It’s exciting to see fourteen newcomers debut on this year’s AD100 list.

In truth, it is challenging to make space for fresh names: 100 is a very restrictive number when you consider that the list is international in scope and comprises interior decorators, architects, and a few landscape designers. (We firmly believe that the outside is just as important as the inside!) The spots are coveted by those in the industry, and the AD staff really agonizes over how to include all of the talents we believe in. Close readers of the magazine will recognize many of the newbies—they are hardly green, and most have already had their work featured in our pages.

In fact, this month we highlight projects by two fresh inductees: an airy, pretty Paris apartment created by French designer Isabelle Stanislas, who has been chosen to revamp three state rooms at the Élysée Palace, and a charming hotel in New Orleans conjured by the Brooklyn-based trio known as ASH NYC. The entire issue is a celebration of the esteemed AD100, from an amazing art barn in upstate New York by architect Toshiko Mori and an exuberant family estate in Texas decorated by showman Miles Redd to a singularly sophisticated, art-filled London home designed by superstar India Mahdavi for the philanthropist and cultural patron Maja Hoffmann. We are also proud to publish a lusciously colored London residence by the Milanese masters of moodiness Dimore Studio, and the brand-new Los Angeles office of Studio Shamshiri, which reads more “yummy residential” than utilitarian work space. Thank you to the AD100, past, present, and future, for making our world more beautiful.

SAMUEL & SONS CREATIVITY & SOPHISTICATION

Samuel & Sons has become synonymous with creativity and sophistication in the world of passementerie and is renowned for its visionary, fresh approach to interior décor. Its refined, fully articulated color palettes and cutting-edge constructions, such as laser-cut borders, applique, velvet epingle, and unique printing techniques represent an elegant yet novel approach.

Recently launched, Cirque is a collection of passementerie composed of whimsical pom pom fringes, complemented by a series of applique, embroidered, linen lace, and hand-printed silk borders. Among the collection’s notable patterns are the Jumbo Pom Pom fringe, featuring cascades of wool poms. The Elise Embroidered border uses hand-tied French knots to depict botanical garlands across a heavy linen ground. The Brielle Embroidered border takes a pointillist approach in its patterning.

The Talia border’s sculptural nature is created through layers of laser-cut felt applique circles. The impressionist Skyler border and brushstroke Celeste borders are both created

hen a group of artists and scientists from NASA called a meeting at artist Robert Irwin’s studio in 1969, they asked architect Frank Gehry to give the place a quick makeover. Given the shoestring budget, Gehry came up with something simple yet subtly futuristic: seating made from stacks of cardboard, a humble material he kept around for making models.

“I discovered that by alternating the direction of layers of corrugations, the finished board had enough strength to support a small car, and a uniform, velvety texture on all four sides,” he told The Christian Science Monitor in 1972. “I found I could cut these edgeboard sections into geometrical forms, or bend them into sculptural, ribbon-candy folds.”

It was also durable, needed no finishing, and had a noisecanceling quality that reportedly cut sound volume in half.

Soon, with Irwin’s help, Gehry made a file cabinet and reception desk for his office, which led to the Easy Edges series of shelves, side tables, and, its enduring claim to fame, the Wiggle Side Chair, a narrow slab bent into an S-shaped seat.

While the press and public went wild for what The New York Times Magazine deemed “paper furniture for penny pinchers,” Gehry worried its popularity would eclipse his architecture, so he stopped production of Easy Edges in 1973 and quit cardboard furniture altogether by 1982, eventually ceding rights to Vitra, where 5 the Wiggle (from $1,175) is made today.

The perch continues to intrigue: Designer Julie Hillman placed one in her East Hampton retreat, while Cabana founder Martina Mondadori Sartogo set a duo in her London library. “They add a touch of modern,” she says. “Plus, they’re quite comfortable!” vitra.com —HANNAH MARTIN

helter Island, a sylvan community on the eastern end of New York’s Long Island, possesses a quality that has all but disappeared from the moneyed enclaves of the nearby Hamptons: simple, old-fashioned charm. “It feels like Mayberry, slow and peaceful,” says designer John Gachot, referencing the fictitious locale of The Andy Griffith Show. “We’re perpetually in a time warp here.”

Gachot knows of what he speaks. As a child, he spent his summers on the island, whiling away lazy days of fishing and grilling, far removed from the urban grit of Manhattan. “That’s the experience we wanted for our kids—the kind of freedom and spontaneity that they don’t get in the city,” explains Gachot’s wife, Christine, who is also his business partner in the AD100 design firm Gachot Studios.

“Everyone house-hops, the kids disappear for hours with their friends, and there’s always someone in the pool. It’s a special place,” she adds.

For years, the Gachots lived out their Shelter Island idyll in a 900-square-foot shack that was the ne plus ultra of rustic repose. But as their two sons— Boris, 16, and Jack, 11—continued to grow, the family decamped in 2017 to an archetypal 1932 center hall Colonial with room to spare. “We’d driven by the place for years and loved it. During the holidays, there was always a Christmas tree in the window, and it just looked perfect,” John recalls. So when they heard the house was on the market, the couple immediately put in an offer. “We knew there was a pool somewhere, but we’d never actually seen it.

We didn’t even realize that the studio was part of the property,” Christine says, referring to the petite carriage shed that now serves as a painting studio and yoga room.

and a jaunty mix of furniture and art that hints at the couple’s personal and professional history. The William Sofield–designed tusk table in the studio, for example, is a memento of the couple’s tenure at Studio Sofield, where they first met in the 1990s.

The armchairs in the living room are prototypes for a project for Marc Jacobs. And the wallpaper that covers the rear staircase was developed for the Gachots’ new Shinola Hotel in Detroit. “It’s a supercasual mash-up of things we love. Nothing is particularly fancy or precious,” John observes.

“That’s the Shelter Island way.” gachotstudios.com —MAYER RUS

SERVING LOOKS

Toile de Jouy has long been a part of Dior’s heritage: Monsieur Dior used the classic pattern as early as 1947, when he furnished his Paris atelier at 30 Avenue Montaigne. Now the fashion house has revisited the motif, adding fresh twists in the form of wild animals. The results appear not only in the brand’s cruise collection but also in a capsule home line that includes plates, cushions, and more.

Holiday shoppers can spot them in Dior windows worldwide. dior.com —GAY GASSMANN

When Italian tile brand Bisazza asked Mahdavi to design a bathroom, she realized something: Everything on the market was white. “The first thing you see in the morning is your bathroom. You want it to bring you good energy,” she mused. Her proposal: a playful tub, sink, and mirror in yummy hues like strawberry, blueberry, and pistachio that electrify the senses, especially when paired with her new sprightly pinstriped glass mosaic pattern, a follow-up to her 2015 tile collection. bisazza.com —H.M. 42

o hear Aerin Lauder tell it, she was destined to develop a love affair with drapery as a matter of adolescent rebellion: “I grew up in an apartment with no drapes,” she says. “I used to spend hours cutting fabric and making curtains for the walls of my dollhouse because I wanted them so badly in my own room.” She found a like-minded soul in her grandmother Estée Lauder, who, she notes, used to say, “ ‘You’ve moved in, but you haven’t moved in, because you haven’t put your curtains up yet.’ ” And when it came time to decorate her own homes, Aerin blissfully followed the Lauder matriarch’s formula of framing her windows in layers and layers of fabric.

“They add a sense of warmth and privacy to a home.”

So when the Shade Store approached her about a collaboration, she needed little persuading. “It was an exciting next step for us,” Aerin says of her eponymous lifestyle brand, which she launched in 2012 with a handful of beauty essentials and which has since grown to include fashion accessories and home decor. Beyond the product synergy, the compatible values between the two companies sealed the deal. The Shade Store is a family-run business, like her own, and she liked its commitment to quality, accessibility, bespoke service—and immediate gratification. “In ten days you can have custom shades delivered.”

In terms of patterns, she created all new designs, modifying beloved vintage ones and reworking them in colorways that are easy to live with. The Donald Kaufman custom pigments that dress the walls of her Wainscott, New York, home provided inspiration for the hues, and astute Aerin fans will notice that the dusty pinks also tie back to her cosmetic packaging. This, Aerin reports, is by design: “It’s all one world,” she says.

Her world, that is. “It’s very much what I love, and I think that’s what makes it feel authentic.” theshadestore.com

Jason Jacques, a go-to source for artful ceramics, celebrates 30 years on the hunt

I

t was 1991, and a young, jet-lagged Jason Jacques was wandering the nighttime streets of Amsterdam when he spotted a shimmering object in a shop window.

“I couldn’t believe what I was looking at,” he recalls.

“I’d never seen a Massier that beautiful, fired that perfectly, that delicately. And the color!” Jacques—who had cultivated an interest in ceramics while working in his friend’s father’s Chicago antiques shop—had left for Europe on a one-way ticket with a dream: to buy and sell Art Nouveau ceramics. The work of Clément Massier, whose 1890s pottery bears an inimitable iridescent glaze, was his holy grail.

He didn’t get the vessel, at least not on that trip. But this month, that piece (obtained decades later) will appear at his own Manhattan gallery for a show called “30 for 30: Thirty Years on the Hunt.” Since that fateful trip, Jacques evolved from a noted picker in the Paris flea markets to New York’s

premier source for Art Nouveau ceramics, which he has sold from a kooky Upper East Side townhouse designed by Nest founder Joseph Holtzman.

Lest he become pigeonholed in the Belle Époque, Jacques expanded his program in 2010 to include contemporary artists pushing the boundaries of clay. “Siegfried Bing, the Art Nouveau gallerist in turn-of-the-century Paris, was selling contemporary decorative arts,” he explains. “So I thought, Let’s show living artists.” British ceramist Gareth Mason, who fires arresting forms over and over to near destruction, was the first to join the roster. “Mason is a master of his material,” Jacques says. “And that’s how you stand the test of time.”

He applied that same logic to selecting the 11 other contemporary artists he now represents, from Danish talent Morten Løbner Espersen, whose textured vessels are covered in frothy layers of glaze, to Japanese maestro Katsuyo Aoki, known for her intricate porcelain creations, almost Rococo in spirit.

Jacques’s anniversary exhibition, opening January, will showcase artists from his contemporary program alongside the Art Nouveau masters who sparked it all. “I think that Western art culture has finally embraced the ceramic medium,” he muses.

“And I hope the people I’m showing will go down as the greats of this moment.” jasonjacques.com —HANNAH MARTIN

“Elegant eclecticism with a dash of playfulness and something unexpected” is the cri de coeur of this irrepressible lady of the canyon (to borrow a phrase from the immortal Joni Mitchell). Self-taught and wildly imaginative, Romanek first dipped her toes in the waters of interior design when she helped her friend Kelly Sawyer Patricof, cofounder of the nonprofit organization Baby2Baby, outfit Patricof’s Malibu home. She hasn’t looked back since. Today Romanek has her hands full crafting sublime abodes for entertainment powerhouses on both coasts. “In these stressful times, the idea of home as a personal oasis is more compelling than ever,” she insists. romanekdesignstudio.com

When Ari Heckman, Jonathan Minkoff, and Will Cooper, of ASH NYC, turned a landmarked Providence, Rhode Island, strip club and brothel into a stylish hotel called The Dean, they not only got the design world’s attention, they established a model that could be—as Cooper puts it—“redesigned and repeated” across the country. Last spring they turned the historic Wurlitzer Building in downtown Detroit into The Siren.

In October, a 19th-century church in New Orleans became Hôtel Peter & Paul. And yet another hotel is under way in Baltimore. The firm also unveiled a pared-down furniture line—inspired by pieces created for their projects—last April, and have a string of residential interiors in the works. “The building, the space, and the location are the foundation of our design work,” says Cooper. “Each project evolves from that point.”

Paris

When you’re tapped by the president of France to put your mark on the Élysée Palace, your profile is bound to skyrocket.

But Stanislas is already a star, albeit a low-key one with a humane viewpoint: “Design is a vision that brings together senses, function, and aesthetic.” Influenced

by Renzo Piano, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Donald Judd, her warm, elegantly modernist works include Ibiza’s Mikasa hotel, a house in Comporta, Portugal, an on-the-boards Cartier flagship in Monaco, and furniture for Galerie BSL and The Invisible Collection. “There is a fine line between interior design, architecture, and design. A balance is to be found between these three disciplines. This makes me want to draw everything,” she explains. “I want to create a holistic and authentic emotion.” isabelle-stanislas.com

As visions of domestic New York City bliss have shifted from uptown penthouses to Brooklyn brownstones, few have done as much to define that dream as Roberts.

Over the past 20 years, the architect has breathed new life into homes throughout her beloved borough, developing a cult following thanks to clever space planning, showstopper kitchens, and nuanced materials palettes. “We love working with people who have a strong point of view to create eclectic spaces—never precious or perfect, always comfortable,” says the architect, whose clientele includes Maggie Gyllenhaal, Daria Werbowy, and Ulla Johnson. But she is far from just a Brooklyn sensation; her current list of projects spans both sides of the Hudson and beyond.

Says Roberts, “We are always challenging ourselves, searching out unique materials and uncommon solutions.” elizabethroberts.com

“The world is a very fast-moving place, and I would like to slow the process down a tick,” reflects the decorator and shopkeeper, whose idiosyncratic, unpretentious approach has earned him devoted clients on the order of Ryan Murphy, Adam Moss, and Chloë Sevigny. Selftaught, David Cafiero honed his aesthetic studying gardens and country houses in his native Hudson Valley, New York, later working at his family’s lumberyard and on commercial fishing boats before opening up a catering company and eventually an antiques shop in Manhattan’s East Village.

At its current location, a former Pontiac dealership, he proudly champions bygone styles (Biedermeier, early American, William and Mary) unfairly overlooked in favor of today’s rapid-fire fads. His residential projects mix such finds to timeless effect, yielding spaces equally fit, as he puts it, “for a cocktail party and a quiet winter afternoon with a book.”

Given that Fulk is the design world’s impresario, is it any wonder that the Harmonia Gardens Restaurant in the 1969 movie Hello, Dolly! is a go-to inspiration?

Boisterous, atmospheric, and seductive, the self-taught tastemaker’s style—“Every moment matters” is his motto—has a cinematic intensity, whether in the recently opened Felix Roasting Co. café in Manhattan (think custom terrazzo flooring and handpainted wallpapers) or a nightclub in Las Vegas that the dapper San Franciscan describes as “a mash-up of ’70s disco meets Japanese street style.” His bicoastal firm is juggling residential projects galore, too, among them the renovation of a 16thcentury French former monastery, as well as fabrics for Pierre Frey.

KELLY BEHUN STUDIO New York

During her first days on the job at Ian Schrager Hotels’ in-house studio, fledgling designer Behun received an assignment: to shadow Andrée Putman during a renovation of Morgans, often credited as the original boutique hotel.

“It’s hard to conjure a better training ground than that,” says Behun, who also worked under Philippe Starck. Now, at her own namesake design firm, a hint of Schrager’s legendary style shines through her work in projects where great art and bold furnishings combine to brilliant effect. In addition to private residences, she is doing the interiors in a new Robert A.M. Stern condo building on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

Behun also designs furnishings including home accessories for Barneys New York, a line of lighting out this spring, and a collection of rugs for The Rug Company later this year. kellybehun.com

“I want my interiors to be subtle to the eye while being unexpected and beautiful.” So they are—ofthe-moment yet suavely eclectic domestic habitats (Manhattan townhouses, a Hamptons getaway, an Aspen retreat) that have been influenced by everything from Donald Judd sculptures to the old-meets-new juxtapositions of Copenhagen’s streetscapes. “I am constantly looking at art and design,” she says, “from my daily walk to work to traveling to see art and architecture.” Next up?

Their eclectic spaces artfully blend periods and cultures, never feeling “decorated” or flashy. “Our goal when we design a home is to make it appear as though the person has lived there for a long time,” they say. “Our favorite compliment of the year was when a client told us, ‘You did everything I never knew I wanted, and it’s perfect.’ ” The dynamic duo have just completed L27, a rooftop bar and pool deck for The Westin Nashville, and are working on a monograph that promises a peek inside the starry homes within their orbit. pierceandward.com

NEW MOON RUGS AN INTERVIEW WITH ERIKA KURTZ

2

4

New Moon’s COO and designer, Erika Kurtz, talks about the importance of preserving the art of design in a digital world.

Why is the tradition of handmade rugs so important?

Handmade rugs are the product of a living chain, the animals, the artists who draw the designs, the weavers, the dye masters—as well as the people who choose to live with them in their homes. To remove the human element is to remove some of the soul and uniqueness of the finished rug.

Is there a way to embrace technology while preserving the tradition of handmade rugs?

In this new digital age, you risk losing the original, historical art form that is passed down through our hands. Digital design is a growing part of our industry but when creating visual art, there are things that our brains can do to improve on something that a computer can’t do.

Once you have achieved the look and feel of the design on the computer, going back and finishing the graph by hand can ensure that the final rug has an artful and organic feel as opposed to something pixelated or completely digital.

1. HAND-PAINTED DETAILS BROUGHT TO LIFE IN THE FINISHED CUSTOM RUNNER 2. NEW MOON WEAVERS AT A LOOM IN NEPAL 3. BALI, COBALT RUG IN TIBETAN WOOL, CHINESE SILK, AND NATURAL NETTLE 4. SUNAHAMA RUG IN A COLORFUL, CONTEMPORARY SETTING

Do you believe that handmade rug traditions are in danger of becoming extinct?

The landscape of handmade rug design and weaving has changed drastically since New Moon began more than 25 years ago. With the growing urgency to chase short-lived style trends, we are poised to lose the artistry of our beloved handmade carpet industry to make way for disposable furnishings in this new digital age.

Not all rugs are created equal ... the final product is determined by all of the parts that go into it. Dozens of people play a role in creating a well-crafted handmade rug. The way a rug is designed and made is what elevates the best ones to timeless works of art. It is our job as producers to be discerning in what we design and manufacture to ensure that this ancient art form stays relevant for generations to come.

ome parts are gently faded and others unmistakably shabby. What were once the exquisitely painted moldings designed in the 1770s by the great Scottish architects Robert and James Adam for the drawing room ceiling of a house on Mansfield Street in the Marylebone area of central London now look distinctly played down.

So they are. The house’s owner, the Swiss philanthropist and art patron Maja Hoffmann, was so taken by the elegantly dilapidated moldings that she decided to conserve them thoughtfully. “They had such a special quality and were too beautiful to be repainted,” says Hoffmann. “So we left them raw and unfinished.”

From Harewood House and Nostell Priory in Yorkshire to all of Mansfield Street, the Adam brothers designed some of the grandest homes in late-18th century Britain, where their elegant interpretation of neoclassicism—dubbed the “Adam style”—was synonymous with sophistication. The surviving Adam houses are among London’s most sought-after properties. Hoffmann owns two, having bought the first in 2006 and then its next-door neighbor two years later.

“I found the first house by chance,” she recalls. “I walked in and was so taken by the entrance with its black-and-white floor, and daylight streaming through the skylight above the grand staircase with its wrought-iron railings.”

Working with the Iranian-born AD100 architect and interior designer India Mahdavi, Hoffmann, an heiress to the Hoffmann–La Roche pharmaceutical fortune, transformed the first house into a family home for herself, her partner, the film producer Stanley F. Buchthal, and their two children.

The second house was turned into her work space and a place where she hosts dinners for the Tate, Serpentine Galleries, and other art institutions she supports in a vast drawing room with a gilded-copper ceiling in which the artist Rudolf Stingel has installed a spectacular series of carpets.

Both houses are filled with works by Stingel and other artists in Hoffmann’s lovingly assembled art collection, including Isa Genzken, Sigmar Polke, and Wolfgang Tillmans.

Standing alongside the art is furniture designed by modernist pioneers such as Charlotte Perriand and Jean Prouvé, mixed with contemporary pieces by Martino Gamper and the Bouroullec brothers.

“This is a beautiful house with lots of people, and a beautiful house when you’re here by yourself,” says Hoffmann.

“It’s vast and very vertical, but it’s also cozy, intimate, and always luminous. It’s odd to say this of a London house, but its warmth and light always make me think a little of Naples.”

When Hoffmann found the first Mansfield Street house, she was working with Mahdavi in southern France, where Hoffmann is building a cultural complex, Luma Arles, including a $175 million Frank Gehry tower. She had commissioned Mahdavi to design Villa des Alyscamps as a place where the curators and artists in what she calls her “core group” of advisers could stay. Renowned for her exuberant aesthetic, Mahdavi enlivened the stone walls and floors of the historic Provençal building with adroit splashes of color, and adopted a similar approach to Hoffmann’s austerely lovely Adam home.

From the outset, she and Hoffmann knew that the original architectural features of both houses had to be preserved to meet conservation regulations. For the same reason, the two houses needed to remain separate. They are connected by a row of mews houses that, typically for London, run behind them, and a tropical garden designed by the Dutch landscape architect Bas Smets in what was once the courtyard of Hoffmann’s first Mansfield Street house.

“The Adams’ houses are remarkable, with wonderful proportions and detailing,” says Mahdavi. “We’d have wanted to keep the original features anyway, as they are beautiful reminders of the houses’ history.”

Hoffmann was eager for the main rooms to remain aesthetically neutral, with white walls to complement her artworks.

A huge Olafur Eliasson light sculpture is suspended above the grand staircase that she fell for on her first visit, and a very big, very yellow Franz West sculpture is surrounded by palm

trees in Smets’s garden. Mahdavi kitted out the kitchens and bathrooms, and added expressive elements, such as a staircase wallpapered with one of Josef Frank’s vibrant floral patterns.

She was given free rein in the mews, which is now a sequence of spaces, including a swimming pool and gym. “We had a lot of fun there,” Hoffmann recalls. “The colors India used are really amazing.” Mahdavi also designed bespoke pieces throughout both houses, including a green velvet banquette to accompany a dining table made by Gamper from remnants of the furniture designed by Gio Ponti in the early 1960s for hotel Parco dei Principi in Sorrento, Italy, and a sinuous Jean Royère brass ceiling light.

“There are no rules with Maja,” notes Mahdavi. “All her homes are remarkable buildings and all very different. She doesn’t like things to be repeated and is incredibly open to new ideas, which makes her homes super-personal.”

Mahdavi is now working on small projects for Hoffmann in New York and Paris, and on extending Le Cloître, the hotel she designed for her in Arles. Whenever Mahdavi returns to Mansfield Street, she spots intriguing changes because Hoffmann will have added new art and furniture, and removed other pieces, treating both houses as constant works in progress.

“You always meet extraordinary people at Maja’s—great artists and writers, and filmmakers she knows through Stanley,” says the Swiss curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, a friend and member of the core group. “There’s a wonderful informality to the spaces. People don’t necessarily gravitate to the same room, because it’s great to spend time in all of them, so conversations can happen anywhere.”

sk Miles Redd what kind of clients he gravitates toward, and old-fashioned terms pepper the conversation: people with moxie, with get-up-and-go, who have tongs in the fire. That would include Houston’s Bailey and Pete McCarthy—she’s the founder of a kicky bedding and lifestyle company called Biscuit Home, and he’s a partner in a fizzy restaurant group called Goodnight Hospitality.

“They like pretty houses, good times, and entertaining,” the AD100 New York City decorator says of the couple, adding, regarding his Texas commissions thus far, “The jobs are always fun, the worries are low.” The adoration is high, too: If there were a Miles Redd fan club, Bailey would be its president.

“Embarrassingly, I am his superfan—I’ll own that,” she cheerfully admits, adding that she met her

aesthetic idol when he finessed some rooms in her mother’s house a few years ago. “I used to be a decorator, but his work blows my whole mind.”

That’s just what she told Redd in an enthusiastic email in 2016, when she and her husband were developing a rural getaway on 80-something acres in Bellville, about an hour northwest of Houston.

She also informed him that she wanted her family— the couple has two young children, Grace and Harry—to live in a casual, quirky Wes Anderson film set but allowed that if “that is not your bliss, I’ll totally understand.” The couple’s architect, William Curtis of Curtis & Windham Architects, was already one of Redd’s personal friends and professional collaborators, so the decorator was totally on board.

“It ended up just the way she wanted it,” Redd says. “A little bit Anderson, with nods to Texas and a smattering of old lady, and everybody knows I love chic-old-lady style. Basically, it’s a big, happy, fresh, light family house.”

she continues. “The house doesn’t have to prove itself.” A guest bedroom is thickly hung, indeed practically paneled, with an heirloom collection of arrowheads that are arranged within glossy wood frames. Four-posters, all dressed in Biscuit Home wares, are voluptuously curtained. Walls are paradisiacally papered, the dining room, for instance, with a classic Chinese Export garden motif by de Gournay, and the powder room with a sprightly wall-to-wall collage of images that were snipped from vintage magazines and books. “A powder room should be a wild moment,” explains Redd, who worked on the house’s decor with colleague David Kaihoi.

The big, sunny screened porch is an eye-pleasing mash-up of influences, from Brooke Astor’s cottage in Maine to Bunny Mellon’s hallmark Scandinavianstyle painted floors. In the living room—itself sporting acres of flowered chintz, a vast old Oriental carpet, and funky button-tufted Victorian slipper chairs that once belonged to the legendary decorators Robert Denning and Vincent Fourcade—stands a theatrical bar that stretches to the ceiling, sheltered beneath a swooping striped canopy that brings to mind Babe Paley’s fabled villa in Round Hill, Jamaica. “I told Bailey that we needed some moment at the end of the room, so what can we do? An awning?” Redd says.

Curtis conceived a simple center-hall farmhouse “We just high-fived each other, and she said, ‘Hell, with five bedrooms—one is a kids’ bunk room that yes, that’s what we’re doing!’ ” sleeps six—in an architectural style he nonchalantly “I’m usually the one behind the bar,” Bailey describes as “the dumbed-down Greek Revival we explains, noting that the interior folly can be used, see a lot in central Texas.” Sheathed in white clapin a pinch, for full-on bar service if there’s a crowd board, roofed with tin, fronted by a spacious porch, expected, which there usually is. “It spreads out the and set within about one and a half fenced acres, the entertaining possibilities,” she adds.

Ditch the chintz, embrace the chinoiserie—Dimore Studio’s house for fashion stars Dean and Dan Caten goes for the globe-trotting gold TEXT BY MITCHELL OWENS PHOTOGRAPHY BY PAUL RAESIDE STYLED BY GIANLUCA LONGO

wanted traditional London—modern isn’t what we were looking for,” Dan Caten says. It’s a comment that startles a bit, considering that Dsquared2, the fashion label that he and his brother Dean founded more than two decades ago, has always been more rock ’n’ roll than royalty. Instead, the Canadian-born identical twins—close-cropped silver hair, bold eyewear, whippet-thin physiques, and a habit of completing each other’s sentences—wanted a classic example of local real estate but on their own terms. So they went looking in a west London area that Tatler once called “mistressy and the fact cannot be avoided”: Maida Vale, where Italianate houses painted the color of clotted cream have hosted kept women and sex scandals (Lord Lambton’s spectacular 1973 flameout, to name just one) since the late 19th century.

One of those stolid buildings, facing Regent’s Canal in the Maida Vale enclave of Little Venice, is now the Catens’ own.

Appropriately enough, given the inhabitants, it’s a semidetached, one half of mirror-image residences built around 1830.

(Anjelica Huston lived next door as a teenager.) Despite the location, though, there’s not a single Anglo signifier in its revamped rooms—no chintz, no Chippendale, no rus in urbe cheerfulness. That comes as little surprise, given that the Catens asked friends Emiliano Salci and Britt Moran of Milan’s

we

Dimore Studio to decorate the digs with the same cinematic moodiness that the AD100 firm brought to Ceresio 7, the celebrity-magnet bar and restaurant that crowns Dsquared2’s headquarters in the same Italian city.

“We try to come up with a story line for every project, and we really wanted to create this idea of two travelers and all the treasures they’ve brought back from various places in the world,” Moran says. Elaborate lookbooks, beautifully bound, are prepared at the start of every Dimore Studio commission— compilations, he adds, of “sensations, poetry, and images that act as a style guide, with disposition of the pieces of furniture, how the spaces are going to work, the fabrics, and the colors.”

The Catens were smitten, though with reservations. “A pumpkin-colored room with a blush-pink ceiling? Hmmmm.

I don’t know about that,” Dan recalls. “Sometimes they can be very out there.” Says Dean, “You have to trust them.”

Trust is why the kitchen has olive-brown cabinets offset by a pale sage-green floor, a combination, Dan admits, that “sounded weird to me, but when you see them together it works.” As for the living room and dining room—the former sliding doors replaced with a folding divider of amber stained glass—they are enameled such a deep, dark shade of blue that the spaces might as well be a grotto. That is, if one could imagine a grotto outfitted with a beefy rose-pink marble mantel, voluptuous green-and-white-striped curtains, angular brass dining chairs, and expanses of green velvet that suggest neoclassical paneling without actually imitating it. Park some towering potted palms over here and over there, and you get a louche 1970s vibe, even though the effect is arguably nothing that the disco decade ever really experienced.

“Our inspirations tend to be from the ’20s to the ’70s.

Obviously we didn’t live during most of those periods, but we have a perception of how they looked and felt,” Moran says.

“It’s magic for us to reinvent those periods—or maybe how we want them to be.” Mistakes are part of the mix, too. “Emiliano always adds something that’s not right, pieces that are odd or off, what he calls sbagliato, which means ‘wrong,’ ” Dean notes.

“He says it takes something wrong to make it good.”

Consider the slouchy, low-slung Cini Boeri sofa, a 1960s design that is dressed in smoldering tangerine velvet, which in lesser hands might seem too big and too brash for the delicately cherry-blossomed walls of a sitting room. “Emiliano once did a black-and-gold Asian room at Salone del Mobile,” Dan recalls, “and he knew we loved that, but for us he used flowers instead of birds.” The studio’s work also tends to be enriched with mesmerizing furniture and lighting by refreshingly non–household names. Chez Caten, that roster includes furnishings by Italian modernists Gianfranco Frattini and Luigi Caccia Dominioni. Moran and Salci are also restrained when it comes to relying on iconic anything. About the only instantly recognizables in the Catens’ seductive rooms are a scattering of walnut stools by Charles and Ray Eames in the chinoiserie living room and the Andy Warhol portraits of David Bowie and Elizabeth Taylor on the staircase.

“It’s a combination of all the things we usually do but in a house that has its own patina, with good proportions and moldings,” Moran observes. “Maybe that’s why it worked so well.” Plus, Dan adds with a laugh, “We’re great clients; we don’t complain too much.”

N

ineteen years ago, the Manhattan gallerist Sean Kelly and his wife, Mary, visited what their real-estate agent described as the most beautiful piece of land in Columbia County, New York, albeit a property no one would ever want to buy. “It took us hours walking through the woods to find it,” Sean recalls. “It was all virgin forest.

Finally we did—and there was no view.”

Or so it seemed. After climbing to the top of a pine tree, Sean pulled back the foliage to discover a panorama seemingly unchanged since the time of the Hudson River School painters, with rolling hills and vast swaths of farmland. (He also realized that the tree, half dead, was cantilevered over a precipitous drop.) Safely back on the ground, he and Mary offered to buy the property on the spot.

That vista has since set the stage for the Kelly family’s modernist compound, designed with the help of their longtime friend Toshiko Mori. “There is something very spiritual about the land,” says the AD100 architect, who in 2009 completed the main house, an orthogonal assemblage of glass and aluminumfoam panels (AD, November 2011). Sean and Mary, meanwhile, continued to walk the woods, eventually buying an adjacent parcel that overlooks the treetops and lake beyond.

“It feels like a different location, even though it’s a contiguous site,” attests Mori, whom the Kellys called upon to build a second structure as private exhibition space and storage for their personal art collection. “We told Toshiko we wanted the opposite of the house, something with very little light, something peaked,” reflects Sean. Together they came up with the idea of an extruded barn, whose 140-foot-long form reminded him and Mary of the 14th-century tithe barn in Bradford-onAvon, England, not far from where they grew up.

The question then became how to break up the structure’s considerable massing. “When Toshiko made a model, I asked if I could have a scalpel and cut the roof off its center,” Sean recalls of the decision to add a courtyard. “It was a moment where you kinda knew you got something.” To give the primordial form a contemporary twist, meanwhile, they opted to wrap its roof and walls in standing-seam aluminum, the custom graphite color of which, Mori observes, “seems to shift from gray to green, depending on the time of day.”

The 6,000 square feet of space is divided between storage to one side of the courtyard, and exhibition and living spaces to the other. In the main gallery, works by artists from Sean’s own roster (among them Sam Moyer, Jose Dávila, and Idris Khan) mingle with recent acquisitions from the family’s travels, including a large Dorothy Cross sculpture that re-creates Mount Everest to scale in marble. Installing it beside the floorto-ceiling windows, from which Bear Mountain can be seen in the distance, was made all the easier by three ingenious sets of doors that allow vehicles to drive through the entire length of the building. For a proper arrival, however, Sean ushers guests through the gothic doorway, salvaged from an English monastery, that he found online. If Mori was “horrified” by the purchase, as Sean jokes, she soon came around. “It’s very mysterious, like a fairy tale,” the architect notes. “I think it’s Sean’s Game of Thrones obsession.”

He certainly has ample opportunity to exercise it in these wild parts, where winters regularly deliver upwards of ten feet of snow, and nosy neighbors include bears, mountain lions, and wolves. But for Sean, who was raised on a farm, all that just feels like home. “It’s really an antidote to the nonstop world we live in. Two and a half hours up the Taconic Parkway and we’re here,” he says, gesturing to the sweeping view. “Suddenly I feel human again.”

P

ractice what you preach. Walk the walk. Put your money where your mouth is. Pamela and Ramin Shamshiri, the fetching sister-and-brother partners in the AD100 Los Angeles design firm Studio Shamshiri, are doing all of the above in their dynamite new office on Sunset Boulevard. Flooded with natural light and serious charm, it redefines the concept of the creative workplace.

The Spanish Colonial–style building that houses the Shamshiris’ burgeoning enterprise was erected circa 1928 by silent-film cowboy Fred Thomson and his wife, pioneering screenwriter Frances Marion. When it opened, the structure was known, rather romantically, as the Court of Olive. The Cat & Fiddle restaurant and pub, a classic Tinseltown watering hole, inhabited the space for three decades before it closed in that location in 2014.

“I had really hoped for a place with a bit of Hollywood history, and I’ve always loved Spanish Colonial,” Pamela says of her dream location. “I wasn’t interested in an old warehouse or manufacturing space with a bow-truss ceiling. I wanted something that felt more like a house than a standard L.A. production office.” The designer and her team drew inspiration for the work space from far-flung sources: the American Academy in Rome (arches, arches, arches); architect Paul Rudolph’s own office in Sarasota, Florida (multiple level changes); and the deconstructed Mission style of various projects by early California modernist Irving Gill (tile floors and more arches).

References to residential design are more than mere stylistic choices. “We proceeded from the simple idea that a good, welcoming space would inspire good work. We all spend so much time in the office that it just made sense to re-create some of the comforts of home,” Ramin explains.

Consider the gracious kitchen-and-dining area. Boasting two huge, arched windows looking out to a verdant courtyard, it’s a far cry from the dreary microwave-and-coffeepot setups in typical offices. “We have a Friday staff breakfast every week, and we all take turns making the food. It’s everyone’s favorite meeting room, including clients,” Pamela says. “Ramin hosts an infamous taco night there, which is always a big hit,” she adds, shooting her brother a look that suggests the event is more of a tequila night with a few tacos thrown in for good measure.

Then there’s Pamela’s private office and lounge, which ratchet up the glamour factor dramatically. Bathed in a color named Green Smoke and separated by a massive archway, the spaces perfectly encapsulate the designer’s aesthetic sensibility. Curtains of cognac-hued velvet line the wall facing the courtyard, while the roster of furnishings—including a wellworn Chesterfield sofa, hefty wood stools by Alma Allen, a Le Corbusier sling chair in cowhide, pillows made from vintage kimonos, and shearling throws—indicates a penchant for warm, organic textures enlivened by strategic jolts of color.

“Pam has a shower and a dressing room. I just have a few neo-Gothic pointed windows,” Ramin protests, teasing his sister about the relative luxury of her arrangement. “I need those amenities if I want to stay in the office as long as necessary to get my work done,” Pamela claims in her own defense. “Day-to-night dressing is a myth.”

sabelle Stanislas has a knack for being associated with places inhabited by figures of note. The French designer, new to the AD100 this year, was recently tapped to revamp three state rooms at the Élysée Palace, the official residence of France’s presidents. Recent projects include the salon and restaurant at the Château Malromé, near Bordeaux, which once belonged to the mother of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. And the designer herself lives in the former duplex of the legendary photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, on Paris’s Rue de Rivoli. “I love being in spaces steeped in history,” she declares.

The owners of this particular majestic apartment on the Left Bank, Anna Peter Breton and her husband, would appear to have a similar predilection.

He is one of France’s most successful TV producers; she is a painter, whose canvases are inspired by their travels to destinations like Peru and Kyrgyzstan.

They used to reside in a 13,000-square-foot house

near the Bastille, which they acquired from the iconic fashion designer Kenzo. Hidden behind a tiny wooden door, it had a traditional teahouse, a 30-foot swimming pool in the living room, and a pond filled with gigantic koi.

Over time, the couple realized that it was not only too big but they also had difficulty making it their own.

“We were kind of living in Kenzo’s aura. We didn’t want to change it,” recalls Peter Breton, whose first major international exhibition opens on January 21 at the Vienna International Centre. They also had a desire for something more quintessentially French.

The 2,700-square-foot space they now share with their five-year-old daughter, Lena, certainly fits the bill. Occupying the étage noble of a 17th-century hôtel particulier close to the Seine, it has a few stories of its own to tell. In the 19th century, it was the property of descendants of Pierre Séguier, who presided over the trial in the 1660s of Nicolas Fouquet, the

man Louis XIV had famously arrested for embezzlement after Fouquet threw a conspicuously lavish party at his magnificent Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte.

When the couple first came across it, it had been divided into two separate apartments, which they linked back together. Neither had been renovated in quite some time, so they needed some work. “The bathroom looked like it was from the 1950s and nobody had used it since,” Peter Breton says. Their goal was to restore the resulting space as closely as possible to its initial condition, and in Stanislas they found the perfect ally. “I’m always very attached to the architectural spirit of a space,” she insists.

The only room that did not require any modifications was one of the offices, which is still wrapped in its original wall paneling. “It’s kind of this sacred cube that stayed intact,” quips Peter Breton. Elsewhere, a corridor to one side of the living room and a partition in the current-day kitchen were both removed to

re-create the double exposure so typical of classical French buildings. Part of the Versailles parquet was also salvaged and lovingly restored. “It was like a puzzle,” says Stanislas, who had each board carefully numbered as it was removed, so that it could be returned to the exact same spot. She tracked down the rest of the flooring with the tenacity of a treasure hunter, along with a whole multitude of period elements, such as fireplaces, moldings, and tiles. “The most complicated part was to find things that were the right fit,” declares Stanislas. “We couldn’t simply rejoice at discovering a beautiful 17th-century fireplace. We had to check that it matched the existing flues and that its weight could be supported by the building.”

The homeowners’ approach to the decoration was particularly hands-on. They commissioned their artist friend Cyprien Chabert to create an etchedglass partition featuring a botanical motif for a bathroom and brought with them numerous pieces of furniture and objects acquired from Kenzo, such as Native American headdresses, a sculpture from

Borneo, and the armchairs in the sitting room. They also sourced the collection of vintage Genovese chandeliers that run along the passageways on either side of the apartment.

Stanislas, meanwhile, brought in touches of modernity. She designed the monumental minimalist mirror-backed cupboards in the dining area and commissioned the Martin Szekely bamboo bookshelves in the living room. “They’re like an optical illusion,” Peter Breton remarks. “They look like they’re moving.” It was also Stanislas who recommended that the couple collaborate with the French landscape designer Camille Muller on their private garden, which is accessed via a flight of stairs off Peter Breton’s painting studio. “I love working with him,” says Stanislas. “He doesn’t try to create anything too perfect. He goes for a wilder look.”

There’s a certain looseness to the interior, too.

It’s stately but not staid; respectful of the building’s history but not slavishly so. And that’s exactly as Stanislas would have it: “My goal was both to remain true to its past and to give it a new soul.”

last word

Five years ago in New Orleans, Will Cooper, Ari Heckman, and Jonathan Minkoff of the AD100 firm ASH NYC found themselves smitten. Searching for a site for their next hotel, the trio and their local partner Nathalie Jordi arrived at a vacant Marigny church complex (complete with rectory, schoolhouse, and convent) designed in part by architect Henry Howard in the 1860s. As they took in the property’s cypress staircases, gingerbread façade, and gilded altars, they knew this was it—the perfect site and the perfect neighborhood. “We’ll do whatever it takes,” Cooper recalls thinking. What it took was some 12 months to rezone the property, years of mood-boarding, a restoration in conjunction with NOLA’s studioWTA, and several buying trips to Europe, just one of which yielded 770 antiques. “We wanted it to be very ‘done,’ ” Cooper says. “We wanted proper decoration.” Today, those finds fill the halls of Hôtel Peter & Paul, where guests enter through the schoolhouse to reach the 71 rooms—many of them furnished with custom gingham fabrics, trompe l'oeil–covered armoires, and Greek and Russian icon paintings that inspired the rich color palettes. As for the rectory, convent, and church, those structures now boast retail, event spaces, and dining options courtesy of local hot spot Bacchanal. Says Heckman, “We’re creating a fantasy, a total escape.” Rooms from $99; hotelpeterandpaul.com —HANNAH MARTIN
