LETTER EDITOR’S

Nuts & Bolts I recently purchased a bronze acorn charm necklace cast through the lost-wax technique. The fact that it is handcrafted by a delightful Florentine artist and designer, whom I had the pleasure of meeting at her studio was part of my attraction, but another reason that I was drawn to the piece was the acorn’s symbolic meaning: great and wondrous things can emerge from small and humble beginnings. That’s often the case in design and in other creative pursuits. You start with a seed, a kernel of an idea, that requires nurturing and attention to grow into something extraordinary. Many of you are embarking on a new design project, tinkering with an idea or building something from the get-go. I hope you embrace the fits-and-starts of the kickoﬀ and savor the long journey into full potential.

ONE TO WATCH ROBBY SIMON

Robby Simon rattles off names in fashion, film and music with fervor, but it’s design maestros like Mies van der Rohe and Ettore Sottsass that make him light up with delight. The largely self-taught artisan, who first dabbled in woodworking as a Boy Scout, sharpened his carpentry skills to bolster his day job as a facilities manager. After apprenticing under fellow Atlanta craftsman Robell Awake, Simon released a duo of capsule collections in 2020: Play.Room and Play.Room 2. Crafted of sustainably harvested hardwoods like walnut, ash and white oak, the made-to-order offerings display luxe details like mortise-andtenon construction and solid brass inlays. With more on the way soon, Simon shares the scoop. playroomisfun.com

PATINA

On a well-trodden corner of Mountain Brook Village, designer Melanie Pounds’ beloved boutique, Patina, provides the perfect vantage point to catch glimpses of neighbors crossing the stone bridge over Watkins Brook or the sunlight streaming into her atmospheric showroom. The latter is essential to the well-traveled designer, an Alabama native who relocated to Birmingham two decades ago and ran the city’s esteemed Circa boutique for years prior to launching her selfstyled interiors firm in 2007. Pounds’ love for textures and colors is well on display at Patina— so named for the tactile surfaces she cultivates. Be they Venetian plaster or verdigris, limewash or cerusing, Pounds professes these materials are what make a room. At Patina, they also provide the backdrop for her curated mix of French, Belgian and Italian antiques, sculptural mirrors and casual entertaining accoutrements. But the designer’s selections offer a dose of modernity, too—seen in everything from Made Goods lighting to Verellen furnishings; top-shelf design books to original art by Grégoire Moulin and Ron Royals. shoppatina.online

Tell us about your new lamp named for Virgil Abloh. He was an icon, and his death affected me greatly. I studied everything he did and everyone who inspired him. My Abloh lamp incorporates a special type of bulb, housed within the shade itself, inspired by handbags he designed for Off-White. What’s next for you? I’m releasing new pieces on a rolling basis, and I’d like to learn bent plywood and stack lamination methods, leveraging those to make a skateboard. It’s a very involved process.

Why the name Play.Room? My pieces are meant to be seriously fun—playful with a point—and transportive, embodying the imaginative space where ideas are created. I believe the human mind is boundless.

LAUNCH TOMLIN HOUSE

SCENE

DESIGN

From her office in Green Hills, in equal proximity to rolling pasture and bustling cityscape, April Tomlin (left) is actively cultivating what she considers the design equivalent of peace. The Memphis native, who launched her Nashville firm in 2010, is favored by Music City A-listers for a lived-in aesthetic that underscores her personal ethos: to live a grounded, authentic life. Following two years of development, her newly debuted Tomlin House collection spans three thoughtful product brackets: Sourced (curated items from the firm’s favorite vendors), Collected (one-of-a-kinds hand-selected across travels) and Made (pieces that solve design conundrums and reflect Tomlin’s philosophy of functionalitymeets-beauty). Here, she reveals the vision behind it. tomlinhouse.com How did the idea for Tomlin House come about? Tying a space together with small details is one of the most important aspects of design. We were having a hard

time finding pieces that were the perfect fit for projects—they weren’t in the scale or materials we needed, for instance. After making so many things custom for clients, we kept asking: “Why doesn’t this exist?” What can we expect from the Made portion of your collection? Dishware and ceramics hand-thrown by local artisans, bed linens made in Europe, trays in walnut and white oak. There’s also an organizational system that sold out immediately. Tomlin House seems to resonate with what your clients come to you for. It’s so interesting that people are moving here from the West Coast and New York and buying property out in the country. I see a need for more land, less noise. Anything on the horizon? We’re adding new colors for linens and mix-and-match options for tabletop. We’re also exploring the potential to be in retail stores by 2023.

COLLABORATION Textile designer Cat Judice has never shied from making an impact. “Being from the South, there’s a tendency toward color and excess,” says the Louisiana-born and South Carolina-reared talent, who launched her namesake line in 2017. Inspired by design icons like Josef Frank, Judice still employs a trusty ruler and pencil or watercolor to fashion patterns from her Spartanburg studio. So when Dallas-based Label 180 reached out with the proposition of upholstering an entire Parsons desk, legs and all, her curiosity was piqued. The brand worked with Judice to tweak colors and scales, then applied 11 total textile iterations to five customizable desks and accompanying task chairs. Choices include a painterly floral, a midcentury-esque geometric and an eight-pronged star reminiscent of a compass rose. label180.com; catjudice.com

“CONTAINER/CONTAINED: PHIL FREELON DESIGN STRATEGIES FOR TELLING AFRICAN AMERICAN STORIES” Late architect Phil Freelon shifted the way we understand our history, our heritage, our countrymen—his public spaces comprising many of the most important sites dedicated to Black American identity today. On view through May 15 at the North Carolina Museum of Art, “Container/ Contained: Phil Freelon Design Strategies for Telling African American Stories,” examines his lasting impact. Freelon’s creations, including the National Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta (above), have proved conduits for community connection, inclusivity and cultural exchange. Beyond the structures themselves, this free exhibition delves into the metaphors and symbolism behind them. ncartmuseum.org

From sumptuous libraries and new entertaining essentials to cherished collections, Luxe explores the new meaning of home base and personal pursuits.

AS LIBRARIES CLIMB TO THE TOP OF CLIENTS’ WISH LISTS, DESIGNERS RESPOND WITH ARRESTING ROOMS FOR MORE THAN JUST READING. W R I T T E N BY M A I L E P I N G E L

Designers have long delighted in creating home libraries. In fact, legendary decorator Dorothy Draper even encouraged the idea among her bibliophile clientele. “Don’t hesitate to start a library, a collection of books on any subject that interests you is a joy to have!” remarked Draper. But today’s libraries serve as more than just a refuge for reading—they are spaces to gather with family and entertain guests. Ranging from studious to swank, libraries can project a

refined spirit or a joyful energy. Whether you prefer books, magazines or reading on your favorite device, a library provides “a different environment within the home,” explains designer Michael Aiduss. “It’s about shutting the rest of the world off, collecting your thoughts and feeling a sense of relaxation.” But designer Joe Lucas warns playfully: be ready to shop as it always takes more books to fill a library than one anticipates!

“ We turned this Charlotte, North Carolina, living room into a snug library, but it’s really like a family room. Wood builtins and gold-flecked red wallpaper feel unexpected, while a hidden bar makes it a great place to have drinks with guests or simply enjoy the cozy atmosphere.” –BARRIE BENSON, BARRIE BENSON INTERIOR DESIGN

“ Adding a little whimsy, like the velvet tête-à-tête in the middle of this Los Altos, California, library, makes the space feel fun, plus there’s a games table for the kids and a pair of wing chairs for the adults. It shifts the center of focus away from the kitchen to create a place where this family of readers can relax together.” –ANN LOWENGART, ANN LOWENGART INTERIORS

LUXESOURCE.COM

“ Give your library a more modern vibe with a pretty paint color—try picking a shade from a book spine and add pull-out shelves to create an extra work surface. To enliven the stone fireplace in an Agoura Hills, California, library, we used a scratch-resistant semi-gloss paint.” – JOE LUCAS, LUCAS STUDIO, INC.

ROUNDUP RADAR

“It’s all about creating an enveloping ambiance with comfortable places to sit, beautiful lighting and good acoustics to quiet any noise. Books help to create an alluring atmosphere, but don’t forget to think about a ‘wow’ factor and scale, too—like the large antique globe we used in this Greenwich, Connecticut, library—as well as displaying collections that resonate with you.”

FOUR NEW TITLES TO UP THE INTRIGUE—AND BEAUTY— OF YOUR HOME LIBRARY

YSL Lexicon: An ABC of the Fashion, Life, and Inspirations of Yves Saint Laurent Edited by Martina Mondadori and Stephan Janson Its publication timed to commemorate Yves Saint Laurent’s first runway show 60 years ago, the new tome, edited by Cabana founder Martina Mondadori and designer Stephan Janson, a co-curator of the current pan-Paris exhibition, Yves Saint Laurent Aux Musées, explores the many facets of YSL’s life through a playful exploration of words. “Our book,” write Mondadori and Janson, “seeks to offer a series of evocations in the form of an alphabet, using the words he liked, those which had a particular meaning for him.” Taking on the people, places and concepts that inspired the designer are a host of high-profile contributors including Hamish Bowles on Haute Couture and Marian McEvoy on Jardin Majorelle. Illustrating the book are images from YSL’s archive, set against lavish textiles in truly iconic style. rizzoliusa.com

By Andrea Monath Schumacher “I poured through my portfolio and chose exclusive projects— it felt like the right time to show them,” says the designer of her debut book. Colorful inspiration abounds, along with Monath Schumacher’s helpful design tips: faux bois cut velvet elevates a beachy vibe, while a red front door encourages good luck and positive energy. “I want readers to be inspired to live large at home, and this book shows them where, and how, to take risks.” gibbs-smith.com

Lotusland Forward by Marc Appleton Only an opera singer could envision a garden as theatrical as the famed Lotusland in Montecito, California, and Ganna Walska’s botanical masterpiece—featuring more than 3,400 plants— has been captivating visitors for 30 years. “Hers was obsessive botanical collecting,” writes architect Marc Appleton. Featuring photographs by Lisa Romerein, Lotusland is a verdant treat for anyone enchanted by gardens. rizzoliusa.com

Portugal: The Cookbook By Leandro Carreira In chef Leandro Carreira’s new cookbook, the Londonbased chef pays homage to the culinary history of his native Portugal. Featuring some 550 recipes, Carreira shares dishes from across his homeland, including Alentejostyle gazpacho, Algarvian seafood dishes and macaroons from a 13th-century convent. Recipes also include insights into traditional cookware, like the cataplana, a metal pot that originated in North Africa and is frequently used in Portuguese cooking. phaidon.com

SCHUMACHER DEBUTS OUT-OF-THE-BOX DINING ROOM CLASSICS IDEAL FOR MODERN LIVING. W R I T T E N B Y M A R I O LÓ P E Z- C O R D E R O

Call it a revival of the highest order: When Schumacher created its Editions furniture line, the firm set out to bring back the iconoclastic approach of a bygone time. “We wanted to craft furniture with up-and-coming designers from around the globe to recreate the period around the mid-20th-century— a time when people like Charles and Ray Eames were breaking the mold with original pieces that weren’t just derivatives of old forms,” says creative director Dara Caponigro. “We were looking to curate fresh, authentic furniture that spoke to a dining experience where people want to linger.” Danish designer Charlotte Høncke took a hygge-centric approach, warming up a steel-framed chair with a cozy fabric back to create a cocoonlike atmosphere. “You feel like you’re snuggled into a nest,” says Caponigro. Høncke also devised a table marrying Scandi practicality with inspired details like a soft, curved edge apron. Salla Luhtasela and Wesley Walters, principals of the Helsinki-based firm Kaksikko, used wood to fashion pieces that combine urbanity with country house ease—a yin-yang match adaptable to many homes. Take their Mokki chair, available in a range of painted finishes, its upholstered seat and rail allow for endless customization. The duo’s reinterpretation of a farmhouse table

packs subtle upgrades into a deceptively simple design where every detail counts. When Syrette Lew of Brooklyn-based Moving Mountains was tasked with crafting an upholstered piece, she went sexy. The designer conceived a curving dining chair with pieced panels that highlight its geometry while allowing for versatility in other spaces of the home. “It would work equally well in the living room,” says Caponigro. Her table design, meanwhile, crafted from two pieces of

solid wood, embodies the gravity-defying proportions and poetry of sculpture. What all the pieces have in common is a dedication to quality, ecologically sourced materials that are expertly crafted. There’s nothing remotely “mass” about them. “They’re not rolling off a factory floor somewhere,” Schumacher’s creative director notes. “Each piece will be numbered as an edition and made by hand in Italy.” Now that’s a revival worth waiting for. fschumacher.com

For Keeps DESIGNER MALLY SKOK REFLECTS ON THE TREASURED COLLECTION OF OYSTER PLATES AMASSED AT HER CAPE COD HOME.

Just down the road from our house overlooking Buzzards Bay in West Falmouth, Massachusetts, is an amazing antiques barn. It was there, 25 years ago, when I found three beautiful hand-painted oyster plates. I didn’t purposefully set out to start a collection, but I fell in love with them instantly, and the rest is history. My mother taught me to love houses, and to layer them. Things don’t have to be terribly expensive to be special. If you love something, buy it and put it on a shelf—that’s sort of our family motto. I buy what appeals to me in the moment, and that’s how the process of collecting starts organically. If something is meaningful to you—if it speaks to your heart—it doesn’t matter what it is. That’s how you end up with an authentic collection. Slowly but surely, my collection has grown over the years, and I’m running out of room to display it. Soon I’ll need to build an addition onto the house just for my oyster plates! When I arrive each summer, I spend several hours wandering from room to room, gazing upon these objects imbued with so many memories. Being back on the Cape marks the beginning of lazy days and good times spent with family and friends. That is what this house, and my collection, symbolizes to me. I’ve been collecting for a quarter of a century—too many pieces to count!— but those first three plates I found in the antiques barn down the road are still my favorite. I have warned everyone in my family: They can break anything in this house, even my heart, but not my oyster plates.

The more comfortable a space is, the more it will be used. This is an adage touted by many a knowledgeable interior designer, but it isn’t always applied to the open air. That is, unless Lloyd Flanders is involved. “This is why we focus on durability meets luxuriousness,” says Jessie Flanders, the company’s vice president of marketing. “Inexpensive outdoor pieces will last a year or two, but high-end furniture can endure for decades, with minimal maintenance and a superior level of comfort.” And, the brand has collections to suit nearly any aesthetic, from contemporary to Hamptons chic and the Southern in feel. But when it comes to the design concept, Jessie has another bit of advice: “A cohesive indoor-outdoor flow can be achieved through consistency in

color palette, materials or furniture shapes. A drastic change will make the spaces seem divided, so it’s best to stick with a common theme.”

SECRET TO LONGEVITY: LLOYD LOOM “Our proprietary Lloyd Loom® wicker is a natural fiber wicker fabric with long-lasting, high-performance Durium polyester coating for outdoor durability and flexibility,” Jessie says. “The continuous weave avoids burrs and cracking and eliminates visible material ends. It won’t fade over time due to sun exposure or rain and is available in 20 custom finishes.” Not to mention, Lloyd Loom products can be completely repainted to alter the look later. “Lloyd Loom offerings are handcrafted to be heirloom pieces that are passed down for generations.”

BE BOLDLY BESPOKE

Here, it is featured in Hickory and Sea Glass for the dining area and Hickory and Ivory for the seating beyond the pool. Left This high-impact design from LDD Interiors pairs bold Lloyd Loom finishes (dining chairs in Denim and Terracotta, lounge chairs in Denim and sofa in Mink). Right New for 2022, the Solstice collection offers premium comfort in a sleek silhouette. Here, it is shown in the Ebony and French Beige finishes.

Asked to share the latest favorites, Jessie points to color and creativity. “Consumers have access to an endless supply of design inspiration, and it has resulted in a love of customization, mixing and matching, and unique fabrics and finishes,” she says. “Our bolder finishes, like Peacock, Terracotta and Stillwater, are soaring in popularity.”

SOLSTICE solstice

The Solstice collection features clean lines, a high back, and a sleek frame that enhances the European inspired design. The fully upholstered look, and contemporary comfort make for an outdoor collection that will be enjoyed for generations.

SOUTHPORT southport

The Southport collection features a sleek frame design, accented with a beveled extrusion that captures the classic loom panels. With the choice of color on both the frame and wicker insert one can customize to any outdoor space.

POWER OF THE PIT

SEASONS FIRE PITS 205.371.2212 | seasonsfirepits.com |

seasonsfirepits

In the design of any great space, central gathering areas play a role. Given the wide-open nature of the outdoors, it is especially important to define those environments in the open air. Thus, it is perhaps no wonder that Seasons Fire Pits has found itself increasingly flooded with requests. The maker of luxury fire pits in a variety of aesthetic styles, the company uses only high-quality, heavy-gauge SA36, SA516-70 carbon steel and T304L stainless steel. The results are fire pit designs that not only look beautiful, but can withstand even the toughest elements. “The bowls that hold your logs are the same that are used in tank heads for the pharmaceutical, chemical, biotech, cryogenic and food and beverage industries,” shares Anne Smalley, Seasons’ president. “We help our clients create a special experience for their family that will be there to enjoy for a lifetime of use.”

“A fire pit turns any outdoor space into an area that can be used for all seasons,” Smalley says. “Whether a luxury resort creates a dreamy bonfire setup with a fire pit for guests, a backyard winter wedding gathers around at the end of the night or extended family has a summertime picnic that ends with the children roasting s’mores, the memorable experiences made possible by a fire pit abound.” Not to mention, when Seasons’ fire pits aren’t being used for fire, its customers have found some interesting alternate functions. “They have told us that they used it as a fountain, a well to ice down drinks, a birdbath and a planter!”

CONNECTION TO CREATIVITY The Seasons team is always keeping ears open to customer ideas and inquiries, and over the course of the past few years, it has resulted in the following innovations: •F ire pit with a lid that can make it into a table when it isn’t being used for fire •A grate with a triangular design that improves burning by allowing more even airflow

Top Simple lines define a sophisticated outdoor living space. The fire pit’s distinctive curved construction combines modernism and casual elegance.

The Cashiers, North Carolina, area is one of beauty, serenity and small-town friendliness. It boasts lush native rhododendrons, azaleas and mountain laurels, and the influence of the Adirondack style can be seen throughout the man-made surroundings. Known as an escape to the mountains, it has long been a beloved spot for primary and second homeowners alike. One longtime visitor is Jay Hurt. After 12 years of making his own journeys into Cashiers, Hurt found out about a unique 300-acre piece of property available for the first time in 40 years. He jumped at the opportunity to purchase it, and now, Silver Run Reserve is a reality. A mountain retreat like no other, the company encompasses new construction homes on properties ranging from 2 to 12 acres.

Growing up in sunny Miami, designer Constanza Collarte walked through dozens of orange groves on her way to school each day— all part of the charm found in this once-sleepy city by the sea. Fast forward a few years, and a couple more high-rise buildings later, a booming metropolis was born. But Collarte always knew she would one day return to her roots. After spending years living in New York and abroad, a 1930s Mediterranean-style residence in Coconut Grove—complete with a breathtaking outdoor area—ultimately lured her back home again. collarte.co What an amazing oasis! We like to think of it as our secret garden. Having a lush, enclosed outdoor space has made all the difference, especially recently! We spend all our time out here, whether we are having family over for dinner or hanging by the pool with our kids. One of the home’s selling points was the Fernando Wong– designed landscaping, and while we have added a few plantings here and there, his vision has remained. Constanza Collarte, founder of Collarte Interiors, sits outside her Coconut Grove abode near Miami. The table is set with a Zojora tablecloth and glasses, Penny Morrison plates, Laguiole flatware and flowers by Parrish Designs.

What about the interiors? As much as we live outdoors, our kitchen is the most heavily trafficked room, and we really tried to maximize the layout when the house was redesigned. It took a lot of planning, but the space is now open and filled with light from the doors leading out to the yard. The ‘back workings’ of the room, like the fridge, bar, pantry and storage, are also in one general area to allow for flow and functionality, which is key. Talk to us about the materials. Different layers and textures in a kitchen can add a lot. We worked with an amazing millworker who wire-brushed the cabinetry for a subtle effect. Everything from the creamy countertops to the pale wood has a hint of lilac, which is a nice connecting thread. On a trip to Morocco, I fell in love with Zellige tile—its imperfections and the way light plays off the surface—so we used them for the bar backsplash.

What’s your entertaining ethos? It’s all about indoor-outdoor living. We do a lot of entertaining alfresco—we even had my sister’s wedding out here! I’m a big collector, and I like to pick up little trinkets when I’m traveling, like salt cellars or textiles, to use on the table. The key to entertaining, for me, is continuously mixing and matching pieces. I must admit, we have a lot of the same people over, so I keep it fresh by using pieces in different ways, but the idea is to make it look effortless and easy. Tell us about the table. The exterior really informs my choices. Everything is green and lush outside, so it’s nice to throw this floral pink tablecloth down to play off the bright camelia flowers in bloom. My grandmother’s delicate embroidered napkins and bright glasses add a sweet note, but the Penny Morrison plates are really the highlight. I lived in London for a while and became quite obsessed with all those charming British prints and patterns! The kitchen features cabinetry and millwork by Hector and Hector, Sub-Zero refrigeration and a Wolf range. Dornbracht faucets are paired with Amerisink basins, while tiles from clé decorate the bar backsplash.

In Paul T. Liistro’s Westport, Connecticut, garden—which he has designed, installed and tended to over the past three decades—a metal gazebo provides an immersive late afternoon perch to enjoy the bucolic setting. “I like to sit and watch the sun go down between the trees,” he says. “The whole complexion of the garden changes.”

FAMILY AFFAIR “Chartreuse is my absolute favorite color,” effuses designer Samantha Liistro. A frequent staple across her interiors and personal wardrobe, it’s also the color of chamaecyparis trees that ring the Westport, Connecticut, garden, that her father, Paul T. Liistro, has lovingly cultivated over the past 35 years. A healthcare executive, sailor and self-taught landscape designer, Paul has poured his insatiable curiosity for the natural

world into this most resplendent of gardens. “When we purchased the property, I felt like Huckleberry Finn when he says he’s giving up on civilization and heading into the territory,” says Paul. Upon surveying the land—a virgin expanse of grass, forest and stream—he began sketching, and, like a tree taking root, the plot has since revealed itself in chapters. An all-pink rose garden (replete with a plumbed stone wall and dryad fountain) was inspired by the Elizabeth Park Conservancy in Hartford, snow-white Magnolia trees nod to Boston’s Commonwealth Avenue and a tidy pea gravel pavilion dotted with ornamental fountains and a table for two perpetuates a treasured memory. “I lived in Paris, near the

Luxembourg Gardens, while studying abroad at Parsons,” shares Samantha. When Paul came to visit at the end of the term, she knew just where to take him. “We were so inspired by all the lovely pools and places to sit. On the flight home, he took out his notebook and we began to sketch our own version.” Samantha fondly dubs the setting her “favorite place in the world,” and credits her father’s handiwork for much of her own approach to color and pattern. Recently, Paul and his wife Brenda hired their daughter to design a new first-floor addition housing a sumptuous primary bedroom suite. There, through an enormous picture window, Samantha has framed her father’s garden like a painting. samanthaliistro.com

CARVING A PATH Upon visiting his clients’ Woodside, California, property—a former equestrian farm with the beaten down dirt to prove it—landscape architect James Lord’s mission became clear. First, nurse the land back to health. Second, establish a thriving meadow. Along the way, a dreamy patchwork of soft rush, little bluestem and silver grass began to materialize. To enjoy the bounty, Lord, alongside partners Roderick Wyllie and Geoff di Girolamo, envisioned a series of crushed gravel footpaths undulating through the meadow like a soft breeze. Beyond providing the clients with their own parklike setting for daily strolls, the exuberant plant life has prompted the husband to embrace time-lapse photography, documenting such ephemera as the unfurling of cactus flowers. This luxuriant slowing, Lord believes, is imperative to mental health. “We blab on about the benefits of biophilia, but it’s all true! The alpha waves are going crazy when you’re out in nature,” he says. “This garden is curated with a spirit of delight and discovery, but there’s great calmness to it, too. It’s a world of its own.” sdisf.com

Highlights of the garden include meandering meadow paths (top), water features evocative of the property’s agricultural roots—like a trough-inspired reflecting pool (left)—and draught-tolerant cactuses and succulents (above).

YOUNG AT HEART

“We were trying to create a bit of magic within the landscape—to invite imagination and play,” shares landscape architect Ed Hollander of this Southampton, New York, property. Inspired by the clients’ vibrant brood of young children, Hollander and residential studio director Melissa Reavis drew plans for a multi-faceted, experiential garden where sculptures seemingly dart amongst allées of pleached linden trees, a pollinator meadow teaming with joe-pye weed draws butterflies, and a life-sized chessboard offers entertainment, function and a focal point. A custom creation of sandstone and granite squares (in collaboration with the home’s interior designer Kelly Behun), the board easily morphs into a stylish party pavilion—the perfect springboard for a Gatsby-esque stroll through the fantasia beyond. “Everything is meant to be uncovered along a walk through this garden,” says Reavis. “Each time you turn a corner, a surprise is revealed.” hollanderdesign.com

Customized at every turn, a fashion-forward couple’s new Atlanta home channels all the charm and refinement of a bespoke suit.

COUTURE QUALITY

Architecture: William T. Baker, William T. Baker & Associates Interior Design: Kelly Wolf Anthony, Wolf Design Group, Inc. Home Builder: Bobby Johnson, Dogwood Homes, LLC Landscape Architecture: John Howard, Howard Design Studio

In the entryway of this Atlanta home, Venetian plaster applied by Florin Zidaru of Artistic Stucco complements the curvature of residential designer William T. Baker’s floating staircase. Here, interior designer Kelly Wolf Anthony paired Woodland Furniture’s walnut Helios table, from Ernest Gaspard & Associates, with Natasha Baradaran’s Sempione stools and R. Hughes-sourced vintage objets.

he arrival of twins marks a joyous occasion, and for one Atlanta couple, it also made the case for a move. So, they set about assembling a design team who could deliver the open, familyfriendly floor plan they craved without compromising on sophistication. “Both of the clients are very fashionable,” reveals their interior designer, Kelly Wolf Anthony. “They wanted their future home to feel cool and hip, but at the same time, handsome.” Since general contractor Bobby Johnson had worked on the family’s previous Buckhead residence, he already understood their preferences intimately—a fact that helped his team seamlessly apply many of those same elements to their new abode. “There’s so much value when your owner trusts your builder,” says residential designer William T. Baker, whose arrival to the project guaranteed architecture that would balance the couple’s refined taste with their growing family. Renowned for his graceful but restrained gestures, Baker’s approach to the house exemplifies understated glamour. His curved central staircase, for example, lends a dramatic focal point visible from the home’s entryway as well as one of its most-used spaces: its library-like dining room. “As I’m designing houses, I’m always very conscious of the vistas, the enfilade of the rooms,” Baker explains. “I try to make sure things are on an axis— furniture, art walls or something architectural— so that you have a visual to draw your eye farther down the home.” Anthony, meanwhile, was interested in answering the couple’s request for a monochromatic palette while bringing in textured layers, such as tartan and bouclé. “It’s very much like a well-tailored suit,” Anthony says of the scheme. “The clients both enjoy plaids in their wardrobe and in their accessories, so we infused that into the home using flannels and wools; having those very tactile fabrics was important.” To dial up detailing in other areas, she brought in a frequent collaborator, designer Matthew Quinn. While executing the abode’s well-appointed scullery, pantry and kitchen, Quinn teamed up with Anthony to refine Baker’s plan for a steeland-glass partition dividing the latter space from the living room. The result? A clever feature that converts to a walk-up bar for entertaining or quickly closes to keep cooking aromas and meal-

prep clutter sealed away. The owners wanted an accommodating layout where they could still entertain frequently, so they also loved Anthony’s idea for keeping their aforementioned dining room informal. “We didn’t want it to be the kind of room you only use a couple times each year,” says the interior designer, who worked with Baker on the space’s chevron-patterned bleached-oak floors and ceiling paired with coordinating paneled walls. Instead, “We wanted it to be used daily—whether for a meeting or curling up with a book in the oversize wing chair. It needed more of a swanky library feel than a traditional dining room.” A similar duality emerged for the primary suite, which the clients specifically requested be on the main level. To keep the retreat feeling private, their design team devised a fluted wooden wall panel to keep its entry hidden. “We wanted that wall to read as solid, but when you open the doors, you have that big reveal,” explains Anthony, adding: “It keeps the house feeling entertaining friendly, because no one would know the bedroom is right beyond the living room.” While Anthony kept the decor of the couple’s cozy sleeping space simple, Quinn had liberty to amplify the drama in their bathroom, where he clad walls and floors in contrasting white and black marbles, also adding an open shower that remains quite private thanks to the secluded lot. “It’s an elegant space, and I think it speaks exactly the same language as the rest of the home,” Quinn notes. Outdoors, all elements were equally in harmony, apparent in the sight line that culminates in Baker and Anthony’s collaborative concept for the pool house: a classically inspired structure featuring a matte-gray stucco exterior. With landscape architect John Howard enhancing the areas surrounding it, Anthony was decidedly impressed. “John brought so much attention to detail with his planning, marrying the clean, modern look the clients wanted with classic details,” she says. “The result is spectacular in its minimalism.” That parting thought is, by all accounts, a fitting way to sum up the project as a whole. The design team successfully straddled the line of subtlety and impact for their clients while adding features that accommodate their growing family. All told, Anthony notes, it’s a truly bespoke home that fits all their wants and needs in a timeless way, yet still allows room to grow.

ABOUT FACE Reinterpreting time-honored craft traditions, a Nashville artist adds modern sensibility to ceramic works with whimsy. W R I T T E N BY M I N DY PA N T I E L P H O T O G R A P H Y BY A B I G A I L B O B O

t first glance, Nashville ceramicist Keavy Murphree’s creations are all play. In actuality, they have basis in a much broader, more universal meaning. “I’m inspired by the themes that connect us in our humanity; our desire for beauty and pathos, our struggles through grief,” reveals Murphree, who posits stored memories of seeing giant Mayan head sculptures and Mesopotamian face vessels as the probable basis for the themes that have come to define her work. But it wasn’t until a trip to Asheville, North Carolina, where she first saw Southern American face jugs, that a simple inspiration was planted. “I recognized people have been putting faces on vessels for thousands of years,” says the artist, who employs traditional methods—such as slabs, coils and press molds—to hand-sculpt her creations from stoneware clay. “Despite society’s conventions, beauty comes in all forms—and all cultures.”

By contrast is her earlier work, “Horny Beasts”—a series of appendaged animals carved or stamped, yet curiously devoid of facial features—which first drew admiration during a pottery class at the Metro Parks’ Centennial Art Center. When a fellow student became enchanted with her design, Murphree knew potential was there. “It was such an encouraging feeling knowing something I made could bring happiness and delight to another person,” she says. The moment was a major turning point for Murphree, who—although “bit by the clay bug in high school,” she says—studied industrial design at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. “My artistic side has historically been at odds with my practical side, and I initially thought I could apply my sculptural instincts to a field I saw as more viable: product design,” the artist reveals. Relocating to Nashville in 2009 with her husband, Barry, was the fateful move that paved the way for an eventual career about face, and kickstarted the pursuit of her true passion.

Today, from a sunlit space at The Clay Lady’s Campus, a cooperative of leased artist studios east of downtown, Murphree continues to expand and advance her practice. The ceramicist’s latest creations interpret reverential, yet playful, nods to folk art traditions with modernist clarity. Yet she counters the continued refinement of her craft by exploring new and more complex conduits for clay, such as furniture, mirrors and lighting. Three years after committing to her craft full time, collectors are taking note (she’s looking forward to a solo show at Wedgewood-Houston’s Julia Martin Gallery this May). Capitalizing on recent experimentations with botanical motifs, Murphree hopes to soon add stone-carving and metalcasting to her repertoire. “I would love to see my work in a public art installation or sculpture garden,” reveals the artist, who embraces challenges that support her creative growth. “And I’d love to work with a major retailer; to bring my brand of weirdness to the masses.”

In her sunny Nashville studio, artist Keavy Murphree smooths the surface of stoneware clay using a dampened brush (opposite, left). On adjacent shelving, completed creations from her “Faces” series brandish unapologetic personalities (opposite, right). The dimpled figures (below), as well as the fully glazed and fired ones (bottom), represent a continuation of the artist’s earlier series, “Horny Beasts.”

Hometown Glory Blending past and present, a multifaceted Chattanooga residence embodies a timeless spirit for nostalgic owners. W R I T T E N BY M O N I Q U E M C I N T O S H | P H O T O G R A P H Y BY H E C T O R M A N U E L S A N C H E Z

Architecture and Interior Design: Laurel Powell, Laurel Powell Designs Home Builder: Kim L. Woods, Kim L. Woods Construction Inc.

Residential designer Laurel Powell established an old-world tone for this Chattanooga home beginning with its herringbone-patterned entry door by Haskel Sears Design & Construction. In the foyer, a directoire chair from Dinner Party Antiques mingles with a console skirted in Romo fabric. Bespoke blackened steel sconces by Black Sheep Forge flank the Uttermost mirror as a Visual Comfort chandelier suspends at center.

ome say you can never go home again; that the streets and faces of your past must inevitably evolve, making way for something new. That adage proved true for one couple who, after 30 years spent raising a family in Georgia, hatched plans to start their next chapter as empty nesters in the hometown they both share: Chattanooga, Tennessee. Among 19th-century brick buildings and tree-cloaked neighborhoods, they discovered the timeworn soul of their childhood stomping grounds intact. Over the decades, however, its urban core had blossomed from an industrial hub into a cosmopolitan city famed for its sparkling Riverwalk, merging waterfront nature trails with lively streets filled with arts and culture. After finding the perfect plot in a historic neighborhood near downtown, the owners recruited residential designer Laurel Powell to build from the ground up. The couple “was looking for their next home adventure, something a bit more creative,” says Powell, whose design—like Chattanooga itself—mixes novelty and nostalgia. “I wanted their house to feel as though it could have been built 100 years ago or yesterday,” she explains. “A place that would provide a feeling of excitement and awe, but at the same time, comfort.” From the beginning, the project struck a sentimental note, as the build reunited the couple with their old friend Kim L. Woods, the general contractor who constructed their first house in Georgia three decades earlier. Since then, “he became a very dear friend to us,” says the wife. “He’s a great builder and a good listener. We would never want anyone else to build our home.” Together, the design team focused on imbuing the new build with antique character, seen in steep rooflines reminiscent of English Tudor cottages and a curvaceous Cape Dutch-esque parapet crowning the garage. Inside, Powell conjured “that feeling you get walking into a small, historic chapel.” Exuding an old-world ecclesiastical feel, the foyer opens with a groin-vaulted arch that flows into luminous and convivial living spaces defined by cathedral ceilings and 15-foot-tall windows. “When you walk in, it’s like a sanctuary with all that light coming in,” the husband notes.

Skilled artisans were also enlisted to infuse the home with a 19th-century industrial quality that underscores the city’s architectural past. Referencing downtown Chattanooga’s aged brick buildings, Powell brought in decorative painters to weather the dwelling’s exterior brick with limewash and artful dabs of extra mortar “to make the masonry appear as if it has been patched and painted over time,” the designer says. Blackened metals also accent the interior, evident in aluminum-clad windows and iron display cabinets forged by a local blacksmith to complement the wife’s prized collection of pewter. While the architecture alludes to the past, the interior design transcends it, blurring traditional with contemporary. Slipcovers dissolve the formality of highback upholstery. Sumptuous rugs soften the solemnity of oak flooring, stained to resemble the European oiled wood the husband favors. The kitchen, meanwhile, is a study in unexpected contrasts, marrying stainless steel countertops with patinated materials like a leather-wrapped refrigerator and antiqued mirror glass. And reflecting the wife’s gothic art style, the residence showcases dark, enigmatic abstract works by local artists Addie Chapin and Cydney Parkes. Overall, a monochromatic palette of fresh whites and stormy grays informs the abode’s mercurial nature, shifting at will from bright and modern to moody and atmospheric. Throughout the project, Powell harmonized these diverse elements by way of repetition. The curved outlines of the Dutch-inspired parapet, for example, reappear throughout the home in scales great and small: the arched millwork dividing the living spaces, the silhouette of the kitchen island and the custom headboard Powell designed for the couple’s bedroom. So, too, does brick cultivate a sense of familiarity on the welcoming porch, adding warmth to its fireplace and floor. “I try to develop a visual language early in a project to create a consistent lens throughout the design,” Powell explains. “I truly believe the body feels that unity when you’re in a space.” For the couple’s return to Chattanooga, it feels like a second life. Combining the best aspects of the past with the things they’ve come to love over the decades, they created a present where memories can be made with those they cherish. Concludes the husband, “When the sunrise comes up over the Tennessee River, the light that fills our home is a daily reminder of everything we love most.”

The turquoise wool stair runner is from Eckard’s Flooring Design Center. Studio Printworks’ Le Temple des Grecs wallpaper graces the walls.

esigner Jon Green has the unique distinction of never having lived in a new house. Raised in an 18th-century residence near Boston, Green spent his adult life living in a 1920s-era dwelling in Houston and restoring historical homes elsewhere. Following the renovation of a Victorian house in West Virginia, he took on painter and naturalist John Audubon’s former studio: an 1820s New Orleans Creole cottage that earned Green and his partner, former furniture manufacturer David Longwood, a preservation award. So, when the couple recently relocated to Savannah, it likely surprised no one that an 1878 abode in the city’s downtown historic district became their new home. What might be surprising, however, is how well it accommodates the owners’ 21st-century lifestyle. Lured by its architectural charms, the pair was pleased to find the house boasted a few modern conveniences oft uncommon in a historical city like Savannah. “It had the historic aspect, along with features hard to come by downtown: a courtyard, plus a swimming pool and a twocar garage,” Green says. “Also, it’s Italianate in style, so it’s a little lower to the ground. It has only four steps up to the front door, which is nice.” Owing to the previous owner’s efforts, the biggest point of difference between this house and those the couple had worked on previously was the minimal alterations required. Aside from imparting their taste on the interiors and re-hardscaping the sheltered courtyard, the couple elected to renovate only the kitchen and the adjacent screened porch—a project hatched when a frequent collaborator and friend, residential designer Rogelio O. Carrasco, visited the pair in their new home. “After seeing the kitchen—knowing how much David cooks—and listening to their ideas about the screened porch, I spent one morning drawing up designs for both rooms,” recalls Carrasco, a burgeoning historical house specialist who worked with fellow residential designer Nadia Palacios Lauterbach to complete the plans. By removing the cinder block wall that separated the kitchen from the porch (which was, in turn, enclosed to make the breakfast room), Carrasco created

a generous and functional space for cooking, dining and entertaining—three activities Green and David enjoy frequently. The residential designer also conceived the kitchen’s classically styled cabinetry, including a sizable island. The latter, Green says, makes cooking a “delight”—which is a word that might be used to describe the entire renovation. “Rogelio and I have a nice building process; he throws out an idea, I improve upon it, then he improves it further. The result is very good,” says Green, who is equally complimentary of Josh Waters, the general contractor who worked closely with the local historic foundation to obtain approval for the home’s alterations. Adds the designer: “Josh did a beautiful job on everything.” Much like the kitchen overhaul, Green approached the interiors with respect for the house’s age and architectural style, but without getting too mired in tradition. “Being true to the architecture of the home is the bedrock of decorating,” states Green, who furnished most rooms with at least a few antiques—a gesture that not only reflects the hallmarks of the residence but also its Southern roots. At the same time, he adds, “I like to be in the modern world; I like modern art, accessories and comfort.” As avid collectors, the couple has displayed their contemporary cache prominently throughout the house, where its appearance alongside some of the rooms’ traditional-patterned wallpapers creates an appealing juxtaposition. Color was used to keep spaces from feeling stuck in the past. “I like a fresher look, so I whitewashed all the walls that I could, including those in the living and dining rooms,” says Green, who added more vibrant hues beginning with the entryway, where a turquoise stair runner is outlined in red, giving it zip. “Blue became our way to freshen the house and give it a clean look,” he adds. The dwelling’s most creative use of the color, however, graces one of its most unexpected new accoutrements: a custom steeland-glass china cabinet inspired by the bright cerulean, campaign-style entrance at Château de Malmaison: the French country home of Napoleon and Joséphine. Occupying the new breakfast area—a space bridging the old and new portions of the abode and leading to its lush, bluestone-laden courtyard—the arrangement is proof positive that when Green and David merge past and present, the results are dazzling.

Above: Drawn by residential designer Rogelio O. Carrasco and built by AWD of Savannah, Inc., the kitchen’s traditionally styled cabinetry was painted Farrow & Ball’s Stone Blue to add boldness and modernity. Made by Villa Lagoon Tile in Gulf Shores, Alabama, the custom-designed, turquoise encaustic wall tile is emblazoned with a gold star, a motif that reappears in the adjacent dining space. Opposite: The breakfast room lends views and access to the courtyard thanks to the steel-and-glass wall and door unit by DFM, which Green designed “to look like an addition but be compatible with the history of the house,” he says. The designer chose Schumacher’s Johnson Hartig for Libertine Modern Toile wallpaper in Yellow to highlight David’s collection of heirloom blue-and-white Delftware.

Right: The pantry houses Green and David’s sizable china collection, whose colors sing against walls and cabinetry painted Sherwin-Williams’ Garret Gray. The muted shade—selected by the previous homeowner—offers a pleasing color transition between the white dining room and blue kitchen, Green notes. Opposite: A proportional Hepplewhite-style table—crafted from a single board of mahogany by Art Welling of The Traditionalist in Taylors, South Carolina—helps to maximize the home’s narrow dining room. A large contemporary painting by Peter Sullivan, from McClain Gallery in Houston, accents one wall. The gold fillet trim along the ceiling is one of Green’s design trademarks.

In a guest bedroom, Green bordered an 18th-century reproduction wallpaper, Braquenié’s La Pannonie, with burgundy velvet trim. This crisp detail inspired the room’s other plummy complements, including a berry linen-covered Chelsea House bench and a pair of Fortuny pillows. DFM fabricated the bed, which is upholstered in blue Brunschwig & Fils damask and finished with nailhead accents.

Once part of a lane that ran alongside the house, the courtyard was re-hardscaped with bluestone from Scottish Stone Craft to create more usable outdoor living space, including this poolside retreat. Dedon’s Marrakesh coffee table, sofa and chairs form a comfortable setup beside plantings that include kumquat trees and gardenia transplanted from the grounds of a New Orleans cottage the owners restored previously.
