LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Miami has recently become my home away from home—and I don’t mind it one bit. Even though I am there on business, I’ve found that sneaking to the beach just before sunset and putting my toes in sand makes me feel like I am on a fabulous beach vacation, even if just for a minute. The design energy in Miami is rejuvenating. Multi-million dollar condos are being built and sold at rapid rates, and the city is undergoing incredible expansion due to the interest in investment properties from Russian and South American buyers. When it became time to decide where to open the next extension of the Ligné brand, Ligné Atelier, Miami was the natural choice. This issue is dedicated to the arts and culture of Miami, and everything about the city that makes it one of the hottest international spots in the country. We gear up for our Ligné Atelier launch during Art Basel with a look into the city’s top galleries and all of the hot spots to hit for great design and fabulous cocktails, in true Miami style. I am also thrilled that the beautiful and exceptionally talented Ivanka Trump shares her top 10 must haves in Lust List. As the head of design for Trump Hotel Collections, she knows a thing or two about high style! Enjoy this issue of Ligné Magazine, and we will see you in Miami!

DESIGNER METALS

WRITTEN BY MEREDITH XAVIER

In an industry where copies run rampant and original ideas are few and far between, designers like Laura Byford and Carol Veronique, the design duo behind Malibu based Byford and Veronique, are like a breath of fresh air. When they described their work to me, I was intrigued. When I finally had the chance to see their first collection, I was floored. Their technique has allowed even the most intricate patterns (think vintage lace) to be captured forever in metal. “With our beautiful concept of mixing natural textures, coated with resins and liquid metals including white bronze crocodile skins, rose gold shagreen effects and many more, we hope to have captured the imagination and interest of renowned designers from all over the world and we continue to experience a rapid sales growth and global expansion of our brand,” explains Byford. Their first collection launched in the spring of 2014 with coffee and side tables, as well as an outdoor bench in microcement. In the fall, we can expect to see their outdoor collection expand into seating, and also the availability of their specialty metalwork to be seen in wall panels and tiles. An entire kitchen backsplash in their rose gold Divine, or a fireplace in their deeply cracked Bonneville? Now we are talking. See more about Byford and Veronique, browse their selection of finishes and find showrooms at www.byfordandveronique.com.

THE WELL TRAVELED, REFINED EYE JONATHAN BROWNING PREMIERES HIS FIRST RUG COLLABORATION WITH VAHEED TAHERI WRITTEN BY ADRIANE JEFFERSON Known for his inimitable ability to provide modern lighting remedies to the glaring lack of authentic illumination options, award winning product designer Jonathan Browning is revealing an entirely different creative side. The lighting connoisseur has unveiled his first collection of rugs, created in collaboration with Vaheed Taheri, whose San Francisco based firm is esteemed for its exquisite productions of handmade Tibetan carpet. Browning and Taheri’s partnership was born out of a shared obsession with quality craftsmanship and as it turns out, a mutual love for traveling. The collection consists of ten new exquisite designs with distinctive details. Each and every rug shares a different story generated from Browning’s extensive travels, appreciation of classic art works and love for ancient designs. “Travel has always been integral to my design and production process,” said Browning. “For instance, a particular rug in this collection is completely inspired by my time spent in Morocco, where a palace was covered in the most ornate carved plaster work I had ever seen. I lifted one exact pattern and let that be the basis for the rug.” Browning’s intricacies in design has not always been merely devoted to products, He was first and foremost an interior designer. After serving as Senior Vice President of designing for

Starwood Hotels—where he was responsible for the decor of W, Westin, and St. Regis—Browning has devoted the past 10 years to producing lighting that employ techniques that have remain unchanged since the 18th century. This obsession with quality—almost to an unhealthy degree—is what brought Browning and Taheri together for this collaboration. Two contemporary designers who celebrate industrial precision. “I believe that rugs are art for the floor and should be treated like art, and it is undoubted that Browning has this way of treating every design as art. This shared approach is what made the rug collection what it is—creative and inspired.” states Taheri. In a way that only Browning can achieve, each rug pulls from Browning’s wealth of inspiration, from trips to Morocco to a Van Gogh painting. The collection captures a regal yet dynamic look that blends beautiful wool with wild silk. “I have traveled to countries such as Nepal, India and Turkey to learn techniques from people that have been weaving carpet for generations. Most people don’t get such an opportunity to get close to the daily life of the people who make these rugs, it is a life story and I decided to be a story teller,” said Taheri, “Through this collection I was able to help Browning tell his.”

LUIS R. RIGUAL “I loved the indigo blue tones that permeated many of the men’s collections this summer and I was happy to see that variations of that color are making a significant splash this fall as well. As far as interior design goes, I am definitely feeling all the herringbone and Op Art influences that I am seeing.” Editor-in-Chief, Miami Modern Luxury Brass Puzzle Lamp jonathanadler.com–$1250

ERIN NEWBERG “For the hottest trends in fashion, I believe in sticking with classics starting with jewelry, like the Love bracelet from Cartier and Van Cleef and Arpels’ Alhambra earrings. Pertaining to dressing, I love local designers like Golondrina. Her dresses are the best secret and her items translate from day to night. A Bottega Veneta large Cabat bag is also a must, paired with a metallic Bottega sandal.” Founder of MSERINSITA.com and Lifestyle Editor of HauteLiving.com

JULIA FORD-CARTHER “In Miami, fall trends are always tailored a bit to fit the still-humid temps and colorful landscape. But with this season’s bright and bold shades that we saw at Dior, Altuzarra, Thakoon, and Emanuel Ungaro, we can rock the looks straight from the runway. Interiors are softening up as of late, as new builds have partnered with a slew of notable designers who are modernizing the typical uber-slick Miami style with an eco-chic edge. Gone are the days of all-white, lacquered finishes as Thom Filicia brings his contemporary beachy vibe to Biscayne Beach and Debora Aguiar’s concept of bringing the outside in fills units at 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach, Marea, and Hyde Hollywood.” Fashion Editor, Ocean Drive Magazine

Fey Lemon Square Pillow by Thom Filicia Home Collection for Eastern Accents Sedgwick & Brattle–$126

KATIE JACKSON “This fall, Miami will be seeing pops of color mixed with the season’s usual dark hues. Think pastels, prints, and lots of gold mixed with neutrals. My absolute favorite fall look would have to be a printed or gold dress paired with a black leather jacket or blazer. Throw on a glamorous statement cuff or necklace and a chic pair of low-heeled booties, and you’ll be right on trend with the fashionistas in the Magic City!” Fashion Editor, Miami Shoot Magazine

Miami ON TOP OF SOFIA JOELSSON TURNS TWO OCEANSIDE PENTHOUSES INTO ONE SPRAWLING OASIS

WRITTEN BY MEREDITH XAVIER PHOTOGRAPHED BY JOEY ACCORDINO

A penthouse with incredible ocean views and a bright contemporary interior perfect for entertaining and watching the sunset on the terrace—now that is luxurious living in Miami. When it comes to the highly coveted international style Miami is known for, Sofia Joelsson knows how to get the look. Her international client base seeks her designs for their open layouts, bright accents and innate ability to make a space ultra-contemporary without losing the comfort. The Capri Marina Grande was no exception. The clients wanted a modern Italian look and feel, with large open spaces suited for entertaining family and friends—naturally taking advantage of the spectacular 270 degree views of the ocean and downtown Miami. Originally two penthouses, Joelsson had the task of merging them into one seamless space with 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths.

Design features include linear lighting in the hallways, bespoke lighting designs, upholstery by Minotti and custom furniture by Joelsson throughout the living room and bedrooms. Every detail of the master bath was created to accent the tub and take advantage of the expansive views. Wrap around wood detailing is used on the walls and frame of the tub while mirrors on the wall reflect the water and add sex appeal.

“The most incredible aspect of this project was the terrace. It is the perfect place to have a cocktail and watch the sunset over downtown Miami at the end of the day,” quotes Joelsson. “Although we had to use a crane to bring up all of the outdoor furniture that was way too large for the elevators!”

In comparison to other newly developed Miami neighborhoods, like Brickell where high-rise condo buildings and luxury businesses have become the neighborhood’s personality, Goldman Properties’ Managing Director, Joseph Furst, doesn’t see Wynwood becoming gentrified in a similar sense. “The lifestyle may evolve and become more high-end but there will always be a focus on entrepreneurs and local creatives. It is important to keep the soul of the place,” says Furst, “Wynwood is Miami’s home of the creative class in any medium. Art is the vocabulary for the neighborhood.” According to Furst, Goldman Properties’ focus is on reusing and adapting existing spaces in Wynwood to include commercial and residential space while maintaining a human scaleable environment fit for the area. “The goal is to keep the area pedestrian friendly with about five-to-eight story mixed-use infill,” states Furst. The street art of Wynwood lends itself to the neighborhood’s existing architecture. Much different from the glass towers popping up across Miami, the existing low-rise warehouses of Wynwood are exterior canvases for the culture and it is important for new development to maintain that culture. This is something that developers Bradley Carlson and David Polinsky of Fortis Development Group took into consideration when developing 250 Wynwood, the first approved new construction condo building in the neighborhood. As their slogan inspires “Home is where the ART is,” 250 Wynwood is an innovative concept in that the architecture includes street art, which wraps and fills the building’s surface, as a design choice. “Our building reflects the simple boxiness of the surrounding warehouse structures, and also incorporates beautiful street art, one of Wynwood’s hallmarks,” explains Carlson.

While Wynwood is growing with retail, design shops, galleries, and dining, the area is slow with residential development due to existing residential zoning restrictions. These zoning restrictions are being challenged by developers like Goldman Properties and Fortis Development Group and small gains are being won. Currently, Fortis Development Group is in the process of planning a near future development in a land parcel adjacent to 250 Wynwood. “As a former New Yorker, Wynwood feels similar to the neighborhoods I know and love--like the Meatpacking District, Soho, and Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Wynwood is an exciting place, prime for carefully-planned, beautifully designed, urban infill development,” explains Carlson. “We will start to see small-scale, low-rise residential development that is sensitive to to the area’s creative vibe and preserves the neighborhood’s best characteristics, such as warehouses wrapped in mural arts.”

BRITTO CENTRAL Britto Central Gallery on acclaimed Lincoln Road in South Beach, Miami offers fine art to collectors across the globe. Amongst the art are formal displays, photos, memorabilia and perhaps a stray paintbrush, which provide a glimpse into Romero Britto’s creative world. It is here where a talented artist, whose history is dedicated to the play of vibrant colors, finds a home in which his art drapes every surface for not just a few, but the joy of everyone. Born in Brazil, Romero Britto came to the United States in 1983 seeking new experiences that he might integrate into his art. He has stayed faithful to his belief that his artistic efforts be shared with others and enjoyed by many. Today, Britto’s work is collected and shown around the world, from Asia to South America and across Europe. Yet 20 years later, Britto Central Gallery remains the home where the first strokes of color manifest his vision.
