A CONTEMPORARY CORONA DEL MAR HOME WITH A BOHEMIAN VIBE Nestled seaside in the scenic hamlet of Corona del Mar sits a charming house with a classic yet relaxed bohemian feel— a look that was seamlessly achieved by designer Brooke Wagner. With the use of warm rustic woods and subtle pattern mixed with rich textures and pops of color, beach living never looked so chic. Check out the full tour of this stylish abode at luxesource.com/ corona-del-mar-home.

▲ FRENCH ACCENT IN CHICAGO A Francophile at heart, designer Amy Kartheiser’s love for all things related to France is what drew her to her Normandy-style refuge in the village of Wilmette.

After adding her own touches to the interiors à la French designer Joseph Dirand—and balancing the structure’s older architecture with modern-day elements—Kartheiser fashioned her ideal setting reminiscent of a Parisian apartment. See more images at luxesource.com/chicago-french-accent.

AUSTIN ABODE WITH GLAM INTERIORS Restoring a historic residence back to its original glory was the challenge that architect Stephen Kubenka and builder Robert Howard were tasked with for this Austin home. After executing a careful restoration to keep the integrity of the Georgianstyle architecture intact, the design team then created an up-to-date space for a family of five.

EDITOR’S LETTER

Dym Textiles puts a fresh twist on the classic tradition of block printing.

This is our annual Luxury Report issue, in which our editorial team seeks to define what luxury truly means. What we’ve been pondering, and discovered, is that personalization and making a statement of one’s own is high up on the list of how people want to live today. There’s a yen for the one-of-a-kind and the unexpected. When on the hunt, what catches our eye is design with a distinctive quality: alluring, yet with just the right dose of imperfection to suggest a human element. More often, creatives have a narrative woven through their work that adds another layer of interest and engagement. This season, we dig a bit deeper into the subject of the handmade, with a reverence for designers and artisans who are producing exclusive objects—for they have made craft cool, and luxurious, again.

INSPIRATION

Eldorado Stone has been at the forefront of its industry for the past 45 years. From its humble beginnings to the international presence it boasts today, Eldorado’s core philosophy has remained the same—believability. Each of the company’s natural stones is replicated to the finest details of texture and color, yet offers a lightweight, concrete stone veneer solution.

VARIABLE OFFERINGS

Inspiration is key to Eldorado Stone’s culture. Every product is designed to evoke a unique sense of space, whether modern, traditional or highly rustic.

With 150-plus colors and numerous textures and shapes from which to choose, architects and designers are able to inspire their customers with limitless applications.

MODERN DESIGN

The newest of Eldorado’s extensive options, the Modern Collection features 34 new colors and 6 new profiles. Developed to accentuate contemporary designs, these stones pair refined color with clean lines to blend or contrast with neighboring elements. The results are spaces that come alive, speak for themselves and take center stage. Proof that less truly can be more.

Eldorado Stone’s philosophy creates authentic architectural products that transform spaces through color and texture.

ARTISANAL CRAFTSMANSHIP

Eldorado Stone products are handcrafted through a detail-oriented, laborintensive process. Each stone is hand-painted by master artisans, infusing multiple layers of color to the stone’s unique textured surface to create a highly authentic appearance.

What began with a spark‌ emerges as an icon.

The difference is Gaggenau.

We have been perfecting one oven for 30 years. Our latest rendition accentuates its distinctive design: the door is now created from one imposing 36 inch wide sheet of 3 mm highgrade stainless steel. It represents one vast entrance to culinary potential.

This remodelled, hand-crafted work of art represents the culmination of our finest principles, skills and ethos. We’ve christened it the EB 333 in recognition of our 333 years of working in metal. This has always been more than an oven; it is a promise to create masterpieces.

James Hann is an artist - although architecture is a technical discipline, to him, it is still an art form on a human scale. Most importantly, residential design is a process that requires interaction with the owner. He strives to create artistic designs that look good in the eyes of the owner. Licensed in 8 states and with over 35 years of experience, he strives to create design work as both sculpture and a functional living environment.

CONTRIBUTORS

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

ALLISON MCCARTHY Writer / San Francisco

What’s intriguing you right now in the world of design? I am enjoying the move away from minimalism to a more vibrant, layered, maximalist approach. A little color and whimsy can take a space from safe and staid to lavish and fun. Most interesting person you’ve ever met: I had the great honor of meeting journalist and historian Hamish Bowles, who was visiting San Francisco as the guest curator for the de Young Museum’s “Balenciaga and Spain” exhibit. He is so poised and well-spoken but also self-deprecating, and he just has this vast knowledge on such a wide range of subjects. I could have listened to his stories for days. If I weren’t a writer, I would… Try my hand as an interior designer. As a writer, I express my creativity in the form of words on a page, but I think it would be so rewarding to see a vision come to life in a home through a curated collection of handpicked objects and furnishings.

JOHN GRANEN

Photographer / Seattle Best career advice you’ve ever received: It came from Howard Fry, a Canadian photographer. He said, “Shoot for magazines and become an expert on a specific subject.” So, I began to shift gears, and found a handful of editors at interior design magazines who were very receptive to my style. Fortunately, they assigned me many shoots over the years that have sent me to places I may not have experienced on my own. What books have impacted you the most? Gordon Parks’ autobiography was very inspiring. He shot for both Life and Vogue magazines and forged a prominent career that must have been daunting in a nearly all-white profession. Also, Don Normark’s Chávez Ravine, 1949: A Los Angeles Story is a masterpiece. It is a poetic documentation of a community without a voice. Both remind me of the power of the image. If you could shoot anywhere in the world, where would it be? Usually it’s wherever I happen to be, and hopefully with pleasant weather, friendly folks and subjects that are both inspiring and thought-provoking. I also like carving out images from scenes that are windows into the everyday.

LX_COM15_Contributors.indd 128

CARMEL BRANTLEY Photographer / Palm Beach What type of design inspires you? I am—along with my husband, photographer Robert Brantley—in awe of the many young designers who are creating inspiring interiors and architecture with such passion, vision and ingenuity. Most fascinating person you’ve ever met: My childhood friend, Sheila Holzworth, was an amazing woman who lost her eyesight at age 10, but she never lost her zeal for life.

She was the first blind woman to reach the summit of Mount Rainier as well as receive an Olympic gold medal in skiing—a true inspiration. Top three things on your design wish list: I’m currently obsessing over wallcoverings. A few of my favorites include de Gournay’s Amazonia hand-painted wallpaper, Anthropologie’s Great Meadow Mural and the original Don Loper Martinique banana leaf design from The Beverly Hills Hotel.

LAUREN A. GREENE Writer / New York Where do your creative influences come from? As a writer, I’m most inspired by reading. I can spend hours lost in the stacks at the Strand bookstore flipping through a wide range of materials—from psychology and philosophy to historical fiction and travelogues to its amazing selection of art and design books. Prized possessions: My collection of vintage handbags that belonged to my grandmother. Every one of them is in mint condition, and I never get as many compliments as I do when I’m using one. Plus, I love that I get to carry around a piece of her with me. Current design obsession: The blue velvet couch I recently purchased. Now, I just need to find the perfect silk ikat pillows to finish it off. If I weren’t a writer, I’d be… An art curator. In college, I had a temp job at The Metropolitan Museum of Art assisting in a variety of departments. To this day, I still think about how exciting and interesting it was.

▲ ROSSANA

ORLANDI

Galleria Rossana Orlandi, Milan COOL FACTOR: Fifteen years ago, Rossana Orlandi founded her eponymous gallery in a former tie factory as a way to transform her passion for art collection into a multifarious platform for design. Showcasing avant-garde works in a fluid space in Milan’s Magenta district, Orlandi’s gallery demonstrates her eclectic taste and influential reach. Case in point: Her focus on the work of emerging Dutch designers recently earned her a visit from the King and Queen of Holland, who traveled to Milan to learn about the work of

LX_COM15_Radar_CuratorsOfCool.indd 134

Dutch talents such as Guglielmo Poletti and Sander Wassink. Of her hunt for the latest talent, Orlandi says, “I always search for designers who have a story to tell. Not only the object, but the story behind it, captures me.” SCOUTING TALENT: Exhibitions at arts schools throughout the world are important to Orlandi—this is where she finds many of the emerging designers that eventually join her roster. ON HER FORECAST: Furniture designer Piet Hein Eek is a longtime favorite. rossanaorlandi.com

alhadeff portrait: lauren coleman. orlandi portrait: giovanni gastel. galleria rossana orlandi photo: nico zupanc.

COOL FACTOR: Just walking into The Future Perfect’s showroom in downtown Manhattan makes you instantly feel more in-the-know. Partnering with designers like glass sculptor John Hogan and ceramicist Eric Roinestad on exclusive collections, TFP consistently delivers covetable furniture and objets that can’t be found anywhere else. “We take a lot of time transforming the spaces and pushing the displays so that every time you visit, it’s going to be different,” says owner David Alhadeff. With the addition of a San Francisco outpost and the new appointment-only Casa Perfect showcase, housed in a private residence in the West Hollywood Hills, Alhadeff is quickly weaving his web of design influence across the country. The goal is to create a destination for clients who yearn for unexpected, utterly unique items and will go just about anywhere to find them. SCOUTING TALENT: For Alhadeff, trade shows like Salone del Mobile in Milan, the London Design Festival and the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York are important for networking and developing relationships with new designers.

⊲ DARIN

GEISE

COOL FACTOR: This cavernous showroom is home to rare antiques, including vintage Italian furniture, original works from founder Darin Geise’s own line and stunning pieces from the likes of Ashley Tudor, Damian Jones and Christopher Kreiling. Geise cemented his place in the industry by buying and selling antiques out of a warehouse where he lived and worked, later earning a spot in the exclusive San Francisco Design Center before branching out to a location across the street: “I created these dynamic installations, had amazing parties and put the store on the map as a real spot in the center that was changing the way people looked at antiques,” he says. Today, his creative team reimagines the 8,000-square-foot space’s displays every 10 weeks, so the offerings always feel fresh. “It’s definitely not your stereotypical showroom,” says Geise. SCOUTING TALENT: Geise describes himself as always being “on the prowl” for new product. He combs design fairs and shows throughout the world, focusing on France and Italy for antiques and Scandinavia for collectable furniture. ON HIS FORECAST: “We just started representing artist Kelly Kiefer, who does amazing light sculptures,” he says. There are also plans to expand the Coup Studio brand across the country. coupdetatsf.com ⊳ CLAIRE

WARNER & SAM VINZ

Volume Gallery, Chicago

COOL FACTOR: Formed by Claire Warner and Sam Vinz, Chicago’s Volume Gallery features a roster that includes textile designer Christy Matson and ceramicist Anders Ruhwald, among others. Back in 2008, Warner and Vinz met through a mutual friend, designer Jonathan Nesci, and soon launched their first solo exhibition in their space. After seven years working together, the pair believes their bond is kismet. “For us, it’s always about people working at the peak of their abilities and pushing their respective mediums forward,” says Vinz. Volume plays host to approximately five solo exhibits and three group shows a year, and acts as an incubator for artistic experimentation for creatives like architectural firm Krueck + Sexton, whose solo exhibition begins in September. SCOUTING TALENT: Warner and Vinz follow current events to evaluate artists’ relevance in the context of what’s happening in the world; plus, they love to connect with artists on Instagram to get a sense of what they’re working on in real time. ON THEIR FORECAST: Ross Hansen, whose work as a landscape architect informs his furniture design through exploration of the convergence of materiality and form. wvvolumes.com ⊲ ADAM

BLACKMAN & DAVID CRUZ

Blackman Cruz, Los Angeles

COOL FACTOR: Housed in a former legendary nightclub, this 9,500-square-foot gallery from design visionaries Adam Blackman and David Cruz has a quintessentially L.A. vibe, thanks in part to a view of the Hollywood sign. But the real draw is what’s inside: a treasure trove of furniture, lighting and art, representing designers including Lindsey Adelman, Gianni Vallino and Dan Pollock, to name a few. Finding new design talent seems to be in the partners’ DNA: “We both feel the same way; it’s all about the hunt,” says Blackman.

Whimsical antique finds and custom-made case goods round out the selection, which is a bottomless resource for some of the most creative people in the world.

SCOUTING TALENT: Italy and London are two of the most inspiring locales for the pair, though they each do their own scouting trips, which results in a fascinating melting pot of pieces from different eras and origins.

ON THEIR FORECAST: Both are fond of L.A. interior designer Jane Hallworth, whose furniture and lighting combine imaginative storytelling elements with a modern sensibility. blackmancruz.com

Envision a dining table base that resembles twisting, gilded rosebud vines or a cast-brass floor lamp that takes its shape from tropical banana leaves. Such foliage becomes fodder for the imaginative designs at Portuguese furnishings brand Ginger & Jagger. “When we look at organic forms in the world, the delicacy of nature, as well as its innate rawness, it really is pure poetry,” says Paula Sousa, the company’s CEO and creative director.

After working as an interior designer and creating upholstered items for Ginger & Jagger’s sister company, Munna Design, Sousa branched out, literally, to explore her distinct vision inspired by the greatest muse of all: Mother Nature. Compelled by her adoration of the earth’s wild landscape, she launched the label in 2012. “My longing was to create

LX_COM15_Radar_BTB_GingerJagger.indd 138

objects that can make people perceive the beauty in nature,” remarks Sousa. “I find it so moving, and I wanted to bring that personal connection and emotion to my creations.”

The brand enlists local artisans in the northern coastal city of Porto—known for its sweet dessert wine and traditional craftsmanship—scouring nearby terrain to unearth and gather motifs, textures and shapes to inform the designs. Sousa and her team then transform these branches, leaves and other organic elements into table legs, mirror details and light fixtures, to name a few. These rugged details are employed using old-world techniques, like welding and marquetry, with an unparalleled blend of luxury materials such as brass, copper and marble. For instance, a brass-casted mold of a found magnolia branch acts as the base for the line’s Primitive dining

table. “The conceptual process is beautiful to me, as we don’t have to change what nature has to give,” says Sousa. “Beauty is necessary in life, and I want to make ordinary items have an extraordinary look and feel.”

While every offering has a perceived silhouette, each piece is made to order and crafted with its own soul and narrative in mind, taking weeks to create. The components of each product are made by various craftspeople—including skilled jewelry makers who perform some of the metalwork— and later assembled into the finished product.

“Handcrafting is all about devoting the time necessary to producing an object but also perfecting a skill, and our artisans have spent many years learning their trades,” explains Sousa. “Time is the ultimate luxury.”

MAKER’S MARK

IN HER CALIFORNIA WORKSHOP, TEXTILE DESIGNER MIRIAM DYM PUTS HER STAMP ON AN AGESOLD CRAFT TO CREATE PLAYFUL ONE-OF-A-KIND PRINTS. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY MICHELLE BRUNNER PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALANNA HALE

When thinking of the centuries-old Indian art form of block printing, visions of delicate swirling paisley forms hand-stamped onto fabric by elaborately carved teak blocks come to mind. But that’s not the case at Berkeley, California-based Dym Textiles, where designer Miriam Dym is putting her own twist on this time-worn tradition.

Linear in composition, brightly hued and bursting with an almost musical energy, Dym’s bespoke patterns have more in common with the West Coast modern vibe seen in the work of other San Francisco-area, artisanbased companies such as Heath Ceramics and Peace Industry, whose felt rugs share a similar

geometry. Inspired by the colors and textures of the northern California landscape, the designer often names the grid-like prints and colorways after local attractions. “We use an old-school technique, but try to create a fresh new look that feels distinctly modern,” she says.

And that technique, believe it or not, involves a bit of chemistry: There is science behind

LX_COM15_Radar_Dym.indd 140

Dym’s choice to use fiber-reactive dye over the more commonly used ink in the labor-intensive process behind her textiles. “Dye bonds at a molecular level with the fibers, keeping the hand of the cloth soft, whereas ink sits on the surface of the fabric,” she says. “Because dyes are transparent like watercolors, they can be layered. Most hand printers tend to use ink

Swatches (left) show some of the bright and cheerful hues in Dym’s arsenal. Hand-carved handles for the blocks are lined up waiting to be called to action (below). Knowing exactly how much pressure to apply to the block when it makes contact with the fabric is necessary to creating repeating patterns like the one shown at bottom.

because it requires less processing, but it doesn’t result in the same luxurious drape.”

While the patterns she produces are a departure from traditional Indian block printing, Dym stays true to the art form’s roots by collaborating with local artisans. “In India, there are craftspeople focused specifically on carving the blocks and still others who weave the cloth, mix the dyes, and do the printing,” she says. Adhering to that model, Dym designs all of the blocks herself before sending them out to a local craftsman to carve. “The blocks are made from hard wood, sourced from salvaged northern California trees that would otherwise be mulched,” she says.

The first batch of blocks Dym created were experimental shapes that didn’t quite pan out, but because she loves stripes and admits to having a love-hate relationship with plaid, she threw in a couple of extra block designs. To her surprise, the blocks produced beautiful striped and basket-weave patterns. “They have a kind

LX_COM15_Radar_Dym.indd 142

of self-evident logic, so you can introduce variations and easily customize them,” she says.

Dym employs two part-time assistants who work on the printing. “Our process involves play and experimentation, because we can use the blocks in so many ways. The craft lies in knowing how to mix the dye so that when we put it on the block, it strikes the fabric just right. The experiments range from being tightly controlled repeating patterns to wildly openended full-panel compositions,” she says.

While the routine is methodical, there is a reward in the repetition. “It sounds boring, but the work is meditative, and block printing, by virtue of its slowness, makes it harder to bring a gazillion units into the world, resulting in a more exclusive product,” Dym says. “There’s a reason people keep rediscovering craft, generation after generation, even though the economics of small-batch production don’t really work. It’s because the work itself is deeply satisfying.”

PERFECT POSTURE

FORM AND FUNCTION MERGE IN A SERIES OF ELEGANT STATEMENT-MAKING FLOWER VASES FROM BLOC STUDIOS AND PHOTOGRAPHER CARL KLEINER. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER

photo: carl kleiner.

Marble has long been synonymous with luxury. Every subtle vein or variation in hue tells the story of its creation and makes each slab utterly unique. Similarly, no two flowers are truly alike: The intensity of color, the size of a petal and the swoop of a stem are all variants that contribute to each bloom’s singular profile.

To celebrate those likenesses, Italy’s Bloc Studios has collaborated with Swedish photographer Carl Kleiner on a line of vases inspired by the latter’s 2014 Posture series of photographs in which he posed various flowers in unusual positions, often anchored by a block and suspended by strategically placed wires. “The Posture series came from experiments to control the positions of the flowers to photograph them,” he says. “I had a conversation with Sara Ferron Cima (Bloc Studios’ cofounder and designer) about how fun it would be to translate the photographs into vases so that everyone could arrange flowers in a similar way,” says Kleiner.

Reminiscent of ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging that prizes balance, grace and minimalism, the Posture vases create sculptural forms while shining a light on the brief lifespan of cut flowers. Blending hard with soft; straight lines with curves; substantial with delicate; and inanimate with animate, the combination of solid marble and seasonal blooms offers an exquisite exercise in contrasts.

WHO: Phoenix resident Megan Gilroy, an Arizona State University student whose engaging content aligns with her design and fashion style.

WHAT: Expect to see artistic shots of the desert, dreamy decor in soothing spaces, snaps from her travels and healthy doses of coffee and cat pics thrown in for good measure. Gilroy has a knack for drawing out the beauty in unexpected everyday locales.

WHY: Gilroy’s feed presents a cheerful and calming vibe through bright white and crisp images, achieved occasionally thanks to the S2 filter on the VSCOCam app.

ANDAZ SCOTTSDALE RESORT & SPA Desert creatives have an ideal spot to bed down at the Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Spa. Designed by Novato, California-based EDG Interior Architecture + Design, the 201-room hotel plays off the local art scene of the 1950s, when Georgia O’Keeffe, Alexander Girard, Paolo Soleri and others produced works inspired by the desert surroundings. The firm’s take on modern bungalows outfitted with midcentury furnishings and vibrant art are meant to portray an artist colony for a new era, says Jennifer Johanson, CEO of EDG. “We had envisioned the public spaces as design ateliers where the creative traveler could find new perspectives and space for expression,” she says. Craftsmen from nearby Cattle Track Arts Compound display their works throughout the resort and, as part of the hotel’s artistin-residence program, lead events, concerts and classes for guests. andazscottsdale.com

THE INSIDER LEAH AND MATT THEODOSIS

When they were planning their wedding, Chandler residents Leah and Matt Theodosis couldn’t find wooden benches to rent as seating, so they ended up building their own. This task would lead to another big step they would take together: opening Tremaine Ranch, a staging, design and furniture rental company based in Tempe. Founded in 2013, their business offers handcrafted and antique furniture and decor that has a distinct rustic feel. “We try our very best to thrift and antique our pieces so we can give them a second life and create a smaller carbon footprint on our planet,” Leah says. “The thrill of the hunt makes it worth the time.” Here, the couple discuss their favorite local shops and artists who inspire them. tremaineranch.com Where to shop: Merchant Square Antique Marketplace, a 58,000-square-foot mall in Chandler; Call It New/Call It Antique, a thrift shop in Mesa with beautiful vintage and specialty finds; and the Main Street Antique Mall, a Mesa store that has treasures around every corner—we go to walk around and feel inspired.

Local home decor find: Standard Wax, a Tempe-based candle company that strives to bring art into everyday life. These ceramic vessels are made with the intention of being repurposed and poured in house. Standard Wax even makes custom candles featuring signature scents and personalized labels.

One to watch: Phoenix florist Malori Maeva. She owns multiple companies, including two floral studios, Hoot & Holler and Noir; Oh Hell Yes, a business consulting brand; Phoenix Flower Crowns; and Lola & Pine, a line of handmade planters. She inspires us to do great work and run a great business, and she works smarter, not harder—which isn’t always easy to do.

DATE BOOK BROOKS VITALONE

Next year marks Brooks Vitalone’s 20th year as principal of her Paradise Valley design firm, a milestone marked by an array of experiences. Years earlier, the Arizona State University grad honed her skills studying fine and decorative arts in European epicenters like Paris, Florence, Amsterdam and Athens, Greece. She returned stateside intending to teach fine art but instead began working for a San Francisco paper company, a job that gave her the business skills she still applies today. Still, she always found ways to keep her passion alive. “My every free moment was spent going to antiques shops, design boutiques or showrooms,” Vitalone recalls. “It was easy to fuel my flame.” After getting into home remodeling and then working at Sloan Miyasato, Vitalone settled in Arizona and launched Brooks & Company in 1998, bringing her sense of vibrancy and character to desert homes. “I like our design community,” she says.

“There’s enough work to go around and a lot of talent here, which is healthy. It’s fun to be among that group.” Below, Vitalone spends a day showing us some of her local favorites. brooksvitalone.com 10 a.m. Start with brunch at El Chorro, where I usually order the shrimp cocktail.

The history and setting of this enchanting enclave—which was a school in the 1930s— only enhance the French chef-driven gastronomy.

11 a.m. Pop into two of my favorite galleries: Costello Childs Gallery and Gallery Russia. Costello is constantly bringing in current national and local artists to the design community, while Gallery Russia represents more classical artists. It’s nice to view a mix of both.

12 p.m. Stroll around at the Scottsdale Quarter. It’s a compact area with the latest stores, and it feels like a little European town. Stop in Paper Source, which is great for gifts.

1 p.m. For lunch, the café at Arcadia Farms continues to be a hit. It has a charming, cozy atmosphere, especially when the weather permits sitting on the patio underneath a plethora of umbrellas. My go-to

dishes are the pesto grilled shrimp or the crab and avocado tower.

2 p.m. It’s time for shopping.

My favorite showrooms include The Collector’s House, Savale Flowers Antiques, Brady Gray, Dean-Warren, John Brooks Incorporated and Paradise Valley Estate Sales, Auctions & Consignment. What I love about all of them is their ability to inspire anyone; there’s incomparable quality and originality to be found at each.

4 p.m. Visit the Phoenix Art Museum (I love the building’s architecture) or the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. Both are manageable to walk around, so you can quickly get a big dose of what’s going on in the arts scene.

6 p.m. Have dinner at Veneto Trattoria Italiana. The atmosphere is the closest thing to being in Italy—how could it not be when all the waiters speak with thick Italian accents?

I recommend trying one of the daily seafood pasta specials.

7 p.m. If you’re in town on a Thursday, check out the Scottsdale ArtWalk, a two-hour event in which galleries in the Scottsdale Arts District are open later to the public. It’s a wonderful way to open up your imagination during an evening’s stroll.

9 p.m. Need a late-night bite?

Stop into Malee’s on Main for delicious Thai fare. The Tom Ka Gai soup is absolutely fabulous—it has a coconut milk base, and it’s ordered spicy on a scale of one to five.

MID-CENTURY HYGGE Michele Alfano

It heightens your senses, whether you’re soaking in the tub, standing on the fur rug or sitting on the bench with a warm cup of coffee. That’s hygge.

Copenhagen Suggesting life on a houseboat, this bathroom brings the city of Copenhagen indoors with its use of natural materials like hewn beams, water-inspired colors and a living moss wall.

But the purpose is beyond a nod to nature.

In the hygge modern bathroom, the sensorial design elevates the everyday.

To achieve a sense of Nordic coziness, I balanced light-colored materials with the occasional geometric pattern and pop of color.

The design flexibility of the DXV Modulus Collection was a natural fit, including its looks. It’s a combination of angles and organicism, a perfect match. Finally, I added a hint of luxe with a built-in towel warming drawer and coffee bar—just right for achieving hygge.

STATE of theART SIX CONTEMPORARY DESIGNERS DEBUT DAZZLING NEW WORKS THAT DEEM THEMSELVES WORTHY OF AN EXHIBITION. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY KATE BERGERON PHOTOGRAPHY BY PAUL SIRISALEE

ERICH GINDER

ERICH GINDER STUDIO

Musical note: Although I consider myself a designer, I tend to go about life as an artist, and I strongly feel that creativity sort of feeds itself. For example, I love music, and I like to think that somehow plays a role into my practices. On process: While my style and the things I find interesting are constantly evolving, the pieces I produce often come from a desire to solve an ordinary problem in an artistic and interesting way (like the resin coat racks I made fresh out of art school largely out of a need for organization). Material wisdom: A vast majority of my current creations use relatively simple materials. Lately, I have been working with linen, aluminum and wood. The luxury element here is related to something less tangible than gold or other precious materials and more about the time spent conceiving and crafting each piece. Defining luxury: For me, luxury means owning fewer things, but of better quality—items that utilize a handmade or bespoke process and enduring materials.

LX_COM15_Market_Spotlight.indd 182

GALLERY GODS THE PIECES: Labyrinth Tables and Hypnosis Screen THE DESIGNER: Erich Ginder FIND IT: erichginder.com THE INSPIRATION: For Erich Ginder, a Seattleite who has been rocking the design scene with his eponymous studio since 2004, luxury is in the process. Using common materials such as striped cotton ticking and stock aluminum extrusions, Ginder challenges himself to push the boundaries of palette and construction, reimagining them into something clever and unexpected. With both the Labyrinth tables and the Hypnosis screen, Ginder’s trademark attention to detail pays off and somehow makes the transition from simple to outstanding look easy. While surely not the case, the results are indeed easy on the eyes.

STILL LIFE THE PIECE: Stacks Bench THE DESIGNER: Leah Ring FIND IT: anotherhuman.la THE INSPIRATION: The exploration of fluidity versus confinement defines Leah Ring’s Stacks bench, a conceptual design sparked by meditation stones piled in a layered, unfixed environment. Mindful of oft-challenging pint-sized urban dwellings, the Los Angelesbased designer, who debuted her brand, Another Human, earlier this year, created the piece to be deconstructed for different meditation poses and relaxed seating arrangements alike. Ring’s choice of upholstery—a sumptuous, sheeny gray velvet—elevates those fleeting ruminative moments in both mind and design.

LX_COM15_Market_Spotlight.indd 184

LEAH RING

ANOTHER HUMAN

An artistry of one’s own: There’s a geometry that’s consistent in my pieces— I’m drawn to certain shapes and lines first and then I try to think about how materials can be used in interesting ways. I want to always evoke a sense of playfulness, and thus what inspires me is often totally random but feels like a little wink from the universe. While working at an interior design firm in NYC… I was exposed not only to the great works of historically important designers, but also to relevant names like Lindsey Adelman and Carpenters Workshop Gallery.

This really opened my eyes to what was happening in American contemporary design and solidified my wanting to be a part of it. On community: I’m thrilled to now be a Los Angeles designer in a time that feels like the creative community here is bursting at the seams with talent. I feel strongly about and love fabricating locally. On your radar: New York-based design studio Chen Chen & Kai Williams and British designer Max Lamb, because they work with materials in surprising and ingenious ways, and musicians Connan Mockasin and Grimes, because they are unapologetically themselves and celebrate their own brands of weirdness. I think it brings a whole lot of joy to their art.

7/19/17 1:16 PM

ARTS AND CRAFTS THE PIECES: Found Collection Plates & Vases THE DESIGNER: Anna Aristova FIND IT: aspacestudio.com THE INSPIRATION: Moved by the cosmos, Russian-born Anna Aristova chose black clay to emulate the wild mysteries of the galaxy and gold accents to represent the sparks of light and life within it for her Found collection. The universe is often the subject of poignant and stunning interpretation by the designer, who cofounded Brooklyn creative studio A Space with her partner, Roza Gazarian, three years ago.

Like the gold flecks in her handcrafted pieces, Aristova’s point of view is calming and curious all at once, and her Found works pack a big punch for being such tiny, delicate creations.

ANNA ARISTOVA A SPACE

Universal appeal: My biggest intention is to bring nature’s timeless beauty to our contemporary lifestyles. Each object I create is a one-of-a-kind formation that beckons to look beyond mere shape and material and to connect with the primordial nature of the elements. A constant awareness of an object’s transience is what continually keeps me fascinated with creation in all its articulations. Impermanence…

Has been the most consistent theme spanning my work thus far. Everything flows, changes, is created and disappears—day turns into night, rivers flow into oceans, seasons change into one another. In the process of creation… A similar transition happens. So many elements come together for a single piece to tangibly manifest. Material wisdom: Clay has been used for thousands of years and is raw and heavy, while gold is fascinating and mystical. I love using both—it’s a constant balance of opposites.

DEFYING GRAVITY THE PIECE: Unsettled Vessel Three THE DESIGNER: Brian Thoreen FIND IT: brianthoreen.com THE INSPIRATION: All of the works from Los Angeles-based Brian Thoreen’s Unsettled collection deal with forms and components that are unable to function without their corresponding counterbalance, which creates a spellbinding tension between the materials and structure. Here, Thoreen’s choice to use glass to support a large cast-bronze base evokes a thrilling sense of precariousness and follows the multidisciplinary designer’s belief that the inspiration is in the medium.

An artistry of one’s own: I grew up always building things and working with my hands.

The more I learned, the more I was interested not just in making something physically, but creating conceptually. I worked in the art world as a studio assistant, installer and fabricator, but the further along I was in education, the more I grew interested in design and architecture. In a way, I think I gravitated there because of the functionality factor. On luxury: To me, it’s less about extravagance and more about experiences and comfort. The best indulgences are the ones that set your heart on fire or give you pause and appreciation. Hero worship: People who have purpose and an honest vision—Donald Judd, John Waters, Peter Zumthor and my son, Nova.

My mission… As far as art goes, is really as simple as creating a life’s work that I am proud of; to look back at all of that and know it was done with intent. That, to me, is entirely satisfying.

FERNANDO MASTRANGELO

FERNANDO MASTRANGELO STUDIO

Material matters: I have a deep commitment to challenging what I consider to be beautiful, and mostly, I find it in nature.

A black streak of volcanic ash embedded in a floating iceberg, for example, is nature’s perfect abstract sculpture. It often pains me to think about how exquisite it is—a phenomena almost not worth trying to imitate. But, that’s what I try to do with my designs. I’m definitely interested… In luxury; not in the high-brow-Plaza-Hotel kind, but more of the upstate-farmer/furniture-maker-genius type.

I want things that don’t exist yet. To me, a statement piece… Is a work of art disguised as design—something more capable of shifting one’s perceptions, and less about function and utility. Hero worship: I surround myself with extraordinary minds. As far as revering one person goes, though, I think we take little bits from many people, and follow a weird, wavy path to our own sense of self.

Each one of the designer and sculptor’s creations is a love letter to Mother Nature, with the Escape bench serving as an a homage to the sunset and the magical color of an evening sky.

FLORAL AFFAIR THE PIECE: Flora Wall Hanging Light THE DESIGNER: Marcin Rusak FIND IT: marcinrusak.com THE INSPIRATION: A century’s worth of familial history in the floral industry and a peeked curiosity about the human race’s obsession with flowers both came to a head when Marcin Rusak made a trip to the London flower market and witnessed the massive amount of discarded blooms laying around. The Polish designer began collecting and processing them, quickly realizing how often we use nature as inspiration but how rarely we actually use it as decoration. Encased in resin, the flowers in the Flora wall hanging light give greater meaning, and in some ways, a new life, to one of Earth’s truest and most beautiful resources.

MARCIN RUSAK

MARCIN RUSAK STUDIO

Full bloom: My ideas have always turned toward the unknown territories of expression in form and processes while remaining mindful of ephemerality, value and consumption. A lot of my work is devoted to exploring those details and magnifying and presenting them in a different light. Flowers have always been perceived as luxurious yet temporary decoration that are often soon discarded once they satisfy our immediate aesthetic needs, and I am trying to change that perception. My mission… Is to stimulate questions about history and possible future scenarios by playing with the course of destruction, renewal and reconstruction. I am still contributing to material culture, but I hope to be making things that have enduring appeal, both aesthetically and conceptually. On going with the flow: I’m still trying to process life as it emerges in different aspects. I’ve always believed in trusting your intuition and the importance of surrounding yourself with people you admire.

With a local foundry, machine shops and design studios, the Commons family controls the entire manufacturing process. Known for high-end, handmade hardware, the company stands apart for unmatched quality and beautiful finishes.

“Our products speak to customers’ desire to tell a story,” Robert says.

“The American aesthetic is as diverse as the people—modern, coastal, eclectic, minimal, transitional and traditional— opening the door to many design possibilities.”

SUN VALLEY BRONZE ON …

AMERICAN-MADE DESIGN Describe, in your words, the “American Renaissance” in design? The search for authenticity is growing, which has given rise to American-made products that maintain highquality standards, source sustainable materials, and provide jobs, all while offering outstanding design.

What words or images come to mind when hearing the phrase, Made in America? We see the faces of our team who builds our hardware every day. We see their families, their dogs, their stories. We think about our history together as we have grown, evolved and expanded our collection.

What part of the American “fabric” inspires your work? We are inspired by the architects we collaborate with, such as Carney Logan Burke Architects in Jackson, Wyoming, and de Reus Architects in Hawaii. And we continue to be influenced by those who value craftsmanship, attention to detail, and longevity, while balancing forward-thinking innovation.

What are the defining characteristics of American-made design? Authenticity and a focus on the inherent beauty and quality of our material defines our product. We use honest materials and are honest about our process. We try to be on the forefront of technology, always making our hardware the best product on the market and a leader in the industry.

LEE INDUSTRIES In 1969, Lee Industries set out to manufacture quality, American-made furniture.

Owners Bill and Dottie Coley opened a 7,500-square-foot factory, hired a small staff and accomplished just that—and so much more. Forty-eight years later, Lee Industries continues to create innovatively styled, high-quality home furnishings. “We are committed to our customers, vendors, community, and the environment,” they say. “With perseverance, we have become an upholstery leader with outstanding products, superb customer service and cutting-edge technology.”

LEE INDUSTRIES: MADE IN THE USA Yes! Every one of Lee Industries’ pieces of furniture is proudly manufactured in North Carolina by its skilled craftsmen. Each item is handcrafted by experts in their field, who take great pride in workmanship and whose love of furniture is contagious—resulting in the best upholstery product available in the United States.

With four manufacturing facilities in North Carolina, Lee Industries employs more than 725 skilled associates who set out to create one-of-a-kind products that are built to last. With quality paramount to Lee Industries, its products have an edge over the competition as their skilled craftsmen are involved in every step of the manufacturing process, from concept through final inspection. The company’s driftwood finish requires nine steps to complete, so clients can be assured that the person behind perfecting that finish is held accountable for each and every application. Even with a global supply network, 98 percent of the components in Lee Industries’ products are supplied domestically, and most suppliers are in its home state of North Carolina. This includes the frames, foam, springs, cotton ticking, decking, fabrics and packaging. Local suppliers mean local employment, and reduced transportation costs and CO2 emissions.

HUBBARDTON FORGE Attaching your brand to the tagline “Modern American Blacksmith” certainly requires the goods to back it up. However, one look at the fine handcrafted lighting fixtures that Hubbardton Forge is known for makes it clear that the company has earned that distinction.

While styles range from classic, transitional and industrial to steampunk, modern and contemporary, the brand’s commitment to artisanal designs, locally sourced materials and high-quality production remains constant. An “American-made” philosophy is central to the team at Hubbardton Forge—each piece, from conception to production, is created at its facility in Castleton, Vermont.

“Our primary muse is the steel we forge. We are always experimenting with what can be done next with steel and other metals.”

—David Kitts, Design Director

We attend many trade shows, and visit designers and showrooms across the country.

We incorporate materials from local suppliers, whether it’s metal, glass or wooden elements.

We collaborate with local glassmakers to develop the specific pieces together; or with the local LED manufacturer.

We work with local Vermont artisanal glassblowers for much of our glass; a Vermont LED manufacturer for much of our innovative LED platforms.

JP WEAVER COMPANY Every business has a secret to its success. JP Weaver Company, maker of fine interior architectural mouldings, credits composition ornament as its star ingredient. In the hands of master carver Rob Tyler, the historic moulding has inspired many of the company’s signature designs, including the Petitsin Collection that offers myriad moulding combinations. While principal designer, Stephanie Croce, and her team derive inspiration from 18th-century French interiors, 100 percent of JP Weaver’s work emanates from its Glendale, California, studio. “We are wholly American designed and made,” she says.

JP WEAVER: MAKING ITS AMERICAN MARK JP Weaver was historically known in the Los Angeles area as the premier source for ornaments used to enrich elaborate fine art frames for the picture-framing industry. And for over 50 years, the company created and produced the elegantly gilded picture frames for the iconic Pasadena Rose Parade floats. This opened the doors to the movie industry, with set designers looking to JP Weaver’s mouldings as a well-known and well-used resource to create the backdrops for countless feature films and television shows. Now, in addition to estatesized custom homes, JP Weaver mouldings are found in five-star hotels and ballrooms. Highly regarded in California for its restoration work, particularly in Pasadena and Hollywood movie theaters, JP Weaver’s repertoire also includes the restoration of the ornate plaster interiors of the California State Capitol building.

“As a small business in an ever-evolving and competitive economy, the pressure of cheaper and faster is a stark reality. But Americans have come to realize that a quality product made in America is worth paying more for.”

including 20 finishes and over 400 fabrics. In line with its American heritage, the design team finds inspiration among the regional influences of South Carolina and California, among others.

LLOYD FLANDERS: A TIMELINE OF AMERICAN DESIGN When the Flanders family purchased the Lloyd Manufacturing Co. over 30 years ago, they made a commitment to honor the history and heritage of the company, and to maintain the high-quality standards its customers have come to expect.

Using state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and equipment, together with more than 100 years of tradition and furniture knowledge, Lloyd Flanders continues to produce the finest American outdoor furniture. Combining the best of the old with the improvements of the new has resulted in heirloom-quality furniture that can be enjoyed for generations to come. Following is a brief timeline of the company’s noteworthy moments in American design: 1906: Inventor and businessman Marshall Lloyd builds a factory in Menominee, Michigan, for the Lloyd Manufacturing Co. 1917: Lloyd patented the Lloyd Loom process, which revolutionized the way wicker furniture is made.

1941: The factory joined the war efforts by making shell casings, military and hospital furniture, and aircraft parts.

1982: The Flanders family buys the Lloyd plant, forming Lloyd Flanders Company.

1985: Lloyd Flanders introduces the first allweather wicker to the casual furniture industry, and the rest is designing history.

How do local artists and designers inform your work?

When we built our new state-of-the-art plant and office environment, we wanted people to think they were visiting Google, not a window company.

One way we did that was by contracting two local artists to create vivid, unique murals. Not only are these murals often celebrated as the most memorable part of our building, they showcase the creativity that exists within our community.

Why do you think American-made products/ design have become so important to the trade/consumer?

While we may be divided in this country along political lines, one thing that always unites us is our passion and belief that this is the greatest country in the world. Anything that any of us can do to help our fellow American is something most are willing to sign up for.

Infusing your kitchen or bath with flair doesn’t require over-the-top flourishes and distracting details. If the spaces we selected for the following pages are any indication, a more minimalistic approach can transform even your most-used rooms into eye-catching yet relaxing retreats.

By shunning busy trappings in favor of subtle touches—such as a freestanding wood tub for a hint of color in a bright-white bathroom, or a play on pattern and form in a kitchen that’s equal parts modern and artistic—design lovers can hit the stylistic sweet spot of functional-meets-refined.

And whether you want to unwind with a long, hot bath or end your day baking a batch of chocolate chip cookies, they also show that clean design is a key ingredient for domestic peace of mind. luxesource.com / 231

PINCH OF PATTERN STUDIO HUS

Minimal is anything but boring: just ask designer Tatum Kendrick, founder and creative director of Studio Hus in Los Angeles. Here, Kendrick dishes on her strategy for designing a standout modern kitchen. And, in the case of this space, what she reveals is that a thoughtful combination of artful and functional elements is the plat du jour. studiohus.com Describe this space. I would call the design “warm modernism.” I wanted to create something that felt minimal and modern but with traditional roots that was inviting and appropriate for a relaxed country kitchen in the Hamptons.

How did you achieve the minimal yet interesting design? For me, a kitchen’s aesthetic is about how the finishes and design work together to create a “painting” of sorts.

It’s not about one color or brushstroke but how they all interact on the canvas. With the layout and bones quite linear and square, and the palette quiet and neutral, I added interest with graphic patterned floors and marble, as well as sculptural and decorative form through the lighting and barstools.

photo: peter margonelli.

What was the inspiration? Traditional European butler pantries with glass-front cabinets chockablock with antique dishes, silver serveware, platters and pitchers.

These collections bring so much beauty and character to a kitchen. So, I wanted a quiet, minimal design, but with lots of character in the finishes, and to make the display cabinet the focus—like an art piece.

LUXE TAPS THE NATION’S TOP REAL ESTATE MOVERS AND SHAKERS FOR AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE LUXURY MARKET—WHETHER YOU’RE BUYING, SELLING OR JUST BROWSING. WRITTEN BY LACY MORRIS

PERSONAL PROPERTY Each year at Luxe, we examine the trends that are shaping sales, motivating buyers and redefining the concept of luxury in real estate. One recurring theme: high-end clients want a one-of-a-kind experience, and if there’s an element of exclusivity, all the better. For instance, who could resist the rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history, like the exquisite Philip Johnson-designed residence shown here.

“The relationship between the building and the land makes it one of the most unique homes in Dallas,” says listing agent Faisal Halum of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. “It illustrates how truly great architecture can influence the market decades after its inception.” Here, we tap the resources of some of the industry’s most knowledgeable power players to find out what in today’s world of unlimited luxuries will become tomorrow’s timeless classic.

INDUSTRY STANDARDS

Work with the best. We have a large pool of design talent. We never want to do the same stuff over and over, so we cycle between five to 10 of the top architects in the United States, and we push to mix it up style-wise. Develop details that set you apart. Our homes are always light and bright. We try to get three walls of light in every room. They also have what I would describe as a warm color palette that feels distinctly Southern. And lastly, our floors have become somewhat of a signature. They’re natural or limed white oak with no stain. Keep a competitive advantage. Having an in-house realtor proves to the broker’s community that we are so pro-realtor that we have someone we work with exclusively. I think that loyalty sets the tone for what the company’s about.

EMILY SACHS WONG

The Corcoran Group, The Hamptons

Russ Lyon Sotheby's Wilson & Goldrick International Realty, Scottsdale Realtors, Austin

The Kendrick Korant Hung Team at CORE, Manhattan

Luxury Portfolio International, Chicago

Top amenities: Customers are looking for integrated indoor-outdoor spaces with built-in BBQs, pool houses, fire pits and even outdoor TVs. Biggest selling factor: Location, location, location, or a uniqueness to the property, like sunset views, privacy or an incredible garden. Who’s buying? Instead of moving out of the city, our clients are buying in the Hamptons and opting to use that property year-round. corcoran.com

What’s hot in terms of design? Right now, it’s all about the clean look. My clients want to hide the thermostats, mount undercounter outlets, or better yet, use sensors for just about everything. Plus, they want smart home systems that are easy to use and operate.

Most visible market trend: We’re seeing a lot of allcash sales recently, and our condo market is booming. sothebyshomes.com

What tops your clients’ wish lists? Apartments with unobstructed views and ample sunlight. Where are they looking? We are seeing growth in South Central Harlem. There’s tremendous interest in the historic brownstones. Hottest amenity: New developments are providing restaurant and hotel services to residents that harken back to the luxury buildings of the 1930s and ’40s. corenyc.com

Top things buyers are looking for today: New construction, modern finishes and a gray color palette.

Everyone wants spaces that feel hip and new, but buyers don’t want to take cash out of their pocket to make updates.

They want everything done for them. What other design elements are trending? Gone are home theaters and wine cellars; people are now all about the opulent outdoor spaces. luxuryportfolio.com

LX_COM15_TheReport.indd 236

CINDY GOLDRICK

Choice amenities: Spacious, large showers are trending as well as wine rooms and virtual golf rooms. What else is important? Walkability— people want neighborhoods that are close to work and restaurants. Latest market movement: I’m seeing a trend toward a “lock and leave” lifestyle, where the client has a smaller house in Austin and a larger vacation home elsewhere. wilsongoldrick.com

Dallas builder Ben Coats has earned a reputation for producing elegant homes that defy trends yet feel very of-the-moment. “You want the big picture, architecturally, to be timeless, but have these undertones that are really current,” he says. “That way, as the home ages, it won’t feel dated.” We sat down with Coats to discuss the state of architecture today, the fiber of his business, and how he distinguishes himself from the pack. coatshomes.com

ART of the SELL

Home stagers are not only employing high-end furnishings, but also museum-quality art—think Basquiat and Picasso—to sell listings. We asked Janus Cercone, developer and interior designer of Malibu-based Jaman Properties, to give us a glimpse behind the more artistic side of elite home staging. jamanproperties.com When did this trend start? Several years ago, a friend with an amazing art collection was deaccessioning, so we suggested using our property as an ad-hoc gallery—and ten substantial pieces sold.

How often is the art sold along with the house?

The art often sells before the house. Frequently, the lesser-known work sells more briskly than that of more established artists. For instance, a recent property was filled with some of the most important artists in history, like Warhol, but we sold a Vija Celmins before the house even went to market.

What are the logistics? No one will let you pack a Picasso in your Porsche. You’ll need professional art transporters and installers who are insured from the moment they pick up the piece to the moment they return it. We use the company who installs for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art—it’s pricey but safe.

Do you cater the art per client? We research every buyer before they see the house to vet their potential response to the art. There’s a fine line between specificity and universality. Every element must reflect the emotion, quality and rarity of the property, but it must also offer potential buyers the ability to imagine their own narrative. At the end of the day, we’re selling a story.

RITE OF PASSAGE In today’s luxury market, the finishing touches are every bit as important as the major design features. Attention to detail shows clients that builders and designers alike aren’t leaving anything to chance when it comes to creating the ultimate residential environment. One such example of this can be found in Hamilton Sinkler’s P&I collection of door hardware. The handles’ clean geometric lines and intersecting planes manage to pay homage to both Art Deco and Brutalism while feeling totally futuristic. hamiltonsinkler.com

Setting the right mood is paramount when selling your home, and the right fixture can infuse a space with an unprecedented level of richness and detail. Take, for instance, the Float chandelier

by Toronto, Canada-based Lightmaker Studio.

Warm brass spheres mingle with glass globes in a geometric grid, bringing a decidedly midcentury vibe to the light’s modern profile. “It’s more of a lit sculpture than a traditional pendant,” says designer Michael Stamler. lightmakerstudio.com

ROOM SERVICE

Now you can have all the world-class amenities of a top-shelf hotel right in your own home. Highend hoteliers are developing their properties with the long-term resident in mind by adding hotel-condominium hybrids to their business blueprints. In London, the much-talked-about Ten Trinity Square hotel, inside the iconic Port of London Authority building, hosts 41 residential units, branded under the Four Seasons name.

London-based Martin Kemp Design kept the building’s neoclassical shell, but the marble and granite communal spaces are only the beginning.

Residents have access to all the hotel’s amenities, including two swimming pools, a spa and 24-hour gym, a restaurant by a Michelin-starred chef, and the world’s first Château Latour wine room outside of Bordeaux. Should there be more you require, just phone the hotel’s white-glove service concierge. tentrinitysquare.com

The views of the Manhattan skyline from this chic downtown loft, previously owned by comedian Jon Stewart, are no laughing matter— nor are the high-end interior touches. With six bedrooms, a media room, library and an expansive rooftop deck, there’s plenty of square footage to unwind. Why we love it: It’s the corner unit in a boutique building, which allows for maximum sun exposure. $20 million, 161 Hudson St.; compass.com

Inside this Gold Coast home, a warm contemporary interior plays host to six bedrooms, a gym, a wine cellar, a library and a meditation room. Enjoy the Chicago summer from the rooftop garden with its greenhouse or the courtyard, which features a pool and outdoor kitchen. Why we love it: This home stands as a gleaming example of adaptive reuse given its former life as an electrical substation. $11.7 million, 924 N. Clark St.; luxuryportfolio.com

Occupying an entire floor, this three-bedroom condo in the Tenderloin features exquisite architectural details, including intricate crown moldings, marble inlaid floors, high ceilings, handcarved doors and hand-painted murals. Why we love it: The penthouse’s Palladian-style solarium is an extraordinary room with its dramatic barrelvaulted glass ceiling and two outdoor terraces with views from Sausalito to the South Bay. $3.9 million, 631 O’Farrell St.; pacificunion.com

HOT ’HOODS

WE ASKED FIVE TOP REAL ESTATE AGENTS TO SHARE THE TRENDS THEY ARE SEEING ON THEIR HOME TURF.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Where do new buyers want to be? I’m noticing a fairly even split between city and suburb. Many families struggle with the process of finding schools, and they see an easier path in the suburbs, but there are many families (like my own) that choose to stay in the city and take part in everything the urban environment has to offer.

What neighborhood is on the rise? I see Humboldt Park trending as the next hot place.

Nancy Tassone, Jameson Sotheby's International Realty; sothebysrealty.com

closet CASE

Nowadays, outfitting luxury homes with highend finishes is pretty much standard. In recent years, a quest to stand apart in design has introduced the bespoke factor to even the most utilitarian of spaces and pieces. For example, it only makes sense that the door to one’s dressing room should be as stylish as the designer contents of the closet itself. Handcarved from smooth maple with an intricate pyramid etching detail and inlaid distressed mirrors, this custom door from Biaki New York is sure to impress even the most discriminating buyers. biakiny.com

LX_COM15_TheReport.indd 240

ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA What do buyers want more of? People are mostly looking for additional square footage.

Choice location: Over the past few years, I have seen more families choosing to raise their kids in the village of Corona del Mar, which is a departure from the more suburban environment of the hill in Newport Coast. In fact, the average price per foot has nearly doubled, and this will go up depending on the location and view. Gated communities remain strong: People are taking advantage of large

estate lots and building 8,000-square-foot custom homes. The average cost of a teardown is approximately $3 million for the land alone. Jason Bradshaw, Bradshaw Residential; bradshawresidential.com

AUSTIN, TEXAS What’s the hype with downtown? Proximity to downtown is one of the biggest assets a home can have, and with our city’s traffic issues, living close and cutting down on commuting time becomes a quality-of-life decision.

Emerging neighborhoods: I’m seeing more growth with Allandale and the areas around North/Central Austin. Mueller is also an awesome community that feels like a city within a city.

I believe buying there is a great investment. Laura Gottesman, Gottesman Residential Real Estate; gottesmanresidential.com

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA Downsizing vs. upsizing: Even across the luxury demographic, home buyers are seeking smaller spaces, less yard and more of a

community feel in their neighborhoods. In-demand locale: Arcadia has been trendy for several years, but we are now seeing an alternative for the next generation of home buyers in Arcadia Lite. Located in the middle of Scottsdale and the Biltmore district, this area couldn’t be more walkable and convenient. How about the suburbs? Younger buyers are happier with smaller spaces in the city with upscale finishes. Raul Siqueiros, The Agency; theagencyre.com

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA What area is popular with your clients? They’re usually looking to buy a second, third or fourth home in Santa Barbara’s luxury market, which has been a haven for some of America’s wealthiest families for nearly 130 years—movers and shakers have vacationed there since the 1880s. Preferred architectural style: Buyers are looking for more contemporary designs with bigger windows and open rooms. In-demand locales: The Toro Canyon Road and Toro Canyon Park Road neighborhoods are taking off right now. Because the areas are close to town but the parcels are larger, they have a more rural feeling, and the views are incredible. Suzanne Perkins, Sotheby’s International Realty; sothebyshomes.com

MOUNTAIN MAJESTY Up where the air is cleaner and cooler, vacation homes once boasted a luxury log cabin vibe that was the norm, but as buyers of high-elevation country homes shift in ecoconsciousness and security needs, so, too, does the style of the place they call home. When Vail, Colorado-based architect Kyle Webb first started in the industry 28 years ago, minimalist designs were just 30 percent of his workload; today, nine out of 10 projects he helms are contemporary, he says. Here, his take on the increasing popularity of modern mountain architecture. khwebb.com Describe your clientele. Most of my clients are self-made and independently minded. They want cleaner, simpler,

LX_COM15_TheReport.indd 249

less-cluttered homes, and they don’t have any interest in copying their parents’ style. What are some key design materials? Modern doesn’t mean we’ve stopped using wood and stone; we’re just doing it in a new way—say, stone paneling. Bells and whistles: We’re building super high-tech homes, but our clients care as much about convenience as they do security. People are savvier and want just one light switch on the wall and one device that controls everything. On the horizon: We’re now seeing materials like brass and copper reappear. I think a lot of design became too stark and minimal. Now, it’s about bringing back character and warmth. We’re reanalyzing what’s modern and what isn’t.

For the team at Cactus Stone, the goal is to be the best distributor of natural stone slabs in the United States. “One visit to the Cactus Stone gallery and your overall experience will convince you that we are succeeding,” owner Kirk Butler says. From quarries around the world, to an exclusive line of Italian marble slabs produced entirely from recycled off-cuts, Cactus Stone boasts an impressive offering of more than 350 of the most sought-after stones for the kitchen and bath. “Additionally, more of these projects are incorporating natural stone slabs for wall applications,” Butler says. “Considering that natural stone is the earth’s most enduring art form, people find they never tire of looking at a well-placed exotic stone.” Butler suggests selecting your natural stone countertops first, before choosing other finish materials and colors. “Every well-designed kitchen should have natural stone countertops,” he says.

INTERNATIONAL SOURCING + INFLUENCE “Our worldwide quarry and stone processing partners are constantly searching for new stones and experimenting with different surface finishes,” Butler says. “We have learned that procuring the best natural stone requires a visit to the factories to inspect and determine suitability for the Cactus Stone gallery. Over the years, we have come to appreciate the people, cultures, food and geography of the remote locations of the world from which our stone comes. We share the same passion for the stone as our suppliers, which typically assures we receive the best materials from them.” Cactus Stone imports all types of natural stone, including granites, marbles, quartzite, limestone, onyx and travertine.

“

We are known for our creativity and outsidethe-box solutions.

At Dorado Designs, the mission is simple: create extraordinary environments by providing superior designs, products and services. Led by president Elizabeth Spengler, and senior designer and manager Michelle Carnes, the firm has become known for its ability to perfect the amalgamation of multiple styles within a space. In kitchen and bathroom environments, where the aesthetic must often meet the desires of several individuals, as well as function superbly, the Dorado Designs technique has proven valuable. “It’s okay to mix styles and, in fact, this is something for which clients often seek us out,” Spengler says. “There is a true art to making it work, using proper balance of color, texture and other design principles. Clients usually have an idea of what cabinet color or finish they like, and then it evolves from there.

Unearthing unusual color and texture combinations is something on which we thrive.” In line with this innovative approach to design, the Dorado team brings technologically pioneering products into its process. “Smart or connected kitchens and bathrooms are the buzz,” Carnes says. “We are incorporating smarter, more efficient, high-tech products, especially when it comes to appliances and lighting.”

EXPRESSIONS HOME GALLERY At every Expressions Home Gallery storefront, the goal is to deliver an unmatched customer experience. The company, which supplies high-end products for every area of the home, as well as services for both homeowners and trade professionals, strives to be the ultimate partner in residential design. “We want to make the customer experience simple,” says JC Lutich, manager of the Gilbert and Scottsdale showrooms. “Home projects can be very stressful, and our goal is to simplify the process and create an experience free from frustration.” With transitional and modern designs gaining favor in the kitchen and bathroom alike, the Expressions team is spending ample time working with clean lines, uncluttered spaces, brass fixtures, and gray and white color palettes. “Bringing natural elements into a space has also been a key trend,” Lutich says. “And of course, technology is playing a role, in regard to both appliances and plumbing. You can turn the oven on with your phone or peek, from the grocery store, inside the fridge to see if you’re out of milk.”

Creative freedom. As Lutich tells it, today’s homeowners are less concerned with cohesion and design “rules.”

“Consumers are mixing trends and styles,” he says. “They may choose a traditional vanity with a modern faucet. It’s about their personal look.”

Technological advances. Watersaving plumbing products and LED lighting in appliances are among recent environmentally focused innovations pursued by the industry. “Think of your kitchen or bath as a sanctuary, and be open-minded to new technology, especially in appliances,” Lutich advises.

Central to everyday life and in use multiple times a day, kitchen and bathroom spaces must boast the utmost performance, but aesthetics need not be compromised. That’s where Amanda Rademacher of Fox Den Designs comes in—marrying the necessary with the beautiful. The balance between function and form, and a desire to customize drive Rademacher and her team toward design excellence and client satisfaction. “If I only designed in my personal aesthetic or a ‘Fox Den Designs signature look,’ I would be doing a disservice to my client by taking away their own stamp on the space,” she says. As for her advice to homeowners considering a kitchen or bathroom remodel, Rademacher emphasizes the importance of researching and discussing options in regard to budgets, stylistic preferences and functional needs. “I would suggest taking a look at the new finishes coming out for appliances and fixtures alike,” she says. “I always recommend homeowners create a realistic budget before contacting a design professional. The sky is the limit when it comes to renovation options, so knowing up front how much you want to spend, and which design elements are most important to you, is helpful.”

3

DESIGN WISDOM FROM AMANDA RADEMACHER … + Every well-designed bathroom should have a little pizzazz! It should deserve its place in your home. + The discussion of cohesive style can be a slippery slope. Overall, a design should flow and have purpose, but it doesn’t have to be boring. + The kitchens and bathrooms of 2017 speak to faux finishes; the layering of various textures; colors with more depth, like navy; the mixing of wood tones; and multifunctional furniture.

LORI CARROLL & ASSOCIATES For interior designer Lori Carroll, the goal of each project is simple: “create environments where homeowners can thoughtfully contemplate their surroundings, put their feet up and just be themselves.” The principal of Lori Carroll & Associates, a firm renowned for its whole-home services—kitchen and bathroom design included—Carroll strives to bring a fresh, custom perspective to each client’s residence. But personalization aside, she points to a few factors as essential to successful kitchen and bath design. “A well-designed kitchen should have a sense of comfort,” she says. “It makes a home more livable, inspiring great food and even better conversation. In the bathroom, an amazing focal point is important. The space needs to be soothing, but adding a little drama will set it apart.” As part of her design process, Carroll pays close attention to the materials she uses, from their level of sustainability to the nuanced message each type of product sends. “Materials affect perception,” she explains. “Wood is associated with craftsmanship, featuring texture, pattern, color and a feel that warms a space.

Metal, on the other hand, evokes a colder, more engineered feel.”

“One of the major material trends for 2017 is mixing metals,” Carroll says. “While metals should complement the overall color scheme in a space, there are no rules that say you can’t contrast a dominant metal with other accents. Mixing metals doesn’t have to be related exclusively to color either.

With the huge variety of metal options available for interior design purposes, experimenting with different colors, textures and finishes of metal can have an amazing effect.”

PAUL LAUREN DESIGN CONSULTANTS

It’s a great time to be in this business. I love what I do.

For me, it’s a passion and a calling, not just a job.

”

Asked to explain the philosophy behind Paul Lauren Design Consultants, principal Lauren Rautbord answers by explaining her hands-on process: “The day I am delegating design decisions to others or hurriedly making selections ‘off the shelf’ will be the day I know we’ve become too large.” A Scottsdale-based interior design firm specializing in all areas of the home, Paul Lauren places emphasis on direct contact between client and design professional. As kitchens and bathrooms rank among the home’s most used and beloved spaces, Rautbord is no stranger to perfecting them. She counts aesthetic flow and natural light among her essentials for both environments. “Cohesion in kitchens and bathrooms is so important because these are spaces we want to find calming and centering before and after the frenzy of life in the outside world,” Rautbord says. “Natural light must be considered and is often an influence in the design as a whole. The alpenglow at dusk on the McDowell Mountains is so majestic. It inspires me to optimize how a room can look under different daylight and shade conditions.”

LAUREN RAUTBORD ON …

Her style: While I incorporate many of the same materials—stone, wood, linen, cashmere, raw silk, solid sisal, mohair—there is always a major difference in how they combine and come to life in each project.

The function of today’s home: People have become more practical and look for their home to be a calming environment in which they can recharge their batteries. It’s actually hard to remember the days of formal living spaces.

Taking up with trends: Some trends make comebacks, like polished-brass hardware, but others are fads that never return—shag rugs, for example! We urge our clients to spend their serious money on the classics and indulge in trends and fads with smaller portions of their budget.

SOLSTICE STONE

“

We want to help our clients discover the next generation of stone.

A versatile, beautiful and durable surface material, stone is often considered an essential in the kitchen and bath. And with an impressive selection of unique and inspired textures and finishes, Scottsdale-based Solstice Stone provides a personal experience for each client, resulting in selections that meet stylistic and functional needs. Company president Bill Burke speaks to the role stone can play in a kitchen or bathroom space. “Unique stone products can create harmony in the kitchen and bathroom,” he says. “In the kitchen, they act as visual accents that tie all the different material surfaces together. In the bathroom, they create a personal experience for the end user.” He goes on to advise homeowners to focus on the finish, saying, “It’s less about the type of stone and more about the texture.” Meticulously vetting each quarry and producer, Solstice Stone ensures a product of the highest quality, formed through environmentally friendly practices.

SUB-ZERO AND WOLF SHOWROOM SCOTTSDALE

IN THE SHOWROOM …

The Sub-Zero and Wolf showroom is the best place to freely explore ideas for your new bathroom or kitchen. “Here, it’s all about hands-on planning and learning,” Bakke says. “There’s not a salesperson to be seen. Our staff is here only to provide expert advice and to show you products in real, functioning kitchens. Cook, interact and ask questions. Classes and other events take doubt out of the picture.

And you’re invited.”

Ever since founder Westye Bakke’s earliest pioneering efforts, Sub-Zero has been searching for ways to keep food as fresh and delicious as possible. And with its inception of Wolf in 2000, the company added unparalleled cooking performance to its offerings. From developing an air filtration system inspired by NASA technology that scrubs the air of ethylene gas (which hastens food spoilage), to designing highly specialized equipment that enables any individual to craft exquisite meals, Sub-Zero and Wolf have mastered the art of food. “Since 1945, we have pioneered the science of home refrigeration, developing products that keep food fresh longer,” says Jim Bakke, grandson of Westye and current company president. “Along the way, we’ve revolutionized kitchen design, with built-in and integrated refrigeration that opens up almost infinite layout and decor options.” Still, the bathroom is not to be left behind. Allow Sub-Zero and Wolf to enhance your morning ritual, with warming drawers for towels, and coffee systems and undercounter refrigeration, which can fit seamlessly into any design for all your beverage needs.

“

Make memories—and meals—in a kitchen outfitted with Sub-Zero and Wolf.

aving spent years studying antiques and period artwork, Susan and Carter Emerson have amassed an impressive collection of historical objects. The Chicago couple have come to own Italian sardine pots, an 18th-century painting of St. Peter they purchased in Peru and more pieces from all over the globe. “Everything they have is very authentic and has a great provenance,” says designer Dana Lyon. “Susan will research a piece and find out, for instance, it was used in the 15th century as a dowry chest.”

Naturally, when the Emersons decided to purchase a vacation home in Arizona, they wanted something special.

“We were looking for a unique home,” says Susan, a self-described lover of “things with history” who worked in advertising before becoming an antiques dealer. The couple had trouble finding anything of interest until they happened upon a Pueblo Revival home with guest casita in Scottsdale

LX_AZ41_HOM_Lyon_16.indd 282

by architect Lee Hutchison of Urban Design Associates.

The residence checked off everything on their wish list: It was comfortably proportioned but not cavernous, had plenty of open-air spaces and showed off the authentic detailing they so desired.

Carter, however, still needed a little convincing. The gardens were in serious need of a refresh, and the interior woodwork was a jumble of colors. Then there was the matter of the paint choices. “The exterior was liver mauve, and the ramada was bright purple inside,” Susan recalls.

“I think there was some turquoise, too.” But the owner could see through the offending hues to the bones of the house, which she envisioned as the perfect foil for the couple’s growing collection of antiques.

Working with builders David Nielsen and Chuck Sherrill, the Emersons began an extensive remodel to strip away details incompatible with the home’s beautiful lines. This meant redoing the kitchen and bathrooms, re-staining

A Pueblo Revival house in Scottsdale offers the perfect canvas for an elegantly pareddown update by designer Dana Lyon, who worked closely with homeowner Susan Emerson to unify the spaces. Susan and her husband, Carter, hired landscape architect Kim Arevalo to redesign the grounds, which included planting full-size mesquite trees to increase shade.

7/28/17 1:37 PM

Antique Mexican doors and a custom chandelier by Hacienda Lights & Iron welcome visitors in the entrance courtyard of the house, which was designed by architect Lee Hutchison of Urban Design Associates. “It’s a true Pueblo house,” Susan says. “It’s human scale and architecturally correct.”

Flagstone floors, white walls and refurbished woodwork set the tone in the entrance hall, where an antique Mexican mesquite table from Colonial Frontiers joins a French iron mirror. An Albert L. Groll landscape hangs above an antique Spanish vessel from Relics.

With its restrained palette, the living room reflects the home’s streamlined aesthetic.

woodwork, rebuilding an interior wall in the entrance hall, recutting the fireplace in the high-ceilinged living room, re-stuccoing, repainting and even changing all the hardware. The outside received a facelift, too, as landscape architect Kim Arevalo installed full-size mesquite trees, fragrant jasmine and rosemary, transforming the gardens into a lush desert sanctuary.

All this progress was a big step in the right direction, but when it came time to furnish the residence, the Emersons found themselves at a crossroads. That’s when Susan remembered a house they had seen during their home search: Lyon’s elegant yet understated residence, which was for sale at the time. The couple decided to meet with the designer, and she and Susan immediately recognized a shared love for clean-lined spaces. “I’m a minimalist; I like to keep things simple,” the wife says. “Dana does, too. With Dana, less is truly more.”

For her part, Lyon welcomed the chance to collaborate with a client who understands design, particularly using antiques. “There’s an authenticity to how Susan decorates,” the designer says. “The couple’s Chicago home is near a farm, and it’s true to its surroundings. That house feels very natural when you go from one space to another.” Aiming to recreate that flow in Scottsdale, Lyon began building on the foundation the couple had established. She layered rooms with contemporary pieces, neutral fabrics and upholstery and natural rugs that complement the flagstone floors and warm-toned woodwork. Her understated approach puts the spotlight on such architectural features as a gracefully curving staircase, archways, exposed rafters and coved ceilings.

An 18th-century oil of St. Peter the couple found on a trip to Peru is displayed in a hall above a 15th-century Italian cassone, or wedding chest.

“We used the same white paint throughout the home,” Lyon says of Farrow & Ball’s Clunch, which establishes a crisply neutral background.

“I wanted to keep the spaces tailored, so there’s a very limited use of materials and colors,” Lyon explains.

“What that does is makes the antiques come alive—and Susan and Carter have some gorgeous antiques.” Indeed, throughout the house are items such as the 15th-century Italian wedding chest Lyon placed in a hallway, a circa-1780 Spanish Colonial table now used as a coffee table in the living room and an 18th-century French armoire in the dining room. Looking right at home in their Southwest setting, these items coexist easily with pieces Lyon designed for the house, such as cowhide-upholstered tub chairs in

LX_AZ41_HOM_Lyon_16.indd 290

the living room, a clavo-studded bed in the casita, rustic equipales on the loggia and custom iron light fixtures.

Lyon’s clean approach shows off a thoughtfully curated collection of antiques—but only those her clients use and enjoy the most. “We have to think about how we live our lives,” the designer explains. It’s a mind-set the Emersons couldn’t agree with more, one that gives their beloved belongings new life in the Southwest. “The furniture and the fabrics don’t fight the house, and you’re not distracted by lots of little things,” Susan says. “This project was about simplicity, the way things work together.”

7/28/17 1:37 PM

Southwestern-style ceilings—coved in the bedroom and featuring latillas and vigas in the sitting area—add interest in the master suite. Over the airy four-poster is an 1850 Mexican retablo of St. Michael. The Paul Ferrante iron table lamps are from John Brooks Incorporated. In the sitting area, a 19th-century French trunk on stand from Colonial Frontiers serves as an end table.

Right: A sitting area in the casita features a rustic equipale chair made by Lyon and a floor of saltillo tiles. The antique pot and birdcage were purchased by the owners. “Dana understands good bones,” Susan says. “You don’t have to change everything but instead maximize and complement what you have.”

A freestanding tub lends the master bathroom the feeling of a retreat. “Outside, there’s jasmine growing, and when it blooms in springtime there are little white flowers,” the wife says. Shutters are from the Biltmore Shutter Company; the cowhide rug is from Sunland Home Decor. Lyon re-covered the clients’ Afghan ottoman.

The loggia off the living room offers cool respite on warm afternoons.

Here, Lyon designed large-scale pieces—traditional equipales and a wood-and-iron table—to stand up to the high-ceilinged space and satisfy her clients’ request for comfortable seating. She also modified the sizable light fixture from Hacienda Lights & Iron.

The flagstone tile used inside continues outside to the tileroofed guest casita. To make room for new trees and plants such as prickly pear cactus and teddy bear chollas, Arevalo found new homes for existing plants. “The idea was to keep the palette simple and give the garden some dimension,� she explains.

“I’M TRYING TO MAKE ART THAT SPEAKS BROADLY TO THE HUMAN CONDITION.”

E

xcavation is such a pleasure to me,” says Phoenix sculptor Patricia Sannit. It’s a natural statement from a former archeology student, but in this case the artist is talking about digging into ideas as well as the earth. Sparked by a fascination with “things covered by time, memory and experience,” Sannit works in clay, creating large-scale installations composed of hundreds of pieces—the seeming remains of lost civilizations. With textures reminiscent of petrified wood, ancient pottery, fallen temples and scraps of dead language, her sculptures are simultaneously elegiac and hopeful.

As a society, “we keep creating things, destroying them and starting over again,” observes Sannit, who works from a light-filled studio connected to her home. “I’m trying to make art that speaks broadly to the human condition.” This cycle of creation and destruction is a critical component of her work. Relying primarily on repurposed clay donated by

local colleges and art studios, Sannit’s keen awareness of “the fingerprints of previous makers” is matched by a pragmatic recognition that the scale of her pieces requires “tons of clay.” Broken down into chunks and recombined, each batch of clay ends up with its own subtle quality. Varying proportions of minerals such as iron and manganese create vagaries in color, while differing amounts of sand, grog or vermiculite influence texture. Sannit shapes the clay into beads or disks, and as the material becomes leather hard, she uses a range of tools to incise the nougat-like surfaces. She eventually finds a place for each piece, stacking them into larger sculptures or installations.

“The stacking relates to the passage of time,” the artist explains. “As the larger piece comes together, the detail is hidden. No one will ever see it, and I like that.”

Sannit’s studio—with its bare cement floors, white walls and natural wood shelving—is a calm counterpoint to her brain-swirl of

One wall of the artist’s studio (left) is a “visual repository,” says Sannit (shown opposite) for pieces she’ll try out in different sculptures. Smaller works include Disintegrating Loop V (below), which is made of clay, vermiculite, aluminum and feldspar, and a work of clay and bone (bottom) from her All My Babies are Beautiful series.

influences: Navajo rugs, Bedouin needlework and Norwegian textiles, along with imagined conversations with artists like Louise Nevelson, Richard Serra, Constantin Brancusi and Robert Smithson. Finn, her mixed-breed rescue dog, provides a foil to Sannit’s sometimes frenetic energy. “He’s a speed bump,” she says fondly.

In fact, her participation in a recent two-person show at the Mesa Contemporary Art Museum, a solo exhibition at the Phoenix Art Museum through September 17 and a major commission she’s working on for a public art installation in Belleview, Washington, have had the artist running at a velocity that only fans her enthusiasm for the future.

Sannit’s curiosity and sense of adventure are leading her to experiment with larger work as well as with the addition of color. Melted onto the surface of her most recent pieces, black copper oxide adds texture and contrast, while the mineral feldspar imparts a milky, melty look the artist loves. “Now I’m wondering: What else melts?” she laughs. “I like process, materials and finding out what happens. The revelation is thrilling and mysterious.”

Sannit and her dog, Finn, stand outside her studio (above, left), which is outfitted with tools (left). Like most of her works, Pinch Pot (above, right) evokes an archeological find. Section A17 (opposite, left) is composed of stacked disks, while In Situ (opposite, right) “is embedded in the strata, emerging from or sinking back into the clay,” the artist says.

F

or an outdoor-loving couple who acquired a vacation home in Scottsdale, their new house checked all the boxes: It was on a single level (save for a guest room), featured a spacious open floor plan and enjoyed both mountain and city views. But with dark-beige walls and heavy woodwork, the interiors were badly in need of a facelift. “It was very ornate—almost gothic,” designer Laura Kehoe recalls, “and we’re not in a castle.”

Kehoe’s task was to brighten the space—which included replacing nearly 100 light fixtures—and decorate the home using many of her clients’ furnishings, antiques and art, which they had purchased over 30 years and seven home renovations in California. This time, the wife was going for a Santa Barbara look—a Mediterranean style characterized by whitewashed walls contrasting with dark beams and dark window and door frames. It seemed to be the only direction to take, she felt, considering the structure’s stucco façade and barrel-tile roof.

Fortunately, the dark beams and trim were already there. For the walls, the team turned to a trusty standby, Dunn-Edwards’ Cottage White paint, which the wife had used in most of her other renovations. Once again, it paid off. “The bright wall color makes everything stand out,” says Kehoe, who also whitewashed the dark kitchen cabinets and replaced the brown granite counters with bright quartzite.

Kehoe then took inventory of more than 200 of her clients’ belongings to determine what would go where.

Her team measured the dimensions of every piece of furniture and art and entered them into computer layouts.

Without pushing a single bureau across a room, “we moved things around three or four times,” Kehoe says.

The digital rearranging also revealed what new pieces were needed and where. The curved breakfast nook, for instance, is now filled with a custom banquette wearing a vintage-inspired fabric that complements the homeowners’

Landscape designer Chad Norris used multiple varieties of cactus to establish a flow from the front of the house to the back. “The landscape starts at the driveway corner,” he explains, “and we build that drama up to the front entry.”

She also updated the existing wood armchair with a Schumacher fabric from Dean-Warren for the back and Calvin Fabrics upholstery from John Brooks Incorporated for the seat.

antiques. Nearby, Kehoe designed upholstered armchairs on swivels in the living room so guests can partake in lively conversation in the sitting area or swing around to chat at the adjacent bar, depending on the flow of a gathering.

“It was really important that no one feel isolated at a party,” the designer explains. “The owners wanted to make a resort-like living area.”

Equally important was changing out the massive front door. “It was super dark,” the wife observes. For the arched doorway that stands more than 11 feet tall, Kehoe designed a new frosted-glass entry that admits plenty of light while protecting the owners’ privacy. The space’s window frames are echoed in the lighting fixture she chose for the peakedroof alcove. The light that now pours through the foyer “gives a whimsical, almost magical glow,” the designer says.

LX_AZ41_HOM_Kehoe_14.indd 311

Enhancing the drama is an antique priest’s vestments chest that stands opposite a giant portrait of the Madonna, which originally hung in a French church.

With the interiors well on their way, the wife turned her attention to the landscaping, which consisted of turf front and back—a practical choice for the desert. A certified master gardener, she hired landscape designer Chad Norris, who modified the size of the turf and planted nearly two dozen cactus varieties in all shapes, sizes and colors to flow from front to back. He was particularly keen on how the rear gardens would be seen from the front door, which offers direct sight lines through the interiors to the mountainframed grounds behind. “These are living-art picture frames,” Norris says. “I wanted to create vignettes outside that could be enjoyed daytime or nighttime, 24 hours a day.”

Kehoe tore out the kitchen’s existing island and replaced it with a smaller version covered in bright Taj Mahal quartzite from Arizona Tile to make room for the owners’ antique dropleaf table. The antique-brass pendant lights are by Visual Comfort & Co.

On the back patio, Kehoe combined the owners’ existing farm table with new chairs by Palecek, accented with tribal-print pillows in Sunbrella fabric. Over the fireplace, she hung one of the residents’ “all-time favorite” pieces: a large plate in the style of Italian Renaissance painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo.

Kehoe designed built-in shelving next to the master bathroom’s Signature Hardware tub. The Lunada Bay mosaic tile is from Facings of America, the stool is custom, and the pendant light is by Currey & Company.

As might be expected from a certified master gardener, the wife has a thing for pots. “They’re part of all my gardens, and they travel with me—they’re far better than jewelry,” she muses. Among her collection are crude stone pots, formerly water purifiers, from Central Mexico that were a 15th-anniversary gift from her husband. All of them are now placed artfully around the grounds and brimming with “stunning cacti arrangements or minimally planted with a single agave,” says Norris, who strategically added boulders to the landscape as well. To look as if the plantings had naturally grown up around the stones, he explains, “they needed to be big boulders—the same kind on Pinnacle Peak,” which is visible in the distance.

Kehoe also worked outside, blending new pieces with her clients’ collections in exterior living spaces.

In the outdoor seating area, for instance, she mixed colorful modern chairs with an existing farm table, a della Robbia-style wall sculpture and stone fragments from a French château that serve as cocktail tables. “It’s a nice juxtaposition between traditional pieces and cleaner, lighter seating,” she says.

At first, Kehoe admits, it was daunting to combine so much preexisting furniture—much more than most clients bring to a project—with new and custom pieces. But, like doing a jigsaw puzzle, the process was engaging and the results immensely satisfying. “It’s unique—unlike any other home we’ve done before,” she says.

A mixed-media piece by Susan Osborne from Art One Gallery provides a focal point in the master bedroom. Kehoe reupholstered the homeowners’ bed in Glant’s Geometric Sand and covered their antique armchair in Ralph Lauren fabric. At the foot of the bed is an antique bench the owners found in Paris.

T

he desert is a place of wild mood swings and intense contrasts—temperatures ranging from scalding at high noon to woolen-sweater weather by twilight; bright blue skies giving way to vivid sunsets at dusk; bone-dry landscapes suddenly made lush from downpours in minutes. Like its setting, this Scottsdale home in the private community of Desert Mountain revels in the tension arising from the juxtaposition of opposites.

That starts with the homeowners, says interior designer John G. Martin, who decorated the house with his partner, David P. Turner. Martin met the couple, who spend half the year in Chicago, in 2008 when they asked him to tweak the interiors of a previous home they owned in the same community. “The house was very commercial and very blank,” he recalls. “These clients are totally the opposite.

They are very personable.”

That project kicked off a professional and personal relationship that has transformed the retired couple’s aesthetic over the ensuing nine years. “Our tastes have evolved,” the husband says. “Nowadays we like a cleaner modern look, but we also like things to be warm.” Their current home is prime evidence of that evolution. Originally designed by architect Linc Taylor of Linc Taylor Design, the residence is a resolutely modernist structure of stacked flagstone and expansive walls of glass framed in blackened steel. After seeing it, “we bought it the very next day,” the husband says.

Still, alterations were necessary. “My least favorite space was the part that was most important to me: the kitchen,” recalls the husband, who loves to cook. “I was lukewarm about it.” In response, the designers reworked the prominent pantry, which was initially enclosed by a nondescript sheetrock wall. Martin covered the wall with laminate that resembles Shou Sugi Ban, a cedar Japanese artisans have traditionally preserved by charring it black.

“It created this very dramatic wood-like presence,” he says. Now, the space complements the house’s other materials. “The black in this environment was drawn from the blackened-steel window frames,” Martin explains. The laminate serves another purpose: In one simple gesture, 320 / luxesource.com

John G. Martin and David P. Turner renovated the interiors of a Chicago couple’s Scottsdale vacation home, which was originally designed by architect Linc Taylor of Linc Taylor Design. Next to the plate-glass front door in the entry portico, the designers arranged a weathered-teak table laden with antique Chinese wood buckets.

Rudin sofa and loveseat covered in Osborne & Little fabric from Dean-Warren anchor a seating area in the living room, which includes custom swivel armchairs in a Designers Guild fabric, also from Dean-Warren. Above the fireplace is a painting by David Dauncey from Costello Childs Gallery; on the coffee table is a ceramic bowl by Darcy Badiali.

A work by Lisa McLean hangs in the kitchen on the pantry wall, which the designers covered in Shou Sugi Ban laminate for a bold effect. The space is outfitted with an Ultralights ironbanded pendant, Eurofase recessed lighting, ebonized-ash barstools and various antique vessels—all sourced through Turner Martin Design. Outside the window is a steel-panel fence the designers added to create a more dramatic sense of arrival.

“THE KITCHEN’S BLACK LAMINATE CREATED THIS VERY DRAMATIC WOOD-LIKE PRESENCE.” –JOHN G. MARTIN

Two more pendants from Ultralights hang above the dining room’s table and black leather chairs; Loren Yagoda’s calligraphic painting from Costello Childs Gallery perches on a custom easel made by Elliot’s Custom Welding and Fabrication. Throughout the house, “the art is very tactile and very graphic,” Martin says.

LX_AZ41_HOM_TurnerMartin_18.indd 326

7/28/17 1:52 PM

A palm-wood vessel acquired through Turner Martin Design cuts an imposing presence in the entry hall; the rustic table is from China. “Lots of found objects, such as the primitive wood pieces, add visual interest,” Martin says.

“the kitchen, with no appliance changes, became unified with the great room,” he says. The designers continued the laminate into the adjacent dry bar, the entrance to the master bedroom and the opposite end of the hallway, where they added a mirror to create the illusion the hallway continues on.

This dusky, inky shade complements the art the designers helped the couple collect, which leans heavily toward abstract black-and-white pieces that are graphic and gestural. Amid the mix of paintings and photographs, ethnic artifacts speak both to the monochromatic palette and the rough-hewn character of the flagstone. A hollowed-out

palm tree stump near the entry, chunky Dogon ladders in the open living-dining area and Balinese doors hung on a guest room wall mimic minimalist sculptures. Set against streamlined modern furniture, these rustic pieces with organic shapes and finishes create another high contrast in the house.

Other decor items help produce a sense of intimacy, something the clients’ former residence lacked—and with the open plan of the main rooms, this home was in danger of suffering a similar fate. Many of the new light fixtures echo the black steel framing, but they are positioned in a way that humanizes the spaces. For instance, over luxesource.com / 327

Stacked local stone and plenty of plate glass—mixed with stuccocovered concrete—allow the modernist structure to feel at one with the saguaro-dotted landscape.

Martin designed the overall look of the grounds and worked with landscape designer Ervin Bollinger, who selected the appropriate vegetation for each area.

An artist in his spare time, Martin created the works on the wall.

Opposite: An Erik Gonzales painting in the master bedroom hangs above a West Elm console table illuminated by a Sonneman lamp. At the foot of the custom bed is an A. Rudin sofa in Robert Allen fabric from Pacific Resource Group. Underfoot is an Indian rug of jute and hemp from Turner Martin Design.

the live-edge dining room table, the designers hung two pendants “that drop lower over the table, which creates a more intimate space,” Martin says. “They offer a mood for entertaining and great conversation.”

However, one aspect of the previous residence the designers did want to recreate was a definitive arrival area. Nestled into the surrounding desert, the new home lacked a clear entrance. Martin’s remedy? “I designed a fence of panels that architecturally complements the house, especially the upper windows of the interior,” he says. Guests now enter through a gate and step down to the front door. To shape the nearby scenery, Martin worked

with landscape designer Ervin Bollinger to replace scrubby plantings with more linearly arranged ones, giving it a modern character. Larger boulders and more generously scaled plants complete the look.

The landscape modifications ground the house even more with its surroundings—a substantial contrast to what the owners were used to at their other residences. Now, they engage with the shifting moods of the desert through the comfort of their own home. “Rarely have we had a home where we spend a lot of time in the living room,” the husband says. “But to sit here in the afternoon with a book and look out over the desert and the saguaros is wonderful.”

With the interiors so prominently visible from the back patio, the designers considered it vital to continue their decorating ethos outside. To that end, they chose streamlined pieces from RH Modern for the exterior dining and living areas.
