EDITOR’S LETTER

Clockwise from top left: M64 Pendant by Miguel Milá for Santa & Cole; a vignette from The Coveteur: Private Spaces, Personal Style by Stephanie Mark and Jake Rosenberg; vintage Cartier necklace; Navata fabric by Fortuny; and Petri vase by Elyse Graham.

What should your home give to you? In its purest form, it should impart beauty, honesty, delight, imperfection, and, perhaps, even a little wit or amusement. The environment that you create is essentially an extension of what you value and love, a reflection of your aesthetic sensibility. It’s something that ebbs and evolves over time yet (hopefully!) always feels authentic and true. It seems reasonable then that the space in which you live should be treated as a little haven in this world—a dwelling that makes the everyday seem that much more beautiful.

This issue is largely dedicated to examining the concept of luxury, and our team connected with many artisans and designers who weighed in on the subject. It’s telling that a common thread runs through that collective dialogue: “Each piece has a story to tell.” “Collect things you love and want to have forever.” “The most luxurious of materials are also often the simplest.” “Home is sacred, and the items around us often have an emotional effect, so it is important to put a great deal of care into deciding what you allow into your space.”

Wherever you reside, make home your greatest luxury.

Ingenuity “Much like a fitted suit, we design and build a personal space that will define and reflect the collector and their collection,” shares India Hynes of Vinotemp, a company dedicated to bespoke and luxurious wine storage. From cooling systems to wine cellars to wine furniture, Vinotemp has mastered the craft of storing, preserving and showcasing fine wines. “Modern wine design must move away from a one-dimensional approach and think of the wine room as a multidimensional canvas,” Hynes says. “The static, cluttered, restricted and unchanging wine room of the past must now evolve into a living stage, a place where it is possible to create an environment that alters old beliefs about space and structure and infuse new concepts that reflect the needs of today’s modern wine collector.” Vinotemp, based in Southern California, comprises a dynamic workforce, including woodworkers, cabinetmakers, artisans and designers. All of its work is handcrafted in the U.S. “At Vinotemp, it is not unusual to find a father and son working side by side, ensuring the safe passage of skill, knowledge and craftsmanship to the next generation,” she says.

WHAT DOES THE ART OF INSPIRATION MEAN TO YOUR BRAND?

Inspiration lies at the very core of Vinotemp’s culture. India Hynes, like her father before her, has traveled the world in search of new ideas and inspiration, as well as new technologies and industry trends.

WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF YOUR FIRM?

Vinotemp is a 30-year-old family business. Founder Francis Ravel was born in Casablanca, French Morocco, fought with the French Foreign Legion and landed in Hollywood as a leading man. After a lengthy movie career, Ravel found his passion of making and selling his own wine. This simple turn of fate led to the need to store his collection.

DESCRIBE THE CRAFTSMANSHIP BEHIND YOUR BRAND.

Vinotemp’s loyal workforce is bound together by a single thought: to create a product that will last for generations.

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

ALANNA HALE

Photographer / San Francisco

TATE GUNNERSON Writer / Chicago

Memorable Luxe interview: While every single interview is fascinating in its own way, my conversation with the multifaceted Eric J. Nordstrom of Urban Remains in Chicago stands out. He left behind a career in scientific research to pursue his passion for history, architecture and salvage and has since amassed a significant collection of pieces. Is there a particular writer whose work has had an influence on you? Although I have an enduring appreciation for urban life and design of all kinds, Henry David Thoreau’s emphasis on nature and simplicity resonates with me more and more as the years go by. Who is the most interesting person you’ve ever met? Artist and potter Alessio Tasca. For decades, he created incredible pieces out of his rustic studio in the countryside just outside of Vicenza, Italy. What a life he’s lived! If I weren’t a writer, I would…

Run a small bed-and-breakfast that would consist of stylish tiny homes, yurts and tree houses on a peaceful lake in the country. I’d also love to make a documentary at some point.

KARYN MILLET Photographer / Los Angeles My biggest creative influences come from… My travels. From Cuba to the Cotswolds in England, this year has been full of visual inspiration for design, color, light, composition and mood.

I’m forever planning my next trip. Whose work has impacted you the most? My great-great-uncle, Francis Davis Millet. He was a famous artist who made me realize that art can be a career if you set your mind to it. He was last seen helping women and children into lifeboats off the Titanic, where he perished. What type of design inspires you?

I love traditional with a twist. With architecture, I’m a big fan of the classics—Federal, Cape Cod and Spanish. I’m also intrigued by unexpected colors and fresh designs in interiors.

MINDY PANTIEL Writer / Colorado What do you find most enjoyable about the design industry? I like the ongoing integration of the art world into interior design. And I don’t mean finding art to match a sofa, but rather designers recognizing that allowing art to make its own statement only enhances and elevates a home’s interiors. Favorite element of design: Architecture. I am forever in awe of a great architect’s ability to shape a building and create spaces that are not only livable but also have a context. As a consequence, I like furnishings and accessories that make strong architectural statements. Most memorable Luxe interview: I spoke with a homeowner who shared that her husband had fallen in love with an enormous boulder weighing several tons on their property. So, as a birthday present, the wife arranged for a crane to move it near the front door so he could see it every day. The architecture and design of the house were already wonderful, but this was a reminder that the best stories (and homes) involve this kind of personal touch.

What is the best career advice you’ve received? “You don’t have to like it, but you should be proud of it.” It’s a way of saying that the path or experience isn’t always easy or fun, but it’s worth the fight to create great work in the end.

And, while that uncomfortable place may sometimes be unpleasant, it’s also necessary. Role models: Stephen Shipps and Maria Koundoura, professors at Emerson College in Boston. They are both passionate, brilliant, patient and kind. Favorite Luxe shoot: Blacksmith Daniel Hopper was so much fun to work with, but with their humor and charm, Neil and Alix Curry of The Willow Farm are pretty hard to beat. Top three things on your design wish list: I would love to purchase a Hans Wegner Peacock chair, install flamingo wallpaper in my bathroom, and own a vintage caramel-colored Chesterfield sofa.

LUXURY in the DETAILS A LOOK AT LUXURY WITH HANDS-ON CREATIVES WHO ARE POWERING THE GROWING MAKERS-MATTER REVOLUTION. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

Luxury has a million different meanings and permutations, a concept as unique as a fingerprint to each individual person: a warm cup of coffee on a chilly, overcast morning; the cool thrill of slipping into a freshly made bed with silk sheets; a day off with no obligations or competition for the television remote. One thing these definitions, and the countless others weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard while working on this issue, have in common, though, is that they all actively engage the senses. The greatest luxuries then are the things that inspire joy by the way they look, feel, smell, sound or tasteâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;many of which exist inside the home and have transcended their supporting roles in everyday life (think a bench, a sconce, a pillow) to take center stage due to the attention their makers have given to their creations. On the following pages, we talk to the artists, designers and craftspeople responsible for both breaking and making the mold and for ensuring even the smallest details feel like priceless treasures.

RADAR / COMMENTARY

“I don’t like trendy design; although, it’s essential to keep up with changing styles. When I design textiles, I like to create things that are timeless and can work in various styles of homes—things that can be appreciated decade after decade.”

–MILI SULEMAN, KUFRILIFEFABRICS.COM

“Don’t bring it home unless you plan on living with it indefinitely. There’s so much disposability in consumer culture.

Instead, collect things you love and want to have forever. Search for things that retain their value even when they’re well-used, worn or patinated.”

–CODY HOYT, CODYHOYT.COM

I LOVE WORKING WITH WOOD. IT HAS SO MUCH CHARACTER ; EACH PIECE HAS A STORY TO TELL AND FEELS ALIVE TO ME. A LOT OF TIMES I EVEN SPECIFICALLY LOOK FOR SLABS WITH IMPERFECTIONS, WHICH WE THEN PATCH UP IN UNIQUE WAYS.” –FLORIAN ROEPER, STUDIOROEPER.COM

Clockwise from top right: Elyse Graham’s Petri vase; Pamela Sunday’s Sprocket sculpture; and Cody Hoyt’s Oblique vessel.

“The value in a handcrafted piece is the human connection.

The digital age has made our world smaller and brought us together but left us longing for direct personal contact.

I think there is an inherent comfort in owning a piece, which is made by hand, that addresses that void.”

–ELYSE GRAHAM, ELYSEGRAHAM.COM

“Luxury is beauty and comfort combined. I have come to love a Martin Margiela smock that is threadbare from years of wear. My husband purchased it more than 20 years ago.

When I put it on, I feel more like myself.”

–PAMELA SUNDAY, PAMELASUNDAY.COM

“I am blown away by the work of artist Daniel Brush. His level of commitment, his total focus, his rabid attention to detail and his blend of the intellectual and the physical are just so impressive. I find myself on the verge of almost giving up when I see his work.”

RADAR / COMMENTARY

“I’m continually impressed by how much a beautiful cup, the right bowl, a wellmade rug, a crafted table or an inspiring piece of art can move me. I never imagined the profound pleasure that someone else’s creativity could bring me each day.”

THE MOST LUXURIOUS OF MATERIALS ARE ALSO OFTEN THE SIMPLEST, WHETHER IT’S CLAY, WOOD, STONE OR NATURAL FIBERS. WOOD, IN PARTICULAR, IS SACRED TO OUR SURVIVAL, WITH TREES THEMSELVES OFTEN SERVING AS MARKERS OF THE PASSING OF TIME.”

–RUTH FRANCES GREENBERG, RUTHFRANCESGREENBERG.COM

“We’re compelled to create by nature; it’s a Zen state that’s hard to match and innate in all of us. I aim to make modern heirlooms and do work that is meant to be handled and not put on a pedestal. I often wonder where my pieces end up living and hope that they’re being passed down generationally as cherished objects.”

“We love the thought that our pieces could be passed down through generations. We put a lot of effort into creating solid, wellconstructed objects. We also use the best materials that we feel are correct for each individual design and are compelled to make each piece as good as it can be.”

–JAMEY GARZA, GARZAMARFA.COM

–TUCKER ROBBINS, TUCKERROBBINS.COM

“The ethos of handcrafted work is incomparable to that of mass-market products. Our work comes from a place of deliberation over design, aesthetic, structure, form and function. Each piece is handmade to order, so we know for whom and for what space we’re making it.”

–DAVID WEEKS, DAVIDWEEKSSTUDIO.COM

RADAR / COMMENTARY

“Every painting is a struggle between what you want it to be and what the painting wants to be.

Most of the time, painting is wrestling, but every once in a while, something unexpected happens— something beyond what I’ve planned or intended.”

–STELLA MARIA BAER, STELLAMARIABAER.COM

“Luxuries, to me, are things that create ‘wow’ moments in our days—like when you sink into a down sofa and have no desire to be anywhere else or when you experience the pleasure of running your hands across the top of a table made from an exquisite, oneof-a-kind piece of wood that’s been skillfully finished to perfection.”

–CATALINA ECHAVARRIA, CEUSTUDIO.COM

From top: The Pivot chandelier by Brendan Ravenhill; CEU Studio’s handwoven Reed bed.

MY PROCESS IS NOT LUXURIOUS AT ALL. THERE HAS BEEN BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS THAT HAVE GONE INTO MANY OF THE THINGS THAT I HAVE CREATED—A LOT OF BAD BEFORE YOU GET TO THE GOOD—BUT I CAN’T IMAGINE NOT DOING IT. THE PROCESS BRINGS ME SO MUCH JOY.” –MEGAN ADAMS BROOKS, MEGANADAMSBROOKS.COM

“If you’re going to splurge on anything, let it be lighting— it has the greatest ability to transform a space. No matter how nice the objects in a particular room are, if the lighting’s not right, you’re not going to spend as much time there. Beyond how it looks, too, be sure to examine what kind of light it casts.”

–BRENDAN RAVENHILL, BRENDANRAVENHILL.COM

“When creating something that people will one day bring into their homes, I always try to subscribe to Shaker design philosophy: Don’t make something unless it is necessary and useful.

But if it is both necessary and useful, don’t forget to make it beautiful.”

–SEEMA KRISH, SEEMAKRISH.COM

“We absolutely keep the idea of collecting in mind when making things.

We want to create pieces that can be preserved and last for multiple generations. We try to make art that is immersive and made by multiple artists, and we like the fact that furniture and usable art can be hard to swallow as an art form.”

RADAR / BEHIND THE BRAND

Everything Is Illuminated DESIGNER JONATHAN BROWNING USES HIS PASSION FOR HISTORY AND AGELESS STYLE TO CREATE LIGHTING THAT WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME. WRITTEN BY SHANNON SHARPE PORTRAIT BY ALANNA HALE

Change in approach: When I first started, I was doing everything by hand, but I quickly discovered that my designs would have to be made in a foundry because they were too complex. I only work with the best of the best: Cirecast.

Material matters: For the first seven years, we used cast bronze almost exclusively, but as our

SCONCE PHOTO: GRANT PETERSON.

When Jonathan Browning founded his eponymous company in 2003, he was positive of one thing: He was going to make the best lighting in the industry.

“I wanted to create pieces that would outlast the people that bought them,” he says.

Through designing each item by hand, using the best quality materials and producers, and taking a new approach to old ideas, Browning has proven that being the best isn’t about labels, but about commitment. In his latest offering, the Montalembert sconce, the designer shows us thoughtfulness once again with a machined-byhand lamp with a hand-polished solid-brass base and a hand-carved and polished lead-crystal shade.

“Luxury is about authenticity,” says Browning. “It is about respecting your materials and deferring to what your design is trying to say and do. It’s about doing the right thing over the easy thing.”

Jonathan Browning in his San Francisco headquarters next to the Dornstab floor lamp, originally designed by J.T. Kalmar and re-edited by Browning. His Montalembert sconce is shown below, left.

repertoire expanded, we introduced brass and then lead crystal. I’d always wanted to use lead crystal because it’s such a beautiful alternative to glass.

Crème de la crème: My passion has always been industrial design, but I’m also a big fan of French Beaux Arts. The French essentially studied every element of classical design, learning the rules so that they could break them and introduce something the world had never seen.

Luxury suite: To me, Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont is the height of luxury. It’s incredible to go into a room that was so beautifully designed in the 1920s and that has been restored but not fussed over. It is like stepping into an old photograph.

Hero worship: Otto Wagner gave voice to industrial design as a decorative language. I also admire Stanford White, who was really the first decorator; he would bring architectural elements from Italy and France and build whole rooms for them. Finally, I consider Louis Comfort Tiffany a genius of massively misunderstood proportion.

He is often dismissed as being a little known stained-glassed window and lamp designer, which is insane.

Beauty statement: The construction of the Montalembert sconce is what gives it its beauty.

The electrical work flows through the brass tube, curving downward and back up, never touching the crystal shade; the armature is just there to cradle the crystal. The result is like sculpture.

AT ANN SACKS, ART, CRAFT AND A DOSE OF SCIENCE MEET TO CREATE THE COMPANY’S SIGNATURE LINE OF TILES. WRITTEN BY LISA BINGHAM DEWART

These days, the transformation of an Ann Sacks tile from rough sketch to finished tile takes place in a sprawling Portland, Oregon, factory. However, the company’s dedication to craft, along with some of the same kilns, remains the same as it did nearly a quarter century ago when the founder of the eponymous company decided to add to her line of tile imported from Mexico with her own signature collection.

The story continues in a quiet corner of the factory. There, a skilled craftsman—who goes by Gerbert—translates ideas conceived

by Ann Sacks’ in-house design team and by notable collaborating designers, such as Robert

Kuo, Kelly Wearstler and Laura Kirar, into the first stages of a new tile addition to the core Made by Ann Sacks collection. “He’s a true artist,” says DeeDee Gundberg, director of product development. “He takes the design from concept to drawing to understand the repeat before transitioning it to a wax model.”

From there, Gundberg and her colleagues tweak the design and make changes. “Maybe it’s just softening a corner,” says Justin Burgin, team leader of finished goods, or, “refining a line to make it slightly thinner.” Then, a wax model gets made to create a rubber positive, which in turn is used to create the mold. Finally,

Ann Sacks’ signature line of earthenware and stoneware tiles, the Made

by Ann Sacks collection, offers a rainbow of colors and a mind-boggling assortment of textures, shapes and sizes.

the prototype is fired and ready for glazing. It’s a critical step, since glazes can behave differently.

And, notes Burgin, “Things stand out more when glazed, so it’s critical to see if any flaws appear.”

Once the design is complete, the tile is ready to be put into production, joining a dizzying array of colors (over 150!) and shapes from hexagons, arabesques and scallops to the ever-popular subway tile, not to mention textures, including the Ann Sacks Modern Ribbed tiles, a recent introduction. “It’s extremely important we stay relevant,” says Gundberg. The company produces both earthenware and stoneware designs from locally sourced clay. Earthenware, the first type of

tile the company produced, allows for solid glossy or matte glazes, while the stoneware body lends itself to more decorative shapes.

For basic shapes, production starts when the wet clay goes through an extruder, where it’s flattened and then cut into slugs before being loaded into presses to make specific shapes. For some tiles, including all the stoneware offerings, the designs are stamped by hand. Afterward, the tiles spend 12 to 15 hours drying before they’re ready to be biscuit-fired in the continuous kiln—a hulking piece of machinery that takes the tile up to 1,976 degrees Fahrenheit and back to room temperature in as little as 80 minutes. Then, it’s

onto the glazing area, where the pieces are either glazed on the line or hand-sprayed.

Each tile in the Made by Ann Sacks collection is touched by at least seven people during its transformation. Burgin is quick to point out that a little piece of everyone involved in the production goes into the finished product. “They’re incredibly passionate about it,” he says. During factory tours, design lovers see that firsthand.

“They’re blown away by the handmade process, the artisanal quality and the craftsmanship they see,” says Gundberg. “The story is extremely important to tell, so they understand what went into the making of that tile.”

RADAR / DEBUT

Best part about working with Theodore Alexander on your new collection, Califolio?

The first thing the team at Theodore Alexander told me when we began to work together was “design like you have no constraints,” and I immediately understood why. Their capabilities are endless; they have their own foundry and handle their own finishing and leather fabrication. It allowed me to create exactly what I wanted: a large, ambitious collection (of over 75 pieces!) with a real wabi-sabi flavor and plenty of interesting textures and finishes.

Share your inspiration for the collection.

The size of the collection enabled me to combine a lot of the different things I’m influenced by: organic design and materials, as well as American Art Deco modernism.

WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

I also wanted to create a dialogue here that speaks to Los Angeles’ eclecticism, to the way we celebrate the melting pot of cultures that make up our community and how we’ve learned to mix both high and low, elegance and simplicity in our homes.

Do you have a favorite piece?

They’re all special to me, but I’m especially proud of the work we did on the Flint table (shown). To bring that piece to life, we had to work with Theodore Alexander to add new finishes and techniques to its repertoire. For example, for the handsome oak tabletop, we designed a finish called Sandalwood for a rich, honey color; then, to take it even further, we put it through a wire-brushing process before hitting it with white cerused wax and a very, very fine steel wood for a satin finish.

It also has a beautiful base.

Yes! The Flint table also features another new finish called Foundry, a lovely metallic that gives the base the illusion of being cast in bronze.

In reality, the base is fabricated resin, which makes it easier to render its river rock-shaped cutouts. I’ve always been attracted to anything curvilinear or kidney-shaped. These silhouettes, popular in the 1940s through ’60s, are some of my favorite things from that period of modernism.

Dream meal to serve on this table?

A fantastic L.A.-inspired lunch with fresh, homemade heirloom tomato salsa with chipotle peppers, vegetarian tacos with avocado and peppers, and delicious BBQ shrimp skewers. It’s a great example of what entertaining in California is all about: flavor and quality and health. Just don’t forget the gluten-free corn tortillas!

Brazilian architect André Piva, who is responsible for all of the Orlean showrooms, led the design team. What makes Orlean unique? We’re constantly searching for the most innovative and trendsetting products. This year’s breakthrough is an incredible wallpaper collection made only of natural, sustainable and raw materials. Additionally, we offer an exclusive loyalty program called Visionaire that we have brought with us to the United States, in which we offer an international trip to our top partners to see and be inspired by great design; this year, we will be hosting in Rome! orlean.com 164 / LUXESOURCE.COM

COLLABORATION LUALDI X PIERO LISSONI

Italian door manufacturer Lualdi, celebrated for its cutting-edge design and commitment to resourceful living, has teamed up with Italian designer Piero Lissoni on a new line of tailor-made sliding and leaved doors. The collection expresses a sharp, modern aesthetic, playing with a combination of translucent glass and polished metal. From personalized steel handles, imagined by Lissoni, to transparent sliding doors perfect for showcasing eclectic trinkets, the resulting products are a study in contrasts: an impressive juxtaposition of light and dark, hard and soft, modern and classic. Our favorite is the collection’s L7 door (shown), which satisfies form and function with its combination of warm bronze and cool glass—a welcome statement piece in any home. lualdiporte.com

THE INSIDER BAMA LUTES DEAL

With over 42,000 cultural offerings dotting Palm Beach’s social calendar each year, it’s no surprise fans of and guests to the stylish South Florida enclave need a little help deciding where to go and what to do. Luckily, the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County has no problem playing social director with help from the ineffable Bama Lutes Deal, Ph.D. Appointed the organization’s first official Cultural Concierge last year, Lutes Deal, an arts expert and musicologist, uses her intimate knowledge of the area’s hottest tickets—from theater to gallery showings and everything in between—to craft custom, complimentary itineraries for out-of-towners.

Here, we get her to share some of her current favorite can’t-miss attractions. palmbeachculture.com

RITZ-CARLTON

The tony Ritz-Carlton will be capitalizing on Miami’s ever-growing arts scene with the brand’s newest Miami Beach residential project. Situated on the shores of the exclusive Surprise Lake, the property will play host to 111 condominium residences and 15 stand-alone villas, priced to over $40 million. While each home will be equipped with custom Boffi kitchens and baths and top-of-the-line finishes, the real luxuries are saved for the services, activities and spaces located throughout the property’s 7-plus acres, such as the world’s first residential art studio, which will encourage residents to tap their creativity through sculpture, painting, ceramics, beadwork and more. The development also includes on-site amenities like a fully stocked library, rooftop pool deck and meditation garden. And if that doesn’t keep residents amused, there will also be a private fitness center, waterfront yoga and unlimited access to a private 40-foot VanDutch day yacht as well as concierge services managed through the Ritz-Carlton. theresidencesmiamibeach.com

I can’t get enough of… Some of our wonderful local artists here in South Florida. Incredible talents like Erin Fromkes and Alyssa di Edwardo, for example, are worth keeping an eye on. Their artistic abilities have been recognized by the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County time and time again, and for good reason.

Don’t pass up: The vibrant theater scene in Palm Beach County, especially Louis Tyrell’s Theatre Lab at FAU. It’s a wonderful incubator of new works for the American stage. There’s always something both new and modern and old and classic there—something for everyone.

DATE BOOK LETITIA ELIZABETH

If Miami-based designer Letitia Elizabeth could offer one piece of advice to the enthusiastic followers of her budding homewares and textile business, it would be this: Kick off your shoes. It is this casual, anything-goes ethos that is the foundation of her online shop with all of its environmentally friendly, handcrafted offerings in everything from pillows and bedding to tableware and art. “This is a brand for women like me,” says Elizabeth. “It’s taken years, but finally, I have come to realize that it’s the smallest things that inspire and enrich the everyday, whether it be an ornately embellished set of greeting cards, an ethereal maxi dress or a plush embroidered throw pillow on display in a vintage chair.” Below, she shares her favorites stops for fun, fashion and design in her stomping grounds of Miami. letitiaelizabeth.com 9 a.m. You absolutely cannot start your day without a Verano Fresh smoothie from the stunningly designed Jugofresh. Then, take a quick jaunt down the street to Zak the Baker for its delicious pastries or steel-cut oat porridge topped with maple walnuts and banana.

10 a.m. While you’re in the area, sashay over to Wynwood Walls and be prepared to take a thousand pictures. Keep your eyes peeled, because you cannot miss Wynwood Letterpress directly across from Jugofresh. It has hands-down the best selection of small local artisan goods.

11 a.m. Check out Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams; then, it’s off to One of a Kind for classic-meetsmodern home furniture design.

2 p.m. It’s a good time to unwind, so stop in to rest at O Cinema for a matinee showing. O is a rebellious independent cinema, and you might just rub elbows with local artists, directors or someone to accompany you for the rest of the day.

3 p.m. If you’re not watching the film, rent a bike from our city’s amazing new local bike-share program and cruise through the avenues.

4 p.m. For a wonderfully curated selection, you absolutely must check out Nomad Tribe, which is an ethical fashion marketplace for all brands that is about creating a positive social impact. Stop by Caveat for custom-made jeans that would rival any pair coming out of the Italian ateliers.

12 p.m. Time to munch on some amazing avocado toast from Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink. If that doesn’t float your boat, try the duck rillette and deviled eggs. Absolutely delicious!

5 p.m. Time to mix it up with a bit of nature among this concrete jungle. If you want to enter a world unlike any other, Plant the Future is a mustsee! The formations and vision of Paloma Teppa are unlike anything I’ve ever seen.

1 p.m. It’s 5:00 somewhere! Squeeze in some day-drinking at Brick, where its vibrancy and colorful personas are perfectly blended together.

After, head to Bossa gallery for an impressive collection of Brazilian artworks. Or, indulge in a relaxing urban retreat by stepping inside Eména Spa.

6 p.m. End the evening with it-girl yoga guru Amy Dannheim at Greenmonkey in Miami Beach.

Break a sweat and jet off to Mignonette for supper where you can get a real taste of South Florida. Burn the calories by having a light night stroll with Art Walk, the city’s most popular public event, which takes place every second Saturday.

Inspiration is just one service we offer.

Preface: A biography of celebrated photographer, set designer and artist Sir Cecil Beaton that explores his dynamic personality through his interiors and private life.

FASHION DESIGNER & FOUNDER HEROINESPORT.COM

Signature: Kate Spade has really revolutionized the accessory business, and the brand continues to do so with other categories that help shape the well-lived lifestyle. Material: Velvet and leather have a tendency to be soft and sexy; in this case, they cause an understated juxtaposition with the structural and industrial brass legs.

Fashion x Interiors: I believe that the definition of luxury changes from time to time. For now, the focus is more about comfort, ease and access in both fashion and interiors—a quiet luxury à la well-crafted and beautifully designed pieces.

Necessary Extravagance: However you define luxury, bring it about as often as you can.

Here, buttery leather and blush cut velvet keep the seats au courant, while the cut of the legs adds an unexpected edge, proving that the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature ethos is sure to always keep us on our toes.

And that is exactly what Jean-Louis Deniot intended to do with this striking design made of brass and alabaster. Fashioning an organic, naturalistic shape, the French design luminary left the product open to interpretation: Is it a shell encasing a pearl or a peacock feather?

Either way, this sculptural piece provokes conversation and brightens any space it inhabits.

JONATHAN MEIZLER

FASHION DESIGNER & FOUNDER TITLEOFWORK.COM

Heritage: Baker’s craftsmanship has been highly regarded from its inception, and to this day, the quality stands up to its name. Material: I am intrigued by the artful contrasts in Deniot’s design—the hard and soft, the smooth and the liquid, the metallic and the organic; together, they strike a beautiful balance and create harmony. Recall: A striking piece like Deniot’s anchors a room or creates a conversation. It evokes a memory, dream or inspiration. To me, it feels a little Deco. Necessary Extravagance: Luxury is all about dreaming. It’s being able to afford to have the time to grasp the unnecessary.

Time is our biggest luxury. Fashion x Interiors: If you don’t need it, it’s luxury, and that applies across any category.

HAYDEN LASHER HANDBAG DESIGNER HAYDENLASHER.COM

Signature: Celerie Kemble’s designs are fresh yet traditional, and many of her pieces feel as if they could have been handed down through generations— the perfect combination of contemporary and nostalgia. Details: These boxes epitomize luxury because they don’t just serve a purpose; they are also special and artistic. The devil is in the details, and there is no better way to tie a space together than with the accessories. Recall: They remind me of a box my grandmother used to keep in her library that was full of matchbooks she collected from her travels around the world. Composition: The way the boxes are enveloped by de Le Cuona’s lush linen makes it feel like you have just unwrapped a gift. Fashion x Interiors: Kemble’s mixture of rattan and brass reads as smart, distinctive and tailored—a winning combination in all facets of design.

TREASURE TROVE THE PIECE: Rattan & Brass Boxes THE DESIGNER: Celerie Kemble FIND IT: maitland-smith.com THE INSPIRATION: It’s no question that Celerie Kemble is a fan-favorite, and her chic and livable interiors have effortlessly translated into an accessories line with Maitland-Smith. Case in point: these rattan and brass boxes, envisaged with a modern blend of natural materials and a glimmer of glamour—an adored Kemble trademark.

MARKET / SPOTLIGHT

GREAT HEIGHTS THE PIECE: Fulcrum Candlesticks THE DESIGNER: Lee Broom FIND IT: leebroom.com THE INSPIRATION: Once again, Lee Broom takes us to another level with his just-the-right-amount-of-edge Fulcrum candlesticks.

Exploring the capabilities of pivots and supports, Broom employed solid Carrara marble to put his ideas into practice. Considering the products’ colossal and sculptural presence, one is easily reminded that these are indeed not your grandmother’s candlesticks.

KARLA GALLARDO, COFOUNDER & CEO SHILPA SHAH, COFOUNDER & CXO CUYANA.COM

Detail: Luxury is in the details, and Lee Broom’s candlesticks have been carefully conceptualized; his vision and modernity are very in-line with the Cuyana aesthetic. Material: Marble is so rich and transcendent yet its natural texture commands attention in a subtly powerful way. Fashion x Interiors: The two run parallel in that rich materials and beautiful craftsmanship are of equal importance. Incorporating these precious finds into your home— and closet—can make the everyday feel elevated. Timelessness: It’s important to bring the customer back to the essence of a product through its materials and design. To invest in luxury is to invest in something that will bring you comfort and gratification for years to come.

CUTTING EDGE THE PIECE: Alchemy Table THE DESIGNERS: Lauren Larson and Christian Swafford FIND IT: material-lust.com THE INSPIRATION: The self-described “dark horses of design” enamor us with the latest addition to their Geometry is God collection: the Alchemy table. In maintaining a keen focus on their Solitarian design philosophy and distinct aesthetic, this piece—driven by the alchemical symbolism for air, earth, fire and water—personifies the duo’s fascination and commitment to ancient symbols and a proclivity to reinterpret these markings in contemporary and striking ways.

LELA ROSE

FASHION DESIGNER LELAROSE.COM

Continuity: Lauren and Christian have such a strong aesthetic that is present in really every piece they design—I always respect a dedication to an artistic ideal. Material: Brass, both polished and brushed (as in this case), always screams luxury to me. Recall: The calculated proportions and mixed-metal finishes are reminiscent of the Cubism period. Composition: I love the rough yet lavish vibe of the background textile, which especially complements the brilliant polish and high design of the Alchemy table. Evolution: I don’t think that luxury and formality are mutually exclusive. I want to feel luxurious in what I wear, the quality of it, how it fits the body; similarly, I want to cultivate pieces for my home that evoke that same feeling. Big or small, whether you wear it or just admire it, luxury goods bring you joy.

THE MARK OF THE MAKER

CRAFTSMANSHIP

IN THE 21 CENTURY ST

Technology has influenced and affected every industry in design—its ubiquity has forced even the most ardent of purists to adapt in one way or another. But simply adapting is not enough: The survival of today’s leading manufacturers of luxury, bespoke goods has been contingent upon their ability to find an equilibrium between handmade and high-tech. “The Mark of the Maker” takes a look inside some of the most respected companies in their fields, recognized for their painstakingly intricate building processes and commitment to pre-modern artisanal forms of production.

THE MARK OF THE MAKER

SUN VALLEY BRONZE When Bob and Debbie Commons started Sun Valley Bronze over 20 years ago near the resort town of Sun Valley, Idaho, the goal was to create something better, more durable and with greater integrity than what was already on the market. Bob was in the high-end residential building industry, and Debbie was drafting architectural plans; they observed a void in the market when it came to the finish details for high-end residences. Sun Valley Bronze succeeded in fulfilling its objectives and has grown into a leading manufacturer of fine architectural hardware. A factor that has propelled the company to the upper echelon of decorative hardware is its ability to adapt to change in the marketplace, from design preferences to technological advances in conceptualization and building. “When Sun Valley Bronze first started, all patterns were made in a wood shop by hand. Today, we are using state-of-the-art 3-D modeling software and CNC milling machines that are all manufactured in California at the Haas CNC factory. We collaborate with Boise State University to realize some of our more complicated designs with 3-D printing technology,” Bob explains. Sun Valley Bronze’s work, known for its simple, clean and timeless qualities, is driven by ergonomics and process. “Service and quality are the most important parts of our company,” he says. “We are focused on making products we are proud of, crafted of the highest quality materials and made in the U.S., and we back it up with friendly, prompt and honest service.”

“

Our clients are looking for one-ofa-kind products designed to last.

INSIDE SUN VALLEY BRONZE Fresh + favorite collections. Sun Valley Bronze is excited to introduce its new lighting collection, including the freestanding Otto lamp. A favorite of Bob’s is the patented adjustable ball-bearing hinge, which is a resounding success because it works so flawlessly. Provenance. Sun Valley Bronze designs and manufactures all of its products proudly in the U.S. Newly acquired. Sun Valley Bronze purchased Reveal Designs, which manufactures exceptional modern hardware, all designed by its worldrenowned design partners. Artistic update.

Sun Valley Bronze is now casting brass in addition to its white and silicon bronze. Fun family fact. The lock key cover was designed by the Commons’ son Josh. He designed it to fit his thumbprints so the cover could easily be pushed from side to side. That small interaction with the hardware guided his process and is why the key cover has the unique ridge in the face of the design.

1. Assembly. Sun Valley Bronze hardware assembly includes stainless steel components and Teflon-coated springs for flawless function and to ensure longevity in humid or coastal climates.

2. Casting. The furnace heats the bronze to a pouring temperature of 2250° Fahrenheit.

LEE INDUSTRIES

DESIGN DIALOGUE LEE INDUSTRIES GIVES READERS INSIGHT INTO THE COMPANY’S SUSTAINABLE AND ARTISTIC INFLUENCES Do you have a design process?

If so, what is it?

When LEE envisions new designs for upholstery, it is the refinement of the design that makes our product unique. The details make the difference in our products—the contour of a leg, the seaming of a cushion, the grain of the wood, the curvature of the silhouette, the geometric precision of a frame, the hand tufting of the back—these become the stars of the show.

Have your practices changed to keep up with new technologies?

Absolutely! In manufacturing, all of our products are drawn in CAD, and our vendors must be able to receive all files in CAD, as well.

Our cutting is done on automated cutters with talented operators making sure to achieve the highest yield of any fabric or leather used.

LEE Industries began in 1969 in a small workshop in North Carolina. From the beginning, the ambition of founders Bill and Dottie Coley was to manufacture quality, Americanmade furniture that they would use in their own home. Good fortune came in finding skilled craftspeople to create beautiful and enduring pieces. LEE has always been focused on providing custom designs and maintaining a high-quality standard in its products.

For 47 years, creating quality home furnishings, building with pride and using sustainable practices has resulted in LEE earning Gold Exemplary Recognition from the Sustainable Furnishings Council. LEE is the only upholstery manufacturer to earn this recognition. It has successfully completed a two-year process of evaluation and auditing in operations, production and outreach in its community. LEE has maintained its reputation in the furniture industry by creating quality furniture, caring for the communities that build and sell its product and caring for the environment. Everyone can sit back and relax knowing LEE is good as gold!

What types of craftspeople/artisans comprise your firm?

The average tenure of an associate at LEE Industries is 15 years. This is a highly skilled workforce, and it shows through their dedication and commitment to our company.

It has been our goal and mission to be a leader in manufacturing environmentally friendly products for the past 47 years.

THE MARK OF THE MAKER

The hallmark of Hubbardton Forge lighting is design that is graceful and unembellished, allowing the materials and forms to speak for themselves.

HUBBARDTON FORGE

”

A dynamic and diverse mélange of creative talent converges at the Hubbardton Forge headquarters in Castleton, Vermont, where one-of-a-kind, sculptural lighting is brought to life through deft craftsmanship and ingenuity. A team of more than 225 designers, artisans, metal crafters, welders, production staff members and customer service professionals contributes to Hubbardton Forge’s long-standing success and designation as one of the U.S.’s most esteemed lighting manufacturers. In addition to its exclusively made-in-America practices, Hubbardton Forge is unwavering in its use of quality materials and artful, handcreated building methodologies. “At Hubbardton Forge, we are designers and makers; each piece is made to order, whether a single piece or every corridor of a hotel,” explains David Kitts, Design Director of the company. “Each fixture will have its own personality brought forth from the fires of the forge.” Blending the time-honored with the avant-garde, Hubbardton Forge continues to find equilibrium in a technologically driven marketplace.

“We still use the hammer and anvil on some designs, but technology, especially LEDs, has had a major impact on our practices. The light source is no longer secondary in the design development process but is now often the driver in the design,” Kitts says. “Working with a local LED manufacturer, we’re able to do things we never thought possible. We can bend the lighting element to become an integral part of a fixture’s sculpture, or we can suspend the metal sculpture and envelop it with a wash of up/down light from an LED light guide platform that is part of its forged steel frame.”

THE DESIGN PROCESS Who: The designers at Hubbardton Forge come from backgrounds in architecture, engineering and even jewelry design. They possess a wealth of knowledge and a deep respect for all art forms.

What: Designers work individually and as a team, brainstorming, sketching, meeting and critiquing, often pushing themselves and each other to create designs that celebrate form, materials and artistry that can only be achieved through handcrafted design.

Where: American-made, in Castleton, Vermont.

Why: To merge “art and illumination.”

“Given the choice, don’t we want our lives to be illuminated artfully throughout the day?” asks Hubbardton Forge’s V.P. of Marketing, Jeanne-Marie Gand.

DACOR

Innovation and heritage are both honored in the creation and execution of DACOR-made appliances. DACOR (Distinctive Appliance CORporation) was incorporated in 1965 in Los Angeles; however, its origins date back to the Stananthony Corp., established in 1948 by Stan and Anthony Joseph. The company was founded on the credo of “innovations that matter,” which was reflected in its first product: a complete self-contained kitchen ventilation hood system for the high-end residential market. This credo is still woven into DACOR’s corporate ethos and can be seen in the many industry firsts credited to the brand. “We don’t innovate to be fashionable,” says Michael West, director of marketing at DACOR. “We only pursue innovations that will matter and make a tangible difference to the home chef. A great example is the DACOR iQ product that integrates a computer tablet into the oven operation.” Founded and based in California, DACOR finds inspiration in the design, technological, educational and entrepreneurial subcultures that distinguish the state and seeks influence and insight from other industries and leading professionals in their field.

“DACOR’s design team pays attention to technology changes, such as induction cooking and control methods like integrating Android tablets for better performance and usability.

DACOR taps outside talent such as BMW Designworks USA and the chefs at Le Cordon Bleu (who have tested and recommended our cooking products) to improve its offerings to keep them cutting-edge,” West explains.

BERNHARDT Bernhardt-built: It’s a legacy that honors hundreds of beautifully made furnishings crafted over a century. One of the largest family-owned companies in the country, Bernhardt is led today by the fourth generation of Bernhardts, enabling the firm’s rich history to live on through a deeply committed familial leadership. From its earliest days, furniture making has been an artisanal skill, passed down from generation to generation. Bernhardt honors the origins of the craft—as do its employees. “Over the 127 years we’ve been in business, generations of artisans have passed their expertise on to the next, while incorporating new technologies and innovative ways of making furniture,” shares Alex Bernhardt Jr., Bernhardt’s CEO and president. “The creativity, ingenuity and dedication of countless fathers and mothers, sons and daughters and husbands and wives form the bedrock of our company.”

Founded in 1889 by John Mathias Bernhardt, Alex Bernhardt Jr.’s great-grandfather, Bernhardt was born upon the tenets of high-caliber materials, craftsmanship and people.

“Leveraging the region’s natural resources and local woodworking skills to strengthen the local economy, he [John] opened his factory with vast ambitions and 25 employees. Our original guiding principle was quality craftsmanship in all our products and a responsibility and partnership with the people of our community,” Alex explains. Bernhardt’s case goods and upholstery are cherished and coveted globally, showcasing thoughtful originality and meticulous execution: they can be found adorning the interiors of posh five-star hotels, private residences and revered public institutions. “Our hope is that when someone looks at a piece of furniture, they will know it is Bernhardt by its style,” he says.

INSIDE BERNHARDT: HERITAGE AND DESIGN

“

We are dedicated to the idea of affordable luxury.

What is the philosophy behind your firm?

The company’s history is one of creativity and passion for the artistry of furniture making, united with a deep commitment to people and relationships.

Is your work easily recognizable?

Do you have signature design elements?

Particularly in our home collections, our brand is known for creating jewelry for the home, creating luxury moments where we live. This is usually accomplished by mixing different finishes and materials, with an emphasis on a variety of metals.

Do you have a design process?

If so, what is it?

We create a palette of colors and materials and then create forms to clothe in these various textures. We rarely create a single piece in a vacuum. It’s always about the mix within a room.

1. One-of-a-kind pieces: a credenza hand-carved and wrapped in German silver paired with modern horn chairs.

2. Elevating furniture to art form with handwork processes and organic-applied materials.

PERSONAL TOUCH IN THE HOME’S BUSIEST SPACES, LUXURY MEANS DITCHING COOKIE-CUTTER STYLE FOR HIGHLY CUSTOM LOOKS THAT ARE BRIMMING WITH ONE-OF-A-KIND PANACHE. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

There is no staple recipe for the perfect kitchen or bath. And while a few tried-and-true formulas can get you pretty close (think one-part design inspiration from your favorite shelter magazine, one-part your preferred color and material palettes and two-parts whatever works for your family and lifestyle), the time it takes to cook up all the elements varies widely from person to person and project to project. Only one thing remains consistent: The most successful rooms in the home are those you fill with the things you love. The secret to design bliss is knowing when to break the rules in favor of additions—like an elegant chandelier over a freestanding tub or a bold rug in the kitchen—that make you uniquely happy. On the following pages, we convince some of Luxe’s favorite designers to spill the secrets behind their most-coveted—and therefore inherently covetable—spaces.

Interior designer Laura Burleson didn’t overlook a single detail in designing her casual yet sophisticated workhorse space but still managed to have plenty of fun, playing with texture and color and introducing unexpected elements throughout. lauraburleson.com

Favorite element in the space? The campaignstyle sink base. I fell in love with a giant vintage chest in London during the remodel, but its dimensions were off; instead, I had a cabinetmaker build a replica out of walnut and brass hardware.

Share the vision for your kitchen. I wanted the space to feel like a dining room that happens to have a kitchen on the periphery, rather than a kitchen with a table in the middle; so, I eliminated traditional upper cabinets and designed the cabinetry to look more like furniture.

How did you master the mix? In this space, the walnut sink base and cypress ceilings dictated the palette, so I used Farrow & Ball’s Elephant’s Breath on the cabinetry, hood and walls to unite the wooden undertones—thereby drawing the eye to the more dominant elements.

A study in contrasts, this bathroom’s warm brass faucets from Waterworks pop against a palette of whites and grays established by floor tiles from New Ravenna. The washstand is from Palmer, and the sconces are from Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co.

When interior designer Marianne Simon decided she wanted to capture a bit of coastal elegance in a Seattle bathroom, she could think of only one material that would bring her vision to life: brass. Used sparingly throughout— on the cool nautical-style mirrored medicine cabinets from RH, the seafaring sconces overhead, and the pretty-as-a-picture washstand and matching faucets—the brass both pops against the clean subway tiles and reins in the dizzying intrigue of the abstract tiles underfoot. “Brass, especially the unlacquered brass I used here, is really hot right now,” Simon says. “It patinas beautifully and adds warmth. It’s a great alternative to other finishes, especially in spaces you don’t want to feel too sweet. It truly just gets better and better with time.” mariannesimondesign.com 240 / LUXESOURCE.COM

THE CHALLENGE: Combine a contemporary South Beach-style interior within a Mediterraneaninspired exterior featuring barrel roof tiles, decorative columns and bougainvillea vines creeping over arched openings. “Since the original home was historically significant, the city required that the new construction represent the same architectural style,” says architect Kiko Franco. “The challenge was to incorporate the homeowner’s modern tastes.” THE WORK: Designers Louis Shuster and Eric Dyer worked with a neutral palette, mixing sleek profiles with

simplicity in each room to amicably balance the elaborate exterior with a minimalist interior. “The homeowner didn’t mind the Mediterranean style outside but insisted on a more contemporary South Beach look inside,” says Shuster. Adds Dyer, “We focused on creating subtle details and clean, linear surfaces.” THE RESULT: The design concept is structured, such as in the living room, where each furniture item mimics one another in a clean and modern way. Here, the interior exhibits a modern vibe, but in a complementary juxtaposition to the grand, historic exterior.

THE CHALLENGE: The owners of this South Florida retreat sought to create a West Indies tropical plantation, complete with live oaks, shutters and louvered doors, on a serene, 20-acre lot—one that captures timeless style while being warm and welcoming to all who visit. “They wanted a comfortable home without formality—clean and transitional,” says interior designer Marlene Murrah. THE WORK: Murrah fashioned the interiors with pieces from the owners’ existing collection of art and antiques, such as in the living room, where

she upholstered two sofas from their previous house with a Holly Hunt fabric by Casa Dio for a more modernized look. “There’s now such depth and substance in every aspect of the home,” says Murrah. THE RESULT: Ultimately, the design team’s goal was achieved to create a welcoming and refined home that interacts well from the entry gazebo throughout the entire residence. “It was a great marriage, where we all brought our strongest abilities to the table,” says builder Marc Angles.

“We all spoke the same language.”

THE CHALLENGE: A couple drawn to a 1960s Delray Beach condo wanted to create a crisp, contemporary space. With a desire for a welcoming, innovative and accessible interior, the couple hired designers Allison Paladino and Zita Rudd, along with architect Mark Marsh and builder Phillip Maragos, to make their design dreams come to life. THE WORK: To give the homeowners a serene oasis, the design team worked together to incorporate a palette of blues and whites, along with marina-inspired accents. Additionally, combining tactile surfaces,

clean-lined furniture and attention-grabbing artwork creates a cozy yet present-day feel for the home. “When they open the door, they undoubtedly know they are in Florida at the beach,” says Paladino. THE RESULT: “With the neutral palette—the consistency of these offwhite tones we used—nothing feels very heavy in this apartment,” says Paladino. Overall, the home reflects the couples’ desire for a Zen and tranquil lifestyle. “Life’s busy,” says one of the homeowners, “and this condo is our getaway from the snow and the usual pace of life.”

CASA Q Established in 1985 as an architectural and interior design firm in Venezuela, Casa Q quickly flourished and expanded to Miami, Florida, where head director Mercedes Aguino has been contributing, for more than 30 years, a particularly transcendent approach to some of Miami’s finest private residences, luxury hotels and architectural firms. “Our mission is to creatively design innovative spaces that meet each particular need as well as provide exceptionally unique approaches to each piece of work,” Aguino says.

With an elite profile that ranges all over South Florida in areas like Coco Plum, Bal Harbour, Doral, Coral Gables and Key Biscayne, Casa Q has become a reputable firm by working in some of Florida’s most prestigious development areas, including The Mansions at Doral, Lofts at Mayfair, Beacon Harbour and Aqua by Mirax Group.

REAL ESTATE INSIDERS DISH ON THE STATE OF THE LUXURY HOME MARKET: WHAT’S SELLING, WHO’S BUYING, AND WHAT’S HOT NOW. WRITTEN BY MIMI FAUCETT

ON THE MARKET When we asked Jacksonville interior designer Jim Howard to share his design philosophy, he quoted Winston Churchill, saying, “My tastes are simple. I am easily satisfied by the best.” These words seem to ring even truer today, especially when we look at the current state of luxury real estate. To the high-end homebuyer (or seller), today’s unlimited options and unprecedented modern amenities have created a whole new world of knowledge and access, but one thing has remained constant: When it comes to home, we want the best—the best home or condo, in the best neighborhood, on the best block, with all the bells and whistles. And what does that mean in today’s market? Here, we speak with some of the industry’s biggest power players—from a renowned home stager with an eye for what sells to the nation’s top real estate agents—to find out what’s prompting bidding wars all over the country.

WE ASKED FIVE TOP REAL ESTATE AGENTS ABOUT THE TRENDS THEY’RE SEEING IN THEIR OWN BACKYARDS.

GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT

THE RIGHT LIGHT

The right lighting can make—or break—the sale of your home.

A successful lighting scheme comprises a harmonious mixture of ambient, task and accent lighting, so a homeowner can easily choose the mood of the room and increase its functionality. The rule of thumb in interior lighting is to layer all three. Volker Haug’s Discus fixture (shown here) covers all the bases. It is simple and efficient with one exposed bulb, but its decorative marble disks, paired with a brushed-brass finish, create interest and add a pop of color. volkerhaug.com

Which neighborhood is the safest bet for a return on investment? In Greenwich, I don’t think of a specific area as having a better return on investment, but rather a home itself. I also believe that we have gone back to buying a home to live in and for family, not just for investment. Unless, of course, you are an investor looking to invest. Where do new buyers want to be? I have been fortunate enough to have young buyers looking to stay in the urban core and others opting for the suburbs.

Barbara Zaccagnini, Coldwell Banker, coldwellbanker.com

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA Most outrageous home you’ve ever sold? An 11,000-square-foot concretesteel-and-glass contemporary estate, all on one level, in Paradise Valley on one of the best streets in town. Which neighborhood is having a moment? Rio Verde Foothills is making national news thanks to its dedication to sustainability practices.

What do buyers want?

Contemporary architecture has become very popular

since we over-delivered Tuscan and Mediterranean design for the past 15 years.

Most buyers are favoring open-floor plans, clean lines and an efficient use of space.

Where do buyers want to be?

Arizona buyers should be zeroing in on the 85253, 85255 and 85018 area codes.

have, offices in the central business district and that is where their employees want to live. Traffic is a problem in Austin; so, proximity to where you work and spend your free time is essential. Which neighborhoods should we be keeping our eyes on? I would watch the areas close to the new Dell Medical School and the redevelopment of Waller Creek. These two pillars in Austin will be changing our city.

Laura Gottesman, Gottesman Residential Real Estate, gottesmanresidential.com

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Which neighborhood is having a moment? The North Shore is well-established, but there is also a ton of new construction in reinvigorated areas, some of which are being built up by prominent developers. Where does everyone want to be?

Millennials are staying in the urban core for an easy commute; they often do not have cars. Families and other age groups are still opting for the suburbs due to lower taxes, schools and the desire for a quieter lifestyle.

Linda Martin, Coldwell Banker, coldwellbanker.com

AUSTIN, TEXAS Where does everyone want to be this season? Our urban core is booming in both commercial and residential development. Many of the big tech companies have, or will

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON Most outrageous home you’ve ever sold? The highest priced home we have sold to date was over $20 million, and it still holds the record for the highest sale in Washington. It was an unbelievable custom home on the water with beachfront, looking directly at the Seattle skyline. Neighborhoods we should keep an eye on?

Areas east and north of the city are seeing a lot of growth and redevelopment. We are excited about The Spring District in Bellevue and what that will bring to those areas.

What locale is having a moment? The West Bellevue community on the east side of Seattle has seen the greatest appreciation year over year.

center STAGE

Meridith Baer knows what sells. Her namesake home staging firm, which was started by accident in 1995 when she fixed up a home she was leasing and the landlord took notice, has grown from a one-woman show in Los Angeles to a team of 250 operating offices in L.A., Manhattan, the Hamptons, Connecticut, Florida and San Francisco. Just last year, her busy roster of designers completed nearly 1,500 installs. “Really what staging is, is a marketing tool,” says Baer. “We want someone to walk into a home and fall in love.” meridithbaer.com Why does someone need a stager? When you want to sell a house quickly and for the best possible price, a stager is a near necessity. You’re designing a blank room.

First item you introduce to the space? Your large pieces of furniture are where you must start. You want to find the focus of the room—it might be a view or a fireplace—and plan your seating arrangement around it. Homebuyers are looking for... Comfort and ease. Buyers should think: It’s going to be easy to live here. It’s going to be easier than where I am now. Share what always helps a sale.

A beautifully made, comfortable sofa that you just want to dive into really makes a space. Having quality primary pieces makes a big difference in a room.

Florida designer Jim Howard, of James Michael Howard, has earned quite the reputation for his prolific work in designing spec homes. Unlike the cookie-cutter residences of yesteryear that gave spec homes their colorless reputation, in Howard’s turnkey homes, no detail or expense is spared.

Each home comes fully appointed with innovative materials and custom furniture pieces (Exhibit A: the Sagaponack, New York, residence below). Here, Howard shares his tried-and-true tips for creating a stylish house sure to please almost any design sensibility. jamesmichaelhoward.com

Look around: Designing for a client is designing for a specific intent or a particular need. In a spec house,

you’re constantly trying to figure out who your buyer is. Pay attention to what I call the vernacular style, or what is happening in the surrounding area.

It’s all in the details: Our firm has a strong architectural focus. A typical house for us starts with countless drawings of interior details. Those small things, when done well, are the soul of the house. It takes time, experience and passion. I always say, “There’s doing it right and there’s all the rest of the ways.”

Tone it down: I tend to stay more neutral in palette and introduce color in art. In the house shown here, we have plenty of color, but it’s watered down, with varied textures and metals acting as moments of “color.”

STATE OF THE

ARCHITECTURE Since opening his eponymous architecture firm in Austin, Texas, in 2005, Michael Hsu has had a front-row seat to the capital city’s rapidly shifting design scene. His work includes such local gems as the buzzy South Congress Hotel, the much-acclaimed Japanese eatery Uchi, and other area restaurants, office spaces and luxury residences. “There’s a pursuit to be fresh in design, entrepreneurship and culture,” say Hsu of his design-forward locale. “Austin still has a local vibe, but things that we look toward are no longer regional; they are international.” We sat down with the busy architect to discuss the state of architecture today—and where it’s headed. hsuoffice.com

How have homeowners’ tastes changed since you founded your firm 11 years ago? Homeowners are less tied to specific design style or aesthetic. The influence of social media has changed our clients’ perspective on design. They are more educated about hospitality and style and have really amped up their participation in the creative discovery process. What do your clients look for when they’re building a new home? For the most part, they’re looking to construct an open dialogue between their indoor and outdoor spaces to create an extension of the home’s living area. Even when not in use, the views need to be carefully designed so that the inside and outside amplify each other. Where is architecture going? The way people live and work has drastically changed as of late. The usual hierarchy of home, office and hospitality is blurred; we want design in all facets of our lives. In the future, these spaces will continue to be a part of our lives in similar ways as opposed to different.

Most impactful spaces to remodel? It always comes down to kitchens and bathrooms, which are typically the first places a buyer assesses the date and quality of the home.

Downsize or upsize? Buy a presale to downsize but don’t sell your current home until it’s required when the new home is delivered. This allows equity to grow on both transactions in a market that’s rising. realogics.com

What do you keep in mind when helping clients find a home? I look at their personality, lifestyle, price point and needs. Young families who stay in the city are often searching for highly rated public schools.

In the downtown market, buyers want convenience, walkability and views. True or false: location, location, location? Absolutely true— especially in the high-end market. jamesonsir.com

Curb appeal or big-name architect? Both. Curb appeal is always sought after and brings an exceptionally high premium to a home, but architects that bring life to older historic properties also bring value. Market trend you’re noticing: Buyers choosing quality over size is a welcome trend. Also, I’m happy to see dark, heavy finishes being replaced with spacious, light-filled design. wolfegroupdenver.com

Any exceptional amenities you’re seeing? I’ve started to see talking toilets recently, if you can believe it! Upsize or downsize? Downsize. Get out of your living room and enjoy your neighborhood and the city you live in—or at least have a reason for your kids not to move back home!

Stager or no stager? Stager.

Making a property look its best needs no explanation; we do dress ourselves up, don’t we? elliman.com

Top things buyers are looking for today? Quality construction and finishes are first; next, is a livable floor plan. Whether it is family game night or an elegant dinner party, people want an open and flowing living space. Where do new buyers want to be? The “live, work, play” lifestyle is here to stay. People don’t want to burn a half-tank of gas to get to the office and back. waltdanley.com

If the kitchen is the heart of the home; then, the sink is its heartbeat. These days, it seems that high-end faucets and five-star hotel quality fixtures are ubiquitous with luxury residences. Manhattan’s 432 Park Avenue, for example, offers both spectacular views and modern furnishings complemented by polished-chrome fittings from Dornbracht.

“Our quality and innovative design was a perfect fit for the project,” says President and CEO of Dornbracht Americas Ingolf Matthée. “As a luxury brand, Dornbracht represents high-quality materials and craftsmanship, and this exclusive building, which we are privileged to be a part of, follows these same principles.” The Deborah Berke Partners-designed model apartment (shown) features Dornbracht’s Tara collection— a staple in the German company’s repertoire—in both the kitchen and bathroom. dornbracht.com

MOVING ON UP

With increasing frequency, today’s luxury homebuyers are eschewing sprawling square footage and green space and choosing instead to stay in the city center and invest in luxury condos. In the case of The Sutton condominium, it’s easy to see the appeal.

The 90 residences, designed by New York-based Incorporated Architecture & Design, feature lofty ceiling heights, stunning white oak flooring and sweeping views of Manhattan. The gracious units contain state-of-the-art appliances, such as Gaggenau cooktops and custom Watermark fixtures in the bathroom. The exterior, too, is clad in classic brick, which serves as a sort of ode to the area’s traditional building materials.

Its design strikes the perfect balance between New York’s industrial past and modern architectural innovations. When can we move in? incorporatedny.com

Brilliant bursts of color and one-of-a-kind creations will add a personal feel.

An interior design and furnishings company, CasaInterior USA offers a new location in the Miami Design District as a one-stop shop for interior designers, developers, general contractors and homeowners. Proprietor and principal designer Zuli Marval, along with her team, strives to provide highly flexible modular systems that solve functional problems.

“Buying a CasaInterior USA product is an investment in many ways,” Marval says. The company’s product offering spans Italian kitchen cabinets, closets, interior doors, lighting and high-end furniture for modern, traditional or contemporary tastes. “We are not only synonymous with the luxury lifestyle and excellence in quality, but also competitive prices,” Marval says. Of the importance of having a cohesive style, Marval says balance is the key.

“Each room in your house should relate back to your home’s general theme and create a successful flow and rhythm. Add your own unique touches to an otherwise cohesive home décor. Brilliant bursts of color and one-of-a-kind creations will add a personal feel.”

PALETTE OF CHOICE: NEUTRAL Asked to discuss trending finishes and palettes, Marval points to neutrals, including white, grays and dark graphite or black. “They are practical and provide a great backdrop,” she says. “On a gray background, even the simplest decoration will stand out and look like a million bucks. The gray kitchen is a modern trend that combines well with a second color or works as a single choice, especially when the texture of the material resembles stone, concrete or metal.”

HAIFA LIMESTONE

“

A trip to Haifa’s 10,000-squarefoot showroom and factory will inspire you. We handle it all, which is valuable to the client.

Boasting the largest selection of limestone in Florida and a reputation for superior customer service, design and fabrication, Haifa Limestone has become paramount to the creation of high-end residential homes throughout the state and beyond. According to president Desmond Keogh, this success is due in part to the company’s belief in innovation and evolution. “We made a huge transformation when we went digital,” he says. “All of our field measurements are now done with laser digital templating, after which the approved file goes to our CNC waterjet saw for fabrication. This required retraining for our entire staff.” Haifa imports unique materials from more than 50 countries, and with 29 years in the business, Keogh instinctively knows what it is for which his clients are looking. Of today’s interior styles, he points to a distinct change. “The aesthetic has shifted from Mediterranean Revival to minimal modern, which is at the highest level ever,” he says.

“

Madeli bathroom furniture is not just another pretty face. It offers impressive functionality.

At Madeli, the philosophy comes down to one key concept: functional elegance. CEO Eric Dormoy elaborates, saying, “European influenced, our contemporary and transitional designs are boldly elegant and stylish, yet maximize the modern functionality demanded by today’s educated and discriminating consumers.” With a combined 50 years of experience, Dormoy and Madeli’s president Angel Martinez are committed to providing products—including bathroom furniture, bath accessories and wash basins—that exude quality, innovation and sophistication. Madeli’s diverse offerings are presented in collections, each meeting the needs of a specific aesthetic or individual. “We have recently introduced five new collections: Urban, Soho, Cube, Metro and Retro,” Martinez says. “The response to those collections has been beyond expectations. This successful introduction is inspiring us to start dreaming about the next year’s new collections.” Asked to elaborate on current trends, Dormoy notes that the contemporary style is no longer unique to larger markets. “Contemporary designs have had stronger niches in South Florida, New York City, New England, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles,” he says. “But we have seen a shift in more traditional markets toward this style in the past five years, particularly in the bathroom.”

With renowned interior designer and namesake Sarah Zohar at the helm, the firm takes its clients’ projects through the entire process, from design to construction to final details. A lover of environments that simultaneously function and please the eye, Zohar has found a specialty in kitchen and bath design. Of her approach, she says, “I strive to design spaces that cater to my clients’ needs, but it’s also important to me to push them out of their comfort zones, which allows me to expose them to new ideas and experiences which, at the end of the day, could lead to a more functional and impressive design.”

PERFECTION FROM EVERY ANGLE

1. A white palette creates a feeling of openness and a clean aesthetic.

Technological feat. An up-and-coming innovation, according to Zohar, is 3-D printing. “It will allow for more unique designs,” she says. Cohesion. “Every design needs to flow both aesthetically and ergonomically,” Zohar says. “If a space is not planned out with intention, the result is lackluster.” Beauty + sustainability. Zohar often uses recycled wood, a distinctive and eco-friendly material, in her projects, be it through furniture or flooring options.

hat would look right with pink Venetian plaster walls and a live-edge redwood headboard reminiscent of a Nakashima piece? It’s a question Los Angeles-based designer Tatum Kendrick pondered about the master bedroom she was renovating inside a condo on Fisher Island. Kendrick’s answer—side tables that look like brass cubes inspired by Donald Judd—along with the aforementioned selections, is indicative of her upbeat, eclectic and often fearless approach to interior design. For this particular project, Kendrick had in mind a Cuban vibe comingling with the essence of the French Riviera. “I wanted to capture Miami back in the 1940s and ’50s, when the Cuban influence was everywhere, and combine it with an easy indoor-outdoor feeling that evokes the South of France.”

Her clients Mia and Rafael Llopiz, a New York couple with Cuban roots who had worked with the designer on two previous homes, were immediately on board. “There’s a romantic, sexy spiciness about them that I wanted their home to reflect,” Kendrick says about the stylish high school sweethearts who are now empty nesters. But the existing condo, with its hollow-core bifold doors, ho-hum living room built-ins and a dated kitchen, was devoid of both sensuality and imagination. “We needed to start by elevating the architectural finishes,” she adds.

The designer tackled those challenges in concert with builder Ray Martinez, who gutted the kitchen and oversaw the installation of new cabinets and finishes in the existing footprint. “Because of the location of the mechanicals, the layout needed to remain the same,” says Martinez, who helmed construction with the help of his colleague Mike Mila. “We also removed the living room wall unit and filled in a recessed section created by a wet bar, so the new wall was flush and ready to be covered with Venetian plaster.”

Juan Jose Leon served as the architect of record to handle logistics and permitting.

The wall finishes were the first of many choices to make the Cuban connection. “Cuban interiors are all about history and rich patinas, and plaster walls have that old, historical

“I WANTED TO CAPTURE MIAMI BACK IN THE 1940S AND ’50S, WHEN THE CUBAN INFLUENCE WAS EVERYWHERE.” -TATUM KENDRICK

feeling,” Kendrick says; she used a soft gray in the main living spaces and a more daring pink in the bedroom, where new black studded leather doors counteract the feminine hue.

In the living room, brass stanchions on the media shelving and brass banding on the main light fixture—both custom pieces by Los Angeles-based artisan Jason Koharik—were selected with an eye toward how they would age. “Being this close to the ocean, they are starting to get a patina already, and they’ll just keep getting better over time,” Kendrick says.

The sparkling metal accents join a sofa upholstered in three distinct textiles: burgundy leather, polka-dotted fabric and dusty pink velvet. It’s one of many custom-designed pieces by Kendrick, and it joins brassy Z-shaped dining chairs to establish a flashy, vibrant postwar Miami ambience that imbues the entire residence with a salsa beat. “It’s a super eclectic mix of eras and materials that just work well together,” says Kendrick, who didn’t hesitate to add a pillowy Mario Bellini-inspired chair by Koharik dressed in studded pale pink leather. “The kidskin is so soft; it’s like sitting in this big, amazing marshmallow.”

The rhythm begins in the entry, where the tropical foliage wallpaper instantly puts you in the mood for a margarita.

Paired with a modern table carved from balsa wood and covered with plaster, the combination of disparate items is Kendrick at her finest. “I love playing with tension points and figuring out what partners best with something else,” says the designer. Case in point: her coupling of busy blackand-white-print wallpaper with canvas draperies and black raffia-like trim in the study. “The drapes are so graphic and out there,” she says. “They were definitely a design risk.” This bold pairing stops just short of going over the top.

Equally graphic is the strong veining in the marble that swathes the kitchen counters, island and backsplash.

According to Kendrick, because the kitchen is open to the rest of the condo, it needed to make its own stylistic statement. “The stone resembles old Roman marble like you’d see in a museum,” she says.

In contrast to the bolder statements, the Riviera influence arrives in more subtle ways, as in the sensuous curve of the Roger Rougier coffee table and soft white living room sheers that billow in the breeze. The latter creates a gentle connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces, and strategically placed potted palms further blur the lines between inside and out. On the terraces, many of the furnishings, designed by Kendrick and inspired by the work of Jean Royère, have a noticeable French attitude. “The sofas and sling chairs with ironwork pattern and brass ball details are very French,” says Kendrick. “And the small stripes on the upholstery along with the mustache fringe on the cushions is like something you would see on the Riviera.”

Whether inside or outside, the ongoing juxtaposition of styles and materials succeeds in denoting the romance and glamour of a time gone by. As Kendrick explains, “I think we captured the feel and lifestyle of someone living in the 1950s. There’s a wonderful interplay between French refinement and a bold Cuban punch.”

The homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cuban overtones begin in the entry, where designer Tatum Kendrick chose a tropical wallcovering from Walnut Wallpaper in Los Angeles to make a bold statement. The custom Aqua Appia console and Hopi Pot pendant light are both by Jason Koharik of Collected By in Los Angeles, and the triangle mirror is from Stripe Vintage Modern.

F

rom a designer’s standpoint, there is really only one way to ensure that clients get exactly what they want—get to know them. With regard to one couple in particular, designer Jennifer Knowles interviewed them multiple times, knowing them first as acquaintances, then as clients and eventually as friends.

Knowles notes that it is critically important to understand an owner’s needs and wants, dreams and desires, likes and dislikes. After all, Knowles says, “An owner’s life centers around all the little details you put into his or her home.”

In this case, the owner and his girlfriend were very clear about their greatest desire for the interiors of their tropical modern house, which was designed by architect Randall Stofft and built by Terry Cudmore, and is perched on a finger of water reaching out from the Intracoastal Waterway: oodles of gray, please, and barely any brown. Many lovers of gray who design their own homes end up with rooms entirely fitted out in gray and chrome, but here, Knowles wanted to bring in more depth and contrast. So first, the designer used more than one shade: Following the lead of every good black-and-white photographer, she composed with tones from the very darkest through to the very lightest.

Then she brought in some warmth. “Gray is very cool,” says Knowles. “You have to heat it up with hits of gold.” Such gold nuggets are found in nearly every room. In the great room, for example, they show up as light fixtures and accent tables.

In the stairway, they reveal themselves as framed art pieces and a brass-trimmed Cubist chandelier. And in the master bedroom, the walls are draped floor to ceiling and wall to wall in a golden-hued Great Plains fabric.

A particular color story wasn’t the couple’s only desire.

The man of the house was also very particular when it came to the comfort of the chairs, finding that very few were actually a good fit for him and his chronic back pain.

“I think I sat in every chair from Miami to Jacksonville,”

“AN OWNER’S LIFE CENTERS AROUND ALL THE LITTLE DETAILS YOU PUT INTO HIS OR HER HOME.” -JENNIFER KNOWLES

302 / LUXESOURCE.COM

jokes Knowles. Her persistence paid off when she sat her way through a Roche Bobois showroom. They customized both the dining chairs and the two side chairs in the great room, where they extended the back by 6 inches. “Their willingness to tailor means this owner can be comfortable in his own home,” Knowles says. The kitchen, too, took some detailed understanding. The woman of the house is a serious cook, but she wanted the kitchen to be a wide-open, straightforward galley opening into the great room. “We mapped out where every item goes, right down to the spices and utensils,” Knowles recalls.

The architect didn’t require quite as much face time with the couple. “This was my fourth house with owner,” says Stofft. For one of those houses, he designed a 38,000-square-foot behemoth. “This house, though, is a bit more diminutive,” he says of the 5,700-square-foot home tucked onto a parcel of land within eyesight—but at an angle—of the Intracoastal Waterway. To maximize the view toward the water, Stofft rotated the major spaces toward the Intracoastal and utilized large corner windows.

Although this home is smaller than the owner’s previous house, the architect still wanted it to feel expansive. “We maximized the footprint without making it feel tight,” he says.

This was tricky, however, because the couple wanted a large entertainment area, including space for their full-size PingPong table, a deck and a swimming pool—as well as the public spaces and a pub—all on the ground level. “Each space is important, and they all want to feel voluminous,” Stofft says.

The architecture itself, however, is restrained. Using stucco on concrete blocks, Stofft crafted a two-story configuration with low-slung hip roofs sheathed in porcelain tile imported from Japan. At the rear, two separate masses express themselves, one aimed at the immediate water and the other turned toward the Intracoastal. White horizontal bands and window and door trim create a balanced composition. A boat dock lingers along the canal’s edge.

Building this wasn’t as easy as it would have been on a different lot, according to the builder. First, the lot has narrow sidelines. Second, the rear is directly on a seawall. Third, the contemporary interior detailing leaves little room for error.

“And then there were the marble slabs that measured 5 feet tall and 11 feet long, and weighed 800 pounds,” Cudmore says with a laugh. The couple envisioned something unique for the master bathroom on the upper level. So Knowles decided to enfold the room in marble. Simple enough. But she wanted the stone book-matched, laid horizontally and with very few joints. In turn, Cudmore had enormous slabs machined—a typical marble slab is 8 feet long—and had them lifted by crane to a second-story window, where they were moved manually and set by hand. The effect is stunning—and carefully attuned to the couple’s desires, much like the rest of the house. Says Knowles, “Design is not simply lines on paper. It’s understanding what makes an owner tick.”

Earth-toned pavers from Cabo Brick and Stone lead up to an entry door from Smith & DeShields. The whiteand-gray exterior palette, warmed with wood paneling, hints at whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to come once the owners step inside their tropical modern home.

Two customized armless chairs by Roche Bobois in the great room fit the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comfort needs perfectly.

The entire scene rests on a rug by Patterson Flynn Martin.

GIVING TREE A LOVE OF NATURE AND A RESPECT FOR FORESTS IS CLEARLY VOICED THROUGH SIMPLE, ORGANIC FURNITURE DESIGNS, WHERE EACH PIECE TELLS A UNIQUE STORY. WRITTEN BY ANTONIA VAN DER MEER PHOTOGRAPHY BY CLAUDIO BEIER

Pilar Meza designs modern furnishings through her Miami-based studio, Rotsen Furniture, using sustainable woods, seen for example in the Cocobolo Glass Box coffee table (shown), made of cocobolo wood with a waterfall edge. A mirrored bottom reflects the grain of the wood even from underneath the table.

F

urniture designer Pilar Meza grew up in Colombia and now works in the United States and Brazil, so it is not surprising that she speaks Spanish, English and Portuguese. But she is also fluent in another language: wood. As she walks through the rain forests of Brazil, camera and tape measure in hand, she listens to the wind whistling through the treetops and the muffled movement of the leaves on the ground beneath her feet. Meza is on the hunt for dead and fallen trees, the raw material for her work as a furniture maker, and she is waiting for the right piece of wood to call out to her. When it does, she answers readily—photographing, measuring and tagging it for removal from the forest floor. It can take up to a year for that piece (sometimes as large as 50 inches in diameter and 20 feet long) to arrive at her studio in Miami, but when it does, she is ready for the design conversation. “The tree has died but we give it life again as a piece of art or furniture,” she says, bringing to mind the sentiments of Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree—a humble tree stump happy to be called back into service. “Each tree—some of them 500 years old or more—tells a story.” Her job is to decide how to translate that story.

The organic pieces Meza and business partner Denis Lacerda and their team of craftsmen create at Rotsen Furniture here and in Brazil—planters, tables, benches, wall sculptures and stools—are increasingly sought after by both residential and commercial customers, including the Four Seasons and Mandarin Oriental hotels. It’s a fitting lifestyle LUXESOURCE.COM / 313

“WHEN WOOD AGES, IT CHANGES COLOR AND BECOMES WEATHERED. IT DEVELOPS A NICE TEXTURE, WITH CRACKS AND LITTLE HOLES. THE MORE IMPERFECTIONS, THE BETTER.”

and career choice for Meza, as she spent a lot of time on family members’ farms as a child in South America, and her heart and passion has always been closely linked to nature. Design icons from Le Corbusier and Eames to Nakashima have influenced and informed her designs, but her connection to nature remains the strongest influence. “We try not to intervene a lot with the wood,” she says. “When wood ages, it changes color and becomes weathered. It develops a nice texture, with cracks and little holes. The more imperfections, the better.” In line with this love for nature, Meza’s company is staunchly ecofriendly, dedicated to the preservation of forests and committed to environmental sustainability and the use of renewable sources. (A portion of their sales goes to support Plant a Billion Trees, a nonprofit that plants trees and restores forest around the world.)

Part of the challenge, of course, is making sure that the sculptural furniture she creates fits her customers’ lifestyles, combining the rustic and the romantic with the utilitarian. A recent dining room table for a client in the Hamptons, for example, beautifully reflects its coastal surrounds, composed of white ash wood and acrylic with a whitewash finish. Its colors and near naked honesty easily echo the bright sights of the beach.

“You will eventually change pillows or upholstery,” she says, “but wood like this lasts for generations.”

This desire that homeowners have to reflect nature inside their homes as well as out is an inclination that Meza notices often, and her case goods speak fluently to this notion. “I believe this trend will keep growing,” she says.

“Even the most urban person wants to feel a connection to nature.”

Along with business partner Denis Lacerda and their team of craftsmen, Meza (opposite) turns to salvaged wood for many of her pieces, like the round Mandala dining table shown above or the Ferpas wall sculpture shown left. Whether from old houses or even Rotsen’s own production, Meza says nothing is ever a throwaway.

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS CLEAN LINES AND LUXURIOUS FABRICS HELP A DESIGN TEAM MODERNIZE A WATERFRONT CONDO WITH A CLASSIC FRENCH TWIST. WRITTEN BY ELAINE MARKOUTSAS / PHOTOGRAPHY BY CARLOS DOMENECH

Zinc Textile’s quilted faux leather from Romo lends a Chanel-inspired nod to the living room’s custom bar. Powell & Bonnell’s Alto barstools are from Stephen Turner Showroom and sport Créations Métaphores fabric from Holly Hunt. The sconces in the adjacent entry are from Blackman Cruz in Los Angeles; they hang above a custom console by Deborah Wecselman Design and flank a painting from the owners’ collection.

I

t would be impossible to look past the seductive city and ocean views of this spacious, two-story penthouse—especially with terraces on both levels that boost the square footage by 50 percent. But the Aventura high-rise where it resides has much to distinguish in and of itself, with the highest level of materials, resort-style amenities and an ambience that sings French 1940s chic. Even so, for the owners and their three college-age children, the ample interiors needed editing in order to better suit their lifestyle. “The apartment was very heavy architecturally,” explains interior designer Deborah Wecselman, who has had a relationship with the couple for 15 years. From ceiling to floor, haute ornamentation ruled, with fancy moldings, detailed tray and coffered ceilings, gilding, lots of figured stone, and dark traditional built-ins.

So the mission was to simplify. The owners wanted a more modern feel and liked the idea of subtle accents suggestive of a Parisian flat. “We made it more French modern,” says Javier Ortiz, Wecselman’s project manager who took on the interior architectural detailing alongside the designer, with Jorge L. Esteban of Accolade Architecture serving as architect of record.

To begin, Wecselman had a white-oak parquet floor installed in the outer foyer. She then replaced stainedglass upper panels on the existing entry doors with mesh grillwork typically found in old French architecture. She liked the European elegance of the ornate iron railing on the staircase inside, but not its open risers. “We removed a wood cap and brass finials, which had been creating excess ornamentation,” says Ortiz. “We added a simpler metal handrail and created a wall to conceal exposed risers, and wood steps instead of stone. It’s a dramatic 180-degree change.” For the space, Wecselman designed a tufted

Custom velvet-clad Holly Hunt Waterloo sofas team with chairs from the owners’ previous home; now they’re upholstered in Great Outdoors fabric from Holly Hunt.

The small accent pillows on the sofas boast Schumacher’s patterned Serengeti fabric. Interior designer Deborah Wecselman designed the cocktail table for the homeowners 10 years ago; it joins a sculptural table by Gabriel Scott and a white marble table by Caste.

Ann Sacks mirrored tiles and honed porcelain tile flooring from Opustone Natural Stone Distributors changed the tone of the kitchen, which also got new life by repainting the cabinetry and changing the countertops to Calacatta Gold marble, also from Opustone. Wecselman replaced an existing banquette and added Great Outdoors’ Lionheart fabric from Holly Hunt and Cairo Pinwheel pillows by Christen Maxwell. The breakfast table, chairs and light fixture are by RH.

“I LOVE A MIX OF MATERIALS AND TEXTURES. THE FRENCH DO IT THE BEST.” -DEBORAH WECSELMAN

Opposite: Tall, narrow painted-wood panels of a male and female figure by Cuban artist José Bedia underscore the moody palette in the second-floor family room. A dyed saffron-hued semi-antique Turkish rug from Anadol Rug Co.’s Vestige collection anchors the conversation area.

Below: Dark cherry cabinetry and paneling in an additional kitchen off the family room were painted a fresh white. Aro barstools with walnut seats are by Bernhardt Design. B&B Italia’s Tufty-Time sofa and Poliform’s Mad chairs offer seating. Pianca’s Abaco coffee tables are from Addison House.

recamier upholstered in Romo’s teal Loriano crushed velvet and teamed it with modern touches: a Praying Mantis floor lamp reminiscent of the work of ’50s French designer Serge Mouille, a geometric black-marble-topped Matrix table and a white cowhide rug by Stark.

More refinements came in the living room. “We removed some trimwork and de-bulked medallions in the center of an elaborate coffered ceiling, and then painted it all white,” says builder Javier Delgado. “It’s a ghost of the old design.”

Keeping the look light, Wecselman had an oak herringbone floor installed and custom-stained it to look weathered, nodding to the style of French designers Patrick Gilles and Dorothée Boissier. “The herringbone especially works in angled spaces due to an irregular layout,” she says. “I didn’t want to be too modern—everybody is doing planking these days.” Next, Wecselman and Ortiz designed a chic bar to replace the old dark cherry millwork. On the opposite wall, a Louis XV-style fireplace was nixed, as well as its steppedout paneled framework. In its place, there’s a simple custom lacquered-and-brass cabinet with a flat-screen TV above it. Drawing from a taupe, white and mushroom palette, Wecselman kept the layout simple, squaring up clean-lined LUXESOURCE.COM / 325

Opposite: A midcentury Stilnovo chandelier from Michel Contessa Antiques lends whimsy to the upper landing.

It hangs from a circular recess over a custom table that sits on a vintage goatskin rug; the glass accessories on the table are by Sklo. The bench near the window is also vintage, as is the 1950s brass coat rack to its side.

Below: In the dining room, a dramatic painting by Bedia contrasts the Donghia velvet on the chairs; the chairs and table are by Nuhouse Furniture + Design from Ammon Hickson, and the bowls are by Alexander Lamont. Global Views sconces and a Lindsey Adelman chandelier light the space. Phillip Jeffriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wallpaper from Holly Hunt clads the ceiling.

velvet sofas with a glass-topped cocktail table and the couple’s existing chairs re-dressed in a practical textured outdoor fabric. Sheer linen draperies warm everything, adding sophistication and sheen at night because of metallic threads. “I love a mix of materials and textures,” Wecselman says. “The French do it the best.”

In the adjacent dining room, a pair of decorative ornamental columns was removed. “That opened the space,” says Ortiz. Wecselman suggested a bold punch of saffron, a dashing complement to the graphic black-andwhite art by José Bedia that stretches 15 feet across one wall. Ornamental French-style cove molding was painted to melt into neutral walls, and the ceiling was papered in a

metallic pewter leaf, which lends a shimmer that’s especially glamorous in the evening. (“White was a little too crisp,” explains Wecselman.) The classic Parsons-style table, which the builder says had to be hoisted through a sliding glass door because of its lofty size, comfortably seats 10.

Entertaining is indeed important to the couple, so the flow, especially with its impressive indoor-outdoor relationship and expansive terraces that include a pool and sauna accessible from nearly every room, clearly was a selling point. So was the kitchen: Because the space had been specified with high-end custom cabinetry and neverused appliances, there was little desire to gut. “All the original paperwork was still inside most of the appliances,” LUXESOURCE.COM / 327

Roomy Brown Jordan sofas from Clima Outdoor anchor a terrace overlooking the water. Marble-topped tables with stainless-steel legs were custom-designed by Wecselman; vases are by Janus et Cie, and the basket is

by Neรณ. Forest barstools are also by Janus et Cie; they complement the leathered-granite countertop from Opustone Natural Stone Distributors. Canvas awnings shelter the area from sun and rain, while ipe-wood cladding from Brazilian Direct warms the space, which also features RH sconces and a Stark rug.

says Delgado. “The previous owners must have eaten out every day. But the new owners entertain a lot, and the wife loves to cook.” New concrete-look porcelain tile floors and a riveted stainless-steel range hood hint at industrial style, while antiqued-mirrored tiles in a running bond pattern on the backsplash reflect classic French techniques from the 18th century.

For the master suite, Wecselman says the homeowners wanted calm, silvery hues, with an updated French ’40s feel. “No crowns or baseboards. Simple,” she says.

“We created a datum line with a piece of lacquered wood that establishes a separation and gives a little crispness to the room.” But Ortiz says that the most challenging space planning involved the reconfigured master bathroom. A new bath layout and shower on an exterior wall required creative work with existing plumbing, as well as “engineering to reinforce the 8-foot-long floating vanity, which held a huge piece of stone,” he says.

Additional bedrooms and bathrooms can be found on the second level, as well as a family room that offers more of the same comfort and vistas. On the huge east-facing terrace, paved with porcelain tiles to replace busy travertine flooring, Wecselman says, “you can entertain 50 people up there and not even see all of them. It’s awesome for partying outside.”

The team created a new layout with a barbecue area, complete with a bar, grill, refrigerator and ice maker.

Delgado, who is also a landscape architect, laid out a pergola with ipe-wrapped columns.

Now, the sky residence is easy to love. “It offers the flexibility and amenities of a condo with the space and comfort of a home,” says Wecselman. “And with it being the penthouse, there’s nobody around you.

You’re on top of the world.”

Above: A window behind the master bathroomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shower affords a stellar view, and sliding doors open to the terrace. The floating vanity has an integrated trough sink in Bianco Dolomiti marble from Stone Source in New York, fabricated by The Place for Tile, and Dornbracht faucets. A custom bench with acrylic legs is covered in Larsen upholstery. A Varick chandelier by RH adds modernity to the tray ceiling.

Opposite: The master bedroom includes a channeled headboard wearing Rogers & Goffigon wool thanks to Le Jeune Upholstery. A custom desk joins a chair from Erinn V. Collection in Los Angeles. The custom-upholstered bench, from Michael Dawkins Home, is softened with Mongolian fur. Perched on the bedside table are Kinsa porcelains

by BC Home; above them hangs a pendant by John Pomp. The room is wrapped in Cowtan & Tout wallpaper.

TRANSCENDING

TIME

“ANY GREAT WORK OF ART REVIVES AND READAPTS TIME AND SPACE.” THIS STATEMENT MADE BY COMPOSER LEONARD BERNSTEIN REMINDS US THAT INNOVATION IS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT REINVENTING THE WHEEL, BUT, AT TIMES, REFASHIONING CLASSICS TO FIT OUR MODERN LIVES. THIS SENTIMENT CERTAINLY RINGS TRUE TODAY—PARTICULARLY EVERY TIME THE BIENNALE DES ANTIQUAIRES ROLLS INTO PARIS. THIS SEPTEMBER, THE CELEBRATED ANTIQUES FAIR OBSERVES ITS 28TH ITERATION, PROVING THAT WHILE WE EMBRACE THE MODERN WORLD, OUR FASCINATION WITH CLASSIC STYLE AND DESIGN, AS EXEMPLIFIED IN THE ELEGANT PIECES SHOWN HERE, CONTINUES TO STAND THE TEST OF TIME.
