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.

Welcome to the March/April issue of Luxe Interiors + Design San Francisco. With the holiday season behind us, we are geared up and ready for an exciting 2017! Toward the end of 2016, we hosted so many fabulous events. First, we kicked off the winter season by partnering with our friends at Coup D’Etat for a wonderful gathering of design industry VIPs, who met with the fascinating and lovely founders of BassamFellows and Douglas Fanning Design. A few days later, Luxe was honored to be a part of the ToutSuite Lounge during the opening night gala of the Napa Valley Film Festival, which was held at the Lincoln Theater in Yountville. Plus, we joined Cambria for an intimate dinner in its stunning showroom for some of San Francisco’s top designers. I want to send a heartfelt thank you to all who helped make these events so memorable and, of course, a big thanks to everyone for your continued support. Enjoy the issue!

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

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.

@nataliebdesigns
WHO: Natalie Bowen Brookshire of Natalie Bowen Designs is a sought-after resource for florals and event design in the Bay Area. After working in a flower shop for a year, she launched her own studio to create artful yet structured arrangements inspired by nature. WHAT: The boutique owner finds inspiration all around her—from overflowing vases to decadent tablescapes. She’s surrounded by flowers daily and thinks it would be a crime not to share that beauty with her followers.
IN HER WORDS: “The joke is that I love a white wall. While I do enjoy playing with negative space, I find my feed is often close up and saturated with color.”
TALKING SHOP WITH JULIA HOHNE
TRUCK & BARTER
When did you open? I had a similar shop, Homestead, in New Orleans, which I wanted to reopen after moving home to California in 2014. After careful rebranding, Truck & Barter launched as an online store in 2015; a year later, I opened the brick-and-mortar in Petaluma. What’s in a name? It comes from an old-timey saying about the innate desire humans have to truck their goods to market and buy, barter and exchange with one another. My goal was to bring superior-quality goods that were unique and affordable to people’s everyday lives. On the shelves? My team stocks products—blankets, home goods, totes— crafted by independent American makers and established brands we trust, such as Filson and Faribault Woolen Mill Co. We also offer our own brand of candles and soaps, which were our best-selling products in 2016. truckandbarter.co
THE INSIDERS JUNKO NAGAI AND KELLYE DENTON
As far back as they can remember, Junko Nagai and Kellye Denton have been obsessed with architecture, design and furniture—Nagai loved the simple beauty of Zen gardens and temples in Japan, while stateside, Denton relished antiques shops and flea markets with her dad. Today, the duo have come together as Koncept22. The design industry vets—who both previously worked at San Francisco’s star design shop Zinc Details—set out on their own to bring handcrafted furniture, primarily Scandinavian and European brands, to the Bay Area. For now, the collection is online-only, but they’re already turning heads among designers, whose clients have an affinity for the Danish midcentury modern look. Here, they share what’s on their radar in San Francisco. koncept22.com What’s exciting you about the local design scene? KD: This city is a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship and San Franciscans understand the importance of supporting communities of artisans and designers. Buying locally allows people to build relationships with artists and designers in a way that wouldn’t otherwise happen. JN: I’m happy to see the Bay Area design scene gaining recognition in the world arena. We represent Yield Design—a hybrid industrial design studio, design label and manufacturer. I met the cofounders at a pop-up exhibit when they were in school at the California College of the Arts. Now, they’re an established team with an emphasis on U.S. manufacturing and they sell all over the world. Must-sees for art lovers: KD: The Clift Hotel is filled with a beautiful mix of pieces by Philippe Starck. JN: The Anderson Collection at Stanford University is like a contemporary art jewel box. You can enjoy each piece in the most intimate way, as if you were having a conversation directly with the artist. Inspiration of the moment: KD: The Alameda Point Antiques Faire. Since we’re furniture junkies, we wander around the market seeking out original Scandinavian designs in furniture and accessories. The trick to finding treasures is to get there as early as possible.

LUXE TAPPED TALENTED LOCAL DESIGNERS FOR THEIR BEST SOURCES AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO SHINE A LIGHT ON SOME OF SAN FRANCISCO’S FINEST OFFERINGS IN ART AND DESIGN.
“Sue Fisher King is a treasure—both her namesake store and Sue herself. She’s been a shopkeeper since 1978. Her store is my staple for stylish and chic finishing touches for a home: dishes, linens, flatware, glasses, bedding and bath accessories. Plus, it’s the best source for any hostess or holiday gifts.”
“We really enjoy working with Daniel Killar at Nido Living. He has a unique and refined eye and access to many of the Italian designers that we’ve come to love. The elements and art he showcases in his ample space always leave me inspired. We work with a lot of gorgeous showrooms here in the city, but Nido provides excellent customer service in addition to inspired beauty.”
“Lost Art Salon is my go-to for large- and small-scale works, in addition to wellcurated objets d’art. The staff always points you in the right direction; plus, they loan out art on approval, which allows my clients to see pieces in their spaces before committing. It’s great for finding that last perfect element that just ties the project together.”

SINGLE THREAD
The long-awaited farm-driven restaurant and inn in downtown Healdsburg, Single Thread, is finally taking reservations for its five thoughtfully appointed on-site guest rooms for diners looking to extend their 11-course tasting menu into an overnight stay—a must for those looking to fully experience Kyle and Katina Connaughton’s legendary hospitality. “Single Thread is meant to be an extension of Kyle and Katina’s home,” says general manager David Sisler. “And while we’re obviously here to serve our guests, the hope is that we feel more like friends.” Firmly rooted in Japanese principles and traditions surrounding food and service, Single Thread leaves no detail to chance. Designed by San Francisco firm Avroko, rooms feature custom furniture, heated floors, Japanese toilets, Matouk linens, Ratio pour-over coffeemakers and Teforia’s state-of-the-art tea brewing system. A delicate balance of old and new, rooms are decorated with vases made by eighth-generation master potters from Japan (who also crafted the restaurant’s donabe clay pots and dishware) and Jiangme Wu’s onion flower-shaped paper lanterns, and provide individual iPad-controlled WiFi that powers in-room devices. When guests wake up each morning, they will be treated to a choice of Japanese breakfast or eggs and vegetables fresh from the nearby farm. singlethreadfarms.com

THE SUMMER OF LOVE EXPERIENCE: ART, FASHION AND ROCK & ROLL The psychedelic 1960s make a comeback this April at the de Young museum for a 50th anniversary celebration of the colorful counterculture that blossomed in the years surrounding the Summer of Love. The exhibit—taking place from April 8 to August 20—highlights the era’s art, fashion and music with more than 300 cultural artifacts. “With the de Young’s proximity to the Haight-Ashbury district, our exhibit will be the cornerstone of a citywide celebration,” says Max Hollein, director and CEO of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Featuring the music of the Grateful Dead and Brigitta Bjerke textiles, the show will be a poignant survey of the moments that played a key role in the major social movements of that time. deyoung.famsf.org

DECASO (aka The Decorative Arts Society) is one of the newest e-tailers in town, but don’t mistake it for a fledgling startup. Cofounder and president Anna Brockway is also the brain behind vintage marketplace powerhouse Chairish. Her latest venture is an exclusive online platform that connects interior designers, collectors and connoisseurs directly with a carefully vetted group of the world’s finest antiques and modernism dealers for access to their exquisite inventories. DECASO’s mission is to be the most trusted online source for collector-worthy pieces, from furniture—like the Vladimir Kagan Omnibus sectional (top, right) and a dreamy malachite table (bottom)—to art, like the acrylicand-wood piece by Charles Arnoldi (right). “Trust is essential when dealing in connoisseur-level items and the associated pricing,” Brockway says. With that in mind, the savvy San Franciscobased businesswoman shares what inspires her around town. decaso.com 6 a.m. Get the day started at SoulCycle on Union Street. I’m likely crying in the third row. 9 a.m. Head to Rose’s Café for the salmon cozy, a black coffee and the chance to say hello to friends. I always seem to bump into long-lost acquaintances at this neighborhood favorite. 10 a.m. Make your way to the San Francisco Design District, where I often pop in to say hello to DECASO’s local dealers, including Coup D’Etat, Battersea, Garden Court Antiques, Antique & Art Exchange, Colonial Arts, Dogfork, and the lovely folks at Epoca. This city is blessed to have so many esteemed dealers with the most delightful and inspiring finds.

been the most helpful advisor as we’ve developed DECASO. He’s chatty and funny, and after spending just an hour with him and his world-class inventory, you’ll practically have a master’s in decorative arts.
2 p.m. I like to log some major time at William Stout Architectural Books. This longtime purveyor of architecture and design publications offers two floors jam-packed with tomes to peruse.
6 p.m. It’s time for oysters and a cocktail (I like the grasshopper) at Leo’s Oyster Bar, which was designed by Ken Fulk. Owner Anna Weinberg is a big fan of Chairish, so you’ll find many Chairish accents throughout the space.
3 p.m. Stop by Eden & Eden. It’s my secret go-to source for superchic vintage clothes and home goods at easy prices. 4 p.m. Have coffee with Peter Pap of Peter Pap Oriental Rugs, who has
9 p.m. My perfect way to close out a San Francisco day is by taking a hot bubble bath with—wait for it—Mr. Bubble. I don’t know if it’s the silly face or the tacky pink bottle, but I wouldn’t think of using anything else.

STRIPED DOWN NATASHA LAW: IN HER WORDS

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.

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.

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. 1
“Outdoor living is not a trend, but an extension of the home and an area that gets as much design attention as any other part of the house.” 2

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. ”

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. 190 / LUXESOURCE.COM

For this cozy cook space, the team at deVOL Kitchens chose a deep shade that is a cross between emerald and British racing green to conjure an old-world vibe. Brass hardware from Perrin & Rowe adds sparkle, while Arabascato marble provides contrast.

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.

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

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

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.

There is a little tongue-in-cheek humor lurking behind this custom bird-and-branch wallpaper by San Franciscan designer Chloe Redmond Warner, who created a chic “murder-of-crows” pattern for the notorious “Murder Salon” of the historic Greystone Mansion. 1 / Carte Blanche: Take advantage of grand spaces by experimenting with more complex art for your walls. Every painterly detail of this wallcovering has room to breathe while making a perfect conversation starter for salon soirees. 2 / Neutral Revival: There’s no need to compete with your illustrative wallcovering; instead of bold colors, opt for neutral hues, like the warm taupe textiles used throughout, from the plush carpet to the rattan on the ottomans and chaise lounge. 3 / Back to Black: Frame your dramatic wallcovering with equally rich curtains. Though simple, this inky alpaca drapery provides high contrast, while feeling very apropos with the room’s pattern. 4 / Fresh Legs: Such whimsical wallpaper deserves a few fanciful accents, like this simple pedestal side table, which certainly demands a second look with its distinctive bird legs.

Designer Suzanne Tucker brought some serious charm to this guest bedroom in Pacific Heights, thanks to bolts of her signature Carita linen print, swathing the walls in genteel bliss. 1 / Against the Grain: Walls are a great space to showcase your favorite fabrics used as sweet alternatives to more conventional wallcoverings. This particular linen offers a refreshed interpretation of a French 19th-century pattern. 2 / Clear View: Don’t hide your statement walls with towering accents; instead, create a clear sight line with low-slung furnishings. The simple curves of this upholstered headboard are demure enough to preserve the wallpaper’s visual impact. 3 / Bolt of Blue: Add dimension to your wallpaper by extending its palette throughout for a harmonized space. Every surface of this plush bedroom continues the blue-and-white theme, from the Arabesque matelassé fabric by Tucker on the coverlet to the headboard upholstered in Clarence House fabric from Kneedler-Fauchère. 4 / Period Piece: Pair your vintageinspired wallcovering with some other flourishes that recall your pattern’s design era, such as this chinoiseriestyle urn and the 19th-century Italian lamp on the nightstand.

Reminiscent of a dusky speakeasy, a striped wood-veneer wallcovering by Maya Romanoff makes the perfect backdrop to festive evenings in this Cow Hollow dining room designed by Jay Jeffers. 1 / Double Take: When it comes to wallpaper, there’s no need to stop at the walls—consider creating additional texture by covering the ceiling in a contrasting treatment. The dark-gray paper overhead in this space, for example, when paired with the warm wood veneer on the walls, creates a more intimate atmosphere. 2 / In the Mix: Play with pattern by pairing your wall with other textiles in different motifs. Here, the subtle prints of the Thomas Pheasant Collection dining chairs and diamond-patterned area rug inject dimension without competing with the wallpaper. 3 / Fine Finish: Add artisanal accents deserving of your exquisite walls; this modish Apparatus chandelier and lacquered blue buffet console by Jiun Ho Collection certainly bring some unadulterated glamour to the proceedings. 4 / Garden Variety: Lighten the ambience of your dark wall treatment with a bit of greenery. A pair of fig trees adds some much-welcomed lushness to the space.

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.

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.

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

TRENDS IN RENOVATION
McCUTCHEON CONSTRUCTION Berkeley | California | 510.558.8030 | mcbuild.com
When it comes to renovations, kitchens and master suites rank most popular, according to builders Leigh Genser and Michael McCutcheon, of McCutcheon Construction. That’s not to say more unique renovation requests aren’t part of the mix. “Bullet proofing and EMF (electromagnetic field) protection are the most unusual we’ve received,” McCutcheon says. While some clients make small changes that create a big impact, such as skylights in a stairwell, others take on whole-home remodels. But no matter the project size, the McCutcheon team first uncovers the driving factor behind their clients’ desire to renovate, then they offer these tips for renovation success: “Get a detailed budget and schedule from the contractor to monitor progress; and if you’re going to live there, make sure the contractor seals off work areas from the rest of the home and uses negative air machines to keep dust away,” Genser says. 1
MOST OVERLOOKED RENOVATION Basement renovations are often the best solution for adding square footage. The permitting is much easier than adding up or out, and there is a tremendous benefit because these renovations typically involve a new foundation, drainage system, and MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) systems, so the infrastructure of the home gets dramatically upgraded at the same time.
“High-quality design and construction are always in fashion and very popular with clients who have sophisticated tastes. Sustainable features will be around for a long time because they promote healthier homes and are good for the environment.”

Lagos credits the strength of the team for the firm’s continued success. “A successful project begins with an excellent team of professionals that works to achieve the best possible results for our client,” he says. “Inevitably, challenges will arise but with a strong team the process is smooth and efficient.”
We don't have a singular recognizable style, rather we respond to the context, client and environment of each new project. How do you stay abreast of new trends and styles? Lagos: I am constantly reviewing periodicals and websites. I also enjoy getting together with other professionals to discuss their current projects. Who or what inspires you most? Lagos: My family constantly inspires me to better myself. My wife is tremendously supportive and my children constantly ask, “why?” What do you like most about your job? Lagos: Delivering the best possible solution for my clients. I love the process of discovering my client’s needs and wants and then finding paths that exceed expectations. What projects have brought you the most satisfaction and why? Hopkins: I am most satisfied by projects in which the result transcends expectation; this occurs when client, architect, consultants and builders are all engaged in the collaborative process of discovery and design. How do you think your clients would characterize you? Hopkins: Collaborative, creative, thoughtful, good listeners; we often have sustaining friendships with clients after the completion of a project.

What is the soul of your brand? What drives your beliefs? Hopkins: Lasting value, creativity, asking more beautiful questions, a belief that thoughtful design can change a person's life. To design for others is a privilege and a responsibility, and we approach that very thoughtfully and seriously.

O
n any given summer day, the mercury can soar to more than 90 degrees in the vineyards of Dry Creek Valley, while it hovers steadily in the 60s in San Francisco. Those extremes help explain why a San Francisco couple and their three children sought a minimalist weekend house in the wine country—the polar opposite of their traditional colordrenched Edwardian in the city. “The house is an extension of the landscape and vice versa,” says landscape architect Gretchen Whittier, who collaborated on the project with Kate Stickley, both partners in the firm. “It was very much about the activity on the outside coming inside and blurring the lines between the two.” With Whittier and Stickley on the job outside, the couple turned to the same team—architect Stephen Sutro and designer Claudia Juestel—behind the renovation of their city house to work on the country concept. “In our San Francisco home, the rooms have bright, rich colors to counterbalance the foggy weather,” the wife says. “In this Sonoma County home, the drama and excitement are all outside, with the view and the vines and the changing seasons. We wanted to build a place that would celebrate the outdoors.” Modern architecture, with its clean lines and lack of ornamentation, was the natural choice to achieve that goal, says Sutro, who worked with the firm’s studio director
LX_SF15_HOM_Arterra_12.indd 228
Jenai Medina Bourke. “The owners wanted the design to be minimalist and clean, with natural materials, so it wouldn’t compete with the site,” says Sutro. But first, the duo had to figure out where on the 32-acre vineyard property to place the house. Using a 3-D model study of the land, they finally found what they were looking for: a hill in the northwest portion of the property. “There’s a wonderful view to the north, which was fantastic because the northern light is so beautiful,” says the architect. “Having that view is also the best because we’re not too worried about heat gain on that side.” That was important since the owners’ top priority was to build a passive house, with a design that would naturally keep cool. Sutro achieved this with elements such as deep overhangs, soaring ceilings clad with warm cedar, heavy insulation and plenty of cross ventilation. The architectural team positioned the house on the middle of the hill rather than on top, so that it would be more integrated within its surroundings and meet the area’s planning regulations. That option proved more complicated to construct for builder Danny Bernardini and superintendent Jeff Wollmer, as they had to remove 300 dump trucks’ worth of earth and build 15-foot-tall retaining walls to create a terraced niche for the two-level house and grounds. “We benched the site to nestle this home and patio area within the vines—it was a cool challenge,” Bernardini says.

Wollmer notes that they used the excavated soil to build a wide path for the construction vehicles; the vineyard maintenance crews still use the path to harvest grapes that are sold to local wineries. “It was important that all the material remain on site,” Wollmer says. The property played an equally important role for Juestel in designing the interiors. “The house has amazing views in all directions,” she says. “Our goal was for the interiors to be understated viewing rooms for the beautiful nature outside.” To do so, Juestel worked with a restrained material palette and kept color accents to a minimum. Inspired by “the changing hues of the leaves in the vineyards,” she says, “we narrowed the colors down to a fresh green and a yellow-orange.” Because the main public spaces are in one open area—marked by expansive sliding and folding glass doors—the curated palette keeps the design feeling cohesive. When it came to furnishings, the designer chose “simple sculptural shapes” and included vintage pieces and organic surfaces. She echoed the walnut kitchen cabinetry, for example, in the live-edge black walnut end tables and walnut coffee table in the living area. Wheeled dining tables (so they can move between the indoor dining area and the terrace outside at a moment’s notice) were locally made from reclaimed barn wood similar to the home’s exterior
cladding. The fabric used for an outdoor pillow comes inside to cover a fireside bench, while a creamy linen upholsters the living area’s sofa and armchairs. “Nothing is jarring,” Juestel says. “Everything flows.” That flow is always pointed outward, where Whittier and Stickley used grasses and other native plantings to frame the breathtaking views, making sure that none of the selections attracted pests or diseases that would threaten the surrounding grapevines. The wife also asked the duo to plant masses of roses and lavender “instead of a lot of different things.” The roses are especially appropriate because they are used in vineyards all over the region. “They’re the canary in the coal mine,” Whittier says. “They’re susceptible to the same pests as the vines, but they show damage much sooner.” The whole house encourages a connection with the landscape and a sense of relaxation, one that is encouraged by the couple, who mostly discourage their three children— and their houseguests—from using electronics while they’re visiting. “We wanted a simple getaway for our family,” says the wife. And that’s what it has become, as the pool, the surrounding gardens and long bike rides are the main forms of entertainment. The house, she says, has become a perfect base camp—“no muss, no fuss.”

SEA CHANGE AN INNOVATIVE DESIGN ALLOWS A STINSON BEACH HOUSE TO CONNECT WITH THE LAND AND ITS VIEW. WRITTEN BY TATE GUNNERSON / PHOTOGRAPHY BY PAUL DYER
W
hen guests receive an invitation to Kenny and Erin Werner’s home in Stinson Beach, their visit begins long before the sand is in sight. Often, the couple will have their guests first come to their main residence in Kentfield, which is about a threehour hike to the beach. “We give our guests a trail map and meet them out there,” Erin says of the spirited start to their stay. “You can hike over Mount Tamalpais and then drop down into Stinson Beach. It’s always a fun experience.” That kind of adventurous spirit and fondness for nature was evident as the couple set out to build their second home, which is located within the private community of Seadrift. No strangers to building—they had previously commissioned a remodeling and new construction in the area—the couple were excited to find a deep oceanfront property to start their beach retreat. They turned to their longtime architect, Steve Wisenbaker, a one-time Seadrift resident, who envisioned a dwelling that would offer indoor and outdoor spaces along with a strong connection to the beach. He also took into account the area’s strict FEMA flood-zone regulations, which ultimately played an important role in influencing the design. “Anything that is in an active wave zone has to be elevated,” Wisenbaker says, explaining that a structure behind the zone can be lowered to the ground, but cannot be connected to the elevated building. Following that line of thought, Wisenbaker developed the concept of dividing the home into three separate structures staggered along the site. After living in a previous 238 / LUXESOURCE.COM

beach home built on stilts, the Werners were eager for a stronger connection to the land and happy to exchange a single structure for the three distinct buildings. Wisenbaker positioned a guest casita at the street level, then another ground-level building with a family room and several bedrooms, followed by an elevated structure closest to the beach that has the main living areas and knockout water views. “You walk through a village of buildings with a series of indoor and outdoor spaces,” the architect says. “What’s wrong with being outside at the beach?” Erin, a landscape designer, took over when it came to creating the verdant connecting spaces between the buildings as well as establishing a gravel pathway, which meanders from the top of the property down to the beach and allows guests to bypass the family’s private quarters. “It was nice to have a path to circumvent the family spaces,” explains Erin, who paired spiky agave plants with meadow
grasses and other native plants on the site. “It’s almost tropical, so it was fun to play around with different kinds of greenery that I wouldn’t be able to use in Kentfield.” She also used large existing boulders to punctuate the landscape. Doors from the main rooms of the different volumes open onto the path as it weaves between the structures and concludes in a patio facing the ocean. “You find the sweet spot on the property, make it an outdoor room, and then prioritize the spaces in the house so they are visually and functionally connected to it,” Wisenbaker says. “The patio faces the south sun looking at the ocean, and the house protects it from the wind, so the climate is totally perfect.” The idyllic spot is finished with large concrete pavers, and a fire pit anchors a seating area. An in-ground hot tub provides an additional place for soaking in the ocean views. On the other side of the patio, a flight of stairs leads to the living room, dining room and kitchen, which are all

within the elevated pod. Above the entry, a cedar ceiling passes beyond the exterior envelope and works with the clerestory windows and large expanses of glass to enhance the sense of connection between the inside and outside. “You have this perch with an unbelievable view,” Wisenbaker says, noting the mitered corner windows of the front façade. “As you walk into the living room, the view just expands in an unparalleled manner up and down the beach.” According to builder Denny Kasten—who managed the construction of the residence through the eponymous company he owns with his son, Pete Kasten—incorporating the large expanses of glass in that space was only possible because of the heavy steel beams that his crew attached to baseplates. “Structural steel allowed us to open it up and make it look more free-floating than it would otherwise appear,” Denny Kasten explains, noting the lack of interior columns. “It was a reasonably complex house, but, as with
LX_SF15_HOM_Seadrift_14.indd 249
modern architecture, it seems really simple.” Rounding out the living room is a sleek custom fireplace surround, which is sheathed with a plaster tinted to match the concrete flooring in the two other structures. The fireplace’s clean lines are echoed in the furnishings, which were selected by Erin. “The beach is so beautiful,” she says. “We wanted to keep things simple and make it all about what’s outside.” She selected streamlined metal chairs to surround a wood table in the dining room, which is illuminated by a sculptural Moooi pendant. The space spills into the kitchen, which opens on the opposite side to the living room. There, Erin positioned Serena & Lily’s Hanging Rattan chair in one corner and a Room & Board sofa in front of the fireplace. Along the ocean side of the room, a built-in banquette runs the length of the wall, offering a front-row seat to the water views. “We’re so happy every time we’re out here,” she says. “We’ve been working with Steve for years on various projects, and with this one, he nailed it.”
The master bedroom, outfitted with a chair by Ethan Allen, faces the ocean and opens onto a patio appointed with RH furnishings. The outdoor space provides a connection between the bedroom and the elevated structure.

SMALL WORLDS SAN FRANCISCO ARTIST KLARI REIS COMBINES UNEXPECTED MATERIALS AND MICROSCOPIC INSPIRATIONS IN COLORFUL WAYS. WRITTEN BY YELENA MOROZ ALPERT PHOTOGRAPHY BY KRISTEN LOKEN
A
s you enter the San Francisco studio of Klari Reis, you’ll likely see her wearing a hazmat suit with a ventilation mask—looking more like a scientist than an artist. “It’s very hard to be distracted when those things are on,” she says. Often surrounded by hundreds of petri dishes, she might appear to be concocting some sort of experiment, and, in a way, she is—one that explores how color and form are manipulated by science. The results of her efforts lie in her signature petri dish works, which are installed in sets of 30-, 60- or 150-piece groupings. “I love the fact that each one is its own tiny world,” she says, “a finely detailed organism. I don’t think I could ever get bored with the process, or the results.” Using epoxy polymer plastic—a cement additive typically used to give floors their sheen, and the artist’s material of choice—Reis dyes the plastic with various colors before spooning, spraying or dripping it into petri dishes to create meticulous layers of cellular-like forms. Then, as the epoxy dries, she pops any bubbles with a blow torch or hair dryer and finishes each piece with special mounting hardware.

“IT TOOK A GREAT DEAL OF TRIAL AND ERROR TO GET THE EPOXY TO WORK WITHIN THE CONFINES OF A PETRI DISH.”
For her signature petri dish works, which have custom mounting hardware (above), San Francisco artist Klari Reis devises templates (previous pages) for installing the individual pieces in groupings of 30, 60 or 150. Playful sculptures (right) adorn her studio.

Reis (shown left creating mounting hardware for her petri dishes) also uses epoxy polymer in her large-scale pieces, such as Systemic Circulation (bottom), made with mixed media and epoxy polymer on aluminum panel. In-progress works (opposite) rest in her studio.
Although the pieces have a scientific bent, the artist actually found her medium through architecture. Before earning a master’s degree in painting and transitioning to art full-time, Reis launched her career as an architectural illustrator. While working on a project at the San Francisco International Airport, she came across epoxy and was intrigued. The artist began experimenting with the material, but it wasn’t until a personal encounter with an autoimmune disease that the seeds were planted for her cellular-inspired works. When Reis was ill, a doctor gave her a peek under the microscope, and she was fascinated to see how her cells reacted to the medications and the bright pink, orange, purple and blue dyes that showed up under the lens. Reis began exploring those images in her work, first as large-scale paintings and later within the petri dishes. “It took a great deal of trial and error to get the epoxy to work within the confines of a petri dish,” she says. While she still uses a microscope for inspiration, it’s not only pharmaceutical images that fuel her creations. She’ll examine everything from plants to paint chips to dust, and then often draw what she sees before trying to recreate the image in epoxy. In addition to the petri dish installations, Reis continues to explore micro-life in her larger scale pieces on both aluminum and wood panels. “I feel as if anything is possible in art,” she says. “It’s just amazing what’s happening in the art world today in terms of thinking outside the painting panel, and I think this philosophy can be related to all aspects of life.” LUXESOURCE.COM / 255

ON THE WATERFRONT TEXTURED MATERIALS, CUSTOM FURNISHINGS AND COMPELLING ARTWORK COME TOGETHER WITHIN A TIBURON HOME THAT’S BOTH GROUNDED AND EXPANSIVE. WRITTEN BY LAURA MAUK / PHOTOGRAPHY BY LAURE JOLIET STYLING BY YEDDA MORRISON
O
n a promontory north of the Golden Gate Bridge in Tiburon, a house was designed to be so woven into the landscape that it appears to be part of it. “My clients wanted to feel as connected to the earth as they could,” says architect Brooks Walker, who devised the modernist home as a family compound to host the residents’ immediate and extended families. “The architecture is a frame to allow that to happen.” Just as harmonious as the structure is with its surroundings, so too is the interior design with the architecture. “It was a close collaboration that looked to the land for inspiration,” says Nicole Hollis, the designer who furnished the rooms and worked with Walker to develop portions of the interior architecture and select finishes that speak to the wooded and bayside setting. “These clients love being on the bay and the idea of indoor-outdoor living. They wanted the interiors to flow seamlessly with the exterior.” The couple, who moved to Northern California from Hong Kong with their teenage son to be closer to family, expressed being drawn to modern architecture specifically. Starting in that direction, Walker sat with them and pored over images of buildings designed by midcentury masters such as Cliff May and Frank Lloyd Wright. “We also looked at the work

of William Wurster and Joseph Esherick,” he says. “Their designs have this absolute simplicity that I strive for in my own work because I want to create architecture that’s timeless.” Walker, who worked with project manager Anne Griffes and job captain Anja Hämäläinen, developed the concept for the residence as a series of low-lying rectangular forms that nestle into a hillside on the south side of the property and stretch toward the bay on the north, east and west sides. The central volume houses formal living and dining rooms and an open great room, which includes the kitchen and informal living and dining areas. Upstairs are the master suite and a second bedroom. Two connecting wings hold guest quarters. When it came to materials, Walker worked with a palette that included Aegean limestone, western red cedar, zinc and board-form concrete. “The stone helps to anchor the structure to the site,” says the architect, who used the limestone for both interior and exterior walls. “The roof is standing-seam zinc, and there’s zinc siding, too,” he says. “It will weather and develop a subtle patina.” The western red cedar siding adds warmth, while the board-form concrete of the retaining walls has an understated sensibility. Walker also used plenty of glass to let in sunlight and cinematic vistas
_LX_SF15_HOM_Chen_18.indd 258
of the bay. “It looks like the house was chiseled into the site,” says builder Glen Sherman, who worked with project manager Yun-Ju Cho. “The house stands firm, poised and is exposed widely to the water and expansive views.” For the interiors, Hollis, working with her residential studio director Adele Cunningham, created spaces that display a dynamic of-the-earth quality similar to aspects of the architecture. White-oak and bronze-and-glass cabinetry and Belgian stone counters supply refinement and rusticity in the kitchen, as do layers of varying textures employed elsewhere, including brass panels covering the formal living room’s fire surround. “The panels have a silver nitrate finish,” Hollis says. “It’s created by applying silver to the panels and then using a torch flame to achieve a live patina.” For the formal dining room, she commissioned a 2-ton cast-bronze screen by artist Michele Oka Doner. The piece has an organic aesthetic and calls to mind a kelp forest and the wonder of the bay. “It has a handmade feeling,” Hollis says. “I like things with a sense of craft or sleight of hand. They’re more soulful.” The light fixtures by Lindsey Adelman Studio in the dining room, a stairwell and the master bedroom exhibit a kind of idiosyncratic artisanship as well.
For a modernist house in Tiburon, architect Brooks Walker designed an Aegean limestone wall that extends from the exterior into the entry, weaving the indoors with the outdoors. Designer Nicole Hollis outfitted the space with a Liaigre bronze bench from De Sousa Hughes.

When it came to color, Hollis let the outdoors dictate the palette for the furniture and the fabrics. “I love color but find myself more immediately inspired by texture and materials,” says the designer. “There’s a lot of glass here, and we all agreed we wanted the landscape to bring in the color.” For the formal living room, the designer covered a pair of sofas with a dark gray silk-velvet to play off the water of the bay. A teak-and-leather bench designed by William Emmerson and a John Pomp cabinet with a brass top, a blackened-steel frame, ebonized ash panels, and glass-and-brass doors bring in brown and black tones that reference the earth and the bark of the trees outside. The design for this home is most certainly an exercise in the art of restrained beauty, which lets the scenery around it take center stage. “The rear garden is vast with panoramic views of the bay,” says landscape architect Todd R. Cole, who designed the grounds and worked with project manager Will Saltenberger and project manager
_LX_SF15_HOM_Chen_18.indd 264
and assistant designer Annie Amundsen while he was a principal at Suzman & Cole Design Associates. “We saved a few pine and oak trees along the edge of a bluff and planted a broad lawn that leads to an infinity pool and enhances the feeling of tranquility.” Toward the end of the project, Cole cofounded Strata Landscape Architecture, and Saltenberger and landscape designer Stephen Suzman joined Zeterre Landscape Architecture, and the two firms finished the project together. Although the epic setting is indeed compelling, so is the contemporary art collection the owners have curated to include works by Robert Rauschenberg, Xu Bing and Richard Misrach among others. “These clients requested a warm, open, modern home that would hold their extensive art collection,” Hollis says. “They have a minimalist and refined sensibility and are drawn to a materials palette that connects to the landscape. The house was created to support the art and the landscape and not to compete with them.”
