With its headquarters and 125,000-square-foot distribution center in New Jersey, an extensive slab gallery and stone shop, eight showrooms and over 200 dealers nationwide, Artistic Tile is living the American design dream. Answering the American call for top quality, customization and the ability to choose materials firsthand, Artistic Tile delivers on these and more with a full-service, one-stopshop experience. “Our production capabilities allow customers complete freedom to design their dream space in a myriad of colors, shapes and patterns,” CEO and founder Nancy Epstein says. “And they will have the highest-quality materials that will fit perfectly in their homes. Clients can select materials in person or watch them being made at our Secaucus facility.”
“Stone is a product of permanence; something that is natural, elegant, lasts forever and cannot be imitated.”
SETTING THE BAR Since 1987, Artistic Tile has served the most discerning consumers of luxury tile and stone products under the guidance of Epstein, who continues to lead the company into the future, along with her sons Michael and Zachary Epstein, and cousins Lauren Cherkas and Joshua Levinson. Today, through its headquarters and its showrooms in New York, New Jersey, San Francisco, Chicago and Dallas, Artistic Tile leads the market, producing designs that define the direction of the tile industry. Exquisite attention to detail ensures a final product that sets the bar for the luxury tile segment. “We are known for our innovative, award-winning designs in stone, glass and other mixed materials,” Epstein says. “We also source the highest-quality materials from all over the world and stock many beautiful natural products.” 1
THE LOCAL DIFFERENCE Artistic Tile uses its New Jersey manufacturing facilities to prototype and test out new ideas, patterns and colors. “We can walk into the production area and use what they are currently making to inform our latest ideas,” Epstein says. “It is a great symbiotic relationship having a variety of machines right next to our design department.”

I
t was the end of New York Fashion Week and the kick-off to the design season when I found myself in the spirited world of designer Johnson Hartig of fashion brand Libertine. We were jammed into BGs, celebrating the launch of his new textile collection for Schumacher, and I got to chatting with Johnson about our shared belief in the importance of beauty; how deeply it can move you and its power as a means of emotional connection. Walking back to my hotel later, I thought about what had first sparked my own appreciation for beauty. Coincidentally, it involved Schumacher and a room in my grandmother’s home. She referred to it as the “black-and-white room,” her guest room where I stayed on my many visits. The ceiling and walls were covered in Shengyou Toile and all of the bed linens were made from the same fabric. A large white basin set upon a chic French antique table held her artistic interior garden, overflowing with lush green plantings. The table was nested into a large bay window that overlooked one of her several outdoor gardens, dotted with color in the spring and summer. That room was magical to me; it was beauty and warmth and love. This season, I encourage you to seek out beauty and hold a memory of it close to you. As Johnson reminded me...it soothes the soul.

FLIGHT of FANCY SURPRISE AND DELIGHT ABOUND IN SACHA WALCKHOFF’S LATEST LIFESTYLE COLLECTIONS FOR CHRISTIAN LACROIX MAISON.

rivolity, joie de vivre and kaleidoscopic colors are synonymous with the Christian Lacroix aesthetic. The same could be said of the brand’s creative director, Sacha Walckhoff, who stepped into the role in 2010 after Lacroix left the House. Over the last decade, Walckhoff has transformed the company from a fashion powerhouse to a leader in the lifestyle and home decor space. “We are one of the only fashion brands who truly succeeded in going into home decor since Versace and Ralph Lauren,” says the creative director. In his latest furnishings collection with Roche Bobois, Walckhoff has stayed true to the brand’s
theatrical roots, dreaming up a fantastical fairy tale world featuring prints of enchanted forests and exotic creatures living in harmony. “The House of Christian Lacroix is as much about contrast as it is about adding surprise and wonder to the narration in any collection,” says Walckhoff. Each piece in the Bois Paradis collection delights with contrasting textures, evocative shapes and geometric patterns, while paying homage to Christian Lacroix’s beginnings. “This collection is a return to the origins of the House and its founding principle: combining the raw with the sophisticated to create an unrivaled aesthetic style,” says Walckhoff. This is exemplified in furnishings like the sumptuous sofa, which features the botanical Cueillette print in a rich velvet. Other items, like the large sixpaneled screen in natural oak with glossy lacquer, serve as an ideal backdrop for the Bois Paradis motif: a silhouetted storybook scene of soaring birds, swinging apes, and lush flora and fauna. Similar dreamscapes appear in Christian Lacroix’s other home collaborations too, all helmed by Walckhoff, such as a fabric and wallpaper line with Designers Guild and, recently, a porcelain tableware
Sacha Walckhoff’s latest designs for Christian Lacroix Maison include the Bois Paradis Bleu Nigelle wallcovering for Designers Guild (shown on previous page), a porcelain tableware collection with Vista Alegre (top, right), and a furnishings line with Roche Bobois (left).
collection with Vista Alegre. Herbariae, inspired by five flowers—the poppy, narcissus, lotus, dahlia and thistle—and designed around two color themes—a graphic black-and-white palette, and a watercolor style that combines soft pinks and yellows with celadon green and peacock blue—brings a neoclassical freshness to the table. “Mixing geometric patterns and floral ones makes each of them much more interesting,” says Walckhoff. “It allows the eye to go from one point to the other when looking at the decor of the room. As Diana Vreeland said, ‘The eye has to travel.’ ” Enhancing the natural environment has been a trademark of the Christian Lacroix brand, and one that Walckhoff embraces. Iconic moments include the Butterfly Parade design created in 2012 that so embodied the frivolities and joie de vivre of Christian Lacroix that it was mistaken for an archival print. “The lesson was that if a design is close enough to the idea people have about the brand, then the design is Lacroix!” remarks Walckhoff. As a multifaceted company, Walckhoff welcomes, and uses to his advantage, a broader vision. “We are not stopped by ideas that an interior brand would not do or have. To be un-experimented, unexpected sometimes helps,” he says. Aspirations include designing a hotel or a restaurant, and with Walckhoff ’s provocative spirit, one can only imagine the mythical fairy-tale world he might dream up. “When your imagination is always on fire, you just have to move forward,” he says. “It is exciting but exhausting sometimes! It keeps me alive.”

TRAITS SCHUMACHER TAKES A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE WITH JOHNSON HARTIG’S FASHION HOUSE, LIBERTINE. WRITTEN BY SHANNON SHARPE PHOTOGRAPHY BY PAUL COSTELLO
Johnson Hartig, founder of the fashion label Libertine, believes clothing should showcase one’s personality and that the same goes for interior design. “The psychology of interiors fascinates me,” he observes. Hartig brings that passion to his new line with Schumacher—a 40-piece collection of wallpaper, fabric and trim showcasing a mix of bold colors and patterns, but with classical influences. “The collection encapsulates him perfectly,” remarks Dara Caponigro, Schumacher’s creative director. “If you were to use it all together, it makes quite the statement. But if you were to pick out separate pieces, they still translate individually.” Caponigro is a longtime fan of Hartig and she saw him as the perfect collaborator with Schumacher. The brand has a history of working with fashion designers, beginning with Paul Poiret in 1930 and later Elsa Schiaparelli and Karl Lagerfeld under the Waverly brand. The Libertine collection is an example of what Caponigro calls the “yin and yang” of the company. “We have beautiful classics,” she says. “But we’re always pushing forward in terms of fashion and fun.” Bringing his own personality to every detail, many of the pieces, like the Punk Rock Mix Tape trim, were inspired by Hartig’s childhood or his everyday life. “Growing up in the ’70s and ’80s, I’ve always been inspired by punk culture,” he says. And the hand-drawn artwork of the Magical Ming Dragon fabric and wallcovering was influenced by Hartig’s own prized Tibetan rug. While his newest designs embody a sharp boldness, they maintain an underlying classic style. For example, the Modern Toile fabric and wallcovering features a contemporary twist on the traditional design using large-scale patterns, and the Java Seas fabric finds its inspiration in Indian batiks from the 16th and 17th centuries. “I can’t wait to see how people use them—even if they use a couple pillows or pieces throughout a room,” Hartig says. “It will be reflective of their personalities, as they are of mine.”
Johnson Hartig photographed in his Los Angeles home with his dog, Terrance. “The way Johnson understands home is the way he understands fashion,” says Dara Caponigro, Schumacher’s creative director. “He has an innate style, innate creativity.”

DESIGNER CRISTINA CELESTINO EMBRACES AN ICONIC FENDI PATTERN IN HER LATEST LAUNCH WITH THE ESTEEMED FASHION HOUSE. WRITTEN BY BRITTANY CHEVALIER MCINTYRE PHOTOGRAPHY BY OMAR SARTOR
Formally trained as an architect, Cristina Celestino’s design direction combines traditional elements connoting heritage with a contemporary aesthetic. As a fellow Italian interior and product designer with a passion for legacy, it was quite fitting that Fendi Casa tapped Celestino for its latest groundbreaking collection, Back Home. Here, Luxe gets the scoop on the inspiration behind the collaboration with the renowned fashion label. You first worked with Fendi designing one-ofa-kind furniture for the Design Miami booth in 2016. What came next? I worked with Fendi on the Omotesando store in Tokyo, where the Design Miami concept was adapted to a pop-up using everything from the furniture to wallcoverings. Some of those pieces—mostly low tables and sofas—were then chosen and produced exclusively for several Fendi boutiques worldwide. Silvia Venturini Fendi trusted in my
vision and thought that my collection represented the Fendi world, but also had strong potential commercially. After suggesting my work to Raffaella Vignatelli, the president of Fendi Casa, this collection, Back Home, was born.
company and an Italian family heritage brand run by women, both Fendi and Fendi Casa, who offered me complete freedom in the design process. We shared a common vision, so it was a very easy collaboration from start to finish.
And the influence? Silvia Venturini Fendi asked me to create a collection of furniture inspired by the Pequin—Fendi’s signature broad stripe pattern—created back in 1987, the same year Fendi Casa launched. As for the inspiration, the overall mood is from the ’70s—and, in particular, the interiors and furniture of Willy Rizzo, a decorator and photographer who worked in Rome in the mid-60s. He mixed refined luxury with a modern vision in a bold and distinct way using very rich material combinations and finishes.
Any favorites? That would be like asking a parent to name a favorite child—it’s impossible! I love different elements in each of the pieces, and I love that they work alone as either statement and iconic pieces, or equally well together.
This is a large collection—14 products! What was it like to work with the Fendi Casa team? It was an honor to collaborate with such an iconic
What were your aspirations for this collection? My hope, as it is with all of my designs, is to create pieces that express a message and a story beyond the aesthetic value. One that people remember. Fendi Casa’s quality is impeccable, so if people choose to pass this furniture down, they can certainly do so, but I never design with those preconceptions. I simply follow my heart and my imagination.

While already established in the fashion world before arriving at the House of Chanel in 1983, it was Karl Lagerfeld’s 30-plus-year tenure at the helm of the French label that solidified his place in fashion history. The “more-is-more” attitude of the ’80s saw women dressing in bold patterns and figure-defining silhouettes, an attitude that’s seeing a resurgence today, where flaunting one’s personal style is celebrated more than ever.

CLEAN LINES CALVIN KLEIN, NEW YORK 1994

Minimalist dressers can thank Calvin Klein for the ultimate referendum in restraint, and for giving us Kate Moss, too. Looking to neutral tones, genderbending shapes and simple silhouettes that defined his early 1990s collections (and influenced the overall sleek approach to female urban dressing of that era), the brand’s ethos of simplicity is just as applicable in one’s wardrobe as it is in the home.

Today, the kitchen is the main hub of the house, so set the scene with an oversize vase brimming with greenery. For this space, Devin Kirk, vice president of merchandising for Jayson Home, chose olive tree branches, which can last for weeks. Previous page: A gorgeous floral arrangement is a must when entertaining in your dining room. “It anchors the space, sets the tone and can be a great conversation starter,� says Kirk, who styled the display with anemones, sedum, dahlias and magnolia branches in a generous white vase.

For a row house renovation in Chicago’s historic Hyde Park, Rebekah Zaveloff’s clients requested one element straightaway: a woodburning fireplace in the kitchen. The family has a summer home in Vermont with an outdoor pizza oven and wanted to bring a similar vibe to this residence. Thankfully, Zaveloff, the designer and cofounder of KitchenLab Interiors, was completely on board. “It’s all about creating spaces that feel a certain way, evoke emotion or a sense of nostalgia,” Zaveloff explains. In this case, the homeowners desired a kitchen that would recall vacation all year long. kitchenlabinteriors.com The fireplace is such a defining feature. How did you decide on its placement within the kitchen? I know from working in old homes that adding fireplaces can be a very challenging undertaking. There is a lot to consider, including chimney size, structural issues, converting gas lines, ventilation and so on. Originally, we had designed the fireplace to go on the back wall between the windows but when we demolished the space, we found an old chimney in the corner and the location really ended up being a happy accident.

Tell us about your approach to pattern. The patterned concrete floor tiles make the space here! In so many kitchens we incorporate wood floors, as people are nervous to commit to pattern, but the wood on wood can start to blend; it can be challenging to create contrast. Here, the tile adds a dose of drama but isn’t overwhelming. I did several versions of the design until we came up with something everyone loved with just the right balance of black and white. 100 / LUXESOURCE.COM
How is the dining room used? This space certainly changed once we opened it up to the kitchen. Before, the two rooms were separated by a large volume that housed a pantry and powder room; it felt choppy. Now, everything flows together nicely. So I decided to do away with dedicated dining, living and hall areas and instead put seating everywhere. I believe if you make spaces welcoming, people will use them!
Extra seating areas are always smart, and this cozy space in front of the fireplace houses Jayson Home’s Melrose Chair in spice velvet with a Siren Song pillow. Custom Villa Lagoon Tile, selected by designer Rebekah Zaveloff, decorates the floor.

Think outside the box when it comes to the mantel. Fig branches provide an interesting pop of green while a marbleized teapot adds unexpected charm and a pretty silhouette. Few things are more important than good lighting and a scattering of candlesticks ensures the festivities will continue by candlelight, says Kirk.

LEAVE FORMALITIES AT THE DOOR: TODAY’S TAKE ON HAUTE HOSTING CALLS FOR INTIMACY, INDIVIDUALITY AND JOIE DE VIVRE. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY GRACE BEULEY HUNT
LIGHTEN UP Silver polish, starched linens, seafood forks: Mercifully, such ceremony is no longer a must. As Luxe uncovers, it’s the entirely personal and surprising experiences that leave a lasting impression. Over the next few pages, designers and creatives weigh in on the conversation, encouraging us to pair heirloom dishware with bold linens and wild vines, to outfit guest rooms with raucous minibars, and by all means, to mingle beyond the bounds of the living and dining areas, as evidenced by this sumptuous yet laid-back music room by interior designer Heather Hilliard. Mind you, this “new” approach to fine entertaining isn’t so much new as a swinging of the pendulum: “Mrs. Astor was known for her infamous Midnight Suppers,” recalls event designer Rebecca Gardner. “These were intimate after-parties where she served ridiculously casual food like spaghetti and meatballs on her finest china. The beginning of high-low!” Take a page from the infamous socialite’s book, and toast to the season.

HISTORY REPEATS In Victorian-era England, drawing rooms were a prerequisite for any fine home, providing an elegant hub to “withdraw” for post-dinner merriment. Fast-forward a century and change, and the room’s intentionality is enjoying a renaissance, thanks to reinvigorated demand for defined entertaining spaces. Here, Steven Harris Architects and Rees Roberts + Partners adapted the concept on the parlor floor of a historic 1856 Chelsea townhouse, deftly eschewing any stuffy connotations in the process. “We reinterpreted the home’s original Italianate revival moldings into a more streamlined and proportionate version that still held the intended gravitas of the room,” explains Kevin Blusewicz, senior associate at Steven Harris Architects. Joined by convivial seating arrangements, a “discrete yet assertive” color scheme and impressively scaled new windows that bathe the room in sunlight, the grand bones appear to soften and relax. reesroberts.com

THREE A-LIST EVENT DESIGNERS SOUND OFF ON THE SIGNATURE PARTY TRICK THAT WILL KEEP GUESTS BUZZING.
REBECCA GARDNER
Founder and Creative Director, Houses & Parties Reimagine the classics. I like to set the table with my best pieces, most of which belonged to my grandmother, but I avoid being stuffy. The key is to be a little irreverent with anything fancy. One way to do this is to layer patterns on top of each other, like a floral Meissen dinner plate on top of a chintz fabric. I prefer big, luscious flowers that are just about to fall apart and unruly vines that twist around place settings. You can also repurpose: consider fingers bowls for ice cream sundaes and nut dishes for colorful candies. If you make the table a little wild and naughty, guests will behave accordingly. rebecca-gardner.com

SOLO SHOW
From industry galas to society weddings, a distinct pattern in floral design has emerged: single-bloom arrangements. Lush and unfussy, this shift is actualized by Poshan, a new Manhattan-based floral atelier. With Art Deco-inspired linen packaging and a mission of celebrating the singular beauty of rare varieties, Poshan has become a fast favorite of the fashion crowd. Here, founder Wu York shares his approach. poshanflowers.com Inspiration behind Poshan: I couldn’t find floral arrangements that I loved, so I created them. I use single flowers in powerfully simple arrangements, without any “filler” or greens. I base the overall sculptural shape on what’s available at the market each morning. Clients are asking for: English roses! And seasonal flowers, like tree peonies and fresh French lavender. Floral wisdom to live by: Less is more. Focus on quality flowers displayed in special, handmade vessels. People appreciate these two elements now more than ever.

BRYAN RAFANELLI
Founder & Chief Creative Officer, Rafanelli Events; author of A Great Party (Rizzoli) Play with scale. I encourage my clients to think big, even in an intimate space. Of course, this means keeping things tasteful and proportionate, but larger design elements will act as conversation starters and add energy to your event. When a room fills with people, many traditional touches, like linens, florals and candlelight, are ultimately obscured by bodies. Size makes a statement and we talk often about “shoulders and above” at my company. You always want a larger visual element that will live above the crowd! rafanellievents.com
COLLEEN KENNEDY COHEN
Founder and Creative Director, Colleen Kennedy Cohen LLC Make it interactive. Guests like to participate in something, so I try to create an element that allows them to engage with the event design. Consider styling a fabulous dessert cart with various sweets, and allow guests to handselect their final course. My go-tos include chocolate mousse, almond nougat, beautiful holiday cookies, ribbon candies, mini pies, gumdrops (Lord Jones CBD gumdrops are always a hit) and roasted chestnuts for cracking. I love a tableside surprise, especially around the holidays. colleenkennedycohen.com

Boutique establishments brimming with personal touches and memorable amenities have fast become the new wave of luxury hotels. So, where could be a more prescient well to draw inspiration from for our own guest quarters this season? We turned to the riotously beautiful NOLA hot spot Maison de la Luz, designed by Atelier Ace and Studio Shamshiri, for a lesson in idiosyncratic design and Southern hospitality. maisondelaluz.com
⊳ DOWN TIME Thrice daily meals together can test even the dearest of friends and family, which makes the integration of a private guest nook for morning coffees or solo meals a bonus for all. Let Maison de la Luz’s intimate window adjacent seating areas, each equipped with loungefriendly seating and copper-topped “séance tables” etched in astrological motifs, remind that this setup can nest happily in guest accommodations of all shapes and sizes.
IN GOOD SPIRITS ⊲ Throughout the hotel’s 36 king rooms, a festive tone is set by the trading of nightstands for decadent bedside minibars. A selection of top-shelf libations— amongst them, Hibiki Japanese Harmony Whiskey and Ruinart Brut Rosé—sit atop a bespoke bar cabinet, which in turn encloses an artful collection of highball and champagne glasses. Brass ice buckets in the shape of a pineapple cheekily harken back to the hotel’s overarching design goal: moments of rebellion within the envelope of traditional hospitality.
▲ DETAIL ORIENTED When it came to conceptualizing the en suites, Studio Shamshiri principal designer Pamela Shamshiri “leaned into classic hotel iconography: waffle robes, incredible towels and all-stone bathrooms.” But luxuriant amenities extend beyond these focal details to smaller nuances of the bathroom design. Note, for example, the patinaed silver vanity set by Pigeon and Poodle and the merchandized curation of Grown Alchemist toiletries; chic and considered final flourishes for any guest setup.

DOUBLE ACT Litchfield, Connecticut-based architect and designer Julia Metcalf is not a fan of the phrase “she shed,” but admits it applies to this jewel box study, which moonlights as a chic cocktail lounge. “The client wanted a place to hide away, to work and to entertain in privacy,” says Metcalf. To welcome the addition of company, a traditional desk chair was replaced with a custom settee, and the Zuber wallpaper-clad bar area holds a rainbow of vintage glassware (sourced at the Brimfield Antique Show) set atop highgloss, piano-finish built-ins concealing a petite wine refrigerator. With the stashing of a laptop, the glamorous work space takes on the persona of an intimate speakeasy where only a chosen few gain admittance. juliametcalfdesigns.com

INTO the WOODS A RURAL PROPERTY WITH TOWERING OAKS INSPIRES A STYLISH FAMILY HOME IN CALIFORNIA. WRITTEN BY KIMBERLY OLSON / PHOTOGRAPHY BY MATTHEW MILLMAN
LUXESOURCE.COM / 119
T
urning off a busy road in Woodside, California, a pair of house hunters drove over a bridge spanning a creek and discovered themselves a world away in a rural setting dotted with majestic oak trees. They were immediately enchanted and, as the husband says, “We felt like we were entering our own peaceful retreat, leaving the Silicon Valley hustle and bustle behind.” The decision to purchase the property and build a new home was an easy one. With a 3-year-old son and twins on the way, they envisioned a casual, functional dwelling that met their growing family’s needs while allowing for entertaining on a large scale (their guest list for summer dinner parties can stretch to 150). They hired designer David Oldroyd and the team at Walker Warner Architects to create a fresh, modern home incorporating living spaces with the peaceful setting to offer seamless indoor-outdoor connections. While the home’s clean lines and a restrained material palette of cedar, metal and concrete gracefully weave the new house to its site, its sloped roof references the property’s past life as a farm. “This is horse country, and we wanted the new home to look like it belonged here,” the husband says. “It’s a modern take on a farmhouse.” The home is organized into public and private zones, with everyday living spaces easing into one another. “The back entry brings the family into the mudroom and the heart of the home—their home offices, the kitchen and the family room—which are adjacent to the pool and terrace,” says architect Mike McCabe. Meanwhile, the formal entry flows past an open staircase to the glasslined dining area and living room. Upstairs is home to a family room and bedrooms, while the light-filled lower level is a “fun zone” with a rec room, playroom and bar. “The private parts of the house are about retreat
“THE HOME’S TRANSPARENCY AND RELATIONSHIP TO THE LAND REFLECTS THE SITE’S EXPANSIVENESS.” –MIKE MCCABE
and family time, while the public parts allow the family to mingle with their guests and enjoy all the site has to offer,” McCabe explains. “The intent was to provide a home that lives small day to day for the family, but can expand to accommodate bigger gatherings.” Designer David Oldroyd played with the architectural forms, at times choosing furniture and accessories to mimic the home’s crisp lines while also bringing in more organic shapes as a counterpoint. “Almost every piece of furniture has an angle or slope,” he says. “But more natural shapes—such as the curvy chair legs or pebbleshaped poufs—bring in some softness.” While the couple appreciates beautiful furnishings and textiles, livability was key. “I wanted our friends to come over and help themselves to the fridge and not feel uncomfortable putting their feet up on the sofa,” the wife says. The home was designed with active kids in mind. To illustrate the point, the couple told the designer about a Tahoe vacation with friends where all of the children ended up in one room for a movie night. “Afterward, it looked as if a bunch of 4- to 6-year-olds had a wild party—furniture was overturned and juice boxes were strewn everywhere,” the wife remembers. She provided photos of the aftermath to Oldroyd to demonstrate what furniture might need to endure. His response, “I grew up in a family of five boys—I can do this!” He met the challenge with durable fabrics, such as wipeable vinyl upholstery on kitchen barstools. When choosing colors, Oldroyd looked to the landscape. “The palette is inspired by what you see through the windows: earth tones, green grass and blue sky,” he says. At the wife’s request, bolder color pops were incorporated. “She likes lavender, and there’s lavender in the garden, so we brought that hue inside,” Oldroyd says. “The dining room chairs also have a lavender shade in them, as do the poufs in the entry. The shocking green banquette was a direct response to her request for color.” The property borders an open preserve, so landscape designer Bernard Trainor gently transitioned the manmade garden into the natural surroundings to trick the eye, making the property appear to go on forever. As with the architecture, Trainor’s approach to design was to deftly “thread the needle” between the oaks. “Closer to the house, the hardscape and plantings reflect the house’s architectural shapes—more linear,” he says. “As you move farther away, into the oak woodland, they get wilder.” Today, the family appreciates the quiet and convivial moments of magic the home and its setting offer. “When the sun streams through the windows, you’re wrapped in light that’s filtered by the surrounding oaks,” Oldroyd says. The wife adds, “The house works for both kids and adult gatherings—we just had 60 fifth graders in our pool and for my husband’s birthday, we had six couples over for a nice dinner. Our vision came to be.”

rooklyn artist Stephen Sollins frequently works with old textiles—the quilts, tablecloths and samples that populate flea markets and eBay auctions. “I’m interested in domestic textiles that show traces of people’s use,” he notes. “I’m definitely drawn to objects that have a history. It’s the touch of a thousand hands that gives a great patina.” Stephen and his partner, a writer, saw that same appeal in a 19th-century townhouse in Brooklyn that had undergone multiple renovations yet still retained many of its original architectural details. They enlisted designer Amy Lau, who had worked with them on previous homes, to enhance those details while letting in more natural light to illuminate their treasured artworks and collections. “The second I walked in, I was like, ‘You have this huge opportunity,’ ” recalls the designer. “We wanted it to feel loftier and more open.” As part of a whole-house renovation, Lau collaborated with architect Michael Schmitt and project architect Melanie Hollas, adding large glass openings across the rear façades of the lower floors. On the parlor level, dividing walls were removed entirely so that sunlight would permeate all the way from the lush, newly enclosed backyard to the tall, street-facing windows.

In the whitewashed living room, a pair of Mongolian fur armchairs by Franco Albini with Franca Helg for Cassina provide an optimal perch for enjoying the room’s artwork. The pitcher atop the mantle is an original 1950s Pablo Picasso for Madoura and the painting above is a rare Jasper Johns.
Lau was particularly inspired by Amsterdam’s old row houses for the design, specifying bright, white gallery walls with dark, contrasting flooring throughout the home’s four levels. “I wanted it to look like everything was really grounded—that’s why the darker color was chosen,” she says. “I don’t know how many colors I tested until I got it just right.” That new architectural envelope elevates the home’s original trim and moldings, marble fireplaces and freshly exposed ceiling beams. “We kept anything of intrinsic value that pertained to historical references, and we stuck to that vernacular throughout,” Lau explains. The couple added choice architectural references of their own, too: Every interior door—11 in total—is a salvaged, old-growth cypress door from New Orleans, where the couple used to live. “It’s quite common in New Orleans to see a house with raw, salvaged antique doors, and we loved that,” Stephen says. “So when it was time to outfit this house, we coordinated measurements with what our friends could find down there. It took a few Saturdays of hunting around.” Next, he spent many sessions online sourcing black porcelain knobs, hardware and hinges. “I ended up buying four times as much as I needed, just to get the right parts,” he admits. Taking his clients’ lead with the interior doors, Schmitt stripped and retained many of the home’s original features, like the enormous wood moldings around the parlor floor windows. “We only left the original stuff exposed,” says the architect. “If it was a new detail, it was painted. You have to find a medium between perfectly redone and raw, as that approach brings out the soul of the space.”
With its timeworn architectural grounding established, Lau then furnished the home to align with her clients’ collections, which include works by Jasper Johns, Richard Tuttle and Jenny Holzer, along with vintage textiles, sets of Depression glass and inherited majolica dishware. “They both love and appreciate warm modernism—that’s where the balance is,” Lau says of her client’s well-articulated tastes. Walking that line between antique and contemporary, she chose sculptural Serge Mouille lighting, midcentury pieces by Charlotte Perriand and Jean Prouvé, and other furnishings that invoke the French craftsmanship of the 1940s and ’50s. But there is one starkly modern contribution that seems to float within the historic parlor’s walls: The sleek white lacquer and walnut modular kitchen that Lau and Schmitt
designed and Brooklyn millworker Joseph Fino fabricated. “We built mockups of that volume with two-by-fours and paper to decide the height, width and depth,” Schmitt says. Adds Lau, “It serves as a room divider where the light can still pour in.” While the clever partition houses the kitchen’s appliances on one side, the other softly defines the living room—and features a piece by the homeowner himself. That artwork, along with one in the master bedroom, comes from Stephen’s 2002-2004 “Elegy” series, which translates the stitching of sentimental vintage embroidery into an entirely new language. One might argue that the same could be said of this renovation for his family of four. “We kept as many original details as we could,” Lau notes, “and then we modernized.”
In the cozy upstairs family room, Lau collaborated with André Joyau to design and fabricate bookcases framed in steel with free-edge walnut shelves. The sofa is by Antonio Citterio for Flexform and the 1950s Caviuna rosewood coffee table is by Giuseppe Scapinelli through 1stdibs.
Lau chose black accents, such as a pendant light by Kalmar Werkstätten from The Future Perfect in the family room, to complement the vintage black doorknobs and hardware her client sourced for his salvaged antique doors.

PAPIER-MACHE AND A SENSE OF HUMOR PROVE A WINNING COMBINATION FOR ARTIST MARK GAGNON. WRITTEN BY MIKKI BRAMMER / PHOTOGRAPHY BY OBI OKOLO
P “WHAT I REALLY ENJOY ABOUT PAPIER-MACHE IS TAKING SOMETHING KIND OF LOWBROW AND TURNING IT INTO A REALLY BEAUTIFUL OBJECT.”
ainter and sculptor Mark Gagnon says his childhood passion for art was so strong that his mother—who kept an “immaculate” house— allocated an entire spare room for work on messier projects. “Needless to say, we were both happy with the decision,” he recalls. After studying art at Ohio State University, Gagnon moved to New York to become a painter, later “stumbling” into a career in book illustration. But ultimately his love for that most messy of crafts—papier-mache—came full circle. Today, Gagnon works primarily in the discipline, creating sculptures, wall reliefs, urns and vases, and even elaborate window displays for the likes of Bergdorf Goodman. “What I really enjoy about papiermache is taking something kind of lowbrow and turning it into a really beautiful object,” he says. “It gives it some street cred, and then, when I put my spin on it, it ends up with a finished feel and a slight sense of humor.” Initially, Gagnon would fashion his sculptures by using an existing product—say, a plastic urn from Home Depot—as a mold and covering it. But ultimately, he felt those pieces ended up reading homogenized. “I started playing around with different methods, and what really made the leap for me is when I started using rib vaulting,” he explains. This technique involves cutting out little “ribs” and gluing them around a cylinder. “At this point, I can pretty much make anything I see out of the method. It allows me to keep everything super light, and it’s very inexpensive and durable.” To create the shell, Gagnon next applies layers of newspaper using a clay-based, ready-made paste. “I would say one hefty section of The New York Times makes a small urn,” he estimates. “It doesn’t take that much paper—the trick is keeping it constantly overlapping, which makes it strong.” These days, says Gagnon, clients tend to prefer a matte finish, which he achieves by using a flat black house paint as his base. And while occasionally he’ll employ resin to “glitz up” certain pieces, more often he uses the shiny medium to line the insides of his vases. After a fruitful conversation with florist Emily Thompson, Gagnon devised this solution, which, aided by a glass insert, renders the paper vessels fit to hold flowers. Recently, this delightfully paradoxical dialogue between papier-mache and botanicals has expanded further, thanks to collaborations between the artist and his partner, florist Django Voris. (The two are opening a concept shop where Gagnon’s works will mingle with Django’s florals.) While sometimes Gagnon sets out with this kind of specific vision in mind for his creations, other times he simply “lets his inner artist out,” allowing things to evolve organically. “To be honest, there are a lot of duds,” he laughs. “But then, there are a lot of things that lead to big successes.”

F
ound in the charming Old Village of Mount Pleasant, just over the Cooper River from Charleston, is a historic house that bewitched Elizabeth Stuart well before she even stepped inside. “That day, the magnolias were filled with enormous white blooms, and if you’re a Southerner, that hooks you right there,” recounts the interior designer, who’s also maintained an eponymous home boutique in the area for 23 years. That was back in the mid-1990s, when Stuart and her growing family were still living in Houston. Feeling a pull to return to her native South Carolina, Stuart had asked an area real estate agent to show her properties. That query led them to a Lowcountry rarity: a Gothic Revival residence nestled amid the thick overgrowth of a former fishing village on Shem Creek. Built in 1850, the home was later used as a makeshift Civil War hospital before becoming tattered by elapsing time. “We walked into this spooky, falling-apart place and all you could see was history, the shadows of what used to be,” Stuart recalls. In the dining room, for example, a pane of original glass diamond-etched with the year 1876 let her imagination run wild with speculation about the home’s former inhabitants. Despite its run-down condition, Stuart recognized its enviable bones: tall ceilings, original hardwood floors, 12-foot cypress doors. And hidden behind one of them was the intoxicating sight of Charleston Harbor. “As soon as I saw that view, I was just done—I needed to have it,” says Stuart, who convinced her husband to buy the house and relocate the family from Texas to South Carolina. She then enlisted a close friend, architect Beau Clowney, to help her renovate and expand the forlorn residence. General contractor Richard “Moby” Marks was retained to ensure the home’s details would be restored with the utmost historical accuracy and that the seamless addition—complete with a wood-paneled library and a kitchen niche built from authentic Old Charleston brick—would have hallmarks faithful to the original structure. To shore up the property’s sweeping, 3-acre grounds, Stuart called on landscape architect Sheila Wertimer to distill her vision. Accomplished in phases over 20 years with the aid of additional design collaborators and subcontractors, the compound came together with a trio of koi ponds, a conservatory to house Stuart’s thriving collection of orchids, a wood-shuttered “shade pavilion” and a network of slate paths connecting “hidden garden rooms.”
In the center hall of interior designer Elizabeth Stuart’s Gothic Revival home outside Charleston is a grouping of vintage French bamboo and antique red velvet chairs sourced from Stuart’s boutique in Mount Pleasant. The painting is by local artist John Carroll Doyle, procured from his signature Charleston gallery. Architect Beau Clowney and general contractor Richard Marks contributed to the home’s original renovation in the late 1990s.

Opposite: The octagonal, cypresspaneled library—one of the home’s newer additions—also serves as the family’s “garden room” (windows overlook the garden and harbor beyond). The antique blue velvet armchairs are Italian and the club chairs are vintage.

“For an addition to look organic, it’s necessary to use the vernacular of the time,” Stuart says of the historically rooted cooking space. “I wanted it to look like the fireplace in a cook’s kitchen that I just happened to slide a Wolf stove into.” The French farm table and vintage chairs—half of them upholstered in Katie Leede & Company’s Shade of Sycamore floral linen—are from Stuart’s boutique.
“To me, gardening is just interior design—but outside,” explains the interior designer, who extended the footprint of the home’s original porch via a brick patio shrouded in an iron trellis. In turn, her efforts established a welcoming space for outdoor dining, entertaining and even a makeshift office. “Porches are very important in the South; it’s where I spend most of my time,” notes Stuart, who recently teamed up with general contractor Bob Fleming to restore it. Previously, the pair had renovated several bedrooms and bathrooms and replaced most windows and doors. “I was careful not to touch any of the original 1850 glass,” Stuart assures. In the intervening years, Stuart’s interiors have become just as thoughtfully layered. “Any designer will tell you: Our homes are always changing; it’s a curse,” she jokes. Stuart’s evolving tastes—coupled with a lifestyle change (all three children are grown and out of the nest)—meant she could finally indulge certain design whims; namely, her passion for white. Creating a crisp backdrop for an ever-evolving collection of art, Stuart painted nearly every room the same untinged shade, allowing
her acquisitions, such as an oil portrait by John Carroll Doyle that now commands the keeping room, to take center stage. Stuart also took the opportunity to refresh her upholstery with luxurious new fabrics—“wonderful thick linens, velvets and mohair, sourced from places like London and Morocco”—a majority of them in shades of, well, white. Contemporary additions like Eames loungers and Lucite lamps complement more storied finds: a ceramic Dalmatian Stuart acquired in Cortona, Italy, a hand-carved console picked up in Paris and beloved collections of vintage Murano crystal boxes in lavender, garnet and “midcentury green.” To celebrate her home’s most recent reinvention—and to inspire inevitable future updates—Stuart, who loves to entertain, heeded the wisdom of a family friend. Her advice? “Darling, have a party—have a big, fun party, and in the morning, where your furniture is placed is how it should have been in the first place.” Says Stuart: “She was exactly right. People will pull up chairs where they want to talk. And that’s what makes a home not only beautiful, but comfortable.”
Adjoining the kitchen, the keeping room showcases another John Carroll Doyle painting—this one depicting “Daisy, a woman I loved and respected very much,” says Stuart, who commissioned the painting just after Daisy died. The club chairs are upholstered in a cream-colored chenilleblend fabric from Kravet. Chelsea Textiles’ embroidered Tamara linen covers the accent pillows.

Stuart created an intimate design moment in the master bedroom by pairing an antique ladies’ desk she picked up in Paris with a vintage Italian barrel-back chair. A gilt Louis Philippe mirror and carved alabaster lamp add gravitas to the setup.
Clad in a graphic green wallpaper by British brand Lewis & Wood, the master bathroom features an antique painting and a Louis XVI armchair covered in Pierre Frey’s Fleur De Rosee silk. The rich wood floors are reclaimed antique heart pine, and the satin brass drawer pulls are by Colonial Bronze, sourced through Bird Decorative Hardware and Bath.

Left: Landscape architect Sheila Wertimer collaborated on the home’s lush grounds—complete with extended outdoor living spaces, “hidden garden rooms” and raised brick planting beds—back when Stuart first purchased the home, then worked with the interior designer to update the compound intermittently over the years. Opposite: Part of a later addition to the property, the conservatory was built by Amdega, a beloved maker near London.
