INTRODUCTION D E F IN I N G
AMERICAN CONTEMPORARY
A contrast to the ornament found in their historic city centers, the contemporary design aesthetic crafted by the designers of centuries-old Europe envelops precise organization in a shroud of high-gloss lacquer. For those in the Far East, it is instead a preference for overt minimalism and advanced technologies. But in the United States, the home of the brave, three centuries of abundant exploration, invention, and innovation have shaped an aesthetic that is all their own. Encompassing a celebration of heritage, an embrace of tradition, and a connection to nature, the American concept of contemporary design is home-grown, grass roots, and even a little Bohemian. Where standardization and a “less is more” mentality are the global norm, the American interpretation of contemporary design takes pride in the individual. Maintaining a deep-seated respect for the maker, American Contemporary encourages the craftsperson, the artist, the designer, the visionary to leave behind marks of their own. It was the marks of the late Michael Graves, the Neoclassical embellishments adorning his iconic architecture, that came to symbolize an era of excess. The simple details and uncomplicated finishes adorning the furniture still crafted by the Shaker communities today reflect their commitment to a faith rooted firmly in hard work. And a profound appreciation for the natural landscape inspired the long, low open plan structures of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie Style, a radical departure from the structured spaces of the nineteenth century. These unique marks – fingerprints, if you will – while having a ripple effect on the world around them, at their most basic, are simple reflections of the maker’s influences and inspirations. The same sentiment can be found in the fifteen kitchen designs featured here. Each culinary concept represents fundamental simplicity and modern functionality as well as the unique traits of their designers. Together they highlight a decorative style that celebrates the adventurous spirit of a great nation.

Often, the rigid formality of classic architecture and the barren sterility found in minimal environments result in a design that emphasizes aesthetics instead of its occupants. Eschewing predefined rules and solid boundaries, the American Contemporary aesthetic finds visual perfection in the careful balance of personal whims and fancies. In Park Ridge, oversize drum pendants, a monolithic ventilation hood, and a commanding armoire hiding the kitchen’s refrigeration combine with a quiet palette of neutral finishes. The result is a relaxed environment where the homeowner’s personality is on display.

There is no shortage of evidence to support the theory that American explorers were hopeless romantics, each exploration fueled only by their wild imaginations. On the surface, the collection of organic elements finished in shades of amber and coffee are a visual connection between a light-filled kitchen and the Maryland woodlands. These earthy influences, the fanciful imaginations of early American dreamers as our muse, become a subtle nod to the untamed forests described in tall tales of Wild-West exploration. Enhanced by radiant light from two open lanterns, this space leaves utilitarian function behind. Here, reality fades away revealing a whimsical tale inspired by the best storyteller of all – Mother Nature.

While the rest of the world embraced overthe-top decoration, it was the 19th century Shaker communities that favored austerity and practicality. Their work, founded in the belief that quality handiwork through hard work was itself an act of prayer, was designed to serve a higher power. Ultimately, it was this steadfast faith that made the Shakers the fathers of the American Contemporary aesthetic. However, it is their embrace of solid forms and crisp details, the result of their dedication to perfection, that makes the work of the Shakers a source of inspiration for this coastal San Diego kitchen. Devoid of distraction from visual clutter, the open space reflects the same principles adhered to by early American artisans – quality, simplicity, functionality. And like the work of the Shakers, it too serves a higher purpose: to bring together family and friends in the joyful act of breaking bread.

At the cornerstone of American innovation is an eagerness to take what exists and transform it into something even better – the proverbial lemons into lemonade. Simply “making do” and playing the cards dealt is unacceptable. For a homeowner and his crafty designer, old-fashioned ingenuity and an unwillingness to settle inspired a creative finishing technique. Applied by hand to the wood plank walls and beefy ceiling timbers in his Sonoma kitchen, the bespoken finish infuses rustic charm into the contemporary space. Elsewhere, open stainless steel shelving and a simple marble backsplash eliminate visual clutter. In this truly special winecountry kitchen it isn’t just a custom, one-off finish that is on display but also a sense of well-deserved accomplishment – the perfect complement to an earthy California Merlot.

Cleanliness is close to godliness, or so they say. And it was in the not-so-bygone kitchens of our grandmothers and their mothers that ill-conceived perceptions of sterilization gave way to an epidemic of white, hospital green, and buttery yellow kitchens. Scientific innovation, medical advancement, and color TV have rendered those dull, lifeless kitchens a thing of the past. Today, color is key, brilliant technicolor hues giving classic American styling an inspired update. Combined, like the sea-inspired blue finish applied to the Shaker-inspired cabinetry of this California kitchen, they lend youthful exuberance and a light-hearted sense of welcome to the contemporary culinary workspace.

“Less is more”. It is an age-old adage that sums up in three short words what might just be the secret of life. It is a simple emphasis on the importance of quality, be it of life or things. It is a reminder to focus on those objectives that matter most. More so, especially in the simple aesthetics inherent in American Contemporary design, it is a perception of value. When there is less to be had, it has greater value. When just a handful of architectural details exist, as in this lakeside Chicago kitchen, every small, seemingly inconsequential element becomes more valuable. The extra effort necessary to align vertically and horizontally this kitchen’s cabinet doors and drawers, its hardware and glass panes, and even the details of its exhaust hood more than likely resulted in one too many sleepless nights. However, it is the perception that everything is in its place that makes the effort worthwhile.

To see with one’s hands. To touch with one’s eyes. At the center of every successful design is a sensory experience which transcends physical barriers. The five senses work in unison; one enhancing another. The mind’s eye often perceives touch and sight as one and the same. Easily cleanable and sanitary surfaces being paramount, visual texture is most important in culinary environments. Smooth surfaces, like the heavily veined marble, silvered wood-tone, and hammered steel, take on the appearance of depth and movement. The final result is an interior that stimulates, inspires, and welcomes its occupants.

As with multi-lane highways and grocery store checkout lanes, the perception of order inherent to classical design stems from a faithful adherence to well-defined boundaries. It is by staying between these lines in the proverbial sense that traditional modes of decoration achieve their appearance of formality. In the development of one’s unique style, a cornerstone of American Contemporary design, lines are meant merely as suggestions while playful discovery is encouraged. Like the enlarged subway tile installed in this Atlanta kitchen, the decorative elements of structure and conformity, once enlarged, shrunken, or skewed, gain new-found importance. The result is a contemporary space with added layers of depth and dimension.

To be, or not to be – a rebel that is. On one hand, there is the push to adhere to mainstream convention, to keep up with the proverbial Joneses so to speak. On the other, there is the pressing desire to be different, authentic, and the truest representation of one’s self. Quickly changing trends and weak market fads only make it worse. Inside the toolbox of the American Contemporary designer there is, however, a solution that balances personal expression with popular standards. The POP. It is quiet solid surface counters with a heavy slab of raw-edge butcher block in this Dallas kitchen. Or its stainless steel commercial-grade appliances and custom industrial-inspired shelving. It is James Dean meets the Stepford Wives. It’s Lucy AND Ricky. It is a burst of design meant to be an outward extension of the occupant’s unique self. Most importantly, it is being a rebel... with a cause.

At its core, the American Contemporary aesthetic is a decorative expression of individual style. It is, however, a foundation firmly planted in the basic human desire for stability that ultimately influences its final execution. Call it the designer’s “fall-back school” or “financial nest-egg”. It is from these solid footings that the risks taken are done so intelligently and with the possibility of great reward. Take this Southern California culinary space, for example. Wide swaths of raw-edge marble and a monochromatic color palette might be perceived as simply “playing it safe”. But here they encourage and support the dramatic elements – a sinuous range hood and dramatic backsplash – that give this showplace depth and character.

R E I N V E N T I O N In the name of progress, heritage and history are often sacrificed. To move forward, the old and useless must make way for the newest, the most advanced, and the most innovative. To become obsolete is fatal. The American Contemporary design concept, however, is founded in an effort to preserve time-honored craft and traditional technique. Exemplified by this grand New Orleans kitchen, a strong, contemporary aesthetic comes from the contrast of yesterday against today and tomorrow. Together, the blend of old and new elements – an ornate folk-art chandelier, a monolithic waterfall island, a seamless stainless steel ventilation hood – gives roots to a modern space. Here, where vestiges of earlier days serve a new purpose, a great city’s colorful past becomes a dramatic part of its future.

To the urban dweller, a move to the suburbs can be either a vicious nightmare or a welcome opportunity to finally stretch their legs. It is from the living spaces of those who embrace the latter, their emphasis on spacious light-filled spaces, that the ranch-style house was born. Most often envisioned as the mid-century era California abode, these single floor residences anchored by vaulted great rooms and open-plan kitchens remain as the popular perception of American Contemporary design. With an expansive island designed for entertaining at its center, this Belmont kitchen draws inspiration from the same modernist inspired principle, evoking visions of long summer nights spent in the company of friends. Even better, the dream is further enhanced by the addition of a vestige of the mid-century – the integrated wet bar.

June Cleaver. Lucy Ricardo. Carol Brady. Three iconic female personalities who, with the help of a little Hollywood magic, came to represent the perfect union of domestic utility and alluring elegance. It was in their imagined worlds that a crisp apron and a string of pearls were almost always worn together. While the pearls have been relegated to a locked jewelry box and the apron has all but disappeared, the nostalgic sentiment continues to thrive, inspiring culinary workspaces that are both functional and elegant. High above the streets of Houston, in a kitchen that is at once Trophy Wife and Working Girl, user function is elevated with the addition of thick slabs of high-gloss stone, smooth swaths of natural wood, and crisp steel hardware. Surrounded by such luxurious appointments, one might just feel inspired enough to don their classic pearls while finishing the evening’s dishes.

Through the covers of the Saturday Evening Post, Popular Science, and LIFE, Norman Rockwell treated readers around the world to a stylized glimpse into small-town living. His idyllic portraits of everyday life reflected the cultural conventions and social interactions of the ordinary American, typically underscored by the act of breaking bread. While his images remain today as the mainstream perception of a life lived long ago, food, however, continues to be a catalyst for human connection, playing an important role in American Contemporary design. The kitchen today is no longer a work center behind closed doors but is instead, like this classic Chicago space, a center for social gathering. As did Rockwell’s soda fountain years ago, an expansive marble-top island and glass-fronted cabinetry displaying sentimental objects encourage those bonds built over a meal, a glass of wine, and homework while provoking memories from the Good Old Days.

It all started with a tea party. At first only a casual gathering of Colonial-era gentlemen in a New England harbor, their rebellious tea ceremony set in motion two-and-a-half centuries of throwing caution to the wind and breaking with convention. White after Labor Day. A brown belt and black shoes. Or, such as the case in rural Connecticut, rustic timber and white, highgloss. To break the rules is unequivocally American. And to break the formal boundaries of conventional design is to be American Contemporary. Sleek industrial elements stand in harmonious contrast to time-worn salvaged materials, proof enough that there are just some rules that are meant to be broken.
