A VISION TO THE FUTURE

Getting lost and discovering a new place is the ultimate inspiration

A

s a designer there’s really nothing quite like finding yourself in a totally new place, perhaps even a bit disoriented. Looking around to make sense of your surroundings and realising everything is new. In this sense, I feel getting lost and discovering new things is the ultimate inspiration.

Many of our furniture, product designs and interiors are inspired by historic cultures and the stories, architecture, lifestyles, cuisine and palettes that have lived and thrived for generations.

Through photography and sketching we capture nuances and moments that speak to us. Then, translate them into designs that are modern and relevant; always looking to the past to what has come before and learning from classic concepts with an eye to the future.

I admire contemporaries’ who have mastered this such as I. M. Pei with his reimagined Parisian glass pyramids or Rem Koolhaas’s futuristic Birds Nest Coliseum in Beijing.

The pyramid is one of the World’s oldest architectural forms and the Roman Coliseum is and iconic reference to classicism, however these ideas have been transformed creating something new altogether; cultural centric architecture with an eye to the future.

It’s all about following the rules and breaking them at the same time.

BRIDGE FOR DESIGN WINTER 2018

With a global perspective and so much innovation it’s such an exciting time to be a designer. In the past year we have traveled the World taking in new cultures and trends from the Shanghai and Guangzhou Furniture Fair’s to High Point Market; there really isn’t a better way to get inspired than to find yourself lost in these fabulous design exhibitions.

We are seeing a lot of new movements on the horizon.

There is definitely a trend to freshen up palettes with uplifting sorbet colours like Creamsicle and soft Watermelon juxtapose rich jewel tones such as Emerald Green and Marlow. Everything soft paired with everything bold and elegant.

Colour is just the beginning though, mixed materials, fringe and passementerie, mixed metals and pattern-onpattern creating contemporary arrangements all offset by ultra-modern plush silhouettes. Overstated scale and a bit whimsy, a nod to postmodernism and the Memphis movement make way for a new fashion.

This season I am most inspired by the amazing talent of India Madavi with her high style boutique, textile and product designs and the ever-impressive up-and-coming Laura Gonzalez with her stunning 86 Champs L’Occitane & Pierre Herme shop in Paris. What could possibly be better than wonderful design paired with French macaroons and fragrances? A few of my favorite things.

Both creators seem to have their thumb on pop culture and the design curve with their thoughtful use of colour, shape, pattern, materials, lighting and space. Collected and assembled, something old and something new, these original styles feel fresh and timeless. Other French and Italian taste makers that spoke to us are Etro’s all new home collection where more is decidedly more, Pierre Fray’s Native American take and Dedar’s playful seductive new textile offerings.

We are ever inspired; I cannot wait to see where these trends take us next!

NEW APPROACH TO COLOUR Learn to embrace the bold hues in spaces

W

hen the Pantone Colour Institute named Ultraviolet as colour of the year for 2018, they cited its mysteriousness and spiritual qualities which “energise communities and inspire connection.” The use of colour as an emotional marker is not new, and yet in interiors the affective nature of colour palettes is often forgotten for a more rigid design based approach.

As an artist and design, I champion an intuitive approach to colour and regard it as a powerful tool with which to lift the mood of spaces.

My designs all begin their lives as artworks – created to express and explore. Experimenting with composition, colours and pattern has always been at the centre of my work and carrying this instinctual process over to the interiors world has given me a freedom with my palette.

When it comes to using colours in spaces, I advocate embracing the bold. Often we can get used to neutrals because we feel they are safe - but sometimes they can stifle a space rather than expand it.

I’ve never been afraid of colour, I celebrate it, and my own home is a testament to this – the main wing of a country pile with traditional English features. I’ve used sunshine yellow, duck egg blue, even a rich aubergine purple in various rooms. Rather than clash with the classical

About Susi Bellamy

S

usi Bellamy creates vibrant, colourful interiors based on original and unique artwork painted in the studio, and hand marbled paper designs created using a traditional technique. Her artwork is inspired by her great love of colour, her background as a fashion editor and her time working and living in Florence.

The designs feature rich, exuberant colours and recall the layering and marbling of paint. This brings to mind the rough texture of ancient Palazzo wall surfaces with spaces that seem to contain their own layers of distance and perspective, encrusted with strata of both landscape and surface decoration. The rich texture and subtle mark making created in Susi’s paintings and papers are digitally transferred to both luxurious velvet and mica wallpaper.

This high quality printing process harnesses the rich texture of the artwork onto the surface and emphasises the dynamism and depth of her designs.

interiors, the colours bring the home into the 21st century and play with the unexpectedness of the combinations.

This playfulness extends to the walls – where my own wallpaper designs have been extended to cover the ceilings and completely immerse guests in their abstraction.

A decoupaged set of antique drawers in my Orange Feathered design perfectly summarises the ‘old meets new’ spirit of contemporary eclecticism pioneered by brands like Seletti and House of Hackney.

If anyone asks me how to introduce colour into a space I say, start with an ‘exclamation mark’ and go from there.

My bold cushions designs can work on more muted sofas as they draw the eye in to the central living space.

Even just one can add a playful, vibrant focal point that will affect the ambience of the space. They are art for the sofa and an affordable and easy alternative to a full interiors overhaul.

Finally, in a world where self-care takes on an increasingly broad definition, colour in the home must not be underestimated as a revitalising source of life and energy. After the saturated 20th century (characterised by the much-maligned ‘avocado bathroom’), a period of sleek minimalism reigned. All-white-everything and polished chrome were seen as the sanctuary from the modern world.

However, in 2018, with the influence of maximalism and an increasing desire for individualism the rainbow is being reintroduced to the home as a way to reflect personality and reprogramme our mood with a visual boost. Yellow stimulates intellectual judgement, making it ideal for libraries or home offices. Green is calming, red makes one more alert…

To summarise, I regard our homes as a respite from the outside world and believe it’s time we stopped approaching our interiors purely as design projects and instead welcome a new way of using colour: to create a haven that at once uplifts us, and reflects our creative personalities.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.

THE GREAT LINEN REVIVAL

This breathable fabric lends a relaxed freshness to a room

T

here are without doubt some advantages to modern fabric mixes but the bottom line is that nothing looks or feels like a pure natural fabric and of all these fabrics, linen perhaps has the most enduring appeal for interiors – it certainly does for me.

My own personal linen story has involved the fanatical pursuit of a mad dream to create new linens that look and feel like old linens. Why? Because there is nothing quite like the softness and subtly of colour that comes to an old linen, where its life story is somehow bound into the fabric. Other fabrics look worn and old over time. Linen somehow only improves.

Of course, linen is known to be a tough and hard-wearing textile. It’s why it has been the go to fabric for kitchens and bedrooms throughout history. Have a rummage through any French brocante and you will find old linens that are still entirely serviceable, unlike their cotton cousins.

During the twentieth century however linen was very much out of favour in interiors. There had always been an element of linen being seen as a utilitarian, and therefore far from luxurious, fabric.

In the Sixties and Seventies the world was embracing the new, synthetic, fabrics with gusto.

In the Eighties there was a return to a more traditional look but where linen was used for interior textiles it would generally be in Linen

Interiors have become relaxed and comfortable

About Caroline Inchyra

C

aroline Inchyra launched the Inchyra fabric collection in 2012 from her home in the foothills of the Scottish highlands.

She has created a range of timeless fabrics that take their inspiration from vintage finds. Working mainly with pure natural linen finished with a unique process to give them a softness and subtlety normally only achieved through years of love and use, her collection has a luxurious quality that is as much about the feel as the look.

The colour palette ranges from deep reds, soft pinks, greens and mustard yellows, to aged blues and greys.

These are fabrics with a heritage designed to bring a fresh approach to almost any interior space.

BRIDGE FOR DESIGN WINTER 2018

Union – fabrics with a cotton warp and linen weft – where the inclusion of cotton almost eradicated the essential character of the linen. In these fabrics linen was included to bring durability.

But as we have moved through the new century, interiors have taken on a more relaxed, comfortable, character. The emphasis is more about creating spaces for living rather than creating a styled interior. Some of the most successful interior designers are creating rooms where the aim is that the spaces seem to have evolved rather than been designed.

Look at the resurgence of English Style under designers like Ben Pentreath where the room treatments seem to ask you to believe that they have been the backdrop to lives lived for many years rather than being new.

Over the past ten to 15 years, many fabric designers from Cabbages & Roses to Kate Forman started to print on linen as it lent itself perfectly to the shabby chic look.

The wagon rolled, gathering pace in the US through designers like Rachel Ashwell. And here, linen moved into smart contemporary interiors through the work of designers like Bernie de la Cuona – who has worked with linen to produce cleverly textured linen fabrics for modern interiors.

Along the way, modern production techniques combined with this historic textile have given designers a huge well of possibilities to create with linen. From varying weights to differences in finish, there are almost limitless possibilities. At Inchyra we employ many different fabric finishes to create levels of softness and to push the print into the linen to replicate the look of wear. This simply wouldn’t be possible with any other fabric. Fine fabrics couldn’t take the finishes and heavier fabrics like wool or twill would be ruined by it. Linen can not only take the pressure but will only continue to improve with age.

And so, happily, linen has re-joined the mainstream.

We are delighted to be supplying our pure linens to projects from high end residential to some of the most influential hotels in the country, where they wrap each room in the inimitable authenticity that linen brings.

Bernhardt Design’s latest launch, in collaboration with Iranian texile designer Taher Asad-Bakhtiari (below), highlights an all-new collection of fabrics inspired by ancestral patterns from the designer’s tribal heritage. This collection shows textiles influenced by age-old weaving techniques with a modern artistic vision based on the tribe’s nomadic aesthetic.

Growing up in a family of artists and designers with a rich Iranian culture proved a fertile training ground for Asad-Bakhtiari, who early on established an internationally acclaimed art career, and who now turns his creative attention to fabrics for Bernhardt textiles. This outstanding collection blends primal craft and respect for time-honoured weaving techniques for a perfect blend of the

old world and the modern world.

These designs were woven using a naturallydyed, handspun wool. To push the boundaries further, he incorporates polyurethane yarns into the process.

His goal was for each design to have the essence of Bakhtian fabrics - raw, naturally dyed and textural but with a modern feel. He also wanted them to look handcrafted and naturally coloured.

His focal point is the weave structure, making his patterns very authentic.The result is a distinctive collection that features a wide variety of looks including his signature triangle, his family’s ancestral tribal stripe and several organic weaves – all with a touch of opulence and sparkle.” www.taherasadbakhtiari.com

A FIRST FOR TOTTY From her early days of supplying furniture and styling for various country houses and designing windows for Laura Ashley, Totty Lowther’s name is quickly becoming known for her latest venture, wallpaper.

Her first wallpaper design Pomegranate, which is now available at The Fabric Collective, blends some of her favourite intense colours with the simplicity of block printing. She finds inspiration in, of all places, the linings of old furniture drawers, leather trunks and patchwork quilts.

After studying textiles at St Martins in the 1970s and 80s, and her circuitous route including prop buying and set decoration for numerous feature films, 20 years ago she went to live on a hill 48

BRIDGE FOR DESIGN WINTER 2018

farm in the Lake District.

Since then she has freelanced, supplying furniture, styling various country houses and has opened her own interiors shop in a shipping container, where you will find work by local printmakers and artists, as well as a selection of lighting and furniture.

A PASSION FOR TRAVEL

The creative eye hungers for fresh perspective

W

anderlust, or a fascination for travel, is a passion shared by many designers. We have all felt the enchantment of the exotic and the tremendous power a new place has to forge new perceptions and to redirect and broaden our worldview. As Diana Vreeland famously stated, “the eye has to travel.” This is true whether you’re an architect, or a fashion designer, or a product, or interior designer.

The creative eye hungers for fresh perspective.

We frequently see the influence of travel reflected in new fashion and home decor collections. The best designers, in my opinion,

More important than learning what is different about others, is learning what we have in common – Barry Dixon 54

Travel is an essential component of inspiration for our brand. Wherever I go I make it a point of visiting museums and galleries, or just walking the streets.

A simple or elaborate detail will eventually find its way into one of my projects – Timothy Corrigan are storytellers. It is travel and the immersion in other cultures that revitalizes our vision and inspires us in terms of colors, patterns, fragrances, and lifestyles.

The more multifaceted our cultural vocabulary is, the more rich and vital our design language becomes.

“More important than learning what is different about others, is learning what we have in common,” says Barry Dixon, founder, Barry Dixon, Inc. “In the best of instances, universal truths and sensibilities are reflected in our homes, in the way we live.”

I can’t imagine working on a home without 56

having a global perspective that can only come with travel and living within other cultures.

I have always found that I am fascinated by the differences in the cultures I visit but also reminded that we all share a common desire for community, family, nurture, and love.

These are the values that should bind our global cultures together, particularly in a time threatened by nationalist posturing and metaphorical and literal walls. I have found this to be even more essential in my design of hotels and resorts with Baskervill. The

BRIDGE FOR DESIGN WINTER 2018

contemporary hotel paradigm argues for the local and authentic, a robust celebration of place that enriches the guest experience by immersing them in the culture they’re visiting.

For most of us, wanderlust begins as childhood fantasies fueled by books and films that extol the adventures of Sinbad, Perseus, or Galahad, filling our heads with images of castles, knights in shining armor, magical flying carpets, mythological creatures, and everywhere dazzling beauty. What child has not dreamed of becoming a great adventurer? My friend Robin Baron tells me, “When I travel, I’m influenced by everything that surrounds me; the sights; the smells; the culture, and, of course, the architecture – and absolutely the food! All of this stimulates my senses, inspires my creativity and changes how I see the world.”

Vicente Wolf, whose work is inextricably bound with his global travels shares, “Discovering the beauty and culture of other societies and lands nourishes my spirit and creative process. Traveling brings a full perspective to my work.” Similarly, Greg Natale, my Australian colleague writes that after he returns from the road, he translates the new perspectives gained from other cultures into his work. “New places can do more than just introduce us to a new color, or pattern, or method of making something. They give us a feeling. I love to draw on that feeling….and draw it into my designs.”

For Jason Oliver Nixon and John Loecke of Madcap Cottage, all encounters are opportunities for inspiration.

“We keep our eyes open at all times,” says Jason, “whether we’re on a far-flung trip to the English countryside, the remotest parts of Rajasthan in India, or a visit to the local mall. You never know where you might spot great design inspiration. John and I recently designed a fabric that was based on a garden we toured on the coast of Maine.

Then, over the floral pattern, we layered in a graphic motif from a fretwork gate that we spotted in Marrakech.”

“Travel is an essential component of inspiration for our brand.” Timothy Corrigan, the celebrated Architectural Digest 100 designer, echoes this sentiment, writing, “Wherever I go I make it a point of visiting museums and galleries, or just walking the streets. A simple or

Celebrated fashion designer, Jonathan Saunders, renowned for his innovative use of print, pattern and colour, has collaborated with The Rug Company for a second exclusive collection of handmade rugs. Each design is handcrafted by the company’s own weavers in Kathmandu, using fine Tibetan wood and silk.

Launched during the London Design Festival, Saunders’ designs will be shown at The Rug Company’s King’s Road showroom in a playful installation celebrating colour and form.

Saunders has been exploring translucency and light and how new colours can be created through this special process.Working with transparent layers of glass and resin, a signature bright modernistic palette evolves.Unexpected neutral tones of bone, clay and silver are achieved.

The subtle greyscale is a remarkable feat by the company’s dye master, as light neutrals are the hardest colours to match.

YOUR HOME AS A RESORT The line between living and vacation spaces has softened

W

ho among us hasn’t felt the desire to bring part of their vacation experience home?

Whether it is an attempt to recreate the ambience or add a few small luxuries found during our travels, there is a part of these experiences we wish to hold dear.

And while hotel design trends have always influenced residential design, nowhere is this more apparent than in the resort lifestyle.

When we think about hospitality interiors, we as designers want to create spaces that embody the philosophy of ‘Luxury without Pretense’, spaces where people can visualize themselves relaxing, having a morning coffee or an afternoon glass of wine, having a conversation.

This becomes the ultimate definition of comfort and is something we can all strive to bring to our design projects.

Having designed award-winning hospitality projects and dream homes around the world, we have found that the concepts of home and resort influence each other in many ways.

The line distinguishing spaces in which people vacation and spaces in which they live everyday has softened.

In our busy worlds, home has become our refuge; our place where we can relax. To make the resort experience resonate with guests, touches of home are introduced.

About Joni Vanderslice

J

oni Vanderslice – whose company J Banks Design was recent recipient of the 2018 Impact Innovator Award – started her interior design firm in Hilton Head Island, SC, 30 years ago. The company has since grown to 50 associates.

Joni feels this success is driven by the philosophy of making the complicated simple, by making the design process fun, creative and exciting. Her ultimate goal is always being pleasing to clients on every level which in turn cultivates lifelong relationships.

Joni is known for her luxurious interiors – luxury without pretence – and in creating homes that are chic but comfortable. She believes in giving back. She and her husband opened an orphanage in Tanzania in 2015. Called the Valentine Children’s Home – named for Archbishop Valentine Mokiwa – it serves dozens of children, many who have lost both parents.

Joni says: “We have gotten much more out of this experience than we have given....giving back is very much an integral part of our business and this has been part of our mission statement from the beginning.”

While also incorporating elements of resort luxury into the home, it elevates the residential interiors to a luxurious feel.

These parallel goals give us as designers an opportunity to create an experience that someone will never forget.

Many of us have enjoyed hospitality spaces that resonated with us and inspire us to want to create a sense of that experience in the day-to-day.

As designers, we look to interpret this vision of the resort lifestyle, creating a home of relaxed luxury, filled with comfort and elegance yet calm and welcoming.

The secret is to tailor your projects to the unique demographic you are speaking to.

Whether it is a millennial golfer or the baby-boomer homeowner, the goal is to blur the line between home and resort both indoors and out.

In the resort settings where we work, often residential clients are transitioning their lifestyle from a more formal, busy environment to one that is more relaxed and tailored to location.

Resorts are travel destinations in themselves, resulting in spaces designed with strategies to cater to the needs of every type of guest and provide exceptional experiences.

Guests demand amenities and services of course, but they are more inclined to focus on “experiencing” than “consuming”.

While it might seem obvious, it is not always easy to incorporate these hospitality experiences into residential projects however the mix has become a cornerstone of our business.

While it is important to answer functional questions through design, the trick is to avoid having one defining aesthetic or signature style but instead shaping the work based on the client, and the larger setting.

rench designer Stephanie Coutas’ Parisian residential project is the perfect combination of elegance, luxury and modernity. Located in the heart of one of Paris’ most luxurious neighbourhoods – on Avenue Raymond Poincare – this sumptuous apartment has been built around a pure white palette to allow the light and open spaces to prevail.

With her keen perception and superb eye for detail, Stephanie has created a sense of serenity, yet combines surprising splashes of contemporary for a true joie de vivre feel.

Her client asked for two things: a pure white theme and the perfect integration of the wonderful antique cabinets, which were gifted to her by her father, one of the world’s greatest specialists in Syrian antiques. Of course, the client’s own love of antiques helped this to become the key focus of the overall design.

The bespoke white porcelain petal-shaped wall lights are by Art et Floritude. left In the Dining Room the bespoke braided silver rug is

The dining table is a bespoke piece designed by Joseph Walsh as are the chairs. The Greek antique sculpture and artworks are from the client’s collection.

In the hallway The Foot sculpture circa 1970 is by Louis Durot, Pedro Reyes’s piece philosophical cube stands on a plinth, the engraved mirror is designed by SC Edition and the chandelier is Quasar’s Universe Square.

Stephanie’s first approach to this project was to carefully research several white textures, followed by the development of samples of carpets, furs, leather and marble – all within the palette of matte and shiny, soft and brushed and some engraved looks.

From there, the integration of fine furnishings and antiques took place. Once this layout was complete, Stephanie and her team designated the rest of the accent pieces and accessories. The luxurious use of these various materials immediately allowed an eye-catching sense of spontaneity. Using a range of textures such as shagreen, parchment and blown glass to continue the open space environment, Stephanie again included the element of surprise 144 BRIDGE FOR DESIGN WINTER 2018

with warm pops of colour. The geometric hallway, predominately composed of white marble, leads the way to other areas like the spacious reception room, a sleek dining area and a large contemporary kitchen.

To create the opulent dining room, Stephanie collaborated with Joseph Walsh, a young artist who actually designed the table and chairs using a golden motif, prevalent in the room by the complement of a gold-flecked crystal galaxy chandelier. Artwork and Greek sculpture as well as other antiques belonging to the client became the main focus throughout.

A devotee of fine craftsmanship and savoir-faire,

the designer is well known for her expertise in plush and modern spaces. She enjoys mixing art and culture, subtly fusing her love of romanticism with beautiful workmanship to create unforgettable neoclassical and contemporary interiors. Her formidable skills – from concept to completion – results in the realisation of inspiring and individualised looks.

Brought up in Asia and having spent most of her 146 BRIDGE FOR DESIGN WINTER 2018

childhood abroad, Stephanie’s experience of diverse cultures greatly influenced her style as well as her career, later translating it into a passion for beautiful homes and interiors. Her background in fashion further helped her designs to evolve and inspired the creation of her own bespoke creations, and ultimately the opening of her own interior design agency. www.stephaniecoutas.com

here’s a curvaceous kink in Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard, where the land bends inward from the sea to permit an oversized cove.

Otherwise known as Bantry Bay, it is a sheltered annex, relatively free of the city’s blustering southeasterly wind. It is also blessed by rare, late evening light that slants across the sea-facing flanks of the Mother City’s distinctive Lions Head Mountain as the sun moves reluctantly towards the west and then finally submits to the ocean depths.

Perched on the lower, boulder-strewn slopes of the aforementioned “rocky beast” are ascending contour lines of desirable homes that gaze upon a harmonious, true blue dream of sea and infinite sky. The lay of the land, thanks to that gentle fold of bay, omits urban bustle. If you didn’t know better, you might for a moment, imagine yourself in an earthly, natural heaven, a kind of Arcadia…

The aptly named House Arcadia is possessed of just such a dreamy view and incredible site. Almost every room in the house offers a vista. Even the entrance hall that widens into a double-volume space lined with a pair of trees has a blue line of sight.

Yet it is the heavenly interior architecture, in combination with the near perfect location that contributes significantly to the uplifting, soothing effect this home has on its occupants. Although the owners have many places they like to call home, this has become a favourite getaway for the couple and their family.

Ironically, the owners experienced buyer’s remorse when they purchased the property, and never intended to keep it long. Hence the challenging and unusual brief to renowned interior design firm Cécile & Boyd: “Make us fall in love with the place again!”

It’s not the first time that the firm’s Creative 150 BRIDGE FOR DESIGN WINTER 2018

Director Boyd Ferguson and Interior Designer Paul van den Berg, who are business partners, have worked their magic for this particular family.

Cécile & Boyd inherited the architecture and in order to enhance it, walls were demolished to create free-flowing space, and ceilings were daringly treated with woven cladding and mirror-work. The oppressively homogenous travertine tiles that had been used throughout were clad in raw fumed oak, white, mirror and charcoal tones to break their regime. And that was just the start.

What’s more, Cécile and Boyd wanted to create a different, new experience for the family here, compared to their other homes, which all have strong, thematic décor schemes that reference their contexts.

So House Arcadia was to be not just an easy-living escape from it all but most importantly, a refreshing release from the known.

In response to the client’s call for a no-nonsense home, Paul’s approach was to avoid bright colour, generic styles, pattern and anything too obvious, describing this as a décor detox. He didn’t want it to look as though it had been decorated, he explains.

Pure and simple, the interior is a study in neutrality and symmetry. To create interest and a hint of glamour, reflective surfaces contrast with textured materials. Simplicity is rescued from boredom by bold proportion.

An exercise in less is more, a restrained palette governs the execution across each of the four levels.

At the apex, closest to the clouds, a master and guest bedroom echo one another in bleached shades of white on white. One storey down, at entrance level, and the whites have been deepened with wood, off-whites and colour-blocked moments of charcoal.

PARISIAN HOME IN NEW YORK Interiors by William McIntosh are conceived with a splendid mix of bold and serenity PHOTOGRAPHS ANN STRATTON WORDS SHELBA CORNELISON

deally suited for a professional couple with four boys, the Beaux-Arts style architecture of this home in the Gravesend section of Brooklyn was inspired with the feel of a Parisian apartment.

With interiors by designer William McIntosh, the look is tailored, modern and elegant, yet rough, sleek and bold, each room individually conceived and meticulously crafted with McIntosh’s unique architectural and decorative solutions. His work is at once familiar but also reveals surprises and new interpretations, embracing both period and modern.

The result is more than the sum of its parts using a mix of period art deco furnishings coupled with the designer’s own custom contemporary pieces set against classically scaled rooms.

Bold traditional mouldings, architectural panelling and elegant fabric-lined walls are astonishing and at the same time serene.

BRIDGE FOR DESIGN WINTER 2018 157

Ever sensitive to the message of art, which was synonymous with the client’s own collection, McIntosh selected the perfect backdrops for great artists such as Mura Kami, Richard Sierra, Jeff Koons, Donald Bachelor and Alex Katz.

Custom pieces by William McIntosh Design include a handsome black leather sofa and sumptuous lambs wool chair in the living room, as well as all of the den furniture and the striking nickel-framed bed in the master bedroom.

Antique or vintage pieces are the grey velvet art deco chairs in the living room, the chaise longue in the entryway, the server, chandelier and sconces in the dining area as well as the pendant and mirror in the powder room. McIntosh says he always incorporates a commissioned piece of artwork or craft in his projects. A fine example is the custom eglomise panel installed around the fireplace which was inspired by a wallpaper at Radio City Music Hall and was crafted by Miriam Ellner.

With bold tones, refined appointments 158 BRIDGE FOR DESIGN WINTER 2018

and great style combinations that blend nicely with the enjoyment of superlative art, the client could not have been more delighted with McIntosh’s aesthetic sensibility. Combining a serene comfort zone around antiques and other great specified pieces, the Beaux-Arts styled home is filled with fashion-forward and stylistic elements, providing an extraordinary showcase for its fine art, custom furniture and special antiques.

Born in upstate New York, William McIntosh studied interior design at the famed Pratt Institute and after graduation worked for the noted interior design firms of Timothy MacDonald and BraySchaible Design. He established his namesake firm in 1990. With a team of dedicated professionals including architects, designers, artists and craftsmen, McIntosh continues to produce the thoughtful, intelligent and personal interiors that have established him among a solid, loyal and growing clientele. www.williammcintoshdesign.com

vor Guest is keen to stress that he has no desire to recreate the aristocratic way of life of his forebears – and it’s a claim that rings entirely true. A raven-haired, bearded composer and music producer in his early 40s who works and lives largely in London, the 4th Viscount Wimborne has an endearingly gentle and questioning manner, and, as far as his country home is concerned, he is far more excited by the notion of combining “contemporary minimalism with classic elements” as a backdrop to entertaining friends from around the world than he is by any kind of ancestor worship.

He worries, for example, about the appropriateness of this day and age of the Venetian busts of blackamoors flanking the drawing-room’s stone fireplace, harking back as they do to the days when black Europeans were at best servants – or slaves.

All of this makes his decision in 1998 to buy back the family home at Ashby St Ledgers, Northamptonshire, even more intriguing.

He lived here until he was six, when his father sold up and moved to Paris, marking the beginning of a peripatetic life for young Ivor – in France, England and America. Finding himself in the neighbourhood some 20 years later he went for a walk in the grounds. “Everything was derelict,” he says. “Someone from the village who was also trespassing recognised me – goodness knows how – and told me that the house was in the hands of the receivers and coming up for sale.”

Thus, more by accident than design, Guest found himself buying the very pretty shell of his childhood home. “I never really planned on keeping it,” he says. “I’d gone through a hard time in my 20s when my dad died, and buying the house was a way of figuring out what it meant to come from the kind of background I did.

172 BRIDGE FOR DESIGN WINTER 2018

I had no sentimentality about it, but I started to restore the house.” And what a house. Mentioned in the Domesday Book, the ancient Manor House at Ashby St Ledgers was home to the Catesby family from the 14th century. It was here that the 1605 Gunpowder Plot was planned, under the leadership of Robert Catesby. To mark its 400th anniversary, Guest restored the Tudor gatehouse, which was the plotters’ HQ. In 1903 Guest’s great-grandfather and namesake Ivor Guest (the oldest sons of the family have been called Ivor for generations) began to rent the house as a hunting estate, later buying it.

The following year – and for the following 34 – he engaged Sir Edwin Lutyens to expand it.

“There’s a bit in the Arts and Crafts style,” Guest says. “A bit of classical and Tudor, and even a bit of neo-Norman, as in Lutyen’s designs for Castle Drogo.” Restoration took two years. Guest had three simple rules: “First, to strip out the crap that shouldn’t be there. Second, to restore what should be there.

And third, to paint it all white.” He now finds it, in his own words, “beautifully understated.” “There’s not much in the house,” Guest says. Some of the antique furniture was inherited, in particular the long, many-leafed dining table, which, like the family, originated in Dowlais in Wales. Guest bought the comfortable sofas and had some beds made.

“We go to the Manor House whenever we can,” Guest says. “We’ now means not only him and his Latvian-born wife, Ieva, but also their baby, Greta, two. Luckily Ieva loves the countryside, and Guest is keen that the house should be more widely enjoyed, so he is starting to rent it out for weddings and other events. As Guest found when he wandered in the grounds more than a decade ago, it’s a place of enchantment that gets under your skin. inquiries about private hire to pa@wimbornehq.com

THE IMPORTANCE

OF BEING NICKY Haslam’s ability to conjure up heart-stopping environments comes from his love of glamour PHOTOGRAPHS SIMON UPTON WORDS MARIAN MCEVOY

BRIDGE FOR DESIGN WINTER 2018 175

I

t takes a brave soul to hang a nude, life-size portrait of oneself in the style of Lucian Freud in prime living-room position. But to Nicky Haslam, decorator to rock stars, aristocrats and oligarchs, the ‘Freud.’ As he calls it, is just one of many flamboyant elements that make his new London flat look like no place else. Decked out with a grand piano made of rosewood, an S.U.V.-size chandelier, a 16-foot-high faux marble fireplace and four giant portraits of himself, Haslam’s apartment is a visual homage to Haslam. The place looks jazzy, irreverent and poised – like a madcap Cole Porter lyric come to life.

Well-bred, Eton-educated, much travelled, opinionated and laugh outloud funny, the hyperactive 74-year-old is one of the most prolific decorators in Europe.

During a 42-year career he has completed some 300 projects, from private residences to nightclubs.

He’s also perhaps the most socially connected interior designer in the world. While his taste has changed seismically over the years, his VIP magnet has never wavered. Mick Jagger, Charles and Maurice Saatchi, Bryan Ferry, Ringo Starr and Lord Hesketh are longtime clients. No enemy of letting names drop, Haslam will happily reveal that his circle of intimates has included Francis Bacon, Truman Capote, Princess Diana, Joan Didion, Jack Nicholson, Gore Vidal, Diana Vreeland, Andy Warhol and the Duchess of Windsor.

Which just goes to make his ground-floor flat on Cromwell Road that much more interesting.

For a man who could have and do it all, here fakes take center stage. A typical Haslam décor is Eurocentric and sometimes incorporates a few ironic, faux pieces, but in his home, in addition to the ‘Freud’ and the ‘Warhols,’ there’s also a Giacomettiesque chandelier made of metal pipes 176 BRIDGE FOR DESIGN WINTER 2018

and tape, counterfeit terra-cotta statues set on a console, a trompe l’œil pattern of window blinds printed on a bathroom shade, resin falcons painted to mimic porcelain sculptures in the living room, wall-to-wall AstroTurf in the bedroom, four dining stools upholstered in fabric painted to look like a portrait by Picasso when pushed together and plastic fig leaves cascading out of a pair of plaster urns in the living room. If it all sounds a bit wacky, it is. But tacky, it isn’t. All that craziness is offset by calm: off-white walls, white wood floors, relatively spare arrangements of traditional furniture, neutral upholstery.

Haslam’s ability to conjure up swooping, heart-stopping environments comes from his ‘lifetime love of glamour’ and, perhaps more important, his almost complete lack of inhibition.

There’s a treacherous tightrope between theatrical and liveable – Haslam manages to keep his balance. He’s instinctive and headstrong, but he also knows the history of interior design.

Proudly and refreshingly politically incorrect, Haslam won’t go along to get along: A good listener and relentless tease, he asserts that he is pretty much always upbeat. In addition to decorating, his resume is loaded with extracurricular activities: He is an author (of three books, including a 2009 memoir titled ‘Redeeming Features’), a singer (he recorded an album, ‘Midnight Matinee,’ last year), an artist (one of his watercolours of interiors is owned by the Victoria and Albert Museum) and, of course, a blogger (he posts bimonthly musings about decoration, vocabulary and manners). “I’m not a moody person,” he says. “Being unhappy is a waste of energy and a frightful bore to everyone else.”

Nicky Haslam is many things to many people but a ‘frightful bore’ he never will be. www.nh-design.co.uk
