The infinite potential of a blank canvas. The reinvention of your favorite room. The home you hope to create. WE BELIEVE THE MOST PLEASING ENVIRONMENTS ARE A REFLECTION OF HUMAN DESIGN. THEY ARE A STUDY OF BALANCE, SYMMETRY AND PERFECT PROPORTIONS. WE RESPECT THE HIERARCHY AND IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE, FURNITURE AND DÉCOR THAT CREATE HARMONY. IT’S A DISCIPLINE OF ADDITION THROUGH SUBTRACTION, WHERE LESS BECOMES MORE, AND CALM IS CREATED THROUGH CONTINUITY. THE RESULT IS A HOLISTIC DESIGN THAT IS STRONG YET SIMPLE. WE SUBSCRIBE TO LEONARDO DA VINCI’S PHILOSOPHY THAT “SIMPLICITY IS THE ULTIMATE SOPHISTICATION.” OUR DESIGNERS PLACE YOU AT THE CENTER OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS, WORKING TO REALIZE THE POTENTIAL OF YOUR HOME, AND TO BRING YOUR VISION TO LIFE.

All you have to do is imagine. FOR AN APPOINTMENT, VISIT THE RH DESIGN ATELIER AT YOUR LOCAL GALLERY OR CONTACT US AT RH.COM/INTERIORDESIGN.

EDITOR’S LETTER

STYLE MATTERS

LX_COM10_EditorLetter.indd 84

I recently came upon this headline while scrolling online: FIVE EASY STEPS TO DEFINE YOUR HOME’S STYLE! Curiosity got the better of me, so I clicked and was served up five “looks” from which to discover my sense of self. A one-click approach to finding your style seems so, well, unimaginative. I’ve always subscribed to the belief that sartorial matters are personal and best left to marinate slowly over years, decades, a lifetime. This issue, like each one we publish, is populated with all manner of looks, attitudes and ideas (edited through our prism) and designed to spark creativity and expose you to a fresh inkling or new take on a deep-rooted idea. Here, we explore the age-old art form of portraiture, shine a spotlight on lighting that

ranges from Bauhaus-inspired to overtly maximalist, and report on tips and advice for entertaining at home. That’s our approach: to present viewpoints, designs and concepts with the hope that there’s an element or two for you to integrate and put your own spin on. Like people, the most interesting homes are layered, eclectic and unhurriedly evolved—never a quick click. From my house to yours, I wish you a season filled with beauty and enjoyed with those that you love.

memo SHARON SUMMER PUBLISHER

Can I really be writing the last publisher’s letter of the year? The weeks are always so chockfull of events that the months seem to fly by. Though we’re still immersed in end-of-year holiday celebrations, it’s great to look back and appreciate what an amazing time it’s been for Luxe Interiors + Design New York. Our biggest achievement this year was our successful transition to a bimonthly publication, offering readers more editorial and marketers more opportunities to reach their target audience. Throughout our growth, the design community has been an integral part of our brand. This year, in addition to our myriad showroom gatherings and LuxeConnects, we participated in activities all around the New York metro market. For our Gold List celebration, some of the most respected design professionals from across the country came together. ICFF exceeded everyone’s expectations and reaffirmed the draw of the Luxe brand, and our partnership with The Decorator’s Club helped support the next generation of designers. We also recognized the cultural diversity of Brooklyn design, collaborated with ASID NY Metro Chapter, partied in Sagaponack and contributed to What’s New, What’s Next. Enjoy the holiday season and our last issue of the year!

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

BRADLEY NESBITT WEATHERLY If I could interview anyone, I would… Want to talk to Kate Middleton, off the record. Any time you have the opportunity to speak to someone whose life is in front of the lens, it’s always nice to have moments that are stripped away to meet the real person, know what makes them laugh, get insight into their quirks and see who they are outside of the public sphere. Favorite Luxe interview: I enjoyed the conversation I had with landscape architect Mario Nievera of Nievera Williams. It was so interesting to see how he thinks of grass as rugs and boxwoods as wallpaper. His entire approach to outdoor landscape is so relatable to interiors. What type of architecture inspires you the most? I’m a Southern girl, so I love both Greek Revival and Georgian styles. I can almost smell the magnolia when I see a Greek Revival house; it immediately takes me home. Words of wisdom: Never let fear determine your steps.

JESSICA KLEWICKI GLYNN Photographer / Palm Beach

What’s intriguing you now in the world of design? I like that traditional methods of crafting furniture are making a comeback with many bespoke designers. I also enjoy when people repurpose antique hardware, including hinges, doorknobs and pulls. Top three things on your design wish list: I would love a marble-topped Saarinen dining table for my new breakfast room, some beautiful wall sconces for my bedroom (particularly Aerin’s black Charlton wall lights), and a redo of my pool area—something sleek yet traditional such as a bluestone pool deck. Who is the most fascinating person you’ve ever met? Growing up, all of my summers were spent at our family vacation home in Montauk. One day, while working the ticket booth at a movie theater in East Hampton, I was reading Kurt Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions. A gentleman walked up and said, “So how do you like that book?” I told him I loved it, and he said, “Do you want me to sign it?” I looked up and it was Kurt Vonnegut. I still have the signed copy on my bookshelf.

LX_COM10_Contributors.indd 110

NICK JOHNSON Photographer / New York What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received? On my first day as a photo assistant, I worked on a shoot of Martha Stewart with the legendary architectural photographer Scott Frances. Afterward, I was telling Scott what a great day it was and he said, “As far as your career goes, you are what you shoot.” I try to remember this to make sure I get the best shots possible. Whose work are you influenced by design-wise? Mat Sanders and Brandon Quattrone of Consort Design and Estee Stanley. Their work is casual, comfortable and cool. I try to take what I can from them and incorporate it into my own house. Memorable Luxe assignment: While my assistant and I were shooting a Colorado house with amazing views, we heard a loud rustling behind us and saw a bear standing in the woods. We left so fast that we forgot the camera and had to get reinforcements to go back and get our equipment. The bear didn’t indulge us for any selfies, though.

PATRICK SORAN Writer / Denver Prized possessions: Since my husband and two dogs aren’t possessions, I would have to say my neoclassical console table built in Italy around 1850 (that I love more than I ought to), a pair of wood carvings of Egyptian gods Isis and Osiris that I bought in a shop on the banks of the Nile, and the little plaque I got in ninth grade for Best Creative Writing. What books have impacted you the most? First, William Zinsser’s On Writing Well. The author recommends that a writer get to the point, tell the story and then run to the nearest door. Right now, though, I’m obsessed with the symbolism of diamonds and radio signals in Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See. If not a writer, what you would be? A flâneur is a person who does nothing much but walk around hither and yon and enjoy what he sees. I’d flâneur in Paris, Manhattan and San Francisco, thank you very much. Then I’d have lunch.

ABOUT

FACE THE BEST PLACE FOR A PORTRAIT ISN’T HANGING IN A MUSEUM GALLERY—IT’S ON THE WALL IN YOUR HOME. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

From the Mona Lisa and Girl with a Pearl Earring to American Gothic, the collective fascination with portrait art goes back far beyond even the most famous examples of the genre: back to prehistoric times, in fact, where crude renderings of faces in profile have been discovered by archaeologists in cave dwellings and in the tombs of Egyptian and Chinese royalty. Few mediums have had such staying power. So, what’s with the fascination with faces? It’s simple: Much like the best writing, portraits are a way to explore our humanity—something that highlights all the ways in which we are different and all the ways in which we are the same. So, it’s no surprise that the introspective art form has been increasingly making its way into our homes, with portraits often acting as the stars of busy gallery walls and standalone displays alike. Here, Luxe rounds up some of our favorite local and international artists that are keeping the ages-old tradition alive and fresh with new interpretations and thrilling techniques.

GABRIEL SCHAMA

FAMILY PORTRAITS Who: From his studio in Oakland, California, artist Gabriel Schama’s powerful profiles and portraits are a cut above—literally. All of his pieces are either carefully excised by hand with an X-Acto knife or expertly produced with the help of his in-house assistant, a laser cutter he’s named Elsie. What: Schama’s work runs the gamut, from reimagined images from newspaper articles and album covers where he’s replaced the faces with boldly hued paper-cut explosions to classic profiles executed in wood with inner workings comprised of Elsie’s precisely stacked layers (as shown in the section opener). Why we love him: There’s something meditative about Schama’s work, like a complex wood weaving or a dizzying mandala brought to life. It’s hard to look away. gabrielschama.com

KEHINDE WILEY

SHANTAVIA BEALE II, 2012 Who: No one breaks down boundaries and flips the narrative quite like Brooklyn-based artist Kehinde Wiley, whose classically inspired oil paintings are made modern thanks to their subjects. What: Highly stylized and realistically rendered portraits in rich palettes depicting black and brown men and women from all over the world in poses influenced by the works of the old masters. Why we love him: There’s so much ground the historical portrait-painting tradition has yet to cover, and Wiley’s work is helping to narrow the distance between the genre’s myopic view of the past and the incredible diversity of our everyday reality— while simultaneously celebrating it. kehindewiley.com; skny.com

CAYCE ZAVAGLIA

GARRETT, 2011 Who: Artist Cayce Zavaglia had spent her career working on photo-realistic oil portraits, but when she became pregnant 15 years ago and had to forgo using the toxic chemicals required of the practice, she switched gears: relying on nontraditional embroidery techniques to capture her subjects. What: Large-scale embroidered portraits that may as well have been plucked from the studios of the old masters. One of these complex pieces can take Zavaglia anywhere from six weeks to six months to produce. Why we love her: Zavaglia is able to capture the depth and personality of her subjects—all friends and members of her family—in their direct and unwavering glances; plus, the softness of the embroidery thread and wool she uses brings added warmth to each beautiful visage. caycezavaglia.com

OUKALY Who: Spanish painter Oriol Angrill Jordà has taken two of art’s most celebrated and oft-studied subjects— landscapes and the human form—and merged them together in his signature watercolor series, titled Blendscapes. The result? Portraits that break all the rules in the best way possible. What: Jordà’s work feels like a dream within a dream, with everything from steep mountain ranges to serene lakeside scenes depicted across the side of a face or a cheek, like a window into what his subjects are thinking. Why we love him: Because Jordà brings one of our favorite platitudes to life in his portraits: People contain multitudes. It’s a beautiful sentiment depicted in works that are both realistic and deeply imaginative. oriolangrill.com

RADAR / CULTURE

Walking in the shoes of some of the characters powering through traumatic, complicated lives in our favorite television shows may sound less than ideal—we’re looking at you, The Affair’s tragedystricken protagonists Noah and Alison—but living in their homes? That’s another story. One look at the aforementioned Noah’s effortlessly cool Brooklyn brownstone or Alison’s cozy beachfront retreat in Montauk can make even (spoiler alert) taking the blame for vehicular homicide seem a little more palatable. Catching a glimpse into the well-appointed Red Keep in Game of Thrones, too, can make it hard not to root for Cersei Lannister; surely, if she were so evil, she wouldn’t have such great decorating taste? As on-demand television becomes more of a staple of home entertainment, the remote’s role has gone far beyond pausing, playing and fastforwarding—it’s turning the small screen into a veritable Pinterest board full of décor ideas for everything from living and dining rooms to artist studios and, well, even the White House.

LX_COM10_Radar_Culture.indd 112

WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

It all comes as no shock to Steve Arnold, the production designer behind the uncannily realistic presidential-inspired sets on the award-winning House of Cards. “You would be completely amazed to know about all the emails we get from everywhere on the planet—from Australia, Europe, the United States,” he says. “They want to know where we sourced the chaise lounge in such and such episode, the fabric on the sofa in another episode. They’ll ask about the smallest little details.” So, is it just that people are spending more time in their homes and in front of the television, or has the entertainment industry itself become more keen to its audience’s design-leaning proclivities? It’s hard to tell. But for people like Arnold and set decorator Beauchamp Fontaine— who’s responsible for the easy, breezy coastal interiors on the set of Grace and Frankie, as well as blockbuster hits like The Revenant and Now You See Me—they’re still designing with clients in mind; they just happen to be fictional and on a crazy-tight deadline (sets are often

conceptualized and completed in as little as 6-10 weeks). This real-person approach is what gives the sets their soul and lived-in layers, and likely, what makes the spaces resonate with viewers. Lily Tomlin’s artist studio in Grace and Frankie, for example, was a real labor of love for Fontaine. “For Lily’s character, Frankie, the studio is the one place that is really and truly hers,” she says. “It became her refuge. So, it was important to me that we get it right.” To make it look real, then, Fontaine tapped a local ceramicist to come in before filming and work on the potter’s wheel— saving his half-thrown pots, slip and slurry, adding to the dialogue without saying a word. “What we’re doing is a different kind of storytelling,” Fontaine says. “Interiors can tell as much of a story as the plot sometimes. It’s been incredible to see viewers really catching on to that.” Above: A still of Lily Tomlin’s art studio from the set of Grace and Frankie, designed by Beauchamp Fontaine for the show’s premiere season on Netflix.

RADAR / ITINERARY

WRITTEN BY JESSE BRATTER

It’s almost time for the art world to descend upon Miami once again for the much-anticipated Art Basel Miami Beach fair—for artists and collectors everywhere to come in droves to South Florida for several jam-packed days of VIP previews, international brand appearances and auxiliary shows throughout the city’s metropolitan areas and artistic enclaves. Offering an oasis of design,

art and community in the midst of all the organized chaos will be Jessica Acosta-Rubio, whose creative agency Design Pub collaborates with designers and like-minded brands on both a local and global level to curate exhibitions and pop-ups. This year, she’ll join forces with Lululemon to host H[OM BASE]L at a residence on the Venetian Islands; the project will explore the seven chakras

through various activation stations with the help of tabletop brand Comunione, jewelry designer Joanne Stone, and other creatives. And while we’re sure to see Acosta-Rubio behind more events happening between December 1 and 4, she let us in on some of her other must-see spots for those who love art and design just as much as she does. atdesignpub.com

EAT “Egot,” an exhibit of furniture by Nun and Office GA, was previously presented by Design Pub and Giovanni Beltran. Damien Hirst's Gone but not Forgotten (above) is on view at Faena Hotel Miami Beach.

Soul Food: I’m a huge fan of Rene Gonzalez’s architectural work, and I love the indoor-outdoor Plant Food + Wine restaurant inside The Sacred Space Miami, a mixed-use facility he designed that focuses on wellness, education and community. From the restaurant to the outdoor area, this open yet private floor plan is so unique to Miami. It’s the perfect place to eat and drink while in a meeting or just occasionally with friends. The food and plating is absolutely gorgeous. thesacredspacemiami.com Feel Good: Paradigm Kitchen is a health-conscious restaurant concept in Miami Beach from the team at Jugofresh. I can’t take all the credit, but I loved helping them with some of their furniture selections from our favorite brand in Los Angeles, Bend Goods.

NOTABLE SOUTH FLORIDA-BASED CURATOR JESSICA ACOSTA-RUBIO DISHES ON CAN’T-MISS DESTINATIONS TO SHOP, DINE AND APPRECIATE DESIGN DURING ART BASEL MIAMI BEACH—AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHERE TO RELAX AND RECHARGE.

9/27/16 6:03 PM

RADAR / ITINERARY Design Pub curates pop-up exhibitions like “#101ManMade” (shown here and center), a show that coincided with a previous Art Basel Miami Beach. At bottom is a look at the Plant Food + Wine restaurant at The Sacred Space Miami.

SHOP Plain and Simple: Good design should be accessible to everyone. And no one practices that philosophy more than the cotton T-shirt brand Neushop Miami, whose two main characteristics are function and quality. The simple yet meaningful ethos of Neushop is represented by the barebones quality of the historic downtown building in which it’s housed, and in the shop’s monthly design forums and events that are open to the public. neushop.com En Vogue: The Webster in South Beach is definitely my preferred place to shop. I love that they’ve preserved the look and feel of the Art Deco building, because the best part of the shopping experience is the contrast between the historic design and the new fashion trends they have inside. And the accessories selection there is on point: I’m a huge fan of Annelise Michelson jewelry; I adore the world of Olympia Le-Tan; and because we live in Miami, I always need to splurge on new sunglasses by Mykita. thewebster.us

EXPLORE Double Trouble: My favorite design duo in town is Jessica Martin and Deon Rubi, collectively known as Nun, who work out of Little Haiti. They’ve been part of our Design Pub exhibits for the past two years, with a focus on furniture design and objects, including collaborations with Jonathan Gonzalez of Office GA. They were also a part of the incredible show, Giovanni Beltran’s “Primitive Hut,” at Noguchi Breton in Miami earlier this year. deonrubi.com

Meet Market: I’m very excited about the Mexican designers who will be exhibiting in Miami during Comisaria Latina de Diseño, a design showcase of art, fashion and interiors by Latin American artisans in a bazaar-like setting. Check it out at the Royal Palm South Beach Miami hotel from December 1-4.

STAY Checking In: Faena Hotel Miami Beach is my new go-to spot to have fun among art and architecture. The design is just breathtaking, and the Faena Theater is like a dream. It’s so magical and whimsical that they call it a fantasyland, and they have a performance every weekend called C’est Rouge! that shouldn’t be missed. Every time I find myself at Faena, I always feel as if I’m inside of a movie. It’s like Wes Anderson meets Moulin Rouge. faena.com

Moore is More: The Moore Building houses a site-specific installation by Zaha Hadid that is definitely worth seeing. We’ll have a show there during the next big art and design invasion—Maison & Objet Americas in May—with lots of limited-edition works mainly by young talents from Miami and Latin America. bridgehouseevents.com

EXHIBIT PHOTOS: ERIKA BLANCO. PLANT FOOD

View Finder: I love walking around the Miami Design District and discovering new places. Alchemist has been one of my favorite finds. The fashion boutique has three locations, with this one focusing on fine jewelry. It’s again designed by Rene Gonzalez and has an unforgettable rose gold-mirrored façade, is surrounded by palm trees and lies diagonally to the Buckminster Fuller Fly’s Eye Dome sculpture. The whole area has changed tremendously—mounting exhibitions inside temporary spaces here over the last six years, I’ve seen it all. The Design District is the most ambitious project in Miami in terms of community building and outstanding design. I can’t wait for the opening of the new Institute of Contemporary Art, all of our summer rooftop parties and more restaurants to come. miamidesigndistrict.net

RADAR / BEHIND THE BRAND

FINE PRINT THE CREATIVE WUNDERKIND BEHIND NEW YORK’S WALLCOVERING UPSTART, VOUTSA, GEORGE VENSON USHERS IN A WHOLE NEW GENERATION OF DESIGN LOVERS WHO BELIEVE PATTERN MAKES PERFECT. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA / PORTRAIT BY CHRIS GLOAG

“No one can pronounce it,” says George Venson, with a laugh, in reference to the name of his devil-may-care design house, Voutsa—an abridged version of his father’s family’s pre-Ellis Island Greek surname. And while that might be mostly true (for the record, it’s | voot | - sä), it’s had no bearing whatsoever on the company’s rapid ascent. Venson’s bold, at times risqué, wallpapers almost instantly found their niche after Voutsa’s launch in 2013, and his devotees have hardly let phonetics get in the way of translating the brand’s whimsical prints into statementmaking backdrops for daring interiors. Voutsa’s painterly collections feature wild and fantastical illustrations—from giant watercolor lips and coral-grazing goldfish to elegant birds-of-paradise and Russian dancers in mid-waltz. They’re all fun and eye-catching, but if Voutsa’s nearly meteoric rise can be attributed to any one thing, it’s to Venson’s own sheer force of will: his aversion to trends and his selfprofessed interest in charting his own course. “I have no desire to make the typical, expected things,” he says. “I want everything I do to have a bit of a twist, something no one sees coming.” It seems obvious, then, that a year after his first wallpaper collection premiered to great success, the artist-turned-product designer was on to the next thing: a capsule fashion line—in collaboration with Paul Marlow, the couture mastermind behind the retired menswear collective Loden Dager—rendered from Voutsa’s most popular patterns, which he’s currently traveling to promote in a series of international pop-up shops, like his latest in London, at right. “When I first started working with Paul, I told him I wanted to create clothing that represented my ideal look—from head to toe,” Venson explains. “We did tunics and shirts and bandannas, focusing on well-made pieces with classic cuts that could fit different body types.” For Venson, though, it’s not just about outfitting a body or a room; it’s about capturing a lifestyle—regardless of if that life is being carried out in a New York City apartment or in the Oval Office (a name he drops when asked for his dream commission). “I have a wonderfully diverse base of people interested in the work I do at Voutsa,” he says. “Whether it’s one of my wallpapers getting selected for a high-end project by a big decorator or a printed scarf going home with someone in Wyoming, I love that each person can take away a piece of this fantasy world I’ve created.”

TALKING SHOP WITH OLIVER GUSTAV

BLUEPRINT MONROE

New Jersey’s buzzy Asbury Park is adding yet another reason to visit the area thanks to real estate investment firm iStar’s latest project: Monroe. The luxury residential building, containing 34 units, is expected to be finished by the end of the year and will be nestled two blocks from the beachfront and minutes from The Asbury. “We are continuing the elevated design sensibility the hotel brought to the area,” says Monroe’s architect, Chad Oppenheim. An area native, Oppenheim is known for environmentally sustainable projects that are at once contextually sensitive and structurally noteworthy. For Monroe, he sourced local materials, such as wood from the famed boardwalk and stonework from surrounding edifices. “We are paying homage to the town’s architectural history while at the same time creating a new dynamic,” he says. Along with expansive outdoor terraces, each unit will feature Corian countertops, Hansgrohe fixtures and contemporary Molteni&C cabinets. Another perk for the lucky residents: priority access to the The Asbury’s enviable list of amenities (think: swimming pool, rooftop bar and movie screenings). Where do we sign? monroeasburypark.com

When did you open? I opened my first atelier in 2007 in an old stable building in Copenhagen and founded Studio Oliver Gustav nearby in 2011, complete with an interior design division. In September, I launched my first location in New York, where I focus primarily on retail. Tell us about the space. When you enter one of my studios, you will notice the monochromatic palettes. I always try to unify the colors of the walls and ceilings in my decorative projects, and I always engage the physical surroundings to make sure there is harmony with light and climatic parameters. Describe its vibe. I want customers to feel at home in the showroom; I wanted to create a space that conveys energy and inspiration. On the floor? I’m a collector by nature and, thus, have always had an eye for curiosities and objects that provide something extraordinary, like the works of Vincenzo De Cotiis, Faye Toogood and Kevin Josias. For my own design style… I prefer relaxed, subtle design and underplayed luxury that make people feel at ease. olivergustav.com

WHO: Forage + Sundry is a locally owned—and locally loved—home and garden shop and plant-design studio in Troy, New York. Founder Tess Palma-Martinez captures the photogenic space, as well as her various (and enviable) on-the-job outings, via the brand’s sunny Instagram feed. WHAT: Expect a glimpse into Palma-Martinez’s minimally designed boutique, featuring close-ups of well-appointed display tables and shelves along with meticulously arranged flat lays of recent garden finds. Also, keep an eye out for word of the brand’s frequent creative workshops. WHY: If you’re a sucker for succulents, this feed is a must-follow. Palma-Martinez’s airy and often informative shots are enough to inspire even the blackest of thumbs. IN HER WORDS: “There is a rhythm to my gallery, and each image is part of that rotating cohesion. I look for organic continuity, color and texture. And I really like empty space; it gives the eye somewhere to rest among the beauty.” 130 / LUXESOURCE.COM

COLLABORATION

OPEN HOUSE

Some of the most successful creative collaborations are achieved as a result of unlikely partnerships. This is certainly the case with furniture and lighting brand Gabriel Scott’s newest line with tattoo artist Maxime Buchi. Consisting of two identical modular light fixtures offered in different scales, the collection draws inspiration from the tetrahedron, a base element for all platonic solids— and a shape featured prominently in Buchi’s work. “Maxime’s tattoo work really explores many of the same sensitivities to geometry and space that some of our work is built around,” says Gabriel Kakon, co-owner of Gabriel Scott, referencing some of the brand’s most successful series, like Welles and Harlow. The light can be fashioned into any arrangement, from a straightforward, single pendant to a serious statement-making chandelier and everything in between. Of the final product, Gabriel Scott cofounder Scott Richler explains, “The goal was to essentially create a mixture of the two brands’ work without producing a literal translation.” gabriel-scott.com

SHOPS + SHOWROOMS

Design lovers, rejoice: A throng of new home stores has sprouted up in downtown Manhattan, just in time for the holidays. After the first New York location opened last year, British design studio Tom Dixon (19 Howard St.), above, is expanding its SoHo presence with a second larger showroom, showcasing futuristic lamps and avant-garde furniture and accessories. Likewise, innovative home-audio brand Sonos (101 Greene St.) recently opened an experiential, and expectedly high-tech, flagship just a few blocks away. L’Objet (370 Bleecker St.) picked the West Village as its home base for the brand’s Manhattan brick-andmortar, while Hudson Valley-based lifestyle shop Hawkins New York (17 8th Ave.) opened in the same neighborhood this summer. And farther uptown, Bernhardt (136 Madison Ave.) closed its Midtown showroom in favor of 20,000 square feet—or the entire third floor of its new building.

THE INSIDER KERRI ROSENTHAL

Fall was a busy season for Kerri Rosenthal. Not only did the interior designer and artist open her brand’s concept shop in Westport, Connecticut, but also her debut home décor collection, XOKR, hit shelves at the same time. “This was a natural extension for my brand, as I always felt there was a bigger story to tell with my art,” Rosenthal says of the latest introduction, which includes pillows, place mats, poufs and furniture silhouettes wrapped in her newest fabrics. The artistic entrepreneur says her ever-changing art will also guide her brick-and-mortar, which will serve as a creative design lab, an art studio and a gallery. “We hope it’s a spot where people will come to be inspired, shop a little and have a cup of coffee with us,” Rosenthal says. We sat down with the busy creative to get her take on what’s new and now in Westport. kerrirosenthalart.com

What’s intriguing you in design at the moment? Westport is becoming a bit of a design mecca thanks to the arrival of Serena & Lily and other local favorites like Dovecote, Bungalow, Terrain and more. It’s incredibly exciting, and it’s one of the many reasons why the timing felt right to open my gallery and concept shop. Favorite neighborhood? Downtown Westport is my main drag and for good reason. It is a park-in-one-spot town; you can leave your car and literally spend an entire day experiencing a great mix of stores, both big and small. Ones to watch: I am a huge admirer of the supremely talented Karen Bow and Melissa Lindsay. To me, both of these woman are such major visionaries in the world of interiors.

DATE BOOK SHAUNA MEI

New York-based online luxury marketplace Aha recently opened a brick-andmortar location in Brooklyn’s fashion-forward DUMBO neighborhood. The seven-year-old company, founded by husband-and-wife duo Shauna Mei and Sachin Devand, is known for its expertly curated selection of high-end lifestyle and fashion brands and for the bevvy of independent artisans and designers it represents across the globe. For Mei, the new venture, dubbed Aha Front, is more than a store. In her words, “It is an experimental playground that serves as a living, shoppable showcase featuring a highly curated mix of rare fashion, design and lifestyle pieces found in their ‘natural habitat.’¬” The 2,000-squarefoot space is stocked with more than 100 rotating brands, arranged in a homey environment. Here, Mei gives us the scoop on the new location and some of her favorite design-minded spots in the area. ahalife.com

10 a.m. Head to Almondine Bakery for the best croissants in the city. It’s about a five-minute walk from the Aha store. My go-to is the almond croissant. 10:30 a.m. Walk around Brooklyn Bridge Park. Bring your yoga mat and enjoy the tranquility of the area, or simply take in Manhattan’s breathtaking skyline view. Be sure to catch the public art installations in the park, specifically the OY/YO sculpture by Deborah Kass. It has become iconic to the DUMBO area due to its size and unique shape.

12 p.m. Have lunch at Grimaldi’s Coal BrickOven Pizzeria for, what I very firmly believe is, the country’s best pizza. It’s worth the wait! 2 p.m. Visit the Brooklyn Flea (also open on Sundays) and pick up some vintage gems and popular succulents. Be sure to hit BLK MKT Vintage, Decor Atelier and Flux Productions. 3 p.m. Stop by The Lighthouse beer and wine concession stand inside the archway under the Manhattan Bridge for a local brew. 4 p.m. Peruse DUMBO’s popular galleries. My favorites include Mighty Tanaka, Spring Design & Art, A.I.R. Gallery and Smack Mellon—each shines a light on unknown artists, both local and international.

Modern Anthology for its unique selection of vintage furniture, home decor and personal accessories with a masculine twist; and BoConcept’s high-end contemporary pieces with a Danish feel.

5 p.m. Get some shopping in. My must-visits are The PowerHouse Arena—a super stylish bookstore with a smartly curated general-interest collection;

7 p.m. Make a reservation at Superfine for dinner. Enjoy a burger while a live jazz band plays. The music goes on late into the night!

DATE BOOK PHOTOS: PORTRAIT, COURTESY AHA; SHOP IMAGES, RAMON PEBENITO.

9 a.m. Arrive at Aha Front at 147 Front St. and browse our curated selection. Note the candles from Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Apothia; fragrances from Blackbird and Etat Libre d’Orange; jewelry from Antoanetta, Charlotte Cauwe Studio and Dorka S. Jewelry; bags and totes from Bernice Angelique; and a botanical cocktail set from The Spice Lab.

PRODUCED BY KATE BERGERON / WRITTEN BY MIMI FAUCETT PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAVID PRINCE / STYLING BY ALEX BRANNIAN

KATIE KIME

ARTIST & DESIGNER KATIEKIME.COM

It’s rare that… The words “whimsical” and “architectural” can go together, but somehow, Rosie Li pulls it off. I’m a pretty big risk-taker in general. I tend to think that there are less “rules” in decorating than most others do. When I look at Bubbly I smile, because they really went for it, and to that I can relate. On trend: The piece is gold, layered and extravagant yet with a playful curvature. All of these elements are on trend, but especially the idea of pairing opposites: extravagance with function, playfulness with formality. When it comes to luxury design… It’s all in the details, but sometimes the details can often be painstaking and much easier to just forego. When a designer like Li has spent time on the finishing touches, you can easily spot the difference. The fixture against this backdrop… Is a marriage of two ideas: respect for the past and boldness for the future. It’s a delicate balance to strike, and here it’s done very well.

THE PIECE: Bubbly 08-Light Linear Chandelier THE DESIGNER: Rosie Li FIND IT: rosieli.com THE INSPIRATION: Inspired by soap bubbles and Newton’s law of universal gravitation, Brooklyn-based Rosie Li married maximalism with geometric elegance to create a stellar brass lighting system—a sculptural take on the traditional linear chandelier.

ABOVE THE FOLD THE PIECE: Origami Table Lamp THE DESIGNER: François Champsaur for Pouenat FIND IT: hollyhunt.com THE INSPIRATION: Calling on the ancient art of origami, François Champsaur’s angular brass table lamp explores the infinite possibilities offered by metal, with the sharp, decorative lines of the material clearly on display.

DAVID MONTALBA

ARCHITECT MONTALBAARCHITECTS.COM

François Champsaur’s work shows… A strong, consistent support of extremely high-quality design and unique craftsmanship. The folded metal planes and the focus of the light on the material’s surface feel very architectural and intentional. It reminds me of both contemporary sculpture and some of our own work: It’s rooted in the past with its cast fabrication, but its form suggests a contemporary relationship and progress. On trend: This particular finish feels timeless, possibly vintage or repurposed. Lately, there has been a push toward recycled, conscious fashion, so in that respect, this piece feels in line with the current zeitgeist of design. When it comes to luxury design… A bespoke piece, be it for clothing or interiors, always feels like more of a privilege than whatever massproduced product it’s up against. Playing a role in crafting what you wear, or how you live, is the ultimate in luxury. In composition: The sculptural qualities of the lamp are very elegant, giving it a sense of formality. The polished continuity of the fixture against the rough brick background really highlights its simplicity and clean lines. A strong contrast is visually engaging; this opposition inspires dialogue.

LX_COM10_Spotlight.indd 160

CHRISTINA BRYANT TEXTILE MAVEN STFRANK.COM

Pelle’s use of form and material is… Enchanting. Their compositions come across as both deconstructed and refined—I love that apposition. I’m all about taking risks. This is an exceptionally whimsical sconce, and it has much more of an organic shape than I’m used to seeing from Pelle. In that way, I think it’s a risk well-taken. My line of work demonstrates… My love for—and belief in—the beauty of juxtaposing texture and shape. That same quality draws me to the Lure sconce. On trend: Lure’s mix of hard and soft, the sleek metallic with the organic cast flower, is a combination we’re seeing in fashion right now. That, along with the costume-like romance and femininity of the petals, makes this piece very much in style. The rustic, industrial backdrop… Contrasted against these delicate sconces accentuates their sensuality as well as their clean-lined hardware. The way the light is cast toward the flowers creates shadowy silhouettes that echo their shapes, which is really captivating.

LX_COM10_Spotlight.indd 161

STEEL MAGNOLIAS THE PIECE: Lure Sconce THE DESIGNER: Pelle FIND IT: pelledesigns.com THE INSPIRATION: Enlisted for its structural strength yet technical delicacy, the magnolia served as the muse for Pelle’s Lure sconce. A suspended LED light, held by a slender brass arc, illuminates the fixture’s hand-sculpted cast-paper petals.

IN PLAIN SIGHT THE PIECE: Lumenariums in High and Low THE DESIGNER: John Pomp FIND IT: johnpomp.com THE INSPIRATION: Stirred by the idea of creating an environment for light to live, John Pomp captured the beauty of an illuminated cityscape contained within a pair of milky glass-crystal cloches.

LX_COM10_Spotlight.indd 162

RYAN KORBAN

INTERIOR DESIGNER RYANKORBAN.COM

I like the artisanal feel of John Pomp’s work. He is a true craftsman, which is something I am attracted to as a designer. On trend: In a world where design is often over-saturated and everything tends to look the same, I think Pomp’s Lumenariums feel original. I’m constantly searching for pieces that are authentic, and this hits that note. Silhouette is… Often the most important aspect of lighting, and the sophistication of this particular piece is really in its silhouette. When it comes to luxury design… People love great pieces but don’t want their environment to feel too decorated. People are eager for statement items, but are not looking for a polished, matching ensemble. Rather, they want to mix and match; it’s a fresher perspective. In composition: I love the juxtaposition of the lights and the backdrop. It is that perfect combination of something custom and refined with something super undone that sparks emotion. I am always inspired by the intersection of product and environment. Opposites attract. And that could not be truer than in design. This kind of contrast makes people feel—not just see. It evokes emotion that cannot be replicated.

9/28/16 5:56 PM

GEO LOGIC THE PIECE: The Wrongski THE DESIGNER: Jean-Pascal Gauthier FIND IT: jeanpascalgauthier.com THE INSPIRATION: Here, a geometric mélange of acrylic, brass, mirror and glass keeps with the suspended and balanced mobile style of Jean-Pascal Gauthier’s portfolio, which is steadily influenced by the Bauhaus movement.

STEPHANIE VON WATZDORF CREATIVE DIRECTOR FIGUE.COM

Jean-Pascal Gauthier’s work reminds me of… The Russian Constructivism movement that started in 1913 by Vladimir Tatlin, along with sculptor Alexander Calder’s work—which I love. It resembles a mobile: I like the harmony of the shapes and the mix of the triangle with the big and small bulbs. I always look to interior design… For inspiration in my own work; both worlds complement each other. I look at proportions, colors, textures, fabrics and overall elegance. In terms of luxury design: For me, quality equates to luxury. Statement piece: Any piece that is unexpected and has an interesting balance and shape to it, like the Wrongski pendant, is a “statement piece” to me. The raw iron and textured background… Juxtaposed with the clean finished lines of this hanging sculptural light fixture is especially striking. I am always looking for the unexpected: Risk can create incredible beauty and harmony. Here, the fixture is set in a surrounding that is totally contrary to what one would assume. The vintage, rusty, antiqued background with the angular, clean metal and modern shape of the lighting fixture is an unexpected contrast.

ROCK STEADY THE PIECE: Sender One Side Lamp THE DESIGNER: Christina Zamora FIND IT: brave-matter.com THE INSPIRATION: Christina Zamora's decision to employ waxed brass to pierce a piece of variegated salt crystal creates a statement-making lamp that ditches convention for something altogether more refreshing.

GEORGE AUGUSTO CREATIVE DIRECTOR STAUD.CLOTHING

Brave Matter’s pieces are… Overtly midcentury and, at times, lean toward 1960s Pop art. In this particular piece… I like that the beauty comes from only two elements: the brass stem and a salt crystal light fixture. Making such a simple piece is deceptively difficult. The mix of materials is… A perfect balance between feminine and masculine. Luxury design used to be… Primarily based on price, but I think that’s changed. Today, it’s about being special and the combination of high and low: the ability to fuse a wide range of elements and include a piece with some emotion or nostalgia. On trend: The midcentury revival exploded in the late ’90s and hasn’t let up since. This fixture fits right in with that aesthetic. In composition: The juxtaposition of the raw environment makes you further appreciate the total refinement of the light fixture. Such a contrast allows you to see certain aspects of each aesthetic with a clarity that would otherwise not be possible.

THE MUST-SEE EVENT IN HOME FURNISHINGS Celebrating 107 years, High Point Market is the world’s largest and most important home furnishings trade show. Each spring and fall, more than 75,000 home furnishings professionals come to High Point to experience the products, trends and innovations—and meet the people—that are moving home fashion forward. We spoke with three leading interior designers to hear what they were looking forward to seeing at the Spring 2017 High Point Market and capture just some of the energy and excitement that make Market Week the fashion week of home furnishings.

Corey Damen Jenkins Corey Damen Jenkins & Associates, LLC “I’m excited to see some of the specific 2017 spring colors that were identified by the trend forecasters at Fashion Snoops—particularly the combination of Pantone 19-3921, Pantone 17-4911 and Pantone 15-309. Our firm is coincidentally building a home for one of our clients with these exact colors as the main palette of the first floor. Together they create a very fresh and vibrant color story, but it’s also sexy and sophisticated as well. I’m looking forward to pushing traditional boundaries with these hues. I also really appreciated what Jamie Drake had to say about how fashion and interior design are essentially in a symbiotic relationship. His statement, ‘Most of the rules can be broken if done with sophistication and style,’ should be printed on t-shirts and given out to clients.”

Kerrie Kelly Kerrie Kelly Design Lab “We are so inspired by the Old Havana and Cove trends that Fashion Snoops has forecast for the coming year. With our renewed access to the old-world elegance and excitement of Cuba and our constant desire to be near the coastline, these two color trends are paving the way for a much-anticipated shift in the design world. The Cove color trend speaks to us particularly because of our California roots. Every time we drive down the coast we are inspired by something new—waves breaking against the shore, a beachfront cafe or the laid-back style of our fellow Californians.”

Elissa Grayer Elissa Grayer Interior Design “I attend High Point Market to see and touch everything new in the industry. By being there twice a year I get to experience an incredible world of new products and absorb the talent and inspiration on display around me. I bring that enthusiasm back to my clients! Don’t forget to wear the most comfortable shoes and enjoy all the food and drink the showrooms provide.”

Just like the best hostesses exude warmth and hospitality so, too, do standout spaces. A home that’s fit for entertaining should make handling a crowd look effortless, especially in its most hightraffic zones. Good flow, eye-catching finishes, high-performing appliances and, of course, comfort are fundamental factors in creating areas that invite crowds to linger. Whether it’s a kitchen built for sipping and socializing around a supersized island, or a powder room with enough pizzazz to make a lasting impression, your home’s busiest rooms should be ready to face the public at a moment’s notice. Here, a look at party-ready spaces and products that are as stylish as they are functional. 190 / LUXESOURCE.COM

RESTAURANT QUALITY SMITH HANES

The details-obsessed visionary behind the look of Atlanta’s hottest eateries, including The Optimist and Le Fat, is known for his warm, industrial aesthetic. For this handsome residential kitchen, designer Smith Hanes used reclaimed materials and earthy neutrals to create an atmosphere that feels both vintage and timeless. smithhanes.com

What can homeowners best learn from restaurant design? The most important thing is the lighting. The ideal plans incorporate multiple light sources on many surfaces, like under the open shelving and in the pantry. The goal is always to put people at ease and make them look and feel their best in their surroundings.

Definitely not for the clutter-prone, this showstopper pantry features custom-made steel-and-glass enclosures, playing off the materials used in the adjoining kitchen.

Describe your signature “soft industrial” look. We use materials that are characteristic of the industrial era, such as metal, glass and brick, to create a variety of textures. Pairing them with lighter colors, like cream, blush, pale gray or even, in this case, wood tones, helps to create a softer, warming effect.

Share your vision for the space. The kitchen is meant to function as a place where a large family can gather, so we did an open plan with enough seating for 10 to 12 people. The client had a photo of a wall of cabinets made from old doors and windows; that was the inspiration for the glass pantry.

IN THE NAVY While a simmering pot is usually best kept out of sight from guests, you might want to make an exception for the new collaboration between venerable French cookware company Staub and Food 52. Sporting the on-trend combination of midnight blue with brass accents, the collection is a stylish addition to your stovetop repertoire. food52.com

In recent years, the wall space behind the stove has become the de rigueur place to make an artistic statement in the kitchen. Take the chevron backsplash from Nashville designer April Tomlin, for example, who created the Navajo-inspired design shown here out of MDF covered with fire-safe paint. “I was bored with traditionally used tile,” she says. Open shelves and a snowy white quartz countertop ensure all eyes are on her handiwork. apriltomlin.com

DUTCH treat For this sophisticated kitchen, San Francisco-based designer Nicole Hollis found her muse in an unusual place: a Flemish still-life painting. A moody mix of materials, including steel-framed glass upper cabinets and a gray island topped with Belgian blue limestone, stand in stark contrast with white lower cabinets and a Calacatta Gold marble backsplash. Low-lighting creates ambience and intrigue—the perfect dinner party guests. nicolehollis.com

Ask any chef or caterer: An oversize refrigerator is the unsung hero of effortless entertaining. And with a tray that slides out to accommodate commercial-size sheet pans, the latest built-in model from Blue Star is both workhorse and eye candy— available in 750 customizable colors, including this deep indigo. Its interior is just as attractive as its exterior, thanks to a sleek stainless-steel lining, which makes it not only goodlooking, but better at insulating cold air, as well. bluestarcooking.com

Smoky Rose wallpaper by House of Hackney sets a charming tone for this Studio McGee-designed powder room. A Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co. sconce and Kohler Purist faucet break up the high-contrast black-and-white scheme with warm, brass accents.

Just because it’s a half bath doesn’t mean it can’t be full of style. Small in square footage but big in personality, powder rooms are the perfect forum to express your individuality and design philosophy—after all, you’ve got a captive audience. One way to make an impression? Let a unique wallpaper guide the overall concept, as designer Shea McGee did in this Salt Lake City powder room. “I fell in love with the vintage vibe of this rose print, which inspired the classic feel of the bath as well as the more masculine black-and-white palette,” she says.

Some objets d’art won’t settle for being a wallflower, and this focal wall of unique ceramics proves hard to miss in a Southport, Connecticut, home designed by Mar Silver. 1 / Open Book: Opt for open shelving to exhibit your collection, creating a showstopping visual transition between rooms. This airy display case presents a few select pieces from every angle, without feeling too cluttered. 2 / Blank Page: Whether showcasing a travel keepsake or highly covetable fine art piece, give your collection a suitable stage to shine with polished, minimalist cabinetry as the backdrop: The high-gloss surfaces and vertical steel elements of this unit create a sleek canvas to showcase deeply textured pottery. 3 / Mixed Media: Pair your antiques with more modern fare for a truly eclectic fusion of silhouettes and styles, like this rare 14th-century Southeast Asian water jug paired with cleaner, contemporary pieces. 4 / Vintage Blend: Keep your diverse ceramics in a complementary color palette for a more cohesive feel. The weathered patinas and glossy glazes in this space, for example, all fall in a range of cool white and gray hues. THE DESIGN TEAM:

Delicate, refined artworks are far from precious in this Manhattan living room designed by Tammy Conner, who crafted a truly tailored space with sleek furnishings and a subdued color scheme. 1 / Frame of Mind: Give architectural heft to your painting with a deep beveled frame. This simple but substantial model lets the painting hold its own, while a gilded trim adds tasteful shimmer. 2 / Guiding Light: Shine a spotlight on your collection with task lighting, so your pieces look great no matter the time of day. This picture light, for example, proves equally showcase-worthy in a bronze finish that complements the frame’s metallic accent. 3 / Window Dressing: Display smaller-scale pieces on windowsills for a truly dramatic vignette, like this sinuous sculpture set against a window with sweeping views of Central Park. 4 / True Colors: Take inspiration from your artwork’s color story for a picture-perfect palette for your interiors. Here, the painting’s play on light and dark is mirrored in the room’s textiles, from the ivory ornamental rugs to the midnight-hued drapery.

For this weekend retreat in Bridgehampton, designer Kevin Dumais set the perfect mood for entertaining with a dose of whimsy thanks to the graphic and gleeful image that takes center stage in the dining room. 1 / Light and Bright: Ditch the traditional matte—which could dilute such a striking work—and instead choose a slim and unfussy white frame. The sliver of white still gives a crisp contrast to this highly saturated work, making the primary colors of the sun-kissed scene pop. 2 / Rough-Hewn: Hang your artwork over a textured backdrop for a step beyond basic gallery white walls. For example, this earthy linen wallpaper by Elizabeth Dow adds to the unpretentious ease of this colorful print. 3 / At First Sight: Don’t compromise the sight line to your art with clunky pendant lighting. This vintage chandelier by Arteluce allows the art to be responsible for providing the drama in the room while still adding structural interest overhead. 4 / Full Bloom: Take a note from your dramatic landscape and bring in the great outdoors with some spectacular floral arrangements, like these sculptural flowering branches that lift the eye toward the artwork.

BE OUR GUEST The calendar year may be winding down, but party season is just getting into gear. November and December bring an onslaught of invites, with champagne toasts, air kisses and general good cheer to follow. ’Tis the season to cast open one’s doors and welcome friends, family and acquaintances into the home. With that in mind, we tapped some of our favorite design and event experts for their advice. For instance, beautiful table settings, like the ones seen here, build a sense of anticipation and announce to guests that they are in for a magical evening. It’s just one of a dozen ways to create a gracious and festive mood. Read on for more in our first-ever Luxe report on entertaining.

Good riddance to the days when the kitchen remained hidden from guests. Today, it’s more common for cookspaces to feature dazzling finishes meant for prime time, as in this downtown NYC loft designed by Jenny Wolf. With old-world herringbone wood floors, dark gray-stained cabinetry and open shelving, the effect is equal parts rustic and industrial. A generous island provides plenty of surface area for guests to congregate and graze. The shining star of the space, however, is the backsplash. “I love an antique mirror wall, and I thought it would be a great way to reflect some of the light from the three large casement windows on the opposite wall,” she says. “Not only does it make a beautiful backsplash, but it’s also surprisingly easy to clean.” jennywolfinteriors.com

Dark gray paneled walls create a cocoon-like effect that’s ideal for slumber, while fresh flowers, a water carafe and plenty of reading material make great bedside companions.

AS K T HE EXPE RT What steps can clients take to make their experiences more personally rewarding? Understanding where, how and why designs were made. It serves as a storytelling vehicle.

Tucker Robbins Principal

How would you describe your clientele? Creative, curious and open-minded with big hearts.

200 Lexington Avenue, Suite 504 New York, New York 212.355.3383 tucker@tuckerrobbins.com tuckerrobbins.com

How do you define luxury? The most luxurious of materials are 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.

TUCKER ROBBINS “Our philosophy is to build cultural bridges,” says designer Tucker Robbins. “We combine ancient techniques, salvaged materials and iconic forms to create furniture that is both modern and timeless.” Tucker Robbins, a high-end furnishings and accessories brand of which Robbins is the founder and namesake, has offered exquisite collections for more than 30 years. From beautifully unusual lighting options to sculptural forms providing functional and aesthetic qualities alike, the brand strives to meet the needs of design professionals and homeowners while exuding inspiration and meaning. “More than mere conversation pieces, my creations are links between the indigenous, unique craft and contemporary culture,” Robbins says. “My purpose is to connect their individual and collective souls, cultures, heritages, lifestyles, thoughts, dreams and values. They are bridges that are a vital part of reinventing the fabric of society as it moves into a more creative future, where meaning and purpose are the new currency. It brings cultures and lifestyles together, connecting them through an object with a deep story and message. These cultures might otherwise be fragmented, perhaps even lost to each other.” It was through this ambition that the firm’s first collection of home furnishings was born. Reimagining the possibilities of space and materials in a marketplace as vivacious as New York has allowed Robbins to exhibit diversity and creativity, whether envisioning a piece to be built from scratch or reconstructing an existing one. His approach to successful design comes down to three key words: simplicity, elegance and authenticity. In describing his overarching goal, Robbins says he hopes he is still telling stories through his work in 30 years. “When a piece is harmonic, it speaks for itself and reflects the gift of life.”

Susan Anderson Owner and Principal Designer 3 Sconset Square Westport, Connecticut 203.557.9137 info@whitebirchstudio.com whitebirchstudio.com

What are you working on next? A complete renovation in Weston. We have taken a 4,000-squarefoot 90s contemporary and are turning it into a modern barn. How do you define luxury? A good book and a cashmere throw.

WHITE BIRCH STUDIO First established as a retail shop offering interior design services to its customers, Westport-based White Birch Studio is today a full-service design firm, in addition to being a purveyor of exquisite furniture and accessories. As owner and principal designer Susan Anderson explains it, “Over the past five years we have gathered architects, contractors, electricians, plumbers and upholsterers to join us in projects, from inception to completion. And of course, our interiors team is still there to coordinate all the finishing touches.” Drawn to the field of interior design by a love of texture and space, Anderson says her favorite part of each project is defining the big picture, identifying the homeowner’s wants and needs and determining an aesthetic influence that is informed by them. Asked whether her firm’s designs are recognizable, Anderson says the array of styles and level of customization makes this impossible. “A home should be a reflection of you and your sensibilities,” she says. “It should be your sanctuary, where you can shut out the world, relax and be whoever you want to be, while surrounding yourself with all things beautiful: family, friends and, of course, extraordinary furnishings.” As a means of aiding homeowners in accomplishing the home furnishings part of this dream, Anderson and her team have created a luxury marketplace of carefully curated objects for the home. The designer employs a “do what it takes” attitude as her philosophy and the satisfaction of transforming an unattractive space into one of beauty as her motivation. In discussing the criterion of good design, she says, “We do a variety of looks, and we take our lead from the client, but a great space is clean, simple and elegant.”

TOP: For this new construction in Fairfield Beach, the client wanted a fun yet elegant summer house. BOTTOM: Sophistication mixed with a bit of whimsy makes this the perfect home for a Westport-based artist.

Limelight hydrangeas spill over the stone retaining walls of a property overlooking the Long Island Sound, adding lush texture to the landscape; in the walled garden are tall Robusta junipers. A covered terrace boasts sunset views to New York City and features a fireplace that is also part of the master bedroom suite.

he rock is imposing: craggy, but softened by tufts of cordgrass. It’s a commanding presence amid the Long Island Sound, one steeped in history—an astonishing 600 million years in age. Seduced by the site, a couple from Greenwich, Connecticut, who had always wanted to live by the water, quickly enlisted a formidable design team—designer Linda Ruderman, architect Don H. Aitken, landscape architect Janice Parker and builder Ken Bacco, who has since retired—along with art curator Margot Stein, owner of Margot Stein Gallery, to create their dream “bucket-list” home, a comfortable place to host their family of three grown children and seven grandchildren. The property informs the palette with references to the beach and water through pale peach, dusty aqua, beiges and creams. “Every room you walk into faces water,” Ruderman says. “We wanted to embrace the view, not upstage it.”

_LX_NY26_HOM_Ruderman_16.indd 231

Nature, however, wasn’t as welcoming. “It was a very challenging site,” Aitken says. “The 1.8-acre property seems almost island-like but is connected back to the shoreline by a sandy causeway.” The restrictive outline of the rocky grounds, along with stringent FEMA regulations, provided little flexibility for the layout of the house, he says, “but worked to our advantage with living spaces on the first and second floors facing south, toward the views of the Long Island Sound.” The 10,000-square-foot “stone country estate”—as the team refers to it—is built to last in environmentally challenging conditions. All exterior doors and windows are solid mahogany, and the roof is slate instead of a more vulnerable wood shingle. While the wife has a passion for antiques, the couple embraced a cleaner look for the interiors that Ruderman punctuated with Biedermeier style. A key aspect was bringing in silk and wool rugs from Orley Shabahang, which

Chunky stone pillars anchor a serpentine stainless-steel-andcable stairway leading to the water. Plantings include spreading English yews with pockets of mixed creeping sedum, thyme, delosperma and purple fountain grasses.

The footprint of the living room dictated a symmetrical layout. Here, designer Linda Ruderman placed sofas back to back, separating them with a console, and mirror-imaged most of the furniture; the cocktail table is Bel-Air by John Boone and customized by Ruderman. Two custom Biedermeier wooden armchairs are upholstered in Weitznerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marisol fabric. The stools are custom Biedermeier from Gaisbauer in Westport, Connecticut, and the custom rug is from Orley Shabahang.

are handmade and washed for softness. The wife fell in love with the look when she saw an ad for the company in a magazine. “I love the modern aesthetic,” she says, “and I wanted a more eclectic style.” The long living room suggested a divided layout that’s largely a mirror image, with a custom limestone fireplace on one side flanked by a pair of early-19th-century Biedermeier chests and custom John Boone convex zebrawood mirrors. Ruderman introduced large glass coffee tables so as not to draw attention or interrupt the eye span, creating a flow through the space. Although the dining room dimensions are modest, its volume deceives, with a 22-foot-high ceiling and an 18-foot-high window with a southern view the designer did not want to block. Her solution to fill the space: a handblown amber glass

chandelier by London-based Sharon Marston. The light fixture has various-sized glass bells that are gradiently hued, from light at the top to dark at the bottom, hanging on fiber-optic LED strings. In the kitchen, Ruderman prepared for large family gatherings with a custom banquette built into the back of a curved island teamed with an oval glass-and-walnut table. A decorative painter finished cabinetry in a distressed taupe and cream, and the designer maintained these neutral tones in the adjacent family room, which boasts a stone fireplace wall. Outside, Parker followed the lead of the site for the landscaping. “The architecture is this rock,” she says, referring to the grounds. To accent the land, Parker employed local native granite and fieldstone veneers for

Calacatta Caldia marble tops the kitchen’s 4-by-14-foot island, which has curved banquette seating built into it. A custom oval table from Daniel Scuderi handles large gatherings; the polished-nickel Compass pendant lights are from Waterworks.

hardscaping and designed a serpentine stair with landings that offer delightful pockets of plantings with sedum and thyme. “I wanted to bring in some crunchy, interesting texture and color closer to the house,” she explains. But the wife also wanted roses and an English garden— no small task on the ruddy, weather-beaten site, which had lost much of its precarious vegetation to Hurricane Sandy. “Native plantings needed to be salt-tolerant,” says Parker, who delivered a lush, romantic cottage look in the more intimate areas around the house with hardy Rugosa roses and blooms such as Montauk daisies. Hydrangeas spill out in borders: macrophilus mopheads, Limelight, some Nikko Blues. “I was grateful to create raised plant beds, with

flowers and seasonal display,” she adds. And in this coastal setting, “an infinity pool was a no-brainer,” Parker says, pointing out how the pool seamlessly blends into the sound. One of the most beautiful terraces to take in this view is from the master bedroom, a tranquil space in an envelope of blue-green watery hues. “You feel like you’re on a boat,” the wife says. Upholstered walls create a cozy ambience, and a custom Biedermeier-style bed adds a warm element. French doors on both sides lead to a curving porch, where there’s an outdoor fireplace and a killer view of New York City. It is the ideal place to end the day. “My husband and I go around pinching ourselves,” the wife says. “It’s sheer perfection—a dream come true.”

CULTURE CLUB FOR HIS BICOASTAL CLIENT, A SAN FRANCISCO DESIGNER CREATES A PITCH-PERFECT PIED-À-TERRE THAT EXUDES OLD NEW YORK. WRITTEN BY JORGE S. ARANGO / PHOTOGRAPHY BY AARON LEITZ

an Francisco-based designer Ian Stallings describes his client, 47-year-old technology transactions lawyer Darryl Chiang, as an old-fashioned gentleman. “He always wears bespoke suits with a pocket square and cufflinks,” he says. “In a world of T-shirts and jeans, he stands out in the best possible way.” Stallings had emphasized his client’s dapper style when he first worked with Chiang on his San Francisco house, creating a home that was modern and neatly tailored with lots of blue and gray—much like his client’s suits, which Chiang has custom-made on London’s Savile Row. But Stallings’ design for Chiang’s Manhattan piedà-terre required something a little different. “I’m the son of immigrants from China who lost their home,” Chiang explains. “My yearning for some sense of rootedness and my realization that I am American made me appreciate Western traditional architecture, and it also made me want a home that would evoke New York in the prewar period.” Chiang discovered what he was looking for in a onebedroom apartment in a 1912 building on the West Side. The designers of the building, brothers George Blum and Edward Blum, had become famous for blending Arts and Crafts style with the tile, terra cotta and glazed or tinted brick they encountered in Paris while studying architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts. “I was impressed with the authenticity of the building—and this unit in particular,” Chiang recalls. Picking up on the apartment’s period details, Stallings decided to embrace an aesthetic reminiscent of the venerable men’s clubs that proliferated in England and America in a bygone era. “But we made it less stuffy,” he says. “The whole apartment doesn’t take itself too seriously.”

Flanking the entry to the kitchen are a framed handmade vintage paper piece and a mirror from RH. Kitchen cabinetry sporting Bauerware unlacquered brass pulls surrounds a DeLonghi gas range.

Maps, for example—a staple of men’s club décor—appear throughout but in less literal (and sometimes downright funny) incarnations. The entry hall, for instance, features a grouping of vintage maps and cityscape prints hung salón-style—and closer inspection shows the prankish artist has inserted science-fiction characters into them. A painting above the living room sofa resembles a sonar map, and the enigmatic imagery of two collages (from David King’s Talisman series) by the bed could be referencing cell clusters as much as aerial views of islands. To accent the rooms, Stallings turned to color that was clean and contemporary. “My color inspiration was autumn in New York, when it’s the most fun to be here,” he says. “All the parties are happening, leaves are changing, the temperature is great and there’s a crispness in the air. There is something about deep rich tones that suits the East Coast.” Rather than using a different color to accentuate such architectural details as egg-and-dart moldings and wainscoting, Stallings painted everything a rosy mauve, which he describes as having “the luscious texture of chocolate milk.” There are subtle variations to the color’s values, depending on whether it graces paneling, bare wall or molding, yet overall it reads as one hue. The apartment also boasts sartorial touches throughout, mainly in men’s suiting fabrics used on various furnishings. The bed is attired in a wool-flannel windowpane pattern, and living room chairs are suited in a tweedy plaid that brings to mind a Burberry coat; herringbone covers custom ottomans. Even the shapes of the furnishings, such as the tuxedo arms of the sofa, appear expertly trim and fitted.

Between the Inigo Elizalde rug and a ceiling papered in Cole & Son’s Fornasetti collection Nuvolette wallpaper stands a bed from Plantation in San Francisco dressed in men’s wool suiting. Holly Hunt mohair covers the antique English wingchair from Coup D’Etat in San Francisco. Atop the Williams-Sonoma console is a Ralph Lauren Home Sabrina lamp from Circa Lighting.

Overt nods to the era of the building can be found in many of the American and European antiques as well as the overhead light fixtures in the living room and bedroom. But other pieces reference the 1910s with a sly, knowing wit, such as the living room rug that evokes a Charles Rennie Mackintosh-style pattern blown up to a larger scale or the wallpaper on the bedroom ceiling. The latter is reminiscent of the work of Piero Fornasetti, who was inspired by turnof-the-century engravings. Though most of the furnishings are recently acquired, certain touches made the bicoastal leap from San Francisco, functioning as touchstones that remind Chiang of home. The blue sofa, for instance, picks up the palette of his West Coast abode. And the cloud-like wallpaper in the bedroom, while a different scale and colorway, is like that of his dining room in California. “I love that it looks like an etching,” Chiang says. “It’s so dramatic, and it takes me to a dream place.” Thanks to Stallings’ astute awareness of his client, Chiang’s apartment now looks and feels like a finely tailored suit custom-made for a true gentleman. As proof of just how in sync designer and client are, the atmosphere Stallings created—unbeknownst to him—uncannily ended up being a dead ringer for the private club ambience of Anderson & Sheppard, one of the London haberdasheries Chiang frequents. “The wall color is the same, maybe off by only one or two degrees,” marvels Stallings, who has never set foot in the shop. Now married, Chiang had offered to paint the walls of his former bachelor pad to help his wife feel at home. But after mulling it over, he says, “she kept an open mind to experiencing Ian’s original vision—another reason I know I’m with the right partner!”

oday, when you think of a maker in Brooklyn it’s hard not to picture a bearded, plaid-wearing carpenter fashioning a rough-hewn cocktail table from a slab of reclaimed wood. But for Daniel Hellman and Eric Chang, of Bushwick-based furniture brand Hellman-Chang, this image couldn’t be further from the truth. “We’ve turned that concept slightly on its ear by bringing in a perspective of refinement and luxury,” says Chang, referring to the übersleek, downright sexy, aesthetic of his and Hellman’s handcrafted line of furnishings, which favors sharp silhouettes and polished surfaces over the unfinished look of the moment. “When we started working on our line nearly twelve years ago, Brooklyn was still the rougher sister borough to Manhattan,” explains Chang. “It would be some time before it became the global

epicenter of art, design and culinary prowess it’s known for now.” It’s easy to say Hellman and Chang had a hand in shaping this reputation. The twosome chose a 5-by-10-foot rented woodshop space in the formerly gritty locale as their first studio. It was here that they created the now iconic Z pedestal, an angular wooden side table that put them on the map. Their Z tables were quickly enlisted for such prestigious interiors as the Four Seasons Hotel in Seattle and Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment with Mr. Big in Sex and the City 2. Now, in the heart of Bushwick, the brand occupies a 16,000-square-foot warehouse space that contains a woodworking studio, finishing facility and a team of fourteen. The designers first met in a sixth-grade math class in suburban Washington, D.C., where they both grew up. “Since we have been friends for so long, we are able to read each other on

Each aspect of Hellman-Chang furniture is carefully considered and executed, including (shown here, clockwise from top left) the reference board of its furniture finishes, the gluing and clamping of the pieces, and the handsanding of the products.

a different level than if we had simply met in business school and started a company,” says Hellman. In high school, they started fiddling around with woodworking tools in Hellman’s parents’ garage, and fell in love with the craft. This “students by day/woodworkers by night” persona continued through college, and when the friends met up in New York City after graduation, Hellman-Chang was born. Chang, who studied marketing at New York University, is the brand’s creative lead and defines the company’s look: tailored with a hint of glam. Hellman is the man behind the scenes, a technical thinker, who often reins in Chang’s big ideas. “We know when to push on the other, and we know when to back off and let the other fulfill their role,” Hellman explains.

This give-and-take is perhaps best exemplified in the brand’s newest introduction: Natalia. When speaking about the launch, Chang notes that the sharp-lined sideboard—which features an optional inset marble top, solid brushedbrass cladding and thin, angled pulls—is one of the brand’s simpler forms, comparing it to their more sculptural Sternum chaise, which was designed for the company by Don Howell. The pared-down silhouette forces you to take a deeper look and focus on its meticulous craftsmanship, an inclination the designers are quick to encourage. Chang concludes, “There are few things more satisfying than envisioning something in your mind, drawing it on paper, and then fabricating it into reality, all in the beautiful craft of solid wood.”

fter a dozen years in Europe—most of them in London—a finance professional and his family were headed home to New York for good, and they were in search of an apartment that had the expansiveness of a house with the convenience of a doorman—not an easy task. But after combing more than three dozen properties, they finally found it: a Rosario Candela-designed prewar duplex with gracious scale and loads of potential. “The space was very much reminiscent of an English home. It had the classic English-Georgian proportions,” says designer Rachel Laxer. Indeed, the apartment’s wide firstfloor gallery that spans an enfilade of formal spaces, with window exposures on three sides of the building, could be taken straight from London’s Regent’s Park, she notes.

LX_NY26_NATpickup_HOM_Laxer_12.indd 262

“This is a really rare find,” adds architect Mary Burnham, who assisted the owners in their search. “You just don’t see these apartments very often with this incredible scale.” Laxer and Burnham reinterpreted much of the apartment’s original detailing as they transformed it into an elegant showcase for contemporary artwork and furnishings. “We hid all the modern devices, like wiring, to allow the spaces breath,” Burnham says. “Every room was completely gutted and put back together.” On the first floor, the architect designed elevated door heights to match the scale of the public spaces, replaced the old dining room with a family room and informal meal area, eliminated a dreary kitchen in favor of a streamlined Bulthaup design, and brought a distinguished paneled library back to its former glory.

10/13/16 3:25 PM

Carefully considering the homeowners’ passion for art, Laxer married the architectural craftsmanship of Candela’s time with the classic designs of Italian modernists such as Gio Ponti and the edgier work of present-day artisans. “These people could be creating sculpture, but they’re making furniture,” she says, referring to the home’s bespoke furnishings and lighting as “functional art,” adding, “I don’t believe it’s all about the paintings on the wall. I believe art is all around you.” The designer had free rein to fill the canvas, because the few pieces of furniture her clients brought back with them were mostly destroyed in storage during Superstorm Sandy. “In some respects, it was very freeing,” the wife says. “I wasn’t tied down to anything. Everything is brand-new and meant for that apartment.” To help with the art, the owners brought on consultant Candace Worth of Worth Art Advisory, who collaborated with them to choose artwork and sculpture, while Laxer worked with them on everything else, starting with a pair

LX_NY26_NATpickup_HOM_Laxer_12.indd 267

of Ponti club chairs she and the wife found at auction. “I have a very unhealthy obsession with midcentury Italian furniture and art,” the wife says. Laxer sees those chairs as “a driving force of the story,” which starts in the gallery that connects all the first-floor spaces. “You walk in the door, and the message is there,” she explains—everything is as finely crafted as Ponti’s design, such as the sinuous iron chairs upholstered with cowhide and leather by French designer Mattia Bonetti. “You have to be fearless,” says Laxer. To this end, she chose big statement pieces—sculptural Nest lights by Salomé de Fontainieu and a contemporary rug by artist Kate Blee—to create interest above and interest below. Laxer took that same approach into the husband’s office, which builder Josh Wiener meticulously restored. Its clubby paneling and trim get a jolt from the wild, faceted colors of a bar cabinet by Boca do Lobo. “I never in a million years would say, ‘Oh, that will look beautiful in a paneled office.’ But it does!” the wife says. Wiener’s team, meanwhile,

Richard Misrach’s Untitled photograph accents a wall in the dining area, which features a walnut-and-bronze table by Hudson Furniture. The chandelier, made with glass lenses, is by British artist Mark Brazier-Jones; the host chairs are by Promemoria, and the side chairs are by Christian Liaigre.

Below and opposite: An informal room serves as both a breakfast nook and a casual sitting area where the family can relax. In the breakfast area, a stone table with an iron base from Desiron is complemented by Christian Liagre chairs and a banquette covered in Pierre Frey wool fabric. Nearby, a custom iron-and-resin coffee table by Martha Sturdy sits atop a Stark carpet.

Israeli artist Arik Levy designed a sculpture within his Wireflow chandelier that hangs in the apartmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stairwell; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deceivingly modest at the bottom and only reveals itself as one climbs the stairs. The bench is by Caste Design through Holly Hunt.

Frank King of Artistic Woodfinishing restored and refreshed the original paneling of the husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Modern touches include a stone fireplace surround, a prism-like bar cabinet by Boca do Lobo and a leather-and-walnut desk by Promemoria. Yankee by photographer Hendrik Kerstens hangs over the mantel.

A traditional Chesterfield sofa might be the only expected piece in the husband’s paneled office. Laxer added edge with a custom ottoman, iron-and-leather chairs from the David Gill Gallery in London and a vintage Moroccan patchwork rug.

bleached the paneling to brighten the space and installed LED lighting at the top to illuminate the ornate original ceiling, which they repaired and restored. Wiener also rebuilt the stairway to Burnham and Laxer’s design. “It was a complicated process,” Wiener says of the staircase, a dramatic sculptural volume. “You’re trying to make a very traditional prewar-architecture building fit today’s standards.” Building regulations required him to use original materials—wire mesh and plaster—to fabricate the stairs and replace walls and ceilings to accommodate the modern wiring, ductwork and central air. The result is stunning, wrapping the space around an arresting custom light fixture by Arik Levy that doubles as art. “It looks like

we’re just illuminating the sculpture at the bottom of the stairs,” Laxer says. “The surprise is, as you go up the stairs, you don’t expect to find this other sculpture in a floating framework.” The second floor was revamped for today’s standards, as well. Burnham redesigned the entire layout, adding a media room that doubles as a guest room with a custom Murphy bed, and vastly expanding the master suite to include a sleek bathroom, ample closets and a laundry room. It’s exactly the kind of home where the owners can settle for the long term with their twin teenage boys. Living abroad, the wife says, “we never had a sense of permanence. This is finally a place we can live in forever.”

10/13/16 3:26 PM

In the master bedroom, pendant lights (one shown here) made with recycled glass and jewelerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wire by CL Sterling & Son hang like earrings over lacquered bedside tables by Pacific Connections. Laxer designed the leather-grid paneling that frames the bed. The linens are Frette.

Above: Laxer had a quilt fabricated from the silk scarves of the wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late mother, and she lined it in cashmere by Holland & Sherry. It lies in the master bedroom across a chaise lounge by Homenature next to a New Antiques accent table by Marcel Wanders. Left: A vintage Paolo Buffa vanity, purchased from a Paris flea market, highlights one wall in the master bedroom. Laxer paired it with a vintage brass seat she got through 1stdibs.
