WHAT’S NEW

_LX_COM12_EditorLetter.indd 84

The season of renewal (current projects! fresh ideas!) is here—and yet spring can also be a time when buds take a tad longer to bloom and concepts need coaxing to get started. We’ve all been there with the proverbial blank page staring us down. So, consider this New + Now issue to be an inspiration injection, where we update your point of view with discoveries that allow you to step outside the day-to-day and dive into something altogether new. Costas Voyatzis, the man behind yatzer.com, the global kaleidoscope of what’s happening in art, fashion and design, lets us in on the top brands to watch in 2017. We also

present the latest in side tables, report on the trend of vivid color making its way into homes across the country (Farrow & Ball Chappell Green, I have my eyes on you!), and head outdoors for a showcase of sumptuous new textiles.

This spring, we also invite you online to the enhanced luxesource.com. Browse around and take a look. We’ll be tweaking things in the weeks to come, but hope you enjoy our ever-evolving digital home for design inspiration and discovery.

memo DEBBY STEINER PUBLISHER

Welcome to the March/April issue of Luxe Interiors + Design. Spring is in the air in the Pacific Northwest, and we were excited to celebrate some fantastic events this past season. In February, we joined many A-list architects for a panel, which was hosted at Bradlee Distributors and moderated by Luxe’s Pacific Northwest homes editor, Lisa Bingham Dewart. Architectural leaders discussed topical design trends and how they impact PNW lifestyles. Lisa was also a recent judge of the annual Northwest Design Awards at the Seattle Design Center, which hosted a gala in February. The goal of the awards is to reward outstanding interior design talent in the Pacific Northwest. We hope you enjoy this spring issue, and stay tuned for more exclusive events coming up this year. Cheers!

CONTRIBUTORS

BEHIND THE SCENES PRODUCED BY SARAH RAMIREZ

LIZ ARNOLD Writer / New York Favorite Luxe interview: I really enjoyed speaking with designer Michael Siller and luxury rug specialist Larry Hokanson about their own Houston home. They are both history buffs and enthusiasts of Russian classicism, and they are incredibly knowledgeable on the intersection of history and design.

They filled their interiors with reproductions of exquisite pieces selected during trips to The State Hermitage Museum in Russia, and I still have plans to show up on their doorstep one day to see it for myself! Who is the most fascinating person you’ve ever met? Eva Zeisel. She was a playful Hungarian-born industrial designer who was imprisoned by Joseph Stalin’s regime before moving her ceramics into mass production, and she had the first one-woman show at the MoMA. Sadly, she passed away in 2011 at the age of 105. Prized possessions: A coin pendant of Queen Elizabeth II—a gift from my late father—that I wear on a long necklace; a vintage French upholstered armchair in mustard yellow that’s so low you feel like you’re in a sports car; and my computer, which stores all of my writing and ideas.

EMILY MINTON REDFIELD Photographer / Denver

What do you find inspiring about design today? Having nostalgia for 1970s wallpaper, I love seeing the new designs and appreciation for this art form. I can’t wait to put an Abigail Borg paper in my powder room and make it a fresh, retro jewel box. Unforgettable Luxe shoot: One of my most memorable projects was a home designed by my visionary father, Joseph Minton. Not only were the house and location beautiful, but I was also able to do the shoot in my pajamas alongside my dad. On your coffee table: I am inspired by design books and have them all over my house, but I am mostly fueled by fiction. My recent favorites are City of Thieves

by David Benioff and All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. Most fascinating person you’ve ever met: The Maharaja of Jaipur at a small dinner party in Delhi, India, when I was 24.

LX_COM12_Contributors.indd 98

MARK ROSKAMS Photographer / New York Whose work are you most influenced by? Photographer Raymond Meier, who does such brilliant and innovative work in the commercial advertising and editorial fields; photographer François Halard, who developed a unique style in the world of interior photography; and designer and artist Doug Meyer, a longtime friend and collaborator who gives me so much inspiration in regards to design. What type of design inspires you? I really enjoy Santiago Calatrava’s bridges, buildings and public spaces, as well as Brutalist architecture of the old regimes, which are such amazing structures in their own right. Favorite assignments: In 2010, I worked on a book with Rizzoli in Puglia, Italy, and then on a second book last year. They were both great projects, and the memories of meeting people and seeing firsthand the beauty of many things—humanity, history, architecture, life, food and passion—will last forever. I am continuing this endeavor with a new book I am planning this year on the stables and barns of the British Isles.

LAURA FISHER KAISER Writer / Washington, D.C. My biggest creative influence comes from… Viewing art. I try to go to a museum once a week. Dream assignment: I would love to have a time-machine talk show called What Were You Thinking, where I interview famous, and infamous, people from history. Most-loved book: The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt’s New World by Andrea Wulf. She rummages through the scientist’s notebooks and inside his mind to show how his ideas helped create modern environmentalism. What advice would you give your 20-year-old self? Think big, but master the details. Also, find a good therapist. If not a writer, I would be… A Smithsonian museum curator.

MAKING DESIGNERS AND CRAFTSMEN FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ARE BUILDING NEW FUTURES TOGETHER AND REDEFINING WHAT IT MEANS TO BE MADE IN AMERICA. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

The portrait of an artist as a solitary genius, toiling away and perfecting his craft in isolation, may be a romantic notion—a testament to a love of artistry so intense and allconsuming that nothing else matters—but it’s also a relic of the past. Today’s craftsmen and creatives don’t want to suffer for their art; instead, they’re using their creations to build bridges not only to the people who will ultimately invite the pieces into their homes but also to those who share their passions: fellow makers. As manufacturing in America continues to fight to thrive in the competitive global economy, the you-can’tsit-with-us mentality is giving way to communal tables, which in many cases have been built in collaboration by the people who sit around them. In places all over the country, this longing for connection is redefining what it means to be made in America, resulting in growing communities of independent designers who work side by side, collaborate regularly and sell their wares together. Here, we share some of our favorites.

NEW YORK WHAT IT IS: Located on Canal Street in New York City, Colony is equal parts showroom and gallery with carefully curated goods from independent designers—many with ties to the area and working studios in nearby Brooklyn.

Founded and curated by entrepreneur Jean Lin, the design co-op also has a strategic arm, named Colony Consult, developed to help designers better position their work in the retail market. WHAT IT DOES: Colony provides a community for the furniture, lighting, textile and object designers who call it home. In addition to offering a brick-and-mortar location for members to showcase their goods, Lin also thinks outside the box with a series of exhibits and pop-ups with neighboring non-endemic businesses to drive new traffic to the space.

DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Industry darlings like Erickson Aesthetics, whose in-progress copper Manifold chair is featured on our Radar opener, count themselves part of Colony, as do craftsman and designer Aaron Poritz (pictured far right), whose gorgeous Abner toolbox (shown on the previous page) offers both form and function; lighting upstart Allied Maker and its Voyager 333 chandelier (shown right, top); and the woodworking wunderkinds behind Vonnegut/Kraft, who are responsible for the handsome Black Crescent lounge (right, bottom).

▲ JOIN DESIGN

SEATTLE WHAT IT IS: Founded in 2008 by the prolific minds behind some of the Pacific Northwest’s most successful creative practices—Grain, Iacoli & McAllister and Ladies & Gentlemen Studio, for example—Join Design has become much more than a venture to showcase local talents and now includes more than 50 members

LX_COM12_Radar_Made_In_America.indd 104

from independent design studios all over the country. WHAT IT DOES: In addition to hosting events and exhibits featuring products (made in the USA, of course) from its impressive roster of makers, Join also solicits new product design, curates its own collections for popular trade shows, offers mentorship programs and organizes retail pop-ups. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Multimedia artist Aleksandra Pollner’s

unique and modern approach to traditional furniture constructs, as shown in the table above, left, is breathtaking; designer Melanie Abrantes creates chic accessories (above, right) using beautifully grained wood and cork, the nonconventional material of our dreams; and The Granite’s expert handling of form and function makes even the most mundane of objects extraordinary.

L.A. BOX COLLECTIVE

LOS ANGELES WHAT IT IS: A community built by Los Angelesbased furniture makers, L.A. Box Collective started as a way to bond over the group’s shared commitment to working with sustainable materials while engaged in sustainable practices— something they continue to honor through a particularly thoughtful mission statement. WHAT IT DOES: Not only does the collective encourage and provide support to makers who seek to tackle their craft with a mindful approach to the environment, it also puts on joint exhibitions of work completed under a common theme: For example, last year, its 10 members debuted a show at the Craft & Folk Art Museum, titled “Windfall,” which featured new works crafted exclusively from wood sourced from local trees felled during California’s historic San Gabriel Valley windstorm of 2011. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Casey Dzierlenga splits her time between Los Angeles and her home base in New York’s Hudson River Valley, where she mostly mills wood from her own land before transforming it into clean-lined masterpieces with an organic feel, as demonstrated by the wonderfully simplistic yet impactful aesthetic of the Alma credenza and Lorca coffee table

(shown above and right); while a foundation and love for midcentury designers fuels designer and craftsman David Johnson’s original works as well as his careful Danish modern restoration projects that somehow capture and preserve their makers’ intentions while offering up a little something extra.

PARIS WHAT IT IS: A Paris-based showroom dedicated to introducing international design lovers to the best of American design, Triode is expanding the conversation surrounding what it means for a product to be made in America to a whole new audience. Founder Jacques Barret presents this generation of American classics along with reissues from greats like Finn Juhl and Richard Neutra. WHAT IT DOES: Barret is making the domestic design movement cool again by bringing it to the epicenter of global chic, Paris— home to one of the furniture industry’s most well-respected yearly celebrations, Maison & Objet—and allowing the pieces to stand on their own against friendly competition from all over the globe. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Based in New York, Anna Karlin’s eye-catching contemporary furniture forms (shown at left) feel vaguely European but are all produced with the help of local artisans; and Apparatus, Rosie Li and Bec Brittain’s illuminated offerings break the mold on traditional lighting from studios in Brooklyn.

HUBBARDTON FORGE’S DESIGN DIRECTOR DAVID KITTS SHARES HOW ONE OF THE COUNTRY’S OLDEST AND LARGEST COMMERCIAL FORGES IN OPERATION IS EXPANDING—WITH ITS NEWEST LINE, VERMONT MODERN—AND REDEFINING AMERICAN CRAFTSMANSHIP. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRITTANY S. CHEVALIER

Speaking of process, tell us how you brought your visions to life. Our design process starts off very hands-on: We make a sketch and often work with steel, paper or foam models, and then we figure out how to illuminate the initial concept. As an unconventional design group, we were able to “loosen up” and really have fun with the offerings.

We quickly realized, though, that fun isn’t always easy; there’s a fine line between a design that is simple and a design that is pure. Striving for this purity has been both enjoyable and challenging.

Why is it so important to continue to honor the company’s tradition of craft? It’s a part of Hubbardton Forge’s legacy—the commitment to the handmade—and it was one of the driving forces behind Vermont Modern. Everyone here believes in it, which is good since a lot of people contribute to the final product. For example, three different departments work intently on constructing the actual form—from molding and cutting the steel to cleaning raw edges and prepping the material for welding. After the elements are forged

LX_COM12_Radar_Debut.indd 108

together, they’re cleaned again before heading to the final three departments, starting with the finishing team. In this stage, the products are powder-coated and cured in our ovens, then sent to assembly, where they are completed and tested before shipping out.

Share some of the materials you added to this line to complement Hubbardton’s signature steel. We introduced Vermont maple in a natural finish that is locally sourced from Maple Landmark, a wooden toy crafter 30 miles north of the forge in Vermont. We thought the wood element added a nice natural contrast to the steel, and its natural state adds a touch of Danish modern appeal.

Do you have a favorite piece in the collection? While I am intrigued by the Metro pendant (shown here), and the duality of its piping acting as a functional and primary decorative element, I am also drawn to our Copernicus design. It is very different from anything we have ever done, as it is very minimal and comprises only three basic components: an LED light, steel rails, and wooden balls that act as isolators. In the past, we would have tried to add a forged-steel element to give it something more, but with Vermont Modern we are really trying to keep the design pure by boiling it down to its innate essence.

PHOTO: JUDE GOLDMAN .

Hubbardton Forge’s newest collection is innovative and fresh and marks a shift from its more traditional offerings. What was the inspiration behind the line? The initial goal for Vermont Modern was to appeal to a younger, more urban demographic, to people who appreciate high-quality, contemporary design from a socially responsible domestic manufacturer who still crafts each piece one at a time.

RADAR / BEHIND THE BRAND

Family Affair MCKINNON AND HARRIS EMBRACES A LOCAL, HANDMADE ETHOS, INSTILLING A SENSE OF TRADITION AND PLACE IN THE COMPANY’S OUTDOOR FURNISHINGS.

“We always say that we don’t want to be the biggest outdoor furniture maker in the world; we just want to be the best,” says Anne Massie, the cofounder, with her brother Will, of Richmond, Virginia-based McKinnon and Harris. For the siblings, the key to being the best means keeping things local. The pair opened their doors in 1991, and the area, itself a historic center of craft, provides a spark that has allowed the company to thrive. Says Will Massie, “McKinnon and Harris could never live in an industrial park; we crave the energy and inspiration of our city.”

Born from rough pencil sketches, McKinnon and Harris’ furnishings are handmade in a workshop flooded with light thanks to a clerestory running the length of the building. After being refined by the Massies and their team of engineers, the designs are put into production in a process relying on methods both old and new. Hammers, mallets, hand files of varying shapes and sizes, chisels and clamps can be found in the factory, along with a 62-person force of craftspeople who possess knowledge and skill born of years of practice. “You can palpably feel the drive for excellence and innovation and hear the hum of hands working and the sounds of metal being formed,” says Will.

Time-honored practices, though, share space with cutting-edge technology, especially when it comes to the company’s coating process, which manages to be both environmentally friendly and effective.

Inspiration for their pieces comes from traditional sources: A new collection launching this spring came by way of a nautical-feeling, French Art Deco chair from the 1930s. The roots of new designs also start closer to home—namely from Anne’s garden at her historic residence. “Spending a lot of time there makes it easy to realize what would

LX_COM12_Radar_BehindTheBrand.indd 110

make my own outdoor spaces more comfortable,” she shares. There’s also the Wyatt garden table collection, titled after the Massies’ grandmother, Ella Wyatt McKinnon Massie, while their Beaufort club chairs are named after a family dog always on the lookout for the most comfortable seat.

The siblings are committed to keeping their focus on outdoor furnishings and their operations local. “Absolutely no one knows as much as we do about building and coating beautiful aluminum furniture,” notes Anne. “For now, we plan to continue innovating and perfecting our first love.” And, in keeping with that smaller yet better ethos, they’re staying small and close to home. “Our pieces deserve to never see a factory floor,” says Will. “Plus, it would be impossible to achieve our level of perfection on any larger of a scale. Mass-producing McKinnon and Harris’ Beaufort club chairs gather around a Wyatt table or overseas manufacturing would (top) at the home of company cofounder Will Massie (shown center, left, be a completely soulless endeavor, with sister and business partner Anne Massie); the duVal-Alexander sun and we couldn’t do it.” bed is shown above.

DESIGN PASSPORT LOOKING TO BOOKMARK A NEW MUST-READ WEBSITE? LUXE CATCHES UP WITH COSTAS VOYATZIS, THE CREATIVE FORCE BEHIND YATZER.COM AND ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING VOICES IN INTERNATIONAL DESIGN. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA PORTRAIT BY YIORGOS KAPLANIDIS

What made you decide to launch Yatzer?

My obligatory draft in the Greek military came up. I had actually delayed it for quite a while, but at the age of 26, I couldn’t put it off anymore.

So, I was drafted, and I had to leave my job, the career I was forging and all the contacts I had made behind, and I worried that the year and a half in the military would halt my career. It was this fear, that I’d lose touch with the industry, that actually became the catalyst for yatzer.com.

I wanted to stay connected even though I wasn’t physically present. It began as my private blog and evolved into what it is today.

Share your most-loved part of the job.

I love to attend trade shows and do market coverage because I always discover hidden design gems. Although it takes days to complete my research after the shows, I can’t wait to press the publish button and share my discoveries with people who don’t have the chance to travel

LX_COM12_Radar_Yatzer_.indd 112

PORTRAIT LOCATION: ELECTRA METROPOLIS ATHENS . PRODUCT VIGNETTES: COURTESY YATZER.COM .

Perhaps it’s not hard to believe that the same place that gave us the Acropolis and the Parthenon—Athens, Greece—would still be making major offerings to the worlds of architecture and design. Today’s contributions, though, aren’t being built with painstakingly stacked brick or stone, but with pixels: Greek native Costas Voyatzis’ international website, yatzer.com, has become an undeniable resource for design lovers all over the globe.

Here, Voyatzis, a former magazine editor and avid traveler, retraces the path that led him to creating one of the hottest corners on the web and serves as the super-hip tour guide for all the best of the overseas creative scene. yatzer.com

and attend these shows but want to “relive” them through my eyes. But, also, it is important to cover these events for the people—designers and companies—who, although they have participated in the shows, due to their hectic schedules, don’t even have the time to check out what’s happening in the stand around the corner from theirs or in a different hall from the one they are in.

Do you have any favorite trade shows?

Definitely the first place belongs to Salone del Mobile Milano, which is a part of a much bigger event, Milano Design Week. Although there is never enough time to see everything, it is still the place where the industry’s major trends are born. Next, I have to mention Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair, because who can ignore Scandinavian design? And, then, the Biennale Interieur in Kortrijk, Belgium, which has been happening every two years since 1968; the careful curatorial job behind it is visible in every detail of the fair.

Top five brands to watch in 2017: For furniture, I’ve got my eye on Ginger & Jagger out of Porto, Portugal; for lighting, London’s Bert Frank has so much promise; Fabscarte from Milan has my vote for shaking up the world of wallpapers; Barcelona-based Octaevo is turning traditional stationery on its head; and, finally, Kikof from Tokyo has absolutely incredible offerings in ceramic tableware.

Tell us about the products you have on your own wish list.

There’s desk sculptures by graphic designer and architect Kristina Dam from Copenhagen.

The set comes with a round paperweight in stoneware, a triangle bookend in marble, a wooden cone and an arc in brass (all shown on previous page). I also love the Ora Sculptural

table clock by the Switzerland-based design duo Panter & Tourron—a collaboration between Italy’s Stefano Panterotto and Alexis Tourron from France. The Stadium Light No. 1 by Danish furniture and product designer Niclas Jørgensen is also a favorite, as are the Touch trays by Studioilse for Zanat. Finally, I’m a big fan of the Plugged series of carafes, jugs, soliflore and table lamps by Lebanese interior architect and product designer Richard Yasmine.

Why do you think it’s important to talk about design with a multicultural lens?

There are many design sites around the world that focus on domestic design, but I believe that yatzer.com gives readers a wider perspective.

It affords them the opportunity to see the trends as they are being created around the world, and they can therefore witness their progression and subsequent development.

Is there a particular country whose design scene is really interesting you right now?

What instantly comes to mind are the wireweaving works being created in Africa. These are amazing to me because the artists are combining modern technology—telephone wires—with traditional weaving techniques and craftsmanship. The results are so unique.

From top: The Plugged series of drink and glassware from Lebanese designer Richard Yasmine; an assortment of Touch trays by Studioilse for Zanat; and the Ora Sculptural table clock by Panter & Tourron.

#INSTACRUSH

@emaphotographi WHO: Vancouverite Ema Peter uses her keen eye for essential design elements such as color, angles, shape and form to enhance the visual impact of a space or building, and her architectural still lifes are anything but stagnant.

WHAT: Peter’s bright compositions are captured with the spontaneity of seeing a structure for the first time. Using natural light as her only filter and opting for professional camera equipment over her iPhone, she focuses on a riveting feature within a space to get “the shot.” Followers will see angular staircases, illuminated exteriors and profound passageways.

IN HER WORDS: “I follow the light. Just as people have expressions, buildings do, too.

Those expressions come in the form of the lines and shapes of a structure. There is always one image that has magic in it.”

BLUEPRINT ASIAN ART MUSEUM

The Asian Art Museum, recently added to the National Register of Historic Places, will undergo a major transformation and expansion this fall, fusing the historic and the innovative into a singular structure. The project promises more galleries and events plus greater access to the naturescape of Volunteer Park, itself a historic relic since 1976.

The original Art Deco façade from 1933 will be preserved while the interiors will receive structural improvements including a new light-filled glass lobby where the park, the architecture and the extensive Asian art collection will be showcased together. LMN Architects, known for its historic restorations, is leading the project alongside landscape architect Walker Macy. The building will reopen in 2019. seattleartmuseum.org

THE INSIDER TOBY BARRATT

Toby Barratt is one-third of the creative team behind Propellor, a multidisciplinary design studio in Vancouver. With a background in fine art and sculpture, Barratt designs and builds lighting fixtures, furniture and sculptures inspired by nature, using materials such as birch bark, porcelain, zinc and burnt wood. Here, Barratt discusses the power of the elements, Vancouver’s design renaissance and what’s inspiring him now. propellor.ca How is the design scene in Vancouver evolving? Great design has always originated from this region, but in the last decade there has been an explosion of creativity and entrepreneurship here. There is an increasing sense of confidence coming through in the work and an energy emanating from the scene.

Inspiration of the moment: Nature—particularly creeks, streams and rivers; the large-scale timber buildings of Michael Green Architecture; poetry by Jim Harrison; and Alexander Calder’s sculptures.

Dream project: To build a retreat to share the beauty of Vancouver’s local rainforest with visitors. In fact, we are working on a project of huts, walkways and cloisters that are designed to accentuate a person’s experience with the rain, wind and giant trees that animate the heart of the forest.

The Japanese have the term shinrin yoku, or forest bathing, that describes the benefits of spending time in the forest to a person’s well-being.

What’s next? We have been asked to redesign the interior of a historic yacht and have been returning to our roots as sculptors to design and build pieces with architectural clients.

Yet, what remains constant is our focus on lighting design. In May, we’ll release a new collection of lights and chandeliers.

As the creative director of Fine Design Group and host of the CreativeMornings breakfast lecture series, Tsilli Pines is privy to nearly every artistic endeavor in Portland. Through these outlets she has connected the community with creative leaders at Guerrilla Development, Nike, the Wieden+Kennedy agency and many more. As if that’s not enough, her legacy will undoubtedly be in Design Week Portland—a series of interactive lectures, workshops, dinners and parties taking place from April 15-23 that connect like-minded visionaries in architecture, art, fashion, film and more. Here, Pines takes us on a tour of the best eats and shops in downtown Portland—an area she says “has gotten a lot more interesting lately.” designweekportland.com 9 a.m. Start the day at Behind the Museum Café at the Portland Art Museum—the matcha latte is amazing. Next door, step into home goods store Canoe, which features well-designed objects from around the world—like scissors from Japan, and a mortar and pestle from the United Kingdom. It’s a gorgeous collection.

10 a.m. Make your way into the Portland Art Museum. The recent “Corita Kent: Spiritual Pop” exhibit was wonderful, and there’s a great John Yeon exhibit planned for the spring.

12 p.m. You have your choice of food carts on Southwest Alder and Ninth streets. Nong’s Khao Man Gai is a go-to. Then, walk

over to Director Park—a great spot to eat and watch people playing a giant game of chess.

1 p.m. Heading north on 10th Avenue, hit Woonwinkel, Radish Underground, Tender Loving Empire and Wildfang. If you happen to be in town when Wildfang is doing a free speech event, it’s not to be missed.

2 p.m. Pop into the Ace Hotel.

I love to check out its black-andwhite photo booth. Then, grab a pick-me-up at Stumptown Coffee Roasters and sit on the couch with a newspaper while you are waiting for the photos to develop. Crossing the street, walk through Union Way and grab some treats from Quin.

3 p.m. Next, visit Powell’s Books.

Allow for plenty of time to browse the four floors. The Pearl Room houses the art and design books.

5 p.m. Across from Powell’s is MadeHere PDX, a gallery featuring well-made local goods. The team there is always introducing new pieces from up-and-coming talent in the area, so I see something new every time I visit.

6 p.m. You have your pick of wonderful places for dinner in this area. Opt for the Nostrana salad and a pizza at Oven and Shaker, head downtown to Little Bird for a perfect coq au vin, or head east to Ava Gene’s for some gorgeous vegetables and pasta. There are so many options!

Medium: Gloss on aluminum. Trademark: Delicate while maintaining a distinct contemporary feel. Women’s intuition: To capture the female form in vulnerable and intimate moments. Sources of inspiration: Usually from an image I find or a photo I’ve taken. Over the last few years, my process is generally sparked by a person or people around me and something about them I want to capture. Art school confidential: I grew up in a creative household, so after receiving my degree in history, I returned to art school because it felt natural and right. Role models: Ellsworth Kelly, John Baldessari, Tom Wesselmann, William Eggleston and Annelies Strba. Life motto: Don’t 4 panic. My art is… Vivid, figurative, simple, seductive and graphic.

KATE LONG STEVENSON: IN HER WORDS

8

Medium: Acrylic, gouache and watercolor—layered with charcoal.

Trademark: Abstract Expressionist, representational and feminine.

Women’s intuition: The female form is universally relatable and beautiful, and I love to take that familiarity and turn it on its head.

Art game changer: Decidedly the biggest shift in my career was the decision to create for myself and not the market; it’s refreshing to produce work that I am passionate about. Creative influences: Painterly work—from Impressionism to John Singer Sargent’s brushstrokes and glowing color—and Abstract Expressionists like Joan Mitchell and Willem de Kooning. Never too many… Laughs, long conversations, lunch dates or snoozebutton hits. My art is… Gestural, energetic and mysterious.

CURVE APPEAL CAROLINE WALLS: IN HER WORDS

6

Medium: Both oil and synthetic polymer paint, along with charcoal and graphite. Trademark: Figurative—I tend to drift between abstract works, breaking down the line and form of a figure, and representational pieces. Women’s intuition: I deeply appreciate the aesthetics of the female form, its curves and sensuality, but I’m also interested in what lies beneath the surface, as the unseen aspects of a person are so easy to overlook. Art school confidential: I have always had a keen interest in the arts, so after five years of working abroad as a designer and art director, I finally returned to Melbourne, Australia, and enrolled in a postgraduate visual arts program.

Creative influences: Marlene Dumas, Elizabeth Peyton, Louise Bourgeois—all women who work figuratively and with the female form. My art is… Spontaneous, fluid, sensual, free and evocative.

Medium: Acrylic paint on canvas. Trademark: Mythopoetic and magical while forming a unique visual reality. Women’s intuition: Approaching portraiture in a fresh way, I want my female subject to have color and flavor and evoke an otherworldly dimension of pure mystery. Art school confidential: After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design, I moved to New York City and the exposure to the art world and museums ultimately stimulated my desire to be a painter. Creative influences: Nature, light, color, meditation, Japanese aesthetics, tantric painting, and poetry by Han-Shan and Pablo Neruda. Dream collaborations: Traktung Yeshe Dorje and the band Just a Tourist. Role models: Sarah Sze, Nick Cave, Yayoi Kusama, Kara Walker and Kerry James Marshall. Life motto: Unlearn.

CONCRETE JUNGLE A TOUCH OF GREENERY ACCENTUATES AN IMPRESSIVE DISPLAY OF SIDE TABLES, CEMENTING THEIR STATUS AS CHIC ADDITIONS TO ANY URBAN DWELLING. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY KATE BERGERON PHOTOGRAPHY BY KATE BENSON

SUSAN COLLINS WEIR

INTERIOR DESIGNER STUDIOCOLLINSWEIR.COM

The Parker nesting tables… Play with motifs from various eras. It’s clear from the tables’ neoclassical and early-19th-century influences that Showers cleverly drew her inspiration from traditional, triedand-true European design that somehow feels extremely fresh. Composition: The decorative aspect of the design is a strong counterpoint to the minimal urban backdrop, while the decadent bronze complements the magnolia leaves, adding warmth to the concrete. On keeping it real: Authentic and original design is vital to the work of designers. It drives the profession forward and underpins our collective advances, challenging us to reinvent the norms and push art and design forward. I’m impressed with Showers’… Innate ability to mix and revamp decorative styles, and her line with Kravet exemplifies her knack for bringing this cross section of furniture genres to one of the industry’s top design powerhouses.

Creatively speaking: Good proportions and strong materiality are what I look for in an accent table, and these nesting tables epitomize both.

BRONZE BEAUTY THE PIECE: Parker Nesting Tables THE DESIGNER: Jan Showers FIND IT: kravet.com THE INSPIRATION: Inspired by her antique and vintage finds while traveling through Paris, Dallas design dame Jan Showers collaborated with Kravet to create a collection of glamorous yet practical pieces that add a stately-meets-subtle warmth to any setting. Showersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fondness for vintage brass and bronze, as well as good cable jewelry design, was the catalyst for the Parker nesting tables, which perfectly capture the designerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penchant for all things Parisian.

TINY WONDER THE PIECE: Pedestal THE DESIGNERS: Vera Kleppe and Åshild Kyte FIND IT: esaila.com THE INSPIRATION: Stirred by a perennial curiosity to explore fresh materials and unexpected design forms, Norway-based design studio Vera & Kyte continually pushes the envelope with its sleek and electrifying creations. Pedestal holds true to those aesthetic ideals, making this versatile side table a perfect—and dynamic—addition to any home.

JEREMIAH BRENT INTERIOR DESIGNER JEREMIAHBRENT.COM

Vera & Kyte’s designs… Feel so easy and chic.

What a unique pairing of form and function throughout this piece while maintaining total simplicity; nothing is over-designed, and yet it still feels like high design. Material connection: I love how the marble and perforated steel almost seem at odds, yet they are so harmonious together. Having lived in New York City…

I am connected to this composition instantly.

There is nothing like partaking in daily life (which can be real and messy and beautiful all at the same time) in a place like New York to truly understand the concept of a “concrete jungle,” and this composition reflects that experience perfectly. Visual play: Pedestal’s luscious curves cast against the sharp corners of the concrete highlight Vera & Kyte’s piece in a distinctly effortless and luxurious way.

Creatively speaking: This table is a gorgeous compilation of so many periods of design and a true jack-of-all-trades: It’s as edgy as it is sophisticated and would work perfectly in just about any space.

I’m enamored by… Sean O’Hara’s masterful use of natural materials. The intricacy and sheer geometry it took to perfectly configure each piece into the finished product is incredible. This attention to detail and artistry elevates the design to an utmost standard of luxury. Material connection: These accent tables encompass multiple senses, providing not only sight and touch but also conjuring the sense of smell with their natural wooden qualities.

A statement piece… Like this one can stand proud on its own accord without the need for additional attendees. Let’s be honest, no one wants a room full of items that compete. There is beauty in the ability to cultivate and curate our surroundings. Design is cyclical… Ever-evolving and ever-changing. We have to be cognizant of the pulse that inspires us to reinvent and keep design current. Creatively speaking: This design reminds me to find playfulness in refinement and that whimsy and sophistication are a beautiful blend.

Assembled with layers of imbricated solid-wood plates and shown here in both the Grey Sienna and Espresso finishes, the Spruce occasional tables remind us that bucolicinspired designs are indeed evergreen.

The Italia Terrazzo Stone Inlaid table illustrates her aesthetic ideal, which Hable realized by mixing patterns to add dimension to each piece within the collection.

Mission accomplished.

TODD NICKEY + AMY KEHOE INTERIOR DESIGNERS NICKEYKEHOE.COM

Susan Hable’s designs… Seem rooted in nature, and we love her ability to create modern compositions with her subject matter.

Her collections with Maitland-Smith bring out the company’s whimsical side in an earthy and delightful way. Composition: The understated nods to an urban garden evoke, for us, a South American midcentury mood. Material connection: With its many iterations, terrazzo often gets overlooked in certain applications, as it’s often used in large commercial spaces. We love that this particular use of the stone blend appears to read as foliage and has a transporting quality.

There’s a reference to precious stones with this moody color palette that feels extremely luxurious as well. On keeping it real: In today’s crowded marketplace, we gravitate toward pieces with an emotional charge more than ever.

The artistic intentions in Susan’s designs do not go unnoticed here with this dynamic piece.

BELLA MANCINI

INTERIOR DESIGNER BELLAMANCINIDESIGN.COM

I find Darryl Carter’s work to be eternally inspiring: He is able to convey a sense of serenity with his nuanced neutral palette and minimalistic collections of sculptural furniture. Material connection: There is a subtle tension between the industrial feeling of the powder-coated metal base and the elegant marble top. Creatively speaking: I’m especially drawn to the asymmetry of the bases and how their restrained luster allows for the angles to pop. I’d love to flank a sofa with a pair and position them askew to bring visual interest to an elevation. The industrial quality… Of the metal and the dynamic twist in the base remind me of artist John Chamberlain’s sculptures made of crushed automotive metal. They both share a sort of “machine age” elegance. On keeping it real: In a very dense world of design, it’s imperative to have a narrative and remain authentic to your aesthetic and values. Carter’s collection with Milling Road is a perfect example of just that.

Inspired by a faceted bracelet, the accent table reads as a symbol of true luxury, resplendent and modern all at once.

With its silky gold bullion finish, the piece, dare we say, shines bright like a diamond.

SUMMER THORNTON

INTERIOR DESIGNER SUMMERTHORNTONDESIGN.COM

Caracole’s dazzling accent table… Reminds me of a cut-jewel ring. Those sharp angular cuts and that grandiose yet practical shape catch your eye the way a fine piece of jewelry might. Composition: I am all about contrast when designing a space, and the pairing of the industrial environment with an as-polishedas-they-come piece feels luxurious, personal and even a little edgy. Finishes are the key…

To a really gorgeous design. Oftentimes, gold and brass, albeit classics, just aren’t polished enough for me, but a gold bullion finish brings an incomparable sheen—it’s practically a gold mirror finish, which I find sexy and dramatic.

Creatively speaking: Much of my work is grounded in traditional lines and architecture, so I’m always on the hunt for pieces that provide that necessary edge. The shape and allure of Caracole’s design fits the bill in that it’s fresh with just the right amount of flair.

ELDORADO STONE OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

When beginning the design or renovation of any outdoor living area, Brent Spann, president of Eldorado Stone, advises clients to “think about how you live and what you enjoy doing—be it reading, hosting, family time—and plan the space for that use.” He continues, “Ultimately it should fit the homeowner’s lifestyle and within the scale of the space ... with ample seating, a fire feature, shade and a kitchen, of course.” While many design trends come and go, the focus on indoor-outdoor spaces remains with an emphasis on creating a cohesive look for a seamless transition from the inside out. Conversation and living spaces with fire as a central point continue in popularity, as well as the extension of “smart-home” technology to outdoor living spaces. To accommodate today’s vast variety of outdoor options, Eldorado Stone offers an extensive outdoor product lineup, ranging from elegant fire bowls to inviting seating walls and beautiful outdoor kitchens, that transforms any personal retreat through color and texture. “We seamlessly marry design with functionality, making it easier than ever to create a memorable space,” Spann says.

Q+A What is inspiring you now?

Year-round use of the outdoor space, even outside of the Sun Belt. Creative use of the space and amenities beyond going outside to grill a steak. Also, creating secondary living spaces for smaller areas in your outdoor space, like in a side yard or balcony.

What are some design elements/innovations in outdoor living that you’re excited about?

Outdoor-rated fabrics, furniture and appliances that look like they would belong in your indoor space. Not your grandmother’s plastic-covered lounge chair.

What makes your product/brand distinctive in terms of material selection, product quality and functionality?

Our fire bowls bring a heightened level of design and elegance to any outdoor space and come in a variety of styles, from classic to modern. Made from strong, glass fiberreinforced concrete and hand-sanded through a four-step finishing process, each fire bowl renders a true one-of-a-kind creation with subtle variations in color and texture, similar to natural limestone.

FLEETWOOD WINDOWS & DOORS OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

An integral component of every home design, windows and doors go beyond changing one’s view. They impact security, energy efficiency and the resale value of your home. So when choosing the right doors and windows, homeowners must consider myriad decisions; everything from material selection and insulation to ease of use and maintenance. And for a seamless transition from the inside to the outside, “your window and door products must blend with the architectural intentions of the home,” says Mark McCoy, General Manager of Fleetwood Windows & Doors.

To take the most advantage of the views, more and more homeowners are seeking larger expanses of glass for their multi-sliding and pocket doors, such as operable doors with leak-proof flush tracks that house glass larger than 60 square feet. “The insulated glass industry is introducing new technologies making larger glass available,” McCoy says. “And we are rising to the occasion, designing new and innovative products to accommodate this advancement with great success.”

“We create large, modern-style windows and doors that operate smoothly, require little maintenance and last for decades.”

THE MATERIAL OF CHOICE ALUMINUM Aluminum has become the material of choice for windows and doors because of its inherent strength, beauty and versatility.

Since 1961, Fleetwood Windows & Doors has been using this fantastic resource to create its enduring windows and doors. As the most green and sustainable window material, aluminum is in high demand in luxury modern home designs across the country.

To meet this demand along with the growing movement in green design, Fleetwood has applied thermal technology to its shapes to improve energy efficiency. Additionally, as insulated glass becomes available in larger sizes, the company continues to innovate with new aluminum products to accommodate today’s changing market.

HUBBARDTON FORGE OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

Lighting designer and manufacturer Hubbardton Forge has helped extend interior residential spaces seamlessly to the outdoors with its equally aesthetic and functional light fixtures. “Today, we think about the ‘home’ differently. It doesn’t end at the back door,” says David Kitts, design director at Hubbardton Forge. “People want to live fully, both indoors and out. We have given a lot of thought, during the creative process, to materials and finishes that stand the test of time and weather.” This vigorous approach distinguishes the company, which has, despite its success, maintained its handcrafted, domestically made values. Founded (and still based) in Vermont, Hubbardton Forge makes sure that, as Kitts notes, “Any piece leaving the forge is touched by multiple hands throughout the process of its creation. When you look at a Hubbardton Forge lighting fixture, you’re seeing the artistic achievements of a team dedicated to design.”

WESTERN WINDOW SYSTEMS OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK

The popularity of outdoor living continues to surge at a record pace with consumers prioritizing these spaces as critical to a home’s overall look, feel and design. One trend growing in popularity is 90-degree multi-slide doors which, according to Scott Gates, president and CEO of Western Window Systems, “enable consumers to utilize moving glass walls to open up two walls of their home and flow the kitchen and living room to the outside.” Sustainability is also key, and an essential part of the design process at Western Window Systems. “Outdoor living is enabling consumers to leave a smaller carbon footprint,” Gates continues. “By making their outdoor patio a true feature and living space of the home, consumers are now able to build smaller, smarter homes. We believe everyone deserves the ability to open up their home on a beautiful day to entertain guests, laugh around the fire pit and enjoy a beverage.”

“We create products that are taller, wider and with more glass than anyone else in the industry. ”

Designed with contemporary styling, oversize seating and sleek angular lines, the diverse collection complements any home or owner’s lifestyle.

A ROOM WITH A HUE RICH PALETTES AND DRAMATIC CONTRASTS BRING ENERGY, PERSONALITY AND MAJOR STYLE TO THE HOME’S MOST-FREQUENTED ROOMS. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY MICHELLE BRUNNER

While it’s safe to say we are still living in the era of the all-white kitchen and bath, there’s no denying even the smallest flourish of color can cast an irresistible spell. After all, 90 percent of what we take in via our senses comes to us through the gift of sight, and there’s little that commands our vision more than bright, beautiful color. No wonder a palette change has the power to reinvigorate a tired cook space or bring spa-like serenity to a bath. A color refresh offers a fearless antidote to what are often neutral utilitarian spaces, and who knows that better than designers? For some it’s a minor dalliance—the oft-quoted “pop of color” comes to mind—while for others, it’s a full-blown affair with a particular shade, as in this stunning forest green kitchen. Whatever your style, join us as we make the case for painting with bold strokes.

GREEN SCENE

DEVOL KITCHENS This British company is leading the way in kitchen design, offering a fresh take on traditional English style. For this particular project, designer Helen Robson employed unexpected color to create depth and drama. devolkitchens.co.uk

How do you usually bring personality into the kitchen? While open shelves are practical, they also allow the client to display a bit of character, whether it’s through a collection of bowls or, in this case, lots of old paintings. A kitchen is so much more than a utilitarian space and having an area to display something personal helps to create a warm, welcoming feel.

What’s your favorite thing about this design? I love that this kitchen is actually a really simple design of four bespoke cabinets. Simplicity is key in carrying off such a daring color choice. Of course, I also absolutely love the room’s originality and how it’s totally infused with the personality of the client. It never felt like she was trying to copy a look, but to devise something that was completely her own.

PHOTO: COURTESY DEVOL KITCHENS.

Share your vision for this project. Our client’s father was an antiques collector; so, we wanted to create something that really reflected that old gentleman’s club look. Dark colors are very of the moment, particularly green. In addition to being on trend, green also evokes nature. Part of the reason it works so well in this kitchen is that it ties the whole space together and brings about a cozy feel in an otherwise cavernous space.

WALL

The ever-popular color blocking trend isn’t confi ned to the runway. For this Laurel Canyon, California, kitchen, architect Barbara Bestor used a wall of dark blue and walnut cabinetry to anchor a predominantly white space. “The not-quite navy is a classic color, but here it feels modern,” says Bestor. Carrying the walnut through to the island and incorporating handmade ceramic lights by Heather Levine help balance the angular lines with more organic elements. The result: a cook space that’s sleek without sacrificing warmth. bestorarchitecture.com

When a stove is the star attraction, the supporting players need to stay relatively neutral, as in this family kitchen from Sarah Richardson Design.

“The client requested the La Cornue range, so we decided to go bold with the color and mix metals for interest,” says designer Natalie Hodgins, who, along with Kate Stuart, helmed the project for the firm. Keeping the fixed elements, such as the soft gray millwork and honed marble countertops, quiet allows the bright blue stove and hood to steal the show. sarahrichardsondesign.com

PATTERN MAKER

Whether used in a backsplash or underfoot, tile is a sure way to dial up the pizzazz in the kitchen. Proving that even the classics can benefi t from a revamp, both subway and hexagonal styles feel exciting when rendered in new colors and finishes, as demonstrated in the above offering from Clé. The company’s latest hex collection features subtle color blocking in blush and coral shades and can be rotated numerous ways to produce different, graphic designs. cletile.com

Artisan Tracy Glover uses traditional Italian techniques to craft exuberant, one-of-a-kind handblown glass lights in a multitude of shapes, patterns and colors. The Enoki pendant (shown here in plum with an oil-rubbed bronze fi nish) is just one example of Glover’s commitment to customization. tracygloverstudio.com

In this master bath, situated in a Victorian townhouse in the heart of Notting Hill, London, a Spey castiron tub from Drummonds provides the perfect canvas for color. Brass fixtures were left unlacquered and unpolished to allow them to age naturally and acquire a rich patina and golden color. On the wall behind the tub is a vintage Art Deco screen, sourced from France.

Soft hues make spaces feel serene, so it’s no wonder muted tones are a perennial choice for the bath. A far cry from the retro bubblegum pink lavatories of yesteryear, today’s pastels pack their biggest punch when used sparingly. Here, a colorful roll-top cast-iron soaker picks up a pale coral from the whimsical patchwork tile floor.

Shades of salmon, cream, cobalt and olive blend to form a space that doesn’t so much jolt you awake as ease you gracefully into the day. For more clever ways to bring color into the bath, turn the page. drummonds-uk.com

To give a rather austere London town house a youthful edge, New York City- and London-based designer Rebekah Caudwell cranked up the color by bringing in Jonathan Adler aquamarine velvet sofas and a red cabinet from Sabina Danenberg Atelier; the curtains are Pierre Frey’s Mauritius linen.

“I wanted the look to be joyous and energetic—more Palm Springs than bookish Bloomsbury,” she says.

AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE LATEST TIPS, TRICKS AND TRENDS TO BRIGHTEN UP YOUR HOME. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER

TECHNICOLOR VISION With the arrival of spring comes a riot of color.

Consider the brilliant yellow of daffodils or the bluish-purple of hyacinths bursting forth from the ground. But why should Mother Nature have all the fun? This period of rebirth and renewal is the perfect time to rethink color inside the home. For the last few seasons, white walls have dominated the design space, but tastemakers are now slowly turning to saturated hues and bold brights that command attention, as in the vibrant and cheery sitting room shown here. “Your home affects your mood, so why not make it a happy place?” says the room’s designer, Rebekah Caudwell. Over the next few pages, come along with us for a lively romp through the many colors on the spectrum.

HAUTE HUE

There’s a reason fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli’s signature shade was “shocking pink.” The fearless style maverick believed the vivid color had life-giving properties. No wonder designer Amanda Nisbet chose a similar fuchsia for the dining room of this Park Avenue apartment in New York. “The saturated pink silk walls are luxuriously sexy, while still being cozy and welcoming—the perfect atmosphere for a successful evening,” she says. amandanisbetdesign.com

PRETTY IN

Shaking off its girly connotation, blush has emerged in the last year as an unconventional yet versatile neutral. Here, it lends a merengue-like quality to a plush, velvet club chair. With its channel-back design, the Charlotte armchair by India Mahdavi is strikingly sculptural and elegant. It’s proof that this particular shade of pink is all grown-up now. ralphpucci.net

THE REAL

Just like a good book can be an escape from reality, a library should be a haven from the outside world. For this Greenwich Village apartment, New York-based design firm Tilton Fenwick blanketed the library walls in a rich teal lacquer, a color inspired by the classic Schumacher print in which the sofa is upholstered. “Since the room has no windows, the lacquer envelops the space, creating a jewel box effect,” says the firm’s founder Anne Maxwell Foster.

We can’t think of a more stimulating environment in which to while away a few hours. tiltonfenwick.com

Blue continues its reign as a cabinet color of choice in the kitchen, but judging from this dining space, its popularity is spreading to other parts of the house.

The result: a functional entertaining hub that’s also a stunning focal point for dinner guests. grantkgibson.com

For this luxury apartment on the Rue Bonaparte in Paris, designer Gérard Faivre looked to the building’s Second Empire pedigree for inspiration.

“Emblematic colors from that era—oranges, greens, blues and shades of gold—symbolized wealth and luxury, and now bring sparkle to the home,” he says. With its friendly, convivial atmosphere and bistro table and chairs, the space also pays homage to the chic cafes of its neighborhood, Saint Germain-des-Prés. gerardfaivreparis.com

Austin-based designer Elizabeth Mollen of Stone Textile found inspiration for this living room in an unusual source: her client’s collection of midcentury flamingo prints. “We picked a deep-blue wall color and used that as a starting point, then pulled colors from the artwork,” says Mollen. A violet rug, pale lavender upholstered sofas and a green malachite stool add to the color story, creating a subtle and sophisticated jewel-toned palette that’s definitely not for the birds. stonetextilestudio.com

RENOVATION Renovation means transformation. Whether changing the foundation or improving your home’s flow, increasing the function of a kitchen and bath, or upgrading windows for energy savings, communication is key to any project’s success. While aesthetics plays a starring role when it comes to reasons to renovate, increasing the value and character of one’s home have found an even greater level of importance. Giving rise to the world of renovations is the great outdoors, where decks, rooftops, hardscapes and more have found a new home, so to speak. When taking on any project, industry pros remain committed to incorporating “green” alternatives—creating a healthier world and home, inside and out.

Making the most of interior spaces, whether that means saving space or using a grand area to its fullest potential, is often a goal of renovation. Thus, Closet Factory of Portland and Wall Beds of Oregon— partner companies specializing in organizational pursuits—have been flush with business since the moment they opened their doors. “A beautiful, functional closet has become a necessity in the home,” says Mark Zaugra, the owner of both companies. “Remember how people would give tours of their new kitchen to their friends? Now you find those same people also showing off their new closet installation.”

Offering professional advice from staff and designers, as well as a vast selection of products, materials and services, Closet Factory of Portland and Wall Beds of Oregon enable homeowners to achieve a space worthy of boasting.

1. Debra Dixon, a Closet Factory Senior Designer, helped the clients create an updated, modern closet that complements the finishes in the adjacent bathroom. The final product organizes their hanging items and shoes, includes ample storage for their hat collection and hides suitcases until needed. 2. To create visual interest, a darker tone was used for the toe stops and the dresser’s top and backing. It contrasts with the textured melamine.

Glass doors and lighting lend a softer feel.

According to Zaugra, custom-tailored spaces complement today’s high-end homes. From a custom-designed, mudroom-style bench to an office designed with the individual’s workflow and well-being in mind, bespoke environments are highly valued. “Personalization is the name of the game,” Zaugra says. “Our first step is to create a design that addresses the client’s storage and organizational needs, as well as their desired aesthetic for the space.”

GELOTTE HOMMAS ARCHITECTURE Bellevue | Washington | 425.828.3081 | gelottehommas.com

Gelotte Hommas Architecture, led by Curtis Gelotte, Scott Hommas and Eric Drivdahl, is known for the design of stunning new homes and remarkable renovations. Resulting in many of the most wellreceived designs, renovation projects hold a special place in the firm’s work. Gelotte remarks that typical renovation projects spring from a significant life change and the need to modify or update a home to better fit with a client’s lifestyle. As for stylistic trends, Hommas observes that Pacific Northwest contemporary is a favorite in the Seattle area, but adds that facilitating a client’s vision is more influential to the Gelotte Hommas team than current trends. He clarifies, “We work tirelessly to provide great design, because no matter the style, it will always endure.” Drivdahl adds, “A renovation is the perfect opportunity to create healthier, more efficient and sustainable environments, using high-quality materials and systems to promote future well-being.”

TECHNIQUES + INNOVATION Finding Flow “Many existing homes have a series of small and inefficient spaces, which fail to accommodate the way families live today,” Gelotte says. “Improving flow, openness and connectedness within the home and to the outdoors is a guiding principle in every renovation effort.”

Spotlight on Solar “We are excited about new technologies, such as Tesla’s solar roofing and battery system for residential use,” Hommas enthuses, when speaking of innovations the team is eager to consider.

“This is the Art of Architecture.”

Individual Approach “Each home is unique, just like the people who inhabit it,” Drivdahl says. “A successful renovation brings real value, both to the home and the owners, whose personalities and tastes the design should express.”

From hardwood and laminate to natural stone, the company carries an impressive selection and enables clients to collaborate with its highly trained, inhouse professionals. Asked to elaborate on the areas of the home that are most often a project’s focus, he points to kitchens and bathrooms. “Homeowners today are asking for whole-home renovations, as well as kitchen and bathroom remodels, which include all surfaces,” he says. While hardwood and tile floor coverings have long been staples in the high-end home, Chadderdon notes an uptick in the use of luxury vinyl plank and floating vinyl.

“Challenges will arise, and schedules can change. It is important that everyone understands this.”

OLD WORLD DOOR San Ysidro | California | 661.588.7700 | oldworlddoor.com

Seen upon arrival and as one drives away, the exterior façade of a home plays a key role in the impression it leaves, on guests and the homeowners themselves. Thus, the front door makes for an excellent investment and renovation focus. At Old World Door, the importance of this structural element is well understood. “The biggest bang for your buck is the front door,” says principal Steve Gardner, who partners with John Gardner to run the firm. “It is all about curb appeal, and the front door will set the tone for your home.” Specializing in custom designs, Old World Door fits each product to its project, considering size, shape, panels, molding, wood and distressing. Commenting on trends in his field, John points to contemporary styles as popular, but notes an interest in using hidden hinges, hidden jambs, colors and distressing that aren’t typical in contemporary settings.

RENOVATING THE RESIDENTIAL GATEWAY An enduring classic. “Wood materials are always enduring,” Steve says. “Putting a classic door on a pivot hinge is a popular trend today, although I question how long it will last.”

Key advice. “You will have a pile of decisions to make,” John says.

“Create a list, and take them one at a time. Review all the details for a single issue, then set it aside for a day. When you go back to it, the right choice will jump out at you.” Uncommon inspiration. “Every time a new The Lord of the Rings movie was released, we would get requests for round doors,” Steve says. “We did drawings, but never actually made or sold one.”

ECO-FRIENDLY PURSUIT Today, Old World Door sources all of its wood materials from sustainable yield suppliers. “We have responded to our clients’ evolving concerns over the last 10 years,” Steve says. “Now, it is a part of our daily practice.”

“We don’t sell doors.

We sell vertical furniture.”

THE PRG GROUP Big Sky | Montana | 406.530.1709 | theprggroup.com

Specializing in home building and remodeling, The PRG Group comprises expert individuals with a wealth of renovation knowledge. Led by Jamy Patterson, Damon Rao and Daniel Gibbons, the company has become particularly familiar with what Patterson calls, “interior refreshments.” In collaboration with design professionals, the PRG team helps homeowners to change the interior style and feel of their home without significantly altering the exterior. “We make the home more comfortable and contemporary while increasing value,” Rao says. On the subject of trending renovation projects, Gibbons says, “We see a nearly equal amount of additions, interior refreshments and exterior landscape/hardscape projects. Much of our work combines all three. In our area, this adds significant value to a home and therefore makes the cost a good investment for the owner.”

“Color palettes have shifted significantly toward neutrals, and detailing has become cleaner and more streamlined.”

THE RENOVATION LOWDOWN Small change, big impact.

“Anything that requires modification to mechanical, electrical or plumbing systems will have a significant impact on the life of the homeowner,” Patterson says. Take note. Rao advises homeowners to consider relocating temporarily, saying, “Allowing the work to go on uninterrupted will usually cover the cost of the temporary accommodations and make the project faster.”

“Geothermal systems have found great success in our area,” Gibbons explains. “We build in the mountains of Montana, where heating is traditionally done with propane. With geothermal, the payback is short and the environmental impact significant.

We also use a lot of recycled wood materials, which is beautifully, environmentally positive.”

In the Pacific Northwest, homeowners long to connect to the natural world and the architecture of the region. According to Rick Locke, president of Windows, Doors & More, this is often achieved through materials that reflect the surrounding environmental and structural elements. And the emphasis on the outdoors doesn’t end there. Locke notes his team is frequently called upon to aid in the creation of living spaces that blur the line between the interior and exterior. Explaining the value of door and window updates, Locke says, “Creating special spaces with windows and doors is a highly effective, yet often overlooked renovation project. Whether a convertible indoor-outdoor room or interior sliding barn doors that combine drama and flair, your door and window selection can add interest with unique design intricacies and unexpected materials.”

MATERIAL INNOVATIONS “We are excited about new metal finishes and coatings for door and window frames,” Locke says. “Metallic and bronze coatings added to the frame are alluring and stand out as a statement piece within the façade. Highlight your home’s color palette with these windows and doors.”

P

retty much everyone has heard the old adage “Good things come to those who wait.” But few would argue that in our high-tech, gottahave-it-now world, patience is a diminishing virtue. To hear the story of a Seattle family who took their time determining the style of home they wanted to build on property that had been in their family for generations is downright refreshing. “The owners and their four children lived in an existing circa-1930s bungalow for nearly a decade while deciding what direction they wanted to go,” says their designer, Julie Massucco Kleiner.

They did make good use of their time, though, Kleiner points out, because they put together an impressive pre-Pinterest inspiration binder that serendipitously included clippings of rooms she had designed.

Working with architects Peter Conard and Suzanne Findley, the family eventually decided on a Shingle-style home (builder Tony Giaquinta and landscape architect Randy Allwoth rounded out the team). “They wanted a

LX_PNW34_HOM_Massucco_16_.indd 270

home that looked like it had been there for many years with additions made over time but suitable for modern living,” says Findley. In conjunction with Conard, who passed away after the project was completed, Findley imbued the structure with classic Shingle-style details such as a prominent main gable, painted wood columns and mullioned windows in varying shapes and sizes.

“It’s rich in detail and tradition, but it’s also designed for contemporary, active family life,” she says.

In the entry, for example, the paneled walls, crown moldings and gently curving staircase establish the requisite classical bones, while a separate informal entry features a place for coats and boots. The job of installing the array of custom elements fell to Giaquinta. “Getting everything right required a major coordination effort,” says the builder, pointing to the installation of the graceful main stair, which was built off-site before “our carpenters framed in the curve and then the traditional plaster subcontractor came in with their mesh and plaster finish coat.”

Kleiner had no trouble convincing all concerned that the elaborate woodwork needed to be high-gloss white.

“It created the perfect blank slate for the pomegranate red grass-cloth walls in the living room,” says the designer, citing an antique Oushak as the starting point for the home’s bold red, blue and green palette. “It was one of the first things the owners bought after they got married, so there was sentimental attachment.”

Other notable floor coverings serve as the introduction to the home—an animal print stair runner and a graphic acid green-and-blue rug—and the unexpected patterns tamp down any notion of stuffiness. Similarly in the living room, a sleek 1970s goatskin-veneer coffee table stands as a glam counterpoint to a velvet-dressed daybed and damask-upholstered armchairs. In the formal dining room, home of the Oushak and some stately family portraits, grass-cloth walls and navy leather chairs with traditional profiles tweaked just a bit for a modern edge keep it fresh.

Throughout the project, Kleiner was mindful of matching the high level of craftsmanship evident in the intricately carved marble fireplace surround and the reclaimed hardwood floors with soft goods of equal caliber. Saddlestitched sofa cushions, button tufting on the daybed and knotted embroidery on the draperies—“so beautifully detailed I could stare at them for hours,” she says—are among the thoughtful offsets.

In the husband’s study, the melding of a heavily textured rug with a clean-lined sofa and the juxtaposition of a shiny leather chair with suede on the ottoman prevent the room from being just another ho-hum space. “The contradiction of textures is definitely a signature of mine,” says Kleiner. She took that notion to another level in the wife’s office, combining lacquered blue cabinets with a tufted tangerine leather wall.

When it came to establishing the kitchen layout and getting the lighting just right, the team made three-dimensional models of every fixture and mocked up the kitchen cabinets

and island in plywood. “Attention to scale and detail is what made this house super successful,” says Kleiner about the team’s dedication.

That commitment extended to Allworth, as he honored the owners’ request for a somewhat rambunctious entry garden. “They gravitated toward the unbridled and wanted lots of hydrangeas and roses—nothing too manicured,” Allworth says. The landscape architect employed boxwoods and bluestone pavers to establish a sense of order. “It was important that the hardscape balance the informal softscape,” he adds.

In the end, it was the embrace of the need for balance by all team members that ensured a happy result. “We honored the historic style of the architecture, but it’s also a welcoming home where nothing is off-limits or precious,” says Kleiner.

“By keeping things fresh and young, we created a place that will grow and evolve with the owners over time.”

The owners worked with Heather James Fine Art in Palm Desert, California, to find a piece with the right texturing and layering they wanted for the location.

R

esidential designer Garret Werner is very clear about the foundations of good design.

“Repetition and balance are two of the keys to a successful house,” he says, stressing, however, that the repetition needs to be done in ways that are surprising and perceived almost subconsciously.

To those ideas he adds the importance of aligning visual elements, pulling furniture styles from one room to another and judiciously using color. “These are essential,” he says.

Werner brought those notions to bear recently, converting a basic midcentury box in Clyde Hill into a home graced with light-filled volumes and a Zen-meets-mod aesthetic.

Homeowners Valerie Wasserman and Scott Moore took their time before embarking on any renovations, living there for three years. “We wanted to get to know

the place,” Scott says. One thing was for certain, though: “We’ve always loved the view,” Valerie says. To preserve the spectacular vista stretching across Lake Washington, Werner determined that scraping off the existing house and starting anew would necessitate moving the residence down the site because of building codes. So instead, they decided to strip the place down to its bones and build a completely fresh structure on top of the existing walls and foundations.

View preserved, Werner set out to better connect the house to its surroundings, a critical element in all his work. Notably, he revamped the interior’s layout, allowing the master bedroom and other rooms to open to the vistas. The staircase also received an overhaul: Werner pushed out the mechanical room wall to align with the floor above to create a single volume and used glass

railings and open treads. Glass along the south and entry walls also helped, as did relocating the sport court and pool and adding a large covered outdoor seating area.

“All you see from the inside is a meticulously landscaped pool and yard area, with a nearly unobstructed view of Lake Washington and the Olympic Mountains and even Mount Rainier on a clear day,” he says.

To provide spatial definition and to draw visitors in, Werner placed two low concrete walls at the front of the house. Behind them, adjacent to the front door and on the site of a former storage shed, he created a calming Zen garden complete with Japanese maple and raked gravel. “Enjoying this little space has reawakened my meditation practice,” Scott says. The steel trellis enclosing it foreshadows the acid-stained steel framing inside that holds up the cedar-paneled ceilings in the rooms on the upper level. “The entry sequence creates a visual path of interest from the outside world right into the heart of the home,” Werner says.

At the heart of this home is an expansive living room featuring a wall of glass and low, wood-clad ceilings anchored by a fireplace mass covered in steel. It fits Valerie and Scott’s aesthetic to a T. “We love the spirit of midcentury modern,” says Scott. In that vein, furnishing the space are an Eames lounge chair and a Carl Hansen CH07 chair, both of which Scott purchased when he was living in Southern California. Valerie and Werner agreed, though, that they didn’t want the room to look like a showroom. To balance things out, Werner customdesigned a plusher pairing of a sofa and a chaise.

“We needed a strong piece that would complement our living room space while taking advantage of the sweeping views of Lake Washington,” Valerie says about the sofa. “Comfort is obviously also important, and the sensual curvature of the design works well in social settings when we entertain.” Chic, the sofa is covered in

In the original house, the kitchen was a long dark galley with very little natural light. Werner opened it up to both the view and the dining room, separating the space from the children’s study area and the breakfast nook with a bank of storage cabinets finished in the same dark color as the kitchen cabinetry and the steel support structure.

“There needs to be variety in any home, but there needs to be a consistent design to tie it all together,” he says.

That explains why he snuggled a Saarinen table and chairs

LX_PNW34_HOM_Wasserman_14.indd 295

up to the breakfast banquette—to help tie this space to the living and dining rooms. The yellow fabric on the banquette echoes the yellow in the cedar ceiling and the blue of the pillows is picked up from the nearby powder room. “This is the hangout zone for kids and adults,” says Werner. Brad Pitt also hangs out there, or at least a portrait of him by Chuck Close—a piece from the couple’s burgeoning art collection.

With Valerie and Scott’s enthusiasm for their residence and after Werner’s thoughtful intervention, personality now infuses the home. “The beauty of this project is how from the moment you enter the property, you are directed by the design and led by visual pathways—at each turn the eye experiences a focal point and a forced perspective,” Werner says. All it takes is a focus on the fundamentals.

PATTERN

Makers

FOR A PORTLAND DESIGN DUO, FANCIFUL WALLPAPERS AND TEXTILES ARE A NATURAL EXTENSION OF THEIR CREATIVE PRACTICE. WRITTEN BY LAURA MORGAN / PHOTOGRAPHY BY DINA AVILA

B

e it pink mushroom-covered wallpaper or fabric hand silk-screened with zigzagging red and blue trees, there’s a sense of joie de vivre in Mary Kysar and Topher Sinkinson’s eye-catching creations.

And why not? The multifaceted designers who run Makelike, a design collective, are the epitome of a happy partnership, probably because their creative vision is in such lockstep. When asked what unites them, they both exclaim, “Pattern!” And indeed their talent for cheery motifs is at the heart of their expanding business.

The Makelike story began in the 1990s, when Kysar hired Sinkinson as an intern at a Portland design firm. Later, they ended up as cubicle buddies while working in different departments at Nike and finally merged paths formally in 2000, founding Makelike.

The design side of their business, the “studio,” organically gave rise to the “shop.” “We were doing patterns for a lot of our branding jobs and had so many left over that clients didn’t approve,” explains Sinkinson. “A lot of the time we liked them better than what was chosen.” Voila! A witty wallpaper offshoot was born.

Portland (and parts nearby) provides the pair with a steady source of inspiration. “You can drive 30 minutes and feel like you’re in a forest. We can go mushroom hunting and skiing and hiking,” says Kysar.

Makelike’s Mary Kysar and Topher Sinkinson are shown below highlighting some of their playful, imaginative fabrics and wallcoverings, which also includes Drift (left). In addition to the colorways they create for their own wallcoverings (opposite and bottom), their think-small ethos allows them to produce custom colorways for clients as well.

“I REALLY LIKE THE IDEA THAT THERE ARE NO RULES. IF WE MAKE SOMETHING AND WE THINK IT’S GOING TO BE A GREAT ASSET TO OUR EXISTING COLLECTION, THEN IT LIVES.” –TOPHER SINKINSON

In Kysar and Sinkinson’s Portland studio (opposite, bottom), a set of drawers (opposite, top left) contains paper used to wrap their products for shipping and holds poster versions of a few of their designs. Sketches of ferns (left) became part of the pair’s Tangled wallcovering; while they use computers to fine-tune patterns, the intial process relies on more timeless tools including paintbrushes (bottom).

Kysar’s dog Fritz (below), a frequent visitor to the studio, perches on a chair.

Adds Sinkinson: “That definitely influences the work. Both of us find a lot of ideas away from our desks. Hiking and taking photos and bringing those back to create patterns is a big part of our process.”

While the Makelike footprint is growing, neither partner wants to see it get so big that they can’t stick to their hand-drawn ethos. “All the drawings, even though they eventually go into the computer for repeats, are all illustrated by hand,” explains Kysar, adding that they usually use India ink on hot-pressed watercolor paper. Similarly, Makelike’s wallpapers are screen-printed by hand, which Kysar says, “gives them a really nice quality—there’s some wonkiness that happens in the process that gives the papers a distinct characteristic,” noting ink density inconsistencies and the texture of the ink as it sits on the paper as examples.

But despite their tried-and-true methodologies, there’s nothing outmoded about Makelike’s business model. In April, the company will relocate to a Southeast Portland retail/studio space

LX_PNW34_SM_MakeLike.indd 303

(Sinkinson says the building resembles “an old Western saloon”). There, the pair will continue to stretch beyond their creative comfort zones: taking on custom work for clients (both private and commercial), repurposing ever more of their wallpaper patterns for fabric use, and maybe even pushing into furniture design. “I really like the idea that there are no rules,” says Sinkinson. “If we make something and we think it’s going to be a great asset to our existing collection, then it lives.”

Ultimately, for Kysar and Sinkinson, it’s not just about exercising their own artistic talents, but the resonance of the end results—the idea of inventing something that another person covets and wants to live with day in and day out. “When people choose to put one of our patterns in their homes, we are essentially providing the printed envelope that will contain countless dinner parties, gatherings, game nights, wine tastings, weddings, baby showers and so on—not to mention all the daily in-between,” says Kysar.

“It’s a powerful motivator.”

PEAK EXPERIENCE MODERN LINES AND WARM MATERIALS HARMONIZE A FAMILY HOME ON A WOODED HILLTOP LOT WITH STUNNING PANORAMIC VIEWS. WRITTEN BY TATE GUNNERSON / PHOTOGRAPHY BY AARON LEITZ

A

house of this size can be a little overwhelming,” designer David Lucas says about a 9,000square-foot residence situated on a nearly 1-acre lot at the pinnacle of Clyde Hill with unparalleled, almost 360-degree views of Seattle and Bellevue, Lake Washington and the Olympic Mountains. To lessen the impact, David Lucas, along with his sister and partner in the firm Suzie Lucas, dressed the modern structure with limestone, stucco and a metal product that resembles wood. “We used the materials to help break up the form of the house without making it feel too busy,” David Lucas says.

Besides humanizing the home’s scale, adding the materials fulfilled the clients’ request for “a warm, modern Pacific Northwest home designed for their family but with a contemporary edge,” says David Lucas—and bridged the couple’s somewhat divergent styles. “My husband has a modern aesthetic, and I’m more traditional, so we were trying to figure out how to balance that,” the wife says.

“We wanted the house to have clean lines but also be inviting and comfortable.”

_LX_PNW31_HOM_Lucas_12.indd 305

2/6/17 10:34 AM

The Lucases worked closely with their clients to adapt the design of architect Ben Mulder—raising doorway heights, adding windows to combat the gray winters and expanding room sizes to bring about both gravitas and functionality.

A covered outdoor dining area grew to accommodate an outdoor kitchen and pizza oven, and the open living room was stretched to accommodate a second seating area embraced by double-height bay windows. “We pushed and pulled things to create the experience that the clients were looking for,” David Lucas says. The result is proportions that are tailored and more elegant, because it was important to the clients that the architecture have a presence.

David Lucas bestowed further architectural presence when he modified the plans to expose a steel structural beam that runs through the main corridor—just one of many metal elements throughout. There is also a doubleheight wall of blackened-steel panels behind the open stairway in the bright skylight-lit foyer. “The clients were worried that the metal would feel cold, but it actually adds warmth,” Suzie Lucas says, pointing to the rich warm finish on the metal with a soft reflective quality that brings light and life into the space.

Threaded through the home too is intricate woodwork: coffered-oak ceilings with a concealed light trough in the main living areas, fumed-oak columns in the dining room and sycamore cabinetry in the master suite and the husband’s clubby office. “You don’t necessarily need high contrast in a space for it to be interesting,” Suzie Lucas says. “We were subtle with our material shifts,” as she points to the way the cabinetry, French limestone flooring and quartz countertops in the kitchen complement the silk rug and neutral upholstery in the adjoining living area.

Subtle, however, doesn’t mean boring. A custom mosaic backsplash behind the range adds a splash of color without overpowering the other materials in the kitchen, while a hand-finished plaster accent wall with a chunky linen texture by local artisan Cathy Conner makes a powerful statement in the dining area, which is furnished with a custom steel table with a bog-oak top. “We wanted the wall to be almost like a piece of art,” Suzie Lucas says.

“The way it reflects light gives it a life of its own.”

Husband-and-wife builders Adam and Julie Leland spent more than a year preparing for the project, poring over renderings before they ever put hammer to nail.

Custom Wood Interiors and Decorative Metal Arts fabricated the door of a Clyde Hill residence with interior architecture and design by siblings David Lucas and Suzie Lucas. French limestone from Exquisite Surfaces in Sun Valley, California, covers the floor in the entry that opens to the generous living areas.

A wood-and-leather bench from Bernhardt Design offers a place for respite at the foot of the stair in the entry. Husband-and-wife builders Adam and Julie Leland oversaw the installation of the Fire Works Forge-crafted metal wall and hand railings. The rustic copper pot is from Tirto Furniture; BMC supplied the millwork.

Cathy Conner of Studio C executed the plaster finish on a wall that serves as a textural backdrop in the dining area. Both the bog-oak-and-metal extension table by LUMA Design Workshop and the Ochre chandelier are from Trammell-Gagné; the leatherand-wood dining chairs are by Selva.

Underneath a wool-and-bamboo silk rug from Driscoll Robbins is custom flooring by Salisbury Woodworking.

“You almost had to build the house in your mind and then work backward from there,” Adam Leland says, noting that they employed laser levels to ensure that everything was positioned to the nth degree. “There’s nothing cookie-cutter about this home,” Julie Leland adds. “Every aspect was custom.”

The same level of care extended to the grounds by landscape architect Darwin Webb, whose process involved walking through the house to identify specific vistas that could be enhanced with evergreens, flowering plants and ornamental trees. “The house has many angled sections and also sits at an angle to all the property lines,” Webb says. “It was a challenge, but I think we accentuated the positive aspects of the site.” Between the main living area and bedroom wings, for example, he created a garden nook filled with ferns and decorative gravel. He also incorporated plantings to soften the sharp angles and emphasize key views, as in the case of a massing of structured evergreen plantings at the edge of the swimming pool that draws the eye toward the skyline beyond the water.

Although the task of building a new home is always daunting, the happy owners look back fondly on the experience and are ecstatic about the outcome. “Everything is calming and comfortable yet there’s a refinement to it,” says the wife. “It feels like a piece of art that we live in yet it’s still so accessible and comfortable. We’re so grateful to everyone who worked on this project.”

“BETWEEN OUR TWO LIVES THERE IS ALSO THE LIFE OF THE CHERRY BLOSSOM.” THIS STATEMENT MADE BY 17TH-CENTURY JAPANESE POET MATSUO BASH CONVEYS THE SYMBOLIC IMPORTANCE OF THE CHERRY BLOSSOM TREE, REFERRED TO AS SAKURA, TO THE PEOPLE OF HIS NATIVE COUNTRY. EACH YEAR, INDIVIDUALS GATHER THROUGHOUT THE WORLD TO WITNESS THESE TREES’ BRILLIANT YET EPHEMERAL BLOOMS, WHICH SERVE AS A REMINDER OF NATURE’S EXQUISITE, ALBEIT FLEETING, BEAUTY. IN HONOR OF SPRING’S RETURN, THE PIECES FOUND ON THIS PAGE CELEBRATE THESE PRECIOUS BUDS AS WELL AS THEIR EMBLEMATIC TIES TO THE CYCLE OF LIFE AND RENEWAL.
