EDITOR’S LETTER
WHAT’S NEW
_LX_COM12_EditorLetter.indd 28
The season of renewal (current projects! fresh ideas!) is here—and yet spring can also be a time when buds take a tad longer to bloom and concepts need coaxing to get started. We’ve all been there with the proverbial blank page staring us down. So, consider this New + Now issue to be an inspiration injection, where we update your point of view with discoveries that allow you to step outside the day-to-day and dive into something altogether new. Costas Voyatzis, the man behind yatzer.com, the global kaleidoscope of what’s happening in art, fashion and design, lets us in on the top brands to watch in 2017. We also
present the latest in side tables, report on the trend of vivid color making its way into homes across the country (Farrow & Ball Chappell Green, I have my eyes on you!), and head outdoors for a showcase of sumptuous new textiles. This spring, we also invite you online to the enhanced luxesource.com. Browse around and take a look. We’ll be tweaking things in the weeks to come, but hope you enjoy our ever-evolving digital home for design inspiration and discovery.

CONTRIBUTORS
BEHIND THE SCENES PRODUCED BY SARAH RAMIREZ
LIZ ARNOLD Writer / New York Favorite Luxe interview: I really enjoyed speaking with designer Michael Siller and luxury rug specialist Larry Hokanson about their own Houston home. They are both history buffs and enthusiasts of Russian classicism, and they are incredibly knowledgeable on the intersection of history and design. They filled their interiors with reproductions of exquisite pieces selected during trips to The State Hermitage Museum in Russia, and I still have plans to show up on their doorstep one day to see it for myself! Who is the most fascinating person you’ve ever met? Eva Zeisel. She was a playful Hungarian-born industrial designer who was imprisoned by Joseph Stalin’s regime before moving her ceramics into mass production, and she had the first one-woman show at the MoMA. Sadly, she passed away in 2011 at the age of 105. Prized possessions: A coin pendant of Queen Elizabeth II—a gift from my late father—that I wear on a long necklace; a vintage French upholstered armchair in mustard yellow that’s so low you feel like you’re in a sports car; and my computer, which stores all of my writing and ideas.
EMILY MINTON REDFIELD Photographer / Denver
What do you find inspiring about design today? Having nostalgia for 1970s wallpaper, I love seeing the new designs and appreciation for this art form. I can’t wait to put an Abigail Borg paper in my powder room and make it a fresh, retro jewel box. Unforgettable Luxe shoot: One of my most memorable projects was a home designed by my visionary father, Joseph Minton. Not only were the house and location beautiful, but I was also able to do the shoot in my pajamas alongside my dad. On your coffee table: I am inspired by design books and have them all over my house, but I am mostly fueled by fiction. My recent favorites are City of Thieves by David Benioff and All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. Most fascinating person you’ve ever met: The Maharaja of Jaipur at a small dinner party in Delhi, India, when I was 24.
LX_COM12_Contributors.indd 32
MARK ROSKAMS Photographer / New York Whose work are you most influenced by? Photographer Raymond Meier, who does such brilliant and innovative work in the commercial advertising and editorial fields; photographer François Halard, who developed a unique style in the world of interior photography; and designer and artist Doug Meyer, a longtime friend and collaborator who gives me so much inspiration in regards to design. What type of design inspires you? I really enjoy Santiago Calatrava’s bridges, buildings and public spaces, as well as Brutalist architecture of the old regimes, which are such amazing structures in their own right. Favorite assignments: In 2010, I worked on a book with Rizzoli in Puglia, Italy, and then on a second book last year. They were both great projects, and the memories of meeting people and seeing firsthand the beauty of many things—humanity, history, architecture, life, food and passion—will last forever. I am continuing this endeavor with a new book I am planning this year on the stables and barns of the British Isles.
LAURA FISHER KAISER Writer / Washington, D.C. My biggest creative influence comes from… Viewing art. I try to go to a museum once a week. Dream assignment: I would love to have a time-machine talk show called What Were You Thinking, where I interview famous, and infamous, people from history. Most-loved book: The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt’s New World by Andrea Wulf. She rummages through the scientist’s notebooks and inside his mind to show how his ideas helped create modern environmentalism. What advice would you give your 20-year-old self? Think big, but master the details. Also, find a good therapist. If not a writer, I would be… A Smithsonian museum curator.

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

RADAR / COLLABORATION
NEW YORK WHAT IT IS: Located on Canal Street in New York City, Colony is equal parts showroom and gallery with carefully curated goods from independent designers—many with ties to the area and working studios in nearby Brooklyn. Founded and curated by entrepreneur Jean Lin, the design co-op also has a strategic arm, named Colony Consult, developed to help designers better position their work in the retail market. WHAT IT DOES: Colony provides a community for the furniture, lighting, textile and object designers who call it home. In addition to offering a brick-and-mortar location for members to showcase their goods, Lin also thinks outside the box with a series of exhibits and pop-ups with neighboring non-endemic businesses to drive new traffic to the space. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Industry darlings like Erickson Aesthetics, whose in-progress copper Manifold chair is featured on our Radar opener, count themselves part of Colony, as do craftsman and designer Aaron Poritz (pictured far right), whose gorgeous Abner toolbox (shown on the previous page) offers both form and function; lighting upstart Allied Maker and its Voyager 333 chandelier (shown right, top); and the woodworking wunderkinds behind Vonnegut/Kraft, who are responsible for the handsome Black Crescent lounge (right, bottom).
▲ JOIN DESIGN
SEATTLE WHAT IT IS: Founded in 2008 by the prolific minds behind some of the Pacific Northwest’s most successful creative practices—Grain, Iacoli & McAllister and Ladies & Gentlemen Studio, for example—Join Design has become much more than a venture to showcase local talents and now includes more than 50 members
LX_COM12_Radar_Made_In_America.indd 38
from independent design studios all over the country. WHAT IT DOES: In addition to hosting events and exhibits featuring products (made in the USA, of course) from its impressive roster of makers, Join also solicits new product design, curates its own collections for popular trade shows, offers mentorship programs and organizes retail pop-ups. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Multimedia artist Aleksandra Pollner’s
unique and modern approach to traditional furniture constructs, as shown in the table above, left, is breathtaking; designer Melanie Abrantes creates chic accessories (above, right) using beautifully grained wood and cork, the nonconventional material of our dreams; and The Granite’s expert handling of form and function makes even the most mundane of objects extraordinary.

L.A. BOX COLLECTIVE
LOS ANGELES WHAT IT IS: A community built by Los Angelesbased furniture makers, L.A. Box Collective started as a way to bond over the group’s shared commitment to working with sustainable materials while engaged in sustainable practices— something they continue to honor through a particularly thoughtful mission statement. WHAT IT DOES: Not only does the collective encourage and provide support to makers who seek to tackle their craft with a mindful approach to the environment, it also puts on joint exhibitions of work completed under a common theme: For example, last year, its 10 members debuted a show at the Craft & Folk Art Museum, titled “Windfall,” which featured new works crafted exclusively from wood sourced from local trees felled during California’s historic San Gabriel Valley windstorm of 2011. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Casey Dzierlenga splits her time between Los Angeles and her home base in New York’s Hudson River Valley, where she mostly mills wood from her own land before transforming it into clean-lined masterpieces with an organic feel, as demonstrated by the wonderfully simplistic yet impactful aesthetic of the Alma credenza and Lorca coffee table
(shown above and right); while a foundation and love for midcentury designers fuels designer and craftsman David Johnson’s original works as well as his careful Danish modern restoration projects that somehow capture and preserve their makers’ intentions while offering up a little something extra.
PARIS WHAT IT IS: A Paris-based showroom dedicated to introducing international design lovers to the best of American design, Triode is expanding the conversation surrounding what it means for a product to be made in America to a whole new audience. Founder Jacques Barret presents this generation of American classics along with reissues from greats like Finn Juhl and Richard Neutra. WHAT IT DOES: Barret is making the domestic design movement cool again by bringing it to the epicenter of global chic, Paris— home to one of the furniture industry’s most well-respected yearly celebrations, Maison & Objet—and allowing the pieces to stand on their own against friendly competition from all over the globe. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Based in New York, Anna Karlin’s eye-catching contemporary furniture forms (shown at left) feel vaguely European but are all produced with the help of local artisans; and Apparatus, Rosie Li and Bec Brittain’s illuminated offerings break the mold on traditional lighting from studios in Brooklyn.

HUBBARDTON FORGE’S DESIGN DIRECTOR DAVID KITTS SHARES HOW ONE OF THE COUNTRY’S OLDEST AND LARGEST COMMERCIAL FORGES IN OPERATION IS EXPANDING—WITH ITS NEWEST LINE, VERMONT MODERN—AND REDEFINING AMERICAN CRAFTSMANSHIP. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRITTANY S. CHEVALIER
Speaking of process, tell us how you brought your visions to life. Our design process starts off very hands-on: We make a sketch and often work with steel, paper or foam models, and then we figure out how to illuminate the initial concept. As an unconventional design group, we were able to “loosen up” and really have fun with the offerings. We quickly realized, though, that fun isn’t always easy; there’s a fine line between a design that is simple and a design that is pure. Striving for this purity has been both enjoyable and challenging. Why is it so important to continue to honor the company’s tradition of craft? It’s a part of Hubbardton Forge’s legacy—the commitment to the handmade—and it was one of the driving forces behind Vermont Modern. Everyone here believes in it, which is good since a lot of people contribute to the final product. For example, three different departments work intently on constructing the actual form—from molding and cutting the steel to cleaning raw edges and prepping the material for welding. After the elements are forged
LX_COM12_Radar_Debut.indd 42
together, they’re cleaned again before heading to the final three departments, starting with the finishing team. In this stage, the products are powder-coated and cured in our ovens, then sent to assembly, where they are completed and tested before shipping out. Share some of the materials you added to this line to complement Hubbardton’s signature steel. We introduced Vermont maple in a natural finish that is locally sourced from Maple Landmark, a wooden toy crafter 30 miles north of the forge in Vermont. We thought the wood element added a nice natural contrast to the steel, and its natural state adds a touch of Danish modern appeal.
Do you have a favorite piece in the collection? While I am intrigued by the Metro pendant (shown here), and the duality of its piping acting as a functional and primary decorative element, I am also drawn to our Copernicus design. It is very different from anything we have ever done, as it is very minimal and comprises only three basic components: an LED light, steel rails, and wooden balls that act as isolators. In the past, we would have tried to add a forged-steel element to give it something more, but with Vermont Modern we are really trying to keep the design pure by boiling it down to its innate essence.
PHOTO: JUDE GOLDMAN .
Hubbardton Forge’s newest collection is innovative and fresh and marks a shift from its more traditional offerings. What was the inspiration behind the line? The initial goal for Vermont Modern was to appeal to a younger, more urban demographic, to people who appreciate high-quality, contemporary design from a socially responsible domestic manufacturer who still crafts each piece one at a time.

RADAR / BEHIND THE BRAND
Family Affair MCKINNON AND HARRIS EMBRACES A LOCAL, HANDMADE ETHOS, INSTILLING A SENSE OF TRADITION AND PLACE IN THE COMPANY’S OUTDOOR FURNISHINGS.
“We always say that we don’t want to be the biggest outdoor furniture maker in the world; we just want to be the best,” says Anne Massie, the cofounder, with her brother Will, of Richmond, Virginia-based McKinnon and Harris. For the siblings, the key to being the best means keeping things local. The pair opened their doors in 1991, and the area, itself a historic center of craft, provides a spark that has allowed the company to thrive. Says Will Massie, “McKinnon and Harris could never live in an industrial park; we crave the energy and inspiration of our city.” Born from rough pencil sketches, McKinnon and Harris’ furnishings are handmade in a workshop flooded with light thanks to a clerestory running the length of the building. After being refined by the Massies and their team of engineers, the designs are put into production in a process relying on methods both old and new. Hammers, mallets, hand files of varying shapes and sizes, chisels and clamps can be found in the factory, along with a 62-person force of craftspeople who possess knowledge and skill born of years of practice. “You can palpably feel the drive for excellence and innovation and hear the hum of hands working and the sounds of metal being formed,” says Will. Time-honored practices, though, share space with cutting-edge technology, especially when it comes to the company’s coating process, which manages to be both environmentally friendly and effective. Inspiration for their pieces comes from traditional sources: A new collection launching this spring came by way of a nautical-feeling, French Art Deco chair from the 1930s. The roots of new designs also start closer to home—namely from Anne’s garden at her historic residence. “Spending a lot of time there makes it easy to realize what would
LX_COM12_Radar_BehindTheBrand.indd 44
make my own outdoor spaces more comfortable,” she shares. There’s also the Wyatt garden table collection, titled after the Massies’ grandmother, Ella Wyatt McKinnon Massie, while their Beaufort club chairs are named after a family dog always on the lookout for the most comfortable seat. The siblings are committed to keeping their focus on outdoor furnishings and their operations local. “Absolutely no one knows as much as we do about building and coating beautiful aluminum furniture,” notes Anne. “For now, we plan to continue innovating and perfecting our first love.” And, in keeping with that smaller yet better ethos, they’re staying small and close to home. “Our pieces deserve to never see a factory floor,” says Will. “Plus, it would be impossible to achieve our level of perfection on any larger of a scale. Mass-producing McKinnon and Harris’ Beaufort club chairs gather around a Wyatt table or overseas manufacturing would (top) at the home of company cofounder Will Massie (shown center, left, be a completely soulless endeavor, with sister and business partner Anne Massie); the duVal-Alexander sun and we couldn’t do it.” bed is shown above.

DESIGN PASSPORT LOOKING TO BOOKMARK A NEW MUST-READ WEBSITE? LUXE CATCHES UP WITH COSTAS VOYATZIS, THE CREATIVE FORCE BEHIND YATZER.COM AND ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING VOICES IN INTERNATIONAL DESIGN. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA PORTRAIT BY YIORGOS KAPLANIDIS
What made you decide to launch Yatzer? My obligatory draft in the Greek military came up. I had actually delayed it for quite a while, but at the age of 26, I couldn’t put it off anymore. So, I was drafted, and I had to leave my job, the career I was forging and all the contacts I had made behind, and I worried that the year and a half in the military would halt my career. It was this fear, that I’d lose touch with the industry, that actually became the catalyst for yatzer.com. I wanted to stay connected even though I wasn’t physically present. It began as my private blog and evolved into what it is today. Share your most-loved part of the job. I love to attend trade shows and do market coverage because I always discover hidden design gems. Although it takes days to complete my research after the shows, I can’t wait to press the publish button and share my discoveries with people who don’t have the chance to travel

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

and attend these shows but want to “relive” them through my eyes. But, also, it is important to cover these events for the people—designers and companies—who, although they have participated in the shows, due to their hectic schedules, don’t even have the time to check out what’s happening in the stand around the corner from theirs or in a different hall from the one they are in. Do you have any favorite trade shows? Definitely the first place belongs to Salone del Mobile Milano, which is a part of a much bigger event, Milano Design Week. Although there is never enough time to see everything, it is still the place where the industry’s major trends are born. Next, I have to mention Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair, because who can ignore Scandinavian design? And, then, the Biennale Interieur in Kortrijk, Belgium, which has been happening every two years since 1968; the careful curatorial job behind it is visible in every detail of the fair. Top five brands to watch in 2017: For furniture, I’ve got my eye on Ginger & Jagger out of Porto, Portugal; for lighting, London’s Bert Frank has so much promise; Fabscarte from Milan has my vote for shaking up the world of wallpapers; Barcelona-based Octaevo is turning traditional stationery on its head; and, finally, Kikof from Tokyo has absolutely incredible offerings in ceramic tableware. Tell us about the products you have on your own wish list. There’s desk sculptures by graphic designer and architect Kristina Dam from Copenhagen. The set comes with a round paperweight in stoneware, a triangle bookend in marble, a wooden cone and an arc in brass (all shown on previous page). I also love the Ora Sculptural
table clock by the Switzerland-based design duo Panter & Tourron—a collaboration between Italy’s Stefano Panterotto and Alexis Tourron from France. The Stadium Light No. 1 by Danish furniture and product designer Niclas Jørgensen is also a favorite, as are the Touch trays by Studioilse for Zanat. Finally, I’m a big fan of the Plugged series of carafes, jugs, soliflore and table lamps by Lebanese interior architect and product designer Richard Yasmine. Why do you think it’s important to talk about design with a multicultural lens? There are many design sites around the world that focus on domestic design, but I believe that yatzer.com gives readers a wider perspective. It affords them the opportunity to see the trends as they are being created around the world, and they can therefore witness their progression and subsequent development. Is there a particular country whose design scene is really interesting you right now? What instantly comes to mind are the wireweaving works being created in Africa. These are amazing to me because the artists are combining modern technology—telephone wires—with traditional weaving techniques and craftsmanship. The results are so unique.
From top: The Plugged series of drink and glassware from Lebanese designer Richard Yasmine; an assortment of Touch trays by Studioilse for Zanat; and the Ora Sculptural table clock by Panter & Tourron.

Medium: Gloss on aluminum. Trademark: Delicate while maintaining a distinct contemporary feel. Women’s intuition: To capture the female form in vulnerable and intimate moments.

KATE LONG STEVENSON: IN HER WORDS
8
Medium: Acrylic, gouache and watercolor—layered with charcoal. Trademark: Abstract Expressionist, representational and feminine. Women’s intuition: The female form is universally relatable and beautiful, and I love to take that familiarity and turn it on its head. Art game changer: Decidedly the biggest shift in my career was the decision to create for myself and not the market; it’s refreshing to produce work that I am passionate about. Creative influences: Painterly work—from Impressionism to John Singer Sargent’s brushstrokes and glowing color—and Abstract Expressionists like Joan Mitchell and Willem de Kooning. Never too many… Laughs, long conversations, lunch dates or snoozebutton hits. My art is… Gestural, energetic and mysterious.

CURVE APPEAL CAROLINE WALLS: IN HER WORDS
6
Medium: Both oil and synthetic polymer paint, along with charcoal and graphite. Trademark: Figurative—I tend to drift between abstract works, breaking down the line and form of a figure, and representational pieces. Women’s intuition: I deeply appreciate the aesthetics of the female form, its curves and sensuality, but I’m also interested in what lies beneath the surface, as the unseen aspects of a person are so easy to overlook. Art school confidential: I have always had a keen interest in the arts, so after five years of working abroad as a designer and art director, I finally returned to Melbourne, Australia, and enrolled in a postgraduate visual arts program. Creative influences: Marlene Dumas, Elizabeth Peyton, Louise Bourgeois—all women who work figuratively and with the female form. My art is… Spontaneous, fluid, sensual, free and evocative.

CONCRETE JUNGLE A TOUCH OF GREENERY ACCENTUATES AN IMPRESSIVE DISPLAY OF SIDE TABLES, CEMENTING THEIR STATUS AS CHIC ADDITIONS TO ANY URBAN DWELLING. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY KATE BERGERON PHOTOGRAPHY BY KATE BENSON
SUSAN COLLINS WEIR
INTERIOR DESIGNER STUDIOCOLLINSWEIR.COM
The Parker nesting tables… Play with motifs from various eras. It’s clear from the tables’ neoclassical and early-19th-century influences that Showers cleverly drew her inspiration from traditional, triedand-true European design that somehow feels extremely fresh. Composition: The decorative aspect of the design is a strong counterpoint to the minimal urban backdrop, while the decadent bronze complements the magnolia leaves, adding warmth to the concrete. On keeping it real: Authentic and original design is vital to the work of designers. It drives the profession forward and underpins our collective advances, challenging us to reinvent the norms and push art and design forward. I’m impressed with Showers’… Innate ability to mix and revamp decorative styles, and her line with Kravet exemplifies her knack for bringing this cross section of furniture genres to one of the industry’s top design powerhouses. Creatively speaking: Good proportions and strong materiality are what I look for in an accent table, and these nesting tables epitomize both.

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

TINY WONDER THE PIECE: Pedestal THE DESIGNERS: Vera Kleppe and Åshild Kyte FIND IT: esaila.com THE INSPIRATION: Stirred by a perennial curiosity to explore fresh materials and unexpected design forms, Norway-based design studio Vera & Kyte continually pushes the envelope with its sleek and electrifying creations. Pedestal holds true to those aesthetic ideals, making this versatile side table a perfect—and dynamic—addition to any home.
JEREMIAH BRENT INTERIOR DESIGNER JEREMIAHBRENT.COM
Vera & Kyte’s designs… Feel so easy and chic. What a unique pairing of form and function throughout this piece while maintaining total simplicity; nothing is over-designed, and yet it still feels like high design. Material connection: I love how the marble and perforated steel almost seem at odds, yet they are so harmonious together. Having lived in New York City… I am connected to this composition instantly. There is nothing like partaking in daily life (which can be real and messy and beautiful all at the same time) in a place like New York to truly understand the concept of a “concrete jungle,” and this composition reflects that experience perfectly. Visual play: Pedestal’s luscious curves cast against the sharp corners of the concrete highlight Vera & Kyte’s piece in a distinctly effortless and luxurious way. Creatively speaking: This table is a gorgeous compilation of so many periods of design and a true jack-of-all-trades: It’s as edgy as it is sophisticated and would work perfectly in just about any space.

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

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

SET IN STONE THE PIECE: Italia Terrazzo Stone Inlaid Table THE DESIGNER: Susan Hable FIND IT: maitland-smith.com THE INSPIRATION: Artist by trade, Georgia’s Susan Hable is a magical force in and of herself, helming the multimedium Hable Construction design studio with her sister and partnering with Maitland-Smith to create an accessories line that is distinctly modern and full of flavor. The Italia Terrazzo Stone Inlaid table illustrates her aesthetic ideal, which Hable realized by mixing patterns to add dimension to each piece within the collection. Mission accomplished.
TODD NICKEY + AMY KEHOE INTERIOR DESIGNERS NICKEYKEHOE.COM
Susan Hable’s designs… Seem rooted in nature, and we love her ability to create modern compositions with her subject matter. Her collections with Maitland-Smith bring out the company’s whimsical side in an earthy and delightful way. Composition: The understated nods to an urban garden evoke, for us, a South American midcentury mood. Material connection: With its many iterations, terrazzo often gets overlooked in certain applications, as it’s often used in large commercial spaces. We love that this particular use of the stone blend appears to read as foliage and has a transporting quality. There’s a reference to precious stones with this moody color palette that feels extremely luxurious as well. On keeping it real: In today’s crowded marketplace, we gravitate toward pieces with an emotional charge more than ever. The artistic intentions in Susan’s designs do not go unnoticed here with this dynamic piece.

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

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

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

ELDORADO STONE OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK
When beginning the design or renovation of any outdoor living area, Brent Spann, president of Eldorado Stone, advises clients to “think about how you live and what you enjoy doing—be it reading, hosting, family time—and plan the space for that use.” He continues, “Ultimately it should fit the homeowner’s lifestyle and within the scale of the space ... with ample seating, a fire feature, shade and a kitchen, of course.” While many design trends come and go, the focus on indoor-outdoor spaces remains with an emphasis on creating a cohesive look for a seamless transition from the inside out. Conversation and living spaces with fire as a central point continue in popularity, as well as the extension of “smart-home” technology to outdoor living spaces. To accommodate today’s vast variety of outdoor options, Eldorado Stone offers an extensive outdoor product lineup, ranging from elegant fire bowls to inviting seating walls and beautiful outdoor kitchens, that transforms any personal retreat through color and texture. “We seamlessly marry design with functionality, making it easier than ever to create a memorable space,” Spann says.
Q+A What is inspiring you now? Year-round use of the outdoor space, even outside of the Sun Belt. Creative use of the space and amenities beyond going outside to grill a steak. Also, creating secondary living spaces for smaller areas in your outdoor space, like in a side yard or balcony. What are some design elements/innovations in outdoor living that you’re excited about? Outdoor-rated fabrics, furniture and appliances that look like they would belong in your indoor space. Not your grandmother’s plastic-covered lounge chair. What makes your product/brand distinctive in terms of material selection, product quality and functionality? Our fire bowls bring a heightened level of design and elegance to any outdoor space and come in a variety of styles, from classic to modern. Made from strong, glass fiberreinforced concrete and hand-sanded through a four-step finishing process, each fire bowl renders a true one-of-a-kind creation with subtle variations in color and texture, similar to natural limestone. 1
“Outdoor living is not a trend, but an extension of the home and an area that gets as much design attention as any other part of the house.” 2

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

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

Lighting designer and manufacturer Hubbardton Forge has helped extend interior residential spaces seamlessly to the outdoors with its equally aesthetic and functional light fixtures. “Today, we think about the ‘home’ differently.

We have given a lot of thought, during the creative process, to materials and finishes that stand the test of time and weather.” This vigorous approach distinguishes the company, which has, despite its success, maintained its handcrafted, domestically made values. Founded (and still based) in Vermont, Hubbardton Forge makes sure that, as Kitts notes, “Any piece leaving the forge is touched by multiple hands throughout the process of its creation. When you look at a Hubbardton Forge lighting fixture, you’re seeing the artistic achievements of a team dedicated to design.”

WESTERN WINDOW SYSTEMS OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK
The popularity of outdoor living continues to surge at a record pace with consumers prioritizing these spaces as critical to a home’s overall look, feel and design. One trend growing in popularity is 90-degree multi-slide doors which, according to Scott Gates, president and CEO of Western Window Systems, “enable consumers to utilize moving glass walls to open up two walls of their home and flow the kitchen and living room to the outside.” Sustainability is also key, and an essential part of the design process at Western Window Systems. “Outdoor living is enabling consumers to leave a smaller carbon footprint,” Gates continues. “By making their outdoor patio a true feature and living space of the home, consumers are now able to build smaller, smarter homes. We believe everyone deserves the ability to open up their home on a beautiful day to entertain guests, laugh around the fire pit and enjoy a beverage.”
“We create products that are taller, wider and with more glass than anyone else in the industry. ”

A ROOM WITH A HUE RICH PALETTES AND DRAMATIC CONTRASTS BRING ENERGY, PERSONALITY AND MAJOR STYLE TO THE HOME’S MOST-FREQUENTED ROOMS. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY MICHELLE BRUNNER
While it’s safe to say we are still living in the era of the all-white kitchen and bath, there’s no denying even the smallest flourish of color can cast an irresistible spell. After all, 90 percent of what we take in via our senses comes to us through the gift of sight, and there’s little that commands our vision more than bright, beautiful color. No wonder a palette change has the power to reinvigorate a tired cook space or bring spa-like serenity to a bath. A color refresh offers a fearless antidote to what are often neutral utilitarian spaces, and who knows that better than designers? For some it’s a minor dalliance—the oft-quoted “pop of color” comes to mind—while for others, it’s a full-blown affair with a particular shade, as in this stunning forest green kitchen. Whatever your style, join us as we make the case for painting with bold strokes. 136 / LUXESOURCE.COM

GREEN SCENE
DEVOL KITCHENS This British company is leading the way in kitchen design, offering a fresh take on traditional English style. For this particular project, designer Helen Robson employed unexpected color to create depth and drama. devolkitchens.co.uk
How do you usually bring personality into the kitchen? While open shelves are practical, they also allow the client to display a bit of character, whether it’s through a collection of bowls or, in this case, lots of old paintings. A kitchen is so much more than a utilitarian space and having an area to display something personal helps to create a warm, welcoming feel. What’s your favorite thing about this design? I love that this kitchen is actually a really simple design of four bespoke cabinets. Simplicity is key in carrying off such a daring color choice. Of course, I also absolutely love the room’s originality and how it’s totally infused with the personality of the client. It never felt like she was trying to copy a look, but to devise something that was completely her own.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There’s a reason fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli’s signature shade was “shocking pink.” The fearless style maverick believed the vivid color had life-giving properties. No wonder designer Amanda Nisbet chose a similar fuchsia for the dining room of this Park Avenue apartment in New York. “The saturated pink silk walls are luxuriously sexy, while still being cozy and welcoming—the perfect atmosphere for a successful evening,” she says. amandanisbetdesign.com

Shaking off its girly connotation, blush has emerged in the last year as an unconventional yet versatile neutral. Here, it lends a merengue-like quality to a plush, velvet club chair. With its channel-back design, the Charlotte armchair by India Mahdavi is strikingly sculptural and elegant. It’s proof that this particular shade of pink is all grown-up now. ralphpucci.net

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

Blue continues its reign as a cabinet color of choice in the kitchen, but judging from this dining space, its popularity is spreading to other parts of the house.

The result: a functional entertaining hub that’s also a stunning focal point for dinner guests. grantkgibson.com

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

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

nterior designer Paul Vincent Wiseman refers to “the long body of our memory”—a metaphor he uses to describe his work at the Bel-Air, California, home of longtime clients. As he puts it, “We bring our past and our future simultaneously to a place. I’m pulling the house from the past but also projecting it into the future.” The past of which he speaks is the ornate Beaux Arts home on San Francisco’s Nob Hill that he decorated for these clients, and the future is the home in Bel-Air that looks nothing like it. Actress Judy Garland originally commissioned the house from architect Wallace Neff in 1938. It is airy and open, situated on 2 1/2 acres with a pool and writer’s cabin in back; and though the exterior exudes old-line East Coast style, the interior layout is classic L.A. casual. The owners had considered buying it in the mid-1970s before decamping to San Francisco to work and raise two daughters—they bought it on the spot when it came back on the market shortly after they retired and returned south. “I walked in and fell in love,” the husband says. “It almost took my breath away.” Adds the wife: “It had been beautifully restored. You feel the serenity as you walk in.” The owners had no problem abandoning their Beaux Arts aesthetic—and many precious antiques—to create a new environment. “We love good design and what’s appropriate for a place,” the wife says. “Nob Hill felt like a Parisian apartment, but what was right for Nob Hill isn’t right for L.A.—in a canyon, with a more casual lifestyle.” To that end, they instructed the San Francisco-based Wiseman, along with design principal Brenda Mickel and associate design principal Jessica Redondo, to go where the house led them. “Because we trust Paul completely, we gave him no directive,” the wife says. “We asked him to tell the story of the house.” The story had already begun with the previous owner’s beautiful renovations to the kitchen and bathrooms, and all the rooms were painted pearly gray, which provided a
“WE BRING OUR PAST AND OUR FUTURE SIMULTANEOUSLY TO A PLACE.” —PAUL VINCENT WISEMAN
LX_NA35_CA42_HOM_Wiseman_18.indd 164
pleasing neutral setting for the team to move forward. “It was in perfect condition,” Wiseman says. Mickel agrees. “We didn’t have to change anything,” she says, “which is incredibly unusual for our firm.” The designers added to the foundation by using gauzy linen Roman shades throughout the house to establish a visual flow and sisal rugs with Ultrasuede grid lines that connect the spaces in the first-floor rooms. “It was a detail as well to add that trim so it wasn’t a vast amount of sisal,” Redondo says. The color scheme emerged from those gray walls and the wife’s collection of pale pink, blue and celadon vases that came from Nob Hill and now grace the master bedroom mantel. “They were in these dreamy colors, so we just built around that,” Mickel says. Wiseman’s “long body of our memory” perspective informed how the home would be furnished. Antiques that made the cut from San Francisco were used sparingly in the new interiors, and the furnishings that survived were reupholstered in glazed linens. “All the new furniture was very contemporary, and all the old furniture was covered in contemporary fabrics,” Wiseman says. Most of the new furnishings are custom—the curved seating in the home’s prominent bay windows and the modern sectional and stitched-leather coffee table in the sun room—while the owners’ surviving antiques get top billing wherever they are placed. The deep honeyed finish on matching antique rosewood chairs in the living room, for example, stands sharply in contrast to the pale linens around them. “We tried to use fewer antiques but let them be special, so they would stand out as sculpture,” Wiseman says. The same idea applies to the foyer’s 19th-century French commode topped with two stark-white plaster lamps in the style of Giacometti. A gilded Japanese screen in the dining room, meanwhile, looks across the room—and the centuries—to a grid of Marc Chagall prints, all of them grounded with Madeline Stuart chairs sporting pared-down neoclassical silhouettes. “We took their traditional roots and peeled them back,” Redondo says of the effect. Likewise, in the master bedroom, Wiseman upholstered a four-poster bed and the owners’ existing armchair in linens, bringing a set of English nesting tables into focus—just enough of a traditional touch but not too much. As for the home’s own place in Hollywood lore and architectural pedigree, Wiseman says that Neff’s layout was a joy to work with. “He understood proportions beautifully, and he got that storybook ambience down,” the interior designer says. But the only spirit inhabiting the house belongs to the owner. “You feel a lot of glamour in this house,” Mickel says, “but that really stems from the wife—she’s a really understated, glamorous woman.”

SMALL WORLDS SAN FRANCISCO ARTIST KLARI REIS COMBINES UNEXPECTED MATERIALS AND MICROSCOPIC INSPIRATIONS IN COLORFUL WAYS. WRITTEN BY YELENA MOROZ ALPERT PHOTOGRAPHY BY KRISTEN LOKEN
A
s you enter the San Francisco studio of Klari Reis, you’ll likely see her wearing a hazmat suit with a ventilation mask—looking more like a scientist than an artist. “It’s very hard to be distracted when those things are on,” she says. Often surrounded by hundreds of petri dishes, she might appear to be concocting some sort of experiment, and, in a way, she is—one that explores how color and form are manipulated by science. The results of her efforts lie in her signature petri dish works, which are installed in sets of 30-, 60- or 150-piece groupings. “I love the fact that each one is its own tiny world,” she says, “a finely detailed organism. I don’t think I could ever get bored with the process, or the results.” Using epoxy polymer plastic—a cement additive typically used to give floors their sheen, and the artist’s material of choice—Reis dyes the plastic with various colors before spooning, spraying or dripping it into petri dishes to create meticulous layers of cellular-like forms. Then, as the epoxy dries, she pops any bubbles with a blow torch or hair dryer and finishes each piece with special mounting hardware.

San Francisco artist Klari Reis (left) draws inspiration from cellular forms in creating her signature petri dish pieces (previous pages), which she realizes with epoxy polymer plastic. She uses the material in her larger-scale works as well, including Systemic Circulation (bottom). In-progress works (opposite) rest in her studio.
Although the pieces have a scientific bent, the artist actually found her medium through architecture. Before earning a master’s degree in painting and transitioning to art full-time, Reis launched her career as an architectural illustrator. While working on a project at the San Francisco International Airport, she came across epoxy and was intrigued. The artist began experimenting with the material, but it wasn’t until a personal encounter with an autoimmune disease that the seeds were planted for her cellular-inspired works. When Reis was ill, a doctor gave her a peek under the microscope, and she was fascinated to see how her cells reacted to the medications and the bright pink, orange, purple and blue dyes that showed up under the lens. Reis began exploring those images in her work, first as large-scale paintings and later within the petri dishes. “It took a great deal of trial and error to get the epoxy to work within the confines of a petri dish,” she says. While she still uses a microscope for inspiration, it’s not only pharmaceutical images that fuel her creations. She’ll examine everything from plants to paint chips to dust, and then often draw what she sees before trying to recreate the image in epoxy. In addition to the petri dish installations, Reis continues to explore micro-life in her larger scale pieces on both aluminum and wood panels. “I feel as if anything is possible in art,” she says. “It’s just amazing what’s happening in the art world today in terms of thinking outside the painting panel, and I think this philosophy can be related to all aspects of life.” LUXESOURCE.COM / 183

his time, it had to be extra special,” designer Amy Lau says. Not that the three previous residences she had decorated for two of her dearest clients weren’t memorable, but this particular New York apartment, with wraparound terraces that enjoy broad views of Gracie Mansion and the East River, would probably be these homeowners’ last big project with Lau, since they planned to stay here for good. “She’s a design junkie—she’s got the best eye ever,” Lau says of the wife. “So if this was going to be our final collaboration, I said, ‘Let’s take it to the next level.’ ” The opportunity presented itself when the second apartment on the Scheidts’ floor became available, and they snapped it up to transform it into their main living area, with the existing apartment reserved for guests and the husband’s office and piano studio. The new place
hadn’t been touched in at least 30 years, the wife says, “so every single wall in the apartment came down.” While architect Robert Luntz worked on a new open-plan layout, the wife gathered inspiration from her vast collection of European design magazines—though after 16 years of friendship, she says, “Before I open my mouth, Amy knows what I’m looking for.” Indeed, Lau knew where to go once the wife brought out a painting she had purchased but never hung: a midcentury abstract full of blue and turquoise hues. “I fell in love with the colors in this painting,” Lau recalls, “and I felt as though the entire design direction should be built around this artwork.” Though blue had never figured in the owners’ other homes—their country home, paradoxically, is ablaze in orange and red hues—the wife embraced the cooler palette because she felt it would reflect the colors of the LUXESOURCE.COM / 187

river and horizon outside the apartment’s sprawling windows. The wife also expressed a desire for Brutaliststyle furnishings. “My mind was evolving to things that were more architectural, more sculptural,” she explains. “Here, it’s a city dwelling, and you’re looking at chimneys; you’re looking at factories across the river in Long Island City. That evokes the raw feeling of Brutalism.” Other requirements were to incorporate the Scheidts’ collection of African relics and sculpture and to bring more ceramic art and accessories into the mix. In response, Lau commissioned a series of unforgettable site-specific artworks and decor. She first approached Fort Street Studio to create two Dandong wild-silk rugs for the long, narrow living area where that key painting now hangs. “The patterns in the rugs look like they were formed by brushstrokes, like watercolor,” she says. “They are basically an homage to that painting.” Custom cashmere, wool and mohair throw pillows by textile designer Lauren Saunders are a more literal translation of the painting, and the effect shows up again in a hair-on-hide rug in the nearby entry hall. Lau employed similar combinations in the master suite with luminous ombré draperies and handmade Italian tiles commissioned for the shower. From one end of the apartment to the other, she explains, “I love that you do one thing, and it echoes in different places with different materials and different forms.” The designer was more judicious with the heavier Brutalist accents—most notably a Paul Evans coffee table with a sculpted black-metal base and an oversize floor lamp from Evans’ era, both which stand out against the living room’s neutral palette. She extended those neutrals

through the dining area and into the kitchen, a study in white, beige and gray that is dominated by a Malcolm Hill mural. “I just totally wanted to do a mural, no ifs, ands or buts,” Lau says. “I thought one monolithic piece, rather than little pictures along the wall, would be fantastic.” She then arranged cloudlike lights over the island with help from builders Mark Dobbin and Breandan Timothy. “The design team had full-scale mockups and paper templates. From there, we were able to identify where the junction boxes would go,” Timothy says, noting that the designers’ meticulous preparation paid off. “The whole effect is almost lunar-looking.” Equally meticulous was the way in which Lau sourced Italian and German ceramics to display among her clients’ African art collection on custom shelves in the master bedroom. “Each little piece is a jewel,” she says. The room’s custom Moroccan rug, custom bedding and upholstered wall complement the tableau. The best part of the two-year renovation, as it turned out, came last. It took Lau nearly that long to persuade her clients to go for an installation dividing the dining and living areas: a lacy three-panel screen made from layers of cast bronze. “It’s the pièce de résistance,” she says of metalsmith Silas Seandel’s sculpture. A fitting tribute, one might say, to so many years of creativity and creation between a designer and her cherished clients.

P
retty much everyone has heard the old adage “Good things come to those who wait.” But few would argue that in our high-tech, gottahave-it-now world, patience is a diminishing virtue. To hear the story of a Seattle family who took their time determining the style of home they wanted to build on property that had been in their family for generations is downright refreshing. “The owners and their four children lived in an existing circa-1930s bungalow for nearly a decade while deciding what direction they wanted to go,” says their designer, Julie Massucco Kleiner. They did make good use of their time, though, Kleiner points out, because they put together an impressive pre-Pinterest inspiration binder that serendipitously included clippings of rooms she had designed. Working with architects Peter Conard and Suzanne Findley, the family eventually decided on a Shingle-style home (builder Tony Giaquinta and landscape architect Randy Allwoth rounded out the team). “They wanted a
LX_NAT35_PNW34_HOM_Massucco_16_.indd 200
home that looked like it had been there for many years with additions made over time but suitable for modern living,” says Findley. In conjunction with Conard, who passed away after the project was completed, Findley imbued the structure with classic Shingle-style details such as a prominent main gable, painted wood columns and mullioned windows in varying shapes and sizes. “It’s rich in detail and tradition, but it’s also designed for contemporary, active family life,” she says. In the entry, for example, the paneled walls, crown moldings and gently curving staircase establish the requisite classical bones, while a separate informal entry features a place for coats and boots. The job of installing the array of custom elements fell to Giaquinta. “Getting everything right required a major coordination effort,” says the builder, pointing to the installation of the graceful main stair, which was built off-site before “our carpenters framed in the curve and then the traditional plaster subcontractor came in with their mesh and plaster finish coat.”

Kleiner had no trouble convincing all concerned that the elaborate woodwork needed to be high-gloss white. “It created the perfect blank slate for the pomegranate red grass-cloth walls in the living room,” says the designer, citing an antique Oushak as the starting point for the home’s bold red, blue and green palette. “It was one of the first things the owners bought after they got married, so there was sentimental attachment.” Other notable floor coverings serve as the introduction to the home—an animal print stair runner and a graphic acid green-and-blue rug—and the unexpected patterns tamp down any notion of stuffiness. Similarly in the living room, a sleek 1970s goatskin-veneer coffee table stands as a glam counterpoint to a velvet-dressed daybed and damask-upholstered armchairs. In the formal dining room, home of the Oushak and some stately family portraits, grass-cloth walls and navy leather chairs with traditional profiles tweaked just a bit for a modern edge keep it fresh.
Throughout the project, Kleiner was mindful of matching the high level of craftsmanship evident in the intricately carved marble fireplace surround and the reclaimed hardwood floors with soft goods of equal caliber. Saddlestitched sofa cushions, button tufting on the daybed and knotted embroidery on the draperies—“so beautifully detailed I could stare at them for hours,” she says—are among the thoughtful offsets. In the husband’s study, the melding of a heavily textured rug with a clean-lined sofa and the juxtaposition of a shiny leather chair with suede on the ottoman prevent the space from being just another ho-hum space. “The contradiction of textures is definitely a signature of mine,” says Kleiner. She took that notion to another level in the wife’s office, combining lacquered blue cabinets with a tufted tangerine leather wall. When it came to establishing the kitchen layout and getting the lighting just right, the team made three-dimensional models of every fixture and mocked up the kitchen cabinets

That commitment extended to Allworth, as he honored the owners’ request for a somewhat rambunctious entry garden. “They gravitated toward the unbridled and wanted lots of hydrangeas and roses—nothing too manicured,” Allworth says. The landscape architect employed boxwoods and bluestone pavers to establish a sense of order. “It was important that the hardscape balance the informal softscape,” he adds. In the end, it was the embrace of the need for balance by all team members that ensured a happy ending. “We honored the historic style of the architecture, but it’s also a welcoming home where nothing is off-limits or precious,” says Kleiner. “By keeping things fresh and young, we created a place that will grow and evolve with the owners over time.”
