LESS SEAMS, MORE BEAUTY
ONE BOARD AT A TIME
EVERY FLOOR MADE TO ORDER
It’s simple math—wider, longer planks create less lines, enhancing both the beauty of the wood and your space. In fact, by choosing a Carlisle floor you can reduce the number of seams in your floor by up to 500%, having a dramatic impact on the overall look in any room—big or small.
Each floor is made one at a time, one board at a time—a practice unheard of in the wood flooring industry. At Carlisle our experienced craftsmen scrutinize every board and know the intricate steps that go into building a wide plank floor that meets the highest level of quality.
Every Carlisle wide plank floor is made one at a time to your specifications. Whether you choose one of our lifestyle collection floors or you specify your own, we don’t make it until you tell us to.
THERE’S NO OTHER FLOOR LIKE A CARLISLE WIDE PLANK FLOOR
2'-12' LENGTHS
Longest average length in the industry. A unique treatment developed by Carlisle gives the floor a soft and gently worn texture with very fine brush markings.
HAND CRAFTED 6"-10" PLANKS
Twice as wide as the industry average.

The story of Baldwin Hardware’s inception is as inspiring as the products themselves. Founded in 1946 by Holocaust survivor Severin Fayerman, Baldwin Hardware was built upon a personal pact: If Fayerman were to survive the Holocaust, he would make something more beautiful than anything the world had ever known.

EDITOR’S LETTER
Clockwise from top left: M64 Pendant by Miguel Milá for Santa & Cole; a vignette from The Coveteur: Private Spaces, Personal Style by Stephanie Mark and Jake Rosenberg; vintage Cartier necklace; Navata fabric by Fortuny; and Petri vase by Elyse Graham.
What should your home give to you? In its purest form, it should impart beauty, honesty, delight, imperfection, and, perhaps, even a little wit or amusement. The environment that you create is essentially an extension of what you value and love, a reflection of your aesthetic sensibility. It’s something that ebbs and evolves over time yet (hopefully!) always feels authentic and true. It seems reasonable then that the space in which you live should be treated as a little haven in this world—a dwelling that makes the everyday seem that much more beautiful. This issue is largely dedicated to examining the concept of luxury, and our team connected with many artisans and designers who weighed in on the subject. It’s telling that a common thread runs through that collective dialogue: “Each piece has a story to tell.” “Collect things you love and want to have forever.” “The most luxurious of materials are also often the simplest.” “Home is sacred, and the items around us often have an emotional effect, so it is important to put a great deal of care into deciding what you allow into your space.” Wherever you reside, make home your greatest luxury.

WHAT DOES THE ART OF INSPIRATION MEAN TO YOUR BRAND? Inspiration lies at the very core of Vinotempâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture. India Hynes, like her father before her, has traveled the world in search of new ideas and inspiration, as well as new technologies and industry trends.
WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF YOUR FIRM? Vinotemp is a 30-year-old family business. Founder Francis Ravel was born in Casablanca, French Morocco, fought with the French Foreign Legion and landed in Hollywood as a leading man. After a lengthy movie career, Ravel found his passion of making and selling his own wine. This simple turn of fate led to the need to store his collection.
DESCRIBE THE CRAFTSMANSHIP BEHIND YOUR BRAND. Vinotempâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loyal workforce is bound together by a single thought: to create a product that will last for generations.

memo SHANNON RATCLIFFE PUBLISHER
Where does the time go? It seems like we were just firing off sparklers and suddenly showrooms are dazzling us with pumpkins and fall foliage. But, before we get caught up in the rush of the holidays, we want you to know the importance that our team puts in giving back to the community. In that spirit, Luxe Interiors + Design Southern California will partner with the Illumination Foundation for a new one-ofa-kind charity event on October 8: Art of Design. Buy your tickets at ifhomeless. org/aod2016, and join Coldwell Banker, Neiman Marcus at Fashion Island and Luxe, as well as some very talented local Orange County designers and showrooms, for a dynamic evening of entertainment, food and spirits. Plus, it’s with great excitement that I welcome our newest sales director, Kali Smith, who comes to our team with not only an impressive resume, but also an extensive media and marketing background. Kali, along with veterans Jenny Hoang and Alisa Tate, will become the energetic trio of the sales/marketing representatives serving the Orange County/San Diego areas. Enjoy the issue!

CONTRIBUTORS
BEHIND THE SCENES GET TO KNOW A FEW OF OUR CONTRIBUTORS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS THEY TALK ALL THINGS DESIGN. PRODUCED BY SARAH RAMIREZ
ALANNA HALE
Photographer / San Francisco
TATE GUNNERSON Writer / Chicago
Memorable Luxe interview: While every single interview is fascinating in its own way, my conversation with the multifaceted Eric J. Nordstrom of Urban Remains in Chicago stands out. He left behind a career in scientific research to pursue his passion for history, architecture and salvage and has since amassed a significant collection of pieces. Is there a particular writer whose work has had an influence on you? Although I have an enduring appreciation for urban life and design of all kinds, Henry David Thoreau’s emphasis on nature and simplicity resonates with me more and more as the years go by. Who is the most interesting person you’ve ever met? Artist and potter Alessio Tasca. For decades, he created incredible pieces out of his rustic studio in the countryside just outside of Vicenza, Italy. What a life he’s lived! If I weren’t a writer, I would… Run a small bed-and-breakfast that would consist of stylish tiny homes, yurts and tree houses on a peaceful lake in the country. I’d also love to make a documentary at some point.
KARYN MILLET Photographer / Los Angeles My biggest creative influences come from… My travels. From Cuba to the Cotswolds in England, this year has been full of visual inspiration for design, color, light, composition and mood. I’m forever planning my next trip. Whose work has impacted you the most? My great-great-uncle, Francis Davis Millet. He was a famous artist who made me realize that art can be a career if you set your mind to it. He was last seen helping women and children into lifeboats off the Titanic, where he perished. What type of design inspires you? I love traditional with a twist. With architecture, I’m a big fan of the classics—Federal, Cape Cod and Spanish. I’m also intrigued by unexpected colors and fresh designs in interiors.
MINDY PANTIEL Writer / Colorado What do you find most enjoyable about the design industry? I like the ongoing integration of the art world into interior design. And I don’t mean finding art to match a sofa, but rather designers recognizing that allowing art to make its own statement only enhances and elevates a home’s interiors. Favorite element of design: Architecture. I am forever in awe of a great architect’s ability to shape a building and create spaces that are not only livable but also have a context. As a consequence, I like furnishings and accessories that make strong architectural statements. Most memorable Luxe interview: I spoke with a homeowner who shared that her husband had fallen in love with an enormous boulder weighing several tons on their property. So, as a birthday present, the wife arranged for a crane to move it near the front door so he could see it every day. The architecture and design of the house were already wonderful, but this was a reminder that the best stories (and homes) involve this kind of personal touch.

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

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

RADAR / COMMENTARY
“I don’t like trendy design; although, it’s essential to keep up with changing styles. When I design textiles, I like to create things that are timeless and can work in various styles of homes—things that can be appreciated decade after decade.” –MILI SULEMAN, KUFRILIFEFABRICS.COM
“Don’t bring it home unless you plan on living with it indefinitely. There’s so much disposability in consumer culture. Instead, collect things you love and want to have forever. Search for things that retain their value even when they’re well-used, worn or patinated.” –CODY HOYT, CODYHOYT.COM
I LOVE WORKING WITH WOOD. IT HAS SO MUCH CHARACTER ; EACH PIECE HAS A STORY TO TELL AND FEELS ALIVE TO ME. A LOT OF TIMES I EVEN SPECIFICALLY LOOK FOR SLABS WITH IMPERFECTIONS, WHICH WE THEN PATCH UP IN UNIQUE WAYS.” –FLORIAN ROEPER, STUDIOROEPER.COM
Clockwise from top right: Elyse Graham’s Petri vase; Pamela Sunday’s Sprocket sculpture; and Cody Hoyt’s Oblique vessel.
“The value in a handcrafted piece is the human connection. The digital age has made our world smaller and brought us together but left us longing for direct personal contact. I think there is an inherent comfort in owning a piece, which is made by hand, that addresses that void.” –ELYSE GRAHAM, ELYSEGRAHAM.COM
“Luxury is beauty and comfort combined. I have come to love a Martin Margiela smock that is threadbare from years of wear. My husband purchased it more than 20 years ago. When I put it on, I feel more like myself.” –PAMELA SUNDAY, PAMELASUNDAY.COM
“I am blown away by the work of artist Daniel Brush. His level of commitment, his total focus, his rabid attention to detail and his blend of the intellectual and the physical are just so impressive. I find myself on the verge of almost giving up when I see his work.” –VICTORIA REYNOLDS, TUELLREYNOLDS.COM

RADAR / COMMENTARY
“I’m continually impressed by how much a beautiful cup, the right bowl, a wellmade rug, a crafted table or an inspiring piece of art can move me. I never imagined the profound pleasure that someone else’s creativity could bring me each day.”
THE MOST LUXURIOUS OF MATERIALS ARE ALSO OFTEN THE SIMPLEST, WHETHER IT’S CLAY, WOOD, STONE OR NATURAL FIBERS. WOOD, IN PARTICULAR, IS SACRED TO OUR SURVIVAL, WITH TREES THEMSELVES OFTEN SERVING AS MARKERS OF THE PASSING OF TIME.”
–RUTH FRANCES GREENBERG, RUTHFRANCESGREENBERG.COM
“We’re compelled to create by nature; it’s a Zen state that’s hard to match and innate in all of us. I aim to make modern heirlooms and do work that is meant to be handled and not put on a pedestal. I often wonder where my pieces end up living and hope that they’re being passed down generationally as cherished objects.”
“We love the thought that our pieces could be passed down through generations. We put a lot of effort into creating solid, wellconstructed objects. We also use the best materials that we feel are correct for each individual design and are compelled to make each piece as good as it can be.” –JAMEY GARZA, GARZAMARFA.COM
–TUCKER ROBBINS, TUCKERROBBINS.COM
“The ethos of handcrafted work is incomparable to that of mass-market products. Our work comes from a place of deliberation over design, aesthetic, structure, form and function. Each piece is handmade to order, so we know for whom and for what space we’re making it.” –DAVID WEEKS, DAVIDWEEKSSTUDIO.COM

RADAR / COMMENTARY
“Every painting is a struggle between what you want it to be and what the painting wants to be. Most of the time, painting is wrestling, but every once in a while, something unexpected happens— something beyond what I’ve planned or intended.” –STELLA MARIA BAER, STELLAMARIABAER.COM
“Luxuries, to me, are things that create ‘wow’ moments in our days—like when you sink into a down sofa and have no desire to be anywhere else or when you experience the pleasure of running your hands across the top of a table made from an exquisite, oneof-a-kind piece of wood that’s been skillfully finished to perfection.” –CATALINA ECHAVARRIA, CEUSTUDIO.COM
From top: The Pivot chandelier by Brendan Ravenhill; CEU Studio’s handwoven Reed bed.
MY PROCESS IS NOT LUXURIOUS AT ALL. THERE HAS BEEN BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS THAT HAVE GONE INTO MANY OF THE THINGS THAT I HAVE CREATED—A LOT OF BAD BEFORE YOU GET TO THE GOOD—BUT I CAN’T IMAGINE NOT DOING IT. THE PROCESS BRINGS ME SO MUCH JOY.” –MEGAN ADAMS BROOKS, MEGANADAMSBROOKS.COM
“If you’re going to splurge on anything, let it be lighting— it has the greatest ability to transform a space. No matter how nice the objects in a particular room are, if the lighting’s not right, you’re not going to spend as much time there. Beyond how it looks, too, be sure to examine what kind of light it casts.” –BRENDAN RAVENHILL, BRENDANRAVENHILL.COM
“When creating something that people will one day bring into their homes, I always try to subscribe to Shaker design philosophy: Don’t make something unless it is necessary and useful. But if it is both necessary and useful, don’t forget to make it beautiful.” –SEEMA KRISH, SEEMAKRISH.COM
“We absolutely keep the idea of collecting in mind when making things. We want to create pieces that can be preserved and last for multiple generations. We try to make art that is immersive and made by multiple artists, and we like the fact that furniture and usable art can be hard to swallow as an art form.” –NANA SPEARS, FORTMAKERS.COM

Everything Is Illuminated DESIGNER JONATHAN BROWNING USES HIS PASSION FOR HISTORY AND AGELESS STYLE TO CREATE LIGHTING THAT WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME. WRITTEN BY SHANNON SHARPE PORTRAIT BY ALANNA HALE
Change in approach: When I first started, I was doing everything by hand, but I quickly discovered that my designs would have to be made in a foundry because they were too complex. I only work with the best of the best: Cirecast. Material matters: For the first seven years, we used cast bronze almost exclusively, but as our
SCONCE PHOTO: GRANT PETERSON.
When Jonathan Browning founded his eponymous company in 2003, he was positive of one thing: He was going to make the best lighting in the industry. “I wanted to create pieces that would outlast the people that bought them,” he says. Through designing each item by hand, using the best quality materials and producers, and taking a new approach to old ideas, Browning has proven that being the best isn’t about labels, but about commitment. In his latest offering, the Montalembert sconce, the designer shows us thoughtfulness once again with a machined-byhand lamp with a hand-polished solid-brass base and a hand-carved and polished lead-crystal shade. “Luxury is about authenticity,” says Browning. “It is about respecting your materials and deferring to what your design is trying to say and do. It’s about doing the right thing over the easy thing.”
Jonathan Browning in his San Francisco headquarters next to the Dornstab floor lamp, originally designed by J.T. Kalmar and re-edited by Browning. His Montalembert sconce is shown below, left.
repertoire expanded, we introduced brass and then lead crystal. I’d always wanted to use lead crystal because it’s such a beautiful alternative to glass. Crème de la crème: My passion has always been industrial design, but I’m also a big fan of French Beaux Arts. The French essentially studied every element of classical design, learning the rules so that they could break them and introduce something the world had never seen. Luxury suite: To me, Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont is the height of luxury. It’s incredible to go into a room that was so beautifully designed in the 1920s and that has been restored but not fussed over. It is like stepping into an old photograph.
Hero worship: Otto Wagner gave voice to industrial design as a decorative language. I also admire Stanford White, who was really the first decorator; he would bring architectural elements from Italy and France and build whole rooms for them. Finally, I consider Louis Comfort Tiffany a genius of massively misunderstood proportion. He is often dismissed as being a little known stained-glassed window and lamp designer, which is insane. Beauty statement: The construction of the Montalembert sconce is what gives it its beauty. The electrical work flows through the brass tube, curving downward and back up, never touching the crystal shade; the armature is just there to cradle the crystal. The result is like sculpture.

AT ANN SACKS, ART, CRAFT AND A DOSE OF SCIENCE MEET TO CREATE THE COMPANY’S SIGNATURE LINE OF TILES. WRITTEN BY LISA BINGHAM DEWART
These days, the transformation of an Ann Sacks tile from rough sketch to finished tile takes place in a sprawling Portland, Oregon, factory. However, the company’s dedication to craft, along with some of the same kilns, remains the same as it did nearly a quarter century ago when the founder of the eponymous company decided to add to her line of tile imported from Mexico with her own signature collection. The story continues in a quiet corner of the factory. There, a skilled craftsman—who goes by Gerbert—translates ideas conceived by Ann Sacks’ in-house design team and by notable collaborating designers, such as Robert
Kuo, Kelly Wearstler and Laura Kirar, into the first stages of a new tile addition to the core Made by Ann Sacks collection. “He’s a true artist,” says DeeDee Gundberg, director of product development. “He takes the design from concept to drawing to understand the repeat before transitioning it to a wax model.” From there, Gundberg and her colleagues tweak the design and make changes. “Maybe it’s just softening a corner,” says Justin Burgin, team leader of finished goods, or, “refining a line to make it slightly thinner.” Then, a wax model gets made to create a rubber positive, which in turn is used to create the mold. Finally,

Ann Sacks’ signature line of earthenware and stoneware tiles, the Made by Ann Sacks collection, offers a rainbow of colors and a mind-boggling assortment of textures, shapes and sizes.
the prototype is fired and ready for glazing. It’s a critical step, since glazes can behave differently. And, notes Burgin, “Things stand out more when glazed, so it’s critical to see if any flaws appear.” Once the design is complete, the tile is ready to be put into production, joining a dizzying array of colors (over 150!) and shapes from hexagons, arabesques and scallops to the ever-popular subway tile, not to mention textures, including the Ann Sacks Modern Ribbed tiles, a recent introduction. “It’s extremely important we stay relevant,” says Gundberg. The company produces both earthenware and stoneware designs from locally sourced clay. Earthenware, the first type of
tile the company produced, allows for solid glossy or matte glazes, while the stoneware body lends itself to more decorative shapes. For basic shapes, production starts when the wet clay goes through an extruder, where it’s flattened and then cut into slugs before being loaded into presses to make specific shapes. For some tiles, including all the stoneware offerings, the designs are stamped by hand. Afterward, the tiles spend 12 to 15 hours drying before they’re ready to be biscuit-fired in the continuous kiln—a hulking piece of machinery that takes the tile up to 1,976 degrees Fahrenheit and back to room temperature in as little as 80 minutes. Then, it’s
onto the glazing area, where the pieces are either glazed on the line or hand-sprayed. Each tile in the Made by Ann Sacks collection is touched by at least seven people during its transformation. Burgin is quick to point out that a little piece of everyone involved in the production goes into the finished product. “They’re incredibly passionate about it,” he says. During factory tours, design lovers see that firsthand. “They’re blown away by the handmade process, the artisanal quality and the craftsmanship they see,” says Gundberg. “The story is extremely important to tell, so they understand what went into the making of that tile.”
RADAR / DEBUT
Best part about working with Theodore Alexander on your new collection, Califolio? The first thing the team at Theodore Alexander told me when we began to work together was “design like you have no constraints,” and I immediately understood why. Their capabilities are endless; they have their own foundry and handle their own finishing and leather fabrication. It allowed me to create exactly what I wanted: a large, ambitious collection (of over 75 pieces!) with a real wabi-sabi flavor and plenty of interesting textures and finishes. Share your inspiration for the collection. The size of the collection enabled me to combine a lot of the different things I’m influenced by: organic design and materials, as well as American Art Deco modernism.
WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA
I also wanted to create a dialogue here that speaks to Los Angeles’ eclecticism, to the way we celebrate the melting pot of cultures that make up our community and how we’ve learned to mix both high and low, elegance and simplicity in our homes. Do you have a favorite piece? They’re all special to me, but I’m especially proud of the work we did on the Flint table (shown). To bring that piece to life, we had to work with Theodore Alexander to add new finishes and techniques to its repertoire. For example, for the handsome oak tabletop, we designed a finish called Sandalwood for a rich, honey color; then, to take it even further, we put it through a wire-brushing process before hitting it with white cerused wax and a very, very fine steel wood for a satin finish.
It also has a beautiful base. Yes! The Flint table also features another new finish called Foundry, a lovely metallic that gives the base the illusion of being cast in bronze. In reality, the base is fabricated resin, which makes it easier to render its river rock-shaped cutouts. I’ve always been attracted to anything curvilinear or kidney-shaped. These silhouettes, popular in the 1940s through ’60s, are some of my favorite things from that period of modernism. Dream meal to serve on this table? A fantastic L.A.-inspired lunch with fresh, homemade heirloom tomato salsa with chipotle peppers, vegetarian tacos with avocado and peppers, and delicious BBQ shrimp skewers. It’s a great example of what entertaining in California is all about: flavor and quality and health. Just don’t forget the gluten-free corn tortillas!

#INSTACRUSH
@thismintymoment WHO: Minh T is a graphic designer and photographer who calls on his architecture background to populate a moody Instagram feed that is both provocative and architecturally compelling.
WHAT: The photographer endeavors to find the “diamonds in the rough” of architecture in Los Angeles and beyond. It’s rare to see his soft-hued images with a familiar geotag. Expect to find structurally significant buildings captured from unexpected angles. WHY: He is inspired by the possibility that something mundane or neglected can be beautiful from a different perspective. Follow him to indulge in the same sentiment.
AS OF NOW
When did you open? I opened As of Now with my partner, Brad Cook, in August 2015. Tell us about your concept. Our shop represents the best local Los Angeles makers and artists all in a cohesive environment that embodies the California lifestyle and a modern Bohemian sensibility. Where are you located? In the Arts District in downtown L.A. Why L.A.? Our city is finally getting the attention it deserves in terms of recognition for its contributions to the arts, architecture and food. “As of now,” there is no other place we’d rather be! On the shelves? Our biggest category is handmade ceramics. We carry 13 local ceramic artists. Some of our larger brands include Artless Furniture, Canvas, Lostine, Menu, Loloi, Aelfie and Zoe Bios Creative. Describe the store. It is arranged like a big living space so that people can get a feel for the products in a realistic homelike setting. We did it all ourselves, and every fixture and piece of furniture is for sale. What makes As of Now different? I think it’s really important to have a specific point of view and to stick to it. We aren’t trying to be everything to everyone, but we do feel our product is so compelling and unique that anyone can find something here. asofnowstore.com
CURATOR A+D MUSEUM
“I think that architecture and design have mostly passed through their ‘outsider’ and ‘popular’ phases. Now, when curating shows on the topics, I believe the emphasis should be on those features that create lasting aesthetic categories and denote an understanding of their respective deep technical-social impact. Generally speaking, I care less about whether a show has a critical message and more about the holistic sensibility that is communicated through the presence of the work. I love that there is more than meets the eye in architecture and design. There is a great deal of training, developing position, acquired expertise, and larger ebbs and flows of history, commerce, material and social conditions—all of this feeds significantly into design work. In turn, design shapes us. I want visitors—public visitors, not designers—to come away from our museum wanting to know more and seeking to become engaged.” –DORA EPSTEIN JONES, APLUSD.ORG 156 / LUXESOURCE.COM

TALKING SHOP WITH MELISSA RITCHIE
IN HIS WORDS: “My signature style is about purity, contemplation and timelessness. Once you distill a scene to its own essential elements, you can find its beauty in light, geometry or mood. I love the idea of creating an image that could belong in the future or the past.”

THE INSIDER
ROSE APODACA
Rose Apodaca, one half of the team behind locally loved retailer A+R, has had a lot to celebrate recently: A+R’s new 6,800-square-foot flagship store at Row in downtown Los Angeles opens this fall, and simultaneously, Apodaca and cofounder Andy Griffith will be heralding the stateside arrival of the shop’s new collections from several overseas design powerhouses, such as De Vorm from Holland, and Friends&Founders, Woud and New Works, all from Copenhagen. In fact, introducing international brands domestically—along with their distinctly modern perspectives and diverse ranges—is what A+R is all about. “L.A. boasts a legacy as a working laboratory for modernism,” says Apodaca, “and that ethos continues to be pushed by some of the best architects and designers in town.” Here, Apodaca gives us the scoop on what’s on her radar for fall. aplusrprojects.com Architecture or design must-sees: The MAK Center, which was once the latearchitect Rudolph Schindler’s residence. The space hosts inspired, avant-garde programming. It’s also worth taking a walk downtown along Grand Avenue toward Little Tokyo to check out some of the engineering feats there and all the surprising little urban oases.
How is the design scene in L.A. changing? One area where profound changes have taken place has been in our community perception: People are now recognizing and preserving the city’s legacy of modernism. It’s still a battle, as some architectural marvels remain under threat, but more Angelenos are realizing the importance of our architectural heritage.
For the art-focused: I am truly a devoted fan of all our city’s wonderful museums. It’s become a routine that during the quarterly art walks in Culver City and Chinatown, we always begin and end at the Honor Fraser Gallery and Gregorio Escalante Gallery, respectively, and I would recommend them both enthusiastically.
Ones to watch: Andy and I both admire the fantastically talented multidisciplinary duo behind Wrk-Shop: Airi Isoda and Ryan Upton. They’re architects as well as product and furniture designers, who are based downtown, and they have produced a tight fashion collection made from Japanese materials that is outstanding.

How did the Art + Ideas podcast come about? I’ve been talking with scholars, curators, conservators, architects, artists and authors about their recent projects and anything else I can learn from them—all with a microphone in hand. And so I thought I’d share these conversations broadly with others. What can we expect to hear in the episodes? We’ll be talking about subjects like the conservation of Roman mosaics in North Africa; the historical and anthropological interpretation of the materiality of Buddhist art; and the list goes on. Why should people be listening? There is so much happening in the realms of art and culture, both locally and internationally. Art + Ideas is a chance for people to hear directly from the creative minds that are actively contributing to these fields. Talk about a notable episode. I have a soft spot for the series of interviews I’m doing with Frank Gehry, which is essentially tracing the trajectory of his life. He’s been incredibly open, generous and reflective. What’s next? This season, look forward to a conversation about André Malraux and the emergence of the illustrated art book, and we’ll delve into the David Tudor Archives at the Getty Research Institute.

CHEAT SHEET ALLE FISTER: BOLLARE The prodigious, and preternaturally hip, founder behind celebrated public relations firm Bollare, Alle Fister spills on all the deeply fabulous people, places and products that keep her passionate about her bicoastal lifestyle. bollare.com Favorite thing you’re pitching right now? Literally everything Gray Malin is working on. I met Gray eight years ago while doing press for the launch of One Kings Lane, where he was one of the site’s first vendors. Years later, when I opened Bollare’s L.A. office, I purchased one of his photos for the space, and it had the added bonus of rekindling our friendship. He’s more than a photographer; he’s a lifestyle brand and a keen digital influencer. Who’s on your best-dressed list? Margherita Missoni is right at the top. In general, I’m a big fan of Missoni, so it was kind of perfect that I started representing Roche Bobois right around the time they released their Missoni x Mah Jong collection. I love the effortlessness the line has, and I also love the way both brands embrace color, movement and bold silhouettes—much like Margherita herself.
Looking forward to… Incorporating black stainlesssteel elements everywhere I can. The masculine, fashionforward vibe of black stainless is so my jam, and I am happy to see ever-more manufacturers making tastefully built products using this material. Up next? We recently expanded our New York presence, tripling the size of our East Coast office in an incredible artist’s loft in Tribeca. Of course, it’s still in need of some TLC, but luckily, I know exactly who can fill the space with fresh Bollare energy: my husband. He’s the principal and cofounder of One Tuscany Renovation, which revives some of Southern California’s most amazing homes. It should be a snap for him—even if I am currently thinking of ways to sell him on deep-blue flooring!

What’s on your radar? In Los Angeles, we’re seeing a lot of elevated design and fashion boutiques with international recognition heading our way. I’m personally so excited about the opening of L’Eclaireur,
located right up the street from our office. In New York, I’m always amazed by how the city keeps churning out new, amazing hotels that provide a completely different perspective on one of the best cities in the world: Some personal favorites are The Bowery, Crosby Street Hotel, NoMad and The Mark.

Inspired Design for Optimal Well Being
“The spaces we live in have a profound effect on our well being. Colors, textures, and materials are just some of the tangible elements that affect how we feel in our daily lives. But creating a truly inspiring environment goes beyond look and feel. It is essential to know how energy flows through every room, and how light interacts with every surface. We distill individual preferences, translate personal styles, and incorporate worldly fascinations to help each client realize their dream of living in a home that brings them deep joy and an inspired quality of life.” - Kari Arendsen, Principal Intimate Living Interiors has received multiple national and international awards while creating distinctive, enduring, and life-changing spaces for clients throughout the US and abroad. Kari’s design vision draws from a multitude of resources, with influences stemming from her extensive travels and life experiences. She and the ILI team have mastered the art of creating the perfect living environment—blending the reclaimed with the refined, the unexpected with the essential.

Signature: Kate Spade has really revolutionized the accessory business, and the brand continues to do so with other categories that help shape the well-lived lifestyle. Material: Velvet and leather have a tendency to be soft and sexy; in this case, they cause an understated juxtaposition with the structural and industrial brass legs. Fashion x Interiors: I believe that the definition of luxury changes from time to time. For now, the focus is more about comfort, ease and access in both fashion and interiors—a quiet luxury à la well-crafted and beautifully designed pieces. Necessary Extravagance: However you define luxury, bring it about as often as you can.
LAP OF LUXURY
THE PIECE: Syrie Stools THE DESIGNER: Kate Spade New York FIND IT: katespade.com THE INSPIRATION: From the clean piping of the cushions to the fearlessly feminine brass legs, the Syrie stools epitomize exactly what Kate Spade New York has always been about: classic design with a twist. Here, buttery leather and blush cut velvet keep the seats au courant, while the cut of the legs adds an unexpected edge, proving that the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature ethos is sure to always keep us on our toes.

GOLD MINE THE PIECE: Iolite Table Lamp THE DESIGNER: Jean-Louis Deniot FIND IT: bakerfurniture.com THE INSPIRATION: The Iolite table lamp is one clever chameleon, sparking a curious source of inspiration. And that is exactly what Jean-Louis Deniot intended to do with this striking design made of brass and alabaster. Fashioning an organic, naturalistic shape, the French design luminary left the product open to interpretation: Is it a shell encasing a pearl or a peacock feather? Either way, this sculptural piece provokes conversation and brightens any space it inhabits.
JONATHAN MEIZLER
FASHION DESIGNER & FOUNDER TITLEOFWORK.COM
Heritage: Baker’s craftsmanship has been highly regarded from its inception, and to this day, the quality stands up to its name. Material: I am intrigued by the artful contrasts in Deniot’s design—the hard and soft, the smooth and the liquid, the metallic and the organic; together, they strike a beautiful balance and create harmony. Recall: A striking piece like Deniot’s anchors a room or creates a conversation. It evokes a memory, dream or inspiration. To me, it feels a little Deco. Necessary Extravagance: Luxury is all about dreaming. It’s being able to afford to have the time to grasp the unnecessary. Time is our biggest luxury. Fashion x Interiors: If you don’t need it, it’s luxury, and that applies across any category.
HAYDEN LASHER HANDBAG DESIGNER HAYDENLASHER.COM
Signature: Celerie Kemble’s designs are fresh yet traditional, and many of her pieces feel as if they could have been handed down through generations— the perfect combination of contemporary and nostalgia. Details: These boxes epitomize luxury because they don’t just serve a purpose; they are also special and artistic. The devil is in the details, and there is no better way to tie a space together than with the accessories. Recall: They remind me of a box my grandmother used to keep in her library that was full of matchbooks she collected from her travels around the world. Composition: The way the boxes are enveloped by de Le Cuona’s lush linen makes it feel like you have just unwrapped a gift. Fashion x Interiors: Kemble’s mixture of rattan and brass reads as smart, distinctive and tailored—a winning combination in all facets of design.
TREASURE TROVE THE PIECE: Rattan & Brass Boxes THE DESIGNER: Celerie Kemble FIND IT: maitland-smith.com THE INSPIRATION: It’s no question that Celerie Kemble is a fan-favorite, and her chic and livable interiors have effortlessly translated into an accessories line with Maitland-Smith. Case in point: these rattan and brass boxes, envisaged with a modern blend of natural materials and a glimmer of glamour—an adored Kemble trademark.

GREAT HEIGHTS THE PIECE: Fulcrum Candlesticks THE DESIGNER: Lee Broom FIND IT: leebroom.com THE INSPIRATION: Once again, Lee Broom takes us to another level with his just-the-right-amount-of-edge Fulcrum candlesticks. Exploring the capabilities of pivots and supports, Broom employed solid Carrara marble to put his ideas into practice. Considering the products’ colossal and sculptural presence, one is easily reminded that these are indeed not your grandmother’s candlesticks.
KARLA GALLARDO, COFOUNDER & CEO SHILPA SHAH, COFOUNDER & CXO CUYANA.COM
Detail: Luxury is in the details, and Lee Broom’s candlesticks have been carefully conceptualized; his vision and modernity are very in-line with the Cuyana aesthetic. Material: Marble is so rich and transcendent yet its natural texture commands attention in a subtly powerful way. Fashion x Interiors: The two run parallel in that rich materials and beautiful craftsmanship are of equal importance. Incorporating these precious finds into your home— and closet—can make the everyday feel elevated. Timelessness: It’s important to bring the customer back to the essence of a product through its materials and design. To invest in luxury is to invest in something that will bring you comfort and gratification for years to come.
CUTTING EDGE THE PIECE: Alchemy Table THE DESIGNERS: Lauren Larson and Christian Swafford FIND IT: material-lust.com THE INSPIRATION: The self-described “dark horses of design” enamor us with the latest addition to their Geometry is God collection: the Alchemy table. In maintaining a keen focus on their Solitarian design philosophy and distinct aesthetic, this piece—driven by the alchemical symbolism for air, earth, fire and water—personifies the duo’s fascination and commitment to ancient symbols and a proclivity to reinterpret these markings in contemporary and striking ways.
LELA ROSE
FASHION DESIGNER LELAROSE.COM
Continuity: Lauren and Christian have such a strong aesthetic that is present in really every piece they design—I always respect a dedication to an artistic ideal. Material: Brass, both polished and brushed (as in this case), always screams luxury to me. Recall: The calculated proportions and mixed-metal finishes are reminiscent of the Cubism period. Composition: I love the rough yet lavish vibe of the background textile, which especially complements the brilliant polish and high design of the Alchemy table. Evolution: I don’t think that luxury and formality are mutually exclusive. I want to feel luxurious in what I wear, the quality of it, how it fits the body; similarly, I want to cultivate pieces for my home that evoke that same feeling. Big or small, whether you wear it or just admire it, luxury goods bring you joy.

CRAFTSMANSHIP
IN THE 21 CENTURY ST
Technology has influenced and affected every industry in design—its ubiquity has forced even the most ardent of purists to adapt in one way or another. But simply adapting is not enough: The survival of today’s leading manufacturers of luxury, bespoke goods has been contingent upon their ability to find an equilibrium between handmade and high-tech. “The Mark of the Maker” takes a look inside some of the most respected companies in their fields, recognized for their painstakingly intricate building processes and commitment to pre-modern artisanal forms of production.

THE MARK OF THE MAKER
SUN VALLEY BRONZE When Bob and Debbie Commons started Sun Valley Bronze over 20 years ago near the resort town of Sun Valley, Idaho, the goal was to create something better, more durable and with greater integrity than what was already on the market. Bob was in the high-end residential building industry, and Debbie was drafting architectural plans; they observed a void in the market when it came to the finish details for high-end residences. Sun Valley Bronze succeeded in fulfilling its objectives and has grown into a leading manufacturer of fine architectural hardware. A factor that has propelled the company to the upper echelon of decorative hardware is its ability to adapt to change in the marketplace, from design preferences to technological advances in conceptualization and building. “When Sun Valley Bronze first started, all patterns were made in a wood shop by hand. Today, we are using state-of-the-art 3-D modeling software and CNC milling machines that are all manufactured in California at the Haas CNC factory. We collaborate with Boise State University to realize some of our more complicated designs with 3-D printing technology,” Bob explains. Sun Valley Bronze’s work, known for its simple, clean and timeless qualities, is driven by ergonomics and process. “Service and quality are the most important parts of our company,” he says. “We are focused on making products we are proud of, crafted of the highest quality materials and made in the U.S., and we back it up with friendly, prompt and honest service.”
“
Our clients are looking for one-ofa-kind products designed to last.
INSIDE SUN VALLEY BRONZE Fresh + favorite collections. Sun Valley Bronze is excited to introduce its new lighting collection, including the freestanding Otto lamp. A favorite of Bob’s is the patented adjustable ball-bearing hinge, which is a resounding success because it works so flawlessly. Provenance. Sun Valley Bronze designs and manufactures all of its products proudly in the U.S. Newly acquired. Sun Valley Bronze purchased Reveal Designs, which manufactures exceptional modern hardware, all designed by its worldrenowned design partners. Artistic update. Sun Valley Bronze is now casting brass in addition to its white and silicon bronze. Fun family fact. The lock key cover was designed by the Commons’ son Josh. He designed it to fit his thumbprints so the cover could easily be pushed from side to side. That small interaction with the hardware guided his process and is why the key cover has the unique ridge in the face of the design.
1. Assembly. Sun Valley Bronze hardware assembly includes stainless steel components and Teflon-coated springs for flawless function and to ensure longevity in humid or coastal climates. 2. Casting. The furnace heats the bronze to a pouring temperature of 2250° Fahrenheit.

When LEE envisions new designs for upholstery, it is the refinement of the design that makes our product unique.

Our cutting is done on automated cutters with talented operators making sure to achieve the highest yield of any fabric or leather used.

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

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

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

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

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

PERSONAL TOUCH IN THE HOME’S BUSIEST SPACES, LUXURY MEANS DITCHING COOKIE-CUTTER STYLE FOR HIGHLY CUSTOM LOOKS THAT ARE BRIMMING WITH ONE-OF-A-KIND PANACHE. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA
There is no staple recipe for the perfect kitchen or bath. And while a few tried-and-true formulas can get you pretty close (think one-part design inspiration from your favorite shelter magazine, one-part your preferred color and material palettes and two-parts whatever works for your family and lifestyle), the time it takes to cook up all the elements varies widely from person to person and project to project. Only one thing remains consistent: The most successful rooms in the home are those you fill with the things you love. The secret to design bliss is knowing when to break the rules in favor of additions—like an elegant chandelier over a freestanding tub or a bold rug in the kitchen—that make you uniquely happy. On the following pages, we convince some of Luxe’s favorite designers to spill the secrets behind their most-coveted—and therefore inherently covetable—spaces.

Interior designer Laura Burleson didn’t overlook a single detail in designing her casual yet sophisticated workhorse space but still managed to have plenty of fun, playing with texture and color and introducing unexpected elements throughout. lauraburleson.com
Favorite element in the space? The campaignstyle sink base. I fell in love with a giant vintage chest in London during the remodel, but its dimensions were off; instead, I had a cabinetmaker build a replica out of walnut and brass hardware.
Share the vision for your kitchen. I wanted the space to feel like a dining room that happens to have a kitchen on the periphery, rather than a kitchen with a table in the middle; so, I eliminated traditional upper cabinets and designed the cabinetry to look more like furniture.
How did you master the mix? In this space, the walnut sink base and cypress ceilings dictated the palette, so I used Farrow & Ball’s Elephant’s Breath on the cabinetry, hood and walls to unite the wooden undertones—thereby drawing the eye to the more dominant elements.

A universal fi xture base like Axor’s U-Base is more than just an easy solution for renovations and remodeling; it’s an invitation to unchartered creative expression in two of the home’s most oft-predictable spaces. This year, Axor invited top design talents, like David Adjaye, Werner Aisslinger, GamFratesi and Jean-Marie Massaud, to create one-of-a-kind spouts using the U-Base system, and the result is a series of five fine-crafted and sculptural masterpieces, like the Water Steps faucet by Front shown here, that are sure to add individualized, artistic fl air to any space they inhabit. axor-design.com

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

A PACIFIC DREAM THE DESIGN TEAM: Interior Design / McRae Lambert & Dunn Architecture / C.J. Light Associates Home Builder / Prestige Builders

THE CHALLENGE: Create the ideal location to capture the picturesque views of the Pacific without stepping foot outside. “The idea was to have a cohesive, seamless indoor-outdoor feel,” says designer Audrey Dunn. “The owners didn’t want anything to obstruct their views.” THE WORK: Mahogany doors open up the living room to the breathtaking ocean views, allowing the homeowners to experience the beauty of the Pacific firsthand. Owning a residence in Hawaii and frequently traveling to Bali, the owners have always admired the serenity of the tropics, and knew they wanted to incorporate it into their home. “They wanted the laid-back aesthetic of the tropics in a contemporary beach
home with a Balinese feel,” says designer Ladd McRae Lambert. For the furnishings, Dunn and Lambert chose unique pieces with curved shapes and soft edges to balance out the rectangular nature of the house. “There’s so much wood in the home, we wanted to vary the textures,” says Lambert. THE RESULT: With its unbelievable views and Balinese atmosphere, this house truly reflects its residents’ exotic taste and lifestyle. “The owners had real life experiences to draw from, they knew what they wanted, and they made themselves available to participate in the design,” says architect Christian R. Light. “That made it easy for us to make their dream a reality.”

THE CHALLENGE: A Minnesota couple search for a way to bring the great outdoors into the comfort of their own home, while also incorporating their passion for midcentury style. “We have a huge affinity for midcentury design, but we also wanted indoor-outdoor living,” says the wife. THE WORK: The house, surrounded by colossal oak trees, is built primarily on materials that come from the earth, including cedar, glass, and Santa Barbara sandstone. “We unearthed the goldcolored sandstone as we excavated the site,” says architect Marmol Radziner. Each room of the house is precisely designed in order to emphasize the connection between this outdoor-indoor style.
“The family room opens to a long patio with an outdoor fireplace,” he adds. “And there’s a balcony off the master bedroom, where you can catch views of the ocean.” As for the interior, Radziner added a nice contrast, using earth tones as a background for the colorful furnishings. THE RESULT: This living room, with its stone walls and beautiful wood finishing, really gives the house that rustic feeling of being outdoors, which is exactly what the owners wanted. “The house is a reflection of what comes from the earth,” Radziner explains. The bright blue chairs add a splash of color, along with a warm ambience to the room, inviting anyone to come in, sit down and relax.

THE CHALLENGE: Blend modern and traditional elements to fashion a quintessential Hamptonsstyle home in Brentwood. “We used key elements you’d consider modern—like fewer interior walls and an indoor-outdoor cohesion—and combined them with classical details: the paneling, trim, columns and cornices,” says architect Steve Giannetti. THE WORK: Giannetti used his own East Coast flare to design the home, and made sure he added in giant panel windows so that sunlight can shine directly into the rooms. The glow from the natural light brightens up the interior, while minor style details really make a difference against the neutral walls. “The owners were shy about color,” says designer Adam
Hunter, “so I compensated with sparkle, texture or sheen.” As the sunlight hits, the walnut floors, as well as soft tones of gray, blue and green found in pieces throughout the house all gleam perfectly together. “This house changes in the light,” notes builder Roy Abbott. “You notice different unique elements depending on the time of day.” THE RESULTS: Now completed, this house is the perfect example of East Coast meets West Coast. The combination of both contemporary and traditional elements not only makes this house visibly pleasing, but also gives it an inviting feeling to anyone who steps inside. Says Hunter: “The house feels warm and approachable even on its grand scale.”

REAL ESTATE INSIDERS DISH ON THE STATE OF THE LUXURY HOME MARKET: WHAT’S SELLING, WHO’S BUYING, AND WHAT’S HOT NOW. WRITTEN BY MIMI FAUCETT
ON THE MARKET When we asked Jacksonville interior designer Jim Howard to share his design philosophy, he quoted Winston Churchill, saying, “My tastes are simple. I am easily satisfied by the best.” These words seem to ring even truer today, especially when we look at the current state of luxury real estate. To the high-end homebuyer (or seller), today’s unlimited options and unprecedented modern amenities have created a whole new world of knowledge and access, but one thing has remained constant: When it comes to home, we want the best—the best home or condo, in the best neighborhood, on the best block, with all the bells and whistles. And what does that mean in today’s market? Here, we speak with some of the industry’s biggest power players—from a renowned home stager with an eye for what sells to the nation’s top real estate agents—to find out what’s prompting bidding wars all over the country.
THE LOOK / THE REPORT
WE ASKED FIVE TOP REAL ESTATE AGENTS ABOUT THE TRENDS THEY’RE SEEING IN THEIR OWN BACKYARDS.
GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT
1
THE RIGHT LIGHT
The right lighting can make—or break—the sale of your home. A successful lighting scheme comprises a harmonious mixture of ambient, task and accent lighting, so a homeowner can easily choose the mood of the room and increase its functionality. The rule of thumb in interior lighting is to layer all three. Volker Haug’s Discus fixture (shown here) covers all the bases. It is simple and efficient with one exposed bulb, but its decorative marble disks, paired with a brushed-brass finish, create interest and add a pop of color. volkerhaug.com
Which neighborhood is the safest bet for a return on investment? In Greenwich, I don’t think of a specific area as having a better return on investment, but rather a home itself. I also believe that we have gone back to buying a home to live in and for family, not just for investment. Unless, of course, you are an investor looking to invest. Where do new buyers want to be? I have been fortunate enough to have young buyers looking to stay in the urban core and others opting for the suburbs. Barbara Zaccagnini, Coldwell Banker, coldwellbanker.com
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA Most outrageous home you’ve ever sold? An 11,000-square-foot concretesteel-and-glass contemporary estate, all on one level, in Paradise Valley on one of the best streets in town. Which neighborhood is having a moment? Rio Verde Foothills is making national news thanks to its dedication to sustainability practices. What do buyers want? Contemporary architecture has become very popular
since we over-delivered Tuscan and Mediterranean design for the past 15 years. Most buyers are favoring open-floor plans, clean lines and an efficient use of space. Where do buyers want to be? Arizona buyers should be zeroing in on the 85253, 85255 and 85018 area codes. Frank Aazami, Sotheby’s, sothebysrealty.com
have, offices in the central business district and that is where their employees want to live. Traffic is a problem in Austin; so, proximity to where you work and spend your free time is essential. Which neighborhoods should we be keeping our eyes on? I would watch the areas close to the new Dell Medical School and the redevelopment of Waller Creek. These two pillars in Austin will be changing our city. Laura Gottesman, Gottesman Residential Real Estate, gottesmanresidential.com
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Which neighborhood is having a moment? The North Shore is well-established, but there is also a ton of new construction in reinvigorated areas, some of which are being built up by prominent developers. Where does everyone want to be? Millennials are staying in the urban core for an easy commute; they often do not have cars. Families and other age groups are still opting for the suburbs due to lower taxes, schools and the desire for a quieter lifestyle. Linda Martin, Coldwell Banker, coldwellbanker.com
AUSTIN, TEXAS Where does everyone want to be this season? Our urban core is booming in both commercial and residential development. Many of the big tech companies have, or will
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON Most outrageous home you’ve ever sold? The highest priced home we have sold to date was over $20 million, and it still holds the record for the highest sale in Washington. It was an unbelievable custom home on the water with beachfront, looking directly at the Seattle skyline. Neighborhoods we should keep an eye on? Areas east and north of the city are seeing a lot of growth and redevelopment. We are excited about The Spring District in Bellevue and what that will bring to those areas. What locale is having a moment? The West Bellevue community on the east side of Seattle has seen the greatest appreciation year over year.

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

Florida designer Jim Howard, of James Michael Howard, has earned quite the reputation for his prolific work in designing spec homes. Unlike the cookie-cutter residences of yesteryear that gave spec homes their colorless reputation, in Howard’s turnkey homes, no detail or expense is spared. Each home comes fully appointed with innovative materials and custom furniture pieces (Exhibit A: the Sagaponack, New York, residence below). Here, Howard shares his tried-and-true tips for creating a stylish house sure to please almost any design sensibility. jamesmichaelhoward.com
Look around: Designing for a client is designing for a specific intent or a particular need. In a spec house,
you’re constantly trying to figure out who your buyer is. Pay attention to what I call the vernacular style, or what is happening in the surrounding area. It’s all in the details: Our firm has a strong architectural focus. A typical house for us starts with countless drawings of interior details. Those small things, when done well, are the soul of the house. It takes time, experience and passion. I always say, “There’s doing it right and there’s all the rest of the ways.” Tone it down: I tend to stay more neutral in palette and introduce color in art. In the house shown here, we have plenty of color, but it’s watered down, with varied textures and metals acting as moments of “color.”

STATE OF THE
ARCHITECTURE Since opening his eponymous architecture firm in Austin, Texas, in 2005, Michael Hsu has had a front-row seat to the capital city’s rapidly shifting design scene. His work includes such local gems as the buzzy South Congress Hotel, the much-acclaimed Japanese eatery Uchi, and other area restaurants, office spaces and luxury residences. “There’s a pursuit to be fresh in design, entrepreneurship and culture,” say Hsu of his design-forward locale. “Austin still has a local vibe, but things that we look toward are no longer regional; they are international.” We sat down with the busy architect to discuss the state of architecture today—and where it’s headed. hsuoffice.com
How have homeowners’ tastes changed since you founded your firm 11 years ago? Homeowners are less tied to specific design style or aesthetic. The influence of social media has changed our clients’ perspective on design. They are more educated about hospitality and style and have really amped up their participation in the creative discovery process. What do your clients look for when they’re building a new home? For the most part, they’re looking to construct an open dialogue between their indoor and outdoor spaces to create an extension of the home’s living area. Even when not in use, the views need to be carefully designed so that the inside and outside amplify each other. Where is architecture going? The way people live and work has drastically changed as of late. The usual hierarchy of home, office and hospitality is blurred; we want design in all facets of our lives. In the future, these spaces will continue to be a part of our lives in similar ways as opposed to different.

Most impactful spaces to remodel? It always comes down to kitchens and bathrooms, which are typically the first places a buyer assesses the date and quality of the home. Downsize or upsize? Buy a presale to downsize but don’t sell your current home until it’s required when the new home is delivered. This allows equity to grow on both transactions in a market that’s rising. realogics.com
What do you keep in mind when helping clients find a home? I look at their personality, lifestyle, price point and needs. Young families who stay in the city are often searching for highly rated public schools. In the downtown market, buyers want convenience, walkability and views. True or false: location, location, location? Absolutely true— especially in the high-end market. jamesonsir.com
Curb appeal or big-name architect? Both. Curb appeal is always sought after and brings an exceptionally high premium to a home, but architects that bring life to older historic properties also bring value. Market trend you’re noticing: Buyers choosing quality over size is a welcome trend. Also, I’m happy to see dark, heavy finishes being replaced with spacious, light-filled design. wolfegroupdenver.com
Any exceptional amenities you’re seeing? I’ve started to see talking toilets recently, if you can believe it! Upsize or downsize? Downsize. Get out of your living room and enjoy your neighborhood and the city you live in—or at least have a reason for your kids not to move back home! Stager or no stager? Stager. Making a property look its best needs no explanation; we do dress ourselves up, don’t we? elliman.com
Top things buyers are looking for today? Quality construction and finishes are first; next, is a livable floor plan. Whether it is family game night or an elegant dinner party, people want an open and flowing living space. Where do new buyers want to be? The “live, work, play” lifestyle is here to stay. People don’t want to burn a half-tank of gas to get to the office and back. waltdanley.com

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

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

The current trend of clean, sophisticated and simple yet complex midcentury designs is inspiring.

Asked to describe the philosophy behind his firm, Dan Luna says, “Upholding the highest standards of quality and commitment to my clients is key. Growing up, my dad said, ‘If you are going to do something, do it right.’ I have always lived by that.” The principal, namesake and primary craftsman at Dan Luna Exceptional Woodworking, Luna has spent a plethora of time designing and creating custom pieces for the kitchen and bath, whether architectural details, cabinetry or furniture. Asked to share his advice to homeowners beginning a project in the kitchen or bath, he recommends research, particularly in regard to the convenience you can now build into your space. Technology is making leaps and bounds in nearly every field, and residential design is no exception. “You can now have charging stations, TVs behind mirrors and built-in computers for looking up recipes,” Luna says. “There are also new lighting possibilities.” Known for the stunning woodwork he and his team masterfully create, Luna personally selects and sequence matches materials before beginning each custom project. “We strive to achieve perfection, ensuring the client is 100-percent satisfied with the overall look and function.”

A design studio and premier resource for modern bath, kitchen and tile products based in Anaheim, Eleganza Studio is intimately involved in the creation of California’s luxury kitchens and bathrooms. Lead designer Ani Vardanyan explains the company’s unique philosophy with the passion through which she works. “We believe in the ultimate customer experience,” she says. “Knowledge is key, and we must pass it on to each client, so they can make the most important decisions with certainty. And yet, Einstein said, ‘Imagination is more important than knowledge.’ How true this is in our industry. We strive to combine the two, so that our clients walk out feeling empowered and inspired.” In spaces where the majority of daily time is spent, a cohesive aesthetic design that incorporates functionality is important. “A kitchen should have a seamless look that is both welcoming and visually organized,” Vardanyan says. “A bathroom should have good lighting and a sense of rejuvenation. One of the most important things in both spaces is to keep a cohesive design in order to minimize the elements used within a space, creating a visually balanced feel throughout the home.”

FAMOSA: THE SURFACE STUDIO
“
Don’t let friends and family dictate your style. Everyone will have an opinion, but they won’t be the ones to live with the design.
Known for its impressive selection of mosaics, porcelain, marble, granite and more, Famosa has become a trusted source for surfaces of all kinds in the kitchen and bath. Principals Josiah Lilly and Vanessa Becking point to large-format porcelain with a natural stone look as a key trend in the industry today. “Manufacturers are honing in on the subtleties of stone to create stunning natural looks with virtually no maintenance,” Becking says. While on the topic of trends, Lilly adds, “Modern is still the driving force of style and design. The result is cleaner lines with the focus shifting more to the interest of the material, rather than the complexity of the design. The format of the tile keeps getting larger, and the layers of texture on the tile become the underlying design element.” While a cohesive style can imbue a kitchen or bathroom with a sense of order and thoughtful design, Lilly says that doesn’t mean materials have to be identical throughout. “Using a different colorway within a series or changing up the sizes and layouts of materials can keep things interesting without introducing too many finishes,” he says.

Fahmie goes on to share his greatest piece of advice for homeowners beginning a project, saying, “Hire and involve a professional kitchen designer. We walk the client through every step of the remodel, making it as rewarding and comfortable as possible.”

LA COSTA CABINETS & DESIGN “I consider kitchen and bath design a specialty area in the world of interior design,” says Holly Stosic, chief designer at La Costa Cabinets & Design. “Kitchens and bathrooms have to be functional, beautiful and highly durable, because these are the rooms families utilize more than any other.” A knowledgeable staff and expert customer service combined with a stunning selection of modular and custom cabinetry in a range of styles have helped La Costa Cabinets & Design garner a reputation as a premier destination for those seeking high-quality cabinetry and storage solutions. “It’s all about the customer,” reveals Stosic. “We take our cues from what the customer wants to achieve, taking into account color, décor of the home, trends, technology and always creating something classic. We consistently strive to mix the highest level of function with the desired aesthetics.” Ensuring optimal use of space is critical to the success of each project. “Cabinetry and appliances have to be able to function properly, so designers have to understand the constraints of what is possible within each space,” says Stosic. “Take your time on the design and work with someone who specializes in kitchen and bath design.” 2

Adequate storage and functional cabinetry is imperative in both kitchen and bath design. “Kitchens need a double trash/ recycling center, properly allocated storage and adequate prep space,” says Stosic. “Bathrooms also need plenty of storage space and separate hampers for towels and clothes.” Electrical considerations. “The incorporation of electrical outlets into cabinetry is evolving,” she adds. “For example, a hair dryer pull-out with an outlet in the bathroom prevents you from wiping out everything on the countertop while trying to dry your hair.” Blended aesthetic. “When blending materials such as transitional cabinets with contemporary tile, it has to be blended in a way that makes sense and does not look forced,” advises Stosic.

VISION + INVENTION: A CONVERSATION WITH LORI GENTILE What is inspiring you now? The gorgeous, simple modern lighting available today. I want to wake up tired Tuscan homes in a big way and infuse them with new life and a spark of freshness. What new innovations should consumers keep an eye out for? Large-format porcelain tiles are new and exciting. Used with retractable doors, they create an indoor-outdoor flow and ease of maintenance. It’s what California is all about. How do you choose materials for each collection? Creating a color and textural palette of materials is an instinctual, spontaneous and intuitive process for me.

According to company president Andrew Shore, communication is the key to success. “We understand that construction is stressful for our clients,” he says. “Our goal is to create a process with open, crystal-clear communication, so that design details and the budget are in agreement for the entire project.” Based in Irvine, California, the company services some of the Golden State’s most affluent homeowners. Citing the clients as his greatest influences, Shore observes a change in aesthetic preference. “Orange County has always tended to lean toward a traditional design style, but we are inspired by the more recent shift toward a modern style, whether it’s linear and contemporary or transitional with a twist,” he says. Shore advises homeowners to plan carefully and involve a professional from the beginning. “If you plan every detail, there should not be major financial surprises throughout the duration of the project,” he says. “Work closely with your designer to personalize your space.”

S
everal years ago, the mother-daughter design team of Laura Pavlovich and Ashley Armour walked into John Nelson Antiques in Los Angeles and happened upon a stunning series of painted Chinese panels. “We absolutely loved them—the colors, the scale, the details,” says Pavlovich, “so we kept a photograph in hopes that one day we would have just the right home to place them in.” That perfect house turned out to be the newly acquired San Diego abode of a couple, who—though they resided in California for many years—had lived abroad and traveled extensively. “Just like us, our clients absolutely fell in love when they saw the panels, and they became the complete springboard for the project,” says Pavlovich. “Since the owners have been to so many exotic places yet chose California as their home, we felt we needed to not go with just one look.”
Instead, the four panels infuse a lively Asia-meetsCalifornia feel that extends throughout the house. The design duo placed them in the elegant living room, where they now anchor the space. Joining them are a custommade camelback sofa and a pair of graceful chairs that offer a comfortable place to admire the panoramic views from the windows. From their spot behind the sofa, matching vintage Murano lamps seemingly float in the sky. Between them, in a place of honor, sits a reproduction of a Tang Dynasty pottery horse wearing a string of beads as a necklace. “Our clients have a great sense of humor,” says Pavlovich of the spontaneous embellishment the horse sports. “The wife used to ride, so we joked that it’s now her horse.” Capturing the ease of indoor-outdoor California living was of prime importance to the couple in their ultra-private Mediterranean-style abode.

and built by Ed Prentice of Prentice Construction, allowed Pavlovich and Armour to maximize the effect of light and create seamless transitions to the outdoors. “The architectural style and details capture many elements of a true Spanish Colonial home, like those built by George Washington Smith,” says Pavlovich. “He was one of the first California architects to conceive the relationship between the home and the gardens, and that’s what this house does.” Retractable glass doors in both the kitchen and the great room allow the spaces to flow out onto a covered loggia, while the colors outside inspire the design within. The natural palette of serene blues and neutral shades is visible in the kitchen and elegantly woven throughout the house. “The view was the jumping-off point for our palette,” says Armour. “Our clients wanted to bring the outdoors in, and we wanted to do the same.” Warm white cabinetry plays off a tile backsplash in a soft gray shade (rather than the traditional subway style, this tile has pointed ends, giving a subtle zip of shape), and the large marble-topped island features a similar hue. A whimsical antique French grotesque mask wall fountain on the custom hood greets visitors. “The husband is passionate about cooking,” says Pavlovich, “and one of his favorite elements is the mask. You look up, and it makes you smile.” To enjoy the marvelous food the husband prepares, the couple requested a functional dining room. The designers brought in a custom table, which is just the right size for friends and family to gather around. Cane chairs accented with crackled lacquer and gold penwork surround the table. While they lend a sophisticated element to the space, they’re also comfortable enough to encourage guests to linger long after dinner is over.

junks, from the clients’ own collection, add interest to the wall. “Everything is beautifully crafted and well made. It’s gracious, inviting and comfortable,” says Pavlovich. In a bold move, the clients opted to forgo window treatments in many of the rooms, except for the master bedroom, where simple draperies hang. A custom carpet incorporating the soothing blues used throughout the house is the room’s foundation—Pavlovich and Armour had it woven to the exact specifications of the room, fulfilling the clients’ request for wall-to-wall carpet. There, it joins a mix of gracious antiques, new designs and meaningful
mementos, such as the carved bedside lamps the clients brought home from Asia. “It reminds them of a time when they were living in Hong Kong,” says Pavlovich, “and how they carried them through the streets.” After working together for the past three years, Armour and Pavlovich bring a harmonic collaboration to projects, and they heartily approve the idea that two minds are better than one. “We complement each other very much,” says Pavlovich. “Being of a different generation, she has a fresh perspective, and we work well together.” Adds Armour, “I don’t call it work, I call it play.”
A bespoke headboard conceived by the designers and fabricated by Jonas in New York anchors the master bedroom. Flanking the bed are a pair of Gustavian chests from Alexandra in Charleston, South Carolina. The clients discovered the lamps during their travels in Asia.

t was now or never: Beth Kleid and Rob Graham were ready to move on from their 1940s-era home. And if they were going to find a new place so that their twin son and daughter could enjoy it before leaving for college, they had to act quickly. So when Beth spotted a house in the next neighborhood over, and their real estate agent ultimately showed them inside, they fell in love with the traditional styling that nonetheless carried a “California-beachy” vibe. Beth and Rob then called on their designer and longtime friend Schuyler Samperton to put a stylish stamp on this Shingle-style house, which needed nothing beyond cosmetic treatment. “It was a blank slate,” Samperton says of the house, where, as luck would have it, the walls were already painted in pleasing shades that she chose to leave. “It was a palette of great neutrals, so I could go in any direction I wanted.” From there, working from Beth’s love of antique rugs and modern art, the designer wove a creative tension between old and new throughout each space. The home’s size gave Samperton the chance to help her clients expand their small but significant art collection—a priority that helped drive the rest of the design. “Because the scale was a bit larger, we were able to get some amazing pieces of art,” the designer says, much of which was sourced through the Sears-Peyton Gallery in Brentwood. “Schuyler introduced me to gallery owner Macie Sears, and I felt a kindred spirit,” Beth says. That spirit reveals itself immediately in the foyer. There, an abstract by Shawn Dulaney plays off an antique Khotan rug and 19th-century French console. Samperton also placed a grouping of ceramics that echo the colors in the painting. “I love all the tones,” she notes. “The bronzes and the blues and the beiges. I also love the play of all those textures together.” Samperton created more dynamic juxtapositions in the living room with Michael Abrams’ sleek blue oil anchoring a space filled with crimson tones and traditional patterns. The contrast is even more dramatic in the dining room,
“IT WAS A PALETTE OF GREAT NEUTRALS SO I COULD GO IN ANY DIRECTION I WANTED.” SCHUYLER SAMPERTON 306 / LUXESOURCE.COM
where an arresting Isabel Bigelow oil and a starkly sculptural light fixture serve as a modern counterpoint to the Baker dining table’s more traditional lines. “The owners really like the combination of classic shapes and fabric with more contemporary art,” Samperton says. The works are intentionally unframed, just as they found them at the gallery. “It seemed more young and fresh—a bit less formal,” the designer adds. Thanks to a layout by builder Bob Skibinski, the home’s flow lent itself well to Samperton’s gestures. “Ultimately, the way I designed the home is how I would have wanted it for myself,” says Skibinski, who happens to live right next door. The Massachusetts native had Cape Cod and the Hamptons on his mind when he chose the weathered shingles and crisp white trim outside, but the interior speaks to the California climate with an easy flow that connects the family room, guest suite and home office to the pool outside. Like Samperton’s work inside, Josh Rezac’s modern, minimal landscape contrasts with the home’s traditional architecture. Rather than profusions of colorful flowers that one might see in New England, white predominates: Masses of jasmine and oakleaf hydrangea along with potted gardenias stand out against the lawn, hedges and trees. “They wanted it to be clean and to incorporate the lawn,” Rezac says. Adds Beth, “When I go into my backyard, I have a little break from the city. The gardens are more tailored and pared down, while the inside is more exciting—they have different vibes.” Much of that vibe comes from the vivid patterns of old, one-of-a-kind fabrics Samperton used on pillows and cushions. A riot of blue-patterned pillows, for example, covers the family room sectional. “I’m all about antique textiles—I love trying to incorporate them whenever I can,” Samperton says. Her client feels the same. “I’m a total pillow maniac, and she’s worse than I am,” Beth says. “The textiles are like pieces of art.” The designer complemented those fabrics with a lively Peter Dunham pattern on the armchairs and draperies. “I love that exoticism that has one foot in historical documents,” Samperton says of the updated take on a timeless design. An industrial cobalt pendant over the coffee table adds an informal edge. “It just makes the room more fun and interesting,” says Beth. Just as she did across the main level, Samperton started with a rug design in the master suite and used its muted sepia and cream tones as a backdrop for arresting fine art photography by Jack Spencer over the fireplace and watercolors by Lourdes Sanchez flanking the bed. That approach served her well as she customized the home without ever lifting a paintbrush or moving a wall. “I start with rugs and fabrics,” she explains. “Then it really becomes about stumbling on these pieces that are incredibly compatible.”
Designer Schuyler Samperton found a spot for a table and two chairs from homeowners Beth Kleid and Rob Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection of existing pieces in the living room bay of their new Los Angeles abode. Samperton recovered the chairs in a Rogers & Goffigon stripe, which stands out against the Rose Tarlow Melrose House drapery fabric.
An antique Oushak from Samuelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rug Gallery kick-started the design scheme in the living room, along with throw pillows made from antique textiles gracing a custom sofa in a Jasper fabric. The custom armchairs are covered in a Robert Kime floral, and the vintage brass mirror, flanked by Circa Lighting sconces, is from Nathan Turner. At the center of the space is a vintage coffee table from JF Chen.

From intricately detailed decorative accessories, such as the Granada Sphere (opposite) and elegantly minimalist planters (left), to geometric furnishings, including the Ravi Base (bottom), Stone Yard’s Mitch Brean draws inspiration from a myriad of sources. Stacks of finish samples for clients rest on a table (below).
I
t’s only appropriate that the creative catalyst behind Stone Yard, a cast-stone manufacturer in San Diego, should choose a concrete palace to decompress. For Mitch Brean—the company’s director of design and product development—one of his favorite spots is La Jolla’s Salk Institute for Biological Sciences, the Louis Kahn treasure where he goes to dream about design. He likes to find a place on the lawn and take in the smooth, angular concrete that gives way to soft weathered-wood inserts. This view and the close proximity to the Pacific are what he calls “absolute perfection.” Brean, who started Stone Yard more than 30 years ago, has been drawn to stone and textures since his younger days—he had a rock collection as a child and still has a selection of fossils composed mostly of ammonites. When it first launched, the company focused on old-
world designs, creating planters fit for a spot at Versailles and table bases that referenced beloved European motifs. Today, though, the aesthetic has broadened and his offerings have expanded to encompass avant-garde, laminated-resin pieces, along with traditional styles—yielding an eclectic mix of traditional-meets-modern inventory. “For the contemporary pieces, I start with a more primitive or classical design and streamline it to my liking,” says Brean. “It greatly helps to have a traditional design background, with all its principles of good proportion, as a foundation. Once you have that element down, you can go beyond the constraints and really expand upon your own creativity.” The process, he notes, is akin to an abstract artist who starts out painting realistically. Some of Brean’s newer work, in fact, reflects decidedly Surrealist and Cubist motifs. For example, he’s currently making a side table with a tree stump

Brean (shown below with a mold for one of his designs) eschews trends for timeless forms, be they traditional or contemporary. A sampling of his varied vision (left) includes a whimsical collection of mushrooms, along with clean-lined table bases and edgy seating.
“I’VE ALWAYS LIKED ANGLED THINGS. I PLAY WITH VARIOUS FORMS, AND EVEN TAKE TWO SHAPES AND ADD THEM TOGETHER TO SEE WHAT CAN HAPPEN.”

leg that transitions into a flat top, taking a page from Dali’s playbook and exploring free-form design. Then there’s the Zaragoza collection, which riffs on Picasso’s use of shapes. One look at the multifaceted Pucati side table and Ravi base makes it clear that, for Brean, a triangle is never just a triangle: “I’ve always liked angled things,” he says. “I play with various forms, and even take two shapes and add them together to see what can happen.” As a “very visual” person with a penchant for travel—Brean has visited more than 50 countries— ideas are never in short supply. Most recently, he fell in love with a checkerboard pattern found in the main parlor of the Small Temple at Abu Simbel. He plans to introduce the pattern into a mirror design and build the collection from there. “I will most likely angle the edges to give it a more threedimensional appearance,” he shares. “Texture grabs on to color and reflects light in different ways.” Whether he’s working on something more contemporary or traditional, Brean is compelled by a desire to build something entirely new and get his “hands dirty,” as he puts it. He’ll often come up with ideas during his early morning trips to the gym, draw them up, and then work with his tooling department crew to execute the design. “It is so rare that I just duplicate a piece,” he adds. “By evolving, I challenge myself both personally and professionally, and that’s what pushes my creativity.”
Gothic architecture of the 16th century was the catalyst for the Savoy base. Used singly, it makes a striking foundation for a console, but paired, it can become the base for an impressive dining table.

Architect Eric Olsen chose burnished Merlex stucco, cedar siding and shingles, and board-form concrete to create a warm, modern palette for owners Thomas and Bette Vovan’s Corona del Mar home. Landscape designer Chris Fenmore played off the home’s contemporary aesthetic, opting for clean, straight lines, monochromatic colors and low-maintenance plantings.
I
think of architecture as a framework,” says Eric Olsen. “It should be subtle and interact with the landscape so the two can come together and create something beautiful.” The architect recently applied that philosophy to Thomas and Bette Vovan’s Corona del Mar home, situated on a dazzling parcel overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Making sure every aspect of his design embraced the cinematic sweep of the vista, Olsen crafted a home that is at once strikingly modern yet comfortable and welcoming for his clients. The Vovans, who have three children, had been living in Bonita Canyon for almost 10 years before discovering an idyllic property for sale in Spyglass Hill. The lot was ideal, but the existing house, which was composed of compartmentalized rooms with little in the way of indooroutdoor connection, was not. The couple purchased the property and then called Olsen. “A good friend of ours recommended Eric,” Bette explains. “We thought about remodeling what was there, but we sat down and, based on the changes we wanted to make, it made more sense to tear down and start over.” With a blank canvas at their disposal, the Vovans requested that the new house have plenty of fluid space to suit their close-knit family. “I wanted big open areas where we could cook, eat dinner or watch television and be together,” says Bette, who also asked for simple architecture with clean lines. “If everything is calm, you can better appreciate the view. I told Eric I wanted to capture as much of it as possible throughout the whole house.” Olsen not only captured the view, but he tied the house to it, too: A massive glass slider at the rear connects the living, dining and kitchen areas to the backyard terrace and the ocean beyond. “It opens up the entire space so there isn’t a clear

Opposite: The front door from Model Glass & Mirror opens to a skylighted entry where chandeliers by Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co. hang from reclaimed-oak ceiling beams. Olsen appointed the open living area adjacent to the kitchen with a sofa from Design Within Reach and a coffee table from RH.

delineation between outside and inside,” says the architect, who employed a second large glass door in the master bedroom for a similar effect, as well as generous windows in all of the rooms to best frame the scenery. While the rear of the house showcases fantastic transparency, the front is a modernist display of opaque rectilinear forms punctuated by an entrance courtyard that also serves as a space for entertaining and play. “The back terrace is very long and narrow and is primarily used for taking in the ocean,” notes landscape designer Chris Fenmore. “The front courtyard is a more traditional yard with grass, a board-form concrete fireplace and a big tree where the clients can hang a swing. And, I picked an oldgrowth olive tree with a gnarled trunk that balances the straight lines of the architecture.” Olsen wrapped the linear forms of the exterior in various materials that counter each other and offer a layered textural experience. “Most of the walls are a white burnished stucco,” the architect says. “I warmed that up with a cedarshingle roof and cedar siding on the garage doors and the room above the garage.” That loft-like area functions as a hangout for the Vovan children and is the only upper-level space in the otherwise single-story home. “The site is on a hill,” says Ross Savage, the project’s general contractor. “We dug down another 4 feet or so to accommodate the loft, while meeting the HOA’s view requirements.” Rich materiality defines the interiors, too. “My clients wanted clean lines, but they also wanted something organic,” he says. “They’re a family with young kids, so it wouldn’t make sense if everything was perfectly polished. The forms are angular and modern; they needed warm textures to help soften them.” In the entry and the kitchen and dining area, the architect crossed the long rectangular skylights with reclaimed-oak ceiling beams to further add warmth and texture. In the living room, he covered the fire surround with reclaimed-wood panels that offset the basalt hearth and the chiseled-limestone flooring. Olsen sees a house as framework not just for the landscape but for furniture, too. “I always think about the furniture as I design the architecture,” he says. “I even draw it into the plan.” He opted for some modernist classics: An Eames lounge chair and ottoman rest near the living room 334 / LUXESOURCE.COM

fireplace, and Saarinen and Panton chairs gather around the dining table. In contrast, the architect designed an oak platform bed for the master bedroom—it’s a piece that anchors the voluminous space. And for the dining area, he conceived a built-in oak cabinet, and placed a wood dining table and bench that are as stately as they are rustic. The table and a low-profile, deep sofa covered in soft white fabric in the living area exemplify California living at its most beautiful. “They’re casual and comfortable,” Olsen says. “Most people want something modern, but a little bit of ruggedness makes the house more livable.” A muted palette throughout most of the house directs attention toward the view and evokes a feeling of serenity. But never forgetting about balance and the fact that there are exceptions to every rule, Olsen dressed a room shared by the two younger children with vibrant color and whimsy. “I hung these colorful hot-air balloons and found little globes that I painted.” Olsen also outfitted the room with a yellowand-white rug, a red armchair and a turquoise side table, all designed by Jonathan Adler. “What I do is a big deal,” the architect says. “People have worked hard the majority of their lives to build their dream house, and I’m the person who gets to help them achieve that. I get to create space that enhances their lives and makes them happy.”

The rug and coffee table are from 503 Found. Views into the landscape, installed by Instant Landscape, can be glimpsed from the space.
Creating a peaceful, serene environment drove Olsenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concept for the master bedroom. Bocci pendants from Lumens Light + Living flank the custom platform bed. The lounge chairs on the adjacent terrace are from Gloster; the table is from Teak Warehouse.

CHAIRS FOR CHARITY Luxe Interiors + Design and ASID Orange County Chapter were honored to be part of the annual Chairs for Charity event, which benefited the Ronald McDonald House. Twelve talented designers came together to create one-ofa-kind chairs for a live auction to help raise funds needed to update and create a more comfortable temporary home to the families of children suffering with life-threatening illnesses. The Ronald McDonald House helped 2,688 guests and 874 families in 2015, and, with the help of these designers, the Chairs for Charity event raised a lot of money to assist even more.

TRANSCENDING
TIME
“ANY GREAT WORK OF ART REVIVES AND READAPTS TIME AND SPACE.” THIS STATEMENT MADE BY COMPOSER LEONARD BERNSTEIN REMINDS US THAT INNOVATION IS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT REINVENTING THE WHEEL, BUT, AT TIMES, REFASHIONING CLASSICS TO FIT OUR MODERN LIVES. THIS SENTIMENT CERTAINLY RINGS TRUE TODAY—PARTICULARLY EVERY TIME THE BIENNALE DES ANTIQUAIRES ROLLS INTO PARIS. THIS SEPTEMBER, THE CELEBRATED ANTIQUES FAIR OBSERVES ITS 28TH ITERATION, PROVING THAT WHILE WE EMBRACE THE MODERN WORLD, OUR FASCINATION WITH CLASSIC STYLE AND DESIGN, AS EXEMPLIFIED IN THE ELEGANT PIECES SHOWN HERE, CONTINUES TO STAND THE TEST OF TIME.
