WHAT’S NEW
_LX_COM12_EditorLetter.indd 84
The season of renewal (current projects! fresh ideas!) is here—and yet spring can also be a time when buds take a tad longer to bloom and concepts need coaxing to get started. We’ve all been there with the proverbial blank page staring us down. So, consider this New + Now issue to be an inspiration injection, where we update your point of view with discoveries that allow you to step outside the day-to-day and dive into something altogether new. Costas Voyatzis, the man behind yatzer.com, the global kaleidoscope of what’s happening in art, fashion and design, lets us in on the top brands to watch in 2017. We also
present the latest in side tables, report on the trend of vivid color making its way into homes across the country (Farrow & Ball Chappell Green, I have my eyes on you!), and head outdoors for a showcase of sumptuous new textiles. This spring, we also invite you online to the enhanced luxesource.com. Browse around and take a look. We’ll be tweaking things in the weeks to come, but hope you enjoy our ever-evolving digital home for design inspiration and discovery.

BEHIND THE SCENES PRODUCED BY SARAH RAMIREZ
LIZ ARNOLD Writer / New York Favorite Luxe interview: I really enjoyed speaking with designer Michael Siller and luxury rug specialist Larry Hokanson about their own Houston home. They are both history buffs and enthusiasts of Russian classicism, and they are incredibly knowledgeable on the intersection of history and design. They filled their interiors with reproductions of exquisite pieces selected during trips to The State Hermitage Museum in Russia, and I still have plans to show up on their doorstep one day to see it for myself! Who is the most fascinating person you’ve ever met? Eva Zeisel. She was a playful Hungarian-born industrial designer who was imprisoned by Joseph Stalin’s regime before moving her ceramics into mass production, and she had the first one-woman show at the MoMA. Sadly, she passed away in 2011 at the age of 105. Prized possessions: A coin pendant of Queen Elizabeth II—a gift from my late father—that I wear on a long necklace; a vintage French upholstered armchair in mustard yellow that’s so low you feel like you’re in a sports car; and my computer, which stores all of my writing and ideas.
EMILY MINTON REDFIELD Photographer / Denver
What do you find inspiring about design today? Having nostalgia for 1970s wallpaper, I love seeing the new designs and appreciation for this art form. I can’t wait to put an Abigail Borg paper in my powder room and make it a fresh, retro jewel box. Unforgettable Luxe shoot: One of my most memorable projects was a home designed by my visionary father, Joseph Minton. Not only were the house and location beautiful, but I was also able to do the shoot in my pajamas alongside my dad. On your coffee table: I am inspired by design books and have them all over my house, but I am mostly fueled by fiction. My recent favorites are City of Thieves by David Benioff and All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. Most fascinating person you’ve ever met: The Maharaja of Jaipur at a small dinner party in Delhi, India, when I was 24.
LX_COM12_Contributors.indd 98
MARK ROSKAMS Photographer / New York Whose work are you most influenced by? Photographer Raymond Meier, who does such brilliant and innovative work in the commercial advertising and editorial fields; photographer François Halard, who developed a unique style in the world of interior photography; and designer and artist Doug Meyer, a longtime friend and collaborator who gives me so much inspiration in regards to design. What type of design inspires you? I really enjoy Santiago Calatrava’s bridges, buildings and public spaces, as well as Brutalist architecture of the old regimes, which are such amazing structures in their own right. Favorite assignments: In 2010, I worked on a book with Rizzoli in Puglia, Italy, and then on a second book last year. They were both great projects, and the memories of meeting people and seeing firsthand the beauty of many things—humanity, history, architecture, life, food and passion—will last forever. I am continuing this endeavor with a new book I am planning this year on the stables and barns of the British Isles.
LAURA FISHER KAISER Writer / Washington, D.C. My biggest creative influence comes from… Viewing art. I try to go to a museum once a week. Dream assignment: I would love to have a time-machine talk show called What Were You Thinking, where I interview famous, and infamous, people from history. Most-loved book: The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt’s New World by Andrea Wulf. She rummages through the scientist’s notebooks and inside his mind to show how his ideas helped create modern environmentalism. What advice would you give your 20-year-old self? Think big, but master the details. Also, find a good therapist. If not a writer, I would be… A Smithsonian museum curator.

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

NEW YORK WHAT IT IS: Located on Canal Street in New York City, Colony is equal parts showroom and gallery with carefully curated goods from independent designers—many with ties to the area and working studios in nearby Brooklyn. Founded and curated by entrepreneur Jean Lin, the design co-op also has a strategic arm, named Colony Consult, developed to help designers better position their work in the retail market. WHAT IT DOES: Colony provides a community for the furniture, lighting, textile and object designers who call it home. In addition to offering a brick-and-mortar location for members to showcase their goods, Lin also thinks outside the box with a series of exhibits and pop-ups with neighboring non-endemic businesses to drive new traffic to the space. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Industry darlings like Erickson Aesthetics, whose in-progress copper Manifold chair is featured on our Radar opener, count themselves part of Colony, as do craftsman and designer Aaron Poritz (pictured far right), whose gorgeous Abner toolbox (shown on the previous page) offers both form and function; lighting upstart Allied Maker and its Voyager 333 chandelier (shown right, top); and the woodworking wunderkinds behind Vonnegut/Kraft, who are responsible for the handsome Black Crescent lounge (right, bottom).
▲ JOIN DESIGN
SEATTLE WHAT IT IS: Founded in 2008 by the prolific minds behind some of the Pacific Northwest’s most successful creative practices—Grain, Iacoli & McAllister and Ladies & Gentlemen Studio, for example—Join Design has become much more than a venture to showcase local talents and now includes more than 50 members
LX_COM12_Radar_Made_In_America.indd 104
from independent design studios all over the country. WHAT IT DOES: In addition to hosting events and exhibits featuring products (made in the USA, of course) from its impressive roster of makers, Join also solicits new product design, curates its own collections for popular trade shows, offers mentorship programs and organizes retail pop-ups. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Multimedia artist Aleksandra Pollner’s
unique and modern approach to traditional furniture constructs, as shown in the table above, left, is breathtaking; designer Melanie Abrantes creates chic accessories (above, right) using beautifully grained wood and cork, the nonconventional material of our dreams; and The Granite’s expert handling of form and function makes even the most mundane of objects extraordinary.

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

HUBBARDTON FORGE’S DESIGN DIRECTOR DAVID KITTS SHARES HOW ONE OF THE COUNTRY’S OLDEST AND LARGEST COMMERCIAL FORGES IN OPERATION IS EXPANDING—WITH ITS NEWEST LINE, VERMONT MODERN—AND REDEFINING AMERICAN CRAFTSMANSHIP. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRITTANY S. CHEVALIER
Speaking of process, tell us how you brought your visions to life. Our design process starts off very hands-on: We make a sketch and often work with steel, paper or foam models, and then we figure out how to illuminate the initial concept. As an unconventional design group, we were able to “loosen up” and really have fun with the offerings. We quickly realized, though, that fun isn’t always easy; there’s a fine line between a design that is simple and a design that is pure. Striving for this purity has been both enjoyable and challenging. Why is it so important to continue to honor the company’s tradition of craft? It’s a part of Hubbardton Forge’s legacy—the commitment to the handmade—and it was one of the driving forces behind Vermont Modern. Everyone here believes in it, which is good since a lot of people contribute to the final product. For example, three different departments work intently on constructing the actual form—from molding and cutting the steel to cleaning raw edges and prepping the material for welding. After the elements are forged
LX_COM12_Radar_Debut.indd 108
together, they’re cleaned again before heading to the final three departments, starting with the finishing team. In this stage, the products are powder-coated and cured in our ovens, then sent to assembly, where they are completed and tested before shipping out. Share some of the materials you added to this line to complement Hubbardton’s signature steel. We introduced Vermont maple in a natural finish that is locally sourced from Maple Landmark, a wooden toy crafter 30 miles north of the forge in Vermont. We thought the wood element added a nice natural contrast to the steel, and its natural state adds a touch of Danish modern appeal.
Do you have a favorite piece in the collection? While I am intrigued by the Metro pendant (shown here), and the duality of its piping acting as a functional and primary decorative element, I am also drawn to our Copernicus design. It is very different from anything we have ever done, as it is very minimal and comprises only three basic components: an LED light, steel rails, and wooden balls that act as isolators. In the past, we would have tried to add a forged-steel element to give it something more, but with Vermont Modern we are really trying to keep the design pure by boiling it down to its innate essence.
PHOTO: JUDE GOLDMAN .
Hubbardton Forge’s newest collection is innovative and fresh and marks a shift from its more traditional offerings. What was the inspiration behind the line? The initial goal for Vermont Modern was to appeal to a younger, more urban demographic, to people who appreciate high-quality, contemporary design from a socially responsible domestic manufacturer who still crafts each piece one at a time.

RADAR / BEHIND THE BRAND
Family Affair MCKINNON AND HARRIS EMBRACES A LOCAL, HANDMADE ETHOS, INSTILLING A SENSE OF TRADITION AND PLACE IN THE COMPANY’S OUTDOOR FURNISHINGS.
“We always say that we don’t want to be the biggest outdoor furniture maker in the world; we just want to be the best,” says Anne Massie, the cofounder, with her brother Will, of Richmond, Virginia-based McKinnon and Harris. For the siblings, the key to being the best means keeping things local. The pair opened their doors in 1991, and the area, itself a historic center of craft, provides a spark that has allowed the company to thrive. Says Will Massie, “McKinnon and Harris could never live in an industrial park; we crave the energy and inspiration of our city.” Born from rough pencil sketches, McKinnon and Harris’ furnishings are handmade in a workshop flooded with light thanks to a clerestory running the length of the building. After being refined by the Massies and their team of engineers, the designs are put into production in a process relying on methods both old and new. Hammers, mallets, hand files of varying shapes and sizes, chisels and clamps can be found in the factory, along with a 62-person force of craftspeople who possess knowledge and skill born of years of practice. “You can palpably feel the drive for excellence and innovation and hear the hum of hands working and the sounds of metal being formed,” says Will. Time-honored practices, though, share space with cutting-edge technology, especially when it comes to the company’s coating process, which manages to be both environmentally friendly and effective. Inspiration for their pieces comes from traditional sources: A new collection launching this spring came by way of a nautical-feeling, French Art Deco chair from the 1930s. The roots of new designs also start closer to home—namely from Anne’s garden at her historic residence. “Spending a lot of time there makes it easy to realize what would
LX_COM12_Radar_BehindTheBrand.indd 110
make my own outdoor spaces more comfortable,” she shares. There’s also the Wyatt garden table collection, titled after the Massies’ grandmother, Ella Wyatt McKinnon Massie, while their Beaufort club chairs are named after a family dog always on the lookout for the most comfortable seat. The siblings are committed to keeping their focus on outdoor furnishings and their operations local. “Absolutely no one knows as much as we do about building and coating beautiful aluminum furniture,” notes Anne. “For now, we plan to continue innovating and perfecting our first love.” And, in keeping with that smaller yet better ethos, they’re staying small and close to home. “Our pieces deserve to never see a factory floor,” says Will. “Plus, it would be impossible to achieve our level of perfection on any larger of a scale. Mass-producing McKinnon and Harris’ Beaufort club chairs gather around a Wyatt table or overseas manufacturing would (top) at the home of company cofounder Will Massie (shown center, left, be a completely soulless endeavor, with sister and business partner Anne Massie); the duVal-Alexander sun and we couldn’t do it.” bed is shown above.

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

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

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

WHO: Sheena Murphy, founder and designer of Sheep + Stone, a Brooklyn-based design studio known for its use of neutral, soft colors and organic materials. WHAT: This inspiring feed offers a mix of Murphy’s personal and work life, both of which are visually forceful. Expect shots of her runs around New York, moments in her studio, site visits with clients, and trips home to her native England and other locales. WHY: Because the moments Murphy finds uplifting or interesting will certainly resonate with you. Her love of soft-white hues (Murphy loves Instagram’s “Moon” filter, as she’s self-admittedly a little color-averse) provides a nice visual relief from everyday life. IN HER WORDS: “I try not to think too much about getting the right photo, because I am most certainly not a professional photographer, but I think the most important thing in any photo is the composition of a scene. That’s what really catches my eye.”
HAWKINS NEW YORK When did you open? We welcomed guests to our first Manhattan store, at 17 8th Ave. in the West Village, in August. Why the West Village? We love the intimate scale of the neighborhood. It was also our best bet for finding an architecturally historic storefront, which was a design element we were seeking from the get-go. Describe the space. The building was originally conceived as a candy store, and it still retains its playful pastel-and-white mosaic tile floor and tin ceiling. It has a small footprint, so we kept the color palette light and airy to add depth and left the brick walls exposed and painted them white, treated the windows with sheer linen curtains and outfitted the space with a metallic-brass checkout counter. What’s on the floor? This store is different from our Hudson shop in that it is stocked 95 percent by our own products; whereas, in Hudson, 30 to 40 percent is third party. There’s something for nearly every room in the house: vases, cutting boards, pillows, bath products, tea towels, bedding, furniture pieces and rugs. As our line expands, we will start to curate what’s on display by season. hawkinsnewyork.com 130 / LUXESOURCE.COM

BLUEPRINT WOOLWORTH TOWER
If you’re looking for a home that has a place in history (and is on the National Historic Landmarks list to boot), look no further than 2 Park Place in New York’s TriBeCa neighborhood. The Woolworth Building was commissioned in 1910 by retail tycoon Frank W. Woolworth, who appointed architect Cass Gilbert to oversee its design. When it was completed three years later, President Woodrow Wilson officially introduced it to the New York skyline from the White House by pressing a button that turned on the lights of what was then the tallest building in the world.
Today, the top 30 floors of the 60-story structure belong to 33 new loft-like homes composing The Woolworth Tower Residences. French architect Thierry W. Despont outfitted the interiors with herringbone oak floors, Calacatta Caldia marble countertops, Miele appliances, freestanding tubs and large windows that frame immaculate views of the cityscape and waterway. Tenants also have access to a parking garage and a 24-hour doorman as well as a pool and spa, fitness studio and wine cellar complete with a tasting room. thewoolworthtower.com

OPEN HOUSE SHOPS + SHOWROOMS
Design-savvy New Yorkers should plan for a day trip to Connecticut, because Manhattan’s neighbor has a weekend-full of fresh shops and galleries to explore. The most recent addition is in Greenwich, where Gilles Clement’s new art spot, Gilles Clement Gallery (45 E. Putnam Ave.), features pop, urban and contemporary pieces made exclusively for and distributed solely by the gallery. Down the road is Perfect Provenance (47 Arch St.), a combination design store and café. In addition to offering bespoke decor, barware and paper products, it will house rotating art exhibits centered on a common theme; currently, the motif is “We’ll Always Have Paris.” And in New Preston, Michael DePerno and Andrew Fry converted a quaint cottage into Plain Goods (1 New Preston Hill Rd.), below, which is stocked with products from textiles and jewelry to teas and Japanese beer glasses.

HOW SHOULD WE LIVE? PROPOSITIONS FOR THE MODERN INTERIOR
THE INSIDER SANDRA FUNK Founder and principal designer of House of Funk, Sandra Funk knows her way around a house. She launched her design firm 10 years ago and has since been outfitting spaces from compact New York City digs to sprawling New Jersey country homes. When not in her House of Funk studio in Manhattan, the designer is working at her other studio location, in Montclair, New Jersey. Here, we ask Funk what the design scene looks like in and around the Garden State. houseoffunk.com How is design changing? I see people moving toward spaces with more depth, interest, architectural integrity and gravitas. People are ready to express themselves again. I’m intrigued by a move toward darker, moodier interiors that are richer in details and rooted in tradition. I’m loving Victorian elements that have a tinge of steampunk, without so many gears. For the art-focused: My aunt purchased my first Montclair Art Museum membership when we first moved to Montclair—a great gift. It’s a well-loved
gallery that has tons of local support. And Mana Contemporary in Jersey City is filled with energy and rawness. It’s an amazing place for inspiration. Design philosophy: I always seek out the soul, grit and authenticity in each project. If you look closely at the details, those elements are always there. Truth makes every home unique and every piece of furniture different and interesting; authenticity is first and foremost to me in design and one of the biggest tenets of my firm.

For nearly 90 years, the Museum of Modern Art has brought contemporary art, fashion, technology and film, among other creative works, to the public. But its latest exhibition is for design lovers. “How Should We Live? Propositions for the Modern Interior” examines the decisions, partnerships, materials and developments that have helped shape current living spaces. On display are designs from the 1920s to the ’50s—from retail stores and private homes to exhibition displays—focusing on how the pieces within every arrangement play into each other and their connection to the external world. Elements like furnishings, wallpapers, kitchens and promotional displays are examined, and viewers also receive an inside look at several infamous designs—think Grete Lihotzky’s Frankfurt kitchen from the ’20s and Charlotte Perriand’s ’59 study bedroom from the Maison du Brésil. moma.org

DATE BOOK Brooklyn-based artist Matt Austin has built a career as a designer and decorative painter, outfitting the spaces—and most commonly the walls— of creatives all around the world. He also works with wood, creating handmade children’s toys and ornamental objects, and fashions one-of-akind fine art pieces and lighting fixtures. In short, he does it all. If you’re looking for a weekend itinerary that’s out of the ordinary, he’s your guy. Below, Austin shares his favorite haunts and what a Saturday in his world looks like. mattaustinstudio.com 9 a.m. Start the day with a good breakfast and a strong cup of coffee at Café Ghia, a great neighborhood spot in the heart of Bushwick. I tend to order the Lumberjack Stack: scrambled eggs and bacon between waffles. 10:30 a.m. Visit David&Schweitzer Contemporary in Brooklyn to view the works of Heather Morgan, a modern figurative painter who is largely influenced by German expressionism. 12 p.m. Dash off to Kremer Pigments Inc., a hidden gem in Manhattan for anyone who likes colorful paint. I shop here for glorious pigments for my mural projects, and I often buy a jar to give to clients as a gift to place on a shelf; lapis lazuli is my current favorite. 1 p.m. Get cozy at a table at La Bonbonniere, a diner with all the essential old-school Greenwich
Village charm. Order the BLT; it’s one of the best in the city. 2 p.m. Walk the High Line and stroll to the Whitney Museum of American Art. On display now are 1980s paintings and the “Whitney Biennial,” a collection of works from 63 contemporary artists. 4 p.m. Go to the West Village and stop into Maison Margiela for something chic to wear. This French fashion house has the best and most interesting accessories and clothing, and it always keeps me looking ahead of the game. 5:30 p.m. Take a ride on the new Second Avenue Subway, and check out the giant Chuck Close mosaic murals at the station. His works are beautiful colorful portraits.

Sources of inspiration: Usually from an image I find or a photo I’ve taken. Over the last few years, my process is generally sparked by a person or people around me and something about them I want to capture. Art school confidential: I grew up in a creative household, so after receiving my degree in history, I returned to art school because it felt natural and right. Role models: Ellsworth Kelly, John Baldessari, Tom Wesselmann, William Eggleston and Annelies Strba. Life motto: Don’t 4 panic. My art is… Vivid, figurative, simple, seductive and graphic.

KATE LONG STEVENSON: IN HER WORDS

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

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

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

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

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

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

Assembled with layers of imbricated solid-wood plates and shown here in both the Grey Sienna and Espresso finishes, the Spruce occasional tables remind us that bucolicinspired designs are indeed evergreen.

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

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

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

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

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

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

HUBBARDTON FORGE OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK
Lighting designer and manufacturer Hubbardton Forge has helped extend interior residential spaces seamlessly to the outdoors with its equally aesthetic and functional light fixtures. “Today, we think about the ‘home’ differently. It doesn’t end at the back door,” says David Kitts, design director at Hubbardton Forge. “People want to live fully, both indoors and out. We have given a lot of thought, during the creative process, to materials and finishes that stand the test of time and weather.” This vigorous approach distinguishes the company, which has, despite its success, maintained its handcrafted, domestically made values. Founded (and still based) in Vermont, Hubbardton Forge makes sure that, as Kitts notes, “Any piece leaving the forge is touched by multiple hands throughout the process of its creation. When you look at a Hubbardton Forge lighting fixture, you’re seeing the artistic achievements of a team dedicated to design.”

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

Incorporating the creativity of Butera with the handcrafted luxury of CASTELLE, the collection showcases glamorous, yet inviting furnishings for designers and design-conscious buyers. “Creating this spectacular collection has been a fantastic experience. When I first approached the design process, I was inspired by this magnificent geometric ceiling carving I saw in an English manor,” Butera says. “And I’ve incorporated this pattern into carpets, wallpapers and now the fretwork for outdoor furniture; I think it translates beautifully!”

A ROOM WITH A HUE RICH PALETTES AND DRAMATIC CONTRASTS BRING ENERGY, PERSONALITY AND MAJOR STYLE TO THE HOME’S MOST-FREQUENTED ROOMS. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY MICHELLE BRUNNER
While it’s safe to say we are still living in the era of the all-white kitchen and bath, there’s no denying even the smallest flourish of color can cast an irresistible spell. After all, 90 percent of what we take in via our senses comes to us through the gift of sight, and there’s little that commands our vision more than bright, beautiful color. No wonder a palette change has the power to reinvigorate a tired cook space or bring spa-like serenity to a bath. A color refresh offers a fearless antidote to what are often neutral utilitarian spaces, and who knows that better than designers? For some it’s a minor dalliance—the oft-quoted “pop of color” comes to mind—while for others, it’s a full-blown affair with a particular shade, as in this stunning forest green kitchen. Whatever your style, join us as we make the case for painting with bold strokes. 210 / LUXESOURCE.COM

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Harking back to the tradition of regal tapestries, a hand-painted reproduction of antique Chinese wallpaper from Gracie Studio boasts breathtaking landscapes in this Upper West Side bedroom designed by Thomas Jayne. 1 / Playing Favorites: Consider more daring designs for the private refuge of the master bedroom—a perfect space to experiment with more personal interests. Though esoteric, this archival print feels right at home in the haven of an avid collector. 2 / Even Keel: Don’t hide your statement walls with towering accents; instead, create a clear sight line throughout with low-slung furnishings. The simple lines of this custom headboard are demure enough to preserve the wallpaper’s visual drama. 3 / Crown Jewels: Pattern shouldn’t preclude you from displaying artwork like this heirloom portrait; just be sure to play with scale. The small yet opulent frame creates a clear divide between both illustrations. 4 / Living Art: Add dimension to your wallpaper by extending the print’s palette throughout for a harmonized space. Every surface of this plush bedroom mirrors the wallcovering’s pastel hues—from the bed linens to the soft blue carpeting.

The fresh textiles of the silk-and-mohair area rug and St. Germain chairs provide the ideal canvas. 3 / Garden Variety: Continue the idyllic charm of your provincial wallcovering with other botanical decor accents, like this sprawling tray of blossoms serving as the dining table centerpiece. 4 / Gilded Age: Deflate the flowery abundance of the wall a little with some moments of unadulterated glamour. This decadent crystal chandelier and twin Alabaster disc lamps by Baker certainly deliver on the gloss.

Cork wallcovering from Phase Design gets a triumphant revamp in this Southampton family room designed by Joe Nahem, who thoughtfully pared down the warm earthiness of this iconic 1970s material for the modern space. 1 / Made to Measure: Avoid a full-on vintage flashback with more measured use of the distinctive material. Here, a simple statement wall is enough to inject unexpected texture without overwhelming the room. 2 / Period Piece: Pair your retro wallcovering with some other flourishes that recall your wallpaper’s design decade. A selection of antiques from the ’70s, including twin Italian lamps, a Brazilian rosewood coffee table and wall art by Ronald Davis, displays the sculptural range of this singular era. 3 / Hot Rod: Punctuate your cork wall with bolts of saturated color like bright orange; a classic hue of the ’70s, this distinctive shade feels thoroughly current on a floating sofa. 4 / Double Take: Your wallcovering’s design need not be limited to the walls—feel free to explore other interpretations throughout your space. For instance, the softer cork covering the sofa and armchairs, also from Phase Design, shows another facet of the material.

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

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

RENOVATION Renovation means transformation. Whether changing the foundation or improving your home’s flow, increasing the function of a kitchen and bath, or upgrading windows for energy savings, communication is key to any project’s success. While aesthetics plays a starring role when it comes to reasons to renovate, increasing the value and character of one’s home have found an even greater level of importance. Giving rise to the world of renovations is the great outdoors, where decks, rooftops, hardscapes and more have found a new home, so to speak. When taking on any project, industry pros remain committed to incorporating “green” alternatives—creating a healthier world and home, inside and out.

As homeowners look to refresh their Hamptons homes, the primary objectives tend to center on clean lines, simplistic living and functionality. Farrell Building Company, a custom home builder and remodeler based in Bridgehampton, is behind many of the region’s residential renovations, giving way to reimagined open, airy floor plans, expanded outdoor entertaining spaces and simplified color palettes. President and founder of the firm Joe Farrell notes that maximizing space in a Hamptons home is key, and refinishing basements, adding a pool house and refining kitchen and bath designs are the most advisable improvements. “We often create new, sleek outdoor living spaces inclusive of outdoor kitchens, unique dining areas or outdoor living rooms. The most popular request is to update the kitchen or bath, eliminating old, heavier finishes for bright whites, neutral grays and the inlay of metal and glass features,” he says.
“The kitchen is the life of the house. If this space is not current and functional, it changes the warmth of the house as well as the overall value.”

Hamilton Sinkler, a purveyor and manufacturer of fine architectural hardware, infuses creativity and meticulousness into all of its products, subtly—yet effectively—elevating interior spaces with its door hardware, cabinet hardware, vents and registers and bath accessories. Based in New York City, the company uses modern milling technology and exacting manufacturing processes to produce cleaner cuts and details of exceptional precision. These details also include hand-hammering, distressing, beading and knurling techniques. The final finish selections, including hand-burnished, patina, electroplating, natural and semiprecious finishes, are seemingly endless, ensuring a tailor-made look for each unique environment.
“There is an overwhelming preference for a simpler, functional and more modern aesthetic.”
ASK HAMILTON SINKLER Are there any new products or techniques in your field? Creating prototype models in a 3-D printer and having those models cast or machined using more traditional methods. Hamilton Sinkler also uses laser scanning of original sculptured art objects and brings those files into its engineering software. The form and function are then changed to adapt to hardware. Can updating door hardware make an impact on a home’s interior? In terms of the overall project, hardware is a relatively minor change, but it does have a major impact on the look and feel of a door, not to mention, a way to pull stylistic details together.

HERITAGE WIDE PLANK FLOORING Riverhead | New York | 800.378.3650 | hwpf.com
For acclaimed wood floor purveyor Heritage Wide Plank Flooring, today’s residential renovations are fresh, sleek and up to date. The Riverhead-based company, specializing in pine, hardwood and reclaimed wood flooring, is well versed in remodeling residences and understanding what contemporary homeowners are looking for as they embark on a new aesthetic. “Customers want outside-the-box solutions: they do not want to look like everyone else. They want a wow factor,” says Catherine Lanieri, a flooring specialist at Heritage Wide Plank Flooring. “We are seeing a lot of gray and white—neutral color palettes. We also get requests for unique exotic woods that look interesting and different.” Size, scale and existing materials are important elements to consider when updating flooring, Lanieri notes, as the new flooring should transition smoothly between rooms and not create striking contrasts. When the original flooring cannot be refurbished or “saved,” the team at Heritage Wide Plank Flooring advises that sometimes it is better to let the old floor go and replace it with something new that can become a part of the home’s heritage.
“As long as you start with a timeless, quality wood floor, you have an elegant canvas from which to work.”
WHAT’S TRENDING + Expanded living spaces, opening the kitchen to other areas of the home + Gray, white and neutral color palettes for flooring + Oak flooring with unique applications, such as a whitewashed finish or 1
“roasting” it to create a rich color + Longer floorboards, which can make a room feel larger + More informality in overall design

PAULA MCDONALD DESIGN BUILD & INTERIORS New York | New York | 212.633.0594 | pmddllc.com
Manhattan designer and builder Paula McDonald is adept at the urban renovation. From grand lobbies to master bath retreats to kitchen upgrades and expansions, Paula McDonald is no stranger to inventive spatial configurations and interior enhancements. The highly regarded designer’s strong track record of successful projects derives from a clear-cut business philosophy based on accountability, follow-through and transparency. “When approaching a renovation project, you must establish the client’s must-haves, budget expectations and design direction,” she explains. “My biggest rules are: See the project through the client’s point of view and manage expectations with financial accountability and tracking in getting final approvals. Transparency establishes trust from inception through final completion and enables making a difficult process seamless.” When structural interior changes are not yet an option, Paula McDonald offers a breadth of advice for subtle yet substantial improvements. “The easiest fix is cosmetic: painting, refinishing floors, changing light fixtures and replacing countertops and kitchen cabinet hardware are the best ways to improve a home,” she says. “Other great small changes are new base moldings, creating accent walls in the kitchen or living room, wallpapering ceilings and using textural paint on the ceiling of a foyer.”
“Collaboration is the key. Define your must-haves, manage your budget expectations to achieve your project goals and allow enough time for planning and approvals.”
CREATIVE CONVERSIONS + Smaller spaces are opening rooms to incorporate a broader entertainment area, removing walls between the kitchen and dining room. + An island or peninsula can provide a connection to the rooms and integrate the
2
functionality. + Converting bathrooms with tubs to showers is common when there are two bathrooms, and even a single bathroom. + Reconfiguring hallway and closet spaces helps expand the bathroom footprints.

DIGITIZING INTERIORS “Sustainable materials, technologies for the smart home and integration of personal experience/devices—from remote direction and access to programming them from our online devices, glass technology, lighting design and technologies—all enable a new approach to design and construction,” Paula McDonald says. “I only wish that it was easier to apply and install more of the new products, technologies and materials in retrofitting older buildings in Manhattan!”

RIOBEL
Saint-Jérôme | Québec | 866.473.8442 | riobel.ca From kitchens to bathrooms to showers, faucets are prominent in both use and display. Riobel, which designs and assembles premium faucets, gives homeowners the opportunity to achieve performance and beauty with products that are cutting-edge and contemporary in design. With a rapidly growing presence in the residential market, Riobel has become a kitchen and bath mainstay. The professionals at Riobel advise those undergoing a renovation to consider the following components when updating faucets throughout a home, ensuring a seamless fit for the user and surroundings. For the kitchen faucet, think about the height of the current faucet, as well as the new faucet desired, and whether it should pull down or pull out. If you are considering a hand spray, would you prefer one or two jets—and is a silent hose important to you? To successfully choose a lavatory faucet, ask yourself, what type? An 8-inch, single-hole or a wall-mounted faucet? What about the projection of the jet? Do you need lever, single-hole or cross handles? Is there a warranty, and aesthetically, what type of finish do you want? For a shower system, there are numerous options from which to choose, such as a rain shower, tub spout, hand shower and body jets. How about a shower for two? Two different temperatures at the same time is an option. Above all, quality and durability must be invariable—two characteristics synonymous with Riobel.
“The faucet is often the jewel of a project.”

TRUEFORM CONCRETE Wharton | New Jersey | 888.474.7977 | trueformconcrete.com
Creativity and concrete have proven to be synonymous, thanks to design-minded, environmentally conscious companies like Trueform Concrete of Wharton, New Jersey. The concrete manufacturer and purveyor has introduced a fresh perspective on interior uses of concrete, including countertops, kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tables and fireplace surrounds, to name a few. This highly utilitarian material has become a new staple in residential and commercial construction, giving way to function and form. Trueform Concrete handles a large volume of kitchen and bathroom renovations, where their concrete countertops, sinks and vanities are commissioned. They have observed an increasing number of requests for kitchen countertop projects to include waterfall legs on the island, which can create a seamless look from the countertop down to the floor. “This creates an eye-catching, dramatic statement in the most popular room in the home,” they share.
WHAT’S TRENDING Classic colors. White and gray color palettes are, and have always been, a safe and timetested choice for countertops, painted cabinets and wall colors. New heights. Fourinch-high backsplashes in a kitchen are not in high demand, as most designers now specify full-height backsplash that goes to the bottom of the cabinets. Eco-friendly. People are gravitating toward handmade products created with locally sourced, natural materials that are made with environmentally responsible manufacturing processes. Trueform’s products meet and exceed these specifications.

“The biggest achievement of any landscape renovation is transforming old into new,” advises awardwinning landscape designer Frederico Azevedo. An important rule, he asserts, is to keep as much of the existing plant materials while adding a new design that brings simplicity and grace to the landscape. The president and founder of the esteemed, Bridgehampton-based landscape design firm Unlimited Earth Care, Azevedo infuses the established gardens of a property with fresh, new (and environmentally conscious) designs. Under the auspices of Azevedo, overgrown or outdated landscapes are contemporized and revitalized through designs that accentuate views and are properly proportioned. “Trends will fade, only style remains the same,” he says. “When designing or renovating a landscape, I have to be loyal to a style, as suggested by the architectural characteristics of a building, in addition to the environment where the landscape will be installed.” 1

At one of end of the home’s great room, custom sofas by designer Lynn Morgan gather around a limestone fireplace fabricated by Connecticut Stone. Pillows covered in orange Holland & Sherry fabric complement the foliage outdoors, while the rug from JD Staron unifies the room. Custom millwork by architects Louise Brooks and Vincent Falotico shines beneath white-oak ceiling beams.
A
Belgian farmhouse is not a common sight in New England, but that’s exactly what a couple were going for when they hired architects Louise Brooks and Vincent Falotico to design their new residence. The wife is from an artistic family in Northern California, says Falotico, so “she brings a different sensibility” than what is often found in New Canaan. So what does that taste translate to architecturally? A fieldstone-and-stucco exterior with steep roof pitches, a slate roof and a steel-and-glass stair tower that extends from the main structure. The architects had a challenge to begin with: situating the residence to best fit the modest piece of land. “We packed a lot of house onto a tight site,” Falotico says, noting the building twists from the front door to take advantage of the southern-facing sun and views of the woods and a stream along the lot. As a result, the 11-foot-high living spaces—with wide arched door openings and metal-frame windows—offer generous views of nature as well as the pool and terrace. “The benefit of steel windows is a smaller frame and more glass,” Falotico says. Consequently, plenty of light filters into the home while considerable views beckon looking out. With the views being such a focal point of the home— the first, second and third floors all have terraces that look onto the pool and garden—the outdoor design needed to be carefully considered. While wild plantings grow by the stream and fluctuate with the seasons, residential designer Tim Paterson arranged orderly boxwoods, hydrangeas and cherry trees close to the home. “Symmetry and formality bring a sense of entrance to the house, which is very important,” he says.

The custom cabinetry and millwork for the kitchen and bar, designed by Brooks and Falotico and manufactured by D&D Woodworks, is situated within a central hall of plaster arches. The bar’s countertop is an earthy-toned Belgian Bluestone.
In portraying a European feel, designer Lynn Morgan kept the palette quiet, except for occasional pops of orange. “It’s one color scheme—all creams—but different textures,” she says. “It’s all about the materials that went into it.” In the living area, for example, two custom rectilinear sofas are upholstered in a durable sand-colored fabric, complementing the space’s wool-blend rug, pale oak flooring, limestone fireplace surround, standing lamps with cream shades and textured artworks in shades of white and beige. The room’s dark wicker chairs sporting cream cushions mimic the nearby dining area’s cream leather armchairs with dark-stained legs; the fireplaces

in both areas also mirror each other, bringing symmetry and organization to the monochromatic open plan. Throughout the house, the clients’ desired old-world feel is carried via Venetian plaster walls. “It gives the place a lot of depth, because there are layers of plaster built up by hand,” says builder Ian Hobbs. “The residents liked to see the handwork; it’s one-of-a-kind.” An unusual feature of the plaster is its use as a “termination point” at arched doors and other openings, meaning there is no interruption because of casing, Hobbs says. “It’s a more traditional European look,” he explains, pointing out it creates clean lines.

The second-floor master bedroom is one of the quietest rooms in the house, but the beamed cathedral ceiling, which follows the steep roof pitches, brings dramatic flair, as does the globe chandelier from O’Lampia. The chairs, side table and ottoman are custom pieces by Morgan, and the table lamp is by Circa Lighting. Window treatments are by Robert Allen, while the white-oak beams are from Southend Reclaimed Vintage Wood & Brick in North Carolina.
Falotico adds, is in the baseboards and the antiqued reclaimed ceiling beams. The latter are extra long and extra weathered, adding drama and bringing out the beauty of the wood. “Every ceiling has some interest to it,” the architect says. “Most of the second-floor bedrooms have cathedral ceilings.” Such is the case in the master bedroom, where Morgan dressed the windows with pale blue and crisp white linen. In fact, the only windows in the house with coverings are in the upstairs bedrooms. The home is so elegant that one could be tricked into thinking there is nowhere for children and pets, but that isn’t the case: The team took care to design a house meant for entertaining and accommodating plenty of family, including the clients’ three children and three dogs. “The kids can sit anywhere,” Morgan says. “The living room rug, for instance, looks like camouflage—you could drop chocolate on it and not worry.” This kind of casual living is particularly encouraged on the ground floor, where the living room and adjacent kitchen open onto the pool terrace. Decked in Belgian Bluestone countertops, the kitchen also has a giant window that unfolds to access the terrace, where three stools are perched at a modest bar. “The kids can eat there in their wet bathing suits, or the wife can serve ice cream,” Morgan says. Not surprisingly, this house is a magnet in the neighborhood, and the family loves to entertain. The children can often be found sitting at the breakfast nook in the kitchen, doing homework at the built-in banquette while dinner is being made, or under the retractable awning over the hot tub and outdoor dining area, where a fireplace warms in cool weather. “What’s not to love?” Morgan asks. “They’re living the life here. It’s really fun.”

IN TRIBECA, A DESIGN TEAM ADDS A FLAIR OF SOPHISTICATION TO A FAMILY APARTMENT. WRITTEN BY JORGE S. ARANGO PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOHN M HALL

O
n the surface, says architect Stephan Jaklitsch, the renovation request for this Tribeca apartment he designed was straightforward. “The previous owner had combined two units, but it had an extremely awkward flow,” he says. “The new homeowners wanted to separate the children’s wing from the master suite and make the passage from the front door to the main living spaces as graceful as possible.” But the underlying concept of those ideas counters the child-focused perspective of many family homes, where most spaces and furnishings cater to a child’s abilities and reach. That wasn’t the desire for these homeowners, however, a real estate investor and developer and his wife who had two toddlers (3 and 5 years old) and a baby on the way. “We wanted the entire apartment to be a balance between high-level aesthetics and practicality,” the husband says. “It was important that it be sophisticated.” The apartment building had formerly been two separate structures, and though this unit did not straddle them, its various renovations over time had resulted in “different materials doing different things,” says builder JT Thomas. “In one portion, there were immovable reinforced steel beams, while other parts still had woodbeam construction. Some areas had concrete pads we didn’t want to take out. Other areas had the original factory floor, with two levels of other flooring on top.” As a result, evening the flooring required different approaches. For instance, in the master suite, Thomas says, “we were able to gain 5 inches by going down to the original factory floor and wood-joist system.” In the nearby master bathroom, custom Bardiglio

marble vanities designed by Jaklitsch and his team— designers Julia Blanchard and Lauren Larson, architectural project supervisor Marina Renjifo and architect Gerrell Wilson—appear massive and monolithic, but they are actually made of stone veneer, weighing less than expected and eliminating the need for extra reinforcement in the floors. Architecturally, Jaklitsch says, the “boldest move” in the second-floor apartment was to uniformly treat the windows in the loft-like main space, which houses the kitchen, living room and dining room. Here, the clients and designers wanted to update the frames, which lacked architectural character, and engage the outside cityscape, “but there is a careful balance between being too open to the street and feeling sheltered,” Jaklitsch says. So the team painted the frames charcoal gray and dressed them in Roman shades with a lively print, creating a comfortable barrier between inside and outside. Anchoring this space is the kitchen, where the team replaced multicolored mosaic backsplashes with more sophisticated marble tile and injected three tones of gray: dark on the island, light on the upper cabinetry and almost black on the ceiling. This space was important to the couple, who love to entertain; the wife is a former chef and event planner, while the husband was “very specific about details such as the counter space and height, prep areas and the size of the oven,” the wife says. A partyhosting convenience, the kitchen opens to the living room and the dining room, where chairs are covered in a mottled fabric that will hide stains from younger diners, Jaklitsch says. Likewise, the team outfitted the children’s wing, where the kids spend most of their indoor time, with a more economical design and furniture pieces that are easily replaceable. Jaklitsch emphasizes, though, that kid-friendliness in the project “was not an overriding concern.” The main living spaces exude an uncluttered urban-chic sense, a personalized look Jaklitsch drew upon from his past experiences designing the husband’s bachelor pad and then the couple’s first apartment. The result is a sophisticated assemblage of the couple’s existing furnishings with new finds. This can be seen in the living room, which includes pieces like a vintage sofa, contemporary lounge chairs, a reissued midcentury daybed and custom commissions, like the rug and a black Hex pedestal supporting a Manolo Valdés bust. In the end, the team’s work satisfied the young family’s grown-up sensibility. “The layout addresses all the various uses: a family apartment with entertaining space, privacy for us parents and children’s bedrooms clustered together, with foyers and thick doorways so the kids can make noise and not bother anyone,” says the husband. “We can all find our own breathing room when we need it.”

livier Giugni doesn’t easily back away from a good design challenge. “I work very well with deadlines, and I can handle pressure,” says Giugni, the founder of New York-based L’Olivier Floral Atelier. “I’m also energetic and creative, and I like to stay positive.” It’s those characteristics that have helped the floral designer become a top name in a competitive field. Growing up in Brignoles, France, between Saint-Tropez and Aix-en-Provence, Giugni once thought of becoming an architect or a fashion designer. But a career in floral design seemed nearly inevitable. “I was always outside, and all of my family members had a garden,” he recalls. “My grandmother had a huge terrace in France, and I loved to help water the plants and see the roots coming in. I love flowers and nature, and it wasn’t even a question for what I wanted to do. It was just in me.” So ingrained was his passion that Giugni taught himself the discipline, launching a stellar career of self-made success.

For six years, Giugni served as design director of fashion icon Pierre Cardin’s Les Fleurs de Maxim’s in Paris. He moved to New York in 1986 to open an outpost of the brand, then set out on his own nine years later. Today, Giugni operates three New York City locations of his floral studio. His avant-garde sculptural arrangements and signature leaf-wrapped vases—an original design he pioneered—have delighted a long list of discreet celebrity clients, including Michelle Obama, and graced restaurants such as Daniel and the lobbies of legendary hotels that include Loews Regency New York, The Plaza Hotel and The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel. “My style is very modern and clean,” Giugni says. “My designs are very sensual and sexy; they remind me of the south of France.” When Giugni isn’t designing arrangements and centerpieces for weddings and events, he enjoys cooking the classic Provençal dish ratatouille from scratch, visiting local museums (even Vincent van Gogh, he muses, captured the beauty of the flower when he was in Saint-Rémy de Provence) and frequenting farmers markets: “I buy vegetables because I like the way they look,” he says. In
2010, the self-taught designer penned Living Art: Style Your Home with Flowers, a stunning tome showcasing his varied portfolio and styling advice. Like most creatives, the Harlem resident jets around the world for inspiration, which he finds in places like Morocco, Cuba, California “and the beautiful city of Paris,” he says. “I like anywhere that has beautiful architecture.” His latest venture is an eco-friendly line of floral-inspired candles free of additives and preservatives. Crafted in France by master perfumer Christophe Laudamiel, the threescent collection consists of Cuir Vegetal, derived from poplar buds from France; Vert de Vert, which uses the aroma of foliage rather than flora; and Mai Flower, based on the traditional French custom of gifting lily of the valley for good luck. While he admits his favorite flower is the black tall bearded iris, Giugni insists he loves all kinds, from carnations to peonies. It’s simply part of a 35-year passion and talent that will never wane. “Flowers make people happy,” Giugni says. “When we speak of flowers, people almost always have a smile on their face. And that makes me excited.” In his book, Living Art (above), Giugni showcases how art, furniture and design preferences guide his unique arrangements and instructs readers on how they can create their own spectacular floral designs.

his time, it had to be extra special,” designer Amy Lau says. Not that the three previous residences she had decorated for two of her dearest clients weren’t memorable, but this particular New York apartment, with wraparound terraces that enjoy broad views of Gracie Mansion and the East River, would probably be these homeowners’ last big project with Lau, since they planned to stay here for good. “She’s a design junkie—she’s got the best eye ever,” Lau says of the wife. “So if this was going to be our final collaboration, I said, ‘Let’s take it to the next level.’ ” The opportunity presented itself when the second apartment on the Scheidts’ floor became available, and they snapped it up to transform it into their main living area, with the existing apartment reserved for guests and the husband’s office and piano studio. The new place
hadn’t been touched in at least 30 years, the wife says, “so every single wall in the apartment came down.” While architect Robert Luntz worked on a new open-plan layout, the wife gathered inspiration from her vast collection of European design magazines—though after 16 years of friendship, she says, “Before I open my mouth, Amy knows what I’m looking for.” Indeed, Lau knew where to go once the wife brought out a painting she had purchased but never hung: a midcentury abstract full of blue and turquoise hues. “I fell in love with the colors in this painting,” Lau recalls, “and I felt as though the entire design direction should be built around this artwork.” Though blue had never figured in the owners’ other homes—their country home, paradoxically, is ablaze in orange and red hues—the wife embraced the cooler palette because she felt it would reflect the colors of the LUXESOURCE.COM / 293

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

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

LILLIAN AUGUST FURNISHINGS + DESIGN
Dan and John Weiss find it rewarding to see a room come together beautifully. The two brothers, Dan is president and CEO, and John is COO, represent Lillian August Furnishings + Design, an iconic furniture boutique and design studio. The family business was launched by their mother, Lillian August, who started in textiles and wallcoverings more than 25 years ago and still designs the signature furniture, fabrics and accessories. Today, the empire has expanded to encompass four unique subsidiaries—interior design projects, to-the-trade support, retail stores and an online shop and Lillian August licensed collections. The company’s interior design projects division offers personalized service and expertise and is made possible by the more than 30 talented in-house interior designers. “Our design project clients range from celebrities and financial leaders with large-scale design projects to the walk-in client who just needs help choosing a few items to finish a room,” John Weiss says. In addition to its project clientele, Lillian August is a valued resource for interior design professionals. A full-time team of trade associates offers to-the-trade member business support as well as exclusive pricing and loyalty rewards. The Lillian August licensed collections, including a furniture line for Hickory White, are overseen by Lillian herself. The company’s success—an amalgam of Lillian’s eye and her sons Dan and John Weiss’s entrepreneurial spirit—is built on the idea that the creative process starts with knowing where their customers find inspiration. Not surprisingly, their mantra, “love how you live,” keeps driving the business forward.

With four distinct product divisions—furniture, lighting, bathroom and leather—Nella Vetrina showcases the best in luxury Italian design. As the brand’s creative director, Steven Brister travels throughout Italy, working with artisans to create exclusive collections with a sophisticated flair. After spending the better part of a decade working toward—and ultimately landing—a dream job in marketing, Brister moved from Australia to New York and founded Nella Vetrina with a “brand meets design” philosophy in mind. “For me, the creative process starts with developing the overall brand vision,” Brister explains. “From there, all the details flow into a new furniture or lighting collection.” Along with the opening of its new 3,000-square-foot flagship showroom in the D&D Building this spring/summer, Nella Vetrina will launch striking new designs across its four core categories. As for his favorite part of the job, Brister points to the privilege of pursuing passions. “As creative director, I have the opportunity to travel throughout Italy and collaborate with artisans who all possess unique and inspiring skills, handed down from generation to generation,” Brister says. “To be able to combine my love for design and travel is truly rewarding.”

SUDDELL ARCHITECTS & BUILDERS
“From the age of 14, I wanted to be an architect,” admits George Hitchcock Suddell, founder of his eponymous firm, Suddell Architects & Builders. “My mother was an artist and my father was a businessman. I wanted to do both: be creative and be a businessman. I saw architecture as the solution.” This innate ability to meld two professions transcended into his own firm, where he masterfully executes a fluid balance between architect and builder. “The essence of my firm started in 1982. It always seemed natural to me that the architect and builder were one in the same,” Suddell explains. “The philosophy of my firm is to bridge over the constant conflicts that people hear between architects and builders. We offer a seamless approach from design through construction.” When it comes to his creative process, Suddell relies heavily on an instinctive approach to analyzing space. “I can creatively think on my feet when I meet a client,” Suddell says. “I immediately see space and design solutions, and I share my ideas and study the reaction of the client. This will steer me in the proper direction. The design process starts with this interaction and allows me to know that the design will be successful.” The design-build firm has amassed an extraordinary portfolio of breathtaking luxury residences as well as stunning commercial projects, comprising a range of styles. Suddell credits high-level professionalism and one-stop service for the firm’s renowned success. “Clients have sought us out with the knowledge that we are of high quality and professionalism,” he says. “It is the design-build process that interests them. They know there are fewer problems with turnkey solutions.”

What steps can clients take to make their experiences more personally rewarding?

The construction process can be intimidating when not dealing with a design-build firm. What are your favorite styles to work on and why? I feel good designers can design any style, no cookie-cutters here! All styles from contemporary to traditional and classical have their own beauty. It is the responsibility of a good architect to capture all of their attributes.

SCHWARTZ DESIGN SHOWROOM
When Morris Schwartz opened his eponymous showroom more than 70 years ago, no one could have predicted that the New Jersey-based business would eventually transcend three generations, expand to two locations and garner a reputation as one of the most comprehensive trade-only furnishings showrooms in the Tri-State Area. Fast forward to 2017 and that succinctly describes Schwartz Design Showroom, a destination known for collaborating with some of the most coveted vendors in the design industry to offer a dynamic selection of fine furniture, lighting, decorative accessories and rugs. Under the stewardship of third-generation CEO and owner Alexis Varbero, who left a high-profile career with Bobbi Brown cosmetics to return to the family business, the brand recently expanded its reach with the opening of its Connecticut showroom. In addition to quality furnishings, Varbero also credits customer service as a cornerstone of the brand’s success. This is partially attributed to a knowledgeable, friendly staff and a personalized approach to each project, which includes assisting with all details from start to finish, including research, ordering and follow-up. But it’s also the result of an unrelenting passion for helping designers achieve their goals. “Customer service is our highest priority. We only work with interior designers; we strive to service them as they service their clients,” explains Varbero. “I love nothing more than partnering with a designer and watching as the process unfolds.”

What projects have brought you the most satisfaction and why? The most rewarding projects are the result of faithful and communicative clients who grant me artistic freedom. This allows me to elevate the design to a level they never imagined. What led you to your current profession? My desire to create has been powerful since childhood, which I spent experiencing incredible homes from Paris to Geneva.

Ask the Expert Andrea Zemel Principal
What would be your dream creative project? As a part-time resident of a rural self-sufficient community with an appreciation for sustainable permaculture, I would love to create an interior urban space replete with a functional rooftop organic garden or arboretum.

ILIAD DESIGN
When a project requires a uniquely modern, high-end and period-inspired look, distinguished clients flock to ILIAD, the meticulously fashioned, bespoke design studio in the heart of Manhattan’s Flatiron design district. Principal Andrea Zemel describes ILIAD’s ascension to industry leader and prestigious design resource: “We started out as uptown purveyors of Austro-Hungarian Biedermeier, Art Deco and Art Moderne furniture. With our atelier in Prague, Czech Republic, we distinguished ourselves early on by setting the ‘aesthetic bar’ for restorative craft in our showroom presentation. From then on it was vive la différence—our look became known industry wide as ILIAD’s signature style.” With Zemel—who holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from University of Pennsylvania—at the helm of a team of seasoned artists and craftsmen, the retail showroom evolved into a boutique design studio before continuing on to become a comprehensive interior design firm, incorporating all aspects of construction management. The artisanal ethos upon which ILIAD was founded continues in its approach to design, and for Zemel, who envisions the brand’s defining edge as “where classicism meets modernism,” the well-designed home is a well-curated venue. “We like to think of ourselves as carrying the torch of ‘literati-chic’—we are mindful of the role that history plays in art, and look to invigorate the idioms of contemporary design to inspire a new sensibility. As an artist, there comes an intuitive understanding that creating interior space is a lot like the unfolding of a narrative. Working closely with the client, we find the tale that wants to be told, and endeavor to bring a sense of adventure to the process.”

How do you define luxury? Luxury is like the truth—completely relative. One can only attempt to flesh out its spirit. How would you describe your clientele? They are accomplished professionals with a cosmopolitan lifestyle and sensibility. They are often looking to reflect the sense of a bigger picture in life, and they expect a level of personal intimacy to be projected through the home.

Ask the Expert Stephanie Barbatelli, Vice President Frederic Barbatelli, President
What is inspiring you now? A fresh approach to sophisticated luxury away from the starkly minimal designs we've had for the last few years. We love the new emphasis on organic and nature-inspired motifs that are appearing in design.
484 Park Avenue New York, New York 212.838.0650 newyork@ebraunnewyork.com ebraunnewyork.com
E. BRAUN & CO. NEW YORK
What started off as a small, New York City-based, trade luxury linen store quickly evolved into E. Braun & Co. New York, a renowned linen purveyor serving private clients and the interior design community across the country. This explosive growth was due largely to the powerhouse leadership of company president Frederic Barbatelli and vice president Stephanie Barbatelli, whose combined tenacity for identifying and finding solutions for missing elements in the design industry helped establish the store as a sought-after destination for truly distinct designs. “We felt we had a unique opportunity to develop a fine linen business with a distinctly American sensibility,” Frederic says. “Our competitors and suppliers in Italy at that time didn't really accommodate our sizes and our specific design aesthetic, so we developed products exclusively for our store to fit those needs.” However, the selection offered at E. Braun & Co. is not limited to strictly American influences. “Our clients are always looking for fresh interpretations on classic luxury linens,” Stephanie adds. “We travel frequently to Europe to stay abreast of trends in interior design and architecture.” A vast and diverse selection of linens and fabrics may set it apart from the competition, but it is the quality and extraordinary customer service that keeps clients coming back to E. Braun & Co. And for Frederic and Stephanie, the combination of customer service and creativity is what makes it all worthwhile. “We find design inspiration in everything from an intricate wrought-iron gate to painted ceiling frescoes,” they say. “The interaction with our clients and the ability to be so creative are what make this such a personal and fulfilling experience.”

NY28_Profiles_EBraun_0109.indd 1
How would you describe your clientele? Our client is someone who is interested in quality first, whether they choose simple hemstitched sheets in the finest fabrics or something more embellished with custom embroidery or appliqué. What would be your dream creative project? Our dream project would be multigenerational, starting with the parents and progressing to the children and then on to the grandchildren. Our dream and our goal is to develop relationships with private clients and designers that are long-lasting.

LASATA “PLACE OF PEACE” East Hampton. First offering. Designed by noted architect Arthur C. Jackson and built in 1917, Lasata, from a Native American word for “Place of Peace,” is recognized as one of the most beautiful houses in America. Situated on 7.15 acres, this compound captures the eye with its graceful lines and poetic presence. Summer home to the Bouviers throughout the 1920s, there have been only a handful of owners over the past century. Impeccably restored to the highest standards in 2007, the eight-bedroom main house enjoys total privacy. Ideally located near ocean beaches with separate two-bedroom guest house, two-bedroom pool house, and three-car garage building. Exquisite grounds with open green lawns and mature trees including London plane, linden, cork and American elm trees. This is truly a special opportunity to acquire one of the grand estates of East Hampton Village in immaculate condition. $38.995M WEB# 3794346
