EDITOR’S LETTER

Clockwise from top left: M64 Pendant by Miguel Milá for Santa & Cole; a vignette from The Coveteur: Private Spaces, Personal Style by Stephanie Mark and Jake Rosenberg; vintage Cartier necklace; Navata fabric by Fortuny; and Petri vase by Elyse Graham.

What should your home give to you? In its purest form, it should impart beauty, honesty, delight, imperfection, and, perhaps, even a little wit or amusement. The environment that you create is essentially an extension of what you value and love, a reflection of your aesthetic sensibility. It’s something that ebbs and evolves over time yet (hopefully!) always feels authentic and true. It seems reasonable then that the space in which you live should be treated as a little haven in this world—a dwelling that makes the everyday seem that much more beautiful. This issue is largely dedicated to examining the concept of luxury, and our team connected with many artisans and designers who weighed in on the subject. It’s telling that a common thread runs through that collective dialogue: “Each piece has a story to tell.” “Collect things you love and want to have forever.” “The most luxurious of materials are also often the simplest.” “Home is sacred, and the items around us often have an emotional effect, so it is important to put a great deal of care into deciding what you allow into your space.” Wherever you reside, make home your greatest luxury.

Ingenuity “Much like a fitted suit, we design and build a personal space that will define and reflect the collector and their collection,” shares India Hynes of Vinotemp, a company dedicated to bespoke and luxurious wine storage. From cooling systems to wine cellars to wine furniture, Vinotemp has mastered the craft of storing, preserving and showcasing fine wines. “Modern wine design must move away from a one-dimensional approach and think of the wine room as a multidimensional canvas,” Hynes says. “The static, cluttered, restricted and unchanging wine room of the past must now evolve into a living stage, a place where it is possible to create an environment that alters old beliefs about space and structure and infuse new concepts that reflect the needs of today’s modern wine collector.” Vinotemp, based in Southern California, comprises a dynamic workforce, including woodworkers, cabinetmakers, artisans and designers. All of its work is handcrafted in the U.S. “At Vinotemp, it is not unusual to find a father and son working side by side, ensuring the safe passage of skill, knowledge and craftsmanship to the next generation,” she says.

WHAT DOES THE ART OF INSPIRATION MEAN TO YOUR BRAND?

Inspiration lies at the very core of Vinotemp’s culture. India Hynes, like her father before her, has traveled the world in search of new ideas and inspiration, as well as new technologies and industry trends.

WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF YOUR FIRM?

Vinotemp is a 30-year-old family business. Founder Francis Ravel was born in Casablanca, French Morocco, fought with the French Foreign Legion and landed in Hollywood as a leading man. After a lengthy movie career, Ravel found his passion of making and selling his own wine. This simple turn of fate led to the need to store his collection.

DESCRIBE THE CRAFTSMANSHIP BEHIND YOUR BRAND.

Vinotemp’s loyal workforce is bound together by a single thought: to create a product that will last for generations.

memo SHARON SUMMER PUBLISHER

What’s amazing about this industry is that there is never a shortage of creativity or new ideas. It’s precisely what keeps design fresh and inspirational. Over the past few months we celebrated some of what’s new, exciting and destined to influence homeowners and the design trade for many years to come. First, Italian designer Lorenzo Bellini brought back Art Deco style with the launch of his Phantom collection, designed exclusively for Safavieh. We also celebrated the opening of Christopher Peacock’s new Short Hills showroom in New Jersey, joined Vicente Wolf as he introduced his newest book, The Four Elements of Design, and teamed up with Scavolini and interior designer Jeffrey Beers to unveil the One West End penthouses that celebrate luxury living at its finest. You’ll find images of these events and others on this page as well as on our Gatherings pages in the back of the book. Plus, don’t forget to check out our special advertorial section on kitchens and baths, showcasing some of the latest looks, designs and innovation from industry experts. Enjoy the issue!

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

ALANNA HALE

Photographer / San Francisco

TATE GUNNERSON Writer / Chicago

Memorable Luxe interview: While every single interview is fascinating in its own way, my conversation with the multifaceted Eric J. Nordstrom of Urban Remains in Chicago stands out. He left behind a career in scientific research to pursue his passion for history, architecture and salvage and has since amassed a significant collection of pieces. Is there a particular writer whose work has had an influence on you? Although I have an enduring appreciation for urban life and design of all kinds, Henry David Thoreau’s emphasis on nature and simplicity resonates with me more and more as the years go by. Who is the most interesting person you’ve ever met? Artist and potter Alessio Tasca. For decades, he created incredible pieces out of his rustic studio in the countryside just outside of Vicenza, Italy. What a life he’s lived! If I weren’t a writer, I would… Run a small bed-and-breakfast that would consist of stylish tiny homes, yurts and tree houses on a peaceful lake in the country. I’d also love to make a documentary at some point.

KARYN MILLET Photographer / Los Angeles My biggest creative influences come from… My travels. From Cuba to the Cotswolds in England, this year has been full of visual inspiration for design, color, light, composition and mood. I’m forever planning my next trip. Whose work has impacted you the most? My great-great-uncle, Francis Davis Millet. He was a famous artist who made me realize that art can be a career if you set your mind to it. He was last seen helping women and children into lifeboats off the Titanic, where he perished. What type of design inspires you? I love traditional with a twist. With architecture, I’m a big fan of the classics—Federal, Cape Cod and Spanish. I’m also intrigued by unexpected colors and fresh designs in interiors.

MINDY PANTIEL Writer / Colorado What do you find most enjoyable about the design industry? I like the ongoing integration of the art world into interior design. And I don’t mean finding art to match a sofa, but rather designers recognizing that allowing art to make its own statement only enhances and elevates a home’s interiors. Favorite element of design: Architecture. I am forever in awe of a great architect’s ability to shape a building and create spaces that are not only livable but also have a context. As a consequence, I like furnishings and accessories that make strong architectural statements. Most memorable Luxe interview: I spoke with a homeowner who shared that her husband had fallen in love with an enormous boulder weighing several tons on their property. So, as a birthday present, the wife arranged for a crane to move it near the front door so he could see it every day. The architecture and design of the house were already wonderful, but this was a reminder that the best stories (and homes) involve this kind of personal touch.

What is the best career advice you’ve received? “You don’t have to like it, but you should be proud of it.” It’s a way of saying that the path or experience isn’t always easy or fun, but it’s worth the fight to create great work in the end. And, while that uncomfortable place may sometimes be unpleasant, it’s also necessary. Role models: Stephen Shipps and Maria Koundoura, professors at Emerson College in Boston. They are both passionate, brilliant, patient and kind. Favorite Luxe shoot: Blacksmith Daniel Hopper was so much fun to work with, but with their humor and charm, Neil and Alix Curry of The Willow Farm are pretty hard to beat. Top three things on your design wish list: I would love to purchase a Hans Wegner Peacock chair, install flamingo wallpaper in my bathroom, and own a vintage caramel-colored Chesterfield sofa.

LUXURY in the DETAILS A LOOK AT LUXURY WITH HANDS-ON CREATIVES WHO ARE POWERING THE GROWING MAKERS-MATTER REVOLUTION. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

Luxury has a million different meanings and permutations, a concept as unique as a fingerprint to each individual person: a warm cup of coffee on a chilly, overcast morning; the cool thrill of slipping into a freshly made bed with silk sheets; a day off with no obligations or competition for the television remote. One thing these definitions, and the countless others weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard while working on this issue, have in common, though, is that they all actively engage the senses. The greatest luxuries then are the things that inspire joy by the way they look, feel, smell, sound or tasteâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;many of which exist inside the home and have transcended their supporting roles in everyday life (think a bench, a sconce, a pillow) to take center stage due to the attention their makers have given to their creations. On the following pages, we talk to the artists, designers and craftspeople responsible for both breaking and making the mold and for ensuring even the smallest details feel like priceless treasures.

RADAR / COMMENTARY

“I don’t like trendy design; although, it’s essential to keep up with changing styles. When I design textiles, I like to create things that are timeless and can work in various styles of homes—things that can be appreciated decade after decade.” –MILI SULEMAN, KUFRILIFEFABRICS.COM

“Don’t bring it home unless you plan on living with it indefinitely. There’s so much disposability in consumer culture. Instead, collect things you love and want to have forever. Search for things that retain their value even when they’re well-used, worn or patinated.” –CODY HOYT, CODYHOYT.COM

I LOVE WORKING WITH WOOD. IT HAS SO MUCH CHARACTER ; EACH PIECE HAS A STORY TO TELL AND FEELS ALIVE TO ME. A LOT OF TIMES I EVEN SPECIFICALLY LOOK FOR SLABS WITH IMPERFECTIONS, WHICH WE THEN PATCH UP IN UNIQUE WAYS.” –FLORIAN ROEPER, STUDIOROEPER.COM

Clockwise from top right: Elyse Graham’s Petri vase; Pamela Sunday’s Sprocket sculpture; and Cody Hoyt’s Oblique vessel.

“The value in a handcrafted piece is the human connection. The digital age has made our world smaller and brought us together but left us longing for direct personal contact. I think there is an inherent comfort in owning a piece, which is made by hand, that addresses that void.” –ELYSE GRAHAM, ELYSEGRAHAM.COM

“Luxury is beauty and comfort combined. I have come to love a Martin Margiela smock that is threadbare from years of wear. My husband purchased it more than 20 years ago. When I put it on, I feel more like myself.” –PAMELA SUNDAY, PAMELASUNDAY.COM

“I am blown away by the work of artist Daniel Brush. His level of commitment, his total focus, his rabid attention to detail and his blend of the intellectual and the physical are just so impressive. I find myself on the verge of almost giving up when I see his work.” –VICTORIA REYNOLDS, TUELLREYNOLDS.COM

RADAR / COMMENTARY

“I’m continually impressed by how much a beautiful cup, the right bowl, a wellmade rug, a crafted table or an inspiring piece of art can move me. I never imagined the profound pleasure that someone else’s creativity could bring me each day.”

THE MOST LUXURIOUS OF MATERIALS ARE ALSO OFTEN THE SIMPLEST, WHETHER IT’S CLAY, WOOD, STONE OR NATURAL FIBERS. WOOD, IN PARTICULAR, IS SACRED TO OUR SURVIVAL, WITH TREES THEMSELVES OFTEN SERVING AS MARKERS OF THE PASSING OF TIME.”

–RUTH FRANCES GREENBERG, RUTHFRANCESGREENBERG.COM

“We’re compelled to create by nature; it’s a Zen state that’s hard to match and innate in all of us. I aim to make modern heirlooms and do work that is meant to be handled and not put on a pedestal. I often wonder where my pieces end up living and hope that they’re being passed down generationally as cherished objects.”

“We love the thought that our pieces could be passed down through generations. We put a lot of effort into creating solid, wellconstructed objects. We also use the best materials that we feel are correct for each individual design and are compelled to make each piece as good as it can be.” –JAMEY GARZA, GARZAMARFA.COM

–TUCKER ROBBINS, TUCKERROBBINS.COM

“The ethos of handcrafted work is incomparable to that of mass-market products. Our work comes from a place of deliberation over design, aesthetic, structure, form and function. Each piece is handmade to order, so we know for whom and for what space we’re making it.” –DAVID WEEKS, DAVIDWEEKSSTUDIO.COM

RADAR / COMMENTARY

“Every painting is a struggle between what you want it to be and what the painting wants to be. Most of the time, painting is wrestling, but every once in a while, something unexpected happens— something beyond what I’ve planned or intended.” –STELLA MARIA BAER, STELLAMARIABAER.COM

“Luxuries, to me, are things that create ‘wow’ moments in our days—like when you sink into a down sofa and have no desire to be anywhere else or when you experience the pleasure of running your hands across the top of a table made from an exquisite, oneof-a-kind piece of wood that’s been skillfully finished to perfection.” –CATALINA ECHAVARRIA, CEUSTUDIO.COM

From top: The Pivot chandelier by Brendan Ravenhill; CEU Studio’s handwoven Reed bed.

MY PROCESS IS NOT LUXURIOUS AT ALL. THERE HAS BEEN BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS THAT HAVE GONE INTO MANY OF THE THINGS THAT I HAVE CREATED—A LOT OF BAD BEFORE YOU GET TO THE GOOD—BUT I CAN’T IMAGINE NOT DOING IT. THE PROCESS BRINGS ME SO MUCH JOY.” –MEGAN ADAMS BROOKS, MEGANADAMSBROOKS.COM

“If you’re going to splurge on anything, let it be lighting— it has the greatest ability to transform a space. No matter how nice the objects in a particular room are, if the lighting’s not right, you’re not going to spend as much time there. Beyond how it looks, too, be sure to examine what kind of light it casts.” –BRENDAN RAVENHILL, BRENDANRAVENHILL.COM

“When creating something that people will one day bring into their homes, I always try to subscribe to Shaker design philosophy: Don’t make something unless it is necessary and useful. But if it is both necessary and useful, don’t forget to make it beautiful.” –SEEMA KRISH, SEEMAKRISH.COM

“We absolutely keep the idea of collecting in mind when making things. We want to create pieces that can be preserved and last for multiple generations. We try to make art that is immersive and made by multiple artists, and we like the fact that furniture and usable art can be hard to swallow as an art form.” –NANA SPEARS, FORTMAKERS.COM

Everything Is Illuminated DESIGNER JONATHAN BROWNING USES HIS PASSION FOR HISTORY AND AGELESS STYLE TO CREATE LIGHTING THAT WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME. WRITTEN BY SHANNON SHARPE PORTRAIT BY ALANNA HALE

Change in approach: When I first started, I was doing everything by hand, but I quickly discovered that my designs would have to be made in a foundry because they were too complex. I only work with the best of the best: Cirecast. Material matters: For the first seven years, we used cast bronze almost exclusively, but as our

SCONCE PHOTO: GRANT PETERSON.

When Jonathan Browning founded his eponymous company in 2003, he was positive of one thing: He was going to make the best lighting in the industry. “I wanted to create pieces that would outlast the people that bought them,” he says. Through designing each item by hand, using the best quality materials and producers, and taking a new approach to old ideas, Browning has proven that being the best isn’t about labels, but about commitment. In his latest offering, the Montalembert sconce, the designer shows us thoughtfulness once again with a machined-byhand lamp with a hand-polished solid-brass base and a hand-carved and polished lead-crystal shade. “Luxury is about authenticity,” says Browning. “It is about respecting your materials and deferring to what your design is trying to say and do. It’s about doing the right thing over the easy thing.”

Jonathan Browning in his San Francisco headquarters next to the Dornstab floor lamp, originally designed by J.T. Kalmar and re-edited by Browning. His Montalembert sconce is shown below, left.

repertoire expanded, we introduced brass and then lead crystal. I’d always wanted to use lead crystal because it’s such a beautiful alternative to glass. Crème de la crème: My passion has always been industrial design, but I’m also a big fan of French Beaux Arts. The French essentially studied every element of classical design, learning the rules so that they could break them and introduce something the world had never seen. Luxury suite: To me, Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont is the height of luxury. It’s incredible to go into a room that was so beautifully designed in the 1920s and that has been restored but not fussed over. It is like stepping into an old photograph.

Hero worship: Otto Wagner gave voice to industrial design as a decorative language. I also admire Stanford White, who was really the first decorator; he would bring architectural elements from Italy and France and build whole rooms for them. Finally, I consider Louis Comfort Tiffany a genius of massively misunderstood proportion. He is often dismissed as being a little known stained-glassed window and lamp designer, which is insane. Beauty statement: The construction of the Montalembert sconce is what gives it its beauty. The electrical work flows through the brass tube, curving downward and back up, never touching the crystal shade; the armature is just there to cradle the crystal. The result is like sculpture.

AT ANN SACKS, ART, CRAFT AND A DOSE OF SCIENCE MEET TO CREATE THE COMPANY’S SIGNATURE LINE OF TILES. WRITTEN BY LISA BINGHAM DEWART

These days, the transformation of an Ann Sacks tile from rough sketch to finished tile takes place in a sprawling Portland, Oregon, factory. However, the company’s dedication to craft, along with some of the same kilns, remains the same as it did nearly a quarter century ago when the founder of the eponymous company decided to add to her line of tile imported from Mexico with her own signature collection. The story continues in a quiet corner of the factory. There, a skilled craftsman—who goes by Gerbert—translates ideas conceived by Ann Sacks’ in-house design team and by notable collaborating designers, such as Robert

Kuo, Kelly Wearstler and Laura Kirar, into the first stages of a new tile addition to the core Made by Ann Sacks collection. “He’s a true artist,” says DeeDee Gundberg, director of product development. “He takes the design from concept to drawing to understand the repeat before transitioning it to a wax model.” From there, Gundberg and her colleagues tweak the design and make changes. “Maybe it’s just softening a corner,” says Justin Burgin, team leader of finished goods, or, “refining a line to make it slightly thinner.” Then, a wax model gets made to create a rubber positive, which in turn is used to create the mold. Finally,

Ann Sacks’ signature line of earthenware and stoneware tiles, the Made by Ann Sacks collection, offers a rainbow of colors and a mind-boggling assortment of textures, shapes and sizes.

the prototype is fired and ready for glazing. It’s a critical step, since glazes can behave differently. And, notes Burgin, “Things stand out more when glazed, so it’s critical to see if any flaws appear.” Once the design is complete, the tile is ready to be put into production, joining a dizzying array of colors (over 150!) and shapes from hexagons, arabesques and scallops to the ever-popular subway tile, not to mention textures, including the Ann Sacks Modern Ribbed tiles, a recent introduction. “It’s extremely important we stay relevant,” says Gundberg. The company produces both earthenware and stoneware designs from locally sourced clay. Earthenware, the first type of

tile the company produced, allows for solid glossy or matte glazes, while the stoneware body lends itself to more decorative shapes. For basic shapes, production starts when the wet clay goes through an extruder, where it’s flattened and then cut into slugs before being loaded into presses to make specific shapes. For some tiles, including all the stoneware offerings, the designs are stamped by hand. Afterward, the tiles spend 12 to 15 hours drying before they’re ready to be biscuit-fired in the continuous kiln—a hulking piece of machinery that takes the tile up to 1,976 degrees Fahrenheit and back to room temperature in as little as 80 minutes. Then, it’s

onto the glazing area, where the pieces are either glazed on the line or hand-sprayed. Each tile in the Made by Ann Sacks collection is touched by at least seven people during its transformation. Burgin is quick to point out that a little piece of everyone involved in the production goes into the finished product. “They’re incredibly passionate about it,” he says. During factory tours, design lovers see that firsthand. “They’re blown away by the handmade process, the artisanal quality and the craftsmanship they see,” says Gundberg. “The story is extremely important to tell, so they understand what went into the making of that tile.”

RADAR / DEBUT

Best part about working with Theodore Alexander on your new collection, Califolio? The first thing the team at Theodore Alexander told me when we began to work together was “design like you have no constraints,” and I immediately understood why. Their capabilities are endless; they have their own foundry and handle their own finishing and leather fabrication. It allowed me to create exactly what I wanted: a large, ambitious collection (of over 75 pieces!) with a real wabi-sabi flavor and plenty of interesting textures and finishes. Share your inspiration for the collection. The size of the collection enabled me to combine a lot of the different things I’m influenced by: organic design and materials, as well as American Art Deco modernism.

WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

I also wanted to create a dialogue here that speaks to Los Angeles’ eclecticism, to the way we celebrate the melting pot of cultures that make up our community and how we’ve learned to mix both high and low, elegance and simplicity in our homes. Do you have a favorite piece? They’re all special to me, but I’m especially proud of the work we did on the Flint table (shown). To bring that piece to life, we had to work with Theodore Alexander to add new finishes and techniques to its repertoire. For example, for the handsome oak tabletop, we designed a finish called Sandalwood for a rich, honey color; then, to take it even further, we put it through a wire-brushing process before hitting it with white cerused wax and a very, very fine steel wood for a satin finish.

It also has a beautiful base. Yes! The Flint table also features another new finish called Foundry, a lovely metallic that gives the base the illusion of being cast in bronze. In reality, the base is fabricated resin, which makes it easier to render its river rock-shaped cutouts. I’ve always been attracted to anything curvilinear or kidney-shaped. These silhouettes, popular in the 1940s through ’60s, are some of my favorite things from that period of modernism. Dream meal to serve on this table? A fantastic L.A.-inspired lunch with fresh, homemade heirloom tomato salsa with chipotle peppers, vegetarian tacos with avocado and peppers, and delicious BBQ shrimp skewers. It’s a great example of what entertaining in California is all about: flavor and quality and health. Just don’t forget the gluten-free corn tortillas!

@aspoonfulofbenjamin WHO: New York City-based Benjamin Reynaert is an interior stylist and editor with an eye for color and a proclivity for antiques. The Midwestern native, who also dabbles in bookbinding, documents his aesthetically appealing adventures via his well-appointed Instagram account. WHAT: Reynaert’s eclectic feed, a result of his selfproclaimed hoarder tendencies, conjures up a world you’d want to live in. Whether he’s styling granny-chic silver in New Orleans or browsing a Target in Kansas City, expect whimsical compositions that are varied, fresh and, above all, beautiful.

535W43

When 535W43, a boutique luxury residential building in Hell’s Kitchen, opened its doors this past summer, the 14-story dualtower structure featured something inhabitants of the concrete jungle rarely expect: extensive, lush gardens. Atop each tower is a landscaped terrace, fully equipped for alfresco cooking, dining and lounging. Connecting the two edifices is a two-story garden courtyard, meant to “offer residents a peaceful retreat in the heart of an urban setting,” according to landscape architect Hank White of HMWhite, who graciously appointed the space with such seasonal foliage as Bowhall Red Maples and American Hornbeam. “The treetops’ unmistakable form in the upper courtyard is even visible from the second-story apartments.” New York-based CetraRuddy was charged with the industrial-inspired building’s architecture, while Tamara Eaton Design devised its interiors. In addition to the richly planted landscape, the towers’ 280 units feature lofty casement windows, appliances by Blomberg and Bosch, Swedish wood flooring and Caesarstone countertops. Tenants also have free rein of the property’s pet spa and yoga space. Architect Nancy Ruddy concludes: “We created a place where residents can come in off the gritty streets of Hell’s Kitchen and enter an inspiring environment.” 535w43.com

IN HIS WORDS: “What most inspires me is capturing a unique moment: someone in a bright yellow jacket crossing the street, an especially striking bloom at the flower market, an incredible slant of light on a chair in my local coffee shop—anything that makes me pause and say, ‘Wow, that’s beautiful.’ ”

TALKING SHOP WITH MARK ZEFF

BLACKBARN

When did you open? My wife, Kirsten, and I opened Blackbarn this July. We saw a void for an emporium-meets-atelier and thought DUMBO, a neighborhood brimming with design, would be the perfect location. Describe the space. Our shop is meant to reflect a comfortable yet curated lifestyle. We want clients to feel at home and be able to browse for a long period of time. There is so much to discover, particularly in regards to the space itself, which was once an industrial loading dock with huge I-beams holding up the roof and old architectural elements, which we left as authentic as possible. What’s on the shelves? As of now, all items are Blackbarn brand pieces and my own proprietary designs. Starting in late fall, the shop will introduce other vendors that will be exclusive to us in the United States. Will you be hosting events? There will be rotating artist exhibits, like the photography of Bob Tabor, which is on display now. blackbarnshop.com 164 / LUXESOURCE.COM

ON VIEW

The Glass House, an iconic landmark in New Canaan, Connecticut, designed and inhabited by the late architect Philip Johnson, is a must-visit this fall. On view at the residence through November 30 is a special installation by prolific Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, whose work Johnson collected. The acclaimed exhibit, “Narcissus Garden,” first created by the artist in 1966 for the 33rd Venice Biennale, is being introduced to celebrate what would be Johnson’s 110th birthday as well as the 10th anniversary of the residence’s museum conversion. The installation comprises 1,300 steel spheres, each 1 foot in diameter, floating in the property’s pond as a drifting sculpture, reflecting the surrounding 49-acre landscape and neighboring Pond Pavilion. Along with the shiny cluster, the Glass House will feature Kusama’s recently completed, larger-than-life steel Pumpkin sculpture. theglasshouse.org

THE INSIDER

STEVEN LEARNER

Every spring, New York’s design community convenes for NYCxDesign: a weeklong celebration recognizing the year’s best design and previewing what’s to come. Amid the itinerary of trade shows and launch parties, the Collective Design fair stands out for its deeply discerning exhibits by talents like Lindsey Adelman, Fort Standard, Apparatus and Calico Wallpaper. Here, we ask the fair’s founder, Steven Learner, for his preseason forecast. collectivedesignfair.com Design must-sees: Everything important in the design scene right now is happening below 23rd Street. From Chelsea to the Lower East Side, design is flourishing in studios, restaurants and shops. When I’m in the LES, I never miss a chance to visit places like Coming Soon, Green Fingers on Rivington and The Future Perfect on Great Jones. For the art-focused: The New Museum is a regular stop for me, along with Salon 94 on Bowery and Freeman Alley. I also love to frequent the Whitney Museum of American Art on Gansevoort and the Met Breuer to pay homage to Marcel Breuer’s genius. 166 / LUXESOURCE.COM

How is design changing? It is becoming less about function and more about expression. I love the blurring of boundaries that’s happening between design and art and how it’s also becoming more global in its influences as well as its impact. Ones to watch: In New York, I love the work of Chris Wolston and his hands-on approach to making and exploring materials. I am also fascinated by OTHR, Joe Doucet’s digitally printed design platform with products by Jonah Takagi and others. At the other end of the spectrum, keep an eye on the chaotic and overtly personal work of Katie Stout.

GRAND OPENING

POLIFORM One step through the double doors of Poliform’s forthcoming flagship on Madison Avenue and you’re immediately transported from the commotion of Midtown East to a space that more closely resembles a minimalist’s townhome than a design showroom. “We thought about the ways our clients live; then, we designed an upscale home environment well equipped for a couple that appreciates design, quality and luxury living in New York,” explains Laura Anzani, the chief operating officer of Poliform USA. Opening in late September, the 10,000-square-foot space will reflect the ideal crash pad for a design-conscious customer’s day-to-day activities. To achieve this, the Italian brand’s in-house team designed a series of stylish vignettes to provide much-need inspiration for the living rooms, libraries and dining areas their inventory aims to furnish. The kitchen, too, serves as a design showcase—both decorative and efficient—and conceals a second fullfledged chef’s kitchen, as well. Details of quality and sophistication continue through the flagship’s master bedroom and into the larger-than-life walk-in closet. Our only question is: When can we move in? poliformusa.com

CHEAT SHEET ALLE FISTER: BOLLARE The prodigious, and preternaturally hip, founder behind celebrated public relations firm Bollare, Alle Fister spills on all the deeply fabulous people, places and products that keep her passionate about her bicoastal lifestyle. bollare.com Favorite thing you’re pitching right now? Literally everything Gray Malin is working on. I met Gray eight years ago while doing press for the launch of One Kings Lane, where he was one of the site’s first vendors. Years later, when I opened Bollare’s L.A. office, I purchased one of his photos for the space, and it had the added bonus of rekindling our friendship. He’s more than a photographer; he’s a lifestyle brand and a keen digital influencer. Who’s on your best-dressed list? Margherita Missoni is right at the top. In general, I’m a big fan of Missoni, so it was kind of perfect that I started representing Roche Bobois right around the time they released their Missoni x Mah Jong collection. I love the effortlessness the line has, and I also love the way both brands embrace color, movement and bold silhouettes—much like Margherita herself.

Looking forward to… Incorporating black stainlesssteel elements everywhere I can. The masculine, fashionforward vibe of black stainless is so my jam, and I am happy to see ever-more manufacturers making tastefully built products using this material. Up next? We recently expanded our New York presence, tripling the size of our East Coast office in an incredible artist’s loft in Tribeca. Of course, it’s still in need of some TLC, but luckily, I know exactly who can fill the space with fresh Bollare energy: my husband. He’s the principal and cofounder of One Tuscany Renovation, which revives some of Southern California’s most amazing homes. It should be a snap for him—even if I am currently thinking of ways to sell him on deep-blue flooring!

What’s on your radar? In Los Angeles, we’re seeing a lot of elevated design and fashion boutiques with international recognition heading our way. I’m personally so excited about the opening of L’Eclaireur,

located right up the street from our office. In New York, I’m always amazed by how the city keeps churning out new, amazing hotels that provide a completely different perspective on one of the best cities in the world: Some personal favorites are The Bowery, Crosby Street Hotel, NoMad and The Mark.

THESE FALL FINDS RADIATE LUXURY, INCITING INTEREST FROM OUR LATEST ROUND OF STYLISH DESIGN DIGNITARIES. WRITTEN BY KATE BERGERON PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOANNA MCCLURE

NIMA TAHERZADEH

FASHION DESIGNER & FOUNDER HEROINESPORT.COM

Signature: Kate Spade has really revolutionized the accessory business, and the brand continues to do so with other categories that help shape the well-lived lifestyle. Material: Velvet and leather have a tendency to be soft and sexy; in this case, they cause an understated juxtaposition with the structural and industrial brass legs. Fashion x Interiors: I believe that the definition of luxury changes from time to time. For now, the focus is more about comfort, ease and access in both fashion and interiors—a quiet luxury à la well-crafted and beautifully designed pieces. Necessary Extravagance: However you define luxury, bring it about as often as you can.

LAP OF LUXURY

THE PIECE: Syrie Stools THE DESIGNER: Kate Spade New York FIND IT: katespade.com THE INSPIRATION: From the clean piping of the cushions to the fearlessly feminine brass legs, the Syrie stools epitomize exactly what Kate Spade New York has always been about: classic design with a twist. Here, buttery leather and blush cut velvet keep the seats au courant, while the cut of the legs adds an unexpected edge, proving that the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature ethos is sure to always keep us on our toes.

GOLD MINE THE PIECE: Iolite Table Lamp THE DESIGNER: Jean-Louis Deniot FIND IT: bakerfurniture.com THE INSPIRATION: The Iolite table lamp is one clever chameleon, sparking a curious source of inspiration. And that is exactly what Jean-Louis Deniot intended to do with this striking design made of brass and alabaster. Fashioning an organic, naturalistic shape, the French design luminary left the product open to interpretation: Is it a shell encasing a pearl or a peacock feather? Either way, this sculptural piece provokes conversation and brightens any space it inhabits.

JONATHAN MEIZLER

FASHION DESIGNER & FOUNDER TITLEOFWORK.COM

Heritage: Baker’s craftsmanship has been highly regarded from its inception, and to this day, the quality stands up to its name. Material: I am intrigued by the artful contrasts in Deniot’s design—the hard and soft, the smooth and the liquid, the metallic and the organic; together, they strike a beautiful balance and create harmony. Recall: A striking piece like Deniot’s anchors a room or creates a conversation. It evokes a memory, dream or inspiration. To me, it feels a little Deco. Necessary Extravagance: Luxury is all about dreaming. It’s being able to afford to have the time to grasp the unnecessary. Time is our biggest luxury. Fashion x Interiors: If you don’t need it, it’s luxury, and that applies across any category.

HAYDEN LASHER HANDBAG DESIGNER HAYDENLASHER.COM

Signature: Celerie Kemble’s designs are fresh yet traditional, and many of her pieces feel as if they could have been handed down through generations— the perfect combination of contemporary and nostalgia. Details: These boxes epitomize luxury because they don’t just serve a purpose; they are also special and artistic. The devil is in the details, and there is no better way to tie a space together than with the accessories. Recall: They remind me of a box my grandmother used to keep in her library that was full of matchbooks she collected from her travels around the world. Composition: The way the boxes are enveloped by de Le Cuona’s lush linen makes it feel like you have just unwrapped a gift. Fashion x Interiors: Kemble’s mixture of rattan and brass reads as smart, distinctive and tailored—a winning combination in all facets of design.

TREASURE TROVE THE PIECE: Rattan & Brass Boxes THE DESIGNER: Celerie Kemble FIND IT: maitland-smith.com THE INSPIRATION: It’s no question that Celerie Kemble is a fan-favorite, and her chic and livable interiors have effortlessly translated into an accessories line with Maitland-Smith. Case in point: these rattan and brass boxes, envisaged with a modern blend of natural materials and a glimmer of glamour—an adored Kemble trademark.

MARKET / SPOTLIGHT

GREAT HEIGHTS THE PIECE: Fulcrum Candlesticks THE DESIGNER: Lee Broom FIND IT: leebroom.com THE INSPIRATION: Once again, Lee Broom takes us to another level with his just-the-right-amount-of-edge Fulcrum candlesticks. Exploring the capabilities of pivots and supports, Broom employed solid Carrara marble to put his ideas into practice. Considering the products’ colossal and sculptural presence, one is easily reminded that these are indeed not your grandmother’s candlesticks.

KARLA GALLARDO, COFOUNDER & CEO SHILPA SHAH, COFOUNDER & CXO CUYANA.COM

Detail: Luxury is in the details, and Lee Broom’s candlesticks have been carefully conceptualized; his vision and modernity are very in-line with the Cuyana aesthetic. Material: Marble is so rich and transcendent yet its natural texture commands attention in a subtly powerful way. Fashion x Interiors: The two run parallel in that rich materials and beautiful craftsmanship are of equal importance. Incorporating these precious finds into your home— and closet—can make the everyday feel elevated. Timelessness: It’s important to bring the customer back to the essence of a product through its materials and design. To invest in luxury is to invest in something that will bring you comfort and gratification for years to come.

CUTTING EDGE THE PIECE: Alchemy Table THE DESIGNERS: Lauren Larson and Christian Swafford FIND IT: material-lust.com THE INSPIRATION: The self-described “dark horses of design” enamor us with the latest addition to their Geometry is God collection: the Alchemy table. In maintaining a keen focus on their Solitarian design philosophy and distinct aesthetic, this piece—driven by the alchemical symbolism for air, earth, fire and water—personifies the duo’s fascination and commitment to ancient symbols and a proclivity to reinterpret these markings in contemporary and striking ways.

LELA ROSE

FASHION DESIGNER LELAROSE.COM

Continuity: Lauren and Christian have such a strong aesthetic that is present in really every piece they design—I always respect a dedication to an artistic ideal. Material: Brass, both polished and brushed (as in this case), always screams luxury to me. Recall: The calculated proportions and mixed-metal finishes are reminiscent of the Cubism period. Composition: I love the rough yet lavish vibe of the background textile, which especially complements the brilliant polish and high design of the Alchemy table. Evolution: I don’t think that luxury and formality are mutually exclusive. I want to feel luxurious in what I wear, the quality of it, how it fits the body; similarly, I want to cultivate pieces for my home that evoke that same feeling. Big or small, whether you wear it or just admire it, luxury goods bring you joy.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

IN THE 21 CENTURY ST

Technology has influenced and affected every industry in design—its ubiquity has forced even the most ardent of purists to adapt in one way or another. But simply adapting is not enough: The survival of today’s leading manufacturers of luxury, bespoke goods has been contingent upon their ability to find an equilibrium between handmade and high-tech. “The Mark of the Maker” takes a look inside some of the most respected companies in their fields, recognized for their painstakingly intricate building processes and commitment to pre-modern artisanal forms of production.

THE MARK OF THE MAKER

SUN VALLEY BRONZE When Bob and Debbie Commons started Sun Valley Bronze over 20 years ago near the resort town of Sun Valley, Idaho, the goal was to create something better, more durable and with greater integrity than what was already on the market. Bob was in the high-end residential building industry, and Debbie was drafting architectural plans; they observed a void in the market when it came to the finish details for high-end residences. Sun Valley Bronze succeeded in fulfilling its objectives and has grown into a leading manufacturer of fine architectural hardware. A factor that has propelled the company to the upper echelon of decorative hardware is its ability to adapt to change in the marketplace, from design preferences to technological advances in conceptualization and building. “When Sun Valley Bronze first started, all patterns were made in a wood shop by hand. Today, we are using state-of-the-art 3-D modeling software and CNC milling machines that are all manufactured in California at the Haas CNC factory. We collaborate with Boise State University to realize some of our more complicated designs with 3-D printing technology,” Bob explains. Sun Valley Bronze’s work, known for its simple, clean and timeless qualities, is driven by ergonomics and process. “Service and quality are the most important parts of our company,” he says. “We are focused on making products we are proud of, crafted of the highest quality materials and made in the U.S., and we back it up with friendly, prompt and honest service.”

“

Our clients are looking for one-ofa-kind products designed to last.

INSIDE SUN VALLEY BRONZE Fresh + favorite collections. Sun Valley Bronze is excited to introduce its new lighting collection, including the freestanding Otto lamp. A favorite of Bob’s is the patented adjustable ball-bearing hinge, which is a resounding success because it works so flawlessly. Provenance. Sun Valley Bronze designs and manufactures all of its products proudly in the U.S. Newly acquired. Sun Valley Bronze purchased Reveal Designs, which manufactures exceptional modern hardware, all designed by its worldrenowned design partners. Artistic update. Sun Valley Bronze is now casting brass in addition to its white and silicon bronze. Fun family fact. The lock key cover was designed by the Commons’ son Josh. He designed it to fit his thumbprints so the cover could easily be pushed from side to side. That small interaction with the hardware guided his process and is why the key cover has the unique ridge in the face of the design.

1. Assembly. Sun Valley Bronze hardware assembly includes stainless steel components and Teflon-coated springs for flawless function and to ensure longevity in humid or coastal climates. 2. Casting. The furnace heats the bronze to a pouring temperature of 2250° Fahrenheit.

The hallmark of Hubbardton Forge lighting is design that is graceful and unembellished, allowing the materials and forms to speak for themselves.

HUBBARDTON FORGE

”

A dynamic and diverse mélange of creative talent converges at the Hubbardton Forge headquarters in Castleton, Vermont, where one-of-a-kind, sculptural lighting is brought to life through deft craftsmanship and ingenuity. A team of more than 225 designers, artisans, metal crafters, welders, production staff members and customer service professionals contributes to Hubbardton Forge’s long-standing success and designation as one of the U.S.’s most esteemed lighting manufacturers. In addition to its exclusively made-in-America practices, Hubbardton Forge is unwavering in its use of quality materials and artful, handcreated building methodologies. “At Hubbardton Forge, we are designers and makers; each piece is made to order, whether a single piece or every corridor of a hotel,” explains David Kitts, Design Director of the company. “Each fixture will have its own personality brought forth from the fires of the forge.” Blending the time-honored with the avant-garde, Hubbardton Forge continues to find equilibrium in a technologically driven marketplace. “We still use the hammer and anvil on some designs, but technology, especially LEDs, has had a major impact on our practices. The light source is no longer secondary in the design development process but is now often the driver in the design,” Kitts says. “Working with a local LED manufacturer, we’re able to do things we never thought possible. We can bend the lighting element to become an integral part of a fixture’s sculpture, or we can suspend the metal sculpture and envelop it with a wash of up/down light from an LED light guide platform that is part of its forged steel frame.” 1

THE DESIGN PROCESS Who: The designers at Hubbardton Forge come from backgrounds in architecture, engineering and even jewelry design. They possess a wealth of knowledge and a deep respect for all art forms. What: Designers work individually and as a team, brainstorming, sketching, meeting and critiquing, often pushing themselves and each other to create designs that celebrate form, materials and artistry that can only be achieved through handcrafted design. Where: American-made, in Castleton, Vermont. Why: To merge “art and illumination.” “Given the choice, don’t we want our lives to be illuminated artfully throughout the day?” asks Hubbardton Forge’s V.P. of Marketing, Jeanne-Marie Gand.

DACOR

Innovation and heritage are both honored in the creation and execution of DACOR-made appliances. DACOR (Distinctive Appliance CORporation) was incorporated in 1965 in Los Angeles; however, its origins date back to the Stananthony Corp., established in 1948 by Stan and Anthony Joseph. The company was founded on the credo of “innovations that matter,” which was reflected in its first product: a complete self-contained kitchen ventilation hood system for the high-end residential market. This credo is still woven into DACOR’s corporate ethos and can be seen in the many industry firsts credited to the brand. “We don’t innovate to be fashionable,” says Michael West, director of marketing at DACOR. “We only pursue innovations that will matter and make a tangible difference to the home chef. A great example is the DACOR iQ product that integrates a computer tablet into the oven operation.” Founded and based in California, DACOR finds inspiration in the design, technological, educational and entrepreneurial subcultures that distinguish the state and seeks influence and insight from other industries and leading professionals in their field. “DACOR’s design team pays attention to technology changes, such as induction cooking and control methods like integrating Android tablets for better performance and usability. DACOR taps outside talent such as BMW Designworks USA and the chefs at Le Cordon Bleu (who have tested and recommended our cooking products) to improve its offerings to keep them cutting-edge,” West explains.

IF YOU KNOW A TRUFFLE GUY IN FRANCE, YOU’RE A DACOR CHEF. Dacor is built for the world’s most demanding chefs. And you, mon petit chou, are exactly the breed of culinary enthusiast Dacor appliances are designed to please.

BERNHARDT Bernhardt-built: It’s a legacy that honors hundreds of beautifully made furnishings crafted over a century. One of the largest family-owned companies in the country, Bernhardt is led today by the fourth generation of Bernhardts, enabling the firm’s rich history to live on through a deeply committed familial leadership. From its earliest days, furniture making has been an artisanal skill, passed down from generation to generation. Bernhardt honors the origins of the craft—as do its employees. “Over the 127 years we’ve been in business, generations of artisans have passed their expertise on to the next, while incorporating new technologies and innovative ways of making furniture,” shares Alex Bernhardt Jr., Bernhardt’s CEO and president. “The creativity, ingenuity and dedication of countless fathers and mothers, sons and daughters and husbands and wives form the bedrock of our company.” Founded in 1889 by John Mathias Bernhardt, Alex Bernhardt Jr.’s great-grandfather, Bernhardt was born upon the tenets of high-caliber materials, craftsmanship and people. “Leveraging the region’s natural resources and local woodworking skills to strengthen the local economy, he [John] opened his factory with vast ambitions and 25 employees. Our original guiding principle was quality craftsmanship in all our products and a responsibility and partnership with the people of our community,” Alex explains. Bernhardt’s case goods and upholstery are cherished and coveted globally, showcasing thoughtful originality and meticulous execution: they can be found adorning the interiors of posh five-star hotels, private residences and revered public institutions. “Our hope is that when someone looks at a piece of furniture, they will know it is Bernhardt by its style,” he says.

INSIDE BERNHARDT: HERITAGE AND DESIGN

“

We are dedicated to the idea of affordable luxury.

What is the philosophy behind your firm? The company’s history is one of creativity and passion for the artistry of furniture making, united with a deep commitment to people and relationships. Is your work easily recognizable? Do you have signature design elements? Particularly in our home collections, our brand is known for creating jewelry for the home, creating luxury moments where we live. This is usually accomplished by mixing different finishes and materials, with an emphasis on a variety of metals. Do you have a design process? If so, what is it? We create a palette of colors and materials and then create forms to clothe in these various textures. We rarely create a single piece in a vacuum. It’s always about the mix within a room.

PERSONAL TOUCH IN THE HOME’S BUSIEST SPACES, LUXURY MEANS DITCHING COOKIE-CUTTER STYLE FOR HIGHLY CUSTOM LOOKS THAT ARE BRIMMING WITH ONE-OF-A-KIND PANACHE. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

There is no staple recipe for the perfect kitchen or bath. And while a few tried-and-true formulas can get you pretty close (think one-part design inspiration from your favorite shelter magazine, one-part your preferred color and material palettes and two-parts whatever works for your family and lifestyle), the time it takes to cook up all the elements varies widely from person to person and project to project. Only one thing remains consistent: The most successful rooms in the home are those you fill with the things you love. The secret to design bliss is knowing when to break the rules in favor of additions—like an elegant chandelier over a freestanding tub or a bold rug in the kitchen—that make you uniquely happy. On the following pages, we convince some of Luxe’s favorite designers to spill the secrets behind their most-coveted—and therefore inherently covetable—spaces.

Interior designer Laura Burleson didn’t overlook a single detail in designing her casual yet sophisticated workhorse space but still managed to have plenty of fun, playing with texture and color and introducing unexpected elements throughout. lauraburleson.com

Favorite element in the space? The campaignstyle sink base. I fell in love with a giant vintage chest in London during the remodel, but its dimensions were off; instead, I had a cabinetmaker build a replica out of walnut and brass hardware.

Share the vision for your kitchen. I wanted the space to feel like a dining room that happens to have a kitchen on the periphery, rather than a kitchen with a table in the middle; so, I eliminated traditional upper cabinets and designed the cabinetry to look more like furniture.

How did you master the mix? In this space, the walnut sink base and cypress ceilings dictated the palette, so I used Farrow & Ball’s Elephant’s Breath on the cabinetry, hood and walls to unite the wooden undertones—thereby drawing the eye to the more dominant elements.

A study in contrasts, this bathroom’s warm brass faucets from Waterworks pop against a palette of whites and grays established by floor tiles from New Ravenna. The washstand is from Palmer, and the sconces are from Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co.

When interior designer Marianne Simon decided she wanted to capture a bit of coastal elegance in a Seattle bathroom, she could think of only one material that would bring her vision to life: brass. Used sparingly throughout— on the cool nautical-style mirrored medicine cabinets from RH, the seafaring sconces overhead, and the pretty-as-a-picture washstand and matching faucets—the brass both pops against the clean subway tiles and reins in the dizzying intrigue of the abstract tiles underfoot. “Brass, especially the unlacquered brass I used here, is really hot right now,” Simon says. “It patinas beautifully and adds warmth. It’s a great alternative to other finishes, especially in spaces you don’t want to feel too sweet. It truly just gets better and better with time.” mariannesimondesign.com 236 / LUXESOURCE.COM

THE CHALLENGE: To brighten up an Upper East Side couple’s spacious yet unexciting apartment to reflect their lively and energetic personalities. “The goal was to lighten it up and give it a more playful and youthful character,” explains interior designer John Willey. “They love color and a fun, jazzy quality.” THE WORK: Willey started off using a color palette of gray, black, pale blue, ivory and pops of cranberry—as seen in the living room furnishings, fabrics and accents—and also bleached all of the floors throughout the entire apartment a beautiful Scandinavian gray for a dreamy, in-the-clouds impression that makes the spaces feel calm and

serene. Perhaps the most difficult yet intriguing task for the designer was to completely revamp the dark entry hall into a mesmerizing gallery filled with bright colors and various patterns. “The goal was to create sort of an abstracted Chinese puzzle box for a ‘wow’ effect when you walk into the apartment,” he says. THE RESULT: This once dreary apartment has entirely transformed itself into a radiant home full of life and serenity. “It’s all cool colors,” Willey says. “When you walk in, it’s very calm and soothing, which is the entire point of an apartment in New York City. You want to have a dip in an oasis after coming in from the stressors of the city.”

THE CHALLENGE: Design a home in the Hudson Valley—with inspiring architecture by the late Edgar A. Tafel—that would adhere to the natural world and all of the beauty that surrounds it. “I knew the house was ‘the one’ the moment I saw it,” the owner says. THE WORK: The owner turned to designers and sisters Jayne Michaels and Joan Michaels to achieve exactly what he envisioned for the interiors of his home while also keeping his priceless vintage items on display. “We developed a great back-and-forth dialogue about what worked in the home,” says Joan Michaels, “and we all responded mostly to items that came to us from our antiques dealer friends—these very unique, slightly rustic pieces with character.” This can be

seen in the porch, where a vintage leather sofa and a coffee table by Percival Lafer, both from Weinberg Modern, join chairs from Magen H. Gallery over a Moroccan rug from Doris Leslie Blau. Set against a background of wood and stone, the pieces give the home a style as rich, classic and ageless as its architecture. THE RESULT: With its million-dollar views, and all of the natural materials used, this house really gives off a sense of the great outdoors to anyone who is lucky enough to visit. “We kept everything low and sparse very purposefully,” says Jayne Michaels. “When someone walks in, we want their eyes to go right past the furniture to the outside, so that they can instantly be reminded of what a special place they’re in.”

THE CHALLENGE: Homeowners Tod and Bonnie Greenfield search for a way to turn their aging house into a newly renovated abode for them and their two teenage daughters that captures their modernist spirit. “We couldn’t find any place that we liked better than our special piece of land, so we opted to just knock our house down and start over,” Tod says. THE WORK: Although a difficult task, architect Stuart Narofsky decided to cover the walls, seen here in the living area, entirely of concrete. However, the most striking aspect of this house is that nearly every room has direct access to the rolling green lawn through its unique J shape and floor-to-ceiling windows, where

the sunlight shines through almost magically and makes it seem as if the house is part of the landscape outside. To reinforce the connection to the exterior, the living area is furnished with oversize seating designed to resemble large boulders emerging from the ground. “The house is full of discoveries,” Narofsky says. THE RESULT: Not only did the owners find a house that truly reflects their lighthearted spirit, they also found one that incorporates all of the great amenities found right outside their backyard. And Tod and Bonnie aren’t the only admirers of their new home, as Narofsky exclaims, “Whenever I visit the house, I’m just in awe.”

REAL ESTATE INSIDERS DISH ON THE STATE OF THE LUXURY HOME MARKET: WHAT’S SELLING, WHO’S BUYING, AND WHAT’S HOT NOW. WRITTEN BY MIMI FAUCETT

ON THE MARKET When we asked Jacksonville interior designer Jim Howard to share his design philosophy, he quoted Winston Churchill, saying, “My tastes are simple. I am easily satisfied by the best.” These words seem to ring even truer today, especially when we look at the current state of luxury real estate. To the high-end homebuyer (or seller), today’s unlimited options and unprecedented modern amenities have created a whole new world of knowledge and access, but one thing has remained constant: When it comes to home, we want the best—the best home or condo, in the best neighborhood, on the best block, with all the bells and whistles. And what does that mean in today’s market? Here, we speak with some of the industry’s biggest power players—from a renowned home stager with an eye for what sells to the nation’s top real estate agents—to find out what’s prompting bidding wars all over the country.

THE LOOK / THE REPORT

WE ASKED FIVE TOP REAL ESTATE AGENTS ABOUT THE TRENDS THEY’RE SEEING IN THEIR OWN BACKYARDS.

GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT

THE RIGHT LIGHT

The right lighting can make—or break—the sale of your home. A successful lighting scheme comprises a harmonious mixture of ambient, task and accent lighting, so a homeowner can easily choose the mood of the room and increase its functionality. The rule of thumb in interior lighting is to layer all three. Volker Haug’s Discus fixture (shown here) covers all the bases. It is simple and efficient with one exposed bulb, but its decorative marble disks, paired with a brushed-brass finish, create interest and add a pop of color. volkerhaug.com

Which neighborhood is the safest bet for a return on investment? In Greenwich, I don’t think of a specific area as having a better return on investment, but rather a home itself. I also believe that we have gone back to buying a home to live in and for family, not just for investment. Unless, of course, you are an investor looking to invest. Where do new buyers want to be? I have been fortunate enough to have young buyers looking to stay in the urban core and others opting for the suburbs. Barbara Zaccagnini, Coldwell Banker, coldwellbanker.com

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA Most outrageous home you’ve ever sold? An 11,000-square-foot concretesteel-and-glass contemporary estate, all on one level, in Paradise Valley on one of the best streets in town. Which neighborhood is having a moment? Rio Verde Foothills is making national news thanks to its dedication to sustainability practices. What do buyers want? Contemporary architecture has become very popular

since we over-delivered Tuscan and Mediterranean design for the past 15 years. Most buyers are favoring open-floor plans, clean lines and an efficient use of space. Where do buyers want to be? Arizona buyers should be zeroing in on the 85253, 85255 and 85018 area codes. Frank Aazami, Sotheby’s, sothebysrealty.com

have, offices in the central business district and that is where their employees want to live. Traffic is a problem in Austin; so, proximity to where you work and spend your free time is essential. Which neighborhoods should we be keeping our eyes on? I would watch the areas close to the new Dell Medical School and the redevelopment of Waller Creek. These two pillars in Austin will be changing our city. Laura Gottesman, Gottesman Residential Real Estate, gottesmanresidential.com

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Which neighborhood is having a moment? The North Shore is well-established, but there is also a ton of new construction in reinvigorated areas, some of which are being built up by prominent developers. Where does everyone want to be? Millennials are staying in the urban core for an easy commute; they often do not have cars. Families and other age groups are still opting for the suburbs due to lower taxes, schools and the desire for a quieter lifestyle. Linda Martin, Coldwell Banker, coldwellbanker.com

AUSTIN, TEXAS Where does everyone want to be this season? Our urban core is booming in both commercial and residential development. Many of the big tech companies have, or will

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON Most outrageous home you’ve ever sold? The highest priced home we have sold to date was over $20 million, and it still holds the record for the highest sale in Washington. It was an unbelievable custom home on the water with beachfront, looking directly at the Seattle skyline. Neighborhoods we should keep an eye on? Areas east and north of the city are seeing a lot of growth and redevelopment. We are excited about The Spring District in Bellevue and what that will bring to those areas. What locale is having a moment? The West Bellevue community on the east side of Seattle has seen the greatest appreciation year over year. Tere Foster and Moya Skillman, Team Foster at Avenue Properties, fosterrealty.com

center STAGE

Meridith Baer knows what sells. Her namesake home staging firm, which was started by accident in 1995 when she fixed up a home she was leasing and the landlord took notice, has grown from a one-woman show in Los Angeles to a team of 250 operating offices in L.A., Manhattan, the Hamptons, Connecticut, Florida and San Francisco. Just last year, her busy roster of designers completed nearly 1,500 installs. “Really what staging is, is a marketing tool,” says Baer. “We want someone to walk into a home and fall in love.” meridithbaer.com Why does someone need a stager? When you want to sell a house quickly and for the best possible price, a stager is a near necessity. You’re designing a blank room. First item you introduce to the space? Your large pieces of furniture are where you must start. You want to find the focus of the room—it might be a view or a fireplace—and plan your seating arrangement around it. Homebuyers are looking for... Comfort and ease. Buyers should think: It’s going to be easy to live here. It’s going to be easier than where I am now. Share what always helps a sale. A beautifully made, comfortable sofa that you just want to dive into really makes a space. Having quality primary pieces makes a big difference in a room.

4 OPEN HOUSE NEW YORK

A DRAMATIC LOFT IN TRIBECA Tucked inside an industrial-style loft in downtown New York City is a grand home currently owned by J.Crew CEO Mickey Drexler. As stylish and colorful as expected, the Thierry Despontdesigned home features an entry inspired by the Maison de Verre in Paris, a rooftop terrace and lofty ceilings. Why we love it: The five-bedroom stunner was once an old coffee roasting plant whose signage still remains, adding to its charm. $27.5 million, 464 Greenwich St.; corenyc.com

A WATERFRONT SANCTUARY ON THE BEACH If you were to imagine what Calvin Klein’s home might look like, there’s no doubt his now for-sale Miami Beach retreat would fit the bill. The open and airy interiors by Axel Vervoordt are minimally decorated with crisp neutral tones, unfinished materials, sturdy antiques and handmade furniture. Why we love it: The 5,800-square-foot home boasts copious outdoor space complete with an infinity pool and sweeping bay views. $16 million, 4452 N. Bay Rd.; elliman.com

A COUNTRY HOUSE GOES CALIFORNIA-COOL Fashion and furniture designer James Perse reimagined his barn-like property with an effortlessly cool aesthetic perfect for the home’s beachside locale. Located in Point Dume in Malibu, with keyed access to Little Dume beach, the sixbedroom abode is situated on nearly 2 acres. Why we love it: Hints of its seaside environs are seen throughout the home, most notably in the custom surfboards that act as spontaneous décor. $12.9 million, 28929 Bison Ct.; compass.com

Florida designer Jim Howard, of James Michael Howard, has earned quite the reputation for his prolific work in designing spec homes. Unlike the cookie-cutter residences of yesteryear that gave spec homes their colorless reputation, in Howard’s turnkey homes, no detail or expense is spared. Each home comes fully appointed with innovative materials and custom furniture pieces (Exhibit A: the Sagaponack, New York, residence below). Here, Howard shares his tried-and-true tips for creating a stylish house sure to please almost any design sensibility. jamesmichaelhoward.com

Look around: Designing for a client is designing for a specific intent or a particular need. In a spec house,

you’re constantly trying to figure out who your buyer is. Pay attention to what I call the vernacular style, or what is happening in the surrounding area. It’s all in the details: Our firm has a strong architectural focus. A typical house for us starts with countless drawings of interior details. Those small things, when done well, are the soul of the house. It takes time, experience and passion. I always say, “There’s doing it right and there’s all the rest of the ways.” Tone it down: I tend to stay more neutral in palette and introduce color in art. In the house shown here, we have plenty of color, but it’s watered down, with varied textures and metals acting as moments of “color.”

READY TO WEAR

STATE OF THE

ARCHITECTURE Since opening his eponymous architecture firm in Austin, Texas, in 2005, Michael Hsu has had a front-row seat to the capital city’s rapidly shifting design scene. His work includes such local gems as the buzzy South Congress Hotel, the much-acclaimed Japanese eatery Uchi, and other area restaurants, office spaces and luxury residences. “There’s a pursuit to be fresh in design, entrepreneurship and culture,” say Hsu of his design-forward locale. “Austin still has a local vibe, but things that we look toward are no longer regional; they are international.” We sat down with the busy architect to discuss the state of architecture today—and where it’s headed. hsuoffice.com

How have homeowners’ tastes changed since you founded your firm 11 years ago? Homeowners are less tied to specific design style or aesthetic. The influence of social media has changed our clients’ perspective on design. They are more educated about hospitality and style and have really amped up their participation in the creative discovery process. What do your clients look for when they’re building a new home? For the most part, they’re looking to construct an open dialogue between their indoor and outdoor spaces to create an extension of the home’s living area. Even when not in use, the views need to be carefully designed so that the inside and outside amplify each other. Where is architecture going? The way people live and work has drastically changed as of late. The usual hierarchy of home, office and hospitality is blurred; we want design in all facets of our lives. In the future, these spaces will continue to be a part of our lives in similar ways as opposed to different.

Most impactful spaces to remodel? It always comes down to kitchens and bathrooms, which are typically the first places a buyer assesses the date and quality of the home. Downsize or upsize? Buy a presale to downsize but don’t sell your current home until it’s required when the new home is delivered. This allows equity to grow on both transactions in a market that’s rising. realogics.com

What do you keep in mind when helping clients find a home? I look at their personality, lifestyle, price point and needs. Young families who stay in the city are often searching for highly rated public schools. In the downtown market, buyers want convenience, walkability and views. True or false: location, location, location? Absolutely true— especially in the high-end market. jamesonsir.com

Curb appeal or big-name architect? Both. Curb appeal is always sought after and brings an exceptionally high premium to a home, but architects that bring life to older historic properties also bring value. Market trend you’re noticing: Buyers choosing quality over size is a welcome trend. Also, I’m happy to see dark, heavy finishes being replaced with spacious, light-filled design. wolfegroupdenver.com

Any exceptional amenities you’re seeing? I’ve started to see talking toilets recently, if you can believe it! Upsize or downsize? Downsize. Get out of your living room and enjoy your neighborhood and the city you live in—or at least have a reason for your kids not to move back home! Stager or no stager? Stager. Making a property look its best needs no explanation; we do dress ourselves up, don’t we? elliman.com

Top things buyers are looking for today? Quality construction and finishes are first; next, is a livable floor plan. Whether it is family game night or an elegant dinner party, people want an open and flowing living space. Where do new buyers want to be? The “live, work, play” lifestyle is here to stay. People don’t want to burn a half-tank of gas to get to the office and back. waltdanley.com

If the kitchen is the heart of the home; then, the sink is its heartbeat. These days, it seems that high-end faucets and five-star hotel quality fixtures are ubiquitous with luxury residences. Manhattan’s 432 Park Avenue, for example, offers both spectacular views and modern furnishings complemented by polished-chrome fittings from Dornbracht. “Our quality and innovative design was a perfect fit for the project,” says President and CEO of Dornbracht Americas Ingolf Matthée. “As a luxury brand, Dornbracht represents high-quality materials and craftsmanship, and this exclusive building, which we are privileged to be a part of, follows these same principles.” The Deborah Berke Partners-designed model apartment (shown) features Dornbracht’s Tara collection— a staple in the German company’s repertoire—in both the kitchen and bathroom. dornbracht.com

MOVING ON UP

With increasing frequency, today’s luxury homebuyers are eschewing sprawling square footage and green space and choosing instead to stay in the city center and invest in luxury condos. In the case of The Sutton condominium, it’s easy to see the appeal. The 90 residences, designed by New York-based Incorporated Architecture & Design, feature lofty ceiling heights, stunning white oak flooring and sweeping views of Manhattan. The gracious units contain state-of-the-art appliances, such as Gaggenau cooktops and custom Watermark fixtures in the bathroom. The exterior, too, is clad in classic brick, which serves as a sort of ode to the area’s traditional building materials. Its design strikes the perfect balance between New York’s industrial past and modern architectural innovations. When can we move in? incorporatedny.com

BAKES & KROPP

“

The definition of true luxury is comfort, not fussiness. Luxury exists in a sense of harmony and balance that is hard to define, but easy to feel.

If Robert Bakes and Paul Kropp could offer one piece of advice on cabinetry, it would be to “take a closer look at luxury.” Bakes, president, and Kropp, COO of the New York City-based cabinetry design and manufacturing company Bakes & Kropp, have mastered the art of fine cabinetry, giving way to highly tailored spaces teeming with creative storage, cooking and entertaining solutions. “Our work is very distinctive: custom range hoods, hand-fit joinery, select lumber and high-end hardware are just a few of the highlights,” Kropp explains. Inspired by a design concept Bakes & Kropp refer to as “white with a twist,” the cabinetry connoisseurs have a penchant for taking a modern approach to traditional inset cabinetry by accenting it with new signature colors, finishes, unique door profiles and touches of polished metals, mesh and textured glass. The result is an original, distinctive look underscored by enduring style and high functionality. “Ultimately, it is cabinetry that is going to hold its design and performance for years to come,” Bakes says. “The most important thing to us is providing that for our clients—exceeding their expectations in that way.”

”

THE CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN + Clients are easing past their safe zone of an all-white kitchen and taking more liberties with colors and textures that reflect their sense of style. These kitchens can have a sense of warmth and personality, but still maintain a non-trendy, classic appeal. + Shades of gray continue to climb the color dominance scale, but neutral pastels are also making an appearance. + Bakes & Kropp have observed a more exaggerated pairing of flat matte and high-gloss surfaces together as well as an increase in polished metal accents.

1. Natural walnut and polished metals contrast elegantly with Meridian-style cabinetry in white. 2. Ocean blue accents and accessories pop against Watermark-style cabinetry in a white hand-painted finish. 3. Pearl Walnut, a Bakes & Kropp Signature Finish, is soft, light and beach-inspired in this master vanity. 4.

In the heart of the Flatiron District, a thriving NYC downtown design center, is Paula McDonald Design Build & Interiors, a residential design-build firm with a breadth of experience in the art of the kitchen and bath remodel. Owner Paula McDonald offers insight into what makes a kitchen work in the realms of aesthetics and utility. “A well-designed and built kitchen is a transformation of the space that requires, in a contemporary design, less to become more. Ultimately, the kitchen is as practical and perfect as it can be for the client’s lifestyle: it is beautiful and integrated architecturally with the overall space,” she explains. “Every detail is carefully crafted into the end result. The impact of the overall design should transcend the details, including light, color and texture of the space in a way that is cohesive with the spatial integration of the kitchen in the residence.” The approach to designing a bath, she notes, is no different than that of a kitchen: the devil is in the details. “With space being the largest constraint in most Manhattan residences, storage becomes a critical element, as does function. Achieving the spa quality of design and feeling for any size bathroom is the key. It is a small oasis to cleanse the spirit, and the goal is to create the environment for being pampered and soothed in the tiniest of bathrooms,” she says.

ASK THE DESIGN CONNOISSEUR PAULA MCDONALD What are the top style and material trends for 2016? Modern and contemporary styles and clean lines, which are considered European, have been a top style and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. Modern Shaker styles are a trend for transitional spaces in prewar buildings. Gray cabinets are a trend, whether modern or with cerused rift-cut finishes or painted. For apartments where kitchens are small, opening walls to integrate the kitchen and dining room is now common; formal dining rooms are a luxury found only in the highest end apartments. Drawer microwaves and dual convection microwave ovens that are separate from the cooktop are trending, along with no-maintenance countertops in quartz.

“ SIGNATURE INTERIOR DESIGNS

The relationship between the designer and client is crucial to the success of any design.

”

In Brooklyn and beyond, there are noteworthy changes taking place in the design and composition of kitchens. Minda Baez, vice president and partner at Signature Interior Designs, knows this better than most, as she and her team are prime movers behind many of these aesthetic and spatial design shifts. “Throughout the variety of our design styles we employ, we are moving toward chic, minimal lines juxtaposed with warm and inviting elements, raw materials and an attention to well-edited decorative accents in kitchen design,” she says. “Even with traditional styles, clean lines speak louder than overly ornamented decorations.” Signature Interior Designs is versed in a broad design vocabulary, creating highly personalized spaces that address everything from children’s storage to hightech appliances to environmental sensitivity to kosher requirements. “Understanding clients’ particular needs and styles is paramount to good design. Ultimately, this art and science combination delivers the optimum lifestyle design,” she says. In addition to customization, Baez stresses the importance of cohesion when designing. “As a kitchen design firm that also specializes in interior design, we create visual themes that unite all spaces. The harmony and unity should be in every corner of the home, and we assure all parts of this dynamic visual image relate to and complement each other,” she says.

here are some people in the world who would never be able to envision turning a loft designed for the ultimate bachelor, complete with an Ikeastyle kitchen, into an ultraglam yet family-friendly oasis. That was not the case, however, with a young Manhattan couple who purchased a penthouse near Union Square. “We believed that the benefits of being the only unit on the floor and the multitude of windows could allow the space to be transformed into a family home with a loft-like feel,” says the wife. “With that said, finding a great designer and architect that shared our vision was critical in realizing the transformation.” So, the couple turned to interior designer Nicole Fuller and architectural designer Alma Hadrovic, along with builder Martin Mora. “They just thought it was something they could grow into essentially,” says Fuller of the owners. “We started from the ground up, completely ripping out everything including the windows. It was brought down to studs.” The couple gave Fuller and Hadrovic the most basic guidance: “They said, ‘We love color and we trust you,’ ” explains Fuller. “So, Alma and I just went with it. I don’t think there’s one idea that they rejected.” Not that there wasn’t an occasional hesitancy on the homeowners’ end. Vintage blue chairs, chartreuse silk wallpaper in the entry and a purple couch against a purple rug— all grounded with black accents—create a dramatic impression, with the black giving the colorful apartment a sense of focus. “The black was a little tough to convince them of in the beginning,” says Fuller. “But I’m such a huge fan of the color. I think it brings a European elegance to the space.” The wife concedes that they were slightly wary of the idea initially. “We were a little hesitant in using black as a focal point,” she admits.

“THE OWNERS SAID, ‘WE LOVE COLOR AND WE TRUST YOU.’ SO WE JUST WENT WITH IT.” -NICOLE FULLER 290 / LUXESOURCE.COM

“However, Nicole walked us through her vision, and we took a leap of faith.” Now, she and her husband are, as Fuller describes their feelings, “madly in love with it.” Fuller also went for full-on drama in the master bathroom with a veiny marble throughout—and the homeowners jumped on board. “I had a lot of fun,” Fuller says. “To try and tell a client that not only do I want to put a marble like that all over, but also cut the slab that they just paid a fortune for and chevron the stone into a book-match pattern can be difficult. To have them say ‘okay’ was heaven.” But it wasn’t creating a dynamic main living space or glamorous master bathroom that was Fuller’s jumpingoff point. It was the baby’s room—more specifically, a swatch of fabric with a vintage African Congo print that she purchased. “I showed them the fabric and told them, ‘This is how we’re going to start the house, with the baby’s room,’ ” says Fuller. “They fell in love and said, ‘We have no idea what you’re talking about, but go for it.’ ” So the designer did exactly that, creating a sophisticated room with deep cobalt walls and neutral furniture that any New York City child could easily grow into. “I don’t do kiddie rooms,” says Fuller, “but we are in New York. These are sophisticated kids. You can still get all the elements of a baby in the right toys but still make the room elegant. New York City kids are educated. They’re going to The Met. They’re learning languages. They are taking karate.” The nursery wasn’t the only room designed to fit a city lifestyle. Fuller carefully planned the kitchen and dining areas around the homeowners’ personalities and passions. “They are very cool,” she says. “They love to entertain, and she is an amazing cook. They throw dinner parties all the time.” To suit this type of atmosphere, Fuller placed a vintage table alongside the dining area so that the wife can use it as a buffet for cocktails and food. She also incorporated a wine “wall” that wraps around the doorway of the great room. “The husband wanted to figure out how we could do a unique wine cellar,” says Fuller. “But instead of making it a closet, we designed it around the space.” She then brought in Joseph & Curtis Custom Wine Cellars to realize her vision—something simultaneously beautiful but also functional, serving as the crowning touch to a great room geared toward easy entertaining. “Our favorite aspect is the use of space,” says the wife. “Through Nicole and Alma’s careful planning, we were able to maintain a very spacious great room perfect for entertaining, while at the same time creating spaces that function well as a family home. The results exceeded our expectations.”

To create an immediate visual impact, interior designer Nicole Fuller used Koroseal watered-silk chartreuse wallpaper by Arte in the foyer. A vintage dyed Persian rug from ABC Carpet & Home, an Arredoluce 12-light chandelier and a bronze mirror from Flair Home Collection complement the dramatic shade.

A purple sofa from Piero Lissoni, purchased at BY New York, sits in the living area of the great room on a vintage dyed Persian rug from ABC Carpet & Home. To offset the strong use of purple, Fuller incorporated a custom white marble table from Silestone and a green lamp from Nest Interiors.

Fuller upped the ante of the man cave with a cozy yet sophisticated space; a custom-color Eames lounge chair with ottoman from WB Wood is the perfect chair for relaxing while watching television or reading a book. A Celeste accent table from Arteriors, an antique horsehair rug, Siris shades from Romoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sarasi collection, and a Drayton floor lamp in vintage brass from Metropolitan Lighting Fixture Co. fashion a masculine elegance.

For the master bedroom, the owners wanted a calming room that still had a touch of glamour. Antique white-oak nightstands, purchased at Century, straddle a custom Nicole Fuller Interiors bed topped with bed linens from E. Braun & Co. The pair of vintage Empire brass light fixtures creates the subtle glitz that the couple hoped for.

WHEN A COUPLEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ART COLLECTION EVOLVES, THEY DECIDE THEIR HOME NEEDS TO, AS WELL. WRITTEN BY ELAINE MARKOUTSAS PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOSHUA MCHUGH STYLING BY KELLEY CARTER

his is a story about love and passion and art, inextricably woven together. For most of their 37year marriage, a couple have lived in a co-op in a classic prewar building on the Upper East Side, which “has aged with history and elegance,” the wife says. They bonded over art (both of their parents also were collectors), married, had two children, and continued to collect together, even though they admittedly had different sensibilities. Most of the couple’s postwar art, including Dubuffet, Marini and Noguchi, was acquired during the past 30 years from galleries, auctions and private collections. But the past three years have been more devoted to contemporary pieces, such as Baselitz, Kiefer, Bourgeois, Chillida, Sterling Ruby, and artists of the Korean Dansaekhwa movement, including Kim Whanki and Lee Ufan. That was a turning point. “That’s when we decided that the apartment was to be renovated,” the wife says. “Homes need to be reinvented, just like wardrobes. In this case, the need was to become more contemporary.”

For interior designer Nina Wexler, rebooting the fourbedroom 6,100-square-foot apartment to a more minimal style was the perfect job. “My philosophy always has been ‘less is more,’ ” she says. “To me, a home should not only reflect the values of the people who live there, but it should serve as a backdrop to the personalities that embody it.” Throughout, the vibe is calming. “Life is hectic,” the wife says. “So, the need for calm and serenity inside our home was a priority.” Without altering the layout, Wexler worked with longtime friend and architect Mark Stumer, as well as general contractor Vincent DiSalvo, to modernize the interiors, creating spaces that would allow current and future art to breathe and be celebrated. “We wanted to create a loft-like feeling,” Wexler explains. Respecting the apartment’s great bones, they began to edit. Most of the moldings were stripped and replaced, and door widths were beefed up to 7 feet and heights raised to 9 ½ feet. In addition, vaulted ceilings were eliminated. Other cosmetic do-overs instantly shifted the tone. In the living room, Stumer says, “the original fireplace mantel was more detailed, higher in the wall, more of a statement piece.”

The living room fireplace is flanked by an Adolph Gottlieb painting and a 1965 oil, titled Echo, by abstract Korean artist Kim Whanki. The club chairs are from John Salibello.

Marino Mariniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Horse and Rider sculpture from 1952 makes as powerful a statement in the foyer as the large piece of art by Sterling Ruby. The dark-walnutstained 5 Â˝-inch rift-cut oakplank floor is from LV Wood.

Der Morgenthau Plan by Anselm Kiefer dominates one wall of the dining room; the acrylic emulsion oil and shellac painting was done directly on the canvas over photographs that the artist took on his property in southern France. Modern, clean-lined furnishings include a concrete-topped table that interior designer Nina Wexler conceived and leather-upholstered chairs with stainless-steel bases.

In its place now is a minimal surround in pristine white onyx, so as not to draw attention from the starring art. Likewise, the media room fireplace is nearly invisible—a slot in a blackened-steel surround, centered below an op-art light sculpture. Other thoughtful alterations include changes in window pockets, removing moldings so everything is flush. “It’s a much more contemporary look,” Stumer says. New lighting is perhaps the most significant installation, an elaborate fiber-optic system configured to adapt to rearranging art that required removal of the entire ceiling. “The lighting is pure white,” Stumer says, “most of it specific to the art. We didn’t need to be worried about lining up heads. It’s not a symmetrical design.” Wexler also specified plenty of table and floor lamps throughout the layout. “Lighting is so important to a home, with different layers,” she says. “It’s another way to add warmth, embrace a room.” With a revolving art collection, the designer knew it was essential for the palette to stay neutral. From soft offwhite to greige, the range is soothing, enhanced by tactile, sensual play with textiles such as bouclé, leather and Mongolian lamb. There are mohair- and suede-clad walls “for richness and character,” Wexler says, and lacquers for “dimension and luster.” Furnishings are commodious, designed with entertaining in mind. “Prior to the renovation,” the wife says, “there were several seating areas in the living room. But guests tend to congregate together, so we did a central seating zone.” Two 8-foot sofas, a pair of chairs and an upholstered bench are arranged conversationally around a custom glass-steel-andwood table set on what Wexler describes as a whimsically patterned rug. Nearby, the nearly 23-by-19-foot dining room is purposely low-key. But during meal time, the room comes to life—with the table set, flowers and guests enjoying each other’s company. “It’s warm and beautiful,” Wexler says. In the media 308 / LUXESOURCE.COM

room, lacquered cabinetry organizes books and offers closed storage in symmetry. One of the few bold colors in furnishings is a vivid blue lacquered cocktail table Wexler designed; it takes cues from the art. Stumer says a 1950s French industrial look inspired the library’s built-in lacquer-and-painted-glass cabinetry, with raised slots that create patterns at metal sides to hold glass shelves. A circa-1925 Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann desk is a centerpiece, part of the couple’s Art Deco collection. “Great Art Deco goes with everything,” Wexler says. The mix of styles is just what the clients desired. “They didn’t want to get stuck in any particular genre,

which is why the apartment is timeless,” Wexler says. “It’s contemporary, with an eclectic mix of period pieces that serves to anchor every room.” Regarding the art, there are still some issues on which the couple still agree to disagree. “He feels art speaks for itself and can be anywhere,” Wexler says. “She feels that there needs to be a conversation to make sense.” And even though it’s tough for them to let go of one piece when a new one comes in, the designer points out a distinct advantage: “It’s like a vacation for your eyes,” she says. “You can travel around the world without leaving home.”

Wexler designed the breakfast area’s table for a built-in banquette covered with Kravet fabric. The photograph that hangs above was taken by the husband; the light fixture is from the 1950s.

WILD HEARTS FLORAL DESIGN DUO PUTNAM & PUTNAM THINK OUTSIDE THE VASE TO CREATE ROMANTICALLY UNREFINED ARRANGEMENTS FOR NEW YORKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STYLISH SET. WRITTEN BY MIMI FAUCET / PHOTOGRAPHY BY EVAN SUNG

Putnam & Putnam sprung from Darroch Putnam (shown, right) posting images of his husband Michael’s personal creations on social media. Here, Michael uses sweet pea, lilac, plum foliage, ranunculus, Queen Anne’s lace and coneflower to create one of his highdemand floral designs.

ichael and Darroch Putnam are partners in every sense of the word, and a quick conversation with the duo behind their namesake floral design brand reveals all the charming nuances that come with a long-term relationship—they actually finish each other’s sentences. “We truly influence one another,” says Darroch. “We push each other creatively, and more importantly, we ensure each other’s sanity.” Entering the world of ranunculus and roses, especially professionally, was not part of the Putnams’ plan—well not at first anyway. After meeting—and falling in love—at a Trader Joe’s in Los Angeles, the pair moved to New York City, got married and Putnam & Putnam soon began to blossom. “I wanted to try something different and more tactile,” shares Michael, who at the time was on staff at Kravitz Design but spent his weekends at the flower market on 28th Street. He began to artfully arrange his findings in their admittedly tiny one-bedroom apartment on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Darroch photographed the unexpectedly poetic compositions and shared them on Michael’s personal Instagram feed. Word got around. Darroch explains, “It was apparent very quickly that Michael had a natural talent and magnetism over the craft.” They soon started receiving inquiries to embellish intimate dinners and small fashion presentations with their characteristic vine-filled arrangements. Within a year, the couple quit their respective jobs and launched their firm full-time in April of 2014. Today, the twosome is known for their largescale lyrical installations, dreamy wedding displays and avant-garde editorial spreads (see: Luxe’s recent May/June issue). While Michael creates and composes all of their intricate designs, Darroch, the more outgoing of the two, focuses on the 320 / LUXESOURCE.COM

photography and business end of things. Their enviable client list includes the likes of Vogue (a frequent collaborator), Cartier, Bergdorf Goodman and Dior, and they also created a custom floral print for fashion designer Adam Lippes’ Fall 2015 Ready-To-Wear collection. Of their rapid rise, Darroch muses, “It’s pretty wild.” Where the conception of their business was a bit happenstance, the success of it is a more practiced endeavor. “It’s really important to us that we are constantly pushing ourselves creatively and trying new things,” says Darroch. “We are never stale.” About once a month the Putnam & Putnam team—presently five full-time employees—clears everything off the calendar for what they call a Portfolio Day. “It’s a creative refresh,” Darroch explains. “We take the day off and get our whole staff in the studio to

work on a photo shoot.” The first incarnation of this design charrette resulted in an almost otherworldly monochromatic pink story, where rose-colored foliage was expertly styled amongst a myriad of other objects and materials, all dusted in moody blush tones. The Putnams, who are launching a line of “earthy” candles in September, have since moved operations from their living room to a quintessential warehouse space in Bushwick, and all their deliveries now come from a permanent pop-up shop inside Club Monaco’s flagship store on 5th Avenue. Through it all, though, Putnam & Putnam’s unique aesthetic— romantic but untamed—has remained a reflection of its creators: a pair of tattooed Lower East Siders that mastered the delicate art of floral design.

DUTCH MASTERY A FLEMISH REVIVAL TOWN HOUSE INHERITS A NEW HISTORY BEHIND ITS 19TH-CENTURY FAÃ&#x2021;ADE ON THE UPPER WEST SIDE.

INTERIOR DESIGN / LAURA KIRAR, LAURA KIRAR DESIGN ARCHITECTURE / THOMAS VAIL, VAIL ASSOCIATES ARCHITECTS

aura Kirar was putting the finishing touches on a West Side town house she had spent nearly two years designing and decorating when her clients announced they had already sold it. Along with that shocking news came her next assignment: The couple had purchased a landmarked Flemish Revival town house just a few doors down that would require a complete gut renovation. “There aren’t a lot of Flemish Revival town houses left in Manhattan,” Kirar says. “This was exciting for us, because we don’t often get to start from the ground up.” Thus began her mission to invent a new history behind the 1868 façade. From the outset, she wanted to honor its Dutch roots, but not literally. “I didn’t want to do a period house,” she says. “I wanted to pay homage to the period with a contemporary intervention of something that never would have been done in the 1860s.” Row houses of that era were notoriously dark, because closed-off rooms prevented light from flowing into the center. Kirar solved that problem by gutting the entire home, bringing in architect Thomas Vail, as well as builder Patricia Riley of Sunrise Construction, and creating a new design with a series of transomed glass walls. The dining room illustrates this “architectural language” with a curving wall of hand-poured seed glass framed in decorative metalwork, which is echoed across the transoms of the powder room and living room on the same level. “If someone were to create a gazebo or an aviary in Central Park in the 1860s, we imagined something that you would find there,” Kirar says of the design. She repeated this treatment in the upstairs library—this time with clear glass—and on the steam shower and bathtub enclosure in the master bathroom. At night, the bathroom’s light glows through an upper transom of translucent glass into the hallway on the other side. As Kirar set about filling the interiors, she continued to take historical cues from the architecture and from her clients’ collection of English antiques. The Flemish style

“THERE AREN’T A LOT OF FLEMISH REVIVAL TOWN HOUSES LEFT IN MANHATTAN. THIS WAS EXCITING FOR US.” -LAURA KIRAR

inspired her design for a fireplace surround in the dining room, for example, but she executed it with Raku tile that was hand-glazed and painted in Japan. Other unexpected elements include a modern Abstract Expressionist painting by Richmond Burton over a Regency table. In response to the wife’s request for a strong color scheme, Kirar proposed deep blue with a touch of aubergine for the walls. “It’s an interesting color with mahogany, which tends red,” she explains. “There are so many traditional colors and approaches you could take in here, but we just wanted to take the English antiques style and turn it on its ear.” The designer took more anachronistic turns in the living room, which contains several of the owners’ Chippendale antiques. Because that style carries Oriental inflections, she hung Chinese ancestor paintings on walls lacquered in deep coral. “It’s not red, so it’s not directly embracing chinoiserie, but the lacquer [treatment] itself pays respect to that style,” she says. Kirar also added a 1913 Viennese chest, which anchors the space across from a massive Flemishinspired custom fireplace under an antique Dutch mirror. About mixing so many styles and eras, she says, “It’s off in the best way.” Kirar achieved similar impact in the small upstairs library, though it was hard-won. Her clients loved a huge set of antique glass-enclosed bookshelves she had purchased for the previous house, but the set wouldn’t fit into this home. After a long search, however, they couldn’t find anything they liked better, nor did they think built-ins would achieve the right mood. So Kirar had a woodworker trim the cases to fit the narrower dimensions. Along with a set of custom oversize seating, she says, “It’s the perfect grand scale that’s so inviting. It makes you want to sit there and read.” Though most of the furnishings throughout the home’s five levels are custom, Kirar’s 20-year experience as a furniture designer shines most in the master bedroom. Few of the owners’ antiques are in this space, so she put her creativity to work—starting with a pair of shallow armoires that flank the fireplace. “This is our Flemish Revival moment,” she says, noting their curved upper moldings. Kirar also painted the pieces to expand the view visually beyond the room’s single set of French doors. “We wanted to create these imaginary windows—an additional landscape, so you feel like you’ve got more to look at,” she says. She also designed a Chinese Deco-style master bed, which she later modified to include in her second collection for Baker Furniture. Looking back, Kirar doesn’t consider the two years she spent on her clients’ previous town house as wasted. Rather, she sees it as time spent helping them realize what they wanted in a home. “I think they accepted bold decisions in this house that they hadn’t with the first one,” she says. “The process with the first house gave them confidence and trust in us, and I believe this was the dream house they always imagined for their family.”

Interior designer Laura Kirar commissioned Wesley Martel of Martel Design & Fabrication to fabricate her custom design for the curved wall that encloses the dining room off the entry. The arched mahogany entry doors were built by Select Door in North Java, New York.

For the powder room, Kirar found the antique Italian mirror and vintage 1940s sconces at the Paris Flea Market. The hammered-brass pedestal sink with a marble top is from Urban Archeology, as is the hand-poured tortoise-colored glass tile.

Is your work easily recognizable? Why or why not? All of our designs are well proportioned, focus on bringing in natural light, use warm materials and are the product of quality design. These tenets can result in any "style."

Joseph Vance, AIA 181 North 11th Street, Suite 202 Brooklyn, New York 718.383.1278 email@jvarchitects.com josephvancearchitects.com

How do you define a successful project? One where there has been a true collaboration with the client. Where we have taken their inspirational images, way of life and opportunities of the space and created a home that is even better than they had imagined. One that is beautiful, full of light and functional. Speaking to your line of work, what constitutes “good design”? Too often people think of good design as what they can see, the beauty part of it. Beauty is important, but it also has to work in daily life. Good design is always modern, regardless of style. It has timeless appeal.

JOSEPH VANCE ARCHITECTS A fine balance of pragmatism and bold creativity has propelled architect Joseph Vance into the upper echelon of urban residential design. Over the last three decades, Vance has made a name for himself for architectural work that is intelligent, dynamic and infused with passion and originality. The Brooklyn-based architect is recognized for his proclivity for analytical problem solving, a coveted talent when navigating the intricacies of loft, brownstone and apartment living. “I am willing to challenge traditions. Rather than saying something cannot be done, I believe in taking a step back to think through a complex problem and search for a solution that is not obvious,” he explains. “I make it a point to question the assumptions and rethink it in its entirety. The result, in many cases, goes beyond solving the problem. We create spaces that are even better.” Beyond the façade, Vance’s work addresses and studies more visceral elements, such as the psychological benefits of natural light and functionality, which may not be necessarily visible, but add unspoken conveniences to daily life. “Imagining the possibilities is vital to my work,” he says. “I am always looking at something and trying to imagine what else it could be, or get inspiration from it,” he says.

I love creating something beautiful and giving new life to old buildings. I believe buildings have souls—I love giving new energy to them. –Joseph Vance

People too often associate “modern” with “cold.” The kitchen in this town house is composed of modernist forms and lines; however, the materials and colors are warm.

To bring more light into the garden floor of this town house in a landmark district, Joseph Vance Architects excavated the yard to be level with the floor and installed floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors.

SUSAN ANTHONY INTERIORS Beyond intrinsic good taste, designer Susan Anthony uses education to help propel her firm, Susan Anthony Interiors, as well as enhance the lives of her clients through technological advancements. “We are living in a very exciting time,” enthuses Anthony, who went to Parsons School of Design. “Technology has affected all aspects of our lives and of course has changed how we think of interior spaces. Advances in lighting, lighting controls, communication devices and construction has changed how we think and how we live. I regularly take courses on new technology that can help my clients live healthier, smarter and more sustainable lives.” Based in the Tri-State Area, Susan Anthony Interiors’ dynamic portfolio spans the U.S., including a breadth of second homes for long-standing clients as well as offices, medical facilities, yachts and planes. Her creative process, regardless of the scope or locale of the project, begins with meeting the clients and seeing their space. “I love to get inside the bones of the space and inside the minds of my clients,” Anthony says. “I ask my clients to do a questionnaire. We do it together out loud, and it is fun. I want to know what makes them tick and what their dreams are for their home.” Comparing her work to a Broadway play, Anthony says she finds the best talent for their specialties (i.e., subcontractors) and pushes the envelope together until the very end. “We are usually a little sad to finish the show but supercharged by the applause for the gorgeous finished product!” she says.

AS K T HE EXPE RT What are your favorite styles to work on and why? It comes down to what is appropriate in the space and what the clients respond to. I like to add modern and vintage to most of what I do. It is like we are all on a bridge between the past and the future. What is inspiring you now? I am inspired by modern art and photography. The best interiors say something about who lives in them. Art adds the client’s personality and wit to a space. I have also incorporated nature: more trees and flowers please! What would be your dream creative project? I have always wanted to design a ranch in the West. I have done plenty of ski houses but never a working ranch. Also, as a cancer survivor, I would love to design a healing place for patients who are going through cancer treatment.

BROWN HARRIS STEVENS Trusted, educated, dedicated, experienced and “on the money” are just a few of the characteristics that distinguish Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker Andrea Ackerman of Brown Harris Stevens, Bridgehampton. The real estate aficionado with more than 30 years of experience provides local insight into the much-coveted Hamptons real estate market. “A true professional knows the market and can expedite the process of finding the right home for a specific customer. There is no point in wasting time and frustrating the buyers, showing inappropriate houses. A great realtor can achieve a better-negotiated price than anyone else, including the buyer negotiating for himself,” she says. With an eye for market trends, Ackerman observes a shift in residential design as well as demand. “Style wise, it seems that design is moving out of the copycat Shingle-style traditional, which has been popular for the past two decades, and back to a cleaner, more modern, aesthetic,” she explains. “As for the current market, there seems to be an unusually high amount of houses for sale, which usually indicates a turn from a seller’s market to a buyer’s market.” The longtime Hamptons enthusiast adds that living in a resort community, similar to that of the Gold Coast, is not a necessity, but rather, an extravagance. “Having a second or third home is a luxury. Some of the highest paid prices in the world are achieved here in the Hamptons,” she says.

TOP: On one of the most coveted lanes in Water Mill, moments from Mecox Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, this new high-end renovation has just been completed, offering 6,000 square feet of living space. BOTTOM: The Bridgehampton estate is sited on a full acre, with a waterside heated gunite pool, elegant gardens, multiple terraces and covered verandas capturing sunsets and water views.

THIS SEPTEMBER, THE CELEBRATED ANTIQUES FAIR OBSERVES ITS 28TH ITERATION, PROVING THAT WHILE WE EMBRACE THE MODERN WORLD, OUR FASCINATION WITH CLASSIC STYLE AND DESIGN, AS EXEMPLIFIED IN THE ELEGANT PIECES SHOWN HERE, CONTINUES TO STAND THE TEST OF TIME.
