Creating space and reverence for the experience of art is always top of mind in our designs . Every decision is made with that principal tenet in mind . We are honored to present our homage to the critical role of art in our intimate lives, our cultural and social dialogue, and the ways in which we understand our current and future paths as human beings . Our spaces highlight the important work of three artists with ties to the Bay Area - Erica Deeman, Isaac Julien, and Lava Thomas . The work of these artists is grounded in matters of the human condition and asks the viewer to consider how we’ve arrived at this time and place, and what is our collective path forward . We’ve entitled our installation This Very Hour in reference to a speech given by Frederick Douglass on July 5, 1852, and also referenced in Isaac Julien’s insightful and moving art installation work entitled The Lessons of the Hour . We hope this work inspires people to engage in critical dialogue and consider their impact on the world around them .

After a year of refuge and reflection we are gently moving towards a mode of normalcy where handshakes will replace elbow bumps and embraces will last a bit too long . Friends will soon gather over tables of carefully prepared food, glasses will clink and conversations will sparkle . We will revel in the future, tell stories of the past, reflect on lasting changes to our communities and, like Depression Era grandparents, we will tuck away treasures for a rainy day . Our spaces, rendered in simple plaster, wood and natural stone, set the stage . Pops of color and texture draw your eye through the home to provide moments of interest . Art captivates the soul .

While we have all been changed by the past year’s events, family and community remain the center of our lives . The day that we welcome them back into our home is almost here and we are thrilled .

Special thanks to: Thank you to our incredibly talented network of showrooms, vendors, galleries and colleagues. Cheers to our amazing team. And, as always, thank you to University High School, Jenny, Thelma and the SFDC Advisory Board.

For the 2021 San Francisco Decorator Showcase Martin Kobus was inspired to create a homage to 1960’s -1970’s luxury high rise living . The building was built in 1962 so it seemed very appropriate to go this route . Think back to the movie interiors of that era MARTIN KOBUS reimagined for today . The living room’s centerpiece is a recreation of Ennio Chiggio’s “Environ One” sofa that establishes a zone for entertaining, one of several important and distinctive furnishings duplicated for the room . The large contemporary painting is by Julie Mehretu . The artist’s inspired technique of figurative layering of time and historical influences pays tribute to the abstract expressionism and the digital age of society . The Bar welcomes you with a stone sculptural island that is in itself an art piece . Here the host can serve cocktails while friends lounge on the mustard floating banquettes and the teal carousel . Another recreation of an important piece by Verner Panton, the Easy Sofa from 1963 . Walls and ceilings are clad in 3D sculptural backlit wood panels . The focus of the Bar is a significant digital piece called “ENSO”- a spatial calligraphy method that expresses depth and speed of the brushstroke .

Special thanks to: My team: Erik Zang, Betina Dimaculangan, Astrid Kobus, and Chris Bergin. All of the vendors and showrooms. Everyone on the Steelblue team. Everyone on the 2021 San Francisco Decorator Showcase Committee.

Our room was inspired by the ever changing colors of the sky, hills and water of the bay . We wanted to create a family gathering space that took advantage of the beautiful San Francisco vistas while being focused on comfort, family conversation and handcrafted one of a kind furnishings .

Nestled high above San Francisco, this bedroom is designed to be a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of city life . A cozy palette of dark paint and natural materials combine with clean lines and soft layers, to create a sense of calm and stillness . CATHERINE Storage spaces are tucked behind the folding doors of the fireplace KWONG wall . The gallery neatly houses artwork and books in the entry hallway; a place for everything and everything in its place . What remains are spaces for intentional moments: sitting down to read with a cup of tea; fireside meditation; and, of course, a hushed and peaceful place to drift off among the clouds .

The spacious, spa-like bathroom is an extension of the adjoining bedroom, and continues the serene aesthetic of the suite . Swaths of plaster walls and tall oak closet doors are grounded by reclaimed stone tiles on the floor . A sculptural stone bathtub sits next to a CATHERINE large walk-in shower with a fixed panel of fluted glass and faceted KWONG bronze fixtures are used throughout . But the main focal point of this room is the view . The large window looks out over the city and provides plenty of natural light . San Francisco makes the perfect backdrop to the vanity, which sits on a custom bronze stand and features a large marble countertop and floating mirrors . Vintage copper pendants and glass sconces provide a glow of light, and the combined effect sets the scene for bathing as ritual .

Teen life plays out in liminal space—the bedroom a refuge, but foreseeably temporary: a room for the time being . Teenagers, too, are time beings . Hyper-present in a multiverse of futures, they both are and will be . An atmospheric mixtape of modernist design and contemporary artistic influences, the Time Being Bedroom is speculative fiction for teens—a portal for becoming . Sited in a 1960s high-rise completed the same year the Telstar 1 launched into orbit, transforming global communication, the room radiates a cool, retro-futuristic aesthetic as a radical rejection of the parents’ minimalist sensibility and the structural stoicism of the building . Each design detail is itself a satellite—placed intentionally, a mode for self-expression . Lofted far above the horizon, the Time Being Bedroom cuts a sharp yet sophisticated edge in tonal mint with shocks of neon red and gasps of turmeric . Bleached walnut accents temper turned metal, terrazzo, and concrete, with youthful outbursts of acrylic and powder-coated finishes, set off with unexpected custom textiles . A high-concept collision of what’s past and what’s possible, it’s the realm of teenage rebellion, resilience, and fearless exploration .

Special thanks to: Thank you to the Chroma design team, the Decorator Showcase Committee, The San Francisco University High School staff, and Steelblue for bringing this teenage dream to virtual life. The future is bold and bright.

Ambient light cascading from a skyward void casts an ethereal mood in the Libertine Bathroom, as subtle mint coheres with coolly tinted terrazzo to articulate the space . Powder-coated metal playfully distorts the austerity of minimalist sculpture, torquing smoothly to define the shower and to form the vanity . Elegant design details with vintage origins—a wooden vessel with Brazilian modernist influences, an asymmetrical midcentury-inspired mirror and sconce—balance the vulnerability of youthful contemporary photography . An unexpected utility for the uncommon teen, the Libertine Bathroom transforms daily routines into uniquely euphoric experiences .

Shoshin from Zen Buddhism means “beginner’s mind .” The concept holds that those who approach life with few preconceptions will be open to new ideas and perspectives . As Amara transitions into Shoshin, the enveloping white plaster calms her mind and opens her spirit . Her toes touch the oak floor, grounding her, as the circular orb by Emil Lukas, reminds her that we’re all a little celestial . The Tibetan singing bowls reverberate as she focuses forward, fusing the balancing power of the smokey quartz crystals, with the human manifestations of Buddha . As she transitions from Meditation to Yoga to Pilates, her mind traverses her body’s curves like the hanging fabric that mimics the topography of hilly San Francisco . As her workout ends and clarity is gained, Amara leaves a few minutes to sit in the sun room, suspended in her swinging chairs by Dedon . The sunlight provides photosynthesis both to her and the surrounding plants as she greets the morning, a new day with new possibilities - a beginner again . It’s funny how sometimes the smallest of rooms can lead to the greatest expanse .

Special thanks to: All of our friends and family, who support us each and every day. Our partners, Niles Lichtenstein and Cory Bradley - for their support and belief in us, and for being wonderful fathers to our kids. To our children - Brooklyn, Evie, Apollo, & Baby L- you are our “why”, and inspire and push us every single day. We hope we are doing you proud.
