Michael Mancini “I don’t know if wood chose me, or if I had always loved the idea of creating something out of our most natural resource”, says Michael Mancini, Creative Director of Edera Bespoke, “All I know is that when I walked into The Old Curiosity Shop as an apprentice, I felt at home.” Born of an Italian-Scottish family, Mancini now has more than 20 years experience as a cabinetmaker and workshop manager under his belt, but his deep devotion to the grain and tactile quality of wood began, almost like a ‘coup de foudre’ as a 17 year old apprentice, when he would explain his youthful feelings of intoxication at the mere ‘smell of the workshop’. “Whilst learning my trade I became fascinated by wood, such as how the grain can change the look of a piece of furniture and knowing that a piece of wood could dictate how it was used”, he explains.
Mancini progressed on to being a cabinetmaker in Glasgow and was privileged to have won the prestigious McDonald Prize from The Incorporation of Wrights, for the beautiful Davenport Desk he designed and created. This award set the foundation for his future, and his reverence for the great 18th century master designers such as Robert Adam and Thomas Chippendale, has given him the inspiration and drive to see a career in craft bespoke furniture secured. In 2013, he began trading with current business Edera Bespoke, designing and producing custom-made fitted and freestanding furniture, and he now has offices in Ayrshire, Scotland, and Greville Street, London, and uses four different workshops across the UK to produce the furniture which he considers not only to be exquisite in design, but which will be an antique of tomorrow. “The ethos at Edera Bespoke is simply to create timeless furniture with distinction that is unique and personal to the client”, he explains, “My love of wood still grows, its with this passion that every piece of furniture is made”. Mancini is planning to expand by opening concessions in stores, and producing a limited edition furniture collection. www.ederabespoke.com

INTO THREE DIMENSIONS Recent design trends demonstrate an urge to reconnect with nature says Dominic Wood
O
ver the past five years, the design landscape and the lighting industry has been rapidly changing, transformed by the possibilities of new digital technologies. The age of the internet has meant the average consumer is exposed to more visual influences through online publications and social media platforms such as Pinterest. Consumers are seeing more bold, quirky and inventive styles and are more likely to push themselves outside of their comfort zones than ever before. Bespoke lighting still represents the most luxurious design option and recent years have seen lighting technologies rapidly develop, meaning that unique items can be manufactured without the enormous associated costs. For us as a manufacturer as well as a lighting designer, technologies such as CAD design and 3D printing mean that we can be a lot more experimental in our research and development stage. Many designers in the 20th century proved that beauty can come with practicality but were still somewhat tethered by mass production capabilities so were unable to produce affordable products. Pieces which would have previously been excessively difficult to make or expensive to cast in a foundry, can often now be made simply with a CNC machine or a laser cutter. Alongside developments in CAD technology, this means that limited edition lights are becoming more affordable to produce and therefore buy. Bespoke lighting will continue to be in demand, especially as an increasing number of young designers are working with 3D CAD software to produce extraordinary design concepts. New technologies also enable manufacturers to address key issues such as sustainability. Concern for the environment and the desire to reduce our carbon footprint has seen 72
Bridge for Design Spring 2016
many manufacturers turning towards LED lighting, which nowadays can be a more affordable and practical option. In the past, LEDs have been unattractive with clumsy design but in recent years, technological advances have meant that they can now be used in intricate chandeliers or existing designs, giving the same effect as traditional filament bulbs. While upfront costs for LEDs do tend to be higher, the overall energy costs associated are considerably lower when calculated over an entire lifespan of use. Modern day living has seen a high demand for lights that are multi-functional and serve both as task and ambient lighting. This is another benefit of using LEDs as they give the flexibility of controlling ‘colour temperature’ – for example, a ‘warm white’ could be used to create atmosphere in a dining room, whereas a ‘cool white’ provides the bright illumination for a kitchen or an office space. This demand for multifunctional lighting is also reflected in the increasing trend for rise and fall pendant lights that can be adjusted so that the drops are lower/shorter and are therefore able to provide both task and ambient lighting. Clustered pendant lights look striking when hung above a dining room table, a kitchen island or can function as a focal point in a living room. With more people than ever living in urban environments in the UK, design trends in recent years demonstrate an urge to reconnect with nature. Naturally inspired furnishings remain a key trend for 2016 with lighting shaped in the form of flowers, feathers or clouds and made using natural materials such as rattan, minerals, and wood as well as warm metals such as copper and bronze.

A PASSION FOR DESIGN We have a desire to live fabulously with beautiful things says James Howard
I
have spent the greatest majority of my teenage and adult life surrounded by and focused on the world of interiors. There is no doubt to anyone who knows me well, or even by reputation that I have immersed myself into every effort to design and build a better house. It has been my passion for over 40 years, and I zealously wake each day to learn something new, and do something better. Through the components of architecture, art and furnishings a house is assembled, really as a laboratory and showcase of the perspective and wishes of its owners. For better or worse, the parts are assembled and built and you get what you asked for and selected. When my children were young, I would take them to New York every year for a weekend with dad, and to tour the Kips Bay Boys Club show house. It was their price to pay for going to NY for some fun, and in spite of their lack of enthusiasm they embarked on a tour of some of the finest homes in America. Ironically they always asked; why are these homes so different, so extraordinary and so beautiful? My answer, of course, was because they were built by, assembled by, and designed by the greatest talents in the world of architecture and interior design. To my greatest surprise and joy, it was those experiences and exposure to so many beautiful places that ultimately led two of my children into the world of interior design. Their vision while based in those experiences has veered. They are wildly interested in new things. They love to read blogs that expose them to new things that are happening, 74

new trends, and how history and our past are influencing these trends. They are seeing the world of fashion influence textile designs, architects that are designing furniture, as we have never seen before. Today, people are travelling to obscure and distant places and experiencing things. The birth of design schools such as SCAD, the New School, and RISD are enlightening young minds to where we have been, but most importantly where we are going. I see the influences of the 20th century shaping the things to come. Scandinavian, Finnish, and Danish designs of the 1930’s were profound. Characterised by bold clean lines and simple sturdy symmetries, it helped kick start other artists of the time to re-imagine the decorative arts, particularly in 1940’s France and beyond. Those Modern influences and the knowledge of what those designers created will continue to be pushed by and progressed by our rising stars. What we shall see is new forms and shapes that will emerge from things we have seen in our past, and will evolve in the future. Craftsmanship is the foundation of our future, as it is what withstands the hands of time, but today we want our lives to be a bit simpler, less fussy and complex. As we yearn for comfort, we cannot resist the need for self-expression and that innate desire to live fabulously with beautiful things. To be modern, attractive, and happy.

THE LURE OF LEATHER A timeless material that just seems to sing in its surroundings says Joanna Bibby
L
eather is such an ancient durable material that has been used in interiors going way back to caveman days. It’s basic, primal and pure. It can be tough yet fragile, soft yet strong and incredibly versatile. We have been working with leather, in all its variations from the very early days at Ochre. It all started with our love of colour. Creating a range of incredibly simple stools in different subtle colours of nubuck that were playful and worked well together. We have learnt a lot since, but colour and leather is still our passion and this combination is a strong trend in interior design. As we are noticing the return of comfort in the home, leather is welcome as it’s a sensual material that appeals to the senses on so many different levels. Its evocative smell makes homes feel loved and inspired the first ever Hermès perfume, Eau d’Hermès. On the touch and even on the ear, with that deliciously comforting squeaky sound only leather can make. Leather’s beauty just increases with age, the splashes, the spills, and the repeated touches in specific areas that become darker or shinier with time are part of its charm. It ages gracefully like an old friend. Leather can take colour well, which is why it’s a material of choice for interior designers. It does have a very strong memory though and some colours fade with time and others darken. This is the charm of leather, it carries a story. After decades of black and brown leather, colour is back and is spilling over to larger pieces of furniture with leathers being dyed in a range of new beautiful shades. The blue-grey palette works together so you can have a family of dining chairs in the ever-changing colours of the 76
Bridge for Design Spring 2016
sea and the sky. The colour of stitching leather can be fun. A red thread on a simple brown leather piece can make a discreet but beautiful detail statement. Play with colour changes. Be brave. Have a flash amongst the subtle. Designers are exploring leather techniques - wrapping, stitching, stretching, punching, laser cutting. It’s terribly exciting. A wrapped leather chair where the material is wrapped tightly around a frame is a smart design trend. Hand stitching is no longer the preserve of handbags or saddles. Leather furniture with hand sewn pinched seams and scalloped corner details is stunning and gives leather in interiors a couture look. Fine Leather is perceived as a luxury market. It is because it takes incredible craftsmanship to execute such work with this material. In the hands of a master craftsman leather can create works of extraordinary beauty. Bill Amberg is one of the most notable leather pioneers, using leather in its purest form and taking it in different directions. He made people sit up and think. This is a beautiful material. There are huge possibilities for decorative leather. Eponymous label Helen Amy Murray’s hand sculpted leather and textiles create arresting works of art for interiors, furniture and installations. She combines the old and new design trends – the traditional cutwork with contemporary techniques to sculpt her designs giving the flat leather surface a carved, layered aesthetic. Leather furniture can sit beautifully on a wooden, carpeted or concrete floor, against a stone, painted or brick wall. It’s a timeless material that just seems to sing in its surroundings.

estled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains just outside Vail, Colarado, is a 146 acre ranch owned by businessman and philanthropist Tad Dekko and his wife Patricia. A tasteful property that stands out for its contemporary and inspirational design, yet remains sensitive to the landscape it sits within. However, this wasn’t always the case. When the Dekko’s first purchased the ranch, the 12,000 square foot main house had a white stucco exterior that bore no relationship to the surrounding land and the nearby river. The Dekkos quickly noticed that guests would not venture outdoors and congregated inside even on the most beautiful summer days. Mr. Dekko decided to change that by hiring a team of professionals who could re-design the property and essentially make it “an experience” for his family and guests. Architect Tom Cole, Denver-based interior designer Andrea Schumacher, and builder McCord Construction worked together to create a multitude of out buildings with various purposes. Together they invite guests to meander along a creek to find a wellness centre outfitted with workout equipment, a spa and an exercise pool – all underground and covered by a grass roof. The main house has been stunningly enhanced with a Western LEFT: All the rooms were redesigned sympathetically, picking up themes from the outside scenery and bringing them indoors as shown in this cosy living room TOP: The 146 acre ranch is a tasteful property that stands out for its contemporary and inspirational design, yet remains sensitive to the landscpe it sits within Bridge for Design Spring 2016

Red Cedar exterior with accents of steel, and a major endeavour of landscaping was undertaken to make the property feel like it sat naturally within the breathtaking scenery which surrounds it. Massive boulders were unearthed in every truckload - some of which were kept on site to preserve the original terrain, while most of them had to be relocated in order to reveal the master plan of the landscape architect. This Colorado Sandstone was used for the deck surrounding the house, which allows the interior to naturally flow into the exterior seamlessly. “The inspiration for our design really came from the scenery surrounding the house. We wanted to make sure that the design inside brought all the beautiful sights from outside into the house while also keeping a balance between Mountain and Contemporary concepts� said architect Tom Cole. The interior of the main house was also given a total transformation thanks to the work of interior designer Andrea Schumacher, who has Bridge for Design Spring 2016

RHODE ISLAND LOFT

Bridge for Design Spring 2016

A
ncient feng-shui tenets don’t apply. Tripp Evans and Ed Cabral manage their homes’ energy flow in a singular manner. The reason there’s no dead space has nothing whatsoever to do with Chinese astrology. It’s more a case of having to make way for well-loved possessions - heirlooms, travel mementos and salvaged treasures. Their 1,700 square foot Providence loft has only so many walls and they’ve covered every inch - hanging the preponderance of art and family photos salon-style, constructing floor-to-ceiling shelves for their seemingly endless books. Minimalists might blanch at the exuberance - Crayola-hot colours and furnishings all vying for attention. But the men’s collaboration is both clever and intoxicating. Do you know any one else who has literally mounted one front door on top of another? For all their layering, they’ve stamped a no-exceptions lid on cutesy clutter. And when it comes to creating space where before there was none, these two are consummate magicians. Take the pergola, which defines the dining area. Its regal shape conjures separateness without diminishing the open layout. And closets? The one adjacent to the kitchen has become what the duo jokingly label their “phone room.” In need of a place where they could tackle paperwork and monthly bills, they removed the door and added a small desk - Evan sawed the ends off a country table
and wedged it inside against the far wall. A coat of black paint revamped the interior, transforming it into a swank showcase for a gleaming silver collection. Around the corner, a wee linen closet got a snazzy makeover too. So long towels, hello sophisticated mirrorlined bar complete with glass shelves. Evans, Wheaton College’s art and art history chair, and Cabral, executive sales director at the Providence Journal, each had a home prior to 2005. When they decided to merge, they faced a major task of weeding out and pairing down. Although, surely, those terms are oxymorons applied here. Dazzling DIY projects, the most recent being the island’s preppy stripes preceded by silver-leafing the kitchen cabinets, continue to unfold as fast as new acquisitions see the 10 foot high sculpture in the dining room arrive. Evans handles most of the work himself. Cabral is called upon for consultation. “We pretty much decide everything we’re going to do together,” says Evans. “But I’m more about the carpentry and Ed is the one with a wonderful colour sense.” Colour is a thread that winds throughout the rooms pulling the eye up a yolky-yellow wall or along the narrow hall to a mini-Alicein-Wonderland door. And it doesn’t grind to a halt in the private areas. Bathrooms and bedrooms have their own vibrant splashes to go along with their generous share of art and accoutrements. You’ve heard the tired “everything has a story” bit. But in this case, Bridge for Design Spring 2016

it’s true. The stately mirror in the powder room, for instance, is actually army-issue. “My mother swiped it from an old officer’s club,” Evan a military brat - laughs. The pine dresser beside the owner’s bed was crafted on his grandfather’s farm. Keep in mind, before they moved in, this loft was an empty canvas. The Providence-based firm of Durkee, Brown, Viveiros and Werenfels had restored the 19th century industrial building, added the spiraling staircase and freed the beautiful windows blocked by previous misinterpretations. But it was Evans and Cabral who insisted on noir ceilings and unpainted floors. All the better for their inspired décor, which reaches a grand crescendo on the second level. Following their more-is-better-than-less sensibilities the ingenuous pair devised an exotic guest den. Evans built the picturesque bookcases and bed. And a trip to Marrakech yielded lanterns and camel seats to bring it all to life. Fired by a characteristic Moroccan palette this could be the 92

Bridge for Design Spring 2016
O
utfitting virtually an entire home in shades of white requires serious skill, so it’s a good thing Rita Noroña Schrager, a former New York City Ballet dancer, knows a thing or two about making the complicated look carefree. Hiring Miami-based interior designer Hernán Arriaga to help her execute her vision didn’t hurt either. The two met years ago when Arriaga was working in Manhattan and instantly bonded, partly due to their shared Latin roots – Noroña Schrager hails from Cuba, and Arriaga is from Argentina. Noroña Schrager had already secured the perfect place in the rolling horse-farm hills north of Southampton, New York: a stately four-bedroom Colonial she discovered her very first day house hunting. Ample but not overwhelming, with a win-some guest cottage and spectacular swimming pool, it seemed an ideal getaway spot for her and her two daughters, Sophia, 15, and Ava, 11 – especially since it was only a short drive from the weekend home of their father, hotelier Ian Schrager. “I appreciated that it didn’t look like every shingled building out here,” she says. “And I love the landscape – it looks more like Connecticut than the Hamptons.” Its impressive pedigree was another advantage. It had already been revamped by its previous owner, Greg Yale, a noted lighting designer, so the bathrooms and kitchen were 21st century beautiful, and the architecture had been simplified for an easy flow throughout. Since his client wanted to move in as soon as possible, Arriaga leapt

into action with his decorating partner, Fabio Lopes. Having grown up in a Caribbean country where vestiges of 18th – and 19th century grandeur are commonplace, Noroña Schrager has an affinity for the antique – but as a single mum rarely seen in anything but jeans, she prefers it mixed with the modern. Arriaga came up with a creative solution: He applied a high-gloss white lacquer to a range of French-country furnishings, right down to a pair of $50 bedside tables. “Like I always tell my girls,” Noroña Schrager says with a smile, “it’s not how much it costs, it’s how you wear it.” The shiny items lend the interiors a snazzy edge worthy of one of her ex-husband’s boutique properties (in fact, a baroque headboard in the guest bedroom was a prototype artist Julian Schnable made for the Gramercy Park Hotel in Manhattan). Employing a pale-and-natural-tone scheme throughout meant Noroña Schrager’s disparate pieces would meld seamlessly. A careful balance of refined sophistication and casual comfort reigns in the living room, where a team of traditional deep-dish upholstered sofas and chairs surrounds a modern metal-and-wood cocktail table topped with contemporary objects. “It really all started with the Delano,” she says, referring to the famed all-white Miami Beach hotel Ian Schrager renovated not long after the two married. “I just loved how the colour looked down there – so fresh and clean and so great for the beach.” LEFT: Antique African masks line the walls of the guest room where a large platform bed is situated in front of a generous picture window with views of the garden TOP: A play house in the garden is equipped with desks, a daybed and a flat-screen television and outside a wrought-iron garden table and chairs are arranged on the lawn in the shade of tall trees Bridge for Design Spring 2016 101

Not that she is overly rigid about her preferred palette. The former ballerina encouraged her children to select their own bedroom hues, though in the end they didn’t deviate much from their mother’s taste. Ava chose white with black accents, while Sophia opted for white with splashes of lime-green and aqua. And in the gatehouse’s African room, earth-tone artifacts from Noroña Schrager’s travels and recycled-pine walls from an old barn in upstate New York add warmth to the white framework. For the study, she threw out the colour motif altogether. She wanted to incorporate a Cuban theme, so Arriaga suggested finding real tobacco leaves and lacquering them to the wall. Sound simple? As any cigar aficionado can attest, tobacco is known for its tendency to absorb humidity – which is good in a cigar and bad in a wall covering. But months of perseverance by a craftsman who experimented with various shellacs and finishes ultimately proved successful. Now the room is Noroña Schrager’s favourite, a gracious refuge that evokes a cool 1930’s lounge somewhere in the tropics. It’s full of unexpected touches, right down to the taxidermy cobra resting on the cocktail table. Though undeniably chic, Noroña Schrager also has a playful side, Spring 2016 2015 102 Bridge for Design Summer

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: A guest bedroom is furnished with a comfortable bed covered in feminine white bows and piled with black-and-white scatter cushions. The large circular mirror above the living room fireplace was made from the slats of a wine-barrel and the pair of matching armchairs and small footstool are antique shop finds. In the master bedroom all the furniture is lacquered shiny white including the ornately carved headboard, bedside cabinet and side table. The shady porch is furnished with a 19th century cane armchair at the head of a long pine table and a matching pair of rustic benches made from reclaimed barn wood

Arriaga says. From a console in the front hallway composed entirely of a tangle of vines (“she loves strong shapes and natural materials,” he says), to the large sunburst mirror looming above the living room mantel, to a fanciful poolside daybed framed with copious cast-iron curlicues, her sense of fun and spontaneity pervades the space. “From the beginning we planned the house to be that way – we wanted it to be happy and inviting,” Arriaga says. “If Rita saw something she wanted, she had to have it,” he continues with a fond laugh, ticking off unusual purchases such as curly goatskin rugs, a dilapidated wine-tasting table she turned into the focal point of her dining room, and an oversized antler chandelier in the entry way. “She would say, ‘Let’s get it, we’ll make it work somewhere,’” he recalls. Today those choices speak for themselves. Designer: Hernan Arriaga www.hernanarriaga.com 106 Bridge for Design Spring 2016
