EDITOR’S LETTER

Casa Luis Barragán in Mexico City, shown right and below, inspired this issue’s Spotlight feature with its contemporary aesthetic and global influence.

NO PLACE LIKE HOME There is much to debate/discuss/enthuse about architecture and design. Yet, of this I am emphatic: Good design has to be firmly rooted to a place. There are buildings and aesthetics that we couldn’t imagine anywhere else but from where they sprout. Take the graphic elegance and saturated hues of contemporary Mexican architect Luis Barragán’s residence-turned-museum in Mexico City. Would this poetic home be as wondrous in Miami, in Los Angeles? I recently visited, and think not. Barragán’s spatial strategy and brilliant play of light and shadow elicit a sense of reverence and respect appropriate to its root. His masterful residence and studio were the inspiration for our Spotlight story inside.

Pamela Jaccarino VP, Editor in Chief @pamelajaccarino

We’re literally flipping out over our special Hamptons issue and invite you to do the same. Just turn over this magazine and, voila...you’ll find it right here in the palm of your hands. Enjoy!

We lean into a host of cultural influences in this issue of Luxe, with design narratives as varied and interesting as the decorative details that are expressed at the hands of the makers. So, take a spin through our pages and ‘round-the-world reporting. Then, always, return home, for it’s the best way to measure how far you’ve come.

Variety SHOP THREE STANDOUT COMPANIES CURATE GLOBAL DESIGN FINDS. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRITTANY CHEVALIER MCINTYRE

nternational furnishings and accessories have long been synonymous with elevated living—each piece’s highly crafted form and place of origin adding a dynamic layer. And whether it makes a grand statement as a room’s centerpiece or plays a supporting role as an accent, these global finds stand out as bold characters. Luxe explores three companies offering wares by both emerging and established artisans from around the world that were previously only available to the trade. Let the hunt begin!

Cool Factor: Before the existence of its three shops and online presence, Urban Zen was founded more than 20 years ago by Donna Karan as a philanthropic endeavor and center for change. During a trip to Bali, where she sourced and manufactured her original furnishing pieces (and continues to do so), she felt a true connection to the people and their craft. Traveling around the world since and working with artisans globally, Karan’s intention is to give back in a larger sense through health care initiatives, education and cultural preservation to the places she sources from. What you’ll find: Representing more than 45 artisans

in 20 different countries, Karan’s two shops in New York (Manhattan and Sag Harbor) and one in Los Angeles offer not only furnishings, accessories and clothing designed by the fashion guru herself and made by the artisans from countries across the world, but they also function as multidisciplinary spaces for seminars, meditation classes, events and other happenings that help to promote the philanthropic arm of Karan’s initiative. Up Next: A big proponent for helping the citizens of Haiti, Karan just collaborated with Kenneth Cole on an upcoming footwear project set to launch in July. In her words: “Urban Zen is about forming communities who want to help create change that is needed in the world.”

ADORNO Cool Factor: The brainchild of Martin Clausen and Kristian Snorre Andersen, Adorno is an online platform that empowers independent designers from 16 cities worldwide by featuring their unique or limited-edition pieces that have been carefully selected by local curators. Revamping the traditional collectible design market often dominated by physical galleries, Adorno works as a digital gallery with a simple and transparent price structure that benefits both the buyer and the designer by connecting them directly. What you’ll find: Inspired by the agriculture and fishing co-operatives in their native Denmark, where individuals prosper working as a unit, the Adorno platform enables autonomous collaborations between curators and designers from urban communities such as São Paulo, Istanbul, Amsterdam, Beirut and Berlin. Up Next: Believing design should be experienced in real life, the company is in its final stages of implementing 3D technology and high-quality imagery to create the “second” best way customers can inspect and try pieces in their home. In their words: “We hope to contribute to a creative society that celebrates diversity between cultures by providing designers with better opportunities to realize their own dreams and visions as creators.”

The Cocktail light by Hanna Anonen (left) and Not only hollow Cabinet by Dirk vander Kooij are both available through Adorno.

The Invisible Collection offers limited-edition pieces, like the Nomad Stools by Charles Zana, shown flanking the wall, and Chair Conversation by Vincent Darre (right).

Cool Factor: For the first time, exclusive pieces made by a number of the most esteemed names in the business, like Pierre Yovanovitch, Thierry Lemaire and Caroline Sarkozy, are available for purchase, and in most cases, exclusively on Isabelle Dubern-Mallevays and Anna Zaoui’s site, The Invisible Collection. Prior to the launch of the website in 2016, these pieces remained hidden and inaccessible, and one would have to commission these designers for a project to snag one of their sought-after pieces. What you’ll find: Initiated as an outlet to share the pair’s passion for design with a broader clientele, their highly-curated model offers access to furnishings and objets of the utmost quality all made to order by highly skilled creators and architects from around the world such as Bismut & Bismut, Charles Zana and Atelier Vime. Up Next: The details are still hush-hush, but the chic duo, who are based between Paris, London and New York, will bring The Invisible Collection to life in the Big Apple with a new exhibit this November for a second stateside visit since their premiere at Art Basel Miami in 2018. In their words: “It is very exciting to meet with a designer and discover their work, understand their approach, and then select the best pieces for the site. We always look at the work with a curatorial eye.”

Out of AFRICA SOUTHERN GUILD BRINGS DESIGN BEYOND THE BORDERS OF THE WORLD’S SECOND LARGEST CONTINENT.

Southern Guild recently showcased a Dokter and Misses collection, which included this limitededition Rat Trap cabinet made of hand-painted steel.

When Zizipho Poswa was growing up in the small South African town of Umtata, there were no art schools or creative role models. As a child, she made paper sculptures, doll clothes and drawings, but even after leaving her home to study art at university, becoming an internationally renowned artist seemed to be an unreachable dream. But then, after forming Imiso Ceramics with Andile Dyalvane, she met Trevyn and Julian McGowan of Southern Guild, and her horizons expanded beyond Africa. The McGowans started Southern Guild, Africa’s only gallery dedicated to limited-edition and collectible design and art, in 2008 to support design created in Trevyn’s home country. “We returned to South Africa after living in London for several years, and we noticed the extraordinary work being produced without representation,” says Trevyn. “We felt we could provide the opportunity for more people to see and understand African design.” Through Southern Guild’s Cape Town gallery and international exhibitions, they have introduced the work of modern African artists (such as Poswa and Dyalvane) to collectors around the globe, and the response has been enthusiastic. “I’m exhibiting at top international shows like Salon Art + Design in New York and Design Miami,” says Poswa, who now resides in Cape Town. “I’ve sold my pieces around the world.” According to Trevyn, collectors—including a large and growing client base in the United States—are reacting to both the caliber and the soul of the work. “Fine art and design in Africa is very forward-thinking, but largely made by hand,” she says. “The hallmark of design from this continent are pieces with a strong narrative. Many of them tell very personal stories about the maker and his or her journey and most pieces possess a sense of wit and humor, but they are usually functional as well.”

Poswa’s work, which includes colorful vessels, is a case in point. “I reference my culture, growing up as young Xhosa girl in the rural Eastern Cape, and express my love for Africa as a continent,” she says. “I draw inspiration from our traditional masks, fabrics, textures, beadwork and clothing.” Some of her works translate the color and patterns of African textiles onto vases, bowls and plates. The art of sculptor Stanislaw Trzebinski, also represented by Southern Guild, is a personal commentary on the often-eroding relationship between people and nature. It’s a tale he knows well, as he currently lives in Cape Town but spent his childhood in the East African bush and on the ocean with his father, surfing and fishing. His bronze works (which range from figurative decorative arts to tables) often feature coral and other watery motifs, sometimes married to the human form. “I’m looking at the symbiotic relationship we humans have to the natural world that has been all but lost today, with the exceptions of a few indigenous cultures,” he says. “I want to entice the viewer to take a closer look at the work itself, but also at how we relate to the planet we call home.” Asking buyers to take a closer look at African design is precisely the goal of the McGowans, as well. “To look is to experience the warmth and the personality of Africa. There’s a sense of non-conformism and joy,” Trevyn says. And by looking, she says you might be creating the next Poswa or Trzebinski, explaining: “Our focus lies in emboldening industry heroes and shaping careers. We want to put future design leaders on a global platform and help them be all that they can.”

RADAR / DEBUT

Tactile elements play a starring role in Frank Ponterio’s debut collection with Arteriors. The designer conjured ink-like etchings inspired by real-life tattoos on the Flint Containers (bottom) and used handwoven rope on the Johyo Chandelier and Vendee Mirror (left). “The materials are those that people want to interact with and touch,” he says. The Salotto Cabinet (below) is the crown jewel of the collection.

La Dolce VITA

FRANK PONTERIO’S DEBUT COLLECTION WITH ARTERIORS STRIKES A SWEET SPOT BETWEEN ROUGH AND RARIFIED. WRITTEN BY HEATHER CARNEY PORTRAIT BY BERT VANDERVEEN

As a first-generation Italian American, interior designer Frank Ponterio spent a month every summer with his family exploring the beaches and small towns of Southern Italy, often fitting in a trip to the major metropolises of Venice or Rome. It was on these visits when he observed the attention to detail and sense of pride the Italians took in fabricating everyday features like a chimney or a handmade door handle. “Everything is beautiful and well thought-out. It’s a true Italian’s approach—whether in an artwork or how pavers on the city streets are laid. There is pride in the craft,” says the designer. Some decades later, the essence of those qualities are on display in Ponterio’s debut collection with Arteriors: a 28-piece compendium of mirrors, lamps and accessories that honors his Italian heritage with a modern perspective. His white-oak Salotto Cabinet, the crown jewel of the collection, was inspired by a pair of bronze doors at the Villa Necchi in Milan. The cabinet beckons

with front panels wrapped in vellum and punched with decorative cut-outs offering a glimpse of what’s inside. “We gave so much attention to that piece,” says Ponterio. Still, the collection isn’t all romance and history. The designer drew on his grittier, more urban upbringing in Chicago for many of the pieces, including the Joey Tray, inspired by a childhood acquaintance, who was “a little rough around the edges,” says Ponterio. “I was playing with thickcut hide and how to join the corners. The idea of brass studs came to me, and I thought about adding another accent—brass knuckles—to it. I sent it to the Arteriors team and said, ‘You’re going to think I’m crazy, but here’s what I want to do.’ It’s an urban nod to Chicago.” Blending approachability with luxury is a hallmark of Ponterio’s work. It’s also one of the qualities that attracted Arteriors to collaborate with the designer. “Many pieces are rooted in Frank’s love of entertaining, and in his philosophy that the home should be a welcoming and inviting place,” says Mark Moussa, founder and creative director of Arteriors. “At the same time, he is unwavering in his appreciation for materials of the finest quality.” For a designer who finds comfort in a moody cocktail lounge and a breezy, beachside locale, it’s apparent his collection reflects both sentiments. “There are two sides of me—the really urban guy and the guy who loves the coasts. It goes back to Italy,” says Ponterio. “I like mixing things that are rugged with those that are a bit more refined.”

ALEXA HAMPTON Interviewed by Carrier and Company

You’ve expressed, “It’s been a no-boundaries design process with Theodore Alexander.” What’s been your favorite exploration? I loved visiting Theodore Alexander’s foundry and seeing all of their metalwork capabilities. Sometimes simply picking hardware can be a drag, but this wasn’t. They can do anything! You mentioned taking ideas from art, antiques and travel. I am an eternal “Euro wannabe.” I so wish I were European, that I married one and made three little Euros! That said, rich design traditions are everywhere, and the Far East has always held a vast influence over beautiful interiors. A touch of chinoiserie, a chow leg, red lacquer, bamboo motifs: These are all firm members of the design canon. Any Alexa fave that you are going to use over and over in projects? I am excited to play with the metal console tables immediately. I am also really psyched to have a Napoleon III slipper chair at the ready. That’s the best part of having a collection: You can selfishly make what your heart most wants!

CARRIER AND COMPANY

Interviewed by Richard Mishaan First off, the Century Collection is stunning. How do you find a balance between creative, new designs, without straying too far from the roots of your brand? Thank you, Richard! We wanted our collection to be reflective of our assembled interiors, which express dualities—a mix of simple with ornate, sheen with hand and glamour with organic earthiness. For us, having standout pieces, along with simpler forms is very much on brand. How do you divide up your roles as husband and wife once you’re ‘at work’ and how do you successfully partner your visions? While we generally share an aligned point of view, we each have our own strengths, interests and inspirations. It is our differences that actually make us stronger—we challenge each other’s choices, but ultimately focus on the shared goals to temper ego with perspective. What do people overlook when designing that can be found in your collection? Versatility. We designed pieces that can move from room-to-room or coast-to-coast. Good design travels well!

RYAN KORBAN

Interviewed by Alexa Hampton Tell me about the process for your new EJ Victor collection. Are you a cocktail napkin conceptualist? Where do the ideas start? Mine start in a bottle of tequila! For me it was daunting, but then I realized I was making it more complicated than it needed to be. I started in retail and commercial space design, so I’ve been designing custom fixtures and furnishings for my entire career. I went back to all my favorite pieces I had designed for brands like Balenciaga but changed the comfort and proportions for people to enjoy in their own homes. How do you describe your collection as a whole and what influenced you? It’s simple: It’s the idea of new luxury; luxury for a new generation. It’s inspired by the French 1920s with the use of interesting materials like suede and plaster. It’s meant to feel elevated but can also be used in a casual way. What pieces are you taking home with you? Oh, good question: a pair of Holland side chairs and a Foch Chandelier!

RICHARD MISHAAN

Interviewed by Ryan Korban Do your Colombian roots play a role in your new collection with Theodore Alexander? The fact that Colombia has produced so many creatives means that there is something inspiring us all. Colombia has rich artisans and sophisticated crafts that are both in such demand at the moment. As they say, you can take little Ricky out of Colombia, but you can’t take Colombia out of little Ricky! What were your go-to materials? I love to see texture and grain in the woods we select. I find that there are so many beautiful patterns that if accentuated can add to the richness of the design. I am lucky that Theodore Alexander’s manufacturing allowed me to work with fine wood finishes, metals and hand-painted panels—the sky was the limit. Who do you see living with your new collection? The Theodore Alexander client is already a sophisticated one. I designed this collection to have versatility, to coexist with furniture the client may already own and to translate well everywhere around the globe. Younger clients may not have some of the more classical pieces, so it’s fun to mix them in with contemporary furniture.

MEET the MAKER STEPHEN ANTONSON

OPEN HOUSE

Brooklyn artist Stephen Antonson has earned a following for his distinctive plaster works—and now he’s introducing bronze pieces. His Calliope mirror was inspired by artist Anselm Kiefer’s comment that humans are fascinated with the sea because the sea is where we came from. What began as a nautilus-type spiral was flattened out to create the overscale Zeus mirror, which Antonson simplified to make his smaller Calliope mirror (above, left). Another new work, his Honoré table lamp (above, right), was inspired by a Paris visit. As he and his wife passed a hotel, he saw a vase on a table inside. Back at his own hotel, he sketched the vase, then played with its shape to produce a design. “It reminds me of the famous sculpture Rodin did of Honoré de Balzac, where Balzac is standing up straight, leaning back,” he says. “And I just thought, yeah, Honoré. I like that.” stephenantonson.com

Founded by Virginia-raised siblings Anne Massie and Will Massie, McKinnon and Harris has earned a reputation for finely handcrafted aluminum outdoor furnishings. The company has just unveiled a new showroom in the Decoration & Design Building, across the street from its previous New York location. Brooklyn- and Virginia-based firm Architecture AF was tapped to renovate the space, which features an otherworldly white color palette, Renaissance- and Roman-era stone antiquities and their signature olive trees, as well as original artwork by Anne. This larger locale showcases McKinnon and Harris’ growing collection of offerings and includes a contemporary gallery. New to the showroom are three dining chairs—the cushionless Fayette Yacht Chairs and Beaufort Yacht Chairs, and the Rives Dining Chairs. The D&D Building location will also be among the first where you can catch a peek at one of the company’s popular Virginia Benches (below). mckinnonharris.com

After enjoying Latin bistro fare at on-site dining venue Carbonero, either of the hotel’s two rooftop bars—one for summer nights and the other to be enjoyed year-round—is the perfect place for a guest to grab a nightcap. hotelhendricksny.com

COLLABORATION Mother-and-daughter design duo Natasha Sultan and Helena Sultan of Konekt have teamed up with luxury home decor platform The Scope to launch their first collaboration, a head-turning grouping of chain mailwrapped pendant lights and tables. After spotting an antique metal pot scrubber at a flea market, Natasha and Helena knew that they would incorporate chain mail into their next series. Their new Armor Collection offers side tables (left) with a cylindrical or triangular solid brass or cold-rolled steel base, cloaked in metal mesh. Table bases and their covering material can be crafted in contrasting fi nishes to create a layered look. Inspired by artist Eva Hesse’s 1966 sculpture Untitled or Not Yet, the lighting collection (top) showcases a handblown glass single pendant or a cluster of organically shaped orbs elegantly draped in chain mail. The partially clad pendants’ stunning juxtaposition of Medieval armorstyle chain mail and delicate glass evoke Hesse’s artwork, with the metal links evocative of its knotted string bags and the spheres referencing the rounded shapes contained within. Pendants can be finished in satin brass, satin nickel, satin black or oil-rubbed bronze. thescopenyc.com 102 / LUXESOURCE.COM

PAUL FERRANTE paulferrante.com |

paulferranteinc

The production methods of custom lighting company Paul Ferrante are the opposite of cutting-edge, which, contrary to popular thinking, is a good thing. “The handmade, handcrafted and hand-finished products are what set Paul Ferrante apart. The company continues to use time-honored methods,” owner Tommy Raynor says. Spanning three generations and nearly 60 years, the family-owned and -operated business has decades of experience and expertise to draw from. Since business partner and founder Paul Ferrante’s passing 25 years ago, Raynor, along with over 60 employees, has taken the reins with a hands-on approach from manufacturing to product selection. Everything begins with the design, and the designs are born from a deep understanding and appreciation of what has come before. The knowledge of scale and proportion and the ability to get it right in the translation is Paul Ferrante’s signature. Additionally, the company distinguishes itself by its custom capabilities and being able to work with ideas and make them a reality.

“ Paul Ferrante is known for products with the highest level of design, manufacture and finish.”

The Finishing Touch

Keeping It Interesting

Paul Ferrante recently introduced an exclusive finish innovation, years in the making. This beautiful Faux Bronze lacquer finish is the result of a labor-intensive, multilayered process that provides a convincingly realistic bronze finish on our iron pieces at a fraction of the cost of working in bronze.

Unlike most other high-end lighting and furniture manufacturers, Paul Ferrante introduces new products almost monthly, and has over 1,000 handmade examples of custom lighting and furniture in the product line.

MOD MOMENT

HIGH-END DESIGNS PUSH THE ENVELOPE WHEN IT COMES TO MODULAR KITCHEN STYLES. Modular kitchens aren’t a new concept. They were first introduced in Europe as an efficient, low-cost alternative for homes being built in a post-World War I era but have reemerged quite differently today. While these early spaces were mostly standardized or fitted, today, modular kitchens, which are made up of specific modules or components that work together, have evolved to be stylish, practical and a welcome option in a world of too many choices. Several contemporary kitchen companies offer modular plans that have a set style or aesthetic 156 / luxesource.com

but can also be customized to create a design that is very much original. Piero Lissoni, the art director for Boffi, agrees the future of the kitchen is modular, and that these spaces should include “simple elements, where areas of work and life come together.” For the latest Combine series, Lissoni dreamed up a selection of functional monoblocs in varying sizes that can be used with worktops and extractable tables to fabricate a kitchen that is still personalized for its user. Vipp, a Danish family-run kitchen company that recently opened its first U.S. outpost, understands that design is a very personal endeavor. The firm's hope is that once a modular kitchen is installed, it can act as furniture that can be packed up and brought from home to home or passed on through generations, an idea they coined as the ‘heirloom kitchen.’ While Vipp offers four sleek module units including two islands, a wall component and a taller storage piece, it sticks to one color when it comes to finishes: black. “We found that endless colors and configurations feel

unnecessarily overwhelming,” says Sofie Egelund, Vipp’s concept director whose great-grandfather founded the brand in 1939. The Vipp ethos of less is more allows for the kitchen to work harmoniously with the rest of the home’s high design. Modular offerings are also a hit with interior designers. Paris-based Sarah Lavoine says, “The kitchen is very technical and relying on a company whose expertise is focused on this area allows me to be more creative in other rooms.” With so many sophisticated materials and configurations, Lavoine is surprised by how custom these modular kitchens can be but without the time-consuming installation and planning that usually follows. New York designer Alberto Villalobos understands there is no need to sacrifice style or aesthetics with the number of luxury options out there. “I utilize every tool available to me and modular kitchens have proven they are the practical and polished choice in many circumstances,” he says.

Australian design duo Tim and Sylvia Hill know a thing or two about beach days, so they decided to create the ideal accessory for long, summer days at the sea with the Dreamtime towel. Inspired by the incredibly soft Turkish peshtemal, the towel’s high-quality cotton is sourced from Turkey's southern region of Buldan and will only get better with each wash. It’s lightweight, absorbent and transitions easily from the beach to home use. maydestore.com

For Thomas Furse-Roberts and Graeme Martinow, the directors of architecture and interior design firm Boundary Space, their design ethos for this London master bathroom was be bold or go home. Drawing inspiration from fashion, history and pop culture, Furse-Roberts says, “We were influenced by the ’70s because it has this glamorous connotation but was also a very futuristic time period, so we wanted to channel Blondie and Pan Am here.” The homeowner is in the film industry and the designers were charged with creating a room that not only represents their client’s personality but also the surrounding Notting Hill area, which is known for a strong sense of color and creativity.

WITH WANDERLUST ON THE MIND, CREATIVES ARE FLOCKING TO FAR-REACHING DESTINATIONS IN SEARCH OF ART, ARTISANS AND ARCHITECTURAL WONDERS. WRITTEN BY MARY ORE PRODUCED BY JENNIFER CONDON

Much like in the 19th century, when the Arts and Crafts movement espoused a return to the handmade in response to rampant industrialization, today’s visionary talents are turning away from technology and celebrating a return to the authentic. Bringing a modernist zeal to stone, straw, clay and textiles, creatives around the globe are reviving traditional crafts from an entirely new point of view. A desire for connection—to the materials, the process and to the region’s history—is at the heart of this new wave, which favors individuality and the sustained focus on genuine inspiration. Architects, too, are taking cues from their country’s past to build anew or overhaul the old, all the while creating work that’s startling fresh. There’s plenty of luxury, too, in the richness of the resources, the attention to details and the elegance and originality of the vision. Read on as we tour an array of design destinations where authenticity and modernism meet.

PORTUGAL Minimalist architectural silhouettes, exposed wood construction and high-end whiteon-white interiors give a bohemian-chic vibe to the Sublime Comporta. As the go-to boutique resort for this under-the-radar vacation destination, the Sublime Comporta recently reopened after a complete renovation that included redecorating the rooms in the traditions of the region, adding one of the largest “bio” pools in Europe and building nine poolside suites on stilts. With both a beachy and woodland Zen feel—stretches of unspoiled white sandy coastline lay to the west and forests of umbrella pines and cork trees to the east—its stunning locale is the perfect place to reconnect with nature. It’s also a glamorous and restful basecamp for excursions to nearby villages to discover the indigenous handicrafts for which the region is known. sublimecomporta.pt

Portugal holds a special place in fabric atelier Pierre Frey’s heart—so much so that the brand developed a panoramic wallcovering called Lisboa (above) that echoes the traditional Portuguese azulejos found on the palaces of Lisbon and Porto. Here, Frey shares his favorite architectural spaces. pierrefrey.com

2CL CLAY DAY

Famous for its azulejo-tiled buildings and artisanal ceramics, Portugal is brimming with talented potters who are drawing on the country’s ceramicist heritage while mixing in their own perspectives. As part of their home decor collection, David Pimentel and Arren Williams of Casa Cubista craft bold and bright ceramics (left) from their studio on the Algarve Coast. Farther north in Alcabideche, Anna Westerlund, of Swedish-Portuguese descent, brings both her legacies to the pottery (right) she creates at her sun-washed atelier. casacubista.com, annawesterlund.com

Oriente Station by Santiago Calatrava: It was in Lisbon that I first discovered this architect and I love everything he creates. He has works in London and France and was the creative mind behind lower Manhattan’s Oculus. His buildings are filled with energy, while being very dynamic and powerful. Promontorio Headquarters: The impressive interior staircase in this architecture firm’s office is made of concrete, which normally feels heavy, but the curves are graceful and light and entice you to find out where it leads. Prado: As a culinary institution, of course the food is great, but the architecture is simple and precise. The high, white walls and ceiling are filled with long tendrils of hanging plants making it a refreshing atmosphere to dine.

POSSESSIONS For exciting new design, look no further than Luteca or Ewe—both channel modern principles through artisanal techniques. Luteca offers original and classic designs, such as the Line chair (above), designed by Michael van Beuren, a Bauhaus-trained American who moved to the city in the 1930s. At the design collective Ewe, natural materials are transformed into sculptural collectibles. For the Copal coffee table (below), stonemasons eschewed machinery, opting instead to sculpt Tikal marble into six half spheres entirely by hand. luteca.com, ewe-studio.com

ART CORE

One of the stars of the Mexican art scene is Galeriá OMR, in the Roma district (site of the Oscar-winning film), which is celebrated for discovering and cultivating some of the country’s most innovative talents, including Jose Dávila, Pia Camil, Gabriel Rico and Yann Gerstberger, a French artist who moved to the city seven years ago. Gluing hand-dyed mop thread and industrial fabric scraps onto vinyl, Gerstberger draws on myriad influences—Nigerian folk art, Surrealism, graffiti—to create vibrant works that pay homage to Mexico’s rich textile heritage. galeriaomr.com

CASA CALIENTE

Lush tropical foliage and classical architectural elements mix to create an exotic sensibility in the courtyard of the Nima Local House Hotel, built in the late 19th century when the city was known as “little Paris.” One of a handful of house-hotels cropping up in the neighborhood, the Nima feels more like a grand home with a central living room warmed by a marble fireplace and four well-appointed guest rooms. Although each has its own look inspired by people once connected to the property, they all feature a contemporary sensibility and the latest amenities. nimalocalhousehotel.com

Brazil’s lively design scene lured back Brunno Jahara, a native who had decamped to Italy to study and work in architecture. Founding his own studio in Rio de Janeiro upon his return, he’s become known for his playful decor made with materials that range from textiles to recycled plastic. Not one to shy away from color, he went with natural hues for a line of woven straw lamps—part of a collaboration with Brazilian fashion designer Carioca Ana Voss— that mixes down-to-earth chic with tropical flair. brunnojahara.com

With her second collection for the high-end furniture brand Artefacto, architect Patricia Anastassiadis of Anastassiadis Arquitetos showcases her gifts for sumptuous minimalism in pieces like the Banco Vivika (bottom) and spaces such as the lobby bar of the new Palacio Tangara hotel in São Paulo (left). Here she shares insight into what makes her native Brazil so special. anastassiadis.com.br, artefacto.com How do you define the region’s design? Brazilian modernist design is celebrated worldwide, and it was created mostly by

immigrants and their descendants. What truly marks this region’s design is diversity—we live in a cultural melting pot where countless references coexist. What exemplifies that look? Amazing woodwork, marvelous ceramics (with pieces from Marajó Island, for instance) and unique materials (such as the golden grass found at Jalapão) that create beautiful accessories. Did growing up in Brazil influence your approach? My architecture practice is based in São Paulo, a city with a rich and interesting international scene, and my work is marked by this diversity. Also, I’ve always been interested in classical art and architecture, which gives us a deeper understanding of the world. When we understand traditional design, we’re able to create original work of our own. Tell us about the new collaboration with Artefacto. We are always looking to develop timeless pieces with a holistic appeal. And despite their strong visual appeal, they’re not necessarily related to trends. I believe a good design piece ruptures its timeline without losing its aesthetic or functional relevance.

Converted from a 19th-century convent and hospital, the lavish new Jaffa Hotel has opened in Tel Aviv. The high-end remodel, which has put this ancient port city on the design cognoscenti’s must-see list, preserved a historic chapel and wall of a 13th-century crusaders’ fortress while sinking a pool—where nuns once tended their orange groves—peacefully below street level. Deck furnishings by B&B Italia reflect how gracefully modern luxury can engage with history in one of the world’s oldest cities. thejaffahotel.com

The Design Museum Holon, enveloped in sinuous steel bands in shades of red, is a fitting site for the celebration of Israeli decorative arts. Its iconic façade, the vision of architect Ron Arad, is singular, as is the museum’s mission: As the country’s sole design museum, it is devoted to educating visitors through events and exhibitions about international design and contemporary culture. But it’s the evolving permanent collection, which encompasses Israeli design from the 1930s to the present, that offers new perspectives on the country’s aesthetic legacy and puts into context the energy invigorating a new crop of Israeli designers today. dmh.org.il

A short walk from the Jaffa hotel is Saga, a wellcurated decorative arts store. Here, a selection of home goods represents the work of some 100 Israeli design studios from established names to emerging talents, including masks by Studio Umasqu (above) and a colored concrete coffee table by Magenta Workshop (below). The store is also just a stone’s throw from the popular Jaffa Flea Market, a conglomeration of stalls where visitors can barter for nearly anything under the sun. However, for design lovers, Saga’s pouredconcrete showroom, inch-for-inch, offers a more disciplined shopping approach with a great thrill of discovery. sagatlv.com

GOLDEN HOUR

A NEW SAGAPONACK HOUSE FILLED WITH VIBRANT CONTEMPORARY ARTWORKS OFFERS A WHIMSICAL FAMILY RETREAT. WRITTEN BY MAILE PINGEL / PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC PIASECKI

luxesource.com / 173

fter building their dream getaway on Long Island’s East End, a Boston-based couple realized they needed just a little more space. They purchased the property next door to their Sagaponack home and reenlisted the same design team to craft a guesthouse for their grown children. And while the idea was to create a structure that related, visually, to the Shingle-style main house, the brief was clear: This time around, let’s have some fun. “They didn’t want to do the Nantucket thing,” says interior designer Alyssa Urban, who spearheaded the project with interior designer Ellie Cullman. “They pushed us to do something more modern and playful here.” That animated spirit is palpable as one approaches the house. It’s Shingle style but through the proverbial looking glass. “We wanted this house to have personality,” says architect Thomas Kligerman. “The main house is almost origami-like, so we exaggerated that idea with how the shingles turn, the flare of the gambrel roof—it’s more of a folly,” he says. Working with general contractor William Costello, Kligerman was able to employ an idea he first pondered for the main house. “I’d been inspired by sail lofts, purpose-built buildings for sail-making on eastern Long Island and in New England. The offices are downstairs, with a loft and windows upstairs.” Here, an upside-down plan enabled him to pack the ground floor with four ensuite king bedrooms, leaving the upper floor to an airy great room with a kitchen, bar and powder room. “We got a lot more in than I ever imagined,” continues Kligerman, noting that hiding the mechanicals in a house without a basement or an attic proved a challenge. (He ultimately slipped them in over closets.) But the architect is also quick to note that challenges bring successes. When the review board nixed an upstairs band of windows, Kligerman tweaked the plan. The result was “a quirky asymmetry that loosened it up a bit,” he says. “Sometimes pushback forces creativity. You have to get more inventive, and that’s a good thing.” With the loosening of the architecture also came a loosening of the interiors. Light woods replaced mahogany and a color palette inspired by a Pucci skirt in Cullman’s

“THIS ISN’T A CASUAL BEACH HOUSE. EVERY SINGLE PIECE IS A WORK OF ART.” –KATIE SUTTON

closet was “dialed back a bit,” says Urban, who also worked with colleague Katie Sutton on the project. “The color scheme is punchier than the main house but we backed away from acid green. We also gave each bedroom its own palette—blush, yellow, indigo and turquoise—color specific, but quiet and soft,” she explains. Adds Sutton: “It took a lot of thought but when the clients want perfection, they allow you to make custom pieces—like the Wonmin Park resin coffee table—or to travel to find just the right thing. This isn’t a casual beach house. Every single piece is a work of art.” To that end, the designers and the wife traveled to Los Angeles, finding pieces at Jean de Merry, Blackman Cruz and Dougall Paulson, and to Paris, where they found the Hervé Langlais dining table at Galerie Negropontes. “With its curved ceiling and bowed sides, the upstairs area is huge,” says Urban, “so it took us a while to come up with the floor plan that would ‘let each piece sing,’ as Ellie would say.” Throughout the home, the designers explored new decorative techniques. “We pushed what we could do,” says Urban, noting mother-of-pearl wall finishes and embroidered, painted or otherwise lavishly embellished draperies. And while figuring out the fit and flow of furnishings was a feat unto itself, placing the couple’s extraordinary art collection also took serious consideration. The right works were found with the help of art advisor Rachel Carr Goulding of Ruth Catone. The couple’s Boston home features Early American paintings, while their Manhattan pied-à-terre focuses on midcentury and contemporary works. In Sagaponack, however, they’d opted for “younger, emerging and international artists,” says Carr Goulding. Those style choices carried over into the guesthouse. “The Jeppe Hein balloons in the entry really set the stage,” notes the art advisor. Other works include pieces by artists Spencer Finch, Alice Channer, Mika Tajima, Donald Moffett and Lesley Vance. But not every artwork is new. To bridge the properties, the couple moved a large mirrored work by Hein to the exterior of the guesthouse, where it reflects Edmund Hollander’s landscape. “We needed the new garden to relate to the main house but we didn’t want it to be a mini-me,” Hollander says with his signature humor. “Great clients let you be as creative as you can be within the boundaries, so here we were able to preserve remnants of the old boardwalk for some history.” Hollander, who worked with his firm’s Melissa Reavis, created “gathering places” around the guesthouse that allow visitors to enjoy a sensory experience. “There’s fragrance—the smell of the ocean and the beach roses—and the sound of wind in the grasses and the bees going from rose to rose.” Hollander also included seaside goldenrod to welcome those other guests, the Monarch butterflies that migrate through in autumn. It’s a guesthouse with open arms, so to speak, and is currently home to the owners while the main house is refreshed. “I love the way its three-dimensionality is revealed when the sunlight glints across the façade. It’s exuberant!” says Kligerman, adding reflectively, “I’d live in it in an instant.”

A whimsical tone is immediately established upon entering this house designed by Ellie Cullman, Alyssa Urban and Katie Sutton. Artist Nancy Lorenz created custom lacquer panels for the Larrea Studio cabinet. On the opposite wall, the Donald Moffett piece introduces the blue color scheme found throughout the home.

esign icon Albert Hadley believed decorating was “about creating a quality of life, a beauty that nourishes the soul.” To which his protégé— and design superstar in his own right—David Kleinberg would add, “In our world there are people who design rooms for Instagram. I design rooms for living.” That philosophy, along with Kleinberg’s signature ability to put a fresh face on traditional design, held instant appeal for a couple preparing to leave the Westport residence where they raised their three daughters in favor of a home with a more relaxed plan. “We wanted something that would work for just the two of us but that would also be a draw for our kids and grandkids,” says the husband. The couple saw Kleinberg and his associate, Lance Scott, as the perfect pairing with local architects John Gassett and Jerry Hupy (who, ironically, the couple first discovered when vacationing down south). “We knew we wanted a team that included an interior designer who would select furnishings with the architecture in mind,” explains the wife, “as well as surround us with artwork and other pieces we’ve accumulated over decades.” It was also important to the homeowners that the architecture remained consistent with the local vernacular, and Gassett and Hupy determined that a gambrel home best fulfilled this request. “You find gambrels throughout the Connecticut shore, and unlike the inherent grandeur of a Georgian, this style has a casual elegance that was perfect for them,” says Gassett. With its western red cedar shingles and painted iron-gray trim, the residence, which was constructed by general contractor Brian Macdonald and his team, is sited to have a welcoming street presence. The friendly feeling flows inside. “One of the things that informed the interiors was their collection of art, items

and ephemera,” says Hupy of the homeowners. He and Gassett articulated niches and shelving to highlight the clients’ photography and collections, and then Kleinberg and Scott introduced custom-scale furnishings as complements. On one side of the living room, for example, a woven cotton sofa and an Andrew Moore photo share a niche, while on the opposite end in another alcove, a Tina Barney image and a Christophe Côme console are just steps from a table with turned legs. Such genre blending strikes at the core of Kleinberg’s “traditional now” philosophy, which emphasizes a classic approach while reflecting the current time. “In the 1980s I might have used chintz, but now I use a textural pattern instead,” says Kleinberg, pointing to the raised diamond pattern on the room’s armchairs and the nubby texture on the rug. Mixed metals—nickel-andbrass floor lamps in the living room, and stainless steel on the kitchen stove hood—add another layer of interest, and in the master bedroom, woven-silk walls enveloping a parchment-covered bed and a suede ottoman further illustrate his point. “You don’t have to have seven colors in a room to keep it from feeling bland,” he points out. “Texture is color.” There was discussion at the start of the project over whether to have a separate formal dining room. That debate ended with a single, contemporary-leaning open space and two tables that expand to seat 24 as needed. Thanks to a thoughtful molding package, the generously scaled room retains a sense of intimacy. “Trimwork dramatically changes the proportion of a room,” says Hupy. “This room is sized to accommodate more than 20 people, but the detailing makes it also feel perfect for two people reading books.” Further upping the ante is the family room, where caned-back sofas, a vintage Italian light fixture and a stained concrete table harmoniously coexist. As Scott explains, “Whenever possible we took the traditional layout up a notch by including artisans who are working in the now.” In keeping with the architecture, landscape architect Wesley Stout and project designer Elisa Miret-Pollino opted for a traditional landscaping approach in the front of the house that included a retaining wall fashioned from granite, and an expanse of lawn softened with ornamental grasses. “Conceptually we tend to keep the front of a house green and simple, and place color in the back where you can sit and enjoy it,” says Stout. The end result is a home that welcomes clean-lined modern interjections while still respecting the surroundings. “The older we get, the younger we want to appear, and I think that holds true for how we live as well,” says Kleinberg. “And just like us, our rooms should age gracefully.”

Architecture meets interior design in the dining room, where a niche was designed to create a frame for art. Here, a Tina Barney photograph shares the space with a Christophe CĂ´me bronzeand-glazed-ceramic console from the Cristina Grajales Gallery.

Building on his theory that â&#x20AC;&#x153;texture is color,â&#x20AC;? interior designer David Kleinberg set the stage in the living room with armchairs upholstered in Jim Thompson fabric and a hand-woven wooland-silk rug from Patterson, Flynn and Martin. The slope arm sofa is from Anthony Lawrence Belfair.

Right: “They wanted a style of architecture consistent with their area of New England,” says architect John Gassett, who, along with associate Jerry Hupy, designed a traditional staircase in keeping with the local Connecticut vernacular. The wainscoting on the landing walls bespeaks the level of architectural detailing throughout the house. Opposite: “The first thing we purchased was a pair of pendants that span 42 inches in diameter,” says Kleinberg about the vintage bronze dishes (there’s a second in the living room) from 1stdibs.

s far back as she remembers, Brooklyn-based textile artist Molly Haynes has always had a creative spark. But it wasn’t until her studies at the Rhode Island School of Design that the spark was truly ignited, by a newly discovered passion for weaving. “I took a machineknitting class my sophomore year,” she says, “and it was love at first sight. I didn’t realize until later that textiles were a part of my familial past. My greatgrandfather was an abstract expressionist and his paintings were inspired by Bulgarian textiles.” Those paintings—as well as her childhood surroundings of the forests and marshlands of Massachusetts’ North Shore—laid the groundwork for her own works, a collection of hand-woven vases, wall hangings and panels. Other influences, such as the desert landscape of the American Southwest and the midcentury works of weavers such as Sheila Hicks and Lenore Tawney, have also played an important role. The weavings are born not on the loom, but on a piece of paper. “I usually start out with my graph paper and notebook,” Haynes says of her creative process. “I make tons of really rough sketches, and the very first thing I need to decide is the width of the piece. Within the width, I can divide it up into whatever pattern I want to.” The most complicated—and time-consuming—work comes from preparing the loom, which can take up to 14 hours. It is a necessary act of precision that later allows for the spontaneity of the artist’s designs. “I don’t necessarily plan out the actual pattern of the piece because there are so many things you can do once the warp is set up. I’ll just kind of do whatever I decide to do in the moment.” Haynes’ designs could best be described as achromatic. “I’m a black-and-white girl,” she says. “I love it because of the beautiful tension between the two colors. And it also allows me to achieve the most dimension in my work.” As for other hues, she has a soft spot for rust, celadon, citron and traffic-cone orange. “For me color has to be really intentional,” she explains. “I don’t like to use unnecessary or decorative things in my work, but I will if there’s a way for me to incorporate color where it enlivens or pops, in the way that maybe caution tape might encroach upon a landscape. I like to use it as sort of a surprise.” With the recent attention Haynes has garnered through her shows at INC Architecture and Design (through cooperative hub Colony’s Conception Series) and Sixty Les Hotel, she is now taking the leap from part-time to full-time artist. After working with the renowned Pollack Fabrics (she credits them for being the foundation for her career), she is now focusing solely on her art. “There’s something special about weaving,” Haynes concludes. “It’s so simple, yet it can refine an idea through materials—you can isolate a concept just through yarn. I love that.” 198 / luxesource.com

INTERIOR DESIGN / MICHAEL AIDUSS, MICHAEL AIDUSS INTERIORS + ARCHITECTURE

hen it came to their Manhattan piedà-terre, a New Jersey couple could not have asked for a better location: overlooking Central Park, a mere stone’s throw from Lincoln Center. But the apartment itself was about as classically nondescript as the 1960s-era landmark high-rise in which it was housed. “It’s the kind of building that bridges the gap between modernist and brutalist,” notes designer Michael Aiduss, whom the couple, upon retiring and selling their suburban home, hired to transform their occasional abode into a fulltime residence. While the 1,200-square-foot space wasn’t quite cramped, the original floor plan made the interiors feel heavy and oppressive, with a zig-zagging layout, awkwardly placed walls and doorways, and a lack of natural light in key spaces—all conspiring to diminish its proportions. In order to make it feel more open and expansive, Aiduss reconfigured the space by tweaking the unremarkable layout and cleaning up the architectural sight lines. Highgloss panels with mirrored interiors concealed doorways. Glass-and-bronze partitions replaced standard-issue walls in both the kitchen and the library (which was originally a rarely used second bedroom), creating a sense of vastness. “I wanted to replicate the feeling of an open layout while retaining the ability to exist in different rooms,” Aiduss explains. “By creating more intimate areas, we were able to make the ceiling height feel taller.” In the previously stifling entryway, Aiduss cleverly used antiqued mirrors to impart a sense of light. “Mirrors were a big necessity in terms of making the space appear larger,” he says. “Architecturally, it all feels more sound now.” In keeping with the apartment’s modernist roots, the designer chose a crisp palette of whites and beiges.

“THE CLIENT WANTED THE APARTMENT TO FEEL BEAUTIFUL AND LUXURIOUS WITHOUT BEING OVER THE TOP.” –MICHAEL AIDUSS

“I love color, but the space is not large, so the neutral palette allows you to have this exchange with the park and enjoy the seasonal changes from wintry white to bright green,” he says, noting the apartment’s prime views of the park and a picturesque carved-limestone church. “It allows you to exist in the apartment and feel very serene.” Still, Aiduss could not resist including a few subtle strokes of color, particularly in the master bedroom where a burntorange-and-gold headboard offsets a blush-lilac carpet. “The color is offered in more reserved doses, making the space feel more livable,” notes the designer. By incorporating luxe finishes throughout, Aiduss not only brought a sense of depth and richness to the minimalist palette, but also paid tribute to the couples’ love for old New York-style interiors: plaster moldings, gleaming white oak chevron floors, leather-clad walls and mahogany finishes in the library, and metallic flourishes everywhere, from the curtain rods and table legs to the light fixtures and nailhead trim on the dining banquette. In the kitchen, an artist scrupulously hand-painted the cabinets with 16 coats of lacquer, creating a textural, multidimensional finish that reflects several shades at once—khaki, gold, green and gray. “The client wanted the apartment to feel incredibly beautiful and as luxurious as it could be without being over the top,” Aiduss says. “It’s small, but when you’re inside it feels so well appointed. Every closet you open, there’s a beautiful interior and it’s very tailored. There are no secondary spaces. Each one is primary and well done.” The furnishings also reflect a seamless marriage between modern and classic, balancing clean lines and subtle shades with the more sinuous silhouettes of a glamorous bygone era. “To complement the atmosphere of architectural grandeur, it was important to me that every item of furniture should be sculptural, a beautiful object to look at,” says Aiduss, who designed many of the pieces, from a mahogany-legged sofa and bronze-framed cocktail tables in the living room to a Jean-Michel Frank-inspired sideboard and an intricately veined rosewood dining table. The latter, which features a cantilevered base with gilded accents and a black marble plinth, is one of the more showstopping pieces. Based on 1960s Italian designs, it sits alongside a banquette on one side for a more fluid feel. “The client didn’t want a bunch of dining chairs clustered around the table,” says Aiduss. “Now it can also serve as a presentation table for flowers or books.” Other pieces he found in the antique markets of Paris and London: a gilt-bronze-and-goatskin table in the library, for example, and in the living room, a pair of 1950s Bruno Gambone ceramic lamps and a 1930s Swedish grace-period marquetry table. By refusing to hew to any one style in particular, Aiduss’s design evokes an overall vibe of tailored timelessness. “It’s inspired by the 1930s, the ’40s, the ’60s,” he says. “It’s a combination of efforts, which to me is the most successful aspect— it’s not too much of one thing.”

Inspired by the designs of Jean-Michel Frank, the library of this New York apartment designed by Michael Aiduss features leather-clad walls, a sofa by Jonas, a solid bronze table with a suede cushion top from Cinabre Gallery Paris, and bronze-and-copper lamps from Lucca Antiques.

Aiduss designed the bronzeand-glass doors that connect the library to the living and dining rooms. Upholstered in a Pierre Frey fabric, the armchair is from Jonas, the stool is from Maison Gerard and the brass-framed cocktail table was designed by Aiduss.

Steel-and-glass doors provide city views from the library straight through the living room. A Holland & Sherry silver-and-cream rug picks up the sunlight and adds to the lightness of the room.

To create the expandable rosewood dining table, Aiduss drew inspiration from 20thcentury French and Italian furniture. Upholstered in a Fortuny fabric, the custom chairs are modeled after the designs of Jean-Michel Frank.

The range is by Wolf and the hood was designed by Aiduss. Below, right: Since the kitchen looks out onto the living area, Aiduss wanted it to be as streamlined as possible. The continuous use of bleached white oak chevron flooring throughout the apartment allows for a natural flow.

The custom-made sleigh bed in the master bedroom is covered in a Fortuny fabric and dressed in Frette linens. Topped with a Best & Lloyd lamp from George Smith, the shagreen dresser was discovered at R&Y Augousti in Paris.
