CONTEMPORARY RANCH-STYLE HOME MEETS ROCK ‘N’ ROLL IN THIS CHIC, LIGHT AND BRIGHT ESTATE PRESENTED

BY MCDONALD DEVELOPMENT. DESIGN. RENOVATE. BUILD. 310.903.1893

Once again, realtor/developer Andrew McDonald, interior designer Barrie Livingstone and builder Elizabeth Daniels have teamed up to create this stunning estate, aptly named Mariposa De Oro for its warm, gold-toned accents throughout. Designed for grand entertaining when desired and intimate privacy when not, it features an oversized main living area overlooking the pool and garden. Inside, a formal dining room and living room flank the entry hall, which is accessed through a carved-teak, antique front door. An ample-sized master suite features a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling sliding windows that face the pool and picturesque mountain views to the east. And for alfresco dining, an open gazebo sits elegantly by the pool, just adjacent to the putting green.

ADVERTISEMENT

“HARNESSING THE COLLECTIVE POTENTIAL OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS AND OUR CLIENTS IS THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS.”

Known for its focus on reimagining and transforming properties into exceptional signature homes, McDonald Development has succeeded again with Mariposa De Oro. “This property showcases our full-service solutions for homeowners,” McDonald says. “We won’t take on any project unless we can address it both internally and externally.” Designing, renovating and building luxury homes in the Los Angeles and Orange County coastal areas, the McDonald team takes a holistic approach to every project, seeking to create the ideal environment of harmony and balance, inside and out.

POGGENPOHL ANNUAL INNOVATION DESIGN CONTEST Innovation Award Winner Hausscape, Miami, FL Luis Bebchik and Reinier Boulart, Hausscape

After a review of exceptional submissions, Poggenpohl is proud to announce the winners in the following categories:

Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects (SAOTA) This minimalist kitchen and pantry for a new waterfront residence integrates a tremendous number of appliances and features, while keeping the look fresh, contemporary and sophisticated.

Functional areas were created including a cooking zone, entertainment seating and a bar.

Poggenpohl can be found in homes in more than 70 countries around the world. Integrating the size and architecture of the built environment, its designers start with a clean slate and work from there, considering the space and the customer’s preferred design theme to create a unique, individual kitchen.

Whatever the brief, Poggenpohl aims for perfection.

Bespoke Design Challenge Winner

Poggenpohl Downtown, New York, NY

Beck/Allen Cabinetry, St. Louis, MO

Roger Zierman, Poggenpohl Downtown

Mike Beck, Beck/Allen Cabinetry

After a 30-year occupant moved out, a young couple purchased this apartment, refreshing it with daring and unique finishes from head to toe. The tiny, 49-square-foot kitchen (small even by New York standards) receives its personality from Poggenpohl’s gray nut tree cabinetry and aluminum backsplash— complete with Gorilla wallpaper. Functionality was key, with custom features to clear the countertops of clutter and create space for clever, smaller-scale appliances.

This kitchen design was part of a complete renovation on the 20th floor of a condominium in St. Louis, Missouri. The entire unit was stripped from floor to ceiling, and reconfigured to fulfill the homeowners’ wishes for an open floor plan. To accommodate their desire for a welcoming kitchen with clean lines, Poggenpohl products were used here and in nearly every room in the home.

The result is a modern, seamless aesthetic.

ON THE GO

This July/August issue marks our annual celebration of global design. In it, we take you around the world— everywhere from a curated concept shop in Marrakesh to a 1950s Berlin high-rise-turned-whimsical hotel, with bicycles suspended from the lobby’s ceiling. We also, always, bring you much closer to home with the best in regional design. While jetting off to another time zone can often inspire, so, too, can your own zip code.

In addition, we’re encouraging readers to take another trip this summer: over to our new digital content site, luxedaily.luxesource.com, where you’ll discover design-related stories galore. Our 13 regional editions of Luxe provide an endless array of styles, ideas and design resources from across the country.

This page: Luxe takes you on an international journey this issue, highlighting such dynamic global venues as Morocco’s L’Hôtel Marrakech (top, left and right), designed by Jasper Conran, and the Berlinische Galerie in Berlin (above).

“While it isn’t a trend but rather a predictable constant in design, metals were on display at Spring Market. Seeing the way companies like Milling Road for Baker reimagined classic finishes—as they did with the Wrap console—in a fresh and modern way is incredibly inspiring to us. The marble top paired with the sleek, sexy base makes this piece a total showstopper. Vintage was another strong theme we saw in furnishings, art and accessories. We were impressed with the Barrie Benson collection for Highland House. The way she reimagined vintage pieces of furniture and explored bold color palettes was exciting beyond words!”

“Craftsmanship and an appreciation for artisan work were dominant themes at HPMKT, and are a major cultural push impacting interior design today. The usage of materials in their raw form showcases their natural beauty. Our absolute favorite was the Floating Credenza 1702 from Craft Associates Furniture. They used solid walnut to create the most sensual form that celebrates the grain of the wood.”

“Neutrals were being paired with different styles and accents throughout the showrooms we visited at HPMKT. We fell head over heels for the John-Richard Brass Six-Light Chandelier. The white marble paired so fabulously together with the brass—such a modern take on a classic chandelier shape and style. We also loved the Bark Chair by OLY—the classic style with the textured look of tree bark can be used in interior or exterior applications. We love the OLY line in general because of the clean modern vibe that gives a nod to past classic looks.”

Spring was full of fabulous events that kept us entrenched in the L.A. design community.

First, we kicked off WestWeek 2017 with a breakfast at Perfec Floors. Then, during the keynote, Holly Hunt shared her personal story with Luxe Interiors + Design Editor in Chief Pamela Jaccarino. Later that evening, hundreds of people celebrated the grand opening of the Tidelli Outdoor Living showroom at the Pacific Design Center.

Also, this summer, we were proud to support ASID’s Santa Barbara Design Conference.

Be sure to check out more event images in our Gatherings section, including the Luxesponsored Wattles Mansion Opening Party, which was a beautiful event, and the 1st Social Media Breakfast that we hosted for the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts—a tradition I hope to continue.

Finally, at least once a month we bring together tastemakers and partners for our LuxeConnect luncheons, which were most recently held at Craig’s Restaurant in West Hollywood and Cafe Pinot in Downtown L.A. Coming up, we will continue to sponsor ICAA’s French Lecture Series.

I hope to see you there!

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

MIMI FAUCETT Writer / Austin My creative influences come from…

Print magazines. Nothing gives me more creative joy than a favorite, familiar magazine still having the ability to surprise me. Long live print!

Favorite book: Grace: A Memoir by Grace Coddington. Not only is the story inspiring, but the hot-orange cover makes this book coffee table-worthy. Top three things on your design wish list: I’m dying for a set of black linen sheets from Hawkins New York—what I consider to be the perfect summer bed set. I’m also currently obsessing over L.A. artist Bari Ziperstein’s quirky ceramic vases, and I’m steadily saving a spot on my wall for a face painting (or two!) from Sally King Benedict. Most fascinating person you’ve ever met: My grandmother, Nana. She’s someone who’s generous with time, laughter and sensitivity, but first and foremost, she’s a listener. It’s rare to get a story about her past, but when you do, it’s always fascinating.

ARIC ATTAS

Photographer / Palm Beach If not a photographer, I would be…

A musician. I’ve performed with jazz, rock and blues bands over the years.

I also create guitar-based Ambient Soundscapes to accompany many of my fine art exhibitions, as I find sound is a great counterpoint to my visually oriented work. Prized possessions: I have a photograph from the first roll of film I shot. It’s a black-and-white print I took at age 12, and I treasure it because I’m intrigued by how this simple close-up of a printing press foreshadowed my fascination with light, space, form and design. Also, my health. Having won two fights with cancer, I am aware of the value of good health, and I cherish it every day. Finally, I love my best friend and studio mate, Macchiato, a 3-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback, who was rescued from an elephant preserve. Upcoming project: I’m excited to be working on new photographs for an upcoming solo exhibition at the Clare Gallery in Hartford, Connecticut, that will run from October 14 through December 31. These cosmos-inspired images explore the intersection of art, science and spirituality.

LX_COM14_Contributors.indd 92

ERIC PIASECKI Photographer / New York What type of design inspires you? Though my personal aesthetic tends to lean toward modern, I enjoy all different types of interiors. Right now, I really like seeing how designers are taking traditional design and adding modern twists to make it more contemporary. If money were no object, I’d buy… A new horse for our barn in New Mexico. Most interesting person you’ve met: Years ago, we were shooting Versace’s mansion in South Beach, Miami, and I got to meet famed photographer Helmut Newton by the gold-tiled pool—it was an over-the-top experience all around! Preferred superpower: It would have to be the ability to fly— no more airplanes! Of course, I would need some kind of side car for all my equipment.

KARA PICKMAN Writer / Miami Favorite design trend: That everything old becomes new again—I could live in any of Terence Conran’s design books, but I’m particularly partial to the 1974 edition of The House Book. And if you’re into obsessing over details (or like to think you are), check out the quirky photo styling in the 1990 edition of Complete Home Storage. Dream assignment: I’m honored to work with innovative clients across the country and around the world who champion art and design, including the Guggenheim, Pérez Art Museum Miami, the Smithsonian, Design Miami/ and many more, and my goal is to always both expand and refine my client list and creative projects.

Most-treasured possessions: The dining room table and chairs passed down to us from my mother-in-law and late father-in-law; they were custom-made in Spain for my wife’s grandmother. The table seats at least 10 and is so large we had to take the dimensions into account when we purchased our first home two years ago. There was no way we were buying a house where we couldn’t eat around that table! If I had $20,000 to blow, I’d…

Commission the custom Cuban floor tiles my wife wants for our sun room—and start the renovation we’ve been planning. On your nightstand: Most recently, Elif Batuman’s novel The Idiot. If not a writer, I would be… An art conservator. Maybe in another life...

VISUAL HISTORY AT VENERABLE COVERINGS COMPANY DE GOURNAY, THE CECIL GURNEY SISTERS CARRY ON THEIR FATHER’S LEGACY WHILE KEEPING THEIR EYES ON THE FUTURE THROUGH A SERIES OF BUZZ-GENERATING COLLABORATIONS. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER

Imagine growing up in a magical world where butterflies flutter along perfectly painted vines and mischievous monkeys frolic up and down the walls. Now imagine that place is your childhood home and those fanciful landscapes are the family business, and you might get a sense of the charmed upbringing had by sisters Hannah and Rachel Cecil Gurney. “We grew up in a stunning house, decorated by our father, just opposite Kensington Gardens in London,” says Hannah. “My sister and I used to sit on the stairs, fascinated by the Chinese figures on the wallpaper.” Depicting peasant life in rural 18th-century China, the pattern, which featured scenes of silk-weaving and porcelain-making, wasn’t just a work of breathtaking decoration, but also a lesson in history and culture. “It was all very exotic to a 6-year-old Londoner, and our father would happily spend hours talking us through it all,” she says. Their father, Claud Cecil Gurney, founded de Gournay, the world-renowned maker of exquisite handmade wallcoverings, christening the brand with the French root of the family name in 1986.

Right: The Cecil Gurney sisters, Hannah (standing) and Rachel, at home.

LX_COM14_Radar_DeGournayBTB.indd 98

portait: simon brown photography. vignette photo: roberto garagaza.

As the story goes, Claud had trouble finding skilled artisans to restore some antique wallpaper in his home; so, through the Chinese Trade Commission in London, he located artists familiar with the painting techniques in mainland China.

Working with the craftsmen, he began to create hand-painted papers, reigniting a tradition that had begun in the early 18th century, when chinoiserie was all the rage among the European aristocracy.

By staying true to original production techniques— typically six artisans work on a single paper that can take up to 150 hours to produce—Claud created a truly bespoke luxury item. Today, his daughters help run the company—Hannah as director, and Rachel as the global style manager—putting their stamp on a number of forward-thinking initiatives while preparing to take over the family business when their father retires. “Our father has been wonderful about allowing us to make decisions and take on a lot of responsibility,” says Hannah. “He understands that if he is serious about handing over the reins, he needs to trust and support our ideas and allow us to learn from our mistakes. We love what we do so much that we want to ensure we safeguard it for the next generation.”

The company’s vision has expanded to include both more contemporary designs and ones that reflect other global perspectives, such as the more abstract Japanese and Korean collection, an

example of which features a weeping willow motif, or the Papiers Peints Panoramiques collection, which is inspired by 19th-century French murals of exotic scenes. “While de Gournay has always been seen as a company that makes very traditional hand-painted papers, my sister and I encourage a more modern aesthetic through employing innovative new techniques and colorways, as well as developing new collections,” says Hannah.

One strategic move that has proven successful: a string of high-profile collaborations, the most recent of which is an au courant take on an Art Deco motif inspired by and created in conjunction with Harrods department store. “Art Deco is making a comeback in interior design, and I love the use of geometric shapes, gilt and lacquer in interiors,” says Rachel. “The new design features an ornate scallop pattern gilded onto a metallic background with hand-painted watercolor accents.” Adds Hannah, “The wallpaper has a contemporary edge that we think will appeal to a whole new audience.”

In the quest to expand the brand’s reach, de Gournay pairs up in September with style icon Kate Moss, the latest partnership to feature a boldface name more synonymous with the runway than the annals of interior design. Other recent sartorial collaborations include Matthew Williamson, Jenny Packham and Moda Operandi.

Most recently, the company teamed up with Italian fashion label Aquazzura for a line of embroidered footwear and a Tropicalia-inspired wallpaper (shown in part on the previous page), which they developed as a nod to brand founder Edgardo Osorio’s Colombian heritage.

Of the synergy between the company and the fashion industry, Hannah feels it’s a natural fit—after all, wallpaper is a form of dressing for one’s home.

“There are a lot of similarities between couture and de Gournay,” she says. “We make everything by hand to the highest quality while offering limitless bespoke capabilities. Furthermore, people with style tend to have flair when it comes to their interiors, and vice versa. These days being stylish extends to a whole lifestyle, not just your clothing.”

RADAR / BIG IDEA

All handmade rugs tell a tale, spinning a narrative through silk and wool. In the case of Amadi Carpets, there’s another story as well: In 1984, the Ahmadi family fled war-torn Afghanistan to neighboring Pakistan, eventually emigrating to America with little more than the clothes on their backs and a talent for weaving.

Here, Zubair Ahmadi, one of the five brothers behind the brand, shares with us the company’s artistic and philanthropic vision.

For 20 years, Amadi Carpets has created some of the most dynamic and finely made rugs on the market. How did you learn the skills of the trade? Growing up in a family of nine children in Afghanistan, we learned the art of weaving from our mother, whose family opened the first silk-weaving factory in Kabul during the 1960s. As a kid, I worked on the loom alongside my brothers after school. We also learned to restore different types of antique rugs and textiles from various countries over the years, so we not only have a knowledge of the construction, but we’re familiar with different techniques and styles. Those same skills eventually led me and my brother, Zabi, to open

WRITTEN BY BRITTANY S. CHEVALIER

our own small 400-square-foot workshop in Los Angeles in 1995, where we refurbished rugs found at flea markets and auctions. Today, all five of us—Zabi, Assad, Jawid, Murtaza and me—work collectively on operations and designs at Amadi.

How did you grow the company from a local repair shop to a global enterprise? Two years after opening our shop, we couldn’t find the quality of rugs we desired. We learned of numerous Afghan weavers who had fled to nearby Peshawar, Pakistan, during the civil war in the 1990s. We feel a deep connection with the people of Afghanistan and were looking for a way to assist those refugees. Zabi made the journey to Peshawar in 1997, and, coincidentally, ran into a foreman who worked in the factory that belonged to our mother’s family. Hiring him and his family led to employing other refugees. As the years went on, five looms turned into 10, 10 turned into 200, and soon we were employing over 1,000 Afghan weavers living in Pakistan.

At what point did you move the weaving operation back to Afghanistan? After the country’s liberation from the Taliban in 2003, many of the workers returned to Afghanistan.

That’s when we opened our first weaving workshop in Kabul and our focus shifted to employing an ignored sector of the population: women. It was our goal to create a safe workplace

where women would be empowered to make a living. It wasn’t easy: Even though we were from Afghanistan ourselves, we had to convince fathers, husbands and brothers that we were setting up a safe, harassment-free environment for their daughters, wives and sisters. Providing transportation to and from work offered them further protection. Additionally, due to four decades of ongoing war, a whole generation has been raised without an education; therefore, we offer one hour of basic reading and writing lessons every day.

In terms of the process, what distinguishes you from other rug companies? Since we control our own production, we get to be more creative, productive and effective than a typical rug gallery or company. From sourcing the raw wool to washing it, carding and dying it, we control every step. And the fact that we are improving lives along the way is an added plus.

Share what’s next for Amadi, design- and philanthropy-wise. We want to be more than a rug company. We’d like to launch furniture and textile lines one day. In terms of giving back, our goal is to extend the outreach of our programs and build more weaving centers in other parts of Afghanistan. After all, women are the backbone of the family, so if you help one woman, you help many people beyond her.

ROMANCING the STONES THE DESIGNER BEHIND MATTHEW STUDIOS TRAVELS THE WORLD SEARCHING FOR RARE CRYSTALS AND SEMIPRECIOUS GEMS TO CROWN HER LUXURIOUS LIGHTING AND HARDWARE COLLECTIONS. WRITTEN BY MICHELLE BRUNNER PHOTOGRAPHY BY NINA CHOI

LX_COM14_Radar_Bespoke_MathewStudio.indd 102

When you walk into Katherine Wildt O’Brien’s studio, you’d be forgiven for thinking you stumbled into a jeweler’s workshop or a geology buff’s paradise. A panoply of glimmering stones greets visitors of the space—with bright crystal quartz, deep violet amethyst and gleaming pyrite, also known as fool’s gold, all on glorious display. Unearthed from the farthest reaches of the globe, the shining specimens inspire New York City-based

Matthew Studios’ collections, which include hardware, lighting and case goods.

Wildt O’Brien’s love of exotic rocks started at a young age. As a teenager, she worked parttime in a gem shop, where an eccentric, elderly West Indian woman taught her about crystals and their properties. Following her passion, she established Matthew Studios, named for her pet rabbit, in 2008. Her big break came when Tory Burch asked her to design crystal luminaries

for her stores. “Just walking into the Tory Burch offices is so inspiring,” she says. “When we got the opportunity to work on custom lamps for her, it was a dream come true, not to mention a creative learning experience.”

Today, the company occupies a large loft space in Harlem, close to where the designer lives. In fact, it was the area’s African market, just a few blocks away from her studio, that provided the impetus for Wildt O’Brien’s latest hardware line. “I love the handcrafted, global ‘Gypset’ vibe at the market,” she says. “I have been collecting cowrie shell earrings for years and have wanted to do a collection incorporating them, since the cowrie shell is a traditional symbol of wisdom and abundance. Horn is another favorite used in African craft, and a powerful talisman of strength and inner power.” Acquiring it is another story: “It took two years to find a reputable source for naturally shed horn,” she says.

Not surprisingly, Wildt O’Brien’s inspiration board is full of recognizable safari-chic imagery, such as film stills from Out of Africa, photos from vintage Ralph Lauren runway shows, the work of photographer Peter Beard and shots of intricate, hand-beaded Masai necklaces. “The pieces are imbued with a nomadic spirit,” she says. A passion for travel, painting and even flea-market finds also filters into the design process. “I recently found a red-tagged, sale-bin rhinestone purse, and the handle inspired my new metal Harper cabinet pull series,” she says.

Refined settings of polished brass, nickel and chrome allow the stones to steal the show, whether it’s the deep whiskey-hued facets of smoky quartz or the vibrant emerald waves of malachite—both of which are sourced from mines in South America and Africa, respectively.

LX_COM14_Radar_Bespoke_MathewStudio.indd 104

“Simple forms are paired with natural, tonal textures that resonate against hand-cast metal,” Wildt O’Brien says. That juxtaposition of organic forms with polished finishes lends the collection a sophisticated well-traveled vibe that hints at many of the pieces’ exotic origins. Says the designer, “I’m still charmed by the idea that these stones have journeyed around the world to end up in a stylish new setting.”

BEST IN SHOWS SET A COURSE FOR FOUR DAZZLING DESIGN FAIRS, ALL BELLWETHERS OF TRENDS TO COME, IN FOUR STUNNING EUROPEAN SETTINGS. READ ON TO FIND OUT WHAT MAKES EACH ONE UNIQUE.

WRITTEN BY MARY ORE

FEBRUARY 6-10, 2018

▲ BIENNALE INTERIEUR, KORTRIJK, BELGIUM

Reason to go: The best of Nordic style is on full display here, with more than 700 eyecatching new introductions in furnishings, accessories and lighting, in an event that coincides with the festivities of Stockholm Design Week. What you’ll find: Eighty percent of the products are Scandinavian in origin, so it’s no surprise that regional brands, such as up-and-coming lighting design line Pholc, as well as established brands like Svenskt Tenn, whose vibrant style is shown in the vignette at right, are well represented. Smaller makers are celebrated, too, for their reinterpretations of traditional Scandi style. While the fair itself unfolds at Stockholmsmässan convention center, the entire city plays host to over 100 events, installations and parties as part of Design Week. stockholmfurniturelightfair.se

OCTOBER 2018

Reason to go: Small in size, but big in design talent, Belgium is a growing destination for creatives and aesthetes alike, and this highly selective, rigorously curated show happens every two years. A nonprofit fair, the Biennale Interieur’s unique installations often blur the line between commercial design and fine art. What you’ll find: With nearly half of the new products hailing from Belgium, you’ll see innovative twists on regional vernacular staples such as neutral linens, raw and rough-hewn woods, and burnished metals. The focus is on mostly local, European-produced design with a decidedly international point of view, and collaborations across industries or cultures are encouraged. Past galleries represented include Maniera from Brussels, Carwan Gallery from Beirut, and Paris’ Studio Dessuant Bone, whose “Perpetual Motion” installation is shown here. interieur.be

STOCKHOLM FURNITURE & LIGHT FAIR, STOCKHOLM

SALONE DEL MOBILE, MILAN

APRIL 17-22, 2018

Reason to go: Top Italian luxury brands save their launches for this acclaimed show, which is one of the world’s largest and most-buzzed-about furniture fairs, with more than 2,000 exhibitors on display. The fair runs in conjunction with two other shows that alternate each year: Euroluce (with international lighting releases) and EuroCucina (showcasing new innovations in kitchens).

What you’ll find: Aesthetic beauty, perfected over the centuries by the Italians, is the hallmark of the show, which takes place during Milan Design Week. In addition to dramatic displays in the Mario Bellini-designed convention center (like the Cappellini booth at right from last year’s show), the city at large gets into the spirit, offering up its 17th-century palazzos, empty concrete train vaults and even 12th-century churchyards as magnificent settings for designer suites or lines of lighting, making a stroll through the already alluring Italian city full of even more magic and wonder. salonemilano.it/en/

MAISON&OBJET, PARIS JANUARY 19-23, 2018

Reason to go: While one rarely needs an excuse to visit Paris, Maison&Objet gives design aficionados added incentive, as well as a sneak peek into the lifestyle and home decor looks that will soon catch on everywhere.

What you’ll find: Having originated as an exhibition of tabletop decor, the vision for the show has expanded exponentially—it now occupies eight halls, each one’s offerings ascending in grandeur, culminating in full-scale room displays by leading international brands. While the convention center is a 30-minute shuttle ride from the city, ce n’est pas grave—new grave talents to discover, like Zuza Mengham and Glassworks, the artists responsible for the objets at left, respectively, make the trip worth it. Occurring simultaneously in the city is Paris Deco Off, a showcase for the newest textiles and wallcoverings from top global companies. maison-objet.com 100 / LUXESOURCE.COM

#INSTACRUSH @jeffmorrical

WHO: Since moving to L.A. to attend Sci-Arc, artist Jeff Morrical has used his architectural studies to design single-sheet paper sculptures shaped by folds and gravity.

WHAT: Morrical loves the duality of making fine art pieces and sculptural “creatures” and then capturing them in natural settings, such as Joshua Tree National Park. In his new series, The Framed Horizon, his pieces juxtapose against rigid structures, including frames and walls.

WHY: Finding form in everyday materials has always been a source of inspiration for Morrical.

The folds give the paper a springy quality, adding lightness and movement to his work.

SHOPS + SHOWROOMS

The latest Los Angeles openings offer it all. After 10 years at the Pacific Design Center, Ralph Pucci (1025 N. McCadden Pl.) has relocated to a nearly 12,500-square-foot space off Highland Avenue. The former dance studio now houses Pucci’s collection of works by designers such as Hervé Van der Straeten, India Mahdavi and Andrée Putman. New to the Pacific Design Center is Furth Yashar & (8687 Melrose Ave., B260), a distinctly different kind of gallery focused on contemporary collectible design. “There’s amazing talent not represented in L.A.—we felt the area needed a space that doesn’t fit the typical model,” says artist and brand manager Sean Yashar of the Culture Creative, who founded the gallery with his partner, interior designer Oliver M. Furth. Just a few blocks away, the Nicole Sassaman showroom (116 Robertson Blvd.), shown above and below, displays the acclaimed designer’s signature mix of feminine and spirited home decor, fashion accessories, artwork and books.

THE INSIDER

MARTYN LAWRENCE BULLARD WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY HEATHER CARNEY

The first thing you’ll notice in Martyn Lawrence Bullard’s new atelier is the punchy patterns, then the striking colors, and finally, you’ll spot the whimsical light fixtures floating overhead. It’s a lot to take in, and that’s by design. After all, this 2,100-square-foot-space on Melrose Avenue is meant to personify the celebrity designer’s eclectic-glam aesthetic. “It’s a whole Martyn Lawrence Bullard world,” he says of his first-ever showroom. “L.A. is filled with life—people here are not scared of color, or of genres or of being avant-garde. I hope my space is a mirror image of that.” Here, the designer speaks about his travels, upcoming projects and decorating with color. martynlawrencebullard.com

How is the space configured? It has these amazing large windows that look out onto Melrose Avenue. I covered the ceilings in a silver Mylar that bounces light throughout the space.

Using my wallpapers, I divided it into sections for showcasing furniture, accessories and art, and I created a separate wallpaper and fabric gallery

You’re definitely not shy of color. I love color, and I’m not scared to use it. Color is making a big comeback—the days of cream-on-cream and all beige are gone. I’m seeing the design trends move toward including pops of color and statement pieces in the mix, such as lacquered furniture or a great work of art.

Speaking of art, what works do you feature in the showroom? I’m representing some wonderful photographic artists, such as artist Cheyenne Randall, who takes iconic imagery and hand-paints tattoos onto it. Then, there’s Ruven Afanador, a fashion and portrait photographer who did a collection of beautiful gypsy flamenco dancers.

They’re slightly esoteric and mix well with Pop art. featuring my collection with Schumacher, as well as pieces from Candice Held in Palm Springs and collections from South Africa and London.

What’s on the floor? I recently picked up a beautiful 1970s sculpture and some cerulean-inlaid tables while in London. I also found a collection of ’60s and ’70s Murano glass bottles and sculptures.

I just got a Portuguese bed and console that I updated by lacquering the bed in a high-gloss

What’s next? I have a collection launching with Frontgate in September, and another wallpaper line on the horizon with Cole & Son. Between now and into early 2018, I’ll be working on a variety of hospitality projects: Tommy Hilfiger’s legendary Raleigh hotel in Miami, the Four Seasons Residences in L.A., and Kimpton’s The Residences at Seafire on Grand Cayman. And, to top it all off, I have a new TV show in the mix.

Tell us about your vision for the atelier. It’s a melting pot of all the styles in my own lines and fabric collections. It’s an emporium. There’s pattern on pattern on pattern. That’s something I love in my work, but it also demonstrates how you can shake things up and mix periods.

HUBBARDTON FORGE

“

As a lighting designer, I should not be too focused on only the light fixture, but how that fixture interacts with the entire space, even if I don’t know what that space looks like.

” LED: LIGHTING THE FUTURE

An evolution in lighting design has taken place, incorporating new materials and technologies. Instead of retrofitting existing designs with LEDs, Hubbardton Forge has been developing designs specifically around the technology. To this end, the company has developed new initiatives, like using a local glassblower for many of its pieces and working with a local firm to develop LED components, thereby decreasing its environmental footprint.

“We’re using LEDs in new and interesting ways,” Kitts says. “With our Möbius mini pendant, we were able to shape and form the light-guide element so that it becomes a sculptural aspect of the piece.”

1

When lighting the kitchen or bath, Hubbardton Forge’s director of design, David Kitts, has this one directive. “Select light fixtures that you love; not just like. The bathroom should be your own personal oasis, and your kitchen should be a place where friends and family gather.” Insightful advice from the design lead of America’s foremost luxury lighting manufacturer. Lighting sets the mood, so he suggests mini pendants in multiples over a kitchen island and a chandelier or pendant with dimmable light above the tub. “The pendants won’t interfere with the line of sight for guests or family in the kitchen, and the chandelier creates a spa-like atmosphere in the bath,” he continues. A true American success story, Hubbardton Forge is known for pushing the limits of form and materials to create handcrafted designs that meld the artistry and functionality of lighting. With 230 designers and makers, engineers and production team and staff, the HF team views the world through unique prisms as they create beautiful pieces. Take Kitts’ recent trip to Reykjavik, Iceland, where its street art opened his eyes to a new way of looking at lighting. “I was inspired not by the content or quality of the work, but how the art interacted and contributed to the space, the building and the neighborhood,” he says. “Walking past the same mural on a sunny day and then again on a stormy day could be two very different experiences.”

According to the team at Cosentino, when it comes to surface solutions, granite has always been popular, but more consumers are moving toward quartz for its array of colors, lower maintenance and higher durability. And when it comes to style, they’re seeing contemporary themes, including industrial (midcentury modern and coastal), that combine clean lines, built-ins and simple cabinetry. As innovators in the world of kitchens and baths, Cosentino should know. The global company offers the latest in surfacing solutions by staying at the forefront of trends and manufacturing technologies. With the widest array of color and material choices, the company stresses the importance of cohesiveness so everything works together in the completed space. “Think long term,” the team says. “ ‘Will you love that bold color in a few years?’ ‘If you sell your home, would your choices be appealing to other buyers?’ “ They also cite the importance of weighing your lifestyle as much as your style.

“While it’s easy to make decisions based on looks alone, it’s important to think about how you use your space.” These answers inform everything from material choice to amenities one should include in their kitchen or bath.

STYLISH + SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS When you choose Cosentino products, you are getting the best on the market. Their advanced technical qualities, wide color options and 25-year warranty stand apart from the rest. For countertops, the new N-Boost advancement improves the color and luster of Silestone quartz, and makes it easier to clean than ever before. And while Dekton, the ultracompact surface with superior durability, isn’t new, Cosentino continues to create innovative color options that replicate the look of other materials. For energy efficiency and environmentally friendly products, Silestone’s ECO Line delivers with a series of colors made from up to 75-percent-recycled content, while Dekton Trillium is made from 60-percentrecycled content. Additionally, the company pays special attention to maintaining low emissions and a 98-percent reuse of water.

We believe in clean lines and timeless elegance with user-friendly features and the highest quality materials for every type of cook.

Harmonious design is also key, making sure everything aligns perfectly together in the kitchen.

Unique features, the latest innovations and harmonious design characterize the centuriesold kitchen appliance manufacturer Miele. Since its founding in 1899, the German-based innovator has remained true to its philosophy of “Immer Besser”, or forever better, forward-thinking, environmentally friendly kitchen designs with the added promise of superior quality, convenience and the most discerning attention to detail. “We want to ensure that our customers have peace of mind when choosing Miele for their appliance needs,” vice president of marketing Christian Schwarz says. As the kitchen continues to be the hub of the home and a central location for entertaining and living, Miele rises to the occasion with colored appliances, steam and induction options, and smart technology as the “connected” kitchen grows in prominence. One example of this technology is Miele’s innovative M Touch display, which can be found on its ranges and ovens. Fast, easy-to-use and self-explanatory, these appliances operate intuitively by simply pressing or swiping with your fingertip.

WOOD-MODE FINE CUSTOM CABINETRY

“

For 75 years, Wood-Mode has been producing high-quality cabinetry with time-honored techniques that blend timeless craftsmanship and functionality with a fashionforward approach to design.

”

For affluent homeowners and designers, Wood-Mode products are easily recognizable, from their wide variety of stains and finishes, to well-proportioned door styles and detailed moldings. But the high-end cabinetry manufacturer goes beyond the surface with smart features, such as motion technology for doors, unique storage solutions and integrated lighting, that increase the functional use of any space. “The integration of LED lighting into Wood-Mode cabinet interiors continues to evolve and will become more prevalent,” director of design John Troxell says. “Technology and design innovations have made former challenges, such as interior, recessed vertical lighting and drawer bank lighting, a standard option now.” When discussing trending styles, Troxell says transitional and contemporary looks continue, drawing on recycled materials or midcentury modern details to define the effect. No matter the style, the team at Wood-Mode agrees—cohesion is key. And when starting any renovation, they offer these tried-and-true tips: Do your homework; develop a wish list; establish a budget and a time frame; and collect images of rooms, features and products you like. Troxell adds, “A growing array of materials and finish applications will provide consumers and designers with greater possibilities to create kitchens and other rooms that are uniquely personal.”

WOOD-MODE ON … ILLUMINATION + INNOVATION Wealthy urban and suburban homeowners are increasing the square footage of their kitchens, combining multiple spaces into one large, open-concept area. This provides us with a lot of opportunities, including custom-made furniture like bookcases and desks, along with breakfast nooks and multipurpose islands. Designers and homeowners also have the option to select species and finishes that complement or contrast within their design. Other trends include interior lighting with integrated LED, under-cabinet and in-cabinet options. We continue to be inspired by advances in storage and functionality as well. And metal is making its mark, with stainless-steel countertops and metallic fronts for cabinets increasing in demand.

THE WELL-DESIGNED KITCHEN AND BATH

ZEPHYR

When asked to describe the philosophy behind Zephyr, company president Luke Siow says, “We strive to transform the kitchen through design, discovery and care. Through our products, design partnerships and innovative technology, we hope to elevate the kitchen as a center for self-expression, family and well-being.” Fait accompli for the foremost kitchen hood manufacturer, marking its 20th anniversary this year with a look back at the defining moments in the company’s history and its game-changing hoods. The first manufacturer to bring performance and power-driven ventilation to the kitchen, Zephyr made a name for itself with the introduction of its European-style chimney hoods. Since that time, the company has launched industry firsts such as its DCBL Suppression System®, and Bloom™ HD and BriteStrip™ LED products. Zephyr continues to break design barriers and give designers and consumers more options with its new Black Stainless Steel hoods with titanium coating; a sleek alternative to stainless steel. “Consumers believe that heightened design should be central in the kitchen, and are uncompromising when it comes to performance and quality,” Siow says. With thoughtful designs and an ongoing commitment to technological advancement, Zephyr elevated the kitchen hood from a purely utilitarian appliance to an eye-catching, artful centerpiece.

“

Zephyr continues to change the marketplace by blending form and function to create beautiful, high-quality hoods that are an asset to any home.

ZEPHYR ON … DESIGNER HOODS Since 1997, Zephyr has been at the forefront of kitchen innovation, design and technology.

Not long after, Robert Brunner, founder of Ammunition Design Group and the creative powerhouse behind products like Beats by Dre, joined Zephyr to create the innovative Arc Collection. A geometrically stunning marriage of glass and metal, this collection offers designers and homeowners modern sophistication at its finest.

À LA AISE FRANÇAISE

THE RESTAURANT AT HOTEL PANACHE PARIS, FRANCE Located in the lively opera district of the city’s 9th arrondissement, this Art Nouveau-inspired bistro is emblematic of the neighborhood’s storied past and innate creative energy. Influenced by the triangular shape of the building, Parisian designer Dorothee Meilichzon, of Chzon, fostered continuity throughout with geometric details like round light fixtures and striped and hexagonal patterns, along with bright pops of color, all while maintaining the restaurant’s classical French integrity—as seen in the pieces shown here.

Named in honor of the highest of the four important Hawaiian deities and the father of living creatures, this new restaurant introduces a lush tropical atmosphere to the urban jungle of Bucharest. Having spent his childhood in the Caribbean, co-owner David Maguet gravitates toward raw, organic elements and brought local architect Bogdan Ciocodeica on board to delicately balance the use of such materials with vibrant pops of green—a look that prompted our own mix of eartheninspired accessories oozing with laid-back sophistication.

OUT OF THE BOX IN A WORLD VAST WITH ENDLESS INSPIRATION AND INCREDIBLE DESIGN, THESE SIX GLOBAL BRANDS CAUGHT OUR ATTENTION THIS SEASON, BEGGING TO BE HANDLED WITH CARE. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY KATE BERGERON PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC PIASECKI

MARA SILBER

INTERIOR DESIGNER MARASILBER.COM

At first sight: I’m completely impressed with Oeuffice’s penchant for reimagining the classics: They manage to create sculptural works of art that are equally functional and versatile. On composition: It’s against this backdrop that the stools prove their inherent duality. They feel natural against the exposed brick but would also easily hold their own in both a formal or contemporary setting. As far as design goes… Italy really has no limits. These stools resonate with the country’s influential style in part because of the simple application of elegant, timeless materials; the Cipollino Apuano marble is super-sleek, the travertine is very porous, and the Rosa Perlino marble is full of movement. Each element is independently unassuming, but in union, striking works of art are born. Lasting impression: Refined, sculptural, bold, fresh and playful.

LX_COM14_Market_Spotlight.indd 146

5/16/17 12:49 PM

POST MATES THE PIECES: Ionik Stool and Tuskan Stool THE DESIGNER: Oeuffice FIND IT: mattermatters.com THE INSPIRATION: When Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte and Jakub Zak’s creativity united in 2011 to form their U.K.-based design laboratory, Oueffice, they challenged themselves to imagine limited-edition objects, that were reminiscent of utopian ideals and innovation. Enter the Ionik and Tuskan stools, both part of a second coming of the studio’s Kapital collection and based on primitive stone columns resonant with classical architecture. Handcrafted in Italy using solid-stone blocks, they are modern in aesthetic and scale but maintain the integrity of their inspirational era—an edgy balance very much in line with the contemporary duo’s manifesto.

PALETTE PLEASER THE PIECE: Spring Lamp in Irish Green THE DESIGNER: Mathieu Lehanneur FIND IT: carpentersworkshopgallery.com THE INSPIRATION: Paris-based designer/artist/science enthusiast Mathieu Lehanneur dreamed up the Spring lamp, alongside its counterparts from the Spring series, with the intention of transporting design lovers to a land of natural and ecological metamorphosis.

Lehanneur’s aim to create eye-catching objects that examine nature’s poetic side is realized in this delicate lighting fixture, comprised of a bundle of hand-blown, ribbed-glass tubes in a rich green marble base.

Along with other materials from the series, both the marble and glass were incorporated into the piece in their natural color and condition— inciting a primitive moment in an otherwise distinctly modern piece.

LX_COM14_Market_Spotlight.indd 148

OLIVER M. FURTH INTERIOR DESIGNER OLIVERMFURTH.COM

At first sight: There’s a wonderful sense of fluidity to this light fixture, almost like water that’s lit from within. Artist to artist: In my own work, I’m constantly trying to push the design dialogue forward, and this piece falls in that special spot between design and sculpture. Lehanneur is playing with our preconceived notions of what a lamp is and propelling those ideas a little further. It’s important… To know the rules before you break them. Here, the artist is clearly informed about design, which is why any risks taken clearly paid off. Global musings: As our world becomes larger, it’s increasingly important to look inward and become more focused. For example, I try to figure out what an area offers that’s specific to that place, whether woven silk textiles in Laos or innovative lighting in Paris. I am always on the hunt for the offbeat and the unusual. The French… Have been innovators in decorative arts since AndréCharles Boulle’s then-groundbreaking furniture in the 17th century, and I think Lehanneur is definitely following in the footsteps of his countrymen. Lasting impression: This design is sculptural, graceful, fluid, lyrical and dynamic.

5/16/17 12:49 PM

CRATE MATTERS THE PIECE: P2 Lavinia Exagonal Armchair THE DESIGNER: Lazzarini & Pickering for Marta Sala Éditions FIND IT: thefutureperfect.com THE INSPIRATION: A second collaboration between noted Italian architect Marta Sala and Roman architectural studio Lazzarini & Pickering brings us the P2 Lavinia Exagonal armchair, a showstopper from Marta Sala Éditions’ Collection No – 2. Shown in a sumptuous Pierre Frey fabric, the seat’s striking shape and seductive proportions incite immediate interest. One would expect no less from this power collab, but there is still something to be said about a design that equally prizes comfort and allure. And in the case of the P2 Lavinia: Mission accomplished.

LEO PARRELLA

INTERIOR DESIGNER LEOPARRELLA.COM

At first sight: The Lavania Exagonal armchair is incredibly modern and reminiscent of Italian furniture from the 1960s and ’70s—a fitting result from this pairing of industry leaders. The piece is as smart from behind as it is straight on, and the exacting lines are both gorgeous and unapologetic. As a first-generation Italian… I may be biased, but I feel that Italy is the undisputed leader in design. Be it automobiles or architecture, furniture or fashion, the legacy of our people is bold, thoughtful design, and this piece is clearly Italian-born. Global gatherers: The hunt and find is one of the more thrilling parts of what I get to do with interiors. Pieces collected from around the world add that transportive element of a life welllived. And an international piece with heritage or a good story gives a sense of being collected rather than assembled. Lasting impression: This striking seat reads as stylish, architectural, luxurious and dramatic.

SEND AND DELIVER THE PIECES: Mali Vases and Jethi Vases THE DESIGNER: Jaimal Odedra FIND IT: maisongerard.com THE INSPIRATION: Moved by the melodious rhythm of bamboo forests, decorated fashion vet Jaimal Odedra set out to explore a new medium with his Mali and Jethi vases. Using bronze in the traditional sand-casting technique, the vases are handmade by artisans in Morocco, and though Odedra visualizes each form and silhouette, the life of each piece is organically determined by the skilled hands that shape it—resulting in one-of-a-kind mini masterpieces.

CONSUELO PIERREPONT AND KATIE SPALDING INTERIOR DESIGNERS SWAY-STUDIO.COM

At first sight: Jaimal’s pieces exude a dramatic subtlety and a relaxed-luxe nature. They’re extremely elevated and yet artisanal all at once.

We are really drawn… To the versatility of these beautiful objects. They are such unique designs but don’t have an obvious provenance, in the best way possible. In design, culture and spirit… Morocco is perpetually inspiring with its use of colors, shapes and the effortless ability to seamlessly blend everything together. While these vases are a more modern interpretation of these traits, they embody the country’s unmistakable mélange of the organic and the well-crafted. Global musings: Nothing adds layers like sourcing from around the world.

Our clients want to know the stories that are attached to a piece; they want us to use pieces that tell a part of their story. Jaimal’s works seem to do just that. Lasting impression: Fluid, effortless and memorable.

MEGAN PFLUG

INTERIOR DESIGNER MEGANPFLUGDESIGNS.COM

At first sight: The Celestial bowls are the perfect fusion of traditional forms with modernized midcentury ideals. While the shapes are evocative of ancient pottery, the studded embellishments are extremely current and pack an edgy punch. Ceramics (and Tulum for that matter) are… Having a huge moment, which makes Elad’s latest collection even more special and relevant. It’s really lovely to see regions with a long-standing relationship to these materials and techniques making a mark on contemporary design. The resulting pieces always seem to have the most integrity. At home: I imagine these objects functioning beautifully as both decor and utilitarian objects. I’m already picturing filling them with fruit or creating an unexpected floral arrangement. Lasting impressing: The Celestial bowls are modern, punk, classical and statement-making.

LX_COM14_Market_Spotlight.indd 151

CASED GOODS THE PIECES: Celestial Bowl on Stand in Gold + Green and Celestial Bowl on Stand in Gold + Black THE DESIGNER: Elad Yifrach FIND IT: l-objet.com THE INSPIRATION: Elad Yifrach, the mastermind behind lifestyle brand L’Objet, fell in love with Tulum, Mexico, the moment his senses connected with the town’s lustrous and unparalleled warmth and energy. This beachy nook along the Yucatan Peninsula and its storied history inspired a collection of earthy, charmingly desaturated and understated yet elegant pieces. The Celestial bowls, especially, speak to Yifrach’s devotion to Tulum’s vibrancy and aesthetic: a little bit wild but nevertheless the pinnacle of authenticity.

WHITE GLOVE THE PIECE: The Man Ray Glass Leaf Mirror THE DESIGNER: Cox London FIND IT: rosetarlow.com THE INSPIRATION: After years of creative collaboration and a mutual affinity for the decorative arts, design duo Christopher and Nicola Cox officially joined forces in 2005 with the launch of their London studio. Ever since then, they have been producing exquisite and original pieces—the Man Ray mirror being no exception.

A love letter to 19th-century French Dieppe bone mirrors, the Man Ray is a striking blend of handpulled ivory glass leaves, carved silver gilt wood and hand-silvered mirror plate, and embodies the very vision of its creators: designs that are rich in technique and timelessness.

MAX HUMPHREY INTERIOR DESIGNER MAXHUMPHREY.COM

At first sight: This showstopper of a mirror appeals to me in that it is extremely delicate but commanding of your attention—a true statement piece indeed. It also speaks to the fabulousness of Cox London as a company. Add Rose Tarlow’s stamp of approval and I’m sold.

As an Anglophile… With a lifelong obsession for all things British—pop music, movies, art and design—this mirror epitomizes the U.K. tradition of things not always being what they seem. At first, I thought it was comprised of a million little shark teeth à la Damien Hirst’s renowned tiger shark in formaldehyde sculpture, which like this mirror, doesn’t fully register until staring it right in the face.

On composition: I love the contrast of this fragile piece dwelling in an industrial space, when one would normally anticipate it living in a traditional environment. Lasting impression: This mirror is delicate, intricate, beautiful and unexpected.

ON THE MARK At first glance, one might mistake this chic room for the galley kitchen of an urban pied-à-terre. However, the space—featuring a customizable cabinet system designed by Piero Lissoni for Boffi with black granite countertops and appliances from Gaggenau, Miele and Sub-Zero—is in fact ensconced in one of The Mark’s Premier Three-Bedroom Suites in New York City.

Designers Tara Mangini and Percy Bright of Jersey Ice Cream Company specified this kitchen within an apartment-like suite in Philadelphia’s Lokal Hotel with simple lines and Shaker-style millwork inspired by its surroundings. The kitchen also pairs light plaster walls with darker bottom cabinets to great effect as a nod to colorways of centuries past. “Design-wise, we took as many cues as we could from the historic neighborhood, one rich in American manufacturing history and beautiful late-19 th-century buildings,” explains Bright. staylokal.com

Laid-back vibes abound at the Bohemian-style Casa Cook Rhodes in Greece, evident in this serene bathroom space thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much more than simply a place for washing your face and stashing your toiletries.

THE PARACHUTE HOTEL

VENICE, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES DESIGN BACKGROUND: When a home-essentials brand with the perfect formula for fluffy towels debuts a luxury hotel, you know it’s time to book your next getaway. Such is the case for The Parachute Hotel—designed by Scott Horne and Peter Dolkas— which invites guests to experience the Parachute lifestyle (and perhaps, most importantly, its genius bedding and bath textiles) firsthand. DETAILS TO LOVE: This bathroom received the same careful attention as any bespoke residential project, with furnishings from “like-minded vendors, makers and local friends of the brand,” says Horne.

PREPARE FOR TAKE-OFF AS LUXE SETS AN INTERNATIONAL AGENDA THAT INCLUDES AMAZING ARCHITECTURE, INSPIRING INTERIORS AND MUST-SEE SIGHTS. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY MICHELLE BRUNNER

FLIGHT OF FANCY Modern technology has put inspiration at our fingertips, dissolving traditional boundaries and making even the most remote pockets of the planet feel within reach. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the world of design, where at any given moment, creatives have access to a virtual library of beautiful images and products from around the globe without ever having to leave home. While armchair travel is a lovely way to kill a few hours, sometimes it’s necessary to put down that smartphone, hop on a plane and go see the sights firsthand. After all, there’s no comparison to experiencing the architecture of Marrakesh or Shanghai in person. To that end, we recruited a few of our favorite industry experts to share some of their top international spots for design lovers.

English artist Claire Brewster creates intricate paper sculptures from cut-out maps of the world. Birds in flight are a favorite subject, as in Done and Dusted shown here.

MARRAKESH EXPRESS

One look at her iconic line of carpets and textiles, and you can see the Moroccan inspiration behind Madeline Weinrib’s work. The New York-based designer has been making annual pilgrimages to Marrakesh for nearly 20 years.

Below, she presents her top recommendations for shopping and sustenance. madelineweinrib.com

PLACES TO SHOP:

PLACES TO EAT:

33 RUE MAJORELLE Like a smaller version of the legendary Parisian boutique Colette, this open-concept shop just opposite the Majorelle Garden is stocked with an expertly curated collection of clothes, jewelry and art by local designers.

DAR YACOUT Designed by Bill Willis, the late American architect and decorator who helped put Marrakesh on the style map, this dining spot serves a set menu amid dramatic decor.

Plan ahead; reservations are a must.

ALNOUR Located in the medina, or old city, this workshop and store is a social enterprise for handicapped women who are skilled in the art of embroidery. They sell exquisite, handmade linens for the home, as well as clothing.

EL FENN BOUTIQUE With its impressive art collection and drop-dead gorgeous interiors, El Fenn, from Vanessa Branson, Virgin mogul Richard Branson’s sister, is one of the most stylish stays in the medina. Now, it features an adjoining boutique with an array of wonderful home goods, which can be shipped globally.

I’ve collaborated with them on a collection of pillows, and all proceeds from sales benefit a foundation that teaches women to weave in the Atlas Mountains.

LX_COM14_TheReport.indd 180

NOMAD RESTAURANT With a modern menu that features fresh salads, Nomad is my favorite place for lunch in the medina. The café has a lovely terrace that overlooks “spice square,” where you can view all the exotic spice vendors.

Bonus: They take craft cocktails seriously here.

LALLA French owner Laetitia Trouillet crafts chic handbags—think studded leather clutches—and accessories at this boutique in the hip Guéliz district. Her bags, scarves and headbands make wonderful gifts for friends back home.

DAR MOHA This restaurant was once the home of French designer Pierre Balmain. I like to sit by the pool, but all the rooms are charming. There is a set menu with many courses of Moroccan food, so be prepared for a feast.

MAISON DU KAFTAN Perhaps no article of clothing conjures images of Morocco quite like the free-flowing kaftan. Also located in the medina, this store is stocked with versions of the garment in all colors, styles and price ranges.

BELDI COUNTRY CLUB If you need a peaceful respite from the commotion of the souk, you can’t beat this place for a leisurely swim or a spa treatment. Grab a French-style lunch by the pool—the salade nicoise is divine!

ARTFUL LODGER Jasper Conran has designed women’s fashion, menswear, accessories and home goods, but he’s never attached his name and aesthetic to a hotel—until now. L’Hôtel Marrakech is the British designer’s first foray into luxury lodging.

“Opening a hotel has brought together all that I enjoy working on the most: food, textiles, interiors and gardens,” he says. Located in a 19th-century riad (a traditional Moroccan dwelling with an interior courtyard) in the heart of the medina, the otherworldly retreat combines modern-day amenities with oldfashioned glamour. “Marrakesh is a city of amazing contrasts where one can wander along dark alleys and emerge into exquisite gardens and beautiful courtyards,” he says. “I wanted to make L’Hôtel Marrakech a comfortable home, where people feel immediately welcome and happy.” l-hotelmarrakech.com

3 a la mode A half century ago, the desert city of Marrakesh cast a spell over fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, forever influencing his work. To honor that legacy, the long-awaited Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech, designed by Studio KO, will open its doors in October. Located on the street bearing his name near the Jardin Marjorelle—the legendary garden that he and longtime partner Pierre Bergé saved from development in 1980—the museum will feature permanent and rotating exhibitions as well as a library, café and restaurant.

“This city deeply influenced Yves’ life and work, particularly his discovery of color,” says Bergé. “The Studio KO architects share this passion for Marrakesh and their clean, uncluttered style recalls his work.”

4 HALLO BERLIN!

German architect Gisbert Pöppler has crafted sophisticated, jewel-box spaces throughout Berlin during his 20-year career. Over the years, he’s cultivated a number of favorite haunts throughout the art-centric city. Below, he shares a few picks. gisbertpoeppler.com

Emperor Wilhelm II, and its garden is a calming hideaway in the middle of the city.

8:30 a.m. I love starting the day with breakfast in the Wintergarten café at Literaturhaus Berlin.

The villa was built in 1889, during the reign of

2 p.m. I stop by Trouvé-Berlin for a little treasure hunting. This vintage furniture store is dedicated to French and Italian design of the 20th century.

10 a.m. Head to Berlinische Galerie (shown above), a new museum whose primary collection is composed of art produced in the city, spanning from 1870 to present-day.

12 p.m. Hunger strikes, so I pop into Salumeria Lamuri, a casual Italian restaurant located in the Kreuzberg neighborhood. It’s my favorite intimate spot for a satisfying lunch with a good glass of wine.

5

3 p.m. For treasure of a different sort, visit René Talmon l’Armée’s shop. The jewelry designer makes beautiful pieces using 18-karat gold, oxidized silver and naturally colored diamonds.

4 p.m. To get a sense of Berlin’s decadence in the 1920s, check out the museum at the LiebermannVilla. German painter Max Liebermann’s old summer residence by Lake Wannsee holds many of the artist’s paintings and has an impressive garden.

7 p.m. Briefmarken Weine is a low-key wine bar that occupies a former East German storefront— its neon sign “Briefmarken” translates to “stamps.”

With amazing pasta, antipasto and wine, it’s the perfect spot to end the day.

AGAINST THE GRAIN

File this one under happy accidents: Cologne-based designer Meike Harde was staining fabric when some of the pigment spilled onto her wooden worktop, leaving streaks of bold color to run along the grain of the surface. In that moment, her Wooden Aquarelle project was born. Based on a technique once used by German Expressionist painters, Harde’s process of applying color to wood is random, so no two panels are alike. With their intense hues and soft transitions, the panels resemble dreamy, hypnotic watercolors. When applied to furnishings, like the triangular nesting tables seen here, the effect is mesmerizing. meikeharde.com

LOCAL FLAVOR Nearly 30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the German city has enjoyed a renewed reputation as a decadent and cosmopolitan hub for the international art and design scene, and many of its unique hotels reflect that vibe. Here, we present four urban retreats that cater to individualized style.

EDGY LUXURY ECLECTIC AND PLAYFUL 25HOURS HOTEL BIKINI BERLIN Housed in a former 1950s high-rise, this hotel’s youthful vibe comes from the whimsical interiors of German designer Werner Aisslinger. Bicycles dangle from the lobby’s ceiling and hammocks hang in rooms overlooking the city zoo, providing the perfect perch for checking out the wildlife.

SHANGHAI SURPRISE

There’s no shortage of personality in Jamie Drake’s glamorous, modern, color-saturated interiors. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, then, that the celebrated New York designer also has a reputation for being quite the bon vivant.

What better insider to share his idea of a perfect day in the cosmopolitan city of Shanghai? drakeanderson.com 7:30 a.m. Rise and shine at The Peninsula hotel located right on The Bund, the famed waterfront promenade. Enjoy the view of the new city of Pudong across the Huangpu River. From here, I can see the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, an awesome 1,535-foot spire that looks like it came right off the pages of a futuristic comic book.

8:30 a.m. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast in the lobby, the hotel’s airy and spacious hub. The smoked salmon with a single scrambled egg is perfect, and the breads and pastries from the buffet are hard to resist; though, I do try to limit myself.

10 a.m. I always make time after breakfast for a relaxed morning walk along The Bund to admire the city. It’s a good way to get revved up for the day ahead, and it’s the best time to avoid the massive crowds that descend on the area at

lunchtime. With so many different types of buildings, the neighborhood is a living museum of architectural styles.

12:30 p.m. Off to the Longhua Pagoda and Temple. It features a vegetarian restaurant, which is quite common for an active Buddhist temple. The superb main course is a soup bowl filled with carefully prepared garden delights and noodles. In the nearby entry area, school children learn how to make dumplings.

2 p.m. After lunch, tour the pagoda and temple with one of the monks as a guide. The multiple buildings are filled with spectacular carved and gilded deities. I’m in awe of one of the halls in particular; it’s filled with 500 golden statues. My kind of army—peace-loving and glittering!

3 p.m. Check out more furniture showrooms in the design district around Jiangning Road. Some of the wares are eye-poppingly over-the-top, but there are a few quieter, modern offerings as well.

5:30 p.m. Sneak back to the hotel for a muchneeded rest and pre-dinner nap.

8 p.m. If you grow weary of Asian food, opt for French food at the sensational bistro Franck, located in the French Concession neighborhood.

By this time, a martini up with a twist is sorely needed, and much enjoyed. When I’m there, I order a traditional Gallic meal and wash it down with a light Beaujolais. For dessert: rich and decadent chocolate mousse.

10:45 p.m. Lights out—until the next time. Xie Xie!

INSIDE STORY For over 20 years, Kerry Phelan has been a leading force in the Melbourne design scene, creating elegant spaces that are understated but luxurious. Here, she gives us the scoop on her effortlessly hip hometown. kpdo.com

What quality makes Melbourne design unique?

Melbourne has a different feel than Sydney. It has a colder climate, and it’s moodier; whereas, Sydney is all about the sunshine and the harbor. Our design always nods to our natural environment.

Why do you think the city is having a moment?

The influx of a lot of new restaurants, cafés and bars has given designers a chance to be more adventurous. Also, the residential property market is extremely competitive—developers not only employ designers as a marketing tool, but also to promote a Melbourne lifestyle. Finally, there’s Instagram, which is creating its own, universal visual language, bringing Australian design to an international audience.

DRAMATIC TURN Sydney designer Greg Natale, known for his fondness of bold colors and geometric patterns, has won international acclaim for his tailored, sophisticated interiors. Read on for his take on design in the land down under. gregnatale.com What sets Australian design apart? I think our geography has helped to create our own “international” style. We’re influenced by our traditional European roots, but we also admire the creativity and industriousness of America.

Factor in our proximity to Asia and our mild climate, and you can see how Australian design has evolved into its own thing.

the Art Gallery of New South Wales, which is next to the Royal Botanic Gardens, or the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, which is nestled on the shores of Sydney Harbor.

It may sound clichéd, but if you’re ever in town, you must visit the Sydney Opera House to see a show and take in the amazing architecture by Jørn Utzon.

Favorite Aussie designers past and present: I am a big admirer of the late architect Harry Seidler. His work was ahead of its time and his career spanned many decades. His projects weren’t always warmly received, but his provocative work defined a style and an era of Australian architecture.

Dream project: I would love to try my hand at a private jet—who wouldn’t! There’s a challenge in creating a chic interior with so many restrictions on space and functionality.

Must-see sites when visiting Sydney: As an art lover, I always make sure to drop into

LX_COM14_TheReport.indd 177

Favorite local design brands: Chris Connell Design is brilliant for all things furniture, product, interiors and architecture; he’s been a driving force over the last 25 years for original design.

And Bruce Rowe from Anchor Ceramics does phenomenal sculpture and planter vessels.

Up next: I recently launched a collection of decorative glass mosaic tiles with Italian brand Bisazza. I also did a new collection of hand-knotted Tibetan wool and silk rugs, and I’ve got new housewares out later this year.

os Angeles neighborhoods inspire fierce loyalty. Some are drawn to the sweeping vistas spied from a perch in the Hollywood Hills, while others gravitate toward the funkychic vibe of Silver Lake. Still others feel the pull of Hancock Park, smitten with its central location, tree-lined streets and some of the most impressive—and varied—residential architecture in town. Count among the last group a screenwriter, her marketing executive husband and their two children. “Before I moved to Los Angeles from New York, I went to a party in Hancock Park,” the wife recalls. “I could not believe how glorious the place was.” And after moving to L.A., she has never lived more than two miles from the spot where she first fell for the neighborhood.

Looking for more outside space than their current home afforded but not wanting to move out of the area, the family discovered a 1917 house for sale nearby with notably whimsical architecture and the requisite outdoor area.

They purchased it almost immediately and soon called in Sarah Shetter, who had worked on their previous Hancock Park residence and their Malibu escape, to handle the interior design. In keeping with a dwelling that reads as an architectural mélange of Tudor, Jacobean and Craftsman influences, the couple asked for a similarly multifaceted approach for the rooms. “The pieces are from different periods and eras,” Shetter says of the furnishings, which were inspired by both the wife’s affection for older items with a story and the husband’s love of sleek elements.

“I incorporated things they’ve had for years,” says the designer, who also happens to live and work in Hancock Park. “The new furnishings we brought in had to have enough weight to work with the historical architecture.” To that end, the designer incorporated the clients’ own mod red chair into the family room, where it lives happily with a new custom sectional done up in a vivid ikat. In the master bedroom, the bed and wing chair are both existing pieces that accompany a petite Saarinen side table.

Above: In the entry of a 1917 house in Hancock Park, designer Sarah Shetter arranged a lamp by David Cressey, a vintage Danish console and an abstract painting by Helen Frankenthaler and covered the stairway wall in a Farrow & Ball paper, setting the stage for the vibrant assortment of periods and styles found throughout.

Opposite: A Circa Lighting fixture hangs in front of a pointed archway leading into the dining room, where chairs by Roberto and Mito Block from Adesso Eclectic Imports in a fabric from Holly Hunt surround the custom table.

Above is a Bourgeois Bohème Atelier chandelier, while underfoot is a vintage rug from Woven.

The living room retains its period feel but still offers stylish modern comfort. A custom sofa covered in yellow velvet from Maharam and a custom rosewood-and-stone console yield a feeling of warmth.

Shetter layered a hand-knotted Turkish rug from Woven on a navy rug from Mansour Modern.

The leather chair is by Garza Marfa from Heath Ceramics.

Besides combining old and new in vintage surroundings, “it was important for the interiors to look cohesive but not like a decorator had been there,” Shetter explains. “Each room has at least one handmade aspect, whether it’s a painting, a fabric, a rug or a lampshade. That character gives a feeling of warmth.” One of those items was an oil painting, now hanging upstairs, that the wife found on Etsy. The hues in the portrait of a woman done in white, yellow, blue and brown inspired the palette for the entire home. For instance, in the main living room, Shetter upholstered a massive sofa in yellow velvet and placed a vintage Turkish rug on top of a larger blue silk one. She painted the dining room walls a rich, deep blue above the warm wood wainscoting, creating a backdrop for the room’s showpiece—a collection of Ellsworth Kelly drawings, a family heirloom. The powder room gets its share of yellow and earth tones from the grass cloth, the collection of art on the walls and the vintage American Empire-style dressing table transformed into a vanity.

Shetter’s revamped spaces sit within a structure brimming with history. The home was originally the work of The Milwaukee Building Company—the firm, which, under the name Meyer and Holler, was responsible for a pair of Hollywood icons, Grauman’s Chinese Theater and Grauman’s Egyptian Theater.

It required surprisingly little in the way of restoration, according to builder Brad Keeler. “It wasn’t hard to make it look as good as it does,” he says. “The challenge luxesource.com / 187

wasn’t bringing it back to life; it was matching the finishes and molding that had been so well maintained. The new features like the kitchen and the baths were just icing on the cake.”

Conjuring up the metaphorical icing fell to architect Sonny Ward and project managers Corey Miller and Malek Alqadi. “The house was outdated, and the clients asked us to infuse a freshness without taking away from the historic charm,” Ward says. The team converted one of the master closets into another bedroom that functions as a study space for the couple’s children. Alqadi helped select distinctive hand-painted Moroccan tile for the master bathroom, powder room and kitchen. And the kitchen received an extensive overhaul—new appliances, an island and a large Tom Dixon light fixture. The architectural team also employed painted flat-front MDF cabinetry that luxesource.com / 191

achieves a crisp look while maintaining period-appropriate proportions. Finally, tackling the landscape in conjunction with landscape designer Andrea Scharff of Andrea Scharff Landscape Design, they preserved the rolling front lawn, a historic feature in that part of the neighborhood, by keeping the plantings and shrubs close to the house.

The home now functions perfectly for a modern family, which Ward and Shetter attribute to the vision of the clients.

“In our experience,” Ward says, “most clients would opt to blow historic walls and character-defining features out or make additions, but these clients accepted the boundaries of the historic asset, and the results are amazing.” Adds Shetter: “I’m lucky. These clients like to take risks. They have their own sense of style and didn’t choose a house or an interior design for anyone but themselves. That is so refreshing.” luxesource.com / 193

OLD WORLD MEETS NEW TRADITIONAL SPANISH-STYLE ARCHITECTURE BELIES THE COSMOPOLITAN INTERIORS OF A NEW HOME IN LAGUNA BEACH.

A

couple looking to move back to Laguna Beach after 10 years in Shady Canyon had a specific and extensive shopping list for their new property. It had to have a view, a backyard, plenty of privacy and be situated north of Main Beach. As the husband tells it, “We were willing to compromise on one. It was a small miracle that we got all four.” Their two-year search finally led them to a hillside perch near Crystal Cove State Park with views south to Dana Point and gave them plenty of time to brainstorm ideas for how they wanted their residence to take shape both inside and outside. “We love the classic Santa Barbara style and wanted a home that fit into the amazing hillside,” the wife says. “However, in the interiors, we wanted a contemporary yet comfortable feel that would showcase the views and our art collection.” Their designer, Lisa McDennon, immediately knew how to execute their vision. “I think the clients and I were on the same page from the start,” McDennon says. “The design concepts all just seemed to flow quickly.”

LX_CA44_HOM_Windsor_14.indd 198

And so it was for the architectural design. “During the interview, I did a quick back-of-the-envelope pencil sketch,” says architect Homer Oatman. “They had a specific vision, and the final design isn’t that different from that initial concept. It’s one of my favorite residential styles, particularly for a home in Southern California.” Plus, working with frequent collaborator and builder Tim Grady got things off on the right foot. Grady notes construction in the area isn’t always easy with entitlement restrictions and review boards, but working with Oatman makes for smooth sailing. “Homer and his staff are very talented, provide very comprehensive planning and keep a close eye on their projects until they are fully completed,” he says.

Inside, McDennon brought a Spanish-style accent consistent with Oatman’s exterior vision while honoring the clients’ request that the home have a cosmopolitan vibe. “In each space, it was important for me to always reflect back and include something in the space that aligned with the architectural style of the home,” the designer says. In the entry, for example, a wrought-iron railing plays off a large

“It was a careful balance of a Spanish exterior with interiors that blended the husband’s interest in contemporary style and the wife’s interest in all the details,” designer Lisa McDennon says of the Laguna Beach home she recently completed with architect Homer Oatman and builder Tim Grady. Landscape designer Richard King incorporated roses and succulents into the grounds.

A carved front door marks the transition from the traditional exterior to the loft-like interiors.

The homeowners commissioned a Nicole Landau work for the entryway. McDennon designed the stair rail, fabricated by Saddleback Valley Ornamental Iron and the iron chandelier made by Del Mar Lighting Company with blown-glass globes by Bruce Freund. Lamps from Made Goods with shades in a Romo fabric top a Bernhardt console; the rugs are from Stark.

photographic work by Nicole Landau. “We could have easily designed a glass handrail; instead, we chose to create an iron railing with a modern Spanish interpretation,” says McDennon, adding that the complementary artwork sets the tone for the space. It joins works by Ed Moses and Curtis Ripley as well as pieces selected by L.A. art consultant Wendy Posner.

That juxtaposition of traditional and contemporary elements flows into the living room, a space the designer calls “the showstopper.” Comfortable seating options, including a two-seat sofa, a chaise and two klismos side chairs, are arranged for hosting small groups of family and friends. Minimalist shelves, set flush with the wall, flank a limestone fireplace, while a Mission-style buffet does double duty as a bar. “It’s our favorite room,” says the husband.

“We enjoy a cocktail and take in the coastline.”

In the dining area, McDennon created a space that works as well for daily meals as it does for dinner parties.

The wife, who enjoys cooking, knew she wanted something beautiful yet low-maintenance. “Great care was poured into that space,” the designer says, adding that the table has leaves, while the kitchen island doubles as a serving area. She kept the chandelier “light and airy” so as not to

Lee Industries chairs upholstered in Jane Churchill velvet pull up to a table by Swaim, topped with flowers from Laguna Florist, to form the dining area, which is crowned by a chandelier from Visual Comfort & Co.

by Dornbracht. Custom counter stools by The Flemming Group are upholstered with Kravet faux leather. The custom pendant is by Del Mar Lighting Company.

obstruct the ocean view or the visibility into the aesthetically pleasing kitchen, where custom elements include open shelves that flank the range hood and a built-in chrome hutch. But the designer also gave special attention to the sinks. “I separated the functions so dishwashing could be done by the window and near storage, while food prep could be done at the second sink adjacent to the refrigerator and cooktop,” she says.

For the master bedroom, McDennon opted for a palette of whites, silvers and mineral blues, countered by darker finishes. “I tend to lean toward a neutral palette,” the designer says. Sometimes color proves irresistible, though, as in the wife’s boldly blue office and a powder room with handpainted terra-cotta tile. In the master bathroom, she separated the wet room from the vanities with a glass partition, creating a subtle division, and softened the space with a mosaic floor and bespoke wallpaper in the water closet.

Downstairs, the family room opens to the loggia, where the couple likes to relax. Landscape designer Richard King had previously worked on the couple’s Shady Canyon home and interpreted their ideas as naturally as Oatman had sketched the façade. He wove in olive and lemon trees, succulents, herbs and roses. Perimeter plantings blend the home into its hillside setting while providing protection against fires.

Though the clients had a clear vision from the start, they’re still perpetually dazzled, delighted and surprised by the place they now call home. “Every day we appreciate it in some new way,” the husband says.

Recently McDennon had a chance to enjoy the space from a fresh perspective when she stopped by the house.

“As designers, we’re always focused on the creation,” she says, “but with that visit, I got to appreciate the residence as a beautiful whole.”

For the master bedroom, McDennon upholstered a Swaim bed with C&C Milano fabric; she also added a duvet and king shams in Romo fabrics, Euro shams in a Christian Fischbacher textile and a lumbar pillow in a Beacon Hill material, all sewn by The Quilting House. Custom MillCreek Furniture nightstands bookend the bed, over which hangs a chandelier from Fine Art Lamps. Nearby is a work

orn in San Diego and raised in Tijuana, Mexico, Tanya Aguiñiga’s life has been defined by crossing borders, both cultural and physical.

“The issues I deal with in my work vary from the personal to larger issues of globalization,” explains the Los Angeles-based artist. “Sometimes solutions take form in physical objects, other times they’re community actions.”

Growing up in an environment where nothing was wasted, Aguiñiga felt a natural pull toward the resourcefulness and functionality of craft. With an MFA in furniture design and studies in Mexico (back-strap weaving in Chiapas and wool dying in Oaxaca), her work is rooted in tradition, yet it defies conventional classification. Her woven Eames wire chairs soften the familiar midcentury icon into something more tactile and amiable, while her ethereal pieces have led to projects with Gwyneth Paltrow and antiques dealer Joel Chen.

The unifying aspect of Aguiñiga’s diverse designs is fiber, and her favorite material is cotton. These days, she is primarily focused on monumental weavings and site-specific pieces, something she’s had the chance to explore through large-scale hotel projects. Commune Design, with whom Aguiñiga has worked on several Ace Hotel properties, has commissioned a number of her works for its latest Chicago project. “I created a minimalist drawing of the Chicago marina and worked with a Zapotec weaver, Porfirio Gutiérrez, whose family turned my drawing into a gorgeous rug,” she says, adding that she’s also working on a large, translucent curtain for the hotel.

Other recent collaborations include glass lights suspended from knotted and fringed weavings with Los Angeles designer Brendan Ravenhill—a friendship that led to Aguiñiga moving into Ravenhill’s former studio in the luxesource.com / 213

Frogtown neighborhood. The 3,000-squarefoot Quonset hut overlooks the Los Angeles River and offers room to work concurrently with her team on multiple projects: gallery pieces, experiments with Mexican self-drying clay, grant writing, planning community programs and special commissions. She also designs clothing and home accessories. “It’s a way for me to work out ideas for larger projects in a more intimate way,” she says. The pieces, which include rope jewelry and fiber baskets, help create jobs, while sales support her non-profit projects like Art Made Between Opposite Sides (AMBOS), which addresses bi-national identity through artistic collaboration.

And while family has always informed Aguiñiga’s work, she is now deeply influenced by motherhood. “It’s such a universal yet individual experience, where your instincts, memory and emotions are tested each day,” she says. With her husband, Todd, and their 3-year-old daughter, Io, she has created a home she playfully describes as “covered in color,” especially hot pink. The living room, her favorite space, is adorned with artwork from Alaska, Mexico, South America and Southeast Asia, as well as pieces made by family and friends.

It’s a fitting reflection of Aguiñiga’s respect for indigenous communities and her belief in the power of art to inspire understanding.

f real estate is all about location, then the Bel-Air house designer Kristine Paige Kamenstein’s clients found overlooking Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean had everything going for it—with one caveat. “It was too traditional for them,” the designer recalls of the ornate detailing. “It needed to be stripped down and built back up.”

The owners, who were moving from a 1920s Colonial-style home, acted in kind. They sold all their furnishings to start anew, giving Kamenstein free range to infuse the house with their now-modern sensibilities.

First, though, the fireplaces had to go. The house had six of them—“massive fireplaces that wiped out most of the view,” says general contractor Paul McNulty, who worked with architect Tara Moore on revamping the interior architecture. Four of them—a double unit facing the family room and outside terrace, one in the master bedroom and another in the living room—stole the focus from the cityscape and the ocean. McNulty replaced all of them with French doors to clear the sight lines. “Just picking up that view is a nice ‘wow’ factor,” he says.

Kamenstein then swapped out the formal marble floor in the grand foyer, replacing it with the same French oak that runs through the rest of house. She also streamlined the existing Victorian-influenced staircase, banished a bar in the family room and carved out a foyer for the master suite. Another thing, the designer says: “We took out every single light fixture.”

For a more contemporary feel, Kamenstein covered the walls and trim in shades of white and gray and accented spaces with black and white notes, along with bursts of teal and red. “We wanted a palette that didn’t fight the interior architecture but complemented it,” the designer says. That method gave her a clean canvas for grand gestures such as the hand-painted wallcovering by Porter Teleo in the dining room featuring bright splotches of color on an inky background. It grabs the attention of anyone who steps into the adjacent foyer. “Immediately, it’s a talking piece,” the wife says, noting happily that everyone has an opinion. “It’s polarizing!” The designer avoided extraneous details in the rest of the room, where the family spends time playing games and working on puzzles in addition to sharing meals. “Because the wallpaper is so artistic and creative, we wanted clean lines in the furniture and the light fixtures,” she says.

Similar forces are at work in the sloped-ceiling master suite, where Kamenstein used another Porter Teleo pattern on an accent wall behind the custom four-poster bed. “I chose to emphasize the shorter wall in the room because the ceilings are so high. This brought down the scale and helped make the room feel more intimate,” she says of the Rorschach-like design. The ceiling then rises to a peak over the Deco-inspired seating area, done in quiet tones of

black, white and gray and furnished with sinuous antique Czech armchairs and a Jean-Michel Frank-style sofa.

Kamenstein used varying degrees of teal to connect the spaces on the open-plan first floor. A deep-peacock suede on the chairs in the office is visible from the foyer, and a similar shade appears in the mohair covering the living room sofa spied at the end of a barrel-vaulted corridor.

Lighter robin’s-egg wool covers the sectional in the family room, and beyond the French doors, yet another shade covers the accent pillows scattered on outdoor furnishings in the lush gardens, which were the work of Cheryl Kellough of Sage Garden Design, and, later, Alfonso Paez of Paez Landscape. “It’s a progression of hues,” Kamenstein says, so while each space speaks its own language, there’s a smooth transition from one to another. Not to be forgotten, however, is the red element of the design’s palette, which proudly asserts itself in the sea urchin-form pendant light over the kitchen’s breakfast area and in the starburst pattern on the main stair runner.

Once the interiors were complete, Kamenstein called on art consultant Paul Rusconi to add another layer to the rooms. He added to the husband’s small but important collection of black-and-white photography and helped select large statement-making pieces, including Massimo Vitali’s huge photograph of Coney Island in the living room—a nod to the owners’ family outings there when they lived in New York. There’s also a custom, graffitilike painting in the foyer by Mr. Brainwash. “It’s what the house needed, I think, to not be so serious,” the wife says. As for Rusconi’s other selections, which include his own pointillist-style painting of a hummingbird depicted with nail polish on acrylic in the master bedroom, “they were like icing for me,” the wife says, noting that she and her husband had never amassed a serious art collection before. “It was like magic.”

INSPIRATION FOUND

VIVA HAVANA! WHILE DECADES HAVE PASSED SINCE CUBA’S INITIAL TOURISM HEYDAY, THE TIMEWORN YET ELEGANT NATION—STILL RIFE WITH CULTURAL AND EXOTIC ALLURE— IS ONCE AGAIN MAKING WAVES AS THE TOP DESTINATION ON EVERYONE’S TRAVEL LIST. BEREFT OF MODERN INTRUSION, THE COUNTRY’S CAPITAL CITY HAS UNDERGONE LITTLE CHANGE IN EITHER ATMOSPHERE OR ARCHITECTURE THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, AND THE WAY THAT IT CAPTURES A MOMENT IN TIME BRINGS ABOUT A FASCINATING SENSE OF BEAUTY AND INTRIGUE. THE ITEMS FOUND ON THIS PAGE CELEBRATE THE HISTORICAL HERITAGE AND TROPICAL SETTING OF THIS REINVIGORATED ISLAND. Clockwise from top right: Charlotte / $6.90 per tile / cementtileshop.com.
