement piece… Like this one can stand proud on its own accord without the need for additional attendees. Let’s be honest, no one wants a room full of items that compete. There is beauty in the ability to cultivate and curate our surroundings. Design is cyclical… Ever-evolving and ever-changing. We have to be cognizant of the pulse that inspires us to reinvent and keep design current. Creatively speaking: This design reminds me to find playfulness in refinement and that whimsy and sophistication are a beautiful blend.

INTO THE WOODS THE PIECE: Spruce Occasional Table THE DESIGNER: Sean O’Hara FIND IT: oharastudio.com; arudin.com THE INSPIRATION: It’s clear that Sean O’Hara, an accomplished artisan and avid skier, gets his kicks from the great outdoors, or in this case from the frozen mountain landscapes where pinecones are bountiful and enchanting species of wood are abundant. Assembled with layers of imbricated solid-wood plates and shown here in both the Grey Sienna and Espresso finishes, the Spruce occasional tables remind us that bucolicinspired designs are indeed evergreen.

SET IN STONE THE PIECE: Italia Terrazzo Stone Inlaid Table THE DESIGNER: Susan Hable FIND IT: maitland-smith.com THE INSPIRATION: Artist by trade, Georgia’s Susan Hable is a magical force in and of herself, helming the multimedium Hable Construction design studio with her sister and partnering with Maitland-Smith to create an accessories line that is distinctly modern and full of flavor. The Italia Terrazzo Stone Inlaid table illustrates her aesthetic ideal, which Hable realized by mixing patterns to add dimension to each piece within the collection. Mission accomplished.

TODD NICKEY + AMY KEHOE INTERIOR DESIGNERS NICKEYKEHOE.COM

Susan Hable’s designs… Seem rooted in nature, and we love her ability to create modern compositions with her subject matter. Her collections with Maitland-Smith bring out the company’s whimsical side in an earthy and delightful way. Composition: The understated nods to an urban garden evoke, for us, a South American midcentury mood. Material connection: With its many iterations, terrazzo often gets overlooked in certain applications, as it’s often used in large commercial spaces. We love that this particular use of the stone blend appears to read as foliage and has a transporting quality. There’s a reference to precious stones with this moody color palette that feels extremely luxurious as well. On keeping it real: In today’s crowded marketplace, we gravitate toward pieces with an emotional charge more than ever. The artistic intentions in Susan’s designs do not go unnoticed here with this dynamic piece.

TWIST OF FATE THE PIECE: Fold Accent Table THE DESIGNER: Darryl Carter FIND IT: millingroad.com THE INSPIRATION: A master of color and style, Darryl Carter introduces his inaugural collection with Milling Road, a Baker lifestyle brand, designed to embody an individual and thoughtful spirit. With pieces sensitively scaled, each creation was concepted with a curatorial sensibility that is reflected here in the Fold accent table, which boasts a multifaceted base that is both understated and extraordinary—a Carter trademark.

BELLA MANCINI

INTERIOR DESIGNER BELLAMANCINIDESIGN.COM

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

Inspired by a faceted bracelet, the accent table reads as a symbol of true luxury, resplendent and modern all at once. With its silky gold bullion finish, the piece, dare we say, shines bright like a diamond.

SUMMER THORNTON

INTERIOR DESIGNER SUMMERTHORNTONDESIGN.COM

Caracole’s dazzling accent table… Reminds me of a cut-jewel ring. Those sharp angular cuts and that grandiose yet practical shape catch your eye the way a fine piece of jewelry might. Composition: I am all about contrast when designing a space, and the pairing of the industrial environment with an as-polishedas-they-come piece feels luxurious, personal and even a little edgy. Finishes are the key… To a really gorgeous design. Oftentimes, gold and brass, albeit classics, just aren’t polished enough for me, but a gold bullion finish brings an incomparable sheen—it’s practically a gold mirror finish, which I find sexy and dramatic. Creatively speaking: Much of my work is grounded in traditional lines and architecture, so I’m always on the hunt for pieces that provide that necessary edge. The shape and allure of Caracole’s design fits the bill in that it’s fresh with just the right amount of flair.

ELDORADO STONE OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

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

Q+A What is inspiring you now? Year-round use of the outdoor space, even outside of the Sun Belt. Creative use of the space and amenities beyond going outside to grill a steak. Also, creating secondary living spaces for smaller areas in your outdoor space, like in a side yard or balcony. What are some design elements/innovations in outdoor living that you’re excited about? Outdoor-rated fabrics, furniture and appliances that look like they would belong in your indoor space. Not your grandmother’s plastic-covered lounge chair. What makes your product/brand distinctive in terms of material selection, product quality and functionality? Our fire bowls bring a heightened level of design and elegance to any outdoor space and come in a variety of styles, from classic to modern. Made from strong, glass fiberreinforced concrete and hand-sanded through a four-step finishing process, each fire bowl renders a true one-of-a-kind creation with subtle variations in color and texture, similar to natural limestone. 1

“Outdoor living is not a trend, but an extension of the home and an area that gets as much design attention as any other part of the house.” 2

FLEETWOOD WINDOWS & DOORS OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

An integral component of every home design, windows and doors go beyond changing one’s view. They impact security, energy efficiency and the resale value of your home. So when choosing the right doors and windows, homeowners must consider myriad decisions; everything from material selection and insulation to ease of use and maintenance. And for a seamless transition from the inside to the outside, “your window and door products must blend with the architectural intentions of the home,” says Mark McCoy, General Manager of Fleetwood Windows & Doors. To take the most advantage of the views, more and more homeowners are seeking larger expanses of glass for their multi-sliding and pocket doors, such as operable doors with leak-proof flush tracks that house glass larger than 60 square feet. “The insulated glass industry is introducing new technologies making larger glass available,” McCoy says. “And we are rising to the occasion, designing new and innovative products to accommodate this advancement with great success.”

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

THE MATERIAL OF CHOICE ALUMINUM Aluminum has become the material of choice for windows and doors because of its inherent strength, beauty and versatility. Since 1961, Fleetwood Windows & Doors has been using this fantastic resource to create its enduring windows and doors. As the most green and sustainable window material, aluminum is in high demand in luxury modern home designs across the country. To meet this demand along with the growing movement in green design, Fleetwood has applied thermal technology to its shapes to improve energy efficiency. Additionally, as insulated glass becomes available in larger sizes, the company continues to innovate with new aluminum products to accommodate today’s changing market.

HUBBARDTON FORGE OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

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

NEW FROM HUBBARDTON FORGE Introducing the Coastal Outdoor Finish Collection. Six new finishes have been unveiled to resist the harsh environmental conditions. “We did extensive testing in a salt spray chamber, and the results were remarkable. We highly recommend it for anyone living within 20 miles of a coastline,” David Kitts says.

WESTERN WINDOW SYSTEMS OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

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

CASTELLE OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

The exposure and interest in the outdoor room and outdoor decor has skyrocketed, with many new homes designed around outdoor spaces or renovated to incorporate an outdoor living area as a focal point. Thus, enjoying the best of outdoor living is at the heart of luxury outdoor furniture manufacturer, CASTELLE. “Every outdoor space should incorporate elements for lounging, cooking, dining and entertainment,” CEO Steve Lowsky says. “And each room within the outdoor space should provide comfort, durability and the opportunity for showcasing personal style.” With the multitude of options available in outdoor decor today, styles can be mixed and matched according to homeowners’ preferences, such as with CASTELLE’s new Vertice line. Designed with contemporary styling, oversize seating and sleek angular lines, the diverse collection complements any home or owner’s lifestyle. When sourcing high-end outdoor furniture that’s easy to maintain and longlasting, Lowsky suggests looking for these distinguishing characteristics: intricate aluminum castings and extrusions; multistage finishing; artisan-applied antiquing; all-weather cushions; and state-of-the-art functionality in fire features and action furnishings.

DESIGNER COLLABORATION BARCLAY BUTERA With designer collaborations and collections trending in outdoor living, CASTELLE debuts its innovative designer collection from celebrity author and designer, Barclay Butera. Incorporating the creativity of Butera with the handcrafted luxury of CASTELLE, the collection showcases glamorous, yet inviting furnishings for designers and design-conscious buyers. “Creating this spectacular collection has been a fantastic experience. When I first approached the design process, I was inspired by this magnificent geometric ceiling carving I saw in an English manor,” Butera says. “And I’ve incorporated this pattern into carpets, wallpapers and now the fretwork for outdoor furniture; I think it translates beautifully!”

1. With the Solaris Cushion lounge from CASTELLE, luxury outdoor living has never been so comfortable or so chic. 2. The CASTELLE Villa Bianca City Collection is handcrafted with classical features and flowing lines—perfect for balconies or intimate outdoor spaces.

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

While it’s safe to say we are still living in the era of the all-white kitchen and bath, there’s no denying even the smallest flourish of color can cast an irresistible spell. After all, 90 percent of what we take in via our senses comes to us through the gift of sight, and there’s little that commands our vision more than bright, beautiful color. No wonder a palette change has the power to reinvigorate a tired cook space or bring spa-like serenity to a bath. A color refresh offers a fearless antidote to what are often neutral utilitarian spaces, and who knows that better than designers? For some it’s a minor dalliance—the oft-quoted “pop of color” comes to mind—while for others, it’s a full-blown affair with a particular shade, as in this stunning forest green kitchen. Whatever your style, join us as we make the case for painting with bold strokes. 220 / LUXESOURCE.COM

GREEN SCENE

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

How do you usually bring personality into the kitchen? While open shelves are practical, they also allow the client to display a bit of character, whether it’s through a collection of bowls or, in this case, lots of old paintings. A kitchen is so much more than a utilitarian space and having an area to display something personal helps to create a warm, welcoming feel. What’s your favorite thing about this design? I love that this kitchen is actually a really simple design of four bespoke cabinets. Simplicity is key in carrying off such a daring color choice. Of course, I also absolutely love the room’s originality and how it’s totally infused with the personality of the client. It never felt like she was trying to copy a look, but to devise something that was completely her own.

PHOTO: COURTESY DEVOL KITCHENS.

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

WALL

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

When a stove is the star attraction, the supporting players need to stay relatively neutral, as in this family kitchen from Sarah Richardson Design. “The client requested the La Cornue range, so we decided to go bold with the color and mix metals for interest,” says designer Natalie Hodgins, who, along with Kate Stuart, helmed the project for the firm. Keeping the fixed elements, such as the soft gray millwork and honed marble countertops, quiet allows the bright blue stove and hood to steal the show. sarahrichardsondesign.com

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

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

Soft hues make spaces feel serene, so it’s no wonder muted tones are a perennial choice for the bath. A far cry from the retro bubblegum pink lavatories of yesteryear, today’s pastels pack their biggest punch when used sparingly. Here, a colorful roll-top cast-iron soaker picks up a pale coral from the whimsical patchwork tile floor. Shades of salmon, cream, cobalt and olive blend to form a space that doesn’t so much jolt you awake as ease you gracefully into the day.

PALETTE PLEASER

Picturesque Vero Beach is captured perfectly in the botanical lushness of this custom, hand-painted Sans Souci silk wallcovering, offering a taste of paradise for the formal dining room by designer Susan Schuyler Smith. 1 / Carte Blanc: Take advantage of grand spaces by experimenting with more complex art for your walls. Every painterly detail of this wallcovering has room to breathe while making a perfect conversation starter for those gathered around the table. 2 / Neutral Revival: There’s no need to compete with your illustrative wallcovering; instead of bold colors, opt for more neutral hues and architectural detailing, like this crisp white wainscoting, to act as complements in the space. 3 / In the Mix: Play with patterns by contrasting your accent wall with other textiles in different motifs. These dining chairs upholstered in pale blue plaid harmonize well with the delicate wallcovering thanks to their shared cool tones. 4 / Crafted Charm: Add artisanal accents deserving of your exquisite walls, like a Swedish crystal chandelier and these sculptural Sherwood brass candlesticks, which subtly echo the wallcovering’s organic theme.

Cheerful quatrefoil wallpaper by Phillip Jeffries summons serious midcentury charm in this seating area designed by Joseph Kremer for a Palm Beach escape. 1 / Made to Measure: Make vintageinspired designs work for your room by selecting styles with generous negative space. This classic geometric pattern creates a graphic impact while still providing a clean canvas for distinctive furnishings. 2 / Period Piece: Pair your retro wallcovering with some other flourishes that recall your wallpaper’s design decade, like this sofa with its sleek midcentury modern silhouette revived with Osborne & Little fabric. 3 / Big Picture: Patterns shouldn’t preclude you from displaying your favorite artwork, as evidenced by this simple floral print; just be sure to play with the scale of the pieces to keep them from looking too busy. 4 / Best Foot Forward: Honor your daring walls with some equally striking floor accents. This irresistibly plush shag rug by Patterson, Flynn & Martin proves just as playful as the wallpaper and adds textural depth to the room.

Rough-hewn grass-cloth wallcovering by Romo gets the modernist Miami Beach treatment in a Luciana Fragali-designed master bedroom—a perfect refuge within a Venetian Islands family home. 1 / Simple Pleasures: Consider woven surfaces when selecting bedroom wallcoverings, as they’re predisposed to playing well with layers of bed linens. This grass cloth introduces dimension to the space without overwhelming the room’s other textiles. 2 / High Contrast: Offset an accent wall clad in a heavily textured wallcovering with corresponding walls in a similar hue—the contrast of rough and smooth is more than enough to create a luxe sense of tension in the space. 3 / Low Ebb: Don’t hide your statement wall with towering accents; instead, create a clear sight line throughout with low-slung furnishings. The lean profile of this free-floating, upholstered Poltrona Frau bed allows the wallcovering to offer all the visual drama of a headboard. 4 / Rise and Shine: Introduce some highgloss finishes, like these twin Flos lamps in lustrous black, into your space as a refreshing departure from the rough, organic feel of the grass-cloth walls.

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

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

There’s a reason fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli’s signature shade was “shocking pink.” The fearless style maverick believed the vivid color had life-giving properties.

Just like a good book can be an escape from reality, a library should be a haven from the outside world. For this Greenwich Village apartment, New York-based design firm Tilton Fenwick blanketed the library walls in a rich teal lacquer, a color inspired by the classic Schumacher print in which the sofa is upholstered. “Since the room has no windows, the lacquer envelops the space, creating a jewel box effect,” says the firm’s founder Anne Maxwell Foster. We can’t think of a more stimulating environment in which to while away a few hours. tiltonfenwick.com

For this luxury apartment on the Rue Bonaparte in Paris, designer Gérard Faivre looked to the building’s Second Empire pedigree for inspiration. “Emblematic colors from that era—oranges, greens, blues and shades of gold—symbolized wealth and luxury, and now bring sparkle to the home,” he says. With its friendly, convivial atmosphere and bistro table and chairs, the space also pays homage to the chic cafes of its neighborhood, Saint Germain-des-Prés. gerardfaivreparis.com

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

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

Important to the successful function and overall aesthetic of both interior and exterior environments, doors are key to achieving a cohesive home in any style. As such, updating them can be essential to a whole-home remodel or a quick way to renew a space. Enter, Dayoris Doors. Based in Miramar, the company provides custom doors for high-end, luxury homes, whether new construction or renovations. Serving design professionals and homeowners alike, principals Scott Kucine, Melissa Kucine and Dan Benitah strive to accommodate any size or style. Still, Scott notes a movement toward frameless, floorto-ceiling doors, saying, “The minimalist look of this type of door provides tremendous impact, not to mention increased resale value in the booming, yet competitive, modern luxury home market.” Melissa adds, “You can achieve a perfectly smooth transition between door and wall, with a zero-profile edge.”

“Our designs are ideally suited for both modern and ultramodern homes.”

ADVICE FOR HOMEOWNERS

WHAT’S TRENDING 2

“My best advice for someone living through a renovation is not to live through it,” Dan says. “Leave town! Manage and observe the progress of your project from afar. If you have hired the right general contractor and an experienced project manager, the technology is available to keep you completely informed. Pictures, emails, group texts and video chats are easy to use and enable the homeowners to stay advised from a less stressful distance.”

TOTAL WINDOW TRENDS IN RENOVATION

Dania Beach | Florida | 954.921.0109 | totalwindow.com

A component in nearly every space, window coverings can alter an aesthetic, present a versatile range of natural lighting options and provide functional value. Offering blinds, shades, shutters, draperies and more throughout South Florida, Total Window has become a key resource for homeowners, whether they are building new homes or attempting renovations. Led by founder and chairman Stephen Stolow and CEO Jesse Stolow, the company has become known for its high-quality products, customer service and collaborations with architects, artists and designers. Asked to give advice to homeowners beginning a renovation, Stephen says, “Invest in the little things. Trying to save a few dollars here and there might feel like the right decision in the moment, but doing this at the expense of quality materials and finishes will equal disappointment in a few years, in the form of broken or worn-down products.”

KEY CONSIDERATIONS Illumination. According to Stephen, finding the balance between natural and artificial light is key to every space. Technical details. “Measuring for window treatments can be difficult and complex,” Jesse says. “Hiring a professional company will take the guesswork out of the process.” Effortless updates. Stephen and Jesse point to paint color, drapery hardware and fabrics as areas in which updating can provide the greatest effect in the least amount of time.

ON TREND: MOTORIZATION 3

“Today, with the ease that technology lends to our lives, some clients see motorization of window treatments as a necessity, rather than a luxury,” Jesse says. “It allows the consumer to raise and lower draperies or shutters from a chair or even a smartphone, miles away.”

MIA13_TrendsinRenovation_TotalWindow_0104_sr.indd 1

1. Tall draperies highlight the grand expanse of nature pouring into the room, while adding a soft touch to the bold lines of the woodwork. 2. For centuries, shutters have been a testament to discerning style and sophistication. They provide design, privacy and light control options, as well as add value. 3. Drapery hardware’s best finishing touches are usually the smallest details.

rom the moment Justine and Sebastian Velez crossed the threshold of a 1929 Mediterranean house, with its classic gable-tiled roof, arched openings, 10-foot ceilings and proximity to South Beach, they knew they were home. “We made an offer immediately,” says Justine, admitting, however, that the house and property were neglected and dilapidated. “Despite its age, though, there were no structural problems, and the high ceilings, great location and rich character sold us.” Her husband says their quick decision also had an element of fate. “The house had been on the market for a year, so it was as if it had been waiting for us,” he says. Kismet moment aside, the Velezes were not just another millennial duo with romantic notions about restoring an aging domicile to its original glory; they had the chops to make it happen. After meeting while pursuing graduate degrees at Harvard—hers in landscape architecture and urban planning and his in architecture—they started a firm with two other partners based on honoring their combined skill sets. “We believe architecture is the interface between

landscape and interiors, and each discipline heightens or plays off of the expression of the others,” says Justine. It was with that approach in mind that they got busy transforming their diamond in the rough. The restoration of the classic structure began with repairing the façade and whitewashing the existing yellow rough-finish plaster walls. “We touched every surface and changed all the windows,” says Justine about eliminating the cheap sliders that were likely installed in the 1990s. “We researched the original plans and worked with the city to bring the windows back to the 1929 proportions and configurations but used a modern energy-efficient system with hurricane-impact assemblies.” According to Sebastian, the interiors had a timeless quality that mandated a light touch. “The skeleton was beautiful, but we wanted to add our point of view and our own touches but with respect to the historical relevance of the house,” he says. “We see ourselves as custodians, and it was important to not only keep the soul of the house intact but to really bring it to life.”

Landscape architect and homeowner Justine Velez introduced a gray cobblestone driveway to the property for a more old-world feel and lined it with European olive trees, which thrive in the sugar-sand soil typical of the area. Creeping fig ivy climbs the wall.

Justine and Sebastian’s initial imprint involved redoing the ground floor with a custom Cuban tile authentic to the era but in an unexpected jet black. “We wanted to remain truthful to the architecture, but we’re young, and the black is edgier and speaks more to who we are,” says Justine. They are also self-proclaimed modernists— “We moved here from an ultra-sleek condo,” she says— and they sought to strike a balance that honored both the architecture and their personal taste. When Justine and Sebastian opened the kitchen to the dining room, for example, a move more in keeping with their entertaining lifestyle, they tempered the look by creating an articulated 10-foot-wide archway that both follows the Mediterranean vocabulary and cleverly hides new air-conditioning ductwork. Builder Johan Gunnarsson said that maneuver proved particularly challenging. “We had to reinforce some of the beams, and getting the ductwork into such a tight space wasn’t easy,” he says. In the powder room, the original penny-round floor tiles were damaged, but the look was worth salvaging. “We found the same tile and kept the spirit of the space but made it more dramatic and current by tiling the walls and the ceiling,” says Sebastian.

Verner Panton dining room chairs from Vitra in New York pull up to a custom table composed of reclaimed wood and paintedmetal legs. The oversize light fixture is by Moooi, and the rug is from Azhar’s Oriental Rugs.

The yin-yang continues with the furnishings and accessories, and items such as the industrial living room light fixture fabricated from old brass and bronze pieces serve as a perfect metaphor for their overall intent. “It’s a raw finish with a contemporary feel,” says Sebastian, who, along with his wife, handled the interior design. Following suit, the living room sofa upholstered in Belgian linen counteracts the rough-cast concrete side tables, and in the dining room, midcentury modern Verner Panton chairs, each crafted from a single piece of polypropylene, are counterpoints for the reclaimed rustic wood table. Throughout the house, the largely neutral palette of grays, whites and charcoals provides a cool visual refuge that contrasts with the couple’s collection of colorful Colombian artwork by such artists as Edgar Negret, Omar Rayo and Jose Ismael Rivera, as well as the vivid tropical surroundings. When it came to tackling the landscaping, which consisted of dirt patches, a cluster of Solitaire palm trees and an expanding weed population, the collaborative effort shifted to a solo act, and Justine proceeded to transform the scenery. “In the rear garden, I kept one mango tree and removed everything else, adding three date palms and hedgerows of loquats and bay rum trees to provide privacy at the perimeter,” says Justine, who designed curvilinear planting beds to make the garden seem bigger and filled them with tropical plants. “Our front yard features two more European olives and a rose garden, which was a Valentine’s Day gift from Sebastian.” To take advantage of Justine’s efforts, the size of the dining room window was tripled for better garden gazing, and a patio was added to enhance the connection to the outdoors. “When the landscape lights are turned on in the evening, it looks like fairies live in the garden,” Justine says. “It is so beautiful.” Adds Sebastian: “The house will continue to change over time and provide a canvas for our lives.”

BRAZILIAN BEAT ENERGIZED BY A LIVELY COLOR PALETTE, A WATERFRONT CONDO GETS A STYLISH REVAMP THAT INCLUDES STUNNING VIEWS. WRITTEN BY KIMBERLY OLSON PHOTOGRAPHY BY COSTAS PICADAS

LUXESOURCE.COM / 277

LX_MIA13_HOM_Monteiro_12.indd 277

1/20/17 12:22 PM

Brazilian-based couple wanted a Miami piedà-terre that matched their casual lifestyle: He plays golf to unwind, she loves to hop on her bike and ride along the coast, and they are both drawn to sunshine and seaside views. So when they discovered a modern waterfront condo on Allison Island graced with big windows overlooking the Indian Creek Waterway, they didn’t hesitate to act. The couple also didn’t hesitate to bring in their trusted designer Cristiana Mascarenhas, who designed two previous homes for them in their shared native country. “Most Brazilians, especially people from Rio, where we have a lot of sun and beach, like bright colors,” says Mascarenhas, whose generous use of energetic sky blues, lively sunshine yellows and pulsating hot pinks imbues her projects with a touch of Carnival festival flair. With that same concept in mind, she immediately set about creating interior spaces with a cool, modern vibe and splashes of vibrant color. Hoping to enhance the condo’s interior flow, Mascarenhas began by collaborating with builder Ronny Camilo on a gut remodel of the entire apartment. “We opened the kitchen up to integrate the living room and to make it one large space,” explains Camilo, who removed a dividing wall to make that happen. The resulting open area is more spacious and takes advantage of the beautiful sunset views. The kitchen layout was then altered for maximum functionality and the couple’s casual lifestyle, which includes very little cooking. “They order out, and when they do cook, it’s pretty simple, so we kept the space fairly minimal,” says Mascarenhas. This included introducing white-lacquer cabinets and oak-back panels by Ornare, an eco-friendly Brazilian cabinetmaker, into the design. To integrate the now open floor plan, Mascarenhas repeated the same white lacquer and oak panels in the bathroom and further unified the spaces by utilizing the

same large porcelain-tile flooring throughout the house. “It’s a product called Neolith, and we applied it right over the existing marble floors,” says Camilo. “The thickness of the product is 4 millimeters, but believe it or not, it’s extremely durable.” With the backdrop in place, Mascarenhas got busy seeking furnishings and artwork to establish comfortable, pared-down interiors. “The owners are very laid-back and wanted everything to be minimal and low-maintenance,” says the designer, who selected several midcentury modern pieces for their unfussy good looks. Items such as a pair of Saarinen reproduction Womb chairs in the living room, for example, and a dining room table by the same designer provided the desired effect. Furnishings also needed to meld comfort and style, so when a recliner appeared on the homeowners’ must-have list, Mascarenhas searched for “a recliner that doesn’t look like a recliner,” ultimately settling on a sleek, stylish leather model. The upholstered dining room chairs that surround the Saarinen table also meet the comfy-chic criteria. “They swivel so you can get out easily, and you can stay there talking forever as well,” she says. The bedroom areas were also reconfigured to better fit the homeowners’ needs. “They didn’t want a tub, and the master bathroom was unnecessarily large,” says Mascarenhas. As a result, she turned the bathing area into a big shower with a bench, enlarged the closet and turned the original shower space into a powder room. Similarly, in the second bedroom, space was borrowed from the original square footage to expand the closet. Traveling back and forth between New York and Miami, Mascarenhas found items such as the painting by Manuel Esnoz that now hangs above the living room sofa. The large abstract is the perfect complement to the home’s lively palette, which includes jolts of blue in furnishings, bedding and—by the husband’s special request—in the turquoise living room rug. The designer had originally created a similar floor covering for the husband’s sister, and he loved it so much that he insisted on one for this condo. “It’s a patchwork rug designed in big squares, and we worked to get the dye perfect so it was the right tone for him—a happy blue,” Mascarenhas says. For her part, the wife asked for a pink flamingo to inject a touch of whimsy into the space. “She said if she was going to be in Miami, she had to have a flamingo,” says Mascarenhas, who contacted a neon company in New York to create one to her specifications. Fully settled, the homeowners adore their pied-à-terre with a view, often enjoying breakfast on the sunny terrace. And as much as they delight in golfing and cycling on their island paradise, they often prefer simply to stay home. “They love it,” Mascarenhas says. “Whenever clients tell me they don’t ever want to go out, I know they are happy in their place.”

A ceramicist specializing in porcelain, Gerbi Tsesarskaia (shown below) begins her process by sketching out ideas (opposite) before throwing her forms on the wheel.

nature

f you’re in tune with beauty, then you’re able to discover it anywhere,” explains Wynwood-based ceramicist Gerbi Tsesarskaia. Having lived amongst some of the most poetic landscapes in the world—from St. Petersburg and the Baltic Sea to Siberia and Budapest, and now Miami—it’s no surprise that this Russian native’s biggest influence is nature and its relation to the human spirit. “If I see something that inspires me in the natural world, I connect with it and try to understand how it came into being,” she says. “I’m not interested in imitating nature, but rather in adding something of my own creative power to it.” Drawing on her past and present environments—think fierce winds, tumultuous

waters and all-penetrating sand dunes—her work captures both heritage and humanity through the age-old art form, albeit reimagined. Moving to Miami in 1990, Tsesarskaia decided to study ceramics at the urging of a friend. “I just fell in love with clay immediately,” she remarks. “It’s so seductive, so malleable, and it readily responds to the touch of your hands.” Today, she works almost exclusively in porcelain preferring its pure, precious, yet strong, disposition over its close relative, stoneware. Its duality—extremely strong once fired, but also incredibly fragile during the process—is provocative and attractive, it’s very existence hinging on its survival at nearly 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit. “I like every quality of porcelain: its whiteness, translucency,

Tsesarskaia interprets the intersection of nature with the human spirit through her smooth porcelain orbs (above), symbolic of humanity, that sit on a nest of stoneware representing nature’s rough terrain. The ceramicist is drawn to porcelain’s malleable and “magical” composition, shown in this piece (right) inspired by Korean moon jars, and she followed the techniques of Korean potters by firing the form multiple times until the desired effect was achieved.

Tsesarskaiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whimsical hues and patterns are balanced by the functional aspect of her pieces, as seen in these cups and bowls, which were fired in a soda reduction gas kiln at 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit, a temperature so extreme that no piece is ever identical.

A former marionette puppet maker, Tsesarskaia fell in love with the ancient art form of ceramics while taking adult art classes at a local high school. After visiting the wheel and kiln nearly every day for eight years, she graduated with an MFA in ceramics, and today teaches and works from her studio (below) in the Wynwood Arts District.

durability and even its crankiness,” Tsesarskaia admits. “It is very hard to work with but also very rewarding.” Beginning with slabs of porcelain, she initially uses the potter’s wheel to construct her pieces, and from there, alters them using manual techniques such as her signature scratches, fissures and pinches. “I like using all hand-building techniques, especially pinching, since it is the most immediate and intimate way of manipulating materials,” says Tsesarskaia. Working out of Miami’s historical Bakehouse Art Complex, the artist embraces her supportive and thought-provoking community, one that emanates a unique and welcoming environment. Open to the public, the space allows clients and collectors the chance to visit and purchase her dynamic pieces, which is ultimately the way she likes it. “This is actually my favorite way of selling

my art,” she says. “I get to meet the people who enjoy my work, who display it, use it and buy it. It’s important to know where it goes and what has caught people’s eyes.” Tsesarskaia’s intention is to breathe life into a man-made object, turning it into a metaphor for her own experiences. This is apparent with her newest series, Unnamed, which is comprised of translucent orbs glazed in pearly white and silver and slashed with a dark ink-like splatter. Evoking a “shelter” or “hiding place,” the spheres are tied to the idea of humans seen as luminescent beings. The focus is on balance—the pieces roll and move, and are never in one place until they’re settled in a nest made of stoneware to resemble rustic terrain. “It’s actually an analogy for humans and their higher selves,” she says. Or of Tsesarskaia, who is constantly in motion. LUXESOURCE.COM / 293

ood design has a sense of place. The cool linens and chintz florals that look so right in a classic Southern home likely wouldn’t stand up in a soaring Western timber frame structure, where sturdy leathers and heavy woven fabrics make a more appropriate statement. Having designed numerous homes throughout the country, Texas interior designer Joseph Minton is certainly familiar with this idea. So when a previous client contacted him about taking on a residence in Key Largo, Minton knew exactly how to approach it. “I had previously worked on their country home in Texas,” says Minton, “so when they called and asked for my assistance with a house in Florida, my team flew there to photograph it and then proceeded with a plan. I knew for that locale it was going to be important to create interiors that focused on the ocean and natural surroundings.” Built on a corner lot in the exclusive Ocean Reef Club, the five-bedroom home was situated to take advantage of prime waterfront views. “The house was organized to look more like a village than an estate, with a lot of different rooflines, and wings oriented off of different hallways,” explains

LX_MIA13_HOM_Kramer_12.indd 296

architect Robert Wade, who designed the home for its original owners. “When you walk in the front door, you look straight through the great room to the outside. The waterway was the defining element.” Although the flow of the existing architecture was a main selling point, a Polynesian theme throughout the interior presented Minton with his primary challenge. “The overall impression was very dark, with wood beams on the ceiling and teak columns entering the dining room. The existing floors were stone, and the great room included a stackedstone fireplace,” says the designer. “The entire scheme was a little too heavy for the new owners.” In response, Minton suggested painting all the wood white—an idea that caught his clients off guard. “We were a little hesitant,” says the wife. “However, once we realized how bright and beautiful the house would be, we were definitely on board and loved the total transformation.” The lighter backdrop is paired with colors inspired by those found in coral and shells, and the pale pink and aqua that define the great room and bedrooms are also intentionally in tune with the beach environment. “The

The home’s open main living area reflects the palette and textures of the outdoor surroundings. In this space, a Mimi London log sofa and a Kisabeth Furniture sofa, both upholstered in woven Perennials fabric, are paired with customdesigned chairs and ottomans, while the porcelain end table lamps are by Visual Comfort & Co. In the forefront, the vintage pine farm table is from Joseph Minton Antiques, the designer’s showroom in Dallas. The custom-designed chairs and bench are upholstered with Rogers & Goffigon fabric.

beauty of the Ocean Reef Club is magnified by the shades of blue in the ocean, as well as the shifting tones of pink in the sky and the surrounding landscape,” Minton says. “It may be a little trite, but we felt this color palette was appropriate for the locale.” The surroundings also informed a theme for accessorizing, particularly a meticulously curated collection of authentic coral, shell and ocean mineral pieces that appear throughout. For the furniture planning phase, Minton headed back to Texas to design everything in his studio, where he has access to fabrics and carpet samples and the ability to pull from his own line of European-inspired furniture and antiques. “This is a vacation home, so our main goal was to keep it very neutral in style and not have any particular theme,” says Minton. In the dining room, his grouping of an 18th-century French buffet, a pair of iron cranes and a painting based on an underwater photograph of coral is representative of that idea. Continuing the laid-back look, the open-plan great room serves as a beautiful and relaxing gathering place, with seating arrangements that are intimate yet ample enough to accommodate the owners’ children, grandchildren and friends when they visit. Primary pieces, such as the Mimi London log sofa upholstered with comfortable, durable fabric and the facing traditional Kisabeth Furniture sofa, pair with versatile swivel chairs and antique country French tables.

Simple upgrades to the kitchen included painting the original dark wood ceiling white; the cabinetry, island and overhead pendant light are all original to the house. The barstools, custom-designed by Minton, are metal-based with contoured butcher-block wooden seats.

A casual seating area off the kitchen features a three-piece sectional and coffee table, both by Kisabeth Furniture, as well as a variety of pillows covered in Rogers & Goffigon fabric. The artwork is a drypoint painting of a flamingo by Scott Gentling.

Above: The designer installed a collection of custom-sourced and refinished consoles in the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gallery-style bedroom hallways. This console is topped with a French mirror with a silver finish and a collection of white ironstone plates. Left: Central to the formal dining room is a custom table by Minton featuring a cerused racetrack top; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paired with upholstered chairs by Kerr Collection. The designer adorned the wall to the right with a sunburst mirror made of bone to reflect the outdoor waterway and palm trees. The console table, imported from Italy through the Minton-Corley Collection, boasts an iron base and a glass top.

Overlooking the waterway, the master bedroomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focal point is a four-poster iron bed by S&L Designs. The bed is flanked by side tables from The Mews in Dallas, topped with celadon lamps from Debris Antiques, also in Dallas, and paired with a custom settee by Minton, who also custom-embroidered the linen draperies. A natural ivory and Capiz-shell chandelier from Brendan Bass adds a luminescent touch to the room.

At one end, an English pine table, which Minton quips, “looks like it’s out of the kitchen of Downton Abbey,” is coupled with highback chairs and low stools for casual dining, as well as for overflow from the adjoining more formal dining room. Four guest bedrooms at the end of two gallery-style hallways follow the central coral theme. “We found this fabulous embroidered coral-patterned fabric and used it in all four colorways in the bedrooms,” says Minton, referring to the aqua, white, pink and yellow selections. In the master bedroom, which is in a separate wing, the centerpiece is a four-poster iron bed with a chandelier fashioned from ivory Capiz shells. “It’s one of our favorite rooms,” the wife says. “The space is so inviting and has become a quiet oasis for us.” When the time came for installation, the entire process was seamless, and according to the wife, truly remarkable, especially considering the remoteness of the Ocean Reef Club. “The team was so well prepared, right down to the very last detail,” she says. “To me, this was a monumental feat.”

A seating vignette in the master bedroom features a customdesigned chair with nailhead trim and striped Rogers & Goffigon fabric. Minton also custom-designed the red chinoiserIe floor lamp, while the 18th-century wedding armoire is from the designer’s antiques showroom.
