Introducing Perennials and Sutherland’s Fall 2021 collections with the acclaimed Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen. The Perennials by Van Duysen collection of fabrics and rugs was born out of the desire to embed the mood of the designer’s renowned Antwerp house into an array of textiles.The eight fabrics and six rug designs reflect the textures, tactility, moods, and tones found in his home. The result? A mix of fabrics deriving not only from Vincent’s diverse influences and travels, but also from the juxtaposition of unexpected patterns that instill a sense of home into outdoor environments. The new Sutherland collection, Franck Modular, expands on Van Duysen’s successful 2018 Franck Collection, reiterating the elegant warmth of the original pieces but now with the added versatility of modular seating.

In honor of Clarence House’s 60th anniversary, the Queen of Color, Michelle Nussbaumer is introducing a new pink colorway to her classic Fez Embroidery pattern. The designer has been collecting Fez work since her first trip to the Moroccan town, and her design, which captures the elaborate embroidery stitches of traditional Fez work, is based on a vintage piece from her personal collection. Asked what inspired the remarkable hue for this special 60th Anniversary edition , Nussbaumer replied, “The pale rose sunsets in San Miguel de Allende and the pink sands around Marrakech. I just love pink.”
As celebrated as she is as a designer, CHARLOT TE MOSS is almost equally well known as a philanthropist. And her new book Home: A Celebration (Rizzoli) is testament to her caring and her creativity. Inspired by Edith Whar ton’s 1916 The Book of the Homeless, which aided children and refugees during the First World War, Moss recruited a lively mix of 125 contributors, from Jon Meacham to Bette Midler to Gloria Steinem, to contemplate the idea and the ideal of home, all in aid of No Kid Hungr y.

With a title like House Dressing: Interiors for Color ful Living (Monacelli) it makes sense that the first book from JANIE MOL STER would be full of rooms dressed in multiple shades of pink, grass greens, deep reds, and dazzling purples. The nine homes featured are layered and luxe, gleaming with golden accents, but they are also comfor table, practical, and full of common- sense lessons which the Richmond, Virginia-based designer elucidates with low-key charm and contagious enthusiasm, making elegance seem easy and pretty seem per fectly attainable.

21 · H I V E F a l l 2 0 21
With a setting within a forest of aspens, and with dramatic views of Mount Hayden, location became primar y for this new Aspen home. Architect CRISTOF EIGELBERGER sited the house to center on the views and worked with landscape architects Design Workshop to enhance the surroundings and build with minimal impact on the trees. The brief was to blend the home into the landscape using natural materials that aged over time. Moss rock, poplar bark shingles, and cedar and copper roof shingles blend with the natural palette. Expansive sliding glass-and- steel doors draw in the beautiful surroundings, while glass halls connect the rooms, making the outdoors omnipresent. Inside, the refined materials include bronze, reclaimed white oak, leather, and hand-forged steel.

When a fun - loving couple bought a clas sic townhouse in the historic The Rocks area of Sydney, they respected tradition, but had no intention of being bound by it. They didn’t want the interior to feel like a t ypical Sydney terrace or traditionally Australian in any manner. Rather, they were in search of a home that would feel international in st yle —
glamorous, lushly comfor table, completely of the moment. So they turned to THOM A S HAM E L who ran with their love of color and pat tern, filling the rooms with rich hues and gleaming accent s. All ceilings were transformed with a special paint finish, gold leaf, or wallpaper. Favorite pos ses sions were enhanced with mosaic tiles impor ted
from Canada, a custom farmhouse sink made in Florence, and fabric s sourced from around the world. Touches of gold sparkle throughout— the dining room’s sconces, custom de Gournay panels in the main bedroom, and a bespoke rug in the sit ting room. The result is opulent yet contemporar y, color ful yet completely harmonious.

Who doesn’t like a home renovation— once they’re completed? Until then, they tend to be noisy, prone to delays and cost overruns, and full of dust. And for art collectors, renovations also can damage valuable possessions. Before starting any renovation, consider moving your collection to a fine art storage facility or protect it from these on-site construction risks: Vibrations. Construction equipment creates vibrations that may dislodge artwork from walls and pedestals. An art handler can reinforce hardware, insert vibration-absorbing foam behind artworks, and stabilize items with museum wax. Install vibration sensors to detect excessive shaking. Accidental Damage. Construction zones are a minefield of “trip and fall” accidents. Keep artwork out of the direct path of workers and elevate items off the floor in a secure area. Dust. Renovations generate airborne debris that can adhere to the surfaces of artworks. Seal off construction areas with plastic sheet barriers, close exposed fireplace dampers, windows, and air vents, and clean HVAC filters regularly. When renovations wrap-up, allow time for surface drying and ventilation, and conduct a home systems test-run before re-installing the collection.

furniture, she took an unexpected approach to their shingle-style cottage. She retained the house’s bones but filled the rooms not only with their pieces, but also dining chairs by Frank Gehry, low-slung

seating, and distinctive lighting. Artworks instill a distinct personality into each room, and there are plenty of spots for relaxed conversations, bringing a contemporary twist to the cottage ideal.
SAFARI is Justin Van Breda’s new collection of African-inspired craft and design. Africa is an adventure, and we hope this furniture collection takes you on a virtual safari across her elemental lands, so that you can smell the dust on the winds and the deep red earth, hear the whispering of the grass on the plains and the chits of the tick birds in the Acacia tree, and see the artists bent gracefully over their work, shaping every piece with an enduring passion and dedication that captures the true spirit of the continent.

FOR A NASHVILLE SONGWRITER, WADE WEIS SMANN E XPANDS A CHARMING FARMHOUSE INTO A CONTEMP OR ARY HOME THAT ENCOUR AGES FAMILY RE VELRY— AND CRE ATIVIT Y

A historic farmhouse on the outskir ts of Nashville initially seemed like the ideal spot for a successful songwriter and his family. But it soon became clear that the kitchen was far too small, and there was no space to which the songwriter could escape to hone his craf t. That’s when they turned to Milwaukee -based architect WADE WEISSMANN. He and his team expanded the kitchen, raised the ceiling to
bring in ample light, and added a mudroom and laundr y. A new covered walkway leads to the garage, atop which the architect crafted a writing retreat. To retain the original charm, indigenous materials and forms were used both inside (Dutch door, shed dormers, wood beams) and out (field stone, and boardand-batten and shingle siding), yielding a renovation that seems as rooted to the land as the original.

This contemporary residence, perched on the South Bay hillside near San Francisco, was once a conventional ranch-style home. Its transformation by the architectural firm Studio Peek Ancona required an astute architectural vision incorporating an artist’s mix of natural materials. The most crucial design element of the project, which was overseen by Neely Engineering and Contracting, was sourcing building product that performed beyond all expectations. Using Bonelli was the clear choice, due to its reputation for excellence and limitless capabilities. The engineering team at Bonelli designed high-grade aluminum windows and doors that soar floor to ceiling. Sliding and casement windows provide ventilation and glass doors invite in outdoor beauty without compromising performance or energy efficiency. A signature powder-coat finish protects from wind, rain, and temperature extremes. This bold remodel required a seamless collaboration between Bonelli and the architects. From the sleek facade to the spacious interior rooms, every space in this one-of-a-kind home glimmers with the play of natural light.

FOR CLIENTS WHO WANTED INTERNATIONAL ST Y LE AND C OMFORT AT THEIR MIS SIS SIPPI HOME, DESIGNER SE AN ANDERS ON CR AF TS A HOME WHERE LUXURY RULES, AND CLE AN - LINED MODERNISM DOESN’T PRECLUDE WARMTH
The setting in Tupelo, Mississippi, may be bucolic but there is nothing rustic about the home that Memphis-based designer SE AN ANDE RSON created for clients who had adored their exp erience s at luxur y hotels . The house was renovated by architect David Anderson to
reflect both classical design (high ceilings, crown moldings) and contemporar y features (pale floors, the staircase balustrade). The interior designer filled the expansive rooms with striking new pieces in a subtle palette and a smattering of classic antiques.
He amplified the modernit y with a kitchen sheathed in marble with a showpiece hood of waxed raw steel, and a geometric marble mantle in the living room. The result is both gr and and rela xed, Southern in it s warmth but global in it s approach.
