The Luxury Space
OCTOBER 2022 ISSUE
A few words from Tony Cutugno
“House for sale is a frequent sign. Home for sale, never.”
— Joyce Carol Oates
As Autumn approaches, we naturally tend to spend more time indoors. To me, it’s the perfect time to relax in front of the fire with a great book, especially this month’s selection, “Home: A Celebration,” by acclaimed designer Charlotte Moss. Filled with personal reflections on home by designers, artists, authors, and other notables, this entertaining collection aptly defines the difference between a house and a home.
And it’s all for a good cause. Inspired by Edith Wharton’s “The Book of the Homeless,” which benefitted WWI refugees, proceeds for this book support No Kid Hungry, which aids children living in food insecurity. The book holds added interest for me as well. During my career, I have met with many of the contributors, from author Andrew Solomon and singer/actress Bette Midler to artist Hunt Slonem, designer Kitty Hawks, and Ms. Moss herself. I hope you find these essays and the featured Private Brokerage properties on the following pages as inspiring as I did.

Through the lenses of their crafts and passions, each illustrious contributor presents an offering— either a personal text or work of art—on what home means to them. Historian Jon Meacham discusses books as the emotional infrastructure of the houses in his life. Photographer Oberto Gili documents the glorious garden at his property in northwest Italy. Chef Alice Waters proffers a recipe from her home garden. Interior designers— including Nina Campbell, Steven Gambrel, and Kelly Wearstler—share aspects of their profession that define home to them. Other notable pieces are from Joan Juliet Buck, Julian Fellowes, John Grisham, Jill Kargman, Joyce Carol Oates, and Gloria Steinem.
