LETTER EDITOR’S

One of the great pleasures of editing this publication is being habitually exposed to design from across the country—an endless array of styles, influences, penchants and the like. In any given week, I review some three dozen homes from more than 15 cities.

It’s an abundance to see, and to weigh in on. The weekly parade of living rooms and gardens, kitchens and closets, laundry rooms and bedrooms gives me a wonderful perch from which to view American design. If you asked what I’ve observed lately, I would say it’s exuberance. I’ve spotted elation expressed subtlety with tone-on-tone interiors, and conversely, seen it pronounced with heaps of whimsy and sparkle in vibrant wallpapers, glossy walls and astonishing lighting. What these homes, and the people living in them, are conveying is their taste and joyfulness. Aren’t we all fortunate to delight in the mix?

LAUNCH MATTHEW FISHER

New York designer Matthew Fisher drew from a fascination with Greek mythology to create Ariadne, his second decor collection and first to integrate cotton into carved stonework. As the myth goes, Cretan princess Ariadne fell in love with Theseus and, using her infamous glimmering thread, helped him escape the labyrinth after he’d slain its Minotaur. Befittingly, Fisher’s 16-object line comprises one-of-akind amorphous vessels, bowls and lanterns embellished with natural rope and made of stone sourced from quarries around the world. “It took a great deal of experimentation to understand how I could coil and knot cord to create malleable pieces that would contribute to the forms in the collection,” says Fisher.

“I’m particularly moved by two vessels’ cotton-rope handles that go beyond their formal function to conjure the silhouette of the Minotaur’s horns.” mfisher.com

TALKING SHOP For Audrey Gelman’s next act after founding women's workspace company The Wing, she’s turned her attention to a decidedly smaller-scale project: The Six Bells, her new country homewares store in Cobble Hill.

Obsessed with British mysteries, she even created a backstory in the fictional village of Barrow’s Green to situate The Six Bells, complete with a town map and character biographies that can be explored on the boutique’s website. In the quite real brick-and-mortar shop, interior design firm Roarke Design Studio brought Gelman’s vision to life with buttery yellow walls painted Farrow and Ball’s Cane, gingham curtains, framed quilts and painted wooden chests. “Think of it as entering a cozy mystery and being able to shop from your favorite character’s home,” explains Gelman. Among the store’s thoughtfully sourced items, head of merchandising Marie Joh shares that her favorites include original Gee’s Bend quilts handcrafted by a women's collective in Alabama, Straw London baskets and Noemie Sérieux hemp soy candles. thesixbells.com

MEET THE MAKER JENNA KRYPELL

Fresh off a recent collaboration with rug company Art + Loom and a Paris show at Galerie Zberro, Jenna Krypell’s mindbending, multimedia wall sculptures are inspired by the shapes, colors, nature and music she encounters every day.

The Brooklyn-based artist sat with Luxe to talk textiles, collaboration and optical illusion. jennakrypell.com Tell us about your creative process with Art + Loom.

I knew nothing about making high-quality rugs. Their founder, Samantha Gallacher, guided me through the process. I came up with the design, she with the technique— and voila! Now we have beautiful works of art.

What drew you to graphic patterns and optical illusion?

I want people to see more than what’s in front of them and I love to hear what my art reminds them of or what a form evokes. Optical illusion pushes our senses and forces us to see different perspectives.

Your work mixes paint, resin, sometimes even mirror, among other materials. Why multimedia sculpture?

I was never interested in square or rectangle canvases— it felt too easy. My goal was to make something unique.

When Virgil Abloh passed away last November, a void was immediately felt in fashion, music, architecture and design. As menswear artistic director at Louis Vuitton, he was the first Black person to hold this role for the luxury brand, while also running Off-White, his label that propelled streetwear into the mainstream. From July 1 through January 29, the Brooklyn Museum will honor the late designer with Virgil Abloh: “Figures of Speech,” an exhibition featuring never-before-seen pieces from Abloh’s archive and tracing two decades of his visionary, interdisciplinary work, from garments to runway videos and objects from his collaborations with artist Takashi Murakami and architect Rem Koolhaas, to name a few. “We’ve had a single goal,” says museum director Anne Pasternak. “To celebrate his explosive talent and the ways he kicked open doors for young BIPOC artists.” brooklynmuseum.org

SHELF LIFE

YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE - ALBERS FOUNDATION The title for You Can Go Anywhere, the new book marking The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation’s 50th anniversary, came from a saying that Anni repeated often. “She meant that one could always go in unexpected directions, in life as in weaving,” says Nicholas Fox Weber, the foundation’s director. Indeed, while her husband Josef may have more name recognition for his contributions to 20th-century modernism and abstract art, Anni was a textile artist in her own right.

Based in Bethany, Connecticut, the foundation looks after the Albers’ estate and supports exhibitions, research, educational programs and artist residencies. The tome is a true collector’s item, filled with photos, artwork, archival materials and essays from past foundation contributors— such as architects Manuel Herz and Toshiko Mori and designers Paul Smith and Christopher Farr. albersfoundation.org

Noon We take a quick jaunt two buildings over to RBW’s workroom to explore their latest lighting designs and material finishes. It’s exciting to see their production process firsthand.

12:30 p.m. On the way back, we meet a client at vintage curator CityFoundry to have them try a 1960s chair, then we browse through their inventory refresh.

AN EYE-CATCHING LINE OF WALLCOVERINGS AND TEXTILES CHAMPIONS THE SPIRIT AND TRADITIONS OF LOUISIANA. W R I T T E N B Y K E L LY V E LO C C I J O L L I F F E

For over six decades, artist Francis X. Pavy has been keenly observing his South Louisiana surroundings.

The region’s unique landscape and rich Cajun culture have been driving forces behind the narrative—and iconography—of his vibrant paintings. “I’m intrigued by the complexity of life here,” says Pavy, who’s been working out of his suburban Lafayette studio for 40 years. “It has depth and meaning; there is a story to be told.”

Now, Pavy is drawing on imagery from his vast body of artwork for a debut line of textiles and wallcoverings. Take

Marshgrass, a block print featuring small vertical lines rising from a horizontal base. He first noticed the symbol, which is used to designate marshland on a map, in a geologist’s office as a child. “I didn’t consciously say, ‘I need to remember this,’ but it became a part of an inner visual vocabulary that I filed away in my brain.” Then there is Briars, a creeping branch-like design inspired by thorny plants of the same name. As a teenager, Pavy watched as the sun illuminated a cluster growing in an empty field.

“Sometimes, imagery makes a burning impression in my memory,” he says.

“Or it comes back to me in a flash.”

The artist, who teamed up with his wife to bring the line to fruition, is also using this opportunity to develop new

motifs, one of which portrays coastal Louisiana’s delicate ecosystem. In Stormy Waters, Pavy depicts “flora and fauna overcome by storm water.” They adorn the fabric alongside iconography of a man with his dog and a small telephone pole symbolizing “the edge of civilization.” This narrative is inspired by the state’s historic flood, in 2016, and devastation the artist witnessed firsthand. “I’m interpreting what I see in Louisiana,” he explains. “We have our own identity in food, speech and music.

So why shouldn’t we have our own unique identity in art?” shop.pavy.com

LEADING MAKERS IN THE DESIGN WORLD DISCUSS THE IMPORTANCE OF ART AND CRAFT SCHOOLS, AND WHY NOW MAY BE THE TIME TO ENROLL. W R I T T E N BY M A I L E P I N G E L

Over the past several years, many people have spent time getting in touch with their creative side. As a result, an exploration, and revival, of craft—think pottery, woodworking and painting—has led to a renewed interest in arts educational programs. Several highly acclaimed schools across the country offer dynamic workshops and degrees, allowing students to spend years honing in on a specialized area of study or simply attend classes to become better

acquainted with a new interest. Who better to weigh in on the merits of a formal education than three celebrated alums: glass artist Dale Chihuly on Haystack Mountain School of Crafts; industrial designer Jay Sae Jung Oh on Cranbrook Academy of Art; and glass artist and painter Corey Pemberton on Penland School of Craft. Their success stories not only bolster the legacies of these unique institutions but serve as inspiration for the next generation of makers.

For Oh, Cranbrook’s broad-thinking approach lured her from Seoul to the Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, campus. “Their industrial design program lets you focus on your interests,” she explains. “The historical buildings, the environment—students from other majors like architecture, engineering, even anthropology—was fascinating to me.”

This influx of varying viewpoints intensified her creativity, and she quickly garnered the attention of design pioneer Gaetano Pesce, who offered her an internship and job opportunity after graduation. While now focused on her successful eponymous firm, Oh finds guest-lecturing at her alma mater a symbiotic relationship. “I like the engagement,” she says. “I get to see what students are interested in, and who they think the rock stars of design are today.”

While studying graphic design at Virginia Commonwealth University, Los Angelesbased Pemberton developed an interest in glassmaking that led him to a summer

program at Penland in North Carolina.

“My hand skills improved so much that the instructor offered me a job,” he recalls.

Pemberton went on to assistantships and residencies, returning to Penland for a coveted two-year fellowship where he augmented glassmaking with painting and other artforms. Today, Pemberton continues to remain busy, dividing his time between glassmaking and painting practices; an upcoming teaching stint at Haystack this summer; and serving as Director of Crafting the Future, a program creating more equitable opportunities for BIPOC students interested in the arts. “Craft schools are immersive and less formal than the collegiate route,” he says. “I’m a huge advocate [of them] and know how much you can learn.”

Regarded as one of the founding fathers of contemporary American craft, Chihuly studied glass making at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Upon graduating, he enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Design where he received an MFA and taught for many years. Throughout his tenure, Chihuly spent summers teaching at Haystack in Deer Isle, Maine, during which time he realized “artists teaching artists is vital to helping students find their own path.” Founded in 1950, the school was considered experimental because it had no permanent faculty, nor did it offer degrees.

Remaining true to its roots, Haystack’s workshops and residencies are still taught by visiting faculty and remain sought-after programs today. Chihuly credits Haystack with influencing him to cofound Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle, and, while no longer teaching, he continues to encourage “students to surround themselves with other artists. Watch how they live, not just how they work.”

UKRAINE’S GUNIA PROJECT SHINES A LIGHT ON THE COUNTRY’S LONG-STANDING CRAFT TRADITION. W R I T T E N BY M I C H E L L E B R U N N E R

In folk art, every brush stroke and every stitch tells a story, and when those crafts are lost to time, so too is a piece of history.

It’s a reality that Natasha Kamenska and Maria Gavryliuk, founders of the Gunia Project, know all too well. “Handmade items have always been at the heart of Ukrainian life, yet few people pass on the beauty of this national culture to their children,” says Gavryliuk.

In 2017, while volunteering at the Ivan Honchar Museum’s National Centre of Folk Culture in Kyiv, both women began to wonder why younger generations had forgotten folk crafts integral to their heritage. It sparked an idea: Form a collective of artists dedicated to producing Ukrainian crafts for a new audience using the traditional, timeworn skills of their ancestors.

LUXESOURCE.COM

Ceramic plates available through Ukraine’s Gunia Project depict religious and folk motifs from the country’s rich artistic history.

The duo embarked on a quest to find artisans, traveling throughout Ukrainian villages to seek out craftspeople by word of mouth. At a market in the town of Yavoriv, they encountered a gunya, a handmade sheep’s wool coat that serves as a talisman-like garment used during major life events. Finding inspiration in the object, they christened the company Gunia Project in 2019.

Handmade items sold through the collective include fiber arts, glass and jewelry, in addition to a large inventory of painted ceramics featuring playful takes on folk-art motifs and religious themes.

Many of the pieces sport images of saints and angels that loom large in Ukrainian faith and lore (their ceramic production

began with a single artist who happened to be trained as an icon painter). While the artistic sensibility of these pieces feels modern and fresh, the subject matter is timeless and deeply ingrained in the national identity.

For Gavryliuk and Kamenska, preserving Ukrainian culture for future generations has acquired even more significance as of late. “With the war at our doors, we know that our culture needs to be preserved and cherished,” says Gavryliuk. “Art is so closely intertwined with history that destroying folk crafts destroys our cultural heritage, and the country as a whole,” adds Kamenska. guniaproject.com, thenopo.com

Find & Seek TODD NICKEY, THE DESIGNER AND PROPRIETOR BEHIND LOS ANGELES’ NICKEY KEHOE, DISHES ON THE THRILL—AND IMPORTANCE—OF THE HUNT.

Todd Nickey and Amy Kehoe seek out beautiful pieces for design projects as well as their Los Angeles shop from flea markets, antique fairs and the like. Shown here is one such find: a vintage carved-wood entry door.

LUXESOURCE.COM

My partner Amy Kehoe and I have built our lives around being out in the world— at craft fairs, art shows, antique fairs and even flea markets—unearthing sources of inspiration. Although I enjoy searching for things online, it’s important for us to touch and feel objects. There’s only so much you can see about patina, texture and scale on a screen!

We met a young woman, just out of art school, at a craft show a few years ago, and she was making beautiful sculptures and serveware from wood. I don’t want to sound too ‘woo-woo,’ but when she invited us to pick up her work, I could feel the energy she put into making it. The way she sands her pieces gives them a unique surface, something that’s impossible to manufacture. It’s exhilarating to meet people who are passionate about creating and making.

Hunting and shopping in person is also where kismet happens. At times, I almost feel like a water witch with a divining rod because something just draws me to a piece—I find what I love by clearing my mind and exploring. I recently discovered a forged-iron company that makes the most extraordinary pieces and when I first saw them, I got jelly belly for a few minutes because it was such a thrill.

This is an era where appreciation for art and craft is growing, and we are embracing it on all levels, from crude to posh and fancy. The importance of handmade goods can’t be overstated—it’s fundamental; it’s everything. nickeykehoe.com

Common Threads KYLE BUNTING RETURNS TO HIS ROOTS WITH AN AMERICANA-INSPIRED COLLECTION. For hide rug designer Kyle Bunting, family has always been at the core of his work. Take, for example, the Austinbased creatives lauded range of rugs, wall coverings and home accessories, which incorporate methods passed down from his father Jim, who owned a hide art and furniture company. Bunting’s inventive take on these techniques ultimately led to his eponymous empire of beautiful yet functional décor objects for the home. Now, more than two decades since getting his start, Bunting’s work is once again being shaped by those near and dear.

This time around, Bunting looked to his mother, Peggy, and her longstanding passion for quilting as inspiration for his latest collection, Stateside. Playing off the striking patterns and graphic geometry of these traditional American textiles, the colorful new rug designs fuse the handiwork of both parents—all with Bunting’s signature spin. Each floor covering is created from pieced-together scraps, culled from repurposed hide cuttings and excess material collected during production.

What’s more, the collaboration also presents an opportunity to spotlight an unsung artform. Women like Peggy, and her family, have looked to quilting as a means of expression, love and practicality for centuries. “One of my most prized quilts was my grandmother’s,” she explains. “This handmade heirloom was crafted 65 years ago, and it’s evident that each stitch was painstakingly, and thoughtfully, made.”

It is the Buntings’ hope that these modern interpretations may also become treasured keepsakes and serve as timeless reminders of the historical fabric that connects families from one generation to the next. kylebunting.com

“For Lutron, light is energy; light is mood; light is a narrator of time.”

SYMPHONY OF LIGHT When Lutron’s innovative designs are involved, the home is more than just illuminated; it’s reinvented.

•T unable lamps and luminaires restore the romance of candlelight and synchronize with the sun to dissolve the boundary between natural and built environments.

•W hisper-quiet, automatic shades act as a natural extension to the light control system, balancing access to sunlight with sanctuary from it.

•E very system is custom-designed and integrated by an expert to reflect the habits, preferences and personality of the end user, ensuring that whole-home control is more than intuitive—it’s second nature.

WORK WITH NATURE Among Lutron’s top tips is to design with the light, not against it. “Think of moonlight, sunrise, light-filtered green through trees, late-night embers in a dying fire— each moment is a canvas, and light is what soaks that canvas with color and feeling,” the team says. “Blend indoor and outdoor lighting with intention to match your mood and cultivate well-being.”

Top Dynamic lighting, automated shades and a sophisticated control system operate in concert to synchronize the color and intensity of interior lighting with the sun, dissolving the boundary between the natural and built environments.

WINNING STREAK

LUXESOURCE.COM

When interior designer Summer Thornton’s Dallas client asked for a marble primary bath, she took the request to heart, sheathing the space in not one, but three different types: Arabescato Corchia in large-format slabs; Grey Lilac on the sink vanities; and Calacatta Viola for the makeup vanity, casings and windowsills.

“It was quite the puzzle to install, but the nuance adds depth and interest,” says the Chicago-based designer. “The accent marbles are powerful, without being jarring. We were drawn to both the lilac shade as well as the Calacatta Viola’s plum tones.” All three stones also make an appearance on the floor, where they are carefully laid out in a “Mondrian-esque

pattern” in conjunction with strategically placed textured metallic tiles. The latter, along with a polished-nickel soaking tub and an antique wall mirror, bring additional light into the space.

“There’s only one window, so these reflective surfaces bounce light around the room, making it feel twice as large,” notes Thornton.

The metallic fittings and accents were also chosen to help add warmth, which is important in all-stone baths that can sometimes come across as cold. To further encourage an inviting atmosphere, Thornton selected cerused-oak wooden cabinetry and a tactile wicker vanity chair to complete the stunning scheme. summerthorntondesign.com

For the primary bath of a landmarked Tudor residence in Dallas, designer Summer Thornton employed three different types of marble to achieve its dynamic appearance. Hammered German Silver tiles from Paris Ceramics offset marble flooring. The space is outfitted with a polished-nickel tub from Catchpole & Rye, fittings from Waterworks, Murano-glass vanity scones from Jean-Marc Fray and a Vaughan ceiling fixture.

MOODY MOMENT STUDIO LIFE/STYLE

Shannon Wollack and Brittany Zwickl, the duo behind West Hollywood firm Studio Life/Style, approached this Los Angeles powder room with a sophisticated-yet-daring eye. “We knew early on that we wanted to use a stone with lots of movement and color for the custom vanity,” says Zwickl. The designers landed on Calacatta Viola marble, which features burgundy veining that pairs perfectly with a deep green plaster finish on the walls. Below, Zwickl dives into more detail. studio-lifestyle.com What was the inspiration behind the design?

A powder room presents the perfect place to have a little fun! We were trying to create something moody with a touch of drama, and a dark color paired with striking stone always works well in small spaces.

Tell us about the wall treatment?

A contrasting wall color can help bring out the stone’s natural tones. Here, we chose Portola Paints & Glazes’ Roman Clay in the Lone Park shade, which adds extra depth to the room and plays with the reflection of light. Lindsey Adelman scones and a Gio Ponti−style mirror complete the look.

Is the rest of the home this bold? This is one of the darkest rooms in the house, so it’s a bit of a departure. We like when the powder room serves as a little surprise for guests as they experience the home.

STRIKING STONEWORK DESERVES A SMART GROUP OF SUPPORTING CHARACTERS, AND THESE NEW BATH PRODUCTS FIT THE BILL.

TURNING HEADS

Every jewel box needs some shimmer, and Kohler’s recently debuted Statement shower collection offers just the right amount of bling. The line contains four hand showers, two body sprays, four rain heads and an oval showerhead (shown in Vibrant Brushed Moderne Brass).

The oval head—which is available in both 10-inch and 12-inch lengths—is designed to deliver a robust stream of water that simulates a soaking summer storm.

Additional finishes include Polished Chrome, Vibrant Brushed Nickel and Matte Black. kohler.com

SUPER SOAKER

Drummonds tapped industrial designer Marc Newson to envision a collection of bath products that marries the company’s classic aesthetic with his penchant for sinuous shapes and sleek lines. Items range from shower controls to taps and mixers, but the star of the show is the Coln bathtub, which features elegant contours made from composite marble with customizable metal feet. drummonds-uk.com

CLEAN & CLEAR

Subtle details such as an arched ribbon spout and transparent lever handles give Brizo’s new Allaria Widespread Lavatory a cool, modern twist.

Shown in Brilliance Luxe Gold/Clear, the streamlined faucet is available in seven additional finishes, along with the option of a square spout with knob or twist-lever handles. To complement this faucet, the collection includes tub fillers, shower components and coordinating hardware that is sure to deliver a sense of polish and effortless style to any bath. brizo.com

Statement slabs are one of the most effective ways to transform a space. Therefore, when the owners of this Boise, Idaho, residence called upon designer Jordan Yankovich of KovichCo Interiors to revamp their primary bath, she doubled down on green-hued Scala marble. “This stone has so much personality, with large green pools that the clients loved,” says Yankovich. “Real stone always feels new and fresh because you’re constantly discovering different patterns in the veining.”

Maximizing natural light was important to the scheme, so the designer added a see-through gas fireplace which allows daylight to flow between the bath and bedroom. Copper, nickel, steel, bluestone and oak complement the marble and round out the room’s palette.

“The client is a mining engineer, so these finishes are a nod to his profession,” notes Yankovich. “The materials are fancy, but they are used in a way that feels timeless and approachable.” kovichco.com

In the corner, a seethrough gas fireplace from European Home provides views into the bedroom and out to the river beyond.

In a nostalgic flourish, an antique secretary offers guests a place to sit and tend to written correspondence.

Limestone pavers flow through the entry (left), bathroom (below) and living-dining space (opposite), creating a timeless thread that welcomes sandy feet and muck boots alike.

EASY ELEGANCE

For designer Elizabeth Lawrence, a ground-up guest residence in Southampton provided a unique opportunity to bridge the old with the new. Building upon Georgian-influenced architecture by Michael Dwyer (largely inspired

by Frances Elkins’ interiors), and led by her client’s appreciation for antiques, Lawrence began layering palette and pattern to imbue a sense of calm, collected sophistication to

the dwelling, which serves as a year-round getaway. The result reads “a bit like an English country home, but with a Southampton twist,” notes Lawrence. She kept the ethos of-a-place with choice details like subtly coastal paint colors custom-crafted by Donald Kaufman throughout, and a bespoke entry mural by Artgroove depicting the seaside town.

“The mix of casual living in a formal setting is what makes this project so interesting,” muses the designer, pointing to the breezy spirit of the open-concept living-dining room—a pleasing contrast to the grand

architectural detailing. A similar dichotomy can be found in the surprising throughlines that lace together collections of wooden antiques, sumptuous, high-pile carpets and historically reverent textiles. Modern artworks and contemporary lighting are hallmarks of the design, and Lawrence’s artful placements— like an enormous Noguchi lantern above the dining table—typify the “Southampton twist” she endeavored to achieve at the outset.

“At night, when that’s the only thing lit,” she notes, “it almost looks like the moon is hanging there.” bunnywilliams.com

WORLDS AWAY

When a couple’s search for a larger primary residence came up short, they abandoned the idea and turned to landscape architect John Howard to reconceive their existing Buckhead, Georgia, backyard instead.

Crowning the greenspace, a potting shed designed by architect William B. Litchfield (an homage to Bunny Mellon’s folly at Oak Spring Farm), underscores the bucolic manner of the newly appointed oasis. Trellising strung with Madison jasmine and climbing roses “serves

as a transitional, unifying moment between the terraced lawn and surrounding woodlands,” notes Howard. In collaboration with Litchfield and interior designer Liza Bryan, he specified bluestone pavers, barnwood paneling and a soapstone sink for flower arranging. Happily, the clients purport to using the shed as a bar and serving area when entertaining, too, treating friends and family to all the charms of a pastoral soiree—from the convenience of Atlanta proper. howarddesignstudio.com

URBAN RESPITE

“We wanted to create a country house in the city,” shares Sara Gilbane of her clients’ Manhattan residence. Taking cues from a prolific collection of antiques and artworks, the designer set about capturing the spirit of the family’s ancestral Pennsylvania farmhouse in their newly purchased downtown apartment, which she transformed from austere white box to characterful flat alongside architect Gerard Beekman. Take the guest room, where, enveloped by a painterly Lewis & Wood wallpaper, Gilbane employed streamlined canopies to “cozy up” antique metal beds dressed in early American quilts.

Or the entry hall, where the selection of tumbled stone flooring in a timeless black-and-white check lays the foundation for oil painting gallery walls and millwork painted a chalky hue that feels snatched from a country residence benefitting from centuries of patina. “We live in a world where so much is accessible and, in turn, so much is the same,” muses Gilbane. “That is in part why this ‘old with a twist’ aesthetic is resonating today— it’s just refreshing.” saragilbaneinteriors.com

David Scott

Joy Moyler

Young Huh

David Scott established his namesake firm, David Scott Interiors, with a belief that interiors should reflect the style and personality of their owner—not simply the designer. The natural connection a client has with their home drives each design, resulting in a portfolio of highly personal environments. With almost 30 years of experience, Scott has created diverse and artful designs in an array of styles for numerous clients. Visually stimulating yet supremely functional, Scott’s interiors gracefully meld the timeless elegance of the past with today’s modern aesthetic.

For interior designer Joy Moyler, fashion is a driving force behind her diverse body of work. Textiles, color and pattern seep into her projects, which are punctuated by bespoke details often found in haute couture. She developed a penchant for architecture after visiting Spain as a teenager. Enthralled by the light, color and textures of Madrid and Barcelona, she decided to pursue a Bachelor of Science in architecture. Moyler’s experience spans the globe and encompasses residential, retail, hospitality and commercial projects infused with local culture. Moyler’s portfolio also includes A-list celebrity residences, including Harry Winston’s Beverly Hills home.

A Detroit native, Young Huh received a law degree from Fordham University. While pursuing further education and an internship in interior design, Huh discovered her true calling and founded her New York City-based design firm in 2007. Resetting the design narrative for each project, Huh’s work is about finding harmony and dynamism through the application of classic and modern design principles.

Thoughtful architectural details provide the groundwork for warm and welcoming interiors, each animated by sophisticated surface treatments, a singular play of pattern and color, as well as a touch of wanderlust.

The Hamptons have a long tradition of inspiring great artists and artisans. Enter Elizabeth Dow. For 30 years, Dow has been creating unique works of art as well as handmade fabrics and wallcoverings from her East Hampton studio. She has also assembled an award-winning team who help source unique furnishings and accessories for her showroom and assist in the design of her custom interiors. “While our flagship showroom and studio is located at 14 Gingerbread Lane, our projects extend well past East Hampton to New York City, Florida and beyond,” Dow says.

“In addition, Elizabeth Dow Wallcovering and Textile collections are represented by 12 national and international showrooms.” With so much artistry under one roof, one wonders what ties it all together? Dow’s response: “Our focus on the handmade and handcrafted as well as our belief in reclaiming and reimagining exceptional pieces from the past.”

CREATIVE CONFESSIONS •S hare a professional highlight.

When one hears the phrase “ones to watch,” the up-and-coming creative comes to mind. But when seasoned experts pivot to pursue new endeavors, the results are just as anticipated. Enter, Christopher LaGuardia, the founder and managing principal behind LaGuardia Design Group.

Although the Hamptons-based landscape architecture firm will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year, a second office in the city and decision to shift focus promises an enticingly fresh chapter.

“Today, I’m striving to grow the firm alongside my two partners, Ian Hanbach and Daniel Thorp,” Christopher says. “Our goal is to expand to other building types, with my keen interest being in public and institutional work. It’s very rewarding to see everyday people engaged in the work

One might think a landscape architect would spend free time escaping indoors. Not so for Christopher. “The mornings are busy, with a long walk, golf, or tennis followed by lunch and some reading,” he says of weekend days. “Then comes an evening cocktail cruise either on Lake George or in Sag Harbor.

We like to meet up with family and friends, telling stories and laughing the night away.”

When architectural expertise meets design-build skills, great homes are the result. As the principal at RS Mannino Architects + Builders, Rosario Mannino, AIA, specializes in distinctive new home building and whole-house remodeling with a focus on luxury residences and custom kitchens and baths. A traditionalist at heart, Mannino prefers classical architecture, studying the likes of Andrea Palladio and Edwin Lutyens. “Most of our projects begin with a strong historical reference,” Mannino says. “We believe in taking inspiration from the past and researching what makes something enduringly beautiful.” Thankfully, this architect’s practice is inspired by its proximity to New York City, a place brimming with history and culture, where a stroll around the block can turn into a frenzy of ideas. “It’s amazing just how many times I can walk the same New York street and see things differently.”

A TOUCH OF MODERNITY Combining a lifelong respect for classic architecture with a strong focus on the future, Mannino has been bringing innovation and sustainability to his enduring designs since 2015. “People often ask if we are adapting to sustainable design,” Mannino says. “We have been practicing sustainable design since before it was labeled as such. Good architecture starts with an understanding of the local climate and an area’s resources. I don’t think there is any other way to conceive a successful project.” Blending old and new is a skill, and Mannino’s commitment to both is truly something to celebrate.

Look into the background of anyone who truly excels in their field, and you may find that they understand their work so well because they once stood on another side of it. Enter, Melissa Fenigstein.

Before founding The Final Touch, a trade-only showroom beloved for the sense of community it creates, she owned an interior design firm. She also came from a family of furniture manufacturers and case goods designers. “I understand the services a trade showroom needs to provide to help designers do what they do best,” she says. “My goal is to provide a diverse and extensive group of vendors in an environment that is inspiring and conducive to productivity.” And indeed, she’s done it. Halfway between New York City and the Hamptons, The Final Touch has become known as a design hub for many of the world’s most illustrious industry pros, who flock to its doors for comradery, a robust furniture selection, unique treasures, original art and bespoke products.

LASTING INFLUENCE “Many years ago, there was a sales representative from whom I purchased my first line,” Fenigstein shares. “He spent a great deal of time educating me and made me realize the importance of understanding the industry as a whole. He helped me connect design with the business that is the furniture industry and taught me so much more. It was all paramount to bringing The Final Touch to life.”

Finding the Light

On the Upper East Side, an enigmatic 1880s town house is reborn for a young family.

he concept was clear from the start: Transform a four-story brownstone on the Upper East Side into a comfortable and sophisticated family home.

As designer Sara Story mulled over her clients’ hopes and dreams for the place, she took note of the soaring, north-facing windows, the period details on the turn-of-the-century façade, and its singular elements, including an unusual double-height great room—and decided to create a bridge between old and new.

“I was captivated by how much beautiful sunlight came into the town house, and I wanted to capture it,” Story says. Formulating a plan to inject contemporary flavor as you move through the residence and maximize natural light wherever possible, she set about designing a vertical living program that would reflect the family of five’s desire for togetherness, flexibility and style.

Public spaces are laid out on the ground level, where the great room with views to a large rear garden zips a kitchen, dining area and living room into one expansive prism. Keeping the family’s wish for versatile gathering areas top of mind, the designer deployed ample seating appropriate for everyday use and special occasions alike. “The leather dining banquette makes for cozy breakfasts, but it’s big and nice enough to host an awesome dinner party,” she notes. “And everyone can hang out together at the kitchen island while cooking and doing homework, since there are six bar stools.”

With each ascending level, spaces grow more private in nature. The second floor holds a family room and the wife’s office. Story gave the kids their own retreat on the third floor, courtesy of a cheery lounge-meets-playroom serving as a meeting point for their three bedrooms. And the top story holds a peaceful primary bedroom suite as well as an office for the husband.

Keeping things light and bright called for fresh finish choices, such as pale oak floors and creamy plaster walls, which balance out historical notes elsewhere, like the bedrooms’ classical crown molding and original carved

marble mantels. There was no question in Story’s mind about salvaging another existing feature: the enormous mahogany panels in the great room, a holdover from a prior renovation.

To modernize the moment, she replaced the existing fireplace surround with a clean-lined, angled marble frame whose veining picks up the warm tones of the wood. “We took a long time making that selection because we didn’t want it to be too busy against the mahogany or the marble backsplash in the kitchen,” Story explains. “The scale of the new mantel is so grand, and the stone so refined, but it doesn’t feel fancy,” she adds. “It just feels thoughtful.”

The designer brought a similarly measured approach to furnishing the rooms, which feature her signature mix of artworks, vintage pieces and sculptural custom seating. Case in point: an invitingly poufy sofa in the kids’ lounge and a set of geometric slipper chairs before the living room fireplace. Warm, textural, organic-leaning fabrics complement the clean lines of the interior architecture, punctuated by unexpected material elements, like the woven leather headboard in the couple’s bedroom and a liquid-metal-topped dining table. And shades of blue, the wife’s favorite color, find their way throughout the residence’s predominantly neutral palette, from the peacock paint on the kitchen cabinetry to the softly striped primary bedroom wallpaper. In the family room, a watery artwork by Janaina Tschäpe “sums up the palette of this house,” says Story.

Closing in on the finish line, the designer got a call from her client who was worried her daughter might not like her new bedroom, which Story had arrayed in “a happy, peaceful and feminine” mélange of lilac and lavender, replete with a romantic canopy over the bed. She listened to the homeowner’s concerns, but didn’t skip a beat in relaying, “Hon, we’re installing it tomorrow.

Let’s just see how it goes.”

They needn’t have worried. The daughter’s now-beloved purple bedroom perfectly synthesizes the spirit of this family’s home—both modern and classic, vibrant and serene. And most importantly, designed to age with grace.

A painting by German artist Janaina Tschäpe commands attention in a corner of this Manhattan town house’s second-floor family room. Designer Sara Story recovered the vintage chair in a Zimmer + Rohde textile.

“The kids have their own separate hangout space apart from the parents,” notes Story of the third-floor lounge linking the children’s bedrooms. The space features a sculptural sofa designed by Story and artwork

by Anne Collier. The rug is Elizabeth Eakins and the concentric sconce is from Marset.

LIVING LEGACY

After disaster, a family home on the New Jersey coast builds back with gusto.

S

itting on the back porch of this Spring Lake, New Jersey, home, you’ll hear the quiet roar of the Atlantic and the cries of seabirds slowly pinwheeling above the waves. Everything about the crisp, white dwelling and its surroundings speaks of tranquility—yet just a few short years ago, it was anything but calm and quiet. After serving as a beloved family getaway for 33 years, the original house was destroyed by an electrical fire. When the flames were extinguished, friends urged the matriarch, who had built the first home with her late husband and raised three children there, to move on. She refused: “People told me, ‘Take the insurance money, sell the property and buy a new house,’ ” she remembers. “I said ‘No, I have to rebuild this for the family, it’s their legacy.’ ” For her, constructing a new abode meant rewriting, not strictly recreating, history. “The house I stayed in while we were rebuilding after the fire was much more open,” she says. “It gave me new ideas.” Since the family makeup had changed as well—the children are now adults with offspring of their own—it was a good time to rethink how the dwelling would be used.

She hired Richard B. Graham Jr., the original structure’s architect, to create a residence that would look much the same from the exterior but, once past the front door, appear and feel very different. “Looking at it from the outside, it’s hard to tell it’s not the same building,” notes Graham.

“But inside, designer Joan Enger, general contractor Gary Blank and I refined things.”

This fine-tuning process included simplifying the layout and moving stairwells to open the floor plan and allow light to pierce the interiors. The team also created three en suite bedrooms for the children and their spouses, and designed irresistible, grandchildworthy spaces, including a basement outfitted with a bunkroom and a top-floor family room equipped with a mini fridge for soft drinks and a cabinet for snacks. As the architect warmly notes, “Who wouldn’t want to go to Grandma’s house now?”

202

LUXESOURCE.COM

However, the way spaces are apportioned is only part of the new narrative. “The home pays homage to its history, but in an updated way,” explains Enger, who spearheaded the interiors alongside senior designer Amanda Trochim.

“The owner wanted things to feel light and airy, referencing the house in Something’s Gotta Give.

We avoided anything too trendy and used classic materials like marble, limestone and shiplap paneling.” Of note is what the designer didn’t select—anything that, in her words, “screamed beach house.” By using pale colors—pastels paired with warm earth tones—and loads of natural materials and textures—caning, grass cloth and sisal—Enger achieved a mood that’s less “beach cottage” and more “coastal vibe.”

To keep the abode feeling like a cozy family home and not an entirely new dwelling, the designer judiciously placed antique pieces throughout. A round, midcentury coffee table recovered in lacquered linen is at the center of the new sitting room, while vintage chairs wear fresh upholstery in the guest rooms and the dining room and hallway feature artworks purchased at auction. “New pieces tend to have larger proportions and the scale can be a bit off” notes Enger. “We like to buy elements with age and mix them in. That’s what keeps things balanced.”

But the most treasured items are a pair of mirrors that have been reflecting family faces for many years. “The one in the entry was part of my bedroom suite when my husband and I were first married,” shares the owner. “The other one was in the old house’s foyer and survived the fire. Now it hangs in my bedroom.”

Just as nature regenerates after a wildfire, goodness arose from charred ruins. Today, as it has for many decades, the house serves as a touchstone for three generations of the family, with the homeowner happily hosting company all summer. “The best thing about this place is that my kids love being here. We like to sit on the back deck and talk while listening to the ocean,” she says. “It’s so peaceful that everyone who visits— including me—doesn’t want to leave.”

On the second floor of this Spring Lake home, a banquette features cushions of Lee Jofa fabric underneath window shades by Hartmann & Forbes. Visual Comfort sconces flank a Palecek pendant fringed with abaca rope.

DREAM WEAVER Forgotten fabrics spring to life again in the mesmeric works of a Brooklyn-based textile artist.

W R I T T E N B Y S U S A N N A H G R U D E R | P H O T O G R A P H Y BY N I N A C H O I

T

here’s a pleasant dizzying effect that happens when you observe the designs of weaver and textile designer William Storms, whether you’re looking at a fabric swatch or an installation. In one of his signature passementerie artworks, for example, he seamlessly weaves together materials such as recycled yarn, jute rope and neon acrylic tubing, giving each piece a sense of tranquility when hanging on a wall. But as you step forward, a lively materiality awakens simply from peering a bit closer.

Storms has gracefully entwined an array of interconnected projects that make his day-to-day life as rich as his art. Outside of a full-time senior designer role at performance fabric brand Crypton, he’s dedicated to his practice of employing the traditional French trimming style of passementerie to create large-scale, three-dimensional wall hangings that challenge notions of what weaving can be. The artist is also collaborating on several high-profile homeware projects, including a rug line with Crosby Street Studios.

Storms’ creative space is filled to the brim with swatches and raw materials. Intricately patterned fabrics, eucalyptus fibers and spool after spool of yarn sit side-by-side in the Greenpoint apartment where he lives and works, bridging a love of craftsmanship and computation into artful, serpentine designs.

Three of his beloved wooden handlooms can also be found there, fitting the tableau like antique pieces of furniture.

As a child, the artist was drawn to mathematics in school and crafts at summer camp. “I was always interested in friendship bracelets,” Storms says. “The ’90s trap of lanyards and hemp and all of that.”

He happened upon his first textile studio while studying at the Fashion Institute of Technology. “I saw a loom and totally geeked out,” he recalls. After taking a night class, he found himself enamored with the technique and switched his major from fine arts to textile design. “Weaving is so structurally informed,” he explains. “It’s all math.”

But when Storms sits at the loom these days, his main agenda is to enjoy himself. “Balancing the analytical side with the intuitive side is what I do well,” the artist says. “And I always have fun with the process.”

William Storms works with yarns in his Greenpoint, Brooklyn, home and studio (opposite), where prized looms, swatches, finished pieces and works in progress (this page) coexist in harmony.

ometimes the smallest twists of fate have the biggest impacts.

Take Becky Shea’s first major renovation as a young designer, which came to be after a future client overheard her in animated conversation on the subject of kitchens.

Impressed with her know-how, he invited Shea to pitch a scheme for his brother’s recently purchased West Village maisonette. Little did she know that job would lead to designing multiple homes for the family and, eventually, to reconceiving their sprawling residence in Old Brookville, Long Island.

This wasn’t just any old getaway either.

The clients purchased the 1928 Greek Revival dwelling shortly after marrying and raised their kids there before deciding to split their time between Long Island and Manhattan. It was their dream that the property serve as an escape from the city for their children, grandchildren and beyond. As Shea puts it, this was to be “family HQ for the rest of their lives.”

For inspiration, the homeowners looked no further than their favorite place to vacation: Twin Farms, a rustic yet luxurious inn tucked away in central Vermont. “They have very hectic lives, but they’ve always felt a deep connection to that spot in the middle of nature. It’s where they go to find peace,” says Shea. The owners even invited the designer and her husband and chief operating officer, Jake, to spend a week at the resort to fully immerse themselves in its ethos.

Shea returned to Old Brookville inspired.

Alongside architect Andrew Fethes and general contractors Rob Amoroso, Joe Nicotra and Anthony Santa Maria, she set about capturing a similar sense of bucolic tranquility, but with a dose of urban swagger and all the comforts of a modern family compound. For these entertaininginclined clients, the brief centered around an enviable hospitality program. An artful eat-in kitchen, pantry, double dining hall and—the crown jewel of numerous gathering spaces—a formal living room replete with a grand piano are all cornerstones of the extensive renovation.

Throughout, Shea’s custom architectural detailing and millwork underscore the home’s emphasis on one-of-a-kind design. One heroic mention is the intricate inlaid flooring flowing from the kitchen through the dining hall. Inspired by a patterned floor she spied at a Paris flea market, the designer hand-drew the motif, specified the various woods to be used and commissioned an Amish craftsperson in Pennsylvania to produce it.

“Ninety percent of what’s in this home is built by makers from the United States,” she says. “Finding those artisans—in California, Pennsylvania, New York, North Carolina—and bringing these different worlds together in a holistic way within the space drove the aesthetic.”

To balance the pastoral undercurrent, Shea brought in plenty of leather and steel accents (“my signatures,” she quips) along with touches of concrete, all homages to the family’s urban roots.

“I wanted to weave in brutalist New York industrial materials with more rustic details,” the designer explains. She then employed a classic palette of muted neutrals contrasted by deep navy, olive green and black. And, to lace the rooms together, Shea subtly repeated materials. For instance, she incorporated cognac leather touches in the kitchen, family room and bedrooms, and used the same bed linens in different dyes, as well as similar wools for rugs and blankets.

While the renovation was a near-complete overhaul of the existing framework, the designer made sure that nods to the family’s history were plenty. She managed to salvage nearly all of the original hardwood floors and rehabilitated several sinks and vanities that used to be in the kids’ bathrooms when they were growing up. In the room nicknamed “the speakeasy” is a floating island cabinet—formerly the cashier counter in a great uncle’s liquor store during the Prohibition—which now showcases a collection of bar paraphernalia.

“When you’re creating a home like this, storytelling is very important,” says Shea. “If it’s intended to be multigenerational, you want the next generation to feel proud of what they have— and to know who it’s connected to.”

For the living room, designer Becky Shea chose Matthew Fairbank’s Giotto sconces to flank the Jamb London fireplace surround.

RH’s Kensington sofa joins a James Duncan coffee table, McGuire lounge chairs and Hans-Peter Krafft sheep sculpture.

“ Finding artisans in California, Pennsylvania, New York and North Carolina, and bringing those worlds together drove the aesthetic.” aesthetic.”

Downtown condos and townhouses are walking distance to shopping and world-class dining. Belle Haven, Riverside and Old Greenwich are elite enclaves built around charming harbor villages. And if you seek privacy and space, there’s the back country with acres of baronial, country estates. With multiple hedge funds, asset managers and financial services firms, Greenwich also has a strong business district that rivals Lower Manhattan.”

I was looking from the outside into the lives of the rich and famous.” Her infatuation fueled her career in real estate, and now, she is a licensed broker with Douglas Elliman, which has the largest network in the Hamptons. “Amagansett is special because it is so close to the ocean and bay beaches, has great restaurants, an amazing public school— which is more like a free private school—a golf course, a yacht club, trails, natural beauty and cool, low-key people.” Over the years, Gundersen has been indoctrinated into the local lifestyle, spending her Saturdays grabbing coffee, riding a bike to the beach, taking a boat out on the water or swirling a glass of chardonnay on the Duryea’s dock.

Whether they are looking to buy and remodel, purchase land to build a new home or settle into a turnkey beauty, those exploring the market can turn to Claroni and Perry for the best advice.

“For the house to become personal, the architecture has to get out of the way”

- James Merrell, Principal

This may not be the typical or expected design philosophy for an architecture firm, but James Merrell Architects is anything but typical. Led by the company’s namesake, James Merrell, this talented team is transforming the industry with their unique approach to residential design and construction.

While others may disagree, Merrell believes that involving the client in the design process is integral to the success of a project. “Houses aren’t commodities – they’re personal. The client’s contribution to the conversation about the design is so important, and leads to the elements that make the house meaningful not only to the homeowner, but to the world.”

Merrell’s unique philosophy may be attributed to his background in history and the arts, but has undoubtedly guided him throughout his 30+ year awardwinning career. Today, James Merrell Architects boasts an impressive portfolio of incredible residences imagined from the firm’s home-base in Sag Harbor, NY. A true testament to his success, Merrell adds, “Clients never sell our houses.”

James Merrell Architects has accomplished the perfect balance between hearing their clients and creating noteworthy architecture. “We design things that you don’t even know you want, but by being a part of the process, you discover the realm of what is possible.” jamesmerrellarchitects.com | 631.725.9842 | Sag Harbor, NY

LE T TE R E D ITO R ’ S

Restorative Nature One of my favorite reads in our Hamptons issue is an article on modernist architecture and its conservation out East, a timely and important topic. We spoke with three stewards of historic homes, two designers and an architect, who each hold an affection for the vernacular, what came before and why it matters today.

Ingenuity and a sense of creative expression is at the core of these early homes, which were built by pioneering modernist architects.

Their quirkiness and abstract expressionism, writ large on the landscape, make them curious and compelling: the oddly shaped windows on an Andrew Geller home or the angular, slanted walls of a Norman Jaffe residence. These works of art—in built form— are worthy of study and preservation. If you are interested in learning more, I recommend starting with Alastair Gordon’s 2001 tome, Weekend Utopia: Modern Living in the Hamptons. This captivating read explores the region’s modernist architecture and interiors as a manner of shaping the meaning of place.

Architect Forrest Frazier spearheaded a thoughtful renovation of Andrew Geller’s 1968 Antler House (top). A painting by Springsbased multimedia artist Sydney Albertini (middle). Alastair Gordon’s book Weekend Utopia: Modern Living in the Hamptons (above).

Rooms of Their Own DON’T TRY DEFINING THE 1818 COLLECTIVE—IT’S A UNICORN

BY DESIGN. W R I T T E N BY G R AC E B E U L E Y H U N T

In a bustling corner of Sag Harbor village, designer Kristin Fine and ALT for Living founder Analisse Taft-Gersten have opened a shop that questions its designation as such. Housed in a 19th-century Greek Revival Colonial, the 1818 Collective gets its name from the era of the building, Fine and Taft-Gersten’s birthdays and the number’s association with abundance.

Abundant is an apt qualifier for the sunlit space, which the pair have lovingly restored, reinspirited and filled with design discoveries from a growing list of vendors represented exclusively for the Hamptons market. Take the walls and millwork, which are swathed in Ressource Paints and outfitted with Blanche Jelly and Studio Henry Wilson hardware. Or the tactile, ceramic lighting fixtures by artist Olivia Cognet that softly illuminate a mix of vintage and contemporary furnishings. The common thread is simply “an element of surprise,” notes Fine. “The friction is what makes things cool,” adds Taft-Gersten. “We’re like a Bon Iver song— there’s a lot of instruments coming in!”

While the ladies see the showroom as their “tether to the ground,” in Fine’s words, the collective is intended as a creative incubator: a place for exhibitions, book signings, parties, artist visits and more. They’ve even managed to tuck two charming sleeping lofts in the second-story eaves. Crucially, they hope to provide a home out East for the local design community, as well as “design-curious” passersby, per Taft-Gersten.

In its nascent summer, the 1818 Collective is poised to evolve with the times. “There’s rigidity in traditional brick-and-mortar. If we sell out the floor, we want to be able to close the drapes and hang a sign on the door that says ‘Gone shopping in Paris,’ ” shares Fine. Adds Taft-Gersten, “Making this ‘The House of No Rules’ is how we want to live now.” the1818collective.com

PETER MARINO

W R I T T E N BY A D R I A N M A D L E N E R

When viewing one of Peter Marino’s recent projects—say, the Dior flagship in Paris—one might not realize the architect is a maximalist.

Accumulated over more than 40 years, his vast art collection includes everything from Roman antiquities to Basquiats.

Housed in Southampton’s former Rogers Memorial Library, the new Peter Marino Art Foundation brings this eclectic selection under one roof to be enjoyed by all. Luxe caught up with Marino to chat restoration, roses and what’s in store on Jobs Lane. petermarinoartfoundation.org You’ve lived in Southampton for over 25 years. How does the foundation fit within the town’s cultural evolution? Hauser & Wirth, Phillips, and Christie’s all moved in recently.

They’re perfectly positioned for the sophisticated summer crowd. I established

032

LUXESOURCE.COM

the foundation to showcase my collection and mount rotating exhibitions of the contemporary talent I collect. It’s a house museum that reflects my tastes.

Take us through the renovation. The building is significant for the time it represents. I think we need to be more respectful of architectural heritage. Nobody would treat a painting from 1895 badly, yet it’s okay to misuse architecture for some reason. I wanted to find an adaptive reuse for this building, so I put my money where my mouth was and preserved the exterior.

The interior, however, is a personal architectural statement complete with Venetian stucco and leather-clad walls.

Given your love of gardens, how did you address the grounds? We planted five rose varieties—hundreds of them—along the building’s brick façade to create a real wow moment for passersby. All are dark red roses, the official flower of Southampton.

What do you have programmed this summer? After a quiet season in 2021, we have a lot planned. Following Vik Muniz and Anselm Kiefer in May, we’re opening a Sanford Biggers show on July 16. He is creating new works based on my Renaissance and Baroque-era bronzes. It’s fun to see the

endless connections that exist between works from different periods. Back by popular demand, Bob Colacello will also be hosting a series of informal artist talks.

How are you hoping to involve the community and what do you want audiences to experience? We are creating connections and sharing resources with institutions in the area, such as Dia Bridgehampton and Guild Hall in East Hampton. We’ve also worked with a town trustee to bring in local students to engage with the exhibitions. Overall, I aim to demonstrate that art can express individuality and doesn’t need to represent a specific typology or period to be good.

Into The Woods—the brainchild of Catherine Woods, a Hamptons resident by way of Ireland—is fast expanding.

What started in 2018 as a collection of bright woven bags adorned with names of East End villages has since blossomed into a full-fledged lifestyle brand spanning hats, jewelry, tabletop accessories and more. Here, Woods shares the scoop for summer ’22. into-thewoods.com Give us your elevator pitch. Into The Woods makes and sells one-of-a-kind woven and handmade pieces that bring joy and happiness. Our bags are made from palms by artisans in Colombia and Bali.

What are you excited to introduce this season? We have fun, colorful shell-shaped bags that are perfect for summer, as well as large picnic baskets for boaters and beachgoers. We are expanding into furniture with designs sold exclusively at Mecox Gardens. Later this year I’m headed to India and hope to add handprinted fabric caftans and cover-ups to our offerings.

You’re the pop-up queen! Where can shoppers find you? We have events all over the Hamptons, from the Crow’s Nest to Wölffer’s Wine Stand and Duryea’s Lobster Deck. Some of our pieces are carried at Destination Haus in Montauk, too.

MEET THE MAKER BOB GOLDEN

W R I T T E N BY C L É M E N C E S FA D J

Observe Bob Golden’s ceramics and you will find throwing lines reminiscent of waves and feel a connection to the windswept vistas of Springs, where he lives and works. Rather than aim for sleek perfection, the artist is happy when his pieces speak to their owners, who might grow attached to the bold textured surface of a plate or to a characterful dent in a mug. Take his latest collection for Michael Del Piero—a suite of clean-lined porcelain tableware which displays surprising thinness while showing traces of the artist’s process. That thinness is the result, Golden says, of clay “reaching the point before collapse.” Each piece is a love letter to the Hamptons’ landscape and community—and an opportunity to bring unique organicism to the dining table. bobgoldenceramics.com

BEHIND THE BRAND

Beach gear gets a stylish upgrade this summer, thanks to the towel gurus at Weezie and designer Peter Dunham, who have collaborated on a limitededition collection that brings together Weezie’s extra-plush terry cloth and Dunham’s signature prints. The result is a capsule of three designs with eye-catching motifs, such as Fig Leaf, a botanical print inspired

by Salvador Dalí, and Kashmir Paisley, a charming pattern in contrasting shades of blue (both shown at right). Better still, the towels can be personalized in an array of fonts and colors—a perfect summer hostess gift, if you ask us. weezietowels.com

TWO NEW DESIGN DESTINATIONS CELEBRATE THE SIMPLE PLEASURES OF HOME. W R I T T E N B Y S A R A H S H E LT O N

Salt House Mercantile: For timeless wares inspired by a coastal lifestyle, look no further than Salt House Mercantile in Sag Harbor Village (below). With a location on Bainbridge Island, Washington, founder Carrie Schei decided to grow the brand when she put down roots on the East End in 2018. On what’s in store, she hints to “elements reminiscent of the understated beauty of living by the sea”—think Heather Taylor Home linens, Farmhouse Pottery pieces, framed photography by Dean Isidro, Sabre flatware and blue-and-white splatterware. For gift-giving or building one’s own collection, there’s reason to come again and again. salthousemercantile.com

Il Buco Vita: “What we built was a trading post—for ideas, friends, objects, conviviality,” says Donna Lennard, founder of beloved Manhattan Italian eatery il Buco. That belief has led to an expansion onto Amagansett’s Main Street with il Buco al Mare. And while local seafood lures diners, a shopper’s paradise awaits next door at il Buco Vita (above). There, you’ll find a range of antiques and Italian goods such as colorful glassware and glazed dishes, beeswax candles and linen napkins, many of which are designed in-house.

And, of course, artisan pantry staples like olive oil, canned sauces and tinned fish. “It’s all about how you want to live. What makes you feel good?” asks Lennard. Surely, this special selection will bring the il Buco magic home. ilbuco.com

Hadley Wiggins has lived on the North Fork for over a decade, finding it the perfect playground to indulge her love of history and seaside style. Luxe tapped Wiggins to share her recipe for a design lover’s day across Peconic Bay. hadleywiggins.com 10 a.m. Head over to Shelter Island and start with breakfast at Marie Eiffel. Get the croissant, it’s worth it!

10:30 a.m. Sit on the dock and watch the goings-on of Dering Harbor with its beautiful vintage boats and docking drama, which is always fun to witness.

12:30 p.m. Head to the Orient Country Store, a no-frills general store with incredible breakfast and lunch. Say hi to Miriam and tell her Hadley said you can make any substitutions you want (you cannot). After lunch, take a walk around the corner to the Oysterponds Historical Society.

2:30 p.m. Go west to the Northshore Audubon Society walking trail, making a loop from the beach rather than turning back on the same path.

3:30 p.m. Explore Southold village’s design shops! Visit White Flower Farmhouse for all your shabby-chic needs, Pearl on Main for rattan decor and Fez & Ivy for vintage rugs.

5:30 p.m. Stop at Southold General for coffee or gelato (my whole day would be coffee stops if I’m honest).

6 p.m. Make Eight 8 Farm your last visit for sustainably produced groceries. Staples I never do without: butter, eggs, pancetta and the kale sausage!

The exterior of Jayne Michaels’ Springs residence (previous page) is true to its original 1972 design, which is credited to Joseph D’Urso. Architectural designer Sarah Rose Reilly preserved the wood paneling of a 1974 beach house in Amagansett (above), opting for a honey finish in the living room and matte black for the façade.

the kitchen but otherwise preserved the structure, including its original vertical exterior and interior wood paneling.

Jayne Michaels, co-principal of design studio 2Michaels, saw similar appeal in the thoughtful simplicity of her 1972 Joseph D’Urso-designed home in nearby Springs—one of the first minimalist projects of its kind. Smitten with the symmetrical box shape, “arresting” light well over the center of the structure and black-painted façade (“before that was cool to do,” she says), Michaels put in an offer 10 minutes into viewing the property. The designer replaced the kitchen and bathrooms but was mindful not to “kill the Bauhaus vibe” in doing so.

“Midcentury modern style was intended to provide architecturally interesting housing to the ‘common man,’ and that’s a goal we still believe in,” she says.

There was a time when summering on the East End meant just the essentials.

Throughout much of the mid-to-late 20th century, New Yorkers sought informal beach houses that put them in closer contact with nature, and architects responded in kind with modernist dwellings emphasizing quality of experience over quantity of space.

“There was real freedom of expression in built form at the time,” notes Sarah Rose Reilly, principal of local firm Studio Rozu. “The money and sophistication were there for designers to experiment, and the beauty of the land was there to inspire. Norman Jaffe deconstructed the house in exquisite conversation with the ground and sky, Charles Gwathmey turned the home into the ultimate playground for living, and Andrew Geller transformed paper airplanes into castles by the sea.” The architectural designer found a perfect specimen for her own experiments in a 1974 beach shack tucked into the dunes in Amagansett.

Championing its clean shape and precocious open concept, she expanded

Tasked by design-savvy clients with renovating Andrew Geller’s iconic Antler House in East Hampton, architect Forrest Frazier similarly ushered the 1968 house into all-season, 21st-century living with a gentle hand. Crucially, bringing the dwelling up to current energy codes while maintaining its purest form necessitated heavy investment in an unobtrusive HVAC system that allowed for its owl-eye windows and cedar paneling to remain distinct. Barring the addition of modern appliances and marble countertops in the kitchen, the original structure stands much as it did at its genesis. “Playful beach homes” such as the Antler House, Frazier posits, embody “the real spirit of the Hamptons.”

Frazier, Michaels and Reilly comprise a small number of design professionals who have had the opportunity to rehab these dwindling treasures. Without protections (as the National Historic Preservation Act didn’t exist until 1966 and typically reviews homes at least 50 years old), the

Hamptons’ modernist housing stock is free to be razed for the new—and has been for decades.

So, why is it worth saving peculiar, often modest structures when there’s monetary incentive not to? The recent denial by the Southampton Architectural Review Board of a permit to demolish a Norman Jaffe residence on Meadow Lane suggests a reckoning around their

importance in the American design cannon. Historical significance aside, “there seems to be a growing appreciation for how cool these homes are,” Reilly concludes. “They’re unselfconscious in their quirkiness, naive in the risks they took architecturally, and elemental in their connection to nature. Those things can be hard to find these days—especially in the Hamptons.”

A design team helps longtime clients create a Southampton getaway as vibrant and fun as their family vacations on the shore.

Architecture: Joseph Cerami, Joseph Cerami & Associates Interior Design: Michael Cox, Zunilda Madera and Stephanie Daniels, Foley&Cox Home Builder: Brian Kuck, BK Kuck Construction Landscape Architecture: Joseph W. Tyree, Joseph W. Tyree Landscape Design Inc.

In the main stairwell of this Southampton retreat, the warmth of tongue-and-groove cedar ceilings is juxtaposed with a sleek metal railing. The designers put a fresh spin on nautical decor, pairing Lindsey Adelman’s blown-glass Knotty Bubbles pendant with an oil painting by Joseph Richards through Carrie Haddad Gallery.

F

or years, a classic shingle-style vacation house on a windswept bay in Southampton had been the ideal escape for a family of five. But as the homeowners’ children grew up and brought their spouses and babies in on the fun, the living spaces and sleeping arrangements started feeling tighter, and the floors got sandier.

Then, serendipity: A sun-dappled double lot just across the street came up for sale. Soon after, architect Joseph Cerami and designer Michael Cox—who together had conceived the aforementioned waterfront retreat—were tasked with imagining the transformation of this vacant property into a getaway befitting the family’s youngest generations.

“The new house functions almost as an addition to the primary residence,” Cerami says of the resulting structure. Its three-level floor plan includes a gym and massage room, as well as a billiards room and outdoor sport court, plus plenty of space for indoor and outdoor relaxation. “We tried to imagine every element of a self-contained oasis,” Cox explains.

Because the new dwelling would be part of a family compound, the design team also endeavored to create connections between the two houses—“as well as a sense of evolution,” Cox notes. “Certain fundamental elements are repeated in subtle ways, while others represent a natural progression.”

The strong yet simple structure that landscape designer Joseph W. Tyree created with hedges, hornbeams and stone walls, for example, gave the new house an immediate sense of belonging. The cedar shake roof that Cerami designed nods to the waterfront home’s shingled façade, but punctuating the roofline with dormers topped with standingseam metal made it “more modern looking,” the architect says of this effect created in collaboration with general contractor Brian Kuck.

Inside, Cox and colleagues Zunilda Madera and Stephanie Daniels incorporated the same wideplank white oak floors and coffered ceilings used

in the primary home, but traded traditional trim for simpler, beefier profiles, “so everything was in a bolder scale,” explains Cox. This paved the way for visually impactful moments, such as the dining room’s gigantic, Ingo Maurer–designed pendant, the interior of which is painted an intense ultramarine hue. “When we were installing it, we got a picture of five team members standing underneath the dome—it’s that large,” Cox recalls. In the main stairwell, the designers suspended a 14-foot-long light comprising ropebound, hand-blown glass globes—a sculptural take on Japanese buoys. And for the living room, they chose a large, woven-rattan pendant. “It’s ‘go bold or go home,’ ” Cox says of their approach. “We think of lighting as sculpture hanging from the ceiling.”

Fixtures this daring beg the question, “What do you put underneath?” Cox admits. For the dining room, he designed a Corian-topped table whose impact comes from its massive scale, while, in the living room, it’s the diptych painting’s “color shock” that makes a statement, he notes.

The art collection the designers gathered for the house covers a wide swath of creative expression, from watercolors to block prints, paintings and photographs. And, throughout the house, eyecatching furnishings double as artwork, from a voluptuous Gaetano Pesce–designed chair to the foyer’s custom cabinet inspired by Piet Mondrian’s primary-colored paintings. “That was a very specific client request,” Cox says of the latter. “When the homeowner suggested, ‘How about something that feels like Mondrian?’

I was so happy to see him getting excited about referencing art as inspiration.”

Eighteen years ago, when Cox embarked upon the first of numerous homes he would design for this family, their taste “leaned more traditional,” he recalls. “But through the years, we pushed the envelope and started to introduce them to more contemporary furniture shapes and artists.” This house is the payoff. “Here, they gave us the ability to bring in surprises in terms of color and scale,” Cox says—and in return, they’re treated to design as fun as the freewheeling vacation vibe it fosters.

ucked between the Pollock-Krasner House and Napeague State Park is the East Hampton home and studio—make that two studios—of multimedia artist Sydney Albertini.

Relocating to Springs from New York City some 20 years ago, the Paris-born artist immediately felt a connection. “I didn’t need to be in the city anymore, and I’d always wanted to live by the ocean,” she recalls. The move not only gave her space to create a “dry studio” in the main house for fiber work and a “wet studio” for her paintings just a few yards away, but also the chance to develop a rich artistic practice while raising three boys. “I didn’t have the luxury of taking myself away from family to work, so I had to bring work into our family space,” the artist says. Her

home and work life are as symbiotic as her textile and painting practices, which she considers parallel processes. “The relationship between them is like the leaf and the tree,” Albertini explains. “One can’t live without the other.”

A self-taught textile artist, she uses quilting, embroidery and weaving techniques to create works that range from wall-mounted canvases to freestanding sculptures. These pieces are emotional, examining connections between individuals and society. Her paintings (done on paper with oils and charcoal), and especially the “Woman Movement” and “Mother and Child” series, also explore femininity. In the former, she depicts female figures with “a chaos between movement, fabrics and the body,” which she organizes “with patterns like geometrics, stripes or cherries.” The latter gathers “reflections on my relationship

with my children—how you meld together but you’re separate,” the artist says.

Sometimes the mother and child’s patterns are the same, other times they differ.

But it’s her “Botanical” series, sparked by a recent trip to Costa Rica, that has opened Albertini—who has two shows this fall, one at Trois-Cinq Friedland, Sisley’s Paris-based cultural program, and one with her gallerist, Tristan Hoare, in London—to new visions.

“I was overwhelmed by what I saw in the jungle. I came back and started painting botanicals,” she recalls. “It’s been such a rush, I haven’t stopped!” Bike rides through the Hamptons have proved similarly influential, from observing branches and flowers to blades of grass blowing in the wind. When composing her abstract “mind landscapes,” as the artist calls them, Albertini intentionally eschews ground and sky. “I want the botanicals to encircle you,” she says. “I don’t want reality.”

Contemporary art and playful furnishings create a singularly stylish family home by the sea.

FUNKY FRESH

Interior Design: Monica Fried, Monica Fried Design

very designer dreams of clients who simply get it.

For Monica Fried, those clients were Joanne Diamond and Michael Bass. Keen collectors with an ever-expanding roster of contemporary artworks (by the likes of figurative painter Jonathan Wateridge, multimedia artist Mindy Shapero and sculptor and painter Yoshitomo Nara), the couple desired an art-forward yet approachable beach home—an irresistible brief for the designer.

For years, Joanne and Michael had sought a place out East to comfortably accommodate their blended family of five children plus grandchildren.

Eventually, they found their answer in a newconstruction residence in Southampton. Behind the classic shingled facade, the dwelling offered plenty of bedrooms, a pleasing open floor plan, ample windows providing an abundance of sunlight, and a clean, modern canvas to showcase art. Upon viewing it for the first time, Fried intuited that the house had potential to transform into a haven at once personal and made for hosting, elevated but still casual. In essence, a home that captures the many facets of who this family is and how they live.

Naturally, art was at the core of that transformation. The couple—who works closely with Los Angeles-based consultant Cardiff Loy— saw the project as an opportunity to acquire new pieces that would celebrate the interiors.

Fried refers to the den as a primary example.

To make it a space where the family would want to curl up together and watch movies, the designer employed a warm orange palette for a cozy atmosphere. “We went for a yummy pumpkin mohair sectional, bringing in an almost retro, 1970s color,” she notes. Pointing to the vibrant metallic artwork that hangs on the wall, Fried adds, “I think the couch inspired Joanne’s selection of the Mindy Shapero piece above it.”

In the living room, another artwork—a verdant painting by Jonathan Wateridge—was similarly deployed to make conversation with the greenery beyond the windows.

Furnishings were curated to converse with the surroundings, too. Take the living room’s Christophe Delcourt sofa, whose sinuous shape draws visitors into the room and toward its wall of windows in a welcoming embrace. Fried found this piece, as well as the free-form wooden cocktail table that nestles in its curvature, on a sourcing trip to Paris. Thankfully, her gutsy clients were game, even from afar. “Some people would never purchase an item they haven’t seen in person, but Joanne and Michael were excited to,” notes the designer of that table—a find from the Paul Bert Serpette antiques market. “Monica and I had the same vision,” adds Joanne. “So when she said that the coffee table and sofa were standout pieces that we needed, I trusted her.”

Yet beneath the pedigree of the home’s hero acquisitions, the designer never lost sight of the fact that this is, at heart, a house by the sea for a lively, social family. As such, comfort and utility thread through each decision. “Everything is wipeable and usable,” Joanne affirms. “Monica chose fabrics and furnishings that are beautiful but work for constant use.” Which means that no one lives in fear of upholstery getting ruined by wet bathing suits or of cocktails being spilled on rugs—both key considerations for this family of entertainers.

As Fried points out, the dining room, with its table that seats 14, is especially ideal for languid summer evenings in the company of friends.

“Can’t you see dinner parties in there lasting well into the night?” Fried muses. “The chairs are so comfortable and relaxing. It’s a space you want to sit in for hours.” That room, like every other, evokes a spirit of easy yet sophisticated living. “That’s exactly what we wanted,” concludes Joanne. “An everyday house with style.”

With its classic shingled exterior, this Southampton vacation home was the perfect fit for homeowners looking for a sophisticated yet family-friendly beach house. RH planters frame the entry.

Furnishings in neutral tones, such as the Merida rug, Cuff Studio pendant and leather chair from Studio Twenty Seven, allow artwork throughout the home to sing. Above the Vonnegut/Kraft bench in the living room hangs a painting by Alex Eagleton.

Happy Hour Midcentury style meets the English countryside in a Bridgehampton farmhouse built for merriment.

A

fter years of long-distance dating, the owners of this Bridgehampton residence were eager to live in the same place. The young woman relocated from London to New York, and, together, they began hunting for a home of their own. A 1990s farmhouse set in a grassy lot with majestic mature trees quickly captured their imagination. Every inch of the property needed work, but who better to imbue some much-needed TLC than a pair of transcontinental sweethearts?

Enter Augusta Hoffman, a New York-based designer and longtime friend of the couple, whom they confidently tasked with reconceiving the abode as a happy, all-season retreat. For these owners, happiness meant “the juxtaposition of an elegant, traditional home that felt youthful and edgy at the same time,” notes Hoffman. It also meant a space designed for entertaining as, on the weekends, they regularly host upwards of 40 guests for lunches and cocktail parties.

Joined by general contractors Stephen Sisca and Vitaly Katsnelson of Renovation Partners in collaboration with locally based Carlos Mendoza of Eastern Chateau, the designer set about delivering their wish list with a series of clever, impactful updates. In addition to fresh millwork throughout, a new lighting program was installed to elevate the interior canvas.

“We brought in a lot of thoughtful elements from traditional Georgian homes, which add to the refinement of the space,” Hoffman says. “One of the best decisions was to replace all the outlet covers and light switches with unlacquered brass so the rooms would feel much more architectural and considered.” She also gave the downstairs guest suites a hospitable feel by removing closets in favor of breathing room, and converted the former den into an expansive dining room replete with a built-in bar and French doors opening onto the garden.

Paint, meanwhile, was Hoffman’s secret weapon. Opting for bright palettes in rooms that lacked optimal sunlight, the designer leaned into maximalist jewel tones for the home’s heavily

windowed spaces. To wit, the dining room was given a velvety emerald coat, and the office and den a rich indigo. And instead of gutting the rustic kitchen, Hoffman simply replaced the countertops and painted everything black. “By bringing in a bit of New York edge with dark millwork and new marble counters, we enhanced the space without actually doing much,” she explains. Even the floors were treated to dramatic paint transformations.

The entry hall and dining room, for instance, now feature timeless diamond checks, and the sanctuary-like upstairs bedrooms’ wooden boards were painted a beachy white hue.

Formalizing the joining of their design sensibilities, the couple became engaged midway through the project, and many of Hoffman’s updates play to this tension. While the man’s taste had always skewed Scandinavian midcentury, his fiancée preferred a more classic British look inspired by her family’s home in the English countryside. And so, Hoffman embraced both influences when it came to fabrics and furnishings, deftly balancing notes of modern masculinity with Cotswold flair.

Take the dining room, where a set of teak midcentury dining chairs surrounding a steelbased table effortlessly mingle with an English George II-style server dating to the 1750s. Or the living room, where a medley of European and Scandinavian pieces gather around a fireplace composed of manganese Delft tiles. Twentiethcentury furnishings with sleek lines similarly break up the unabashedly British spirit of the bedrooms, courtesy of elaborately canopied beds and layers of dainty floral and block prints.

Completing the transformation of this residence was a sweeping exterior overhaul. “We reoriented the entrance, moved the pool, highlighted the front door and shutters with black paint and beautiful brass hardware, and removed decaying trellises,” the designer recalls. And, imperatively, to create a grand lawn for parties, landscape designer Michael Donnellan opened up the parcel, pushing out the existing perimeter of hedges and accentuating it with classic hydrangeas. Those young plants have since blossomed and Hoffman’s clients are now newlyweds. As for their very first home together, it’s the toast of the town.

In the back entrance hall, designer Augusta Hoffman used organic textures to create a welcoming vibe. Under a rattan globe pendant, a brass lamp and wabi-sabi-style reclaimed teak bench join a framed Gracie hand-painted chinoiserie silk panel.

“They wanted the juxtaposition of an elegant, traditional home that felt youthful and edgy at the same time.”
