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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

WHO: Accomplished photographer Victoria Wright not only captures Seattle’s picturesque scenery, but also offers viewers a glimpse into her everyday life on her feverishly followed Instagram feed. WHAT: Wright’s photos highlight some of Seattle’s most astounding landscapes, mixing them in with other equally breathtaking images of scenic wonders from her many domestic and international travels.
IN HER WORDS: “I am most fascinated by how light hits a subject, motion and angles, or a quiet moment that most people pass by. I’m drawn to clean lines, natural light, and the quiet of the unnoticed scenes I stumble upon in my often hectic world.”
TALKING SHOP WITH BEN KNUDSEN
DIGS
When did you open? We originally opened in Bellingham in April 2008, but moved to our location at 2002 NW Market St. in Seattle in March 2013. Why Seattle? We’ve always loved the Ballard neighborhood; it has a laid-back vibe and is full of independent businesses. It was already starting to explode when we were looking for a new location, so we figured we’d better come be a part of it! Tell us about the space. Digs is in a lovely older building with vaulted ceilings, so we kept an open floor plan to keep things airy and to give our pieces room to speak for themselves. While doing the demo, we discovered original fir flooring from a Tae Kwon Do studio that was here before us. It was a bit of a gamble and a labor of love to peel back the layers, but we’re so glad we did. What makes Digs different? We are always on the hunt for items (like Modernica’s Papa Bear chair, below) and lines you won’t see everywhere, and we love working with local designers. digsshowroom.com
THE INSIDER PETER JOHNSON
With more and more people finding love on the Internet, it’s no surprise that photographer and contemporary art connoisseur Peter Johnson wanted to jump on the bandwagon, just not in the way one might expect. Instead, the Portland-based creative visionary took to the web not to find love, but to declare it. He launched captured52.com as an ode to the large-scale photography he believes best captures the medium’s transformative properties. Each photograph available on the site—one carefully curated work by a different photographer for each week of the year (52 total)—is magnified to epic proportions and expertly framed so art lovers are treated to an instant gallery-like experience immediately upon delivery. Here, the visionary photographer shares what’s on his radar in Portland this season. captured52.com Favorite thing in inventory? Every single photograph! Just because a photograph can be printed big, doesn’t mean it should. We cull through thousands of images to narrow it down to the 52 that we represent per season on the site. Over the course of four collections, I have never grown tired of looking at any one of them. I guess that’s the point. For the art-obsessed: In Portland, we love to celebrate our rich and thriving arts scene, and we do it big every month at First Thursdays in the Pearl. For literary arts, world-famous Powell’s City of Books is a must, or if brilliant midcentury and custom furniture is your thing, head to The Good Mod on Burnside. Plan it right, and you can hit all three the same evening! One to watch: Tatiana Wills; she was one of the first photographers to believe in the idea of Captured52 and to get involved. She’s a good friend, a talented photographer and her portrait work is phenomenal.

DATE BOOK MELODY EMERICK From designing Portland’s first LEED Gold home to being entrusted to restore its oldest commercial building, Melody Emerick has been behind some of the city’s most beloved architecture for more than 15 years. “We set up the company with the goal of doing great work in the communities where we live, work and grow,” says Emerick of her eponymous firm. So, it’s not surprising, then, that we’ve asked the architect to share her favorite local spots with us below. emerick-architects.com 9 a.m. Head to Bijou Café for breakfast. I have been going there, at least once a week, for more than 20 years. It cranks out the best omelets I’ve ever tasted. 10 a.m. Wander through Old Town, in Chinatown, until you reach the Chinese Garden. I find the layered spaces, rich textures and exquisite craftsmanship endlessly inspiring. 11 a.m. Before heading to lunch, peek in a few local stores. My favorites are Oregon Leather Co., Hoodoo Antiques & Design, and Kat and Maouche. 12 p.m. There’s nothing better than a Little Bird lunch; all of Gabriel Rucker’s food makes me happy. He gets a lot of attention for his innovation, but his soups are what make me close my eyes and smile every time. 1 p.m. Portlanders love their books, and if I’m not spending time in one of the neighborhood libraries, I’m sitting on the floor in Powell’s with a stack of books trying to figure out how to narrow down my choices. 2 p.m. Book shopping is tiring; so, you’ll need a pick-me-up afterward. Go straight to Prasad around the corner for a smoothie. The Tempest is my favorite, with mango, spinach, avocado and a dash of cayenne.
4 p.m. Make a beeline for Union Way, and don’t leave without a bag of Oregon Honey + Hazelnut Caramels from the Quin store. Leave time to visit WildFang a few blocks away; it’s a Portland clothing staple. 5 p.m. Art is my top inspiration, and I regularly visit the Portland Art Museum. It’s housed in my favorite Belluschi building. I never leave without visiting the Impressionist paintings and the Native American art. 6 p.m. Hit happy hour at Higgins; grab a seat at the pub-like bar and order the charcuterie board. Ask the staff for their favorite libation to go with it. 166 / LUXESOURCE.COM
DATE BOOK SKETCH: COURTESY EMERICK ARCHITECTS.
3 p.m. Wander back to MadeHere. It’s beautifully staged and filled with objects made in Portland. I recently left with a brass key chain, a bee balm, sunglasses and a CD made by local street musicians.

REAL ESTATE
BOB BENNION + MARY SNYDER AVENUE PROPERTIES 2911 East Madison Street Seattle, Washington 206.328.7200 | 206.271.1782 bob@avenueproperties.com | msnyder@seattleluxuryhomes.com bdluxecollection.com | seattleluxuryhomes.com Bob Bennion and Mary Snyder of Avenue Properties apply a fresh approach to buying and selling high-end real estate in the Pacific Northwest. “We have created a brokerage with the ability to adapt to market changes and trends while keeping the needs of our clients and their homes at the forefront,” Bennion says. Having spent a combined 63 years in the industry, Bennion and Snyder are well versed in their market and understand the desires local homeowners have for their residences. Today, they have joined forces to form a new firm: an equally exciting and challenging endeavor for both. “I love this brokerage,” Snyder says. “The atmosphere is exhilarating and stimulating. There is never a dull moment, and it is such a collaborative environment. Creating a new firm is a stretching but rewarding experience.”
“
We are unwavering in our commitment to providing local and global marketing, property representation and offer negotiation.
”
How do you think your clients would characterize you? Bennion: Genuine, engaging, animated and personable. Snyder: Honest, transparent, knowledgeable, responsive and sincere. Have you noticed recent trends in your marketplace? What are they? Bennion: We’re seeing that buyers are more price-sensitive this year versus last year, especially in the high-end market. How important is a realtor in helping someone find the home of his or her dreams? Bennion: Major life decisions can be so stressful. Even for the most rational, even-keeled and successful people, it is an emotional experience. My job is to support them. Snyder: It’s the biggest asset of your life, aside from the family you build. Put a lot of thought into who will help you purchase or sell your home. What is one thing your clients would be shocked to know about you? Bennion: My work actually never stops, and I live for doughnuts. Snyder: I don’t dye my hair, and I have a twin brother. I’m ten minutes older. What is your favorite weekend hideaway? Snyder: Sun Valley is such a great escape, and the small town there is so charming.
Awe-inspiring views define this custom Bainbridge Island waterfront home.
What was the best advice you ever received and from whom? Bennion: My parents lived by the words “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Making a conscious effort to take the high road and treat people has, I think, gotten me where I am today. Snyder: My mother and father instilled in me the idea that I could do anything, and they taught me to treat everyone the same, with respect and kindness.

ANDREW GINGER ON CECIL BEATON AT HOME: AN INTERIOR LIFE
Preface: A biography of celebrated photographer, set designer and artist Sir Cecil Beaton that explores his dynamic personality through his interiors and private life.

Trademark style: I tend to gravitate toward the eccentric, the grand and the theatrical. Afterword: Have patience and keep shuffling the cards.

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

GOLD MINE THE PIECE: Iolite Table Lamp THE DESIGNER: Jean-Louis Deniot FIND IT: bakerfurniture.com THE INSPIRATION: The Iolite table lamp is one clever chameleon, sparking a curious source of inspiration. And that is exactly what Jean-Louis Deniot intended to do with this striking design made of brass and alabaster. Fashioning an organic, naturalistic shape, the French design luminary left the product open to interpretation: Is it a shell encasing a pearl or a peacock feather? Either way, this sculptural piece provokes conversation and brightens any space it inhabits.
JONATHAN MEIZLER
FASHION DESIGNER & FOUNDER TITLEOFWORK.COM
Heritage: Baker’s craftsmanship has been highly regarded from its inception, and to this day, the quality stands up to its name. Material: I am intrigued by the artful contrasts in Deniot’s design—the hard and soft, the smooth and the liquid, the metallic and the organic; together, they strike a beautiful balance and create harmony. Recall: A striking piece like Deniot’s anchors a room or creates a conversation. It evokes a memory, dream or inspiration. To me, it feels a little Deco. Necessary Extravagance: Luxury is all about dreaming. It’s being able to afford to have the time to grasp the unnecessary. Time is our biggest luxury. Fashion x Interiors: If you don’t need it, it’s luxury, and that applies across any category.
HAYDEN LASHER HANDBAG DESIGNER HAYDENLASHER.COM
Signature: Celerie Kemble’s designs are fresh yet traditional, and many of her pieces feel as if they could have been handed down through generations— the perfect combination of contemporary and nostalgia. Details: These boxes epitomize luxury because they don’t just serve a purpose; they are also special and artistic. The devil is in the details, and there is no better way to tie a space together than with the accessories. Recall: They remind me of a box my grandmother used to keep in her library that was full of matchbooks she collected from her travels around the world. Composition: The way the boxes are enveloped by de Le Cuona’s lush linen makes it feel like you have just unwrapped a gift. Fashion x Interiors: Kemble’s mixture of rattan and brass reads as smart, distinctive and tailored—a winning combination in all facets of design.
TREASURE TROVE THE PIECE: Rattan & Brass Boxes THE DESIGNER: Celerie Kemble FIND IT: maitland-smith.com THE INSPIRATION: It’s no question that Celerie Kemble is a fan-favorite, and her chic and livable interiors have effortlessly translated into an accessories line with Maitland-Smith. Case in point: these rattan and brass boxes, envisaged with a modern blend of natural materials and a glimmer of glamour—an adored Kemble trademark.
MARKET / SPOTLIGHT
GREAT HEIGHTS THE PIECE: Fulcrum Candlesticks THE DESIGNER: Lee Broom FIND IT: leebroom.com THE INSPIRATION: Once again, Lee Broom takes us to another level with his just-the-right-amount-of-edge Fulcrum candlesticks. Exploring the capabilities of pivots and supports, Broom employed solid Carrara marble to put his ideas into practice. Considering the products’ colossal and sculptural presence, one is easily reminded that these are indeed not your grandmother’s candlesticks.
KARLA GALLARDO, COFOUNDER & CEO SHILPA SHAH, COFOUNDER & CXO CUYANA.COM
Detail: Luxury is in the details, and Lee Broom’s candlesticks have been carefully conceptualized; his vision and modernity are very in-line with the Cuyana aesthetic. Material: Marble is so rich and transcendent yet its natural texture commands attention in a subtly powerful way. Fashion x Interiors: The two run parallel in that rich materials and beautiful craftsmanship are of equal importance. Incorporating these precious finds into your home— and closet—can make the everyday feel elevated. Timelessness: It’s important to bring the customer back to the essence of a product through its materials and design. To invest in luxury is to invest in something that will bring you comfort and gratification for years to come.
CUTTING EDGE THE PIECE: Alchemy Table THE DESIGNERS: Lauren Larson and Christian Swafford FIND IT: material-lust.com THE INSPIRATION: The self-described “dark horses of design” enamor us with the latest addition to their Geometry is God collection: the Alchemy table. In maintaining a keen focus on their Solitarian design philosophy and distinct aesthetic, this piece—driven by the alchemical symbolism for air, earth, fire and water—personifies the duo’s fascination and commitment to ancient symbols and a proclivity to reinterpret these markings in contemporary and striking ways.
LELA ROSE
FASHION DESIGNER LELAROSE.COM
Continuity: Lauren and Christian have such a strong aesthetic that is present in really every piece they design—I always respect a dedication to an artistic ideal. Material: Brass, both polished and brushed (as in this case), always screams luxury to me. Recall: The calculated proportions and mixed-metal finishes are reminiscent of the Cubism period. Composition: I love the rough yet lavish vibe of the background textile, which especially complements the brilliant polish and high design of the Alchemy table. Evolution: I don’t think that luxury and formality are mutually exclusive. I want to feel luxurious in what I wear, the quality of it, how it fits the body; similarly, I want to cultivate pieces for my home that evoke that same feeling. Big or small, whether you wear it or just admire it, luxury goods bring you joy.

THE MARK OF THE MAKER
CRAFTSMANSHIP
IN THE 21 CENTURY ST
Technology has influenced and affected every industry in design—its ubiquity has forced even the most ardent of purists to adapt in one way or another. But simply adapting is not enough: The survival of today’s leading manufacturers of luxury, bespoke goods has been contingent upon their ability to find an equilibrium between handmade and high-tech. “The Mark of the Maker” takes a look inside some of the most respected companies in their fields, recognized for their painstakingly intricate building processes and commitment to pre-modern artisanal forms of production.
SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION
THE MARK OF THE MAKER
SUN VALLEY BRONZE When Bob and Debbie Commons started Sun Valley Bronze over 20 years ago near the resort town of Sun Valley, Idaho, the goal was to create something better, more durable and with greater integrity than what was already on the market. Bob was in the high-end residential building industry, and Debbie was drafting architectural plans; they observed a void in the market when it came to the finish details for high-end residences. Sun Valley Bronze succeeded in fulfilling its objectives and has grown into a leading manufacturer of fine architectural hardware. A factor that has propelled the company to the upper echelon of decorative hardware is its ability to adapt to change in the marketplace, from design preferences to technological advances in conceptualization and building. “When Sun Valley Bronze first started, all patterns were made in a wood shop by hand. Today, we are using state-of-the-art 3-D modeling software and CNC milling machines that are all manufactured in California at the Haas CNC factory. We collaborate with Boise State University to realize some of our more complicated designs with 3-D printing technology,” Bob explains. Sun Valley Bronze’s work, known for its simple, clean and timeless qualities, is driven by ergonomics and process. “Service and quality are the most important parts of our company,” he says. “We are focused on making products we are proud of, crafted of the highest quality materials and made in the U.S., and we back it up with friendly, prompt and honest service.”
“
Our clients are looking for one-ofa-kind products designed to last.
INSIDE SUN VALLEY BRONZE Fresh + favorite collections. Sun Valley Bronze is excited to introduce its new lighting collection, including the freestanding Otto lamp. A favorite of Bob’s is the patented adjustable ball-bearing hinge, which is a resounding success because it works so flawlessly. Provenance. Sun Valley Bronze designs and manufactures all of its products proudly in the U.S. Newly acquired. Sun Valley Bronze purchased Reveal Designs, which manufactures exceptional modern hardware, all designed by its worldrenowned design partners. Artistic update. Sun Valley Bronze is now casting brass in addition to its white and silicon bronze. Fun family fact. The lock key cover was designed by the Commons’ son Josh. He designed it to fit his thumbprints so the cover could easily be pushed from side to side. That small interaction with the hardware guided his process and is why the key cover has the unique ridge in the face of the design.
1. Assembly. Sun Valley Bronze hardware assembly includes stainless steel components and Teflon-coated springs for flawless function and to ensure longevity in humid or coastal climates. 2. Casting. The furnace heats the bronze to a pouring temperature of 2250° Fahrenheit.

LEE INDUSTRIES
DESIGN DIALOGUE LEE INDUSTRIES GIVES READERS INSIGHT INTO THE COMPANY’S SUSTAINABLE AND ARTISTIC INFLUENCES Do you have a design process? If so, what is it? When LEE envisions new designs for upholstery, it is the refinement of the design that makes our product unique. The details make the difference in our products—the contour of a leg, the seaming of a cushion, the grain of the wood, the curvature of the silhouette, the geometric precision of a frame, the hand tufting of the back—these become the stars of the show. Have your practices changed to keep up with new technologies? Absolutely! In manufacturing, all of our products are drawn in CAD, and our vendors must be able to receive all files in CAD, as well. Our cutting is done on automated cutters with talented operators making sure to achieve the highest yield of any fabric or leather used.
LEE Industries began in 1969 in a small workshop in North Carolina. From the beginning, the ambition of founders Bill and Dottie Coley was to manufacture quality, Americanmade furniture that they would use in their own home. Good fortune came in finding skilled craftspeople to create beautiful and enduring pieces.

For 47 years, creating quality home furnishings, building with pride and using sustainable practices has resulted in LEE earning Gold Exemplary Recognition from the Sustainable Furnishings Council.

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

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

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

BERNHARDT Bernhardt-built: It’s a legacy that honors hundreds of beautifully made furnishings crafted over a century. One of the largest family-owned companies in the country, Bernhardt is led today by the fourth generation of Bernhardts, enabling the firm’s rich history to live on through a deeply committed familial leadership. From its earliest days, furniture making has been an artisanal skill, passed down from generation to generation. Bernhardt honors the origins of the craft—as do its employees. “Over the 127 years we’ve been in business, generations of artisans have passed their expertise on to the next, while incorporating new technologies and innovative ways of making furniture,” shares Alex Bernhardt Jr., Bernhardt’s CEO and president. “The creativity, ingenuity and dedication of countless fathers and mothers, sons and daughters and husbands and wives form the bedrock of our company.” Founded in 1889 by John Mathias Bernhardt, Alex Bernhardt Jr.’s great-grandfather, Bernhardt was born upon the tenets of high-caliber materials, craftsmanship and people. “Leveraging the region’s natural resources and local woodworking skills to strengthen the local economy, he [John] opened his factory with vast ambitions and 25 employees. Our original guiding principle was quality craftsmanship in all our products and a responsibility and partnership with the people of our community,” Alex explains. Bernhardt’s case goods and upholstery are cherished and coveted globally, showcasing thoughtful originality and meticulous execution: they can be found adorning the interiors of posh five-star hotels, private residences and revered public institutions. “Our hope is that when someone looks at a piece of furniture, they will know it is Bernhardt by its style,” he says.
INSIDE BERNHARDT: HERITAGE AND DESIGN
“
We are dedicated to the idea of affordable luxury.
What is the philosophy behind your firm? The company’s history is one of creativity and passion for the artistry of furniture making, united with a deep commitment to people and relationships. Is your work easily recognizable? Do you have signature design elements? Particularly in our home collections, our brand is known for creating jewelry for the home, creating luxury moments where we live. This is usually accomplished by mixing different finishes and materials, with an emphasis on a variety of metals. Do you have a design process? If so, what is it? We create a palette of colors and materials and then create forms to clothe in these various textures. We rarely create a single piece in a vacuum. It’s always about the mix within a room.

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

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

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

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

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

Meridith Baer knows what sells. Her namesake home staging firm, which was started by accident in 1995 when she fixed up a home she was leasing and the landlord took notice, has grown from a one-woman show in Los Angeles to a team of 250 operating offices in L.A., Manhattan, the Hamptons, Connecticut, Florida and San Francisco. Just last year, her busy roster of designers completed nearly 1,500 installs. “Really what staging is, is a marketing tool,” says Baer. “We want someone to walk into a home and fall in love.” meridithbaer.com Why does someone need a stager? When you want to sell a house quickly and for the best possible price, a stager is a near necessity. You’re designing a blank room. First item you introduce to the space? Your large pieces of furniture are where you must start. You want to find the focus of the room—it might be a view or a fireplace—and plan your seating arrangement around it. Homebuyers are looking for... Comfort and ease. Buyers should think: It’s going to be easy to live here. It’s going to be easier than where I am now. Share what always helps a sale. A beautifully made, comfortable sofa that you just want to dive into really makes a space. Having quality primary pieces makes a big difference in a room.
4 OPEN HOUSE NEW YORK
A DRAMATIC LOFT IN TRIBECA Tucked inside an industrial-style loft in downtown New York City is a grand home currently owned by J.Crew CEO Mickey Drexler. As stylish and colorful as expected, the Thierry Despontdesigned home features an entry inspired by the Maison de Verre in Paris, a rooftop terrace and lofty ceilings. Why we love it: The five-bedroom stunner was once an old coffee roasting plant whose signage still remains, adding to its charm. $27.5 million, 464 Greenwich St.; corenyc.com
MIAMI
HIGH STYLE—AND HIGH FASHION—REIGN SUPREME WHEN LUXE OPENS THE DOORS TO THREE OVER-THETOP HOMES IN THE COUNTRY’S HOTTEST ’HOODS.
A WATERFRONT SANCTUARY ON THE BEACH If you were to imagine what Calvin Klein’s home might look like, there’s no doubt his now for-sale Miami Beach retreat would fit the bill. The open and airy interiors by Axel Vervoordt are minimally decorated with crisp neutral tones, unfinished materials, sturdy antiques and handmade furniture. Why we love it: The 5,800-square-foot home boasts copious outdoor space complete with an infinity pool and sweeping bay views. $16 million, 4452 N. Bay Rd.; elliman.com
LOS ANGELES
A COUNTRY HOUSE GOES CALIFORNIA-COOL Fashion and furniture designer James Perse reimagined his barn-like property with an effortlessly cool aesthetic perfect for the home’s beachside locale. Located in Point Dume in Malibu, with keyed access to Little Dume beach, the sixbedroom abode is situated on nearly 2 acres. Why we love it: Hints of its seaside environs are seen throughout the home, most notably in the custom surfboards that act as spontaneous décor. $12.9 million, 28929 Bison Ct.; compass.com

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

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

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

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

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

In addition to offering a vast selection of high-quality brands, the company has also garnered a reputation for its commitment to exceptional customer service. “Our great selection is just the beginning,” says Albert Lee Appliance trade partner specialist John Maas. “Our friendly, knowledgeable staff makes sure you find exactly what you need.” Among the more than 90 brands available through Albert Lee Appliance, one Italian manufacturer, Bertazzoni, has attracted a loyal following namely for the superior style and quality expected of luxury brands along with affordability. “Cooking products must deliver on the promise of performance,” says Doug McRobbie, owner of Echelon Home Products and Monde, a Bertazzoni distributor. “Bertazzoni has always aimed to offer products that are priced well below some other luxury brands. The new built-in products, refrigerators and dishwashers continue to live in that niche.” Product selection aside, Albert Lee Appliance is dedicated to pairing consumers with the perfect appliance to complete projects of any scope. “Whether you’re buying a new highperformance cooktop, building your dream kitchen or even designing an outdoor kitchen; Albert Lee is committed to making your appliance buying experience the best it can be,” Maas says.

”
APPLIANCE BUYING TIPS Function first. The primary consideration when purchasing an appliance is function. “The world of appliances is constantly evolving in feature, style and function,” Maas says. “The appliances need to do what you want them to do.” Knowledge is imperative. “There is a need for constant education and training among professionals in this industry,” Maas says. “Similarly, end users will need education and training at their home to realize the full benefit of their new purchases.” Seek professional help. “An appliance consultant will always inquire about the design style of the kitchen so that the selections will respect the work of the designer,” Maas says. “Once selections are made, the appliance consultant can work to make them blend into a cohesive style through color, overlay panels, etc.”

PEDINI SEATTLE/ PEDINI PDX
“
We design our kitchens much like restaurant kitchens, providing stations for certain tasks, such as prep, cooking and clean-up.
”
At Pedini Seattle and Pedini PDX, it is understood that the purchase and design of a kitchen or bathroom is a monumental task. As such, principals Paul Nadolny (Pedini Seattle) and Victoria Jones (Pedini PDX, based in Portland) lead their teams in assisting clients during every step of the design process. The European brand offers everything, from cabinetry to appliances to heated flooring, for what are arguably the home’s two most essential spaces. Asked to identify an element crucial to both the kitchen and bathroom, Nadolny points to cabinetry—an area in which Pedini is known to specialize. “Because of the advanced manufacturing techniques used in Europe, the fit and finish of our product exceeds that of most others in the marketplace,” he says. “Our cabinets have the highest sustainability rating available in Europe and come in a variety of door finishes, including some exciting new ones, such as matte glass and exotic wood veneers.”

Selective cohesion. “As long as it is done with purpose, you can deviate in certain areas to add interest with color, texture and accessories,” Nadolny says. New in innovation. Jones advises homeowners to keep an eye on adjustable-height work surfaces and curved cabinet components for enhanced ergonomics.

When each element has its purpose, place and meaning, everyone who enters will appreciate and enjoy the space.
Listen to Dawn Wilkinson’s description of Six Walls interior design, and you will be inspired before you have even begun to explore its impressive work. “Let us peel back the layers of the design process typically hidden behind closed doors,” she says. “If you think of a room like a box waiting to be opened, that’s what Six Walls is about. We break it down for you: each of the four walls, one floor and one ceiling.” The president and CEO of the Mercer Island-based company, Wilkinson, and every member of the Six Walls team strive to enrich the home as a whole. Roshini Hauser, a senior member of the design team, highlights this mantra in the project images featured. Wilkinson advises homeowners to work with a specialist. “Find a design firm with a diverse portfolio of work and a team of professionals in tune with the latest trends,” she says. “When interviewing a potential designer, ask how they will successfully interact with your general contractor to ensure your project is a success.”

“
We always want to find the appliance that best fits each customer’s needs.
”
“Always pick out your appliances first and build your kitchen around them,” advises William Gander, owner of Standard TV & Appliance. “So many people choose appliances last and they end up falling in love with an appliance that will not fit in the space they’ve created.” And Gander knows a thing or two about appliances and kitchen design. His family-owned Standard TV & Appliance has been delivering the most innovative, top-quality appliances since its inception in 1947. “Standard’s mission is to provide the highest level of service at the lowest price. Our goal is to provide a shopping experience that is far superior to the big box experience,” explains Gander. “We achieve that by having the most knowledgeable sales staff, the largest selection of brands, live kitchen vignettes where you can try before you buy, fast delivery seven days a week and professional installation.” Ultimately, the brand’s philosophy is centered on finding the perfect match. “When customers come in to purchase appliances, it doesn’t matter if it’s for an inexpensive top-load washer or a professional kitchen remodel,” says Gander. “An appliance purchase is a decision that will last 10 or more years, so we want it to be right for you.”

Re-think refrigeration. “You do not have to limit yourself to one giant unit,” says Gander. “Add a counterheight unit to your prep island, or add a wine cooler for the adults and a juice refrigerator for the kids.”

MEDIEVAL CHIC THE LEAVENING EFFECTS OF FRENCH STYLE FROM THE 1930S AND â&#x20AC;&#x2122;40S TEMPER A DESIGN INFLUENCED BY THE MIDDLE AGES INSIDE A SEATTLE HOME. WRITTEN BY JORGE S. ARANGO PHOTOGRAPHY BY BENJAMIN BENSCHNEIDER

H
ow’s this for an eccentric aesthetic program? “He wanted a Game of Thrones type of feel, but more modern,” James Fung says of the owner of a Seattle home on which he worked as project designer alongside interior designer Nancy Burfiend. “Not quite medieval, but with strong stone and ironwork—nothing too light or delicate.” Although the owner was enamored of the show’s 11th- to 13th-century European production values, he also envisioned a home with French Rococo, Moorish Revival and Art Deco elements—and wanted to integrate other imagery into the mix in a nod to his Pacific Northwest roots. Ultimately, says Burfiend, “he was looking for a bold design language and asked for statement rooms for entertaining while keeping comfort in mind.” Fortunately, the house, originally designed by Castanes Architects, offered classical architectural details that “aided in reinforcing our design concept,” notes Burfiend. Chiefly,
the residence came ready-made with a spectacular groinvaulted ceiling worthy of a medieval castle, along with columns and a symmetrical layout. A few adjustments did have to be made in order to create “a very clean, simple jumping-off point,” says Fung. All of the casework received new paint, and in the dining room, the duo redesigned the existing buffets, taking them in a Deco direction with stepped fronts, marble tops and black paint. This move created the backdrop against which the designers could freely blend rustic finishes with finer ones. In the former camp are, among others, a floor made of distressed truck decking in the subterranean whiskey lounge and a family room fireplace made of rusticated black granite framed in ebonized reclaimed Douglas fir. In the latter camp, elements include gold-leaf ceilings— “He wanted gold leaf with a particular amount of shine to it,” remembers Burfiend—and Venetian plaster walls in several rooms.

The client was exceptionally clear and confident, Fung and Burfiend recall. In fact, a trip he took to Louisiana early in the process oriented the designers in a very specific direction. “He wanted things to have a story behind them,” explains Fung. Adds Burfiend: “It created a sense of authenticity to the overall furniture presence within the home.” The client began making the rounds of the New Orleans antiques shops and sending the team pictures of lighting, which helped the designers develop the scheme. A gold-and-bronze Empire chandelier ended up in the entry under the vaulted ceiling, while two 19th-century French wrought-iron lanterns now hang above the dining room table.

Some contemporary furnishings also nod discreetly to the Middle Ages vibe. A zinc-topped game table with nailhead trim in the family room is flanked by leather chairs with barley twist stretchers and more nailhead trim. Lions—a favorite motif of the owner and a common symbol of heraldry in the high medieval period—stand at the home’s entry. The lion theme is also incorporated on the brass details of the bar in the whiskey lounge and on the door knockers that access it. Deco influences give all this potential heaviness some ballast. Fung and Burfiend surrounded the dining table, for

The master bedroom’s stylish nook, sporting gold-leaf wallcovering, an embossed-leather-and-lacquer cabinet and gold-framed armchairs, could easily have graced a project by renowned French Deco designer Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann. “It was tricky to get all this to work and not have one piece overwhelm the others,” admits Burfiend. Also tricky was a lot of the craftsmanship that was involved, says general contractor Edward Winzenried. “All that gold-leafing required scaffolding,” he explains. “The craftspeople were in the house for almost a month to hand-apply all those 8-inch squares of gold leaf, then seal the ceilings,” he says. Winzenried also revamped the family 292 / LUXESOURCE.COM
room fireplace. “Our masonry subcontractor had to climb inside the fireplace structure and install big steel beams to make sure it could hold the weight of all that granite,” Winzenried says, adding that it also took three weeks to lay the marble floor in the master bathroom. “The major construction happened with the owner living on the site, so sequencing had to be very prioritized.” In the end, though not quite the life-and-death struggle depicted in Game of Thrones, where warring factions vie for the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms, the project still required tremendous skill in order to balance the competing aesthetic impulses that could have derailed the design. “It’s ornate, and there’s so much going on,” concludes Burfiend, “but it’s not overbearing.”

NO MATTER THE MEDIUM, A SEATTLE ARTISTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S EVOCATIVE WORK SPEAKS TO A COMPELLING VISION OF THE WORLD. WRITTEN BY LAURA MORGAN / PHOTOGRAPHY BY MELANIE BIEHLE
Artist Jennifer Ament creates her dream-like paintings using traditional encaustic techniques. Wielding a blowtorch like a paintbrush, her work represents interpretations of minerals, landscapes and celestial forms. Though rooted in history, her process is intuitive and experimental.
I
’ve always been obsessed with the sky and the moons and the celestial world,” says Seattle-based artist Jennifer Ament, whose paintings, often flecked with gold leaf, evoke a virtual gateway to another galaxy. Striving to create something that is immersive and meditative, her work is nonetheless edged with intensity. “Contrasts appeal to me,” says Ament, “like the beauty of a decaying, fallen tree or a painful memory softened over time.” Her results are transporting, timeless and, as one might expect, tranquil. What is unexpected is that her ethereal pieces are created not by brushstroke, but by blowtorch. For the past decade, Ament has worked in encaustic, a process that involves applying heat to a mix of beeswax, damar resin and colored pigment. “Some people use heat guns, but in my opinion, you can get a larger movement pattern with a blowtorch,” the artist adds. The method allows her to slowly construct and hide imagery, “as if looking at something under the surface of a frozen lake or discovering the secrets embedded in an agate,” she says. Ament’s technique requires not only a certain confidence—“It’s incredibly empowering to use a blowtorch,” she admits—but also proper space. Before moving into her current studio, located five blocks from her home, Ament worked from her garage, which had its own issues. Sparing the sticky spiderweb details, suffice it to say, “A massive, waxy smoke is produced when you LUXESOURCE.COM / 299
Artist Jennifer Ament (shown below in her studio) uses a blowtorch to heat each layer of wax she applies; the resulting painting can sometimes have up to 20 layers on the wood panels, her chosen surface. She uses traditional encaustic materials— pigments (opposite), damar resin and beeswax (bottom, right).

Ament displays shells and minerals in her studio (below). Besides her encaustic paintings, she also paints with oils and is a printmaker. Some of her encaustic pieces feature gold leaf (above).

use a blowtorch on wooden panels,” explains the artist. “It’s the messiest process ever.” While Ament enjoyed a rather nomadic upbringing, she eventually settled in Seattle. The metropolis is the perfect match for her— thematically and spiritually. “My pieces are about the magic of the Northwest and how I experience growth and change,” she says. Living in a city brimming with natural wonders provides a steady source of inspiration, while Seattle’s spirit resonates with her values. “Many of us in the Northwest have an evolved selfawareness,” she says. “We respect and listen to others, but we can sometimes downplay our talents because we want to stay humble. There’s good and bad to that.” Despite her low-key approach, word is getting out: Painting commissions are on the rise, and she maintains a thriving print business. The latter, her limited-edition, hand-printed linocuts, nod to rock ‘n’ roll subcultures almost as often as they do organic macrocosms. “Right now, paintings are in the lead with how much I have been working on new commissions, but my prints are a constant,” says Ament. While buyers so far have discovered Ament’s work via word of mouth, that looks to be changing. This November, she’ll participate in the first Accessible Art Fair in New York, which will focus on emerging and established artists without gallery representation. “I would definitely love, alongside my peers, to gain recognition,” she says. Considering her stellar (pun intended) work, she may get more than she bargained for.

Architect Stuart Silk and his team preserved a Portland home’s period details while updating the layout for modern living.

S
ome guys love cars. He loves houses,” says architect Stuart Silk of his client, who had previously restored a home. “He’s a historic architecture buff.” This time around, the house was a Portland gem. Designed in 1928, the sprawling brick-and-plaster abode seamlessly combines English Arts and Crafts and Tudor Revival influences, while the interior boasts textural hand-troweled plaster walls, leaded-glass windows and hand-tooled oak paneling. “This is one of the top historic homes in the city,” says Silk, who worked on the residence with interior designer Danielle Krieg and project manager Jeff Ruehlmann, who is no longer with the firm. “It was probably the queen bee of the neighborhood when it was built.” While the new owners appreciated the home’s period details, they envisioned a fresher, more relaxed feeling, which meant rethinking and reorganizing spaces. “The north wing was a rabbit warren,” reports Silk. “One of our charges was to knit the house back together—to make it more cohesive and connected.” Although Silk says it’s “historic renovation 101” to preserve as many details as possible, such as many of the now restored metal sash windows, the architect made significant changes where necessary. Demolishing the original back stairway, for example, allowed the kitchen to be relocated toward the family area and opened to an octagonal dining room. Expanding arched openings between the two brought in light from the east and brightened the wing, while new limestone flooring, custom-bleached white-oak cabinetry and thick Calacatta marble countertops established the more relaxed feeling that the owners envisioned. “The LUXESOURCE.COM / 307
kitchen has a kind of lived-in elegance,” says Krieg, who handled the interior surfaces and finishes. “The flooring gives it an old-world look, but we incorporated modern finishes and cabinetry.” Outside, the space looks to a multilevel patio with brick walls and sandstone pavers that landscape architect Larry Cavender points out match those used on the original grounds. It’s one of several distinct areas that Cavender created throughout the property, including a peaceful courtyard with a fountain. Benches strategically placed throughout the grounds provide views of the composition of the home and garden together. “The owners wanted a casual, informal French-country feeling,” Cavender says, “but all within the framework of the existing architectural features and plantings that we were preserving.” Lavender, baby’s breath, boxwood, delphinium, hydrangea and other plants give the garden the romantic feel the wife requested.
As much as Silk and his team updated the home for contemporary living, it was up to project manager Dave Lucas to keep many of the home’s original features intact. “Of all the projects I’ve managed over the past 27 years, this one is certainly at the top of the list,” he notes. In addition to replacing the original radiators, plumbing and electrical systems, Lucas and his crew meticulously recreated original details such as the carved linenfold panels on the handsome front door. “We had to match the interior patinas, too, which was a fun challenge,” Lucas says. The owners tapped designer Joelle Nesen to furnish the home. “Their vision was to create a light and airy sort of French-meets-Belgian look that was casual but still elegant,” explains Nesen. “The cleaner furniture allows the architecture to sing.” In the living room, for example, a pair of candlesticks on the coffee table seem as though

To continue the mixed theme, near the piano, the designer created a gallery wall, combining traditional paintings alongside works by contemporary artists such as Richard Serra and Barbara Bartholomew. Nesen carried the formula throughout the house, including into the master bedroom, where a four-poster bed with billowy white drapery and comfortable custom
chairs in light fabrics provide a striking juxtaposition against the room’s dramatic vaulted ceiling, plaster walls and exposed white-oak beams. “The quieter interior lets the strong architecture do all the talking,” says the designer. “There needs to be tension without a fight.” Indeed, the dynamic conflict between historic and modern influences was key to achieving the casual yet storied look that the owners envisioned from the very beginning. “We loved the buzz of the excitement of the collaboration, and they were dream clients,” says Silk. “They have very evolved taste, and we learned as much from them as they learned from us.” LUXESOURCE.COM / 315

MIX
AGAINST A STATELY BACKDROP, A SEATTLE HOMEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S INTERIORS COMBINE ACCENTS OF BOLD COLOR WITH A LIVELY ASSORTMENT OF ANTIQUE, VINTAGE AND CONTEMPORARY FURNISHINGS. WRITTEN BY TERRI SAPIENZA / PHOTOGRAPHY BY AARON LEITZ

Interior designer Jessica Joers and her partner Bradley Huson grounded the living room of a Seattle home, renovated by architect Paul Moon, with a carpet from Stark and draperies fashioned from a Pindler silk. The walls are painted with Benjamin Moore’s Amherst Gray. Kravet leather covers the ottomans between a pair of club chairs in a Larsen wool. The piano is by Steinway & Sons.
A
fter living for a time in their newly renovated Seattle digs without furniture, designer Jessica Joers’ clients turned to her for help settling in. “I walked into this blank traditional space, which I loved,” says Joers, “but I wanted to make it more transitional for a young, stylish family.” The house, situated in a historic neighborhood, had recently been remodeled by architect Paul Moon, and what it may have lacked in furnishings, it certainly made up for with a beautiful new interior backdrop. Before the renovation, the house was in dire need of updating, says Moon, a longtime friend of the homeowners. “It had a very 1980s feel and dated detailing,” he says. “The exterior property and French-style façade were stately, but the interior was plain by comparison, so there was a disconnect.” Moon gutted the interiors, bumping out the back of the house. This made more room for the kitchen, aligning it with the foyer and the dining room and bringing in more natural light. He then added architectural detailing to elevate the interiors and visually unify the inside and outside. Formal paneling, tray and coffered ceilings, hefty crown molding, and wainscoting were installed throughout and painted a crisp white. Moon underscored the classic approach by pairing the white walls with dark-stained oak flooring, the contrast calling further attention to the detailed millwork. He opted for natural materials and a white and gray color scheme to establish a clean canvas for the décor. “If you introduce too many loud colors, the architecture ends up speaking loudly and diluting the furnishings,” he says. “Our idea was to create a formal, neutral background to allow the furnishings and accents to pop.” For Joers, who worked on the project with her design partner, Bradley Huson, “the palette was our jumping-off point,” she says. “We loved the gray walls and white trim.”
Grass-cloth wallcovering from Phillip Jeffries serves as the backdrop in the dining room. The antique English dining table and buffet mingle with contemporary pieces, such as a chandelier from Porta Romana. The vintage dining chairs sport Kravet leather. The sconce is from Circa Lighting.

To fill the home with furnishings that reflected the lifestyle of her clients—a couple with children and a dog—Joers combined vibrant accent colors with pieces from different centuries and styles as well as myriad textures to render rooms that feel collected and polished without being fussy. “Our goal was to make the house beautiful yet functional for a growing family, so we counterbalanced the traditional architecture with a mix of antiques, and midcentury and contemporary pieces,” Joers says. “The result is chic while also being very comfortable and user-friendly.” The careful play between the traditional architecture and the designer’s concept for the interiors begins in the entry. Although the previous space was dark with little
ornamentation, the revamped two-story iteration is grand and welcoming. It’s also flooded with natural light, thanks to the addition of side windows that let in sun from all directions. Joers treated the space as her canvas, placing a pair of petite consoles—their gilt neoclassical profiles modernized with smoked acrylic tops—opposite each other. Midcentury mirrors hang above them, acting almost as a second set of windows reflecting light, while a simple wood Queen Anne side chair quietly rounds out the room. Chinese vases, in an eye-catching canary yellow, infuse the space with color and energy. “The gray-and-white backdrop was the perfect foil for the yellow,” Joers says of the vibrant lemon, citron, bronze and gold hues she
In the family room, a cozy Stark shag carpet runs underfoot. The curvy sectional wears a Romo mohair, and the lounge chairs are dressed in a Glant fabric; a Circa Lighting pendant hangs above. A Schumacher floor lamp offers more illumination, while vintage artwork and a coffee table complete the vignette.
To match the elegant lines of the home, which is nestled on a tree-laden lot in a historic Seattle neighborhood, Moon made significant changes to the interior. The exterior French doors and woodclad windows are from Sierra Pacific Windows.

used throughout the house. “We are in Seattle; we have gray, cloudy days. Touches of yellow really brighten things up. We were looking for color here, not trying to be subtle.” The living room, with its high ceilings, crisp moldings and paneled fireplace, called for a more formal turn: a 19th-century Japanese six-panel screen. “We love using screens because they’re elegant and have a timeless, enduring quality,” says Joers. “The wave design adds movement, and the paint has a shimmering effect. We installed lighting over each panel, and the paper just glows.” The antique screen is right at home with neoclassical chairs and a piano, which the designer balanced with the addition of a Milo Baughman sectional dressed in mohair and a pair of Edward Wormley club chairs flanking the fireplace. A petrified-wood side table “adds an earthy quality, which keeps it from being too precious,” explains Joers. The quatrefoil-pattern rug and marbleized dove-gray leather on the chairs were carried into adjacent rooms for visual continuity. The lively yellows in the main living spaces were traded for delicate shades upstairs in the master bedroom, where the statement is understated and serene. A bed upholstered in wool sits opposite the fireplace. Near it stand oversize Louis XVI-style chairs, yielding a comfortable spot for the family to gather together and read. “It’s the mix that makes the house beautiful, functional and fresh,” says Joers. “You need that balance to be successful.”

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