EDITOR’S LETTER
a new view... The Tweak: it’s an ever-present verb for those of us in the business of design. Our days are consumed with upgrades and installs; recasts and transformations; alterations, punctuations and slightly-to-the-rights. A decade ago we began publishing Luxe Interiors + Design, and for this celebratory 10-year anniversary, we’ve done some refurbishing of our own with a refresh of our magazine pages. We’ve reassembled its parts in a way that makes for a better read. We’ve introduced more robust feature stories, revitalized the typography, and clarified the navigation of our departments. You’ll find news and discoveries for the season in “Radar,” the latest décor and product introductions in “Market,” and inspiring ideas for the home in “The Look.” Design never stands still, and we’ve certainly evolved over the past decade. What hasn’t changed much, however, is the mission of our magazine: to inform and inspire, cultivate ideas, and connect design enthusiasts with design talent. As always, and hopefully for the next 10 years and beyond, we hope you enjoy our magazine.

currently coveting… Zaha Hadid’s Liquid Glacial tables; anything by photographer Iran Issa Khan; and a piece by artist Michele Oka Doner. neighborhood for the design enthusiast: I only have one word for Miami Ironside: Wow. The art and design studios are so innovative and are fueling the creative spirit of the city. where to shop: My staples are Ralph Pucci, Michel Contessa Antiques and Robicara. trend you hope never tires: I can’t get enough of the mix of fresh modern design with vintage pieces. They inject a sense of history into a new story. Looking forward to this year: Maison&Objet Americas this May 12-15; and Expo Milano 2015. Starting May 1, it’s a six-month global exhibition in Milan where more than 140 countries are participating. The central theme this year is Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life. It’ll do a lot of good. Sam Robin is an interior designer and co-owner of Robicara. Her design pet peeve is bad lighting, and she has always wanted to excavate an archaeological site.

having a moment: The first thing that comes to mind is Frank Gehry’s Louis Vuitton Foundation, which opened this past fall in Paris. It’s a sight to see. i can’t get enough of… Anything by Céline. On the horizon for you: I have an all-white collaboration between The Webster and Le Bon Marché in Paris that just came out. It includes home décor, food items, fashion for men and women, and accessories with exclusive pieces from more than 50 fashion houses—from the most established

to the newest. I’m also releasing my Capsule swimwear collection with Eres this summer. I’m excited to see it at beaches and pools around the world!
Coffee along the way; and head to The Broken Shaker for a taste of Miami Beach’s cocktail scene and a little competitive Ping-Pong.
Looking forward to this spring: Seeing the work of John Galliano at Maison Martin Margiela, as well as Guillaume Henry at Nina Ricci. Oh, and getting the new Apple watch.
On my kitchen wish list: An outdoor wood-burning oven. I’d also love to grow my own sugarcane in my yard. James Beard award-winning chef and restaurateur Michael Schwartz is the creator of Miami institution Michael’s Genuine. He owns an unreasonable amount of utensils—rightfully so—and, as of late, can’t get enough of hempseed or the London culinary scene.
Add to your agenda: In Miami, explore South Beach’s unique Art Deco architecture—it’s like stepping back in time—the new Institute of Contemporary Art, the Rubell Family Collection and The M Building in Wynwood, which was restored by architect Chad Oppenheim. And when in New York, definitely try to catch the Björk retrospective at the MoMA through June 7.
images: Clockwise from top: The façade of The Webster speaks to the Art Deco vernacular of Miami Beach. Restaurant Michael Schwartz at The Raleigh is one of four local eateries for the chef. A painting from Damien Hirst’s Spot series sings against a neutral backdrop in this interior by designer Sam Robin.
Laure Heriard Dubreuil is the founder and CEO of luxury fashion boutique The Webster in Miami Beach. She’s itching for a Richard Serra sculpture and Aurélie Bidermann’s tsavorite-and-diamond Clover earrings.

On tap for miami: We’re opening our second location of Harry’s Pizzeria in Coconut Grove—a great neighborhood with a strong sense of community. It will be the first time we’ll have a restaurant outside of the Design District on the mainland. changing scenery: This city has come a long way from where it was when I started in Miami Beach back in 1995. Back then, it was all about the scene; now it’s all about the food. Foodie finds: Splurge on an order of chicharrónes (fried pork rinds) at El Palacio de los Jugos; design your own Wynwood walking tour and pop into Panther

THE INSIDERS What’s trending: I see big cities transitioning into truly green cities and getting better air quality for its citizens. Landscape architects are becoming increasingly more important and will be instrumental in creating everything from small terraces to entire urban plans.
5
for the garden-obsessed: The RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London from May 19-23. Not so far from home, though, the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden should definitely be experienced.
6 Underline and the Biscayne Line will connect both city and bay with bike lanes. We will be able to move around and experience it all in a different way. What’s trending: Minimalism is back; superfluous extravagance is over. if i had a spare $20,000… I’d buy as much caviar as possible. Now that’s superfluous! on-going muse: I still obsess over Le Corbusier. I studied under his crew at Harvard and am always reminded of a generation’s intent on creating a better world for all.

i’d love to see more… Green roofs. They address the fifth façade in a sustainable way. With densification, we look down on roofs more often. Happening in Miami: Miami is finally getting buildings and renovations that are needed, not just wanted, like the new Miami Beach Convention Center and the University of Miami School of Architecture. Also, The 120 / luxe interiors + design
cricket taplin
Happening in Miami: Don’t miss “One Way,” Peter Marino’s exhibit at the Bass Museum of Art (through May 3) or The Margulies Collection at the Warehouse. keep your eye on: Artists Leslie Thornton, Joan Jonas and Enrique Martínez Celaya, as well as Jacolby Satterwhite, whose work we featured in the lobby of the Sagamore during Art Basel. add to your agenda: La Biennale di Venezia in May is a must-go for serious art collectors. book i read on repeat: Ten Thousand Waves, by Isaac Julien. It’s to die!
Bernardo Fort-Brescia is a founding principle of the international architecture firm Arquitectonica. He’d resurrect Oscar Niemeyer to design his next home if he could.
Most recent art purchase: The video collection I got from Electronic Arts Intermix including works from John Baldessari, Merce Cunningham and Nam June Paik, to name a few. Spanning six decades, it highlights the relation of the moving image to other artistic media and forms, actively engaging the distinctive languages of video, film and digital media.

Miami’s most beautiful building: The Bacardi Building in Midtown is a jewel box.
Landscape 5 the architect the architect
Enzo Enea, founder of Enea Landscape Architecture, possesses a ridiculous number of trees. He’s looking to add more to the collection on display at his tree museum in Switzerland.
Happening in Miami: We’ve had many development cycles and boom times, and are currently undergoing another one. We’re seeing the designs of renowned architecture firms coming to life and the city’s skyline is becoming vastly more interesting. What’s really exciting is the integration of landscape architecture into these projects, which I’ve been part of. Miami is now a serious urban and cultural hub. i can’t get enough of… The most beautiful motorcycle ever built: a 1974 Ducati 750 SS.
Along with her husband Marty, Cricket Taplin owns the Sagamore Hotel in Miami Beach, which features her expansive personal art collection. One thing missing from her trove, however, is a piece by Los Angelesbased visual artist Thomas Houseago.
images: Clockwise from top right: This private residential garden in Erlenbach, Switzerland, is by Enea Landscape Architecture. A peek at the Related Group’s anticipated One Brickell complex on Miami River by Arquitectonica, which will also feature landscaping by Enzo Enea. The Sagamore Hotel’s robust art collection by Cricket Taplin includes Sunburst, 2002, by New York-based artist Leo Villareal.

MIX MASTERS
CUTTING-EDGE WORKS EMPLOY TECHNIQUES AS VARIED AS THE ARTISTS WHO CREATED THEM. WRITTEN BY JESSE BRATTER / PRODUCED BY CARA GIBBS
ELISA GOMEZ MIXED MEDIA Whether it’s the energetic rhythms of an upbeat salsa number or the transportive sounds of a classical opus, all music moves Elisa Gomez in an indescribable way. The Austin-based abstract painter translates this feeling to canvas using brushes, palette knives or even her bare hands. The graffiti effect in Am I Free From This Dream #2, left, is a result of her fast-paced strokes and layered textures; it's part of her series with local composer Walter Nichols—a visual portrayal of his musical arrangements. Of her wish for viewers to have the same reaction to her art as she has to music, she says, “I hope people are taken to a deeper, more meaningful place.” elisagomezart.com
TROY SIMMONS CONCRETE Troy Simmons is so captivated by Brutalist architecture that he translates the vernacular to canvas, juxtaposing raw concrete against sleek pigments (see Durchbruch, left, shown vertically, and Serendipity, below). Approaching each piece like a construction project— his heaviest weighs 300 pounds—the Miami artist creates 3-D renderings and drawings before chiseling away at the cement. “My creative process reflects who we are as humans,” Simmons says. “We all carry complex yet beautiful experiences in our souls.” See his work this May at JanKossen Contemporary Art Gallery in New York. troysimmonsstudio.com
SARAH RASKEY MIXED MEDIA The Swarovski crystals in Sarah Raskey’s 24kt Gold and Glamour, above, is a good indication of the high fashion that permeates her work. The elegant result is a far cry from the mad-scientist process that gets her there: picture materials spilled over, others set on fire, and power tools strewn about her Chicago studio. “I love the dance that takes place among art, fashion and self-expression,” says Raskey, who, as an art therapist, helps others find healing through creativity. “I want viewers to feel that my art encourages the human spirit.” Raskey will be incorporating Maya Romanoff’s handmade textiles into her work for an exhibit at its Chicago showroom this April. sarahraskey.com

JAMIE LEE REARDIN ILLUSTRATION “When I was little, I dreamed of becoming a Disney animator, and my interests later expanded into fashion,” recalls Los Angeles-based fashion illustrator Jamie Lee Reardin. “I eventually fused these passions, and from my imagination emerged these gawky gazelles with long, impossibly thin silhouettes.” Their dramatic appearance, seen in Aline, left, speaks to Reardin's fascination with complex personalities like Cruella De Vil and Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride. Her talents ultimately caught the eye of Dior Beauty's Dianne Vavra, which turned into the ideal collaboration. Now with each pen stroke and watercolor mark, she's surpassing her childhood dreams one character at a time. jamieleereardin.com
ELOISE CORR DANCH PAPER All Brooklyn artist Eloise Corr Danch needs to create her swoon-worthy works are her grandmother’s heavy metal scissors, X-Acto knives and a colorful imagination. Whether flowers, headpieces, illustrations or myriad other objects, it’s the endless color wheel and the way light reflects off its surface that attracts Danch to paper as her medium. Since her studies explored fashion history and construction, translating her floral creations for editorial fashion spreads and window dressings comes naturally—they've been used to embellish Diane von Furstenberg’s New York and Paris flagship stores, for one. “I love the play between the utility of clothes and the artistry and romance of fashion,” she says. “I hope the defining message of my work is beauty. Whether in the form of color, line or silhouette, I am always seeking to create something beautiful.” eloisecorrdanch.com

KELSEY BROOKES ACRYLIC
From an overlook at McWay Falls in Big Sur, California, Oakland artist Laura Plageman stands with her camera, marveling at the relationship between man and nature—the idyllic vista calling out to her, yet its inaccessible beach and falls remaining out of reach. In that vein, Plageman created a second image, left, that appears part illusory and part tangible, altering her original printed photo of McWay Falls and then photographing the result as a still life. Comprising her Response series, the photograph presents a seemingly impossible scene yet shows evidence of its construction through crumples and folds in the paper. “I delight in making an image that’s at once familiar and unfamiliar,” she says. “I want the viewer to look at the details and discover the image for themselves.” photolp.com
JEAN WELLS MOSAIC One look at Jean Wells’ mosaic-mirrored sculptures and it’s easy to see the influence of pop culture on her work. So it’s no surprise that when asked to name an artist favorite, she points to Wayne Thiebaud for reflecting food and humor in his paintings. Wells, too, turns to iconography and nostalgia when sculpting her fanciful objects and fast food re-creations using glass she cuts by hand; Conversation Piece, right, is an example of Wells recalling her youth. What's more, her mosaic soda bottles can be seen traveling the world this year as part of a Coca-Cola exhibition. “My motivation is spreading happiness,” muses the Seattle native. It’s a fitting mantra for an artist whose work gushes with sentimentality and whimsy. wellsart.com

BROOKES PHOTOS: ONE POINTED ATTENTION NO. 11 (DETAIL) AND ONE POINTED ATTENTION NO. 10, PHOTOS BY PHILIPP SCHOLZ RITTERMANN / COURTESY QUINT GALLERY.
For San Diego-based painter Kelsey Brookes, a scientistturned-artist, there is no left brain-right brain distinction. “You have one brain and it can become interested in whatever you purposely direct it toward,” he says. To this point, in his artistic endeavors, Brookes still explores cerebral patterns and molecular structure—but instead of examining them through a microscope, he maps them out on canvas using Golden acrylic paint and Winsor & Newton Series 7 sablehair brushes. In contrast to their vibrant colors and intricate patterns, as seen in his One Pointed Attention series, right, Brookes calmly creates his psychedelic works while listening to NPR or, sometimes, in total silence. Check out his molecular prints this spring at Quint Gallery in La Jolla, California, and see other works at New York’s Eric Firestone Gallery in June. kelseybrookes.com

WrITTen AnD prODuCeD BY mimi faucett
Ignacia Murtagh’s personal connection to pre-Hispanic native cultures began in the place she calls home: Southern Chile. “I fell in love with Chile’s poetic tradition that reinforces design as the vehicle to turn tiny but relevant details of nature into useful and significant interior elements,” she says. As a young designer, Murtagh has always attributed her design sensibility to the exuberant geography of her surroundings. Her most recent project—a series of three side tables for Bernhardt Design—directs that credit to the Andes Mountains. “The Los Andes tables were inspired by mountains that are strong and imposing but at the same time graceful and slender,” she describes. This
sculptural elegance was achieved with the tables’ unpredictable heights, organic angles and contrasting sharpness. Murtagh spent a year with the designers at Bernhardt sketching, modeling and ultimately learning to work with a new material: wood. “Ceramics are malleable. You can accomplish complex designs in a short time and change elements quickly,” explains the designer. “Wood is out of your control. The character of the grain, colors and textures are expressed differently in every piece. Once you understand the material, however, wood becomes limitless.” Armed with an aesthete’s eye and an ever-growing material repertoire, Murtagh is proving to be just as limitless herself.

NO MEDIUM IS OFF-LIMITS FOR ARTIST DAVID WISEMAN, WHO TAPS SILK AS HIS NEW MUSE FOR A LIMITED-EDITION RUG DESIGN.
WRITTEN BY MIRANDA AGEE / PRODUCED BY ARLYN HERNANDEZ
Clockwise from top: David Wiseman’s limited-edition rug design for R & Company. The artist’s Glacier pendant in Smoke. A Lily of the Valley installation from a past solo exhibition of Wiseman’s at R & Company. A one-of-a-kind Collage fireplace screen in bronze and porcelain. This Small Geode vase in bronze is one of 25 made, each signed and numbered. A custom commission for a private New York residence.
Glass, bronze, porcelain: For artist David Wiseman, his material selections are as varied as his creations. His scene-stealing designs can be found all over the world, from large-scale porcelain installations for Dior boutiques in Shanghai and Tokyo—which he designed in collaboration with architect Peter Marino—to being a part of the permanent collection at the Corning Museum of Glass in New York. Now, in partnership with R & Company, the Los Angeles-based Wiseman is taking his intricate skills to the ground level with a limited-edition rug design inspired by his travels and rooted in historical craftsmanship. Designer Todd Oldham gave you your big break. Tell us more about that. My first project was a nature-inspired hat hanger. Todd, who I had met when he was a guest lecturer for one of my classes at RISD, actually ended up ordering a bunch of them to give as gifts. Then, when I graduated college, he offered me a job. What are your favorite materials to work with? Bronze is endlessly fascinating to me. There are so many different alloys and patinas, and when you bring it up to a high polish, it’s a true work of art. How did rugs come into the picture for you? R & Company approached me with the idea to translate my designs into a rug collection. I went to Kathmandu to meet the weavers and to better understand their process. When I got there, I was blown away. Meeting them completely changed my concept because I needed to be as detailed as they were. Can you speak to the handmade aspect? It takes anywhere from six to eight months to create one rug and only 12 are being made in two distinct colorways. Because of the high quality of silk that they use, there are 4.5 million knots in each carpet.
Textiles are a new arena for you. Did you have to think differently? It started the same way I begin all of my designs, with pencil and paper, but I quickly learned that there is no room for error. The Tibetan and Nepalese communities of rug makers were so skilled at being able to capture the drawings they even wove my subtle eraser marks into one of the samples. How did your travels come to influence this particular project? The concept is about fusing my favorite patterns from around the world so I thought it would be appropriate to add a common Tibetan motif— such as billowing clouds—into the design. What else inspires you? I always turn to nature and its history in the decorative arts. I love seeing how different cultures have internalized nature and included it in their indigenous ornamental patterns. With everything you create, what are you always looking to achieve? Finding the poetic truth about what each material wants to become. I’m obsessed with that.

WHO: Yuri Tuma, an up-and-coming local artist whose love of architecture and commercial buildings helps him to alter reality with the use of highly conceptual photography. WHAT: Expect to find have-to-look-twice shots of highly impressive skyscrapers and monoliths brilliantly deconstructed and rebuilt to create graphic montages that reflect a minimal geometric aesthetic. WHY: Through Tuma’s lens, you’ll be able to think about your surroundings in a completely different way: That lackluster office building you pass by every day, for example, can be instantly transformed into a breathtaking work of art. IN HIS WORDS: “I am attracted to buildings that defy the visual norm. Post-modern structures inspire me to graphically manipulate a city’s identity. They provide me with a feeling of transcendence, and that’s what I’m ultimately looking for—a moment of originality and awe.”

IN PROCESS BRIAN BURKHARDT What happens behind the scenes in the studios of some of the city’s best craftsmen and artisans? For Brian Burkhardt, creativity is all about using old-world techniques to make a very modern statement, which he does through his Louis Vuitton-inspired leather pieces. “There’s a tendency today for objects to be massproduced and manufactured,” says the artist. “But, for me, it’s always been important to see the hand of the maker in things—it can elevate the ordinary into something really special. My most prized possession is a collection of tools that I inherited from my grandfather. It’s funny to think that because people don’t make much by hand anymore, they no longer know how to use something like a scribe to scrimshaw. I wanted to bring that back and ask people who view my art to redefine the way they measure value.” bburkhardt.com

FASHION FORWARD One of the most well-respected names in fashion, Nina Garcia loves design in all its many forms. Here, the editor and television personality shares her secrets for great style—both on the runway and off of it. What new runway trends would you like to see reflected in the home? The Seventies were a big trend this season. I think it would be interesting to see fabrics from that era—like suede, denim and patchwork—incorporated into the home in an elegant way. Which fashion designer would you love to see develop his or her own home collection? I love Fendi and Armani’s home lines. They fit well with my subdued, pared-down luxe aesthetic. I’m not much of a print or pattern person myself, but I would love to see Mary Katrantzou or Proenza Schouler do a textile collection. Your home features masterful layering, thanks to the wonderful rugs throughout. Why is investing in rugs so important? They lay the groundwork for the entire space, tie everything together and add character to a room. There are many great places for rugs, but my favorites are Tai Ping, Doris Leslie Blau, Stark, Safavieh and Marc Phillips.
156 / LUXE INTERIORS + DESIGN
Let’s talk fabric. Do you find you’re drawn to the same textures for your wardrobe as you are for your home? When it comes to interior design, I am attracted to simple, neutral color palettes but very rich texture because, for me, that’s where you can bring personality in. I think the same could be said for my wardrobe. My bedroom curtains are cashmere, and I love a good cashmere sweater, as well. Same with a shaggy fur coat—on a pillow? Fabulous. Share your home design staples. I’m always hunting for Swedish midcentury furniture, textured carpets and unique pieces during my travels. They’re what I splurge on. What are your favorite shops and showrooms to visit when you’re at home in New York? I always stop into Gallery BAC. The selection is amazing, and Carlos Aparicio is a dear friend of mine who actually helped me decorate my apartment. I also like Maison Gerard, Karl Kemp Antiques and 1stdibs.

MIAMI BEACH CONVENTION CENTER
After a rocky start, Miami Beach has approved final plans for the much-anticipated $500 million redesign of its convention center—a 1.4 million-square-foot South Beach staple. Under the direction of Colorado-based Fentress Architects, the new building, with its edgy, undulating exterior, seems poised to give its many Art Basel exhibitors a run for their money: Its stirring architecture is nearly sculptural in nature. But Fentress’ true test will be filtering the company’s international design language through a decidedly Miami lens, which they plan to accomplish by incorporating plenty of open-air lounging and dedicated green spaces. miamibeachconvention.com; fentressarchitects.com

Industry giant Miles Redd loved the duo so much he chose it as a main palette for his Manhattan town house, right. “I wanted the space to feel like you were submerged inside of a raspberry soufflé,” explains Redd. “I’ve always been attracted to these colors because they feel so alive—and I love the backdrop pink provides for pictures.”

Known for her artistic approach and inventive use of materials, Melbourne, Australia-based interior designer Fiona Lynch easily assembled this dynamic kitchen using our next twosome: gold and marble. Equally substantial on their own, a magical chord is struck when these two elements team up. Case in point, French lighting brand La Chance fluently combines the pair in a mini-lamp flaunting a perforated shade and Carrera marble base, while Brooklyn wallpaper studio Calico displays their beauty on its handmade papers.

The hyper contrast that exists between navy and peridot combines all the carefree nuances of springtime. The playful palette also conjures notions of excitement and adventure, which was exactly the visceral reaction New York designer Sara Story sought to create in the dining room shown. “I love this fresh color combination,” says Story. “I’ve always enjoyed mixing opposing textures, materials and pops of color—in this case a vibrant chartreuse seat fabric was just the right accent to the stunning Gracie wallcovering.” Here, Fireclay's latest tile collection, Cool Motif, marries the two powerhouses perfectly.

Chicago designer Patrizio Fradiani of Studio F emphatically applied the electrifying duo of citrus and amethyst in this retro-fitted seating niche. “The inspiration was to provide a touch of glamour combined with bold colors,” he explains. “Though an unusual pair, they are quite complementary and their juxtaposition was intended to energize the space with summery notes to combat the gloomy Chicago winters.” Chanel’s dreamy new quilted shoulder bag embraces a cheery citrus tone while Edward Ferrell + Lewis Mittman’s sleek bench shows off amethyst in a more refined fashion, proving that this lively pair is here to stay.

boys club “It’s material that makes an object or space tactile,” muses Lauren Geremia, principal designer of San Francisco’s Geremia Design. And, when presented with a vast array of the season’s fabric offerings, Geremia opted for a serene palette of neutrals to create the refined, masculine space shown here that invites intimate gatherings and quiet conversation. “I wanted the dining space to be minimal but mature,” she explains, “selecting simplistic patterns and muted colors that allow an opportunity for layering and creating dynamic, textured compositions.” Rose Tarlow Melrose House “napkins” sit atop place mats fashioned from a Knoll Luxe material to ground the tablescape, while a Cowtan & Tout fabric dresses the vintage midcentury chair frames and Pierre Frey’s stunning abstract textile takes its place as artwork—all giving way to a neutrally color-coded dining room where masculine notes abound and simplicity speaks volumes.

sitting pretty Designed to stop you in your tracks, this striking vignette fashioned by New York-based designer Young Huh proves that there is an art to making an entrance. “I imagined a welcoming spot where guests could arrive and be greeted with drinks and sweets,” says Huh. “My goal was to create an impactful area through contrasts in color and pattern.” To achieve her vision, Huh employed Schumacher’s Iconic Leopard fabric to flock the walls and adorned an accent pillow and the base of an ottoman with Duralee’s Eileen Kathryn Boyd collection. Rebecca Atwood’s playful spots find a home on a classic Bunny Williams stool, Beacon Hill’s Lilliflora textile, from the Ankasa Bespoke collection, drapes the table and Huh’s own fabric design for Peter Fasano graces the dining chair. “The more you mix, the more lively the room is,” says the designer, “what better stage for a little get-together.”

Hunt Slonem’s Fritillery for Groundworks takes flight on a decorative marble slab, while Slonem’s Catelayas 2 makes its way into a mirrored frame on the gallery wall. Navone’s Quai Branly cloaks the armchair to complete the scene. Says Uribe, “In this space, materials set the temperature but color and print dictate the mood.”

On the outside we arm ourselves in order to protect our internal life, our intimacy, our loved ones, and our personal beliefs. We have one face we share with the world, while watchful that nothing penetrates the sanctity of our internal peace. From inside we have all the windows to the world, but we only open them to the ones we trust. In “Eternity� we live peacefully encompassed by the healing rose, symbolizing Compassion and Love.

ON THE
SEVEN GAME-CHANGING VISIONARIES COME TOGETHER TO COMMENT ON WHAT’S FRESH FOR SPRING AND THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING IT LIGHT. WRITTEN BY MIMI FAUCETT / PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOANNA MCCLURE
ELIZABETH ROBERTS ARCHITECT ENSEMBLE ARCHITECTURE, DPC
Architecture: The Zio buffet’s strength is in its simplicity of form, the natural grain of the wood, and its long, low proportions. It’s classic. Creativity: As a whole, Zio feels both solid and subtle, while angled, rounded legs offer a whimsical element. I think we’re drawn to fun, accessible environments, and playful pieces like this create a nice juxtaposition to older, more detailed furnishings, art or architecture. Impression: A statement piece should be bold and noticed. This buffet’s refined details and sleek silhouette make it just that.
SARA COLOMBO CURATOR NEST CASA
Design: The collection is unmistakably Rodarte. This rug gives the illusion of lace and a feeling of romance. Imagination: Each design speaks to fantasy and has an ethereal quality. The overlay technique has such organic movement. Storytelling: The provenance of objects in the home is truly meaningful. Every collected piece should tell a story and become part of your own narrative. Color: I am a big believer in color and love that the hues in this line are strong but not overpowering. I can see the Cobalt Motif design under the blue velvet couches in my sitting room.
MAGIC CARPET THE PIECE: Cobalt Motif THE DESIGNER: Rodarte for The Rug Company FIND IT: therugcompany.com THE INSPIRATION: Finding inspiration in 1970s California, medieval romance and fairytale fantasies, Rodarte’s debut rug collection reflects the designers’ fascination with the unusual and ethereal.

KEITH KREEGER
CERAMICIST KEITH KREEGER STUDIOS
Material: I’m drawn to the clean lines and material mixture of Sasser’s tables. I love combining materials that contrast with one another. The strong lines are sleek and fresh. Craft: Makers need to own the word handmade again. You can clearly see the craftsmanship and intent of the maker behind Sasser’s work. To me, this defines what he stands for. Luxury: A well-made object is a deserved pleasure and once you begin to live with these luxuries it’s hard to envision life without them.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGNER BLUEPOOLROAD
Feel: Supernova is ethereal and weightless, with a classic, nostalgic appeal. It was designed to be touched. Look: The celestial, space-age aesthetic of the desk brings me back to seeing the Milky Way at Ayers Rock in Australia. The onyx panel illuminates, like the quiet glowing band spread across the night sky in an abstract, almost haunting way. Vision: It is crucial to have passion, to dive into a design concept and be inspired by it. Striking a particular balance between form and function is the ultimate art form.

JEFF MARTIN
CRAFTSMAN JEFF MARTIN JOINERY
Designer: Dan Yeffet has a strong command of authorship running through his entire body of work. I love his adventurous material studies and conceptual thinking. Composition: The Peacock candleholders have a great mix of rich, opulent materials being utilized for such a primitive form of light. The polished brass reflects the light and enhances it from a technical standpoint. The simple structure of the two separate pieces coming together is intelligent and subtle, while the pieces themselves are cheeky and whimsical. Creativity: Artists should have fun playing with concepts or production methods. Imagination seems to be the way of driving innovation forward.

Artistry: There’s a jewel-like quality to these plates. Felt+Fat’s originality is visually arresting with such refreshing modernity. Handmade: Perfection exists in imperfection. There’s nothing more beautiful than the authenticity and warmth achieved by handcrafted workmanship. Aesthetic: The subtle glamour of this eclectic collection bears an approachable sensibility that would make any gathering more inviting and really communicate a personal point of view. The muted palette offers quiet beauty and feels grounded and timeless.

Kate troyer textile designer
Composition: What appeals to me about the Asscher chandelier are the contradicting notions within the design. It is a daring piece that is geometrically composed yet remains unpredictable. It is both delicate and industrial, and worthy of discussion due to its play on form. The use of positive and negative space creates a pattern that is imposing but not heavy. Market: In today’s industry, there is a craving for creating both comfort and elegance. Sophisticated design does not have to be sterile. Authenticity shines through when a design expresses imagination. Installation: I would hang this piece in my studio space for cool inspiration as well as some necessary light.

Talk to me about your mix of materials and vision for this space. The jumping-off point was the linen canopy—clean and simple yet decidedly feminine; there are so many canopy treatments that work well with twin beds. I was thrilled when I found the coral-patterned Schumacher wallpaper that echoes the coastal vibe of the home. It is complemented by the textured bedspread, which reminds me of the knotted-and-looped bedspread I had in my room growing up. Speaking of growing up, this room seems really appropriate for any age. When designing kids’ bedrooms, I try to keep the background palette monochromatic so that when their tastes change, it’s not a huge expense to swap out pillows, lamps or bedding. These small alterations can really change the look of a room. For example, this space could certainly be modernized for a teenager’s taste by simply replacing the lamp with a Lucite or metallic base. What here do you believe reflects you most as a designer? I would say it was the overall interpretation of the theme. The client’s daughter requested a cloud motif, but I strayed from anything too literal. The result being a room that instead feels like a cloud, which is more fun and timeless. I wanted this room to be as ethereal as possible, lending itself to an airy, dreamy quality.

master suite ARCHITECT MAx STRANG PAIRS A NATuRAL PALETTE WITH A SPACIOuS fLOOR PLAN, NOddING TO THE SWEEPING SCENERy OuTSIdE.
I love the idea of making this space open and loft-like. One aspect of working in Miami is that our clients have varied cultural backgrounds. In this case, interior designer Isabelle Peribere, of L’Atelier Isabelle Peribere, who also happens to be the owner, preferred the European concept of an open relationship between the bedroom and bathroom. The wood floors blur the boundaries between inside and out; it wasn’t intended for one space to dominate the other.
What about that view? The spectacular view lends a sense of tranquility. It’s always great to have natural light in bathrooms, and this open plan allowed us to do exactly that. The glass guardrail on the porch was selected so it wouldn’t deter from the vistas of Biscayne Bay and downtown Miami. With such large walls of glass, most of the color is integrated within the views themselves and we didn’t want to compete with that.
With such an open concept, how did you create privacy? Privacy and solar shading were two notable design challenges I faced with this project—and the louvered balcony provided the perfect solution to both of these issues. The exquisitely detailed aluminum louvers, wood cladding and glass guardrail all strike the right balance, allowing the scenic outdoors to be enjoyed while still buffering the view of the interiors from the outside.

living area CLEAN AND SIMPLE PRovE CHIC AND SuSTAINABLE IN THIS LofT APARTMENT DESIgNED By HILLARy SCuRTIS.
It’s probably not everyday you get to design a concrete space. No, it’s not, but concrete works as a blank canvas, providing a serene color to offset the harshness of the Miami sun. I chose not to overdress the walls, as there is a stoic beauty in the grid pattern of the concrete block. The hard, raw elements in this industrial loft were just so beautiful. The use of concrete in the space enables the background to recede, allowing the pieces to tell their own narratives.
The minimalist look really speaks to that idea of allowing the pieces to tell their own story. Every piece you see speaks to its environmental or artisanal journey. I adore white-slipcovered sofas, since they are easily washable, and this one is made with lowimpact dyes and organic wool. The dining table gives me the most joy, though—a fallen tree that would traditionally be considered forest debris but was instead utilized as a one-of-a-kind table base.
What kind of client do you envision living here? I designed this space to not only create a beautiful environment, but to also function according to a particular lifestyle. Looking around, the area provides only snatches of a story. Without any background, it is clear that a hip gentleman is in residence. He owns a dog, is a voracious reader and is environmentally conscious. He also lives by the axiom “less is more.”

an in-depth exploration into what’s new and notable in kitchen design. written bY arlyn hernandez
THE NEW MODERN KITCHEN when it comes to modern kitchen design, there are two distinct schools of thought: one embraces the simplicity and sheer functionality with zeal, while the other remains unconvinced, preferring the welcoming aesthetic of a more traditional style. regardless of your persuasion, there’s no denying the downright impressive innovations and design gusto being cooked up as of late that could convert even the most classically inclined. From mechanically operated walls that conceal gadgets and storage to intuitive appliances that learn and adapt to your cooking methods, discover the latest ingredients making up the new modern kitchen.
1
CULINARY
ARTS
With the kitchen arising as the new epicenter of the home, bolder design is spicing up this bustling room. In this Hamptons residence, here and below, New York designer Guillaume Gentet created a personality-filled space using custom cabinetry by Effeti USA with whispers of lilac throughout. “People forget that the inside of a cabinet should be as pretty as the outside,” he says, referencing the violet (Pantone 7444 UP) of the island, which is echoed in the shelving concealed behind the wood panels. The owners’ art, like the Buddha sculptures by Marlene Rose, continues the artistic flavor of the room’s aesthetic.
2
THE FAUCET Every line and visible design element counts in a minimal space. Therefore, making major impact with a sculptural faucet, like Franke’s new Planar 8 Flex semi-professional version, is essential. The masculine, squared-off silhouette doesn’t just pack a visual punch, though; its 360-degree swiveling spout is highly functional and allows for maximum movement around the sink.

Color doesn’t have to be reserved for tableware and accents anymore: Large appliances, such as Bertazzoni’s Pro48 6G dualfuel range (shown here in a mouthwatering orange), are getting their turn in the shade game and becoming increasingly popular as owners seek to imprint their personal stamp onto every room of their home.
MASTER
CHEF
Designing kitchens for the past 40 years, it’s safe to say that Chicago-based Mick De Giulio knows a thing or two about what makes for successful culinary quarters. Here, the maestro lends some counsel and maps out what’s currently on his radar.
There’s no excuse for having a disorganized kitchen today with all the great solutions out there. What are some of your favorites? Motorized doors to hide nooks for small appliances and creating charging stations by putting USB ports inside of drawers are a go-to of mine. Another is a cabinet I recently designed called Metal Boy (shown above) for keeping pots and pans organized and accessible. It has recessed LED lighting so cookware is easily viewable and becomes like sculptural pieces. Metal seems to have become part of your signature look. How do you keep it from feeling too sterile? I love using silver nickel and polished stainless steel, but I always layer different materials and textures into my designs, sometimes even with very subtle changes. Honed and brushed stones, hand-scraped woods and fabrics for soft seating add comfort and are a great complement to the shine of metals. What’s exciting you right now? Steam ovens and induction cooktops. There’s so much you can do in a steam oven, from baking bread to roasting juicy meats, and induction has so many things going for it as far as safety and heat control.
5
WARM
FRONT
Modern kitchens tend to get a bad rap for being cold and industrial, but new material combinations are changing that rather unfair judgment. Maintaining a streamlined look, this design by Eggersmann integrates solid American walnut along the space’s periphery to soften the highgloss cabinetry and hard quartz surfaces.

7 talking KiTcHEn TEcH Gone are the days of one-dimensional appliances. Ranges no longer just cook; they’ll send a text to the family when dinner is ready. Need to pre-heat your oven but you’re still at the store? Your smartphone can get that started so it’s at the perfect temperature when you get home. Here, Lamont Gaines, showroom manager of Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery in Boca Raton, Florida, breaks down the newest innovations.
Smartphone capabilities are infiltrating the appliance market. What are some highlights? The ability to measure the temperature of your meal in the oven without being anywhere near the kitchen—let alone at home—via a digital thermometer is huge right now. Also, you can now download recipes into your oven and watch cooking tutorials via a Wi-Fi-enabled touch-screen panel on your range, which is so useful for the amateur cook.
Let’s talk about innovations in cooking. What new options exist? If you have the space to accommodate it, steam ovens (like Miele’s ContourLine M Touch Combi-Steam version at left) should be strongly considered. There are models that let you store personal profiles to steam your vegetables or fish to the exact tenderness preferred. Wine storage and serving systems are becoming more prominent in the custom kitchen. Any suggestions? Dual-zone refrigeration is the only way to go to keep your whites, reds and champagnes at the appropriate temperatures. There are also dispensing systems—check out the Discovery WineStation by Dacor—that will serve just the right amount, from a taste to a full glass, and preserve the freshness of the rest of the unused bottle.

6ended open
Indoor-outdoor living is king right now. Blurring the lines between inside and out is particularly successful in the kitchen, where incorporating plein-air cooking, al fresco dining and edible gardens satiates an entertaining-rich lifestyle. In this California home, I-Ching Ueng—designer and manager of Poggenpohl’s San Francisco showroom—stuck to a sleek design as not to compete with the lush garden just through the disappearing sliding glass doors. Silestone countertops in White Zeus Extreme and a stainless-steel panel backsplash reflect the sunlight to further enliven the space.

THE HARDWARE Stainless steel may reign supreme, but gold and bronze details are giving the long-standing heavyweight a run for its money. The warm and luxurious finishes add a definite je ne sais quoi and can be employed on cabinets— like Rocky Mountain Hardware’s Empire pulls—or plumbing fixtures, and bridge the gap between the modern and traditional design arenas.
SURFACE
Slab stone such as marble and quartz has long been the go-to countertop material in the modern kitchen for its uniform look. Though its dominance in this arena certainly isn’t subsiding, there’s been a movement toward mixing it up with more personality-driven tilework for backsplashes, floors and feature walls. Hand-painted tiles lend a human touch to an otherwise pristine space. Though be advised: The graphic nature of this look is not for the demure design enthusiast.

HIDDEN
AGENDA
A brawny hood has always been a staple in a well-stocked kitchen, but they can be a bit of a blemish if the intent is to keep everything as simple and unassuming as possible. Enter the decorative ventilation option. These new devices are masters of disguise, hiding in plain sight in the shape of chandeliers and lighting fixtures, disappearing into countertops at the push of a button, or taking sculptural form like in Elica’s Space model that not only looks completely unexpected, but is also 35-percent quieter than traditional designs.
THE LOOK / THE REPORT
11 stable shelf
The customary formula for kitchen design reads as follows: upper and lower cabinetry, pantry, large appliances. However, open shelving concepts are breaking that mold. “We wanted a sense of openness and casual ease,” says California designer Vanessa Alexander of the kitchen space shown at left she remodeled for a Malibu beach house. “I avoid upper cabinetry as much as possible. Floating shelving provides a greater sense of space and can be dressed in such a flexible way with practical and décor items that lend life, color and texture.” Tip: Stick to a cohesive palette for any tableware on display to achieve a polished look.

Induction cooking has been a burgeoning trend in culinary technology over the past few years, competing side by side with its electric and gas counterparts. The newest offerings, such as Gaggenau’s CX 491 full-surface cooktop, right, are taking the already beloved advantages of speed and safety to the next level with intuitive free-positioning abilities. What exactly does that mean? Place cookware anywhere on the surface, and the stove will instantly detect its individual location, size and shape, heating up only that precise spot to the specified temperature. It’s so inherently practical, it’ll make you wonder where this functionality has been all along.

The kitchen drawer has been elevated countless notches with storage solutions that would make even the most meticulous homeowner weak in the knees. Shown here is SieMatic’s aluminum interior accessories system, which features an integrated spice rack, USB connections, an angled knife block and anti-slip inserts. Fully customizable, no space is lost, keeping every spatula, cutting board and measuring spoon in the order best suited to the user.

Families are gravitating toward the kitchen more and more for all aspects of living. Homework is worked on at the island, conversations are had at the breakfast bar, so it’s no wonder that the call for a more fluent dialogue between rooms is being answered. Snaidero’s Way design, for instance, showcases an open library unit and styling evocative of furniture. Modular pieces let the homeowner lay out any footprint they want to create a seamless transition from one area to the next.
The New Generation of Sub-Zero and Wolf. It is an entirely new way to think of appliances: sleek, innovative designs that incorporate the most advanced food preservation and precision cooking features of any appliance brand on Earth.

What would be your dream creative project? My greatest aspiration in starting my art gallery is to create a project that brings together a multisensory experience for the viewer. That is to say, I find that different art forms, such as music, do not oppose but enhance the way you experience other forms of art. What steps can clients take to make their experiences more personally rewarding? The client should understand the message and meaning of the artist and his work. By understanding the inner thoughts of the artist, the client discovers a kindred spirit that develops a deeper satisfaction when owning a particular piece. What are you working on next? We are pleased to have been selected as the location to open the world tour of Boris Chetkov’s works, some of which have never been seen before.
Art | BAstion Experiential and experimental, the works of Art | Bastion are procured on the criterion of originality. The uniqueness of the art, however, should not belie the value and endurance of each piece—hence the name Bastion. Sebastiano Varoli, the visionary behind the Miami-based gallery, boldly endeavored into the entrepreneurial art world with a mobile gallery in Paris. The “pop-up” locations throughout the city, he recalls, was “an approach still obscure but one that created excitement.” He attributes Peggy Guggenheim as the catalyst for his singular approach to exhibiting. “The idea of searching and representing talented young artists came to us while working for the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, drawing inspiration from the philosophy Peggy had on the importance of discovering new talent and exposing it to the public,” Varoli says. “Throughout our time in Paris, we exhibited and curated the works of both local and international artists in and around the city.” Art | Bastion maintains the same free spirit of its Parisian origins while rooting itself firmly in the culture and artistic ethos of Miami. “We are inspired by the boundless and unrestricted potential of a city like Miami, constantly growing and achieving new heights in many industries,” he says. “It is exciting to be a part of this growth and to bring Art | Bastion’s eclectic experiences to Miami, which can help shape the city’s future participation in the international art scene.” When asked about the future of Art | Bastion, Varoli held true to his gallery’s founding mission: to find artists of the highest quality for any type of client. “At Art | Bastion, we try to reach beyond the constrictions of a traditional gallery, always open to new projects and original collaborations with different creative venues such as music, food and design,” he says.

AS K T HE exp e rt What steps can clients take to make their experiences more personally rewarding? Find a builder that they can talk to and trust. Price is important, but finding someone you are comfortable with is equally important. You will be working together for many months. Describe the philosophy behind your firm. Our goal is to build projects of lasting quality and in doing so create an atmosphere that inspires the best efforts of all and exceeds the expectations of our clients. What do you regard as the greatest success in your career to date? Our greatest success has been surrounding ourselves with exceptional people, at the top of their game, who give 100 percent and take pride in their work.
Paskoski ConstruCtion Paskoski Construction has established a distinguished reputation for its rigorous approach to custom home building. Founded more than 35 years ago by Steve Paskoski, the South Florida-based builder has successfully executed hundreds of full-scale residential projects with a body of work that is as diverse as the clients they represent. “We love building—period,” enthuses Paskoski, whose impressive portfolio dots the Eastern Seaboard. “We have constructed all styles from traditional to Mediterranean to ultramodern.” Founded in 1980 upon the premise that teamwork is the key element to a successful project, Paskoski Construction has maintained its original maxim for over three decades. Kevin Brooks, the company’s vice president, exemplifes this philosophy, given that he joined the team 15 years ago as an entry-level team member and in less than two years, according to Paskoski, “was running everything in the feld.” He was made partner shortly thereafter. Together, Paskoski and Brooks construct extraordinary residences—always operating on the teamwork mantra. “Our goal is always to make everyone feel like a team going forward, working together and communicating well,” Brooks says. “That is how a job gets done in record time and with great quality.” Another component that individualizes the builders is their in-house carpentry service. The frm employs award-winning carpenters, all of whom specialize in old-world craftsmanship. “I think carpenters are the backbone of any construction project, so it’s nice to have our own guys,” Paskoski says. This aspect of the business is invaluable, especially when building modern homes, for which they are known. “Recently we have been building many modern homes, and these require excellent craftsmanship due to the long, clean, straight lines that visually draw you in,” Brooks says. “These have to be perfect. We are really good at it.”

Gus Perdomo Principal Designer Miami Shores | Wynwood 2085 Northwest 2nd Avenue Suite 105 Miami, Florida 305.926.2427 interiors@g-luxestudio.com g-luxestudio.com
G-LUXE StUdio The interiors of the Miami-based designer Gus Perdomo tell a story, each unique to the individuals who inhabit them. And like a good play, his work is structured and compelling at once. “Every project is distinct, with its own set of parameters and rules,” he says. “Getting to know the client is key to creating a meaningful space.” With notable projects throughout South Florida and abroad, Perdomo is well-known for his ability to personalize each project while incorporating a few noteworthy signatures, including photography, timeless art, crystals and old Hollywood-esque details. When asked where his affinity for design originated, Perdomo points to his mother. “Growing up with a glamorous mom in show business, who was accompanied by a stylish entourage, influenced me from an early age,” he says. “Through these experiences, I learned to think outside of the ‘glass box’ in order to create long-lasting relationships and spaces that are charged with emotion and a sense of joy.” Perdomo’s passion for creating connections between clients and their interiors might be attributable to his success as a designer and entrepreneur. In addition to receiving continued praise from his impressive roster of clients, the designer recently finalized a promising new partnership with luxury furniture and accessories brand Cassianu. “Together, G-LUXE Studio and Cassianu will have the ability to engage on a variety of residential projects, establishing an ongoing relationship that will allow clients to continuously renovate their environments through a unique luxury exchange program,” he enthuses. In working with Cassianu, Perdomo will be able to apply his personal touch to every facet of each space that he designs. Combining his intricate and sophisticated designs with an advantageous partnership, G-LUXE Studio has begun a fascinating new chapter.

Lighting Paradise From its inception, Lighting Paradise has been the product of vision, inspiration and perseverance. Upon returning from service in the United States Army, Andres Cabo took a temporary job as a lighting sales person and consultant that led him to discover a passion of a lifetime—in the lighting industry and in design. “I fell head over heels with the lighting fashion business, and the daily interaction with customers,” Andres enthuses. Together with his wife Doris, the husband-and-wife team turned their entrepreneurial venture into one of the state’s leading (and largest) lighting showrooms. “We started this business in 1992 with credit card cash advances, and now, 23 years later, we have evolved from a retail lighting showroom to actually designing lighting and selling to the public at wholesale prices,” Andres says. Located in Miami, Lighting Paradise is a full-service showroom with a focus on innovative product design and technology. “We are at the forefront of South Florida’s LED lighting movement, bringing in new, cost-saving innovations fresh from the top lighting fields,” Doris shares. In addition to leading-edge inventory, the team at Lighting Paradise is service-centric, offering “white-glove” treatment to each client. “Our first mission is to ensure not only value and pricing, but to give the client white-glove service and make sure that they are inspired by their lighting choices,” Andres says. Servicing a diverse clientele throughout the United States, Central America, South America and the Caribbean, Lighting Paradise offers a breadth of experience and insight into multicultural trends and design movements. “We pride ourselves in catering to every taste, style and budget to bring functional and beautiful lighting fixtures to the homes we have the pleasure of illuminating,” Andres says.

BOTTOM: This geometric, contemporary fixture is made with Lighting Paradise’s newest, most energy-efficient LED system. Every level of this lamp has the ability to be lowered to different heights and angled in many different ways to create an exciting, new shape.
What is your creative process? What is your favorite part of it? I visualize what the client wants to accomplish décor wise and what function they want out of their lighting fixture. I then grab their ideas and strive to make them come true with our design team. The most exciting part of this journey is experiencing the client’s delight, seeing their concept come to life as envisioned. What are your favorite styles to work on and why? My favorite style to work on is contemporary crystal lighting. There is so much you can do with it. It merges two styles, and time periods in history, into one. What are you working on next? We’re expanding our design capabilities to include energyefficient LED lighting in all aspects of the lighting scheme for each home or project.

The home’s sense of color and style begins at the entry, where a 1970s Pop art piece by Beverly Waltner—purchased at Visiona—greets visitors along with a mosaic-and-bronze table from Dual, found through 1stdibs, and a vintage ’70s Danish shag rug from Nihil Novi.
S
et against the lush backdrop of Key Biscayne, a sculptural house pops against the tropical surroundings—its interlocking white rectangular forms epitomizing Miami modern architecture. Resplendent with a diverse array of contemporary art and vintage furniture, the house has a sense of festivity that begins as soon as one enters its colorful fusion of indoor and outdoor spaces. “Living here is a dream come true,” says Maria Zambrano, the design-savvy owner who calls this place home along with her husband, Eddy Saade, and their children. “I was immediately struck by her excitement and passion,” recalls designer Robert Rionda, who worked in close collaboration with Maria to outfit the interiors. “She came to our first dinner together with an inspiration book like I’ve never seen before. It was overflowing with ideas ranging from pictures of pop stars to jewelry, colors and furniture—it was eclectic in the best way.” To begin, the architect, Bruno Elias Ramos, made the more uncommon decision to place the swimming pool in the front of the house, as opposed to the back, behind a tree-lined garden wall by landscape designer Michael Thiel. This allowed the entire ground floor—be it the living and dining rooms at the home’s entrance or the open kitchen and family room in back—to wrap around the pool, making it a focal point. The family often gathers around its infinity edge and an adjacent barbecue area. “You can see the pool from each of the public rooms through sliding glass doors,” says Ramos, who delineated the floor plan and also served as the home’s builder. Equally striking is a rooftop deck with even more picturesque vistas. “Outside, the downstairs areas are the more active spaces, while the upstairs is more passive,” Ramos says. “On the rooftop terrace, you can watch the sunset with a cocktail and enjoy the views of Key Biscayne’s treetops, Biscayne Bay and the downtown skyline.” Because the house has wide-open spaces and an abundance of windows looking out onto nature, Rionda wanted to infuse the interiors with a wealth of color.
“Rich, vibrant colors allow the eye to focus on the art and furnishings.” –Robert Rionda
“The use of rich and vibrant tones, as opposed to a neutral palette, allows the eye to focus on the art and furnishings that we curated while still appreciating the architecture and views of the landscape,” Rionda says. But there was an extra challenge: The homeowners didn’t see eye-to-eye stylistically. Maria liked modern furnishings while her husband preferred a more traditional lean. “My husband likes dark, rustic materials like stone and wood,” Maria says. “But Robert helped to reconcile our tastes.” In the double-height living room, the focal point is a large 10-by-7-foot photograph the couple had commissioned before the home was completed. It depicts the mountainous Venezuelan capital of Caracas, from which they emigrated. The photo, titled Blue Caracas by Vicente Diez, is broken up into a multi-square grid; its pattern is picked up in a Don Harvey Bones screen, found at John Salibello, separating the living and dining rooms. The tones of the sky in the photo also inspired the selection of Clarence House’s blue fabric to reupholster the living room’s curved midcentury sofa by Vladimir Kagan. The nearby dining room was designed to host formal dinner parties without feeling too formal. Thus, it elegantly pairs vintage Venini chandeliers with classic furniture including a long, custom sideboard. Yet the conversation piece among guests invariably becomes a bronze sculpture that Maria covered in colorful balloons. Originally it was in a play area for the kids, but Rionda—appreciating its blend of old-world tradition and Pop art fun—suggested a prominent place beside the dining table. Around the corner is the family room, a more casual area where the entire family can gather, yet the space still seems grown-up because it’s filled with eye-catching art and worldly objects, such as a 1970s chrome coffee table and a vintage English rug in bold reds and blues. If most of the house boasts colorful furniture and art, then the kitchen exhibits a simpler, more functional elegance with high-gloss white cabinets, white quartz countertops and an island topped in stainless steel. “Not many of my clients ask for stainless steel, but Maria is a serious cook, so for her it was important for the kitchen to be not only beautiful but also functional,” says Jorge Rodriguez, who, along with business partner Juan Carlos Quijano, worked with Maria to bring her dream kitchen to life. Upstairs, the master bedroom serves as a respite from vivacious family life, with room for a sitting area for watching television, as well as a small floating desk. Mitch McGee’s Pop art piece of a woman’s face overlooks the space, along with art Maria made with her son, titled My Heart is Yours (Handle with Care), using wood, paint and stickers that read “fragile.” Although the house is full of distinctive furniture and art, it’s the passions of both clients and designers that make the house sing. “For me, creating this house was an amazing experience,” Maria says. “I loved showing my kids that there are so many ways to be creative. But it also comes down to Robert and the rest of the team. They knew what we wanted even better than we did.” luxe interiors + design / 271

“DESIGN IS SERIOUS BUSINESS. BUT OUR PIECES ARE MEANT TO EVOKE HUMOR AND PLAYFULNESS, AND HOPEFULLY HELP PEOPLE ENJOY THAT SIDE OF THEMSELVES.” -MICHAEL PEREZ

ita Motta Perez possesses the uncanny ability to wrap herself in a piece of fabric and know instantly how it will translate into an accent pillow. “If it would make a good dress,” she says, “it would look good in a room.” Along with her husband and business partner, Michael Perez, she is one-half of the powerhouse duo behind design atelier Mr. O. From their studio in the burgeoning creative enclave of Miami Ironside, the twosome’s imaginative synergy results in cutting-edge rugs, furniture, accessories and jewelry, as well as interior design collaborations. In short, she draws and sketches, while he determines how the designs work together and takes their eclectic mix of products to market. “I just try and keep up with her mile-a-minute mind,” says Perez, who fell hard 15 years ago when he walked into South Miami design boutique Arango and spied his future wife. “I was not in a great mood that day, and then I see this beautiful woman on a ladder wearing high heels,” he recalls. “In that moment, everything changed.” Wearing heels even on a precarious perch only hinted at her steadfast commitment to all things design, a dedication her husband would embrace with equal fervor. “We are not normal people; we personify design,” says Motta Perez, who studied furniture and product design and architecture while she was in her native Italy. “We even match our toothbrushes to the color of the toothpaste. We can’t help ourselves.” The couple’s eccentric creations—like the elaborate necklaces Motta Perez handcrafts using
silicon, clay and resin—command attention and impart whimsy with their cheerful overtones. Take their vibrant rugs for Tai Ping—no quiet neutral backdrops here. Instead, the exuberant saturated magenta, citron and vermilion hues sculpted from wool and silk into a bubble pattern are just as likely to end up on the wall. And a shimmering gold bubble cabinet, inspired by champagne that effervesces like a fine Moët & Chandon, is at once quirky and elegant. “The cabinets in the Welk collection have a personality of their own, but they blend very well with antiques and modern furniture and objects,” says Perez, who studied fashion illustration and honed his knowledge of the design industry while working for Holly Hunt and Stephanie Odegard Collection. At the core of all they produce is a firm shared embrace of the child within. “Design is serious big business,” says Perez. “But our pieces are meant to evoke humor and playfulness, and hopefully help people enjoy that side of themselves.”

I
n a home where an art collection includes works from such big names as Mel Bochner, Jean Dubuffet and Takashi Murakami, the term “artists in residence” takes on a whole new meaning. Employing vibrant colors, bold messages and graphic lines, the artists more than reside—they influence. And interior designer Allison Paladino took creative cues from these works to devise a dynamic design that not only complements the art but also stands on its own. The owners were looking for a vacation home in South Florida where they could visit with their two grown sons and spend quality family time together. They also wanted a sun-drenched space to showcase their powerhouse collection of contemporary art, which, in addition to those mentioned above, includes Damien Hirst’s butterflies seen in the entry, Yaacov Agam’s kinetic sculpture in the living room, and an Andy Warhol in one of the hallways. “Coming in with this art collection, they needed natural light, tall ceilings and room for the art to breathe,” says Paladino, noting the owners’ art advisor, New York-based Lisa Marie Marks, who has helped them procure many of their works. When the clients spotted a Mediterranean-style house—designed by architect Scott Disher and built by Marc Julien—they immediately fell in love with its light and proportions. With vaulted coffered ceilings, expansive windows, long, high hallways, and even a niche perfect for their Dubuffet, the house couldn’t be more accommodating, while classical architectural elements add elegance and visual interest. “The arches keep in theme with the Mediterranean style, whether it’s the radius bay window or the entry,” says Julien. All it needed, architecturally, were more individual retreats for the owners’ sons. To remedy this, Julien and Disher replaced two small guest rooms on the east side of the home with a mini master bedroom and bath, and added a second floor on top of it to house an identical suite. Paladino designed the interior architectural details and specified finishes for the new bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as the added stairway with back-painted glass and oak treads. For the remaining interiors, Paladino and her senior designer and junior partner, Zita Rudd, emphasized the notion of family and comfort. “I saw their old house and understood their need to be comfortable,” says Paladino.

are kept cozy and casual with clean lines and a neutral palette incorporating pops of blue that play off the nearby art. In the living room, for instance, a pair of shimmering royal blue club chairs mingles with the Yves Klein torso in cobalt blue— known in the art world, of course, as International Klein Blue, an electric shade the artist created and patented in 1960. A portrait by Alex Katz offers a complementary contrast—its orange hue lying across from that IKB in the color wheel. And Paladino was thrilled that a Donghia sectional she had been admiring would fit perfectly in this space, because it was large enough to give the substantial sofa some air. “The fact that I could float it in the room was important for a piece like this,” she says of its sculptural form. “It’s a perfect complement to the art since it’s also edgy.” In the more casual family room, which opens up to the kitchen and breakfast nook, a plush chenille-covered Sir Martin sofa—from Paladino’s E.J. Victor collection—anchors the space. Thanks to its canted back and recessed side panels that add interest, this sofa is also ideal for floating in a room, and the custom oversize leather ottoman begs not only for the husband’s feet but for those of the whole family, as well. Texture abounds in the patterned wool rugs here and in the living room, both designed by Paladino. “They’re multilevel rugs, so they have a lot of depth,” she says. “The three-dimensional quality gives them an architectural feeling.”
Adjacent to the family room, the breakfast nook is an extension of the laid-back feel—views of the pool certainly help keep it airy and light. Two curved open-back benches and a couple of side chairs clad in a fun zebra print encircle a custom-designed glass-top table; the upholstery continues the blue palette found throughout the house. Cascading industrial lights bring warmth to the rounded cove. The nearby dining room, however, is a distinct counterpoint for more formal occasions. Soft parchment-colored walls, sheer draperies and a sparkling chandelier complement the graphic simplicity of the large-scale works by Ted Stamm and Georges Noël. Even the chairs are sculptural, with their sinuous curves and tufted backs. The palette of cream and blue continues in the spacious master suite, where the design is intentionally softer. Here, navy is a quieter accent, and the details—a tufted headboard, French Deco-inspired bedside tables, a velvet bench, floral shams, pretty handle pulls—are what Paladino calls “transitional twists” that lend a more feminine feel. If a cozy gallery sounds like an oxymoron, Paladino proves otherwise. Now, when the family of four comes together for some quality time, the mood is relaxed and easy, and art can be appreciated from all corners of the home.
Textures are found in the master bedroom in a Thomas Pheasant bench wearing an inviting navy velvet and an elegant sideboard by Barbara Barry with a ribbed lacquer face; both are from Baker.

CULTURE SHOCK alfredo guzmà n and isaac perelman run their wynwood gallery with a collaborative spirit, building artists’ relationships with each other, the city of miami and the world at large. written by taryn bickley / photography by sonya revell

ynwood is concrete proof that Miami has its own force. It’s young, it makes mistakes, it experiments, and it materializes; it’s an urban phenomenon that gives back to its society.” Such is the philosophy of Alfredo Guzmán, a former architect who has become a preeminent Miami gallerist along with Isaac Perelman, a one-time TV producer, and previously the president of the Miami Art Dealers Association. Together, their synergy, collaborative freedom and supportive nature have created an all-out buzz in the Wynwood Arts District. Named after the symbol that indicates a piece of art has been sold (dot) and the street address of the duo’s first gallery (51), their latest endeavor, Dot Fiftyone Gallery, “aims to be the intermediate step between cultural institutions and artists,” says Guzmán. Equal parts incubator, exhibit space and production laboratory, the gallery provides the opportunity for unknown and post-emerging artists to interact locally, nationally and globally while being educated through a unique and nurturing process. Representing Latin American artists like Gonzalo Fuenmayor, Marcos Castro and Raquel Schwartz, along with other international and domestic names, the pair reach an audience of collectors both established and new to the art scene. “We like to work with novice collectors who are willing to grow as the art and artist matures,” Perelman says. “But we also like to mention the bigger local collectors, such as developer Jorge Pérez. He’s made great public contributions by making art acquisitions for his real estate projects a priority.” Guzmán and Perelman think this type of symbiotic support is crucial to the survival of Miami’s arts and cultural scene, which is why they frequent local institutions themselves, like the nonprofit O Cinema, The Embassy for live music, and the New World Symphony. While the success of each artist is gratifying, what Guzmán and Perelman especially relish is the moment when a piece of art moves on. “Placing the works of an artist into the hands of an admirer is most exciting,” says Perelman. “Positively influencing the growth of our artists and the gallery at the same time is truly inspiring.”
“WYNWOOD IS CONCRETE PROOF THAT MIAMI HAS ITS OWN FORCE. IT’S AN URBAN PHENOMENON THAT GIVES BACK TO ITS SOCIETY.” -Alfredo GuzmÁn

F “It may not be apparent at FIrst glance, but thIs Is a truly lIved-In FamIly home.” -Ivonne ronderos
310 / luxe interiors + design
or a young family of six that splits their time between Florida and Brazil, establishing a sense of personal space was a driving factor when designing their new house in Miami. After purchasing a sprawling Mediterraneanstyle structure in a sought-after suburban neighborhood, the owners gutted it to make the home more in line with their family-focused lifestyle and modern aesthetic. To achieve this, the wife called on designer Ivonne Ronderos after seeing her firm’s work in a friend’s home. “Our challenge,” says Ronderos, “was balancing ‘minimalism’ with ‘homey’ so it would be comfortable for the kids. It may not be apparent at first glance, but this is a truly lived-in family home.” First, architect Jorge L. Esteban of Accolade Construction Company and designer Philip Chappelle— of Philip Chappelle Design—came on board in the early stages to modernize the Mediterranean lines of the house and develop the interior space planning. Ronderos and her associates at DKOR Interiors then stepped in to further modernize the home and attend to every detail. The wife’s desired color palette was mostly white, with natural textures added for warmth, and spaces were to be spare and visually uncluttered—no heavy window treatments, for example. Wires, outlets and light switches were to remain unseen and, whenever possible, furniture should hang on the walls to keep the floor space clean. The deadline: 10 months. “Our client had very specific ideas and an acute design eye. She definitely kept us on our toes,” says Ronderos with a laugh. “We guided her a lot, but she took the lead and became part of the design team.” Working closely with builder Joey Newman (“Our partner in crime,” says Ronderos), DKOR delivered a meticulously detailed home where function is just as important as form. They not only honored the wife’s requests but also took them to levels beyond, resulting in a modern design that is as playful as it is elegant and as sophisticated as it is family-friendly. The home’s bright, soaring spaces are warmed with bamboo, linen and controlled doses of vivid color. Vanities, tables and shelving hover, legless, above the floors, and
A light fixture made by Yellow Goat Design pierces through a floating console from Bon, Balance Order Nature in the foyer; both pieces are custom designs by DKOR Interiors. A mirror from Addison House adds geometric flair.

Mirrored doors conceal storage and a passageway to the butler’s pantry. Right: A Roche Bobois sofa offers a place to lounge in the media room. The red Rock Garden pendant by Lepere forms an artsy vignette, along with an orange bent-glass Spider table by SovetItalia and art from the owners’ collection. Opposite: Bamboo paneling behind the shelving and on one of the islands contrasts the otherwise all-white Snaidero kitchen. Stools are from Bon, Balance Order Nature, and the adjacent island has wheels for easy mobility. Compac quartz countertops are from Fine Surfaces and More; a B.Lux pendant adds a dash of red.

The refurbished pool area is outfitted with a coffee table by Poliform and modern seating. Vibia’s Plis outdoor pendants from Carlos Leon & Associates appear to dangle from the sky. Landscape architect Lewis Aqüi, of Lewis Aqüi Landscape + Architectural Design, created a lush, tropical setting that softens the home’s modernity.
through clever use of recessed metal baseboards and indirect lighting, walls appear weightless. Light fixtures hang in the air, and doors and frames are flush with the walls so sightlines are unbroken. “The homeowner wanted windows anywhere and everywhere possible,” says Ronderos. “And where we couldn’t put windows, she installed solar tubes to bring in sunlight.” In the dining room, a cloud-like light fixture floats above a custom glass-and-wood table, and off-white leather chairs with curved chrome legs add softness to the horizontal planes. Panels of mirrored glass reflect the view of the backyard in the adjacent room, providing the windowless space with the illusion of natural light. Hidden behind the panels is a secret door leading to the kitchen and a mirrored wet bar with a single orange panel that conceals additional storage. In lieu of a bulky buffet, a ledge pulls out of the wall and locks into place; when not needed, it folds back into its niche, disappearing from sight. Bamboo envelops the media room, extending from the floor to the ceiling behind the television, where it conceals wires and storage drawers. Adjacent recessed shelving keeps toys and games tidy and close-at-hand. “We used the bamboo to obscure the storage instead of building a huge wall unit,” says Ronderos. “It’s functional and looks cleaner and more beautiful.”
Upstairs, the master bedroom and the children’s spaces were treated to the same level of thought and design detail as the public spaces on the floors below. In the study area, which features a sleek desktop backed with orange magnetic glass, each child has a designated computer station and file cabinets for schoolwork and supplies. Unlike their sisters, the two boys share a room, but privacy can easily be achieved at the push of a button: A partition lowers from the ceiling, dividing the room in two. It retracts entirely into the roof, leaving only a thin line on the ceiling in its wake. Although the beauty and success of the custom design elements lie in their subtle presentation, their execution required substantial amounts of thought, planning and precision, according to Newman. “So many people have to be on same page to get it just right. But it’s the effort and attention to detail that make this house stand apart,” he says. “The homeowners didn’t just want everything to look good—they wanted to build a quality home.” They also wanted to create a place to forge family memories. “Our client was very thoughtful about how her family lived, and she was a perfectionist in the best possible way. No detail was overlooked,” say Ronderos. “It was a definite challenge, but she taught us how to seek perfection in our own work, and that was the greatest lesson.”
“It’s the effort and attentIon to detaIl that make thIs house stand apart.” –Joey newman

A B&B Italia daybed from Luminaire lends a sculptural quality, and a grid of skylights above allows sunshine to flood the space. Opposite: Bamboo floors from Carpet Creations, installed by EvenSurfaces, and Phillip Jeffries’ wallpaper add texture to the master suite; Kartell’s mirror and Mademoiselle chair await in the dressing area. In the master bath, Robern mirrors lift to uncover storage and outlets; the vanity and tub surround are by Porcelanosa.

A separate seating area behind beaded drapery from Ball Chain Manufacturing features a Panton chair.
