The question I am most often asked about my work is “How do you find the houses AD shoots?” Well, finding them is the job! We unearth exceptional houses via a vast network of contacts with architects, interior designers, and notables in every profession and industry from art and fashion to entertainment and sports. Which brings us to Maria Sharapova, whom I first met 12 years ago when she did a cover shoot for Teen Vogue, the magazine I founded. Maria was only 19 but preternaturally mature and poised, with flawless manners.

I found her impressive and unforgettable—a true champion.

Now 32, Maria is often out and about in New York City (she is a culture vulture!), and when I inquired about her own home, she modestly informed me that she had been working closely with architect Grant Kirkpatrick on the project for several years, and invited me to come visit on my next trip to California.

I took her up on the offer and was floored when I stepped through the very Zen threshold: The house perfectly embodies that ideal California indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Sunlight streams through huge windows, massive sliding doors open up spaces to the breeze and sky, and there’s a pool so centrally placed that it feels like you could dive into it from any room. This is a carefully considered house, one that has its act together— much like the owner. An admitted perfectionist, Sharapova tells AD, “I was obsessed with the process of making this home.

I’d jump off a plane from a tournament and go straight to the work site or the architect’s office or to a kitchen manufacturer.

This was my project, and I wasn’t going to delegate any part of it.” Of his Grand Slam client, Kirkpatrick confirms: “Maria’s work ethic is astonishing. She’s competitive as hell, in the best possible way, and she was involved in every single aspect of this house.” We have a winner!

lamorous Milanese designer Gabriella Crespi contemplated an age-old decorating

restorative warmth of the sun indoors? Her answer came in the form of Rising Sun, a radiant lighting collection made from an unusual pair of materials: brass and bamboo. The latter, she observed, “combines force and flexibility, the warmth of color and a capacity to let light through.”

Crespi, who died in 2017, explored other materials to give Fungo a new look as time passed, topping the brass bases with Plexiglas shades to create

hen Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio commissioned architect Pellegrino Tibaldi to build a Lake Como retreat in the mid– 16th century, the result was a summer house to rival all others: the sprawling Renaissance residence later christened Villa d’Este, on the coast of Cernobbio. Gallio would inhabit it for only 20 days, but the property (reborn as a hotel in 1873) has since become the go-to getaway for politicians, intellectuals, and style setters, among them the Loro Piana family of Italian cashmere fame.

So when one of the grounds’ four private villas, the 1815 Villa Cima, found itself in need of a refresh, the hotel turned to Loro Piana to work its magic.

The strategy was simple: Out with the old and in with the new. Unveiled this past spring, the airy update replaced heavy antiques with made-to-measure furnishings swathed in Loro Piana’s finest fabrics, all woven at Piedmont-region factories in Roccapietra and Quarona. Linen, silk, velvet, and (of course) cashmere now cover luxe headboards, sofas, and chairs, or are deployed as table linens, pillows, outdoor rugs, and throws. A painterly stripe designed especially for this project (and appropriately named Villa d’Este) was used for window treatments in several rooms. Every detail—from monogrammed pillows to contrasting piping—is impeccably tailored. Even the closets are lined with carpets woven with cashmere. “Softness is the defining feature of the interiors,” explains Loro Piana’s global CEO, Fabio d’Angelantonio. In other words, it’s the perfect place for guests (as many as eight) to kick off their shoes and unwind. “The rooms are an invitation to rest, relax, and let the days pass with leisurely ease.” From $11,700 per night; villadeste.com. —HANNAH MARTIN

ong used by residents in ad hoc fashion, one particular empty lot in the Bronx’s Morrisania neighborhood had “always been a magnet,” says Bette Midler, the founder of the New York Restoration Project, the green-space organization that has been revitalizing woebegone urban plots since 1995. Today, thanks to the NYRP, that unprepossessing acreage is now Fannie’s Garden at Paradise on Earth, a 13,000-square-foot public living room.

Children can grow vegetables on the trapezoidal parcel, and families can barbecue. A pavilion awaits a complement of solar panels, which will soon allow people to charge smartphones. A deck on the lawn hosts graduation ceremonies (C.S. 150, an elementary school, sits directly across the street) and film nights, and storm water is collected and channeled to irrigate the rain garden. Of the 36 raised planting beds, 12 were designed with wheelchair-dependent gardeners in mind. There’s even a chicken coop and potable water.

“It’s an energetic and flexible space,” says Brian Sawyer of Sawyer | Berson, an AD100 design and landscape firm, which developed the scheme pro bono. As for the garden’s name,

it honors the late mother of Midler’s close friend Joel Arthur Rosenthal, the Bronx-raised, Paris-based cult jewelry designer known as JAR. Rosenthal and Pierre Jeannet, his life and business partner, underwrote and fund-raised, asking clients such as philanthropist Jo Carole Lauder to cultivate an enchantment that is one of the NYRP’s 52 community gardens.

“The school, C.S. 150, was very enthusiastic,” Midler explains. “The science teachers were thrilled beyond belief because they never had any space to teach children about seeds and planting and growing them. And Joel was smart enough to understand that a third of his contribution went into a maintenance fund: Everybody likes to build, but nobody likes to maintain—and maintenance is key.”

As for Rosenthal, his requests were few, one being “Please have lilacs.” The large purple Syringa vulgaris shrubs—the highly fragrant classic perfumes Rosenthal and Jeannet’s garden at their country house in Switzerland—that Sawyer installed accent the garden spaces and are visible from any vantage point.

Says Sawyer, “Now we just sit back and watch Fannie’s Garden become its own world.” nypr.org —MITCHELL OWENS

oosely translated, the French term appartement de réception means an apartment for entertaining.

It’s a description that fits designer Tom Scheerer’s new Paris home to a tee. With its expansive layout and dreamy perch overlooking the Seine on fashionable Île Saint-Louis, the Haussmann-era aerie can happily accommodate a crowd. “When I first walked into this dining room, with its many windows and an apse, it instantly reminded me of a family sunporch from my childhood,” says Scheerer, who discovered the two-bedroom apartment for rent three years ago. Never mind that he already kept a house in the Marais, with four apartments that he alternately rented out and used for himself. “It was too good an opportunity to miss.”

Scheerer, a peripatetic traveler possessed by wideranging curiosity, has a knack for staking ground in far-flung places, as revealed in his forthcoming book, Tom Scheerer: More Decorating (Vendome Press). His personal real-estate portfolio stretches from the Bahamas to Maine to Manhattan, not to mention his family’s seaside Hamptons cottage, which serves as his inspirational core. In an unusual twist, he shares his new Paris pad with four American friends who come and go at different times of year, ensuring that (between his two properties) he’ll always have a place to stay. “Sometimes a few of us overlap, but it still works,” he says, shrugging nonchalantly. “It’s all about access, not ownership.”

The lease came with caveats not to remove the pastoral mural in the living room or the blood-orange sunshades that stretch over the balcony. So Scheerer allowed those elements to inform the apartment’s overall color scheme, painting the

The second bedroom, meanwhile, resembles a hexagonal colonial-style cocoon, with a canopied four-poster bed and Marcus Leatherdale photos of India hung against faded, paisley-papered walls.

“I was wary not to overindulge in French furniture, especially from the Puces,” Scheerer notes of the mix, which ranges

from fluted armoires made in India to a leather ottoman that he was able to transport from New York in a duffel bag by unscrewing its legs. Among the select Paris flea-market finds, meanwhile, are the white-painted Louis XVI–style bergères that flank the fireplace.

As for the dining room, he now likens the space to his fantasy of a garden in Deauville. “It’s all about shapes and plants,” he reflects. Trompe l’oeil trelliswork covers the walls, whose canted corners embrace leafy potted trees and tropical staghorn ferns. Succulents hang between windows swathed in diaphanous cotton, while exotic and flowering orchids dangle their ancient tendrils over frosted-glass interior doors. Even the hand-painted 19th-century French plates on the table depict birds and waterfowl frolicking amid bulrush and speckled leaves.

This room is Scheerer’s Eden where all his subtle sensibilities mingle in one fell swoop.

“Tom has such a seductive eye,” says his friend Carolina Irving. “There’s nothing superfluous about him. His touch is dry, reductive, and old-fashioned in the most elegant way.”

If a no-nonsense decorator sounds like an oxymoron, Scheerer proves otherwise. Unfussy precision is where his talent reigns.

When you find the perfect color, nothing else will do.

Perfection comes from our paint and our proprietary Gennex® colorants, together, creating results that are breathtaking.

rowing up in Los Angeles, JJ Martin was already a maximalist by the tender age of seven. “My room had crazy floral wallpaper and a yellowand-white gingham bedspread with lace trim,” recalls the Milan-based designer, founder of the fashion-and-home brand La DoubleJ. “It was the ’80s. It was my moment.”

The reigning principessa of pattern is now in the midst of another moment, having realized the grown-up bedding of her dreams with the Italian manufacturer Mascioni. During April’s Milan Design Week, Martin unveiled six La DoubleJ linen sets, with pillows, blankets, and pajamas to match. To display them, she outfitted eight mattresses in the new prints, piling them high atop a petit bed in her Navigli showroom. Instagram, not surprisingly, went wild.

Like her beloved, exuberantly printed frocks, the bedding motifs (all realized on 300-thread-count cotton and finished with contrasting top stitching) draw from a range of inspirations. Colombo Bianco riffs on a 1960s watercolor by German artist Suzanne Kientz; the pink-and-green Carnevale was adapted from a 1970s dress; and Wildbird Blu is based on a watercolor found at Mantero Seta, a Lake Como silk archive, that she recolored in blue and white.

While customers can order matching sheet and duvet sets in Wildbird Blu and Colombo Bianco, mixing and matching is encouraged. Woven wool throws and velvet pillows emblazoned with Greek goddesses add another layer.

“The prints are very strong,” allows Martin, who has injected a heaping dose of the collection into her own Milan bedroom, until now patently pattern-free.

“They’re not for the faint of heart, but that’s what makes them fun.” ladoublej.com —HANNAH MARTIN

DINING BY DESIGN In March, the eyes of the design world descended upon Manhattan’s West Side for the Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA) annual fundraiser, Dining By Design. DIFFA’s annual signature event saw many of the industry’s top designers, architects, and manufacturers collaborating on an array of elegant and thought-provoking dining installations to raise much-needed funds to provide education and services for people living with HIV and AIDS. The five-day event was open for public viewing and bookended by the opening-night celebration, Cocktails By Design, and concluded with a Gala Dinner.

A new feature of the event brought together over 40 artists and photographers offering their works as part of DIFFA’s silent auction. Visit diffa.org to learn more.

Every square inch of Maria Sharapova’s dreamy Los Angeles home is a testament to the tennis great’s style, spirit, and focus TEXT BY

t

alk to anyone who worked with Maria Sharapova on the design, construction, and decoration of her discreetly ravishing home in Los Angeles and their responses invariably follow the same themes: that the tennis star maintained a resolute vision of how she wanted the residence to feel and function from the earliest phases of the project; that she was one of the most intellectually curious and committed clients they’ve ever encountered; and that her style and spirit—as a supremely confident athlete, aesthete, and businesswoman—animate every inch of the property. In short, Maria Sharapova is a boss.

“I was obsessed with the process of making this home.

I’d jump off a plane from a tournament and go straight to the work site or to the architect’s office or to a kitchen manufacturer. This was my project, and I wasn’t going to delegate any part of it,” insists the Russian-born phenom.

As with many sports celebrities who have been in the public eye since they were children, it’s easy to forget just how young

Sharapova really is. Now 32, the statuesque player first attained the world number-one ranking in women’s tennis at the age of 18. She is one of only 10 athletes in the history of the women’s game to achieve a career Grand Slam, winning all four majors. Off the court, Sharapova has flexed her business muscles through a broad array of endorsements and sponsorships, the creation of her signature apparel line for Nike, the launch of Sugarpova, her premium candy–and–chocolate company, and other ventures. At present, she is developing sports and training venues keyed to principles of holistic health and wellness.

“Maria’s work ethic is astonishing. She’s competitive as hell, in the best possible way, and she was involved in every single aspect of this house, down to the most minute detail and material permutation,” says architect Grant Kirkpatrick of KAA Design, who oversaw the project in tandem with his partner, Duan Tran. “To say that she simply collaborated with us does not adequately describe her dedication and influence on the design,” he adds.

The three-story house is located on a sloping site with expansive ocean views from Palos Verdes to Malibu, with Catalina Island hovering in the distance—a dazzling panorama that unfolds with particular drama from Sharapova’s sun-kissed bedroom and bath. A luminous

double-height entry gallery, defined by walls of sleek, panelformed concrete and punctuated with a stair and bridge, opens out to an expansive pool and alfresco entertaining area.

The central volume is flanked by two wings—one for the open living/dining/kitchen sweep on the ground floor and the master suite above, and the other allocated to guest quarters, with bedrooms on the lower level and a well-appointed suite on the upper. There’s also a kick-back basement lounge with a bowling alley.

“I was inspired by Japanese architecture and minimalist aesthetics,” Sharapova says of the spare, elegant design and decor. “I didn’t grow up with lots of stuff around. For me, uncluttered means healthy. If you don’t use something, you don’t need it.”

For all its lean beauty, however, the home has no shortage of warmth, soul, and delight. Architectural details of bleached oak, cedar, and silver travertine provide a rich material counterpoint to the wide expanses of concrete and glass. A sculptural wood screen—which penetrates the façade as it undulates between outdoors and in—throws an organic curve into the largely rectilinear composition, modulating the influx of sunlight and providing privacy from the street. Even the positioning of the pool is calculated as a giddy surprise. When the sliding doors of the living/dining area are pulled away,

one can simply turn around from the dining table or sofa and hop right into the water.

“We conceived the pool, garden, and great room as one large indoor/outdoor space. The pool becomes the center of everything,” Kirkpatrick explains.

When the time came to furnish the house, Sharapova turned to interior designer Courtney Applebaum, who curated a mix of rough-hewn antiques from Asia, Africa, and Europe, all set against a strategic array of refined midcentury classics.

“The texture and patina of the furniture create a bit of tension with the crisp, new architecture,” Applebaum says. “Maria is super-perceptive and detail-oriented. There’s not a chair or table that came into the house that she didn’t analyze, dissect, and discuss. She pays attention to every stitch and groove.”

Sharapova’s designers all seem to echo the idea that their savvy, sophisticated client pushed them beyond their traditional comfort zone to conjure a truly one-of-a-kind home that radiates the creativity and confidence of the tennis star herself.

“I kept telling everyone that I want this to be the best house they’ve ever done. I tried to push their vision because I believe in all of them and want to see them shine,” she says. “I’ve traveled all over the world and enjoyed lots of incredible spaces.

But my home is my absolute favorite. I think that’s the way it should be.”

“Do

we have the garlic? The anchovy paste? What about the Dijon mustard?” bellows a voice from the kitchen.

A chorus of “Check! Check! Check!” echoes back. It’s 4:00 p.m. on a Tuesday, and cooking class is under way for four-year-old Gracie Durrett and a half dozen of her friends. The 17-foot-long Calacatta gold kitchen island is prepped with all the ingredients for a Caesar salad, and the junior chefs are just about to add the Worcestershire sauce when Sylvana Durrett— matriarch of the house and cofounder of children’s e-commerce boutique Maisonette—sweeps down the stairs and motions for me to join her one flight up on the parlor floor. “It’s mayhem down there,” she says, leading me into the decidedly more grownup living room where she sinks into a mustard velvet sofa perched atop a graphic striped rug.

Gracie and my son are schoolmates, so the scene of a gaggle of kids in her roost—whether for a birthday party or a Maisonette photo shoot (the home serves as a recurring backdrop for the site’s campaigns)—is in fact a familiar one. The first time I laid eyes on the residence was through a picture my sitter texted me of my son, Gracie, and another girl donning swimsuits in the master bath’s freestanding tub for one such shoot. Sylvana claims she hadn’t even hatched the business idea when they started designing the home, but she admits, “it works out well.”

She and her investor husband started househunting in Brooklyn shortly after the birth of their son, Henry, seven years ago. At the time, they were living in a shoebox apartment in Greenwich Village.

“Henry’s nursery was basically a closet,” she says.

When the new parents received an invitation to visit some friends in Cobble Hill, they trudged across the bridge and fell in love. Weekend treks to open houses (baby Henry in tow) and multiple lost bidding wars would ensue before they happened upon a classical 1901 brownstone with gracious proportions, a 60-footlong garden, and the perfect stoop on which to welcome trick-or-treaters. They clinched it, embarked on a gut renovation, and, at the tail end of 2017, moved in. By that time, their brood had expanded to six: Henry being joined by sisters Gracie and Millie, now two, as well as a one-year-old Labrador called Blue, which happens to be Sylvana’s favorite color.

Sylvana wanted a space that would lend itself well to family living while being formal enough for entertaining on a grand scale. After planning nine Met galas while she was the director of special

projects at Vogue, “my dream was to have a place where I would actually use my work at home in a meaningful way.” Brooklyn’s CWB Architects oversaw the renovation, devising a floor plan that could walk that delicate tightrope. They kept the traditional bones of the house with stately moldings and archways between rooms, while opening it up to maximize the flow of light.

When it came time to decorate, there was never a question in the couple’s mind. Sylvana had met Jesse Carrier of the AD100 firm Carrier and Company Interiors years earlier, when she was an assistant to Anna Wintour, a longtime client of the designer’s.

“I’ve always loved his sensibility,” she says of the country-chic style he and his wife, Mara Miller, are known for. “He’s easy to work with,” and, as a father of two, “he gets the family thing.” Or as Carrier explains: “We know what damage comes with having a herd of elephants running up and down the stairs.”

For those, he opted for a broadloom, polypropylene runner, telling Sylvana, “You’re going to thank me.”

The finished result is a high-low mix that looks rich and layered but isn’t so precious that “the children need to be sent to some obscure part of the house to play,” says Carrier. The designer shopped accessible retail outlets like RH, Williams Sonoma

Home, CB2, and Anthropologie, combining them with just enough wow accents to lend a luxe feel.

In the dining room, the Durretts splurged on a de Gournay wallpaper of climbing vines that has the effect of extending the garden inside, and paired it with a relatively inexpensive sisal that can easily be swapped out “after red wine and turkey,” Sylvana says. (It’s already been replaced once.) For dinner parties, they can host up to 24 in the dining room— 34 if they extend the seating into the lacquered blue library by opening the pocket doors (a “genius” design detail Sylvana credits to the architects) and shifting the rose velvet sofa into the hallway. A goldsplattered Calico wallpaper on the library ceiling draws the eye up, and, notes Carrier, is like a modern version of a frescoed ceiling. “In such a confined space, it’s nice to be able to enjoy that constellation,” he says. Adds Sylvana: “It’s so cozy, and it’s where the bar is. My husband has become quite a beer aficionado. People come over and are like, ‘Tell me which brew you have on tap this week.’ ” Upstairs in the master suite, a serene palette sets the tone. There’s a deck overlooking the lush garden designed by celebrated landscape architect Miranda Brooks, another relationship Sylvana forged during her Vogue days. While the Maisonette owner now

peddles mini-sized fashion, she has a walk-in closet that would do her alma mater proud. “My dream since I was a little girl,” she sighs, passing through the dressing room, which is wrapped in wood-framed glass cabinetry. “I don’t even have enough clothes to fill it.” She opens a pair of doors to reveal completely empty racks—an almost unheard-of predicament in New York City.

The children’s quarters feature petite bedrooms filled with furnishings from the home wing of Maisonette—an Incy Interiors crib in the nursery, where a white noise machine is on full blast despite Millie’s absence; Oeuf rabbit chairs around a play table in Gracie’s blush-colored room; and a navy Chloe club chair in Henry’s nautical-themed bedroom, which boasts built-in bunk beds. Sylvana informs me that he sleeps on the top one and Gracie on the bottom. “She doesn’t want to sleep in her own room. Henry’s cool with it,” she continues. “I think he’d be bummed if she didn’t sleep in here with him.”

The attic floor was transformed into a multipurpose media room, play area, and guest suite—the built-in banquette cleverly designed to house three twin-size mattresses and two trundles, so “when the cousins come, all the kids sleep up here,” Sylvana explains.

“Literally every time it happens my heart sings.”

Blue, white, and beige striping lends a beachy vibe and, combined with the fact that it’s perched in the treetops, almost makes you forget you’re in the urban jungle. “We did the circus-tent stripes on the ceiling,” says Carrier, “because the architects had the great idea of carving out space in the rafters, which created this funny pitched shape.”

As we wind our way back down to kid central, Sylvana recalls their first holiday here. They had been living in the attic “eating cereal on the floor,” while the bottom half of the house was being completed, and serendipitously removed the construction tarps just in time for Christmas Eve dinner. Sylvana’s family was visiting. “We sat down at the dining table for the first time, and I was like, ‘This is exactly as I imagined it,’ ” she says, blissfully. “It suddenly felt like home.”

“Mommy! Mommy!” calls a child as soon as we step off the landing onto the garden level. Gracie rushes toward her mother, her mouth cherry-red from a lollipop she’s just polished off. “Mama, I want spider pasta with cheese. Can you make it for me?”

Of course she can, Sylvana assures her. She takes Gracie’s hand and walks into the kitchen. Henry will arrive home from soccer moments later, ready for dinner, too. Caesar salad and lollipops might make for good amuse-bouches, but the main course awaits.

ean-Louis Deniot’s travel schedule reads like the index of a world atlas.

Since establishing his Paris-based architecture and interior-design firm at age 26, nearly two decades ago, the French native has risen to global design-star status. Known for luxurious and eclectic, yet decidedly contemporary interiors, the AD100 designer currently has projects on five continents, from Beverly Hills to Manhattan, London to Moscow, and in alluring destinations such as Hong Kong, Bangkok, New Delhi, and Chandigarh, as well as both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar, in Tarifa and Tangier.

Given his far-flung exploits, Deniot’s Los Angeles getaway, nestled in the hills above Sunset Boulevard, serves as a well-earned retreat. “When the weather is nasty in Paris I jump on a plane and come to beautiful La La Land,” he says with a boyish grin, adding, “The light in Los Angeles is the most beautiful in the world.”

Deniot began visiting L.A. nearly 20 years ago, and he insists that there is no place more exotic for a Parisian. “I love the eclecticism of the architecture and cultures. Los Angeles is 20 cities within one,” he explains. “Every night of the week you can have a completely different experience. There are so many different tribes. That’s what makes it so fun.”

Eventually Deniot decided he wanted a place of his own. When he discovered his 1930s residence, he was immediately seduced by its fairy-tale quality.

“I knew right away it was a keeper,” he says, speculating that the 2,800-square-foot home’s Tudor-esque exteriors coupled with its Spanish-style interiors were likely the creation of a set designer or someone working for the Hollywood studios of the era.

Deniot began plotting what would become a twoyear renovation during extended stays in California.

The hideaway, which he shares with his partner, real-estate and tech entrepreneur William Holloway, sits on an expansive oversize lot. “In L.A. people tend to build the biggest possible houses their land can accommodate,” he explains. “I did the opposite.

I kept the house modest and extended the gardens.”

To tackle the challenge of creating a gracious garden on a tricky hillside site, Deniot brought in L.A.-based landscape designer Scott Shrader. “We literally carved out space,” Shrader says, describing the construction of a series of low terraced walls to create parterres for both planting and outdoor living. “Jean-Louis wanted the garden to be romantic,

meandering, and filled with lovely smells and the sound of water. He had a vision of relaxed al fresco entertaining that unfolds from one discrete space to the next,” Shrader adds. (Indeed, the collaboration was such a success that Deniot penned the foreword to Shrader’s recently published book, The Art of Outdoor Living.)

Deniot’s interior renovations included opening up the ground-floor spaces to effect a more generous indoor-outdoor flow and extending the second floor to create a large master suite. Whatever the project, he took particular care to ensure that every detail was executed in a way that suited the spirit of the space.

“When the house was built, the fashion was to turn one’s back to the city. We redirected the focus to take in the incredible views,” the designer says.

New ceilings in the dining room and master bedroom were based on the existing architecture.

Throughout the home, Deniot deployed materials such as textured plaster, hand-chiseled stone,

In contrast to the verdant landscape, the interior color palette is largely restricted to white, black, and a pale golden hue that Deniot calls honey. “I wanted to introduce as many textures as possible within that constrained range,” he says of the furnishings,

which were mostly drawn from a collection he has been accumulating for many years. Much of the furniture—including a Jansen game table with banana-leaf details and a set of Jacques Adnet dining chairs—is 1940s French, a period characterized by the use of light oak finishes. Touches of straw marquetry, embroidery by Jean-François Lesage, raffia from Bali, natural-fiber wall covering, cane, bone inlay, and cast iron all add to the highly tactile mix. “There is something from almost every corner of the world—India, Greece, Morocco,” Deniot notes. “The irony is that this house is all about comfortable California living, but there are few American components. At the end of the day, you wonder if true California style isn’t really just about bringing together sunny vibes from all around the globe.”

Buzzy Milanese designer Cristina Celestino creates an exuberant collection for Fendi Casa

he work of Cristina Celestino is hard to miss. Mixing striking materials, shapes, colors, and cultural references, it manages to be both witty and refined.

“I’d call it unexpected,” says the Milanbased designer and architect, whose recent projects include retro-modern furnishings for Sergio Rossi stores and a vibrant reinterpretation of a historic tram that scooted around her hometown last year.

Her aesthetic certainly caught the attention of the Fendi family, who first enlisted Celestino to create one-of-kind furniture for their Fendi booth at Design Miami in 2016. For this year’s Salone del Mobile fair, they called on her for a follow-up collection, which— in a historic turn of events—has become the first full designer collaboration to be commercially developed for Fendi Casa. “We have a common approach to design,” explains Celestino of her cozy relationship with the Roman brand, which is known for its exquisite craftsmanship and innovative construction.

Titled Back Home, the expansive project took Fendi’s signature Pequin pattern (introduced in 1987, the same year as Fendi Casa) as its starting point.

The broad tobacco-and-black stripes now appear at their traditional scale along the base of Celestino’s curvilinear club chairs and sofas. But for a plush silk wool–and–linen carpet, she went to work supersizing the motif in puff pink and dusty blue, a palette inspired by Italian architect Luigi Moretti’s Roman interiors from the 1930s. “I wanted to give it a softer feel,” says Celestino, whose update propelled a matching set of luggage.

Fashion—jewelry in particular—has long provided Celestino with a steady stream of ideas. In the past, she’s created marble- and onyx-top tables with earring-back bases and a dressing screen with colored lacquered-wood mosaics. For this collection, she conceived a series of brass floor lamps and pendants shaped like cuff links. And the cushy velvet lines of her Tivoli armchairs and ottomans recall those of ring boxes. “Fashion acts without boundaries,” she says.

“I’ve always liked that sense of freedom.”

he client knew exactly what she wanted: not too many floors. High ceilings.

Lots of light. And a southfacing garden. Her husband had two requests: a small hammam and a swimming pool in the garden.

It was a tall order for a family home in central London, but eventually they found it—an unassuming but generously proportioned Arts and Crafts property nestled on a quiet street in Chelsea, the once-bohemian enclave turned posh residential district. After glimpsing the overgrown gardens—now planted with climbing honeysuckles, hedges, maples, and magnolias by the Natural Gardening Company— and a yard just big enough to carve out a narrow, stone-lined lap pool, they were sold.

“When you look out the window, you almost feel like you’re in the country,” says the wife of the home she shares with her husband—they’re both globe-trotting businesspeople—and two teenage daughters. “We woke up one morning and found ducks swimming in the pool.”

A R CHDIGE S T.COM

That feeling of the countryside doesn’t stop at the façade.

The homeowner wanted interiors that were casual, comfortable, and finely crafted, so she called on Pierre Yovanovitch, the Paris-based AD100 designer and noted artisan whisperer.

(His oeuvre will be showcased in a monograph—Pierre Yovanovitch: Interior Architecture—being published by Rizzoli in September.)

“I wanted the interior to be in line with her lifestyle,” Yovanovitch says of the wife, with whom he had previously worked on the family’s chalet in the Swiss Alps. “She’s easygoing, never formal—she likes color, and she’s always laughing.”

Aside from a few beloved elements—the staircase, the grand fireplace in the master bedroom—Yovanovitch stripped away most of the interior detailing to establish a clean, contemporary slate. By moving the dining room to the first floor, for instance, Yovanovitch transformed the home’s original formal eating quarters downstairs into a chestnut-lined spa that opens to the revitalized garden and new pool.

“I didn’t want to create an Arts and Crafts revival,” he explains, “but I wanted to keep the spirit of the house.” In a nod to the property’s turn-of-the-century roots, he filled it with custom woodwork like intricately carved doors and moldings, made-to-measure oak wall paneling, and built-in shelving. Similarly, he points out, “I wanted the fireplaces

in the dining room, serving as backdrop for a portrait by Alex Katz. The azure glaze of Benoit’s ceramic mantelpiece in the living room relates to a vivid Liza Lou artwork made from deep cobalt-blue glass beads. And the otherwise serenely hued entryway gets a jolt of fun from one of Ugo Rondinone’s neon stone totem structures. “I saw an exhibition, and they had a room full of these,” the homeowner says of the exuberant artwork. “It just made me so happy I thought, That’s exactly what I want for the house—to feel that happiness.”

She gets the same burst of energy from an anthropomorphic chair by Roberto Matta—a Chilean artist who dabbled in furniture design. “My dad is Chilean,” she says. “But I didn’t know that Matta did furniture until Pierre found two other wood pieces for our place in Switzerland.”

Yet none of the art—or the furniture, for that matter— feels too precious. After all, says Yovanovitch of his client, “when she sits on a sofa, she wants it to be comfortable.” And his many custom sofas and banquettes—made with master in-house carpenter Pierre-Eloi Bris and wrapped in textural cottons, wools, and linens from Jouffre—do not disappoint.

“We use every part of the house,” says the client. “Right now there are six teenagers down in the living room playing music so loud. We’ve only lived here a year and a half, but it really feels like we’ve been here forever.”

to look like they were made in the old times,” so he called on ceramist Armelle Benoit, a longtime collaborator, to fabricate them in enameled ceramic tiles and bricks.

Benoit went on to make a curved bench and a poolside ceramic fresco in her deep-hued, earthy glazes, modern foils to the folk-art ceramics—an alligator from Ethiopia; vases from Hungary—the wife has long collected. “This was a studio house—it belonged to an artist,” she notes. “So it was very important to incorporate craft.”

Indeed, handmade touches—a Yovanovitch hallmark— figure throughout. Twentieth-century works in wood, like a cork-and-sycamore console by Paul Frankl, a squiggly oak bench by Peter Danko, and a range of furnishings by Danish masters Kaare Klint and Børge Mogensen, feel newly fresh in this setting. They are mixed with pieces by modern masters, like the wicker buffet by Brazilian maestros the Campana Brothers, bespoke furnishings by British collective the New Craftsmen, and a specially commissioned brass-and-glass light fixture by Milan master Vincenzo De Cotiis.

But while such attention to detail is typical of a Yovanovitch project, the palette he employed here is less expected. “It’s a bit more colorful than Pierre would normally do,” the wife points out. “But he was very happy to go down that road.”

The designer took inspiration from the family’s diverse art collection. A coral-hued Fortuny silk sheathes the walls

odern stuff I just don’t understand,” fashion designer Adam Lippes says over coffee in the sun-splashed living room of his Brooklyn Heights apartment. “It’s just ugly.” So, defiantly, he surrounds himself with the atmospheric opposite.

A Victorian-style borne settee centers the space like a white-and-blue water lily, and a Russian Empire mahogany bookcase stretches across one wall and nearly to the ceiling.

The master bedroom’s main event is a custom-made canopy bed that channels the nutty Chinese Chippendale pagoda daybeds at England’s Stanway House, and Gustavian chairs ring a Biedermeier pedestal dining table. A Kentia palm—an arboreal accent beloved by another boldface fashion designer, namely Christian Dior—sprouts from a ceramic cachepot in the living room, its luxuriance, underscored by lacy wicker furnishings, evoking an old-fashioned jardin d’hiver, albeit one painted the palest shade of pink.

“We chose it for this room and really loved it, and now it’s the majority of the apartment,” Lippes says of the hue, Farrow & Ball’s Setting Plaster, noting that the silk faille that upholsters the dining room was dyed to match. “It’s pink, but it’s not like it’s pink. It’s got a lot of gray in it, which is nice,” he adds about the paint. “And it turns pink-orange at sunset.”

Friends compare Lippes’s dreamy setup to living like a grandmother, and in his defense he says, “Well, yes, I do, and what’s wrong with that? They live well.” Make that a granny with a twist. Last year, the designer and his partner, Alexander Farnsworth, cofounded Highminded, a purveyor of recreational marijuana products. Its first shop opens this year in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, near the couple’s country place.

Still, Farnsworth, Highminded’s CEO, wonders if the gentility of their domestic sphere needs to be quite so thorough. “Why can’t we just put some big, low sofas in here?” he once asked. “It could happen one day, but not right now,” Lippes observes. “I like that there are all these different areas for people to congregate when we entertain. Someone’s over there chatting, and another group is over here; people are sitting in the bedroom talking.” Or they’re sprawled on the banquettes that ring a tented space that the couple calls the opium den. “Everybody hangs out here,” Lippes says, settling into a supine posture in the golden glow of an Orientalist lantern that he and Farnsworth found on a trip to Tangier.

The designer’s dedication to old-school style comes naturally. His mother was an interior decorator with a similar aesthetic point of view, and his father has long collected Biedermeier furniture and contemporary art. “I’m obsessed with furniture, obsessed, more than with clothes any day of the week,” Lippes says, adding that his treasures always end up influencing his fashions. The multicolored carnations and other flowers blooming on the living room’s 1940s Portuguese carpet “would be a great print for clothes.” When the designer learned that one of his father’s favorite dealers was deacquisitioning a truckload of antiques at auction, he leaped at the chance to bring more of the past into his domestic mix, including a pair of obelisk-shape mahogany cabinets that flank a fireplace in a guest bedroom. Invaluable.com, Lippes admits, is “my worst friend,” and the late French romanticist decorator Madeleine Castaing—some of the living room’s wicker furniture came from her house near Chartres—is an essential muse. “She took super grand spaces and made them livable.”

Lippes and Farnsworth’s home could be one such setting: an upper floor of a stately 1850s mansion graced with fanciful waterfront balconies that give the building an Ottoman air.

So much so that, if one is in a particularly escapist state of mind, New York Harbor might as well be the Bosporus. The two spacious balconies off the living room have proved to be so enticing that Farnsworth has a strict work-hours rule: He ventures out of the street-front guest bedroom that serves as his office only in the late afternoon, admitting, “Otherwise, I’d just fade away.”

The theatricality of those outdoor spaces is easily matched by many of the apartment’s furnishings. “I like things that have something weird about them or are a little off,” Lippes says, a statement that takes in everything from 18th-century Italian gilt-wood girandoles with wildly twisting arms to a fantastic 19th-century sewing table fashioned of finely curlicued wicker.

Since this story was photographed, for example, bizarre chairs discovered at an auction in Cincinnati have replaced the elegant Gustavians in the dining room; now he and Farnsworth and their guests settle down on high-backed seats, probably 19th-century French, that blend intricate rattan frames, Chinese panels, and burl-wood feet that resemble clenched fists.

“Not that many people wanted them,” Lippes confides with a grin that makes it clear that Cincinnati’s loss is Brooklyn Heights’ gain: Six chairs, plus a sinuous matching settee and a desk, cost just $1,600. Invaluable, here I come.

Where design ends and art begins is a question that continues to capture our imaginations, as contemporary talents find fresh ways to crisscross and straddle the two disciplines. A spellbinding new exhibition, however, makes the case that what blurred lines remain must be erased. Mounted by Carpenters Workshop Gallery and Lombard Odier on the occasion of the 2019 Venice Biennale, “Dysfunctional” brings together more than 50 works of collectible design and art in Galleria Giorgio Franchetti alla Ca’ d’Oro, a two-story palazzo on the Grand Canal.

Standouts include Virgil Abloh’s Alaska chairs and benches, the uneven legs of which seem to subside into the ground—a nod to the city’s sinking foundations. Mathieu Lehanneur’s Ocean Memories/Acqua Alta stools also hit a maritime note, with rippling granite surfaces that evoke the Venetian Lagoon. But the showstopper might be Nacho Carbonell’s Inside a Forest Cloud chandelier, a canopy of branching steel arms and mesh shades that dazzle above the palazzo’s historic mosaic floors. Can a functional fixture be an artistic masterpiece? Without a doubt. On view through November 24; carpentersworkshopgallery.com —SAM COCHRAN
