EDITOR’S LETTER

On set with Liaigre’s Shelter armchair.

FURNITURE A Love Story

My first furniture crush was a Philip and Kelvin LaVerne Chan coffee table, which I spied in the home of my great uncle at the tender age of 9. I stood in awe, taking in its patinated bronze, pewter and enamel village scene and octagonal bronze base with blue-enamel inserts. That table certainly kicked off my deep affection for all things decorative... and quite possibly nudged me toward my future career. Philip and Kelvin were father-and-son creative collaborators who fashioned exceptional art pieces that were incorporated into furniture. Their dedication to craft and original design is something to be admired.

This issue of Luxe is our love letter to furniture, and those tenants that we value most— craftsmanship, collaboration, originality and heritage. When you’re next out shopping for furnishings to add to your home, make it something special that’s created with great care and attention—a piece that may even impress a curious 9-year-old.

Pamela Jaccarino, Editor in Chief @pamelajaccarino

PORTRAIT: WILLIAM AND SUSAN BRINSON.

Where is that Chan table today? It sits handsomely in my father’s living room. I still have my eyes on it… this heritage piece of art that helped shape a life.

RADAR FURNITURE A Love Story

Luxe explores the tenets of fine furniture making—craftsmanship, collaboration, originality and heritage—through the lens of four companies championing them anew.

LX_COM30_Radar_Opener.indd 79

RADAR / CRAFTSMANSHIP

Golden TOUCH

Nearly two centuries into business, each Rinck design still begins with a hand drawing, as seen in the walnut and nickel armchair (shown), a star of the new contemporary collection. “At a time of disposable consuming, we need to go back to made-to-last products with meaning,” says Vice President Valentin Goux.

WITH ITS NEW CONTEMPORARY COLLECTION, RINCK CELEBRATES A SINGULAR LEGACY OF HANDICRAFT.

Amidst the bustle of Paris’s 12th arrondissement sits an iconic atelier and within it, a trove of hand drawings dating back 180 years. Spanning styles from Napoleon III to Art Nouveau and Louis XV, Rinck’s design archive is an unwitting history of French furniture. In the age of iCloud storage and CAD renderings, the monumental collection presents an anomaly, but then, so does the company it chronicles.

A true ensemblier décorateur, Rinck is the only French furniture and fabrication company still designing and manufacturing in-house today. Its eponymous watercolors and coated paper sketches are the first indication of an emphasis on touch-of-hand that guides each creation from seed idea through finished product—an ethos echoed in its outposts and reverberated by leadership. Notes Valentin Goux, the second-generation vice president of the family-run firm, “We believe our designers need to be able to draw to understand proportion and scale, and that’s not about to change. Artistic drawings are still of utmost importance.”

With three ateliers—one in Ardennes dedicated to cabinetmaking and one in Drôme for boiserie and millwork, in addition to the Paris design headquarters—Rinck’s specialties run the gamut from marquetry, veneers and gilding, to latticework, ornamental carving and trompe l’oeil. Employed throughout the workshops is a network of master craftspeople, some disciples of classic cabinetmaking schools and others from Les Compagnons, the Medieval-rooted, UNESCOprotected group of artisans who train in the field in towns across France. With design and build talents under the same roof, each piece becomes a dynamic meeting of the minds. “Once we get to prototyping, the designers work with the craftsmen weekly to refine the designs and make them perfect,” shares Goux.

While Rinck’s intimate, tactile approach stands as testament to handcrafted tradition, the company is ever looking forward in both execution and creative vision, evidenced by its sleek new contemporary collection—the first modern ensemble in 50 years. Spurred by an off-the-cuff conversation over a team lunch, a beloved 1930s sycamore table was unearthed from the archives, in turn inspiring a full dining room suite of table, armchairs, side chairs, console and sconces. Edging on modernist in gleaming French walnut and black nickel, a dash of Rinck’s token classicism is still evident in the foliateembossed velvet upholstery. “It’s very 19th century, but in a fresh way,” notes Goux. “These are the kind of pieces you keep for generations.”

It Takes TWO ARTIST SUSAN HABLE REFLECTS ON HER LONGTIME PARTNERSHIP WITH HICKORY CHAIR. AS TOLD TO MICHELLE BRUNNER / PHOTOGRAPHY BY PATRICK HEAGNEY

Ten years ago, our family pulled up stakes, left New York City, and settled in Athens, Georgia.

At the time, the economy was in peril, and we wondered: How are we going to refocus our textile brand, Hable Construction, and deal with the changes? Simultaneously, Hickory Chair was looking for new ways to innovate. The timing was right, so we came onboard to create its first designer fabric collection.

We had been making textiles for a few years, but to grow as a company, we knew we had to expand—and I thought we should try creating a furniture collection. My sister and business partner, Katharine, and I love to see the inner workings of things. That curiosity is at the core of everything we’ve done. I knew furniture would be no different.

I always think of the saying, “ask for what you need,” which is such a good reminder in life. Positive things have come out of transition periods for us. Hickory Chair was nearing its 100th anniversary in business, and wanted to keep pushing forward. (I think that’s the key to its success.) In 2015, we launched our first furniture collection, and with it, I tried to create foundation pieces that we could add to later. I approached it like building a house—after all, if the bones aren’t good, what’s the point?

We’re now on our third collection, and when I look at it, I see a range of influences: Scandinavian, Italian, Shaker and American Primitive, to name a few. The pieces are layered and unpredictable. As I get older, I think about how my home reflects who I am and the places

I’ve been. There are stories in every piece. It’s not just furniture to me.

I wasn’t trained as a textile or furniture designer. My work started because I’m a fine artist.

The only way my sister and I knew how to commercialize my artwork was to turn drawings into patterns and patterns into textiles and then make products. That fine art connection shows in the new hand-painted pieces for Hickory Chair. Whatever custom finish you dream of, the company can do.

Relationships are everything in this business and the partnership with Hickory Chair has been one of equal give and take—you can feel that with the people and see it in the craftsmanship.

If we artists can collaborate with companies that are thoughtful in the same ways we are, it makes it all worthwhile.

ARTICLE

LIAIGRE’S CREATIVE DIRECTOR FRAUKE MEYER ON CREATIVITY AND THE VALUE OF ORIGINALITY. WRITTEN BY MAILE PINGEL

If there is one piece that encapsulates Liaigre’s polished yet independent spirit, it is the brand’s sculptural Nagato stool inspired by Constantin Brancusi’s “Endless Column.” The iconic work, originally created by Christian Liaigre in 1986 from a solid piece of oak, was recently reinvented in a limited-edition bronze with a smooth black patina and wood print—a look that is at once brutalist and refined. “We rarely draw from our archives, and privilege fresh creative reflection for each project. Yet this piece combines minimalism and poetry, elegantly entering the domestic sphere,” says Liaigre’s Creative Director Frauke Meyer.

As with the refreshed Nagato stool, independent thinking has been at the core of every piece since the company’s inception in the 1980s—and that’s what defines Liaigre. “My aim is to emphasize our French and Parisian identity, in which everything is well thought out, structured and finished, while still encouraging disruption, surprises and a break from the expected,” says Meyer, who likens the brand’s creative process to that of iconic fashion houses, such as Dries Van Noten, Azzedine Alaïa and Pierre Hardy. “We believe beauty is found through special attention

LX_COM30_Radar_Originality.indd 84

“It is important to interpret designs to fit into the context of current times,” says Liaigre Creative Director Frauke Meyer, an approach evident in pieces such as the Orient Suspension lamp (top, left), Touareg bench (center) and recently reissued bronze Nagato stool (bottom, right).

to ergonomics, usability and the touch and feel of materials exuding texture, comfort and luxury.”

Unmoved by imitation designs, Meyer says it is the company’s strict attention to detail and proportion that set it apart. “The creation of each Liaigre design requires skill from expert hands,” says Meyer. “Whether brushed, sandblasted wood or full-grain leather tanned in France, the mastery of the craft is present throughout the production of each piece or architectural element.” A case in point is Liaigre’s lacquered panels and furnishings, where the finish is applied in as many as seven layers to achieve just the right sheen. This notion is also apparent in the brand’s sourcing, which involves employing “tree hunters” to discover the finest wood material from French forests. From inception to finished piece, Meyer attests: “Luxury is affirmed in every detail.”

STICKLEY REVITALIZES AMERICAN ARTS AND CRAFTS FURNITURE FOR A NEW GENERATION. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER / PHOTOGRAPHY BY STEPHEN S. REARDON

For more than a century, Stickley has made high-end hardwood furniture and fine upholstery. Now, with Director of Design Marissa Brown at the creative helm, the company has expanded to include fresh takes on the Mission look, as well as a midcentury-inspired line. Here, Brown describes how the brand’s history and devotion to craft informs her work. How do you honor Stickley’s heritage while moving the needle forward? I try to stay true to the company DNA and the components of a Stickley piece: the square spindles, the use of reverse taper leg details and the exposed joinery. One thing that inspired me was the ability to make furniture out of solid wood construction with techniques that have been used since the Stickley brothers were alive. Moving the brand into the future was about respecting that, while developing forms that felt more current in proportion.

Playing with iconic shapes must have been intimidating at first. It was scary; the pieces are perfect! It’s like trying to alter a Steinway piano. The horizontal and vertical components are so important in Mission-style furniture, but how do you modernize the look? I didn’t want to lose sight of what made them work, but I also wanted to soften them a little. You’ve mentioned that a trip to Hans Wegner’s studio was formative to your career. How does Danish design influence your work?

I love the sculptural aspect of the Danish makers. During that era, woodworkers put so much thought into creating designs that not only looked good, but functioned beautifully. I like integrating those ideas into Stickley—that pieces should float in a room and be enjoyed from 360 degrees. We hear something new is coming for spring…Yes! This April at High Point we’re planning to debut a curated group of eclectic pieces. While designs are still evolving, the idea is to open up an offering of single items that use new materials and are interesting objects in their own right.

On your wish list? The dining table from the Walnut Grove collection. I have three daughters, so I’d love to have pieces that will become family heirlooms.

“FRIDA KAHLO: APPEARANCES CAN BE DECEIVING”

When Frida Kahlo died, her husband, artist Diego Rivera, locked her belongings away in a room in their home, La Casa Azul (now Museo Frida Kahlo) in Mexico City. In 2004, that room was reopened and many of Kahlo’s personal items were rediscovered. Visitors can see some of these pieces up close at “Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving” at the de Young Museum from March 21 to July 26. Like her art, Kahlo’s iconic style was an expression of her creative voice. This intimate exhibit—which includes 30 photographs, 20 vibrant Tehuana costumes from Kahlo’s wardrobe and hand-painted orthopedic corsets, alongside paintings and drawings—offers an extraordinary window into the artist’s world. Kahlo had a special place in her heart for San Francisco, which greatly influenced her art; while visiting the city, she painted a double portrait of herself and her husband, for the first time depicting herself in a Tehuana-inspired dress—the garment that would become key to her self-created persona. deyoung.famsf.org

THE INSIDER San Francisco designer Andrew Kudless, whose work has been exhibited around the world, is now also the first American designer to have created a piece for the Louis Vuitton Objets Nomades collection of limited-edition furniture. His creation, Swell Wave Shelf—polished oak shelving held by leather straps—made its debut at Design Miami.

Here, Luxe chats with Kudless about his process and the inspiration behind this piece. matsys.design How would you describe your Objet? Pulled in opposite directions yet completely in equilibrium, the shelf represents a balance of forces: between movement and stability, new and old, and hard and soft.

What inspired it? I wanted to explore the concept of travel. I travel in order to experience new things: sights, smells, tastes, etc.

This experience of leaving the familiarity of home is unsettling and invigorating, as it opens us to the unknown. As you travel, you’re pulled between the appeal of the new and the comfort of home, the rush of movement and the 082 / luxesource.com

endless waiting, the desire to go and the inertia of staying.

Why did you choose the materials you did? There is an inherent beauty and individuality to natural materials such as wood and leather. The variations in grain, color and texture reflect our differences and uniqueness in the world. In addition, I needed materials that best represent and communicate the forces flowing through the piece. The leather straps are strong yet pliant, while the wooden shelves are simultaneously stable yet appear to be in motion.

CURATOR The local art scene is electric right now. Currently there is a variety of music, art and cinema getting a lot of national attention.”

BARDESSONO HOTEL & SPA Planning a Napa Valley escape? Consider Yountville’s idyllic Bardessono Hotel & Spa, which has unveiled an exciting addition: its new Maple Grove Villas. The luxurious private oasis comprises three spacious, light-filled villas—Flint, Jaspe and Quartole—all with natural, earth-inspired decor.

Each has a living room with a fireplace, dining room, king bedroom, spa bathroom and a courtyard with a private spa plunge pool. Each can be enjoyed individually or as a three-bedroom retreat. All Bardessono guest rooms are designed as spa suites, where tailored treatments—from facials and massages to an essential oil bath or a private yoga session— can be enjoyed in privacy. And while the hotel may be known for its sleek, luxurious design, it also treads gently upon the earth: It uses salvaged wood for its doors, flooring and walls, for example, and has incorporated other green building initiatives. bardessono.com

Designed by Studio O+A, the 10-floor building offers a different experience on each level, from a desert plain vibe on the ground floor to a mountain summit feel at the top, a concept that stemmed from CEO Stewart Butterfield’s penchant for exploring the wilderness and was based on the premise that each new work project is a process of discovery. Cacti and baked earth tones nod to the Baja desert on one floor, while others take their design cues from volcanoes, glaciers and streams. slack.com

THE BRIGHT WAY 90 YEARS OF AMERICAN ARTISTRY

OVER THE PAST NINE DECADES,

Bright Chair has established itself as a home for dedicated artisans who practice their time-honed skills without compromise.

Founded in 1927 and acquired by the Gottlieb family in 1963, Bright is one of only a handful of family-owned and -operated companies producing traditionally crafted furniture, all made in America.

In 1963, Bright moved into its own facility in Middletown, New York, allowing it to begin the important step of manufacturing frames and controlling all aspects of production.

This vertical integration provides complete control of production, affording the versatility to customize to meet client needs and delivery requirements, while still offering attention to detail and assured quality control.

“This is my house, but it was built on my father’s foundation,” says Bright Chair President, Stan Gottlieb. “And if my grandfather, the first of four generations in furniture, who came over from Europe as a master craftsman, walked through our plant today, he would not find our process unfamiliar.”

Initially producing only commercial furniture, Gottlieb joined forces with furniture designer Douglas Levine in the 1990s, and together, they expanded the product offerings to cater to the executive suites as well as the residential market. As the residential side of the business grew, it gave rise to the birth of The Bright Group at the turn of the century. “For the first time, we opened a showroom specifically aimed at the residential market, which is quite different from where we came from. People want to see and feel the furniture in context alongside other ancillary offerings like lighting and case goods,” Gottlieb says.

With this evolution, Bright began creating strategic alliances with manufacturers that shared its mantra—independently-owned and -operated American companies producing only highly crafted, quality products.

Today, The Bright Group represents 21 lines and has four showrooms across the United States—Boston, Chicago, Dallas and New York, as well as alliances with other premier showrooms in territories throughout the United States and abroad. Attention to detail and exact tailoring have become hallmarks of a piece of Bright furniture. Run your hand over one and you’ll know—it’s the feel of great tradition with a most modern sensibility.

Functional and deliberate, outdoor spaces are where most people spend their highly valued, quality free time. Thus, comfort is a vital component of any outdoor design … and a feeling captured perfectly with Lloyd Flanders furniture. “All of our designs are adapted to the increasingly casual lifestyle and the desire for comfort with generous seats, plush cushioning, the incorporation of motion, and the latest performance fabrics and hardware,” president Dudley Flanders says. Using state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and equipment, combined with more than 100 years of tradition and furniture knowledge, Lloyd Flanders produces the finest American outdoor furniture. Key to preserving their revered, heirloom quality is proper material selection and upkeep. Of the latter, Warren Juliano, senior vice president of sales and marketing, offers this tip: “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.”

“Combining the best of the old with the improvements of the new yields heirloom-quality furniture.”

PROFESSIONAL TOUCH “Hiring a professional is important to make sure that the best materials are chosen for the right environment,” says vice president of sales Bryan Echols. Outdoor furniture is made from a wide range of materials that vary significantly in quality and durability. It’s vital to choose the right material for the particular climate. Professionals are also adept at maximizing the usage of a space. Many outdoor areas serve a variety of functions, so the furniture and accessories need to be flexible, whether the main purpose of the area is entertaining, relaxing or dining.

SKY AGLOW

NORTHERN LIGHTS, MAGNETIC NORTH POLE

For a dramatic display of the Northern Lights, head to the Nordics and parts of Alaska and Canada to see bright colors illuminate the night sky. The Aurora Borealis starts when the sun releases charged particles that react with gaseous atoms in the Earth’s atmosphere. The gas, shifted by solar wind, dictates the vibrant hues that dance across the sky— neon greens emerge from low-altitude oxygen molecules and blues and purples result from nitrogen. Consider multiple trips: No two spectacles are the same.

INNER CIRCLE NAMIB DESERT, AFRICA

How do miles of mysterious rings of vegetation come to cover the dry ground of southern Africa’s Namib Desert? Folklore believes these ‘fairy circles’ to be footprints from the gods, while scientists cite the desert’s complex ecosystem for the peculiar markings.

Regardless of how they got there, the repetition of spherical shapes creates a hypnotizing, polka-dot like motif, giving those with a bird’s-eye view an expansive, visual reminder that curved lines are always ‘in.’

ICE, ICE BABY BANFF NATIONAL PARK, CANADA

7

A contradicting play of fire and ice takes place in Alberta’s Banff National Park as winter sets in. When the lakes freeze over, bubbles rising toward the surface are stopped in their tracks. These particular bubbles are full of methane—the gas is emitted by bacteria living below the surface after consuming organic matter—and highly flammable if released near an open fire. Undisturbed, these frozen forms provide a study in motion and, more importantly, show how stunning science can be.

Soaring mountaintops are a feast for the eyes, but the Zhangye Danxia range in northern, central China boasts a particular beauty with brilliant stripes of reds, pinks and oranges—appearing as if the façade was painted with a brush. The effect is the result of some 24 million years ago, when deposits of sandstone and other minerals formed these intentional-looking layers. Combined with desert conditions, wind and erosion, the rock formations are regarded as one of the most beautiful landscapes in China.

SWIM SEASON A picturesque pool house becomes a family’s destination for year-round entertaining. Architect Louise Brooks of Brooks & Falotico walks us through the project. brooksandfalotico.com How did you decide on the location of the pool house? The pool already existed, and the area looks out to beautiful rolling hills, so we were set from the beginning on where we were going to construct the pool house. Even though it’s only a two-minute walk from the main house, it very much feels like a destination for the clients, a family with four children. They feel like they’re on vacation when they go over there.

What was on the clients’ wish list? The homeowners really wanted a full working kitchen here, meaning a refrigerator, range, dishwasher, microwave and sink since they use it often throughout the year for everything from Super Bowl celebrations to sleepover parties.

Since it’s meant for entertaining, I wanted to keep the kitchen design straightforward with as little maintenance and upkeep as possible.

We actually started with the creamy man-made countertops that can weather any storm or family gathering, and the rest of the scheme stayed in a similar neutral palette.

We love the bright and airy ambience.

The demand for indoor/outdoor spaces continues to grow and, in this case, I went with retractable doors and big windows that stay open during the warmer months for a light and fresh effect. I also chose materials that are very durable and aren’t precious.

We kept finishes to a minimum and the entire kitchen is soft, open and very welcoming; it’s all about bringing the outside in here.

St. Charles New York, the maker of luxury kitchens, has launched its first-ever kitchen collection consisting of three curated series that incorporate a distinct variety of finishes, woods, hardware and paint colors. Creative Director Karen Williams notes that “as kitchens have evolved from back of house to the most significant rooms of the home, the choices have become endless and overwhelming,” but the ultimate goal of this new program is to demystify the kitchen design process for the client. Shown is STC No. 1, which draws on the brand’s rich 85-year-old design history while simultaneously ushering in a more minimal, sleek style. stcharlesnewyork.com

DIVE INTO NATURE FROM THE COMFORT OF HOME. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY GRACE BEULEY HUNT

THE GREAT INDOORS With each spring comes the desire to reconnect with the natural world. But rather than restrict the approach to the shifting seasons, we’re taking a year-round perspective to living with the outdoors.

After all, ecotherapy is known to have restorative benefits, so why silo its riches?

Here, we uncover a panoply of evergreen inspiration, from immersive architectural details and honest materials to magical spaces that blur the lines between indoor and out—like this bedroom by designer Lindsay Chambers, which seemingly floats like a lily pad above a saline pool.

INTO THE WOODS

For a Seattle couple who requested that their home feel like a virtual walk in the woods, DeForest Architects imagined a glass-and-blackened-steel structure cantilevering over the forest floor, canopied from all sides by evergreen trees and boasting postcard views of the Puget Sound. Recalls designer Andy Beers of Ore Studios, who later guided the “treehouse” through interior finishes and furnishings, “What was astonishing about construction was that when drywall went up, it changed the character of the house very little: It continued to feel like you were outside. And even though you’re floating and surrounded on all sides by glass, there’s a real sense of coziness and privacy.” deforestarchitects.com; orestudios.com

EASY BREEZY INTO THE WOODS: HARIS KENJAR PHOTOGRAPHY. EASY BREEZY: SAMUEL FROST. CLEAR VISION: COURTESY PETRA PALUMBO.

When tasked with outfitting a mintcondition screened-in porch in New England, the husband-and-wife design team of Jesse Carrier and Mara Miller adopted a less is more approach to celebrate the simplicity of its comforts—namely, shade, breeze and verdant views. Where the custom Groundwork table from Mecox Gardens offers a literal interpretation of bringing the outdoors in with its whitewashed tree trunk base, a zinc top and complementary DWR resin dining chairs keep the scheme both contemporary and stalwart. Of the considered mix, Carrier shares, “We wanted to pay homage to the home’s original Victorian architecture, while also addressing the owner’s desire for a more modern look and family-friendly materials.” carrierandcompany.com

CLEAR VISION “You can’t escape the weather when you live in the Scottish Highlands,” says Petra Palumbo. “It’s in your face, all-consuming, ever-changing, extreme and unbelievably beautiful.” This reverence for Mother Nature is evident in the U.K.-based homeware designer’s collections both in motifs and mission. Take, for example, signature pieces like the crystal orange jug and tumbler (shown), which are made to order, hand-painted in natural inks and shipped in recycled packaging. “We take a holistic approach to sustainability,” says Palumbo. “We are certainly not perfect and have many areas we need to refine, but it’s a start.” petrapalumbo.com

While a rarity stateside, solariums are a cultural mainstay in Europe. Inspired by spaces enjoyed during frequent travels throughout Switzerland and Germany, a couple asked their longtime designer, Christina Roughan, to devise a glass addition off the back of their home in Greenwich, Connecticut. A collaboration between Roughan Interiors, Argus Development and Jones Byrne Margeotes Partners, the immersive enclosure features three walls of bi-fold doors with remotecontrol screens, and an open-concept furniture scheme fit for lounging, dining and entertaining in every season. “Last Fourth of July, it hosted guests for fireworks and during the winter solstice, the family will watch old movies and stargaze,” says the designer, adding, “It’s quite impressive to watch TV while lounging upon a heated floor and enjoying snow falling all around you.” roughaninteriors.com; argusdevelopmentllc.com; jbmparch.com

PAST PERFECT

On a hillside cradling Tennessee’s Pickwick Lake, Asheville, North Carolina-based firm Carlton Edwards fashioned a winter garden room for enjoying the dramatic vista. Drawing inspiration from great American lake lodges built in the 1930s and ’40s, textured fieldstone masonry and turned timber columns were employed to lend a nostalgic feel. But where the architectural envelope channels woodsy encampments of yesteryear, modern comforts abound in details like ceiling heaters, a steel-clad fireplace, and lowslung, slipcovered furnishings, which mingle with insouciance amongst indoor plantings. Notes firm Design Director Jeff Edwards, “It’s a nod to the past, but a rustic, modern interpretation. We wanted the room to feel warm and inviting—like an old friend.” carlton-edwards.com

The long VIEW Scandinavia has long been recognized as a leader in sustainability—a concept embraced as a lifestyle rather than a catchphrase. So, who better to turn to for a lesson in green living than the fourth-generation owner of Dinesen, Denmark’s 120-year-old premier wood flooring company?

“The core of our business is the excellent raw wood, and that commits us to constantly making an effort to use the material in the best possible way,” says owner Thomas Dinesen. “We are fully aware of the effort that precedes the tree before it reaches our hands.” dinesen.com

past perfect: sarah bell-sélavie photography. the long view photos: courtesy dinesen.

WRITTEN BY HEATHER CARNEY

⊳ FOREST THROUGH THE TREES In an era of speed and convenience, Dinesen takes a refreshingly measured approach. “The logs we get are typically between 80 and 200 years old,” says owner Thomas Dinesen, adding that it requires generations of foresters in France and in Germany’s Black Forest (shown) to nourish trees for the resulting floor boards and wall paneling. Plus, he adds, “You only cut trees when it is beneficial for the land.” Case in point: a German supplier whose forest has been in the family since the year 1600. “This is only possible if you think ahead of your time,” says Dinesen. “Gather what you need from nature but leave something for future generations.”

AGE OF REASON ⊲ Rather than reject imperfections, Dinesen embraces the natural blemishes resulting from a tree’s 150-year-old life span, as seen here in the expressive Heart Oak panel. “The outcome is unfathomably beautiful planks that both aesthetically, and in strength, last for many generations,” says Dinesen. That same philosophy applies once installed. “Our planks become more beautiful when used. Sliding your hand over a worn plank or railing and noticing the grains of the wood and the growth rings creates a special feeling of well-being—a bit like a face full of wrinkles and creases reflecting a life well lived.”

LX_COM30_TheLook_TheReport.indd 167

▲ HYGGE LIFE Call it what you want, but creating a calm, cozy and stress-free home environment tops many a design wish list, and Dinesen wholeheartedly subscribes to this notion. “For us, creating well-being is very important. The more uneasy your daily life becomes, the more you will need a place that creates peace and balance,” says the owner. “That is what our wood can do.” An oak plank arranged in a herringbone pattern, such as the one shown above, can evoke that elusive sense of serenity.

OUTLOOK Rattan edges on avant-garde in Soane Britain’s new collection with fashion designer Duro Olowu. With two weaves and 11 fresh colorways, the pattern-happy collaboration references such exterior motifs as Arts and Crafts topiary and Georgian wrought-iron façades. Here, the Hurlingham sofa, striking in black rattan and emerald upholstery, demands a spot of honor in a sun room or conservatory.

On the subtle stylistic departure, Soane's founder Lulu Lytle notes, “We’re excited to be pushing in this bolder, more graphic direction.” As are we. soane.com

THE GREAT DIVIDE

Light and shadow. Concrete and glass. Often, the most impactful indoor-outdoor designs come down to simple dualities—a hallmark of architect Scott Mitchell’s projects. In celebration of his work’s first volume (Scott Mitchell Houses, Rizzoli), we asked the California architect to speak to his distinct approach to connecting the natural and built environments. scottmitchellstudio.com Best way to incorporate nature: With deep overhangs and a continuity of material planes that blur the boundary between interior and exterior spaces.

Design should be experienced... As a narrative. As with film or music, the journey begins with the arrival sequence.

From there, there is less a concern for a formality gradient as for a flowing connectivity of spaces. Dream project: A public aquarium. Up next: A boutique hotel on Phillip Island, Australia, and a modern farm outside Toronto.

Every home needs: The psychology of shelter. A house should be a safe and comfortable harbor from the world.

Victorian REVIVAL A WINE COUNTRY FARMHOUSE GETS A MODERN REFRESH WHILE RETAINING ITS HISTORIC ALLURE. WRITTEN BY KIMBERLY OLSON / PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOHN MERKL

mong Healdsburg’s many farmhouses, one home stands out: a Victorian Italianate estate built in the 1880s. Some 130 years later, a modern-day couple discovered the house and decided to establish roots. It retained much of its original charm, yet required some structural changes. A few decades ago, a large addition had been tacked onto the rear of the house. “It was quite tall at the back—the ceiling height was 14 or 15 feet—so the whole thing was out of proportion with the front,” says architect Stephen Sutro. “The back was too large, the front was too small and the spaces were too compartmentalized.”

Over the course of a two-year remodel, painstaking care was taken to honor the home’s original architecture while modernizing it for the active family. Along with designer Jennifer Robin and general contractor Ken Finley, Sutro rehabilitated the front of the residence, reusing what could be salvaged while faithfully reproducing elegant details where necessary. “The house was built with original-growth redwood lumber, and every usable piece we took out we put under the doorway awnings and on the walls of the stairway down to the 4,000-bottle wine cellar,” says Robin.

Sutro aimed to make the home feel more fresh, open and light while respecting its historic layout. “Even this farmhouse version of the Victorian had very formal parlors at the entry,” he says. By widening the hallway in the front, the architect was able to make the concept current by creating his-and-her parlors on either side of the staircase.

While both are finished with elegant Venetian plasterwork, custom cabinetry and large fireplaces, they each have a practical side. As Robin explains, “The front rooms and

“NOW THAT THEY USE THE WHOLE HOUSE AND ENTERTAIN OFTEN, IT FEELS LIKE A HAPPY HOME.”

–STEPHEN SUTRO

formal dining room were designed with entertaining in mind, but durability was considered for the fabric selections to avoid the spaces becoming off limits to the kids.”

For the rooms with higher ceilings, the designer incorporated a subtle palette of blues, grays and browns in conjunction with textured finishes, fabrics and rugs for a more inviting feel. The husband’s parlor, for example, features gray plaster walls, oiled-leather wing chairs, a reclaimed wood table, an industrial metal chandelier and a rich wool rug. “This room is the perfect space for a bit of whiskey and good conversation,” Robin says.

At the back of the house, Sutro revamped the layout of the disjointed addition to make it more functional. “They’re a fun, boisterous family and they often host other families with young children,” he says. “So in this home the kitchen and indoor-outdoor living are important.” Thus he created a spacious, open kitchen that connects visually to the outdoors. While its traditional design suits the architecture, elements like a concrete island with reclaimed wood cabinetry are kid-proof.

Robin loved the challenge of balancing the husband’s preferred aesthetic—masculine and industrial—with the wife’s love of classic farmhouse, all while honoring the home’s Victorian architecture. This balancing act is on display in the dining room, where Shaker-inspired chairs mix with an industrial pulley light fixture hanging from a painted beadboard ceiling.

Furnishings are a mix of new pieces—many custom designed—and found antiques. “I love the soul in the wood of the antique trolley table in the family room,” Robin says.

“But I also love the new settee in her parlor. It really invites you into the space, with its height and velvet fabric.”

While most of the rooms in the house are meant for all ages, there are some that are decidedly adult-focused.

Among those spaces is the couple’s new master suite with a sun room, separate walk-in closets and a master bathroom. The room’s private nature comes from its intentional placement. “The master suite has an entrance that is three-quarters of the way up the staircase,” Sutro says. “If you keep going up the last few steps, you get to the kids’ bedrooms. So, there’s kind of a neat separation between the children’s.”

In this home, variety is the spice of life. It’s at once historic and modern, ideal for both kids and adults, and its styles reflect masculine and feminine perspectives.

On top of that, it has a strong connection to the outdoors that makes gatherings a joy. “When the house was built, it probably felt somewhat imposing because of the formal layout and all the ornamentation,” Sutro says. “Now that they use the whole house and entertain often, it feels like an approachable, happy home.”

looms are more than just pretty in the hands of San Francisco floral designer Natalie Bowen Brookshire, who is known for her playful arrangements celebrating natural textures and silhouettes. With their own unique personalities, “flowers are a bit like people,” she explains. “We have memories associated with them, and they become the thing that brings us closer together.”

To Brookshire, flowers have always felt like part of the family. Her grandmother ran the flower shop at the Fairmont San Francisco in the 1940s, and her mother was a garden designer.

Tagging alongside her mother on projects, flowers became “the background of my childhood,” recalls Brookshire. “Some of my first memories are of crawling around in someone’s garden.” Though Brookshire initially toyed with industrial design as a student at San Francisco State University, her garden memories proved too alluring after graduation. “I wanted to see where that interest took me,” recalls the designer. So she opened her own floral studio, Natalie Bowen Designs.

Brookshire’s free-flowing style embraces the individual qualities of each flower. In her bouquets, feathery ferns, wild grass plumes and elongated branches hang like tree boughs.

Blossoms need not stand crowded at attention; she lets heavy-headed peonies and roses breathe, and naturally arch or dangle. Fluffy buds like mimosa flowers and bunny tails also add a cloud-like quality to her airier arrangements.

“It’s all about the profile of the design, creating asymmetry and negative space,” she explains.

Finding the right flower is only part of the story.

Brookshire also engages with the location, pulling color moods from the surroundings. For example, she favored the subdued hues of dry foliage to complement the soft organza dresses at local boutique Kamperett, while jewel-toned blooms and cascading vines suit the jewelry at Metier.

For her destination projects, flowers have taken her to truly special locales, from the beaches of Tulum, Mexico, to remote ranches in Montana, where the designs “gathered inspiration from the colors of the mountains and the sky,” says the designer. “I relate my work to the space that it’s in.

It’s not about just making an arrangement, I want it to move in the space with intention.”

When conjuring this sense of atmosphere in Brookshire’s projects, scent often becomes the most powerful element—another way she makes flowers intimately connect with clients.

The designer’s signature gardenias never fail to summon her own childhood remembrances. “So many people have a scent memory of something growing in their grandparents’ garden,” she says.

As a floral designer, “It’s such a special thing to be a part of, continuing that memory for people.”

SEA CHANGE WATER VIEWS AND TAWNY SAND DUNES DRIVE THE DESIGN OF A STINSON BEACH DREAM HOUSE. WRITTEN BY JENNIFER SERGENT PHOTOGRAPHY BY R. BRAD KNIPSTEIN STYLING BY YEDDA MORRISON

y parents have always been drawn to the water,” says a Marin County executive who has fond memories of growing up on New York’s Long Island, spending lakeside summers in New Hampshire and going to the beach in Southern California. Although he still visits his mother at her waterfront home in Santa Barbara, he wanted his own place by the shore. He found it in the small town of Stinson Beach, just 40 minutes away from the full-time residence he shares with his wife. “It was a dream of mine to have a beach house—and to be right on the water is all the more special,” he says.

Designer Eugenia Jesberg was thrilled to be tapped for the project shortly after she’d finished decorating the couple’s more formal, Colonial-style home on the other side of Mount Tamalpais. In this case, the style would be decidedly more casual yet no less sophisticated. “We designed everything to bring in the views, colors and textures and to achieve the look and feel of what was outside,” Jesberg says.

The project involved taking down a 1950s-era house, and modern storm-safety codes required part of the new structure to be elevated. The higher vantage point, however, provided excellent design opportunities. “That view got amplified,” Jesberg says. “It’s pretty magical out there.” To maintain the focus outside, Jesberg and architect Steve Wisenbaker decided on a modernized version of a simple New England-style residence, punctuating traditional tongue-and-groove paneling with floor-to-ceiling steelframed glass doors and huge plate-glass windows.

Wisenbaker’s first consideration was siting the outdoor living space. He then designed the house general contractor Larry Hadley and his team would build around it. “We

found the sweet spot and left that area open. The outdoor connection enriches the spaces you live in,” Wisenbaker explains. That “sweet spot” is now the deck that intersects with the main living spaces and the master bedroom; it’s placed on an axis with the entry where Jesberg employed limestone to go up the steps, through the glass-enclosed foyer and out the other side. “It’s like a sky bridge,” she says, describing it as a place where the barriers between inside and outside seem to melt away.

Jesberg maintained a largely neutral palette within the main house and focused on texture to tell the story of its seaside surroundings. A tall fireplace surround is clad in marble with blue-gray veins, for example. “It has this rippled feel to it, and that was deliberate because the house is so linear and structural,” she says, noting that the feature also emulates the water. Crackled, pale blue backsplash tile in the kitchen reinforces that sentiment. The floor tile in the master bathroom resembles the cable knit of a fisherman’s sweater, and knotty oak accents throughout the house interpret the home’s rustic landscape.

The designer crafted a different narrative for the groundlevel guesthouse. It’s a colorful extension of the owner’s art collection that includes pop art works by Ed Ruscha.

“Color gives it some personality,” Jesberg says. “It doesn’t have the views, but it’s still a fun and light-filled space.”

The structure opens into a courtyard that includes a large spa and bocce ball court. Landscape architect Corey Brooks transformed the flat area into a bas-relief of features that reach varying heights. He played to the narrow, rectangular space with a cedar-framed bocce court—a choice meaningful to the owner, who remembers playing the similar game of pétanque as a young exchange student in France. A few steps up from the court is a large spa with a prominent back wall and fountain. “To get the scale right, the spa had to have some substance so it would stand out from the garden,” Brooks says. “I did it to minimize its appearance as a hot tub and maximize its appearance as a water feature.”

Back on the main level, Jesberg ensured that her clients could enjoy the beach without ever having to step outside.

She chose leather chairs in the living room, she says, “so you can just swivel around and get your binoculars out to watch the whales.” A furry chaise in the master bedroom provides a luxurious cradle from which to watch the waves crash beyond the deck. “It’s really about the tranquility,” Jesberg says. “You feel like you’re floating above the dunes—it’s a little compound in heaven.”

The ART of HOME CALIFORNIA’S NATIVE LANDSCAPE INSPIRES A MASTERFUL RENOVATION ALONG THE CARMEL COAST. WRITTEN BY JENNY BRADLEY PFEFFER PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOE FLETCHER

F

or architect Mary Ann Schicketanz, Carmel is a constant source of inspiration. She considers the coastal setting’s beauty a muse similar to Claude Monet’s Giverny, France, or Georgia O’Keeffe’s beloved New Mexico—and for Schicketanz, it’s an environment that guides her hand as much as any architectural instrument. “We are very inspired by the native landscape here,” Schicketanz says. “Without it there are no parameters. The dune grasses, the sea and the shadows of the Cypress trees define our palettes and our materials.”

So, when a longtime client notified Schicketanz that he’d purchased a house that didn’t quite fit his needs, yet was located on an exceedingly beautiful piece of land, she set out not just to work on a full renovation, but also to create something akin to art.

Allowing the larger-than-life surroundings to take the lead, Schicketanz worked with general contractor Dennis Jones to transform the seaside house into a home more befitting her client and his family. Steeply sloped rooflines and dormers were erased, making room for a second-floor terrace and a green rooftop area that takes full advantage of ocean views from the master bedroom. “We wanted the homeowners to have something beautiful to wake up to every morning, so we created this green space,” Schicketanz notes. “Now, not only do they see the ocean, they have this meadow-like green roof with native plantings in the foreground.”

Acting as punctuation marks, teak trellises were added to slow the eye and provide moments of respite to the home’s more modern edges. While creating intricate patterns with their shadows, the trellises filter the light, transforming clean-lined surfaces into malleable canvases—enriching and modifying simple surfaces as the day slips from sunrise to sunset.

Also sensitive to maximizing Carmel’s ethereal light and the all-encompassing views, softly hued interiors were remodeled

“WE USED A CLEAN, NATURAL AESTHETIC THAT NODS TO THE CALIFORNIA COASTLINE.” –NICOLE CLAPMAN

LX_SF33_HOM_Schicketanz_12.indd 206

to fully embrace the seaside setting. The main floor centers around an open kitchen, and the great room and dining room find continuity through a common palette of neutrals and a backdrop of white oak floors and subtly textured and patinated materials. “On a beautiful site like this, you don’t want the interiors to be too distracting,” Schicketanz says.

“The blue of the ocean is very dominant. We simply tried to balance that.” Designer Nicole Clapman agrees, “It’s about capturing the natural beauty of Carmel. We used a clean, natural aesthetic that nods to the California coastline while still being warm and cozy.”

In the great room that embodies that warmth and coziness, a mix of wood tones—blonde oak beams, honeycolored cabinets and doors, and oak floors distressed to indulge the wear and tear of beach life—melds to create a comforting, kick-up-your-feet space built for gatherings. A large-scale sectional accommodates multiple perspectives, catering to ocean views during the day or fireplace-gazing at night. Handsome leather and tweed-clad armchairs swivel for practicality.

Within the great room’s neutral scheme, textures and patterns become paramount—they are the brushstrokes that paint the picture. A café au lait-hued Japanese paper weave on the walls injects the most subtle hint of texture. A Swedish kilim rug in shades of blue-gray and taupe warms wood floors and draws in the colors of the dramatic landscape.

Graphic, block-print pillows inject a hint of dark edginess to the room, connecting the dots between an ebony console and low-slung coffee table.

Threading into the adjoining space, the earthy tones and quiet textures find their way to more contemporary kitchen surfaces. Oak cabinets with streamlined details and the slightest striation offer contrast to the organic veining of the marble backsplash and counters. A butcher block countertop warms the square center island and offers prep space for family gatherings centered around the home’s epicenter—a pizza oven ensconced in a wall of limestone and flanked by niches built to accommodate neatly stacked firewood. “This family loves to cook, so the kitchen—and specifically this oven—is an important element,” Schicketanz says. “We worked very hard to create a space that fits their needs and uses traditional elements in contemporary ways.”

Pizza night or any other, the dining room exemplifies the painterly beauty of this house. A handcrafted iron chandelier and round walnut table bring weight to woven seagrass chairs and a patchwork flatweave rug. Neutral and textural, casual and refined, light and dark—together it feels masterfully balanced and relaxed.

The family revels in the home and its relationship with the landscape daily. “Renovating this house was much like working with artists,” the homeowner says. “Mary Ann and her team helped me discover what I wanted, and then painted the picture. They turned what was just a house into a home.”

Lit by a large wall of windows looking out to the lush garden, the entryway is a study in textures and scale—pairing a nubby hemp and silk rug from Mansour with a vintage bentwood and leather bench. A small landscape painting by Marie-Louise Rouff plays with scale.

Opposite: Rich accents—such as the artwork by Jonathan Kline over the fireplace, the Swedish kilim rug from Mansour, and the dark oak coffee table by RH—are grounding elements in the light-filled great room. A subtly textured Japanese woven wallcovering is a favorite element of designer Nicole Clapman.

Below: To take in views of Carmel Bay, the design team selected Berman Rosetti swivel chairs with Edelman Leather fabric for the great room. A custom Harbinger sectional topped with pillows by Marilet Pretorius also provides comfortable seating. “Teak trellises outside soften the southern light,” notes Schicketanz. “And their shadows create a delightful pattern on the floor.”

Left: The kitchen offers sight lines to all of the main living areas. Mink-toned, quarter-sawn oak cabinets by Christopher Peacock, a Carrara marble backsplash and counters, and a bronze hood and cabinet hardware work seamlessly together while offering subtle contrast.

Below: Looking through the kitchen, you can see into the dining room and the views beyond. “This square room called for a round table and we chose simple rush chairs for casual dining,� says Schicketanz.

The Liedekerke table, Courtens dining chairs and a Cardiff chandelier are all by Gregorius Pineo.

Landscape architect Marie Goulet kept the plantings simple and native so as not to interfere with the property’s bay views. Each outdoor space has a Concreteworks fire pit to accommodate chilly Carmel evenings. A teak table and chairs from Summit Furniture coordinate with teak trellises and withstand the salt air.

The guest suite also serves as an additional lounge area for the homeowners, so it’s furnished with a sofa bed by Jennifer Furniture and a pair of RH club chairs.

A CafĂŠ ottoman by Marbello Design and a bamboo silk rug from The Rug Company round out the soft palette.

Below, left: In the guest room, a soothing but crisp palette of cooler pastel tones was selected to complement the warmth of the oak floor and millwork.

Below, right: In the master bathroom, white onyx marble mosaic tile by Ann Sacks covers the walls and seems to glow thanks to a large central skylight.

Marble was also used for the countertop and integrated sink that’s topped with a gooseneck Waterworks faucet.
