EDITOR’S LETTER
O
Pamela Jaccarino, Editor in Chief @pamelajaccarino
PORTRAIT: JOSHUA MCHUGH.
f the many experiences that shaped me when I was a young girl, becoming a Girl Scout was one of them. I started as a Brownie at the age of 7 before earning enough badges on my vest, and years of service, to graduate to full Scout. It wasn’t so much the selling of cookies or the camaraderie of being part of a girl troop that left an indelible mark. Rather, it was an outing ... my first hike in the woods. I remember it vividly. Being on the trail in a heavily wooded area on Long Island’s North Shore. The crisp air; the sound of my boots crunching the leaves as we all trotted in unison along the footpath; the texture of the tree bark and the way the sunlight dappled through. I absolutely loved it (truth be told, team sports were not my thing). To this day, my favorite outdoor activity is still a long hike in the woods. In this issue, we celebrate outdoor living in all its glory. Our editors take you from the beach to the tennis courts and also through some stunning gardens and bucolic grounds. As the Scouts always say, “Be prepared.”

EVOLUTION
INFLUENCED BY THEIR FORMATIVE YEARS, STATE-SIDE AND ABROAD, FIVE CREATIVES ARE EVOLVING THE DEFINITION OF AMERICANMADE FURNISHINGS AND ACCESSORIES. WRITTEN BY BRITTANY CHEVALIER MCINTYRE
W
hether their styles are historically referential or avant-garde, independent makers across the country offer a quality of design and innovation that stands on its own—one that speaks to a distinct spirit and pride of being locally produced and manufactured. These talents hail from different backgrounds and work within varying mediums, but share common ideals about craftmanship and artisanal values, which are redefining what it means to be American made.
Inspired by the great American woodworker, furniture maker and architect George Nakashima, Jonah Meyer designed Sawkille Co.’s Minna chair (left), Rainbow chair (right) and Orbit table (bottom left) with form and function in mind.
▲ SAWKILLE
Growing up in rural Pennsylvania with parents who were both involved in the arts, Jonah Meyer was drawn to a profession involving artistry and craftsmanship. Surrounded by a traditional landscape and instilled with a hands-on approach during his childhood, Meyer found himself continually crafting something new and often practical. After graduating from Rhode Island School of Design in 1993, he moved to the Catskills, opened a studio—which later became Sawkille Co.—and began making chairs, a self-admitted obsession. “It was always something I did on the side, and I consider it the ultimate challenge,” says Meyer. “Chair mechanics should balance cool design and ergonomics.” Working primarily with wood out of his Kingston, New York, studio, his process is as uncomplicated as the raw materials he uses by steering clear of computer programs and opting to sketch ideas the old-fashioned way. Next, he works with whatever is available at his fingertips—often plywood— to make his prototypes. Multiply this practice by five or six until the designer believes he’s landed on something “equally artistic and comfortable.” Adding his own twist to distinctly American styles, Meyer hopes his designs capture something original that people will recognize as his own. “It can be tough to produce at this level in the United States,” he says. “So, it’s really exciting to know that people think we are doing something interesting.”

MISSOULA, MONTANA Since his childhood, the Montana landscape has influenced John Greytak’s life journey. As a boy taking breaks from working on his family’s farm during the summer months, he would explore and scour the surrounding lands rife with natural elements. Fast forward to when Greytak was decorating his Montana lodge, he accompanied his designer to Tucson’s gem and mineral show where his love for the craft was rekindled, and his passion for a larger artistic purpose brought about the birth of Studio Greytak. “In elevating
these minerals and geodes to take a prominent place in homes, people can further appreciate the beauty nature provides,” says Greytak. All rare materials are sourced from six continents and brought to Missoula, where his team curates each gem to incorporate into furniture, objets and jewelry. After local artisans craft the accompanying metal, wood and glass pieces, the components return to the studio where they are assembled into “functional art.” Greytak’s greatest source of pride: “We are crafting these heirloomquality pieces in Montana—one of the most beautiful and inspiring places in our country.”

A modern-day textile couturier, Maki Yamamoto is known for her highly specialized work using sumptuous fabrics as her canvas. When studying fashion design at the renowned Bunka Fashion College in her home city of Tokyo, Japan, Yamamoto found herself simultaneously immersed in painting and drawing, passions which led her to seek further artistic training at the National Academy School of Fine Arts in New York City. “I always enjoyed fashion, art and design, so I wanted to do something where I could mix these together,” says the designer. And in 2003, she did just that—she merged her work as an artist and fashion designer by artfully embellishing luxury textiles with painterly motifs, modern embroidery, contemporary appliqués and handstitched details to adorn furnishings, lighting pieces, bed linens, drapery, pillows and art installations for her high-end interior design clientele. While her Japanese design background and penchant for traveling have played a large role in her work thus far, she also finds herself deeply moved by the long legacy of American craftsmanship. “I am very impressed by the extremely talented furniture and textile makers in the United States,” says Yamamoto. “Their techniques and passion inspire me greatly.”

▲ JOSEPH PAGANO
HUDSON VALLEY, NEW YORK “To me, the tradition of hard work to create something beautiful without taking shortcuts defines what it means to be American made,” says lighting designer and fabricator Joseph Pagano. Pagano’s studio and workshop in Hudson Valley, New York, where every element of his lighting designs, including the pieces’ fittings and hardware, is made
in-house, poignantly speaks to that belief. Upon graduating from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia with a degree in industrial design, Pagano moved to New York City and enrolled in a glassblowing class at The Experimental Glass Workshop, now known as UrbanGlass, and was immediately hooked. “The physicality of the material—the heat, the moving of the molten—and the endless possibilities really drew me in,” says the designer. Pagano’s latest
collection is influenced by the color, shapes and textures of nature, and his intention is to produce extraordinary lighting pieces that double as artwork. For the designer, years of experience has not only brought an advanced artistry of his craft and a full-scale workshop, but also a confidence in his creative instinct. “After 30 years, creativity flows out of me without interruption,” says Pagano. “There is no second guessing anymore; it is very rewarding.”
⊲ ESTUDIO PERSONA Emiliana Gonzalez and Jessie Young, the duo behind Estudio Persona, were only acquaintances when they lived in their home country of Uruguay. Little did they know that a move to the United States, both for their husbands’ work in film, would solidify their bond as creative compatriots. Gonzalez was originally trained as a product designer and Young as a conceptual artist, and after two years of working as interior designers together, the pair decided to morph their partnership into one that capitalized on both their disciplines and a shared passion for creating products. Informed by the brutalist architecture of its owners’ native country, Estudio Persona’s pieces are sculptural and muted in color, which helps to highlight the studio’s blending of raw and unexpected materials, such as metal and leather. Many of the local Los Angeles artisans that help fabricate Estudio Persona’s pieces are immigrants themselves, and this provides an enormous sense of satisfaction for Gonzalez and Young. “For us, it’s much bigger than just our work; it’s a human service,” says Young. “It’s amazing to produce products that support our local and diverse community.”

GOOD FOLK-INSPIRED DESIGN FLOURISHES IN TODAY’S DIGITALLY DRIVEN CULTURE. WRITTEN BY ALLISON MCCARTHY
Artisan. Small-batch. Handcrafted. From food to furniture, we’re intrigued by origin stories and desire a personal stamp on what we purchase. American folk art exemplifies these qualities; it’s emblematic of heritage and a homespun, handmade quality. Interestingly, in this hyper-fast age, we’re seeing its enduring design return to the scene. “The revival of American folk, just like the resurgence of the maker movement, is rooted in the desire for authenticity and story,” says Pamela Kelly, vice president of licensing and brand management for the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Artists and designers have been influenced by folk themes throughout the decades—from Picasso’s paintings inspired by African tribal masks and last year’s exhibit at the American Folk Art Museum in New York exploring quilts as living records of history to the recent partnership between Cassina and Calvin Klein. For the collaboration, Cassina debuted a limited run of its iconic Feltri chairs upholstered with heirloom Amish quilts. Raf Simons, the chief creative officer at Calvin Klein, refers to the chairs as a “cultural correspondence,” where modern design meets a symbol of American culture. Folk-inspired designs are not only a way to preserve traditions and cultures, but also a means to pause, reflect and reconnect to a slower, more intentional way of life in today’s fast-paced world.
larsentextiles.com
“People are taking the time to appreciate attention to detail, embrace the handmade, and honor the voices of American folk crafts,” says Rachel Doriss, design director of Pollack Studio. For its spring 2018 Undaunted Collection, Pollack partnered with Santa Fe’s Museum of International Folk Art to create 11 fabrics inspired by pieces from the institution’s extensive textile archive. Each Undaunted pattern features original elements reinterpreted in a contemporary way. Text Message, for example, was inspired by 19th-century samplers used to practice embroidery. “Our take is a woven sampler with letters and motifs using weaving terms,” says Doriss. “From afar, it looks like a sample, but up close, there are hidden messages and even emojis.” Artist and designer Kiva Motnyk founded New York City’s Thompson Street Studio with a similar philosophy. Inspired by the tactile quality inherent in folk art, her modern application of traditional textile techniques—weaving, knitting, quilting—helps keep crafting traditions alive. “It’s inevitable in a technological society that people will return, from time to time, to what is personal and authentic,” she says. Excited to see the revival of folk-inspired design in homes imbued with a new energy and vision, Motnyk thinks it’s a natural way for artists to collaborate and share their cultural histories as creatives working in America. For his modern Americana-style interiors, Portland-based designer Max Humphrey pulls in folk-inspired elements to infuse personality into spaces using pottery, tramp art frames and quilts that lend character and context to otherwise neutral backdrops. “Folk has a broad appeal because people are inspired by things made by hand right here in America,” he says. “It’s timeless because it’s symbolic.” In a sense, folk-inspired design is a tool to communicate and preserve stories of craftspeople and communities from the past in a way that’s relevant to our current culture—and that never goes out of style.

HEATH CERAMICS AND SHERRILL MANUFACTURING TEAM UP BRINGING SOPHISTICATED FLATWARE TO THE TABLE.
WRITTEN BY ELIZABETH HUEBSCH PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEFFERY CROSS
There is something to be said for finding the right fit, especially when it comes to honoring a design brand’s legacy. So, when the Sausalito, California-based ceramics and home goods company Heath Ceramics was looking for an American manufacturer to round out its tabletop offerings with its first-ever flatware line, it discovered exactly who to turn to: Sherrill Manufacturing. “We have a deep affinity for companies with heritage and for those remaining when all others have gone elsewhere,” says Heath Ceramics co-owner Robin Petravic of Sherrill.
Sherrill, founded by Matt Roberts and Greg Owens in New York in 2005, is now the only flatware brand making its products in the United States—an enormous source of pride for its founders. “We grew up in this community,” Roberts says. “And we’re survivors.” Despite the nearly 3,000-miles between the two companies, “we walked hand-in-hand down the path together,” he remarks. The result is a five-piece cutlery collection called Muir, the first of three flatware designs by Heath Ceramics (the last two lines are set to launch later this year). The pieces—two forks, two spoons and a knife—honor both brands’ history and devotion to American craftsmanship by showcasing a timeless and humble design with smooth edges, elegant lines and a satisfying grip. Heath Ceramics and Sherrill challenged each other’s perceived limits of manufacturing and design, producing a collection that reflects its shared values and honest spirit committed to craft. “It’s not just about design—it’s also about respect for materials,” says Heath’s Studio Director Tung Chiang, who collaborated with Roberts on the collection. Through their partnership, Chiang learned of Sherrill’s nearly 20-step manufacturing process and the significance of a special tool: a tumbling
To create its new Muir flatware line, Heath Studio Director Tung Chiang first sketched the pieces and then carved wooden models, which Sherrill Manufacturing reproduced in metal (above). Historical designs and vintage flatware samples adorn a wall in Sherrill’s archive room (top).
mechanism built by the company that lends a distinct matte finish to the pieces. The Muir Collection, available in polished or tumbled finishes, was designed to accompany Heath Ceramics’ founder Edith Heath’s original Coupe dinnerware designs—another nod to an enduring legacy.

ANYON X ELYSE GRAHAM AND ANYON X ALICE TACHENY
HOTEL TRITON
When interior designer Liubasha Rose revamped the Hotel Triton, she had no idea her team would unearth a historic treasure. Demolition revealed a lobby mural by Persian impressionist Jon Oshanna depicting the Mission Dolores, dating back to the 1940s. “We felt like archeologists uncovering a rare artifact,” Rose says. “As if it were meant to be, the mural fit perfectly into our plan.” The redesign of the hotel’s lobby and guest rooms merges the Danish concept of hygge with artifacts from around the globe. Using the mural as its centerpiece, the lobby features a Bardiglio marble floor, wood ceiling beams and a selection of art and worldly pieces. In the guest rooms, key elements draw from Frette linens, Carrara marble and custom furniture. hoteltriton.com

Anyon, an award-winning home design boutique and gallery on San Francisco’s tony Sacramento Street, recently launched two product collaborations between founder Lindsay Anyon Brier and artists Elyse Graham and Alice Tacheny. “Both artists work by hand and use unassuming materials to create exquisite pieces,” Anyon Brier says. She reached out about working together on collaborations exclusive to Anyon’s atelier and, much to her delight, both artists happily signed on. Inspired by the Northern California landscape, the collections feature color palettes and compositions best suited to each medium—resin for Graham’s Blithe Collection (shown, top) and concrete for Tacheny’s ombré Cori bowls (shown, above). “With Graham, I suggested a Pantone color theme and then we did a sampling process over several months to really home in on the end result,” she says. “And I love the idea of Tacheny’s severe architectural objects that are ‘dipped’ in color in a way that softens them.” Each limited-edition collection is available in-store and online. High on the success of her work with these two artists, Anyon Brier recently embarked on a passion project of her own. The Vintner Collection, a set of books dedicated to the world of fine wines, evolved out of her love of Wine Country and conversations with Juniper Books founder Thatcher Wine and San Francisco photographer Michele Bell. “We worked with Bell to translate her Napa landscape images to the book jackets, and I named the set,” she says. “This one is very close to my heart.” anyondesign.com 084 / LUXESOURCE.COM
“THE SEA RANCH: ARCHITECTURE, ENVIRONMENT AND IDEALISM” Developers have long coveted the rugged California coastline as a prime location to build mansions for the wealthy, but the architects and designers behind The Sea Ranch—a planned community north of San Francisco—had a different idea in mind: modest homes, a network of trails, shared vegetable gardens and recreational facilities. Conceived in 1964, the neighborhood is on view at the SFMOMA through April 28, exploring early concepts and detailed plans centered around an appreciation for art, architecture and living lightly on the land. The show includes original sketches, designs and site studies, but the highlight is a full-scale architectural replica of a 600-square-foot lofted unit designed to sleep 10. While never fully realized, the Sea Ranch vision still serves as a model for progressive living today. sfmoma.org

Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s installation work provided a new understanding of scale, medium and accessibility, forming a lexicon beyond previous perceived notions. Completed in 1983, Surrounded Islands (shown) stands as one of the most poignant public works of the century; the pair wrapped 11 islands in Miami’s Biscayne Bay with floating pink polypropylene fabric. The work spanned 7 miles and could be seen from land, water and air, boldly displaying the impact of man-made creations on the aquatic world.

Photographer, sculptor and land artist Robert Smithson was fascinated with the concept of landscape as art. Spiral Jetty, one of his most well-known works, is 1,500 feet long and 15 feet wide, and composed of 7,000 tons of mud, salt crystals and basalt rocks. Constructed in 1970 and configured in a counterclockwise spiral in Great Salt Lake, Utah, Smithson’s work is still intact today. Seen here in a photograph taken by David Burdeny in 2017, this formation is an artful reminder of the significance of preservation in art and nature.

Located along Interstate 15 in Nevada, Seven Magic Mountains is not your run-of-the-mill roadside attraction. Set amongst a scenic landscape of mountains, desert and Jean Dry Lake, the grouping of seven 30- to 35-foot totems enveloped in dayglow hues can be seen for miles. According to Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone, the particular location of the work, along the highway connecting Los Angeles and Las Vegas, is physically and symbolically significant of the relationship between the natural and man-made.

LLOYD FLANDERS OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK
Lloyd Flanders offers 23 distinct collections in a broad range of styles, from traditional to contemporary. Whether a luxury-scale sectional or porch swing, there’s something for every outdoor space. While different regions of the country follow different trends, Lloyd Flanders’ furniture stays consistent with three key elements common in every design: timelessness, comfort and functionality. “Our furniture is built to last, and to be used as much as possible,” president and CEO Dudley Flanders says. Central to this is Flanders’ proprietary Lloyd Loom wicker—a natural-fiber wicker that features long-lasting, high-performance Durium polyester coating for outdoor durability and flexibility. Thus, the furniture withstands full exposure to the elements—sun, rain, even snow—with minimal maintenance. “Vacuum or use a soft brush on woven material and cushions to remove organic material and loosen surface soil, then rinse with a mild detergent and clean water; it’s that simple,” says Warren Juliano, senior vice president of sales and marketing, regarding the line’s trademark ease of care.
INSPIRATION IN THE DIGITAL AGE Consumers have access to an endless supply of design inspiration at the touch of their fingertips. This has created a desire for customization, from mixing and matching materials to unique fabrics and finishes. Our Lloyd Loom products are available in 19 finishes and over 400 fabrics, so the digital age has really helped boost our business.
1. The Hamptons chaise, shown in White, comes in many finishes: Almond, Antique White, Charcoal, Chocolate, Ebony, Ivory, Platinum, Sage and others. 2. The clean lines and comfort-scale seating of the Catalina Collection, here in Hickory, create an effortless home oasis. 3. The Mesa Collection, made of woven vinyl, is shown here in a Pecan finish.

SURPRISING REQUESTS Believe it or not, some of the most popular client-driven requests when it comes to outdoor spaces today include motion pieces. Rockers, swivels and even recliners have grown in popularity over the years. 2

SITTING PRETTY
When designer Ariella Duker of A-List Interiors bought 10 1/2 acres in New York’s picturesque Hudson Valley, she didn’t imagine that months of building delays on the property’s main home would mean designing the pool house first. “The estate is beautiful in the summer months,” Duker notes, so the pool area quickly became the focus. While originally the design of this space had been simpler and more seasonal, the structure is now built for year-round use and features a sophisticated scheme with an elegant kitchen for entertaining as well as a boho bath that adds to the eclectic feel. alistinteriors.com We love the global influence. The design and decoration certainly have a European flair: from the boxwoods and espalier trees framing the outside of the stucco structure to the antiques inside I’ve amassed over time. I like to think of this as country French in upstate New York. Even the bathroom feels international! I wanted the pool house to be both grand and casual at once.
How did you approach the kitchen? My hope was that it would feel less like a traditional kitchen and more like an entertaining space. Handcrafted English cabinetry with antique brass mesh reaches the 10-foot ceilings and it’s so nice to be able to keep seasonal items here. The dishwasher was also very important as it makes entertaining easy and, luckily, I have enough space to store an extra set of glasses and dishes. The kitchen really makes hanging around and lounging by the pool that much more relaxing! Clockwise from top left: A corner bench from the Brimfield Antique Show sits under an architectural triptych. The small but mighty kitchen holds a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, Monogram ice maker and Shaws Original sink by Rohl. Walker Zanger tile decorates the floor of the bathroom. 152 / LUXESOURCE.COM

The bathroom is such a jewel box. Where did you begin with this space? I fell in love with a salvaged door from a Moroccan riad and knew it would work perfectly for the bathroom entrance. From there, it was about mixing this distressed piece with a more high-style mosaic tile on the floors. While this room is small, it covers everything you need and encourages people to not go traipsing through the main house in wet bathing suits.

THE LATEST DESIGN TRENDS TO TRANSFORM YOUR LANDSCAPE INTO AN OUTDOOR OASIS.
WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRITTANY CHEVALIER MCINTYRE AND MARY ORE
GREEN ESCAPE A garden is a manifestation of its creator, reflecting one’s personality and passions. Just like how architectural elements, such as coffered ceilings or moldings, are added to interiors to reflect an owner’s style, the same attention to detail should be given to exterior spaces. Components of outdoor architecture—walls, paths, pergolas, gates, lighting, furnishings, waterworks and art—together form the backbone of a well-designed estate. Whether your preferred aesthetic is a well-kept topiary garden using traditional plantings or a freespirited mélange of natural flora, there are various structural elements—fabricated and organic—that contribute to properly planned greenery. Exuberant or contemplative, these spaces prove that inspiring architecture extends well beyond the walls of the home and into the great outdoors.

Pavilions are an alternative way to provide shelter or act as an ornamental feature in landscape design. Unlike a typical gazebo, deconstructed structures with an exposed architectural framework, like this wrought-iron pavilion designed by architect Douglas Wright, who worked with LaGuardia Design Group and landscape designer Edwina von Gal, offers formality while allowing clear views to the Southampton, New York, property’s surrounding dogwood trees, Myrtle ground cover and a shallow reflecting pool. laguardiadesigngroup.com

SPHERE of INFLUENCE
Drawing on materials long favored by architects as well as artists, including stainless steel, copper, bronze and stone, British sculptor David Harber creates dazzling artworks that react to and engage with their natural setting. Geometric pieces include Matrix (right), created from bronze hoops and inset with decorative plates of 23 3/4-karat gold. Dark Planet (far right) features an assemblage of hundreds of irregularly shaped puddle stones—“raw nature transformed to geometry,” the sculptor notes. davidharber.com
“A bench is a principal element to organize an outdoor space, making a garden into a room,” says McKinnon and Harris cofounder Anne Massie, who, with her brother, Will, turned to some of the company’s earliest designs, inspired by the Regency style, to create this Otey four-seater piece. The graceful diamond lattice back carries hints of chinoiserie, and the white hue offers a bright contrast to surrounding greenery. “There are so many ephemeral things in a garden, and a bench, like architecture, is the one thing that is unchanging,” says Will. mckinnonharris.com

WIT AND WHIMSY
PYRAMID POWER Inspired by an 18th-century folly in Yorkshire by English architect John Carr, known for his imposing Palladian structures, the Needle’s Eye rises from a pond at Winterthur’s entrance. Like the sandstone original—designed to settle a wager about whether the Second Marquess of Rockingham could drive his coach through the eye of a needle—the floating pyramid features an ogee door and is topped with a finial in the shape of an urn.
TURKISH DELIGHT The influence of the Turkish Empire on English decorative arts coincided with the fashion for follies, resulting in exotic structures such as this bright pink tent. Fabric with hand-stitched details and a block-print pattern encloses a cozy interior full of plush seating—the perfect shelter from rainfall during a ramble through the grounds. Winterthur’s original owner, the late collector and designer Henry Francis du Pont—who helped Jacqueline Kennedy renovate the White House—developed the gardens on the 1,000-acre estate in the early 20th century and incorporated various follies into his plans.
RUSTIC REFUGE For a simple summer house, massive American beech stump pillars support a bundled beech twig roof, all from trees on the estate. Grapevine and bittersweet vine serve as rafters, while stacked slices of birch stumps form an appealing pattern on an interior wall. Inspired by a folly at The Royal Gardens at Highgrove, the retreat of Prince Charles, this wee picturesque structure is totally green.

TAKE shelter
In his first book, The Art of Outdoor Living, California-based landscape designer Scott Shrader showcases the bucolic grounds of 12 properties as extensions of the homes they surround. Shrader shares his tips for creating inviting alfresco spaces. shraderdesign.com What qualities should every outdoor area have? With seating, lighting and shelter, a garden can become another environment for living and entertaining. Typically, people feel most comfortable when they have some form of covering overhead, such as a steel trellis or a grid of old olive trees (shown above). Why is that? It is often overlooked as commonplace, but the much-needed shade produced by a tree’s branches provides its visitors with a sense of warmth and protection. Any specific tricks to share? Wherever there is seating, I make sure it faces a beautiful view.
THE LOOK / THE REPORT
To create the ultimate dramatic entrance, landscape architect Jarrod Ryan Baumann incorporated more than 2,800 succulents into a glorious vertical teak garden gate that opens to a Bay Area residence. The composition—an eye-catching arrangement of varietals in a range of shades and textures—blurs the line between nature and architecture in an innovative way. “Our designs tend to be very architectural,” notes Baumann, who used the gate to set the tone for the architecture and greenery within. “We see the landscape as both a structure and piece of land that we sculpt into something brilliant.” zeterre.com
9HOT seats
Believed to have been carried over from Buddhist garden tradition of using natural elements like tree stumps as seats, garden stools have been a part of the Chinese furniture tradition for 1,000 years. Handmade of ceramic using old-master finishes and techniques, the Durian Garden stool (right) and Magnolia stool (far right) are both hand-glazed and uniquely feature a range of decorative motifs like foo dogs, magnolia blooms and simulated nailheads. Not only do they provide great versatility as a side table or extra seating, but they also add that much-needed pop of color or texture to any interior or exterior space. dennisandleen.com

PASSION PROJECT
When landscape architect Janice Parker was given the opportunity to reinvigorate Altracraig, a historic estate in Ridgefield, Connecticut, initially designed by Ellen Shipman, one of the most accomplished garden designers of the early 20th century, it was an opportunity she couldn’t refuse. Here, Parker gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her work on this historical space. janiceparker.com With your passion for history, this project seems like a natural fit. I’ve always been inspired by the long line of creative and hardworking American female landscape architects who were innovators and trailblazers, especially Ellen Shipman, who broke the mold. She was a single mother from a less affluent background compared to others in her field. What was your vision for the estate? My client’s overarching goal was to preserve the historical nature of this property and return it to its earliest grandeur. With few existing records of the original garden and only one image from a postcard, I let Shipman’s design principles be my guide while adding my own modern perspective. Where did you begin? Working with architect Sean O’Kane, certain structural items, like the balustrade (shown above) and lower fountain, were restored to acknowledge the traditional architectural elements. In addition to the lush geometry and vibrant colors that define the plantings, I followed Shipman’s landscape principle of “enclosing” the space to make it similar to a garden room. Using hedges, necklaces of large trees and arches, I tried to weave in that classic sense of garden enclosures. How do you want visitors to experience the space? With the garden’s historical charm, versatile functionality and contemporary design, I want people to feel the magic of blending the past, present and future together, and not really know where they are.

SUNSET WEST 760.599.1021 | sunsetwestusa.com | @sunsetwestusa
According to Wes Stewart, CEO of Sunset West, today’s homeowner is moving away from matching outdoor furniture sets in favor of separate, yet cohesive and complementary, items. With a product selection boasting resin wicker, aluminum, wrought-iron and teak furnishings, as well as Sunbrella fabrics, Sunset West enables the consumer to tailor each piece to their individual tastes. As for his advice to homeowners beginning an outdoor project, Stewart says, “Do your research. What do you want your completed project to look like and how do you want it to function? Oftentimes, furniture is an afterthought to the contractor and people find themselves settling for a product they can fit into the space, rather than purchasing the product they wanted.” 1
Sunset West was founded on the idea that choice, style, comfort and quality need not be in the stratosphere when it comes to price. 2
OPEN-AIR FURNISHINGS: A CONVERSATION WITH WES STEWART Keys to a well-designed space? Scale and proportion. It should also have furniture in a style commensurate with the surroundings. Favorite product? That’s tough and space-dependent, but right now, my favorite would be our Coronado collection. Tips for proper upkeep? Furniture covers are probably the single best thing you can do for your pieces. The second best would be to dust off your cushions monthly and clean them yearly.
1. & 2. Transitional lines and a beautiful driftwood finish define Sunset West’s newest aluminum collection—Laguna. It works in many different environments, from sophisticated, contemporary beach homes to the casual decks of a favorite weekend retreat.

TRAILSCAPE 530.852.5155 | trailscapeinc.com
In the eyes of Randy Martin and his team at Trailscape, a home’s outdoor living environment doesn’t end with the patio. Through the creation of trails, the firm enables its clients to explore the full extent of their property, from back door to forest’s end. And while the establishment of a trail may seem simple, Trailscape approaches the process with an abundance of detailed planning through which it strives to optimize the experience for those traversing the path. “I love the way a trail directs a person’s eye,” Martin says. “When there is something interesting to see, we will often use the trail to give them a peek, generating curiosity, and then deliver the view through a window of oak branches. Then, we will pull them away from the view and present it again from a different perspective. The trails are about what occurs on them: the deep conversations, connection to the land, time spent with loved ones, and the delight of one’s heart and soul.”

Our trails meander like a ribbon through the forest.
TRAILS ARE ALSO A FIREBREAK While offering the property owner a way to take part in recreational, fitness and social activities, Trailscape’s creations also serve a more serious purpose: protection from forest fires. “With all of the fires we’ve had lately, we have discovered that our trails can make for a great firebreak,” Martin says. “Through these, firefighters are better able to create fire lines.” One client’s feedback says it all: “Your trail saved our home.”

hen Dr. Nadine Burke Harris sat down with architect Andrew Mann to describe the vision she had for her family’s weekend home in Sonoma County, she didn’t talk about what she wanted the place to look like. Instead, she described how she and her family live on the property and how they want to feel while there. Mann was charged with remodeling the house belonging to Nadine, a noted pediatrician and author, and her husband, Arno Harris, a clean power and transportation entrepreneur. The primary goal was to create a retreat where the family, which also includes four children, could slow down and enjoy themselves. “We have incredibly busy lives with many pulls on our time and attention,” Nadine says. “The way we wanted to spend our time in this house is simple: swimming, cooking, eating, gardening, drinking wine and hanging out with the kids.” It was Mann’s job to translate the desire for a life unplugged into an architectural reality. Thankfully, he had an inspired jumping-off point—the original house is a classic midcentury style abode set on 5 rolling acres planted with orchards, vineyards and gardens. Some elements had aged gracefully, such as the home’s iconic sawtooth form, soaring shed roof and tongue-and-groove wood ceilings; while others, including a cramped, isolated kitchen and a mustardcolored master bathroom, were painfully out of fashion.

In the dining room, an Eames lounge chair and ottoman in classic black leather is backed by windows that span the space from the floor to the ceiling and provide an ideal spot for unplugged repose. Black leather also covers the chairs from HD Buttercup.
“The dated elements felt completely out of character with the rest of the house,” says Mann, who worked closely with designer Katie McCaffrey and general contractor Ken Sawyer during the renovation. “We wanted any changes that we made to accentuate the drama of the home’s shape.” To that end, Mann reconfigured the U-shaped layout of the kitchen by removing a wall separating the space from the dining room and living room and creating two runs of counters centered around a marble-wrapped island. Modern, flatfront cabinetry (both bright white and smoky gray) replaced the previous craftsman-style cabinets that didn’t connect with the modern nature of the rest of the house. The island’s marble appears again in the countertops and the backsplash, where it’s bisected by a series of stainlesssteel open shelves designed to keep essential ingredients close at hand. “Nadine loves to cook,” observes McCaffrey. “And with a large family, many guests and an incredible vegetable garden right outside, this space is used often.” Now that the kitchen is open, it enjoys light and views from the dramatic, original windows that run from
the floor to the highest point of the shed roof in the dining room and living room. The branch-like brass chandelier seems to mirror the trees seen outside the windows as it floats above a long dining table and a new hardwood floor. Beyond, in the living room, a leather sectional embraces both the view and the large hearth and is generous enough in size to accommodate the whole family plus guests. McCaffrey says that adding the new elements to the vintage home was done with care. “Their philosophy is that this is a place where children can be children,” she says. “That said, these are sophisticated people.” The clean, contemporary lines of the furniture complement the couple’s style as well as the architecture. As lovely as the built environment is, it’s designed in deference to the outdoors and the extraordinary gardens that ring the property. Bursting with flowers, fruits and vegetables, the landscape received a nurturing overhaul by Mann—who created the hardscape—as well as landscape designer Christa Moné, who was responsible for the plantings.
Statuary honed Calacatta marble cascades over the island in the kitchen, which Mann opened up to the main living space during the renovation. Flat-front cabinets replace craftsman versions that Mann and the clients felt didn’t relate to the home’s midcentury architecture. The round table is from Room & Board and the dining chairs are from HD Buttercup.

The highlight of the garden is the vegetable-ringed outdoor dining pavilion, a straightforward structure Mann elevated with elegant details. “I wanted it to be evocative of agrarian buildings, but bring it up a notch,” says the architect, who crowned the building’s shed roof with a graceful lattice. “The dappled light the structure provides and the richness of being able to see the sky beyond it turns a simple building into something a little more luxurious.” Mann also included ceiling mounted heaters and misters, to ensure a comfortable experience day or night, summer or winter. As a result, the family spends the majority of their time out in the gardens, pavilion and pool.
“We created this interactive oasis that they can explore and enjoy with their kids,” says Moné, who has been working with the family over the last five years to refine the gardens based on their needs. “This year we doubled the size of the strawberry beds because their youngest son just started walking and loves to wander around and pick berries.” Nadine describes the space as a place where the family comes together. “Arno makes pizza from scratch every weekend. The kids help—they pick arugula, Sun Gold tomatoes and figs straight from of the garden and toss them on,” says Nadine, who requested a wood-fired oven in the outdoor kitchen. “The team created something that is not just beautiful, but exactly how we envisioned living. It’s our joy.”

The outdoor dining table from Shed is lined with Caprice chairs from Room & Board sporting red nylon seats. Mann designed the structure with an alfresco kitchen and a pair of sliding barn doors that conceal a large pantry.

The guest bedroom is a light-drenched aerie, which McCaffrey complemented with a bright yellow Comback rocking chair by Patricia Urquiola for Kartell and sunny soft accents, such as linen pillows from Wisteria. Nubby gray carpeting by Stark was selected to mimic the pebbles in the driveway outside.

t’s not unusual to find someone immovable in front of a piece by San Francisco artist Carrie Ann Plank. Her mandala-esque ink-on-paper prints tend to have a soothing, ruminative effect on viewers, who become mesmerized while deciphering the many layers of dots, lines and squares found within each. “I like the art to have an element of subtlety,” says Plank whose studio is in the historic Hunters Point Shipyard artist community. “I don’t want the prints to be immediately digestible.” Considering that the origins of her art arise from complex mathematical formulas—such as the Fibonacci Sequence that’s said to govern everything from the dimensions of the Great Pyramid of Giza to the spiral shape of a nautilus shell—the likelihood of grasping everything contained in just one of Plank’s works is improbable. But the New York native, whose artistic path began during a college printmaking course taken to alleviate the rigidity of the pre-med track she was on, grants us all a reprieve: “The provenance of the information isn’t always important,” says the artist, whose large-scale prints and wall installation of more than 50 magnetic paper-on-wood forms is currently on display at Dzine Gallery until April 26. “I’m more interested in the aesthetics of the data and how it becomes a visual language.” Charting things like wave patterns, sound sources, magnetic fields and number sequences happens first on graph paper. The designs that emerge are transferred to a piece of plywood, then hand-carved into the surface with small knives—the imperfect nature of the artist’s hand in this printmaking matrix is an important counterpoint to the calculus. “Before I even print anything, the raw labor definitely brings out any kind of obsessive qualities I may
have,” says Plank, who often works in a large-scale format. “I’ll admit, the work is very satisfying on that level.” Once several matrices have been carved, Plank experiments with printing them in different ways on different presses. When she settles on an approach, she custommixes transparent colored inks and uses rollers to apply them thinly to the wood. Paper is then placed on the inked surface and the press is used to apply tremendous pressure to transfer ink from one surface to the other and a pattern— ink, paper, press, repeat—is established. “I love layering sheer veils of color and overprinting with multiple woodcarved blocks to build up to a complex image,” she says. In January 2018, Plank left her longtime post as the director of the printmaking program at the Academy of Art University to dive full-time into her studio practice. Since then, she has been incredibly prolific. Coincidentally (or not), the numerical sequences upon which her “Annuli,” “Pullulate” and “Germinate” series are based, govern growth patterns in nature. “I’m definitely experiencing a personal evolution,” she says. Her work is evolving as well as she tries new techniques. As Plank used to tell her students: “There’s an opportunity to learn from art that doesn’t pan out,” she says. “I’m really embracing risk-taking and discovery in my work.”
Squares of wood (top, left) contain complex patterns artist Carrie Ann Plank carves by hand. During the printing process, thin layers of paint are added (top). On the printing press, designs on the wood squares are transferred to paper (above). Once printing is complete, the images are mounted to circles (opposite).

A Charles Arnoldi painting is a highlight of this San Francisco living room, where designer Alison Pickart placed a quartet of Holly Hunt swivel chairs around an Atica table by Damian Jones from Coup D’Etat.

hen designer Alison Pickart spied a glass-and-metal fire screen by French artisan Christophe Côme, she knew she had found the design inspiration for a San Francisco condo remodel. Her clients—who were starting life anew in the city after years spent living in the suburbs—were equally enamored with the roundel-studded piece, and it set the bar for the furnishings that followed. “We couldn’t just pick any dining room table or sofa,” says Pickart. “Every piece had to be the most special version of what it needed to do.” But first, Pickart and architect Stephen Sutro needed to reshape the Pacific Heights penthouse into something worthy of that ideal while preserving and enhancing views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Save for the scenery, the residence had little to recommend it. The space was plagued by narrow hallways and low thresholds, so Sutro consolidated all the utilities in one space, allowing for more gracious 9-foot-high doorways and wider passageways. “You couldn’t see many of the north-facing windows because there were walls in the way,” says the architect, who collaborated with project architect Karen Moy. “We introduced a more open, contemporary layout that allows you to see through the entire space.” And while those refreshed interiors embraced openness, the spaces outside the front door still had smaller, 1920sera proportions. The task of negotiating furnishings and materials through narrow spaces fell to general contractor Andrew McHale. “The service elevator was 5-by-3 feet, so most items had to be picked up by crane and brought in through the windows,” says McHale. “The delivery of everything had to be timed to perfection.”
Glittering elements in the living and dining areas include the brass panels on the Gateau console by Scala Luxury, the sculptural legs on the Hudson Furniture live-edge dining table and the hand-rolled brass on the Aquitaine TwoTier chandelier by Coup Studio. The Holly Hunt chairs also have brass bases as well as Great Plains upholstery. A painting by Charles Arnoldi hangs to the right of the window, which frames views of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Along with the designer, architect Stephen Sutro helped place every piece of artwork, including the painting of oranges in the breakfast nook. A custom banquette covered in Manuel Canovas fabric is positioned at an ideal vantage point for enjoying sweeping city vistas. The sculptural HÊlène Aumont table is from Hewn, and the Halo pendant is by John Liston.

In the kitchen, the design team book-matched the veining of the Calacatta Royale marble from Integrated Resources Group so it travels up the walls and over the waterfall edge of the island. “We templated every inch of surface that was to be covered in slab and mapped out how the vein would move around the kitchen,� says Pickart, who placed stools by Kelly Wearstler along the counter.

For the owners, who started married life in a New York City apartment before moving to a traditional Mill Valley home, returning to the city was a full circle moment. “For our next chapter, we wanted a grown-up space that was fun and with a strong urban feel,” says the wife who, along with her husband, is a patron of several local arts organizations. “But I was concerned that contemporary could feel cold,” she adds. She needn’t have worried. “I took my cues from her aesthetic,” says Pickart, who was determined to create a modern interior with elegant finishes that didn’t feel austere or untouchable. Raw ivory silk on the walls in the majority of the common spaces and a butter-colored faux suede in the master bedroom handily set a welcoming stage. Vertical grain fumed-oak cabinets provide another layer of warmth along with visual consistency in the revised
open floor plan. “The cabinet design is modern but the wood itself is a soft natural element,” says Pickart who, in collaboration with the architect, also placed the artwork as they were developing the interiors. Flanking the spare marble fireplace wall, for example, the architect-designed recessed bronze mirrored walls that allow paintings by Russian artist Ilya Zomb to pop. Similarly, the intentionally blank fireplace surround allows the Côme fire screen to be the star. Ever mindful of keeping the bar high when it came to furnishings, Pickart led with serpentine Vladimir Kagan sofas, a bronze mirrored coffee table and a live-edge dining room table perched on four bangles of polished brass. “Metals became part of the program,” she says, pointing to the zinc stove hood, recessed bronze cabinet pulls and the bronze door in the bar area.
Wood flooring by Tree Lovers Floors continues the warmth of the custom fumed-oak cabinets fabricated by Evan Becker of Boxcabco. The undermount stainless-steel sink is by Kohler, the faucets and pot filler are from Waterworks’ Henry Collection, and the window covering is by Shade Inc.
In the master bedroom, Phillip Jeffries Suede Lounge wallpaper from De Sousa Hughes is the backdrop for a Dmitriy & Co bed upholstered in Sandra Jordan fabric from Shears & Window. The bedding is by Leontine Linens, and an Apparatus light fixture hangs above a Gregorius Pineo nightstand.
The sheen continues in the console composed of three shades of goatskin parchment lacquered to a high shine and set with polished-brass accents. The element is more than pretty; it delineates the living and dining room spaces while concealing a television. As Sutro explains, “The television lifts up and rotates so if can be seen from the four swivel chairs or the eating area.” That same level of craftsmanship continues in the breakfast nook where a circular, brass and glass light fixture by John Liston illuminates the table without impeding the view. Likewise, all the pieces in the main living area are scaled low to emphasize the vistas. The wife professes a love for dresses and flowers, and the master bedroom with its patterned draperies and
pink-and-white linens is a fitting homage to her tastes. “It is feminine, but not in an off-putting way,” says Pickart, noting the room bridges the gap between their former suburban home and the new modern apartment. “The draperies are actually a blown-out abstract of a traditional pattern and the waterfall skirt on the contemporary Gregorius Pineo chairs gives them a classic silhouette.” This mindful merger made for happy homeowners who thoroughly enjoy their adult city digs and never lose sight of what is out those windows. “It’s a quiet, elegant, magical space,” enthuses the wife. “We start every morning in our gym and end every day looking at the Golden Gate Bridge and watching the sunset.”
For continuity, the vanity in the master bathroom has oak cabinets and marble countertops similar to those in the kitchen. “The geometric wall tile is fabricated by Fox Marble,” says Pickart. “It’s the same stone that we used in the kitchen, but we didn’t book-match it, so its veining creates a different pattern and shakes things up.” The sconces are from The Urban Electric Co.

F
or Kathryn and Andrew Collins, it was a best-case scenario: a newly built house wearing the classic detailing of San Mateo’s vintage homes, but with an open layout and generously scaled spaces that make it ideal for a young busy family. The couple loves historic homes but they possess a personal style that’s fresh and modern—an aesthetic they share with their designer, Emilie Munroe. “We have a common design language,” Munroe says of her clients. “The house has traditional elements, but with a collected, layered feel. It reminds me of fashion icon Jenna Lyons’ style. She’ll wear classic designs but with sequins sewn on.” The homeowners purchased the Dutch Colonial-style house as the drywall was going up, allowing Munroe to incorporate crisp details with unexpected flourishes within architecture inspired by homes in the surrounding historic district. General contractor Greg Gambrioli, who worked with residential designer Tim Raduenz of Form + One to create the residence, says that nearby homes (many built in the 1920s) provided inspiration for classic elements such as decorative corbels under the eaves, a gracious trellis and diamond-paned windows. “It was very important for me to do the ‘X’ detail in the windows, like one of the homes I saw in the neighborhood,” Gambrioli says of the distinctive pattern. “I love the craftsmanship and those kinds of details.” Although she joined the project toward the end of construction, Munroe was able to tailor the interiors. “We loved everything Greg was doing,” Munroe says. “I added to that (and had a blast) by picking out the elements that are special to the clients.” Those items include personality packed items such as lighting dripping with porcelain LUXESOURCE.COM / 205
In the formal living room of a San Mateo home, designer Emilie Munroe selected a LawsonFenning Montebello sofa, which makes a color statement with Clarence House fabric. A pair of chairs with brass frames, also by Lawson-Fenning, are covered in Jerry Pair leather.

beads, kitchen hardware with backplates that make a statement, bold colors (think deep-blue built-ins in the study) and wallcoverings (like the chic grass cloth in the master bedroom) that are framed within Gambrioli’s oversize moldings and coffered ceilings. One of the most important spaces was Andrew’s office. “He works a lot of hours,” Kathryn says. “After years of working at the kitchen table, we wanted to make it a really special place, a sanctuary.” Munroe responded with a room that’s detailed like a man’s suit, with a plaid rug and walls covered in Italian wool. The custom walnut desk has internal sockets and cord storage, so its beauty is unhindered by the messy business of technology. “It was really exciting for Kathryn and me to collaborate with Andrew on this space—it had a fun energy around it because of that,” the designer says. Throughout the home, bold, modern details mingle with softer, classic elements. Munroe animated the blackpainted trim on the windows with charcoal and gray accents throughout the main living areas. “We love adding dark accents to homes, and this project is a great example,” she says. In the sun room, a ladylike space adorned with a leafy patterned wallpaper, a delicate light fixture hangs from a sky-blue ceiling. It’s adjacent to the foyer and living room, where the more tailored profiles of a clean-lined sofa and marble cocktail table dominate. In the casual areas to the rear, a stylized gray floral pattern covers the dining room walls and black basket pendants hang over the kitchen island. “That kitchen could have felt more formal, but the oversize scale of those lights makes it unexpected,” Munroe says.

Munroe explains that the mix of color, pattern and natural materials distinguishes each space, yet allows them to complement one another in the open floor plan. “The goal is to have stone, metal, leather, glass and woven elements in each room,” she says. She adds that “little pops of happiness” are injected into the mix—such as the emeralddipped mudroom and a powder room papered in a riotous pattern of fruit and foliage. In addition to those joyful notes, the designer adds moments of nature via houseplants. “I call them interior sculptures,” Munroe says, noting that she chooses each for leaf shape and color tone. “They bring softness. They’re an essential part of a complete design for any home, especially because they integrate the interiors with the outdoors.” Outside, landscape designer Sarah Small took charge of the long, narrow lot with structured plantings all around. “It was a design to reflect the nice, tailored architecture,”
Small says. Low, clipped boxwoods and lily of the valley shrubs line the front façade’s foundation, “so you can still see all the architectural lines,” she explains. More boxwoods, hydrangea, rose bushes and flowering vines— all in a restrained green-and-white palette—march around the rest of the house. “As you’re in the house and looking out, you have a nice sense of the garden moving all the way around,” Small says. “The whole garden is meant for each window to have a nice view.” Munroe added attention-getting exterior details to energize the ensemble—including a lipstick-red door, a cheerful red-and-white mailbox and an inviting porch swing. “Those are playful moments,” she says, adding they provide just the kind of welcome you’d expect from the Collins and their two young children. “Emilie correctly interpreted our young family’s energy and style,” Kathryn says. “It’s fun, modern and interesting—and not generic.”
Opposite: Raoul Dufy’s distinctive La Foret wallpaper for Christopher Farr Cloth inspired the sun room’s design. “This is the jewel of the house,” Munroe says. A pair of the homeowners’ wing chairs are placed to take advantage of the room’s many windows.
