From Les Arts de la Table to L’Art de Vivre The Refined Art of Living with THG When in the presence of remarkably well-crafted products, a euphoric feeling immediately overtakes the senses. A powerful sensation that’s substantial yet sensual, palpable yet difficult to define. The beauty, the craftsmanship, the sophistication – the qualities of these immaculate objects seem to transcend the everyday world, possessing a unique inner glow.

A true je ne sais quoi.

Few brands embody these traits like Lalique, DAUM, Baccarat, Christofle and Manufacture de Monaco; world-renowned ateliers with rich histories rooted in masterful and meticulous craftsmanship. These recognized brands leave no detail overlooked, creating products of the highest quality and splendor for the most discerning tastes. In the decorative hardware world, only one other company brings this same quality and sensuality to the bath: THG-Paris®.

Handcrafting exquisite faucets and accessories to the highest possible standards, THG’s artisans tool, cast, mold and finish each product using celebrated techniques passed down through generations.

Because of this fine legacy, THG is constantly on the search for ways to design products that resonate with their audience while communicating their distinctly understated elegance and sophistication. Oftentimes, THG’s collaborations begin with an idea from one of these distinguished brands. An exceptional detail, embellishment or design that inspires THG to craft it into a unique collection – and experience – for the home and bath. THG turns to these world class brands to help make their inspired creations, and in turn, these brands entrust THG with their reputations because they know only THG is capable of meeting their extraordinary standards.

Through luxury collaboration, THG has perfected the refined art of living – bringing opulence and artistry to fine baths everywhere.

Adorned with intricate lotus leaves and delicate palmettes, THG’s Malmaison translates this iconic Christofle pattern into pure artistry for the bath.

Christofle, the premier designer of French silver and decorative arts in jewelry, tableware and home accents, entrusts two of their most iconic patterns to THG.

THESE EXCLUSIVE PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH: HYDROLOGY 435 N. LASALLE STREET CHICAGO, IL 60654 312.832.9000 HYDROLOGYCHICAGO.COM

A bold work of artistry, Rose’s delicate DAUM crystal handles offer beautiful variations in color, with no two alike and each piece signed.

A finer example of THG’s meticulous crafting capabilities could not be better translated than with THG’s interpretation of Manufacture de Monaco’s iconic Alhambra pattern.

Monte Carlo incorporates 24 karat gold, porcelain and Swarovski® crystals to create this impeccable design for the bath.

With the official title of “Purveyor by the appointment of His Serene Highness the Prince of Monaco,” two new collections by THG were created in collaboration with the esteemed porcelain house Manufacture de Monaco.

DAUM, the legendary French art crystal atelier celebrated for its mastery of the pâte-deverre technique, uses a lost-wax method to make a mold for the sculptural elements incorporated into THG’s Rose.

The magic of Lalique crystal combines with the artistry of THG to create Dahlia, a seductive new design modeled after the famous Dahlia beauty box created by René Lalique in 1931.

Bearing the distinctive Baccarat imprint, Pétale de Cristal offers beautiful, deep colors in opulent crystal. Each translucent, lotus flower-shaped handle becomes a true bathroom jewel that could only be conceived by THG.

For more than a decade, THG has collaborated with Lalique, a brand internationally recognized for creating crystal objects d’art, jewelry and beautiful porcelain.

Baccarat is internationally renowned for their unparalleled quality, clarity and intense colors in crystal, and THG has translated this mastery flawlessly in numerous collaborations.

Both THG and Baccarat have been awarded the prestigious EPV Quality Label, illustrating that THG’s brand and standards are in perfect symmetry with the crystal atelier.

EDITORâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S LETTER

Five years into the new millennium, a small group of impassioned trailblazers set out to conquer design across the country. No easy feat for this band of outsiders. We plunged ourselves into design markets, from Texas and Chicago to Los Angeles, Miami and New York. Editors were deployed to scout projects; stylists were tweaking and polishing; architectural photographers snapping. Whew! We were productive, launching markets, publishing projects and networking.

On behalf of the editorial team, we hope that you enjoy this celebratory issue of Luxe Interiors + Design. On to another exciting decade aheadâ&#x20AC;Ś

memo KATHLEEN MITCHELL PUBLISHER

Luxe Interiors + Design continues to connect with industry leaders through various events. We recently celebrated the opening of the Rug Art International showroom, where guests engaged in a conversation with owners Vidal and Sigal Sasson. In addition, we attended the opening exhibition of Laurel H. Feldman’s photography at the Henredon showroom in The Merchandise Mart; Laurel was a gracious host, sharing the stories behind her art. We then joined brokers from Coldwell Banker Previews International and our industry partners to view the beautiful Harbor County homes along Lake Michigan. We also received a first look at a magnificently reconstructed home by Middlefork Development and enjoyed an evening with an engaging panel discussion on design trends and the luxury market.

CONTRIBUTORS

BEHIND THE SCENES GET TO KNOW A FEW OF OUR CONTRIBUTORS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS THEY TALK ALL THINGS DESIGN. PRODUCED BY SARAH RAMIREZ

TERRI SAPIENZA

Writer / Washington, D.C. If I had a spare $20,000…

I would use the money for a down payment on a small beach cottage.

Favorite Luxe interview? My conversation with Arizona- and Chicago-based designer Kim Scodro about her own house was a total treat. She was so genuine and funny, plus very knowledgeable about design. I could have talked to her for hours—I think I did! What is your biggest creative influence? Travel. Stepping away from what I see and do everyday opens my eyes and reawakens my senses in ways that are always meaningful and necessary. Most exciting thing happening in design today? I’m always motivated by people who have the courage to take risks in order to do or create something they believe in. Whatever it is they do, it’s usually done with such passion that it ends up making a lot of other people happy, too.

Photographer / New York

What’s intriguing you now in the world of photography? The ergonomics of professional and consumer cameras coming out onto the market. I think that there needs to be more thought that goes into them beyond the science and technology, such as how they can be more thoughtfully designed tools that are functional, fluid and efficient. If you could shoot anywhere in the U.S., where would it be?

Buffalo, New York, in the summertime. It has incredible architecture from such amazing talents as Frank Lloyd Wright and Eliel Saarinen that I would love to shoot.

I would also like to wander past all the old industrial buildings and dream up what I could turn them into.

What type of architecture inspires you the most?

There are so many fresh designers that are creating interesting architecture and interiors in Barcelona while still holding true to the history and authenticity of what makes the city what it is. It’s always a tough balance and they are doing a fine job at it.

COM4_Contributors_094.indd 94

CLAUDIA URIBE

Photographer / Miami

If I could photograph anything… It would be the vanishing tribes of the world. What inspires you?

I love midcentury modern, with a little wabi-sabi thrown in for its simplicity and use of natural objects and processes. Top three items on your design wish list: I would love to own a Serge Mouille lamp, a throw by Loro Piana or an Easy chair by Hans J. Wegner. Most memorable Luxe shoot? I really like working on the stories for the Radar section. The jewelry shoot I did last year turned out gorgeous!

TARYN BICKLEY Writer / Chicago

Most memorable Luxe interviews? Christiane Lemieux, founder of DwellStudio, and New York artist Jenna SnyderPhillips, whose work I would love to hang in my powder room someday. Writer who has deeply influenced you? Helen Fielding. Her early columns in The Independent as fictional Bridget Jones were incredible; her single thirty-something diatribe is so profound and perfect that I still laugh out loud and agree, even as a smug married woman. What do you enjoy most about design? Nothing makes me happier than sitting in a hotel room by London-based Firmdale Hotels. Co-owner Kit Kemp’s mix of prints and textures, and the play of old and new, is completely inspiring. Someday, I hope to rehab a Chicago brownstone with all these compounding lyrical elements.

DEFINING MOMENTS OVER THE COURSE OF A DECADE, DESIGN TRENDS DEVELOP AND SWAY THE MANNER IN WHICH WE LIVE. AS LUXE INTERIORS + DESIGN CELEBRATES ITS 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY, WE LOOK BACK AT THE FORCES THAT TOOK HOLD AND HELPED FASHION THE AMERICAN DESIGN LANDSCAPE. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY CARA GIBBS AND ARLYN HERNANDEZ

HONEST ARCHITECTURE MATERIAL PALETTES

Architecture has always been the piece of the design puzzle that serves as the foundation for any next-level home and shapes how it is lived in. Contemporary elements (think glass and steel) have long been go-to mediums in the construction world for sleek façades, but honest, stripped-down materials—concrete, salvaged wood, rammed earth—are the new heroes of high-end residential architecture.

“The effect of board-formed concrete is stunning because it is typically thought of as functional with no aesthetic giveback. I love the idea of taking a temporal material like wood and freezing it in time.”

“SIMPLE, NATURAL MATERIALS IN ARCHITECTURE ARE AMONG THE MOST LUXURIOUS AND CONNECT US TO SOMETHING LARGER THAN OURSELVES.” -KEVIN LICHTEN ARCHITECT AND PARTNER, LICHTEN CRAIG ARCHITECTURE + INTERIORS

PHOTO: BILL TIMMERMAN.

-BLAZE MAKOID ARCHITECT, BLAZE MAKOID ARCHITECTURE

Photo: Arizona-based architect Wendell Burnette conceived this structural tour de force, meticulously erected by The Construction Zone in Scottsdale. The home's exterior features rammed-earth walls and a Cor-Ten steel roof, and took nearly a decade to complete.

RADAR / BIG IDEAS

“I’D CALL THIS PAST 10 YEARS ‘THE DECADE OF REDISCOVERY.’ MIDCENTURY MODERN IS ALIVE AND WELL, AND I THINK IT IS A PRODUCT OF LOOKING BACK TO A PERIOD WHEN AMERICA APPEARED TO BE STRONG AND HAPPY. BUT I PERSONALLY LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE 1960S—DAVID HICKS, ANGELO DONGHIA, PACO RABANNE.”

BACK to the FUTURE METALLICS / RETRO

What once was old is most certainly new again, as designers are paying homage to past decades and ushering in nostalgic silhouettes and retro finishes into modern day. Shag rugs, brass accents and chrome detailing are at home with coveted pieces

by Saarinen, van der Rohe and Baughman.

Vintage-meets-modern is the name of the game for the new luxury interior.

-JOHN IKE ARCHITECT AND PARTNER, IKE KLIGERMAN BARKLEY

“Metallics are the new neutral.

They're the new transitional look; not modern, not traditional.”

“I’M OBSESSED WITH ’70S DESIGN. MY CHILDHOOD HOME WAS FILLED WITH CHROME, GLASS…THAT WHOLE HALSTONESQUE APPROACH. DESIGN IN THAT DECADE WAS GLAMOROUS, IMAGINATIVE AND THOROUGHLY MODERN. IT WASN’T THE LEAST BIT DERIVATIVE LIKE THE DECADE THAT FOLLOWED.” -DARA CAPONIGRO CREATIVE DIRECTOR, SCHUMACHER

-SUSAN FELDMAN COFOUNDER, ONE KINGS LANE

What is it that makes an interior worthy of a second glance? Fearlessness. The last decade has come to be defined as one that has seen a resurgence in daring interiors; ones built around explosions of color, pattern on pattern, one-of-a-kind furnishings, rugs and artifacts. These design elements lend personal narratives to the spaces they inhabit, infusing a unique, spirited thumbprint.

DESIGN gets PERSONAL

“We live in a world today where what was private is now public.

The home has become another way for individuals to express themselves and no one wants their house to look like their friend’s.”

RADAR / FASHION STATEMENT

OFF THE RUNWAY

STRADDLING THE WORLDS OF INTERIORS AND FASHION, NEW YORK INTERIOR DESIGNER RYAN KORBAN EXPLAINS THE INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY CARA GIBBS PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROBYN TWOMEY

COM4_RadarRyanKorban_114.indd 114

For many interior designers, working with a fashion brand is the ultimate feat—an opportunity to flex creative muscles not often sculpted in the shelter realm. But for interior designer Ryan Korban, fashion is where he first cut his design teeth. “In a sense, fashion was my first client,” he explains of his early days designing in retail. “It was my job to design around it yet not interrupt it.”

The self-taught designer quickly turned industry heads with one übercool space after another and his modern-romantic aesthetic soon caught the eye of one famed fashion designer in particular: Alexander Wang. “It’s such an easy working relationship,” says Korban, who has become synonymous with Wang for their wildly successful collaborations over the past 10 years—from his many storefronts to his own home. “I think the best part of our collective work is that we both consistently strive for bigger and better in every project we undertake.” This commitment to greatness has resulted in a deeper understanding for Korban on the effects each industry has on the

other. “It’s always been important that I understand fashion in order to create interiors where fashion can thrive,” says the designer. “I think people are really starting to grasp the notion that a space can be put together in the same way an outfit is selected.” To that point, fashion houses are now looking to interiors, as “architecture and furniture silhouettes are proving to be huge influences for their brand,” expounds Korban.

He further asserts, “designers whose aesthetics are based in minimalism—Jil Sander, Céline, Balenciaga—often turn to interior structures as a source of research.” And though runway collections appear to move at light speed in comparison to interior debuts, the fashion industry is largely dependent on the design world to support their lines. “These days you need to have a well-defined environment to act as an extension of the lifestyle you are selling,” states Korban.

Suffice it to say, the synergy between fashion and interiors seems to be an ever-growing one that will continue to elevate each to the next level.

NAMES TO KNOW

DAVID

JOHN DICK & KRISTA SCHROCK Los Angeles | discinteriors.com

WHY WE LOVE THEM: This design duo conceives spaces that reflect their SoCal surroundings—calm, refined and textured.

Each space has a clear point of view, utilizing the natural materials and of-the-earth color palettes they’ve become known for.

LUXE PRESENTS THE TALENTED FRESH DESIGNERS WHO ARE COMMANDING OUR ATTENTION.

In their words: “Always looking to nature as inspiration, we fantasize about designing an inn in Big Sur high on a cliff with views of the treetops and the ocean. We love the idea of creating interiors that age well over time, and that are united with nature.”

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY LACY MORRIS

CATHERINE KWONG

San Francisco | catherinekwong.com WHY WE LOVE HER: Recognized for her use

of strong graphic elements and a rich color palette, Catherine Kwong’s interiors are elegant, tailored and, though modern and glamorous, still distinctly livable.

▲ FRANCES

MERRILL

Los Angeles | reathdesign.com

WHY WE LOVE HER: Frances Merrill’s designs are a study in sophistication without being too stuffy. Her interiors are marked with a bit of East Coast prep blended seamlessly with a laid-back California vibe, all characterized with layered textures and lively color.

In her words: “My dream project would be to renovate the Topanga Ranch Motel. It is a cottage-style building built in the 1920s to house the road workers expanding the Pacific Coast Highway. It operated as a motel until the state bought it in 2001 and has been empty ever since.

I would love to restore it into a 1930s/’40s California-style home, like a location from a Raymond Chandler novel.”

MEGAN WINTERS

Chicago | meganwinters.com

WHY WE LOVE HER: Grounded in an element of high style, Megan Winters layers bold color palettes with elegant yet glamorous and edgy furnishings.

Her fearless compositions are often characterized by whimsical nods and a flawless mix of vintage and modern.

In her words: “The best advice I have ever received is to live life to the fullest, work hard, follow your passion and always, without exception and regardless of cost, do the right thing. In business and life there are absolutes in integrity. Don’t ever let anyone convince you otherwise.”

COM_LX4_Radar_FreshFaces_116-118.indd 116

▲ BRIAN

PAQUETTE

Seattle | brianpaquetteinteriors.com

WHY WE LOVE HIM: Embracing all things outdoors, Brian Paquette’s aesthetic encompasses what the Pacific Northwest is all about: a sense of adventure. His designs utilize lots of layering, clean lines and a thoughtful use of organic color.

In his words: “I am constantly inspired by the work of others in the industry, whether that be interior designers, furniture and lighting designers, textile makers, artists, ceramicists or photographers. I am only as good as the people I surround myself with and there is some really thoughtful and next-level work being done here in Seattle.”

DICK & SCHROCK PHOTO: D. GILBERT. MERRILL PHOTO: ANDRE VIPPOLIS. PAQUETTE PHOTO: BELATHEE. WINTERS PHOTO: WERNER STRAUBE. KWONG PHOTO: BESS FRIDAY.

In her words: “My biggest design complaint is when there are too many statement pieces crowded into one space; it starts to dilute the effect. It’s all about layering in the elements to speak to each other in a cohesive way so that the interiors maintain a sense of balance.”

ANDEE

HESS

Portland | osmosedesign.com

WHY WE LOVE HER: From sleek, minimal and modern to rustic and relaxed with lots of natural woods, Andee Hess’ designs are hard to pin down. This varied aesthetic is something she equates to design being like storytelling, and that not everyone’s stories are the same.

In her words: “I like to take on projects that pose new challenges; there is always so much to investigate and discover. However, residential work is always fascinating to me, as I’m entering someone else’s world and, with that, all of their expectations.”

PATRICK MELE

New York | patrickmele.com WHY WE LOVE HIM: Patrick Mele’s bold use of graphic color and prints has earned him an avid following. Both relaxed and refined, his rooms feel as if they could have always been there, loved and lived-in.

PALOMA CONTRERAS

Houston | palomacontreras.com

In his words: “Whether it’s during trips abroad, through books or articles I read or from those that have come before me, there are individuals whose talent, curiosity and contribution astound me. This is what drives me forward.”

WHY WE LOVE HER: Keeping with tradition,

Paloma Contreras seeks out classic silhouettes and timeless pieces, mixing them in a modern arrangement. Though polished and refined, expect pops of color with a bit of glam.

In her words: “I would love to design a winery or residence in Napa Valley—one of my favorite places in the world. It embodies effortless, chic American style; laid-back but sophisticated, pared down yet completely luxurious. There’s a great balance of the two worlds unlike anything I have experienced anywhere else.”

BROWN

Birmingham | andrewbrowninteriors.com

CALEB

ANDERSON

New York | calebandersondesign.com

WHY WE LOVE HIM: One to take risks, Caleb Anderson’s creations

are eclectic and curious yet polished, and often his spaces have an element of surprise or a moment of the avant-garde.

In his words: “I would love to restore a large historic house with solid bones and interesting architecture. I would curate the rooms with antiques and modern elements and create a magnificent garden. I am fascinated not just for these homes’ architectural characteristics, but also for the intrigue of their history.”

COM_LX4_Radar_FreshFaces_116-118.indd 118

WHY WE LOVE HIM: Andrew Brown creates spaces that have history and that feel well-traveled and collected with texture and depth. With a lean toward clean lines in a classic, high-contrast color palette, expect a seamless interweaving of styles and eras in his designs—old and new, masculine and feminine, simple and ornate.

In his words: “I’m very curious by nature and am always intrigued by the history behind things. I travel a lot, which keeps my eyes open to new possibilities. In design, I try to look at everything in a different way—my mind is always thinking in terms of how to reinterpret the objects that I see that inspire me.”

RADAR / FUTURE OF DESIGN Stephen Burks, of Stephen Burks Man Made, in his new Brooklyn-based design studio. He’s currently working on collections for Dedon, Parachilna and Roche Bobois, as well as his brand’s participation in this year’s Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture in China and The Armory Show in New York for 2016.

WORLD AFFAIRS

For decades, international design has almost exclusively referenced a European sensibility.

But I’m interested in a more inclusive approach that considers other world cultures. In the early days of my career, I looked at travel as purely for inspiration. Once I began visiting the so-called more exotic regions of the world and creating with the people there, however, travel grew to be just as important an aspect of my designs as sketching. Going to places like Colombia, the Philippines and Senegal has become an inextricable part of my process and life.

My work with various artisan groups started when I was sought out by nonprofits like Aid To Artisans and Artesanías de Colombia to be a design consultant. But as I started to understand

MASTER OF THE HANDCRAFTED-INDUSTRIAL MIX, STEPHEN BURKS TALKS AUTHENTICITY, GLOBAL CULTURES AND THE FUTURE OF DESIGN. AS TOLD TO JESSE BRATTER / PHOTOGRAPHY BY NOAH KALINA

the role that commerce could play in benefitting these craftsmen, my manufacturing partners and I began to seek them out. I found my Senegalese basket-weaving artisans, for example, at a street fair in New York City’s West Village, and my long-term relationship with them has now included several collaborative trips to Africa to produce the Single and Triple Basket lamps and Material Composition 3 totem.

This desire to return to handmade objects is becoming more widespread, and I believe that luxury in the 21st century will be defined by more appropriate expressions of authentic craftsmanship. However, as luxury brands move into new markets, they’re increasingly introduced to new interpretations of what that

means, and of technique and luxury itself.

Authenticity shouldn’t be thought of as a marketing ingredient that can just be added to a production formula; it’s about being true to the culture of the product’s origin.

But there are always clever ways to combine the hand with industry; in fact, it’s the coming together of industrial manufacturing and handmade craftsmanship, two seemingly disparate modes of production, that is inherently contemporary and innovative.

And with this new partnership, the role of designer is shifting, as he or she is becoming a collaborator for change. The designer of the future will be at the center of every discussion of new ideas and social progress.

“I love local artist and designer Linc Thelen’s work. His use of color, shape and often real-life images create beautiful pieces of abstract art. I recently commissioned a painting for a client, and it completely transformed his space and brought life to all of the selections we had previously made.”

“Hands down, one of my greatest resources is art consultant Daniel Kinkade. I provide the size, budget and style of the project, and he sends over a PDF of varying artists’ works that perfectly match the design aesthetic. He has worldwide connections that make our design projects even more amazing.”

BLUEPRINT VISTA TOWER

Once the Vista Tower—an ambitious new project by Magellan Development Group and the Wanda Group—is finished come 2020, it will be the third-largest building in Chicago, standing a commanding 1,100 feet tall with more than 1.8 million square feet of space. Meaning: The skyline will forever be altered. Vertically, the building sits as three attached towers, each gradually stepping down in scale to maximize views of the city and river below. This unique architecture ensures that there will be multiple column-free corner units on each of the 93 stories, which will be used as both luxury condominiums and a 158-room hotel. Looking in from the outside, a subtle gradient to the exterior glazing will create a wave-like visual element unique to the city. vistatowerchicago.com

When did you open? We welcomed our first guests at 2321 W. North Avenue in December 2014. Why Wicker Park? In the past, the neighborhood was full of artists, and even through gentrification, the individualist mentality remains. It’s also home to many other one-of-a-kind boutiques and eateries; creating a shop that has a handcurated feel just seemed like a natural fit. Describe the space. Everything we carry is minimal, neutral in color and overtly androgynous. The space itself plays right into the aesthetic of the products with its exposed brick walls, high ceilings, white walls and built-in white shelving, as well as metal-legged tables and pops of lively green plants. On the floor? We carry an amazing selection of ceramics and items for the home, in addition to apothecary, leather goods, jewelry, books and accessories for men and women. Our mission has always been to support small makers and stock our shelves with as many independent goods as we can. gatherhomeandlifestyle.com

DATE BOOK DANIEL KELLEGHAN

Born-and-raised Chicagoan Daniel Kelleghan does nearly everything: He’s a photographer/model/entrepreneur. But at the root of it all lies his passion for photography. “I got started shooting photos in high school,” he muses, recalling how the photos he shot of his friends riding BMX bikes ended up published in some of the largest extreme sports magazines. Moving on, Kelleghan became interested in fashion and portraiture, eventually working with big-name brands such as Audi, MasterCard and Lacoste. His status as a social media star began with Instagram—check out @dkelleghan for stunning interiors or architectural shots of Chicago—which helped launch his career even further. “It’s the perfect platform for a photographer,” says Kelleghan. So, when it comes to an ideal day in the Windy City, this manabout-town with a keen eye for design is the perfect courier. Here, he delves on his Chicago must-sees. danielkelleghan.com 9 a.m. Come on by my studio to hang out and enjoy some freshly brewed and local Metropolis coffee from my Chemex coffeemaker.

10 a.m. Go for a walk down 18 th Street in the Pilsen neighborhood and grab a juice at Belli’s Juicebar; it sources everything locally and from farmers in the Midwest.

10:30 a.m. Stop in next door at Modern Cooperative and check out the midcentury modern furniture and vintage, reclaimed accessories they have on display. The store also has a lot of pieces from local artists.

11:30 a.m. Keep strolling along the lakefront around the museum campus; it offers some of the best views of Chicago’s skyline.

12:30 p.m. Stop by for lunch at The Winchester. I’m pretty traditional in terms of what I eat, but they have excellent avocado toast. If you want something heartier and don’t mind backtracking, head to the La Vaca Margarita Bar in Pilsen. It is my most frequently visited restaurant in Chicago—their tacos and margaritas are absolutely unmatched.

2 p.m. It’s time for some windowshopping in Wicker Park and Bucktown. Places to see include Shinola, Myopic Books, Mildblend Supply Co., Interior Define, Salvage One and Dial M for Modern. And, to refuel after all that, I recommend Buzz: Killer Espresso. I find that I make people consume more coffee than they can probably handle.

5 p.m. Next, up to Andersonville to check out Norcross & Scott, my new favorite spot to pick up home goods.

They have a really well-curated selection of hard-to-find pieces. Also in the area is design store Scout and menswear store Notre. They both carry really rare brands and all of the staff members are awesome. I bet you saw this coming: Get some more coffee at The Coffee Studio.

7 p.m. Dinnertime! Stay in Andersonville because you really can’t go wrong at either Acre or Hopleaf. They’re both incredible choices.

8:30 p.m. A trip to the Near North Side wouldn’t be complete without some jazz at The Green Mill; it was one of Al Capone’s favorite spots, and it’s one of mine, too.

These remarkable, original works of art by Post-Impressionist master Hugues Claude Pissarro are perfect examples of this virtuoso’s command of light and color. Much like his grandfather, the great Impressionist Camille Pissarro, Hugues Claude’s use of swift, short brushstrokes combine to create the most entrancing and desirable landscapes of the 20th century.

MARY WALLIS LIGHTING DESIGNER MARYWALLIS.COM

First Impression: Substantial, modular, biomimicry, symbolic, meticulous. Artistry: Erinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work preserves fragile, found-in-nature forms in bronze: beetles, feathers and snakes are all frozen forever in time. These organic elements are combined with geometric patterns distilled from biology, ancient symbols and precise modern shapes to create a collection with references that span centuries.

Material: The polished-brass base is very satisfying; I respond to the honesty of the material. Luxury: When the bespoke nature of the piece is evident, that is luxury.

Time-Honored: These bookends seem like they could be from the ancient world. I can see this collection in a glamorous foyer or library.

First Impression: Simplistic, harmonious, teasing, light, elegant. Staying Power: Calvin Klein has managed to create interesting variations on traditional home pieces, elevating their elegance while keeping a level of simplicity that allows for each piece to complement a variety of styles. Form + Function: The juxtaposition between the glass and stone materials, while repeating the same square form within both, produces a gradation of transparency to opaque. Ethos: Playfulness brings a humanistic element to a design. Without it, the simplicity would feel sterile.

Found: This table should live somewhere the light would constantly change, showing off the transparent levels of the base.

JUAN GARCIA MOSQUEDA SHOP OWNER CHAMBERNYC.COM

First Impression: Irregular, solid, man-made, cozy, precious. Finishing Touch: The glossy brass finish and textured exterior create a dialogue between the inside and out.

Construction: Nested inside one another, the irregular shapes resemble something that comes from nature but is flecked with a human touch—a human intervention rooted in exceptional craftsmanship. Chances Are: Risk leads to great, unexpected results.

It’s a fascinating way to ideate innovative products. Here, the experimentation within the applied arts led to a successful outcome that feels very natural, like part of the same visual language. Lasting Impact: People will look at these objects 100 years from now in museums and learn about our current lifestyle and contemporary human behavior.

It’s these types of pieces that will eventually transcend time.

First Impression: Complementary, elegant, quiet, expressive, balanced. Show + Tell: Every designer’s creative process is wildly different. It is difficult to look at a final piece and know how someone has arrived there.

The object will always possess phantoms of the process, but if a work is successful (like here) there is also something that has not entirely been revealed, something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Mark of Success: Balance achieved via imbalance.

Memory: Ten years ago I was traveling on the Trans-Siberian Railway and there was an incredibly beautiful woman that left behind an Art Deco hairpin similar to this fixture. I keep it with my drafting pencils.

Forward-Thinking: It’s not easy to take something old and make it new, but for Designers Guild, that art seems effortless. In this collection, traditional motifs and contemporary palettes draw from the past—enlivening designs in a way that feels fresh and transformative.

Work of Art: These prints don’t feel like fabric but rather painted compositions—as if Monet stopped by the studio to whip up some designs. Instant Classic: Each hand-painted fabric is quick to become an heirloom of tomorrow. That’s often the benefit of a one-of-a-kind piece, especially one that puts whimsy front and center.

LAURA AVIVA

SHOP OWNER AND PRODUCT DESIGNER LAVIVAHOME.COM

First Impression: Hand-touched, spirited, bold, evocative, regal. Composition: I love how these chairs play with form and proportion, most especially in their exaggerated torsos that reveal a soft, matte finish on the maple.

Muse: Anna Karlin artfully navigates the design process in such an incredibly fluid way without relegating what she does to a specific discipline.

Working with this dynamic interdisciplinary approach, she really hones the definition of what it means to create and to be a creative.

Storytelling: While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly true that these chairs exude a modern silhouette, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also something nostalgic about them. They generate an emotional response and prevail a connection to objects in a compelling way.

Since its launch in 2008, Middlefork Development has distinguished itself by developing family-centric homes that embrace classical elegance and create enduring value. The Chicago-based design-build firm creates each unique residence upon the premise that “heirloom rather than trophy” always prevails. As a result, a Middlefork-designed and built home is as practical as it is aesthetically beautiful. Andrew Bowyer, Middlefork Development’s president, expounds on his award-winning firm’s creative processes and inspiration.

“I tend to look to traditional, classical architecture as a reference point. I believe the underlying order, rules and proportions present in classical architecture are still relevant and assist in the creation of very comfortable spaces,” he says. “Fortunately, the principles of classical architecture can be used as a foundation for a more contemporary home that is responsive to the needs of today’s family. We can create open, kid-friendly spaces that are also elegantly designed and proportioned, and which also serve as stunning backdrops for living and entertaining.” To date, the company’s luxurious single-family homes— primarily located in premier residential neighborhoods such as Lincoln Park, Lakeview and the North Shore— remain on the market for less than a month. In fact, 22 days is the average for a Middlefork home to be on the market, assuming the home has not pre-sold during the construction phase. The success of the firm’s speculative homes has propelled the company into the upper echelon of Chicago builders. In 2013, the company expanded into the high-end custom home market, working extensively with clients to program, design and construct their dream homes. “As long as Middlefork can create a product that generates value, and is a strong investment for the homeowner, the model will continue to grow and evolve,” Bowyer says.

1 North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 312.214.0400 abowyer@middleforkcapital.com middleforkcapital.com

“Looking to the rules of classical architecture, and interpreting those rules for today’s requirements, results in architecture that will still be relevant and enchanting in 100 years.”

–Andrew Bowyer President

Q+A What led you to your current profession?

In 2008, with the bust of the housing market, I saw an opportunity to combine my business and creative backgrounds into a career developing luxury residential architecture. Analyses showed that luxury buyers were still buying, but had limited inventory from which to choose. As a result, I decided to take a risk and jumped into the development market.

What do you strive to create when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on a project?

Timeless, bespoke architecture that offers well-proportioned, familyoriented spaces enveloped in elegant and luxurious finishes.

What are you working on next?

We are excited about 1734 N. Mohawk, which is under construction.

It is reminiscent of the classic, turn-of-the-century greystones still found on streets such as Astor and Dearborn. It will have a stately, limestone façade with a transitional-style interior.

MATERIAL MAGIC

SILVER AND GOLD ARE MORE THAN HOLIDAY MAINSTAYS: THESE RICH METALS ARE BRINGING SPARKLE TO THE HOME’S POWERHOUSE ROOMS ALL YEAR-ROUND. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

There’s a reason why materials like silver and gold are such sought-after options in the worlds of fine jewelry and art: The metals are as practical as they are beautiful—their patented shimmer and shine as powerful a statement as their longevity. So, it makes sense that as the kitchen and bathroom become more and more like proper gems in the center of the homes they inhabit, that designers and architects alike would begin to implement a bit of similar material magic into their designs—a wonderfully sculptural knob in hand-cast bronze in the bath or a ribbon of brass inlaid into a complicated tile pattern on a backsplash. Here, we borrow the best of bling to celebrate kitchens and baths that are both high functioning and high fashion.

HAUTE DISH CAITLIN MURRAY

Los Angeles-based interior designer Caitlin Murray uses big doses of high-gloss brass and emerald to transform an entertainment-friendly kitchen into a moody, modern masterpiece that is huge on style. blacklacquerdesign.com Share your vision for this enviable space.

The client is young and hip and works in tech, so my partner at the time, Caitlin McCarthy of Caitlin McCarthy Design, and I felt like there was a wonderful opportunity to do something fun and out there. When we found the color for the cabinets— Benjamin Moore’s Chrome Green—we knew we had exactly what we were looking for. It informed everything we did.

Favorite thing about this showstopping kitchen?

I love the edgy black Marquina marble and the way that the material interacts with the other elements in the space, like the lacquered brass and the rich green of the cabinets. The resulting combination just reads as really luxurious and incredibly bold. Everything about this kitchen was designed to stand out, and that’s what it does.

Why did you opt for brass fixtures and hardware?

We didn’t want to do anything that was expected, and I think using chrome or polished nickel would have been pretty, for sure, but more subtle than what we wanted to achieve.

The lacquered brass, on the other hand, is super dramatic and reads so perfectly with the color story in the space that I’m not sure the kitchen would feel as balanced without it.

For tile manufacturer New Ravenna Mosaic’s latest offering—the Parterre collection—the company got personal, tasking its consumers with fl exing their creative muscles thanks to the line’s endless possibilities for customization. When designers Sara Baldwin and Paul Schatz began developing the designs, they wanted to create surfaces with the flexibility to encourage tile lovers to leave their mark, so the 18 laser-cut variations they crafted allow them to substitute natural stone with Serenity glass, shell, ceramic and even aluminum to build unique combinations for bathrooms that are as individual as the people who inhabit them. newravenna.com

While its $45,000 price tag ensures the piece is as exclusive a showpiece as you can imagine for the bath, truly it is the bathtub’s creamy color and dreamy gray veining that makes it a real standout.

According to Tamara Kaye-Honey, the designer responsible for this pretty Southern California room, this change is only natural. “There’s a lovely patina that comes from working with materiels like unlacquered brass,” she says. “Plus, when paired with white, the palette is soothing while also feeling fresh and modern.”

On the following page, interior talents from across the country share their favorite golden-hued spaces from their own design portfolios.

“BRINGING IN BRASS IN SMALL TOUCHES IS A GREAT WAY TO INTRODUCE WARMTH AND CLASS TO AN OTHERWISE SIMPLE SPACE.”

“THE BRASS MIRROR WORKS GREAT WITH THE OIL-RUBBED BRONZE HERE. I PREFER TO MIX AND MATCH. IT MAKES THINGS LOOK SO MUCH MORE AUTHENTIC.” -LINDSEY CORAL HARPER, lchinteriors.com

“There’s more of a story to a space that uses brass instead of chrome or stainless steel. Brass adds a maturity and history to any room.”

-RYAN WHITE, ryanwhitedesigns.com

Clockwise from top left: The team at House of Jade Interiors struck a winning combination in this bathroom by pairing brass-framed mirrors from One Kings Lane with pendants from Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co. The Waterworks vanity, faucet, mirror and floor tile in this midcentury-inspired bathroom by Ryan White all contribute to the space’s timeless look; the sconces are from Circa Lighting. In this powder room by Lindsey Coral Harper, the vintage mirror from Mrs. Howard is a true standout against the teal Farrow & Ball wallpaper; the onyx countertop is from R.G. New York Tile.

AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE TRENDS, TIPS AND TRICKS THAT HELP INFUSE A HOME WITH COLOR. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

SHADE SPECIFIC Although neutral living has dominated the home space for quite some time, tried-and-true hues like cream, white and gray have found themselves with some major competition. As homeowners are veering away from playing it safe and toward having more fun in interiors, they’re turning to color to create one-of-a-kind retreats. Whether it’s a bright injection of hue on a well-curated selection of pattern-happy pillows or bold walls painted in a can’t-look-away shade, color is taking center stage. Here, we check in with some of the nation’s top talents on the best ways to bring happy hues home.

With all the many paint manufacturers and cleverly named swatches to choose from, the hunt for the perfect hue can prove to be difficult. From light and airy to rich and saturated, our most coveted colors are ones that are both easy to live with and that beg guests to take notice.

Here, we share the covetable shades that have been making the most appearances on our design dream boards recently.

TURN IT UP Jill Goldberg, founder of Hudson Interior Designs in Boston, goes beyond the pale, literally, as she shares her fail-proof philosophy for designing with color.

Do you have a go-to shade? There’s absolutely nothing better, in my opinion, than a vibrant, Hermès-y orange. It’s my favorite color, and I love to mix it in with lots of lovely greens and blues for maximum effect. Typically, my ideal palette is one that incorporates both a warm and a cool color.

Best rooms for big color? Give me a small room, and I’ll give you big, bold pattern

COM_LX4_TheReport_194-201.indd 196

and plenty of color. Tiny spaces mean you don’t have to go overboard and fill them with a lot of furniture that’s eventually going to compete with your palette, so they feel more balanced and exciting to me.

Share your formula for a room with look-at-me color that doesn’t overwhelm. There’s no perfect equation, of course, but I always try to start with a singular pattern or fabric that brings all the colors I’m dreaming of together.

Then, I pull the shades I like out of it— introducing them onto the draperies, trim, carpet and contrast welts throughout the room. hudsoninteriordesigns.com

HITTER

Yellow can be a bit of a gamble in the design world; the notoriously difficult shade is tricky to work with thanks to its multitude of undesirable undertones.

Designer Chenault James of Columbus, Georgia, however, has it all figured out, as evidenced in this soft and sophisticated entry foyer. “As long as I gravitate toward a strong school bus yellow, the color always works for me,” she says. “It’s my favorite shade because it’s crisp and clear and doesn’t feel muddy or weighed down.” chenaultjames.com

STYLED TO IMPRESS Bringing in color through accessories is one of Atlanta-based designer Jessica Walmsley’s favorite ways to fill a room with warmth and personality. And this pretty dining space makes it easy to see why introducing them is so effective, especially when they’re paired with funky patterns and elegant prints. “Accessories, like blue-andwhite porcelain, for example, are the icing on the cake and, other than fabric, are my favorite part of the process,” she explains.

“They make a room feel layered and lived-in.” jessicawalmsleyinteriors.com

ALL IN

Although this Miami living room by designer Robert Passal is not for the faint of heart, who wants to be faint of heart anyway? With just about every color of the rainbow present and accounted for, this space does more than pay lip service to the city’s Art Deco origins, and all of the vibrant, framed artwork ties the look together with all the mastery of Picasso. robertpassal.com

A cool take on preppy painted furniture pieces, Bungalow 5’s Marco collection features a line of case goods categorized by its crisp silhouettes upholstered in rich, textural grass cloth. The nautical navy hue of the large cabinet showcased here looks especially chic when paired with the piece’s handsome gold nailheads and contemporary square pulls. bungalow5.com

BLACK MAGIC This moody-meets-majestic breakfast room by Birmingham, Alabama-based designer Rebecca Hawkins proves wrong the common misconception that dark colors don’t bode well in small spaces with style in spades. Instead, the chiaroscuro-inspired aesthetic of this sun-dappled spot gives the awkward corner it inhabits new life; a charming pop of yellow, too, on the upholstered bench helps elevate the room into a cozy hideaway that has quickly become a family favorite. 205.919.8842

DECODED

As head of creative for the revered British paint and wallpaper company Farrow & Ball, Charlotte Cosby is an invaluable resource when it comes to identifying color trends. She’s sharing her predictions and picks for what designers and homeowners alike will be gravitating toward in 2016:

9ART

INSPIRATION For interior designer Angie Hranowsky, color is second nature. Here, the Charleston, South Carolina-based talent dishes on how to get it made in the shade (each and every one of them).

Go big: The easiest way to transform a room and a space is to paint all of your walls a bold, bright shade. It gives you the biggest bang for your buck; plus, you can always paint over it if you change your mind later.

Hang it up: One of my favorite methods to bring colorful interest into a home is to introduce beautiful artwork, like the bottle cap portrait by local artist Molly B. Right in this living space I created. It informed everything else in the room—such a statement maker.

Stay small: If you’re feeling a little intimidated, there’s no shame in easing into color. Start by working in more exciting shades on your fabrics or pillows—or place an eye-catching throw at the foot of your bed. angiehranowsky.com

COM_LX4_TheReport_194-201.indd 200

What’s on the color horizon for the coming year? Bold color and colored neutrals will definitely play a big role in 2016. We’re seeing people becoming more experimental as we move out of the recession, and they’re looking to make their homes feel brighter and more confident by using color.

Favorite shade of the moment?

It’s Farrow & Ball’s 70th anniversary next year, so there will be a lot of exciting launches to look forward to

that will mark the occasion. In terms of my favorite right now, though, it’s Stiffkey Blue (shown here). It’s regal and romantic, a real classic.

Tricks for selecting the perfect paint color? I always think the most important thing is to choose a color you love! It sounds simple, but if you want to create your perfect home, making sure it’s decorated with the patterns, paints, artworks and accessories you love is the best place to start. farrow-ball.com

11ORANGE FEEL

There’s no limit to how often and how much to use your ideal color once you’ve finally found it. So, when San Francisco designer Lauren Ranes and her client stumbled upon the dreamiest shade of citrus they’d ever seen, they didn’t hesitate to introduce it again and again into the family homestead. “The color, Benjamin Moore’s Ravishing Red, is tomato, persimmon and watermelon all rolled into one,” explains Ranes. “It’s a dignified and cheerful shade.” The result is a cohesive color scheme that relies on pattern and print throughout to make it appropriate for each space. Here, in the breakfast room, for example, a charming Schumacher wallpaper behind the shelves and blue-and-white ginger jars lend the dining space off the kitchen the touch of formality it required. laurenranes.com

BRIGHT LIGHT Formal doesn’t have to be fussy when it comes to stunning candelabras that are just as handsome during daytime hours as they are when they are all lit up—at least that’s the story Dunes and Duchess is telling with the brand’s coveted four-arm version, available in a variety of colorful finishes. dunesandduchess.com

COM_LX4_TheReport_194-201.indd 201

MODERN CLASSIC

One of color’s most prized properties is being able to bring a fresh, modern perspective to traditional spaces, like it does in this sweet foyer in North Carolina with inspiring architectural detail. Using a palette of soft green and subdued coral, designer Barrie Benson transformed the home’s 1950s bones into a graceful, feminine dream.

“I wanted to give a nod to the old without making it feel like one’s grandmother lives here,” says Benson with a laugh. “The palette definitely sets the tone for that. It gives visitors the hint that not everything inside is as conservative as you’d expect from a more formal Southern home.” barriebenson.com

he first thing a pair of homeowners did after buying their house in the North Shore suburbs was to have it torn down to the studs. The plan was to rebuild, modernize and add to the existing footprint in order to create a custom home suited for both their lifestyle and young family. “The owners wanted a home where they could plant roots and raise their three children, as well as entertain with family and friends,” says designer Martin Horner, whom the homeowners brought on board after admiring his firm’s work in a friend’s home. “They envisioned something sophisticated and timeless that also reflected their relaxed nature, a lean toward a traditional aesthetic without being too stuffy.”

Horner—along with principal Shea Soucie—had a hand in almost every inch of the house, including the layout, lighting plan and interior architecture, as well as all material and furniture selections, collaborating with general contractor Robert Milke, who worked on the demolition and rebuild. “It was a huge job,” says Milke. “We gutted the entire house, blew out the foundation wall in the back and excavated the lower level.” The team also expanded the existing garage, added a new bedroom suite for the daughter and extended the basement. “Despite the abundant square footage, each room was mindfully scaled to create a sense of intimacy,” Horner says.

To honor the homeowners’ traditional leanings, the floor plan is based upon a classic design: A center hall leads to public spaces on the main floor, family bedrooms are upstairs, and entertainment spaces reside on the lower level. At the owners’ request, extensive trim, millwork and coffered ceilings were added throughout, with some painted a crisp white to balance the oak flooring that was stained a warm walnut. The custom millwork “adds texture and interest while also helping to break up large expanses of wall,” says Horner. “These details also bring instant character to a new-construction home.”

For the color palette, Horner chose a sea of blues (his clients’ favorite color) and soft neutrals punctuated by polished-nickel accents. Layers of texture and a thoughtful mix of traditional, modern and found pieces give the newly furnished rooms the appearance of being collected over time. With its two-story white-painted paneled walls, glossy black staircase railing and splashes of blue, the foyer sets the polished yet informal tone found throughout the home. A sofa covered in a cut-pile diamond-patterned fabric, facing an antique Louis Philippe chest, reflects the owners’ fondness for an aged patina paired with present-day elements.

The blue hues and laid-back vibe continue in the family room, where a wall of windows allows natural light to pour across a generous seating area anchored by two sofas with an outer shell upholstered in blue mohair; a custom walnut coffee table sits in the center. Fanback wing chairs covered in an Opuzen Design textile flank a double-sided fireplace accented with Ann Sacks mosaic tiles, while ottomans featuring fabric made from an antique Japanese kimono offer additional seating. Horner visually connected the adjacent conservatory through the continued color palette and identical

“IT’S THE PERFECT BLEND OF HIP AND MODERN WHILE STILL CLASSICAL AT HEART.” -MARTIN HORNER window treatments of soft sheer panels with woven Roman shades. “I like window treatments to be simple and clean,” he says. “I think they should be a backdrop, not a statement.”

Rich walnut envelops the study, offering a cozy contrasting counterpoint to the lighter spaces. In addition, Horner incorporated a feast of textures and finishes for added warmth. Blue wool-satin curtains look striking against the horsehair wallpaper featuring metallic flecks, while a leather Chesterfield sofa gets a contemporary edge when paired with a navy lacquered desk; both are perched upon a hand-stitched, hair-on-hide rug. In the dining room, the designer took a break from the blue hues, opting instead for notes of citrus green and soft gray along with 10 coats of champagne-colored metallic paint. “Getting the paint color just right was a challenge but well worth it,” Horner says.

Champagne is befitting in this glamorous space, where silk curtain panels and a chandelier resembling bubbles mingle with elegant klismos-style armchairs covered in a combination of patterned silk with wool and velvet.

Another color detour was taken upstairs in the daughter’s bedroom, where turquoise and yellow dress the expansive space. “It’s the size of a New York apartment,” the designer quips. Indeed, the substantial three-room suite boasts a bedroom, study area and entertainment space sporting mod swivel chairs, a plush wool carpet and an Italian chandelier.

While the upper levels are where the family does most of their living, the lower level is all about having fun. The underground basement, which boasts 11-foot-high ceilings, features a cushy television area, a fully stocked bar, video gaming room, dance studio, gym, indoor basketball court and a cozy niche containing a Ms. Pac-Man arcade game, yet Horner approached this level with the same attention given to the rest of the house. For example, an art installation of Tibetan temple flower reproductions hangs near the sectional, and a mirror-tiled backsplash was installed behind the bar. “The quality is the same in this space as throughout the rest of the home, and there’s just as much detail,” says Horner, who believes that the finished house now suits his clients to a tee. “It’s the perfect blend of hip and modern, while still classical at heart.”

ollaging: it’s an art form many are familiar with, though most remember the craft from their early days of elementary school art class—armed with Fiskars safety scissors, watereddown cups of Elmer’s Glue and mangled magazine scraps. Not for Chicago-based artist Stephen Eichhorn. For him, collaging is part of his daily routine, as the artist sources materials from vintage books, used deadstock-photo wallpaper, magazines and hand-cut reproductions of his own work to create kaleidoscopic explosions of flora and fauna lacquered on glossy, gradient surfaces. “I was just experimenting one day with a stack of National Geographic magazines, cutting out different images and piecing them together into a collage,” says Eichhorn of the serendipitous week when a curator just happened by his studio for a visit and was immediately drawn to this new style of work.

Eight years later and Eichhorn’s art now graces the walls of both Johalla Projects and at CES Gallery in Los Angeles, and, most recently, at the high-end men’s fashion boutique Meyvn. Unlike a painter or photographer who creates his own imagery, Eichhorn considers himself part-artist and part-image hunter, pointing out that it can take months to create a single piece. “Sourcing beautiful imagery is the most challenging and time-consuming part of my job,” he says. One trip had the artist stepping into a Japanese bookstore just outside of Chicago. “This opened up a whole new genre for me,” he says. “The Japanese perspective of imagery and angles is so inspiring. Using such striking pictures has pushed the subject matter of my work.”

Though plants and other greenery are at the core of his work, Eichhorn is known to spend up to eight hours a day painstakingly cutting out a variety of images—including blades of grass, geodes, succulents, cacti, coral, rocks and even cats. “My work is a lot like drawing but instead of using pencil marks, I’m layering cut-out pieces,” he says. “There’s such a beautiful architecture to plants, and putting these different elements together in such an abstract way has allowed me to create something special.” Most recently, the artist has been collaborating with Unison on fabric designs made from his collage work. “I love what I do,” he says. “Life undulates, but, for me, art has always been the constant.”

COMFORT ZONE WARM FINISHES AND TIMELESS DETAILS FOSTER A RELAXED SENSIBILITY IN AN ITALIANATE-STYLE CHICAGO HOUSE. WRITTEN BY TATE GUNNERSON PHOTOGRAPHY BY STEVE HALL/HEDRICH BLESSING

W

hen a rare corner lot in the booming Lincoln Park neighborhood hit the market, the couple living in a town house across the street made an unexpected yet well-considered decision to purchase it. “We’d been living in the town house for 19 years and weren’t really looking to move,” says the husband. But after residing for so long in such a narrow space, the prospect of building a wider, brighter home with more room for the family of five proved to be irresistible. “We began thinking of all the affordances a new home would offer: more natural light, a bigger kitchen, separate rooms for the kids and more space for guests,” says the husband. “Each step in the process became so exciting.”

After interviewing several candidates, the couple commissioned architect Kathryn Quinn to design their new abode. “Kathryn was as equally comfortable with classical architecture as she was with modern expressions and the whole pantheon in-between,” the husband says. “It was important for us to have a design that was not only harmonious to the neighborhood but also a welcome addition.” Since the home is located in a Chicago Landmark District, it needed a style that would complement the significant historical and architectural features of the surrounding houses. The result is a limestone foundation and brick façade with zinc sheet metal cornices and other details, which hark back to a 19th-century Italianate design. “We introduced this idea in the spirit of ornamental metal that started to come into practice with cast-iron columns in the late 1800s within that Italianate style,” Quinn says.

Unlike some of the older, more historic homes, however, the new abode has large windows that flood the interior with sunlight. Multiple openings throughout the wide aligned corridors that house the public rooms allow the light to flow through unobstructed. “It was important to have circulation along the exterior wall, so we could have light-filled hallways and staircases,” says Quinn, noting that the ample landings lend themselves as another kind of interior room that’s inhabited, not just passed through. “Moving along the stairway is a celebration of the outdoors.” Indeed, the large lot afforded Quinn the luxury to incorporate a courtyard with a water feature and winding paths that contrast with

CH_LX33_Quinn_232-245.indd 235

the home’s rectilinear lines. “We were trying to create a softer, more family-oriented feeling,” says Wisconsinbased landscape designer Peter Kudlata of the home’s backyard. Additionally, the front of the house is planted with boxwood hedges and specimen trees for seasonal color. “The design in front is a little more formal in response to the home’s clean look,” Kudlata says.

For the interior, Quinn combined such elements as refined wood paneling and steel stairway balustrades with exposed brick and reclaimed-wood ceiling beams found in the family room that evoke a more casual ambience. “There’s an interesting dynamic that happens when you use an outdoor material inside,” Quinn says.

A pendant from The Urban Electric Co. illuminates the foyer, which includes alder cabinets designed by architect Kathryn Quinn and travertine flooring from The Tile Gallery.

A large pergola fabricated by KWI Custom Cabinetry and installed by Fraser Construction provides shelter for an elevated outdoor entertainment area off the main living areas. A set of stairs leads to a curvilinear stone patio where barbecue equipment by Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet resides.

“It feels like an outdoor room that’s been enclosed.”

Those interior materials have matte finishes, allowing their natural textures and patina to come forth. In addition, custom-designed built-ins are used for storing or seating, creating an ensemble that unites the interior and exterior architectural style and its detailing. In response to the owners’ vision, designer Barbara Theile and firm chairman Susan Fredman, along with Indianabased design consultant Rebecca Whitmore, worked to achieve a relaxed and welcoming space. For example, the team furnished the family room with a custom

CH_LX33_Quinn_232-245.indd 236

sectional and a thick shag rug. That casual theme continues in the library, with a conversation area in front of the fireplace and a rustic dining table. “It’s a huge house, but every space is cozy, warm and comfortable,” Theile says. “Everything is natural and flows into each other.” Says Whitmore: “We really wanted to make the house feel livable while providing elements that kept the integrity of the architectural design.”

The team also selected various colors and finishes throughout. In the kitchen, for instance, traditional perimeter cabinetry is painted in off-white, with the

large islands colored in a complementary shade of blue. A beadboard backsplash enhances the old-time aesthetic. “They wanted the kitchen to feel as if it had been there forever,” Theile says. To that end, the home includes many handcrafted details that impart an oldworld feel. “The millworker carved the family room’s reclaimed beams and ceiling boards, giving them a handhewn look,” says general contractor John Rosenwinkel.

“Those elements were unique for our company.” The wife is especially appreciative of the casual and relaxed aspects of the home. “I’ve found myself tearing up just looking at the architecture inside,” she says. “The library is the perfect space to comfortably entertain.”

Because the main floor is half a story up from the ground, built-in wood louvered shutters in the paneled window opening jambs are stacked in sets of two, with only one needing to be closed for complete privacy.

Therefore, gatherings and activities inside have more seclusion from the street while providing daylight in the upper half of the windows. “The highest form of luxury for me is privacy, and the second is to have nature surround you,” Quinn says. “We got both, and we were very fortunate to be able to do that in an urban setting.”

Though the owners were unprepared for the number of decisions to be made during the project, they are ecstatic with the fruits of their labor. “We were able to take our time with all the details,” says the husband.

“There were a lot of hardships, struggles and challenges, but those often make for richer experiences, and we’re fully enjoying the rewards.”

“OUR HANDS ARE OUR FIRST LANGUAGE. FOR OUR INDUSTRY, THEY GIVE US THE MEANS TO COMMUNICATE OUR IDEAS.” -AARON PAHMIER

hen I’m working with my tools, it opens up doorways in my mind that I didn’t even know existed,” says furniture designer Bladon Conner, co-founder of Aaron Bladon along with fellow craftsman Aaron Pahmier. “Our designs are greatly influenced by nature, and the addition of materials like steel help enhance the organic quality of the wood.”

Originally on their own, the pair soon realized that even greater things could be achieved if they teamed up, and their Chicago design studio has grown leaps and bounds since they joined forces in early 2013. While they divvy up the day-to-day tasks of running the company—Conner focuses on client interaction, while Pahmier handles managerial duties—neither of them stray too far from their craftsmen roots of designing custom, innovative products. “Our hands are our first language,” Pahmier says. “For our industry, they give us the means to communicate our ideas.”

Although tables, case goods and other residential furnishings make up the bulk of their output, their designs can also be found in public spaces such as the Hyatt Place Chicago/ Downtown-The Loop hotel, for which they created an installation made of laser-cut steel panels that’s evocative of a forest. “We were challenged to re-conceptualize the idea of a fireplace,” says Conner, who finds that designing these custom pieces helps to push the envelope.

With that said, the pair will soon be rolling out a new furniture collection available in standard finishes and sold through their website. “We’re looking back through our archives, pulling out the best pieces and offering them on a more widespread scale,” Pahmier says. “The furniture that we’ll offer online has been shaped through our custom work so it has this established heirloom feel.”

In the meantime, the duo continue to create bespoke pieces for their expanding roster of clients. According to Conner, it’s often difficult to part with their creations. “There’s a closeness that we have with the pieces we make, and it can be hard to give them up,” he says, “but it’s also exciting to see them in their new homes.”

or designer Shelley Johnstone Paschke, updating a classic home in Chicago’s North Shore for a couple with two children was right in line with her design style. Known for her European-influenced interiors with a modern twist, Paschke understood how to turn the white-brick, French Provincial-style abode into an inviting space layered with rich materials and a mix of elements. “The home was a bit casual, which the clients and I both loved,” says Paschke.

“But we also wanted it to be more elegant while still keeping it comfortable.” Indeed, the house—originally built in 1939 by architect Jerome Robert Cerny—had good bones and the appeal of a charming estate situated on a romantic countryside. “I prefer an older home with tons of character, and this one definitely had that,” says the wife. “We wanted to maintain its history but make it livable for present day.”

Already familiar with the home, architect Austin DePree had lived there with his family before selling it to the current owners, and during his time there, he

had drawn up plans for an addition that included a large kitchen adjacent to a casual living area and dining room, a basement guest suite and a renovated staircase. “The ground floor of the house had a compact plan, which worked for the three of us,” says DePree. “But with a second child on the way, we were running out of space.” So, when the architect and his wife decided to forgo a revamp and instead move, the current owners—with whom the architect had collaborated on their previous Chicago house—chose to proceed with DePree’s addition plans. Paschke became involved during the extensive renovation and suggested that the woodwork throughout be painted a high-gloss white and the front door and stairs a high-gloss black. According to Paschke, these modifications highlight the home’s many architectural details.

The new addition plans also aimed to take advantage of the vistas. “I wanted to introduce as much glass as possible and bring the surrounding ravine environment into the living spaces,” says DePree, who worked with

project manager Keith Labutta. Builders Dan Schmidt and David Haegeland also tackled the project; the pair had teamed up with the architect on previous additions to the house. “The trick about remodeling and additions is making the new area feel like it’s part of the original house,” Schmidt says. According to DePree, uniting both new and old components was key. “With any historic renovation, it’s important to maintain complementary finish materials, trim profiles and casework details throughout,” he says. “When adding on to an existing home, the scale and overall quality of rooms need to feel connected. We approached the project with these goals in mind and were able to seamlessly weave the new spaces into the old.”

Once the renovation was complete, Paschke paired existing furnishings with new elements designed to make the home feel fresh and young. For example, the living room’s bookcases pop with a blush color from Benjamin Moore, while a zebra-patterned rug in the study adds

a graphic note. Details such as lacquered ceilings— executed by DiVinci Painters—and grass-cloth wallpaper coordinate with acquisitions from travels, auctions and antiquing, while a mix of fabrics adds interest. In addition, the blue tones became a unifying cue along with a few unexpected pattern twists. “The wife is conservative but also wanted to have some fun,” Paschke says.

Wood breakfast chairs, for instance, are enlivened with blue-patterned seats, and a powder room pops with navy lacquered walls. In turn, the foyer’s eye-catching wallpaper and a ceramic garden stool from New York’s Treillage in the study add surprising touches.

The designer also balanced formal pieces with more casual ones, creating a modern yet timeless and elegant look. Vintage Louis XVI-style armchairs in the living room were updated with white lacquer and upholstered in navy velvet to temper blush accents drawn from a peony photograph, while a linen sofa and custom sisal

rug dial down the formality. Furthermore, the wife trusted Paschke to recommend forgiving fabrics and family-friendly furnishings. “I didn’t want to live in a house with rooms that couldn’t be used,” says the wife. “I wanted everything to be inviting.” To this end, a durable upholstered ottoman grounds the family room, and the study’s leather sofa is easy to clean. “The family wanted their home to be pretty but livable,” Paschke says. Additionally, a feminine crystaland-brass chandelier in the dining room is a glamorous counterpoint to the owners’ masculine wood table and side chairs. “That juxtaposition creates depth,” Paschke says. “The furnishings in every room play off of one another, and pieces can be easily moved around.”

Echoing the cohesiveness of the furnishings inside, the back of the home—which is clad in beveled-cedar siding—was painted to blend with the white-brick façade, and new windows extend the indoors to the outside.

A bluestone-clad terrace, with multiple points of access, creates the feeling of an outdoor room. “The ravine takes up at least one-third of the property, but it’s a beautiful feature to take advantage of,” says landscape architect John Mariani, who created an arched boxwood hedge that grounds the rear view to the woodlands and acts as a buffer from the more formal terrace, which includes large planters featuring hydrangeas and perennials in the surrounding beds. “When the kids are on the patio, I can see them in almost any room,” says the wife. “And when we entertain, the whole house feels like an indoor-outdoor space.” But what she loves most about the home is the history and true character that has been preserved.

IN CELEBRATION OF LUXE INTERIORS + DESIGN’S DECADE OF DESIGN, WE LOOK TO THE CUSTOMARY MEMENTO FOR THIS LANDMARK ANNIVERSARY— TIN—AND BRING IT TO LIFE WITH A TOUCH OF PANACHE.

“WE CAN HELP ENVISION AND BUILD THE DREAM.” Q+A WITH THE EXPERT Describe a typical project for Plain & Fancy.

Does Plain & Fancy’s product fit your client’s vision?

What about service and warranties?

Meeting and getting to know new clients is a great part of the job. Listening and learning the scope of the project and client's wishes is something we truly enjoy. Building a project plan, floor plan, perspectives and layout, as well as keeping in mind the longevity of the kitchen and knowing that a kitchen renovation is more or less a one-time undertaking: we can help envision and build the dream.

Clients have often done some shopping or website browsing, collecting information and ideas, but we are the real experts. We understand workflow patterns, work zones and storage requirements. We bring our experience to the table.

Plain & Fancy has nearly 50 years of manufacturing experience. They are a wellestablished, family-owned company. They work with the finest materials and install top-of-theline European hardware for the best in service and longevity. A lifetime warranty allows us to guarantee product quality and service.
