EDITOR’S LETTER

Casa Luis Barragán in Mexico City, shown right and below, inspired this issue’s Spotlight feature with its contemporary aesthetic and global influence.

NO PLACE LIKE HOME There is much to debate/discuss/enthuse about architecture and design. Yet, of this I am emphatic: Good design has to be firmly rooted to a place. There are buildings and aesthetics that we couldn’t imagine anywhere else but from where they sprout.

We lean into a host of cultural influences in this issue of Luxe, with design narratives as varied and interesting as the decorative details that are expressed at the hands of the makers. So, take a spin through our pages and ‘round-the-world reporting. Then, always, return home, for it’s the best way to measure how far you’ve come.

Pamela Jaccarino VP, Editor in Chief @pamelajaccarino

Take the graphic elegance and saturated hues of contemporary Mexican architect Luis Barragán’s residence-turned-museum in Mexico City. Would this poetic home be as wondrous in Miami, in Los Angeles? I recently visited, and think not. Barragán’s spatial strategy and brilliant play of light and shadow elicit a sense of reverence and respect appropriate to its root. His masterful residence and studio were the inspiration for our Spotlight story inside.

Variety SHOP THREE STANDOUT COMPANIES CURATE GLOBAL DESIGN FINDS. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRITTANY CHEVALIER MCINTYRE

nternational furnishings and accessories have long been synonymous with elevated living—each piece’s highly crafted form and place of origin adding a dynamic layer. And whether it makes a grand statement as a room’s centerpiece or plays a supporting role as an accent, these global finds stand out as bold characters. Luxe explores three companies offering wares by both emerging and established artisans from around the world that were previously only available to the trade. Let the hunt begin!

Cool Factor: Before the existence of its three shops and online presence, Urban Zen was founded more than 20 years ago by Donna Karan as a philanthropic endeavor and center for change. During a trip to Bali, where she sourced and manufactured her original furnishing pieces (and continues to do so), she felt a true connection to the people and their craft. Traveling around the world since and working with artisans globally, Karan’s intention is to give back in a larger sense through health care initiatives, education and cultural preservation to the places she sources from. What you’ll find: Representing more than 45 artisans

in 20 different countries, Karan’s two shops in New York (Manhattan and Sag Harbor) and one in Los Angeles offer not only furnishings, accessories and clothing designed by the fashion guru herself and made by the artisans from countries across the world, but they also function as multidisciplinary spaces for seminars, meditation classes, events and other happenings that help to promote the philanthropic arm of Karan’s initiative. Up Next: A big proponent for helping the citizens of Haiti, Karan just collaborated with Kenneth Cole on an upcoming footwear project set to launch in July. In her words: “Urban Zen is about forming communities who want to help create change that is needed in the world.”

ADORNO Cool Factor: The brainchild of Martin Clausen and Kristian Snorre Andersen, Adorno is an online platform that empowers independent designers from 16 cities worldwide by featuring their unique or limited-edition pieces that have been carefully selected by local curators. Revamping the traditional collectible design market often dominated by physical galleries, Adorno works as a digital gallery with a simple and transparent price structure that benefits both the buyer and the designer by connecting them directly. What you’ll find: Inspired by the agriculture and fishing co-operatives in their native Denmark, where individuals prosper working as a unit, the Adorno platform enables autonomous collaborations between curators and designers from urban communities such as São Paulo, Istanbul, Amsterdam, Beirut and Berlin. Up Next: Believing design should be experienced in real life, the company is in its final stages of implementing 3D technology and high-quality imagery to create the “second” best way customers can inspect and try pieces in their home. In their words: “We hope to contribute to a creative society that celebrates diversity between cultures by providing designers with better opportunities to realize their own dreams and visions as creators.”

The Cocktail light by Hanna Anonen (left) and Not only hollow Cabinet by Dirk vander Kooij are both available through Adorno.

The Invisible Collection offers limited-edition pieces, like the Nomad Stools by Charles Zana, shown flanking the wall, and Chair Conversation by Vincent Darre (right).

Cool Factor: For the first time, exclusive pieces made by a number of the most esteemed names in the business, like Pierre Yovanovitch, Thierry Lemaire and Caroline Sarkozy, are available for purchase, and in most cases, exclusively on Isabelle Dubern-Mallevays and Anna Zaoui’s site, The Invisible Collection. Prior to the launch of the website in 2016, these pieces remained hidden and inaccessible, and one would have to commission these designers for a project to snag one of their sought-after pieces. What you’ll find: Initiated as an outlet to share the pair’s passion for design with a broader clientele, their highly-curated model offers access to furnishings and objets of the utmost quality all made to order by highly skilled creators and architects from around the world such as Bismut & Bismut, Charles Zana and Atelier Vime. Up Next: The details are still hush-hush, but the chic duo, who are based between Paris, London and New York, will bring The Invisible Collection to life in the Big Apple with a new exhibit this November for a second stateside visit since their premiere at Art Basel Miami in 2018. In their words: “It is very exciting to meet with a designer and discover their work, understand their approach, and then select the best pieces for the site. We always look at the work with a curatorial eye.”

Out of AFRICA SOUTHERN GUILD BRINGS DESIGN BEYOND THE BORDERS OF THE WORLD’S SECOND LARGEST CONTINENT.

Southern Guild recently showcased a Dokter and Misses collection, which included this limitededition Rat Trap cabinet made of hand-painted steel.

When Zizipho Poswa was growing up in the small South African town of Umtata, there were no art schools or creative role models. As a child, she made paper sculptures, doll clothes and drawings, but even after leaving her home to study art at university, becoming an internationally renowned artist seemed to be an unreachable dream. But then, after forming Imiso Ceramics with Andile Dyalvane, she met Trevyn and Julian McGowan of Southern Guild, and her horizons expanded beyond Africa. The McGowans started Southern Guild, Africa’s only gallery dedicated to limited-edition and collectible design and art, in 2008 to support design created in Trevyn’s home country. “We returned to South Africa after living in London for several years, and we noticed the extraordinary work being produced without representation,” says Trevyn. “We felt we could provide the opportunity for more people to see and understand African design.” Through Southern Guild’s Cape Town gallery and international exhibitions, they have introduced the work of modern African artists (such as Poswa and Dyalvane) to collectors around the globe, and the response has been enthusiastic. “I’m exhibiting at top international shows like Salon Art + Design in New York and Design Miami,” says Poswa, who now resides in Cape Town. “I’ve sold my pieces around the world.” According to Trevyn, collectors—including a large and growing client base in the United States—are reacting to both the caliber and the soul of the work. “Fine art and design in Africa is very forward-thinking, but largely made by hand,” she says. “The hallmark of design from this continent are pieces with a strong narrative. Many of them tell very personal stories about the maker and his or her journey and most pieces possess a sense of wit and humor, but they are usually functional as well.”

Poswa’s work, which includes colorful vessels, is a case in point. “I reference my culture, growing up as young Xhosa girl in the rural Eastern Cape, and express my love for Africa as a continent,” she says. “I draw inspiration from our traditional masks, fabrics, textures, beadwork and clothing.” Some of her works translate the color and patterns of African textiles onto vases, bowls and plates. The art of sculptor Stanislaw Trzebinski, also represented by Southern Guild, is a personal commentary on the often-eroding relationship between people and nature. It’s a tale he knows well, as he currently lives in Cape Town but spent his childhood in the East African bush and on the ocean with his father, surfing and fishing. His bronze works (which range from figurative decorative arts to tables) often feature coral and other watery motifs, sometimes married to the human form. “I’m looking at the symbiotic relationship we humans have to the natural world that has been all but lost today, with the exceptions of a few indigenous cultures,” he says. “I want to entice the viewer to take a closer look at the work itself, but also at how we relate to the planet we call home.” Asking buyers to take a closer look at African design is precisely the goal of the McGowans, as well. “To look is to experience the warmth and the personality of Africa. There’s a sense of non-conformism and joy,” Trevyn says. And by looking, she says you might be creating the next Poswa or Trzebinski, explaining: “Our focus lies in emboldening industry heroes and shaping careers. We want to put future design leaders on a global platform and help them be all that they can.”

RADAR / DEBUT

Tactile elements play a starring role in Frank Ponterio’s debut collection with Arteriors. The designer conjured ink-like etchings inspired by real-life tattoos on the Flint Containers (bottom) and used handwoven rope on the Johyo Chandelier and Vendee Mirror (left). “The materials are those that people want to interact with and touch,” he says. The Salotto Cabinet (below) is the crown jewel of the collection.

La Dolce VITA

FRANK PONTERIO’S DEBUT COLLECTION WITH ARTERIORS STRIKES A SWEET SPOT BETWEEN ROUGH AND RARIFIED. WRITTEN BY HEATHER CARNEY PORTRAIT BY BERT VANDERVEEN

As a first-generation Italian American, interior designer Frank Ponterio spent a month every summer with his family exploring the beaches and small towns of Southern Italy, often fitting in a trip to the major metropolises of Venice or Rome. It was on these visits when he observed the attention to detail and sense of pride the Italians took in fabricating everyday features like a chimney or a handmade door handle. “Everything is beautiful and well thought-out. It’s a true Italian’s approach—whether in an artwork or how pavers on the city streets are laid. There is pride in the craft,” says the designer. Some decades later, the essence of those qualities are on display in Ponterio’s debut collection with Arteriors: a 28-piece compendium of mirrors, lamps and accessories that honors his Italian heritage with a modern perspective. His white-oak Salotto Cabinet, the crown jewel of the collection, was inspired by a pair of bronze doors at the Villa Necchi in Milan. The cabinet beckons

with front panels wrapped in vellum and punched with decorative cut-outs offering a glimpse of what’s inside. “We gave so much attention to that piece,” says Ponterio. Still, the collection isn’t all romance and history. The designer drew on his grittier, more urban upbringing in Chicago for many of the pieces, including the Joey Tray, inspired by a childhood acquaintance, who was “a little rough around the edges,” says Ponterio. “I was playing with thickcut hide and how to join the corners. The idea of brass studs came to me, and I thought about adding another accent—brass knuckles—to it. I sent it to the Arteriors team and said, ‘You’re going to think I’m crazy, but here’s what I want to do.’ It’s an urban nod to Chicago.” Blending approachability with luxury is a hallmark of Ponterio’s work. It’s also one of the qualities that attracted Arteriors to collaborate with the designer. “Many pieces are rooted in Frank’s love of entertaining, and in his philosophy that the home should be a welcoming and inviting place,” says Mark Moussa, founder and creative director of Arteriors. “At the same time, he is unwavering in his appreciation for materials of the finest quality.” For a designer who finds comfort in a moody cocktail lounge and a breezy, beachside locale, it’s apparent his collection reflects both sentiments. “There are two sides of me—the really urban guy and the guy who loves the coasts. It goes back to Italy,” says Ponterio. “I like mixing things that are rugged with those that are a bit more refined.”

ALEXA HAMPTON Interviewed by Carrier and Company

You’ve expressed, “It’s been a no-boundaries design process with Theodore Alexander.” What’s been your favorite exploration? I loved visiting Theodore Alexander’s foundry and seeing all of their metalwork capabilities. Sometimes simply picking hardware can be a drag, but this wasn’t. They can do anything! You mentioned taking ideas from art, antiques and travel. I am an eternal “Euro wannabe.” I so wish I were European, that I married one and made three little Euros! That said, rich design traditions are everywhere, and the Far East has always held a vast influence over beautiful interiors. A touch of chinoiserie, a chow leg, red lacquer, bamboo motifs: These are all firm members of the design canon. Any Alexa fave that you are going to use over and over in projects? I am excited to play with the metal console tables immediately. I am also really psyched to have a Napoleon III slipper chair at the ready. That’s the best part of having a collection: You can selfishly make what your heart most wants!

CARRIER AND COMPANY

Interviewed by Richard Mishaan First off, the Century Collection is stunning. How do you find a balance between creative, new designs, without straying too far from the roots of your brand? Thank you, Richard! We wanted our collection to be reflective of our assembled interiors, which express dualities—a mix of simple with ornate, sheen with hand and glamour with organic earthiness. For us, having standout pieces, along with simpler forms is very much on brand. How do you divide up your roles as husband and wife once you’re ‘at work’ and how do you successfully partner your visions? While we generally share an aligned point of view, we each have our own strengths, interests and inspirations. It is our differences that actually make us stronger—we challenge each other’s choices, but ultimately focus on the shared goals to temper ego with perspective. What do people overlook when designing that can be found in your collection? Versatility. We designed pieces that can move from room-to-room or coast-to-coast. Good design travels well!

RYAN KORBAN

Interviewed by Alexa Hampton Tell me about the process for your new EJ Victor collection. Are you a cocktail napkin conceptualist? Where do the ideas start? Mine start in a bottle of tequila! For me it was daunting, but then I realized I was making it more complicated than it needed to be. I started in retail and commercial space design, so I’ve been designing custom fixtures and furnishings for my entire career. I went back to all my favorite pieces I had designed for brands like Balenciaga but changed the comfort and proportions for people to enjoy in their own homes. How do you describe your collection as a whole and what influenced you? It’s simple: It’s the idea of new luxury; luxury for a new generation. It’s inspired by the French 1920s with the use of interesting materials like suede and plaster. It’s meant to feel elevated but can also be used in a casual way. What pieces are you taking home with you? Oh, good question: a pair of Holland side chairs and a Foch Chandelier!

RICHARD MISHAAN

Interviewed by Ryan Korban Do your Colombian roots play a role in your new collection with Theodore Alexander? The fact that Colombia has produced so many creatives means that there is something inspiring us all. Colombia has rich artisans and sophisticated crafts that are both in such demand at the moment. As they say, you can take little Ricky out of Colombia, but you can’t take Colombia out of little Ricky! What were your go-to materials? I love to see texture and grain in the woods we select. I find that there are so many beautiful patterns that if accentuated can add to the richness of the design. I am lucky that Theodore Alexander’s manufacturing allowed me to work with fine wood finishes, metals and hand-painted panels—the sky was the limit. Who do you see living with your new collection? The Theodore Alexander client is already a sophisticated one. I designed this collection to have versatility, to coexist with furniture the client may already own and to translate well everywhere around the globe. Younger clients may not have some of the more classical pieces, so it’s fun to mix them in with contemporary furniture.

WILLMOTT’S GHOST & DEEP DIVE The Spheres, downtown Seattle’s trio of plant-filled geodesic domes, designed by NBBJ for Amazon but open to the public, now boasts two distinctive dining and drinking spots courtesy of chef Renee Erickson’s Sea Creatures—the restaurant group behind local favorites (for both food and ambience) The Whale Wins and Bar Melusine. The latest addition is airy Italian eatery Willmott’s Ghost, a collaboration between the group’s interior design firm, Price Erickson Interiors, and Heliotrope Architects, with lighting by dePelecyn Studio. Italian marble countertops, blush walls and accents of gold along with playful details, such as abstract art prints and a pastel-hued espresso machine, offer diners an inspiring spot to cozy up inside an architectural marvel dominated by curves and glass. Tucked discreetly at the base of the Spheres, Deep Dive sits in stark contrast to Willmott’s Ghost. The moody speakeasystyle cocktail bar features curiosities curated by collector Curtis Steiner, made to spark exploration into the worlds of Charles Darwin and Jules Verne. Graham Baba Architects sought to reflect a vast emotional journey throughout its intimate footprint (1,677 square feet), with Charlie Hellstern Interior Design implementing luxurious elements such as midnight blue velvet upholstery, vintage rugs and decorative panels for an immersive experience that’s truly a plunge into adventures past. eatseacreatures.com 098 / luxesource.com

How can we design for balance? The Seattle Design Festival tackles this question during its ninth annual outing August 6-25. AIA Seattle and Design in Public, a local nonprofit devoted to promoting the quality-of-life-improving role of design, will partner with 120-plus organizations to investigate how innovation can create positive change through various installations, lectures and experiences citywide. Architects, community members and civic leaders will demonstrate how design can work with nature’s own systems to restore balance in our communities and society at large. Participants will explore concepts like how to achieve work-life balance and how daily decisions impact our planet’s future. designinpublic.org

MEET the MAKER Which paintings have become wallcoverings? Area Environments, the Minneapolis-based wallpaper and mural studio, reproduced my small watercolor sketches as wallcoverings. They make such a simple, graphic statement. Where do you envision seeing them? I would love to see them in a relaxing space, like a spa or boutique hotel. The tree murals would be lovely in a mountain home, restaurant or retail store. What inspires you about the PNW? I’m especially drawn to the tall evergreens that are so abundant in Northwest Washington. Many of my watercolors are based on the first few miles of a hike there, in which you are walking under a canopy of branches.

Coastal travels have led Mount Vernon, Washington artist Lesley Frenz to capture nature’s most ethereal moments in an exploration of color with watercolors and acrylics. Counting her East Coast roots and the Pacific Northwest’s diverse landscapes as inspiration, her abstract paintings offer a dreamy insight into life in the Northwest. Recently art, nature and design converged through her custom wallcoverings, which are representative of these treks. lesleyfrenz.com

FIRST LOOK GLASSWING GREENHOUSE

The Seattle shop, design studio and event space Glasswing Greenhouse (1351 E. Olive Way) celebrates its first six months in operation, five years after Alisa Furoyama and Forest Eckley founded its sister, Glasswing, the well-regarded clothing and home goods emporium, one block away. Cement floors, timber beams and floor-to-ceiling windows encase the industrial yet lush plant and floral boutique, which formerly housed a neighborhood arcade bar. There’s a dedicated space for hands-on workshops, trunk shows and special events, where visitors can immerse themselves in all things flora—from nurturing a newfound green thumb with a Houseplants 101 class to ordering blooms from their fresh-cut flower bar. With floral designer Kristen Griffith-VanderYacht and plant director Tassy de Give at the helm, the Greenhouse also offers wedding and corporate event design. Locals can also order individual arrangements online to give as gifts or take home seasonal bouquets created in honor of “the world’s most romantic cities.” glasswingshop.com 100 / luxesource.com

Acrylic vs. watercolor? There is an immediacy to watercolor that I appreciate but it takes more patience and a delicate hand. Acrylic gives me the opportunity to work in layers. My process is physical and rugged and about building up paint, then knocking it back. There is a history with an acrylic painting, a glimpse of that layering process that I miss when I’m working in watercolor. Where else can we find your paintings? Seattle Art Source (666 S. King St.) as well as Adorn in Seattle’s Phinney Ridge through July 2019, and in several exhibitions around the country.

⊳ “GNARLY: THE DAN ROBINSON RETROSPECTIVE”

JEWELRY, THE CITY AND BONSAI TREES ARE THE FOCUS OF THREE EXHIBITIONS IN SEATTLE AND VANCOUVER.

▲ “RON HO: A JEWELER’S TALE”

The creations of the late jeweler and art educator Ron Ho (1936–2017) are not always practical or wearable but they’re invariably eye-catching and thought-provoking. A child of Chinese parents, who was raised in Hawaii and eventually settled in Seattle, Ho went on to become one of the world’s most celebrated makers of contemporary jewelry. Visual representations of his background, cultural influences, curiosity and immediate environment, his striking work tells stories via precious metals and gemstones as well as found objects. Running through September 15 at the Bellevue Arts Museum, this comprehensive exhibition, devoted to the artist’s life and work, will include many personal artifacts like paintings, drawings and letters, plus numerous examples of his jewels, like the 2006 jade and silver necklace called Yu (above). The highlight is a complete reconstruction of his studio featuring books that inspired him, his tools and jeweler’s bench and the show tunes he liked listening to while he worked piped through the sound system. bellevuearts.org 102 / LUXESOURCE.COM

▲ “THE STREET”

Suburbia’s manicured lawns and cookie-cutter architecture have attracted many a family seeking a peaceful existence. Artists, however, have tended to be less enthusiastic. While they’ve often depicted the seamy underbelly beneath the ’burbs’ shiny veneer, creative types appear to prefer urban areas as subject matter if the celebrated work of Eugène Atget and Edward Hopper is any indication. The street—a place of bustling crowds, suffocating traffic and the occasional political protest—is one aspect of the city that has been endlessly inspiring. “The Street,” an exhibition on display through November 17 at the Vancouver Art Gallery, reinforces that notion as it showcases more than 50 works from the institution’s permanent collection. Expect photographs, paintings, sculpture and video, dating back to the 18th century and created by internationally known names like Roman Vishniac (above) and Robert Frank, and Candadians like Don Jarvis and Judy Radul. vanartgallery.bc.ca

GNARLY: THE DAN ROBINSON RETROSPECTIVE: FRANSCECA SARPOLA FOR THE PACIFIC BONSAI MUSEUM.

Curved and crooked, the branches of a tiny bonsai tree are anything but natural. An art developed in 6th-century Japan, the diminutive greenery is bent, pruned, wired, trimmed and trained into submission to resemble its larger counterparts and fit in a small container. Now through September 29, the Pacific Bonsai Museum, outside of Tacoma, is highlighting the career of 80-yearold Dan Robinson, founder of Elandan Gardens in Bremerton and father of the American school of bonsai. One of the renegade members of the Seattle Men’s Bonsai Club (aka the Bonsai Bums) who helped launch the Pacific Northwest bonsai scene, the rebellious Robinson is best known as the developer of avant-garde techniques like deadwood carving that leave his trees a bit more twisted than those created via traditional methods. Installations of rock, wood and, of course, bonsai will showcase each phase of his tree-shaping evolution. pacificbonsaimuseum.org

MARK OF THE MAKER

PAUL FERRANTE paulferrante.com |

paulferranteinc

The production methods of custom lighting company Paul Ferrante are the opposite of cutting-edge, which, contrary to popular thinking, is a good thing. “The handmade, handcrafted and hand-finished products are what set Paul Ferrante apart. The company continues to use time-honored methods,” owner Tommy Raynor says. Spanning three generations and nearly 60 years, the family-owned and -operated business has decades of experience and expertise to draw from. Since business partner and founder Paul Ferrante’s passing 25 years ago, Raynor, along with over 60 employees, has taken the reins with a hands-on approach from manufacturing to product selection. Everything begins with the design, and the designs are born from a deep understanding and appreciation of what has come before. The knowledge of scale and proportion and the ability to get it right in the translation is Paul Ferrante’s signature. Additionally, the company distinguishes itself by its custom capabilities and being able to work with ideas and make them a reality.

“ Paul Ferrante is known for products with the highest level of design, manufacture and finish.”

The Finishing Touch

Keeping It Interesting

Paul Ferrante recently introduced an exclusive finish innovation, years in the making. This beautiful Faux Bronze lacquer finish is the result of a labor-intensive, multilayered process that provides a convincingly realistic bronze finish on our iron pieces at a fraction of the cost of working in bronze.

Unlike most other high-end lighting and furniture manufacturers, Paul Ferrante introduces new products almost monthly, and has over 1,000 handmade examples of custom lighting and furniture in the product line.

Having worked on 19th-century masonry buildings in their native New York, the spaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality of light, Victorian bones, materials and textures were familiar to the architects.

MOD MOMENT

HIGH-END DESIGNS PUSH THE ENVELOPE WHEN IT COMES TO MODULAR KITCHEN STYLES. Modular kitchens aren’t a new concept. They were first introduced in Europe as an efficient, low-cost alternative for homes being built in a post-World War I era but have reemerged quite differently today. While these early spaces were mostly standardized or fitted, today, modular kitchens, which are made up of specific modules or components that work together, have evolved to be stylish, practical and a welcome option in a world of too many choices. Several contemporary kitchen companies offer modular plans that have a set style or aesthetic 178 / luxesource.com

but can also be customized to create a design that is very much original. Piero Lissoni, the art director for Boffi, agrees the future of the kitchen is modular, and that these spaces should include “simple elements, where areas of work and life come together.” For the latest Combine series, Lissoni dreamed up a selection of functional monoblocs in varying sizes that can be used with worktops and extractable tables to fabricate a kitchen that is still personalized for its user. Vipp, a Danish family-run kitchen company that recently opened its first U.S. outpost, understands that design is a very personal endeavor. The firm's hope is that once a modular kitchen is installed, it can act as furniture that can be packed up and brought from home to home or passed on through generations, an idea they coined as the ‘heirloom kitchen.’ While Vipp offers four sleek module units including two islands, a wall component and a taller storage piece, it sticks to one color when it comes to finishes: black. “We found that endless colors and configurations feel

unnecessarily overwhelming,” says Sofie Egelund, Vipp’s concept director whose great-grandfather founded the brand in 1939. The Vipp ethos of less is more allows for the kitchen to work harmoniously with the rest of the home’s high design. Modular offerings are also a hit with interior designers. Paris-based Sarah Lavoine says, “The kitchen is very technical and relying on a company whose expertise is focused on this area allows me to be more creative in other rooms.” With so many sophisticated materials and configurations, Lavoine is surprised by how custom these modular kitchens can be but without the time-consuming installation and planning that usually follows. New York designer Alberto Villalobos understands there is no need to sacrifice style or aesthetics with the number of luxury options out there. “I utilize every tool available to me and modular kitchens have proven they are the practical and polished choice in many circumstances,” he says.

Australian design duo Tim and Sylvia Hill know a thing or two about beach days, so they decided to create the ideal accessory for long, summer days at the sea with the Dreamtime towel. Inspired by the incredibly soft Turkish peshtemal, the towel’s high-quality cotton is sourced from Turkey's southern region of Buldan and will only get better with each wash. It’s lightweight, absorbent and transitions easily from the beach to home use. maydestore.com

For Thomas Furse-Roberts and Graeme Martinow, the directors of architecture and interior design firm Boundary Space, their design ethos for this London master bathroom was be bold or go home. Drawing inspiration from fashion, history and pop culture, Furse-Roberts says, “We were influenced by the ’70s because it has this glamorous connotation but was also a very futuristic time period, so we wanted to channel Blondie and Pan Am here.” The homeowner is in the film industry and the designers were charged with creating a room that not only represents their client’s personality but also the surrounding Notting Hill area, which is known for a strong sense of color and creativity.

WITH WANDERLUST ON THE MIND, CREATIVES ARE FLOCKING TO FAR-REACHING DESTINATIONS IN SEARCH OF ART, ARTISANS AND ARCHITECTURAL WONDERS. WRITTEN BY MARY ORE PRODUCED BY JENNIFER CONDON

Much like in the 19th century, when the Arts and Crafts movement espoused a return to the handmade in response to rampant industrialization, today’s visionary talents are turning away from technology and celebrating a return to the authentic. Bringing a modernist zeal to stone, straw, clay and textiles, creatives around the globe are reviving traditional crafts from an entirely new point of view. A desire for connection—to the materials, the process and to the region’s history—is at the heart of this new wave, which favors individuality and the sustained focus on genuine inspiration. Architects, too, are taking cues from their country’s past to build anew or overhaul the old, all the while creating work that’s startling fresh. There’s plenty of luxury, too, in the richness of the resources, the attention to details and the elegance and originality of the vision. Read on as we tour an array of design destinations where authenticity and modernism meet.

CULTURE TRIP

The walls of Galeriá OMR in Mexico City feature chalk drawings and textiles by Yann Gerstberger, which were part of his solo show “Ice News & Freeway Fetishes.”

THE LOOK / THE REPORT

PORTUGAL Minimalist architectural silhouettes, exposed wood construction and high-end whiteon-white interiors give a bohemian-chic vibe to the Sublime Comporta. As the go-to boutique resort for this under-the-radar vacation destination, the Sublime Comporta recently reopened after a complete renovation that included redecorating the rooms in the traditions of the region, adding one of the largest “bio” pools in Europe and building nine poolside suites on stilts. With both a beachy and woodland Zen feel—stretches of unspoiled white sandy coastline lay to the west and forests of umbrella pines and cork trees to the east—its stunning locale is the perfect place to reconnect with nature. It’s also a glamorous and restful basecamp for excursions to nearby villages to discover the indigenous handicrafts for which the region is known. sublimecomporta.pt

Azure THING

Portugal holds a special place in fabric atelier Pierre Frey’s heart—so much so that the brand developed a panoramic wallcovering called Lisboa (above) that echoes the traditional Portuguese azulejos found on the palaces of Lisbon and Porto. Here, Frey shares his favorite architectural spaces. pierrefrey.com

2CL CLAY DAY

Famous for its azulejo-tiled buildings and artisanal ceramics, Portugal is brimming with talented potters who are drawing on the country’s ceramicist heritage while mixing in their own perspectives. As part of their home decor collection, David Pimentel and Arren Williams of Casa Cubista craft bold and bright ceramics (left) from their studio on the Algarve Coast. Farther north in Alcabideche, Anna Westerlund, of Swedish-Portuguese descent, brings both her legacies to the pottery (right) she creates at her sun-washed atelier. casacubista.com, annawesterlund.com

Oriente Station by Santiago Calatrava: It was in Lisbon that I first discovered this architect and I love everything he creates. He has works in London and France and was the creative mind behind lower Manhattan’s Oculus. His buildings are filled with energy, while being very dynamic and powerful. Promontorio Headquarters: The impressive interior staircase in this architecture firm’s office is made of concrete, which normally feels heavy, but the curves are graceful and light and entice you to find out where it leads. Prado: As a culinary institution, of course the food is great, but the architecture is simple and precise. The high, white walls and ceiling are filled with long tendrils of hanging plants making it a refreshing atmosphere to dine.

POSSESSIONS For exciting new design, look no further than Luteca or Ewe—both channel modern principles through artisanal techniques. Luteca offers original and classic designs, such as the Line chair (above), designed by Michael van Beuren, a Bauhaus-trained American who moved to the city in the 1930s. At the design collective Ewe, natural materials are transformed into sculptural collectibles. For the Copal coffee table (below), stonemasons eschewed machinery, opting instead to sculpt Tikal marble into six half spheres entirely by hand. luteca.com, ewe-studio.com

ART CORE

One of the stars of the Mexican art scene is Galeriá OMR, in the Roma district (site of the Oscar-winning film), which is celebrated for discovering and cultivating some of the country’s most innovative talents, including Jose Dávila, Pia Camil, Gabriel Rico and Yann Gerstberger, a French artist who moved to the city seven years ago. Gluing hand-dyed mop thread and industrial fabric scraps onto vinyl, Gerstberger draws on myriad influences—Nigerian folk art, Surrealism, graffiti—to create vibrant works that pay homage to Mexico’s rich textile heritage. galeriaomr.com

CASA CALIENTE

Lush tropical foliage and classical architectural elements mix to create an exotic sensibility in the courtyard of the Nima Local House Hotel, built in the late 19th century when the city was known as “little Paris.” One of a handful of house-hotels cropping up in the neighborhood, the Nima feels more like a grand home with a central living room warmed by a marble fireplace and four well-appointed guest rooms. Although each has its own look inspired by people once connected to the property, they all feature a contemporary sensibility and the latest amenities. nimalocalhousehotel.com

Brazil’s lively design scene lured back Brunno Jahara, a native who had decamped to Italy to study and work in architecture. Founding his own studio in Rio de Janeiro upon his return, he’s become known for his playful decor made with materials that range from textiles to recycled plastic. Not one to shy away from color, he went with natural hues for a line of woven straw lamps—part of a collaboration with Brazilian fashion designer Carioca Ana Voss— that mixes down-to-earth chic with tropical flair. brunnojahara.com

Overlooking the Copacabana Beach, the Emiliano Hotel in Rio de Janeiro, designed by the local firm Studio Arthur Casas along with Florida-based Oppenheim Architecture, stands out along the line of seafront hotels. Each beachfront room has white folding panels with cut-oval patterns (right) that can be opened for full exposure to the views or closed for privacy while allowing breeze and light to filter through; similar to the light, the façade is ever shifting. Inside, sleek furnishings make this hotel a stellar example of modern glamor in a city long associated with great design. emiliano.com.br

DESIGN DOYENNE

With her second collection for the high-end furniture brand Artefacto, architect Patricia Anastassiadis of Anastassiadis Arquitetos showcases her gifts for sumptuous minimalism in pieces like the Banco Vivika (bottom) and spaces such as the lobby bar of the new Palacio Tangara hotel in São Paulo (left). Here she shares insight into what makes her native Brazil so special. anastassiadis.com.br, artefacto.com How do you define the region’s design? Brazilian modernist design is celebrated worldwide, and it was created mostly by

immigrants and their descendants. What truly marks this region’s design is diversity—we live in a cultural melting pot where countless references coexist. What exemplifies that look? Amazing woodwork, marvelous ceramics (with pieces from Marajó Island, for instance) and unique materials (such as the golden grass found at Jalapão) that create beautiful accessories. Did growing up in Brazil influence your approach? My architecture practice is based in São Paulo, a city with a rich and interesting international scene, and my work is marked by this diversity. Also, I’ve always been interested in classical art and architecture, which gives us a deeper understanding of the world. When we understand traditional design, we’re able to create original work of our own. Tell us about the new collaboration with Artefacto. We are always looking to develop timeless pieces with a holistic appeal. And despite their strong visual appeal, they’re not necessarily related to trends. I believe a good design piece ruptures its timeline without losing its aesthetic or functional relevance.

Converted from a 19th-century convent and hospital, the lavish new Jaffa Hotel has opened in Tel Aviv. The high-end remodel, which has put this ancient port city on the design cognoscenti’s must-see list, preserved a historic chapel and wall of a 13th-century crusaders’ fortress while sinking a pool—where nuns once tended their orange groves—peacefully below street level. Deck furnishings by B&B Italia reflect how gracefully modern luxury can engage with history in one of the world’s oldest cities. thejaffahotel.com

12 CODE RED

The Design Museum Holon, enveloped in sinuous steel bands in shades of red, is a fitting site for the celebration of Israeli decorative arts. Its iconic façade, the vision of architect Ron Arad, is singular, as is the museum’s mission: As the country’s sole design museum, it is devoted to educating visitors through events and exhibitions about international design and contemporary culture. But it’s the evolving permanent collection, which encompasses Israeli design from the 1930s to the present, that offers new perspectives on the country’s aesthetic legacy and puts into context the energy invigorating a new crop of Israeli designers today. dmh.org.il

face OFF

A short walk from the Jaffa hotel is Saga, a wellcurated decorative arts store. Here, a selection of home goods represents the work of some 100 Israeli design studios from established names to emerging talents, including masks by Studio Umasqu (above) and a colored concrete coffee table by Magenta Workshop (below). The store is also just a stone’s throw from the popular Jaffa Flea Market, a conglomeration of stalls where visitors can barter for nearly anything under the sun. However, for design lovers, Saga’s pouredconcrete showroom, inch-for-inch, offers a more disciplined shopping approach with a great thrill of discovery. sagatlv.com

In 1997, Conrad decided to venture West, thus founding Conrad Brothers of Idaho. “As a third-generation contractor, it was never a question of what I would do, but where,” Conrad says. “The people and quality of life in the Sun

Sun Valley is a unique place to live because … we are a tight-knit community living in a hidden gem. We pride ourselves on no lift lines and want to keep that little secret to ourselves. My ideal Saturday would start … with a morning jog in the mountains with my dog, Lucy, or a hike up Baldy on skis. Next, take my kids to an outdoor water park, grab some ice cream, and then drinks with friends at Ketch’em Alive or another summertime concert.

In HARMONY THOUGHTFULLY COMBINING SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND PACIFIC NORTHWEST SENSIBILITIES, AN ISLAND DWELLING BECOMES A BELOVED RETREAT. WRITTEN BY LAURA MAUK / PHOTOGRAPHY BY AARON LEITZ

luxesource.com / 223

evamp a home that’s a stylistic hodgepodge and smoothly integrate divergent aesthetics of the Pacific Northwest and Southern California. That was the challenge designer Mindy Gayer and architect Dana Webber faced as they joined forces to craft a family retreat on Bainbridge Island. “Our clients live full-time in Southern California and are drawn to a clean, understated style,” Gayer says. “But they wanted this home to look like it belongs on the island; they didn’t want anything to distract from the beauty around it.” The clients, a couple with young children, had found and purchased a property perched by the silvery waters of Puget Sound, after falling in love with the locale during a vacation. But the house—originally built in 1930 and expanded in the early 1980s—was all over the map, stylistically speaking. “Rumor has it that a previous owner was a contractor who added onto the house when he had extra materials,” says Webber. That could explain why there were clunky chimneys and, toward the center of the house, a dark and aesthetically out-of-place staircase. “The living room chimney blocked the water views,” the architect says. “And the stair, which looked like it was salvaged from an old 1970s office building, had nothing to do with the cottage character of the house.” She removed the awkward features, rearranged the floor plan, then added bi-fold windows and doors for a better connection to the landscape.

In the living room of a Bainbridge Island abode reimagined by designer Mindy Gayer and architect Dana Webber, Gayer arranged a custom Cisco Home sofa, a jute rug, and leather and wood chairs from House of Morrison in Newport Beach, California. A Pindler stripe enlivens Lee Industries lounge chairs.

Webber also overhauled the exterior, redesigning the entrance and replacing the roof. “The entrance now is a tall gabled tower with expansive steel-clad windows and doors that beckon you to come inside and be with family,” says the architect, who also used it to join the main portion of the house to the garage structure, which she redid to include an office and a bunk room and living area for the kids. She clad the tower with soft white board-and-batten siding and the rest of the house in a combination of black cedar siding and stone veneer. “The dark siding and the standing-seam metal roof recede into the woods so the house doesn’t dominate the shoreline,” she says. “There are so many cool materials on the house,” notes Sharen Borgias, who, with Tad Fairbank, served as the project’s general contractors. For the garage doors, “Our supplier found old growth cedar that had been milled decades ago,” she explains. “The stored lumber had character, aging and distinctive circular saw marks.”

Webber and Gayer collaborated, selecting the exterior colors in an effort to blend the architecture with the furnishings palette. “We wanted contrast for both the interior and the exterior,” says Gayer. “The darker, moody tones blend into the trees, but the bright white tower, which is unexpected in the Pacific Northwest, feels true to a lot of homes in Southern California.” The designer chose to juxtapose vibrant lightness with dark accents indoors. She covered the floors with white-washed oak and painted most of the walls brilliant white; light fixtures and some of the walls and built-in shelving are in charcoal and black tones, such as in the mud room and the office. “Contrast lends interest in a way that’s understated,” Gayer says. For the kitchen, the designer created an ethereal feeling by combining blue-painted cabinetry with marble countertops and oak flooring. “The paint tones play off the grayish Moroccan tile of the backsplash,” Gayer says, “The color here was influenced by and relates directly to the water views.”

“The La Cornue range helped set the tone for the kitchen’s other design elements,” says Gayer. It establishes the mix of metals in the Ashley Norton hardware and Allied Maker ceiling fixtures. Benjamin Moore’s Rocky Coast is on the cabinets and Puritan Gray on the island. The flooring is by Ribadão Lumber & Flooring; the counters are Calacatta marble from Pental Surfaces. The sink is Rohl; the faucet is Moen.

To accommodate large family gatherings, Webber conceived an outdoor counter and dining area that connect to the kitchen. White Moroccan zellige backsplash tile by Mosaic House in the kitchen stands out against the darker-hued wood. The weathered teak table is from RH; the wall-mounted lights are from Design Within Reach.

The designer added warmth throughout by placing furnishings upholstered in textural taupe, caramel and oatmeal shades. On a large jute rug in the living room, she arranged a custom sofa covered in a sandy linen and a pair of midcentury-style wood-frame armchairs with toffee-colored leather cushions. The master suite features an entire wall of stained oak paneling laid in a chevron pattern. “I used thin boards that have a more modernist appearance,” Gayer says. The rear of the home is almost completely open to the water, with no substantial boundary between it and the structure. Landscape architect Jeff Bouma designed a twolevel stone terrace complete with a living and dining space and fashioned an adjacent fire pit area beneath massive conifer trees. “The conifers frame views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains to the west,” Bouma says. Webber, for her part, conceived an outdoor kitchen. A centerpiece of family gatherings, and an early factor in Webber’s design vision, it points to the homeowners’ intention for their island retreat. “They have a big family and their viewpoint is the more the merrier,” says Gayer. Webber adds: “The owners said to me, ‘Everything seems to be in exactly the right place. There wouldn’t have been a better way to do any of it.’ ”

Opposite: “The warm wood tones were designed to give the master bath a lake house feel—juxtaposed with contrasting finishes throughout,” says Gayer, noting the Calacatta marble flooring from Walker Zanger and the hue of the custom vanity and the quartzite countertops. The Roman shade fabric is by Peter Dunham Textiles. Below: “In lieu of using a patterned wallpaper to add visual interest, we designed a statement wall in the master bedroom using stained oak planks in a chevron pattern,” says Gayer. She positioned a bed in front and placed a Made Goods table and sconce by Allied Maker next to it. The dresser is by CFC.

Since the home was located on the fragile shoreline of Puget Sound, “The team opted to treat the site gently and retained the house,” explains Webber. “Portions of the structure were removed—improving the shoreline setback. Additions were in the center—leaving neighboring views unaffected.” On the whitepainted tower are Rejuvenation lights; the lantern is by Troy Lighting. The windows are by Sierra Pacific.

URBAN AERIE A LUXURIOUSLY SUBTLE PALETTE AND TACTILE ELEMENTS TRANSFORM A PORTLAND CONDO INTO A SOOTHING RETREAT. WRITTEN BY KELLY VENCILL SANCHEZ / PHOTOGRAPHY BY GEORGE BARBERIS

Designers Brandt and Chelsea Kaemingk chose sculptural furnishings for a Portland penthouse, including the living room’s Piet Boon BO sofa from Inform Interiors and a De La Espada chair from Hive. Huffnagel Design & Build fabricated the blackened steel fireplace. Underfoot is a carpet from Kush Rugs. The Christophe Pillet coffee table is from 1stdibs; the Gubi floor lamps are from Rouse Home.

or over a decade, designers Brandt and Chelsea Kaemingk had been in real estate— investing in properties, working on them and selling them. “It provided an incredible amount of experience in all realms and allowed us to refine our eye and craft with each new project,” says Brandt. Fast forward to 2017 when offers to do design work increased. “We decided to make the change,” says Chelsea. “We loved the idea of meeting and working with new people and creating inspiring spaces for them along the way. We love the relationships and friendships we have made in the past couple of years.” Count both Koi and Barnes Ellis among those affiliations. Connected by a friend, the Ellises turned to the Kaemingks to reimagine their Portland penthouse and conceive interiors that could hold their own against sweeping views of downtown, forested hills and the Willamette River. “They’d been living there for about a year when we were brought in,” Brandt recalls. “They had some great pieces as well as some intriguing art, but there was no continuity. The place felt a little lifeless.” Adds Chelsea, “We listened to Barnes speak about the space and the furnishings, and it became clear that it needed more than a refresh.” They walked through the condo, sizing up the layout as well as the Ellises’ furniture. “Each piece was either too large, too tall, too complicated or had too many individual elements for a place with commanding views,” says Chelsea. “And although everything was neutral in tone, the colors clashed.” One room “mostly” worked: the master bedroom, which the owners had updated with a walnut-paneled wall. To create the modern and inviting interior Barnes and Koi wanted, the designers took their cue from the architecture and the view. (The Kaemingks work closely on every job, with Brandt taking on the overall concept and handling the design of architectural details and custom pieces, while Chelsea sees to elements like color, surfaces, furnishings and fixtures.) In the living room, they introduced sculptural furnishings that are low in profile, adding interest with texture and natural materials such as steel, wood—walnut, in particular, to tie in with the paneled wall in the master—and stone. Covered in a sand-colored velvet, the modular sofa is an example. Its curvy, organic form is complemented by

“Barnes liked this room the most, but we all agreed it lacked something,” Chelsea says of the master bedroom. “We worked to give it balance and cohesiveness along with warmth and personality.” Kevin Reilly’s Pattern lamp for Holly Hunt sits atop the custom walnut credenza. Above is a work by Udo Nöger.

the pieces around it: a round coffee table with a smoky glass top on a marble base; blackened steel and marble floor lamps; a wood-framed lounge chair. The designers also reworked the fireplace, resurfacing it in blackened steel. The living room’s tone-on-tone palette continues in the adjoining dining area, replete with clean-lined furniture and a large Eric Blum painting that the designers commissioned. “It’s practically the only color used other than neutrals throughout,” shares Brandt. “We loved the soft, organic nature of his work and thought it fit in beautifully with the design of the dining area, which can be viewed from the living room and kitchen.” The Blum work joins the Ellises’ collection of contemporary art by the likes of Udo Nöger, Lee Kelly and Kristy Kún. “Art is subjective, and it’s not always easy to shop for someone else,” says Chelsea. “But Barnes and Koi were open to suggestions.” Adds Barnes: “We exchanged a lot of emails and photographs about various artists we liked, works we already owned and ideas for the space. It was a fun process.” What was formerly a diminutive office was reframed as a reading room, with wraparound slatted-oak paneling and a settee flanked by French pole sconces. The designers finished the space with a custom credenza that fits snugly against one wall and a cylindrical ottoman that echoes the lines of the settee. “I wasn’t sure how the paneling would turn out,” Barnes admits, “but it’s now one of my favorite rooms. It’s intimate yet elegant, with a striking view of the river and the Fremont Bridge.” Both the clients and designers agreed that the master bedroom was nearly there—it just needed some personality. “We felt that some editing and supplementing would make it shine,” says Chelsea. To balance the walnut paneling, Brandt designed a floating eight-foot walnut credenza with a dark soapstone top for the opposite wall. Above it, the designers hung a large, starkly abstract Nöger work that had once occupied the dining room. The juxtaposition of the Nöger and the credenza create the contrast that the designers believe is essential to any successful interior and one of many moments they devised throughout. “Although the resulting spaces have a light, soft, airy feel about them, we felt it necessary to add that tension with harder, almost commanding materials,” says Brandt. “Every material has a role to play in a space and when paired right, they can create harmony in the big picture.” luxesource.com / 241

The designers transformed the guest bedroom into an inviting space with a channel-tufted headboard that wraps around the nightstands. “We wanted it to feel as luxurious, special and comforting as the rest of the home,” notes Chelsea. The headboard is upholstered in a wool by Maharam and a velvet by Gastón y Daniela from Kravet.

Clay Time REVELING IN SPONTANEITY AND SERENDIPITY, A CERAMICIST CREATES DAZZLING PORCELAIN TABLEWARE AND ACCESSORIES. WRITTEN BY LAURA MORGAN / PHOTOGRAPHY BY SO-MIN KANG

Ceramicist Minu Oh, of Clay Factor, handmakes her porcelain wares (far left). Sketches and tools cover a surface in her Portland studio (left). Bats (below) are used on the wheel to move pieces to the drying area.

onsidering the beauty of Minu Oh’s handmade porcelain wares (marbled bowls, mugs and plates, heirloom-quality vases, refined tumblers and more), it’s surprising that the ceramicist doesn’t design with a specific aesthetic outcome in mind. Rather, she lets the process lead the way. “Accidents happen—there’s space for spontaneity or, I guess you could call it, serendipity,” says the Portland-based founder of Clay Factor. “I explore, emphasizing the idea of play, with no goals in mind. It all comes from a curiosity about the medium.” Working out of her Southeast Portland studio, in a building filled with creatives of all stripes (glassblowers, fine woodworkers, wool makers), Oh and her two-woman team specialize in porcelain, a material, due to its delicacy, that is traditionally the purview of advanced ceramic artists. “Porcelain is fired at a higher temperature than other stoneware clay, a temperature where the material becomes vitreous, which is when the warping can happen,” she says, noting that it’s not uncommon to lose up to 30 percent of pieces in a kiln due to warping. Still, the material’s translucency and the purity of color possible enamor her. The point is boldly

made via her peppy Taffy collection, which relies on coral, canary and blue hues. Oh is able to conjure almost infinite iterations from her singular material. Her beloved Midnight Noir collection, with its soft, unglazed charcoalcolored exteriors and hand-done marbling (a result of directly throwing two porcelain color bodies together on the wheel), speaks to Clay Factor’s modern elegance. “I’ve always been drawn to unglazed surfaces,” says the artist. “I really enjoy the simplicity of working with form, and then just very basic surface decoration.”

248 / luxesource.com

“I EXPLORE, EMPHASIZING THE IDEA OF PLAY, WITH NO GOALS IN MIND. IT ALL COMES FROM A CURIOSITY ABOUT THE MEDIUM.”

Meanwhile, the Eureka collection—a counterpoint to Midnight Noir—is minimal and white, but graphically embellished using a technique called mishima. Says Oh, “You’re essentially carving with a tool into the piece and then painting it over with an opposing color slip,” which is ultimately scraped away to reveal the underlying artwork. Although demand for Clay Factor’s work is high, with individual and wholesale clients calling, Oh is still contemplating opening a brick-and-mortar location in the next year. “We’ve been trying to have more of a local presence, especially since the maker community is such a draw in Portland,” she says. For now, having pieces showcased locally—as part of The Hoxton’s room decor and available for sale at the Ace Hotel—is expanding the brand’s visibility and opening a door to future collaborations within the hospitality arena.

While Oh is grateful for all her success, she’s careful to make sure her art remains a labor of love. She’ll often head to the studio late in the afternoon, and next thing she knows, “birds are chirping in the morning. It’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’ve literally been here the entire evening,’ ” she says. “I’m immersed in my own world, and it’s pretty nice there.”

Oh converses with her dog Rocky (opposite). Color reference tiles allow her to try out different combinations for her Taffy collection (above, left). Stacks of moody Midnight Noir bowls fill a shelf (above).

e want you to go wild—within reason,” Allison Lind’s clients told her. Such a directive would be music to any designer’s ears, and it certainly was to Lind’s. After deciding to build their dream home on a Lake Tapps property they owned, the clients were ready to take chances—and forsake the 1990s vibes, complete with medium-pile carpet and orange-toned wood, in the house. “There was a back and forth with ideas and getting creative but knowing the reality of children,” says Lind. “So we found a happy medium.” Under the designer’s care, the new structure’s stone, velvet and glam accents make it edgy enough for the adults to entertain, yet cozy enough for three young kids to tool around the wood floors on hoverboards. Architect Steve Dona guided the residents through several iterations of the project, from a renovation to a complete rebuild. In turn, the clients’ familiarity with the property allowed them to give Dona thoughtful feedback. “They noted where the sun rose and set, the views and their privacy concerns,” reports the architect. While he changed the driveway location to create both a better entry sequence and more isolation, the home remained in the same spot. “It was situated to take the best possible advantage of the wonderful lake views,” Dona reports. Those sights are framed by floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors that open to terraces. Case in point, he oriented the master bedroom to enjoy vistas of the lake and a beautiful tree in the yard—while still providing for privacy from the street and water. The homeowners brought Lind on at the beginning of the project, so she was able to implement her vision

for the interiors all the way through—“from decor to the placement of outlet switches,” she says. Her work encompassed the finishes, and she collaborated closely with general contractor Erik Schelbert. Recalling their creative partnership, she muses, “I’d come up with crazy ideas and say, ‘Can we do this? How?’ ” The home is replete with carefully considered moments. The fireplace in the great room is a statement piece. Black-stained fir paneling surrounds the firebox and bisects a slab of granite, which extends on each side to become a bench. Echoing the bold gesture in the nearby kitchen are dramatic black cabinets. “When the light hits them the right way, it creates a chevron pattern. It’s a beautiful detail,” says Lind. Getting them just right, though, required a heroic effort from the whole team. “We spent countless hours with different options,” says Schelbert. “Everyone had input into the final product.” A high-contrast palette continues throughout the interior, a critical choice to maintain visual consistency since all the rooms occupy a single floor. Lind anchored the great room with two tufted chesterfield sofas in gray velvet and offset them with a sleek glass and metal coffee table—a chic pairing for entertaining yet durable enough for the children. In the dining area, a table made of reclaimed elm “can take a beating, but that will make it more charming over time,” says the designer. “You don’t want to get too delicate because of the kids, but you want it to feel elegant.” Teak caned-back chairs with black seat cushions are another solution that melds style with practicality. She also carried the bold strokes into the master bathroom where she covered the shower in stripes of black and white tiles. “I loved the drama and the interest,” the designer says of the light and dark interplay. (She even placed the tiles into the floor in front of the vanities for a sort of trompe l’oeil bath mat effect.) Ensuring things aren’t totally austere, though, colorful carpets weave through the house. While an antique rug enlivens the master bedroom, a reproduction made more sense in the high-traffic zone of the great room. The spaces the team conjured fulfilled the clients wishes. “They wanted something special and unique,” Lind says, adding, “They didn’t want to recreate a Pinterest board.” By allowing Lind substantial latitude, they ensured their house would be a personal, thoughtful statement. “They were both involved in decision-making but gave me so much independence and leeway. I really came up with the full concepts and they approved almost everything. I think they wanted to be surprised.”
