IN HER DEBUT collection for Arteriors, Interior designer Windsor Smith pares down iconic embellishments ranging from GrecoRoman architectural friezes to vintage jewellery. One fret of a Greek key border forms a table’s leg, while wall lights dangle reminiscent of a lady’s drop earring.

The result is a series of furnishings that feel fresh and fashionable, yet warmly familiar.

Windsor’s goal for the 40-piece collection was to create heirlooms of tomorrow.

INDIA HICKS, the daughter of famed interior designer David Hicks has forged a design empire from her family’s enclave in the Bahamas.

In her new book India Hicks: Island Style, she invites readers into her lush world. It offers never-before-seen family photographs, breath-taking vistas of her island community, all-new images of her home, Hibiscus Hill, and irresistible behind-thescenes stories.

In eleven chapters, Hicks walks the reader through the basics of her look: the subtlety of island life, her inherited knack for ‘tablescaping’, the pleasure of porches, bedrooms as places of selfexpression and the “more is more” style of living with collections.

From the understated entryway to the sun-kissed terrace set up for entertaining, to the kaleidoscope of

exterior colours to the quieter interior palettes, and from the swaying hammock in the backyard to the four-poster beds in the guest house handmade by a local craftsman, Hicks takes readers on a very intimate tour of the place she calls home.

Jennifer Shorto

Jennifer Shorto’s debut collection of wallcoverings is inspired by the work of Mexicobased artist Pedro Friederberg which she discovered while rummaging through a vintage furniture shop in Mexico City.

She fell in love with his work and tracked him down to his extraordinary home in the bohemian quarter of Mexico City, a house full of eclectic objects including collections of antique cigarette boxes, model house, and kittens. Born in 1936 the son of German Jewish parents, Pedro escaped to Mexico at the beginning of the second world war becoming part of the Mexican surrealist movement - Los Hortos.

Jennifer became a textile collector when she came across a very beautiful 18th century Suzani at the back of a cupboard. “Since then my interest has never waned.

I visited many places and befriended archeologists, writers and antique dealers who shared this passion and were keen on exploring less travelled lands,” she said.

“A few years ago I acquired a West African fabric from the early 20th century which was part of a group of textiles which were still undocumented.

It gave me the desire and inspiration to start printing and engage in keeping certain patterns and their spirit alive.”

She studied art history at the Louvre Museum in Paris. In the last few years she has been collaborating with decorators bringing her designs as well as precious textiles to a variety of projects.

Her textiles and wallcoverings are available from Redloh House Fabrics.

TIME TO TAKE A STEP UP Well designed staircases take centre stage once again says Richard McLane

T

he post-crash consumer is reexamining the values, institutions and lifestyles that led him astray and this soul searching has led to a different approach on many levels now that rebuilding has begun. Clients are again beginning to buy into bespoke manufacturing. This has particular relevance for staircase design and manufacture. At the height of the boom uber-modern and statement stairs were very much in vogue and it was all about making an impact; the clear trend now is towards timeless design, honesty and provenance. That is not to say we are going to see a jump in demand for traditional wooden staircases - rather the opposite. Consumers, now familiar with the concept of bespoke staircases, expect choice as standard.

Space is increasingly at a premium in homes, and staircase designers often have to maximize the illusion of light or openness, incorporate storage areas or work cleverly around room entrance and exits whilst executing a staircase design brief. The ability to tailor exact shape or choose specific materials is becoming more important to the overall success of a project.

The UK’s ageing housing stock is breathing new life into the refurbishment market as consumers and developers alike see the value of working with existing structures, rather than embarking upon a new build project as may have been the case previously. Refurbishment projects are where intelligent design is crucial to achieve successful and empathetic cohesion between old and new. The clever part about design is having 58

the ability and insight to incorporate both traditional and contemporary materials into a commission that withstands the test of time. Getting the staircase right plays a crucial role.

Architects’ plans for period properties rarely exist and structural analysis is usually required before renovation work.

Supporting walls need to be identified and the condition of timber and existing masonry must be checked before attaching or drilling into. Almost certainly interfaces between existing and new will need to be cleverly designed in order to integrate the staircase successfully into the property. In these circumstances specialist staircase manufacturers come into their own. Even if the walls are not sound enough to support a cantilever staircase, hidden frameworks can be erected to allow the client to have this style of design.

Every interior should be treated as a unique space – a sleek, stainless steel staircase works well in lofty spaces and buildings with a high-tech, contemporary style whereas a very grand home with an impressive entrance hall requires something more majestic. The stairs should interact with the building.

Today the staircase is no longer out of sight, as the trend towards open plan living has promoted its importance. Being visible from key areas of the property, a feature staircase adds desirability and the wow factor as well as being functional.

HUBERT ZANDBERG

Less is certainly not more in a house chock full of artefacts and curios WORDS JULIA FREEMANTLE | PHOTOGRAPHS SIMON UPTON / The Interior Archive

Bridge for Design July 2015

S

outh African born designer Hubert Zandberg’s glamorous and eclectic London home is a master class in context and combination. Less is more is certainly not a dictum with which designer Hubert Zandberg is familiar. His London home is chock full in a thrilling where-to-look-first kind of way an extravaganza of artefacts, art, curios and curiosities commanding every surface.

The house’s history is almost as quirky as its contents, no doubt part of why it appealed to Zandberg, whose passion for the provenance of pieces has informed his singular style. Split over five levels, it was once the canal-keeper’s house, the lower levels storing hay, horses and coaches.

But, oddly enough, its most recent incarnation before the designer moved in was as a motorbike workshop. ‘The house has been many different things, so it seemed to welcome all my disparate objects, and even invite them,’ says Zandberg.

The designer’s South African heritage is immediately apparent. ‘It’s a cliché but the truth is you can’t grow up in the Karoo and not be affected by it. It’s always prevalent in my work,’ he says. For him it has two sides – the bright Africa of gold sun and sand, and bold tribal colour, and its spare, monochromatic counterpart sun-bleached bones, quills, horns.

Despit an affinity with the past, Zandberg is also about reconciling it with the present and his London life has given these long-held pieces a LEFT: A rare pair of original Tommy Parzinger mirrors flanks a photograph by Hannah Starkey on one side of the living room TOP: Interior designer and collector Hubert Zandberg beneath a picture by Andrea Buttner in his London home Bridge for Design July 2015

Eurocentric swing and new context which adds an element of edginess.

‘I feel that by showing the artefacts and art not as separate concepts, it gives the effect relevance. My friend, designer Inca Waddell, described it as Pitt Rivers Museum meets the Tate Modern’ he says.

Foremost a collector, then a designer, the higgledy ungallery space, as he calls it, was found to house his collections rather than they being acquired to fill it. ‘For some it may be overwhelming but for me the dialogue of all these objects is actually strangely calming. It’s a concept rather than clutter,’ he says.

The dialogue is one of culture and colour, life and death, heritage and humour, and art. In curating the rooms, Zandberg found that pieces acquired further meaning, a process he finds fascinating. ‘The spaces evolve organically and sometimes when I stand back and look at a scene again, I see symbolism I didn’t ever intend, but that must have been in the back of my mind,’ he muses. He’s referring in particular to a tableau of objets in a guestroom, where a Madonna under a cloche sits alongside a tiny army tank. ‘The reference to religion and war isn’t lost on me it shows you how powerful the subconscious is,’ he says.

In the master bedroom pops of yellow are an incongruous accent in a predominantly black space underpinned by religious symbolism and imagery that borders on the macabre skulls, snakes, crucifixes.

Zandberg’s skill is in the mix, the colourful ikat cushions and overscaled pop art pulling it back from the edge.

TOP: The guest bedroom is located at the top of the house and features a Zandbergdesigned four-poster bed LEFT: The decorative theme of the black and white bathroom is reinforced with photographs by George Dureau and drawings by a variety of young artists

Zandberg has also played on the idea of light and dark, with certain rooms engineered to function better as night-time spaces. The main reception room trickily situated in that you enter it straight off the street – is almost a public space and so has been conceptualised as such.

‘I decided that rather than fight the room’s characteristics, I should hand it over to that purpose,’ he says. The result is ultra-glamorous gold accents, midnight-blue walls and moody contemporary art give it the mystique of a sexy nightclub rather than a run-of-the-mill living room.

Conversely, the study one floor down is a sunny, rustic, almost safari feeling space, whose savannah-inspired palette of browns and tan and a photograph by Anne Hardy of lush foliage are a door to another world.

‘It’s ethnic but also Modernist,’ he says of the evocative space that sees a Brazilian rosewood desk nonchalantly paired with bunches of African heads and a tribal-pattern rug.

These seemingly effortless and yet complex combinations offer insight into Zandberg’s world, a fascinating playground of challenging imagery, rich symbolism and charming, playful irreverence.

t’s not an uncommon fantasy among sophisticated Manhattanites of trading in the urban digs (while maintaining a pied-a-terre, of course) for a great old house in New York’s historic Hudson Valley one with big fireplaces and lots of room for grandchildren and guests, as well as views of some of America’s loveliest countryside.

That’s exactly what a financier and his wife, a former antiques dealer, were looking for when, after renting in the area for several years, they decided to make the leap and trade in their Upper East Side townhouse for a place in the country. Then reality hit. ‘We looked for ages,’ says the wife, ‘Most of the houses were dark and close to the road,’ not to mention that they are often jumbled on top of one another and, with their huge rooms, difficult to heat in the winter and cool in the summer.

Then they were invited to architect Gil Schafer’s annual summer cocktail party. ‘When we got there, I said to my husband, “This is the most extraordinary Greek Revival,” she recalls.‘It didn’t have any of the problems of the other old houses in the area.’

It turns out that Schafer, a classical architect famous for his exacting restorations, had built the place for himself. The couple immediately realised that the old-new solution was their answer – the design of an old house, with its elegant proportions, infused with a contemporary layout and conveniences. They found a piece of land amid the horse TOP: The front facade of the house is in a Greek Revival style whilst also displaying some Palladian features LEFT: The colours of the circa - 1880 Persian Sultanabad in the living room are repeated in the Cowtan & Tout cotton used on the bergere, in the curtains of Jim Thompson silk, and in the Kravet silk that sheathes the walls

country of Millbrook and hired Schafer. The last piece of the puzzle fell into place when Schafer suggested Miles Redd as decorator. Redd was the ideal choice, because, the wife acknowledges, ‘I was looking for someone with a certain whimsy. I tend to be more classical in my tastes, and I needed someone to push me a little.’

Still, this was a group with strong opinions. The situation could have been contentious, but, in fact, it turned into the best kind of creative collaboration. Schafer’s original drawings were largely inspired by traditional two-storey Greek Revivals. ‘But I knew I wanted the house to live right for us,’ the wife says, ‘not just look right.’ She was concerned that stairs could become a problem as she and her husband grew older, or if one of them were to have a horseback-riding accident. So she asked Schafer to add wings on either side, for a master bedroom suite and a large kitchen area. The additions give the structure the feel of a Palladian villa and help it nestle serenely into the landscape.

How do you begin decorating a 7,500-square-foot house? ‘It was important to consider Gil’s marvellous architecture,’ says Redd. ‘The proportions, the mouldings, and the amazing staircase set the tone.’ He found a Sultanabad rug in rich hues of peacock-blue with greens and

reds. ‘That was the spring-board for us,’ he explains, and its palette ultimately provided the subtle cohesion of colour that holds true throughout the rooms.

In the entrance hall, after trying several wall finishes, the trio chose peacock stripes sparked by tangerine lamps, introducing the key colour and establishing the elegant yet whimsical spirit of the interior.

Beyond the entry colonnade is an expansive living room dominated by teal curtains and celery silk walls that also reiterate the colours of the Sultanabad. ‘The acidy loden sofas, animal print, and ikat pillows – that’s Miles,’ says the wife. ‘He has an extraordinary feeling for that one oddball thing that will make a room sing. The black mantels were Gil’s design, and I just flipped over them.’

Redd, who understand how hue can add emotion and flow to a house, repeated the celery colour in the couple’s bedroom with a de Gournay wall covering.

For all the understated grandeur and rich colour Redd brought to the project, Schafer made sure that house functions beautifully.

ULTRAFLAT CURTAIN TRACK t h e p e rf e c t c o mplim e nt t o mo d e rn i n t e ri or design.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

TH E C H A L L E N GE In recent years there has been the increased use of glazed walling to buildings. Together with inward opening windows, the space available for window treatments has been significantly reduced. This has presented a problem to interior designers as to how to dress the windows in such properties.

UTS25 Strong aluminium profile 27mm wide x 8mm depth Hand or cord operation with Standard or RIPPLE effect gliders System can be angle bent for bay windows Suitable for medium weight curtains Fixing options 1) Direct fix through the profile (timber fixing) 2) Discreet nylon fixing clips allow for screw and plug fixing to plasterboard and concrete

THE SOL UTION In response to this, Tillys have developed a new range of ULTRAFLAT curtain track systems.

An incredibly versatile system that can be top fixed or recessed into the surface of a ceiling, providing a perfect answer to minimalistic style.

The UTS25 system can be bent for bay window applications.
