MARTIN Trowbridge has carefully selected more than 300 black and white images for the latest in his series of Decorating with Photographs books.

Images he selected date from the very beginning of photography right up to the present day and were chosen because they are evocative, memorable, light hearted or just rather peculiar. Many celebrate great sporting events, others document fashions of the day while some simply capture a moment of fun or frivolity.

“Each photograph, however subtly, will convey a specific mood to the viewer that can, in turn, be used to enhance or create the desired mood within a room,” he says.

Geoffrey Bennison: Master Decorator Floral Negative

Paradise

Lorenzo

GEOFFREY BENNISON (1921 - 1984) ranks among England’s most influential designers, very much in the same league as other design greats such as John Fowler.

He defied conventional notions of style to conjure up magnificent settings for discerning clients who loved his theatrical and romantic sensibility. He used antique textiles alongside his own fabrics to achieve a complex mix of scale, pattern, and colour that changed the way people on both sides of the Atlantic arranged furniture and did up houses - some examples of which are here.

His talent for combining eclectic objects, an unerring eye, and a deep knowledge of antiques earned him a reputation for sophisticated originality. Even today, leading designers turn to him for inspiration.

In Geoffrey Bennison: Master Decorator, Gillian Newberry tells his fascinating story from his early days at the Slade School of Art and his work as an antiques dealer in London during the swinging sixties, to his later career as an interior designer.

All of Bennison’s interiors are showcased, from magnificent country estates and retreats, to elegantly appointed apartments and townhouses filled with exclusive French and English antiques and curiosities, making this book a must-have for design lovers.

BIG BOLD NEW LOOKS The secret is out: we have fallen in love with colour again says Saffron Hare

F

or some time now, in both residential and commercial interiors, the starting point has been a refined and restricted palette of neutrals, with texture being used as the key embellishment.

Gradually though, richer, stronger and deeper colours have been creeping back.

Originally we saw them used as ‘pops’ to create focus points with cushions, blinds or lampshades – perfect counterpoints to all the neutrals. But now the secret’s out – we officially love colour again and we can even handle it in large areas; big and bold on the walls, as paints or wallpapers, and in large expanses of fabric as curtains or upholstery.

It’s the next generation of the so-called eclectic look, which has its roots in Britain’s magpie cultural past, when great houses and stately homes were never afraid to mix acquisitions from all over the world, sit new next to old and showcase colour and decorative detailing. Similarly, today’s new multi-layered luxury sees contemporary pieces confidently curated and mixed with anything from industrial design to characterful decorative antiques and colourful velvets and silks with a reflective sheen picking up the wider trend for burnished and light-reflective surfaces. This noticeable shift towards lush, multi-tonal interiors has its genesis (as so often) in the high end of the interiors market, in the chic hotels and premium domestic projects where real individuality is prized and designers create spaces with an authentic personality.

Abroad too, developing markets such as Russia and China have never lost their love of colour and decoration and perhaps this too is starting to feed back into the British sensibility. Premium textiles designed specifically for those markets are selling well in the UK too. Also left out in the cold for some years, large-scale designs and grand 40

Bridge for Design July 2015

embellishments are once again being used to bring character and a comforting warmth to interiors. After years of blinds and shutters, lavish curtains are also making a comeback as designers exploit their potential to create memorable features.

Bedhangings and bedheads are other keynotes for layering colours and patterns into sophisticated interiors.

My family textile company, James Hare, celebrates its 150th Anniversary this year with a collection taking inspiration from our own history which stretches back to the Victorian era. It combines the co-ordinating neutrals which decorators will always need with decorative fabrics featuring strong colours, large scale designs and dense metallic embroidery.

These are the types of fabrics for which we are seeing an ever-increasing demand, both in the UK and in international markets, and which our own trend forecasters have been correctly predicting for a couple of years.

Other industry forecasters are also underlining the shift to denser, more saturated colours in 2015, with Copper Orange and Marsala definitely moving things along from the neutral palette. Elsewhere in the market, wallpaper specialists also report new interest in decorative designs and just as we are seeing the return to greater expanses of fabrics, they are seeing their papers being used not just for single feature walls but throughout whole rooms: a modern rediscovery of a traditional use of colour and pattern in interiors. It seems that after years of austere architectural interiors being the desired objective, we are learning a new language of opulence – far beyond the 50 shades of grey and beige which have been so dominant for so long.

design trends | kitchen

SATISFY YOUR EMOTIONS The new sociable kitchen is a sign we know how to live well says Johnny Grey

O

ver my career my focus as a designer of kitchens has shifted.

In the early days, consciously at least, it was all about aesthetics and craftsmanship. Now I am interested in a less tangible quest - understanding the kind of environments that make people feel happiest; a move from the physical to the invisible, as new knowledge gained from behavioural psychology and neuroscience informs space planning and furniture design.

The future of the kitchen is about satisfying our brains, bodies and emotions: not just the supply of well made cabinetry and appliances. More efficient cooking spaces?

We’ve done that. The test of effective kitchen design should begin with an efficient, compact cooking zone as this will leave enough space to fulfill the kitchen’s expanded social role. It is now a living room in which you cook, a hybrid space which has evolved from taking functions from other rooms. It includes the sitting room now most likely to be used as a media room, the hallway that is a greeting area no longer seen as a defacto requirement and the dining room which has morphed into an occasional celebratory and optional space.

Richard Wrangham in his book Catching Fire tells us how our brains became human-sized through the nutritional benefits of cooked food, freeing early humans from spending their time searching for food and digesting it. Cooking promotes sociability as collaborative households are more successful at maximizing food resources. We now know the brain is elastic and develops by acquiring new experience and skills, so our behaviour at home, how we work and use our 54

leisure time becomes incorporated into our brains synaptic structure.

A key social trend in families is both partners working and children often having long school hours which means time together is limited and precious. So every house needs a flexible ‘common’ room where encounters can be turned into effective exchanges and where different activities can be accommodated.

Contemporary life is full of anxiety. Domestic space offers us sanctuary and plays a role in our day-to-day well-being.

Increasingly as we adapt old homes and build new ones we are moving towards the ‘kitchen-centric’ house but there are still a few hurdles in the way. Developers and house builders could greatly improve what they offer with better educated designers and more knowledge of these trends.

The good news is that as homeowners are now more aware of the value of design and of our instinctive needs than previous generations. Open-plan living and central heating has liberated us from the house laid out as a series of private rooms and our experience of round the clock sociability.

Shared tasks between genders means all members of the household get stuck into cooking.

Awareness of the pleasures and creativity associated with food and the presence of children are both examples of why being in the contemporary kitchen feels so good.

PAULA CARAVELLI

This New York City apartment has a distinctly continental flair

t’s hard to mistake Manhattan for any other city. True, some of downtown’s cobblestone lanes have a slight whiff of London, and a few brownstone blocks in the west 20’s could pass for Boston.

But it’s the rare street that conjures Paris. Paula Caravelli found one, however, on the sleepy northern reaches of the Upper East Side, a lovely sloping block studded with Beaux Arts buildings. It’s not easy to articulate what, exactly, provokes thoughts of the French capital, but it’s there.

A similar Parisian spirit subtly pervades the interior designer’s home.

Composed of two elegantly detailed apartments that have been joined, the place seems so intimate that it is almost surprising to hear Caravelli lives there with her husband, James, and 18-year-old son Christian. It is even more of a shock to learn that, until recently, it also housed the couple’s three other, now grown sons Evan, Gregory and Paul.

In fact, ambiguity and unexpected are key components of the place, which is less a statement of style – Caravelli is not one for statements – than a delicate balance of disparate elements, and all the more European for that. It’s epitomised by a pair of David Armstrong photographs, dreamily blurred images of New York street scenes, which harmonise with the huge trees just outside the licving room windows and the graceful neoclassical and Regency-style mansions across the street.

61

In this boy’s bedroom the blackboard wall has been decorated in a black-and-white chalk mural based on drawings made by Paula Caravelli’s children

Caravelli, who is half of the design team Paula + Martha (her partner Martha Angus lives in San Francisco) had no interest in doing up her place with some sort of idee fixe. ‘It’s probably a terrible thing for a decorator to say, but I don’t like trends,’ she notes. ‘I don’t work that way. I can’t put something in my house, or a client’s house, for that matter, if I don’t love it.’

Of course, lots of designers fill their homes with things that they love. What sets Caravelli’s apart is a mix of art, furniture, colours and finishes that feel truly personal. Nothing is chosen merely for its look or effect. But then, unlike so many people who come to New York to try to create a place and a history that squares with their dreams, Caravelli’s past needed no retouching. She was born and brought up on Long Island in a family brimming with painters and musicians both professional and amateur, where creative impulses were not 62

Bridge for Design July 2015

only indulged, they were expected. ‘It’s in the blood,’ she says ‘We’re a family of artists. Growing up we were always making something, playing music, redecorating, painting. That was the atmosphere.’

The apartment provides ample proof of this genetic bent. The foyer holds a sculpture by her sister Janet Buillet. The dining room features a changing array of paintings, including a gorgeous abstract

by Caravelli herself, who studied art before turning to design. And scattered everywhere are works by a childhood hero, her uncle Augustus Mino who was an artist and advertising creative director in New York City. As for the piano in the living room, Caravelli grew up playing, as did her four sons.

Of her choice of career, she says with a smile: ‘Everyone in my family is a decorator – I’m just the first one to do it for a living.’ Though her talent may be innate, she has honed it over the years, becoming a

master at discreetly mixing not only traditional and modern (a vintage secretary with a quirky mid-century French seat; a contemporary dining table and Italian neoclassical chairs) but European and Asian elements as well (a Chinese-style brass cocktail table with Regency-style spoon chairs and a Gustavian settee) Likewise, the apartment’s palette walks a pitch-perfect line between rich tones – an array of blues in the master bedroom, the kitchen’s brandy coloured cabinetry, the cocoabrown dining room and a host of soft neutrals. Even Caravelli’s one concession to cacophony, a complex collage in her home office, is in restrained black and white. ‘It’s so important to be able to come home to a place that has serenity,’ she says ‘That’s what I tried to create.’

But as any mother of four will tell you, no mere combination of colours and textures can handle everything that life, and children, throw your way. So she has happily embraced one modern convenience

notoriously lacking in most Paris apartments. ‘I believe in closets – everywhere,’ she says. ‘You have to have places to put stuff away.’ And she adds with a knowing smile, ‘We have a really great housekeeper.’

DARRYL CARTER

The designer’s rustic-meets-refined retreat is the perfect place to relax WORDS JURA KONCIUS | PHOTOGRAPHS SIMON UPTON / The Interior Archive

Bridge for Design July 2015

T

wo years ago Darryl Carter yearned to unwind. The Washington DC interior designer’s calendar was jammed with client meetings, plans to launch a furniture collection and book deadlines. The pressure was on, and ‘I needed a place to decompress,’ he says.

Darryl knew where he could do just that. He had always loved the Plains, a Virginia hamlet about 50 miles from the nation’s capital, and nearby he found an 1840’s stucco-and-clapboard house with several fireplaces and a 140-foot long wisteria pergola. ‘I was charmed, and I bought it in just two days,’ he says.

Darryl’s rustic-meets-refined escape is a textbook example of the neutral palette and strong silhouettes he has made his professional hallmarks since giving up practicing law for interior design a decade ago.

Stucco hearths and primitive wood benches contrast with an occasional rarefied English or Italian antique. Weathered barn doors have been repurposed into cabinets, espresso-colour cotton curtains warm up the living and dining rooms, and a narrow 12-foot dining table made of reclaimed wood seats 16 friends for the house speciality: chicken potpie.

‘I like to call the style of this place Modern Barn,’ says Darryl, a tall man with a deep voice whose client roster includes Washington power players and international financiers. And his home offers all the relaxation LEFT: In the living room the antique nail-studded armchair and large comfortable sofa are covered in a matching cream linen TOP: In the breakfast room what looks like an antique refectory table is actually a contemporary design by Darryl Carter Bridge for Design July 2015

The focal point of the dining room is the large antique barn door with a naive painting of a horse in simple black-and-white

potential one would expect from this rural setting. Here he can sit down and read a biography, refinish a piece of furniture or indulge in another of his favourite country pleasures: listening to the sound of the raindrops on the metal roof. ‘It feels remote, but I am minutes from organic markets and a few very charming restaurants,’ the designer says of the location.

Darryl starts to unplug from pressures and duties the moment he zips away for the weekend from his five-storey Embassy Row townhouse, which was once the chancery of the embassy of Oman.

The last leg of the journey takes him through the rolling hills and horse farms of bucolic Fauquier County, where the wooded countryside seems straight out of an 18th century landscape painting.

‘The approach is hypnotic,’ says Darryl, who typically cranks up and opera or hip-hop CD as he makes his way to his second home. ‘It gets me in my right mental place,’ he adds. ‘When I see black cows I know I am almost there.’

Though he’s used to fully focusing on clients and letting personal projects lag behind, this time Darryl put the completion of his rural digs on the fast track, swiftly unearthing antiques and architectural salvage stashed in storage, including a collection of antique taxidermy amassed from eBay and Paris flea markets (two wild boar heads guard the foyer).

His vision for his rambling Virginia homestead involved a gentle renovation of some of its unfortunate additions, rooms that had been

tacked onto the house from the 1920’s through the 90’s. ‘The house seemed too new,’ he says. ‘It didn’t feel right. It wasn’t tactile enough.’

In a determined effort to age the structure, Darryl refaced fireplaces, removed every extraneous moulding and added more beams. Built-in cabinets were fitted with satisfyingly creaky old doors. The designer’s instructions to the renovation crew were simple and straightforward: Be purposefully sloppy and avoid perfection. ‘Please note how poorly all the walls were done,’ he says proudly, quickly adding: ‘You can’t name my contractor though – he doesn’t want any credit!’

The designer scoured salvage stores for the most humble of trappings, such as weathered hinges and hardware. ‘I wanted everything thoughtfully old,’ he explains. Ceilings, walls and floors are

painted in Benjamin Moore whites. ‘Colour is the best way to unify disparate surfaces,’ he says. Floor-to-ceiling niches (Darryl calls them cavities) were built into walls near the fireplace for storage; the stacked logs they contain seem like organic sculpture. In the kitchen, the pine cabinets gave way to open shelves of reclaimed wood. A longtime fan of subtlety, Darryl reversed a smoke-colour toile de Jouy to lessen its impact and used it to upholster two antique English reading chairs.

Guests get deeply comfortable beds shelves of interesting books which have been arranged for visual appeal, some stacked, others standing upright and sheltering wing chairs equipped with warm blankets. As Darryl explains: ‘My romantic idea for this house was that people would just relax and read.’

The master bath always intrigues first-time guests, partly for its poetic emptiness but also for its curiosity factor. An oak demilune table has been turned into a sink vanity, and there’s an antique milking stool table and a generous shower. One section of wall has been left artfully unfinished, the underlying lath revealed in all its humble, horizontal glory. But it is the room’s narrow 1890’s galvanized-metal tub which gets the most comments; it looks barely large enough to shampoo Otis, the designers’ German shorthaired pointer. As the six-foot-three Darryl notes, the tub isn’t mean’t to be used: ‘It’s art. I’m never getting in there.’

EMMA LAWRENSON

Emma Lawrenson is an experienced British Printmaker whose studio is in picturesque rural Yorkshire. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Art as well as a Masters degree in Printmaking from the Royal College of Art. As her unique collections and personal portfolio have grown, she has exhibited throughout the United Kingdom and several European cities since 1997.

Emma feels most comfortable in her home studio, where her new collections are developed. Her own artwork lines the walls of the studio, injecting continuous inspiration, while varying pots of printing inks and colour samples can be found on the tables.

The inspiration for her designs comes from outside the studio when the artist is simply out and about. Small details in architecture or maybe a shell on the beach act as essential ingredients when planning shapes or textures, which can be documented through a quick photograph. Back at home, this will lead on to further planning, Medium Jumbo: 43” x 51” | 109cm x 130cm | Code T Small: 25” x 22” | 26cm x 64cm | Code H sketching and paint sampling before the laborious task of screen-printing in a35” nearby Jumbo: x 32” | 89cm x 107cm | Code W Large: 33” x 29” | 81cm x 71cm | Code L printing workshop begins.

EMMA LAWRENSON

Emma’s exploration in design sees a series of re-occurring abstract images and an intrinsic exploration of shape, line and friendly form, through a delicate and well chosen layering of colours.

Emma is very much aware of her artistic development, remarking: “The process of screenprinting and my considered, precise approach enable me to produce crisp, smooth and clean images. My method is to carefully build up layers of solid, flat colours to explore shape and form.”

The use of colour within her artwork is certainly worthy of praise, the evolved final collection is the result of much paring, trimming and subtraction. It moves away from Emma’s guiding ideas of architectural features or found objects, through to a finished product where her inspiration is often concealed, creating in its place a perfectly balanced and coloured image.

When speaking of her art, Emma says: “The best starting point for a piece of work is something observed by chance… I love catching the essence of things as they appear momentarily.”

Despite her preference for the clean and crisp there is also notable applause required toward the sheer dedication to skill and process across the board.

Her unwavering commitment to the art of silkscreen printmaking has resulted in a fine-tuned ability to produce countless artistic successes.

As a whole, we can perceive Emma Lawrenson’s artworks as fine minimalist abstracts that are the product of a precise and methodical studio practice, carefully tried and tested within her at-home workspace.

What too can be said is that each of her creations are tapping in to an area of calming beauty through a harmony of shape and colour, where the work she has created is Medium Jumbo: 43” x 51” | 109cm x 130cm | Code T x 22” | 26cm xis64cm | Code H Small: 25”and immediate simplicity everything.
