KidSanctuary campus

SINCE 2009, KIDSANCTUARY CAMPUS HAS BEEN A LEADER IN STRATEGICALLY DESIGNING A CAMPUS TO PROVIDE 24-HOUR CARE TO ABUSED, ABANDONED AND NEGLECTED CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THEIR HOMES AND PLACED IN FOSTER CARE. Phase I of the five-acre, neighborhood-style campus is now complete and includes the J.M. Rubin Family Cottage for Girls (2012), the Dodero Family Cottage for Girls (2014) and Sam’s Cottage for Boys (2015). In May 2016, KidSanctuary Campus acquired an additional five acres of neighboring land and is expanding the campus design. A two-story, 10,000-square-foot Enrichment Center will be constructed on the newly acquired land, and a fourth cottage will be built on the existing campus to complete

the project. KidSanctuary Campus continues to strive for excellence to develop a campus that provides critically needed safe homes and enrichment services for children in foster care. We need your help. The children need your help. Please consider giving a gift to make an impact on today’s children in foster care and leave a legacy for future children in our community. We invite you for a tour to see the campus and to meet the children who directly benefit from your support. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

ANTENNAE UP!

I’ve always felt that summer is the season when creative pursuits are ripest to blossom. It may seem counterintuitive that at a time of year when the pace slackens, a colliding of ideas would swell. Yet, it’s precisely the mind-wandering lazy days of summer, when many of us are traveling to far-flung destinations or simply puttering around in the garden on a “Summer Friday,” that the path to inspiration clears. An aha moment can lead you anywhere— hopefully, on a journey of new surroundings and experiences: from a fresh coat of paint on your living room walls to an impromptu dinner party under the stars. Creativity is a spark, best ignited with a large dose of passion, a slice of relaxation and a bit of imagination. This summer, be open to what’s new and refreshing. Hover through these days with your antennae up… sense what is possible. Let this issue, dedicated to exploring international design, be the trigger that kicks it all off.

EDITOR’S LETTER

JOHN POMP

JOHNPOMP.COM

Global Designer Collaborations that Re-imagine the Bath Space How one feels at home, personal wellness and the enjoyment of well-living are qualities that resonate more than ever today with consumers and have become must-have requirements for architects and designers when creating residential projects. As the place where the daily ritual begins and ends, the bathroom environment needs to evolve to reflect these desires. Progressive brands are thinking “outside the bath” and saying goodbye to mundane bath layouts, typical fixtures and homogenized accessories. As companies look to set themselves apart from the pack, more are reinventing the bath space by infusing it with highend European architecture and design. Rather than stick to their normal team of designers, these companies are seeking out talent known for their work in other fields to create products unlike any seen before. These revelatory collaborations tap into the designers’ unique perspectives, resulting in visionary products that go beyond the typical bathroom fare – and capture the creative spirit of imagination, innovation and art with a refined European edge. Ronbow® is one of these companies creating a difference in bath design. The new Signature Series by Ronbow features over 200 new products and 11 new collections of globally trendsetting bathroom products by nine of the world’s most distinguished artists and designers from six European countries. Known for their contributions to iconic brands such as Nike, Adidas, Vuitton, Audi, Apple and a firm recognized for several exotic Italian automobiles, these designers – each with their own unique sensibility – entrusted their prestigious reputations to Ronbow because of their ability to deliver on their requirements and ideas with innovation, great design and outstanding quality. By working with designers who may see the bathroom space and application in a different way than typical, Ronbow has created next-generation bathroom furniture and complete suites integrating a creative edge, convenient and smart innovations such as LED touch-sensitive mirrors, USB ports and plug outlets, refined accessories and unique material combinations.

VENTO - PININFARINA A 360° design house of international repute and a world-renowned symbol of Italian style, Pininfarina is arguably the most recognized brand in Italian sports car design and has designed in a multitude of other fields. The VENTO collection by Ronbow translates the Pininfarina identity into a variety of versatile and functional bathroom pieces for the design-minded consumer. The VENTO collection, or “wind” collection in Italian, emphasizes an elegant, sleek and innovative sinktop design inspired by perfectly smooth snowdrifts carved by fast, strong winds. Unmistakably, the designer’s mastery of Italian grace, sex appeal and flair are all conveyed in the sinktop.

WATERSPACE - JOAN LAO Based in Barcelona, Spain, Joan Lao is an international design icon recognized for his work in product, interior and architectural design. Since opening his design studio in 1985, he has participated in more than 3,000 interior design projects for clients who appreciate his unique design stamp across furniture, lamps and objects – one of balance and peace. Symbolizing soothing, flowing water, the WATERSPACE collection integrates natural tones, undulating textured wood finishes and a curved design theme for a complete sense of balance and tranquility.

PEBBLE - ORA ITO Ora Ito became globally famous in the ’90s by hijacking symbolic brands such as Apple and NIKE and presenting them with virtual visionary 3D products via media. He is ranked among the top 40 most influential people in the world of design and has collaborated with clients including Heineken, Toyota, Adidas and Pathé, to produce award-winning designs. Inspired by pebbles on the seashore, the PEBBLE collection represents Ito’s idea of “Simplexity” – art to give an object with complex functions a visible simplicity. The glossy white wood finish acts as a canvas to best showcase the unique, organic, “pebble-like” shapes and curves, bringing natural elegance and harmony to the contemporary bath.

Thanks to these visionary designer pairings, Ronbow has recontextualized a new world beyond the bath.

NOCE - MATTEO THUN Designed by revered Italian architect and designer Matteo Thun, who is well-known for his design work with Swatch, and Antonio Rodriquez, the NOCE collection was born to combine urban and contemporary classic styles. The NOCE collection is reminiscent of iconic 1960s vintage style with a modern, functional twist, including LEDs and integrated electrical outlets and USB ports. The suite includes mid-century modern inspired vanities along with optional hutches and more – resulting in a space that is compact but comfortable.

WIDE - PHOENIX DESIGN Phoenix Design is regarded as the leading independent studio worldwide for product and interface design, with clients including Audi, Duravit, Hansgrohe, Samsung and ZEISS. Recognized for its revolutionary design achievements, Phoenix Design has received more than 700 design awards since its foundation in 1987 and has collaborated with Ronbow for two new collections. Named for its vertically “stacked,” asymmetrical appearance, the STACK collection is built from layers of contrasting materials, colors, shapes and orientations – creating a unique, multi-functional living space. Inspired by Bauhaus design theory and style, the WIDE collection celebrates the elegance of pure, clean design and harmonious color combinations.

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

LAURE JOLIET

Photographer / Los Angeles

KIMBERLY OLSON Writer / San Francisco

Most memorable interview: I interviewed a couple who were high school sweethearts and had just built their Miami dream home. The design team created a space that was such a reflection of them, incorporating elements that evoked both their world travels and an indoor-outdoor feel, as well as adding a sound system for parties. The husband even designed some first-of-theirkind, remote-controlled gas lanterns, which are now on the market—a true passion project. What’s your design style? I like classic pieces with a sense of history, but I also appreciate clean lines without too much fussiness—and I’m definitely not someone to shy away from color. I have a tufted-velvet sofa in a lovely lime green. No regrets! Prized possessions: A gorgeous Tiffany-style stained glass lamp that my father made for me and an old doll that belonged to my grandmother, which my parents had restored as a birthday gift. I’d include my cat, Ariel, but she rules the roost, so she might object to being called a possession.

CYNTHIA LYNN Photographer / Chicago What type of design inspires you? I’m really fascinated with late19th-century architecture. However, my own personal taste is very modern. I just love when architects and designers marry the two. For example, when they choose to keep the façade of existing structures but completely modernize the living space, I think that’s just fantastic! Most interesting person you’ve ever met: My husband and I went truffle hunting in Alba, Italy, and met a truffle hunter and his dog, Gigi. He was absolutely fascinating—from the way he interacted with the dog to the history he upheld for the art of truffle hunting. It was as if he were a character written for a book. He also spoke very little English, so his enchanting personality transcended language barriers. It was one of my fondest memories, and I’m so grateful we were able to meet him. If I weren’t a photographer, I would… Run an animal rescue and rehabilitation center. I’m a huge animal person and have such a soft spot for dogs. I do what I can now by fostering, but I would love to do more someday.

JENNIFER SERGENT Writer / Washington, D.C. What do you find most enjoyable about design? I like that it’s so personal, like music. Designers can take the same fabrics and furniture (as musicians do with the same notes and scales) and combine them in limitless ways to express a point of view or mood. I see interior design as transformative for the psyche even more than for aesthetics. Prized possession: A chest my husband commissioned designer and furniture maker Caleb Woodard to make for me. The carved wood on the doors resembles woven ribbons. If money were no object, I would buy… A beach house in Fenwick Island, Delaware. I’ve vacationed there with my family since I was little, and it would be great to own something there.

Favorite Luxe shoot: A penthouse in San Francisco I photographed that had views of the Transamerica building, through the dining room window, and the Golden Gate Bridge, out the living room windows. It was great! What’s intriguing you now in the world of design? I like that there’s so much room these days for innovation and experimentation. The Internet has democratized a lot of the design world, so small firms making thoughtful pieces can thrive alongside huge companies. Most fascinating person you’ve ever met: I sat next to an army doctor on a flight out of Boise who was on his way to Liberia to head up Ebola treatment centers at the peak of the epidemic. He had so much life experience, compassion and courage, as well as epic patience, as I peppered him with questions for two hours. Top three things on your design wish list: I would love to own a heated outdoor bench from Galanter & Jones for chilly California evenings, artwork by Lauren Spencer King, and a custom quilt from Counterpane.

DRAWN TO SCALE

THE CREATIVE FORCE BEHIND THE BELOVED OUTDOOR FURNITURE BRAND JANUS ET CIE, JANICE FELDMAN DESIGNS HER OWN LEGACY THANKS TO A COUPLE OF MUCH-BUZZED-ABOUT NEW PARTNERSHIPS.

Share your recent decision to join Haworth and the Poltrona Frau Group. Well, it’s been a journey, but I wanted very much to ensure the future of my business: that when I’ve retired, to that great drawing board in the sky, my life’s work will be cared for and regarded with admiration and respect, and that I’ll have created a good, safe place for the people who have helped me get to where I am. Poltrona Frau is a great bastion of luxury furniture, and they’re super-respectful of the autonomy of their individual brands, so I feel honored to be the little sister of their group. They’re going to help us grow globally much quicker than I could have as a standalone company.

Is there anything you’ll miss about going at it alone? Truly, I was never really “alone.” When I was a little girl, my mother always said, “You can do anything.” I’ve lived with that in my head and heart, and she helped and encouraged me every step of the way. The best part about being independent for so long was that I got to prove my mother right. I’ve always made decisions based on my own feelings and my own definitions of what’s good or bad, so it might be challenging at first to be more collaborative and sensitive to other people’s visions, but Dario Rinero, Poltrona’s CEO, is a wonderful leader, and I’m confident we have a lot to learn from each other.

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

What led you to tap Piero Lissoni to design an upcoming collection for Janus et Cie? I’ve been tracking him for a long time, and I just think everything he does is beautiful. He’s also a total character. Every time I look at Piero, I’m struck by his physicality: I want to draw him. He’s got this long, linear, Giacometti thing happening, and it’s in his drawings and product design, too. I trust the collection will be something very special and that it will be refined and long-lived—something where, 20 or 50 years from now, people will still say they want to buy pieces from the collaboration. How do you keep your creative mojo alive and well? I love to sketch. It helps me think—to take things out of my head and put them down on paper. I started drawing at a very young age, and I was hooked the moment I took my first art class. The instructor made us look at the model and draw without referencing the paper in front of us at all. It was kind of amazing to let your brain communicate directly with your fingers and the pen and to not be burdened by having to check in on yourself. It stuck with me. Today, I often keep a journal or a notepad when I travel; sometimes, I jot down ideas, and other times, I’ll paint a portrait or a chair—anything really. I’m extremely visual, and I edit the world in my own way every day.

ANTIQUING IS ALL ABOUT THE THRILL OF THE HUNT, UNEARTHING DÉCOR RICHES THAT TAKE INTERIORS TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH PROVENANCE.

Antique neophytes and aficionados alike know that when it comes to seeking period pieces in Europe, the legendary Paris Flea Market is a beacon of uncovered treasures that is not to be missed. In any given direction of the décor haven, though, there is a bevy of insider-caliber antiques dealers and emporiums silently beckoning from the far corners of southern England, Holland, northern France and Belgium, where private residences (such as Axel Vervoordt’s storied castle) open their doors to welcome guests, by-appointment only, on the hunt for uncommon goods. Here, a collection of antique garden gnomes and neo-Gothic cathedral ceilings are as fair game as British Colonial case goods and Louis-era anything. What was once a sport for design-loving history buffs, and, let’s face it, your grandmother, is now much further reaching. “Antiques are being used more overall, but less in abundance,” notes Toma Clark Haines, CEO and founder of The Antiques Diva & Co., Europe’s largest network of antiques buying tours. “More people are seeking something authentic that their neighbor doesn’t have, including the younger generation. They are looking for experiences as unique as they are and want their homes to tell those stories through key pieces.” Haines, an American expat whose home base is in Berlin, offers a crucial piece of advice no matter how obscure or conventional your purchasing pursuits: “Buy with your heart. You may not know the difference between Louis XV and Louis XVI, but if you buy what you love, you can always learn about it later.” Taking her cue, we invite you to explore our robust list of must-shop European dealers and locales—we dare you to leave empty-handed.

Lorfords Antiques Tetbury, England

Reason to go: For argument’s sake, Lorfords Antiques in Tetbury, England, has the best inventory in all of the U.K. and Europe. According to Haines: “It’s like you’ve taken the Paris Flea Market and picked out the top 10 percent of its decorative items and put them in one unexpected location.” What you’ll find: Owners Toby Lorford and Lesley Ferguson converted two World War II-era aircraft hangars, which currently house the wares of 45 dealers. It’s truly a one-stop shop where time seems to stand still (though quickly ticks away) while visitors scour every alcove and leave feeling like family. Their selection runs the gamut, including standouts like a signed 18th-century Swedish Rococo tragsoffa, late 18th-century French limestone wellhead and a pair of circa-1970s Ingo Maurer spring lamps.

Paul De Grande Snellegem, Belgium

Reason to go: Paul De Grande’s personal collection of over 10,000 antiques is reason enough to make a stop in Snellegem, Belgium. The pieces are effortlessly on display in his own home: a glorious property that greets you with marble sculptures and bronze busts set atop fluted pedestals. Just when you think you’ve seen everything De Grande has to offer on the ground level of his castle, you descend into the basement to uncover a labyrinth of goods. What you’ll find: The discoveries are wide in range: Meandering through the castle unveils cast-iron lion and unicorn andirons from the 19th century mingling fluently with a decorative carousel duck poised beside an unusual 18th-century country French vaisselier, while inlaid Chinese chairs inset with marble plaques in the backrest join 17th-century Flemish tapestries and Dutch carved coconut flasks. And as if the options in De Grande’s residence weren’t sufficient, there are voluminous warehouses a quick car ride away with a dizzying assortment of 16th- to 19th-century cupboards, vitrines, commodes, bureaus and even a life-size patinated zinc camel.

Jean-Philippe Demeyer Knokke-Heist, Belgium Reason to go: Jean-Philippe Demeyer takes obvious chances with his antiques picks, but trust us, it’s all good. The spaces in his moatencircled castle, well, one is more lavish than the next, fashioned with a cocktail of textures,

Clockwise from top: Paul De Grande’s warehouse space is a trove of antique goods. A quiet moment at Bie Baert’s personal home. You’ll find elegant historical pieces next door to the beautiful JVR108 guesthouse in Antwerp. The personality-filled sitting room at Jean-Philippe Demeyer’s Belgian home.

colors and peculiarities that all add up to a somehow melodious visual feast. What you’ll find: It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly what will be available at Demeyer’s home on any given weekend, as the designer and antiques enthusiast buys whatever strikes his fancy. Nothing is off-limits, as Demeyer isn’t tied to any of the fantastic specimens he owns; in fact, he welcomes change, and observes pieces coming and going as an opportunity to hunt down more precious décor gems.

Bie Baert Brecht, Belgium

Reason to go: Sometimes, if you’re lucky, you’ll encounter a person and place that make you feel immediately at ease. Bie Baert is that person, and her charming cottage on the outskirts of Antwerp is that place. Like walking

into an old friend’s home (coffee and tea at the ready), Baert’s magnetic personality and collection will welcome you into her eccentric world, where a pair of distressed wooden penguins and a gilded papier-mâché boot holding an umbrella will leave you wondering why you didn’t already own such quirky things. What you’ll find: Antique garden gnomes, an anatomical model of a worker bee and a menagerie of wooden lay figures somehow seem obvious, filling every nook and cranny of Baert’s home. Your resting place for an espresso and a chat, a 14-foot-long table, made out of one solid piece of oak, is where you survey your surroundings and unexpectedly spot two perfectly worn red-leather Cassina chairs and a cheery bird-adorned plaster chandelier by Jacques Darbaud, circa 1990.

JVR108

Antwerp, Belgium

Reason to go: Antiquing through Belgium could take a few days, and Philip Ver Hoeye and Frederick Aers’ luxury three-bedroom guesthouse in Antwerp is unquestionably an ultrachic place to rest. The best part? Most of the furnishings throughout the fully renovated historical mansion are for sale, as are all the finds next door at their dedicated antiques shop. What you’ll find: The lovely hosts of JVR108 recently acquired all the contents of Belgium’s famous Chateau Rozenhout, which means you can own an iconic piece from one of the great houses of Europe. Other offerings include keenly curated British, Italian, Swedish and Asian antiques that exemplify the couple’s exceptional tastes.

Monique Relander Schoten, Belgium

Reason to go: From the looks of Monique Relander’s home, “edit, edit, edit” is her mantra. An impeccable assortment of antique and vintage furnishings, lighting, tabletop and décor beckon you to roam through every room, taking in the crystal chandeliers, velvet scallop-edged settees, and oil works by Belgian artist Smaël Laurent. What you’ll find: Newly upholstered midcentury Italian armchairs, Swedish loungers and Louis XV-style caned dining chairs abound. A zebra-hide rug might lead your eye into another room where a marble-topped gueridon table with gilded swan adornments holds a Maison Charles pineapple lamp. A peek into her country kitchen, complete with a bifocals-wearing boar head holding guard above the fireplace, may reveal a medley of vintage fruit-shaped ice buckets.

Anouk Beerents Amsterdam, Netherlands

Reason to go: If you’re ever faced with the arduous choice of how to spend an afternoon in Amsterdam, we’re about to make it easy for you: Make a point to see Anouk Beerents’ inconceivably magical mirror shop. Ornate gilded mirror after mirror hung on movable tracks will leave you intoxicated and enamored, as if you walked through the looking glass itself into a wonderland. What you’ll find: Beerents specializes in 18th- and 19th-century French gilded

mirrors, specifically Louis XIV, Régence, Louis XV and Louis XVI, all of which she sources herself. To preserve authenticity, Beerents conservatively restores them with old-world techniques.

Espace Nord Ouest Bondues, France

Reason to go: Two hours north of Paris, Espace Nord Ouest is quickly becoming the European source for antiques dealers in the states that focus on decorative eccentricities, as well as major fashion retailers looking to outfit their stores with unique curiosities. What you’ll find: Seventeen professional dealers over nearly 13,000 square feet offer a downright cool assortment of 17th- to 20th-century pieces, such as industrial and shop furniture, garden décor, architectural salvage, classic French seating and case pieces, and vintage midcentury lighting and furnishings.

RADAR / COLLABORATION

A lavish robe shot through with silk. A vessel painstakingly engraved with precious metals. A portrait rendered in watercolor, ink and gold. The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s recent exhibition “Court and Cosmos: The Great Age of the Seljuqs” showcases the artistic splendor that flourished during the reign of the Seljuqs, whose rule stretched across Western Asia from the 11th through the 13th centuries. In conjunction with the show, the museum’s store is introducing a line of modern-day heirlooms—ranging from glass objects and jewelry to ceramics and limited-edition rugs— that celebrate the dynamic legacy of the period. “It was evident that the pattern and color inherent in the original art still influences and inspires makers today,” says Susan Noonan, the museum’s general manager of buying and merchandising.

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY LISA BINGHAM DEWART

Among those tapped to create the new interpretations of these centuries-old designs was Barbara Barran of Classic Rug Collection in New York. “The colors are gorgeous, and I love the geometry,” Barran says of the region’s art. It wouldn’t be the first time Barran, who has traveled frequently to the Middle East, has transformed work from the area into carpets. “I’ve designed rugs based on Iznik tiles and translated them into 300-knot silk,” she notes. “The Seljuq pieces are from a slightly earlier time period, but there was something about them that was very familiar.” The source materials selected as a jumpingoff point for the rugs immediately resonated with Barran, easily informing her design direction. For example, after seeing the stone-paste mina’i bowl with an abstract pattern from some 900

years ago in the museum’s collection—which served as the foundation for the Mina’i Good Wishes rug (above)—Barran “knew it should be a wool flat weave because it needed to have the earthiness of the original bowl,” adding, “The colors were lovely and the repetition of the pattern had a gorgeous rhythm.” The other source—another mina’i piece featuring a zigzag pattern and gilding—suggested a more polished take. Offered in wool with silk accents, the Mina’i Zigzag rug hews closely to the spirit of its namesake but is imbued with a modern feel. While nearly a millennium separates Barran from the original creators, she still feels a sense of connection. “There’s a liveliness to the art from this period,” Barran explains. “You look at it and find yourself picturing the people who created it. To me, they’re not strangers.”

UPWARDLY MOBILE THE WORLD’S FOREMOST VENUE FOR LUXURY FURNISHINGS AND ACCESSORIES—SALONE DEL MOBILE—CAPTURES THE INHERENT COOL OF THE ITALIAN CITY THAT IT CALLS HOME.

Among Salone del Mobile’s many new introductions were (clockwise from top) Natuzzi’s Dorian line, Flou’s Softwing bed—an update on the company’s famous Nathalie—and Poltrona Frau’s Neri&Hu-designed mirror.

It is, as it turns out, nearly impossible to order an icy glass of water in Milan—room-temperature naturale being completely de rigueur; instead, the cosmopolitan Italian city concerns itself with a different kind of cool. Here, for one week each spring, its fashionable citizens (think plenty of black, linen, leather and painstakingly rolled-up jeans and cigarette pants) join an international conglomerate of visiting design aficionados, trading in their impossibly stylish heels and wingtips for sensible footwear all in the name of design as Salone del Mobile rolls into town. The floors of Salone, the world’s largest furnishings fair, which inhabits the sprawling halls of the Milano Congressi convention center designed by Mario Bellini, are meant to be thoroughly explored, pavement pounded—each corner of its nearly 600,000 square feet filled with furniture and accessories from the world’s preeminent creative minds. And while the talent hails from all over Europe and beyond, there’s a distinctly Italian flavor to the proceedings: a flair for the dramatic and a gravitas provided by the beautifully preserved centuries-old buildings that host the design events within the city, both in the showrooms of established Italian brands and in a bevy of what we affectionately referred to as “palazzo pop-ups” during our visit. Kohler’s showing of its new line of fixtures in collaboration with the French designer Jean-Louis Deniot, for example, takes place at the tony Palazzo Durini di Monza, a 17th-century mansion designed by the Baroque architect Francesco Maria Richini—a juxtaposition of modern chrome and porcelain against ancient stone and Renaissance art. In Bottega Veneta’s dedicated home boutique, too, the venerable fashion house-turned-luxury furniture brand pairs the sleek lines of its übermodern living, dining, office and bedroom

offerings with 18th-century frescoes by artists like Carlo Innocenzo Carlone and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. The result is startling but also, somehow, entirely inevitable thanks to the attention to detail that is paramount in Italian design. And it’s everywhere. For celebrated kitchen brands like Varenna by Poliform and Boffi, each cabinet front and drawer is a work of art—every element carefully veneered, laser-cut and dovetailed together like so many puzzle pieces. At Flou, a variety of new introductions are a pitch-perfect complement to the brand’s longtime bestsellers, like the Nathalie—arguably the industry’s first upholstered bed, designed by Vico Magistretti in 1978, which still looks utterly timeless with its tireless slipcovered reinventions. Longtime power players B&B Italia and Flexform, too, stay nimble by introducing covetable new pieces— like the Do-Maru armchair by Doshi Levien and a brand-new line of seating by Daniel Libeskind, respectively—to a roster of old favorites. On once-barren concrete plots in the middle of the convention center, each brand transforms its booth into a mini home away from home—each one different and dazzling but many embracing a rich, Italian minimalism as a common theme along with another unifier, this one a bit more material (literally): While structured Italian footwear is more or less on hiatus for the week, leather pervades everything else. It’s in the thick straps of the striking, buckled light pendants and impressive Neri&Hu-designed mirror and valet stand at Poltrona Frau; it’s used in a hundred different ways on the supple cushions of Natuzzi and Molteni&C’s many beautiful sofas and chairs; it’s inset into the ultimate desk for movers and shakers at Promemoria; and it’s woven and stitched with remarkable precision across a variety of Hermès home offerings. For all its eye candy and endless inspiration, the true beauty of Salone is in the escape it provides: Here, there are a multitude of worlds rapidly constructed, but with great care, that you can imagine yourself in, with thousands of new products with which to redesign the perfect room in your mind, and not a single person to pass judgment. They’re design lovers, after all, and they’re likely doing the exact same thing, and we’re happy to toast to that—the water may be warm, but the Prosecco is ice cold.

CURATOR

VIZCAYA MUSEUM & GARDENS “I think originality lies in the possibility of seeing something new in the everyday. That’s creativity at its best. In the case of Vizcaya, we ask artists to react to the site, either physically or conceptually, making sure that it is a point of departure for a work. I enjoy works that have a dialogue with their physical context and am less interested in pieces that are simply hung on a wall and meant to be admired. Innovative ways of merging art and life are what really excite me because they suggest an evolution from art that is disconnected from life, to a lifestyle that embraces art in all that we do. For areas to check out, the Little River part of town is where established galleries are slowly migrating and seeking to carve out a new artistic identity. Sometimes all an artist needs is the right platform, and when given a chance, he or she can reach entirely new levels in his or her career. Collectors should not just collect; they should be patrons of living artists.” —GINA WOUTERS, VIZCAYA.ORG

Seldom Seamed, a creative duo based in artsy Lake Worth, designs and fabricates visual display elements for high-end hospitality clients. “Basically, we’re the people you go to when you have no idea how to make your vision a reality,” says one half of the twosome, Nick Nardone. Together, with his partner and wife, Ashley, they continue to defy expectation and, in some instances, gravity. Case in point: For farm-to-table eatery Dirt in South Beach, they fabricated a floating world map entirely of cross-cut copper pipe segments suspended over a silhouette of Florida on a wall made entirely of copper sheet (shown above). Below, the pair dishes on the who, where and what of design in Lake Worth. seldomseamed.com For the design-obsessed: If you’re interested in architecture and art, there's no better place to visit than EmKo in West Palm Beach. We also love “The Musical Swings” in Downtown West Palm Beach and FATVillage in Fort Lauderdale. Neighborhood on the rise: Definitely downtown Lake Worth. We’re not even a mile from the Atlantic Ocean, and we have every kind of store we need within blocks of us: a clay studio, glass-blowing foundry, a bunch of galleries, a half-dozen music venues and multiple craft brew bars. It’s not going to stay Florida’s best-kept secret for long.

Chef Daniel Boulud’s outpost in The Brazilian Court hotel, which first opened in 2003, recently unveiled a welcome facelift. “The vision of the redesign was to give a fresh look to the iconic restaurant and private dining spaces while keeping with the existing architectural elements of the hotel,” says Lauren Hastings of LSI Designs, the senior designer on the project. In the redesign, the backlit bar serves as the centerpiece of the restaurant and emits a subtle glow, sparkling against mother-of-pearl ceiling panels encased in a frame of warm pecky cypress. The ballroom skylight, meanwhile, makes the interiors feel bright and airy. The refresh excludes the venue’s beloved courtyard terrace: a long-time favorite of the who’s who of Palm Beach. thebraziliancourt.com 126 / LUXESOURCE.COM

Ones to watch: One of our favorite designers and makers is Studio|C. Curtis and Ani Spoerlein, the owners, are a Lake Worth-based duo that design and craft conversation pieces and heirloom-quality furnishings.

DATE BOOK MICHAEL DOLATOWSKI DEFT UNION

Miami-based Deft Union is a design and custom fabrication studio founded by Michael Dolatowski, Craig Hamlin and Taylor Kienholz. “My partners and I met while working at Guild,” says Dolatowski, the architect of the bunch. Guild is the New Yorkbased design-build company that brought the three creatives to Miami, and when Guild closed its South Florida office, the trio saw it as an opportunity. “It was obvious to me then that Miami was on the tipping point of a major cultural evolution,” adds Dolatowski. And so they kept their deft union in Miami’s enthusiastic creative community, armed with the motto, “Fearlessly creative. Expertly crafted.” As of February, their wares, which demonstrate just that, include a line of furniture called Future Vintage Collection, which is being shown throughout the city. The team currently occupies a 7,000-square-foot space in Little Haiti, Miami’s hippest ’hood and what Dolatowski calls the city’s “creative heart,” adding, “Miami is the most amazing place to be as a designer right now. The city is evolving so much in terms of talent, taste level and openness to design.” Here, the architect shares with us his idea of the perfect day in Miami for the creative set. deftunion.com

10 a.m. Head toward the Design District and stop at Buena Vista Deli for breakfast. A coffee, quiche and salad while sitting outside is the perfect start to the day. 11 a.m. Walk down the Paseo Ponti and window-shop. Get inspiration from the windows at Dior, Hermès, Fendi and Louis Vuitton. Take in the District’s public art collection, as well. My favorite is the Fly’s Eye dome in Palm Court. It’s a replica of a Buckminster Fuller piece and photographs super well—ideal for garnering Instagram likes! 12 p.m. Stop into the Institute of Contemporary Art; it’s one of Miami’s youngest museums temporarily located in one of 128 / LUXESOURCE.COM

our most historic edifices, the Moore Building. The new gallery has already impressed with great exhibitions and programming and, best of all, it’s free. 1 p.m. Travel down toward Wynwood and visit Art by God. It’s one of the weirdest places in Miami. You can buy dinosaur bones and take photos with all sorts of exotic animals. It’s a really cool experience, and we’re lucky to have it available so close to home. 2 p.m. Grab lunch at Wynwood Diner. The food is delicious and the cocktails are refreshing—my favorite is the Tainted Love. It’s also great for people watching. 3 p.m. Take a stroll up and down Northwest 2nd Avenue, the main strip in Wynwood. You can shop for some new clothes at MIMO Market, OFY, MVM or Style Mafia; or find cool gifts at Frangipani and Shinola Detroit. 4 p.m. Hang out in one of the neighborhood’s craft breweries.

My favorite is Concrete Beach—where I always get a tasting flight—or Boxelder Craft Beer Market, which sells a variety of local brews. 5 p.m. Next, hop in an Uber and head to the second museum of the day: the Pérez Art Museum Miami. Located in Museum Park and designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron, the building is absolutely stunning and its location on Biscayne Bay is breathtaking. 6 p.m. Go for a walk downtown. The Flagler Street area has a bit of a dodgy reputation, but it’s in the process of evolving, and there are some architectural gems there. The Olympia Theater, the Dupont Building, and the soon-to-be-underconstruction One Thousand Museum (by the late Zaha Hadid) are on the list of sights.

EOLO A&I DESIGN At Eolo A&I Design, the creation of a home depends upon an understanding of energy flow, constant renovation, environmental preservation and teamwork at every level. “Our philosophy is to respect the client’s needs and dreams in order to achieve a beautiful, enjoyable and sustainable project,” says principal Sandra Diaz-Velasco. “My process starts the moment I meet a client. Once we begin an open and synergetic dialogue, the ideas start coming together, and we are able to build the puzzle. My favorite aspect is capturing the emotions the homeowner wants to convey and watching them translate into the design.” Eolo, a full-service architecture and design firm, has become known for DiazVelasco’s thoughtful combination of modern elements with traditional styles. A lover of all forms of artistic expression, Diaz-Velasco’s desire to reflect emotion in her designs was instilled by her grandfather’s love for craftsmanship and ability to turn simple aesthetic components into art forms. “I developed a passion and talent for designing structures and spaces through a holistic approach,” she says. Having completed projects throughout Florida, Latin America and the Caribbean, the designer and architect has been the recipient of numerous awards, among which her recognition as one of DCOTA’s Stars on the Rise may be the most telling.

ITALIAN CABINETRY At the heart of Italian Cabinetry’s philosophy is a commitment to emotional engineering: the production of a beautiful product that combines intelligent, relevant technologies and contemporary luxury. While modernization is a part of this ideal, CEO Rodrigo Mattevi and director John Rogers say they will never lose sight of the company’s traditional values: integrity, understanding, excellence, unity and responsibility. “We believe business should be done in a fair, honest and transparent way,” Mattevi says. “We operate with respect, compassion and humanity for our clients and colleagues, and we aim for the highest standards possible. Additionally, we are always responsible to the communities in which we work. Our goal is to ensure everyone benefits from working with us. Success is a result of building strong, mutually beneficial relationships.” Although it was once a producer of chairs and tables, the company is now a leading designer and manufacturer of high-quality cabinetry for use in kitchens, bathrooms, closets and more. The constantly evolving South Florida market and its unique possibilities for local manufacturing provide a thriving environment in which the Italian Cabinetry team can work. “Our creative process is inspired by the combination of styles and ergonomics that gives us the ability to change character to reflect our customers’ needs and desires,” Rogers says. “A project is successful when a high level of customer satisfaction is achieved while we strive for perfection.” Recently, the firm completed a case goods renovation for a four-star hotel in Miami, created kitchens and vanities for a first-class senior living facility in West Palm Beach and was awarded a contract for Landmark by Lennar, one of the largest home builders in the United States.

Using a clever blend of materials and a brilliant palette of pale pinks and blues, fashion journalist-turned-hotelier Vanessa Scoffier takes a casual yet chic approach to traditional French design with Hotel Henriette. Located on a quintessentially European cobblestone street in the 13th Arrondissement, the hotel boasts ample boutique qualities and unexpected details. Here, we take our lead from the hotel’s private and public spaces— outfitted with plush, organic textiles and antique metalwork throughout—for a collection of items, like luxe linens from Cultiver in dreamy, subdued hues and a delicate brass bowl by Blackman Cruz, that capture the essence of cool thanks to a little je ne sais quoi.

ISLAND TIME

PLAYA GRANDE BEACH CLUB: MARIA TRINIDAD SANCHEZ, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC 10

Inspired by local island life and traditional Dominican Colonial architecture, interior designer Celerie Kemble collaborated with historic preservationist Elric Endersby to create the idyllic retreat of Playa Grande Beach Club. A blend of vintage and contemporary elements, this tropical oasis showcases a palette of vibrant hues paired with neutral tones of raw, natural materials. In a style akin to the hotel’s breezy and native design, Sebastian Herkner’s poolside rocking chair for Dedon—made of a solid-teak frame—uses organic elements in a similar way, with laid-back sophistication in mind. So kick back, relax and style your own seasonal seaside hideaway.

PARADISE FOUND SALA AYUTTHAYA: AYUTTHAYA, THAILAND

Renowned for its opulent temples and lavish sacred spaces, Thailand takes great pride in its legendary history of architecture and design. Located directly across from the Wat Phutthai Sawan temple, built in 1353 A.D. by the first monarch of the area, Sala Ayutthaya was conceived with both its namesake’s long architectural past in mind and a focus on reinvented minimalist Thai design. Visionaries Siriyot Chaiamnuay and Arisara Chaktranon of architectural firm Onion embraced a purist palette and pale pops of serene colors—not unlike Cle Tile’s Vintage Rose accents and Louise Gray’s Quilt No. 3. shown here—and commissioned local talent to help construct the tranquil refuge in the heart of this storied city.

At first sight: Christophe Delcourt’s piece is inspired by nature but executed in a distinctly modern way. France is all about beauty and tradition: The country has a vast design history that creatives, especially in the culinary and furniture worlds, must honor and interpret. But above all… You can always count on a French designer to revel in beauty. A statement piece… Stands out on its own, has a story and evokes conversation. To me, this entire piece reads as a sculpture: The table represents a great balance of form and function. It’s hard to achieve that balance, but you don’t get there without taking a risk. Lasting impression: Angular, dynamic, artistic, structural, modern.

PALME D’OR

THE PIECE: Zer Coffee Table THE DESIGNER: Christophe Delcourt MADE IN: France FIND IT: avenue-road.com THE INSPIRATION: Using graphic zebrano wood veneer as his medium of choice, designer Christophe Delcourt employs sculptural form to successfully reimagine the art of marquetry—breathing new life into a classic technique.

SARAH & SHERMAN SAMUEL

DESIGNER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR SARAHSHERMANSAMUEL.COM

At first sight: I’m struck by Peca’s clever and restrained use of natural materials. It’s such an artful mélange of brass, stone and marble. The juxtapositions within the composition… Are alluring and calming all at once; the soft textiles of the background beautifully foil the natural, hard materials used for the tray and candleholders. I’d love to see… The candleholders reimagined as a giant abacus. When scouting product for my clients… These are the types of pieces I like to introduce. It’s so important to be aware of the artisanal hand behind the designs you bring into someone’s home. Boundaries in design… Exist to be pushed: No risk, no reward. Lasting impression: Balanced, sculptural, geometric, artful, bold.

STRING THEORY THE PIECE: Husk Medium-High Chair THE DESIGNER: Marc Thorpe MADE IN: Italy FIND IT: moroso.it THE INSPIRATION: The contoured lines of these handwoven polyethylene yarns result in a playful seating dialogue sure to keep potential perchers charmed and intrigued.

At first sight: Naturally, I love the riot of bold, carnival colors Marc Thorpe used with this piece, which feels perfectly timed for this year’s Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. And as a champion of color… I’m always encouraging my clients and readers to embrace hue in all forms, from soft shades to zingy brights. I’m drawn to Italian design… Because artists combine native craftsmanship with industrial processing techniques, manifesting in products that reflect inspirations across the world stage. A statement piece… Is that hero object that captures the eye and provides a resting point. Lasting impression: Proud, witty, fierce, bold, sexy.

IN THE MIX THE PIECE: Full Moon Collection THE DESIGNER: Chaehoon Moon MADE IN: Korea FIND IT: damooncollection.com THE INSPIRATION: Product designer Chaehoon Moon is fearless when it comes to her material choices, assembling stunning handcrafted yuhgee tableware (borne from a combination of copper and tin) with a traditional ott-chil (textured Korean lacquer) finish. But it’s the pieces’ subtle collision of these tangibles that proves to be so unforgettable.

At first sight: Chaehoon Moon’s collection has a galactic elegance. To me, the pieces represent what’s next in design: total understated futurism. Korean design… As seen here, practices beautiful restraint and simplicity, which is much harder than it looks. Handmade is the truest luxury: Handcrafted using new materials and traditional inspiration, these pieces have a magnetic energy you can’t deny. The cast palm shadows and velvet background… Remind me of dreamy, high-end entertaining on the West Coast. I could imagine myself… Dishing out fresh crudités in these fab, modern vessels. Lasting impression: Refined, clean, lustrous, minimal, gentle.

At first sight: We love that Gabriel Scott’s bench mixes modern with traditional design, and we also go crazy for anything with a good rivet. Provenance and history are key for us: We are storytellers, and the pieces that we present to our clients should have an amazing tale to tell. The Madcaps love a great velvet: It’s like Auntie Mame went to Venice before heading to Morocco for heaps of cocktails. A statement piece… Can serve as a conversation starter when you meet someone at a party and have no idea what to talk about. We’d like to see this bench… In a hallway under a blowsy floral wallpaper. Lasting impression: Riveted, gilt, versatile, chic, edgy.

At first sight: Rachel Horn’s tables are a fresh update on a classic design; she pulls classic shapes, design and motifs and seamlessly updates them with a modern point of view. Mexico is home to some of the most incredible artisans: Metalwork is the country’s specialty, and the connection between the age-old technique and Rachel’s designs is very apparent. Nothing worth having comes easily: The best moments in design happen beyond our comfort zones. The simple silhouette of these tables takes on a whole new level of interest through the designer’s use of rough-hewn texture on the legs. The blush velvet hues and moody shadows of the composition read as lush and vibrant… And I am instantly transported to a beautiful courtyard in San Miguel de Allende. Lasting impression: Classic, refined, fresh, polished, textural.

BALDWIN HARDWARE 2

“

Think about your design aesthetic and finishes—what kind of hardware you will need. Design around that.

”

It’s not as bold as one might think to compare fashion to decorative hardware. It enhances, adorns and beautifies while fulfilling utilitarian needs—and it is every bit subject to fads and design movements. Baldwin Hardware of Lake Forest, California, is a pioneer in the realm of hardware, crafting art-worthy, design-forward pieces that successfully defy trends. “We prefer to think of Baldwin as a fashion statement for the home: part of your design aesthetic,” says Baldwin Hardware Senior Brand Manager PJ Rosch. “Baldwin is couture for the door.” Celebrating its 70th year as an industry leader, Baldwin Hardware distinguishes itself from its contemporaries with an unwavering dedication to quality materials and design, not to mention seemingly infinite styles and finishes from which to choose. “We love creating inspirational design through the depth and breadth of our products and finishes,” Rosch says. Designers for the decorative hardware firm are embracing midcentury modern aesthetics and are also seeing a greater demand for black metals. “We are loving midcentury modern right now. It’s a great nod to the past, but with an updated style,” she says. “Also, black metals are all the rage now, but brass and warm, gold tones continue to gain popularity.”

1. Baldwin® Hardware’s newest additions to its best-selling Reserve portfolio are the La Jolla and Santa Cruz handlesets, Crystal knob and Contemporary knob. baldwinhardware.com 2. The Contemporary knob features a round shape contrasted with flat edges. The knob will pair nicely with products available in the Reserve collection. 3. The square full-escutcheon Santa Cruz handleset plays to a contemporary audience with a long profile.

INSIGHT, TIPS AND MORE FROM BALDWIN HARDWARE Style genre of note: Midcentury modern. Materials and finishes: Black metals, brass and warm, gold tones. A quick and chic kitchen update: New cabinet knobs and pulls are an easy, cost-effective way to refresh a kitchen. The new bathroom: Means having more living space. Chairs, flowers and a homey vibe are in—countertop clutter is out. Trends and you: Don’t worry about trends. Be sure to infuse your own personal style into your space and make it truly yours. A new era of opulence: 2016 is about luxury and options. People want well-crafted, timeless pieces that are high quality, complemented by artisanal pieces.

DACOR

Q+A WITH KITCHEN MARKETEERS CHUCK HUEBNER AND MICHAEL WEST OF DACOR

Founded in 1965, Dacor is a leading manufacturer of ultra-premium kitchen appliances. Designed and built in California, Dacor’s cooking appliances integrate function, technology and style to create intuitive products that reflect the lifestyle and needs of the passionate home chef. Dacor is also the first and only kitchen appliance brand to be tested and recommended by the master chefs of Le Cordon Bleu. Dacor manufactures a full suite of award-winning appliances, including ranges, cooktops, wall ovens, refrigeration, ventilation and wine preservation. Family-owned for more than 50 years, the company is responsible for many of the innovations that have improved the way people cook in the modern kitchen. Dacor created the 30-inch wall oven category, was the first to integrate an Android™powered tablet in ranges and ovens for the connected kitchen, and made the first continuous platform grates on cooktops, among other advances.

What are the top style and material trends for 2016? In kitchen appliances, stainless steel remains the most popular finish. Designers are gravitating toward color to offer their clients something different and fresh. Some are using color to solve problems, such as matching new appliances to established kitchen color schemes they want to keep. What should every well-designed kitchen have? Appliances placed to keep eye contact with your family or guests make for a better interactive experience. Placing a cooktop in the kitchen island with a motorized downdraft is a great way to not have your back to them, as is common with the conventional placement of ranges/cooktops against a wall. What new innovations should consumers keep an eye out for? Connected kitchen appliances that add freedom to your lifestyle, such as the capability to preheat your oven remotely using your phone, and text you when your food is ready.

Connected kitchen appliances add freedom to your lifestyle.

EGGERSMANN USA

“

Ergonomics play a large role in the design of a high-end kitchen, and it is highly suggested that most cabinetry pull out or come toward you instead of looking out of reach.

Equal parts form and function, Eggersmann’s cabinetry delivers beautiful and useful organizational solutions to the modern home dweller. The company, drawing from more than 100 years of innovation, trial and achievement, is a driving force behind the concealed kitchen—a design movement that gives way to gallery-like spaces in the kitchen, and the cabinetry is art. Using earthborn, organic materials such as raw wood and concrete, Eggersmann’s ultra sleek and clean-lined cabinetry reimagines modernity in a warm and inviting fashion. “We start with the most intrinsically raw materials available, including woods, metals and glass,” shares Eggersmann USA CEO Michael Soltoff. “With these materials used in various textures, colors and sheens, we constantly push the limits of the basic core components.” The Eggersmann design foundation is built on key Bauhaus architectural characteristics—flat, smooth surfaces, cubic shapes, neutral colors and open floor plans (fundamentally pure and resounding in utility)—and is distinguished by technological feats in cabinetry composition and ergonomics, such as its electric mechanisms, custom storage, handle integration and exotic veneers. “The wide availability of parts, components, hardware and materials across the world has caused a demand and push for incredible leaps and bounds in innovation of product,” Soltoff says. “As electronic technology becomes more compact and lightweight, we see an increase in automation in our products, and it has become more of an integrated component of lifestyle, rather than just a cabinet or case good.”

1. Gray matte lacquer and veneer fineline grigio with silver moon quartzite worktop. 2. White and dark gray matte laminate and 11mm Silvertouch worktop with a custom finish WALL track system. 3. White matte laminate with oak rough-sawn and Corian worktop.

EGGERSMANN ESSENTIALS Tangible Intelligence: “Every kitchen requires functional storage space that not only is accessible, but is clever in function,” Soltoff says. “Examples include specialized pantry systems, specialty fitting dishwashers, inserts and utensil dividers.” Ubiquitous Materials, Reborn: Looking ahead, Eggersmann’s work will reveal innovative uses of organic materials, such as concretes and raw wood, as well as industrial finishes, such as stainless steel, copper, bronze and aluminum. Continuity Control: “It is important to have a specific style carried throughout the space,” Soltoff asserts. “Many kitchens are a part of and centered around the living space of the home. This doesn’t mean that the kitchen must match the style of furniture, interior trim and construction. Often, our kitchens are shown as a juxtaposition or unexpected center of the home.”

HUBBARDTON FORGE In the quest to discover fresh aesthetics and innovative designs in interior lighting, we turn to Hubbardton Forge for insight. One of the most respected brands in the lighting industry, Vermont-based Hubbardton Forge was founded upon the principles of authenticity and genuineness, giving way to handcrafted, art-worthy lighting. David Kitts, Hubbardton Forge’s Director of Design, reveals what’s in store for high-end light fixture design. “Industrial and steampunk styles are definitely on trend,” he says. “They intersect in interesting ways in their embrace of strong, imaginative design and application. Our Otto collection is a great example of that.” Kitts also notes the movement toward large statement pieces that are designed in a way where “the metal ‘glows’ through the use of LED light guide platforms and shaped elements.”

“

When beginning a project, remember your lighting is the first thing that guests will notice as they enter a room.

”

WORLD-CLASS EXPERTISE FROM HUBBARDTON FORGE Every well-designed kitchen should have: Layered lighting, such as multiple mini-pendants, a chandelier or wall sconces. Every well-designed bathroom should have: Color-accurate lighting. Materials + finishes of note: A new gloss-white finish; mixed metals; interesting glass elements used in surprising ways. LED driven: Hubbardton Forge has found ways to incorporate LED technology into the design, not just build LED fixtures. Advice for the homeowner: Think about the whole project; how one piece will interact with another. Don’t leave the lighting design for last.

1. The Louvre chose LED lighting for the Mona Lisa. The Glide LED bath bar offers a contemporary feel and is perfect for a large vanity space. 2. The brass and glass of the Otto sphere pendant combine to make a strong statement and focal point for the room. 3. The minimalistic Cuff pendant design, with its heavy steel cuff and thick blown glass captured within the cuff, works with a variety of styles.

PARIS CERAMICS

Q+A WITH RICHARD ABBOTT OF PARIS CERAMICS

Paris Ceramics blends time-honored materials and craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology to create rare products for floors, walls, ceilings, fireplaces and other objects of art. “We have a lot of new CAD machinery that enhances what you can do in terms of profiles patterns, etc.,” explains the firm’s manager Richard Abbott. “However, you still need to do finishing by hand to give the end result a bespoke quality.” Paris Ceramics has a special relationship with time, design and craftsmanship: No other company has invested in the technology and craftsmen to reclaim and preserve antique objects and flooring back to life. The juxtaposition of the world’s oldest objects preserved by the newest laser-cutting technology is the hallmark of Paris Ceramics. Only Paris Ceramics employs in-house artisans in the United States to ensure a near-flawless finish, size and product. As for new trends in the realm of flooring, Abbott cites traditional and new patterns, an increase in the use of various shades of blue and the rise of porcelain. “We try not to copy, but to be innovative,” Abbott says.

What is inspiring you now? New and traditional patterns and textures in stone and wood. How do you choose materials for each collection? We base selection on what we like, and it has to be timeless. Is it important to have a cohesive style throughout a kitchen or bathroom? Yes, but don’t forget the whimsical and fun. Describe the philosophy behind your firm. Paris Ceramics is the premier resource for timeless flooring material with soul.

1. Floor: hammered German silver. Shower: mother-of-pearl ceramic tile. Wall: breccia marble. 2. Antique Andalusian gray and white marble. 3. Floor: distressed French refined limestone. Wall: antique bottom-cut Bourgogne limestone.

Use materials that feel right to you, and you will love your space forever.

ZEPHYR VENTILATION

“

The range hood has become the centerpiece of the kitchen and often sets the tone for the kitchen design.

”

The kitchen has evolved from a utilitarian workspace to a familial gathering and entertaining central core of a home. The focal point of many of today’s most elegant and cutting-edge kitchens is the range hood, which was also born from a purely functional perspective. Zephyr Ventilation, based in Alameda, California, is changing this paradigm by blending high-caliber utility with high-quality aesthetics. “We have elevated the hood to its rightful place, with a focus on design, innovation and technology,” shares the company’s president Luke Siow. “Since the launch of our first hoods in 1997, we have remained true to our vision of delivering the unexpected: by deliberately seeking to change the marketplace.” The sophisticated hoods reveal remarkable technological feats within the kitchen, such as its DCBL Suppression System®, the industry’s first range hood motor powered by direct current (DC) energy (an evolutionary step from the traditional AC-powered range hood) and the newly unveiled Lucé with ICON Touch® controls, which integrate into the hood’s stainless steel canopy and control the hood’s LED lights in cloud white, deep blue and amber colors.

1. Lucé Island features industry-first, fully integrated touch controls, three-color accent lighting and a modern aesthetic. 2. Wave is a vertical-style hood with Dual Capture Zones to improve capture performance and ensure a well-ventilated kitchen. 3. Lux Island features an integrated design that discreetly mounts into the ceiling above the island cooktop. 1

Q+A WITH LUKE SIOW, PRESIDENT OF ZEPHYR VENTILATION What are the top style and material trends for 2016? We are seeing a trend toward mixed materials in kitchen ventilation that incorporate ceramic, mixed metallics and glass. Colored and LED lighting are also trends we are noticing in ventilation as well as other kitchen appliances. What new innovations should consumers keep an eye out for? The Wave hood features Dual Capture Zones that collect contaminates through two points to ensure a smokeand debris-free kitchen. Lux Island features an integrated design that discreetly mounts into the ceiling and Perimeter Aspiration, a technique that moves airflow away from the central area of the hood and evenly distributes it through narrow openings around the perimeter of the hood. Is it important to have a cohesive style throughout a kitchen? A kitchen can have a cohesive style while still communicating the homeowner’s personality and individuality. We’re seeing a lot more color, pattern and customized appliances in the kitchen that truly reflect the style of the homeowner.

FROM SOPHISTICATED STAYS TO ZEN-LIKE RETREATS, HOTELS AND RESORTS HAVE MASTERED THE ART OF MOOD-SETTING STYLE AND RISK-TAKING DESIGN IN THE KITCHEN AND BATH. WRITTEN BY MARISA SPYKER

186 / LUXESOURCE.COM

When it comes right down to it, designers often have one overarching mission: to make the home feel like a perpetual retreat. The two most-frequented rooms in the home are no exception. Baths often transform into visions of spa-like bliss and kitchens become clean, open-plan breaths of fresh air. So, when seeking aesthetic inspiration, it’s only natural to turn to the very experts of escapist style: the hospitality industry. From modernist urban highrises to secluded South American estancias, the world’s most beautiful hotels and resorts have mastered the art of maximizing views, inspiring relaxation and pushing the boundaries of great design (a room bathed almost entirely in sleek, glossy wood, for example). Here, we celebrate five-star style in all its glory, alongside products that make vacation-like living a breeze to adopt at home.

PHOTOS: COURTESY OVER YONDER CAY.

Were it not for the ocean views, one would think the Rococo-inspired kitchen and bath shown on these pages were straight out of an estate in Paris. Houston-based architect Mihai Angelescu and designer Rodica Mirea captured a look of timeless elegance when imagining this villa located on the private Bahamian island resort of Over Yonder Cay.

MANDARIN ORIENTAL BARCELONA, SPAIN

DESIGN FEATURES OF NOTE: Design maven Patricia Urquiola employed her own wall-mounted chrome fixtures from her collection for Axor in the Mandarin Oriental Barcelona’s Penthouse Suite bath. Glossy ceramic stools from Rosenthal mirror the smooth surfaces of the vanity top and tub. WHY WE LOVE IT: Leave it to Urquiola to strike just the right balance of serene and sophisticated. The metallic vanity and wall of beveled-edge mirrors infuse an element of glam in the space, while the light wooden floors and tub keep it feeling soft and warm. mandarinoriental.com

AMAN

DESIGN FEATURES OF NOTE: The brainchild of Singapore-based architect Kerry Hill, this spacious suite bathroom is composed almost entirely of traditional Japanese Kakou Gan granite, allowing the pièce de résistance—a deep Japanese furo soaking tub—to take center stage. WHY WE LOVE IT: High above the urban bustle, the bathroom’s monochromatic gray stone décor evokes an air of simplicity that’s symbolic of Japanese culture. The space also allows the spectacular views of Tokyo and, on clear days, Mt. Fuji, to shine through floor-to-ceiling windows. aman.com

ESTANCIA VIK

JOSE IGNACIO, URUGUAY DESIGN FEATURES OF NOTE: When renowned Norwegian art collectors and hoteliers Alex and Carrie Vik sought to create a 12-suite luxury boutique hotel in the middle of Uruguayan farmland, their mission was to make as little of an environmental impact as possible (think solar panels, wind and geothermal energy, a water-recycling system). The bath in the artist-designed master suite is no exception: The entire room, including the walls, door, sink and tub, is enveloped in richly veined wood locally sourced from jacaranda trees. WHY WE LOVE IT: The dark wood-clad bath pays homage to the retreat’s sprawling 4,000 acres of countryside, but sleek details like the sculptural lines of the tub, minimalist steel fixtures and recessed lighting give the space a decidedly modern feel. vikretreats.com 188 / LUXESOURCE.COM

JEFFREY WILKES Resort whisperer Jeffrey Wilkes is the creative mind behind some of the most Zen-inspiring retreats in South Asia and beyond. At the Ritz-Carlton Mandapa in Ubud, Bali, he channels the lush outdoors with rustic materials and a natural palette. designwilkes.com 190 / LUXESOURCE.COM

What was your design inspiration for this space? When we created the bathrooms for the rooms and suites at Mandapa, it was our desire to have them act as extensions of the rooms. It’s a resort, and the experience of the bath, and the relaxation one feels from the experience, is paramount. It was important to create a space where someone would take the time to linger and enjoy a soak in the tub while looking out at the view.

Tell us about the mélange of materials. Touch is always a very important aspect of a room, along with the visual component. Here, patterned fretwork, weathered timbers and leather-finished marble stone all work in combination to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Woven ceiling panels are reminiscent of local Alang-alang (thatched) roofs. We also commissioned vanity sinks carved from teak wood with small decorative patterns around them.

How is the natural environment reflected? The earthy palette of chocolate brown, gold and bronze that we introduced to these spaces is taken in large part from the landscape and rivers that surround the property. We hung a pair of round mirrors over the vanity and flanked them with uneven water drop glass lights. It helps create the illusion that you’ve just set up camp in the forest, like you’re part of the evolving landscape.

Naturally, the line comes in a coordinated package of chic, modern bottles, but the real surprise is the Moooidistillated fragrance: a unique blend of scents that include bergamot, nutmeg, lavender, tobacco and musk that’s dubbed “The Unexpected Welcome.” luxuryhotelcosmetics.com

Perhaps only second in line to what constitutes a really great hotel room (behind, of course, a drool-worthy bed) are insanely comfortable bath towels. Those of the Turkish variety are often considered the crème de la crème thanks to premium cotton fibers that are known for quick-drying qualities and an uncanny ability to become even softer after washing. Serena & Lily’s color-blocked and striped take here—a pretty favorite that brings to mind leisurely days on the beach—stays true to Turkish form with smooth cotton on one side and looped terry on the other for added wicking. serenaandlily.com

WHITE OUT It’s a tall order to make a place once the stomping grounds of Frank Sinatra and Winston Churchill even more fabulous than it was before. In his reimagining of the historic Surf Club Hotel and Residences in Miami, though, architect Richard Meier does just that, thanks in part to the project’s high-style kitchens with their custom Boffi cabinetry and white marble islands that give the spaces a feeling as fresh as salt air. thesurfclub.com

HAUTE

Part of the luxury of a hotel room snooze is what happens when it’s over—that next morning when you wake up to breakfast being rolled in on a room-service cart. In addition to fresh fruit and pain au chocolat, a resort-worthy meal typically includes a steaming beaker of French press coffee. This vessel from Bodum features a decorative copper frame, which protects the glass container and adds a splash of eye candy to your kitchen countertop. bodum.com

When artists parlay their talents into new creative outlets, the results are often fascinating. So, when English painter Rebecca Thompson tried her hand at decorating a series of boutique villas on the island of Grenada, it’s no surprise the final product was beautiful. Here, vaulted lightwood ceilings and white wicker barstools add an effortlessly bohemian vibe, while stainlesssteel European appliances and modern light fi xtures keep the shabby-chic factor at bay.

THE CHALLENGE: Transform the sprawling floor plan of a Miami Beach luxury dwelling into a sophisticated beach escape with plenty of private and public spaces for dining and conversation—and common threads that pull them all together. “We wanted to create an urban yet light and airy space that speaks of nature and the spectacular views,” says interior designer Deborah Wecselman. THE WORK: To achieve that look and maximize the panoramas, Wecselman kept the design subtle with a mostly white palette. The family area beckons with a tufted ottoman custom-made by Le Jeune

Upholstery, and a custom game table and set of chairs. The table speaks to the homeowners’, and designer’s, penchant for wood. “Walnut millwork and cabinetry provide extra storage throughout the apartment, and European natural oak planks run underfoot,” Wecselman says. An Edelman Leather cowhide rug covers the oak planks installed by All American Floors. THE RESULT: Ultimately, Wecselman’s goal was a strong sense of timeless design. The interior feels earthy yet refined, and flows as one unified space that embraces a family-friendly, beach-inspired style. “After all, she says, “this is a vacation home.”

THE CHALLENGE: Take the familiar, hit the refresh button, and mix it up with modern pieces that allow everything to breathe in an essentially open plan. The owners of this riverfront residence sought simplicity, as well as a clean canvas to cater to their treasured collection of art and antiques. “They wanted a style that was minimal yet traditional at the same time,” says architect Peter D. Moor. THE WORK: The designers— Ashley Olivia Waddell and her sister, Courtney O’Bryan Whatley—fashioned interiors with materials that are honest and furnishings that spell comfort. As for the rooms’ compositions, the luxury of multiple views inspired an outside-in conversation. “The wife’s dream house needed to have windows everywhere,”

says Whatley. “The river is the main event, so furnishings are not overpowering.” THE RESULT: The design concept is fluid, such as in the dining area, where a gallery wall offers ample space to showcase treasured artworks, but leaves room to add more in the future. Here, the owners’ table was refinished by Steph’s Woodworking in Benjamin Moore’s Sea Haze and anchors Eames side chairs from Design Within Reach and Oly host chairs. A Grand Lotus chandelier by Currey & Company adds a touch of glamour to the foyer beyond, whose Kolbe windows allow in natural light. “The design isn’t stuffy; it’s inviting,” says Whatley. “Your home is your sanctuary. You want it to be peaceful and light.”

THE CHALLENGE: Turn a Mediterranean-style home into a modern design haven for clients with two children and a penchant for Pop art and street art that evokes a fun and engaging art gallery. “The challenge was to modernize the house, to change the aesthetic to something more clean-lined,” says residential designer and longtime friend Martin Litman. “But their art collection was thought about from the beginning, too.” THE WORK: Inside and out, the renovation is a transformation that fuses a gallery-inspired foundation of pristine white walls and warm concrete floors with colorful whimsy emanating from the artwork and furnishings. The clean

lines and colorful accents of the dining room personify the union of minimalism and modern with a high-backed chair by Diva Rocker Glam in West Hollywood, California, cheerful Jonathan Adler pillows, COR seating from HausScape and playful art by Alec Monopoly, found through Avant Gallery. A Brand van Egmond chandelier and vintage Waterford and Tiffany & Co. decanters further the whimsical feel of the space. THE RESULT: “We just wanted sophisticated, plain and smart,” homeowner Lainie Ginsburg says. “Everything has a function. Nothing gets wasted here, and yet it’s designed to be inviting. It just makes you smile.”

WINDOWS ON THE WORLD It’s true that inspiration can strike anywhere— but it doesn’t hurt to take your creative muse on a trip every once in a while. From Mexico and England to Scandinavia and beyond, the colors and flavors of far-flung locales can be as intoxicating at home as they are in their respective parts of the world (think bold Yucatán tiles on a patio in Southern California or a beautifully patinaed Swedish grandfather clock holding court in a farmhouse in Texas). Here, we tapped some of our favorite interiors experts for an insider’s look at the best international destinations for design lovers.

mission: WANDERLUST Designer Laura Kirar performs her own southern migration multiple times each year: The New York-based interiors maven and product designer owns a home in Mérida, Mexico, and finds herself endlessly enthralled with the historical city’s exciting arts scene and thriving community of craftsmen. Read below, as she fashions what her pitch-perfect itinerary looks like for a fun-filled day in the Yucatán. laurakirar.com 9 a.m. I always try to start the day with yoga and a swim at home. I’m still in the process of restoring my 18th-century hacienda, so I love to spend as much time there as possible. 10 a.m. Next up is breakfast: There are always tortillas made by hand, fresh-squeezed mango juice, huevos revueltos and avocados picked from the tree in my own yard.

11 a.m. There really isn’t a “shopping district” in Mérida, but the Mercado Principal in the center of town has a little bit of everything—from food to shoes to vintage jewelry. There’s also great shopping around the Parque de Santiago in Centro, where you can find contemporary, artisan-made sandals, hats and accessories at places like Kukul. 1 p.m. The lunch at Hacienda Temozon is fantastic; I always order the guacamole con chapulines, sopa de limon, carnitas and a tequila with sangrita. If it’s Sunday, we go to brunch at Hacienda Ochil. The hacienda is picturesque and also has its own James Turrell installation. 3 p.m. Next, I make my rounds: I visit FonArt shop for the best in embroidery, pottery, and table and bed linens, Coqui Coqui for natural mosquito repellent and room scents, and the Alfaro Galeria de Arte y Antigüedades in the Centro; though, the term “antiques” should be taken lightly—it has a really eclectic collection. 5 p.m. Then, it’s another late afternoon dip in one of the many surrounding cenotes, pools that form naturally when a limestone bedrock collapses. I love the Cenote Kankirixche; it’s breathtakingly beautiful.

Counterclockwise from top: Designer Laura Kirar wandering through her favorite outdoor market, taking a dip in the Cenote Kankirixche, and starting the night with friends and La Negrita’s famous mescal.

6 p.m. Time for a siesta at home followed by early drinks at La Negrita, where you’ll find the best taquitos and mescal around.

2LOCAL flavor David Serrano, one half of the creative duo behind celebrated Los Angeles shop Downtown, spills on what he loves most about his home away from home in Mexico:

“The quality of light in Mérida inspired me to start painting again. They sometimes call it the ‘White City,’ but its skies are very blue. And, while it doesn’t have mountains, the clouds are so white and full that they almost feel like unscalable peaks in their own right. It’s a big, big world, but I’m treating this little corner of it as my very own cabinet of curiosities.” downtown20.net

This year’s first-annual Caravana Americana, which took place in March, made a big splash in Mexico City thanks to its stunning array of art, fashion and housewares from all across Latin America. From the creative minds of Regina Barrios and Alessandro Cerutti, the pair behind the cult-favorite boutique Lago DF, Caravana Americana seeks to pair Mexican makers—like 1050 Grados, Ricardo Casas and CyTF, whose handsome marquetry work is shown here— with international buyers for a weekend of contemporary design bliss that we can’t wait to mark and set on our calendars for next year. caravanaamericana.com

The former executive director of one of the newest additions to the Yucatán arts scene, Fundación de Artistas, Indira Londono (right) reflects on the region’s growing creative community and gives collectors the inside scoop on where to go and who to watch when building their portfolios. fundaciondeartistas.org

Top Mexican artists to watch: Mérida has many talented local artists, but I’m mostly interested in artists who redefine the idea of art and utilize it as a vector to create a dialogue about relevant social issues. Some of my favorites are Alexa Torre, Marcela Diaz, Stefania Rivadeneyra, Karla Madera and Uggo Gonzalez.

What makes Mexican art different? It’s difficult to categorize and compare artwork from Mexico versus the U.S. because there are many factors that influence artists even within regions of the same country—for example, the art in the Yucatán will be very different than in areas like Oaxaca and Mexico City. Here, art specifically draws influences from many factors such as its region’s Mayan ancestry, Spanish occupation and the Caribbean climate.

Must-visit art fairs or festivals for American collectors: My favorites are Noche Blanca—an event sponsored by the city of Mérida in conjunction with artists, galleries, museums and public spaces for a finely curated tour of what the community here has to offer—and the National Biennial of Visual Arts of Yucatán—which features a wide range of Mexican art, including paintings, sculptures, photography, video-art and installations.

FIRST PERSON

MARTYN LAWRENCE BULLARD London to me is not only my original home and teenage stomping ground, it is a main artery for my decorative inspirations and design shopping. These days, I like to start my trip by booking into one of the splendid new design hotels that have sprung up across the country. My current hot spot is the super luxurious Beaumont hotel in London’s W1; it makes you feel like you’re in The Great Gatsby, but you’re not, you’re on a shopping trip with me; so, here’s what comes next: 8:30 a.m. There’s no better place to start your day than in The Colony Grill Room at Selfridges with a full English breakfast and lashings of Earl Grey tea all silver-served with the finest attention to detail. 10 a.m. Head over to Alfies Antique Market with dealers that sell everything from vintage-leather and vellum travel trunks (ask for Leslie Warander at The Tintin Shop to show you his secret stash hidden upstairs) to 1970s and ’80s Italian furniture and lighting. 11:30 a.m. From there, go to King’s Road in Chelsea. With luck, you’ll get to catch a viewing of the latest sale at Lots Road Auctions, a veritable bargainhunters local auction held weekly. My favorite antiques store in London, Guinevere, is just around the corner and is a real treat for the eyes.

12:30 p.m. After antiquing, a spot of lunch is required. I head to the Wolseley—by Piccadilly Circus—a European restaurant designed by my friend, the late and great David Collins. It’s highly stylized with black-and-white marble floors, bronze chandeliers and chinoiserie-lacquered panels. 2 p.m. A little après stroll down Piccadilly will bring you to Fortnum & Mason, the luxury food and lifestyle store that happens to make my very favorite tea, Imperial Earl Grey. After stocking up on that, I head to Jermyn Street to visit my tailor: Ozwald Boateng makes the most fun suiting. 3 p.m. No day in London is complete without art. The S2 Gallery, run by Fru Tholstrup, belongs to Sotheby’s and houses exhibits by rising art stars like Charming Baker, along with group shows, like the recent exhibit curated by Tommy Hilfiger and Jeffrey Deitch. As a photo enthusiast, I also head over to the Hamilton Gallery in Mayfair. 5 p.m. London is known for its quality upholstery and fabric houses, but for me, visiting the tiny trim shop VV Rouleaux is a necessity. This jewelbox store offers amazing trims, tassels, beads, feathers and other theatrical decorating tools. 7 p.m. The perfect day in London ends with my favorite eatery, The Ivy. Favored by London’s theater crowd, its recently remodeled interiors are cozy and glamorous. martynlawrencebullard.com

LONDON calling While Michael S. Smith has become a bit of a symbol of Americana— having been tapped by the Obama administration to reimagine the White House’s residential spaces during the First Family’s time in Washington, D.C.—the LA-based interior designer actually built much of his influential aesthetic from his time overseas in London, where he studied at the beloved Victoria and Albert Museum and fostered a lifelong love of antiques. Find out why his London calling is as loud as ever. michaelsmithinc.com What do you love most about British design? English homes, especially the wonderful country houses, have a very identifiable voice; they’re about putting various things together in a way that’s both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Since the country has a longer history than the U.S., people have been acquiring furniture and passing it down in the family for much longer, and the result is both a lack of fussiness and a

Known for his wild color palettes and playful style, Jonathan Adler doesn’t mind buttoning it up every once in a while with a dose of classic British design. Here are his top-five spots to visit in London. jonathanadler.com 1. My shops! I have one on Sloane Avenue and one on Westbourne Grove. They’re great fun (as evidenced by Adler’s Zebra British flag rug shown at right), and I’d love them even if they weren’t mine. 2. Liberty of London is a must. The building is sublime, with the most gorgeous Gothic architecture and patina. 3. It’s not a trip without a visit to Harrods. You can get literally anything there. 4. I love Alfie’s Antique Market—a —a building full of little shops and surrounding streets with shops. It’s packed with heavenly finds. I spend almost an entire day there whenever I’m in London. 5. The Conran Shop is another favorite. I love going to the flagship location in Chelsea. They always have something new and outside the box.

practicality when it comes to design. It sees very formal and important pieces feeling at home with more approachable and humanistic things: a mastery of the mix. Favorite British designers past and present: The classic example, of course, is the design firm of Colefax and Fowler; their work has been a not-so-secret source of inspiration in a lot of really good English houses. Beyond them, I love the modernity and color of the legendary David Hicks and the historical elegance of Robert Kime. Is there a historic English house you’d particularly love to design? I’d be truly thrilled to outfit places like Haddon Hall or Chiswick House—estates that have really beautiful architecture and are just extraordinary with a kind of eccentric appeal. There’s something challenging and exciting about creating personality in a home that already has so much of its own.

Los Angeles-based interiors and product designer Jill Sorensen may have left her Swedish upbringing behind in terms of miles traveled, but she continues to embrace the country’s sophistication and simplicity in her fun and quirky home projects all over the U.S. Here, she sits down with Luxe to give us a Swedish design history lesson. jillsorensen.com Favorite Swedish designers past and present: I’m a fan of King Gustav III. He was a Swedish king in the late 1700s who was obsessed with design, and during his reign, he created the style of furniture that’s the most famous in the country today: Gustavian. I also love Josef Frank, who designed the amazing Swedish Tenn fabrics that are like pieces of art. What do you love most about Swedish design? I love all things Gustavian, which is

basically a simplified country version of Louis XVI style: the distressed furniture, whitepainted floors, etc. Because of the lack of sunlight (only four hours or so a day in the winter time), Swedes are experts at adding brightness to their interiors with pastel walls and white interiors. Best shops to visit in Stockholm: You’ll find the most incredible fabrics imaginable at the beautiful Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm; it was originally founded in 1924, and it never fails to impress. I’m also always surprised at the things I find at Bukowskis auction house. It has incredible antiques up for grabs and is surprisingly affordable. Otherwise, blocket.se is also one of my favorite little secrets: It’s a resale site that is very popular in Sweden. You can find amazing things for next to nothing in your local area!

Swedish native-turned-New York and Palm Beach mainstay, Lars Bolander shares what keeps him going back to his homeland year after year: “What I love most about Sweden and Swedish design is its simplicity. The country’s sense of beauty is so uncomplicated: It’s all very pale with lots of neutral colors, grays and whites, and dove blue. I have a vacation home in a small village there with great history: As little as 50 years ago, the town telephonist lived downstairs. There was still just one phone in the whole village, and she would have to ring bells attached to people’s homes with string to alert them to a call!” larsbolander.com

postscript

AUSTRIA

We were invited to speak at the Monocle Quality of Life conference and took the chance to go to a place we’d been dreaming and planning on going to anyway. And we weren’t disappointed thanks to the classic buildings, wonderful design heritage, and great things going on culturally and entrepreneurially. Augarten Porcelain Factory Wow! This factory (above) is such a far cry from ours in California. We love that the owners of the company appreciated their staff so much that they created this beautiful place for them to work. We think the same way: that great work comes from great work environments. We just have a different style!

▲ LISBON,

PORTUGAL

Part of researching tile for the promotion of our latest book, Tile Makes the Room: Good Design from Heath Ceramics, this trip grew out of our fascination with places like Portugal, with cities and regions with layers of history that’s been preserved and respected. National Tile Museum There’s such a rich heritage of handcrafted tile in this country that they opened a museum dedicated to it (above) and set it in a former convent that dates back to 1509. The reverence for tile, a material that we so often overlook, filled us with awe. Palácio Ramalhete This hotel (shown at right) was an oasis of calm. There was gorgeous tile wainscoting everywhere, which was our favorite touch. We love hotels like this: intimate places (this one only has 12 rooms) with deep history.

SWEDEN

Tage Andersen’s home (above), far from any major town, is an amazing work of art—and a working farm. The villa and gardens were created by Andersen, himself, a maverick florist and artist. It was designed almost as an art installation, but, again, with a farm, so it’s pleasing aesthetically but not at all precious. These trees were something that Andersen must have envisioned as many as 20 years ago; it’s taken that long to become what they are. heathceramics.com

century-old landmark was restored to its former glory for the Junior League of Miami Showhouse 2016, a fundraiser for the Junior Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs supporting local women and children at risk.

The Kampong was formerly the home and personal garden of Dr. David Fairchild, a famed plant explorer, and his wife Marian, the daughter of Alexander Graham Bell. They purchased the property in 1916 and named it after the Javanese word for village. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Kampong is one of only five National Tropical Botanical Gardens, and more than 2,000 plants fill its nine acres. Celebrated interior designers and artists transformed rooms in three buildings: the Fairchild-Sweeney House, the Barbour Cottage and the Sausage Tree Cottage, as well as two garden areas, capturing the classic beauty of Miami while paying homage to the historic location.

LIVING ROOM

HILLARY LITTLEJOHN SCURTIS INTERIOR DESIGN IN COLLABORATION WITH MONICA JAMES LIVING ROOM: “I wanted the living room to honor the garden and yet represent the formal entertaining for which both the Fairchild and Sweeney families were renowned,” Hillary Littlejohn Scurtis says. “When thinking of my dream team to transform this room, Monica James came to mind first because of her very discerning eye and her dynamic collection of bespoke furnishings, lighting and accessories at her namesake store. Monica and I consulted on everything from the wallpaper, which is Coffering by Paulo Werneck, printed by Studio Printworks, to the length of the sofas by George Smith to the weave of the rugs, made for this project by Elizabeth Eakins. All of the furniture was either ordered for the room by Monica or was tapped from her treasure of inventory at her store and warehouse. Dennis Shah from Studio Printworks printed the paper custom so it would be scaled to the tray ceiling. Karen Boyer from Elements in Play Fine Art Advisory curated all the art— specifically the Peter Peri, Elisabeth Condon and Fredric Snitzer—which gave the room context and anchored the large walls.” Sources: Monica James; Foglizzo Leather; Elizabeth Eakins; Studio Printworks; Karen Boyer – Elements in Play Fine Art Advisory.

A reflection of the couple’s extensive travels and their deep interest in art and history, they utilized their extensive collection in the design of the foyer. Respecting the existing Asian theme, Sorne said they “treated the space much like a musical overture with references that would hint at the rooms to come.” Sources: Bonnin Ashley Antiques; Robert Allen; Elizabeth Eakins; Kreative Gardens.

Julie’s vision for composing landscapes of beauty and meaning is furthering the evolution of design and changing how people create and enjoy their outdoor surroundings. Julie shared that “we always try to see the world as a garden, so it’s fun to show that even a utilitarian space like a carport can become a place of beauty and meaning. With its striking red latticework and high ceiling, the carport acts as an important connector between The Kampong’s interior and exterior spaces and as a gateway element in the outdoors.”

PERFORMANCE & PERSONALITY… CASTELLE® AND THE GALLERY INTERIORS PAIR UP FOR THE JUNIOR LEAGUE OF MIAMI SHOWHOUSE 2016 For the Junior League of Miami Showhouse 2016, situated within The Kampong National Tropical Botanical Garden, designers and co-owners Kim Hernandez and Lois Holbrook Russo of The Gallery Interiors created an outdoor design that included luxury Castelle casual furnishings. The artisan craftsmanship of Castelle furnishings was a perfect complement to the history and craftsmanship of The Kampong. The Trento collection was selected due to its clean lines and the designers’ desire to successfully blend transitional furnishings in a traditional space. “It was easy for our plan to come together with the Trento furnishings,” Hernandez says. “We like using Castelle because we can customize pieces with fabrics and finishes.” Design leadership and award-winning elements set Castelle collections apart from other casual furnishings. Creating outdoor living spaces is a major component of The Gallery Interiors’ business, and the highly customizable versatility of Castelle’s designs make it a perfect partner. “We specialize in personalizing outdoor designs,” Holbrook Russo says. “With Castelle, we can turn an outdoor design into a different conversation altogether by incorporating features fitting each homeowner’s individual design style.” Performance quality features of Castelle outdoor furnishings, from durable cast aluminum to multistage powder-coated finishing to luxurious comfort, can deliver lasting outdoor enjoyment and make any backyard into a designer showplace.

The finest casual furniture in the world.

s an artist transforms a blank canvas into a feast for the eyes, Los Angeles designer John De Bastiani turned a big white box of an apartment into a visually stunning piedà-terre in Key Biscayne. When conceiving his opus, he decided to take the interiors in a somewhat more modern direction than what the owner was used to, envisioning an aesthetic that would speak to its coastal setting. “I thought, ‘It’s in Miami; it shouldn’t be traditional,’ ” he explains. “But my version of modern is very organic, not super-sleek. It’s more about shapes and silhouettes of furniture. It’s modern, yes, but with more traditional fabrics to bring it back to the middle a bit.” The selection of two large Jean de Merry chairs for the living room set the palette of the interior space. Spotting them in the showroom in distressed brown leather, De Bastiani customized them in a different direction, upholstering them in a highly patterned blueand-green fabric and whitewashing the bases. “They became a whole different thing,” he says with delight. “They fit the scale of the room, which was massive, and helped establish a connection with the ocean by bringing the feeling of water into it.” From there, the room evolved into what De Bastiani describes as “a little bit of a retro Florida look, but done in a sedate, contemporary way.” A pair of X-base chairs with a nautical feel join pieces De Bastiani designed himself, including a sinuous white coffee table and a white sofa with a bleached-out base that instills a coastal vibe reminiscent of the Hamptons.

Massimo Vitali, one of the significant art pieces curated specially for the project, anchors itself above the sofa. Open to the living room, the main dining area was given another, yet companionable, treatment. De Bastiani installed a pedestal dining table with a glass top in the shape of a surfboard and offset it with smart, geometrically patterned pieces, including a trio of artwork against the paneled wall and a Moroccan carpet underfoot. “It’s important when you’re dealing with something all white and simple to get something that adds sort of a textural feel,” he shares. For the casual den—intended for kicking back and relaxing or watching movies with friends—De Bastiani specified a dark blue custom sofa, a modern rendition of a wing chair and a pair of midcentury club chairs and arranged them around a striking white cowhide ottoman/ coffee table. “So many people have to have every piece in the house feel like it’s something unique and different,” he says. “But when some pieces take center stage and others become part of the backdrop, it makes those standout pieces even more interesting.” Like the living room, the master bedroom features a straight-on view of the ocean via floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, and De Bastiani wanted it to connect experientially, as well. “I gave it more of a ‘Miami’ feel, with a reeded four-poster bed that I designed and a soft mohair Afghan rug with a subtle pattern that picks up the pretty coral color of two swivel chairs,” he describes. The overall result is a far cry from the empty shell first presented to De Bastiani—think concrete floors, zero moldings, sparse finishes, a basic kitchen and simple baths. “The idea was that people could bring in their own designers and visions,” he recalls. And so, working with little more than a request from the owner for hardwood floors and minimal construction, De Bastiani went about incorporating subtle yet effective changes to the interior prior to weaving in his furnishings program. “We built it out a bit by dropping the ceilings throughout to add lighting,” he says. “We added moldings, baseboards and automatic shades and put wood paneling in the living and dining rooms.” The work was facilitated by builder William Krekeler, who got things done in an efficient and timely manner. “He was fantastic,” says De Bastiani. “I could really count on him since I wasn’t in Miami all the time.” Reflecting on the ultimate outcome of the project and the unique personality it took on, De Bastiani touches on his creative process. “When you add traditional elements into a more modern space, make it more organic and tactile, and mix in all kinds of wonderful contemporary art, it creates a whole different look,” he says. “It was exciting to see how beautiful it turned out. There is a real balance here.”

Many of the home’s furnishings were conceived and fabricated by designer John De Bastiani and his firm, including the Coco bench in the apartment’s elevator vestibule that doubles as storage for beach shoes. A hanging light fixture by Paul Ferrante lends a touch of whimsy to the space; it’s joined by a vintage rug from Jamal’s Rug Collection in Los Angeles and a painted grasscloth wallcovering by Holland & Sherry. The artwork is by Sol LeWitt.

Back & Forth A NEW MIAMI HOME NODS TO A GENTEEL OLD FLORIDA, WHILE MODERN TOUCHES PLACE IT FIRMLY IN THE PRESENT DAY.

The custom-painted entry doors from Ultimate Door are visible only from the home’s inner courtyard. The checkerboard limestone and Thassos marble tile from Ocean Across, installed by Genesis Marble & Tile, lead through the foyer to the loggia and pool. The outdoor sconces are from ELK Lighting Creativity in Nesquehoning, Pennsylvania.

odern homes, with their straight lines and hard angles, can easily become too austere for a young family seeking casual comfort. Such was the paradox designer Maggie Cruz addressed when her clients asked her to infuse a new house they were building with the vintage vibes of an old-Florida plantation home. “It’s a very grand house,” Cruz says, “yet the wife wanted to make sure it felt cozy and charming but at the same time modern. She really wanted it to feel like a Florida home— authentic and appropriate.” Cruz worked with frequent collaborators—residential designer Scott Tao and builder Mark H. Candela—to combine soothing colors and rich wood tones within a

crisp shell of black and white to achieve that goal. “We definitely felt like the house needed to be grounded in natural textures,” she says. Tao shared the same mission with regard to how the home would be built. For example, a small coral-stone house sat on the property when the owners purchased it. It had been neglected for too long to save, but it inspired the team as the new residence took shape. “Bringing some of that old-Florida vernacular was something they wanted to do as an homage to that old house,” says Tao, who partnered with associate architect Jose Perdomo on the project. The mix of old and new starts with the weathered brick driveway that leads through a smooth stucco façade into a private courtyard. Only then does the house reveal itself

Designer Maggie Cruz had the foyer paneled in shiplap siding, which lends a casual note to the formal checkerboard-tile floor pattern. The carved cabinet by Noir adds warmth to the cool space. The white marble lamp is from Urban Loft; a mirror from the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; collection lends a reflective surface.

Cruz designed built-in bookshelves to anchor the living room; they were fabricated by Paez Design. The natural-oak backing of the shelves complements the white-oak Aspen Hill flooring from The Carpet Boutique, while the white shade in the trim continues from the walls and furnishings, which include a metal-frame wing chair by Noir. The bell-jar pendant in the distant foyer is by Visual Comfort & Co.

through a set of glass-paned blue doors that open into a foyer lined with checkerboard tile and shiplap-paneled walls. “They wanted a colored door that sets the stage, that says you’re about to go into a cool house,” Cruz says. The first-floor architecture bears modern hallmarks of voluminous angular spaces with oversize windows, but Tao says its L-shaped layout enhances the classic plantation design, where French doors in nearly every public room and bedroom open to a porch, veranda or balcony. “It brings back the lure of living in a tropical climate,” Cruz says. She used knotty, whitewashed oak on the floors as a contrast to the sleek white walls—“a huge way of giving it some warmth,” she explains. Cruz also designed a wall of built-in shelving to create a library space in the multipurpose living room off the foyer. The natural-oak backing of the shelves, encased in white-painted wood, provide a handsome frame for the family’s collection of old encyclopedias. A pair of eggplant tufted armchairs adds a

The living room was designed to be a library, music room and entertaining space all in one. The armchairs and sofas are by Verellen from Michael Dawkins Home; the Roark chandelier is by Ralph Lauren Home for Visual Comfort & Co.; and the coffee table is by Noir.

note of elegance to the otherwise neutral setting. “It’s a nice place to introduce color but in a sophisticated way,” she says, a hint of formality that works well when the family entertains. The wife, who is Colombian, displays her mother’s sculpture on the living room shelves. But although her South American heritage speaks through the art, the culture’s tendency to separate kitchens from social areas doesn’t hold true here. “The kitchen is the heart of the house,” Tao says. Two sides open to an expansive outdoor terrace and loggia that frame a large pool, and there’s no formal dining room. Given the importance of the kitchen, Cruz faithfully combined old and new elements on every surface: Modern cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances contrast with a brick backsplash; a custom cabinet and hutch blends rustic old-world painted cement tile with smooth marble; and a glass-and-metal globe light hangs over woven French bistro chairs that surround a black farm table. The design team gave just as much thought to the outdoor spaces, from the pool that can be seen from most of the interiors thanks to the L-shaped architecture, to the simple, elegant garden of clusia plants, pigeon plums and lady palms by landscape designer AJ Morales, to the inviting alfresco living area: the husband requested a large outdoor seating, dining and entertainment area to be as well-appointed as the interiors. Cruz responded with large-scale contemporary furnishings set within the columned loggia, and she rewired indoor pendant lighting to hang alongside the colonnade. “You can see them from the inside,” Cruz said. “I really wanted to make sure they flowed well and were pieces that were noticeable.”

The large covered terrace was designed to be an extension of the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior. A parade of columns along the terrace and loggia delineate the outdoor living space, which is just steps above the pool. The terrace and loggia are paved in Dominican coral stone from Florida Silica Sand Company. The pool, built by Tuttleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pool Company, was designed to be situated between two existing royal palm trees. All furnishings are by RH.

The master bedroom is swathed in soothing neutrals, such as the natural-linen bed by Bernhardt, from Urban Loft, and custom linen draperies. Custom pillows using blue-and-white fabric by Schumacher lend a splash of color. Cruz selected an RH chandelier made from wood beads rather than crystal to keep the casual feel. The white waxed-oak bedside tables are by Noir; ceramic lamps from Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Armoire perch atop them. The art above the bed is also from Urban Loft.

Upstairs, the master suite balcony sits atop the loggia, with 180-degree views from the street to the pool. A wellused rec room on the other side of the property offers front-porch viewing from a wide balcony that connects it to the main house—a detail that evolved from the owners’ request for a larger garage. “I said, ‘Let’s take advantage of that, reinforce the foundation and create a second-floor volume,’ ” recalls Candela, who helmed the build with supervisor Steve Tofolli. The new bridge between the two buildings not only creates another outdoor room, but it also forms a striking porte cochere that frames an entry into the courtyard below. “You can see everything right from that bridge,” he says. Cruz notes that in a neighborhood filled with “big, new houses,” this one is successfully grounded within its leafy plantation-like surroundings. “The house really makes them feel like they are living in a slower and more family-oriented time,” he says.

The wife wanted to make a statement in the master bath, so Cruz obliged with Vena Grigio marble from Ocean Across, which she had laid in a herringbone pattern that covers the entire shower wall; it was installed by Genesis Marble & Tile. The round acrylic tub is from Signature Hardware.

BRINGING TOGETHER INTERNATIONAL CREATIVES AND THEIR MUSEUM-QUALITY PIECES IS NO SIMPLE TASK, BUT FRANCISCO POLO HAS IT DOWN TO A SCIENCE. WRITTEN BY YELENA MOROZ ALPERT PHOTOGRAPHY BY SONYA REVELL

Gallery owner Francisco Polo has traveled the globe and most recently settled in Miami, where his exhibition space, Aybar Gallery, brings international designers to the forefront. Shown here are broader groupings of pieces from the Hilo and Botanica collections.

hile most people are just getting out of bed, Francisco Polo is already at the beach before heading to his exhibition space, Aybar Gallery in Miami’s Little River neighborhood. “There aren’t many things that relax me as much as the ocean,” says the design curator, who spent the last five years shuffling between Singapore and Bangkok and moved to South Florida for an opportunity to grow his business in a cultural hot spot—the healthy dose of peace and tranquility was a welcome bonus. Offering that same sense of serenity, walking into Polo’s unapologetically minimalistic design gallery is a bit like hitting pause on everything else. It’s almost as if the carefully curated works are suspended in time and space—a twilight zone for design, of sorts. Here, Polo focuses on acquiring limited-edition furniture pieces, objects and carpets, as well as creating unique collaborations with designers. Often, the projects come serendipitously: Israeli designer Talia Mukmel, for instance, reached out to Polo first; he was intrigued by her work with organic plastics and commissioned a collection of contemporary vessels. On the other hand, in preparation for Art Basel Miami Beach later this year, the curator realized that he needed to be proactive about acquiring a statement piece for the wall of his gallery. So, he approached Madrid-based creative Marre Moerel to commission a custom carpet (her acclaimed Food on the Table series, too, will be featured at the gallery from July 1 to September 1, including new pieces exclusively designed for Aybar Gallery). “Collaborating directly with designers is so satisfying,” Polo says, pointing to another successful alliance with Guilherme Wentz, selected this year as one of the Rising Talents by Maison & Objet Americas. “I love to see how their minds work. All the focus goes to the final product and how it would impact the customer.” In contrast to his calming morning routines, Polo is attracted to the fast and alive quality of creativity, and he doesn’t want to miss a beat. He’s fascinated by how designers such as Konstantin Grcic, Richard Hutten and Pieke Bergmans are solidifying their presence by utilizing organic materials, polymers and LUXESOURCE.COM / 265

Polo (shown right) is constantly thinking up ways to celebrate design, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collaborating with other creatives, showcasing limited-edition pieces in his gallery, or realizing interior architectural projects all over the world.

resins to create a whole new market. In this vein, for Aybar Gallery’s wildly successful first exhibition, Polo highlighted Formafantasma’s plant-inspired vessels made from shellac—part of the permanent collection at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, as well as museums in Denver, London and Paris. “There is a world to discover with this material, and I love how more and more designers are investigating it,” Polo says. Intrigued by the possibilities of combining new technologies with traditional craftsmanship, for future exhibitions, he hopes to connect with designers who are implementing 3D-printing techniques to produce their pieces. But Aybar Gallery’s focus extends beyond product, to realizing interior architecture projects around the globe in far-reaching places like Germany, Tehran and Cambodia. From private residences to hotels and museums, the flair Polo and his team have for mixing art with architecture has resulted in successful collaborations with the likes of Apple, BMW, Chanel and Comme des Garçons. It’s no accident that Polo is continuously looking to new frontiers, as the quest for something new is rooted to his personality. Prior to embarking on an illustrious career in design almost 20 years ago, Polo started out with a chemistry degree. Think about it: Chemistry is the study of matter—so is design. While his gallery looks as if it’s always been perfectly structured, curating is akin to building molecules and requires the fine-tuning of different design elements to create a fundamentally sound result. “Selecting designers, or pieces, for a new exhibition is a very sensitive science,” he says. “My goal is to work with powerful pieces that speak on their own.”

hen gathering inspiration for a sumptuous new home in Fort Lauderdale overlooking the Intracoastal and just a stone’s throw from the beach, designers Ivonne Ronderos and Margaret Smith Logan and their associates found inspiration both close by and far afield. The homeowners, who were actively involved in the design process, wanted a home that was contemporary and elegant, but underscored with a comfortable beachy feel, and that incorporated some aspects of transitional style to achieve a sense of warmth. “They didn’t want a stark modern, all-white look,” explains Ronderos. “We wanted it to be unique, but to have that crossover, to be contemporary but timeless.” At the same time, Ronderos and her team members had been inspired by regular trips to Milan’s annual furniture fair, Salone del Mobile; this prompted a host of elegant Italian furniture selections, as well as the use of warm, colorful accent metals such as brass over colder materials like chrome. A true collaboration among the designers, architect Carlos A. Martin, and builders Robert (Bob) Mayer and Jay Lefka, the home is teeming with natural light from any given spot. “You’re always walking past the view,” Ronderos says. Several upstairs and downstairs rooms look out at the water, while a series of loggias lies just beyond the glass walls, underneath the awnings. The front of the house overlooks a reflecting pool, and the back features a swimming pool that runs alongside the covered terraces and up to the house, and in combination with the lake itself reflects even more light inside. Massive expanses of glass in back also can disappear altogether

as they fold into the perimeter walls. “It was all about bringing the inside and outside together,” says Mayer. Public areas on the ground floor are part of one large open space, yet the design team took advantage of several distinct interior architectural elements to create definition, such as a slatted-walnut ceiling that hovers above the living room or the wraparound fireplace clad in white powder-coated metal that extends down from it. “It’s very open, but the ceiling and wall treatments give you that delineation of each space,” Mayer says. Other built-in elements add a memorable touch of elegance and casual texture, such as a wall of marble that wraps around the dining room wall, the stacked stone pillars that divide the outdoor rooms, and a stunning wall of agate that enlivens the master bathroom. At the same time, a repetition of materials was employed to maintain uniformity. Walnut, for example,

is used throughout, be it for flooring in the bedrooms or for furniture such as the dining room table. Then to incorporate a sense of coziness and create interesting patterns, colorful rugs were added, especially upstairs in the bedrooms, as were draperies with a sense of lightness and texture. “Fort Lauderdale has more transitional homes rather than contemporary,” Ronderos explains. “This direction helped us to create an elegant feel with a more casual take.” Throughout the house, the design team also made use of creative groupings of objects and pieces of furniture, such as a quartet of hanging lights over the dining room table, a pair of his-and-hers mirrors layered over a larger mirror in the master bathroom, and a living room coffee table seemingly made from four conjoined pieces. “That’s something we’re seeing a lot more of, including at the Milan fair,” Ronderos says. “The plans used to call for a sofa, two side chairs and a coffee table.

Now, there’s more nesting or clustering.” The team also endeavored to add unexpected groups of furniture, such as the woven casual chairs used at the dining room table. “They boast this sophisticated linen and such elegant weaving, but they’re still playful,” Ronderos adds. Beyond just the furniture and surfaces, the home’s interior details and built-ins seem to possess a sense of motion or of floating mid-air. Take the small reveals where the walls meet the floor and ceiling, for example, how a built-in entertainment center in the home office or a wall of hidden appliances in the kitchen gently cantilever over the floor, or even the large-screen television that comes out of the ground between the backyard and the pool. The homeowners divide their time between this Florida home, the East Coast and Europe, but after moving in, the pull of this elegant yet comfortable oasis is strong. “They were so excited,” Ronderos recalls of the moment the clients first walked into the finished home. And she credits their participation, as well as the collaborative nature of the entire design-build team. “When you have people who are eager to build with you, you can have fun,” she says. “You don’t hold back.”
