“We were designing for floor-to-ceiling glass and needed a sleek design with minimal frames. Western Window Systems fit that scope. They have a very regular, modern design for sliding doors and fixed window systems, so it worked perfectly for the house that way.”

“I am starting to see a trend in darker, deeply-hued spaces.

I would call them ‘dark and lovely,’ and this is one of my personal favorite happenings in design right now—I’ve even implemented it into my own home. Clients are requesting a more moody and sophisticated feel, and I can achieve this look by using those dark color tones, along with sensual textures and accessories.”

RATTAN REVIVAL

MAXIMALIST PATTERN PLAY

“Steeped in history, rattan is now returning to interiors—and not only in coastal or outdoor settings. I love the typical honey color, but I also enjoy seeing it used in painted hues paired with unexpected shapes. One of my favorite approaches is to mix rattan objects into more polished spaces, as it adds just the right bit of style tension to keep a room from feeling too formal.”

“Eye-catching walls are definitely making a statement.

Whether abstract, tropical or geometric, the use of vibrant color and pattern in wall art and wallpaper is bigger than ever—and I’m thrilled to see it! Minimalism has its place, but bold, expressive prints and audacious color combinations evoke a whimsy that, in my opinion, is unmatched.”

LETTER EDITOR’S

Real Intelligence Our workplace Slack channel, “Learn AI,” is frequently pinging with updates on the latest tools and links to YouTubers who share weekly recaps and practical uses.

I wish that I could say I was interested.

But, at the moment, I am fascinated by another regenerative force: that of trees.

A few months ago, I moved from a heavily-developed area to one of the most biologically diverse regions in the country.

My neighborhood was planned in the 1920s by landscape architect John Nolen in collaboration with Frederick Law Olmsted, and it is filled with massive century-old trees. An 80-foot white oak graces my front yard, and this mighty tree supports more life-forms than any other North American tree genus, providing food and protection for birds, bears, squirrels and countless insects and spiders. It will produce three million acorns in its lifetime and drop about 700,000 leaves each year, creating a habitat that regenerates and makes its own vibrant community right outside my door. Plus, oak trees also sequester carbon.

Pamela Jaccarino VP, Editor in Chief @pamelajaccarino

As part of the SANDOW DESIGN GROUP (SDG) carbon impact initiative, we are now printing using soy-based inks, which are biobased and derived from renewable sources. This continues SDG’s ongoing efforts to address the environmental impact of its operations and media platforms.

SHELF LIFE

DESIGN, STYLE & INFLUENCE W R I T T E N BY K H A D E J A H K H A N

Alexa Hampton’s latest book, the third in her oeuvre, explores the design evolution of her longtime New York City residences—in a building she’s called home for 27 years— through vivid snapshots and heartfelt tributes. Luxe chatted with the prolific designer to learn more. alexahampton.com; penguinrandomhouse.com What inspired this book? I wanted to write about my lifelong influences. Some are seminal moments, like the Bill Blass and Givenchy sales. Others are museums or architects that have inspired me. That’s the core of the book—“love letters” to various people, places and experiences that have shaped me.

How do you balance grandeur with what you describe as “normalcy” in your home? I’ve given myself permission to have things like crazy helmets and formal elements, but they aren’t necessarily reflective of my personality—it’s about what delights me.

GARDEN PARTY LIGHTSCAPE

In partnership with Sony Music, the Chicago Botanic Garden’s Lightscape returns to celebrate its fifth year. After dark on select dates through January 7, the garden transforms into a spectacular landscape of light, color and sound for the holidays. This year’s event will extend to different parts of the venue, including the 5-acre Evening Island, and feature both new installations, such as the Electric Ribbon Tunnel, and classic works, like the popular Winter Cathedral. With festive food and beverages available to visitors as they stroll through the mesmerizing illuminated trails, this seasonal event makes being outside during Chicago winter nights well worth braving the chill. chicagobotanic.org/lightscape

Any advice for the next generation of designers? First, look at people you admire in other fields. What can you draw from their story? Second, take yourself seriously.

Designing is a craft that requires intelligence, but it should not be divorced from our creative angels. Find the balance that suits you; authenticity is key to success.

TWO DESIGNERS TURN TO CHICAGO ARTISANS FOR THEIR COLLECTIONS OF CUSTOM FURNITURE.

HEIRLOOM BY ALEXANDRA KAEHLER This year, designer Alexandra Kaehler launched Heirloom, a collection of timeless furniture made in Chicago. Each piece is handcrafted by custom atelier Artisan312 and offered in an array of carefully selected fabrics. “We trust them implicitly,” Kaehler says of the team, who has also made custom furnishings for clients of her firm, Alexandra Kaehler Design. “We are true partners in the process.

They do everything to the highest possible quality.” Heirloom encompasses four pieces: the clean-lined Finn sofa; Sadie (above), a petite chair with hand-tufting; Jack, a club chair based off an antique find; and the wood-framed H ottoman. “I started the collection because it felt like there was such a gap in the market for high quality furnishings in interesting shapes and fabrics,” she explains. “The basics are pretty well covered, but it’s tough to find a ‘wow’ piece unless you go custom.” With a focus on aesthetics and comfort, Heirloom pieces suit interiors both traditional and modern, according to Kaehler.

“I love mixing different styles of furniture; it’s what makes a space unique,” she says. “You can design an entire family room with our pieces or just fill a gap in your space.” alexandrakaehler.com

NATALIE KONSTANT X ARCH Natalie Konstant, principal designer with Konstant Home, and Laura White, founder of Arch home goods store in Winnetka, share an underlying mission to make one-of-akind artisan design more accessible to the North Shore. “Arch feels like a chic French market,” Konstant says.

“The first time I went in and met Laura, I thought to myself, ‘She really gets it.’ ” Partnering on a line of custom furniture, the duo launched a collection inspired by iconic French designers but made by local craftsmen. “Chicago has amazing artisans, and I always try to source local talent when I can,” Konstant says. “I like going to their studios and talking through every detail, which is really important to me.” Available exclusively at Arch, pieces—such as the Settee Nouvelle (right), a sleek upholstered oak seat—can be ordered in a variety of fabrics and finishes. “This collection is about bringing new life to works by some of the most influential French designers of the 20th century—Jean Royère, Jean Prouvé and Pierre Jeanneret,” Konstant says. “They were masters in utilizing restraint, something I strive for in my work.” archglow.com

MEET THE MAKER ANN TOEBBE

DESIGN

Ann Toebbe doesn’t just paint. Rather, she layers elaborate collages of furniture and objects on top of her paintings, resulting in compositions that play with flat geometry while offering multiple points of view. The intricate, colorful final pieces are portals into domestic life. Here, the Hyde Park-based artist shares more about her work. anntoebbe.com

SCENE

Why the focus on domestic life? I’m interested in how people set up and organize their homes. Since I was a kid, I have always looked at people’s residences as an indication of their class— I didn’t know much about it, but I knew when someone’s sofa was nicer than the one in my living room. Many of the homes I depict are Midwestern and middle class; my parents’ house in Cincinnati has been a decades-long focus. My paintings are inventories of my fixation on how and where people live.

MINDFUL DESIGN INDUSTRY PROS SHARE THEIR FORWARDTHINKING APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY W R I T T E N BY C O L L E E N M C T I E R N A N

Jasmin Reese A LUXE Next In Design 99 honoree, Reese makes it a priority to cut down on the carbon footprint of her firm, Jasmin Reese Interiors, when creating her colorful, confident designs.

Here, she shares how she achieves that goal. JR: I try to reuse clients’ existing pieces when possible and freshen them up with new coverings. We’ve also used leftover marble for window ledges, made pillows from drapery remnants and even wrapped waste bins in scraps of wallpaper. jasminreeseinteriors.com Bridgette Haulenbeek As principal of her eponymous firm, Bridgette Haulenbeek Interiors, this LUXE Next In Design 99 talent keeps low-waste practices top of mind as she crafts spaces that look as grounded as they feel. BH: Coming from a modest Midwest background, it can feel excessive at times to buy new just for the sake of buying new. I’m also an avid composter with The Urban Canopy’s Compost Club, which I mention to clients when designing their kitchens. If they decide to join, we make sure to incorporate space for a compost bucket. bridgettehaulenbeek.com See our Next In Design 99

How do you construct your works? I don’t have a single formula, but I start with an architectural layout. All my collage paper is hand-painted, and I may add mixed media, such as yarn, glitter and flocking.

The amount of detail, objects and furniture depends on how much information I have—I build the paintings from photos, texts, social media posts and memory.

Next (Re)Generation LUXE MEETS THREE CREATORS WHOSE FORWARD-THINKING PRACTICES START WITH REGENERATIVE DESIGN AND BETTERING THE WORLD AROUND US.

Acropora by Sangmin Oh for TextielMuseum is part of his “Knitted Light” series, which uses elastic, glow-inthe-dark yarn and recycled monofilament fishing line.

SANGMIN OH

For Daniel Michalik, whose Brooklyn studio crafts striking seating and objets from cork (like the Arm Chair, below), working with the medium is more than an aesthetic choice—it is part of an effort to “rethink our relationship to natural systems.” The lifecycle and harvesting methods for cork make it a uniquely environmentally responsible material because cork trees can be harvested naturally every nine years without damage. And using this flexible, raw material is part of a circular manufacturing loop, as it’s recyclable and its main global use, the production of bottle stoppers, leaves large amounts of leftovers. Michalik, a professor at Parsons School of Design, makes frequent trips to Portugal, where cork forests abound, to study and preserve the centuries-old harvesting techniques handed down through generations. danielmichalik.com

When Korean-born designer Sangmin Oh decided to create three-dimensional textile lighting, he found himself experimenting at the fabric laboratory of the TextielMuseum in Tilburg, Netherlands, which became a playground of sorts for the maker. There, using a knitting machine, he was able to mix materials until he found his recipe for magic: a combination of elastic, glow-in-the-dark yarn and recycled monofilament fishing line. “Because of its transparent quality, it lets you play with light,” Oh says of his amorphous, abstract “Knitted Light” pieces which evoke natural forms, specifically, threatened coral. At night, Oh’s designs emit a soft glow showing different hues and dimensions, and, in the daylight, they are textile sculptures inspiring wonder and reflection. osangmin.com

TREY JONES One look at Trey Jones’ sculptural furnishings and your eye is drawn to the unusual patterning, rich coloration and whimsical proportions. What may not be immediately apparent is that the pieces are also a feat of ingenuity in reusing resources. At the workspace Jones shares in Washington, D.C., piles of plywood would accumulate as cabinet makers crafted their wares. Soon, the artist was inspired to give the scraps new life and landed on a technique inspired by Japanese Nerikomi ceramics, in which Jones painstakingly assembles small offcut sections into elaborate motifs created by exposing the wood cut ends. For the Plinths Cabinet, at left, the compounded technique reveals the inherent nature of the pattern within. treyjonesstudio.com; cultureobject.com

has yielded hauntingly memorable spaces, including a Manhattan refuge in which blue-chip contemporary art takes center stage, and light and air are ingredients as important to the finished scheme as the chevron patterned floors and curvy sofas.

The project exemplifies Cotton’s belief that there should be a continuous push and pull between objects and furnishings as though they are in constant communication.

Cotton’s rooms are always poetic, never banal, and pared down to sensuous and unexpected details and couplings that evoke emotion. How does he compose beautiful interiors that actually make you

feel something? “You have to edit,” he says.

“I want people to bring things into their lives that have meaning. The objects and materials you employ in a space should be intentional. Intentionality dictates respect.

Do you need this? Is this the best version?

I would rather not buy a decorative object just to fill a room. I want houses to evolve over time and give people a canvas to paint their own spaces.” His talent lies in the way he distills a client’s passions to their best possible version and then gives them plenty of room to soar and sing.

“Above all,” says Cotton, “design should be filled with joy.” billycotton.com

He is a polymath decorator whose soulful, wideranging body of work can incorporate bouillon fringe and chintz balloon shades as easily— and winningly— as it does sculptural staircases and chalky white walls left ethereally unadorned. And while Billy Cotton’s deft, resonant interiors can run the gamut stylistically, they are all rooted in a rigorous, inquisitive point of view the New York-based practitioner picked up at Pratt Institute. “I trained as an industrial designer, which was all about how somebody uses something and how they interact with an object, whether it’s a plate or silverware. I think of all my projects that way,” he says. “What does somebody need, what is the problem and why did they come to me?”

The function-forward answer leads Cotton to a client-specific game plan that leaves him room to play—with materials, with furnishings, with romance. “I’m a dreamer. I love to fantasize about what beauty or luxury can be. When we get together with clients, we are having fun.”

In Cotton’s world, “fun” is a humble euphemism for an intuitive process that

TODAY’S TOP TALENTS WEIGH IN ON THE PROS AND CONS OF AI FOR RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE.

In an industry that values the trained eye and a studied approach, it’s perhaps no surprise that many architects are wary of artificial intelligence programs that whip up new renderings at the push of a button. “It’s fascinating software, but it is frightening,” says Fort Worth-based architect Jeff Garnett, who does not use AI in his work but has tested the software after hours. “Design is a human creation, and we have to hold onto that as long as we can.”

If you plug the phrase “Georgian Revival estate stucco” into an AI program like Midjourney, you will get multiple versions of a visualization rendering returned in mere seconds—sans blueprints and the actual details needed to build a house, of course. While these images may look authentic, they don’t replace a trained—human— professional. “You’re going to have to be careful with these programs and stay well-informed, not trusting things too much,” architect Tom Kligerman of New York City firm

LUXESOURCE.COM

Kligerman Architecture & Design heeds when it comes to taking what’s in front of you for fact or fiction.

Still, AI has its perks—especially as back-of-the-napkin initial sketches can be replaced by a tool that creates a nearly-instant rendering to elucidate an architect’s imaginings. Andrew Kudless, principal of design studio Matsys and a Professor at the University of Houston’s Hines College of Architecture + Design, believes AI can be helpful in several ways. “In the early design phases, it can explore more ideas in less time without modeling and rendering each iteration. Also, as AI models become more sophisticated and attuned to architectural problems they can help automate essential yet labor-intensive tasks, freeing up designers’ time.” In short: there are ways to put the intelligence in artificial intelligence. “There is this perception that AI models are either godlike superbeings or evil robots coming for everyone’s job,” Kudless says.

Juicy Fruit NOVEL PLANT AND FRUIT LEATHERS OFFER STYLISH QUALITIES ENTIRELY THEIR OWN.

A new crop of leathers is popping up and meeting the (environmentally conscious) moment, offering elegant alternatives to traditional materials. By using sustainably farmed plants, fruits and byproducts with lower ecological footprints, these imaginative textiles can capture the lithe look and grains of animal leathers while also producing unique aesthetic effects, introducing tantalizing possibilities for interior design.

That’s what attracted Brooklyn-based furniture designer Bowen Liu to Fruitleather Rotterdam.

The Dutch brand makes plant leather from spoiled mangos, resulting in textiles that feature naturally stained pebbled textures and embossed crocodilelike patterns. But Liu intuitively gravitated to Fruitleather’s original mottled finish, which reveals pieces of the mango’s natural pulpy texture and golden hue. “I like showing the details of a material without sacrificing its integrity,” explains the designer. “The pulp and fiber add character that feels authentic.”

This speaks to plant leather’s underlying appeal— one-of-a-kind materiality, and a sense of place and history. Another brand making waves is Desserto, who is producing a leather-like textile from the nopal cactus on its farms in Zacatecas, Mexico. The heritage, drought-hardy perennial is grown without irrigation or pesticides. In the Philippines, Ananas Anam is using leftover pineapple leaf fibers to make their signature Piñatex leather. They recently collaborated with famed British designer Tom Dixon, covering his wingback chairs in metallic Piñatex to create an effect reminiscent of leather crossed with texturized silver.

Such partnerships play a central role in carving sustainable paths forward. For Liu, the key to unlocking plant leather’s potential is creative curiosity.

“I’m interested in materials and applying them to the proper applications,” she says. “It’s necessary to touch them and learn about their properties.”

FAMILIAL TIES Brooklyn-based designer Sarah Nsikak is grateful for the growing interest and appreciation in quilting, which is introducing her beloved practice to a greater audience. “For the first time in a while, people want to understand how things are made,” says Nsikak, for whom quilting is personal. When she was a young child, her grandmother immigrated to the states from Nigeria and looked to quilting as a form of communication. “She taught me how to sew, and I think that established a new language and storytelling of sorts.” Her piece It May As Well Be Spring (above) is made of leftover scraps from her fashion brand, La Réunion, and presents an amalgamation of symbols, like a fish and chair, which are meaningful to the creator yet still relatable to viewers. sarahnw.com

RHYTHMIC ROUSE It was during his MFA studies at Cranbrook Academy of Art that Julian Jamaal Jones pivoted from fashion photography to fiber arts and quilting—a craft his grandmother practiced in her youth. It’s that kind of comforting familiarity that Jones surmises could be behind the artform’s rise. “I’m on a mission to rewrite the rules of quilting and create my own unique verbiage within the medium,” says the Indianapolis-based artist. Jones’ practice implements abstract forms and vibrant colors, bypassing preconceptions and opening a dialogue around his Black experience. Take the three pieces here: Inspired by gospel music’s rhythms, lyrics and harmonies, the movement of each design mimics song beats and the feelings they evoke. The materials are as dynamic as the patterns themselves, with cottons, denims and plush velvets existing alongside one another. julianjamaaljones.format.com

COMMUNAL COMFORTS It was in 2003 when then-art student Martha Clippinger viewed a quilt exhibit at the Whitney Museum in New York that she realized this homespun craft could hold court among fine artwork. Fast-forward to today, and the Durham, North Carolina, quilter’s own works are now displayed in museums and galleries. Cuadricula Quilt, shown hanging, and Iona’s Covid Quilt, on the table, exemplify Clippinger’s keen observation of color. “I’ve always been interested in quilts as a way to discuss ideas about pattern, symmetry and, in particular, tonal relationships,” she says. “I share Josef Albers’ interest in studying the effects of color through direct observation. Making quilts with found materials is about looking at what’s in front of you and testing combinations to create dynamic arrangements of color.” marthaclippinger.com

BASIC INSTINCTS For Los Angeles creative Adam Pogue, a handmade quilt represents the ultimate gesture. “They serve a purpose; they keep us warm. And for as long as we use them, they remind us of the maker.” It’s in this spirit that he creates his textile works, like the one featured in the historic 19th-century Dr. Oliver Bronson House in Hudson, New York. The quilt, which depicts a landscape-inspired motif framed by bands of color, was originally made for Commune Design’s shop. It was crafted using a clothing designer’s cast-off hemp linen and dyed to the perfect hues. Pogue begins each work with a general idea and palette but admits he “never has it all figured out” before starting. Instead, he improvises as he goes, laying out the individual elements on the floor, rearranging and re-dyeing as desired. iamadampogue.com; communedesign.com; historichudson.org

HAPPY HANGOUT Step inside The Flat in downtown Westport, Connecticut, and you’ll feel as though you’re walking into the home of a chic friend. That was precisely the goal when Becky Goss opened the doors in 2016. She imagined a place to interact with customers and share stories of the treasures within. “I still believe in local, one-of-a-kind shops where you know the owner,” Goss says. “Stop in, see what’s new, have a conversation and get off your screen!” In the highly curated familial space, not one specific period or style dominates. Because after all, a good room is all about thoughtful layering. “I’m not afraid to take vintage or antique items and reimagine them for the modern home.” Case in point: the one-off mid-19th century Biedermeier Recamier reupholstered in a bold Robert Kime fabric (pictured). theflatwestport.com

Tucked away on windswept Block Island, the contents of Tori Jones Studio reflects the classic New England aesthetic found outside the studio’s walls. “I gravitate toward American antiques,” says Jones, a self-proclaimed magpie who splits time between the Rhode Island enclave and New York. “We’re passionate about antique patchwork quilts, painted furniture, wicker and rope.” A former editor, Jones still taps into her prowess for discovery and storytelling in the elements she curates, stocking ready-made Hobnail Czech glassware and Sabre flatware, as well as showcasing contemporary artists from the Hudson Valley to the UK. For Jones and her customers, there’s nothing like the thrill of originality. “I think the people who shop with us are looking for items with some soul. It’s an Amazon world, but there is an authenticity, timelessness and durability to antiques that can’t be replicated.” torijonesstudio.com

MIAMI VICE Jonathan Sanchez-Obias’ Miami storefront, Primaried Studio is a sleek and minimalist paradise. The rotating portfolio of furnishings, however, are the real scenestealers, hailing largely from the 1960s through ’90s. Pieces like the ’80s black Quebec 69 Spider Chair by Les Amisca (left) and the purple Ribbon Chair by Pierre Paulin for Artifort (right) hold court on the gallery floor with furnishings by contemporary designers like Kouros Maghsoudi and Atelier Caracas for Studio Boheme. Knowledge of the past and a keen eye on the current state of design makes Sanchez-Obias a trusted source for clientele primarily consisting of first-time homeowners and renters looking to invest in their growing furniture collections. “I am always meeting people who are looking to mix vintage pieces with new designs in their homes,” says Sanchez-Obias. primariedstudio.com

SPOTLIGHT MARKET

Pam Evans’ brick-and-mortar store Maison in Birmingham, Alabama, is a nod to French style, from which she is infinitely inspired. “Paris is always a good idea!” swoons Evans. “I love the culture and their chic sense of style, from food and fashion to interiors.” Shabby chic French finds aside, Evans’ offerings span provenance and genre (her M.O. is pairing modern art, like these abstract works on paper by Addison Ryan, with midcentury furniture), but collectively lean towards the neutral, patinaed and oversized. “I tend to buy large pieces, like these wooden Belgian spheres, a midcentury chandelier five feet in diameter, or a pair of nine-foot columns.”

Such unique finds are most often scooped up by designers and architects who look to Evans’ wares for adding character to their spaces; the sort of acquisition the antiques veteran still gets a thrill out of after two decades in the business. maisonshoppe.com

WHEN BOUTIQUE IS BEST At Gemma Parker Design, a boutique team of passionate pros has been working together for many years (some more than a decade)—and the fruits of their collaboration are evident. Though the firm is considered boutique because of its principal Gemma Parker-McKeon’s hands-on approach, its streamlined processes and detailed but efficient methods have garnered GPD a reputation for successfully delivering massive projects. Along the way, two sources prove key influences. “Whenever we are designing, we are looking at spaces holistically, from the exterior landscaping to the natural light to the architecture,” Parker-McKeon says. “Each of those components strongly influences our work, as well as our clients’ inspiring personalities— they are always my muse.”

tarting small, working hard, applying a unique vision and building an outstanding reputation one project at a time is the key to creating an enduring brand. Formed in 2017, Phillip Harrison Interiors has done just that and, today, is one of Chicagoland’s most respected and in-demand interior design firms.

“We started out working from the guest bedroom of my Andersonville apartment,” says founder and lead designer, Mark Schubert. “At the time, we were the new kids on the block who needed to start making a name for ourselves in the Chicago design community.” With that goal front of mind, Schubert and his

talented team took on just about any project they could, from small bathroom renovations to single-room furniture and decor projects. “Finally, in early 2020, we landed our first big break with the Water Street project, where we were tasked with designing an elevated, yet livable home for a young family in downtown Chicago.

Water Street’s success brought us a number of other exciting projects including reimagining an entire Greystone in the heart of Logan Square. Initially divided into two apartments, my team and I worked in close collaboration with the homeowners and their contractors to turn this impressive historic structure into a beautiful, functional and cohesive family home.”

Left Floor-to-ceiling subway tile sets the tone in this classic gray kitchen, which is enlivened by walnut shelving, brass accents, a marble dining table and copious natural light.

Jenni Lauri of Lauri Design Studio transformed a dated primary bath into a Zen-like sanctuary with the help of Wide Corp construction. A Calacatta Viola marble double vanity, fluted-marble backsplash from Il Granito and Apparatus sconces lend movement and texture to the neutral space, which is decorated with a plaster bench, Moroccan runner from Mehraban and vintage figurative artwork (this page and previous).

When the owners of this Los Angeles condo purchased the unit—which is located inside a building from the 1980s—it was showing its age. The couple called on Jenni Lauri of Lauri Design Studio to update the entire residence, including the primary bath. The designer gutted the room and reworked the layout, removing an unwanted tub and opting instead for a large shower with a bold antique brass-and-glass enclosure. A double vanity featuring Calacatta Viola marble is paired with

a fluted-marble backsplash. The remaining wall surfaces are plaster—including the shower, which has a waterproof finish, and the doors of the walnut-lined linen closet. “It feels seamless, and the plaster lends a soft, organic touch,” says Lauri, who rounded out the neutral palette—a continuation of what’s found in the main living spaces—with a Moroccan wool rug, a plaster bench and vintage figurative artwork.

“We tried to combine the couple’s love of a relaxed California look with the concept of

wabi-sabi,” says the designer. “These are busy people who travel often, so the primary suite is meant to be a cozy, Zen-like sanctuary.”

In fact, according to Lauri, this idea of a more subdued, pared-back type of luxury is what many clients are gravitating toward these days.

“The pandemic seems to have changed what people desire,” she continues. “Clients still want luxury, but in a more understated, organic manner, with neutral tones and materials.” lauridesignstudio.com

After living in Southeast Asia for work and falling in love with the region’s wet rooms, the owner of this Mount Hood, Oregon, residence wanted to incorporate the idea into his primary bath. The client tapped StruckSured Interiors’ Samantha Struck, who coincidentally had also lived in Southeast Asia for some time. “We gelled over our experiences there,” Struck says. “The concept of a wet room is that the shower, toilet, tub and sink are all in one waterproof space. We went for a very Japandi aesthetic that feels minimal yet warm and organic.” Struck selected materials and tones that reflect the owner’s love of the outdoors, such as sage-green waterproof plaster, natural-wood accents and copper plumbing. “The plaster has a soap sealant that makes the walls feel like silk,” Struck notes. The result: a beautifully rich product with no maintenance. strucksured.com

DESIGN INSPIRATION When asked where he finds his inspiration, Mariani design principal, Tony LoBello says, “My main source of inspiration is reading the land. What does it tell you? Sometimes it speaks to you and gives you great inspiration of what should be done. Other times, you’ve got to create it. Then there’s the architecture: What kind of home are we working with? Are we contrasting or complementing it? That’s a big one. And of course, what inspires the client?”

Design that makes a powerful and enduring impact is the result of a few basic, but fundamental principles. For the creative experts at Mariani Landscape, those are superior craftsmanship, unparalleled attention to detail and white-glove customer service. “We consistently set the highest standards in the green industry by creating and caring for transcendent spaces that are as unique as the people who live in them,” says chairman, Frank Mariani. Relentless in their pursuit of perfection, Mariani Landscape’s award-winning team takes a client-first approach with every project. “Everything we do is based on our clients’ wants and needs,” Mariani continues.

“Understanding how they live their lives, what’s important to them and what they want from their outdoor spaces is the key to creating environments that energize their senses, meet their expectations and elevate their souls.”

Nestled in textured ambience, a Lincoln Park abode becomes a tranquil haven.

WARM EMBRACE

Interior Design: Emily Millman, Emily Millman Design Home Builder: Patrick Gibbons, Thady Construction, LLC Landscape Architecture: Sean Kelley, Reveal Design, LLC

T

here is a razor-sharp energy to city living, set against a backdrop of traffic noise and towering masses of steel, glass and concrete. For a time, Aim and Sean Duff savored that exhilarating edge from their downtown Chicago condo. But as the years passed, the couple began craving spaces cushioned from the bustle and bluster. “Since we travel a lot, we wanted a home that felt more like a retreat,” Sean explains. “We also didn’t want things to feel so perfect,” Aim adds. “We wanted it to be effortlessly beautiful.”

They found their change of scenery in a Lincoln Park abode a step removed from the city’s busy core. “It was very important for them that the interiors weren’t obviously a Chicago home,” explains designer Emily Millman, who was tasked with cultivating a true urban oasis.

“They wanted to feel shrouded in softness, both physically and visually.”

The residence was still in the early framing stages when the Duffs purchased it, which freed up room for customization. Together with general contractor and developer Patrick Gibbons, Millman focused on softening the original interior plan. Larger windows, skylights and carefully mapped lighting design bathe the dwelling in a soft aura. Square case openings connecting the living room, dining area, kitchen and family room were replaced with a series of archways that frame the main floor’s procession of spaces with graceful curvatures. They also trimmed down the kitchen’s layout by replacing a heavy block of cabinetry with a lounge, turning the pass-through corridor into an intimate alcove for gathering.

An array of earthy, tactile materials further dissolves the interior’s white-box modernity.

“When a home is too minimal and contemporary, it can tend to lean cold,” the designer explains.

“Natural stones and expressive woods bring that touch of nature.” Cue white oak herringbone floors, limestone fireplaces in the living and family rooms, and veined marble slabs lining the bathroom vanities.

Textured finishes also blanket the walls and ceilings, like the earthy Venetian plaster coating the main floor and stairwell. When sunlight pours through, the space feels tucked inside a shell of warmth. The paper-backed wool swaddling the home office’s walls “helps with

160

LUXESOURCE.COM

the sound reverberation, as acoustics became an issue,” Millman notes. And for the couple’s bedroom, a crinkled linen wallcovering “really envelops you in the space,” she adds.

A blur of pale hues threads throughout, creating a softness reflected in the numerous custom furnishings. For these pieces, the designer favored an arched line and softened edge, from plush, sinkable sofas with curved or globular silhouettes to rounded tables that beckon guests to gather closer.

Millman also embraced raw materials, like the solid travertine dining table custom made in Belgium, its surface gently honed so “you can still see all the beautiful crevices and crystals within the stone,” Aim notes. Textiles in turn soothe the eye, with floors covered by high-pile rugs, upholstered furnishings wrapped in velvet and bouclé, and windows dressed with creamy natural linens “that have the most beautiful drape and hand,” Millman says.

Some pieces are deeply ingrained with tactile stories, such as the antique sculptor’s pedestal beneath the stairwell and the family room’s hand-carved wooden bench from the Senufo people of West Africa. Honoring Aim’s heritage, Millman also sourced furniture with roots in Mexican design history, such as the living room’s leather-slung butaque chairs—an iconic piece by midcentury Mexico-based designer Clara Porset. Other cultural nods include custom art

by American artist Monica Curiel, who carves her childhood memories of Mexico into sensorial plaster works. This tangible poignancy runs throughout the couple’s entire art collection, with artists like Josh Young, Kit King, Malene Knudsen and Lauren Beck exploring abstract monochromatic textures to eloquent effect.

Turning to the outdoors, the couple wanted their garden spaces to feel “like an extension of the house with the same muted colors,” Sean says.

So, landscape architect Sean Kelley reinterpreted the interior’s subdued style with “a very simple palette of white and natural ipe,” he explains.

“That way the plants speak for themselves.”

A peaceful, hushed spirit now underscores the couple’s daily rhythms in Chicago. They perhaps feel it most during their early morning coffee ritual together, the clamor of the city seemingly far away within the cocooned walls of their new abode. “It’s so cozy and quiet,” Aim reflects.

“It makes us pause for a moment and realize how beautiful our home is.”

esigners find clients in many ways, but Kate Marker might have one of the more unusual stories. Twelve years ago, she needed an emergency chiropractic appointment and received a referral from a mutual friend. “He saved the day for me,” Marker says of her now client, who came to her home on an early Sunday morning to ease her pain. “We became friends, and I met his wife soon after. She’s just the most wonderful person.”

A few years later, the friendship evolved into business when the couple called upon Marker for her design expertise on their starter home for their growing family and miniature Australian labradoodle, Annie Peach. Eventually though, the couple and their children outgrew that first dwelling and needed more space. “We wanted a house with more property and something we could renovate to make our own,” the wife says.

They knew they found the one when they saw this two-story 1960s Colonial-inspired abode surrounded by towering oak trees in Barrington Hills. But it was far from move-in ready in terms of aesthetic, functionality and overall layout. So, the owners called on what they refer to as their “dream team,” composed of Marker, architect Tom Donahue and builder Matt Warman.

The team turned their eyes first to changing the layout and ceilings. “It was very compartmentalized,” Donahue notes. “And the 8-foot ceilings made it feel closed. We wanted to bring in light, create more of an open floor plan and vault the ceilings where we could.” The whole footprint of the home was reimagined; the primary suite was swapped with a guest room, and the kitchen and laundry room were relocated entirely. Ceilings were raised by 4 feet in the breakfast nook, guest rooms and primary suite to allow for maximum light, and walls were torn down to foster a more natural flow.

In another major move, the team shifted the front door and added a glass vestibule to create a focal point at the entrance. “Rather than walking in and looking at a staircase, which was the

174

previous layout, we created a seamless procession through the house with views all the way to the backyard,” Donahue explains. The space also provides a moment for pause with its thoughtful mix of materials. “It has so much natural light,” the husband muses. “I love how Kate used heated limestone tile and vertical wood.”

The layered atmosphere found in the foyer is a theme that continues throughout the home.

“Kate likes to work with a neutral palette,” Donahue notes. “She’s very good at creating interest with texture.” See the family room with its slipcovered seating, faux-raffia coffee table and stone side table. Or the primary suite, where pine beams mingle with a rope light fixture and sea-grass-wrapped bed.

For the color scheme, Marker underscored the neutral palette she’s known for with terra-cotta accents and an unexpected moss green in the mud and laundry rooms. Blond woods and organicinspired wallcoverings offset the rich hues.

“I was thinking ‘Barrington country,’ ” she says.

“We wanted to bring the outdoors in, make every space have meaning, and have it be the right fit for their family: livable, attainable and full of texture, with a modern country feel.”

Perhaps there’s no better example of that than the bright and airy breakfast nook, where a cozy banquette and swivel chairs allow for gathering in front of the fireplace during chilly Chicago winters. Summers are just as enjoyable in the space thanks to French doors and a plethora of windows that drench the room in natural light while providing sweeping views of the backyard.

“We wanted a place where we could bring people together,” the wife says. “We have so much space in our kitchen that we can all gather to start and end our days.”

Though Marker was given free rein on the design, there was continual dialogue with the couple, which is what made it a success. “We designed a space that reflects their personalities,” Marker says. Her clients couldn’t agree more.

“I love the transformation of each room,” the wife adds. “We are head over heels in love with this house and so thankful to call it home.”

Jaclyn Mednicov’s artwork reflects the fragility of nature and life.

here was a time when Lakeview-based artist Jaclyn Mednicov solely painted figurative scenes of nature from a polite distance. But as her work evolved, those wild grasses, weeds and flowers that were once simply subjects joined her arsenal of materials, becoming an intrinsic part of her composition process.

Mednicov’s expansive “Skin” series, which she considers equal parts sculpture and painting, is a prime example. To embark, she presses plants into a slab of soft clay, then proceeds to make an intricate series of negative and positive molds using plaster, silicone and acrylic paint.

Some are left as is, others are airbrushed with layers of pigment. The resulting pieces are like botanical relief maps that capture all the subtle textures and details of the stems, leaves, blossoms and pods Mednicov has collected.

The artist forages in her backyard as well as at urban lots and local garden centers.

She’s partial to those plants that tend to be overlooked, like grasses pushing up between pavement cracks and weeds, the tireless underdogs of the garden. And while she often works with specimens at their peak, Mednicov is also drawn to those that are almost (but not quite) past their prime. “There is such beauty in a flower just before it wilts—and what that conveys about the passage of time, memory and the stages of life,” she shares.

Of late, Mednicov has been experimenting with botanical monoprints. She first rolls oil paint or acrylic onto a sheet of Mylar, then arranges her cuttings on top and covers them with muslin or a permeable paper, such as Japanese washi, and presses down. “When I peel the surface material off, there is this delicious moment of surprise at the reveal,” Mednicov says. The resulting prints are at once shimmering and ghostly—like the image that remains after shutting your eyes tightly in a brightly sunlit garden.

A fearless experimenter, the artist’s foray into ceramics at a recent residency in the Netherlands has resulted in vessels that bear the fossil-like imprints of local flora. Whatever her medium (including a series of abstracted botanical wallpapers), Mednicov’s art reflects the temporality of life, with a quiet imperative to gather your rosebuds while you have the chance.

For her, nature is a lens for considering time, transitions and, as she notes, “all the different stages of beauty—including decay.”

Jaclyn Mednicov’s botanical works, such as Dawn from her “Skin” series (bottom, right) and an in-progress monoprint (bottom, left) reflect upon the stages of life and the passage of time. Her recent foray into wallpaper (below) continues the theme.

arely does a renovation project commence with something as delightfully convivial as a dinner party, but the owners of this Chicago abode orchestrated a food- and wine-fueled mixer for the members of their design team, some of whom had never met. “We thought it would be a nice gesture to break the ice while breaking bread,” the husband explains.

The gathering turned out to be the first of many inspired and synergistic moments for the crew.

“That night, everybody understood the desire for a thoughtful, beautiful design,” architect Tom Hagerty says. “Right out of the gate, we knew they wanted something really special.”

For the family of five, the project represented a new chapter in an ever-evolving story. The house had been extensively remodeled in 2016 by the owner and his first wife. Fast forward a few years, the owner had remarried, and a new baby was on the way. His two sons had grown, and the entire family required a bigger footprint.

When a neighbor offered to sell him the adjacent property, he seized the opportunity, even though the timing was far from perfect. “We had just finished a massive gut renovation,” he says, noting that years spent in the remodeling trenches did have an upside. “We had collected artisans and tradespeople from prior projects that we trusted, so we knew exactly who to call.”

Those industry pros included interior designer Anthony Michael and general contractor David Haegeland, who both worked on the earlier iteration of the residence. New to the mix were Hagerty and architect Kevin Toukoumidis, who were brought on for an addition that required innovation and near-surgical precision. “The complexity came because we were removing one of the four exterior load-bearing walls and then doubling the size of the house,” Hagerty explains.

“That amount of change to a building is never easy, but to do it in a way that feels like it was always there was very challenging.”

Knitting the addition, which includes a library, lounge, primary suite and lower-level entertaining spaces, to the original structure

called for a unifying exterior. The formerly redbrick townhome now wears limestone cladding cut to resemble slender Roman bricks. Art Deco-inspired metalwork articulates the entry, bejeweling the streamlined façade like an elegant brooch. Numerous patios, an outsize roof deck, and gardens featuring birch and katsura trees, shaped by landscape architect Carrie WolebenMeade, further tie the home to its urban setting.

Inspired by the abode’s more modern envelope, Michael says he took a “warm, decorative approach to enhance and complement the architecture.”

That meant employing a kaleidoscope of jewel tones and luxuriously textured wallcoverings to bring his own maximalist flair to the project.

Seating covered in velvet, chenille, mohair and leather creates a through line of coziness. Nods to the Art Deco exterior are also found throughout: A vintage table of the era welcomes upon arrival, leather-upholstered stools in the style pull up to the breakfast bar, and custom metalwork on the primary bedroom doors recall the period once again. Bold choices—such as wrapping the family room in a graphic wallpaper and topping it off with a fresh lick of teal ceiling paint—make for an enticing what’s-around-that-corner feel.

Because the owners are ardent hosts, entertaining spaces both inside and out took top billing. The lower level boasts a full bar, lounge, and the dwelling’s most ingenious feature: an underground cylindrical wine cellar with a retractable glass ceiling. “The experience of descending into the wine tunnel is something straight out of a James Bond movie,” Toukoumidis says. Requested by the clients, “it was one of the things on this project that inspired us as architects to dream big,” he adds. It is also an engineering feat that took months to execute.

That the team exhibited a level of tenacity rivaling the homeowners’ own can-do mindset proved it was a match made in design heaven.

“At the end of the day, it was about the client and the challenge and the beauty of the house, and that inspired all of us,” Toukoumidis says. “This place provided us the freedom to dream, and that initial dinner when we all first met set the tone for the synergy and collaboration to make those dreams a reality.”

In the family room, a Romo wallcovering offers a graphic backdrop to a Vermeer-inspired image and prints of garden layouts from Hindman. A Garrett Leather-upholstered ottoman by Cisneros Custom Furniture rests under an RH coffee table. Above is a Currey & Company light fixture.

AMY CARMAN DESIGN 414.202.6197 | amycarman.com |

In the design world, one of the most iconic and innovative things a person can do is create something unequivocally unique. Just ask Amy Carman.

Together with her award-winning team of eight talented women, the designer recently commissioned a local glass artist to produce a custom eglomise mirror panel for the front of a cocktail bar. “Their silvering process requires baking a full-size sheet of glass in a kiln to slump it, and our bar panel was the largest single panel they’ve ever created,” Carman shares. “After breaking twice, it finally made it through the process.” It added major wow factor to the finished project, and that is a favorite part of the job for Carman. “The variety we are seeing as clients embrace the freedom to tailor their home to uniquely suit their lifestyles and personalities is exciting,” she says. “They are rethinking the importance of home, and customization is a priority.”

Top An elegant serpentine sofa by Vladimir Kagan is paired with a McGuire table, exquisitely-embroidered pillows and a velvety custom rug by Stark.

In discussing some key milestones in her firm’s history, Carman enthuses about a beloved event.

“Each year, in the ballroom above our studio, we host a creative lecture series. It features some of our favorite regional and national artists, designers and architects, and it draws up to two hundred attendees. It has been a wonderful way to bring our community together around the topics and people that inspire us most.”

SOCIAL EXPERIENCE Everyone seems to be saying video is the future of social media, and Carman agrees.

“It is a great way to engage our audience and tell a more in-depth story. Photography does remain a cornerstone of our portfolio, but video gives our followers a chance to really experience how it feels to move through the spaces we’ve created.”

It is often the case that individuals who are considered models of their profession are enveloped in it from all sides. Such is true for Leah Bolger, who, in addition to being the principal of her namesake design firm, was a tenured college instructor and department chair at the distinguished Harrington College of Design. Each of these pursuits tends to inform the other. “Careerchange adults enrolled in my classes, and they provided rich interactions,” Bolger shares. “Often, the professor became the student, which served as endless inspiration.” She also finds inspiration from the 20th-century visionaries who capitalized on new technologies and materials to create many cutting-edge design approaches and innovations.

Eero Saarinen’s Tulip table from 1955 and Arne Jacobsen’s EggTM chair are wonderful examples of innovations, from nearly 70 years ago, that are still relevant and celebrated today.

AN INNOVATIVE IDEA “I consider the evolution of The Tannery Row to be my greatest success,” Culliton says.

“When I presented this concept to Horween in 2011, we had no idea what it would become.

Over the past dozen years, we’ve worked closely with our clients to cultivate new lines of leather that allow them to turn their visions into realities. It’s so rewarding to see these fledgling design ideas transform into full-blown companies.”

A LEGACY IN LEATHER

THE TANNERY ROW 312.291.9994 | thetanneryrow.com |

When asked about leather’s enduring quality and the legacy of his firm, John Culliton explains, “While there are always new and improved ways to produce leather, which we certainly incorporate into our work, this material is not about a trend. Leather has a beautiful longevity that enhances the quality of any project. When I walk into a client’s home, office, restaurant or hotel lobby and see our leather, it makes me very proud to know that it will be there for decades to come.”

thetanneryrow

When iconic craft meets innovative ideas, great products are born. As the founder of The Tannery Row, John Culliton brings the exceptional quality and workmanship of the finest leather producers to small businesses and artisans. “Leather runs in my family,” Culliton says. “My father worked at the Horween Leather Company and I grew up in the business. After starting my career at a hide trading company in Philadelphia, I got the call to join Horween. Working for a company and a family I care deeply about in my hometown was a no-brainer.” While there, Culliton spied an opportunity that blossomed into a brand. “Obtaining high-quality leather from world-class tanneries in small quantities was a challenge, so in 2011 I launched The Tannery Row to tackle this,” he shares.

“Today, we connect our creative clientele with the best American and European tanneries, and the results are truly stunning.”

Not an intellectual exercise, not a strong package of perfectly aligned geometries—rather a soft voice where nature is welcomed as the art, where open spaces invite interaction and flexibility, where sunlight and shadows are ornamentation.
