_LX_COM12_EditorLetter.indd 84
The season of renewal (current projects! fresh ideas!) is here—and yet spring can also be a time when buds take a tad longer to bloom and concepts need coaxing to get started. We’ve all been there with the proverbial blank page staring us down. So, consider this New + Now issue to be an inspiration injection, where we update your point of view with discoveries that allow you to step outside the day-to-day and dive into something altogether new. Costas Voyatzis, the man behind yatzer.com, the global kaleidoscope of what’s happening in art, fashion and design, lets us in on the top brands to watch in 2017. We also
present the latest in side tables, report on the trend of vivid color making its way into homes across the country (Farrow & Ball Chappell Green, I have my eyes on you!), and head outdoors for a showcase of sumptuous new textiles. This spring, we also invite you online to the enhanced luxesource.com. Browse around and take a look. We’ll be tweaking things in the weeks to come, but hope you enjoy our ever-evolving digital home for design inspiration and discovery.

BEHIND THE SCENES PRODUCED BY SARAH RAMIREZ
LIZ ARNOLD Writer / New York Favorite Luxe interview: I really enjoyed speaking with designer Michael Siller and luxury rug specialist Larry Hokanson about their own Houston home. They are both history buffs and enthusiasts of Russian classicism, and they are incredibly knowledgeable on the intersection of history and design. They filled their interiors with reproductions of exquisite pieces selected during trips to The State Hermitage Museum in Russia, and I still have plans to show up on their doorstep one day to see it for myself! Who is the most fascinating person you’ve ever met? Eva Zeisel. She was a playful Hungarian-born industrial designer who was imprisoned by Joseph Stalin’s regime before moving her ceramics into mass production, and she had the first one-woman show at the MoMA. Sadly, she passed away in 2011 at the age of 105. Prized possessions: A coin pendant of Queen Elizabeth II—a gift from my late father—that I wear on a long necklace; a vintage French upholstered armchair in mustard yellow that’s so low you feel like you’re in a sports car; and my computer, which stores all of my writing and ideas.
EMILY MINTON REDFIELD Photographer / Denver
What do you find inspiring about design today? Having nostalgia for 1970s wallpaper, I love seeing the new designs and appreciation for this art form. I can’t wait to put an Abigail Borg paper in my powder room and make it a fresh, retro jewel box. Unforgettable Luxe shoot: One of my most memorable projects was a home designed by my visionary father, Joseph Minton. Not only were the house and location beautiful, but I was also able to do the shoot in my pajamas alongside my dad. On your coffee table: I am inspired by design books and have them all over my house, but I am mostly fueled by fiction. My recent favorites are City of Thieves by David Benioff and All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. Most fascinating person you’ve ever met: The Maharaja of Jaipur at a small dinner party in Delhi, India, when I was 24.
LX_COM12_Contributors.indd 98
MARK ROSKAMS Photographer / New York Whose work are you most influenced by? Photographer Raymond Meier, who does such brilliant and innovative work in the commercial advertising and editorial fields; photographer François Halard, who developed a unique style in the world of interior photography; and designer and artist Doug Meyer, a longtime friend and collaborator who gives me so much inspiration in regards to design. What type of design inspires you? I really enjoy Santiago Calatrava’s bridges, buildings and public spaces, as well as Brutalist architecture of the old regimes, which are such amazing structures in their own right. Favorite assignments: In 2010, I worked on a book with Rizzoli in Puglia, Italy, and then on a second book last year. They were both great projects, and the memories of meeting people and seeing firsthand the beauty of many things—humanity, history, architecture, life, food and passion—will last forever. I am continuing this endeavor with a new book I am planning this year on the stables and barns of the British Isles.
LAURA FISHER KAISER Writer / Washington, D.C. My biggest creative influence comes from… Viewing art. I try to go to a museum once a week. Dream assignment: I would love to have a time-machine talk show called What Were You Thinking, where I interview famous, and infamous, people from history. Most-loved book: The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt’s New World by Andrea Wulf. She rummages through the scientist’s notebooks and inside his mind to show how his ideas helped create modern environmentalism. What advice would you give your 20-year-old self? Think big, but master the details. Also, find a good therapist. If not a writer, I would be… A Smithsonian museum curator.

MAKING DESIGNERS AND CRAFTSMEN FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ARE BUILDING NEW FUTURES TOGETHER AND REDEFINING WHAT IT MEANS TO BE MADE IN AMERICA. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA
The portrait of an artist as a solitary genius, toiling away and perfecting his craft in isolation, may be a romantic notion—a testament to a love of artistry so intense and allconsuming that nothing else matters—but it’s also a relic of the past. Today’s craftsmen and creatives don’t want to suffer for their art; instead, they’re using their creations to build bridges not only to the people who will ultimately invite the pieces into their homes but also to those who share their passions: fellow makers. As manufacturing in America continues to fight to thrive in the competitive global economy, the you-can’tsit-with-us mentality is giving way to communal tables, which in many cases have been built in collaboration by the people who sit around them. In places all over the country, this longing for connection is redefining what it means to be made in America, resulting in growing communities of independent designers who work side by side, collaborate regularly and sell their wares together. Here, we share some of our favorites.

NEW YORK WHAT IT IS: Located on Canal Street in New York City, Colony is equal parts showroom and gallery with carefully curated goods from independent designers—many with ties to the area and working studios in nearby Brooklyn. Founded and curated by entrepreneur Jean Lin, the design co-op also has a strategic arm, named Colony Consult, developed to help designers better position their work in the retail market. WHAT IT DOES: Colony provides a community for the furniture, lighting, textile and object designers who call it home. In addition to offering a brick-and-mortar location for members to showcase their goods, Lin also thinks outside the box with a series of exhibits and pop-ups with neighboring non-endemic businesses to drive new traffic to the space. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Industry darlings like Erickson Aesthetics, whose in-progress copper Manifold chair is featured on our Radar opener, count themselves part of Colony, as do craftsman and designer Aaron Poritz (pictured far right), whose gorgeous Abner toolbox (shown on the previous page) offers both form and function; lighting upstart Allied Maker and its Voyager 333 chandelier (shown right, top); and the woodworking wunderkinds behind Vonnegut/Kraft, who are responsible for the handsome Black Crescent lounge (right, bottom).
▲ JOIN DESIGN
SEATTLE WHAT IT IS: Founded in 2008 by the prolific minds behind some of the Pacific Northwest’s most successful creative practices—Grain, Iacoli & McAllister and Ladies & Gentlemen Studio, for example—Join Design has become much more than a venture to showcase local talents and now includes more than 50 members
LX_COM12_Radar_Made_In_America.indd 104
from independent design studios all over the country. WHAT IT DOES: In addition to hosting events and exhibits featuring products (made in the USA, of course) from its impressive roster of makers, Join also solicits new product design, curates its own collections for popular trade shows, offers mentorship programs and organizes retail pop-ups. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Multimedia artist Aleksandra Pollner’s
unique and modern approach to traditional furniture constructs, as shown in the table above, left, is breathtaking; designer Melanie Abrantes creates chic accessories (above, right) using beautifully grained wood and cork, the nonconventional material of our dreams; and The Granite’s expert handling of form and function makes even the most mundane of objects extraordinary.

L.A. BOX COLLECTIVE
LOS ANGELES WHAT IT IS: A community built by Los Angelesbased furniture makers, L.A. Box Collective started as a way to bond over the group’s shared commitment to working with sustainable materials while engaged in sustainable practices— something they continue to honor through a particularly thoughtful mission statement. WHAT IT DOES: Not only does the collective encourage and provide support to makers who seek to tackle their craft with a mindful approach to the environment, it also puts on joint exhibitions of work completed under a common theme: For example, last year, its 10 members debuted a show at the Craft & Folk Art Museum, titled “Windfall,” which featured new works crafted exclusively from wood sourced from local trees felled during California’s historic San Gabriel Valley windstorm of 2011. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Casey Dzierlenga splits her time between Los Angeles and her home base in New York’s Hudson River Valley, where she mostly mills wood from her own land before transforming it into clean-lined masterpieces with an organic feel, as demonstrated by the wonderfully simplistic yet impactful aesthetic of the Alma credenza and Lorca coffee table
(shown above and right); while a foundation and love for midcentury designers fuels designer and craftsman David Johnson’s original works as well as his careful Danish modern restoration projects that somehow capture and preserve their makers’ intentions while offering up a little something extra.
PARIS WHAT IT IS: A Paris-based showroom dedicated to introducing international design lovers to the best of American design, Triode is expanding the conversation surrounding what it means for a product to be made in America to a whole new audience. Founder Jacques Barret presents this generation of American classics along with reissues from greats like Finn Juhl and Richard Neutra. WHAT IT DOES: Barret is making the domestic design movement cool again by bringing it to the epicenter of global chic, Paris— home to one of the furniture industry’s most well-respected yearly celebrations, Maison & Objet—and allowing the pieces to stand on their own against friendly competition from all over the globe. DESIGNERS TO WATCH: Based in New York, Anna Karlin’s eye-catching contemporary furniture forms (shown at left) feel vaguely European but are all produced with the help of local artisans; and Apparatus, Rosie Li and Bec Brittain’s illuminated offerings break the mold on traditional lighting from studios in Brooklyn.

HUBBARDTON FORGE’S DESIGN DIRECTOR DAVID KITTS SHARES HOW ONE OF THE COUNTRY’S OLDEST AND LARGEST COMMERCIAL FORGES IN OPERATION IS EXPANDING—WITH ITS NEWEST LINE, VERMONT MODERN—AND REDEFINING AMERICAN CRAFTSMANSHIP. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRITTANY S. CHEVALIER
Speaking of process, tell us how you brought your visions to life. Our design process starts off very hands-on: We make a sketch and often work with steel, paper or foam models, and then we figure out how to illuminate the initial concept. As an unconventional design group, we were able to “loosen up” and really have fun with the offerings. We quickly realized, though, that fun isn’t always easy; there’s a fine line between a design that is simple and a design that is pure. Striving for this purity has been both enjoyable and challenging. Why is it so important to continue to honor the company’s tradition of craft? It’s a part of Hubbardton Forge’s legacy—the commitment to the handmade—and it was one of the driving forces behind Vermont Modern. Everyone here believes in it, which is good since a lot of people contribute to the final product. For example, three different departments work intently on constructing the actual form—from molding and cutting the steel to cleaning raw edges and prepping the material for welding. After the elements are forged
LX_COM12_Radar_Debut.indd 108
together, they’re cleaned again before heading to the final three departments, starting with the finishing team. In this stage, the products are powder-coated and cured in our ovens, then sent to assembly, where they are completed and tested before shipping out. Share some of the materials you added to this line to complement Hubbardton’s signature steel. We introduced Vermont maple in a natural finish that is locally sourced from Maple Landmark, a wooden toy crafter 30 miles north of the forge in Vermont. We thought the wood element added a nice natural contrast to the steel, and its natural state adds a touch of Danish modern appeal.
Do you have a favorite piece in the collection? While I am intrigued by the Metro pendant (shown here), and the duality of its piping acting as a functional and primary decorative element, I am also drawn to our Copernicus design. It is very different from anything we have ever done, as it is very minimal and comprises only three basic components: an LED light, steel rails, and wooden balls that act as isolators. In the past, we would have tried to add a forged-steel element to give it something more, but with Vermont Modern we are really trying to keep the design pure by boiling it down to its innate essence.
PHOTO: JUDE GOLDMAN .
Hubbardton Forge’s newest collection is innovative and fresh and marks a shift from its more traditional offerings. What was the inspiration behind the line? The initial goal for Vermont Modern was to appeal to a younger, more urban demographic, to people who appreciate high-quality, contemporary design from a socially responsible domestic manufacturer who still crafts each piece one at a time.

RADAR / BEHIND THE BRAND
Family Affair MCKINNON AND HARRIS EMBRACES A LOCAL, HANDMADE ETHOS, INSTILLING A SENSE OF TRADITION AND PLACE IN THE COMPANY’S OUTDOOR FURNISHINGS.
“We always say that we don’t want to be the biggest outdoor furniture maker in the world; we just want to be the best,” says Anne Massie, the cofounder, with her brother Will, of Richmond, Virginia-based McKinnon and Harris. For the siblings, the key to being the best means keeping things local. The pair opened their doors in 1991, and the area, itself a historic center of craft, provides a spark that has allowed the company to thrive. Says Will Massie, “McKinnon and Harris could never live in an industrial park; we crave the energy and inspiration of our city.” Born from rough pencil sketches, McKinnon and Harris’ furnishings are handmade in a workshop flooded with light thanks to a clerestory running the length of the building. After being refined by the Massies and their team of engineers, the designs are put into production in a process relying on methods both old and new. Hammers, mallets, hand files of varying shapes and sizes, chisels and clamps can be found in the factory, along with a 62-person force of craftspeople who possess knowledge and skill born of years of practice. “You can palpably feel the drive for excellence and innovation and hear the hum of hands working and the sounds of metal being formed,” says Will. Time-honored practices, though, share space with cutting-edge technology, especially when it comes to the company’s coating process, which manages to be both environmentally friendly and effective. Inspiration for their pieces comes from traditional sources: A new collection launching this spring came by way of a nautical-feeling, French Art Deco chair from the 1930s. The roots of new designs also start closer to home—namely from Anne’s garden at her historic residence. “Spending a lot of time there makes it easy to realize what would
LX_COM12_Radar_BehindTheBrand.indd 110
make my own outdoor spaces more comfortable,” she shares. There’s also the Wyatt garden table collection, titled after the Massies’ grandmother, Ella Wyatt McKinnon Massie, while their Beaufort club chairs are named after a family dog always on the lookout for the most comfortable seat. The siblings are committed to keeping their focus on outdoor furnishings and their operations local. “Absolutely no one knows as much as we do about building and coating beautiful aluminum furniture,” notes Anne. “For now, we plan to continue innovating and perfecting our first love.” And, in keeping with that smaller yet better ethos, they’re staying small and close to home. “Our pieces deserve to never see a factory floor,” says Will. “Plus, it would be impossible to achieve our level of perfection on any larger of a scale. Mass-producing McKinnon and Harris’ Beaufort club chairs gather around a Wyatt table or overseas manufacturing would (top) at the home of company cofounder Will Massie (shown center, left, be a completely soulless endeavor, with sister and business partner Anne Massie); the duVal-Alexander sun and we couldn’t do it.” bed is shown above.

DESIGN PASSPORT LOOKING TO BOOKMARK A NEW MUST-READ WEBSITE? LUXE CATCHES UP WITH COSTAS VOYATZIS, THE CREATIVE FORCE BEHIND YATZER.COM AND ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING VOICES IN INTERNATIONAL DESIGN. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA PORTRAIT BY YIORGOS KAPLANIDIS
What made you decide to launch Yatzer? My obligatory draft in the Greek military came up. I had actually delayed it for quite a while, but at the age of 26, I couldn’t put it off anymore. So, I was drafted, and I had to leave my job, the career I was forging and all the contacts I had made behind, and I worried that the year and a half in the military would halt my career. It was this fear, that I’d lose touch with the industry, that actually became the catalyst for yatzer.com. I wanted to stay connected even though I wasn’t physically present. It began as my private blog and evolved into what it is today. Share your most-loved part of the job. I love to attend trade shows and do market coverage because I always discover hidden design gems. Although it takes days to complete my research after the shows, I can’t wait to press the publish button and share my discoveries with people who don’t have the chance to travel

Perhaps it’s not hard to believe that the same place that gave us the Acropolis and the Parthenon—Athens, Greece—would still be making major offerings to the worlds of architecture and design. Today’s contributions, though, aren’t being built with painstakingly stacked brick or stone, but with pixels: Greek native Costas Voyatzis’ international website, yatzer.com, has become an undeniable resource for design lovers all over the globe. Here, Voyatzis, a former magazine editor and avid traveler, retraces the path that led him to creating one of the hottest corners on the web and serves as the super-hip tour guide for all the best of the overseas creative scene. yatzer.com

and attend these shows but want to “relive” them through my eyes. But, also, it is important to cover these events for the people—designers and companies—who, although they have participated in the shows, due to their hectic schedules, don’t even have the time to check out what’s happening in the stand around the corner from theirs or in a different hall from the one they are in. Do you have any favorite trade shows? Definitely the first place belongs to Salone del Mobile Milano, which is a part of a much bigger event, Milano Design Week. Although there is never enough time to see everything, it is still the place where the industry’s major trends are born. Next, I have to mention Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair, because who can ignore Scandinavian design? And, then, the Biennale Interieur in Kortrijk, Belgium, which has been happening every two years since 1968; the careful curatorial job behind it is visible in every detail of the fair. Top five brands to watch in 2017: For furniture, I’ve got my eye on Ginger & Jagger out of Porto, Portugal; for lighting, London’s Bert Frank has so much promise; Fabscarte from Milan has my vote for shaking up the world of wallpapers; Barcelona-based Octaevo is turning traditional stationery on its head; and, finally, Kikof from Tokyo has absolutely incredible offerings in ceramic tableware. Tell us about the products you have on your own wish list. There’s desk sculptures by graphic designer and architect Kristina Dam from Copenhagen. The set comes with a round paperweight in stoneware, a triangle bookend in marble, a wooden cone and an arc in brass (all shown on previous page). I also love the Ora Sculptural
table clock by the Switzerland-based design duo Panter & Tourron—a collaboration between Italy’s Stefano Panterotto and Alexis Tourron from France. The Stadium Light No. 1 by Danish furniture and product designer Niclas Jørgensen is also a favorite, as are the Touch trays by Studioilse for Zanat. Finally, I’m a big fan of the Plugged series of carafes, jugs, soliflore and table lamps by Lebanese interior architect and product designer Richard Yasmine. Why do you think it’s important to talk about design with a multicultural lens? There are many design sites around the world that focus on domestic design, but I believe that yatzer.com gives readers a wider perspective. It affords them the opportunity to see the trends as they are being created around the world, and they can therefore witness their progression and subsequent development. Is there a particular country whose design scene is really interesting you right now? What instantly comes to mind are the wireweaving works being created in Africa. These are amazing to me because the artists are combining modern technology—telephone wires—with traditional weaving techniques and craftsmanship. The results are so unique.
From top: The Plugged series of drink and glassware from Lebanese designer Richard Yasmine; an assortment of Touch trays by Studioilse for Zanat; and the Ora Sculptural table clock by Panter & Tourron.

#INSTACRUSH @sacredthistle
WHO: Sydney Peterson and Cornelia Peterson, the mother-daughter co-owners of Sacred Thistle, a floral design studio and retail boutique near Denver’s Capitol Hill district, manage this dreamy feed that captures their dark, wabi-sabi style. WHAT: Expect to see flowers—in sculptural arrangements and close-up shots—alongside new home accessories and even occasional hip-hop lyrics. As the duo describe, “We want it to feel dark, sexy and weird, like an art gallery of beautiful things.”
IN THEIR WORDS: “In person, flowers steal the show, but on camera it’s a whole new way of viewing them. If we’re skeptical of a design or have been looking at it for too long, we photograph it—and it’s as if we’re viewing it with a new set of eyes.”
BLUEPRINT DAIRY BLOCK
A new micro-neighborhood is coming to Denver’s Lower Downtown Historic District this spring with the opening of Dairy Block, a full city block on the former site of the Windsor Farm Dairy company. The reimagined block combines historic and new buildings— including a six-story office tower (below) and a 172-room hotel, The Maven—connected by an outdoor alley lined with retail shops, restaurants and installations by emerging Denver artists. Sage Hospitality’s fourth boutique hotel in the city, The Maven will feature creative direction from Brooklyn-based Crème/Jun Aizaki Architecture & Design and Denver-based Johnson Nathan Strohe. Loft-like guest rooms will be accented with raw rolled steel, beetle-kill wood and concrete, honoring LoDo’s ongoing transformation of industrial spaces into meaningful places for residents and visitors to enjoy. dairyblock.com
THE INSIDER LAURA MEDICUS
“Design doesn’t occur in a vacuum. It starts with a conversation,” says Laura Medicus, owner of Denver-based Laura Medicus Interiors. “More and more of my clients are new to Colorado, and they’re bringing with them style—and ideas about style— from other parts of the country.” The designer uses her blog, coloradonest.com, to continue those conversations, adding helpful how-tos and fascinating bits of industry history. “My aim is to inspire and educate but also to be entertaining,” she says. That sensibility extends to her residential designs— livable, interesting spaces in tune with the personalities of the people who inhabit them. “I like clients with a good sense of humor about life and design, and I like the stories they bring to a project,” Medicus says. “Design should be fun.” Here, she shares a few favorite sources for finding talking pieces. gildedinterior.com Local treasure trove: It’s important for a room to include a few things that are old or unusual. For those pieces, I adore checking out the Colorado Antique Gallery in Littleton. It’s in a strip mall sandwiched between car dealerships, and it’s crammed with delightful, confusing, tacky, stylish and wonderfully odd and beautiful things. For the art enthusiast: There are so many talented, hardworking, creative people in Colorado, and a walk through the Art District on Santa Fe on the first Friday of each month—when galleries are open later—is a great way to start discovering them. I also love the work my interiors photographer, Sara Yoder, is doing with her photos of Denver. Her work is at the Denver Art Society Cooperative right now, and I have a few of her photos in my home. And I’m a fan of the little pieces of art Heidi Annalise is painting right now—they are gorgeous landscape scenes on the inside covers of mint tins. Spring refresh: I’d like to find a striking antique doorknocker for my front door. I plan to scour the inventory at Eron Johnson Antiques and Grandpa Snazzy’s Hardware, both in Denver.

WHY: Initially a place to promote the floral-design business, the feed has become a space that offers inspiring ideas while inviting collaborations with other artists and creatives. “There is something so exciting about stumbling upon an account that just feeds your soul’s inspiration, and we strive to provide that,” say the pair.

DATE BOOK BRAD TOMECEK
In 2013, Brad Tomecek founded Denver’s Tomecek Studio Architecture with the goal of crafting spaces based on the sculpting of light, surface and material. His firm’s awardwinning portfolio includes a range of commercial, residential and public spaces, from the 21,000-square-foot Bierstadt Lagerhaus, Rackhouse Pub and C Squared Ciders in Denver to the 450-square-foot Mt. Sanitas Tiny House in Boulder. Though his firm’s work is often labeled as contemporary or modern, Tomecek says his team creates situationally responsive solutions that respect each client’s needs and location. “Our projects are unique, each with different forces and personalities,” he says, “so I would hope our signature aesthetic is distinction.” On this trip through his favorite Denver neighborhoods, Tomecek highlights some of the city’s most inspiring architecture. tomecekstudio.com 9 a.m. Start the day at the Wooden Spoon Café & Bakery with a latte and a blackberry-lemon scone or an egg sandwich on brioche. 10 a.m. Stop by the Tomecek Studio Architecture office to see a co-working space that was once an automotiverepair shop. On the way, enjoy the juxtaposition of old and new residences and storefronts along 32nd Avenue. 10:30 a.m. Walk to the Highland Bridge at 16th and Central streets, and cross to reach the REI flagship store, located in the 1901 Denver Tramway Powerhouse building. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, this late-Victorian structure is an amazing example of early 20th-century American Industrial architecture. Take a minute to appreciate the Richardsonian Romanesque elements in the masonry details and windows. 11:30 a.m. Traverse the pedestrian bridge over the South Platte River, and take the Cherry Creek Regional Trail to the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. Designed by David Adjaye, the museum minimizes boundaries between interior and exterior spaces and uses hidden skylights to bring natural light inside.
12:30 p.m. Head to The Brown Palace Hotel for afternoon tea and a light lunch. The hotel exudes elegance with its Italian Renaissance style and palette of Colorado red granite, Arizona sandstone and onyx imported from Mexico. 2 p.m. Your next stop is the Clyfford Still Museum—a firm favorite. The upperlevel galleries, where a skylit concrete ceiling lattice delicately illuminates the work, are our top places to spend time. 3 p.m. Stop by RedLine, a nonprofit art center showcasing work from artists in residence, on your way to the River North Art District—where Studio 2b’s showroom, a renovated 1940s garage, is home to exquisite finds, from imported furniture to glass fireplaces.

5 p.m. Head to The Cooper Lounge at Union Station for drinks and stellar views. Try the Bernadette cocktail with chocolate truffles or the Coloradier cocktail with the Colorado Wagyu steak tartare. 6 p.m. End the day at Mercantile Dining & Provision. Order the Acquerello mushroom risotto or the butter-poached Colombia River sturgeon, and save room for the poached-pear mille-feuille or spiced Pavlova for dessert.

Medium: Gloss on aluminum. Trademark: Delicate while maintaining a distinct contemporary feel. Women’s intuition: To capture the female form in vulnerable and intimate moments. Sources of inspiration: Usually from an image I find or a photo I’ve taken. Over the last few years, my process is generally sparked by a person or people around me and something about them I want to capture. Art school confidential: I grew up in a creative household, so after receiving my degree in history, I returned to art school because it felt natural and right. Role models: Ellsworth Kelly, John Baldessari, Tom Wesselmann, William Eggleston and Annelies Strba. Life motto: Don’t 4 panic. My art is… Vivid, figurative, simple, seductive and graphic.

KATE LONG STEVENSON: IN HER WORDS
8
Medium: Acrylic, gouache and watercolor—layered with charcoal. Trademark: Abstract Expressionist, representational and feminine. Women’s intuition: The female form is universally relatable and beautiful, and I love to take that familiarity and turn it on its head. Art game changer: Decidedly the biggest shift in my career was the decision to create for myself and not the market; it’s refreshing to produce work that I am passionate about. Creative influences: Painterly work—from Impressionism to John Singer Sargent’s brushstrokes and glowing color—and Abstract Expressionists like Joan Mitchell and Willem de Kooning. Never too many… Laughs, long conversations, lunch dates or snoozebutton hits. My art is… Gestural, energetic and mysterious.

CURVE APPEAL CAROLINE WALLS: IN HER WORDS
6
Medium: Both oil and synthetic polymer paint, along with charcoal and graphite. Trademark: Figurative—I tend to drift between abstract works, breaking down the line and form of a figure, and representational pieces. Women’s intuition: I deeply appreciate the aesthetics of the female form, its curves and sensuality, but I’m also interested in what lies beneath the surface, as the unseen aspects of a person are so easy to overlook. Art school confidential: I have always had a keen interest in the arts, so after five years of working abroad as a designer and art director, I finally returned to Melbourne, Australia, and enrolled in a postgraduate visual arts program. Creative influences: Marlene Dumas, Elizabeth Peyton, Louise Bourgeois—all women who work figuratively and with the female form. My art is… Spontaneous, fluid, sensual, free and evocative.

Medium: Acrylic paint on canvas. Trademark: Mythopoetic and magical while forming a unique visual reality. Women’s intuition: Approaching portraiture in a fresh way, I want my female subject to have color and flavor and evoke an otherworldly dimension of pure mystery. Art school confidential: After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design, I moved to New York City and the exposure to the art world and museums ultimately stimulated my desire to be a painter. Creative influences: Nature, light, color, meditation, Japanese aesthetics, tantric painting, and poetry by Han-Shan and Pablo Neruda. Dream collaborations: Traktung Yeshe Dorje and the band Just a Tourist. Role models: Sarah Sze, Nick Cave, Yayoi Kusama, Kara Walker and Kerry James Marshall. Life motto: Unlearn.

CONCRETE JUNGLE A TOUCH OF GREENERY ACCENTUATES AN IMPRESSIVE DISPLAY OF SIDE TABLES, CEMENTING THEIR STATUS AS CHIC ADDITIONS TO ANY URBAN DWELLING. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY KATE BERGERON PHOTOGRAPHY BY KATE BENSON
SUSAN COLLINS WEIR
INTERIOR DESIGNER STUDIOCOLLINSWEIR.COM
The Parker nesting tables… Play with motifs from various eras. It’s clear from the tables’ neoclassical and early-19th-century influences that Showers cleverly drew her inspiration from traditional, triedand-true European design that somehow feels extremely fresh. Composition: The decorative aspect of the design is a strong counterpoint to the minimal urban backdrop, while the decadent bronze complements the magnolia leaves, adding warmth to the concrete. On keeping it real: Authentic and original design is vital to the work of designers. It drives the profession forward and underpins our collective advances, challenging us to reinvent the norms and push art and design forward. I’m impressed with Showers’… Innate ability to mix and revamp decorative styles, and her line with Kravet exemplifies her knack for bringing this cross section of furniture genres to one of the industry’s top design powerhouses. Creatively speaking: Good proportions and strong materiality are what I look for in an accent table, and these nesting tables epitomize both.

BRONZE BEAUTY THE PIECE: Parker Nesting Tables THE DESIGNER: Jan Showers FIND IT: kravet.com THE INSPIRATION: Inspired by her antique and vintage finds while traveling through Paris, Dallas design dame Jan Showers collaborated with Kravet to create a collection of glamorous yet practical pieces that add a stately-meets-subtle warmth to any setting. Showersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fondness for vintage brass and bronze, as well as good cable jewelry design, was the catalyst for the Parker nesting tables, which perfectly capture the designerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penchant for all things Parisian.

TINY WONDER THE PIECE: Pedestal THE DESIGNERS: Vera Kleppe and Åshild Kyte FIND IT: esaila.com THE INSPIRATION: Stirred by a perennial curiosity to explore fresh materials and unexpected design forms, Norway-based design studio Vera & Kyte continually pushes the envelope with its sleek and electrifying creations. Pedestal holds true to those aesthetic ideals, making this versatile side table a perfect—and dynamic—addition to any home.
JEREMIAH BRENT INTERIOR DESIGNER JEREMIAHBRENT.COM
Vera & Kyte’s designs… Feel so easy and chic. What a unique pairing of form and function throughout this piece while maintaining total simplicity; nothing is over-designed, and yet it still feels like high design. Material connection: I love how the marble and perforated steel almost seem at odds, yet they are so harmonious together. Having lived in New York City… I am connected to this composition instantly. There is nothing like partaking in daily life (which can be real and messy and beautiful all at the same time) in a place like New York to truly understand the concept of a “concrete jungle,” and this composition reflects that experience perfectly. Visual play: Pedestal’s luscious curves cast against the sharp corners of the concrete highlight Vera & Kyte’s piece in a distinctly effortless and luxurious way. Creatively speaking: This table is a gorgeous compilation of so many periods of design and a true jack-of-all-trades: It’s as edgy as it is sophisticated and would work perfectly in just about any space.

I’m enamored by… Sean O’Hara’s masterful use of natural materials. The intricacy and sheer geometry it took to perfectly configure each piece into the finished product is incredible. This attention to detail and artistry elevates the design to an utmost standard of luxury. Material connection: These accent tables encompass multiple senses, providing not only sight and touch but also conjuring the sense of smell with their natural wooden qualities. A statement piece… Like this one can stand proud on its own accord without the need for additional attendees. Let’s be honest, no one wants a room full of items that compete. There is beauty in the ability to cultivate and curate our surroundings. Design is cyclical… Ever-evolving and ever-changing. We have to be cognizant of the pulse that inspires us to reinvent and keep design current. Creatively speaking: This design reminds me to find playfulness in refinement and that whimsy and sophistication are a beautiful blend.

Assembled with layers of imbricated solid-wood plates and shown here in both the Grey Sienna and Espresso finishes, the Spruce occasional tables remind us that bucolicinspired designs are indeed evergreen.

The Italia Terrazzo Stone Inlaid table illustrates her aesthetic ideal, which Hable realized by mixing patterns to add dimension to each piece within the collection. Mission accomplished.
TODD NICKEY + AMY KEHOE INTERIOR DESIGNERS NICKEYKEHOE.COM
Susan Hable’s designs… Seem rooted in nature, and we love her ability to create modern compositions with her subject matter. Her collections with Maitland-Smith bring out the company’s whimsical side in an earthy and delightful way. Composition: The understated nods to an urban garden evoke, for us, a South American midcentury mood. Material connection: With its many iterations, terrazzo often gets overlooked in certain applications, as it’s often used in large commercial spaces. We love that this particular use of the stone blend appears to read as foliage and has a transporting quality. There’s a reference to precious stones with this moody color palette that feels extremely luxurious as well. On keeping it real: In today’s crowded marketplace, we gravitate toward pieces with an emotional charge more than ever. The artistic intentions in Susan’s designs do not go unnoticed here with this dynamic piece.

BELLA MANCINI
INTERIOR DESIGNER BELLAMANCINIDESIGN.COM
I find Darryl Carter’s work to be eternally inspiring: He is able to convey a sense of serenity with his nuanced neutral palette and minimalistic collections of sculptural furniture. Material connection: There is a subtle tension between the industrial feeling of the powder-coated metal base and the elegant marble top. Creatively speaking: I’m especially drawn to the asymmetry of the bases and how their restrained luster allows for the angles to pop. I’d love to flank a sofa with a pair and position them askew to bring visual interest to an elevation. The industrial quality… Of the metal and the dynamic twist in the base remind me of artist John Chamberlain’s sculptures made of crushed automotive metal. They both share a sort of “machine age” elegance. On keeping it real: In a very dense world of design, it’s imperative to have a narrative and remain authentic to your aesthetic and values. Carter’s collection with Milling Road is a perfect example of just that.

SUMMER THORNTON
INTERIOR DESIGNER SUMMERTHORNTONDESIGN.COM
Caracole’s dazzling accent table… Reminds me of a cut-jewel ring. Those sharp angular cuts and that grandiose yet practical shape catch your eye the way a fine piece of jewelry might. Composition: I am all about contrast when designing a space, and the pairing of the industrial environment with an as-polishedas-they-come piece feels luxurious, personal and even a little edgy. Finishes are the key… To a really gorgeous design. Oftentimes, gold and brass, albeit classics, just aren’t polished enough for me, but a gold bullion finish brings an incomparable sheen—it’s practically a gold mirror finish, which I find sexy and dramatic. Creatively speaking: Much of my work is grounded in traditional lines and architecture, so I’m always on the hunt for pieces that provide that necessary edge. The shape and allure of Caracole’s design fits the bill in that it’s fresh with just the right amount of flair.

ELDORADO STONE OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK
When beginning the design or renovation of any outdoor living area, Brent Spann, president of Eldorado Stone, advises clients to “think about how you live and what you enjoy doing—be it reading, hosting, family time—and plan the space for that use.” He continues, “Ultimately it should fit the homeowner’s lifestyle and within the scale of the space ... with ample seating, a fire feature, shade and a kitchen, of course.” While many design trends come and go, the focus on indoor-outdoor spaces remains with an emphasis on creating a cohesive look for a seamless transition from the inside out. Conversation and living spaces with fire as a central point continue in popularity, as well as the extension of “smart-home” technology to outdoor living spaces. To accommodate today’s vast variety of outdoor options, Eldorado Stone offers an extensive outdoor product lineup, ranging from elegant fire bowls to inviting seating walls and beautiful outdoor kitchens, that transforms any personal retreat through color and texture. “We seamlessly marry design with functionality, making it easier than ever to create a memorable space,” Spann says.
Q+A What is inspiring you now? Year-round use of the outdoor space, even outside of the Sun Belt. Creative use of the space and amenities beyond going outside to grill a steak. Also, creating secondary living spaces for smaller areas in your outdoor space, like in a side yard or balcony. What are some design elements/innovations in outdoor living that you’re excited about? Outdoor-rated fabrics, furniture and appliances that look like they would belong in your indoor space. Not your grandmother’s plastic-covered lounge chair. What makes your product/brand distinctive in terms of material selection, product quality and functionality? Our fire bowls bring a heightened level of design and elegance to any outdoor space and come in a variety of styles, from classic to modern. Made from strong, glass fiberreinforced concrete and hand-sanded through a four-step finishing process, each fire bowl renders a true one-of-a-kind creation with subtle variations in color and texture, similar to natural limestone. 1
“Outdoor living is not a trend, but an extension of the home and an area that gets as much design attention as any other part of the house.” 2

Lighting designer and manufacturer Hubbardton Forge has helped extend interior residential spaces seamlessly to the outdoors with its equally aesthetic and functional light fixtures. “Today, we think about the ‘home’ differently. It doesn’t end at the back door,” says David Kitts, design director at Hubbardton Forge. “People want to live fully, both indoors and out. We have given a lot of thought, during the creative process, to materials and finishes that stand the test of time and weather.” This vigorous approach distinguishes the company, which has, despite its success, maintained its handcrafted, domestically made values. Founded (and still based) in Vermont, Hubbardton Forge makes sure that, as Kitts notes, “Any piece leaving the forge is touched by multiple hands throughout the process of its creation. When you look at a Hubbardton Forge lighting fixture, you’re seeing the artistic achievements of a team dedicated to design.”

FLEETWOOD WINDOWS & DOORS OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK
An integral component of every home design, windows and doors go beyond changing one’s view. They impact security, energy efficiency and the resale value of your home. So when choosing the right doors and windows, homeowners must consider myriad decisions; everything from material selection and insulation to ease of use and maintenance. And for a seamless transition from the inside to the outside, “your window and door products must blend with the architectural intentions of the home,” says Mark McCoy, General Manager of Fleetwood Windows & Doors. To take the most advantage of the views, more and more homeowners are seeking larger expanses of glass for their multi-sliding and pocket doors, such as operable doors with leak-proof flush tracks that house glass larger than 60 square feet. “The insulated glass industry is introducing new technologies making larger glass available,” McCoy says. “And we are rising to the occasion, designing new and innovative products to accommodate this advancement with great success.”
“We create large, modern-style windows and doors that operate smoothly, require little maintenance and last for decades.”

THE MATERIAL OF CHOICE ALUMINUM Aluminum has become the material of choice for windows and doors because of its inherent strength, beauty and versatility. Since 1961, Fleetwood Windows & Doors has been using this fantastic resource to create its enduring windows and doors. As the most green and sustainable window material, aluminum is in high demand in luxury modern home designs across the country. To meet this demand along with the growing movement in green design, Fleetwood has applied thermal technology to its shapes to improve energy efficiency. Additionally, as insulated glass becomes available in larger sizes, the company continues to innovate with new aluminum products to accommodate today’s changing market.

WESTERN WINDOW SYSTEMS OUTDOOR LOOKBOOK
The popularity of outdoor living continues to surge at a record pace with consumers prioritizing these spaces as critical to a home’s overall look, feel and design. One trend growing in popularity is 90-degree multi-slide doors which, according to Scott Gates, president and CEO of Western Window Systems, “enable consumers to utilize moving glass walls to open up two walls of their home and flow the kitchen and living room to the outside.” Sustainability is also key, and an essential part of the design process at Western Window Systems. “Outdoor living is enabling consumers to leave a smaller carbon footprint,” Gates continues. “By making their outdoor patio a true feature and living space of the home, consumers are now able to build smaller, smarter homes. We believe everyone deserves the ability to open up their home on a beautiful day to entertain guests, laugh around the fire pit and enjoy a beverage.”
“We create products that are taller, wider and with more glass than anyone else in the industry. ”

A ROOM WITH A HUE RICH PALETTES AND DRAMATIC CONTRASTS BRING ENERGY, PERSONALITY AND MAJOR STYLE TO THE HOME’S MOST-FREQUENTED ROOMS. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY MICHELLE BRUNNER
While it’s safe to say we are still living in the era of the all-white kitchen and bath, there’s no denying even the smallest flourish of color can cast an irresistible spell. After all, 90 percent of what we take in via our senses comes to us through the gift of sight, and there’s little that commands our vision more than bright, beautiful color. No wonder a palette change has the power to reinvigorate a tired cook space or bring spa-like serenity to a bath. A color refresh offers a fearless antidote to what are often neutral utilitarian spaces, and who knows that better than designers? For some it’s a minor dalliance—the oft-quoted “pop of color” comes to mind—while for others, it’s a full-blown affair with a particular shade, as in this stunning forest green kitchen. Whatever your style, join us as we make the case for painting with bold strokes. 220 / LUXESOURCE.COM

GREEN SCENE
DEVOL KITCHENS This British company is leading the way in kitchen design, offering a fresh take on traditional English style. For this particular project, designer Helen Robson employed unexpected color to create depth and drama. devolkitchens.co.uk
How do you usually bring personality into the kitchen? While open shelves are practical, they also allow the client to display a bit of character, whether it’s through a collection of bowls or, in this case, lots of old paintings. A kitchen is so much more than a utilitarian space and having an area to display something personal helps to create a warm, welcoming feel. What’s your favorite thing about this design? I love that this kitchen is actually a really simple design of four bespoke cabinets. Simplicity is key in carrying off such a daring color choice. Of course, I also absolutely love the room’s originality and how it’s totally infused with the personality of the client. It never felt like she was trying to copy a look, but to devise something that was completely her own.

Share your vision for this project. Our client’s father was an antiques collector; so, we wanted to create something that really reflected that old gentleman’s club look. Dark colors are very of the moment, particularly green. In addition to being on trend, green also evokes nature. Part of the reason it works so well in this kitchen is that it ties the whole space together and brings about a cozy feel in an otherwise cavernous space.

WALL
The ever-popular color blocking trend isn’t confi ned to the runway. For this Laurel Canyon, California, kitchen, architect Barbara Bestor used a wall of dark blue and walnut cabinetry to anchor a predominantly white space. “The not-quite navy is a classic color, but here it feels modern,” says Bestor. Carrying the walnut through to the island and incorporating handmade ceramic lights by Heather Levine help balance the angular lines with more organic elements. The result: a cook space that’s sleek without sacrificing warmth. bestorarchitecture.com

When a stove is the star attraction, the supporting players need to stay relatively neutral, as in this family kitchen from Sarah Richardson Design. “The client requested the La Cornue range, so we decided to go bold with the color and mix metals for interest,” says designer Natalie Hodgins, who, along with Kate Stuart, helmed the project for the firm. Keeping the fixed elements, such as the soft gray millwork and honed marble countertops, quiet allows the bright blue stove and hood to steal the show. sarahrichardsondesign.com

Whether used in a backsplash or underfoot, tile is a sure way to dial up the pizzazz in the kitchen. Proving that even the classics can benefi t from a revamp, both subway and hexagonal styles feel exciting when rendered in new colors and finishes, as demonstrated in the above offering from Clé. The company’s latest hex collection features subtle color blocking in blush and coral shades and can be rotated numerous ways to produce different, graphic designs. cletile.com

In this master bath, situated in a Victorian townhouse in the heart of Notting Hill, London, a Spey castiron tub from Drummonds provides the perfect canvas for color. Brass fixtures were left unlacquered and unpolished to allow them to age naturally and acquire a rich patina and golden color. On the wall behind the tub is a vintage Art Deco screen, sourced from France.

Soft hues make spaces feel serene, so it’s no wonder muted tones are a perennial choice for the bath. A far cry from the retro bubblegum pink lavatories of yesteryear, today’s pastels pack their biggest punch when used sparingly. Here, a colorful roll-top cast-iron soaker picks up a pale coral from the whimsical patchwork tile floor. Shades of salmon, cream, cobalt and olive blend to form a space that doesn’t so much jolt you awake as ease you gracefully into the day.

AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE LATEST TIPS, TRICKS AND TRENDS TO BRIGHTEN UP YOUR HOME. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER
TECHNICOLOR VISION With the arrival of spring comes a riot of color. Consider the brilliant yellow of daffodils or the bluish-purple of hyacinths bursting forth from the ground. But why should Mother Nature have all the fun? This period of rebirth and renewal is the perfect time to rethink color inside the home. For the last few seasons, white walls have dominated the design space, but tastemakers are now slowly turning to saturated hues and bold brights that command attention, as in the vibrant and cheery sitting room shown here. “Your home affects your mood, so why not make it a happy place?” says the room’s designer, Rebekah Caudwell. Over the next few pages, come along with us for a lively romp through the many colors on the spectrum.

There’s a reason fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli’s signature shade was “shocking pink.” The fearless style maverick believed the vivid color had life-giving properties. No wonder designer Amanda Nisbet chose a similar fuchsia for the dining room of this Park Avenue apartment in New York. “The saturated pink silk walls are luxuriously sexy, while still being cozy and welcoming—the perfect atmosphere for a successful evening,” she says. amandanisbetdesign.com

Just like a good book can be an escape from reality, a library should be a haven from the outside world. For this Greenwich Village apartment, New York-based design firm Tilton Fenwick blanketed the library walls in a rich teal lacquer, a color inspired by the classic Schumacher print in which the sofa is upholstered. “Since the room has no windows, the lacquer envelops the space, creating a jewel box effect,” says the firm’s founder Anne Maxwell Foster. We can’t think of a more stimulating environment in which to while away a few hours. tiltonfenwick.com

When it comes to kitchen renovations, today’s homeowners are moving away from traditional cabinetry and embracing larger, pantry-style options with updated appliances for a more professional output. Beyond function, decorative touches, such as mixing metals on appliances and finishes, add visual interest. “Our clients are doing entire tearouts, relocating appliances, windows, doors, ceiling details, walls and more,” says Bill Ohs, founder of William Ohs. “Our designers work with homeowners to customize their needs for entertaining and day-to-day cooking.” When beginning any project, the William Ohs team creates a strong focal point and centerline, then places the cooktop along a perimeter wall for proper ventilation. “Also, make the most of your design finish selections so you can be blown away by the final product,” company president Robert Cilli says. “Nothing like a big reveal!”
“The same principles of quality and value that I founded this company on are still applied to every piece that leaves the factory today.”

When designers Chris Weir and Susan Collins Weir approached the interiors of their clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home in Carbondale, they wanted to emphasize the indoor-outdoor connection of the structure originally established by architect Glenn Rappaport of Black Shack Architects.

lthough clients can’t always articulate to design professionals how they want their home to look, they can often express how they want it to feel. That turned out to be the case for a couple who, after seeing their work in The New York Times, approached husband-and-wife designers Susan Collins Weir and Chris Weir about renovating a house they had purchased in Carbondale. The wife explained they were looking for a design that felt durable and understated. In response to that description, Collins Weir, a co-owner with Weir in the duo’s Sausalito, California-based firm, suggested the house should “be like a pair of Levi’s: comfortable and classic at the same time—something effortlessly stylish,” she says. “That idea really resonated with her.” The house itself was a commanding modern structure that had been designed by architect Glenn Rappaport of Black Shack Architects with a distinctive angular roofline, an open floor plan, walls of retractable windows and protected outdoor living areas. “The exterior angles mimic the surrounding mountains and break up the scale of the house,” Weir says. “This knits the building into the site in a very convincing way.” Inside, however, the designers aimed to update the spaces to reflect their clients’ lifestyle while still honoring the original architecture. “Our goal was to quiet it down and to reinforce the exterior connection from every single room,” Weir says. Situated beneath a sloping roof that soars to 18 feet at its highest point, a multipurpose great room contains the main living areas of the home. At its core, an existing hefty blackened-steel-and-cast-stone fireplace dividing the living and family rooms provided a focal point and an LUXESOURCE.COM / 261

opportunity for an update. “We worked to lighten it up with a more detailed split-face limestone,” explains Weir, who handled the interior architectural changes. “We also introduced a cast-in-place concrete hearth and added adjoining Douglas-fir cabinets.” In realizing the redesigned fireplace, builder Craig Barnes, who oversaw the project on-site, created a system of new concrete pads to hold the steel columns supporting the hearth. “The fireplace was the most intricate part of the project,” he says. “It took a lot of coordination of details.” Significant updates were also carried out in the kitchen, which extends off the great room and opens onto an outdoor gathering and barbecue area with wide-open mountain views. The room’s cabinetry was refreshed with new Douglas-fir door and drawer fronts as well as open shelves to replace upper cabinets. “The existing
cabinetry was different in every room,” Weir says. “One of our primary goals was to unite the interiors with a common palette.” To round out the room, the glass backsplash came down and new Heath Ceramics tile went up in its place. Complementing the new warm-finish palette, the furnishings—overseen by Collins Weir—offer another thoughtful layer. Over original wood floors, which were sanded and refinished, the designer placed handwoven and vintage rugs in key living spaces. She then worked with a combination of contemporary pieces—such as a Flexform sofa and quilted Moroso armchairs in the living room—vintage items and custom designs, including walnut dining tables the duo had fabricated in California. Creating one-of-a-kind furnishings is “something we do in all of our projects,” says Weir, who handles the custom pieces. “These items are very special in that

The designs represent something completely unique to their experience.” Other personalized additions include a streamlined bench and bookcases the designers added to a simple hallway to create a reading area. Next to that, a flight of stairs they reworked with a glass-and-steel railing leads to the master suite and a guest bedroom. In both rooms, the designers customized upholstered headboards that reach out to incorporate nightstands on both sides. “The headboards add scale and ground the beds into the spaces,” Collins Weir says. “The heavy woven fabrics we chose lend warmth and texture to the rooms.”
Despite the vast number of tailor-made pieces and the geographic distance between the designers and the house, the project came together seamlessly. “It was a great collaborative effort,” Collins Weir says. “I went out to Colorado, and the clients came to San Francisco a few times to shop with us. They were really into the pieces we designed and were very trusting of us and our process from the moment I walked in to interview with them.” As such, just a brief six months after the renovation began, the owners were living in and enjoying the house as they had intended. “They could relax, be comfortable with family and watch the light changing over the mountains throughout the course of the day,” Collins Weir says. “It was a perfect fit.” LUXESOURCE.COM / 267

fter raising their three children in a large home in the Denver suburbs, a pair of empty nesters were ready for a change. For the couple’s fresh start, a corner lot in the Washington Park neighborhood offered the perfect opportunity. “One day I was standing in my last home, and I felt totally overwhelmed by the amount of stuff we’d accumulated,” the wife recalls about the former site of sleepovers, prom parties and countless team dinners. “This time, we wanted something casual and comfortable, because that’s who we are, but also beautiful and sophisticated.” So they turned to designers Conni Newsome and Ashley Larson Eitemiller to help them bring those qualities to life in their new home. “One of the first things we do with a new client is share design books and magazines to get a feel for which styles they gravitate toward and what colors they like and don’t like,” Eitemiller says. “Next, we explore how they want to live in a house—are they casual or more formal? Then we craft rooms that respond accordingly.” Their initial meetings with this couple revealed a desire to lean traditional but, in the wife’s words, “with flair and sass.”
That conventional slant is reflected in the architecture as well. Thoughtfully designed by architect Richard Whetsel, the structure, encircled by a wraparound porch, nods to the couple’s East Coast roots as well as their new neighborhood. “It was very important to the owners that the house fit in with the surrounding architecture,” says builder Jeremy Larson, who worked on the project with his father and partner in the firm, Rick Larson. “The husband wanted a totally brick home—no stucco, no siding.” To get the look they were after, Larson created on-site mock-ups of several options before settling on a tumbled-brick mixture with the right combination of colors. Hand-cut Pennsylvania bluestone caps and door thresholds completed the look. For continuity, landscape architect Phil Steinhauer selected the same brick along with wrought-iron pickets for the front fencing and Pennsylvania bluestone pavers for the walkways and patio. “In keeping with the traditional design, we used boxwood hedges to skirt the house and plants like hydrangeas for that East Coast look,” says Steinhauer, who also introduced outdoor living areas. “It was a typical

tight city lot, so I pushed everything as close to the setbacks as possible to maximize space and make room for a covered living space, a fire pit and an open dining area.” Having met the neighborhood integration criteria on the exterior, the traditional theme shifts to a more relaxed transitional look inside, starting with the entryway, a bright space with a curved staircase and a Paul Ferrante chandelier. “The paneling is formal, but instead of using an expected dark wood, we painted everything white,” Newsome says. “And the light fixture is classic, but it’s not a crystal chandelier.” From there, the plan leads to an intimate library before reaching the main public spaces. These areas— including the living and dining rooms as well as the kitchen— are more open to one another, and the designers brought a contemporary flavor to the spaces through a curated palette and discerning fabric choices. “The wife wanted things light and fresh,” Eitemiller says. “So each space has a level of formality but is comfortable for everyday use.” Taking cues from the wife, who likes both patterns and muted colors, the designers thoughtfully mixed the two. “You can introduce a lot of patterns, so long as they are proportionate with each other and everything is in the same palette,” Newsome explains. In the living room, the fabrics represent a carefully calculated hierarchy of pattern that starts small, with a barely discernible tweed on the sofas, and crescendos to a large graphic print on the chairs and ottoman. Stripes on the pillows and a mediumscale tribal pattern on the draperies complete the mix. 282 / LUXESOURCE.COM

When it came to functionality, the designers made selections with the couple’s entertaining lifestyle in mind. “Easy-to-clean indoor-outdoor fabrics and a dog-friendly wool rug in the living room are perfect for relaxed family life, but they also look polished and together,” Eitemiller says. The same can be said for the nearby kitchen, which is smartly dressed with recessed paneled cabinets, smallscale subway tiles and counters made with a marble-like durable quartzite marked by subtle green veining. A large cased opening connects the living room with the dining room, where the designers picked up the same tribal-pattern draperies and anchored the space with another large Paul Ferrante light fixture. “The formal living

and dining rooms are the main focal points,” Newsome says. “We designed these spaces to be stylish and layered while maintaining a sense of comfort.” For a collected look, they paired an antique dining table with captain chairs covered with a glazed linen and skirted side chairs upholstered with a charcoal-and-chocolate tweed. Thanks to a thoughtful team who never lost sight of the spirit of the occupants or the soul of the spaces, the result couldn’t be better. “My husband and I have lived in beautiful homes all over the country, but none of them have been perfect,” the wife says. “I knew one day we would have the opportunity to build and have everything we wanted. Now, with this house, we do.”

oon after moving to Aspen, my work took on a whole new life,” says artist Kelly Peters, who relocated to the mountain town in 2015 from Portland, Oregon. “I was doing these abstract water paintings and was getting really bored with them.” She then shared her work with a friend, who encouraged her to start from scratch and create something entirely different from the intricate paintings she was producing. Peters did, and she hasn’t looked back since. “I let go of a lot of that detail and tried something more loose,” the artist explains. To achieve that sense of looseness, Peters placed a canvas on the floor and began experimenting on the surface with a small amount of paint pigment in a lot of water. Her breakthrough moment came a couple of months later when she discovered a new tool. “I was looking around the studio for a way I could make a really big mark without using a brush—I didn’t want to get spindly strokes in the piece—and I spotted the dustpan,” she recalls. “It’s now my weapon of choice!” Working with her newfound utensil, Peters pushes paint around the canvas, lets it dry and then builds up more layers to create a dreamylooking background. This layering process is her own adapted version of Mischtechnik, a traditional oil-painting method that uses multiple glazes and layers, which she had studied during a summer college workshop in Italy through The Vienna Academy of Visionary Art. Once the background is built up, Peters adds in ridgelines using acrylic and oil paints and then occasionally
will finish it all off with oil pastels and pencils. This new approach resulted in the creation of her mountain series—or, as it turns out, the recreation. While studying in her high school Advanced Placement art class, Peters developed a collection of paintings titled Abstract Nature. The mountain-esque landscapes featured linear strokes, black ink and a saturated color palette that lent them a rather psychedelic air. Although she would leave that idea behind as she went on to earn her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Northern Michigan University, her move to Aspen helped revive the nascent motif. “When I got to Colorado, I rediscovered this part of me that had left me,” she says. “It was like an awakening.” To remain inspired, Peters heads for the hills— specifically the Elk Mountains, where she takes photos and makes ink drawings and tiny paintings en plein air. She then combines those experiences from the natural world with the spontaneity of the pigments, often letting the paint do some of the decision-making. The result has been a more sophisticated version of those early high school paintings, and Peters has found herself once again pulled to the black lines and vibrant palette. “I love the saturation and boldness of the pinks and blues,” the artist says. “I think it’s a really great contrast with how people usually think of mountain art.” Recently, Peters has started to incorporate gold and silver paints into the mix to give her work a bit of shimmer, and she doesn’t plan to stop there. “I would really love to move into large-scale murals next,” she says. “I don’t think I’m anywhere near being done with the mountains.”

t was the opposite of what we were looking for,” a Houston homeowner says of the offbeat house near Aspen she and her husband considered when searching for a vacation home—they were hoping to find something spacious with plenty of bedrooms that was in move-in condition. “We didn’t want something that needed work, and this house needed a lot,” the wife recalls. But they were quickly won over by its ideal location and quirky charms. “The house needed refreshing,” the wife says of the 1970s structure, “but it was very much ahead of its time.” The couple, who are passionate art collectors, felt an immediate connection with the seller, a local artist who had shared the home with his wife. So house keys changed hands, from artist to art collectors. To carry out the refresh, the couple assembled a talented team that included architect Jamie L. Brewster McLeod; their longtime designer and close friend, Houston-based Terry Prather; and builder Shane Evans. With its good bones and opportunities for knockout views, Brewster McLeod could see the structure’s potential, but the main living space had a low sloping ceiling and short sliding doors. “One of the biggest changes was raising the roof in the living room,” she says. Brewster McLeod doubled the room’s height, gave it a butterfly roof and added large windows to display views of the Maroon Bells and Aspen Highlands. “That was fairly transformative,” Evans says. “It had a tremendous impact on not only the architecture from the outside of the house but the view plane as well.” To complement the room’s newly open feel, the original rock fireplace was also reimagined. “It needed a more modern façade,” says Brewster McLeod, who worked with structural engineer Stephen Peightal of S K Peightal Engineers on realizing the new board-form concrete design. The sleek fireplace and expansive sight lines “became the main focus of the house,” Prather says. Other changes in the house were driven by the couple’s art collection. Brewster McLeod transformed the home’s tight spiral staircase into a spacious open stairwell, which
“WE KEPT IT SIMPLE AND ELEGANT AND FOCUSED ON BRINGING IN MORE LIGHT AND VIEWS.” –JAMIE L. BREWSTER MCLEOD
allows 12 large prints by Yinka Shonibare to hang along the walls uninterrupted from the first floor to the second. “We needed to make the staircase match the modern updates we were making throughout the house,” the architect says. “There are no risers—only treads—and a glass railing so you can see the artwork.” That glass railing, as Evans explains, allows natural light to filter into both levels. When it came to furnishing the updated spaces, functionality and durability were priorities. “We wanted all of the surfaces to be simple—easy to clean and care for,” the wife says. Prather kept that notion, as well as the couple’s love for entertaining, in mind. The designer created two sitting areas in the living room by placing four swivel chairs in front of the new fireplace and then appointed a second grouping with a sofa and two Donghia chairs. “This breaks up the long room and creates different conversation areas,” Prather says. The Donghia chairs, along with an Eames chair in the master bedroom, belonged to the previous owners. “They were classic pieces,” Prather says. “We changed the leather on the Eames chair to give it a lighter look and upholstered the Donghia chairs with leather.” The lighter look continues with a muted palette throughout the house. “The art is very colorful, so we didn’t want a lot of conflicting color in the furniture,” Prather explains. Natural materials such as wood, leather, linen and mohair add rich visual texture. One notable exception is a pair of vivid orange chairs in the bunk room, which was previously used as an artist studio. Now, multiple bunk beds fit into the recesses of the room—perfect for the couple’s three children and their visiting friends—and Prather lined the walls with Cole & Son’s Woods wallpaper. “It feels like you’re in a tree house, as it juts out into the landscape,” the designer says. The scenery outside was given an update as well. Landscape designer Chad Thomson used natural river boulders to terrace a new backyard and side yard and added plenty of new plantings. “The wife wanted a lot of color, and she likes pinks, white and purples,” he says. “So we used Pinky Winky hydrangeas, lilacs and Munstead lavender.” A whimsical bear sculpture by artist Tony Tasset inspired the front garden. “The bear has wild eyes,” says Thomson, who brought the garden “into the bear’s world” by using plantings of different heights and lots of color. In the end, the home got a fresh face while retaining its original artful spirit. “The biggest goal was trying to stay true to the house and enhance what was already there while providing a new modern home,” Brewster McLeod says. “We kept it simple and elegant and focused on bringing in more light and views.” Combined with the couple’s art collection, those elements produce a house that’s tailored to the homeowners’ lifestyle. “The art is serious art, but a lot of it is humorous,” the wife says. “The house feels very light and very embracing to us. It’s just a happy place.”

BERGLUND ARCHITECTS
Looking at the architectural mastery of Hans Berglund, founder of Berglund Architects, it’s easy to see the influence of his iconic mentor, Italian architect Carlo Scarpa. “In all of our projects, we utilize cleanly detailed, beautiful natural materials and a very high level of craftsmanship inspired by the project’s regional building traditions,” says Berglund, noting the firm’s characteristic approach. Working mostly in mountainous, rural communities, Berglund Architects has also completed condominiums and townhomes in Vail as well as other urban environs. While the structures vary, each of the firm’s projects shares common themes, such as strong indoor-outdoor connections, a high level of craft, exposed wood and steel structures, and fine detailing. Berglund founded the firm in 2004 in Edwards, Colorado, with a focus on designing high-end, modern mountain homes, and since then, he has completed projects throughout Colorado, the Rocky Mountain region, the Caribbean and the East Coast. With a deeply collaborative and intuitive process, Berglund and his team look to the physical site, the sense of place and their clients’ dreams for inspiration. “We ask questions like, ‘How do you want to feel when walking into your living room or cooking a meal in your kitchen?’ ” Berglund says. “We strive to create architecture that has the power to positively affect life experiences, bring people together and make them more in touch with their surroundings.”

Designer Kristen Terjesen’s definition of ‘good design’ aptly describes her work, as well as that of her team at Studio 10 Interior Design. “Good design is a balance of details, personality and innovation, ensuring that the end result is both functional and remarkable,” she says. It’s this careful juxtaposition that distinguishes the firm. With its diversity of styles, projects and team members, Studio 10 has become synonymous with creating interiors as unique as the clients they serve. “My favorite part is interpreting clients’ visions and bringing their personal story to life through real and livable design,” she says. Terjesen founded the firm in 2008 in the middle of the economic downturn. Staying true to her fastidious and positive nature, she parlayed what some may have considered a risk into an incredible opportunity, resulting in a design success story that today includes a team of seven employees and a showroom in downtown Denver. Pulling from her travels abroad, namely European cultures, as well as the influences of celebrity style icons such as Kelly Wearstler and Candice Olson, Terjesen and her team keep their designs fresh, distinct and genuine. With a great mix of projects—luxury residential and commercial—and clients—young entrepreneurs to empty nesters—Studio 10 continues to expand its reach beyond Denver’s signature neighborhoods to include new custom homes and renovations, in the surrounding mountain areas and nationally. “Studio 10 is much more than just decor. We have a ‘method to our madness,’ so to speak,” Terjesen says. “We provide a level of detail in our construction documents that results in designs that are both buildable and luxurious.”

Studio 10 is not married to one particular style; we curate design inspired by your story.
01. In this master bath, linear tile with a textured design complements the sleek finishes, creating the perfect balance of mountain and contemporary styles. 02. Blush tones mixed with brushed-gold accents, painted brick and bent wood form the ideal backdrop for gatherings in this warm, modern family room. 03. A combination of satinnickel, black and brass fixtures seamlessly blends into the design of this casual yet refined kitchen. 04. High-gloss black paint was used to breathe new life into this once-traditional study. Tones of gray and cognac along with a hide area rug and snakeskin window treatments give the space a decidedly masculine feel.

Ask the Expert Cindy Callicrate President
What do you regard as the greatest success in your career to date? I am very proud of the fact that I have been able to earn the respect of so many other professionals in this industry. The majority of my work comes from referrals.
770 Castle Drive/Post Office Box 3970 Eagle, Colorado 970.328.1590 cindy@callicrateco.com callicrateco.com
THE CALLICRATE COMPANY
From an early age, Cindy Callicrate knew she wanted to be an interior designer. And as president of the renowned design firm, The Callicrate Company, Inc., she has transformed that adolescent dream into a career spanning more than 30 years. “I wanted to be an interior designer since I was 13 years old,” she reveals. “I have worked in wholesale showrooms and for other design firms. Both experiences have helped me build a successful business.” Throughout her career, Callicrate has relied on her meticulous attention to detail and commitment to extraordinary customer service while building a diverse portfolio that includes a range of projects, from condominium remodels and custom home construction to restaurants and office spaces. “Good design is creating an environment that works seamlessly with a client’s lifestyle. Clients should always feel safe and comfortable in their home,” Callicrate says. “I hope my work is recognizable because of my client’s satisfaction, superior customer service and the impeccable attention to detail that I bring to each and every project.” Callicrate also credits communication as fundamental to the success of any project. She takes great pride in really listening to her clients and ensuring she understands the full scope of what they hope to achieve. “It is most important to me to listen to my clients, to hear what they envision, to interpret their vision and to guide them through their project so when it is completed, the results are far better than they expected.”

In what kinds of communities do you typically work? The majority of my work is done in resort communities, although I currently have a project furnishing an 1883-era home in southwest Texas. How do you define luxury? Luxury is doing something or going somewhere that brings calm, peace and happiness to my soul.

A successful project is one that fulfills our clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wishes and desires, and surpasses their expectations.
01. Custom-designed and hand-painted murals help create a feeling of being outdoors. 02. Even mudrooms can be pretty, as evidenced in this efficiently designed space that provides storage for gloves, hats and boots in furniture pieces. 03. Hand-scraped oak flooring brings a sense of warmth to this caretaker apartment, while the lighting and textures create a cheery and spacious-feeling home. 04. Reclaimed barn wood creates a stark contrast to integrated plaster walls, drawing oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye to the steel and acrylic panel.

STONE + TILE
Ask the Expert Kym Brekhus, CEO Jeff Brekhus, COO
What are you working on next? One of our awarded renovation projects slated for 2017 is the renovation for the MillerCoors brewery in Golden, Colorado. We are also looking forward to projects with home builders such as BOA Construction, Cadre and Old Greenwich Builders.

BREKHUS TILE & STONE
Since its inception 18 years ago, Brekhus Tile & Stone has established itself as a trusted source in the Denver area for any stone and tile project regardless of complexity. The renowned stone and tile purveyor dominates its competition thanks in part to the leadership of husband-and-wife powerhouse Kym and Jeff Brekhus and the hands-on roles that each one brings to the business. Leveraging her background in architecture, Kym serves as CEO, ensuring expert estimating, technical planning and the successful execution of each project. Jeff, the COO, draws on his passion for design and extensive experience in business management as he works side-by-side with general contractors, subcontractors, architects and employees, facilitating close communication around every job, and always encouraging independent thinking. “This creates synergy between team members that helps the company stand out from other tile and stone installers,” Jeff explains. Also imperative to the firm’s success is a commitment to ensuring a harmonious relationship between customer experience and satisfaction. “We are successful if we have delivered a finished project that is uniquely beautiful, processed well and installed on schedule and in a professional manner,” Kym says. “We want our customers to feel proud of the work we’ve been entrusted to install in any space.” Ultimately, the goal is always to assist the client in achieving their desired result and then exceed their expectations in the end. “Good design is integral to one’s lifestyle, period,” Jeff says. “We help our customers sort out the vast tile and stone options that fit their lifestyles and look and feel the way they envision.”

How would you describe your clientele? We are the only MIA Commercial B accredited contractor in Colorado, so we work with many commercial construction companies. However, our residential work all over the state of Colorado is some of our finest work as well. How do you define luxury? An important aspect of luxury is peace of mind. We go above and beyond to make sure our customers feel at ease from start to finish, and that they are delighted by the quality of our work.

Our philosophy is simple â&#x20AC;&#x201D;we provide quality, timely and professional installations of stone and tile. 01. Created with the Colorado Design Consortium, this kitchen in the Spire Building of Downtown Denver features a mitered quartz waterfall island with glass subway tiles. 02. The use of CNC-operated water-jet machinery and expert installation helps bring creative visions in stone to life at home or at the office, such as this striking reception desk at Mason Morse Realty in Aspen. 03. This double-sided, specialty backlit honey onyx wall, featured at the Ritz-Carlton ELWAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S, creates a warm ambience. 04. This 45-foot, multislab medallion is located in the AMG National Trust Bank Headquarters in Greenwood Village. Build by Swinerton Builders.
