POGGENPOHL ANNUAL INNOVATION DESIGN CONTEST Innovation Award Winner Hausscape, Miami, FL Luis Bebchik and Reinier Boulart, Hausscape

After a review of exceptional submissions, Poggenpohl is proud to announce the winners in the following categories:

Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects (SAOTA) This minimalist kitchen and pantry for a new waterfront residence integrates a tremendous number of appliances and features, while keeping the look fresh, contemporary and sophisticated.

Functional areas were created including a cooking zone, entertainment seating and a bar.

Poggenpohl can be found in homes in more than 70 countries around the world. Integrating the size and architecture of the built environment, its designers start with a clean slate and work from there, considering the space and the customer’s preferred design theme to create a unique, individual kitchen.

Whatever the brief, Poggenpohl aims for perfection.

POGGENPOHL AND LUXE INTERIORS + DESIGN’S MARKETING TEAM PROUDLY PARTNERED TO HONOR THREE CUSTOM KITCHEN DESIGNS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

Brilliant Small-Space Winner

Bespoke Design Challenge Winner

Poggenpohl Downtown, New York, NY

Beck/Allen Cabinetry, St. Louis, MO

Roger Zierman, Poggenpohl Downtown

Mike Beck, Beck/Allen Cabinetry

After a 30-year occupant moved out, a young couple purchased this apartment, refreshing it with daring and unique finishes from head to toe. The tiny, 49-square-foot kitchen (small even by New York standards) receives its personality from Poggenpohl’s gray nut tree cabinetry and aluminum backsplash— complete with Gorilla wallpaper. Functionality was key, with custom features to clear the countertops of clutter and create space for clever, smaller-scale appliances.

Interior Designer, Property Enhancements, LLC

NAT37_CA_Poggenpohl_0519_sr.indd 2

This kitchen design was part of a complete renovation on the 20th floor of a condominium in St. Louis, Missouri. The entire unit was stripped from floor to ceiling, and reconfigured to fulfill the homeowners’ wishes for an open floor plan. To accommodate their desire for a welcoming kitchen with clean lines, Poggenpohl products were used here and in nearly every room in the home.

The result is a modern, seamless aesthetic.

ON THE GO

This July/August issue marks our annual celebration of global design. In it, we take you around the world— everywhere from a curated concept shop in Marrakesh to a 1950s Berlin high-rise-turned-whimsical hotel, with bicycles suspended from the lobby’s ceiling. We also, always, bring you much closer to home with the best in regional design. While jetting off to another time zone can often inspire, so, too, can your own zip code.

In addition, we’re encouraging readers to take another trip this summer: over to our new digital content site, luxedaily.luxesource.com, where you’ll discover design-related stories galore. Our 13 regional editions of Luxe provide an endless array of styles, ideas and design resources from across the country.

This page: Luxe takes you on an international journey this issue, highlighting such dynamic global venues as Morocco’s L’Hôtel Marrakech (top, left and right), designed by Jasper Conran, and the Berlinische Galerie in Berlin (above).

214 Modern Vintage

“While it isn’t a trend but rather a predictable constant in design, metals were on display at Spring Market. Seeing the way companies like Milling Road for Baker reimagined classic finishes—as they did with the Wrap console—in a fresh and modern way is incredibly inspiring to us. The marble top paired with the sleek, sexy base makes this piece a total showstopper. Vintage was another strong theme we saw in furnishings, art and accessories. We were impressed with the Barrie Benson collection for Highland House. The way she reimagined vintage pieces of furniture and explored bold color palettes was exciting beyond words!”

“Craftsmanship and an appreciation for artisan work were dominant themes at HPMKT, and are a major cultural push impacting interior design today. The usage of materials in their raw form showcases their natural beauty. Our absolute favorite was the Floating Credenza 1702 from Craft Associates Furniture. They used solid walnut to create the most sensual form that celebrates the grain of the wood.”

“Neutrals were being paired with different styles and accents throughout the showrooms we visited at HPMKT. We fell head over heels for the John-Richard Brass Six-Light Chandelier. The white marble paired so fabulously together with the brass—such a modern take on a classic chandelier shape and style. We also loved the Bark Chair by OLY—the classic style with the textured look of tree bark can be used in interior or exterior applications. We love the OLY line in general because of the clean modern vibe that gives a nod to past classic looks.”

Bernhardt

FUTURE TRENDS

What do the Style Spotters see coming to HPMKT this Fall? Look for more vintage-inspired pieces, unexpected artisan touches, and white textures incorporating ethereal finishes.

memo SHANNON RATCLIFFE PUBLISHER

To quote immortal singer-songwriter Nat King Cole, “Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days of Summer” are right upon us. With summer in the “now” and spring in the rearview mirror, let’s recap some of the exciting events hosted by Luxe Interiors + Design. In June, we were honored to partner with the Laguna Design Center and Thomas Lavin for a spring soiree to view the innovative designs in Dakota Jackson’s newest collection. Next, we spent an afternoon viewing the gorgeous architecture of the Craft House restaurant, designed by D’Arcy and Associates, where our guests attended a great networking event. Looking forward, mark your calendars for some of our upcoming fall events. On September 17, Luxe will host a day of design at SOCO, full of engagements, networking and design.

And, on October 7, Luxe will once again partner with the Illumination Foundation for Art of Design 2017, a charity event helping to end homelessness in Orange County.

Now, please sit down with your favorite beverage and enjoy the warm summer months and the latest edition of Luxe.

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

MIMI FAUCETT Writer / Austin My creative influences come from…

Print magazines. Nothing gives me more creative joy than a favorite, familiar magazine still having the ability to surprise me. Long live print!

Favorite book: Grace: A Memoir by Grace Coddington. Not only is the story inspiring, but the hot-orange cover makes this book coffee table-worthy. Top three things on your design wish list: I’m dying for a set of black linen sheets from Hawkins New York—what I consider to be the perfect summer bed set. I’m also currently obsessing over L.A. artist Bari Ziperstein’s quirky ceramic vases, and I’m steadily saving a spot on my wall for a face painting (or two!) from Sally King Benedict. Most fascinating person you’ve ever met: My grandmother, Nana. She’s someone who’s generous with time, laughter and sensitivity, but first and foremost, she’s a listener. It’s rare to get a story about her past, but when you do, it’s always fascinating.

ARIC ATTAS

Photographer / Palm Beach If not a photographer, I would be…

A musician. I’ve performed with jazz, rock and blues bands over the years.

I also create guitar-based Ambient Soundscapes to accompany many of my fine art exhibitions, as I find sound is a great counterpoint to my visually oriented work. Prized possessions: I have a photograph from the first roll of film I shot. It’s a black-and-white print I took at age 12, and I treasure it because I’m intrigued by how this simple close-up of a printing press foreshadowed my fascination with light, space, form and design. Also, my health. Having won two fights with cancer, I am aware of the value of good health, and I cherish it every day. Finally, I love my best friend and studio mate, Macchiato, a 3-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback, who was rescued from an elephant preserve. Upcoming project: I’m excited to be working on new photographs for an upcoming solo exhibition at the Clare Gallery in Hartford, Connecticut, that will run from October 14 through December 31. These cosmos-inspired images explore the intersection of art, science and spirituality.

LX_COM14_Contributors.indd 92

ERIC PIASECKI Photographer / New York What type of design inspires you? Though my personal aesthetic tends to lean toward modern, I enjoy all different types of interiors. Right now, I really like seeing how designers are taking traditional design and adding modern twists to make it more contemporary. If money were no object, I’d buy… A new horse for our barn in New Mexico. Most interesting person you’ve met: Years ago, we were shooting Versace’s mansion in South Beach, Miami, and I got to meet famed photographer Helmut Newton by the gold-tiled pool—it was an over-the-top experience all around! Preferred superpower: It would have to be the ability to fly— no more airplanes! Of course, I would need some kind of side car for all my equipment.

KARA PICKMAN Writer / Miami Favorite design trend: That everything old becomes new again—I could live in any of Terence Conran’s design books, but I’m particularly partial to the 1974 edition of The House Book. And if you’re into obsessing over details (or like to think you are), check out the quirky photo styling in the 1990 edition of Complete Home Storage. Dream assignment: I’m honored to work with innovative clients across the country and around the world who champion art and design, including the Guggenheim, Pérez Art Museum Miami, the Smithsonian, Design Miami/ and many more, and my goal is to always both expand and refine my client list and creative projects.

Most-treasured possessions: The dining room table and chairs passed down to us from my mother-in-law and late father-in-law; they were custom-made in Spain for my wife’s grandmother. The table seats at least 10 and is so large we had to take the dimensions into account when we purchased our first home two years ago. There was no way we were buying a house where we couldn’t eat around that table! If I had $20,000 to blow, I’d…

Commission the custom Cuban floor tiles my wife wants for our sun room—and start the renovation we’ve been planning. On your nightstand: Most recently, Elif Batuman’s novel The Idiot. If not a writer, I would be… An art conservator. Maybe in another life...

VISUAL HISTORY AT VENERABLE COVERINGS COMPANY DE GOURNAY, THE CECIL GURNEY SISTERS CARRY ON THEIR FATHER’S LEGACY WHILE KEEPING THEIR EYES ON THE FUTURE THROUGH A SERIES OF BUZZ-GENERATING COLLABORATIONS. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER

Imagine growing up in a magical world where butterflies flutter along perfectly painted vines and mischievous monkeys frolic up and down the walls. Now imagine that place is your childhood home and those fanciful landscapes are the family business, and you might get a sense of the charmed upbringing had by sisters Hannah and Rachel Cecil Gurney. “We grew up in a stunning house, decorated by our father, just opposite Kensington Gardens in London,” says Hannah. “My sister and I used to sit on the stairs, fascinated by the Chinese figures on the wallpaper.” Depicting peasant life in rural 18th-century China, the pattern, which featured scenes of silk-weaving and porcelain-making, wasn’t just a work of breathtaking decoration, but also a lesson in history and culture. “It was all very exotic to a 6-year-old Londoner, and our father would happily spend hours talking us through it all,” she says. Their father, Claud Cecil Gurney, founded de Gournay, the world-renowned maker of exquisite handmade wallcoverings, christening the brand with the French root of the family name in 1986.

RADAR / BEHIND THE BRAND

The Art Deco period inspired the latest paper from de Gournay.

As the story goes, Claud had trouble finding skilled artisans to restore some antique wallpaper in his home; so, through the Chinese Trade Commission in London, he located artists familiar with the painting techniques in mainland China.

Working with the craftsmen, he began to create hand-painted papers, reigniting a tradition that had begun in the early 18th century, when chinoiserie was all the rage among the European aristocracy.

By staying true to original production techniques— typically six artisans work on a single paper that can take up to 150 hours to produce—Claud created a truly bespoke luxury item. Today, his daughters help run the company—Hannah as director, and Rachel as the global style manager—putting their stamp on a number of forward-thinking initiatives while preparing to take over the family business when their father retires. “Our father has been wonderful about allowing us to make decisions and take on a lot of responsibility,” says Hannah. “He understands that if he is serious about handing over the reins, he needs to trust and support our ideas and allow us to learn from our mistakes. We love what we do so much that we want to ensure we safeguard it for the next generation.”

The company’s vision has expanded to include both more contemporary designs and ones that reflect other global perspectives, such as the more abstract Japanese and Korean collection, an

example of which features a weeping willow motif, or the Papiers Peints Panoramiques collection, which is inspired by 19th-century French murals of exotic scenes. “While de Gournay has always been seen as a company that makes very traditional hand-painted papers, my sister and I encourage a more modern aesthetic through employing innovative new techniques and colorways, as well as developing new collections,” says Hannah.

One strategic move that has proven successful: a string of high-profile collaborations, the most recent of which is an au courant take on an Art Deco motif inspired by and created in conjunction with Harrods department store. “Art Deco is making a comeback in interior design, and I love the use of geometric shapes, gilt and lacquer in interiors,” says Rachel. “The new design features an ornate scallop pattern gilded onto a metallic background with hand-painted watercolor accents.” Adds Hannah, “The wallpaper has a contemporary edge that we think will appeal to a whole new audience.”

In the quest to expand the brand’s reach, de Gournay pairs up in September with style icon Kate Moss, the latest partnership to feature a boldface name more synonymous with the runway than the annals of interior design. Other recent sartorial collaborations include Matthew Williamson, Jenny Packham and Moda Operandi.

Most recently, the company teamed up with Italian fashion label Aquazzura for a line of embroidered footwear and a Tropicalia-inspired wallpaper (shown in part on the previous page), which they developed as a nod to brand founder Edgardo Osorio’s Colombian heritage.

Of the synergy between the company and the fashion industry, Hannah feels it’s a natural fit—after all, wallpaper is a form of dressing for one’s home.

“There are a lot of similarities between couture and de Gournay,” she says. “We make everything by hand to the highest quality while offering limitless bespoke capabilities. Furthermore, people with style tend to have flair when it comes to their interiors, and vice versa. These days being stylish extends to a whole lifestyle, not just your clothing.”

RADAR / BIG IDEA

All handmade rugs tell a tale, spinning a narrative through silk and wool. In the case of Amadi Carpets, there’s another story as well: In 1984, the Ahmadi family fled war-torn Afghanistan to neighboring Pakistan, eventually emigrating to America with little more than the clothes on their backs and a talent for weaving.

Here, Zubair Ahmadi, one of the five brothers behind the brand, shares with us the company’s artistic and philanthropic vision.

For 20 years, Amadi Carpets has created some of the most dynamic and finely made rugs on the market. How did you learn the skills of the trade? Growing up in a family of nine children in Afghanistan, we learned the art of weaving from our mother, whose family opened the first silk-weaving factory in Kabul during the 1960s. As a kid, I worked on the loom alongside my brothers after school. We also learned to restore different types of antique rugs and textiles from various countries over the years, so we not only have a knowledge of the construction, but we’re familiar with different techniques and styles. Those same skills eventually led me and my brother, Zabi, to open

WRITTEN BY BRITTANY S. CHEVALIER

our own small 400-square-foot workshop in Los Angeles in 1995, where we refurbished rugs found at flea markets and auctions. Today, all five of us—Zabi, Assad, Jawid, Murtaza and me—work collectively on operations and designs at Amadi.

How did you grow the company from a local repair shop to a global enterprise? Two years after opening our shop, we couldn’t find the quality of rugs we desired. We learned of numerous Afghan weavers who had fled to nearby Peshawar, Pakistan, during the civil war in the 1990s. We feel a deep connection with the people of Afghanistan and were looking for a way to assist those refugees. Zabi made the journey to Peshawar in 1997, and, coincidentally, ran into a foreman who worked in the factory that belonged to our mother’s family. Hiring him and his family led to employing other refugees. As the years went on, five looms turned into 10, 10 turned into 200, and soon we were employing over 1,000 Afghan weavers living in Pakistan.

At what point did you move the weaving operation back to Afghanistan? After the country’s liberation from the Taliban in 2003, many of the workers returned to Afghanistan.

That’s when we opened our first weaving workshop in Kabul and our focus shifted to employing an ignored sector of the population: women. It was our goal to create a safe workplace

where women would be empowered to make a living. It wasn’t easy: Even though we were from Afghanistan ourselves, we had to convince fathers, husbands and brothers that we were setting up a safe, harassment-free environment for their daughters, wives and sisters. Providing transportation to and from work offered them further protection. Additionally, due to four decades of ongoing war, a whole generation has been raised without an education; therefore, we offer one hour of basic reading and writing lessons every day.

In terms of the process, what distinguishes you from other rug companies? Since we control our own production, we get to be more creative, productive and effective than a typical rug gallery or company. From sourcing the raw wool to washing it, carding and dying it, we control every step. And the fact that we are improving lives along the way is an added plus.

Share what’s next for Amadi, design- and philanthropy-wise. We want to be more than a rug company. We’d like to launch furniture and textile lines one day. In terms of giving back, our goal is to extend the outreach of our programs and build more weaving centers in other parts of Afghanistan. After all, women are the backbone of the family, so if you help one woman, you help many people beyond her.

ROMANCING the STONES THE DESIGNER BEHIND MATTHEW STUDIOS TRAVELS THE WORLD SEARCHING FOR RARE CRYSTALS AND SEMIPRECIOUS GEMS TO CROWN HER LUXURIOUS LIGHTING AND HARDWARE COLLECTIONS. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER PHOTOGRAPHY BY NINA CHOI

LX_COM14_Radar_Bespoke_MathewStudio.indd 102

When you walk into Katherine Wildt O’Brien’s studio, you’d be forgiven for thinking you stumbled into a jeweler’s workshop or a geology buff’s paradise. A panoply of glimmering stones greets visitors of the space—with bright crystal quartz, deep violet amethyst and gleaming pyrite, also known as fool’s gold, all on glorious display. Unearthed from the farthest reaches of the globe, the shining specimens inspire New York City-based

Matthew Studios’ collections, which include hardware, lighting and case goods.

Wildt O’Brien’s love of exotic rocks started at a young age. As a teenager, she worked parttime in a gem shop, where an eccentric, elderly West Indian woman taught her about crystals and their properties. Following her passion, she established Matthew Studios, named for her pet rabbit, in 2008. Her big break came when Tory Burch asked her to design crystal luminaries

for her stores. “Just walking into the Tory Burch offices is so inspiring,” she says. “When we got the opportunity to work on custom lamps for her, it was a dream come true, not to mention a creative learning experience.”

Today, the company occupies a large loft space in Harlem, close to where the designer lives. In fact, it was the area’s African market, just a few blocks away from her studio, that provided the impetus for Wildt O’Brien’s latest hardware line. “I love the handcrafted, global ‘Gypset’ vibe at the market,” she says. “I have been collecting cowrie shell earrings for years and have wanted to do a collection incorporating them, since the cowrie shell is a traditional symbol of wisdom and abundance. Horn is another favorite used in African craft, and a powerful talisman of strength and inner power.” Acquiring it is another story: “It took two years to find a reputable source for naturally shed horn,” she says.

Not surprisingly, Wildt O’Brien’s inspiration board is full of recognizable safari-chic imagery, such as film stills from Out of Africa, photos from vintage Ralph Lauren runway shows, the work of photographer Peter Beard and shots of intricate, hand-beaded Masai necklaces. “The pieces are imbued with a nomadic spirit,” she says. A passion for travel, painting and even flea-market finds also filters into the design process. “I recently found a red-tagged, sale-bin rhinestone purse, and the handle inspired my new metal Harper cabinet pull series,” she says.

Refined settings of polished brass, nickel and chrome allow the stones to steal the show, whether it’s the deep whiskey-hued facets of smoky quartz or the vibrant emerald waves of malachite—both of which are sourced from mines in South America and Africa, respectively.

LX_COM14_Radar_Bespoke_MathewStudio.indd 104

“Simple forms are paired with natural, tonal textures that resonate against hand-cast metal,” Wildt O’Brien says. That juxtaposition of organic forms with polished finishes lends the collection a sophisticated well-traveled vibe that hints at many of the pieces’ exotic origins. Says the designer, “I’m still charmed by the idea that these stones have journeyed around the world to end up in a stylish new setting.”

BEST IN SHOWS SET A COURSE FOR FOUR DAZZLING DESIGN FAIRS, ALL BELLWETHERS OF TRENDS TO COME, IN FOUR STUNNING EUROPEAN SETTINGS. READ ON TO FIND OUT WHAT MAKES EACH ONE UNIQUE.

WRITTEN BY MARY ORE

FEBRUARY 6-10, 2018

▲ BIENNALE INTERIEUR, KORTRIJK, BELGIUM

Reason to go: The best of Nordic style is on full display here, with more than 700 eyecatching new introductions in furnishings, accessories and lighting, in an event that coincides with the festivities of Stockholm Design Week. What you’ll find: Eighty percent of the products are Scandinavian in origin, so it’s no surprise that regional brands, such as up-and-coming lighting design line Pholc, as well as established brands like Svenskt Tenn, whose vibrant style is shown in the vignette at right, are well represented. Smaller makers are celebrated, too, for their reinterpretations of traditional Scandi style. While the fair itself unfolds at Stockholmsmässan convention center, the entire city plays host to over 100 events, installations and parties as part of Design Week. stockholmfurniturelightfair.se

OCTOBER 2018

Reason to go: Small in size, but big in design talent, Belgium is a growing destination for creatives and aesthetes alike, and this highly selective, rigorously curated show happens every two years. A nonprofit fair, the Biennale Interieur’s unique installations often blur the line between commercial design and fine art. What you’ll find: With nearly half of the new products hailing from Belgium, you’ll see innovative twists on regional vernacular staples such as neutral linens, raw and rough-hewn woods, and burnished metals. The focus is on mostly local, European-produced design with a decidedly international point of view, and collaborations across industries or cultures are encouraged. Past galleries represented include Maniera from Brussels, Carwan Gallery from Beirut, and Paris’ Studio Dessuant Bone, whose “Perpetual Motion” installation is shown here. interieur.be

STOCKHOLM FURNITURE & LIGHT FAIR, STOCKHOLM

SALONE DEL MOBILE, MILAN

APRIL 17-22, 2018

Reason to go: Top Italian luxury brands save their launches for this acclaimed show, which is one of the world’s largest and most-buzzed-about furniture fairs, with more than 2,000 exhibitors on display. The fair runs in conjunction with two other shows that alternate each year: Euroluce (with international lighting releases) and EuroCucina (showcasing new innovations in kitchens).

What you’ll find: Aesthetic beauty, perfected over the centuries by the Italians, is the hallmark of the show, which takes place during Milan Design Week. In addition to dramatic displays in the Mario Bellini-designed convention center (like the Cappellini booth at right from last year’s show), the city at large gets into the spirit, offering up its 17th-century palazzos, empty concrete train vaults and even 12th-century churchyards as magnificent settings for designer suites or lines of lighting, making a stroll through the already alluring Italian city full of even more magic and wonder. salonemilano.it/en/

MAISON&OBJET, PARIS JANUARY 19-23, 2018

Reason to go: While one rarely needs an excuse to visit Paris, Maison&Objet gives design aficionados added incentive, as well as a sneak peek into the lifestyle and home decor looks that will soon catch on everywhere.

What you’ll find: Having originated as an exhibition of tabletop decor, the vision for the show has expanded exponentially—it now occupies eight halls, each one’s offerings ascending in grandeur, culminating in full-scale room displays by leading international brands. While the convention center is a 30-minute shuttle ride from the city, ce n’est pas grave—new grave talents to discover, like Zuza Mengham and Glassworks, the artists responsible for the objets at left, respectively, make the trip worth it. Occurring simultaneously in the city is Paris Deco Off, a showcase for the newest textiles and wallcoverings from top global companies. maison-objet.com 116 / LUXESOURCE.COM

#INSTACRUSH @jeffmorrical

WHO: Since moving to L.A. to attend Sci-Arc, artist Jeff Morrical has used his architectural studies to design single-sheet paper sculptures shaped by folds and gravity.

WHAT: Morrical loves the duality of making fine art pieces and sculptural “creatures” and then capturing them in natural settings, such as Joshua Tree National Park. In his new series, The Framed Horizon, his pieces juxtapose against rigid structures, including frames and walls.

WHY: Finding form in everyday materials has always been a source of inspiration for Morrical.

The folds give the paper a springy quality, adding lightness and movement to his work.

SHOPS + SHOWROOMS

The latest Los Angeles openings offer it all. After 10 years at the Pacific Design Center, Ralph Pucci (1025 N. McCadden Pl.) has relocated to a nearly 12,500-square-foot space off Highland Avenue. The former dance studio now houses Pucci’s collection of works by designers such as Hervé Van der Straeten, India Mahdavi and Andrée Putman. New to the Pacific Design Center is Furth Yashar & (8687 Melrose Ave., B260), a distinctly different kind of gallery focused on contemporary collectible design. “There’s amazing talent not represented in L.A.—we felt the area needed a space that doesn’t fit the typical model,” says artist and brand manager Sean Yashar of the Culture Creative, who founded the gallery with his partner, interior designer Oliver M. Furth. Just a few blocks away, the Nicole Sassaman showroom (116 Robertson Blvd.), shown above and below, displays the acclaimed designer’s signature mix of feminine and spirited home decor, fashion accessories, artwork and books.

THE INSIDER

MARTYN LAWRENCE BULLARD WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY HEATHER CARNEY

The first thing you’ll notice in Martyn Lawrence Bullard’s new atelier is the punchy patterns, then the striking colors, and finally, you’ll spot the whimsical light fixtures floating overhead. It’s a lot to take in, and that’s by design. After all, this 2,100-square-foot-space on Melrose Avenue is meant to personify the celebrity designer’s eclectic-glam aesthetic. “It’s a whole Martyn Lawrence Bullard world,” he says of his first-ever showroom. “L.A. is filled with life—people here are not scared of color, or of genres or of being avant-garde. I hope my space is a mirror image of that.” Here, the designer speaks about his travels, upcoming projects and decorating with color. martynlawrencebullard.com

How is the space configured? It has these amazing large windows that look out onto Melrose Avenue. I covered the ceilings in a silver Mylar that bounces light throughout the space.

Using my wallpapers, I divided it into sections for showcasing furniture, accessories and art, and I created a separate wallpaper and fabric gallery

You’re definitely not shy of color. I love color, and I’m not scared to use it. Color is making a big comeback—the days of cream-on-cream and all beige are gone. I’m seeing the design trends move toward including pops of color and statement pieces in the mix, such as lacquered furniture or a great work of art.

Speaking of art, what works do you feature in the showroom? I’m representing some wonderful photographic artists, such as artist Cheyenne Randall, who takes iconic imagery and hand-paints tattoos onto it. Then, there’s Ruven Afanador, a fashion and portrait photographer who did a collection of beautiful gypsy flamenco dancers.

They’re slightly esoteric and mix well with Pop art. featuring my collection with Schumacher, as well as pieces from Candice Held in Palm Springs and collections from South Africa and London.

What’s on the floor? I recently picked up a beautiful 1970s sculpture and some cerulean-inlaid tables while in London. I also found a collection of ’60s and ’70s Murano glass bottles and sculptures.

I just got a Portuguese bed and console that I updated by lacquering the bed in a high-gloss

What’s next? I have a collection launching with Frontgate in September, and another wallpaper line on the horizon with Cole & Son. Between now and into early 2018, I’ll be working on a variety of hospitality projects: Tommy Hilfiger’s legendary Raleigh hotel in Miami, the Four Seasons Residences in L.A., and Kimpton’s The Residences at Seafire on Grand Cayman. And, to top it all off, I have a new TV show in the mix.

Tell us about your vision for the atelier. It’s a melting pot of all the styles in my own lines and fabric collections. It’s an emporium. There’s pattern on pattern on pattern. That’s something I love in my work, but it also demonstrates how you can shake things up and mix periods.

HUBBARDTON FORGE

“

As a lighting designer, I should not be too focused on only the light fixture, but how that fixture interacts with the entire space, even if I don’t know what that space looks like.

” LED: LIGHTING THE FUTURE

An evolution in lighting design has taken place, incorporating new materials and technologies. Instead of retrofitting existing designs with LEDs, Hubbardton Forge has been developing designs specifically around the technology. To this end, the company has developed new initiatives, like using a local glassblower for many of its pieces and working with a local firm to develop LED components, thereby decreasing its environmental footprint.

“We’re using LEDs in new and interesting ways,” Kitts says. “With our Möbius mini pendant, we were able to shape and form the light-guide element so that it becomes a sculptural aspect of the piece.”

When lighting the kitchen or bath, Hubbardton Forge’s director of design, David Kitts, has this one directive. “Select light fixtures that you love; not just like. The bathroom should be your own personal oasis, and your kitchen should be a place where friends and family gather.” Insightful advice from the design lead of America’s foremost luxury lighting manufacturer. Lighting sets the mood, so he suggests mini pendants in multiples over a kitchen island and a chandelier or pendant with dimmable light above the tub. “The pendants won’t interfere with the line of sight for guests or family in the kitchen, and the chandelier creates a spa-like atmosphere in the bath,” he continues. A true American success story, Hubbardton Forge is known for pushing the limits of form and materials to create handcrafted designs that meld the artistry and functionality of lighting. With 230 designers and makers, engineers and production team and staff, the HF team views the world through unique prisms as they create beautiful pieces. Take Kitts’ recent trip to Reykjavik, Iceland, where its street art opened his eyes to a new way of looking at lighting. “I was inspired not by the content or quality of the work, but how the art interacted and contributed to the space, the building and the neighborhood,” he says. “Walking past the same mural on a sunny day and then again on a stormy day could be two very different experiences.”

Kitchen and bath remodels are no small feat, so make sure to invest the time and resources up front. Bring design inspirations in hand, and work with a professional to achieve the look you want within your budget.

According to the team at Cosentino, when it comes to surface solutions, granite has always been popular, but more consumers are moving toward quartz for its array of colors, lower maintenance and higher durability. And when it comes to style, they’re seeing contemporary themes, including industrial (midcentury modern and coastal), that combine clean lines, built-ins and simple cabinetry. As innovators in the world of kitchens and baths, Cosentino should know. The global company offers the latest in surfacing solutions by staying at the forefront of trends and manufacturing technologies. With the widest array of color and material choices, the company stresses the importance of cohesiveness so everything works together in the completed space. “Think long term,” the team says. “ ‘Will you love that bold color in a few years?’ ‘If you sell your home, would your choices be appealing to other buyers?’ “ They also cite the importance of weighing your lifestyle as much as your style.

“While it’s easy to make decisions based on looks alone, it’s important to think about how you use your space.” These answers inform everything from material choice to amenities one should include in their kitchen or bath.

STYLISH + SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS When you choose Cosentino products, you are getting the best on the market. Their advanced technical qualities, wide color options and 25-year warranty stand apart from the rest. For countertops, the new N-Boost advancement improves the color and luster of Silestone quartz, and makes it easier to clean than ever before. And while Dekton, the ultracompact surface with superior durability, isn’t new, Cosentino continues to create innovative color options that replicate the look of other materials. For energy efficiency and environmentally friendly products, Silestone’s ECO Line delivers with a series of colors made from up to 75-percent-recycled content, while Dekton Trillium is made from 60-percentrecycled content. Additionally, the company pays special attention to maintaining low emissions and a 98-percent reuse of water.

“

We believe in clean lines and timeless elegance with user-friendly features and the highest quality materials for every type of cook.

Harmonious design is also key, making sure everything aligns perfectly together in the kitchen.

Unique features, the latest innovations and harmonious design characterize the centuriesold kitchen appliance manufacturer Miele. Since its founding in 1899, the German-based innovator has remained true to its philosophy of “Immer Besser”, or forever better, forward-thinking, environmentally friendly kitchen designs with the added promise of superior quality, convenience and the most discerning attention to detail. “We want to ensure that our customers have peace of mind when choosing Miele for their appliance needs,” vice president of marketing Christian Schwarz says. As the kitchen continues to be the hub of the home and a central location for entertaining and living, Miele rises to the occasion with colored appliances, steam and induction options, and smart technology as the “connected” kitchen grows in prominence. One example of this technology is Miele’s innovative M Touch display, which can be found on its ranges and ovens. Fast, easy-to-use and self-explanatory, these appliances operate intuitively by simply pressing or swiping with your fingertip. Be sure to visit a Miele Experience Center to explore further or participate in a cooking class to learn more from the experts at Miele.

WOOD-MODE FINE CUSTOM CABINETRY

“

For 75 years, Wood-Mode has been producing high-quality cabinetry with time-honored techniques that blend timeless craftsmanship and functionality with a fashionforward approach to design.

”

For affluent homeowners and designers, Wood-Mode products are easily recognizable, from their wide variety of stains and finishes, to well-proportioned door styles and detailed moldings. But the high-end cabinetry manufacturer goes beyond the surface with smart features, such as motion technology for doors, unique storage solutions and integrated lighting, that increase the functional use of any space. “The integration of LED lighting into Wood-Mode cabinet interiors continues to evolve and will become more prevalent,” director of design John Troxell says. “Technology and design innovations have made former challenges, such as interior, recessed vertical lighting and drawer bank lighting, a standard option now.” When discussing trending styles, Troxell says transitional and contemporary looks continue, drawing on recycled materials or midcentury modern details to define the effect. No matter the style, the team at Wood-Mode agrees—cohesion is key. And when starting any renovation, they offer these tried-and-true tips: Do your homework; develop a wish list; establish a budget and a time frame; and collect images of rooms, features and products you like. Troxell adds, “A growing array of materials and finish applications will provide consumers and designers with greater possibilities to create kitchens and other rooms that are uniquely personal.”

WOOD-MODE ON … ILLUMINATION + INNOVATION Wealthy urban and suburban homeowners are increasing the square footage of their kitchens, combining multiple spaces into one large, open-concept area. This provides us with a lot of opportunities, including custom-made furniture like bookcases and desks, along with breakfast nooks and multipurpose islands. Designers and homeowners also have the option to select species and finishes that complement or contrast within their design. Other trends include interior lighting with integrated LED, under-cabinet and in-cabinet options. We continue to be inspired by advances in storage and functionality as well. And metal is making its mark, with stainless-steel countertops and metallic fronts for cabinets increasing in demand.

ZEPHYR

When asked to describe the philosophy behind Zephyr, company president Luke Siow says, “We strive to transform the kitchen through design, discovery and care. Through our products, design partnerships and innovative technology, we hope to elevate the kitchen as a center for self-expression, family and well-being.” Fait accompli for the foremost kitchen hood manufacturer, marking its 20th anniversary this year with a look back at the defining moments in the company’s history and its game-changing hoods. The first manufacturer to bring performance and power-driven ventilation to the kitchen, Zephyr made a name for itself with the introduction of its European-style chimney hoods. Since that time, the company has launched industry firsts such as its DCBL Suppression System®, and Bloom™ HD and BriteStrip™ LED products. Zephyr continues to break design barriers and give designers and consumers more options with its new Black Stainless Steel hoods with titanium coating; a sleek alternative to stainless steel. “Consumers believe that heightened design should be central in the kitchen, and are uncompromising when it comes to performance and quality,” Siow says. With thoughtful designs and an ongoing commitment to technological advancement, Zephyr elevated the kitchen hood from a purely utilitarian appliance to an eye-catching, artful centerpiece.

Zephyr continues to change the marketplace by blending form and function to create beautiful, high-quality hoods that are an asset to any home.

ZEPHYR ON … DESIGNER HOODS Since 1997, Zephyr has been at the forefront of kitchen innovation, design and technology.

Aligned with this design-centric approach, the company has partnered with leading designers who balance aesthetics and technology with a masterful eye. In 2004, Zephyr released the Cheng Collection—a signature line of hoods through an exclusive partnership with design guru Fu-Tung Cheng, bringing his artistic and timeless style to the masses. Not long after, Robert Brunner, founder of Ammunition Design Group and the creative powerhouse behind products like Beats by Dre, joined Zephyr to create the innovative Arc Collection. A geometrically stunning marriage of glass and metal, this collection offers designers and homeowners modern sophistication at its finest.

MARA SILBER

INTERIOR DESIGNER MARASILBER.COM

At first sight: I’m completely impressed with Oeuffice’s penchant for reimagining the classics: They manage to create sculptural works of art that are equally functional and versatile. On composition: It’s against this backdrop that the stools prove their inherent duality. They feel natural against the exposed brick but would also easily hold their own in both a formal or contemporary setting. As far as design goes… Italy really has no limits. These stools resonate with the country’s influential style in part because of the simple application of elegant, timeless materials; the Cipollino Apuano marble is super-sleek, the travertine is very porous, and the Rosa Perlino marble is full of movement. Each element is independently unassuming, but in union, striking works of art are born. Lasting impression: Refined, sculptural, bold, fresh and playful.

POST MATES THE PIECES: Ionik Stool and Tuskan Stool THE DESIGNER: Oeuffice FIND IT: mattermatters.com THE INSPIRATION: When Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte and Jakub Zak’s creativity united in 2011 to form their U.K.-based design laboratory, Oueffice, they challenged themselves to imagine limited-edition objects, that were reminiscent of utopian ideals and innovation. Enter the Ionik and Tuskan stools, both part of a second coming of the studio’s Kapital collection and based on primitive stone columns resonant with classical architecture. Handcrafted in Italy using solid-stone blocks, they are modern in aesthetic and scale but maintain the integrity of their inspirational era—an edgy balance very much in line with the contemporary duo’s manifesto.

Lehanneur’s aim to create eye-catching objects that examine nature’s poetic side is realized in this delicate lighting fixture, comprised of a bundle of hand-blown, ribbed-glass tubes in a rich green marble base.

Along with other materials from the series, both the marble and glass were incorporated into the piece in their natural color and condition— inciting a primitive moment in an otherwise distinctly modern piece.

OLIVER M. FURTH INTERIOR DESIGNER OLIVERMFURTH.COM

At first sight: There’s a wonderful sense of fluidity to this light fixture, almost like water that’s lit from within. Artist to artist: In my own work, I’m constantly trying to push the design dialogue forward, and this piece falls in that special spot between design and sculpture. Lehanneur is playing with our preconceived notions of what a lamp is and propelling those ideas a little further. It’s important… To know the rules before you break them. Here, the artist is clearly informed about design, which is why any risks taken clearly paid off. Global musings: As our world becomes larger, it’s increasingly important to look inward and become more focused. For example, I try to figure out what an area offers that’s specific to that place, whether woven silk textiles in Laos or innovative lighting in Paris. I am always on the hunt for the offbeat and the unusual. The French… Have been innovators in decorative arts since AndréCharles Boulle’s then-groundbreaking furniture in the 17th century, and I think Lehanneur is definitely following in the footsteps of his countrymen. Lasting impression: This design is sculptural, graceful, fluid, lyrical and dynamic.

CRATE MATTERS THE PIECE: P2 Lavinia Exagonal Armchair THE DESIGNER: Lazzarini & Pickering for Marta Sala Éditions FIND IT: thefutureperfect.com THE INSPIRATION: A second collaboration between noted Italian architect Marta Sala and Roman architectural studio Lazzarini & Pickering brings us the P2 Lavinia Exagonal armchair, a showstopper from Marta Sala Éditions’ Collection No – 2. Shown in a sumptuous Pierre Frey fabric, the seat’s striking shape and seductive proportions incite immediate interest. One would expect no less from this power collab, but there is still something to be said about a design that equally prizes comfort and allure. And in the case of the P2 Lavinia: Mission accomplished.

LEO PARRELLA

INTERIOR DESIGNER LEOPARRELLA.COM

At first sight: The Lavania Exagonal armchair is incredibly modern and reminiscent of Italian furniture from the 1960s and ’70s—a fitting result from this pairing of industry leaders. The piece is as smart from behind as it is straight on, and the exacting lines are both gorgeous and unapologetic. As a first-generation Italian… I may be biased, but I feel that Italy is the undisputed leader in design. Be it automobiles or architecture, furniture or fashion, the legacy of our people is bold, thoughtful design, and this piece is clearly Italian-born. Global gatherers: The hunt and find is one of the more thrilling parts of what I get to do with interiors. Pieces collected from around the world add that transportive element of a life welllived. And an international piece with heritage or a good story gives a sense of being collected rather than assembled. Lasting impression: This striking seat reads as stylish, architectural, luxurious and dramatic.

SEND AND DELIVER THE PIECES: Mali Vases and Jethi Vases THE DESIGNER: Jaimal Odedra FIND IT: maisongerard.com THE INSPIRATION: Moved by the melodious rhythm of bamboo forests, decorated fashion vet Jaimal Odedra set out to explore a new medium with his Mali and Jethi vases. Using bronze in the traditional sand-casting technique, the vases are handmade by artisans in Morocco, and though Odedra visualizes each form and silhouette, the life of each piece is organically determined by the skilled hands that shape it—resulting in one-of-a-kind mini masterpieces.

CONSUELO PIERREPONT AND KATIE SPALDING INTERIOR DESIGNERS SWAY-STUDIO.COM

At first sight: Jaimal’s pieces exude a dramatic subtlety and a relaxed-luxe nature. They’re extremely elevated and yet artisanal all at once.

We are really drawn… To the versatility of these beautiful objects. They are such unique designs but don’t have an obvious provenance, in the best way possible. In design, culture and spirit… Morocco is perpetually inspiring with its use of colors, shapes and the effortless ability to seamlessly blend everything together. While these vases are a more modern interpretation of these traits, they embody the country’s unmistakable mélange of the organic and the well-crafted. Global musings: Nothing adds layers like sourcing from around the world.

Our clients want to know the stories that are attached to a piece; they want us to use pieces that tell a part of their story. Jaimal’s works seem to do just that. Lasting impression: Fluid, effortless and memorable.

At first sight: The Celestial bowls are the perfect fusion of traditional forms with modernized midcentury ideals. While the shapes are evocative of ancient pottery, the studded embellishments are extremely current and pack an edgy punch. Ceramics (and Tulum for that matter) are… Having a huge moment, which makes Elad’s latest collection even more special and relevant. It’s really lovely to see regions with a long-standing relationship to these materials and techniques making a mark on contemporary design. The resulting pieces always seem to have the most integrity. At home: I imagine these objects functioning beautifully as both decor and utilitarian objects. I’m already picturing filling them with fruit or creating an unexpected floral arrangement. Lasting impressing: The Celestial bowls are modern, punk, classical and statement-making.

CASED GOODS THE PIECES: Celestial Bowl on Stand in Gold + Green and Celestial Bowl on Stand in Gold + Black THE DESIGNER: Elad Yifrach FIND IT: l-objet.com THE INSPIRATION: Elad Yifrach, the mastermind behind lifestyle brand L’Objet, fell in love with Tulum, Mexico, the moment his senses connected with the town’s lustrous and unparalleled warmth and energy. This beachy nook along the Yucatan Peninsula and its storied history inspired a collection of earthy, charmingly desaturated and understated yet elegant pieces. The Celestial bowls, especially, speak to Yifrach’s devotion to Tulum’s vibrancy and aesthetic: a little bit wild but nevertheless the pinnacle of authenticity.

WHITE GLOVE THE PIECE: The Man Ray Glass Leaf Mirror THE DESIGNER: Cox London FIND IT: rosetarlow.com THE INSPIRATION: After years of creative collaboration and a mutual affinity for the decorative arts, design duo Christopher and Nicola Cox officially joined forces in 2005 with the launch of their London studio. Ever since then, they have been producing exquisite and original pieces—the Man Ray mirror being no exception.

A love letter to 19th-century French Dieppe bone mirrors, the Man Ray is a striking blend of handpulled ivory glass leaves, carved silver gilt wood and hand-silvered mirror plate, and embodies the very vision of its creators: designs that are rich in technique and timelessness.

MAX HUMPHREY INTERIOR DESIGNER MAXHUMPHREY.COM

At first sight: This showstopper of a mirror appeals to me in that it is extremely delicate but commanding of your attention—a true statement piece indeed. It also speaks to the fabulousness of Cox London as a company. Add Rose Tarlow’s stamp of approval and I’m sold.

As an Anglophile… With a lifelong obsession for all things British—pop music, movies, art and design—this mirror epitomizes the U.K. tradition of things not always being what they seem. At first, I thought it was comprised of a million little shark teeth à la Damien Hirst’s renowned tiger shark in formaldehyde sculpture, which like this mirror, doesn’t fully register until staring it right in the face.

On composition: I love the contrast of this fragile piece dwelling in an industrial space, when one would normally anticipate it living in a traditional environment. Lasting impression: This mirror is delicate, intricate, beautiful and unexpected.

While there’s no place like your own abode, we’d wager that any one of the hotel kitchens or baths we hand-selected for the following pages would prove suitable exceptions. Hot spots such as this Soho House Istanbul apartment have all the calling cards of luxury lodging but enjoy amplified comfort and convenience thanks to design details—such as this fully integrated kitchen and bar—reminiscent of a residential space.

Offering more than simply mini bars and plush towels, our top picks also boast walk-in showers clad in hand-painted tile, or even contemporary freestanding tubs set against historic architecture.

So, kick back, relax and plan for an extended stay, because these design-driven destinations feel a lot like home—only better.

However, the space—featuring a customizable cabinet system designed by Piero Lissoni for Boffi with black granite countertops and appliances from Gaggenau, Miele and Sub-Zero—is in fact ensconced in one of The Mark’s Premier Three-Bedroom Suites in New York City.

Such is the case for The Parachute Hotel—designed by Scott Horne and Peter Dolkas— which invites guests to experience the Parachute lifestyle (and perhaps, most importantly, its genius bedding and bath textiles) firsthand.

THE LOOK / SPACEX3

WONDER WALL A white-on-white room may come off as lacking imagination—a blank canvas waiting to be filled. But Annette English injects plenty of personality into this Pacific Palisades living space with rich dimension and a bit of gloss. 1 / Great Plains: Dodge the flat-white effect in your monochromatic design by sticking to well-illuminated areas for your pale color scheme. The bright sunlight of this generously lit living room helps the space feel animated. 2 / Gilded Lily: A little texture is all you need to turn tonal layering into a complex composition. Here, a towering splitface limestone fireplace, set behind a custom Ironies Jaeger chandelier from Kneedler-Fauchère, injects a raw, unfussy quality. 3 / Soft Glow: Thanks to their reflective nature, metallic accents gleam best when combined with crisp white elements.

Against the room’s pale backdrop, for instance, this sinuous coffee table by Ron Arad practically glistens, while its fluid structure beautifully breaks up the room’s linearity. 4 / Green Envy: If a pop of color is required, verdant green can make a startling addition— accomplished here beautifully with ceramic lamps in a mottled finish.

Straight-laced modernism heads to the French countryside, letting its proverbial hair down in this inviting Newport Beach breakfast area designed by Jan Turner Hering, who softens the look with raw wood and soothing hues. 1 / Milk and Honey: Not all pale paints are made equal; instead, turn to the creamy spectrum for your wall color to inflect a subtle warmth. Here, a custom blend of milky hues was used, made in a velvety finish. 2 / Raw Refined: White takes on a rugged quality when contrasted with unvarnished textures. This is deliciously done in this space with rosy, reclaimed oak in the wide-plank wood floors. 3 / Main Attraction: Furniture needs to stand out on its own in a minimalist space, drawing the eye with dramatic silhouettes rather than decoration. Case in point: this stunning custom breakfast table with its bold, crisscrossed legs. 4 / Blue Crush: A few antiques add an intimate touch to a modular space. These Chinese blue-and-white porcelain pieces from the 19th century introduce interest and sophistication.

For this master bedroom in Coronado, designer Kellie McCormick turned to the East Coast for aesthetic inspiration, invoking the composed serenity of a New England cottage with a snowy white palette. 1 / Do Not Disturb: Forgo the frills and embrace the empty expanse of your walls for a casual, relaxed atmosphere, using only the essentials as accents, like this pair of discreet silvery wall lamps for late-night reading. 2 / True Character: Stark white takes on a modern farmhouse mood with some traditional cladding. These sleek and elongated board-and-batten panels lend texture and depth, while still feeling modern. 3 / Opposites Attract: Is there anything more sophisticated than white with black? A charcoal linen-upholstered sleigh bed takes a softer approach to the classic color pairing, with stronger accents on the black-and-white end table. 4 / High Expectations: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disturb your beautiful vaulted ceiling with an elaborate fixture. Instead, something subtler is called for in this tranquil space. In a pale shade, this oversize drum fixture by Boyd Lighting fits the bill.

PREPARE FOR TAKE-OFF AS LUXE SETS AN INTERNATIONAL AGENDA THAT INCLUDES AMAZING ARCHITECTURE, INSPIRING INTERIORS AND MUST-SEE SIGHTS. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY MICHELLE BRUNNER

FLIGHT OF FANCY Modern technology has put inspiration at our fingertips, dissolving traditional boundaries and making even the most remote pockets of the planet feel within reach. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the world of design, where at any given moment, creatives have access to a virtual library of beautiful images and products from around the globe without ever having to leave home. While armchair travel is a lovely way to kill a few hours, sometimes it’s necessary to put down that smartphone, hop on a plane and go see the sights firsthand. After all, there’s no comparison to experiencing the architecture of Marrakesh or Shanghai in person. To that end, we recruited a few of our favorite industry experts to share some of their top international spots for design lovers.

English artist Claire Brewster creates intricate paper sculptures from cut-out maps of the world. Birds in flight are a favorite subject, as in Done and Dusted shown here.

MARRAKESH EXPRESS

One look at her iconic line of carpets and textiles, and you can see the Moroccan inspiration behind Madeline Weinrib’s work. The New York-based designer has been making annual pilgrimages to Marrakesh for nearly 20 years.

Below, she presents her top recommendations for shopping and sustenance. madelineweinrib.com

PLACES TO SHOP:

PLACES TO EAT:

33 RUE MAJORELLE Like a smaller version of the legendary Parisian boutique Colette, this open-concept shop just opposite the Majorelle Garden is stocked with an expertly curated collection of clothes, jewelry and art by local designers.

DAR YACOUT Designed by Bill Willis, the late American architect and decorator who helped put Marrakesh on the style map, this dining spot serves a set menu amid dramatic decor.

Plan ahead; reservations are a must.

ALNOUR Located in the medina, or old city, this workshop and store is a social enterprise for handicapped women who are skilled in the art of embroidery. They sell exquisite, handmade linens for the home, as well as clothing.

EL FENN BOUTIQUE With its impressive art collection and drop-dead gorgeous interiors, El Fenn, from Vanessa Branson, Virgin mogul Richard Branson’s sister, is one of the most stylish stays in the medina. Now, it features an adjoining boutique with an array of wonderful home goods, which can be shipped globally.

I’ve collaborated with them on a collection of pillows, and all proceeds from sales benefit a foundation that teaches women to weave in the Atlas Mountains.

LX_COM14_TheReport.indd 180

NOMAD RESTAURANT With a modern menu that features fresh salads, Nomad is my favorite place for lunch in the medina. The café has a lovely terrace that overlooks “spice square,” where you can view all the exotic spice vendors.

Bonus: They take craft cocktails seriously here.

LALLA French owner Laetitia Trouillet crafts chic handbags—think studded leather clutches—and accessories at this boutique in the hip Guéliz district. Her bags, scarves and headbands make wonderful gifts for friends back home.

DAR MOHA This restaurant was once the home of French designer Pierre Balmain. I like to sit by the pool, but all the rooms are charming. There is a set menu with many courses of Moroccan food, so be prepared for a feast.

MAISON DU KAFTAN Perhaps no article of clothing conjures images of Morocco quite like the free-flowing kaftan. Also located in the medina, this store is stocked with versions of the garment in all colors, styles and price ranges.

BELDI COUNTRY CLUB If you need a peaceful respite from the commotion of the souk, you can’t beat this place for a leisurely swim or a spa treatment. Grab a French-style lunch by the pool—the salade nicoise is divine!

ARTFUL LODGER Jasper Conran has designed women’s fashion, menswear, accessories and home goods, but he’s never attached his name and aesthetic to a hotel—until now. L’Hôtel Marrakech is the British designer’s first foray into luxury lodging.

“Opening a hotel has brought together all that I enjoy working on the most: food, textiles, interiors and gardens,” he says. Located in a 19th-century riad (a traditional Moroccan dwelling with an interior courtyard) in the heart of the medina, the otherworldly retreat combines modern-day amenities with oldfashioned glamour. “Marrakesh is a city of amazing contrasts where one can wander along dark alleys and emerge into exquisite gardens and beautiful courtyards,” he says. “I wanted to make L’Hôtel Marrakech a comfortable home, where people feel immediately welcome and happy.” l-hotelmarrakech.com

3 a la mode A half century ago, the desert city of Marrakesh cast a spell over fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, forever influencing his work. To honor that legacy, the long-awaited Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech, designed by Studio KO, will open its doors in October. Located on the street bearing his name near the Jardin Marjorelle—the legendary garden that he and longtime partner Pierre Bergé saved from development in 1980—the museum will feature permanent and rotating exhibitions as well as a library, café and restaurant.

“This city deeply influenced Yves’ life and work, particularly his discovery of color,” says Bergé. “The Studio KO architects share this passion for Marrakesh and their clean, uncluttered style recalls his work.”

German architect Gisbert Pöppler has crafted sophisticated, jewel-box spaces throughout Berlin during his 20-year career. Over the years, he’s cultivated a number of favorite haunts throughout the art-centric city. Below, he shares a few picks. gisbertpoeppler.com

Emperor Wilhelm II, and its garden is a calming hideaway in the middle of the city.

8:30 a.m. I love starting the day with breakfast in the Wintergarten café at Literaturhaus Berlin.

The villa was built in 1889, during the reign of

2 p.m. I stop by Trouvé-Berlin for a little treasure hunting. This vintage furniture store is dedicated to French and Italian design of the 20th century.

10 a.m. Head to Berlinische Galerie (shown above), a new museum whose primary collection is composed of art produced in the city, spanning from 1870 to present-day.

12 p.m. Hunger strikes, so I pop into Salumeria Lamuri, a casual Italian restaurant located in the Kreuzberg neighborhood. It’s my favorite intimate spot for a satisfying lunch with a good glass of wine.

3 p.m. For treasure of a different sort, visit René Talmon l’Armée’s shop. The jewelry designer makes beautiful pieces using 18-karat gold, oxidized silver and naturally colored diamonds.

4 p.m. To get a sense of Berlin’s decadence in the 1920s, check out the museum at the LiebermannVilla. German painter Max Liebermann’s old summer residence by Lake Wannsee holds many of the artist’s paintings and has an impressive garden.

7 p.m. Briefmarken Weine is a low-key wine bar that occupies a former East German storefront— its neon sign “Briefmarken” translates to “stamps.”

With amazing pasta, antipasto and wine, it’s the perfect spot to end the day.

AGAINST THE GRAIN

File this one under happy accidents: Cologne-based designer Meike Harde was staining fabric when some of the pigment spilled onto her wooden worktop, leaving streaks of bold color to run along the grain of the surface. In that moment, her Wooden Aquarelle project was born. Based on a technique once used by German Expressionist painters, Harde’s process of applying color to wood is random, so no two panels are alike. With their intense hues and soft transitions, the panels resemble dreamy, hypnotic watercolors. When applied to furnishings, like the triangular nesting tables seen here, the effect is mesmerizing. meikeharde.com

LOCAL FLAVOR Nearly 30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the German city has enjoyed a renewed reputation as a decadent and cosmopolitan hub for the international art and design scene, and many of its unique hotels reflect that vibe. Here, we present four urban retreats that cater to individualized style.

EDGY LUXURY ECLECTIC AND PLAYFUL 25HOURS HOTEL BIKINI BERLIN Housed in a former 1950s high-rise, this hotel’s youthful vibe comes from the whimsical interiors of German designer Werner Aisslinger. Bicycles dangle from the lobby’s ceiling and hammocks hang in rooms overlooking the city zoo, providing the perfect perch for checking out the wildlife.

SHANGHAI SURPRISE

There’s no shortage of personality in Jamie Drake’s glamorous, modern, color-saturated interiors. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, then, that the celebrated New York designer also has a reputation for being quite the bon vivant.

What better insider to share his idea of a perfect day in the cosmopolitan city of Shanghai? drakeanderson.com 7:30 a.m. Rise and shine at The Peninsula hotel located right on The Bund, the famed waterfront promenade. Enjoy the view of the new city of Pudong across the Huangpu River. From here, I can see the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, an awesome 1,535-foot spire that looks like it came right off the pages of a futuristic comic book.

8:30 a.m. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast in the lobby, the hotel’s airy and spacious hub. The smoked salmon with a single scrambled egg is perfect, and the breads and pastries from the buffet are hard to resist; though, I do try to limit myself.

10 a.m. I always make time after breakfast for a relaxed morning walk along The Bund to admire the city. It’s a good way to get revved up for the day ahead, and it’s the best time to avoid the massive crowds that descend on the area at

lunchtime. With so many different types of buildings, the neighborhood is a living museum of architectural styles.

12:30 p.m. Off to the Longhua Pagoda and Temple. It features a vegetarian restaurant, which is quite common for an active Buddhist temple. The superb main course is a soup bowl filled with carefully prepared garden delights and noodles. In the nearby entry area, school children learn how to make dumplings.

2 p.m. After lunch, tour the pagoda and temple with one of the monks as a guide. The multiple buildings are filled with spectacular carved and gilded deities. I’m in awe of one of the halls in particular; it’s filled with 500 golden statues. My kind of army—peace-loving and glittering!

3 p.m. Check out more furniture showrooms in the design district around Jiangning Road. Some of the wares are eye-poppingly over-the-top, but there are a few quieter, modern offerings as well.

5:30 p.m. Sneak back to the hotel for a muchneeded rest and pre-dinner nap.

8 p.m. If you grow weary of Asian food, opt for French food at the sensational bistro Franck, located in the French Concession neighborhood.

By this time, a martini up with a twist is sorely needed, and much enjoyed. When I’m there, I order a traditional Gallic meal and wash it down with a light Beaujolais. For dessert: rich and decadent chocolate mousse.

10:45 p.m. Lights out—until the next time. Xie Xie!

INSIDE STORY For over 20 years, Kerry Phelan has been a leading force in the Melbourne design scene, creating elegant spaces that are understated but luxurious. Here, she gives us the scoop on her effortlessly hip hometown. kpdo.com

What quality makes Melbourne design unique?

Melbourne has a different feel than Sydney. It has a colder climate, and it’s moodier; whereas, Sydney is all about the sunshine and the harbor. Our design always nods to our natural environment.

Why do you think the city is having a moment?

The influx of a lot of new restaurants, cafés and bars has given designers a chance to be more adventurous. Also, the residential property market is extremely competitive—developers not only employ designers as a marketing tool, but also to promote a Melbourne lifestyle. Finally, there’s Instagram, which is creating its own, universal visual language, bringing Australian design to an international audience.

DRAMATIC TURN Sydney designer Greg Natale, known for his fondness of bold colors and geometric patterns, has won international acclaim for his tailored, sophisticated interiors. Read on for his take on design in the land down under. gregnatale.com What sets Australian design apart? I think our geography has helped to create our own “international” style. We’re influenced by our traditional European roots, but we also admire the creativity and industriousness of America.

Factor in our proximity to Asia and our mild climate, and you can see how Australian design has evolved into its own thing.

the Art Gallery of New South Wales, which is next to the Royal Botanic Gardens, or the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, which is nestled on the shores of Sydney Harbor.

It may sound clichéd, but if you’re ever in town, you must visit the Sydney Opera House to see a show and take in the amazing architecture by Jørn Utzon.

Favorite Aussie designers past and present: I am a big admirer of the late architect Harry Seidler. His work was ahead of its time and his career spanned many decades. His projects weren’t always warmly received, but his provocative work defined a style and an era of Australian architecture.

Dream project: I would love to try my hand at a private jet—who wouldn’t! There’s a challenge in creating a chic interior with so many restrictions on space and functionality.

Must-see sites when visiting Sydney: As an art lover, I always make sure to drop into

LX_COM14_TheReport.indd 209

Favorite local design brands: Chris Connell Design is brilliant for all things furniture, product, interiors and architecture; he’s been a driving force over the last 25 years for original design.

And Bruce Rowe from Anchor Ceramics does phenomenal sculpture and planter vessels.

Up next: I recently launched a collection of decorative glass mosaic tiles with Italian brand Bisazza. I also did a new collection of hand-knotted Tibetan wool and silk rugs, and I’ve got new housewares out later this year.

4757 Sun Valley Road, Del Mar, California 858.356.9212 | annesneed.com

“The ocean, the lagoons and the trails are all beautiful, easily visible and orienting—but the people are what make you stay.”

A

picturesque beach city where the pedestrian way of life prevails, Del Mar is a tight-knit, naturebased, people-centered treasure. Notable interior designer Anne Sneed of Anne Sneed Architectural Interiors recalls the moment when she knew Del Mar was destined to be her home and location for her office space. “When asked how I would most like to get to work (by a career coach), I answered, ‘On my bike.’

It began a thought process, and I had an epiphany that I wanted to live and work in my North County community,” she shares. Today, Sneed’s architectural interior design firm is highly regarded in the region, offering awe-inspiring interior and exterior transformations that speak as much to the home’s natural surroundings as it does its owners. Clean, open, airy and bright, Sneed’s elegant aesthetic brings the beauty of the outdoors inside without disruption. Her clientele, many of whom, she notes, “care about good design,” have given her the opportunity to work in a breadth of styles. “There is no right or wrong, as long as it is authentic. The best work embraces the environment and the person for whom it was designed.

That is part of the beauty of it: the sum of all the unique expressions,” she says.

Sneed’s love for her community extends beyond the natural draw (although hiking Torrey Pines is a cherished pastime of hers), to her neighbors, colleagues, clients and acquaintances. “Del Mar is a real community made up of fascinating people.

People stop and talk when you go to the grocery store, take a walk or sit in a coffee shop. They are engaged in their schools and their government,” she says. “It’s not a group that sits by and observes.”

LOCAL WISDOM: Q+A WITH ANNE SNEED What are some local design events?

I love any event at the Lux Art Institute. I am a huge fan of the Artist-in-Residence talks, where they casually discuss their work, show examples and take questions.

What is your advice to someone visiting for the first time? Shop local. Eat local. Hike/walk/bike. Don’t rush: stop and visit. Don’t over plan. Count on serendipity.

How do you view your area changing over the next decade?

I love the way it is growing and changing already. We are seeing great new locally owned restaurants and shops. That really keeps the feeling of community intact, and if anything, I think we will see more of that.

“It is exciting to design architecture in an area whose natural beauty is so diverse.”

F

rom the cliffs to the beach to the intimate neighborhoods in between, Southern California’s richly varied topography gives way to markedly unique communities. “Neighborhoods only a few miles apart have very distinct characters,” says Jeff Anderson, an architect with the esteemed Newport Beach firm Avalon Architectural. “Laguna Beach has a completely different ‘vibe’ from Corona del Mar, only five miles away. And then just a short drive up PCH, the private islands of Newport Harbor and the Balboa Peninsula offer a whole new inspiration.”

Avalon Architectural has created residential masterpieces along the California coast, as well as luxury desert retreats in La Quinta, Palm Springs and the Las Vegas area, and residential estates in Rancho Santa Fe. Extensive travels around the globe have led the team at Avalon to the same conclusion time and again: Southern California’s weather, economy, natural beauty and unlimited opportunity to enjoy life and run a growing business makes them grateful to call it home. “Coastal California is a rewarding place to practice architecture, because here, a person’s home can be a significant tool to build prosperity.

We design homes for our clients that are both tailor-made for their unique lifestyle and will also one day be marketable to others, should they ever decide to sell,” Anderson says. “It’s part of the dynamic culture we live in: architecture, real estate, development and redevelopment. Hiring an architect should always be an investment with an excellent return.”

1. This four-story terraced Corona del Mar home includes an infinity-edge swimming pool, a commercial-grade elevator and a custom kosher kitchen with separate cooktops and kitchen islands.

The house features floor-to-ceiling sliding-glass doors for indoor-outdoor beach living.

Past, Present + Future The coast of Southern California has little remaining open space on which to build, so many neighborhoods will continue to see demolitions and complete rebuilds; architecture will be about restoration, updating and redesigning as much as it has been about designing homes from the ground up. “It’s an exciting part of our business,” architect Tom Stewart shares, “rethinking and modernizing existing living spaces to meet our clients’ needs.”

UNDERSTANDING THE LAND THROUGH THE SEA “You cannot really appreciate the beauty of Newport Beach until you’ve seen it while cruising through the harbor and out the jetty, past the Wedge and into the open ocean,” Stewart says. The region’s coastline, layered with architecturally captivating homes and vividly beautiful native flora, is best understood from an oceanic perspective, providing all-encompassing panoramas of a distinctly Southern California landscape.

n less than two decades, Scott Cross, founder of SC Homes, has built a prestigious clientele in Newport Beach and Corona del Mar. The home builder began at only age 21 constructing speculative homes on the Newport Beach Peninsula. Since then, SC Homes has amassed an impressive portfolio of custom residences in styles ranging from clean-lined contemporary to quaint beach cottage to ultramodern. “Newport Beach was the place I wanted to live in my early twenties, and I thought, if I want to live there, I am sure others do. Let’s shoot for the stars and build in the place everyone else wants to live,” Cross shares. With a business atmosphere that Cross notes as being “quirky and fun,” SC Homes is a young company teeming with zeal and innovation. “Our average age in the company is 32, so we all still have passion.

I know a lot of builders who have lost their drive to create something new and creative. My goal for every project is to create something that has not been seen on social media or in person,” he says. With a penchant for technology and continually finding ways in which to improve efficiency, Cross strives to build at a speed that “shocks” competitors while never lacking in quality. “We see ourselves building faster and with more precision. We are like a machine in our office and in the field; we use technology to drive that machine forward,” he says.

f you’ve come across striking woodwork in Southern California, chances are it’s the work of master craftsmen Dan Luna. Equal parts artist and woodworker, Luna creates masterpieces within homes, specializing in staircases, architectural moldings, theaters, libraries, doors and furniture, to name just a few. “Upholding the highest standards of quality and commitment to my clients is key,” he says.

Founded in 1992, Dan Luna Woodworking began as a two-person shop in Laguna Hills; today, the 20 employees of the firm comprise designers, master craftsmen and an installation team. “I can’t emphasize enough how proud I am of my company,” Luna enthuses. Hand drafting all initial concepts, Luna’s creative process aims to find solutions to interior challenges while creating timeless beauty. “I sit down at my drawing table and think about a meeting with the clients, designers, architects and builders. As I look through notes and inspiration images, my mind starts processing the information and pencil goes to paper, and it starts to evolve. It may be a situation that no one can figure out, or a room full of cabinetry with integrated paneling, and when that happens, I can become completely unaware of my surroundings for hours,” he shares. “It’s the best feeling.”

DAN LUNA’S SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA How would you describe the art and culture scene in your coastal community? Newport offers an abundance of art and cultural events, including summer concerts, art and sculpture exhibits, even the Balboa Chalk Art Fest.

How do you view your area changing over the next decade? Expected growth in numbers but downsizing in residential properties, possibly due to sustainability.

What are some local design events? Two great home tours that I visit each year are the Newport Harbor Home Tour and CdM Home Tour.

How would you describe the architectural styles? Today, modern and midcentury modern, Tuscan and Mediterranean—it’s an eclectic mix of architecture and design.

The company’s nearly five decades of business have contributed to the community not only in aesthetic appeal—although its products adorn countless high-end homes, restaurants and hotels in the region—but also in its time-honored traditions. “Our products are individually made by hand in the United States out of iron: the old-fashioned way.

You will not find stamped sheet-metal fixtures at Dana Creath. Our products are built to last with internal wiring, and we go to great lengths to conceal the welds and grind them down, which gives our fixtures a refined aesthetic that you won’t find elsewhere,” explains director of operations Greg Perkins. “Another hallmark of our products is our ability to install internal wiring properly in every piece, regardless of size, type or design, setting our light fixtures apart from many others on the market. Our attention to detail and dedication to quality is evident in every single piece we produce,” he adds.

A NATIVE’S PERSPECTIVE: DANA CREATH ON SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Art + culture: “There is no shortage of art and culture in our coastal community,” Creath says. “This is best evidenced by the annual Sawdust Art Festival in Laguna Beach. There you can find painters, craftspeople, glassblowers, musicians and everything in between.”

Looking ahead: “South Orange County will continue to grow as more affluence is brought into the area. Just in the last five years there has been a large influx in the restoration of older areas, such as the Dana Point Lantern District,” he says.

Local gems: The historic Hotel Laguna, with its amazing views, as well as the quaint and rustic vibe of Los Rios Street in downtown San Juan Capistrano.

Saturday, perfected: “Breakfast with my family on Avenida Del Mar in San Clemente, followed by a walk through the San Clemente farmer’s market and a walk to the end of the pier and back.

Lunch in Laguna with a view of the ocean, and cap it all off roasting marshmallows around a bonfire with friends on the beach in Dana Point,” Creath shares.

ike Close, a lifelong resident of Newport Beach and custom home builder, knows better than most how to construct a home of enduring value in Southern California. The Newport native grew up on Lido Island, where sailing was a cherished pastime, and aptly named his company Spinnaker Development—an homage to a childhood richly immersed in the local culture.

“Tremendous thought and consideration is given to the functionality of each design element,” says Close, whose firm is based in the heart of Newport Beach, between the Cannery Village and Lido Marina.

“Understanding the coastal climate and its impact on our homes is critical—proximity to the ocean can play a big role in design.

Salty air is a great smell when living in a beach town, but with it comes harsh elements, and our coastal homes can take a beating. Advising our clients on the adverse effect the coastal climate may have on their home allows them to make informed decisions on material selections that may affect their design.” Aesthetically, a beach house look is gaining popularity, and rightfully so. “When you live by the beach, why not bring it in your home?”

Close says. “Something about the beach evokes a feeling like you’re on vacation, and when being home feels like a vacation, you know you’re living well.” Under the auspices of Close, Spinnaker Development takes a thoughtful approach to the community’s redevelopment, recognizing the need to maintain equilibrium with the built and natural environments.

Designer 3D Services

Conception to Dimension!

Serving the Interior Design Professional

Technology has changed the business of interior design in many ways, and interior designer Tamela Klisura has been a leader in using technology to not only help her clients view designs but also to help fellow designers create their own inspiring designs. Just over 20 years ago, the self-described “tech geek” opened her full-service interior design studio. From the beginning, she was fascinated by the creative potential of software and took every opportunity to master its use and present clients’ dreams to them before turning them into reality.

As her business grew, she operated a retail front and then opened a furniture showroom in a prominent design center. Other designers who visited her showroom were intrigued when they saw her creating digital floor plans and asked if she could help them do the same. In 2016, she and her team expanded the technology to produce three-dimensional visuals. Now, they’ve created a separate company, Designer 3D Services, solely to serve interior designers who want to expand their own creative vision and abilities.

Her guiding principle is to empower the creative process for designers by allowing them to explore all possibilities for a space through visualization technology. The goal is to provide designers with a tool that allows them to show not only floor plans but space elevations in photo realistic color and textures with furniture, fabric, lighting and finishings applied to the clients space in three dimension. Clients immediately experience their space and the full effects of the atmosphere created by the designer. And because Klisura is a designer herself, she understands the challenges that face other designers. Her ability to recognize and point out potential problems is a bonus for designers as they bring their inspirations to life.

Exchanging ideas with other designers is one of the joys of Klisura’s interactions with clients, who range from designers and architects to contractors and real estate agents. She loves the collaborative energy that flares when bouncing ideas back and forth with another creative as they discuss a project’s possibilities. While technology is the frame of her business, verbal communication is key to transforming ideas into finished spaces.

Even better is seeing an aesthetically pleasing design, rendered before construction or walls are knocked out, that either solves a problem or creates an unexpected experience in an ordinary space. That is the power of 3D rendering technology as a communication tool for designers. A three-dimensional visual representation conveys authenticity and immediately allow clients to feel the emotional impact of their future space. photo realistic 3D rendering

t’s common for clients to compile idea books stuffed with magazine spreads and paint samples for their design teams. But the London-based clients who purchased a hillside property in La Jolla for a vacation home suggested another barometer for their tastes.

“They wanted us to visit this trendy biker-surfer bar and store,” says designer Anita Dawson. The Venice shop, Deus Ex Machina, bills itself as an “emporium of Postmodern activities,” which translates into an idiosyncratic motorcycle and surf shop selling actual bikes and boards as well as sporty apparel—and paninis and coffee. “It’s hip, very California and edgy,” Dawson says of the store. So, the clients challenged Dawson and architect Mark A Silva to couple that West Coast-cool vibe with a healthy measure of London sophistication.

None of this, of course, was congruent with the 1960s ranch house that occupied the site. The clients got a deal because the soil of Mount Soledad on which it was built had terrible bearing value, explains Silva, resulting in shifting and cracking of the existing home’s foundation.

The architect remedied the foundation conundrum by

LX_CA44_HOM_CanDeus_14.indd 248

building his new modernist stone-and-wood design on 32 caissons submerged into the bedrock. The east-facing front façade looks clean and low-key but offers no hint of its size or the drama just beyond the redwood-and-corten steel front door. The door opens directly into the home’s great room. On its south side is a stacked-stone wall, and on the north side is a white wall with a floating staircase—both extend to the white-oak ceiling, and all three, Silva reports, “splay out at 9 degrees, spreading toward the ocean view.”

The pair of walls serves another purpose, too. “I also wanted them to continue and become part of the outdoor space,” Silva says. So, beyond the west-facing panel of glass sliders, the walls jut out like wings. The effect of this is to move the eye toward the watery blue horizon line, but also, says Silva, “Coming up from the pool, it looks like the walls are arms embracing you and welcoming you home.” The pool itself received a thorough transformation.

It’s better oriented, larger and has an added spa—and the former pool house (basically “a shack,” recalls Silva) was demolished to make room for a modernist ipe-clad space with floor-to-ceiling glass.

To execute the design for the front door of a La Jolla house, architect Mark A Silva tapped Studio Deline for the metalwork and Stine Poole for the woodwork. Once inside, the eye goes immediately to the ocean views. Landscape architect David McCullough used cacti and grasses, among other plantings, to soften the rectilinear lines of the home.

Offsetting the concrete and stone elements in the great room, designer Anita Dawson opted for furnishings with softness and curves. In the great room, next to a CTT Furniture chess table circled by lounge chairs from the Danish Design Store, is a custom sectional from Designer Gallery, accompanied by a CTT Furniture coffee table and Nathan Anthony chairs. Underfoot is a Lee Jofa rug. The notable lighting includes a floor lamp by Foscarini, a table lamp by Gubi and a chandelier by Facaro.

Staircases stand at either end of a wall that continues through to the exterior, flaring out at a 9-degree angle. Visible through Fleetwood windows, on the adjacent patio, Cane-line pieces offer seating. The dining room next to the kitchen showcases a Riva 1920 table surrounded by chairs from Design Within Reach.

When it came to the materials and surface palette, remembers Dawson, “The wife asked for ‘sludgy,’ which meant lots of grays and dark colors.” But the designer mixed in more saturated shades, such as a turquoise sectional in the great room, an acid green surfboard in the guesthouse and vibrantly hued art throughout. There is also a stunning copper fireplace in the great room that contrasts with the concrete floors and gray-toned kitchen.

Industrial-chic details—a Serge Mouille chandelier over a dining table and a custom pendant made of bicycle chains hanging in the great room—bring yet another touch of the Deus Ex Machina aesthetic.

Given the soaring proportions and the preponderance of stone, glass and concrete, says Dawson, “I wanted to soften up the main space. It had to be human scale and plush.” The great room sectional, for instance, is velvet, but its lightly faded turquoise shade makes it “feel like an heirloom piece,” the designer points out. There are also comfy Brazilian-style leather chairs facing the fireplace (bringing in a certain retro je ne sais quoi), which sit atop a luxurious faux-fur rug, and gently contoured Danish armchairs around a game table near the entry.

LX_CA44_HOM_CanDeus_14.indd 251

5/26/17 11:28 AM

Outside, a sense of discovery guided landscape architect David McCullough. “From inside the house, you get immediate panoramic views of the Pacific,” McCullough says. “What you don’t realize is the incredible landscape that sits right below the house. It’s not until you walk out to the rear patio that you realize there is something interesting winding its way down the hill.” On the descent, surprises appear—a small English-style garden to the left, in honor of the couple’s time abroad, and various other outdoor rooms.

All this is accented by more California-influenced plantings of grasses, purple sage, ferns, palo verde, cacti and sedges.

McCullough also stimulated the senses with fragrant plants whose scents waft up the hill with the breeze.

As much as the home is firmly anchored in the 21st century, it is surprisingly low-tech. Instead of what Silva dubs “fancy” electronic controls for the lighting and audiovisual system, the clients opted for simple wall switches for the lights, a few standalone TVs and Bluetooth-enabled speakers, which can play music from family members’ devices. In that way it captures the spirit of its Venice inspiration, both edgy and sophisticated, modern and retro, Dawson says. “It’s an interesting atmosphere, but they pull off that combination, and it feels authentic,” the designer says. The same can be said for this house overlooking the Pacific.

Sleek Leicht cabinetry forms the kitchen island. Above it—where Normann Copenhagen barstools from the Danish Design Store pull up to a wood countertop—hang Tom Dixon pendants from YLighting. The Mirabelle sink has a KWC faucet. An Arteriors mirror is on the wall behind.

f real estate is all about location, then the Bel-Air house designer Kristine Paige Kamenstein’s clients found overlooking Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean had everything going for it—with one caveat. “It was too traditional for them,” the designer recalls of the ornate detailing. “It needed to be stripped down and built back up.”

The owners, who were moving from a 1920s Colonial-style home, acted in kind. They sold all their furnishings to start anew, giving Kamenstein free range to infuse the house with their now-modern sensibilities.

First, though, the fireplaces had to go. The house had six of them—“massive fireplaces that wiped out most of the view,” says general contractor Paul McNulty, who worked with architect Tara Moore on revamping the interior architecture. Four of them—a double unit facing the family room and outside terrace, one in the master bedroom and another in the living room—stole the focus from the cityscape and the ocean. McNulty replaced all of them with French doors to clear the sight lines. “Just picking up that view is a nice ‘wow’ factor,” he says.

Kamenstein then swapped out the formal marble floor in the grand foyer, replacing it with the same French oak that runs through the rest of house. She also streamlined the existing Victorian-influenced staircase, banished a bar in the family room and carved out a foyer for the master suite. Another thing, the designer says: “We took out every single light fixture.”

For a more contemporary feel, Kamenstein covered the walls and trim in shades of white and gray and accented spaces with black and white notes, along with bursts of teal and red. “We wanted a palette that didn’t fight the interior architecture but complemented it,” the designer says. That method gave her a clean canvas for grand gestures such as the hand-painted wallcovering by Porter Teleo in the dining room featuring bright splotches of color on an inky background. It grabs the attention of anyone who steps into the adjacent foyer. “Immediately, it’s a talking piece,” the wife says, noting happily that everyone has an opinion. “It’s polarizing!” The designer avoided extraneous details in the rest of the room, where the family spends time playing games and working on puzzles in addition to sharing meals. “Because the wallpaper is so artistic and creative, we wanted clean lines in the furniture and the light fixtures,” she says.

Similar forces are at work in the sloped-ceiling master suite, where Kamenstein used another Porter Teleo pattern on an accent wall behind the custom four-poster bed. “I chose to emphasize the shorter wall in the room because the ceilings are so high. This brought down the scale and helped make the room feel more intimate,” she says of the Rorschach-like design. The ceiling then rises to a peak over the Deco-inspired seating area, done in quiet tones of

black, white and gray and furnished with sinuous antique Czech armchairs and a Jean-Michel Frank-style sofa.

Kamenstein used varying degrees of teal to connect the spaces on the open-plan first floor. A deep-peacock suede on the chairs in the office is visible from the foyer, and a similar shade appears in the mohair covering the living room sofa spied at the end of a barrel-vaulted corridor.

Lighter robin’s-egg wool covers the sectional in the family room, and beyond the French doors, yet another shade covers the accent pillows scattered on outdoor furnishings in the lush gardens, which were the work of Cheryl Kellough of Sage Garden Design, and, later, Alfonso Paez of Paez Landscape. “It’s a progression of hues,” Kamenstein says, so while each space speaks its own language, there’s a smooth transition from one to another. Not to be forgotten, however, is the red element of the design’s palette, which proudly asserts itself in the sea urchin-form pendant light over the kitchen’s breakfast area and in the starburst pattern on the main stair runner.

Once the interiors were complete, Kamenstein called on art consultant Paul Rusconi to add another layer to the rooms. He added to the husband’s small but important collection of black-and-white photography and helped select large statement-making pieces, including Massimo Vitali’s huge photograph of Coney Island in the living room—a nod to the owners’ family outings there when they lived in New York. There’s also a custom, graffitilike painting in the foyer by Mr. Brainwash. “It’s what the house needed, I think, to not be so serious,” the wife says. As for Rusconi’s other selections, which include his own pointillist-style painting of a hummingbird depicted with nail polish on acrylic in the master bedroom, “they were like icing for me,” the wife says, noting that she and her husband had never amassed a serious art collection before. “It was like magic.”

orn in San Diego and raised in Tijuana, Mexico, Tanya Aguiñiga’s life has been defined by crossing borders, both cultural and physical.

“The issues I deal with in my work vary from the personal to larger issues of globalization,” explains the Los Angeles-based artist. “Sometimes solutions take form in physical objects, other times they’re community actions.”

Growing up in an environment where nothing was wasted, Aguiñiga felt a natural pull toward the resourcefulness and functionality of craft. With an MFA in furniture design and studies in Mexico (back-strap weaving in Chiapas and wool dying in Oaxaca), her work is rooted in tradition, yet it defies conventional classification. Her woven Eames wire chairs soften the familiar midcentury icon into something more tactile and amiable, while her ethereal pieces have led to projects with Gwyneth Paltrow and antiques dealer Joel Chen.

The unifying aspect of Aguiñiga’s diverse designs is fiber, and her favorite material is cotton. These days, she is primarily focused on monumental weavings and site-specific pieces, something she’s had the chance to explore through large-scale hotel projects. Commune Design, with whom Aguiñiga has worked on several Ace Hotel properties, has commissioned a number of her works for its latest Chicago project. “I created a minimalist drawing of the Chicago marina and worked with a Zapotec weaver, Porfirio Gutiérrez, whose family turned my drawing into a gorgeous rug,” she says, adding that she’s also working on a large, translucent curtain for the hotel.

Other recent collaborations include glass lights suspended from knotted and fringed weavings with Los Angeles designer Brendan Ravenhill—a friendship that led to Aguiñiga moving into Ravenhill’s former studio in the luxesource.com / 275

Frogtown neighborhood. The 3,000-squarefoot Quonset hut overlooks the Los Angeles River and offers room to work concurrently with her team on multiple projects: gallery pieces, experiments with Mexican self-drying clay, grant writing, planning community programs and special commissions. She also designs clothing and home accessories. “It’s a way for me to work out ideas for larger projects in a more intimate way,” she says. The pieces, which include rope jewelry and fiber baskets, help create jobs, while sales support her non-profit projects like Art Made Between Opposite Sides (AMBOS), which addresses bi-national identity through artistic collaboration.

And while family has always informed Aguiñiga’s work, she is now deeply influenced by motherhood. “It’s such a universal yet individual experience, where your instincts, memory and emotions are tested each day,” she says. With her husband, Todd, and their 3-year-old daughter, Io, she has created a home she playfully describes as “covered in color,” especially hot pink. The living room, her favorite space, is adorned with artwork from Alaska, Mexico, South America and Southeast Asia, as well as pieces made by family and friends.

It’s a fitting reflection of Aguiñiga’s respect for indigenous communities and her belief in the power of art to inspire understanding.

OLD WORLD MEETS NEW TRADITIONAL SPANISH-STYLE ARCHITECTURE BELIES THE COSMOPOLITAN INTERIORS OF A NEW HOME IN LAGUNA BEACH.

5/26/17 11:39 AM

A

couple looking to move back to Laguna Beach after 10 years in Shady Canyon had a specific and extensive shopping list for their new property. It had to have a view, a backyard, plenty of privacy and be situated north of Main Beach. As the husband tells it, “We were willing to compromise on one. It was a small miracle that we got all four.” Their two-year search finally led them to a hillside perch near Crystal Cove State Park with views south to Dana Point and gave them plenty of time to brainstorm ideas for how they wanted their residence to take shape both inside and outside. “We love the classic Santa Barbara style and wanted a home that fit into the amazing hillside,” the wife says. “However, in the interiors, we wanted a contemporary yet comfortable feel that would showcase the views and our art collection.” Their designer, Lisa McDennon, immediately knew how to execute their vision. “I think the clients and I were on the same page from the start,” McDennon says. “The design concepts all just seemed to flow quickly.”

LX_CA44_HOM_Windsor_14.indd 280

And so it was for the architectural design. “During the interview, I did a quick back-of-the-envelope pencil sketch,” says architect Homer Oatman. “They had a specific vision, and the final design isn’t that different from that initial concept. It’s one of my favorite residential styles, particularly for a home in Southern California.” Plus, working with frequent collaborator and builder Tim Grady got things off on the right foot. Grady notes construction in the area isn’t always easy with entitlement restrictions and review boards, but working with Oatman makes for smooth sailing. “Homer and his staff are very talented, provide very comprehensive planning and keep a close eye on their projects until they are fully completed,” he says.

Inside, McDennon brought a Spanish-style accent consistent with Oatman’s exterior vision while honoring the clients’ request that the home have a cosmopolitan vibe. “In each space, it was important for me to always reflect back and include something in the space that aligned with the architectural style of the home,” the designer says. In the entry, for example, a wrought-iron railing plays off a large

“It was a careful balance of a Spanish exterior with interiors that blended the husband’s interest in contemporary style and the wife’s interest in all the details,” designer Lisa McDennon says of the Laguna Beach home she recently completed with architect Homer Oatman and builder Tim Grady. Landscape designer Richard King incorporated roses and succulents into the grounds.

5/26/17 11:39 AM

The homeownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; art collection took center stage in the design process.

McDennon placed a Hans Mendler painting in the living room. Below it are two stools of McDennonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design, made by The Flemming Group, upholstered with Romo fabric, and silver-leafed by artist Eloise Lowry of A Brush With Life.

A carved front door marks the transition from the traditional exterior to the loft-like interiors.

The homeowners commissioned a Nicole Landau work for the entryway. McDennon designed the stair rail, fabricated by Saddleback Valley Ornamental Iron and the iron chandelier made by Del Mar Lighting Company with blown-glass globes by Bruce Freund. Lamps from Made Goods with shades in a Romo fabric top a Bernhardt console; the rugs are from Stark.

photographic work by Nicole Landau. “We could have easily designed a glass handrail; instead, we chose to create an iron railing with a modern Spanish interpretation,” says McDennon, adding that the complementary artwork sets the tone for the space. It joins works by Ed Moses and Curtis Ripley as well as pieces selected by L.A. art consultant Wendy Posner.

That juxtaposition of traditional and contemporary elements flows into the living room, a space the designer calls “the showstopper.” Comfortable seating options, including a two-seat sofa, a chaise and two klismos side chairs, are arranged for hosting small groups of family and friends. Minimalist shelves, set flush with the wall, flank a limestone fireplace, while a Mission-style buffet does double duty as a bar. “It’s our favorite room,” says the husband.

“We enjoy a cocktail and take in the coastline.”

In the dining area, McDennon created a space that works as well for daily meals as it does for dinner parties.

The wife, who enjoys cooking, knew she wanted something beautiful yet low-maintenance. “Great care was poured into that space,” the designer says, adding that the table has leaves, while the kitchen island doubles as a serving area. She kept the chandelier “light and airy” so as not to

Lee Industries chairs upholstered in Jane Churchill velvet pull up to a table by Swaim, topped with flowers from Laguna Florist, to form the dining area, which is crowned by a chandelier from Visual Comfort & Co. Panels in a Cowtan & Tout fabric flank the window. In the kitchen, McDennon selected surfaces from Venetian Tile & Stone Gallery, appliances from Pirch, Rohl sinks and faucets

by Dornbracht. Custom counter stools by The Flemming Group are upholstered with Kravet faux leather. The custom pendant is by Del Mar Lighting Company.

obstruct the ocean view or the visibility into the aesthetically pleasing kitchen, where custom elements include open shelves that flank the range hood and a built-in chrome hutch. But the designer also gave special attention to the sinks. “I separated the functions so dishwashing could be done by the window and near storage, while food prep could be done at the second sink adjacent to the refrigerator and cooktop,” she says.

For the master bedroom, McDennon opted for a palette of whites, silvers and mineral blues, countered by darker finishes. “I tend to lean toward a neutral palette,” the designer says. Sometimes color proves irresistible, though, as in the wife’s boldly blue office and a powder room with handpainted terra-cotta tile. In the master bathroom, she separated the wet room from the vanities with a glass partition, creating a subtle division, and softened the space with a mosaic floor and bespoke wallpaper in the water closet.

Downstairs, the family room opens to the loggia, where the couple likes to relax. Landscape designer Richard King had previously worked on the couple’s Shady Canyon home and interpreted their ideas as naturally as Oatman had sketched the façade. He wove in olive and lemon trees, succulents, herbs and roses. Perimeter plantings blend the home into its hillside setting while providing protection against fires.

Though the clients had a clear vision from the start, they’re still perpetually dazzled, delighted and surprised by the place they now call home. “Every day we appreciate it in some new way,” the husband says.

Recently McDennon had a chance to enjoy the space from a fresh perspective when she stopped by the house.

“As designers, we’re always focused on the creation,” she says, “but with that visit, I got to appreciate the residence as a beautiful whole.”

For the master bedroom, McDennon upholstered a Swaim bed with C&C Milano fabric; she also added a duvet and king shams in Romo fabrics, Euro shams in a Christian Fischbacher textile and a lumbar pillow in a Beacon Hill material, all sewn by The Quilting House. Custom MillCreek Furniture nightstands bookend the bed, over which hangs a chandelier from Fine Art Lamps. Nearby is a work

She paired a Victoria + Albert tub with a Kallista filler and designed the octagonal pendants made by Del Mar Lighting Company.

The mosaic tile is from Waterworks.

On the loggia are lounge chairs from Century Furniture and a Seasonal Living table with a custom Perennials cushion. Euro Laguna Marble carved the fireplace to McDennon’s design, and the mirror is from Ebanista. The lantern was a happy find by the homeowners on a trip to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The home’s windows and French doors are from Riviera Bronze.

INTERIOR DESIGNERS

MELISSA MISETICH MC Decor Solutions Newport Beach, California 949.478.5264 melissa@mcdecorsolutions.com mcdecorsolutions.com

Sophistication, simplicity and timelessness embody the interior designs of Melissa Misetich.

Misetich, whose interior-designer mother inspired her refined tastes and eventually her profession, is versed in a broad range of design styles and enjoys working with a diverse clientele. “I love all styles of design and truly enjoy creating the perfect space and atmosphere for each individual client,” she says. “My ultimate goal, regardless of style, is for my client to love their home—a perfect fit to their lifestyle.” Whether being featured on a home renovation TV show or updating the interiors of a 19th-century estate in Montecito, Misetich of MC Decor Solutions approaches and executes every project with vigor. “I am driven by the look of awe on my clients’ faces as they view their finished home, knowing I have turned their dreams into a reality,” she says.

Whether it be ultramodern, traditional or an eclectic blend, I find every project to be an adventure.

Design inspiration?

I am inspired by my vacation travels and experiencing different cultures. I love the clean-lined apartments of New York that exude understated elegance and functionality.

I am inspired by European design. Tremendous old architecture with contemporary avantgarde art work mixed with delicate antique pieces—eclectic, yet it always manages to blend seamlessly.

What led you to this profession?

As a daughter of an engineer and interior designer, my love for design started at an early age. My mom’s passion for design had our family building new homes from the ground up, including every last detail of décor. My formative years were spent watching and learning from the very best.

What elements characterize your work?

Simple, sophisticated and timeless while always remaining functional.

Milestones in your firm’s success?

My company is still very new, so every new project is an exciting milestone for me.

What are your design pet peeves? Why? Over cluttering with small items of décor or trinkets displayed.

If I weren’t in this industry, I’d be a …

World traveler. Enjoying and appreciating every little quaint town throughout Europe, basking on the sands of the world’s top beaches and seeking new adventures in as many destinations as possible with my three children and boyfriend.

The interior design renovation of this early 19th-century Colonial estate in Montecito brings fresh, new life and style into the home, while keeping much of the original character and charm.
