BERNHARDT

NEOLITH

Bernhardt combines inspiration and technical skill with this wholly unique modern art piece. The Barcelona credenza is hand-carved from reclaimed teak—a process that can take up to a day to complete—then hand-clad, in minute relief, in German silver. Measures 34"H x 72"W x 18"D.

Neolith’s new Strata Argentum is inspired by silver travertine marble. Defined by its delicate, horizontally veined white and silver lines, it mimics the beauty of the marble in a durable, low-maintenance sintered compact surface for countertops, flooring, walls and more.

EDITOR’S LETTER

Around the time that we were shaping up this issue, dedicated to outdoor living, the headlines were buzzing about a United Nations study that wild pollinators in certain regions, especially bees, birds and butterflies, are in jeopardy of extinction. I shook my head in dismay and turned to the next headline. Then, as I started to review layouts and finalize the pages for this issue, many of which displayed stunning gardens and landscapes, I thought more about those bumblebees, monarch butterflies and hummingbirds. The headlines seemed dire and on a global scale, yet I wondered if I could play some tiny part to contribute a solution (while also imparting more splendor to the landscape). The answer was a resounding yes! Though truth be told, as a black-thumb wannabe gardener, I tasked my green-thumb husband with planting our new butterfly garden of black-eyed Susans, gaillardia and coral honeysuckles. As appreciators of good design, immersed in an industry dedicated to shaping and enhancing the environment, we should take an active role in the creation and protection of beauty—from helping to preserve historic buildings, to decorating interior spaces that spread joy, to planting gardens that will grow lush and healthy. I hope that this issue brings you not only inspiration and pleasure, but also encourages you to dig deep into the ground and plant a seed.

CONTRIBUTORS

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

JOANNA MCCLURE

Photographer / New York

YELENA MOROZ ALPERT

Writer / Washington, D.C.

Name one individual that you wish you could have interviewed. Georgia O’Keeffe. It was her paintings of New York skyscrapers that first made me pay attention to architecture. What’s intriguing you now in the world of design? I love how it’s a reflection of us or maybe even what we aspire to be. You can really tell a lot about someone by entering his or her home. Most interesting person you’ve ever met: My dad, Leonid Moroz. He is a neuroscientist and the amount of knowledge he packs into his own brain is beyond me. He can talk about neurons, then seamlessly transition into a conversation about the history of the Russian Revolution. If money were no object, I would buy… A quilted Chanel bag. It’s a classic fashion piece, and every time I wore it I would hope that some of Coco Chanel’s genius would rub off on me.

ELAINE MARKOUTSAS Writer / Chicago Most memorable interview: With Dutch designer Piet Oudolf that took place at his Lurie Garden in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Besides being enchanted by his brilliant views on perennial landscapes and the almost-Impressionistic painting before us, the Grant Park Orchestra was rehearsing nearby and the sun was starting to peek out of a heavy fog—it doesn’t get much better than that. Design style: Because I’m exposed to so much, I sometimes find it difficult to pick a lane. I live in a 1890s Victorian house that has an addition many describe as Tuscan, but my living room blends a bit of Paris Moderne with old-world European. Somehow, though, it all works. Prized possessions: A still life above my dining room fireplace. I fell in love with it when I saw it in Florence, Italy, and lusted over it the entire trip home. As soon as I was able to, I called the gallery and purchased it. Also, the ice blue-and-goldsilk Fortuny chandelier that hangs in my bedroom, because… Fortuny.

KATE BENSON Photographer / Miami If you could shoot anywhere in the U.S., where would it be? Somewhere in Hawaii. I’ve shot there before, but I will find any excuse to go back. Dream home: A historic house in downtown Charleston. It’s my new city, and I am gushing over the architecture! What other types of design styles are you drawn to? Repurposed architecture. I love seeing how a space can transform into a new one. Whether it’s an old barn or shipping containers converted into homes, the subject just fascinates me. And, if there are exposed elements of what the structure used to be, that’s a bonus! Who is the most fascinating person you know? Probably my son, but then again I may be biased. I didn’t spend much time around children before having one, and the way he sees the world, strings together ideas, thinks and moves so freely, it’s both amazing and inspiring.

MCCLURE HEADSHOT: HORACIO SALINAS. VIGNETTE PHOTO: JOANNA MCCLURE. MARKOUTSAS HEADSHOT: EVAN LEROUX. BENSON HEADSHOT: COURTESY KATE BENSON. ALPERT HEADSHOT: COURTESY YELENA MOROZ ALPERT.

Favorite Luxe shoot: The most recent ones in this issue’s “Spotlight,” “Material” and “Radar” sections. Working with the floral designers at Putnam & Putnam was fantastic, and all of those gorgeous jewels were so inspiring! My dream job would be… To photograph a campaign for Spanish fashion house Loewe. I think what they are doing is incredible. What do you find inspiring about design today? I love that there is such variety right now, especially with young creatives who are pushing the boundaries. Top three things on your wish list: It would have to be a Lindsey Adelman Knotty Bubbles chain chandelier, a Loewe Flamenco knot bag in baby blue and any piece from Cardinal’s Fall/Winter collection.

With the launch of RH Modern this past fall, Gary Friedman had one thing top of mind: Create a new platform for modern home furnishings. The new brand “addresses the underserved and fragmented market for the modern consumer,” notes the Chairman and CEO of RH (formally Restoration Hardware). “In its sensibility, it has the same DNA of RH, but the spirit of the product comes from a very new forward-looking perspective.” One concept that remains evergreen for the company is sourcing from a register of high-profile international designers, integrating their creative viewpoints to render fresh ideas. “It all starts with the work,” states Friedman. “We respond to great work and find the people behind it.” Such talents include venerable architects Leo Marmol and Ron Radziner, outdoor furniture vets Harrison Condos and Nicholas Condos, and hospitality aficionado Ann Marie Vering—their diverse aesthetics coalescing with those of the master curators at RH Modern to furnish a number of the brand’s newest outdoor offerings. Here, we explore a few of the less-is-more fresh-air collections, just in time for summer.



RADAR / COLLABORATION

HARRISON CONDOS AND NICHOLAS CONDOS

Collections: Aegean, Mustique Brothers Harrison Condos and Nicholas Condos, the Australian duo behind outdoor furniture company Harbour Outdoor, effortlessly translate their innovative designs into three collections for RH Modern. Welcome party: Everything we design is inspired by the rich landscapes and made for the harsh climates of Australia, where living spaces are quite airy, and understated design is celebrated. Material makeup: Aluminum is our area of expertise, so naturally, we used it for our collections. It’s ultra-lightweight and has excellent finishing characteristics. Playing house: Our furniture would look right at home in an architecturally restrained beach house along the coast of Sydney or California. Favorite piece: The Aegean sofa. It’s so simple, lineal and versatile. Even in the winter when it’s time to take in the cushions, the sectionals are still going to look great due to the minimalistic aluminum slats.

ANN MARIE VERING

A resume bulleted with five-star resorts and spas spanning every hemisphere makes Ann Marie Vering a pro in setting the scene for relaxation. The Los Angeles-based creative taps her nomadic spirit as her muse when designing her inviting collections.

LEO MARMOL AND RON RADZINER

Collection: Bardenas The principals at leading modern architecture firm Marmol Radziner are no strangers to product design, having had forays in jewelry and furniture. The architects employ a streamlined yet pioneering approach to everything that comes out of their L.A. office, their first offerings for RH Modern being no exception. Get inspired: As the collection was originally conceived for our prefab Desert House in Desert Hot Springs, California, we were trying to reflect both the minimalist beauty of the desert landscape and the simple geometries of the structure. Modus operandi: Our approach is always the same no matter what we’re designing—to emphasize natural materials and craftsmanship. Playing house: We see these pieces in a home that is informed by the site and has a strong indoor-outdoor connection. Favorite piece: The Bardenas chaise. Its unadorned form embodies the clean, crisp lines and low profile that we were seeking with this collection.

Law of attraction: RH Modern is delivering accessibility to shoppers who want high-end modern design, and I’m drawn to that. Get inspired: I lived and worked in Bali and am extremely moved by its indoor-outdoor lifestyle, so I try to evoke its cool, simplistic vibe with all the outdoor furniture I design. Material makeup: Teak is one of the most beautiful woods in the world and perfect for outdoor environments. I added brass detailing—inspired by the stripes on vintage Tag Heuer watches—on the Paros collection for added detail. Lounge suite: The Cypress collection is extra-deep, forcing you to lounge, not sit up. I try to offer up design that is inviting. Playing house: If Tom Ford had a home in Bali, I would hope these collections would be in there; a modern house made of lava rock and concrete, overlooking the southern shores.

Clockwise from top right: The Paros round side table, designed by Ann Marie Vering; Marmol Radziner's Bardenas lounge chair; and the Mustique aluminum sofa by Harrison Condos and Nicholas Condos.

RADAR / DEBUT

NATURAL PROGRESSION IN HER SECOND COLLECTION WITH THE RUG COMPANY, DESIGN DOYENNE ALEXANDRA CHAMPALIMAUD IMPLORES A VISCERAL AND SOPHISTICATED APPROACH WITH TWO NEW STUNNING INTRODUCTIONS. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY KATE BERGERON PORTRAIT BY RENÉ CERVANTES

Getting started: I began searching for inspiration in graphic works and by observing movement in all different forms. Dahlia, inspired by the ancient flower, has a whimsical, subtle quality, while Shadow is a result of moving disks around a wall and projecting light to create these alluring, moody shapes.

Better together: My fascination with design and craftsmanship began in Portugal in the 1970s, where I studied and learned 18th-century methods in a workshop where pieces were crafted of incredible value. As a result, I hold craftsmanship in the highest regard. It’s an extremely personal gesture, the purest form of artistry human beings can create. The Rug Company travels to and from Nepal to seek out and work with these extremely talented people, those who singlehandedly give magic to a product we all put in our homes. Our harmonious ideologies make for a perfect partnership, and for products I love to include in all of my jobs. Products vs. projects: I believe that product design and interiors actually go hand-in-hand as they somewhat follow the same process. As a creative, there isn’t a moment I don’t envisage objects in three dimensions, or a moment

that I don’t imagine a completed space and the response I want it to evoke. A rug of one’s own: The beauty of these handknotted Nepalese rugs, made of Tibetan wool, is the depth and the soul that the texture alone brings to a room. Each one is a labor of love, and when placed in a space, they take on a life of their own.

RUG PHOTOS: COURTESY THE RUG COMPANY.

On nature: Nature played a major role in developing my most recent rug designs; beyond this collection, it’s what grounds me everyday and influences my work continuously. In today’s world, we live in an extremely complex environment, and I’m seeing an increasing need to surround ourselves with beautiful things that are both inspired and gentle. And so, influenced by the excitement of flowers and intrigue of light, Dahlia and Shadow (shown at right, top and bottom respectively) came to be very fluidly.

RADAR / BEHIND THE BRAND

FORM + VISION

ROCHE BOBOIS’ CREATIVE DIRECTOR HAS INVIGORATED THE VENERABLE BRAND WITH A SERIES OF DYNAMIC COLLABORATIONS, TURNING IT INTO A GLOBAL FORCE WITH A DISTINCTLY FRENCH TWIST.

To hear Nicolas Roche tell it, studying Carolingian structures and 14th-century Gothic sculpture—a nod to his days as a student preparing for a career in architecture—and serving as Roche Bobois’ creative director share some remarkable similarities. “It’s all related to volumes,” he reports. “Learning about them helps in dealing with forms and shapes, which I still do.” After practicing architecture for some 20 years, Roche assumed his role at the family business in 2005, bringing along his feeling for form, and guiding the stylish French brand through a series of compelling collaborations with a range of designers, beginning with Christophe Delcourt and the late Cédric Ragot (“He really moved us in the direction of innovative product,” notes Roche) and continuing with the likes of Jean Paul Gaultier and Missoni Home. Roche’s designer collaborations tend to grow organically. Beyond the landmark collections with notable names that happen every few years, there are also frequent collaborations with established and new faces. To identify those talents, Roche often visits fairs and looks through plenty of print sources. And, in the last few years, another source has proved to be a wellspring of talent. “The Internet allows me to spontaneously connect with designers,” he says, via sites focusing on architecture, contemporary art and style. Regardless of how he hits on a future collaborator, “I’m

interested in an original point of view, a surprising and different approach,” he explains. “More than a finished product, I look for the possibility of a project, the promise of a creative process.” Each collaboration is truly that, with Roche serving as part of a powerful form-perfecting trifecta: the core group of which involves him and the company’s in-house productdevelopment teams, the designer and the prototype manufacturer working with a backand-forth exchange. One recent collaboration— with Stephen Burks—grew out of a meeting in a Paris café and led last year to the Traveler collection’s American and European armchairs. This year’s iteration of the Traveler looks to Asia, with a complete outdoor collection marked by tubular steel structures wrapped with colorful cord. “It’s a traveling collection for a traveling designer,” Roche notes. While the firm’s pieces range from the cushy, aptly named Bubble seating, curved Iride tables and sculptural Waterline stools (all shown above) to the brightly colored Chroma lamp (right), Roche sees a common thread running throughout. “What makes it Roche Bobois is that the furnishings are striking in terms of image, strong shapes and graphic lines but are also good to live with,” he says. “We like our products to be friendly, and we do things that are rather rounded so you want to put your hands on them.”

SHELF LIFE

THE DESIGN INFLUENCERS BEHIND LOS ANGELES’ SIGNATURE AESTHETIC MAKE FOR PERFECT BOOKSHELF FODDER; HERE ARE FOUR EXCELLENT NEW ADDITIONS TO THE LITERARY DESIGN CANON IN SOCAL.

WILLIAM KRISEL’S PALM SPRINGS Chris Menrad and Heidi Creighton

THE WORLD OF CHARLES AND RAY EAMES Catherine Ince There aren’t many designers as distinctly synonymous with California as Charles and Ray Eames. While myriad books exist on the beloved design duo’s work, few encompass the private side that existed behind their superstar public personas as well as this tome. Editor Catherine Ince, a curator at London’s Barbican Art Gallery—which hosted a major exhibition developed in partnership with the Eames estate last October—offers an in-depth exploration of the important ideas and ideals that defined the Eames Office throughout its extraordinary history. In addition to a fresh selection of commissioned texts by leading design experts, the book also shares reviews and reveals magazine articles written by the Eameses themselves. rizzoliusa.com

HOLLYWOOD INTERIORS: STYLE AND DESIGN IN LOS ANGELES Anthony Iannacci There’s no doubt that, in Hollywood, status is king. And one of the best venues for conveying that status is through the home and its careful curation meant to express its owners’ personalities. This glossy book singles out 19 homes by a variety of Los Angeles-based architects and designers that capture the fiercely individualistic spirit that drives the city. Conveyed through more than 200 full-color images, the stately abodes range from a George H. Fruehling classic Spanish Revival home and new construction by icons such as Richard Meier & Partners Architects to midcentury residences by Harwell Hamilton Harris and John Lautner immaculately restored to glory. monacellipress.com

PAST PERFECT: RICHARD SHAPIRO HOUSES AND GARDENS Richard Shapiro with Mayer Rus A home is something that must be lovingly honed over time, a fact well-known by designer and antiques dealer Richard Shapiro. But most of us aren’t patient enough to slowly acquire items over a lifetime, or even generations, in order to achieve that “oldworld” aesthetic that inherited antiques convey. Instead, Shapiro demonstrates how to cultivate a similar style—whether you lean toward classic European charm or artifacts from far-flung lands— using his own two homes as examples. From replicating the aura of antiquity to addressing the task of integrating centuriesold building materials into new construction, Shapiro delves into his own experience as a designer to shed light on what, at first, might seem like a difficult task. rizzoliusa.com 124 / LUXESOURCE.COM

BLUEPRINT DREAM HOLLYWOOD

Los Angeles’ midcentury modern architecture is an essential part of the city’s quirky charm, a unique combination of California cool and Hollywood glamour. Channeling that breezy elegance, the Dream Hollywood hotel will soon add its own silhouette to the Los Angeles skyline with a chic Richard Neutra-inspired building by the Rockwell Group. Set to open this summer, the hotel— comprising 179 rooms and suites—is expected to become a hub for Hollywood’s elite, with five dining and nightlife venues within and near the hotel. Emphasizing a seamless visual connection between indoors and outdoors, the hotel will feature numerous living garden elements throughout, including strips of grass set between stone tile flooring and trellis-like hall dividers. Perhaps the most exciting element, however, is the sprawling 11,000-squarefoot rooftop, which will prove an enviable vantage point from which to take in stunning city views from its location at the corner of Selma Avenue and North Cahuenga Boulevard, between the Hollywood Hills and downtown Los Angeles. dreamhotels.com

Of the 40,000 residential structures built from architect William Krisel’s modernist designs, 1,500 are located in Palm Springs and Palm Desert. This is the first major monograph to comprehensively chronicle Krisel’s work and his overarching architectural and landscape philosophies, featuring enthralling insights curated from his own personal collection of papers combined with archival information from the Getty Research Institute. Complementing the architect’s drawings and renderings, an array of photographs help reveal the story behind his custom and mass-produced housing and his lauded career in general. gibbs-smith.com

TALKING SHOP WITH NICOLAS LIBERT

PLEASE DO NOT ENTER When did you open? Our very first guests were welcomed into our curated store at 549 S. Olive St. in April 2014. Why downtown L.A.? We simply fell in love with the area and its truly creative vibe. It also has the urban spirit and density that Los Angeles was missing for more than fi ve decades. Describe the space. Being an interior designer as well as a co-founder, Emmanuel Renoird designed the store. He conceived a bright, neutral yet elegant space that could be used equally for retail displays or art exhibitions. Lit monumental shelves and modular boxes serve as versatile displays. Please Do Not Enter shares its real commitment to art, fashion and design through ambitious exhibitions and genuine productions. It plays with an ambiguous and hybrid format, mixing classic retail and progressive art gallery. On the floor? Expect to fi nd a curated selection of rare pieces in fashion, art, design, accessories and books that are designed to be lived with and to inspire day after day. pleasedonotenter.com

CHRISTY MATSON AND JANE PALMER MATSON + PALMER United by a love for creating functional objects using fine-art techniques, Christy Matson and Jane Palmer of Matson + Palmer craft one-of-a-kind, naturally dyed, handwoven cashmere blankets and pillows. Conveying the story of each item is key to their creative process—and it helps if they can make a positive difference at the same time. Their chic wares blend traditional techniques with a modern aesthetic, using cashmere yarn hand-spun by a woman’s co-op in Afghanistan, helping those who have lost husbands in the war. Then there’s the alpaca wool used in their rugs, which comes from U.S. farms that are working hard to bring the fading industry back to the states. And keeping things local in the city they love, the duo also use surplus linen sourced from the Los Angeles denim industry. Producing everything by hand in their studio downtown, these ladies know the out-of-the-way locales and hidden gems that make the city great.

IN THE GRASS THE ROMANONES, 1976

The summer solstice is upon us, a time of year so effortlessly captured by the masterful eye of photographer Slim Aarons. His iconic lens conjures the season’s most glorious outdoor pastimes—such as afternoon tea during the golden hour and toes grazing the cool grass, as pictured in the Spanish garden shown—and have incited the following fresh selections.

Monaco’s storied beaches have long attracted the überchic, and for good reason: Nothing says summer like a lackadaisical lunch enjoyed seaside. Here, we channel the Côte d’Azur’s glistening waters and sandy coastlines, which call to mind accents and accessories that are as sophisticated as they are breezy.

to ROOM WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM THE FLORAL TEAM OF PUTNAM & PUTNAM, THE SEASON’S LATEST ACCENT TABLES ARE COMING UP ROSES. WRITTEN BY CARA GIBBS PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOANNA MCCLURE FLORAL ART BY PUTNAM & PUTNAM

JESSIE RANDALL

FASHION ACCESSORIES DESIGNER LOEFFLERRANDALL.COM

Like just about every other girl who works in fashion… I am obsessed with Putnam & Putnam. I love their work and the carefree, wild and beautiful compositions they create. These yellow flowers make me so happy and really highlight the beauty of Samuel Amoia’s tables. The muted, matte hues… And geometric shapes of the tables mixed with the straight lines really appeal to me—I love straight lines. These tables feel like sculpture. They remind me of a modern take on wainscoting, geometry and jewelry, and, for me, the color palette evokes the beach. I love the composition and the tension between opposite materials: In my work, I am drawn to exploring the contrast of masculine and feminine. I’m also married to my opposite! The tables feel... Matte, solid, geometric, bleached, modern. The composition is... Wild, contrasting, beautiful, happy.

GROW


INTO THE WILD

THE PIECE: Geometric Drum Tables THE DESIGNER: Samuel Amoia FIND IT: itzanahome.com THE INSPIRATION: Contrast is everything when it comes to design, and here, the collision of French Deco influences employed by Belizean artisanal techniques have resulted in a subtle impact of beauty and strength.


MARKET / SPOTLIGHT

BURGEONING IDEAS THE PIECE: Hunter + White Rock Salt and Burgundy + Red Rock THE DESIGNER: Fernando Mastrangelo FIND IT: m-material.com THE INSPIRATION: Function and beauty have long been the objects of desire for product designers and both are elements well within the possession of Fernando Mastrangelo’s sculptural tables that explore the shared language between materiality and shape.

SOPHIE HULME HANDBAG DESIGNER SOPHIEHULME.COM

I love Fernando Mastrangelo’s obvious focus on materials: I think when using beautiful materials it is important to let them shine and be the focus—that’s what makes these pieces so successful. The flower pairings… Do a marvelous job of both complementing and contrasting the two tables in the different colorways, and they really help to underscore the use of materials. Putnam & Putnam has an impressive aesthetic. Contrasting materials help to accentuate the beauty of the opposing items: The simplistic form combined with the beautiful color palette is design magic for the eye. In my work, we contrast shiny hardware with matte leathers, which I believe leads to beautiful results. I have an area in my house… With loads of plants and palms, and these pieces would look perfect there with greenery on them to soften the lines. The geometry of the tables… Are reminiscent of Bauhaus Bauspiel building blocks. Tables + Composition: Solid, honest, crisp, dense, structured.


EN PLEIN AIR THE PIECE: Faux Bois Twisted Juniper Side Table THE DESIGNER: George Sellers FIND IT: aretecollection.com THE INSPIRATION: Roots forged of plaster of Paris climb towards a modern angular tabletop, creating a side table with museum-worthy appeal.

LOIC LE GAILLARD AND JULIEN LOMBRAIL

GALLERY OWNERS CARPENTERSWORKSHOPGALLERY.COM

Meticulously crafted and almost a work of art itself… This table clearly draws inspiration from mythological symbolism. The contrast of the smooth tabletop and sinewy, organic form of the base is dramatic. When using flowers and plants to convey a design story... The result is often a visceral, sculptural moment. The floral installation’s organic air… Contrasts with the structural and somewhat rigid nature of the side table. The contrast is palpable, making for a very interesting conversation about materiality. This table is congruently a form of artistic expression and practical substance… A spirit embodied by the artists and designers at Carpenters Workshop Gallery. We appreciate Areté’s efforts to combine time-tested artisanal craftsmanship with cuttingedge design, something else that we also adhere to. Table + Composition: Balanced, textured, contextual, organic, adaptable.


MARKET / SPOTLIGHT

BLOOM TOWN THE PIECE: Ilary Monolithic Table THE DESIGNER: Jean-Marie Massaud FIND IT: poltronafrau.com THE INSPIRATION: Poltrona Frau is known for minimal lines and sleek furnishings, and following suit is the Ilary Monolithic table— composed of stately Grigio Roma marble left in a semi-gloss varnish.

MONICA KHEMSUROV AND JILL SINGER

ONLINE DESIGN PURVEYORS SIGHTUNSEEN.COM

This piece by Poltrona Frau is definitely in our wheelhouse: We love the artistic point of view. We are drawn to this table because of its appealingly sculptural shape… As well as its intriguing sense of balance and its monolithic composition. We’re all for risks—we hate boring: The risk here is in the weight, but also the shape. It’s not conventional, and it tips back at the top, playing with balance in a really artistic way. The side table and the floral art seem to share a similar DNA: The table is a classic material rendered in an unexpected shape; the floral art takes roses, a perennial classic, and gives them a fresher, more modern spin by virtue of a lessstructured, more freeform arrangement. Nature and flowers infuse a softer, organic element… Into a space, which often serves as a lovely contrast to the more rigid lines of furniture or art. Contrast is critical for a good interior: When everything looks the same, you have a catalog, not a home. We could never live like that. The human eye instinctively craves contrast in both art and design, no question; it’s innate. Table + Composition: Sculptural, delicate, balanced, elegant, neoclassical.

The pieces Holly Hunt chooses to represent always push the boundaries‌ In terms of structure and material, yet they do a great job of practicing restraint and keeping their designs clean and simple. Nature inspires art: This unfettered arrangement complements the organic design of the table, and the two immediately take us on a ride through the English countryside. There is a softness and a romance to this arrangement: I love the fresh yellows and whites, and how these hues add a rich contrast to the organic wood table. This piece allows the material to take center stage: It keeps the integrity of the grain, the coloring, even the actual shape of the walnut wood. And it does so in a refined, sophisticated manner. Whenever you combine two unexpected design details‌ You add some intrigue, some mystery. Table + Composition: Romantic meets rustic, natural, structured yet untamed.

FLORA FLAUNT THE PIECE: Twig Branch Table THE DESIGNER: George Massar for Gregorius Pineo FIND IT: gregoriuspineo.com; hollyhunt.com THE INSPIRATION: As if rooted to the ground in which its placed, the Twig Branch table is lively and playfully complex, assembled of composite stone to make it agreeable both inside and out.

GROWTH SPURT THE PIECE: Domicile G Stool THE DESIGNER: Michael Vanderbyl FIND IT: bolierco.com THE INSPIRATION: Eliciting notes of midcentury modern design with an inflection on African folk art, the Domicile G stool is a mellifluous blend of contemporary and traditional cultures.

ANNA BOND

ARTIST AND PRODUCT DESIGNER RIFLEPAPERCO.COM

I love a unique accent table that is both beautiful and functional… And Bolier creates quality pieces that are refined and distinctive. I also absolutely adore Putnam & Putnam… And the florals here look incredible. The juxtaposition of the delicate flowers seemingly growing alongside such a strong piece of furniture is so extraordinary. The best results come from combining opposites or creating unexpected pairings: I am always doing this in my own work and in my home. For example, I love pairing minimal, modern designs with ornate Middle Eastern antiques. The Domicile stool makes a strong statement, proving to be both timeless and minimal: That’s always the combination that I am looking for as a creative. Perfect symmetry: There is something both worldly and familiar about the balance of this table. It reminds me of something that would have been in my grandmother’s home… Which was a huge influence on me. It was refined, midcentury and filled with antiques from her travels around the world. The table feels... Natural, polished, wooden, symmetrical, curved. The composition is... Strong, sophisticated, modern, inspired, classic.

THE HOME’S MOST HISTORICALLY PRIVATE ROOMS LET DOWN THEIR GUARD—AND THEIR WALLS—AND LET IT ALL HANG OUT. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

178 / LUXESOURCE.COM

Much has been said about the kitchen and bathroom’s slow and elegant rise from cramped, confined spaces hidden away from the rest of the home to masters of their domain—stunning jewel boxes that have become fast favorites for long-time inhabitants and guests alike. So, perhaps, it’s a natural progression that these handsome rooms have gone a step further in their evolution: knocking down not only their walls to the rest of the home— thanks to open living and fluid en suite floor plans—but also to the great outdoors. The results are spaces that have relied on exciting entries into the marketplace, such as new super-durable countertop and cabinet materials meant to withstand excessive sunlight and wear, and pocketing doors and windows that make preexisting boundaries all but melt away, to completely redefine tradition. Here, Luxe takes a look at kitchens and baths that work hard and play harder (SPF required).

GLASS ACT When designers Maria von Hartz and Annie Fitzgerald of Los Angeles-based Von Fitz Design tackled this kitchen for a family with a love of entertaining, they knew it would be a mistake to not capitalize on the sunny Southern California climate. So, they created a stunning automated window in the kitchen that can be controlled via remote and is designed to disappear during casual family lunches or cocktail parties, creating a stunning area of interest both inside and out. vonfitzdesign.com

Just when it feels like renowned architect David Rockwell is doing it all—think signature hotels, single-family homes, set design for Broadway giants like Hairspray and Kinky Boots, and even JetBlue’s impressive terminal at JFK International Airport—he announces a new project. And, in the case of his recent collaboration with the cooking maestros at Caliber Appliances, the Rockwell by Caliber Grill, he proves his innovation cannot be limited by genre. The grill, designed to encourage socialization, features a drop-down lid for 360-degree interaction and red-hot good looks to boot. caliberappliances.com

WONDER WALLS

There are only two options when designing a new addition to a centuries-old home: stick with and respect the structure’s original architecture and choose materials that are consistent within its historical context or break the rules in a complete departure. In the case of the majorly modern remix of an 18 th-century British cottage shown here, it’s evident designer Alex Saint of Kitchen Architecture went with the latter. Saint built a clean, contemporary kitchen sporting Bulthaup cabinets in a steel-framed glass box with doors that slide open onto a quaint cobblestone patio perfect for enjoying a spot of tea. kitchenarchitecture.co.uk 180 / LUXESOURCE.COM

NATURAL

Driftwood-hued flooring and lots of glass and natural light make this beautiful Malibu bathroom by designer Vanessa Alexander feel like a grown-up (and super-luxurious) tree house. In this space, it’s more about what isn’t there than about what is; everything is stripped down to its bare essentials. There are no walls separating the bath area from the master bedroom, and white walls, a white tub and a white vanity allow the texture of the wood and different finishes to speak and keep the attention on what really matters: the bold, blue water views throughout. alexanderdb.com

SWIM FAN An outdoor shower sans privacy walls that then gets perched on the side of a cliff with expansive views isn’t for the shy or timid; but, luckily, neither is the CB406 fitted shower column from MGS. The faucet’s sleek and sexy lines were drawn for impact, and it delivers just that, thanks to its textural, knurled details, slightly slanted handles and an elegantly curved spout—available in both brushed or polished stainless-steel finishes. mgstaps.com

SET THE TONE SERENA & LILY

No dinner party is complete without pretty table linens. Fine textiles can transform a table from casual to formal and back again, adding an element of the tailored and well-planned to even the most impromptu gathering.

INSPIRED DESIGN

Taking its design cues from the gentle, fluid motion of water, WetStyle’s Image-In collection Water tub features a graceful motif drawn in a matte application over the True High Gloss finish of the tub, which has been deliberately crafted from the company’s signature Wetmar Bio thermo-insulating material. The subtle design, illustrated by art director Jean Lacroix, helps the tub to act like a subtle piece of art in the bathroom and keeps thoughts of nature close to heart. wetstyle.ca

192 / LUXESOURCE.COM

THE CHALLENGE: Create a full renovation and refresh for a full-of-potential, but dated, 1971 ranch house off Mulholland Drive that was recently acquired by a Hollywood producer. THE WORK: Architect Amelia Stephenson and the interior design team of Todd Nickey and Amy Kehoe were hired for strategic editing. “It was incredible how the house didn’t capitalize on the view,” says Stephenson. The panoramic, classic L.A. vista of the San Fernando Valley had to be glimpsed through “undersized and frame-heavy” openings. The team removed interior walls and exposed the

back of the house to the landscape. Designer Nancy Heller transformed the grounds into lush tropical havens, put in “as much greenery as possible,” and added a fireside seating area, all perched dramatically on the edge of the Valley. THE RESULT: Nickey and Kehoe layered on what Kehoe describes as “earthy elegance,” bringing in Pigalle lounge chairs from Janus et Cie to face a sofa from Malibu Market & Design, with colorful woven poufs from Serena & Lily. “Some open-plan living areas can feel cold, but this one exudes warmth,” says Nickey.

THE CHALLENGE: Create a fashionable yet cozy Mediterraneanstyle abode for a small family—in a city like Los Angeles, where drama is a prized commodity. THE WORK: Enter designer Estee Stanley, a celebrity stylist who creates equally fashionable residences through her interior design firm. Stanley implicitly understood her clients’ desire for merging theatricality with approachability. That said, drama is nothing if not tricky. Stanley cleverly composed a palette of finishes that comes from nature and left the drama to a select few touches that really pack a punch. It all starts with the entry courtyard, where sculpted hedges and a water feature set a formal tone, while stone frog statues from Inner Gardens lend a whimsical touch. A teak gate offers a warm counterpoint to the concrete pavers. THE RESULT: From inside to out, the home exudes the clearest manifestation of down-toearth indulgence. Stanley pulled off the task thanks to her keen intuition for designs that strike a balance between gorgeous and practical. “I really try to make every space beautiful, and maybe even sexy, but above all, livable,” says Stanley. 194 / LUXESOURCE.COM

TUSCAN DREAM THE DESIGN TEAM: Architecture / Appleton & Associates, Inc. Interior Design / Philip Nimmo & Company, Inc. Home Builder / Tyler Development Corporation Landscape Architecture / Clark and White Landscape

196 / LUXESOURCE.COM

THE CHALLENGE: Site and design a gracious Italian-style residence on the Malibu coast that is reminiscent of a Tuscan farmhouse, with views of the Queen’s Necklace. THE WORK: The couple called Appleton & Associates, a firm whose projects are recognized for their sensitive contextual style, and hired architect Paul Williger, who was working at the firm at the time. Wanting to add a few surprising layers, Williger oriented the structure to frame the Pacific, but sited it so that as the owners approach the ocean-side façade, they are redirected through two onestory garage pavilions, a motor court and then a lush entry garden. In addition to the careful siting, working with materials and proportions

that felt authentic was crucial. “A lot of people build Mediterranean houses that don’t look right because they get the proportions and finishes wrong,” explains the husband. Williger scaled the structure so that “it’s convincing, without being overwhelming,” says the architect, who also “built patina into the house” by using recycled terra-cotta roof tiles, antique pavers and about 140 reclaimed barn timbers. THE RESULT: The home’s siting and authentic materials and proportions were key, particularly given the voluminous size of the structure. “The architecture, in its purity, allowed for creative license with the interior design,” says designer Philip Nimmo. “It’s not contrived at all.”

Today’s outdoor kitchens have come a long way from their modest iron-grill-over-an-opencharcoal-flame beginnings. Companies like Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet are committed to creating full al fresco kitchen appliance packages that mirror their interior rivals— offering everything from outdoor grills and pizza ovens to smoker cabinets and beverage centers. The result? Spaces as gorgeous and well-thought-out as this party-ready Coral Gables, Florida, outpost featuring the brand’s Hybrid Fire built-in grill, wall-mounted ventilation hood and double cooktop cabinet with power wok burner, among many others. kalamazoogourmet.com

When San Francisco landscape architect Brian Koch of Terra Ferma Landscapes first stepped onto a heavily wooded property in the heart of Silicon Valley, he saw past the disjointed skeleton of the existing landscape to the verdant oasis it could become. Before he could begin developing the plant palette, however, he had to lay his groundwork: transforming the outdoor spaces into a series of open rooms, which would move easily from one to the next with the help of meticulously planned hardscaping. “We chose Pennsylvania bluestone for the hardscaping for its variations in color and tones, as well as its versatility,” says Koch. “We used it to build solid benches, pool coping, barbeque slabs, single-slab stair treads and the signature step pads throughout the garden and property.” tflandscapes.com

PARTY

The traditional architecture of this bucolic estate in California’s Pacific Palisades called for the same sense of classicism to be carried through to its outdoor spaces, a challenge that designer Tim Campbell took in stride. Outfitting the stately patio with plenty of delicately potted plants and Shaker-style furnishings lends the space a decidedly timeless feel, while creating distinct areas for dining and relaxation ensures it’s the ideal escape any time of day. studiotimcampbell.com

THRILL OF THE

CHAISE

For renowned San Francisco interior designer Suzanne Tucker, there’s no one who better understands the relationship between interiors and exteriors than the legendary Michael Taylor Designs. So, when the company’s owner, Lee Pierce, reached out about a collaboration, she was sold. Here, Tucker talks legacy, lifestyle and her love of the great outdoors. suzannetuckerhome.com; michaeltaylordesigns.com

Why branch into outdoor furniture? I have always taken a holistic approach to the design of indoor and outdoor spaces: They are inextricably linked and should flow naturally. Outdoor furniture has become as important as what you find inside and far more versatile and stylish than before, so I set out to design a collection that is not only of outstanding quality in materials, craftsmanship and comfort, but also with an aesthetic suitable for a wide variety of design styles. What was your vision for the collection? I was inspired by the Santa Barbara lifestyle, which is casual yet chic. “La dolce vita” is a way of life in Santa Barbara that pervades every aspect of this wonderful place: from the iconic architecture and lush gardens to the seductive scents in the air and the rather magical quality of light. Share why you opted for teak and wicker. Teak is a natural choice for outdoor furniture because of its durability. Its high oil content serves as Mother Nature’s weatherproofing, ensuring your pieces will last year after year. When combined with a handwoven, easy-care resin wicker, I’m able to emphasize the indoor/outdoor look of the line.

TAKE SHELTER

To expand the home’s usable footprint, architects are focusing their energies outdoors more and more—turning patios into veritable outside living rooms with interesting structural components that make them every bit as impressive as their interior counterparts. In the case of this Berkeley Hills, California, home by architect Charles Debbas, a canopy made of steel I-beams and rice husk resin-fiber planks sets the tone for a coveted patio. “My initial vision for the garden was for it to act as an outdoor ‘home away from home,’ ” says Debbas. “At night, the enclosed feel of the space allows the linear fireplace to reflect its glow on the flooring below, providing a very intimate setting in an otherwise expansive garden.” debbasarchitecture.com

While the materials experts at Eldorado Stone have long been celebrated for their beautiful natural and manufactured architectural veneers, the company’s commitment to creating memorable spaces doesn’t end with façades or fireplace surrounds. One of their more recent entries, a collection of handcrafted fire bowls—like the Infinite Artisan fire bowl shown here—speaks to stone’s versatility, as the material does more than bring texture in construction applications; it brings texture to life, creating compulsively communal gathering spots especially tailored for s’mores lovers. eldoradostone.com

What truly makes outdoor spaces exceptional isn’t just natural beauty; though, it’s hard to think of a more serene scene than a private pool secreted away behind extra-tall hedges, like in this handsome setting designed by Los Angeles’ Schuyler Samperton.

REFINED LIVING IN THE

ALFRESCO ENVIRONMENT With its moderate climate, stunning vistas and varied landscape, Southern California has become a residential paradise in which homeowners spend ample time outdoors. As such, the area’s design professionals are experts at meeting the unique requirements of outdoor living: customization, function, versatility and durability. Read on, and discover today’s most prevalent outdoor trends from those who create them.

DANA CREATH At Newport Beach-based Dana Creath, custom is a daily endeavor. According to the lighting manufacturer’s president and founder, Dana Creath, custom designs are available upon request to suit the look and feel of any outdoor space. Having provided designers, architects and builders nationwide with handmade iron lighting for more than 48 years, the company’s professionals have ample experience in overcoming the unique demands presented by each client’s environment. Creath advises homeowners to be cognizant of the elements. “With the trend for covered outdoor living spaces, modifying interior fixtures for exterior use has become more popular,” he says. “Applying tropical coating and using porcelain sockets makes the fixtures suitable for damp locations.” 1

MATERIAL OF CHOICE: ZINC “Our tropical coating rust inhibitor prevents outdoor fixtures from rusting, allowing our products to last as long as the structures they adorn,” Creath says. Metalizing, the process by which this durability is achieved, includes spraying molten zinc onto a sandblasted metal substrate, giving it a galvanic eggshell barrier. The zinc will not rust, cannot be scratched and provides an excellent adhesion for topcoats. “Tests have shown that after 40 years of exposure to the elements, our fixtures show no sign of deterioration,” Creath says. “When you add our tropical coating, our exterior lanterns become virtually bulletproof and will withstand the test of time.” 1.

FAMOSA The design of an outdoor space often relies on durable, functional surfaces. Enter Famosa, a stone and tile company known for its highquality mosaics, porcelains, marbles and granites, all of which are on display in its state-of-the-art showroom. “We source from all around the world: Spain, Italy, Morocco and even remote parts of Asia,” says founder and CEO Josiah Lilly. Sales director Vanessa Becking adds that her advice to clients beginning an outdoor project is to pay attention to how the interior flows into the exterior, particularly in regard to flooring. “It’s important to have a cohesive style connect the areas as one living space,” she says. “It is key for us to understand the homeowner’s lifestyle. We ask clients what is important to them and their lifestyle. If low maintenance is a priority, then we know to use certain materials to accomplish that while giving them the look they want.”

SURFACING THE OUTDOORS: A CONVERSATION WITH JOSIAH LILLY AND VANESSA BECKING Of all your products, which is your favorite and why? On a recent trip to Italy, we found some amazing chaise lounges carved from solid Italian granite. It’s like having Italian pieces of art that just happen to be comfortable seating as well. We now have them on display at Famosa. How have things changed in your industry in the past 10 years? The technology being used in the production of porcelain tile has changed the game. You can now have the texture and color variation of natural wood in a product that doesn’t need to be sealed and is virtually maintenance-free, which makes it ideal for exterior use. 1

Since we are blessed to live in such a great climate, indoor-outdoor spaces are a must.

GIATI DESIGNS When it comes to outdoor living, furnishings that achieve both high design and durability are crucial. Enter luxury outdoor furniture and textiles company Giati Designs. Known for exceptional quality in craftsmanship and incomparable service, the firm offers an array of products pertaining to the alfresco living environment. President Ken Schindler explains the company’s approach. “To say we are detailoriented would be an understatement,” Schindler says. “Our designers are mindful of the details and believe every element should be carefully considered. Some may call it irrelevant or insignificant. We call it superior design.” It is one such detail that Schindler points to as being crucial to the successful creation and long-term enjoyment of open-air spaces. “Invest in quality covers,” he says. “There is nothing worse than recovering from a harsh winter only to find beautiful outdoor furniture destroyed.”

GINA B & COMPANY “Custom is what we do best,” says Gina B & Company president Robert Spurlock. He and COO Rob Hendrix go on to explain that each piece is made to the client’s exact specifications, from size to material to color. Specializing in a full array of both indoor and outdoor furniture and textiles, Spurlock, Hendrix and their team are well versed in the unique demands of this niche in the industry. “An outdoor space, first and foremost, should be comfortable,” Spurlock says. “Upholstered cushions and plenty of throw pillows can make the space very inviting. You can add personality and color with flowers, plants, art and accessories.” Asked to advise homeowners beginning an outdoor project, Hendrix points to the blending of indoors and out as key. “To create a successful design you must have intention and a grand vision,” he says. “You can’t demonstrate continuity if all the pieces of the puzzle don’t fit. Without a cohesive design, it’s not aesthetically pleasing.”

SOUTHWINDS Whether creating prescriptive outdoor living spaces or developing access to nutrient-rich produce, Frank Berry spends his time understanding the natural world and enriching the lives of those around him. The principal of Irvine-based landscaping company Southwinds, Berry’s expertise in both landscape design and regenerative agriculture informs his work. “Our mission is to educate and beautify while creating spaces that whisk homeowners from their busy lives. We artfully blend elegant design with functional gardens, both ornamental and edible,” Berry says. “Our offices are a great example. We repurposed shipping containers to create a relaxed work environment that allows our employees to feel as if they are working outdoors.” Berry’s design philosophy prioritizes the natural world and brings it into every aspect of a homeowner’s life, from stunning vistas perfectly framed by well-articulated landscaping to transformative backyard gardens that provide a sumptuous meal made with the finest homegrown ingredients.

Our goal is to encourage beautiful, sustainable and healthy living.

REGENERATIVE GARDENING A new kind of urban food production, termed hydro-organic gardening by Berry’s team, has been proven to provide the nutrient-dense foods difficult to find in today’s conventional food distribution systems. Less water and fertilizer produce greens, herbs, vegetables and fruits in a fraction of the space. The method also provides an element of control, making it a low-maintenance option. “Hydro-organic gardening is of prime importance to me because it delivers the nutrients that are missing in most of our food today, which equates to feeling better and living a longer, disease-free life,” Berry says.

We want to create five-star resort living in anyone’s backyard.”

DAVIDSON- SHORE LUXERY HOMEBUILDING & DEVELOPMENT Orange County | Coastal Communities | Newport Beach | Beverly Hills | Palm Desert


When asked to name the best part of building original custom homes throughout prestigious communities in Southern California, Steve Davidson doesn’t hesitate. “It’s the connection I make with people,” says the founder of Davidson-Shore. “Creating a lasting bond with clients is of utmost importance to me.” Over the past 30 years, Davidson and his experienced team of specialists have created more than just enduring client bonds. The Tustin-based firm has helped to change the regional residential landscape with inspired, sustainable and timeless home building that can honor any number of architectural styles while bringing each new homeowner’s dream to fruition. Davidson-Shore accomplishes this with a dedicated and exclusive group of artisans, construction experts and interior designers that provide unrivaled customer service and detail-oriented execution. “Our creative process begins with the unique vision of the clients,” Davidson says. “We collaborate with architects and designers to further develop the concept. This process is complex and continues to evolve throughout the construction of the residence. But by establishing the team early, it encourages creativity and establishes a realistic approach to the execution of the design.” Davidson, whose grandfather was a home builder in upstate New York, launched his firm in 1974, focusing primarily on duplex homes in the Dana Point area. After gravitating toward single-family projects for a period, the company shifted to custom homes for high-end clients during the 1990s. Today, Davidson-Shore creates residential masterpieces for only the most discerning clients.

HIGH DRAMA DISTINCTIVE FURNISHINGS AND INFUSIONS OF RICH COLOR SERVE AS A BOLD COUNTERPOINT TO A SAN DIEGO HOME’S STRONG MEDITERRANEAN-INFLECTED ARCHITECTURE. WRITTEN BY LAURA MAUK / PHOTOGRAPHY BY KARYN MILLET

In the living area of a San Diego home, designer Helene Ziman hung a vibrant photograph by Michele Zousmer above one of the space’s custom sofas. A petrified-woodtopped table by Phillips Collection offsets a custom wing chair, while a starburst pendant and bronze lamps—all by Arteriors—as well as a custom coffee table, lend sculptural notes. The wool carpet is from Kravet.

H

aving a penchant for drama isn’t necessarily a bad thing—especially when it comes to creating someone’s dream home. “Each room has to have something powerful that pulls you in,” says designer Helene Ziman. “You should walk into a space and get a punch of bright color, rich texture or unique form that you want to touch or that you can’t stop looking at.” When Ziman’s clients were searching for properties in the San Diego area to build the home they envisioned, it was the view from a Santaluz hilltop that they couldn’t stop looking at. “We stood on this lot and we could see green landscape and ocean, and we knew this was it,” says the wife. Adds the husband: “We wanted to be close to Los Angeles because my extended family is there, but we like the more relaxed feel of San Diego.” After finding their ideal locale, the couple purchased the parcel and enlisted Denver-based architect Kirk Mason to design a house that would be as impressive as the view that captivated them. “I did a gently curving floor plan that embraces that view,” says Mason, a veteran of other projects in the neighborhood. “It’s a modified H-shaped plan, where the crossbar of the ‘H’ has a slight bend.” The house’s front façade features Ticino stone, in variegated shades of buff, that gives the rustic and romantic feeling of old-world architecture. “The community has guidelines in terms of building style,” says the architect. “This house is rural Mediterranean and fits within their vernacular, but it also has plenty of glass on the backside that is more modern and enables indoor-outdoor living.” Once the massive walnut front doors open, the eye goes past the entry through the living and dining areas at the rear of the house to the infinity-edge pool and the Pacific Ocean beyond. “Those rooms flow right out into the landscape,” says builder Mark Agee of the home’s contemporary impulse

Architect Kirk Mason incorporated a vaulted ceiling and added a wall of glass doors, from Southland Windows, to bring sunlight into the home. Ziman placed a one-of-a-kind wood sculpture atop a massive petrified-wood console by Phillips Collection that separates the living and dining areas and adds an organic dimension to the space.

Custom chairs surround a reclaimed-wood-andmetal table by Artifacts International in the dining area. Crowning the ensemble is a starburst pendant by Arteriors. A console by Noir with carved spikes, a custom mirror and a rug from Carlton Hardwood Flooring complete the space.


Leather-upholstered Charter Furniture barstools pull up to an island topped with granite from Tutto Marmo and lit by Hinkley Lighting pendants.

to connect inside and out. “But the house also has very authentic references, too. During the design, Kirk traveled to Italy and brought back documentation of historical homes to incorporate in, as well.” Landscape architects Brian Grove and Gary Stone underscored the rural Mediterranean aspect of the house by planting ancient olive trees around the entrance. “They’re fieldgrown and their trunks are gnarly,” says Grove. “I also flanked the walkway with bubbling water features made from the same stone as the house.” Ziman’s concept for the interiors is as stunning as the scenery that can be glimpsed from every room. “I typically like to exhaust myself searching for dramatic or unique things,” she says. “This house needed those bursts of energy to stand up to its strong architecture

and views.” The clients, too, craved drama. “We didn’t want a house that looked like everybody else’s,” the wife shares. So, the designer infused the interiors with as many compelling textures and forms as she could. For example, a large custom mirror, framed on two sides with stacked-wood blocks, hangs above a console alive with wood spikes. An enormous petrified-wood console is sinuous in shape and separates the dining and living areas. Suspended in the stairwell, a large nest-like pendant adds a sculptural element, and smaller pendants with shapes reminiscent of sea urchins hover above the master bedroom’s nightstands. “It’s important to do natural elements and pull the outside in,” Ziman says. “I found organic things that are complex, and each time you look at them you see something different.”

Red vinyl embossed with an animal print on the banquette and a coral Arteriors chandelier create an eyecatching vignette in the kitchen’s breakfast nook. Brownstone chairs gather at a reclaimed-wood table from CFC. Schumacher fabric in a graphic pattern swathes the cornice.

Pink-glazed linen covers the custom armchairs that face a desk and chair, both from Cantoni, in the wife’s office. A hide rug from Garrett Leather and a credenza from Brownstone join the scene. Smith Shade fabricated the woven window coverings.


Set against an Innovations wallcovering with a woodlike appearance, the custom headboard and upholstered bed anchor the master bedroom. Arteriors pendants, above Noir bedside tables, and a Palecek floor lamp provide eye-catching lighting elements. Drapery fabric from Pindler accented with Schumacher trim offsets views glimpsed from the Lazar chaise.

To keep the focus on the bold pieces she selected, Ziman maintained a primarily calm palette of neutral tones for the rooms yet judiciously applied strokes of brilliance. “I think you need color every once in a while,” says the designer, who upholstered armchairs in the wife’s office with hot pink-glazed linen. Additionally, she covered a banquette in the kitchen’s breakfast nook with bright red embossed faux leather and hung a whimsical red coral pendant above. In the husband’s recording studio—designed by David Tessier of Denver-based The Sonic Edge—Ziman brought in furnishings in red, orange, citrus yellow and apple green shades. A large photograph in the living area is another bold presentation of color. “It’s an image of Ethiopian children taken by my friend Michele Zousmer,” Ziman says. 256 / LUXESOURCE.COM

“It’s so vibrant you feel like you can reach out and touch the yellow flowers and the purple fabric the girl is wearing.” Additional artworks throughout the house are equally engaging: There are intricately carved African sculptures and a special collage by artist Beau Carney hanging in a hallway. “I had a desk that was my father’s before he passed away,” the wife says. “Helene surprised me by turning it into sculpture. It’s carved with all the things that remind me of him. When I first saw it, it took my breath away.” Now, her new home, and it’s expansive view, takes her breath away on a daily basis. “When we open the front door and are able to see all the way through the house to the ocean, it’s just amazing,” she says. “We wanted drama, and that’s exactly what we got.”

WITH THEIR CHIC LINE OF FURNISHINGS AND A SHOP BRIMMING WITH NEW AND VINTAGE FINDS, A COSTA MESA COUPLE BRING A VIBRANT DIMENSION TO THE ORANGE COUNTY DESIGN SCENE. WRITTEN BY LAURA MORGAN / PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC STONER

I

t’s not hard to imagine one of Charlie’s Angels reclining on a Haskell Series 9 chaise. But Costa Mesa-based Andrew Stoneman and Laura Haskell’s supremely stylish collection of furniture—think sleek lines and retro vibes—doesn’t just conjure that 1970s-era grooviness, it’s pulled distinctly into the now with its use of quality recycled, sustainable and locally fabricated materials. “We wanted to create an heirloom product,” says Stoneman, “something that is fun and flexible, but that you can be proud to hand down.” The couple founded Haskell in 2008, capitalizing on their experience in a range of fields. Stoneman’s background is in architectural and engineering sales, and he is also wellversed in steel (indeed, many of Haskell’s outdoor pieces use the metal) and exhibit design. Haskell is a fabric whisperer with a fashion degree, and has sourced materials for clients ranging from Paul Smith to Donna Karan. Dissatisfied by the furniture offerings available for their own yard, they decided to take matters into their own hands. “I didn’t want to spend a million dollars on a vintage chaise,” Stoneman says, “so I thought, ‘I’ll make something I like more and do it with domestic materials.’ ” Today, Stoneman spends much of his time in the couple’s fabrication shop designing, building and perfecting their pieces—coming soon is an adult-friendly beanbag that Haskell is particularly excited about. Meanwhile, Haskell sources goods, refurbishes furniture and minds their slightly off-the-beaten-path retail outpost, a wood-clad former farmhouse tucked behind a commercial building on 17th Street. The boutique’s eclectic-chic merchandise “draws on our multicultural and multiregional life experiences,” says Haskell—bringing a vibrant spirit to the Orange County design scene and the many fans that come along with it. And the reasons are in plain view, as the store serves as a conduit for their services and caters to residential and commercial customers looking for special pieces or custom builds. Clients are also falling for the shop’s modern-hippy wares including locally made ceramics, vintage fashion and global textiles. Says Haskell, “You can walk in with $20 and walk out with something beautiful.” Sold. 260 / LUXESOURCE.COM

BEACH MODERN CRISP LINES MAKE FOR A STYLISH OCEANSIDE SPOT FOR WEEKEND GETAWAYS ON A RARE MALIBU LOCATION OVERLOOKING THE PACIFIC. WRITTEN BY JENNIFER SERGENT / PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERHARD PFEIFFER

ARCHITECTURE / RICHARD MANION, RICHARD MANION ARCHITECTURE HOME BUILDER / RICK HOLZ, RICHARD HOLZ INC. LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE / MARK BEALL, MARK BEALL & ASSOCIATES


A

stylistic hodgepodge of a house on a desirable stretch of Malibu beach had little in the way of aesthetics to offer architect Richard Manion’s clients, who were on the hunt for a weekend retreat. The expansive footprint and existing pool, however, proved irresistible, so the couple turned to Manion to help them create a minimalist getaway. In contrast to their more traditional New England-style residence in Los Angeles, also designed by Manion, “We all wanted to explore a contemporary vocabulary from the start that would be clean, warm and inviting,” he says. The challenges along the way were numerous, including a steeply sloping and skinny lot, height limitations to protect

neighbors’ beach views, a footprint dictated by the existing house, and a public beach-access path that ran down the side of the property—not to mention aging plumbing systems near the water that had to be replaced and moved closer to the street. To begin the project, Manion and his team gutted everything. The guiding principle thereafter was “the idea of a very pure, modern shape with the interest being in the geometry,” he notes. The L-shaped plan wraps around the pool and spa, with the views from the living room and master bedroom above focusing on a peninsula in the distance. The approach plays well to what he aimed to achieve: an elegant yet opaque mass at the street level LUXESOURCE.COM / 263



In the dining area of a Malibu beach house—reimagined by architect Richard Manion—Pierre Jeanneret’s circa-1950s Committee chairs surround a custom Corian table from Wise Living. Builder Rick Holz had his team slice limestone into flagstone-shaped tiles for a seamless transition between the indoors and the terrace beyond.

that hides its surprises. “We wanted the front of the house to be very monumental, very solid and very dense,” says the architect. The solid walls screen a neighbor to one side, and landscape architect Mark Beall installed a ficus hedge on the other side that conceals the property from the public beach path. “In the back, we wanted it to be the opposite— as much glass as possible to take in the views,” adds Manion. The nearly all-steel framing allowed the architect to create entire walls of glass that nonetheless meet strict earthquake codes. The resulting glass doors lift and stack along each end of every façade, offering access to the outdoors, erasing boundaries between inside and out. Manion’s introduction to the interior starts off as more enclosed and secretive, not revealing the knockout view yet to come. It begins with a breathtaking atrium in the foyer, where a skylight sends light spilling down a curving staircase. “The staircase kind of floats in that three-story cavity and just attaches where necessary,” says builder Rick Holz. From there, Manion conceived the house as a progression from one moment to the next, where nothing is revealed all at once. “A lot of what we discussed was how things unfold as you walk through the house,” says the wife. “It’s all about how you experience the home in different ways.” A hallway from the foyer, for example, leads to the prize: a split-level living, dining and family room with limestone floors that continue out to a beachside terrace through glass walls, some topping nearly 10 feet and almost disappearing when pulled back. “We spend almost all of our time there with all the doors open,” the wife says.

Two Pierre Jeanneret stools— originally from India’s Punjab University and purchased through Phillips in New York—and a pair of 1950s French stools with woven seats from Wright in Chicago temper the sleek Bulthaup kitchen with their more organic feel. The ovens are by Miele, and the cooktop is Gaggenau.

The warm, creamy stucco on the home’s exterior seamlessly flows inside with plaster colored to match, so none of the walls were painted. “It has this great modernistic simplicity, but it’s not cold like a museum— it’s warm and soft,” Manion says. Against this backdrop, furnishings by such 20th-century masters as Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé, Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret fill the home. They look utterly of the moment within Manion’s starkly modern context. And although the walls and floors evoke the color of sand, the rest of the palette takes its cues from the landscape. As the wife puts it, “I like the juxtaposition of the beach setting against our contemporary home and furnishings.” Beall made sure the exterior landscape spoke the same modern, elegantly spare language as the rest of the home. There was little he could plant in the ground because of the pool and terrace in back and the plumbing infrastructure underneath the driveway in front, so instead he devised a series of highly sculptural living vignettes in pots by Belgium-based Atelier Vierkant. Beall explored a variety of options before he came up with the right plants that were both shapely and sturdy amid the salty ocean breeze. “Keeping the modern theme going with these beautiful pots and textural plants was the direction we wanted to go,” says Beall. Manion credits all the site’s challenges—in addition to the lengthy permitting process and coastal storms that interrupted construction more than once—for bringing out the best in all the members of the design team. “It was a very unusual opportunity for us,” he says. “But we were all so excited by what we were able to make of it.”

EYE CANDY OPTING FOR UNEXPECTED MATERIALS AND SURREAL SILHOUETTES, A LOS ANGELES ARTIST RESHAPES THE BOUNDARIES OF A DIVERSE CREATIVE PRACTICE. WRITTEN BY MIMI FAUCETT / PHOTOGRAPHY BY JIM NEWBERRY



Los Angeles artist and designer Elyse Graham (opposite, top) demonstrates the process of crafting her playful vases by pouring liquid plaster into a balloon, which serves as a mold; a work in progress (below) rests on a table in the studio. Graham adds the finishing touches to a piece (left). Notes, sketches and fragments (opposite, bottom) fill a surface in the studio.

M

y background is in sculpture and my art-and-design practice has always been based on experimentation and play,” says Los Angeles-based artist and designer Elyse Graham. Spurred by a desire to create more accessible work, Graham’s portfolio has now expanded to include functional objects for the home. “I knew I didn’t want to make pieces that would be sequestered to storage or shelved in my studio,” she says. Graham’s wares are characterized by an evolving variation of off-kilter shapes in a spectrum of vibrating neon hues and saturated pastels, and her process is as playful as the many candy-colored shades. In her Drip series, for instance, Graham uses a balloon as a mold to manipulate plaster into an eggshell-thin, hollow form, and then fills that shape with resin allowing it to drip from the vase’s opening. “I love working with materials in new ways,” she explains. “I’d already been experimenting with balloons in my art practice, and the idea for the vases came as I challenged myself to

make a functional object using the techniques and materials I employ in my art making.” Until recently, Graham had produced her work in-house—her downtown Los Angeles studio includes a ventilated resin room—but lately, the artist has begun pushing her practice further, taking her existing forms to a foundry to create special edition cast-bronze pieces. “This process of experimentation, although often rife with failures, leads to my most interesting work,” she notes. Her range of collections, now boasting a newly introduced group of pendants and sconces, intentionally remains in conversation with one another, by way of seductive materiality and imaginative silhouettes. While conceptualizing her latest offering, affectionately nicknamed “the weirdos,” Graham looked to principles of cellular biology, resulting in a whimsical assemblage of vibrantly colored pieces suited to the world of Dr. Seuss. “I hope to create objects that provoke thought and wonder,” the artist muses. “I define my success by the curious look or amused smirk that comes across a person’s face when they see a finished product.”

“I CHALLENGED MYSELF TO MAKE A FUNCTIONAL OBJECT USING THE TECHNIQUES AND MATERIALS I EMPLOY IN MY ART MAKING.”

TWIST ATOP A HILL WITH COMMANDING VIEWS, AN EXPANSIVE ABODE BRINGS AN AUTHENTIC TOUCH OF FRANCE, WITH A DASH OF CONTEMPORARY SPIRIT, TO AN IRVINE COMMUNITY. WRITTEN BY ALEXANDRA DROSU / PHOTOGRAPHY BY MARK LOHMAN

LUXESOURCE.COM / 279


P

erched on an Irvine hilltop, a rare park-like property had designer Carolyne Ferguson’s clients falling hard. At just over an acre, the expansive spot offered the couple a chance to build a house that was at once supremely private yet open to the surrounding views. “I could see this house in my mind,” says the wife, who envisioned a simple and elegant but unpretentious family retreat where grandchildren and dogs could roam comfortably. To realize her dream home, she turned to Ferguson, a friend of nearly 30 years. “I know what she likes and I think that comes from being very good friends,” says the designer. “We’re on the same page, and I know her sense of style; she would be most comfortable in a house with a cottage-like feel.” Working with friends can be dicey, but in this case the decades-long friendship turned out to be a recipe for success. The couple and the team—Ferguson, architect Carlos Elenes, builder Robert Ferguson (Carolyne Ferguson’s husband) and landscape designer Greg Grisamore—met frequently to collaborate on the project and create a unified vision for the home. “We knew exactly where everything

was going to go right from the beginning,” says Carolyne Ferguson. So the team faced the challenge of designing a 15,000-square-foot home that also managed to feel intimate and comfortable. Elenes took advantage of the lot’s depth, which allowed him to give the architecture a layered feel. For example, the home’s entry sequence includes a wrought-iron gate that leads to an understated door with an old-world feel and into a courtyard that brings visitors to the home’s antique front door and H-shaped floor plan. With the footprint, Elenes was able to create multiple courtyards to maximize the amount of light coming into the rooms, which he carefully proportioned to create the cozy vibe the wife desired. “The majority of the rooms have fenestration on two, if not three, sides, providing the home with natural light and ventilation while giving the couple spectacular unobstructed views of the canyon,” says Elenes. To maintain the authentic rustic-French style the clients desired, Elenes turned to books and personal photographs of Provençal travels. And, says Robert Ferguson, “We imported many materials, including the antique roof tiles, reclaimed stone and tile flooring,

Architect Carlos Elenes drew on country French architecture for this Irvine abode. A custom door from Austrian Handcrafted Iron leads to the home, which has interiors designed by Carolyne Ferguson. Lanterns from Bevolo Gas and Electric Lights welcome visitors.

European-wood flooring, antique doors and light fixtures.” Working in tandem with superintendent Michael Karkut, Robert Ferguson orchestrated a veritable symphony of pieces, given the magnitude and detail of the project. “Coordination of materials and subcontractors were key to achieving the desired results,” notes the builder. While the architecture leans more toward country French, the interiors take many of their cues from farther north. “After listening to the wife, I suggested Gustavian style for the cabinets,” says Carolyne Ferguson, referring to the 18th-century Swedish interpretation of neoclassical French taste. The designer tapped Marilynn B. Gilbert, a friend and mentor, to collaborate on the cabinetry—with its mix of Gustavian and traditional French features— and chose light neutrals for the walls, flooring, stone, countertops and furnishings. “Soft contemporary furnishings and rustic elements such as silk-burlap fabrics and raw natural woods were included in the mix for eye-catching interest,” Carolyne Ferguson explains. “I designed custom furniture to accommodate room size and proportion. These pieces enhanced the Gustavian style, specifically the painted dining room buffet and the custom

dining room table with the zinc-inlay tabletop.” Lighting— some sourced abroad and other elements produced locally—add to the authentic feel of the home. Also joining the mélange were many of the clients’ own furnishings, artwork and accessories. “It was a true team effort,” says the designer, with the results creating a layered feel. In his vision for the landscape, Grisamore captured some Provençal spirit, too, lining the driveway with sycamores and incorporating olive trees and lavender into his plant palette. He strove “to give each outdoor room its own identity, a balance between function and aesthetics,” he says. The entertainment courtyard, for instance, boasts an outdoor fireplace and seating area with plenty of room for large parties, allowing guests to meander across a geometric arrangement of stones set in the lawn. When not in use, the space reads as more garden-like, with the grass tempering the hardscape. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of the entire team and their attention to detail, the couple’s vision came to fruition. “The home is breathtaking, and it is remarkable that we could coordinate so well together to achieve such a spectacular home,” says Carolyne Ferguson. “On a personal level, I love the relationship I have with the wife. We can get together for lunch and be the best of friends; then we can meet and discuss strictly the business at hand. Not many friends could endure nearly 30 years of combining both.”

SPEAKING “CULTURE IS THE ARTS ELEVATED TO A SET OF BELIEFS.” THIS STATEMENT MADE BY EARLY-20TH-CENTURY NOVELIST THOMAS WOLFE IS THE PERFECT DESCRIPTOR FOR OUR LATEST MUSE: THE WORK OF AUSTRALIAN PENCIL ARTIST LISA LAPOINTE, WHOSE PRISMATIC LANGUAGE OF VIBRANTLY HUED SHAPES WERE INFLUENCED BY INDIGENOUS MYTHOLOGIES. TOGETHER, THE PIECES HERE UNDOUBTEDLY PROVE THE NOTION THAT MODERN ART AND DESIGN SEEK TO CREATE OBJECTS THAT TRANSCEND BOTH USE AND AESTHETICS—SUBSCRIBING TO A DEEPER MANTRA.
