ANTENNAE UP!
I’ve always felt that summer is the season when creative pursuits are ripest to blossom. It may seem counterintuitive that at a time of year when the pace slackens, a colliding of ideas would swell. Yet, it’s precisely the mind-wandering lazy days of summer, when many of us are traveling to far-flung destinations or simply puttering around in the garden on a “Summer Friday,” that the path to inspiration clears. An aha moment can lead you anywhere— hopefully, on a journey of new surroundings and experiences: from a fresh coat of paint on your living room walls to an impromptu dinner party under the stars. Creativity is a spark, best ignited with a large dose of passion, a slice of relaxation and a bit of imagination. This summer, be open to what’s new and refreshing. Hover through these days with your antennae up… sense what is possible. Let this issue, dedicated to exploring international design, be the trigger that kicks it all off.

Global Designer Collaborations that Re-imagine the Bath Space How one feels at home, personal wellness and the enjoyment of well-living are qualities that resonate more than ever today with consumers and have become must-have requirements for architects and designers when creating residential projects. As the place where the daily ritual begins and ends, the bathroom environment needs to evolve to reflect these desires. Progressive brands are thinking “outside the bath” and saying goodbye to mundane bath layouts, typical fixtures and homogenized accessories. As companies look to set themselves apart from the pack, more are reinventing the bath space by infusing it with highend European architecture and design. Rather than stick to their normal team of designers, these companies are seeking out talent known for their work in other fields to create products unlike any seen before. These revelatory collaborations tap into the designers’ unique perspectives, resulting in visionary products that go beyond the typical bathroom fare – and capture the creative spirit of imagination, innovation and art with a refined European edge. Ronbow® is one of these companies creating a difference in bath design. The new Signature Series by Ronbow features over 200 new products and 11 new collections of globally trendsetting bathroom products by nine of the world’s most distinguished artists and designers from six European countries. Known for their contributions to iconic brands such as Nike, Adidas, Vuitton, Audi, Apple and a firm recognized for several exotic Italian automobiles, these designers – each with their own unique sensibility – entrusted their prestigious reputations to Ronbow because of their ability to deliver on their requirements and ideas with innovation, great design and outstanding quality. By working with designers who may see the bathroom space and application in a different way than typical, Ronbow has created next-generation bathroom furniture and complete suites integrating a creative edge, convenient and smart innovations such as LED touch-sensitive mirrors, USB ports and plug outlets, refined accessories and unique material combinations.
VENTO - PININFARINA A 360° design house of international repute and a world-renowned symbol of Italian style, Pininfarina is arguably the most recognized brand in Italian sports car design and has designed in a multitude of other fields. The VENTO collection by Ronbow translates the Pininfarina identity into a variety of versatile and functional bathroom pieces for the design-minded consumer. The VENTO collection, or “wind” collection in Italian, emphasizes an elegant, sleek and innovative sinktop design inspired by perfectly smooth snowdrifts carved by fast, strong winds. Unmistakably, the designer’s mastery of Italian grace, sex appeal and flair are all conveyed in the sinktop.
WATERSPACE - JOAN LAO Based in Barcelona, Spain, Joan Lao is an international design icon recognized for his work in product, interior and architectural design. Since opening his design studio in 1985, he has participated in more than 3,000 interior design projects for clients who appreciate his unique design stamp across furniture, lamps and objects – one of balance and peace. Symbolizing soothing, flowing water, the WATERSPACE collection integrates natural tones, undulating textured wood finishes and a curved design theme for a complete sense of balance and tranquility.

PEBBLE - ORA ITO Ora Ito became globally famous in the ’90s by hijacking symbolic brands such as Apple and NIKE and presenting them with virtual visionary 3D products via media. He is ranked among the top 40 most influential people in the world of design and has collaborated with clients including Heineken, Toyota, Adidas and Pathé, to produce award-winning designs. Inspired by pebbles on the seashore, the PEBBLE collection represents Ito’s idea of “Simplexity” – art to give an object with complex functions a visible simplicity. The glossy white wood finish acts as a canvas to best showcase the unique, organic, “pebble-like” shapes and curves, bringing natural elegance and harmony to the contemporary bath.
Thanks to these visionary designer pairings, Ronbow has recontextualized a new world beyond the bath.
NOCE - MATTEO THUN Designed by revered Italian architect and designer Matteo Thun, who is well-known for his design work with Swatch, and Antonio Rodriquez, the NOCE collection was born to combine urban and contemporary classic styles. The NOCE collection is reminiscent of iconic 1960s vintage style with a modern, functional twist, including LEDs and integrated electrical outlets and USB ports. The suite includes mid-century modern inspired vanities along with optional hutches and more – resulting in a space that is compact but comfortable.
WIDE - PHOENIX DESIGN Phoenix Design is regarded as the leading independent studio worldwide for product and interface design, with clients including Audi, Duravit, Hansgrohe, Samsung and ZEISS. Recognized for its revolutionary design achievements, Phoenix Design has received more than 700 design awards since its foundation in 1987 and has collaborated with Ronbow for two new collections. Named for its vertically “stacked,” asymmetrical appearance, the STACK collection is built from layers of contrasting materials, colors, shapes and orientations – creating a unique, multi-functional living space. Inspired by Bauhaus design theory and style, the WIDE collection celebrates the elegance of pure, clean design and harmonious color combinations.

DEBBY STEINER PUBLISHER
We celebrated Memorial Day weekend a day early at our BarkART event, where design professionals created dog art for underprivileged kids on behalf of the Assistance League Seattle (ALS) for Operation School Bell. Artists sketched dog themes on canvases that were then handpainted by team participants, as well as other canvases, cups and saucers, and all art was donated to ALS. BarkART has been pegged the party of the season in Seattle, and a truly wonderful time was had by all! We also joined DFG at its Seattle Design Center showroom to view Thayer Coggin’s midcentury furniture and learn the history behind it. Plus, David Lawrence partnered with Fashion First Seattle for a casino night to benefit the Crescent Moon Foundation, a charity of former Seattle Seahawks player Warren Moon. Next, we’re looking forward to Battle of the Chefs in Portland at Standard TV & Appliance, where design professionals will compete in an Iron Chef-style culinary competition for charity. Stay tuned and happy summer!

CONTRIBUTORS
BEHIND THE SCENES GET TO KNOW A FEW OF OUR CONTRIBUTORS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS THEY TALK ALL THINGS DESIGN. PRODUCED BY SARAH RAMIREZ
LAURE JOLIET
Photographer / Los Angeles
KIMBERLY OLSON Writer / San Francisco
Most memorable interview: I interviewed a couple who were high school sweethearts and had just built their Miami dream home. The design team created a space that was such a reflection of them, incorporating elements that evoked both their world travels and an indoor-outdoor feel, as well as adding a sound system for parties. The husband even designed some first-of-theirkind, remote-controlled gas lanterns, which are now on the market—a true passion project. What’s your design style? I like classic pieces with a sense of history, but I also appreciate clean lines without too much fussiness—and I’m definitely not someone to shy away from color. I have a tufted-velvet sofa in a lovely lime green. No regrets! Prized possessions: A gorgeous Tiffany-style stained glass lamp that my father made for me and an old doll that belonged to my grandmother, which my parents had restored as a birthday gift. I’d include my cat, Ariel, but she rules the roost, so she might object to being called a possession.
CYNTHIA LYNN Photographer / Chicago What type of design inspires you? I’m really fascinated with late19th-century architecture. However, my own personal taste is very modern. I just love when architects and designers marry the two. For example, when they choose to keep the façade of existing structures but completely modernize the living space, I think that’s just fantastic! Most interesting person you’ve ever met: My husband and I went truffle hunting in Alba, Italy, and met a truffle hunter and his dog, Gigi. He was absolutely fascinating—from the way he interacted with the dog to the history he upheld for the art of truffle hunting. It was as if he were a character written for a book. He also spoke very little English, so his enchanting personality transcended language barriers. It was one of my fondest memories, and I’m so grateful we were able to meet him. If I weren’t a photographer, I would… Run an animal rescue and rehabilitation center. I’m a huge animal person and have such a soft spot for dogs. I do what I can now by fostering, but I would love to do more someday.
JENNIFER SERGENT Writer / Washington, D.C. What do you find most enjoyable about design? I like that it’s so personal, like music. Designers can take the same fabrics and furniture (as musicians do with the same notes and scales) and combine them in limitless ways to express a point of view or mood. I see interior design as transformative for the psyche even more than for aesthetics. Prized possession: A chest my husband commissioned designer and furniture maker Caleb Woodard to make for me. The carved wood on the doors resembles woven ribbons. If money were no object, I would buy… A beach house in Fenwick Island, Delaware. I’ve vacationed there with my family since I was little, and it would be great to own something there.

Favorite Luxe shoot: A penthouse in San Francisco I photographed that had views of the Transamerica building, through the dining room window, and the Golden Gate Bridge, out the living room windows. It was great! What’s intriguing you now in the world of design? I like that there’s so much room these days for innovation and experimentation. The Internet has democratized a lot of the design world, so small firms making thoughtful pieces can thrive alongside huge companies. Most fascinating person you’ve ever met: I sat next to an army doctor on a flight out of Boise who was on his way to Liberia to head up Ebola treatment centers at the peak of the epidemic. He had so much life experience, compassion and courage, as well as epic patience, as I peppered him with questions for two hours. Top three things on your design wish list: I would love to own a heated outdoor bench from Galanter & Jones for chilly California evenings, artwork by Lauren Spencer King, and a custom quilt from Counterpane.

DRAWN TO SCALE
THE CREATIVE FORCE BEHIND THE BELOVED OUTDOOR FURNITURE BRAND JANUS ET CIE, JANICE FELDMAN DESIGNS HER OWN LEGACY THANKS TO A COUPLE OF MUCH-BUZZED-ABOUT NEW PARTNERSHIPS.
Share your recent decision to join Haworth and the Poltrona Frau Group. Well, it’s been a journey, but I wanted very much to ensure the future of my business: that when I’ve retired, to that great drawing board in the sky, my life’s work will be cared for and regarded with admiration and respect, and that I’ll have created a good, safe place for the people who have helped me get to where I am. Poltrona Frau is a great bastion of luxury furniture, and they’re super-respectful of the autonomy of their individual brands, so I feel honored to be the little sister of their group. They’re going to help us grow globally much quicker than I could have as a standalone company.
Is there anything you’ll miss about going at it alone? Truly, I was never really “alone.” When I was a little girl, my mother always said, “You can do anything.” I’ve lived with that in my head and heart, and she helped and encouraged me every step of the way. The best part about being independent for so long was that I got to prove my mother right. I’ve always made decisions based on my own feelings and my own definitions of what’s good or bad, so it might be challenging at first to be more collaborative and sensitive to other people’s visions, but Dario Rinero, Poltrona’s CEO, is a wonderful leader, and I’m confident we have a lot to learn from each other.

What led you to tap Piero Lissoni to design an upcoming collection for Janus et Cie? I’ve been tracking him for a long time, and I just think everything he does is beautiful. He’s also a total character. Every time I look at Piero, I’m struck by his physicality: I want to draw him. He’s got this long, linear, Giacometti thing happening, and it’s in his drawings and product design, too. I trust the collection will be something very special and that it will be refined and long-lived—something where, 20 or 50 years from now, people will still say they want to buy pieces from the collaboration. How do you keep your creative mojo alive and well? I love to sketch. It helps me think—to take things out of my head and put them down on paper. I started drawing at a very young age, and I was hooked the moment I took my first art class. The instructor made us look at the model and draw without referencing the paper in front of us at all. It was kind of amazing to let your brain communicate directly with your fingers and the pen and to not be burdened by having to check in on yourself. It stuck with me. Today, I often keep a journal or a notepad when I travel; sometimes, I jot down ideas, and other times, I’ll paint a portrait or a chair—anything really. I’m extremely visual, and I edit the world in my own way every day.

GUIDE & SEEK
ANTIQUING IS ALL ABOUT THE THRILL OF THE HUNT, UNEARTHING DÉCOR RICHES THAT TAKE INTERIORS TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH PROVENANCE.
Antique neophytes and aficionados alike know that when it comes to seeking period pieces in Europe, the legendary Paris Flea Market is a beacon of uncovered treasures that is not to be missed. In any given direction of the décor haven, though, there is a bevy of insider-caliber antiques dealers and emporiums silently beckoning from the far corners of southern England, Holland, northern France and Belgium, where private residences (such as Axel Vervoordt’s storied castle) open their doors to welcome guests, by-appointment only, on the hunt for uncommon goods. Here, a collection of antique garden gnomes and neo-Gothic cathedral ceilings are as fair game as British Colonial case goods and Louis-era anything. What was once a sport for design-loving history buffs, and, let’s face it, your grandmother, is now much further reaching. “Antiques are being used more overall, but less in abundance,” notes Toma Clark Haines, CEO and founder of The Antiques Diva & Co., Europe’s largest network of antiques buying tours. “More people are seeking something authentic that their neighbor doesn’t have, including the younger generation. They are looking for experiences as unique as they are and want their homes to tell those stories through key pieces.” Haines, an American expat whose home base is in Berlin, offers a crucial piece of advice no matter how obscure or conventional your purchasing pursuits: “Buy with your heart. You may not know the difference between Louis XV and Louis XVI, but if you buy what you love, you can always learn about it later.” Taking her cue, we invite you to explore our robust list of must-shop European dealers and locales—we dare you to leave empty-handed.

Lorfords Antiques Tetbury, England
Reason to go: For argument’s sake, Lorfords Antiques in Tetbury, England, has the best inventory in all of the U.K. and Europe. According to Haines: “It’s like you’ve taken the Paris Flea Market and picked out the top 10 percent of its decorative items and put them in one unexpected location.” What you’ll find: Owners Toby Lorford and Lesley Ferguson converted two World War II-era aircraft hangars, which currently house the wares of 45 dealers. It’s truly a one-stop shop where time seems to stand still (though quickly ticks away) while visitors scour every alcove and leave feeling like family. Their selection runs the gamut, including standouts like a signed 18th-century Swedish Rococo tragsoffa, late 18th-century French limestone wellhead and a pair of circa-1970s Ingo Maurer spring lamps.
Paul De Grande Snellegem, Belgium
Reason to go: Paul De Grande’s personal collection of over 10,000 antiques is reason enough to make a stop in Snellegem, Belgium. The pieces are effortlessly on display in his own home: a glorious property that greets you with marble sculptures and bronze busts set atop fluted pedestals. Just when you think you’ve seen everything De Grande has to offer on the ground level of his castle, you descend into the basement to uncover a labyrinth of goods. What you’ll find: The discoveries are wide in range: Meandering through the castle unveils cast-iron lion and unicorn andirons from the 19th century mingling fluently with a decorative carousel duck poised beside an unusual 18th-century country French vaisselier, while inlaid Chinese chairs inset with marble plaques in the backrest join 17th-century Flemish tapestries and Dutch carved coconut flasks. And as if the options in De Grande’s residence weren’t sufficient, there are voluminous warehouses a quick car ride away with a dizzying assortment of 16th- to 19th-century cupboards, vitrines, commodes, bureaus and even a life-size patinated zinc camel.
Jean-Philippe Demeyer Knokke-Heist, Belgium Reason to go: Jean-Philippe Demeyer takes obvious chances with his antiques picks, but trust us, it’s all good. The spaces in his moatencircled castle, well, one is more lavish than the next, fashioned with a cocktail of textures,
Clockwise from top: Paul De Grande’s warehouse space is a trove of antique goods. A quiet moment at Bie Baert’s personal home. You’ll find elegant historical pieces next door to the beautiful JVR108 guesthouse in Antwerp. The personality-filled sitting room at Jean-Philippe Demeyer’s Belgian home.
colors and peculiarities that all add up to a somehow melodious visual feast. What you’ll find: It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly what will be available at Demeyer’s home on any given weekend, as the designer and antiques enthusiast buys whatever strikes his fancy. Nothing is off-limits, as Demeyer isn’t tied to any of the fantastic specimens he owns; in fact, he welcomes change, and observes pieces coming and going as an opportunity to hunt down more precious décor gems.
Bie Baert Brecht, Belgium
Reason to go: Sometimes, if you’re lucky, you’ll encounter a person and place that make you feel immediately at ease. Bie Baert is that person, and her charming cottage on the outskirts of Antwerp is that place. Like walking

into an old friend’s home (coffee and tea at the ready), Baert’s magnetic personality and collection will welcome you into her eccentric world, where a pair of distressed wooden penguins and a gilded papier-mâché boot holding an umbrella will leave you wondering why you didn’t already own such quirky things. What you’ll find: Antique garden gnomes, an anatomical model of a worker bee and a menagerie of wooden lay figures somehow seem obvious, filling every nook and cranny of Baert’s home. Your resting place for an espresso and a chat, a 14-foot-long table, made out of one solid piece of oak, is where you survey your surroundings and unexpectedly spot two perfectly worn red-leather Cassina chairs and a cheery bird-adorned plaster chandelier by Jacques Darbaud, circa 1990.
JVR108
Antwerp, Belgium
Reason to go: Antiquing through Belgium could take a few days, and Philip Ver Hoeye and Frederick Aers’ luxury three-bedroom guesthouse in Antwerp is unquestionably an ultrachic place to rest. The best part? Most of the furnishings throughout the fully renovated historical mansion are for sale, as are all the finds next door at their dedicated antiques shop. What you’ll find: The lovely hosts of JVR108 recently acquired all the contents of Belgium’s famous Chateau Rozenhout, which means you can own an iconic piece from one of the great houses of Europe. Other offerings include keenly curated British, Italian, Swedish and Asian antiques that exemplify the couple’s exceptional tastes.
Monique Relander Schoten, Belgium
Reason to go: From the looks of Monique Relander’s home, “edit, edit, edit” is her mantra. An impeccable assortment of antique and vintage furnishings, lighting, tabletop and décor beckon you to roam through every room, taking in the crystal chandeliers, velvet scallop-edged settees, and oil works by Belgian artist Smaël Laurent. What you’ll find: Newly upholstered midcentury Italian armchairs, Swedish loungers and Louis XV-style caned dining chairs abound. A zebra-hide rug might lead your eye into another room where a marble-topped gueridon table with gilded swan adornments holds a Maison Charles pineapple lamp. A peek into her country kitchen, complete with a bifocals-wearing boar head holding guard above the fireplace, may reveal a medley of vintage fruit-shaped ice buckets.
Anouk Beerents Amsterdam, Netherlands
Reason to go: If you’re ever faced with the arduous choice of how to spend an afternoon in Amsterdam, we’re about to make it easy for you: Make a point to see Anouk Beerents’ inconceivably magical mirror shop. Ornate gilded mirror after mirror hung on movable tracks will leave you intoxicated and enamored, as if you walked through the looking glass itself into a wonderland. What you’ll find: Beerents specializes in 18th- and 19th-century French gilded
mirrors, specifically Louis XIV, Régence, Louis XV and Louis XVI, all of which she sources herself. To preserve authenticity, Beerents conservatively restores them with old-world techniques.
Espace Nord Ouest Bondues, France
Reason to go: Two hours north of Paris, Espace Nord Ouest is quickly becoming the European source for antiques dealers in the states that focus on decorative eccentricities, as well as major fashion retailers looking to outfit their stores with unique curiosities. What you’ll find: Seventeen professional dealers over nearly 13,000 square feet offer a downright cool assortment of 17th- to 20th-century pieces, such as industrial and shop furniture, garden décor, architectural salvage, classic French seating and case pieces, and vintage midcentury lighting and furnishings.

A lavish robe shot through with silk. A vessel painstakingly engraved with precious metals. A portrait rendered in watercolor, ink and gold. The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s recent exhibition “Court and Cosmos: The Great Age of the Seljuqs” showcases the artistic splendor that flourished during the reign of the Seljuqs, whose rule stretched across Western Asia from the 11th through the 13th centuries. In conjunction with the show, the museum’s store is introducing a line of modern-day heirlooms—ranging from glass objects and jewelry to ceramics and limited-edition rugs— that celebrate the dynamic legacy of the period. “It was evident that the pattern and color inherent in the original art still influences and inspires makers today,” says Susan Noonan, the museum’s general manager of buying and merchandising.
WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY LISA BINGHAM DEWART
Among those tapped to create the new interpretations of these centuries-old designs was Barbara Barran of Classic Rug Collection in New York. “The colors are gorgeous, and I love the geometry,” Barran says of the region’s art. It wouldn’t be the first time Barran, who has traveled frequently to the Middle East, has transformed work from the area into carpets. “I’ve designed rugs based on Iznik tiles and translated them into 300-knot silk,” she notes. “The Seljuq pieces are from a slightly earlier time period, but there was something about them that was very familiar.” The source materials selected as a jumpingoff point for the rugs immediately resonated with Barran, easily informing her design direction. For example, after seeing the stone-paste mina’i bowl with an abstract pattern from some 900
years ago in the museum’s collection—which served as the foundation for the Mina’i Good Wishes rug (above)—Barran “knew it should be a wool flat weave because it needed to have the earthiness of the original bowl,” adding, “The colors were lovely and the repetition of the pattern had a gorgeous rhythm.” The other source—another mina’i piece featuring a zigzag pattern and gilding—suggested a more polished take. Offered in wool with silk accents, the Mina’i Zigzag rug hews closely to the spirit of its namesake but is imbued with a modern feel. While nearly a millennium separates Barran from the original creators, she still feels a sense of connection. “There’s a liveliness to the art from this period,” Barran explains. “You look at it and find yourself picturing the people who created it. To me, they’re not strangers.”

UPWARDLY MOBILE THE WORLD’S FOREMOST VENUE FOR LUXURY FURNISHINGS AND ACCESSORIES—SALONE DEL MOBILE—CAPTURES THE INHERENT COOL OF THE ITALIAN CITY THAT IT CALLS HOME.
Among Salone del Mobile’s many new introductions were (clockwise from top) Natuzzi’s Dorian line, Flou’s Softwing bed—an update on the company’s famous Nathalie—and Poltrona Frau’s Neri&Hu-designed mirror.
It is, as it turns out, nearly impossible to order an icy glass of water in Milan—room-temperature naturale being completely de rigueur; instead, the cosmopolitan Italian city concerns itself with a different kind of cool. Here, for one week each spring, its fashionable citizens (think plenty of black, linen, leather and painstakingly rolled-up jeans and cigarette pants) join an international conglomerate of visiting design aficionados, trading in their impossibly stylish heels and wingtips for sensible footwear all in the name of design as Salone del Mobile rolls into town. The floors of Salone, the world’s largest furnishings fair, which inhabits the sprawling halls of the Milano Congressi convention center designed by Mario Bellini, are meant to be thoroughly explored, pavement pounded—each corner of its nearly 600,000 square feet filled with furniture and accessories from the world’s preeminent creative minds. And while the talent hails from all over Europe and beyond, there’s a distinctly Italian flavor to the proceedings: a flair for the dramatic and a gravitas provided by the beautifully preserved centuries-old buildings that host the design events within the city, both in the showrooms of established Italian brands and in a bevy of what we affectionately referred to as “palazzo pop-ups” during our visit. Kohler’s showing of its new line of fixtures in collaboration with the French designer Jean-Louis Deniot, for example, takes place at the tony Palazzo Durini di Monza, a 17th-century mansion designed by the Baroque architect Francesco Maria Richini—a juxtaposition of modern chrome and porcelain against ancient stone and Renaissance art. In Bottega Veneta’s dedicated home boutique, too, the venerable fashion house-turned-luxury furniture brand pairs the sleek lines of its übermodern living, dining, office and bedroom

offerings with 18th-century frescoes by artists like Carlo Innocenzo Carlone and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. The result is startling but also, somehow, entirely inevitable thanks to the attention to detail that is paramount in Italian design. And it’s everywhere. For celebrated kitchen brands like Varenna by Poliform and Boffi, each cabinet front and drawer is a work of art—every element carefully veneered, laser-cut and dovetailed together like so many puzzle pieces. At Flou, a variety of new introductions are a pitch-perfect complement to the brand’s longtime bestsellers, like the Nathalie—arguably the industry’s first upholstered bed, designed by Vico Magistretti in 1978, which still looks utterly timeless with its tireless slipcovered reinventions. Longtime power players B&B Italia and Flexform, too, stay nimble by introducing covetable new pieces— like the Do-Maru armchair by Doshi Levien and a brand-new line of seating by Daniel Libeskind, respectively—to a roster of old favorites. On once-barren concrete plots in the middle of the convention center, each brand transforms its booth into a mini home away from home—each one different and dazzling but many embracing a rich, Italian minimalism as a common theme along with another unifier, this one a bit more material (literally): While structured Italian footwear is more or less on hiatus for the week, leather pervades everything else. It’s in the thick straps of the striking, buckled light pendants and impressive Neri&Hu-designed mirror and valet stand at Poltrona Frau; it’s used in a hundred different ways on the supple cushions of Natuzzi and Molteni&C’s many beautiful sofas and chairs; it’s inset into the ultimate desk for movers and shakers at Promemoria; and it’s woven and stitched with remarkable precision across a variety of Hermès home offerings. For all its eye candy and endless inspiration, the true beauty of Salone is in the escape it provides: Here, there are a multitude of worlds rapidly constructed, but with great care, that you can imagine yourself in, with thousands of new products with which to redesign the perfect room in your mind, and not a single person to pass judgment. They’re design lovers, after all, and they’re likely doing the exact same thing, and we’re happy to toast to that—the water may be warm, but the Prosecco is ice cold.

PUJI SHERER
Puji Sherer, the creative director and self-proclaimed Chief Color Nerd at Portland’s Colorhouse, has a lot to celebrate this year. This past spring, the paint company—known for its VOC-, toxin- and fume-free interior paint—launched a successful collaboration with home décor mainstay Crate & Barrel. The introduction, which featured 35 harmonious architectural hues, was inspired by the purity and simplicity of an artist’s palette. “Crate & Barrel is a color-forward brand that is not afraid of bold and bright hues,” says Sherer, who designed the palette. “It was our vision to maintain this connection to vibrancy, but also design tones to be backdrops for living.” In August, the color maestros will launch six specialty hues, in collaboration with Brazilian colorist Fabiane Mandarino, that capture the beauty of Brazil—just in time for the Olympics in Rio. We sat down with Sherer to find out what’s on her radar for Portland this season. colorhousepaint.com Any big changes in Portland recently? One big difference that I have seen since moving here in 1999 is that Portland has become more conservative in the use of exterior color. Purple homes with yellow trim are being replaced by the ubiquitous use of gray and black. Which local makers should we keep an eye on? Revive Upholstery & Design, Revolution Design House and Clayhaus Ceramics. Not only are these companies defining Portland’s design aesthetic and serving as leaders in its “maker movement,” they’re also staffed with cool people. Places to go for the design-obsessed: You must see Frank Lloyd Wright’s The Gordon House, which is next to the Oregon Garden in Silverton; the restored Ladd Carriage House, which is now Raven & Rose restaurant (painted inside by Colorhouse); and, of course, Timberline Lodge on Mt.

With rooms designed by Studio Munge and Jensen / Fey, and a building by Olson Kundig, the 158-room hotel reflects the glamour of its name and the heart of its locale. “Engaging in a present experience and creating a memory were two of the key design intentions for me,” says Tom Kundig of Olson Kundig. “Once inside, visitors can still see through the structure and back outside to the urban setting. This is intended to leave visitors with a memorable experience.” The interiors showcase a midcentury style, rich in texture, materials and technology.

Quilts are back. Thanks to a design-forward refresh, this old-school medium feels young again with punchy patterns and bold hues. One of the makers pioneering this resurgence is Seattle-based textile designer Meg Callahan. “I think we all connect to crafts—to things made with intention and used in daily life,” says Callahan. Her made-to-order quilts, which seem more like fine-art pieces than a top-of-bed staple, are at once nostalgic and emphatically modern. “My creative process involves daydreaming and lots of sketching. I find that working in a traditional craft allows me a certain physical discipline: There are rules and methods to follow.” In addition to her stand-alone designs, Callahan has collaborated with a host of like-minded brands, including Terrain and New York’s Matter, and has plans to join forces with local designers and artists in Seattle. “For me, it is the balance of work and play. Seattle has so many resources within the city that enable me to create work, and it is close to so many amazing natural wonders,” she explains. Luxe tasked Callahan to plan a day in Seattle for the crafty set. Check out her picks here. megcallahan.com 10 a.m. Meet at my studio in Ballard.

THE JANE: ANTWERP, BELGIUM
The season’s latest offerings take us beyond stateside living and transport us to a global realm, calling to mind four international hot spots. First up is The Jane: a swanky eatery located in the chapel of a former military hospital in Antwerp. Following the Belgian tradition of simplified and functional design, the restaurant’s interiors—conceived by renowned designer Piet Boon—show that contemporary details can shine brilliantly in authentic and understated environments. Following these cues, we are doting on the following selections, including Gentner’s sleek sofa and Erickson Aesthetic’s side table, which invite us to cultivate a globally inspired utopia of our own.

Using a clever blend of materials and a brilliant palette of pale pinks and blues, fashion journalist-turned-hotelier Vanessa Scoffier takes a casual yet chic approach to traditional French design with Hotel Henriette. Located on a quintessentially European cobblestone street in the 13th Arrondissement, the hotel boasts ample boutique qualities and unexpected details. Here, we take our lead from the hotel’s private and public spaces— outfitted with plush, organic textiles and antique metalwork throughout—for a collection of items, like luxe linens from Cultiver in dreamy, subdued hues and a delicate brass bowl by Blackman Cruz, that capture the essence of cool thanks to a little je ne sais quoi.

ISLAND TIME
PLAYA GRANDE BEACH CLUB: MARIA TRINIDAD SANCHEZ, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC 10

Inspired by local island life and traditional Dominican Colonial architecture, interior designer Celerie Kemble collaborated with historic preservationist Elric Endersby to create the idyllic retreat of Playa Grande Beach Club. A blend of vintage and contemporary elements, this tropical oasis showcases a palette of vibrant hues paired with neutral tones of raw, natural materials. In a style akin to the hotel’s breezy and native design, Sebastian Herkner’s poolside rocking chair for Dedon—made of a solid-teak frame—uses organic elements in a similar way, with laid-back sophistication in mind. So kick back, relax and style your own seasonal seaside hideaway.

PARADISE FOUND SALA AYUTTHAYA: AYUTTHAYA, THAILAND
10
Renowned for its opulent temples and lavish sacred spaces, Thailand takes great pride in its legendary history of architecture and design. Located directly across from the Wat Phutthai Sawan temple, built in 1353 A.D. by the first monarch of the area, Sala Ayutthaya was conceived with both its namesake’s long architectural past in mind and a focus on reinvented minimalist Thai design. Visionaries Siriyot Chaiamnuay and Arisara Chaktranon of architectural firm Onion embraced a purist palette and pale pops of serene colors—not unlike Cle Tile’s Vintage Rose accents and Louise Gray’s Quilt No. 3. shown here—and commissioned local talent to help construct the tranquil refuge in the heart of this storied city.

At first sight: Christophe Delcourt’s piece is inspired by nature but executed in a distinctly modern way. France is all about beauty and tradition: The country has a vast design history that creatives, especially in the culinary and furniture worlds, must honor and interpret. But above all… You can always count on a French designer to revel in beauty. A statement piece… Stands out on its own, has a story and evokes conversation. To me, this entire piece reads as a sculpture: The table represents a great balance of form and function. It’s hard to achieve that balance, but you don’t get there without taking a risk. Lasting impression: Angular, dynamic, artistic, structural, modern.
PALME D’OR
THE PIECE: Zer Coffee Table THE DESIGNER: Christophe Delcourt MADE IN: France FIND IT: avenue-road.com THE INSPIRATION: Using graphic zebrano wood veneer as his medium of choice, designer Christophe Delcourt employs sculptural form to successfully reimagine the art of marquetry—breathing new life into a classic technique.

NATURAL SELECTION THE PIECE: Hauri Candleholders and Lava Trays and Candleholder THE DESIGNERS: Caterina Moretti and Ana Saldaña MADE IN: Mexico FIND IT: peca.com.mx THE INSPIRATION: The designers focused their creative lens on raw materials found in nature—think volcanic rock and black-and-white marble—when creating these objets d’art, proving that texture and form are true works of art unto themselves.
SARAH & SHERMAN SAMUEL
DESIGNER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR SARAHSHERMANSAMUEL.COM
At first sight: I’m struck by Peca’s clever and restrained use of natural materials. It’s such an artful mélange of brass, stone and marble. The juxtapositions within the composition… Are alluring and calming all at once; the soft textiles of the background beautifully foil the natural, hard materials used for the tray and candleholders. I’d love to see… The candleholders reimagined as a giant abacus. When scouting product for my clients… These are the types of pieces I like to introduce. It’s so important to be aware of the artisanal hand behind the designs you bring into someone’s home. Boundaries in design… Exist to be pushed: No risk, no reward. Lasting impression: Balanced, sculptural, geometric, artful, bold.
STRING THEORY THE PIECE: Husk Medium-High Chair THE DESIGNER: Marc Thorpe MADE IN: Italy FIND IT: moroso.it THE INSPIRATION: The contoured lines of these handwoven polyethylene yarns result in a playful seating dialogue sure to keep potential perchers charmed and intrigued.

At first sight: Naturally, I love the riot of bold, carnival colors Marc Thorpe used with this piece, which feels perfectly timed for this year’s Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. And as a champion of color… I’m always encouraging my clients and readers to embrace hue in all forms, from soft shades to zingy brights. I’m drawn to Italian design… Because artists combine native craftsmanship with industrial processing techniques, manifesting in products that reflect inspirations across the world stage. A statement piece… Is that hero object that captures the eye and provides a resting point. Lasting impression: Proud, witty, fierce, bold, sexy.

IN THE MIX THE PIECE: Full Moon Collection THE DESIGNER: Chaehoon Moon MADE IN: Korea FIND IT: damooncollection.com THE INSPIRATION: Product designer Chaehoon Moon is fearless when it comes to her material choices, assembling stunning handcrafted yuhgee tableware (borne from a combination of copper and tin) with a traditional ott-chil (textured Korean lacquer) finish. But it’s the pieces’ subtle collision of these tangibles that proves to be so unforgettable.
MAT SANDERS
INTERIOR DESIGNER CONSORT-DESIGN.COM
At first sight: Chaehoon Moon’s collection has a galactic elegance. To me, the pieces represent what’s next in design: total understated futurism. Korean design… As seen here, practices beautiful restraint and simplicity, which is much harder than it looks. Handmade is the truest luxury: Handcrafted using new materials and traditional inspiration, these pieces have a magnetic energy you can’t deny. The cast palm shadows and velvet background… Remind me of dreamy, high-end entertaining on the West Coast. I could imagine myself… Dishing out fresh crudités in these fab, modern vessels. Lasting impression: Refined, clean, lustrous, minimal, gentle.

At first sight: We love that Gabriel Scott’s bench mixes modern with traditional design, and we also go crazy for anything with a good rivet. Provenance and history are key for us: We are storytellers, and the pieces that we present to our clients should have an amazing tale to tell. The Madcaps love a great velvet: It’s like Auntie Mame went to Venice before heading to Morocco for heaps of cocktails. A statement piece… Can serve as a conversation starter when you meet someone at a party and have no idea what to talk about. We’d like to see this bench… In a hallway under a blowsy floral wallpaper. Lasting impression: Riveted, gilt, versatile, chic, edgy.

At first sight: Rachel Horn’s tables are a fresh update on a classic design; she pulls classic shapes, design and motifs and seamlessly updates them with a modern point of view. Mexico is home to some of the most incredible artisans: Metalwork is the country’s specialty, and the connection between the age-old technique and Rachel’s designs is very apparent. Nothing worth having comes easily: The best moments in design happen beyond our comfort zones. The simple silhouette of these tables takes on a whole new level of interest through the designer’s use of rough-hewn texture on the legs. The blush velvet hues and moody shadows of the composition read as lush and vibrant… And I am instantly transported to a beautiful courtyard in San Miguel de Allende. Lasting impression: Classic, refined, fresh, polished, textural.

It’s not as bold as one might think to compare fashion to decorative hardware. It enhances, adorns and beautifies while fulfilling utilitarian needs—and it is every bit subject to fads and design movements. Baldwin Hardware of Lake Forest, California, is a pioneer in the realm of hardware, crafting art-worthy, design-forward pieces that successfully defy trends. “We prefer to think of Baldwin as a fashion statement for the home: part of your design aesthetic,” says Baldwin Hardware Senior Brand Manager PJ Rosch. “Baldwin is couture for the door.” Celebrating its 70th year as an industry leader, Baldwin Hardware distinguishes itself from its contemporaries with an unwavering dedication to quality materials and design, not to mention seemingly infinite styles and finishes from which to choose. “We love creating inspirational design through the depth and breadth of our products and finishes,” Rosch says. Designers for the decorative hardware firm are embracing midcentury modern aesthetics and are also seeing a greater demand for black metals. “We are loving midcentury modern right now. It’s a great nod to the past, but with an updated style,” she says. “Also, black metals are all the rage now, but brass and warm, gold tones continue to gain popularity.”

DACOR
Q+A WITH KITCHEN MARKETEERS CHUCK HUEBNER AND MICHAEL WEST OF DACOR
Founded in 1965, Dacor is a leading manufacturer of ultra-premium kitchen appliances. Designed and built in California, Dacor’s cooking appliances integrate function, technology and style to create intuitive products that reflect the lifestyle and needs of the passionate home chef. Dacor is also the first and only kitchen appliance brand to be tested and recommended by the master chefs of Le Cordon Bleu. Dacor manufactures a full suite of award-winning appliances, including ranges, cooktops, wall ovens, refrigeration, ventilation and wine preservation. Family-owned for more than 50 years, the company is responsible for many of the innovations that have improved the way people cook in the modern kitchen. Dacor created the 30-inch wall oven category, was the first to integrate an Android™powered tablet in ranges and ovens for the connected kitchen, and made the first continuous platform grates on cooktops, among other advances.
What are the top style and material trends for 2016? In kitchen appliances, stainless steel remains the most popular finish. Designers are gravitating toward color to offer their clients something different and fresh. Some are using color to solve problems, such as matching new appliances to established kitchen color schemes they want to keep. What should every well-designed kitchen have? Appliances placed to keep eye contact with your family or guests make for a better interactive experience. Placing a cooktop in the kitchen island with a motorized downdraft is a great way to not have your back to them, as is common with the conventional placement of ranges/cooktops against a wall. What new innovations should consumers keep an eye out for? Connected kitchen appliances that add freedom to your lifestyle, such as the capability to preheat your oven remotely using your phone, and text you when your food is ready.

“
Ergonomics play a large role in the design of a high-end kitchen, and it is highly suggested that most cabinetry pull out or come toward you instead of looking out of reach.
Equal parts form and function, Eggersmann’s cabinetry delivers beautiful and useful organizational solutions to the modern home dweller. The company, drawing from more than 100 years of innovation, trial and achievement, is a driving force behind the concealed kitchen—a design movement that gives way to gallery-like spaces in the kitchen, and the cabinetry is art. Using earthborn, organic materials such as raw wood and concrete, Eggersmann’s ultra sleek and clean-lined cabinetry reimagines modernity in a warm and inviting fashion. “We start with the most intrinsically raw materials available, including woods, metals and glass,” shares Eggersmann USA CEO Michael Soltoff. “With these materials used in various textures, colors and sheens, we constantly push the limits of the basic core components.” The Eggersmann design foundation is built on key Bauhaus architectural characteristics—flat, smooth surfaces, cubic shapes, neutral colors and open floor plans (fundamentally pure and resounding in utility)—and is distinguished by technological feats in cabinetry composition and ergonomics, such as its electric mechanisms, custom storage, handle integration and exotic veneers. “The wide availability of parts, components, hardware and materials across the world has caused a demand and push for incredible leaps and bounds in innovation of product,” Soltoff says. “As electronic technology becomes more compact and lightweight, we see an increase in automation in our products, and it has become more of an integrated component of lifestyle, rather than just a cabinet or case good.”

1. Gray matte lacquer and veneer fineline grigio with silver moon quartzite worktop. 2. White and dark gray matte laminate and 11mm Silvertouch worktop with a custom finish WALL track system. 3. White matte laminate with oak rough-sawn and Corian worktop.
EGGERSMANN ESSENTIALS Tangible Intelligence: “Every kitchen requires functional storage space that not only is accessible, but is clever in function,” Soltoff says. “Examples include specialized pantry systems, specialty fitting dishwashers, inserts and utensil dividers.” Ubiquitous Materials, Reborn: Looking ahead, Eggersmann’s work will reveal innovative uses of organic materials, such as concretes and raw wood, as well as industrial finishes, such as stainless steel, copper, bronze and aluminum. Continuity Control: “It is important to have a specific style carried throughout the space,” Soltoff asserts. “Many kitchens are a part of and centered around the living space of the home. This doesn’t mean that the kitchen must match the style of furniture, interior trim and construction. Often, our kitchens are shown as a juxtaposition or unexpected center of the home.”

HUBBARDTON FORGE In the quest to discover fresh aesthetics and innovative designs in interior lighting, we turn to Hubbardton Forge for insight. One of the most respected brands in the lighting industry, Vermont-based Hubbardton Forge was founded upon the principles of authenticity and genuineness, giving way to handcrafted, art-worthy lighting. David Kitts, Hubbardton Forge’s Director of Design, reveals what’s in store for high-end light fixture design. “Industrial and steampunk styles are definitely on trend,” he says. “They intersect in interesting ways in their embrace of strong, imaginative design and application. Our Otto collection is a great example of that.” Kitts also notes the movement toward large statement pieces that are designed in a way where “the metal ‘glows’ through the use of LED light guide platforms and shaped elements.”

LED driven: Hubbardton Forge has found ways to incorporate LED technology into the design, not just build LED fixtures. Advice for the homeowner: Think about the whole project; how one piece will interact with another. Don’t leave the lighting design for last.

1. The Louvre chose LED lighting for the Mona Lisa. The Glide LED bath bar offers a contemporary feel and is perfect for a large vanity space. 2. The brass and glass of the Otto sphere pendant combine to make a strong statement and focal point for the room. 3. The minimalistic Cuff pendant design, with its heavy steel cuff and thick blown glass captured within the cuff, works with a variety of styles.

PARIS CERAMICS
Q+A WITH RICHARD ABBOTT OF PARIS CERAMICS
Paris Ceramics blends time-honored materials and craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology to create rare products for floors, walls, ceilings, fireplaces and other objects of art. “We have a lot of new CAD machinery that enhances what you can do in terms of profiles patterns, etc.,” explains the firm’s manager Richard Abbott. “However, you still need to do finishing by hand to give the end result a bespoke quality.” Paris Ceramics has a special relationship with time, design and craftsmanship: No other company has invested in the technology and craftsmen to reclaim and preserve antique objects and flooring back to life. The juxtaposition of the world’s oldest objects preserved by the newest laser-cutting technology is the hallmark of Paris Ceramics. Only Paris Ceramics employs in-house artisans in the United States to ensure a near-flawless finish, size and product. As for new trends in the realm of flooring, Abbott cites traditional and new patterns, an increase in the use of various shades of blue and the rise of porcelain. “We try not to copy, but to be innovative,” Abbott says.
What is inspiring you now? New and traditional patterns and textures in stone and wood. How do you choose materials for each collection? We base selection on what we like, and it has to be timeless. Is it important to have a cohesive style throughout a kitchen or bathroom? Yes, but don’t forget the whimsical and fun. Describe the philosophy behind your firm. Paris Ceramics is the premier resource for timeless flooring material with soul.

ZEPHYR VENTILATION
“
The range hood has become the centerpiece of the kitchen and often sets the tone for the kitchen design.
”
The kitchen has evolved from a utilitarian workspace to a familial gathering and entertaining central core of a home. The focal point of many of today’s most elegant and cutting-edge kitchens is the range hood, which was also born from a purely functional perspective. Zephyr Ventilation, based in Alameda, California, is changing this paradigm by blending high-caliber utility with high-quality aesthetics. “We have elevated the hood to its rightful place, with a focus on design, innovation and technology,” shares the company’s president Luke Siow. “Since the launch of our first hoods in 1997, we have remained true to our vision of delivering the unexpected: by deliberately seeking to change the marketplace.” The sophisticated hoods reveal remarkable technological feats within the kitchen, such as its DCBL Suppression System®, the industry’s first range hood motor powered by direct current (DC) energy (an evolutionary step from the traditional AC-powered range hood) and the newly unveiled Lucé with ICON Touch® controls, which integrate into the hood’s stainless steel canopy and control the hood’s LED lights in cloud white, deep blue and amber colors.

1. Lucé Island features industry-first, fully integrated touch controls, three-color accent lighting and a modern aesthetic. 2. Wave is a vertical-style hood with Dual Capture Zones to improve capture performance and ensure a well-ventilated kitchen. 3. Lux Island features an integrated design that discreetly mounts into the ceiling above the island cooktop. 1
Q+A WITH LUKE SIOW, PRESIDENT OF ZEPHYR VENTILATION What are the top style and material trends for 2016? We are seeing a trend toward mixed materials in kitchen ventilation that incorporate ceramic, mixed metallics and glass. Colored and LED lighting are also trends we are noticing in ventilation as well as other kitchen appliances. What new innovations should consumers keep an eye out for? The Wave hood features Dual Capture Zones that collect contaminates through two points to ensure a smokeand debris-free kitchen. Lux Island features an integrated design that discreetly mounts into the ceiling and Perimeter Aspiration, a technique that moves airflow away from the central area of the hood and evenly distributes it through narrow openings around the perimeter of the hood. Is it important to have a cohesive style throughout a kitchen? A kitchen can have a cohesive style while still communicating the homeowner’s personality and individuality. We’re seeing a lot more color, pattern and customized appliances in the kitchen that truly reflect the style of the homeowner.

FROM SOPHISTICATED STAYS TO ZEN-LIKE RETREATS, HOTELS AND RESORTS HAVE MASTERED THE ART OF MOOD-SETTING STYLE AND RISK-TAKING DESIGN IN THE KITCHEN AND BATH. WRITTEN BY MARISA SPYKER
184 / LUXESOURCE.COM
When it comes right down to it, designers often have one overarching mission: to make the home feel like a perpetual retreat. The two most-frequented rooms in the home are no exception. Baths often transform into visions of spa-like bliss and kitchens become clean, open-plan breaths of fresh air. So, when seeking aesthetic inspiration, it’s only natural to turn to the very experts of escapist style: the hospitality industry. From modernist urban highrises to secluded South American estancias, the world’s most beautiful hotels and resorts have mastered the art of maximizing views, inspiring relaxation and pushing the boundaries of great design (a room bathed almost entirely in sleek, glossy wood, for example). Here, we celebrate five-star style in all its glory, alongside products that make vacation-like living a breeze to adopt at home.

MANDARIN ORIENTAL BARCELONA, SPAIN
DESIGN FEATURES OF NOTE: Design maven Patricia Urquiola employed her own wall-mounted chrome fixtures from her collection for Axor in the Mandarin Oriental Barcelona’s Penthouse Suite bath. Glossy ceramic stools from Rosenthal mirror the smooth surfaces of the vanity top and tub. WHY WE LOVE IT: Leave it to Urquiola to strike just the right balance of serene and sophisticated. The metallic vanity and wall of beveled-edge mirrors infuse an element of glam in the space, while the light wooden floors and tub keep it feeling soft and warm. mandarinoriental.com
AMAN
DESIGN FEATURES OF NOTE: The brainchild of Singapore-based architect Kerry Hill, this spacious suite bathroom is composed almost entirely of traditional Japanese Kakou Gan granite, allowing the pièce de résistance—a deep Japanese furo soaking tub—to take center stage. WHY WE LOVE IT: High above the urban bustle, the bathroom’s monochromatic gray stone décor evokes an air of simplicity that’s symbolic of Japanese culture. The space also allows the spectacular views of Tokyo and, on clear days, Mt. Fuji, to shine through floor-to-ceiling windows. aman.com
ESTANCIA VIK
JOSE IGNACIO, URUGUAY DESIGN FEATURES OF NOTE: When renowned Norwegian art collectors and hoteliers Alex and Carrie Vik sought to create a 12-suite luxury boutique hotel in the middle of Uruguayan farmland, their mission was to make as little of an environmental impact as possible (think solar panels, wind and geothermal energy, a water-recycling system). The bath in the artist-designed master suite is no exception: The entire room, including the walls, door, sink and tub, is enveloped in richly veined wood locally sourced from jacaranda trees. WHY WE LOVE IT: The dark wood-clad bath pays homage to the retreat’s sprawling 4,000 acres of countryside, but sleek details like the sculptural lines of the tub, minimalist steel fixtures and recessed lighting give the space a decidedly modern feel. vikretreats.com 186 / LUXESOURCE.COM

JEFFREY WILKES Resort whisperer Jeffrey Wilkes is the creative mind behind some of the most Zen-inspiring retreats in South Asia and beyond. At the Ritz-Carlton Mandapa in Ubud, Bali, he channels the lush outdoors with rustic materials and a natural palette. designwilkes.com 188 / LUXESOURCE.COM
What was your design inspiration for this space? When we created the bathrooms for the rooms and suites at Mandapa, it was our desire to have them act as extensions of the rooms. It’s a resort, and the experience of the bath, and the relaxation one feels from the experience, is paramount. It was important to create a space where someone would take the time to linger and enjoy a soak in the tub while looking out at the view.
Tell us about the mélange of materials. Touch is always a very important aspect of a room, along with the visual component. Here, patterned fretwork, weathered timbers and leather-finished marble stone all work in combination to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Woven ceiling panels are reminiscent of local Alang-alang (thatched) roofs. We also commissioned vanity sinks carved from teak wood with small decorative patterns around them.
How is the natural environment reflected? The earthy palette of chocolate brown, gold and bronze that we introduced to these spaces is taken in large part from the landscape and rivers that surround the property. We hung a pair of round mirrors over the vanity and flanked them with uneven water drop glass lights. It helps create the illusion that you’ve just set up camp in the forest, like you’re part of the evolving landscape.

Perhaps only second in line to what constitutes a really great hotel room (behind, of course, a drool-worthy bed) are insanely comfortable bath towels. Those of the Turkish variety are often considered the crème de la crème thanks to premium cotton fibers that are known for quick-drying qualities and an uncanny ability to become even softer after washing. Serena & Lily’s color-blocked and striped take here—a pretty favorite that brings to mind leisurely days on the beach—stays true to Turkish form with smooth cotton on one side and looped terry on the other for added wicking. serenaandlily.com

When artists parlay their talents into new creative outlets, the results are often fascinating.

From Mexico and England to Scandinavia and beyond, the colors and flavors of far-flung locales can be as intoxicating at home as they are in their respective parts of the world (think bold Yucatán tiles on a patio in Southern California or a beautifully patinaed Swedish grandfather clock holding court in a farmhouse in Texas). Here, we tapped some of our favorite interiors experts for an insider’s look at the best international destinations for design lovers.

mission: WANDERLUST Designer Laura Kirar performs her own southern migration multiple times each year: The New York-based interiors maven and product designer owns a home in Mérida, Mexico, and finds herself endlessly enthralled with the historical city’s exciting arts scene and thriving community of craftsmen. Read below, as she fashions what her pitch-perfect itinerary looks like for a fun-filled day in the Yucatán. laurakirar.com 9 a.m. I always try to start the day with yoga and a swim at home. I’m still in the process of restoring my 18th-century hacienda, so I love to spend as much time there as possible. 10 a.m. Next up is breakfast: There are always tortillas made by hand, fresh-squeezed mango juice, huevos revueltos and avocados picked from the tree in my own yard.
11 a.m. There really isn’t a “shopping district” in Mérida, but the Mercado Principal in the center of town has a little bit of everything—from food to shoes to vintage jewelry. There’s also great shopping around the Parque de Santiago in Centro, where you can find contemporary, artisan-made sandals, hats and accessories at places like Kukul. 1 p.m. The lunch at Hacienda Temozon is fantastic; I always order the guacamole con chapulines, sopa de limon, carnitas and a tequila with sangrita. If it’s Sunday, we go to brunch at Hacienda Ochil. The hacienda is picturesque and also has its own James Turrell installation. 3 p.m. Next, I make my rounds: I visit FonArt shop for the best in embroidery, pottery, and table and bed linens, Coqui Coqui for natural mosquito repellent and room scents, and the Alfaro Galeria de Arte y Antigüedades in the Centro; though, the term “antiques” should be taken lightly—it has a really eclectic collection. 5 p.m. Then, it’s another late afternoon dip in one of the many surrounding cenotes, pools that form naturally when a limestone bedrock collapses. I love the Cenote Kankirixche; it’s breathtakingly beautiful.
Counterclockwise from top: Designer Laura Kirar wandering through her favorite outdoor market, taking a dip in the Cenote Kankirixche, and starting the night with friends and La Negrita’s famous mescal.

“The quality of light in Mérida inspired me to start painting again. They sometimes call it the ‘White City,’ but its skies are very blue. And, while it doesn’t have mountains, the clouds are so white and full that they almost feel like unscalable peaks in their own right. It’s a big, big world, but I’m treating this little corner of it as my very own cabinet of curiosities.” downtown20.net

The former executive director of one of the newest additions to the Yucatán arts scene, Fundación de Artistas, Indira Londono (right) reflects on the region’s growing creative community and gives collectors the inside scoop on where to go and who to watch when building their portfolios. fundaciondeartistas.org
Top Mexican artists to watch: Mérida has many talented local artists, but I’m mostly interested in artists who redefine the idea of art and utilize it as a vector to create a dialogue about relevant social issues. Some of my favorites are Alexa Torre, Marcela Diaz, Stefania Rivadeneyra, Karla Madera and Uggo Gonzalez.
What makes Mexican art different? It’s difficult to categorize and compare artwork from Mexico versus the U.S. because there are many factors that influence artists even within regions of the same country—for example, the art in the Yucatán will be very different than in areas like Oaxaca and Mexico City. Here, art specifically draws influences from many factors such as its region’s Mayan ancestry, Spanish occupation and the Caribbean climate.
Must-visit art fairs or festivals for American collectors: My favorites are Noche Blanca—an event sponsored by the city of Mérida in conjunction with artists, galleries, museums and public spaces for a finely curated tour of what the community here has to offer—and the National Biennial of Visual Arts of Yucatán—which features a wide range of Mexican art, including paintings, sculptures, photography, video-art and installations.

FIRST PERSON
MARTYN LAWRENCE BULLARD London to me is not only my original home and teenage stomping ground, it is a main artery for my decorative inspirations and design shopping. These days, I like to start my trip by booking into one of the splendid new design hotels that have sprung up across the country. My current hot spot is the super luxurious Beaumont hotel in London’s W1; it makes you feel like you’re in The Great Gatsby, but you’re not, you’re on a shopping trip with me; so, here’s what comes next: 8:30 a.m. There’s no better place to start your day than in The Colony Grill Room at Selfridges with a full English breakfast and lashings of Earl Grey tea all silver-served with the finest attention to detail. 10 a.m. Head over to Alfies Antique Market with dealers that sell everything from vintage-leather and vellum travel trunks (ask for Leslie Warander at The Tintin Shop to show you his secret stash hidden upstairs) to 1970s and ’80s Italian furniture and lighting. 11:30 a.m. From there, go to King’s Road in Chelsea. With luck, you’ll get to catch a viewing of the latest sale at Lots Road Auctions, a veritable bargainhunters local auction held weekly. My favorite antiques store in London, Guinevere, is just around the corner and is a real treat for the eyes.
12:30 p.m. After antiquing, a spot of lunch is required. I head to the Wolseley—by Piccadilly Circus—a European restaurant designed by my friend, the late and great David Collins. It’s highly stylized with black-and-white marble floors, bronze chandeliers and chinoiserie-lacquered panels. 2 p.m. A little après stroll down Piccadilly will bring you to Fortnum & Mason, the luxury food and lifestyle store that happens to make my very favorite tea, Imperial Earl Grey. After stocking up on that, I head to Jermyn Street to visit my tailor: Ozwald Boateng makes the most fun suiting. 3 p.m. No day in London is complete without art. The S2 Gallery, run by Fru Tholstrup, belongs to Sotheby’s and houses exhibits by rising art stars like Charming Baker, along with group shows, like the recent exhibit curated by Tommy Hilfiger and Jeffrey Deitch. As a photo enthusiast, I also head over to the Hamilton Gallery in Mayfair. 5 p.m. London is known for its quality upholstery and fabric houses, but for me, visiting the tiny trim shop VV Rouleaux is a necessity. This jewelbox store offers amazing trims, tassels, beads, feathers and other theatrical decorating tools. 7 p.m. The perfect day in London ends with my favorite eatery, The Ivy. Favored by London’s theater crowd, its recently remodeled interiors are cozy and glamorous. martynlawrencebullard.com

LONDON calling While Michael S. Smith has become a bit of a symbol of Americana— having been tapped by the Obama administration to reimagine the White House’s residential spaces during the First Family’s time in Washington, D.C.—the LA-based interior designer actually built much of his influential aesthetic from his time overseas in London, where he studied at the beloved Victoria and Albert Museum and fostered a lifelong love of antiques. Find out why his London calling is as loud as ever. michaelsmithinc.com What do you love most about British design? English homes, especially the wonderful country houses, have a very identifiable voice; they’re about putting various things together in a way that’s both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Since the country has a longer history than the U.S., people have been acquiring furniture and passing it down in the family for much longer, and the result is both a lack of fussiness and a

Known for his wild color palettes and playful style, Jonathan Adler doesn’t mind buttoning it up every once in a while with a dose of classic British design. Here are his top-five spots to visit in London. jonathanadler.com 1. My shops! I have one on Sloane Avenue and one on Westbourne Grove. They’re great fun (as evidenced by Adler’s Zebra British flag rug shown at right), and I’d love them even if they weren’t mine. 2. Liberty of London is a must. The building is sublime, with the most gorgeous Gothic architecture and patina. 3. It’s not a trip without a visit to Harrods. You can get literally anything there. 4. I love Alfie’s Antique Market—a —a building full of little shops and surrounding streets with shops. It’s packed with heavenly finds. I spend almost an entire day there whenever I’m in London. 5. The Conran Shop is another favorite. I love going to the flagship location in Chelsea. They always have something new and outside the box.
practicality when it comes to design. It sees very formal and important pieces feeling at home with more approachable and humanistic things: a mastery of the mix. Favorite British designers past and present: The classic example, of course, is the design firm of Colefax and Fowler; their work has been a not-so-secret source of inspiration in a lot of really good English houses. Beyond them, I love the modernity and color of the legendary David Hicks and the historical elegance of Robert Kime. Is there a historic English house you’d particularly love to design? I’d be truly thrilled to outfit places like Haddon Hall or Chiswick House—estates that have really beautiful architecture and are just extraordinary with a kind of eccentric appeal. There’s something challenging and exciting about creating personality in a home that already has so much of its own.

Los Angeles-based interiors and product designer Jill Sorensen may have left her Swedish upbringing behind in terms of miles traveled, but she continues to embrace the country’s sophistication and simplicity in her fun and quirky home projects all over the U.S. Here, she sits down with Luxe to give us a Swedish design history lesson. jillsorensen.com Favorite Swedish designers past and present: I’m a fan of King Gustav III. He was a Swedish king in the late 1700s who was obsessed with design, and during his reign, he created the style of furniture that’s the most famous in the country today: Gustavian. I also love Josef Frank, who designed the amazing Swedish Tenn fabrics that are like pieces of art. What do you love most about Swedish design? I love all things Gustavian, which is
basically a simplified country version of Louis XVI style: the distressed furniture, whitepainted floors, etc. Because of the lack of sunlight (only four hours or so a day in the winter time), Swedes are experts at adding brightness to their interiors with pastel walls and white interiors. Best shops to visit in Stockholm: You’ll find the most incredible fabrics imaginable at the beautiful Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm; it was originally founded in 1924, and it never fails to impress. I’m also always surprised at the things I find at Bukowskis auction house. It has incredible antiques up for grabs and is surprisingly affordable. Otherwise, blocket.se is also one of my favorite little secrets: It’s a resale site that is very popular in Sweden. You can find amazing things for next to nothing in your local area!

Swedish native-turned-New York and Palm Beach mainstay, Lars Bolander shares what keeps him going back to his homeland year after year: “What I love most about Sweden and Swedish design is its simplicity. The country’s sense of beauty is so uncomplicated: It’s all very pale with lots of neutral colors, grays and whites, and dove blue. I have a vacation home in a small village there with great history: As little as 50 years ago, the town telephonist lived downstairs. There was still just one phone in the whole village, and she would have to ring bells attached to people’s homes with string to alert them to a call!” larsbolander.com

We were invited to speak at the Monocle Quality of Life conference and took the chance to go to a place we’d been dreaming and planning on going to anyway. And we weren’t disappointed thanks to the classic buildings, wonderful design heritage, and great things going on culturally and entrepreneurially. Augarten Porcelain Factory Wow! This factory (above) is such a far cry from ours in California. We love that the owners of the company appreciated their staff so much that they created this beautiful place for them to work. We think the same way: that great work comes from great work environments. We just have a different style!

Part of researching tile for the promotion of our latest book, Tile Makes the Room: Good Design from Heath Ceramics, this trip grew out of our fascination with places like Portugal, with cities and regions with layers of history that’s been preserved and respected. National Tile Museum There’s such a rich heritage of handcrafted tile in this country that they opened a museum dedicated to it (above) and set it in a former convent that dates back to 1509. The reverence for tile, a material that we so often overlook, filled us with awe. Palácio Ramalhete This hotel (shown at right) was an oasis of calm. There was gorgeous tile wainscoting everywhere, which was our favorite touch. We love hotels like this: intimate places (this one only has 12 rooms) with deep history.

Tage Andersen’s home (above), far from any major town, is an amazing work of art—and a working farm. The villa and gardens were created by Andersen, himself, a maverick florist and artist. It was designed almost as an art installation, but, again, with a farm, so it’s pleasing aesthetically but not at all precious. These trees were something that Andersen must have envisioned as many as 20 years ago; it’s taken that long to become what they are. heathceramics.com

picturesque red house with a Dutch door that is always open, the Allison Paige Interior Design office reflects the mind-set through which its principal designer, Allison Connolly, creates. “Our philosophy is built on the idea that good design endures,” she says. “Whether the aesthetic is modern, traditional or some combination of the two, there is a way to make intelligent choices that will be forever classic. Behind each of our decisions is one question: Will we love this in 10 years?” Connolly, who grew up on the East Coast, moved to Sun Valley 19 years ago, when her summer vacation became an extended stay. Today, she thrives on the local design scene and the homeowners who bolster it. “I primarily work on second, third and fourth homes,” Connolly says. “In general, these clients have made their careers and fortunes elsewhere. When the opportunity presents itself to exit the rat race and escape, they find Sun Valley is the perfect retreat.” Sun Valley is known for its dynamic artistic community, making it an ideal place for Connolly, who has spent time working at design, architecture and general contracting firms and values the collaborative aspect of her profession. “I have an extensive network of artisans and craftspeople that lends an expert hand in my projects,” she says. “As an artist, I bring a more holistic approach to the design process and treat it like an overall composition.”

’Anne Gilman’s philosophy is simple: “We believe art should be thoughtprovoking and resonate in a deeply personal way for our clients. We strive to present new and innovative works, and the gallery has become a place of discovery and conversation.” Much like this ethos, which Gilman applies to her namesake art gallery, Gilman Contemporary, Sun Valley offers its residents and guests alike the opportunity to experience nature and community in a novel and inspiring way. World-renowned for its outdoor recreational activities, from skiing to hiking and biking, the valley has long been considered a haven for the sports lover, but being the owner of a local gallery has given Gilman a unique perspective on the diversity of Sun Valley’s offerings. “Those who have not yet visited do not realize the quality and depth of the arts here, whether visual, performing or musical,” she says. “I always find it interesting to hear visitors comment that they had not anticipated such sophisticated work in a small resort town.” Bringing artists well known outside of Sun Valley to the community—photographers Rodney Smith and Nick Brandt, for example—is one of Gilman’s primary goals. Of the local aesthetic, she says, “We are seeing more contemporary designs. The traditional mountain home is moving toward what people are calling mountain modern. It is a great combination of styles and the artwork we represent is a perfect complement.”

“We work with a wide range of clients: new collectors who are just discovering the kind of work that interests them and clients who have been collecting for years and are savvy about the art in which they want to invest,” Gilman says. “On another note, the homeowners are a mix of empty nesters and families. I would say probably 90 percent have primary homes out of state. They come to Sun Valley a few times a year and many spend either the entire winter or summer here. When in the valley, homeowners have time to think about art and what they need either here or elsewhere.”

We are inspired by places and human behavior, and we think our designs reveal to the client an unseen potential for their life at home.” Striving to realize the possibilities of the existing landscape while exercising creativity in exceeding the homeowner’s expectations, Sherrerd delivers a product that transcends limitations, turning challenges into opportunities. Of Sun Valley’s role in her work, she points to the high-caliber clientele. “We love the freedom we have working with worldly, well-educated, well-traveled and sophisticated clients who are interested in making this place their home,” she says. “We live in a relaxed community in the midst of one of the largest expanses of intact undeveloped land in the world.

nlike most children, three very lucky ones can boast of living in the same home where their grandmother spent her teenage years— thanks to their mother, a woman passionate about preserving a part of her family history. After she and her husband purchased the home from her grandfather’s estate, the wife was determined to renovate the house with respect for the past while integrating her own contemporary design aesthetic. “She wanted to keep the home’s quintessential essence, but make it fun and functional for a young family,” says interior designer Kenna Stout, who was part of the design team that made it happen. The house in question, a 1940s homestead-style structure with a steep pitched roof and cedar siding in a coveted neighborhood, enjoys enviable views of the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. In accordance with the owners’ wishes, architect and general contractor Charles C. Mellon retained the look of the exterior as much as possible. “Out
of respect for her grandfather, we repaired the siding and custom-matched the grid patterns of the new windows and doors to look like the originals,” says Mellon, who left the copper roof that was added in the 1960s largely untouched. “It has this beautiful green patina and is unbelievable by today’s standards.” The inside of the home, however, was another matter. “It was here that the wife felt free to express herself,” says Mellon, who gutted the interior before reshaping everything within the confines of the existing envelope. Turning an exterior space into a mudroom by extending the interior walls to capture some of the original sandstone was among the changes. Elsewhere on the main floor, the location of the formal living and dining rooms remained intact, as well as the living room’s fireplace and paneling. “There’s all new wiring and plumbing, but we didn’t touch the original fir paneling,” Mellon says of the latter. The architect then transformed the tight galley kitchen by taking down a wall

between the kitchen and an existing bedroom and creating an open kitchen/family room. Furthermore, carving out a master suite and the children’s bedrooms on the upper level required major restructuring. “In the master there was the challenge of the steeply slanting ceiling, and a chimney right in the middle that had to go,” he says. His creative solution involved establishing the bathroom as the core room, while fashioning the sleeping quarters and storage spaces around it. For her part, Stout worked to incorporate family heirlooms with more contemporary furnishings and accessories. In the living room, for instance, the paneling and an inherited blue-and-yellow rug formed the basis for the palette.
“We decided to go bold on the upholstery to bring the room into the 21st century,” says Stout, who covered the sofa with blue mohair. “The owners love blue, and in a house with so many compartmentalized spaces, we used it as a thread to tie things together.” Topping a pair of midcentury-style wood-frame chairs with cushions wearing a strong modern geometric pattern further bridged the gap between old and new, and mocha-hued grass cloth on the walls lightened the woodwork. In the dining room, a vintage dining set belonging to the wife’s grandfather takes center stage, while a cast-resin light fixture shakes things up. “I pushed for the fixture as a statement piece to break up all the traditional elements,”
Schumacher grass cloth complements the existing fir paneling in the living room.

The side tables, with brushed-brass bases, are from Horchow, and the Robert Abbey sconces are from Lightopia. A Pindler stripe dresses the chaise near a window.

says Stout. The designer finished the space with iridescent copper grass cloth above a high picture rail to add more oomph to the space as well as tie it back to the texture in the living room. Along with the blue that also appears in a whispery tone on the master bedroom walls, wood tones provide another connective element. In the living and dining rooms, the existing oak floors were stained dark for a more contemporary look, while the new wide-plank whitewashed oak in the kitchen provides contrast to the walnut cabinetry. “The owners were very specific about using a deeper tone of wood like walnut,” says Stout, who liked the way it would link materially back to the living room and other common areas. A hand-painted tile backsplash further brightens things up. “When I came on the job, the owner had already purchased several kinds of tile and left it to me to figure out the best use and placement,” she adds. In the master bathroom, Stout employed indigo-andwhite-patterned tiles to create a focal point behind the bamboo vanity, where the cabinet pulls perfectly mimic the tile pattern. And the flowing branch-and-leaf accent tile tempers the crisp contemporary lines of the bright white guest bathroom. Both members of the design team concur that it was those special touches that moved the home beyond its era. “We were able to bring it up-to-date with bold colors and patterns that made it their own,” says Stout. To which Mellon adds, “The wife's mark is now part of the history of the house.” LUXESOURCE.COM / 257

HEEDING THE SIREN SONG OF NATURE, A VANCOUVER TRANSPLANTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S FURNITURE EMBODIES A COMPELLING SENSE OF PLACE. WRITTEN BY LAURA MORGAN PHOTOGRAPHY BY KAMIL BIALOUS
Working out of a multipurpose space in Vancouver, designer Riley McFerrin (below) crafts furnishings, including his Little Gem tables (opposite), Dendera light (right) and Nurselog side tables (bottom), which are informed by the region’s striking landscape.
O
ttomans fashioned after Pacific Northwest crab traps. Side tables constructed from cast-off cedar logs and sculpted into crystalline forms. If you want to understand what makes furniture maker Riley McFerrin tick, just look to the world around him. Helpfully, in McFerrin’s case, he has quite the view: Train tracks run behind the headquarters of Hinterland Design, his Vancouver-based company, and nearby loading docks bustle with containers and cargo ships. But the epic North Shore Mountains are what really set the scene. Says McFerrin, “Having this connection to the city’s old, industrial architecture while having a back door that’s a gateway to the wilderness is really nice.” Growing up in Long Beach, California, McFerrin longed for such a connection, “since there’s not
a lot of wilderness,” he notes. So, when it came time to choose a college, he made the careersparking decision to attend a university in Eugene. “Oregon is a hub for back-to-the-land movement,” he says. “I realized that I have always craved a closer connection to the Earth; it was a real culture shift for me.” McFerrin’s move to Vancouver in 2015 firmly tethered his work to the natural world. “A big part of what Hinterland is about is making things slower and simpler,” he says, “things that are handmade and one-of-a-kind.” And his pieces— be it the Treetop dining table made of salvaged and dried hardwood logs or the Fogbench that is composed of dowels individually dyed to create a gradient effect—are built to last. “A beautiful piece of furniture is going to be with its owner day in and day out,” says McFerrin. “So, LUXESOURCE.COM / 259

McFerrin incorporates a variety of materials in his work, including wood and metal (left and top). While heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deeply inspired by nature, he also responds to the work of George Nakashima and the Shakers, in which he sees a delicate touch that only uses the necessary elements.
The Scatter/Gather pendant light (left) is composed of branches found along the sea coast, and the Little Gem table (below) has a multifaceted form. Findhorn tables (bottom) reference the forest and the sea, with through tenons reminiscent of an ax and rope work suggesting the work of sailors.
I want my work to add a little bit of enjoyment, warmth or tranquility to a living space forever.” At this year’s International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York, McFerrin debuted pieces that, while still impeccably constructed, depart from his more rectilinear forms “I’m making more objects that are big and rounded,” he explains. “It’s exciting for me as a woodworker to say, ‘No hard edges. No square, sharp corners.’ ” His Pillowy bench, for instance, has an upholstered seat, putting a soft twist on McFerrin’s orthogonal aesthetic, while the circular Hoop and Stave table was built using an old barrel-making technique. Working out of Hinterland’s multipurpose space—a design studio, shop and showroom all rolled into one—affords McFerrin plenty of flexibility. “We’re able to put prototypes on display, so passersby can just pop in and see what’s new,” says McFerrin, “and right behind my desk is a little window to the workshop.” And, as Hinterland has grown, McFerrin has taken on larger commercial commissions for Nike and buzzy dot-coms (and the business responsibilities that come with them), but he’s happiest when he’s hands-on, working at the sawmill loading logs, scouring the Sunshine Coast for salvaged wood, and shaping pieces fresh off the kiln. “There are some creative decisions that I can’t let go of,” he says. “It’s about seeing the purpose of the tree.” LUXESOURCE.COM / 263

UNEXPECTED ELEMENTS AND OPEN SPACES FOSTER A PRESENT-DAY APPEAL IN A SEATTLE HOME THAT WAS RENOVATED FOR A YOUNG FAMILY SEEKING BOTH COMFORT AND AUTHENTICITY. WRITTEN BY BRITTANY KAPLAN / PHOTOGRAPHY BY BENJAMIN WOOLSEY

W
e really wanted to respect the history of the house,” says architect Anne Adams of the Seattle home she renovated for a young family. Originally built in 1921—and designed by architect Harlan Thomas, who also conceived Hotel Sorrento— the classically proportioned home had “a wonderfully symmetrical façade and stately quality,” says Adams. “The couple wanted to maintain the house’s traditional character while incorporating unexpected contemporary elements.” Although the site offers spectacular views of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains, the Colonial Revival home needed updating. “The owners sought a fun whimsical space with personality that was also family-friendly and cohesive,” says designer Graciela Rutkowski. “The house was great but it was a bit disjointed”—the result of numerous remodels over the years. To rectify this, Adams devised a two-story addition on the southwest corner of the abode that would strategically improve the function of the house. “We needed to enlarge the structure but didn’t want to distract from that symmetrical façade,” she says. “The extension had to be sensitive to the original residence and not compete with it.” Part of the plan for the addition included opening up the wall between the kitchen and family room to the living room, which gave the feel of a more contemporary floor plan. Blending new oak floors with existing ones also allowed the spaces to flow into each other. “The extension feels like part of the original home,” says builder Klaus Toth. “It was satisfying to make the house seem like one harmonious space.” Upstairs, the addition includes a completely renovated master bathroom whose walk-in shower is covered in floor-to-ceiling stone slabs and offers scenic outdoors views. “The home was like an old rusty, beat-up car,” adds Toth. “We completely restored it, and now it’s this killer cherry car.” For detailing in the sun room, as well as the new portico, Adams looked at historical references such as Colonial Revival precedents from the early-20th century. “Those revival homes draw from neoclassical and Georgian architecture of the 18th century,” says the architect, noting
“THE COUPLE WANTED TO MAINTAIN THE HOUSE’S TRADITIONAL CHARACTER WHILE INCORPORATING UNEXPECTED CONTEMPORARY ELEMENTS.” -ANNE ADAMS 266 / LUXESOURCE.COM
that she replaced the upper railing on the entry portico to be more in line with the classical style of the existing columns. Also, moldings on the addition copy traditional profiles of Colonial Revival houses. “It was a way to tie the structures together,” she says. Meanwhile, on the existing portion of the house, the team reproduced traditional double-hung windows in their openings, took out every piece of trim (due to lead paint), and replaced them with exact replicas of the original moldings. Rutkowski took her cues for the furnishings from the couple’s fondness for New York’s Crosby Street Hotel. “The hotel is eclectic, interesting and whimsical, so that was our guide,” says Rutkowski, who worked on the project with senior designer Stacy Aymond. Therefore, unexpected hues and patterns in the home abound. Multicolored chairs in the living room, for example, share space with a custom ottoman covered in an indooroutdoor rug, while the dining room’s lacquered blue walls pop against a wood tabletop and vibrant linen chair fabric. “A dining room can have unexpected elements because it’s not used every day,” Rutkowski says. “So, we wanted to make it fun and special for the people they’re entertaining.” Furthermore, the designer chose blue grout for the kitchen’s white tile backsplash and brass fixtures that coordinate with cabinetry hardware selected by Adams. And, a powder room displays fanciful bicycle wallpaper. “We staggered the wallpaper so the bicycle wheels were in different positions,” says Rutkowski, noting that the spaces needed to be family-friendly and comfortable yet exciting and usable for entertaining. Outside, rather than repainting the home’s exterior a stark white, Adams chose a soft gray color. “Soft gray is easier on the eyes and sits better in the landscape,” says the architect, adding that dark gray shutters, as opposed to black, link the exterior to the entry’s bluestone pavers. For the plantings, landscape architect Kenneth Philp considered the building’s color and its architecture. “Simple and elegant were key phrases,” he says. “We went with materials that had strong greens and structure, as well as seasonal texture, that brought the garden to life.” Moreover, constructing a new entry procession from the street was important. “We wanted to create a nice pathway that included some private points as you go from the entry to the garden and from the garden to the front door,” Philp says. To accomplish this task, Philp created a formal sequence from the street and a clear pedestrian connection by adding layers with plantings such as Annabelle hydrangeas, perennials, hosta and a Royal Star magnolia tree. Although the home’s end result was about creating a functional family abode, the project also fostered a collaborative team effort. “It was sheer pleasure to work with this group of individuals,” Rutkowski says. “We each had our roles and worked really well together. It turned out to be a really fantastic project.” Sounds like the true definition of camaraderie.

INSIDE OUT
A SEATTLE HOME RECEIVES A SENSITIVE REVAMP THAT BLURS THE LINES BETWEEN THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR WHILE REMAINING TRUE TO ITS MODERNIST ROOTS.
WRITTEN BY LAURA MAUK PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEREMY BITTERMAN
Residential designer Eric Walter reimagined a modern house in Seattle—originally designed by architect Ibsen Nelsen—and connected it to the lush landscape that surrounds it. A massive pivot door made of oak, metal and glass, with a steel frame by Architectural Elements, opens to the entry. The home’s contractor, Dave Boone, handled the door’s woodwork and installation.
T
here are moments when you don’t know exactly where the inside and the outside of the house start and stop,” says residential designer Eric Walter of a glass-ensconced home he renovated for a Seattle family. “You’re enclosed, but the traditional trappings of a house just kind of fall away.” Although his clients had recently completed a remodel of a craftsman-style home and were in no hurry to move, the modernist 1961 home—designed by famed Seattle architect Ibsen Nelsen—proved too tempting to pass up. “It felt very secluded because it’s set back from the street,” says the wife. “But from nearly every room, there’s a view of Lake Washington.” However, the home was still in need of some sensitive updates, so the couple turned to Walter, who is known for building designs

that display extraordinary restraint and clarity. “We opened up the divided rooms and enlarged the openings to the landscape to their fullest extent, where possible, framing the views with the walls, roof and floor rather than just a window opening,” he says. Because the house already had much to offer, the work Walter—along with the team of Campie Ellis, Suzanne Stefan and Drew Shawver—did consisted of stripping away dated details and materials and expanding upon Ibsen’s original concepts. “In a lot of ways the house was very successful before the remodel,” Walter says. The team began by removing carpeting, brown floor tile and brick fireplace cladding. They then opened up the rooms to one another and wove the interior and the exterior together. “The kitchen was originally pretty
Walter dressed the home with cedar and stone, punctuating it with aluminum-clad mahogany windows from Quantum Window & Doors. Landscape designers Matt Wittman and Jody Estes designed the concrete-framed water features placed around the garden courtyard, which is visible from the living area. Rock Solid Landscapes handled the installation of the landscaping.

closed in,” he explains. “Fifty years ago, kitchens didn’t have strong views or a connection to the landscape.” Walter changed that in this home by removing solid walls between the kitchen and the dining room, and adding a wall of windows along one side that ties it to the backyard and the lake beyond. Walter rewrapped the house in materials that blend with the natural environment, cladding the exterior with cedar. He then employed Arkansas limestone, using it to face the massive fireplace and continuing it on walls both inside and out. Additionally, he selected walnut for the kitchen cabinetry and oak and polished concrete for the flooring. The builders on the project, Dave Boone and his superintendent, Joe White, are experts at working with steel and built an intricate and sculptural screen— fabricated in conjunction with the firm Westeel—that supports the treads of the staircase. Composed of thin steel bars organized in a geometric pattern, the structure is as artful as it is functional. “Often, the best results happen when a design is allowed to remain fluid during the construction process,” Boone says. “Joe’s response to changes on the fly was heroic.”

Albert Lee Appliance supplied the Miele ovens and the Scholtès wine refrigerator. The Barazza cooktop is from Pedini.
For the interiors, the owners envisioned their new home with furnishings that—like the architecture—have a relationship to the outdoors. “I wanted it to feel organic,” explains the wife. “And I found a woman in South Africa, Ronel Jordaan, who makes wool-covered boulders for seating.” These she placed in the living room, and for the dining room, she selected a table made of live-edge Peruvian walnut crafted by an artisan in Quebec. “I also worked with Eric to do a few custom light fixtures,” adds the wife. “We sat there and put metal tubing together so nothing looked too symmetrical. I like that they look handmade and not like we bought them at a store.” The outdoor living areas were just as important to the couple as indoor ones, so landscape designers Matt Wittman and Jody Estes created three prominent spaces for the yard. “The garden courtyard at the entrance is a focal point,” says Wittman, who imagined a modernist reflecting pool and a fountain made of concrete for the area, where Estes planted Japanese sedge and a Japanese maple tree. “We wanted the landscape to have a calming woodland forest feel that’s of the Northwest,” Wittman explains, “but with a hint of Japanese style.” In the rear of the home, concrete steps are set into the LUXESOURCE.COM / 289
With the renovation came a revamped master suite, complete with a bedroom, dressing room and bathroom. Located on the newly reorganized upper level, it has a corner window with views to the Olympic Mountains and Husky Stadium. The chair and the bed are both from Room & Board.

hillside and descend toward the lake. Wittman and Estes also created a green terrace that serves as a roof garden off the master suite. “There, Jody added a carpet of sedums,” Wittman says. “It’s now a private retreat for the husband and wife.” As for the results, the owners couldn’t be happier. “The remodel took some time, but the details of the house just blew my mind and made it all worth it,” says the husband. “Every corner has three or four materials that come together in the most impressive way.” An observation like this lets the design team know they achieved their
goals. “The house is readable,” Walter explains. “You see layers of materials and the way each one came before the next. I find spaces more interesting when they’re simplified: when you strip away the typical things that tell you where you are in a building.” Walter’s use of simple textured materials in combination with a pared down selection of architectural elements means the family is always focused on the cinematic landscape that envelops them. “Our bedroom has a corner that’s completely glass,” the wife says. “You look out towards the lake and the Olympic Mountain range and feel like you’re floating.” LUXESOURCE.COM / 291
