ANTENNAE UP!

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

EDITOR’S LETTER

JOHN POMP

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

memo SHARON SUMMER PUBLISHER

I’ve always loved summer, as so much about this season makes me happy. What’s special about it at Luxe Interiors + Design is the Hamptons 50 issue, which focuses on that great summer playground on the East End of Long Island where so many of our readers kick back and enjoy the season. Pair it with your favorite rosé and enjoy! We celebrated many events this season. First, at Lillian August’s Norwalk showroom, we chatted with Thomas O’Brien about his professional journey. We also sponsored ASID NY Metro Chapter’s Designer Educational Summit 2016 at the A+D Building. Plus, at Country Carpet’s Syosset showroom, Luxe’s president, Alan Blaustein, shared social media tips, and both Fabricut and Scalamadré showcased their 2016 collections. We then partied with Simon’s Hardware & Bath for the relaunch of its 3rd Avenue showroom, and hosted the opening night of the Greenwich Art Gala. Another highlight was our partnership with The Decorators Club; Luxe Editor in Chief Pamela Jaccarino produced two Master Class videos featuring Bunny Williams and Jamie Drake. The event was created to inspire the next generation of designers and raise funds for the Scholarship Awards. Enjoy!

CONTRIBUTORS

BEHIND THE SCENES GET TO KNOW A FEW OF OUR CONTRIBUTORS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS THEY TALK ALL THINGS DESIGN. PRODUCED BY SARAH RAMIREZ

LAURE JOLIET

Photographer / Los Angeles

KIMBERLY OLSON Writer / San Francisco

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

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

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

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

DRAWN TO SCALE

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

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

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

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

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

GUIDE & SEEK

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

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

Lorfords Antiques in Tetbury, England, houses 45 dealers in two repurposed World World II aircraft hangars.

RADAR / TROVE

Lorfords Antiques Tetbury, England

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

Paul De Grande Snellegem, Belgium

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

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

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

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

Bie Baert Brecht, Belgium

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

Clockwise from far left: Collected vignettes like this one are plentiful at Monique Relander’s shoppable home. Anouk Beerents’ charming shop in Amsterdam features a bevy of gilded mirrors. Truly unique finds are around every corner at Espace Nord Ouest. An antique clock at Lorfords Antiques.

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

JVR108

Antwerp, Belgium

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

Monique Relander Schoten, Belgium

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

Anouk Beerents Amsterdam, Netherlands

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

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

Espace Nord Ouest Bondues, France

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

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

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY LISA BINGHAM DEWART

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

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

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

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

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

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

@mavisstudio

WHO: Mavis is a one-woman design studio that serves up handmade housewares, furniture and jewelry from a creative space in maker-friendly Asbury Park, New Jersey. Behind the lens is the brand’s cheerful founder, Stephanie Leopold, who imbues her colorful minimalism in every frame. WHAT: Potted plants take center stage in Leopold’s dreamy feed, namely in her miniscule, candy-colored wooden bubble planters for which she’s known and which make many an appearance throughout. Expect a scroll of wispy succulents and mini fronds alongside carefully curated images of her coast-to-coast shop visits.

IN HER WORDS: “The ocean is an absolutely amazing place to go for inspiration, and we are so fortunate to live here. If you need to clear your head or get some air, a short walk to the ocean is the perfect answer. In addition to what immediately surrounds us, we are also a close drive to state parks and big cities. There is always movement. Staying stagnant is just boring.”

BLUEPRINT 70 VESTRY

One of the top priorities of any good interior designer or architect is to reflect a sense of place in his or her projects. The design of Tribeca’s new 14-story boutique luxury residential building, 70 Vestry, does just that. Rather than erecting a sky-high glass tower, architect Robert A.M. Stern opted instead for a warm, limestone-clad structure, which will blend seamlessly into its old-New York surroundings. While the stone façade, decorative metalwork and oversize casement windows will lend the exterior of 70 Vestry its nostalgic charm, the interiors will reflect its new residents’ downtown cool. “In every room, there is an exciting tension between a clean, minimalist aesthetic and a more classic feel,” describes the interior designer, Daniel Romualdez, who graciously appointed each dwelling with a palette of mid-toned woods, polished stone—like marble and onyx—and shiny bronze to offset the crisp, modern lines throughout. 70vestry.com

THE INSIDER PARIS FORINO

Manhattan-based interior designer Paris Forino moved to New York from her native Australia in 2003. “There is a great design culture and aesthetic in Australia,” says Forino. “Aussies have wonderful style and a bold sense of color.” These, in turn, are the founding principles of Forino’s firm, which launched in 2012. The esteemed designer is known for her luxe designs that often include modern elements with subtle references to history, always with an air of understated glamour. Recently, Forino has been celebrated for her art-filled and elegantly rendered design of The Gem Hotel in Chelsea—and the residences at The Corner House in Stockholm. Here, she shares what’s on her agenda in the Big Apple this season. parisforinodesign.com What’s intriguing you in the world of design? It’s always fascinating to see designers mixing unexpected styles and time periods. I think design is heading toward light, pared-down palettes with opulent details—a carefully curated mixture of modern and classic—and consumers are being drawn to elegant, more timeless, quality pieces. Who is having a serious moment right now? Parisian architect Joseph Dirand is gaining some serious steam as of late, and, of course, the lighting visionaries at Apparatus are getting their share of well-deserved accolades. Favorite palettes: The best color of the moment is defi nitely blush; as for material, I’d go with a beautifully finished brass. I also hope that classic color combinations, like black-and-white, never tire. Source of inspiration: I love looking at how fashion designers put palettes together, especially at haute couture shows. The pieces that walk down those runways are works of art. Up next? We are working on some exciting product lines and expanding our portfolio of projects from New York to Miami, and Toronto to Bermuda!

TALKING SHOP WITH JASON MILLER

ROLL & HILL

This past spring, Lauren Larson and Christian Swafford, the edgy duo behind Manhattan-based Material Lust, opened a much-buzzed-about installation space on the Lower East Side called the Annex. Not only does the studio display the pair’s provocative approach to interiors with an experiential, seemingly lived-in exhibit space, but it features their complete body of work—as well as new collections and artist collaborations that will be introduced intermittently. “Every four to six months, we will be changing up the installations at Annex,” explains Larson, “and in between shows, there will be artist takeovers to celebrate the new crop of designers that are looking at more traditional and old-world ways of producing objects. They are seeking out experienced craftspeople that make fine furniture and collaborating instead of trying to make everything themselves. It is endlessly inspiring.” The space is open for visitors Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., or by appointment. material-lust.com

OPEN HOUSE

This summer, we see frequent design-minded day trips to Connecticut in the future thanks to a slew of home décor shops that have popped up from Greenwich to Westport. An early arrival to the scene is Terri Ricci’s eponymous studio in Norwalk’s Wall Street Design District, Terri Ricci Interiors (10 Knight St.); expect a warm, inviting browse of bespoke furniture, lighting, accessories and artwork. In Greenwich, be sure to swing by Copious Row’s (86 Greenwich Ave.) new lifestyle outpost and peruse David Chines’ curated roster of designers; and for a much-needed pop of color, head to Oomph (21 West Putnam Ave.) at its first brick-and-mortar location. If you’re in Westport, Serena & Lily’s (35 Elm St.) brand-new design shop (below), housed in a three-story classic Queen Anne Victorian home, is a must-see.

SHOPS + SHOWROOMS When did you open? We just launched our new SoHo store at 3 Mercer St. this May; it’s our second location but our first showroom. We wanted to create an easy, accessible home for architects and designers to view our products with their design teams and clients, as well as open our doors to the general public. Why SoHo? It’s a prime New York cultural hub—industries cross-pollinate here, and we wanted to be part of that. Describe the space. I want people who visit the showroom to feel like they’ve found something hidden—a secret in the middle of Manhattan. So, I was looking for a place where the street grid was interrupted and for a building that felt intimate. What I found was a small threestory building where Howard St. dead-ends into Mercer St., and I think it does exactly what I was hoping. Tell us about the showroom’s design. We completely renovated the building. There is literally nothing on the inside that was left untouched from its original iteration. The idea was to create a variety of rooms and spaces designed to show lighting in different environments. The first floor is more like your traditional gallery (without the stuffiness art galleries usually foster). The second floor is the “library” floor, and the third floor has a sexy 1970s vibe. What’s up next? We give birth to our first accessories line in 2016: a collection that consists of various candle holders and tabletop lighting pieces designed by James Killinger, Formafantasma, Lindsey Adelman, Karl Zahn and myself. rollandhill.com

DATE BOOK ELANA NOY

Brooklyn-based Elana Noy is the interdisciplinary designer behind the lifestyle brand Malka Dina, which she describes as, “an umbrella under which I can present my home goods, jewelry, designs and artistic endeavors.” As a fiber arts major in college, Noy played around with metalsmithing and pottery, and after taking an especially inspiring ceramics class post-graduation, she fell in love. Now, her breadth of work spans creative categories and feels more like a cohesive fine art collection than the result of happenstance. Where her ceramic pieces boast bizarre textures and groovy marbled surfaces, her jewelry collection reads a bit more straightforward. Recently, she moved into her own studio in Sunset Park. “People here really value handmade goods and their support is what makes it possible to grow,” she notes of the ever-creative borough. Below, Noy shares her favorite local haunts for the maker-minded. malka-dina.com 9 a.m. Start at MatchaBar in Williamsburg, and then, sit and drink your tall glass of green goodness in beautiful McCarren Park. 10 a.m. Walk over to Five Leaves for brunch.

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

ISLAND TIME

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

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

PARADISE FOUND SALA AYUTTHAYA: AYUTTHAYA, THAILAND

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

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

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

“

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

”

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

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

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

DACOR

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

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

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

“

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

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

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

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

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

“

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

”

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

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

PARIS CERAMICS

Q+A WITH RICHARD ABBOTT OF PARIS CERAMICS

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

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

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

ZEPHYR VENTILATION

“

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

”

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

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

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

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

166 / LUXESOURCE.COM

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

Houston-based architect Mihai Angelescu and designer Rodica Mirea captured a look of timeless elegance when imagining this villa located on the private Bahamian island resort of Over Yonder Cay.

MANDARIN ORIENTAL BARCELONA, SPAIN

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

AMAN

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

ESTANCIA VIK

JOSE IGNACIO, URUGUAY DESIGN FEATURES OF NOTE: When renowned Norwegian art collectors and hoteliers Alex and Carrie Vik sought to create a 12-suite luxury boutique hotel in the middle of Uruguayan farmland, their mission was to make as little of an environmental impact as possible (think solar panels, wind and geothermal energy, a water-recycling system). The bath in the artist-designed master suite is no exception: The entire room, including the walls, door, sink and tub, is enveloped in richly veined wood locally sourced from jacaranda trees. WHY WE LOVE IT: The dark wood-clad bath pays homage to the retreat’s sprawling 4,000 acres of countryside, but sleek details like the sculptural lines of the tub, minimalist steel fixtures and recessed lighting give the space a decidedly modern feel. vikretreats.com 168 / LUXESOURCE.COM

THAT WORKS

ESCAPE ARTIST

JEFFREY WILKES Resort whisperer Jeffrey Wilkes is the creative mind behind some of the most Zen-inspiring retreats in South Asia and beyond. At the Ritz-Carlton Mandapa in Ubud, Bali, he channels the lush outdoors with rustic materials and a natural palette. designwilkes.com 170 / LUXESOURCE.COM

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

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

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

Perhaps only second in line to what constitutes a really great hotel room (behind, of course, a drool-worthy bed) are insanely comfortable bath towels. Those of the Turkish variety are often considered the crème de la crème thanks to premium cotton fibers that are known for quick-drying qualities and an uncanny ability to become even softer after washing.

TRUE BLUE THE DESIGN TEAM: Interior Design / Mendelson Group Home Builder / Vila Built LLC

178 / LUXESOURCE.COM

THE CHALLENGE: Take a Greenwich Village apartment in a midcentury landmark building, add sublime architectural features, and extract its interior idiosyncrasies to design a modern masterpiece for a couple’s contemporary sensibilities. “It’s a rare renovation when you get to keep such beautiful plank walnut floors and steel-casement windows,” says builder Christopher Vila. But it wasn’t all historical architectural details: the residence also included a major eyesore in the Smurf blue-lacquered kitchen. THE WORK: Throughout the apartment, designer Gideon Mendelson blended old and new elements. Although blue didn’t ring true in the kitchen, the designer added a fresh coat of teal lacquer to

the dining room. “It’s kind of ironic, but I feel good about it,” he says. Depending on the way the light hits the high-gloss wall, the turquoise takes on added richness. An acrylic-on-aluminum piece by Johannes Wohnseifer contributes a modern graphic quality, while the walnut floors and wood furnishings keep the spirited elements in check. THE RESULT: If the new design owes its verve to the punchy color, its unpretentious refinement, as Mendelson calls it, is a testament to the apartment’s existing earthy elements, thoughtfully curated midcentury accents, and glinting brass and gold fixtures. “The home reveals itself a little bit at a time,” says Mendelson. “It’s like a story that’s always unfolding.”

GREAT DANE THE DESIGN TEAM: Architecture / Richard Swann Architect Home Builder / Fox Hill Builders

THE CHALLENGE: Transform an unconventional Connecticut beach cottage into a contemporary coastal-chic artist’s haven. “Architecturally, I loved the windows and shapes, and that there was a lot of natural light,” says owner Charlotte Sabbagh, who was responsible for the home’s interior design. “Within the interiors, I wanted to create a neutral palette so that my artwork would stand out.” THE WORK: While Sabbagh repainted the entire house a crisp, clean white and added treasured midcentury Danish furniture and her own colorful artwork, architect Richard Swann was responsible for the footprint. The unique configurations and height of the home resulted in quirky little corners and bays that

unwittingly made it the perfect artist’s house, with Swann admitting that these characteristics may have pushed him to be more creative. THE RESULT: The home’s relaxed overtones and casual furnishings were chosen to encourage social interaction. A beautiful arched dividedlight window floods the open dining room with sunlight. Here, midcentury modern chairs by Arne Jacobsen surround a simple trestle table found locally and top a rug from West Elm. At the foot of the stairs, Sabbagh’s Light painting complements the beachy colors and coastal-chic décor. “My art and my house are a reflection of who I am,” says Sabbagh. “They have my personality and soul.”

TAKE SHELTER THE DESIGN TEAM: Interior Design / Sara Story Design Architecture / Joshua Brandfonbrener Architect Home Builder / Farrell Building Company

182 / LUXESOURCE.COM

THE CHALLENGE: Create a serene Shelter Island vacation home that’s inspired by the area’s natural beauty and fashioned with practical comforts for a Manhattan couple with young kids. “My clients wanted me to create a retreat, a relaxing place where they could spend time with their family and friends,” says interior designer Sara Story. THE WORK: The home, designed by architect Joshua Brandfonbrener, sits on a bluff above the ocean. “My goal was to ease the house into the topography, and make it feel private while maximizing the scenery,” he says. Story also did not have to look far for inspiration. “I took my palette from the sky, beach, water and trees,” she says. The walls are mostly a creamy hue with minimal moldings, serving as a backdrop to

clean-lined transitional furnishings; seating is upholstered in comfortable fabrics with stainresistant finishes. The casual dining corner encompasses Story’s essential elements. “I chose bluestone tile flooring for continuity with the outdoors, all fine with flip-flops or bare feet, and damp bathing suits,” she says. The banquette, fabricated by Luther Quintana in Moore and Giles Twilight leather, fits comfortably around the Wired dining table by Property. A Murano Cage pendant lamp adds overhead lighting. THE RESULT: The design is harmonious and at one with its environment. “The homeowners are really happy,” Story says, adding, “They originally thought it would just be their summer house, but they now use it for all kinds of occasions year-round.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

FIRST PERSON

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

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

Since the country has a longer history than the U.S., people have been acquiring furniture and passing it down in the family for much longer, and the result is both a lack of fussiness and a

7TALLYHO!

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

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

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

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

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

AUSTRIA

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

▲ LISBON,

PORTUGAL

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

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

HOST

INTERIOR DESIGNER KATHRYN IRELAND’S LATEST BOOK HONORS THE ART OF ENTERTAINING AT HOME: SURRENDER YOUR EGO, CELEBRATE SIMPLE LUXURIES AND EMBRACE IMPROVISATION. WRITTEN BY JULIE BALTER

The Hamptons, brimming with beauty and simmering in social activity, is both a haven and hub for home entertaining. Ever the consummate hostess, interior designer Kathryn Ireland infuses a free-spirited approach into the famous fetes held at her homes in Los Angeles and the South of France, and her newly released book, Kathryn at Home: A Guide to Simple Entertaining, captures the essence of Hamptons’ laid-back style. We asked the designer to share her summer entertaining essentials. Be ready for visitors. I shop at the markets every week so that I’m always prepared for people who drop by. It’s best to stick with the basics. You can never go wrong with serving a big salad, and the Hamptons are resplendent with garden ingredients. Dress your table with casual linens and lots of candles to set the stage and show you made an effort. Get your table on the best-dressed list. Give your table personality and make it your own. I love combing through the Hamptons’ flea markets for mix-and-match plates, old crystal and antique linens. Look for unusual

containers to hold silverware. Jugs are brilliant as vases that can be loaded with hydrangeas. Give the best hostess gift. I prefer to give something that money can’t buy. Make a playlist or create a book of favorite photos from your evening. If you prefer to purchase something, a wonderful present is a spiralizer for turning zucchini into spaghetti. Create a well-considered guest room. Make it a comfortable, uncluttered retreat. I suggest adding lavender bags; a carafe of water; lush, luxurious linens; and, always, a new bar of soap—nobody wants used soap! Set flowers by the bedside, as well as a selection of interesting books. Set the mood. The minute the sun sets, light tons of candles; the lighting in the Hamptons is spectacular and romantic ambience is key. Also, make guests feel relaxed. The party’s tone and direction is up to you and the energy you bring. It takes courage and a leap of faith to entertain. Mishaps are expected and great things often come of mistakes. Anything goes!

Ever since Marie Eiffel opened her chic boutique on Shelter Island, she has established herself as someone who thinks big. She then opened a second shop in Sag Harbor and, in 2013, transformed the former Reddings Market into Marie Eiffel Market, a local culinary paradise. This year, she is launching her own jewelry line, which is as bold as Eiffel herself— featuring large and organically inspired statement pieces. “Everybody right now is going small and delicate,” says Eiffel. “I do the opposite; I always go bigger.” 8 Grand Ave., Shelter Island Heights, 631.749.0707; 2 Bay St., Sag Harbor, 631.899.4332; 184 N.

HISTORY

This summer, gallery owner Tripoli Patterson reveals two very different exhibitions. From July 8 to August 8, the work of mixed-media artist Ashley Bickerton—whom Patterson has known since his teen years in Bali—will be on view. Then, on August 20, the gallery debuts an exhibition of local painter Susan Tepper’s work, such as Untitled (left); the gallery’s first posthumous solo show, it will run until September 19. “It’s important to look at what has contributed to the artistic culture here,” says Patterson of the exhibits. “It puts the artists in context with the history of the art scene.” 30A Jobs Ln., Southampton, 631.377.3715; 87 Newtown Ln., East Hampton, 631.324.0149; tripoligallery.com

Favorite indigenous plant: Shadblow serviceberry, with its twisted branches and large canopy. Take a ride to Montauk in late April and you will see a forest of them from the highway. Current trend: Grass meadows have become a popular alternative to irrigated mowed lawns. They are more ecofriendly. Where can we see the most beautiful landscapes in the Hamptons? Take advantage of summer garden tours, such as the Parrish Art Museum’s Landscape Pleasures symposium.

What type of flower is popular for Hamptons events? Dutch hydrangeas. These are the most perfect hydrangeas you have ever seen and come in so many colors. Combine them with garden roses, cut orchids, tweedia or dusty millers for an all-out “Southampton” look. Which flowers do you prefer? Tweedia, as well as lilacs, lily of the valley and peonies; their seasons are short but intoxicating! Favorite type of event to design for: A Southampton dinner party, which can range from informal to totally formal.

Trending Hamptons landscape style: Formal and open with outdoor patios. What plants should be used more? Boxwoods and Ilex crenatas mixed with lavender bushes. I love the rich green background created by the boxwoods and crenatas and its contrast with the lavender. Favorite indigenous flowers: Russian sage, black-eyed Susans and coneflowers. Which local nurseries do you prefer? Eastlands Nursery & Farms in Water Mill and Lynch’s Garden Center in Southampton.

11MYSTIQE FEMININE

AWARD-WINNING, BRIDGEHAMPTON-BASED ARTIST BASTIENNE SCHMIDT HAS JUST RELEASED HER LATEST BOOK, TYPOLOGY OF WOMEN, WHICH FINDS INSPIRATION IN THE FEMALE FORM.

This is your sixth book. How did it come to be? In my previous book, I used myself as the character in the role of the housewife. I separated silhouettes, and they became characters: a typology of women. I kept collecting these womanly figures, which stayed in my mind as silhouettes. What’s the significance of the silhouettes? It’s a poignant way of seeing things, and I express them with layers. Orange cutouts are not just orange; there are layers of paint with intuitive messages in them. When 216 / LUXESOURCE.COM

women see the work, there are often two or three characters they relate to. It’s a part of them they see expressed. There’s also an aspect of “Where else could we be in life?” The possibilities are endless. Tell us about the types of materials you worked with in this particular book. It’s collage: I mix my own types of pigment and hand-paint the paper, a technique of layering. I also fabricate my own little stencils, finding the fit in terms of patterns of paper and specific models. The size varies. Scale has an impact. It’s inescapable if you see a nearly humansize cutout of a woman. It has a very powerful impact. In all your work, themes of womanhood, motherhood, solitude and interconnection are present. How does this book fit in or differ? You have to step away and realize the individual self to fulfill your own destiny. It’s not a contradiction to be a mother and still do these things. In a strange way, all my projects are interconnected. It is this continuous journey that transforms itself. My work has similar roots and keeps evolving. It’s how I see the world and how I reflect on it. bastienneschmidt.com

TEMIDRA WILLOCK, FOUNDER OF THE EAST HAMPTON APPAREL COMPANY VIVID BLUEPRINT, ADDS CUSTOM RUGS TO HER REPERTOIRE.

Why custom rugs? There’s something about working with a client—collaborating and creating a piece for their space—that I love. It becomes a work of art. What is it about a rug that can make or break a room? A rug sets the mood. It’s a piece of artwork on your floor. Customization allows you to establish a concept for the space. Most important things to consider in the design and execution of a great rug: Material, color, design and the space as a whole; there isn’t just one aspect. The rug should tie everything in the room together. Can you tell us about how these particular rugs are created? I draw the designs by hand, then scan them, or I design them right on the computer. Then, I send that information to Nepal, where the weavers handcraft them— I actually went to Nepal and India and saw firsthand how they make these rugs. We’ve lost a lot with mass-produced items. It’s important to take a look at where and how your things are being made and how it contributes to the world. vividblueprint.com 218 / LUXESOURCE.COM

Lynda Sylvester gives her Sag Harbor general store, Sylvester & Co., a facelift every three years, but this year she did reconstructive surgery. While she still offers weekend warriors everything they need—from the strongest coffee to the comfiest slippers—the space has become more of a luxury showroom. “I wanted a modern general store that has a sense of humor,” says Sylvester, “but raises the stakes in terms of design.” An exploration of the store reveals some surprises: The back wall looks like faded wood, but upon closer examination, one discovers it’s wallpaper, designed by Sylvester; a dining room table and chairs looks to be made of privet, while cork and flannel armchairs are departures from the expected. “People have had it with commercial things,” says the shop owner. “It’s not a point-and-click life my customers want.” Sylvester is also making room for her own designs, including an indoor/outdoor fabric that looks delicate but withstands storms. “It gives you permission to live,” she says, “to be relaxed.” 103 Main St., Sag Harbor, 631.725.5012; sylvesterandco.com

This year, in honor of the silver anniversary, designers must incorporate the theme of silver. The likes of celebrity chef Ina Garten and artist April Gornik have served as judges in the past, but LongHouse Reserve’s executive director, Matko Tomicic, says Stewart is the ultimate authority. “She is probably the most highly qualified person to judge,” he says. “When she gives a blue ribbon, people jump for joy.” 133 Hands Creek Rd., East Hampton, 631.329.3568; longhouse.org

The historic John Jermain Memorial Library in Sag Harbor reopens this summer after years of renovation, and visitors are being rewarded with not just a feast for the eyes but one for the nose, as well: A Jo Malone London fragrance garden designed by landscape architect Beth Franz is being unveiled. Meant to evoke a sense of solitude in a public domain, the garden provides an unexpected escape for readers. “I try to incorporate smaller nooks that draw people away from larger gathering areas,” says Franz. “This can be done with seating, planting or something as simple as a change in paving to create a sense of enclosure.” The plantings were selected to create year-round depth, not only in terms of bloom but also scent. “There will be more than 10 plantings, including rose, thyme and peony that tie back to Jo Malone London fragrances,” Franz says. “Perennial gardens, like the theater, need feature players, bit players and special guest stars to provide three-season blooming and winter interest.” 201 Main St., Sag Harbor, 631.725.0049; johnjermain.org

HAMPTONS’ REAL ESTATE INSIDERS OPEN UP ABOUT THE LATEST DEALS AND TRENDS.

SARAH MINARDI Saunders

There seems to be an increasing trend toward more modern and transitional homes. Are you seeing that, as well? Absolutely—especially in new construction, where the exterior is designed in the traditional cedar Shingle style, but the interior living spaces are free-flowing. Also, no one uses (or wants) a formal dining room anymore. Most over-the-top home you’ve sold this year: A completely done modern box, originally built in the late 1960s and expertly renovated both inside and out—over-the-top because we were able to sell it for more than I thought possible. It was a mere 1,200 square feet, and the sale was the start of what I call the “under-one-million-purchase revolution” that has been making the lower end of the market go bananas. Fill in the blank: Real estate in the Hamptons right now is... Where you should be putting your money. Ditch the stock market ASAP.

From top: The Shingle-style residence at 75 Toilsome Lane, listed by Sarah Minardi, is located at the gateway of East Hampton Village. Another one of Minardi’s listings, 40 Gardiner Drive in Amagansett, boasts a transitional design. Built to take advantage of its south-facing location, the home at 500 Old Town Road in Southampton Village, listed by Harald Grant, has a water view from almost every room. Located in the Amagansett Dunes, 40 Gardiner Drive boasts an openconcept kitchen.

HARALD GRANT Sotheby’s

Many Hamptons buyers look forward to hosting guests. What amenities are people looking for to increase their ability to entertain? Finished lower levels can add another complete floor to a residence, and there appears to be no limit to what builders are offering or what customers are requesting. We are currently seeing custom walkouts with patios and water features, oversize home theaters, elaborate wine cellars and superbly appointed guest bedroom suites. Are yearround residents looking for different things than summer residents? More and more, owners are coming out here during the off-season to enjoy homes they purchased originally as summer retreats. There is now a blending between what describes a pure year-round resident and a summer resident. Fill in the blank: Real estate in the Hamptons right now is... Busy!

Curb appeal or waterfront property: Seeing and being able to use whatever water they are on trumps curb appeal 99 percent of the time. What is the most over-the-top home you’ve sold this year? A home in Sagaponack South. Built by the masterful Lifton Green organization, with interiors and furnishings by the übertalented James Michael Howard, this 9,000 square-foot, seven-bedroom house came completely furnished right down to sheets, towels and audio-visual equipment. Which village is the hot new spot right now? Sag Harbor continues to attract buyers whose lives are not dictated by proximity to ocean and who enjoy the hustle and bustle of the area’s warm sultry nights, as well as its various bayfront opportunities. Do you have a favorite hamlet? I like them all, but I live in Sag Harbor. I rest my case.

SUSAN BREITENBACH The Corcoran Group

Three top demands: Waterfront, large acreage with great location, and new construction. Most over-the-top home you’ve sold this year: I sold quite a few amazing properties. There was one on 17 acres with multiple building lots, 13 acres of gardens and a tree farm, a hydro tennis court, outdoor kitchens, a clubhouse, a golf putting green and a spectacular pool house. Do you see different hamlets appealing to different people? The last few years things have changed a bit: Sag Harbor boats world-class boating; Sagaponack, Wainscott and Bridgehampton are more rural, while East Hampton and Southampton are a little more formal; Water Mill is low-key, while Montauk has more of a happening scene; and Amagansett is still a little untouched.

CLASSIC LOCAL ARCHITECTS AND BUILDERS ARE BRINGING THE PAST INTO THE PRESENT. WRITTEN BY EMILY WEITZ / PHOTOGRAPHY BY MICHAEL MORAN/OTTO

Harnessing inspiration from the agricultural history of the Hamptons, the modern barn has exploded onto the architecture scene in recent years. “It is a reference to a familiar form of our area and culture,” says Paul Masi of Bates Masi + Architects, who designed what they dubbed the Northwest Peach Farm in East Hampton pictured here. “This agricultural-inspired home is romantic in nature.” The style has now become so popular that it’s expanded beyond boutique architects to large-scale building firms such as Farrell Building Company and Plum Builders, which has devoted an entire arm of the company to the modern barn vernacular. “Once builders are in the game, you know the word is out,” says Nilay Oza of Oza Sabbeth Architecture. “They wouldn’t be executing these designs on a large scale unless they knew the market was hungry for it. It now has a mass-market appeal.”

This movement is part of a change in the feel of modern design—it’s becoming warmer and more organic. “Modern doesn’t just have to mean glass-and-stucco boxes,” says Nick Martin of Martin Architects. “The barnmeets-modern is a transitional archetype that allows people to connect their modern sensibility within the skin of a historic-based, country-based vernacular.” A modern barn fits as much into the landscape today as silos and windmills fit before it. The difference is that, upon closer examination, modern luxuries and sleek finishes are revealed. “In this particular project, as you zoom in on the details you see that it has its own unique aspects,” says Masi. “The articulation of it is something new. While it’s familiar in its shape, it is unique in its execution.” So, whether the plan is for a renovated historic structure or a new building inspired by Hamptons heritage, a good modern barn design is a testament to where we have come from, as well as a celebration of where we are now.

ELEVATED ESSENTIALS USING BOLD FORMS AND A GO-TO COLOR SCHEME, HAMPTONS VETERAN ANTHONY BARATTA CREATES A WARM YET ENERGETIC FOYER IN HORSE COUNTRY. This space is decidedly dynamic. Walk us through the process. The homeowner was a lovely gentleman bachelor with a daughter, so we wanted it to feel warm and inviting yet tailored and not over-the-top alpha male. The concept was to create a quintessential Hamptons home while keeping his family in mind. If you have a grand space that screams, “Make me a showstopper,” always take a step back. A good designer can make any space look beautiful. A great designer achieves that, and makes it very real for the family who lives there.

DETAILS SOPHISTICATED NEUTRALS REIGN SUPREME AS FOUR DESIGNERS REFLECT ON THE FEATURES THAT BRING THEIR SPACES TO LIFE. WRITTEN BY MIMI FAUCETT

How do you imbue a high-traffic space with such elegance? The foyer is the one space in the home you almost always have to pass through, so we kept it clean and chic and devoid of gimmicks— classic all-American elegance with an East Coast nautical-chic twist. There are no bells and whistles, just good color saturation, good space planning and great furnishings. On the art, I happen to love this particular piece. It’s museum-quality but still very friendly, like the space itself. I don’t believe in creating gigantic spaces just to have a square footage number behind your home’s definition; I think real Hamptons is about taste, sophistication and a bit of understatement. It says, “Wow,” without saying, “Look at me.” Artwork / Marilyn Henrion / marilynhenrion.com. Custom Rug by Anthony Baratta / countrybraidhouse.com.

The mix of sturdy silhouettes and generous use of color feels at once grounded and punchy. Color drives design choices, and eventually satisfaction in the final result, and my goal here was to create a happy, comfortable home for the client. In terms of materials, most clients think they want to play it safe, but I like to put a few surprises into the mix. For your investment pieces, buy materials you are comfortable with—experiment on the accents. Throw in a piece of Lucite or lacquer in the end and you will end up feeling quite pleased with yourself. Above all, keep your sense of humor.

THE H

This room was made for socializing. I always encourage all of my clients to really live and use their spaces, and these clients love to entertain. They also spend holidays out here, and the double-height ceilings make it a lot more fun to decorate during the holidays. The owners, who are young and have two beautiful babies, love to be relaxed and comfortable in their environment, so they wanted it to feel luxurious and chic, but not fussy. What subtle features comprise the design of this space? The black accents bring in a level of

sophistication, while the textures, along with an array of finds from different places around the globe, layer the room to make it feel worldly, which, to me, makes it feel very cozy, as well. Layered textures are so important; they can give any interior a luxurious and elevated feel and look. I love mixing metals and stone together—everything pops off each other in a subtle yet exciting way. I also think monotone palettes always work. When there is minimal contrast in a color scheme, it is very soothing to the eye, especially when you are in a beach home and the main objective is to feel calm and relaxed.

How did you effortlessly infuse the home’s exterior into the interiors? Basically it was achieved by designing a space specifically for the duality of day and night. Natural light is everything. Whenever I can, I design large windows and doors to make the space feel larger and filled with light. I love the contrast of the black-framed windows against the nature that lies behind them; it’s what makes this room so magical. At night, the landscape is lit, and we are able to still bring the outside in. I can’t say it enough: outdoor lighting is essential and can’t be overlooked.

SEATED SERENITY SOFT HUES AND TONED-DOWN PATTERNS CREATE A MOMENT OF TRANQUILITY IN THIS SOPHISTICATED SAGAPONACK RETREAT BY BRADY DESIGN. How did you strike the perfect balance of sophistication and comfort? The style of the Hamptons is casual-chic. Here, we had a young family who wanted casual comfort that was also elegant enough for formal entertaining, something that is typical of the area. It’s really a balance that we have to strike with every project: making things steadily user-friendly, a little durable and as elegant as possible. No matter the space, there has to be some aspect of formality and sophistication that keeps with the rest of the project.

What are your tips for creating such a moment of tranquility? Always use a subtle palette with the occasional punctuation of pillows, lamps or art. Achieve soft plushness with muted fabrics and down cushions. For materials, use natural fibers—mostly linen, cotton and wool. Keep the option of lamplight or sconces alone, then complement them with soft, overhead lighting for a dramatic effect. Lastly, maximize daylight wherever possible by using delicate window treatments. 240 / LUXESOURCE.COM

Tell me about your thoughts behind the soft color scheme. Most of our clients live in Manhattan full-time and are looking for a sense of calm when they go to their summer home, a place to celebrate the natural light and the ocean. Because this is a beach community, the nature aspect of its surroundings is always first and foremost in a client’s mind. Our goal here was to evoke serenity in all the spaces through color: Each guest suite enjoys a soft, serene palette—this one was gray and lavender. We always try to use 100-percent linen, cotton or wool, never synthetics, and we try to transfer that sensibility to clients and get them to appreciate the natural aspect of the pieces that we’re decorating with.

THE H

Walk me through your vision when dreaming up this space. The owners live in the city so they wanted this house to be a place they could relax and feel comfortable in but that would also be modern and elegant. With the home being so close to the water, the owners wanted this space to reflect that, so we designed the master bathroom with the ocean’s tranquil elements in mind. Stepping into your bathroom, you should feel a pause, a moment of calm and quiet that allows you to relax. Tranquil and spa-like were the goals for this room, which features

a freestanding soaker tub and crisp white accents set against chiseledlimestone and Venetian plaster walls. It looks like texture was also key. I am a big fan of layering. It’s fun to include multiple textures, patterns and fabrics within a space; a balance of high and low helps make a room feel more comfortable and creates a livable elegance. The textures in this space were crucial to setting the scene. We paired the cool stone texture of the limestone wall with warmer wood tones while keeping the palette light and airy.

The natural light seems to flood the room with a dreamy energy. Lighting is a big factor when setting the mood of a space, and natural light tends to create a warm, gently glowing tone that can’t always be reproduced with a bulb. There should always be a mixture of both natural and decorative lighting, such as chandeliers and sconces, to play off of the standard overhead recessed lighting. Here, the whole house is very light and airy, and in the master bathroom especially. In the Hamptons, the natural light is very unique and beautiful—it’s almost too hard to describe.

In the living room, designer Timothy Brown mixed dressy and informal elements.

he more the merrier. Words to live by—and design by. At least when you’re a vibrant Manhattan couple with adult children and grandchildren looking to escape from a fast-paced life in the city to a place that the entire family can visit. A 10-bedroom house newly finished in Bridgehampton by builder Michael Paul D’Alessio of Michael Paul Enterprises filled with seaside charm fit the bill perfectly—plus, it was close to transportation and the shopping strip, and just a bike ride away from the beach. So, the couple turned to their trusted interior designer, Timothy Brown, to plan a casually elegant space “that didn’t feel like a beach house,” he says. “The idea behind the home was to have the family together and to be comfortable year-round.” The two-story house was already well-organized to suit a big family. The main living areas (including a piano room) and the kitchen are on the main floor, with the master suite, guest bedrooms and a combined office-bedroom

upstairs. Rooms are formally delineated rather than wide-open spaces, which lends a surprisingly cozy feel. “Even though the main house is 16,000 square feet with a basement,” says Brown, “it doesn’t feel large, as the rooms aren’t cavernous.” With such a large family, the owners really wanted to maximize seating. “ ‘One more chair, let’s do one more chair,’ ” Brown says with a laugh, recalling the wife’s repeated requests for accommodations. “They really do go out there every weekend, and they like to have their holidays there, too.” As a result, large areas such as the living room feature “zones” of various groupings: two custom rectangular low tables made of timber run the length of the sofa, which carves out its own space. A separate section is formed by an adjacent circular low table made of stainless steel and glass flanked by a pair of swiveling barrel chairs on one side and two upholstered rectilinear armchairs on the other. The piano room’s seating arrangements include a shapely

aubergine sofa and a few vintage armchairs, as well as a game table for bridge or casual conversation. “The wife wanted it to feel comfortable and refined to entertain friends,” says the designer. To this end, the dining room seats 14 people, and the choice of steel for the table reflects the wife’s easygoing personality. Custom-designed and based on a table she admired at a restaurant, it is treated to withstand heat and scratches. Upstairs, the bedrooms are “designed to grow,” says the designer, who planned flexibility to accommodate the need for additional nurseries. To help fulfill the owners’ desire for a house that didn’t feel too beachy, Brown chose a masterful mix of texture and color to help play up unexpected pieces or lend a casual air to dressier ones. “We decided to keep the overall look more like a comfortable yet refined beach

house, which meant softening the rug and using mohair instead of sisals,” Brown says about his living room decisions. “We used linens on the sofa and chairs to keep it feeling beachy, but we incorporated color instead of beige or white.” The wife loves green, so shades of the color are found throughout the house. In the entry, for example, a French 1920s green Holophane pendant hangs over a sleek, sculptural Eros marble table. “It’s an old element over something new,” says Brown. “The pendant is an antique fixture from an old factory, and it is a nice mix with the newer marble table.” All of these counterbalances create a home that is at once warm and welcoming, sophisticated and stylish. The effect is that the residence isn’t part-time at all, but that it’s lived in and in use—weekends and weekdays, all year-round—with plenty of room for everyone.

here are moments in life when one sees something and in an instant knows it’s right. That is what happened when a couple with three children was shown a North Haven property overlooking the sea. The location could not have been more perfect for their family, and as they arrived at the top of the driveway, a spectacular view appeared. But no project comes without its challenges and the owners, along with their architect, Blaze Makoid, faced a significant one: Local regulations limited the footprint of a house on the water. With room for family and friends a top priority, the couple needed plenty of space for their children and a plethora of guests. “Blaze really listened to me when I said, ‘This is our family dynamic. This is the way we live,’ ” says the wife. “He just understood what we wanted out of a summer home.” Indeed, Makoid went to work right away to create a home conducive to his clients’ way of life. “Their weekends revolve around socializing,” says the architect. “Their kids have friends over. Their friends come over with their kids. Their parents come out quite a bit. It’s not uncommon for there to be 20 people there for breakfast on a Saturday morning.” In response, Makoid proposed creating an indoor/outdoor space that would serve as one giant living area. To achieve this natural flow,

one of the most important aspects the architect considered was materials—beginning with glass walls with 14-foot sliders on either side of the living room. “The thought was when you walk toward the house, it opens up into an outdoor courtyard, then the living room, and then the back property,” he explains. “When they’re entertaining, they can open up the glass and create one continuous very large space.” Upstairs in the master suite, Makoid upped the ante of this concept, designing a room with glass walls that also open up in two directions. “Because of the cantilever, you feel like you’re floating,” says the architect. “You don’t see the ground below you. All your views are to the distance.” The interior and landscape designs also served as important factors in the transitional space, so Makoid brought interior designer David Scott and landscape architect Edmund Hollander to the team, along with general contractor Joseph Kelley. “When Blaze came to me, he had a strong concept of the sculpture of the house,” says Scott. “It was clear that we were going to have this wonderful collaboration.” The designer found inspiration for the décor in an aerial photograph he had taken when he was flying over Patagonia. “I looked down and saw a beige and golden landscape with this incredibly aqua river flowing through it,” he says. “It embodied the feeling of the

house.” To this end, Scott used a white-and-beige palette throughout the home and then injected hints of a strong blue, such as in the living room, where he contrasted a stunning teal-glass-topped cocktail table against the neutral sofa, chairs and rug. Hollander took his cues from Makoid and Scott. “This was a collaboration, where Blaze’s architecture, David’s furniture and our landscape had to seem as it was three hands attached to one arm,” says Hollander. “Because of the transparency, it is the quintessentially perfect Hamptons house. So much of the living in the houses of this area takes place in semi-indoor, semi-outdoor areas, in places where you smell the sea breezes, where you hear the birds, but you’re also protected from the hot sun.” The seaside location wasn’t just a factor in the aesthetics of the structure, however. Hollander also took it into consideration when choosing the foliage, planting native species, such as swamp maples and bluestem grass, that could withstand its effects. The final result is a home that feels twice as big as its actual square footage. And although the house has an easy, laid-back vibe, it is still sophisticated enough for the couple to host spectacular parties, such as fund-raising events and a Fourth of July soiree with a perfect view of the fireworks in Sag Harbor.

Designed as the ultimate oasis, the master bedroom features doors that open at two sides and reveal stunning views of the water and Sag Harbor. To reflect the view, Scott chose to use bronze glass on the wardrobe behind the custom wood-bronze-and-leather bed from DLV. The white Calvin Klein sheets, Suri alpaca rug from Holland & Sherry and subtle animal print on the Maxwell Blake chair add to the calming nature of the room.

“BECAUSE OF THE CANTILEVER OF THE MASTER SUITE, YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE FLOATING.” -BLAZE MAKOID

The backyard provides a multitude of areas to dine and relax. For large meals, family and friends can gather around the Sutherland dining table, which is surrounded by Richard Schultz 1966 chairs for Knoll. For an even more relaxed experience, they can head to the upstairs roof deck and lounge on Oasiq’s Sandur armchairs and enjoy a drink while well-shaded from the sun under Tucci’s Square Plantation Classic umbrella.

ost stories about buying a new home begin with the usual reasons: starting a family, needing more (or less) space, a job transfer. This one, however, begins with a cappuccino. Although a Manhattan couple had owned summer homes in both Sag Harbor and East Hampton over the years, there was one problem with the locations: the extra travel time required for the wife to pick up her requisite cappuccino and panini at Sant Ambroeus in Southampton on their way out east. So they began looking for a closer house, one that would easily accommodate their children and grandchildren and was within walking distance to the village, beach and train station. A five-month search led them to a house in the perfect locale—but a complete teardown was in order. That’s where designer John Vancheri came in. Working with the architect of record, Robert Ortmann of Zwirko & Ortmann Architects, on the zoning process and builder Phil Pape on the 16-month build, Vancheri designed a stunning 5,000-square-foot, five-bedroom home inside and out, 276 / LUXESOURCE.COM

including a gym, outdoor kitchen and screened-in dining area with fireplace, as well as a gunite pool, pergola and landscaping. “Modern, clean lines and white, white, white,” is how the wife describes what she and her husband were hoping for. “When we saw what he had created on paper, we were awestruck,” she says. “The vision was for the house to look like it could have been an old structure and to modernize it,” says Vancheri. “I used a lot of weathered woods for the beams and lintels. The paneling was also designed to look weathered, but it runs horizontally for a more contemporary look. Natural finishes, like the concrete floors, were installed without expansion joints so that it cracks naturally.” Pape, who came to Vancheri via a wordof-mouth recommendation, appreciated the designer’s meticulous attention to detail and the couple’s noncookie-cutter vision. “I loved the concept, the idea of quality over quantity,” he says. “Plus, the use of materials and the architecture were different from what we typically see in Southampton Village.”

Along with builder Phil Pape, designer John Vancheri collaborated with a local woodworker to build the stairwell (above, left), which connects the three levels of the home; installation was done by crane, dropped in from a circular skylight above. In the foyer (above, right) is a large custom mirror, 5 feet in diameter, designed by Vancheri and fabricated by Coastal Metals; the black-leather stools are by Holly Hunt.

The casual, sun-flooded living area features a dramatic 20-bulb light fixture by Lindsey Adelman Studio, a couch from Homenature in a Jerry Pair indoor/outdoor fabric and custom chairs by Vancheri in the same Jerry Pair fabric. The dining table is from Holly Hunt, with Maxalto slipcovered chairs from B&B Italia. Polished-concrete floors, fabricated by Pape Construction, dominate the main living space.

Of the couple, with whom he has worked on 10 renovation projects in New Jersey, Manhattan and the Hamptons, Vancheri says, “Aesthetically, they pretty much gave me free rein.” Yet they were very much involved in the planning of the layout. A primary aim was to be able to accommodate children, grandchildren and friends. To this end, Vancheri created an 800-square-foot guest suite on the second floor, as well as a 1,200-square-foot guest apartment on the lower level. Each is connected by a stunning circular staircase, built behind arched doors to create privacy between the guest spaces and main level. Another must-have: a wine cellar to store the husband’s extensive collection—about a thousand bottles; Vancheri designed it in white oak that he had stained a weathered gray. Noting the couple’s wish for openness, and having to contend with a local rule that the house must face the street, the designer got creative: “I wanted to get the best light and also wanted to maximize the look of 280 / LUXESOURCE.COM

the property while keeping it private,” he says. “It has an extra-wide main hall that stretches from the front door to the rear door with wide openings to the adjacent rooms to allow light to filter through.” In the public areas on the first floor, the ceilings peak at 18 feet, creating an astonishing sense of space and light. To maintain this feeling of airiness, the furnishings and décor are almost all white and gray, with the occasional touch of black to add drama—seen in stools in the foyer and the star pendants that hang over one of the dining areas. For Vancheri, when a job is over, it isn’t quite over. He masterfully orchestrates the moving company, as well as the television and phone services, and puts everything in its place once the move is complete. “With John, when you come in for the reveal, it’s turnkey—like being at the Ritz,” the wife says. “You walk into your new home with music playing, flowers on the tables, and often lunch! This one, though, is the most gorgeous house I have ever been in.”

I wanted the water to be level with the surrounding patio.” Opposite: The cabana is situated at the end of the pool to capture the exterior’s longest vista. The draperies—which were custom-made from a Sunbrella fabric—provide a sense of intimacy in the seating area.

FOX | KIRSTEN Fox | Kirsten is a New York-based luxury interior design practice that made its name within the industry for interiors that are elegant, intelligent, dynamic and infused with vigor and creativity. At the helm of the practice are Paula Fox and Aaron Scott Kirsten, rare talents who complement each other’s unique gifts for design and entrepreneurship. Both are as passionate about business as they are about design, recognizing that the two strands are mutually beneficial. “We provide a service,” Fox says. “We always strive to delight our clients with the process. We want them to be pleasantly surprised with the finished result even though they know every choice that has been made. We still want that ‘wow’ at the end.” To achieve the level of satisfaction from clients for which they’ve become known, Fox and Kirsten apply rigorous research to each project from its inception. “There is quite a bit of research, which often occurs transparently to the client. We want to understand their personal inventory and daily life through photo surveys and conversations about how they spend their time at home. Do they like to read sitting or lying down, how do they make their coffee, do they have guests remove their shoes at the door. All of these details need to inform the design,” Kirsten explains. The design practice’s hospitality and residential portfolio spans from Manhattan to the Hamptons to Florida and reveals a commitment to intuitive, carefully calculated design. “Every detail and surface should feel perfect, nurturing and supportive of how the client intends to live in the space,” Fox says. “Good design solves a problem and solves it well.”

AS K T HE EXPE RT What are your favorite styles to work on and why? The most interesting styles to work with are those where the architecture and the interiors differ, creating an eclectic style. Bringing modern interiors into the conversation with classic architecture or vice versa is fun because you can break the rules. What steps can clients take to make their experiences more personally rewarding? Be fearless, say yes to your instincts and don’t worry about what anyone else is going to think. It’s your home. What is inspiring you now? The fearlessness of some young architects, in particular, after the example of Zaha Hadid.

IRP DESIGNS FOR KITCHENS & BATH At IRP Designs for Kitchens & Bath, every kitchen or bath encountered is viewed as an opportunity to create a unique environment that speaks to a client’s vision. For Federico Martin, the firm’s founder and design consultant, it’s not about working from templates, but about consistently delivering exceptional ideas. “We offer kitchen lines that are traditional, contemporary, transitional and modern, but we have the flexibility to use those lines as an inspiration for clients and then create an entirely custom design. That is what makes us different: unique, customized design made in Italy,” he says. The Italian kitchen and bath firm represents some of the most celebrated names in design, including Aster Cucine, a manufacturer based in Pesaro and Milan, as well as Zucchetti, Gessi, Milldue and PLH Italia. Aster Cucine, arguably the most recognizable line of IRP Designs for Kitchens & Bath, is one of the only European manufacturers capable of executing total custom kitchens. As a result, each IRP-crafted space illustrates inventive approaches to fulfilling clients’ aesthetic and usability wishes. While IRP is a U.S. dealer of primarily Italian-made products, the company has expanded to include flooring materials from Alphenberg, a leather tile company based in the Netherlands. IRP partners with Rye Ridge Tile, which is based and operated in the same 8,000-square-foot showroom as IRP. The complementary firm provides designers, architects, developers and homeowners a one-stop shopping experience. “We have a very wide variety of clients that have their first house, beach house or ski house. We give the same importance to each one, for a large kitchen in the Hamptons or for a small kitchen in an apartment,” Martin says.

What is inspiring you now? I am inspired by our line called Factory. It is a mix between contemporary and modern styles. It can work for a kitchen in a Manhattan loft or in ski house in Colorado, using finishes like gun metal, wired glass doors, lacquered finishes, oxide metal finish and antique steel. How do you define luxury? Luxury is the enjoyment of the best life has to offer, and it’s not necessarily material objects. For me, it is spending time with family and friends and enjoying good, homemade food in my country. Speaking to your line of work, what constitutes “good design”? A good design is something you use today and in 20 years.

RUBYLUX “Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities,” Frank Lloyd Wright once remarked. RubyLUX, a global marketplace of rare collectibles, is the ultimate purveyor of luxury. The extraordinarily high-tech firm acts as a liaison between world-class sellers and discerning buyers, yielding such treasures as striking ruby and diamond earrings from Van Cleef & Arpels and rare Murano lamps by Seguso. “Luxury is the highest quality of design—rare, one-of-a-kind finds, always offered by reputable dealers,” says RubyLUX’s founder and CEO Tom Johnson, an esteemed antiquarian and collector with a predilection for technology. “Luxury is about the relationships you create through a trusted platform and customer service.” Indeed, customer service is a hallmark of the digital luxury marketplace, a factor that differentiates it from its contemporaries. “One key difference is that we do not charge commission; we do not get in between the dealer and the buyer. We let them do what they do best,” Johnson explains. In lieu of charging a listing fee or commission on individual items, RubyLUX allows dealers to purchase a monthly subscription. This structure, according to Johnson, allows more flexibility in making communication transparent between dealers and consumers. “RubyLUX is a highly curated marketplace, so we want our audience to know they can shop our reputable sellers,” he says. RubyLUX’s engaging, intuitive design allows visitors to effortlessly explore the site’s repository of rare and exotic furniture, jewelry, fine art and vintage fashion, to name a few. “Our philosophy is to empower dealers with the most advanced technology and provide designers and collectors with the highest quality luxury designs,” Johnson says.

Opposite: Carrier divided the living room into several sitting areas to create a cozier feel.

t was like stepping into an Andrew Wyeth painting.” That is how the owner of a Shelter Island vacation home describes the feeling of seeing the property for the first time. “My wife and I admired it for many years before purchasing it,” he adds. “We were attracted to the majestic landscape, ancient trees and southwesterly exposure.” Upon the property sat a stunning 19th-century manor house with a lookout tower, but the couple wanted to create something more personalized for their family, which includes four children. So, they turned to architect John David Rose, with whose work they were familiar. “We had been to the home of a friend designed by him and loved the style and architecture,” says the husband. “It was elegant and gracious without being oversized.” The couple worked with Rose and general contractor Mark Himmelsbach to assess the integrity of the original structure—which had been added on to over the years— ultimately deciding to move the stable central core of it 300 / LUXESOURCE.COM

across the property to become a guesthouse while integrating the striking lookout tower into the new home. “Ideally, someone might ask, ‘Is that the same house that’s been there for over a hundred years?’ ” says the husband. Adds Rose: “The original section was built in 1873. It’s a national landmark. The goal was to go through and find the real old structure and preserve it.” The preservation of a national landmark, however, presents its own set of special challenges. “In this case, it was set on an Indian burial ground,” explains Rose. “We had to have the whole site tested and dug, and there were places that we weren’t allowed to touch.” One of the owners’ biggest priorities was taking advantage of the waterfront location. “Every room in the house has a unique view of the water, save one or two,” says the husband. “A new surprise is revealed as you pass from one room to the next.” An open-plan vernacular on the first floor that allowed for the entire family to gather together was also an important

aspect to the design. Interior designer Jesse Carrier was tasked with furthering this concept. “The goal was to make every room comfortable and welcoming,” says the husband, observing that even though he completely trusted Carrier, it was not until he saw the final result that he realized the brilliance of the designer’s choices. “Jesse’s color selections looked great when he showed them to us in the office. But, when seen in the context of the light and views from inside, they reveal a touch of artistic genius.” With no doors closing off the spaces, Carrier decided that it was important that the entire design be cohesive, approaching it as one would approach a loft space. “It’s funny—upon first impression it seems like a very traditional

Shingle-style home,” he says. “But when you come inside, it’s much cleaner. This open plan is not what you would expect from the shell. It speaks to the clients’ wishes that they wanted a very easy lifestyle out here.” Embracing the family’s desire for a casual atmosphere, Carrier chose to use a mix of styles, unexpectedly combining such furnishings as a hyacinth-wrapped chair, a modern live-edge dining table, a velvet seat and a midcentury lacquered console. Because the couple’s daughters all play the piano, it was also important to bring in a piano that fit well with the laid-back vibe. “We didn’t want a big black shiny Steinway,” says Carrier. Instead, they found an antique piece that worked with the room.

To keep the dining room earthy and casual, Carrier incorporated custom Palm Host chairs woven with Biarritz fabric in Sapphire, a custom wool rug from Studio Four NYC and studded raffia wallpaper. He added the Parzinger-inspired bone-lacquered sideboard, purchased at Lawson-Fenning, and the custom curtains in Borderline fabric from Lucy Rose Design to create a pop of interest.

According to architect John Rose, the family loves to sail and surf and enjoy the water, so the whole house had to be able to handle wet and sandy feet. To this end, a four-seasons room serves as a place for people to relax after returning from the pool or beach. Luther Quintana Upholstery created the armless sofa covered in Ralph Lauren Homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Amazonia velvet in Sandstone.

The master bathroom serves as a continuation of the beach theme. A painting by Robert Hogan hangs above the Victoria + Albert York freestanding bathtub. The clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; own waxed-wood stool and 1940s vintage chair provide seating for relaxation.

Carrier also wanted to incorporate the family’s love for all water-related activities, but do so “without being corny,” he says. So, he added such touches as a buoy-like chandelier in the dining room, a shell-encrusted table and raffia-backed chairs, with shades of blue, green and sand permeating the entire house. The tower tops off this seaside charm—both literally and figuratively. Inside it, a spiral staircase leads to a ceiling hatch. “You go out there and pull back the hatch, and you go out on the walkway,” says Rose. “If you ever sailed, then that’s the view you’ve seen.” With such stunning natural views, Edmund Hollander, the landscape architect who was brought on for the project, did not want to veer away from the indigenous aspects of the property. “Ed reminded me that we should let the trees and views speak for themselves,” says the husband. Adds Hollander: “This was not a property that

needed a ‘landscape statement.’ Mother Nature had made that statement and it was our job to be respectful and deferential.” Taking into consideration the uniquely difficult Shelter Island combination of salt winds, low water and deer browsing, Hollander planted buddleias, vitex, American holly and bayberry—all of which are droughtand deer-tolerant. “Fortunately, all of the elements lend themselves to a cohesive landscape that accentuated the elegance of the rolling topography, great trees and scenic vistas of bays and wetlands,” he says. Ultimately, the design team fulfilled the owners’ vision of a place where every aspect is well-used and enjoyed. Says the husband, “Stand in the middle of the house and pivot east to see a ferry channel, south to the sound, west for the sunset, and north for a glimpse of a 125-year-old copper beech tree.” As Rose explains, “It’s all about the views.”

In the master bedroom, the Diego California King bed was placed in the center of the room to capture the best view. The floor-to-ceiling Christopher Martin painting complements the soft colors of the Pottery Barn quilt and shams and the New York Drapery custom canopy and bed hangings in Holland & Sherry fabric.

f you subscribe to the real estate philosophy of location, location, location as essential for a making a great home buy, then one Connecticut couple hit the mother lode. Not only was the property they found situated in what locals refer to as the “in-town” section of New Canaan—a coveted locale within walking distance of the town center—but the size of the lot also approached 2 acres. “It was one of the largest in-town properties and highly desirable,” says architect Michael Smith, whom the couple retained to design their home. “The typical properties in this area are much smaller, so this one gave us the opportunity to build an estate-size house.” The homeowners, a couple with four young daughters, previously lived across the street and had been eyeing the property for quite some time when it finally came on the market, with the existing house listed as a teardown. With the couple already a fan of Smith’s work—“We saw

a classic stone-and-Shingle-style home he built and loved it,” says the wife—the architect came to the job with an established framework from which to begin. “The concept was to create a strong street presence with formal architecture on the front reinforced by strict symmetry and elements like a double gable,” says Smith, collaborating with landscape designers Neil Brunetti and Heather O’Neill on the surrounding property, where they sustained the established scale and proportion. “It is important to me that the landscape design marries well to the home and its architecture,” says Brunetti. To achieve this, he introduced matching fieldstone walls on either side of the front door to complement the formal entry. In contrast, the backside, with its pergola off to one side and rambling porch, is more asymmetrical and casual. “There are a series of spaces for entertaining that serve as an extension of the interiors,” he adds.

From the Aerin crystal-andpolished-nickel chandelier to the mirrored gold-framed églomisé coffee table by Julian Chichester, the living room sparkles. The Lorens sofa from Hickory Chair sports off-white Romo velvet, and the Vanguard X-based benches wear pewter leather. The silvergray Tencel rug is by J.D. Staron.

That same formal/informal dichotomy is evident in the interiors, where the intricate millwork plays a key role. From the entry, the deep coffered ceiling beams and detailed pilasters that frame the living room opening signal formality, with the molding layers becoming noticeably less pronounced as you move through to the kitchen and family room. The mind-boggling job of keeping track of the woodwork fell to builder Vebi Gjyliqi, who, along with his crew, crafted everything in his local shop. “All the moldings are custom-made, and there is not one piece of stock anywhere,” says Gjyliqi. “It’s not just about cutting the wood; things have to be laid out just right, and each piece has to be symmetrical and perfect.” When it came to furnishings and finishes, interior designer Michelle Morgan Harrison took cues from the architecture but introduced fabrics and paint to make a more transitional statement. “The homeowners wanted that balance of a

traditional home with a more modern organic feel, and a yin-yang of luxe shine with natural textures and finishes,” says Harrison. One example of this is the designer’s use of high-gloss lacquered paint in all the main living areas before switching to a satin finish on the kitchen and family room walls. According to Harrison, the wife was as clear about what she wanted—soothing ambience, with a palette of silvers, pale blues, lavenders, warm grays, ivory and gold, and a touch of glam—as what she didn’t want. She had a laundry list of do-nots, from chinoiserie to the color red. “It’s the first time someone has given me a ‘no’ list,” says Harrison, noting things such as geometric patterns and anything beige were also pretty much banned. “I loved it! We actually ended up doing a few things on it regardless, such as geometric prints, but it was very helpful.” In the living room, velvet with a sheen on the sofa, a pair of

A palette of beiges and pale blues defines the family room, where the Pearson swivel chairs are upholstered in Quadrille linen and the silk lumbar pillows wear Kelly Wearstler fabric from Lee Jofa. The RH sofa is covered in Sunbrella linen, the driftwood coffee table is by Lillian August for Hickory White, and the sconces are from Visual Comfort.

Harrison chose to appoint the patio with teak furniture that ages well. A cocktail area is furnished with RHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coronado collection, while an RH teak-and-concrete dining table is paired with more chairs from the Coronado collection.

silk-covered slipper chairs, textured silk strie on the walls, and a pale gray thick-pile Tencel rug so soft that it begs for bare feet satisfied all the requirements. “The goal was to walk into a room, exhale and go aah,” says Harrison. In the dining room, a gold sunburst mirror and a champagne sisal rug with a metallic border keep the space in the transitional mode while offsetting a traditional mahogany table from the couple’s previous house. The tufted chairs wear ivory-colored linen on the back and, in deference to those four little girls, sport pink Sunbrella velvet seats. Not surprisingly, durable fabrics also play a key role in the family room and kitchen. In the latter, the banquette is covered in vinyl, and the curved breakfast area chairs feature vinyl on the front and raffia on the back, both in pale gray. A silver-leaf

light fixture with sandblasted glass and an oval table with a matte ivory finish round out the panoply of textures. Serenity reigns in the master suite, where the soft blue on the tufted headboard speaks in a whisper to the faint lavender on the draperies. Mirrored nightstands topped with crystal lamps supply a touch of bling, while the white fur rug is pure luxury. Housed in a turret, the adjoining master bathroom features a feminine beaded chandelier over the tub to contrast with the paneled ceiling. “Here and throughout the house, we succeeded in establishing an equilibrium of refined meets texture and formal meets organic,” says Harrison. “But perhaps, more importantly, we accomplished creating something that will stand the test of time.”

A cozy reading corner in the master bedroom features a chair and ottoman from Hickory Chair dressed in Fabricut chenille, a Mr. Brown London side table and a CB2 lamp. The Vanguard bed and tufted headboard are upholstered in blue velvet by Robert Allen, and the custom bench touts mohair velvet from Rogers & Goffigon. The white sheepskin rug is by J.D. Staron; the chandelier is by Oly.

Plantation shutters modulate the light in the master bathroom, where Harrison designed the vanity fabricated by V & A Construction; it sits on waterjet-cut marble mosaic tile floors from Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marble Depot. The polished-nickle sconces are from Visual Comfort, and the faucets are Perrin & Rowe by Rohl.

Next Level CONSTANTLY EXPERIMENTING WITH MEDIUMS AND MATERIALS, DESIGNER TODD ST. JOHN TEASES SOMETHING EYE-CATCHING OUT OF EVERYTHING HE TOUCHES. WRITTEN BY TERRI FEDER / PHOTOGRAPHY BY NINA CHOI

LUXESOURCE.COM / 329

ominated for an Emmy and winner of a Webby for his animated short Circle Squared, recipient of a Cannes Gold Lion for his spot with Saatchi & Saatchi’s Prius Goes Plural campaign, and winner of a myriad of other awards, Todd St. John has long been a shining star. The Brooklynbased designer, animator, illustrator and founder of the HunterGatherer studio/workshop has spent much of his life exploring the potential of different mediums and materials. Of late, he’s gained acclaim for his furniture making, and his aesthetic, at once fluid and geometric, represents the crosspollination of his life experiences with interests in texture, scale, movement and materiality. Gifted with interests aplenty, St. John has been honing his eye for design since boyhood. “When I was a child, I thought I would be a cartoonist. Later, I thought I would be a composer,” he says. Tending toward the tactile and visual, he often found himself with a crayon or X-Acto knife in hand. “If I had a book review to do, instead of writing a report, I would illustrate it,” he confides. “Once, we had to do something on the Mayflower, so I built a model of the ship.” Things haven’t changed much over the past several decades. “To this day, trying to figure out how to make things, that curiosity of seeing something and wanting to build it, remains,” he says. It was while growing up in Hawaii that St. John developed an appreciation for woodworking. “My dad is an engineer and had a woodshop in our garage and would make me help him, which, at the time, I kind of dreaded,” he confesses. “But it gets into you.” St. John refined his artistic skills at the University of Arizona, from which he

Todd St. John (top) has been working with his hands since he was a child. Even when he’s delving in the digital realm, he brings a handcrafted aspect to his work, such as with the animation models shown left. St. John’s folding lounge chair and matching ottoman (opposite) sit next to his prototype Radius side table. 330 / LUXESOURCE.COM

Much of St. John’s work lies in drawing and experimentation. Examples of this can be seen both below and at right, where his wire maquettes are made from glass and wood.

graduated in 1993 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in graphic design. After living in California for several years, he moved to New York City, where in 2000, he founded HunterGatherer. Back then, crafting furniture was a hobby. “I had done furniture for myself for a long time,” he explains. Things changed in 2015, when he released his furnishings publicly for the first time. Influenced by sculptor Lee Bontecou and designer Carlo Mollino, St. John wants his work to have a visible structure and armature while still being lyrical. “I like a fairly stripped-down style,” he says. “My Balance floor lamp has an economy of line and structure, where you can clearly see how it’s weighted and what parts do what.” For other furnishings, he extrapolated structures out of existing forms. “It’s like when you see drafting paper—the underlying grid is there even if not visible. On the façade of my Relief credenza, there’s some of that slicing and subdividing of a grid,” explains the designer. For each accomplishment, St. John ticks off his bucket list, and there are still things he hopes to achieve—one of those being conceiving a library. “That type of organizing and synthesizing of a lot of different mediums into one thing really appeals to me,” he says. Don’t be surprised if this comes into being someday. It seems there’s nothing St. John can’t do. 332 / LUXESOURCE.COM

FOREVER YOUNG A LIGHT AND AIRY PALETTE CREATES A GRACEFUL OASIS FOR A FAMILY MATRIARCH LOOKING TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH HER GRANDCHILDREN. WRITTEN BY TATE GUNNERSON / PHOTOGRAPHY BY PIETER ESTERSOHN

Handcrafted woodwork by Red Tail Moulding & Millwork creates a wall grid that is ideal for hanging artwork in the great room. The antique Persian rug from Nazmiyal Collection forms a dramatic backdrop for a seating area that includes a patterned chair and ottoman covered in Bloomsbury fabric in Saffron from Rose Tarlow Melrose House. The two multicolored 25-pendant ceiling fixtures by Bocci were purchased at Karkula.

his home is light and youthful,” designer Thomas Jayne says of the weekend retreat that he decorated for a family of sailing enthusiasts on Centre Island, the exclusive coastal enclave on Long Island Sound’s Gold Coast. Perched at the top of a gentle hill and surrounded by woods, the two-level structure’s traditional shingle siding and cedar shake roof belie the ethereal feeling that Jayne and project designer Egan Seward created inside. “It’s a family house,” Jayne explains. “The owners wanted it to be harmonious, fresh and contemporary while still fitting into the traditional setting.” The project is one of several that the designers, along with architect Kathryn McGraw Berry, designers Jayson Michael Fay and Aimee Lopez, and landscape architect CeCe Haydock, created for a matriarch who wanted her children and their families to have their own respective retreats close by. “It is a grandmother’s dream to have what I call casual contact,” the owner says. “I like how the house sits overlooking trees and that I can easily visit with my grandchildren in their own space—their natural habitat, if you will.” Comprising three distinct pavilions connected by interior links with peaked ceilings, the sprawling shingleclad structure nevertheless feels cozy and intimate, with LUXESOURCE.COM / 337

A painting by Hunt Slonem is displayed above an early-20thcentury circular oak table from Glen Dooley Antiques.

In the master suite, a Soumak rug from Nazmiyal Collection fashions a balance of international flair with traditional elements, such as the antique four-poster from Hollywood at Home in Los Angeles. The spacious room also includes custom chests from Laszlo Sallay, which flank an Art Deco birchand-rosewood Swedish daybed by Erik Chambert from B4.

“YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO EXPERIMENT AND NOT RELY ON A FORMULA.” -THOMAS JAYNE

LUXESOURCE.COM / 341

A bluestone patio from E & J Construction, designed by CeCe Haydock, is one of several that surround the house. The doors and windows are from Reilly Windows & Doors; the hand-split cedar shingles are by Michael J Allen Roofing.

private spaces on either side of a cavernous central living and dining room. “You enter into a compressed space, and there’s a juxtaposition of large and small spaces throughout,” Berry explains. “The circulation space defines the rooms and creates interest.” This central space allows for a range of activities, with various areas that cater to everything from intimate conversations to piano recitals to group dinners in front of a fireplace. To create a warmer feel in such an expansive room, Berry designed simple wall moldings in conjunction with Fay and Lopez to add texture and break up the wall massing, as do a pair of exposed ceiling supports. “The trusses give the big room a human scale,” Berry says. “This is a country house after all.” Enhancing that country house sensibility is a mix of furnishings that play off both the architecture and the owner’s extensive art collection. “We believe having a wide range of things from different periods makes a room richer, more interesting and more enduring,” Jayne says. “Our rooms are not modish, so they will still look good 10 years later.” In the open and airy great room, a pair of modern chandeliers made of a mix of glass spheres in nauticalinspired hues purposely contrasts with the grid of paintedwood wall paneling. “We wanted something playful and contemporary against the older-appearing architecture,” Jayne says, noting that Seward selected the colors and adjusted the heights of each of the glass globes. “It was like designing a DNA chain on the ceiling.” Complementing the chandeliers is a colorful early-19th-century Persian rug with a repeating circular pattern motif that relates to both the wall paneling and the whimsical lighting fixtures—a lively juxtaposition that balances the unexpected with the traditional. The designers employed a similarly playful approach throughout the home. In the master bedroom, for example, a metal canopy bed coexists easily with an antique rug and a Swedish Deco daybed made of walnut, ebony and birch, while fabric-clad walls add pattern and texture. “You have to

be willing to experiment and not rely on a formula,” Jayne says. “It’s about making a collage, taking elements and putting them together in an artistic way.” This carefully planned yet unexpected take on the décor extends to the outside. On either side of the main entrance, there are bluestone terraces with pavers that have been laid in a random rectangular pattern. On the public side, a brick-and-wire wall provides privacy without totally obscuring the view. “We made this entranceway that is sort of magical and enclosed,” Berry explains. “It’s like an old-fashioned front terrace.” The patio overlooks a meadow of wildflowers and native grasses that Haydock and landscape consultant Larry Weaner, of Larry Weaner Landscape Associates,

created along the winding, sloped driveway. In addition to remediating the poor soil quality, the wild, open space attracts monarch butterflies, bees and hummingbirds. “When the family is sitting on the terrace, they feel as if they are in nature,” Haydock says of the space, which includes evergreens and berry-bearing shrubs that ensure color year-round. Indeed, the house is a hit with the family, who gathers there for weekends and holidays, and with their grandmother, who envisioned the project in the first place. “We love the light from all of the many windows,” she says. “The lighthearted feeling of the house just makes us all smile when we arrive.”

Painted in a soft shade to complement the Turkish carpet from Double Knot, the twin beds in the guest room (below and opposite) are from The Federalist and have been stripped of moldings to reflect the transitional interior. Custom curtains made with Floreat fabric in Campion by Lewis & Wood, purchased at Hines & Company, introduce pattern and softly filter the natural daylight; the bench is from Newel. Atop the antique three-drawer oak chest from Briggs House Antiques sits a lamp that began its existence as a floral 1960s-era vase from Derbyshire.
