Couture T H E A R T O F

Couture Born from a modest beginning of selling raw frames in Los Angeles, celebrated furnishings atelier Nancy Corzine merges the disciplines of design, manufacturing and upholstery, executing time-honored craftsmanship with a deft and capable touch. “I often comment that we are a dinosaur company; we manufacture the old-fashioned way,” enthuses the firm’s founder Nancy Corzine. “Our manufacturing, finishing and upholstery are all done by hand. I imagine you would describe us as a dying breed that is very much alive.” Entering its third decade, Nancy Corzine has now grown to encompass three distinct showrooms in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago, as well as representation in 14 other furnishing purveyors’ showrooms across the country. Corzine, who started the business in 1983 from a tiny showroom on Robertson Boulevard, Los Angeles, anticipated the firm to be a “small retirement business.” Never did she expect such a tremendous response to the high-quality and high-design pieces for which her eponymous firm has become known.

To continually create beautiful things, there must be passion. It is absolutely the most important ingredient.

— NANCY CORZINE

INSPIRED COUTURE Inspiration is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s the Palace of Versailles or the Chrysler Building, I’m inspired by everything around me.

ARTISANAL TENETSThe attention to detail in design, manufacturing, finish-ing, gilding and upholstery is always our highest priority. Our goal is to create the antiques of tomorrow that will live through many generations.

AN EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCEOur ability to take each day as a new opportunity and work as a team to achieve our goals empowers us all to accomplish yet one more seemingly impossible task, bringing us ever closer to perfection.

Entering its sixth decade as a renowned decorative fi xture and hardware atelier, the house of Tétard-Haudiquez-Grisoni (THG®-Paris) exists solely to perfect the art of refi ned living for the bath. Based near Normandy, France, THG is celebrated around the world for its exquisite, handcrafted collections of faucets and accessories.

ARTISAN CRAFTSMANSHIPUsing traditional methods passed down through generations, THG’s French artisans craft one-of-a-kind pieces. The process, both artistic and technical, requires knowledge and experience fueled by commitment and passion. Each piece is handled with care and meticulously crafted, inspected and fi nished to perfection.

UNIQUE AESTHETICSTHG’s collections vary in style, from traditional to contemporary. They craft both individually with their in-house design team and in collaboration with esteemed design houses and high-end crystal and tabletop houses. Inspired by the American Industrial Revolution, two of THG’s newest collections incorporate the look of industrial pipe, fi ttings and raw iron.

AN EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCEApparent in every detail, the THG difference is experienced by the senses. The eyes linger over the clarity and sparkle of fi ne gems and metal fi nishes while the hand tests the weight and strength of a well-crafted handle. To the touch, each sculptural handle feels smooth and soft, providing a tactile feast and a luxurious sensory experience.

tile of Laminam® by Crossville at 1m x 3m. Cut it as large—or small—as you

like, and tile over your existing tile for an easy remodel. At just 3 to 5.6mm

thick, you can be courageous and think bigger about your next project.

It’s a simple yet thought-provoking question, and one that triggers an exceedingly personal reply: What is luxury? For this issue, we took our lead from the Victoria and Albert Museum of London’s recent exhibition, “What is Luxury,” a methodically edited show that set out to defi ne the meaning of luxury while also attempting to predict its future. We surveyed some of the industry’s top designers to weigh in on the subject; read their take in our “Radar” section.

As editors of this magazine, we are tasked with exploring, curating and reporting on luxury for the home. It’s an elusive concept and each of us identifi es the theme with our own slightly skewed lens. We speak with designers and architects, direct home shoots, head o� to design shows and preview the latest collections. Back at our o� ces, we deliberate on what we see and hear, sharing ideas with much back-and-forthing; always, our prism shaped around luxury.

So, what is luxury when it comes to design? Is it covering your walls in Fortuny silk, a summer home in East Hampton, a handcrafted Baccarat onyx crystal chandelier? Or is luxury the ability to say no; to say yes? I believe luxury is purposed as a catchphrase for selectiveness, for meaningful experiences and anything precious that you’d never discard, for time, for a jolt of beauty, for objects with a sense of purity and for the small-batch handmade, for unstudied style. Luxury is about the details.

LUXURY DEFINED…

In May, we partnered on an event at The Clayton on the Park hotel with Sub-Zero and Wolf as they announced the Southwest regional winners for their nationwide Kitchen Design Contest. The national winners will be announced this fall in Scottsdale. Also in May, the Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS celebrated its 20th anniversary at the annual Night for Life gala, where it honored signifi cant contributors that have impacted awareness and shown ongoing support for the center for the past 20 years. I was very humbled to be recognized that evening along with Scott Burdick of Wiseman & Gale Interiors. Enjoy the issue!

THE INSIDERS

2 THE SCULPTORTOM BOLLINGER

Having a moment:Roxy Paine is really nailing it right now. His traditional Dendroids are spectacular in terms of scale, material and engineering, and typically cannot be ignored. I also love Scottish artist Andy Scott’s work, especiallyhis The Kelpies series.

Can’t get enough of…Artist Tom Sachs. His new work always intrigues me and he creates in so many materials and directions with no self-limitations; so, there’s always something to grab your interest.

On your radar:The new director of the Phoenix Art Museum, Amada Cruz, is a welcome change, as is Sara Cochran being named the director of SMoCA. Both bring vast contemporary art experience and connections to their organizations. I’m also looking forward to the International Sculpture Conference, which is coming to Arizona in November.

Shop ’til you drop:When I’m not in the studio and in the mood for shopping, I like to check out Kierland Commons, Scottsdale Fashion Square, and the swap meet at 44th Street and Washington in Phoenix. You can fi nd the most remarkable things there.

What’s trending?The art industry, as a whole, will continue along the path of the shift to art fairs as the major venues for marketing and socializing. I look forward to the return of more regional markets as the art economy recovers.

Don’t miss:Louise Bourgeois’ Art is a Guaranty of Sanity at the Phoenix Convention Center is a site to behold. It’s my favorite public art installation in the city, hands down.

1 THE ARTISANMEIR ZENATI

What’s intriguing you in design?Everyone is going back to basics: Antiques are now in tune with the modern world and reclaimed items are often being touted as contemporary.

Having a moment:Costume designer Han Feng is exceptional. She has a background in fashion and a wonderful appreciation for color, which is clearly depicted in her amazing collection of rugs for Tai Ping.

Can’t get enough of:Safdie Architects fi nds a way to incorporate the local aesthetic in contemporary settings that never fail to become landmarks of the place they’re built in. My favorite example is the Mamilla Hotel in Jerusalem.

On your radar:I enjoy watching old cities turn a new leaf, such as Brooklyn, downtown Los Angeles and Shoreditch, London. Millennials and the creative class are moving into formally high-crime neighborhoods and changing the way we think of them. These neighborhoods are now hubs for galleries, design innovations, tech and culture.

Best-selling item in inventory:Our hand-painted tiles take the cake. We’ve been handcrafting custom terra-cotta tiles one piece at a time since 2000; they truly embody artisan craftsmanship and beauty. They’re appealing to our clients because there are endless possibilities with regards to color selection, size and detailing.

Shop ’til you drop:The Scottsdale Quarter is one of my favorite places. It’s attractive with beautiful grounds, including a nice park area with shaded trees. While my family shops, I’m able to enjoy a cup of co¥ ee, get on Wi-Fi and people-watch.

Meir Zenati is the creative director behind Scottsdale’s Tabarka Studio. When he isn’t waxing poetic on the terra-cotta tiles the company creates, he’s busy baking bread and imagining the original Piero Fornasetti vintage piece he’d love to own someday.

Images: Counterclockwise from top: Tabarka Studio’s o¥ erings capture the delicate beauty of terra cotta thanks to careful handcrafting and artisanry. Tom Bollinger’s large-scale works in steel and cast bronze are statement-making both in terms of size and in their interesting proportions.

NEW+NOWGET TO KNOW FOUR ARIZONA INFLUENCERS AS THEY SHED LIGHTON WHAT’S OF THE MOMENT IN DESIGN, ART AND ARCHITECTURE.

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

Up next:I’m wrapping up a series based on my interpretation of the relationship of the self to the whole, as it were—mostly using bronze, Lucite and light. My next series, though, will be more organically inspired, but both are refl ective of my sensitivity to nature.

Tom Bollinger is a prolifi c artist and the owner and operator of Bollinger Atelier, a specialized casting and fabrication studio for contemporary artwork in Tempe. To him, the most beautiful building in the state is Frank Lloyd Wright’s Arizona Biltmore.

THE INSIDERS


3 THE ENTREPRENEUR TIM MCELLIGOTT

Ones to watch: Arizona artists Lauren Strohacker and Kendra Sollars, of Animal Land, are really making a name for themselves. Their company sits right at the intersection of creative documentary, environmental activism and video-installation art, and has already exhibited with Scottsdale Public Art, Phoenix Art Museum and at the Arizona Biennial in Tucson.

Hip hood: It seems like every day Phoenix tastes better, sounds better and looks better; it’s incredible. People are building, innovating and developing. I live on Roosevelt Row, and it feels like there is new construction in nearly every direction. There’s a burgeoning density that brings with it more resources, amenities, vitality and tourism.

For the design-obsessed: There is just so much here that is worth visiting, but first thing’s first: Be sure to plan some time to explore Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West, the ASU Gammage auditorium and the David & Gladys Wright House. Phoenix Urban Design Week and Modern Phoenix Week are also must-sees.

Take it to the streets: There are some really incredible public art installations in town right now. If you have the time, take in Janet Echelman’s Her Secret is Patience in Civic Space Park, the Tempe Town Lake Pedestrian Bridge (be sure to go at night), and the James Turrell installations at SMoCA, ASU Tempe and Phoenix Art Museum.

What’s trending? More than ever, we are seeing an increased demand for locally produced original art that gives an impression of the artists’ surroundings and establishes a very concrete sense of place. This trend not only supports the local arts community, but it is also becoming a point of pride where inhabitants of the city can bring these pieces into their homes and be reminded of why they love their city so much.

The perfect day is… A daytime hike up Camelback mountain, followed by a visit to the Desert Botanical Garden and a stroll through the Musical Instrument Museum. There would also be shopping at Stinkweeds and Practical Art, finished o¤ by dinner at Tuck Shop and then watching the sun dip below the horizon from the roof of the Clarendon Hotel.

Tim McElligott is the owner and founder of Phoenix startup Curator Engine, whose mission is to connect local artists with clients and community partners. When he’s not working to make a di�erence in the art world, he’s fueling a secret passion for backpacking in third-world countries and Annie Leibovitz.

4 THE ARCHITECT KEVIN B. HOWARD

What’s intriguing you now? New technology in glass and synthetic material. Frank Gehry’s new Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris is a great example of the cutting-edge looks that can be achieved with the latest innovations, like the new ultraviolet-blocking glass from Italian company Sunglass s.r.l.

On your radar: I recently went to the opening show of an artist named Robert Barber at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tucson. He was raised here in the city and has been painting his entire life, but no one has ever seen it. He’s 93 years old now, and he’s just phenomenal.

Material of the moment? There are these large porcelain sheets that have come on the market recently that I’m dying to use on a project. They can be used on floors or walls, and they make the typical tile grid completely disappear. It’s really promising.

I’ve always wanted to be tasked with... Designing a truly excellent bus stop. There are so many of them in Tucson that are just uncomfortable and not visually pleasing in the least. I’d want to build a series of these structures that would not only provide suitable shade, but also be so cool-looking that they would inspire people to ride the bus.

Don’t miss: If I had just one day to spend in Tucson, I’d do it in Sabino Canyon or Mount Lemmon. When people come here, it’s because they’re drawn to the beauty of the Sonoran Desert. I, myself, am constantly inspired by it both personally and in my architecture work.

Ones to watch: I love working with the landscape designers at The Garden Gate. Trevor Johansen and Trey Gers are very talented and completely genre defying. I also love Plants of Distinction for specialty flora that you can’t find anywhere else.

Kevin B. Howard is the founder and principal of an eponymous architecture firm in Tucson. Many would be surprised to know that although he calls the desert home, he’s an avid surfer, taking yearly sojourns to California in an attempt to catch the perfect wave.

Images: From top: Works like Stratum by Zachary John Valent and Pipeline by artist Lara Plecas are examples of the art available from local talents on curatorengine.com. A peek at some recent projects from architect Kevin B. Howard’s contemporary desert portfolio.

THE SCIENCE OF

LUXURYTHE VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM’S INTRIGUING “WHAT IS LUXURY?” EXHIBIT STIMULATED OUR OWN THOUGHTS AND CONVERSATIONS ON DECODING THAT VERY QUERY.WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY CARA GIBBS AND ARLYN HERNANDEZ

COM_LXSO15_126

COM_LX3_Radar_WhatIsLuxury_126-132.indd 126 7/16/15 1:50 PM

Answering the question of what luxury is proves to be a much more complex task than one would imagine. On the surface, the widely accepted denotation

of the word skews toward the ornate, high-priced, limited-edition, but perhaps distilling luxury down to just a prescribed set of words is not the best course to chart. It is rather an idea that shapes to who you are, what you like, where you live…even when you live.

For its provocative exhibit “What is Luxury?” (through September 27), the Victoria and Albert Museum in London questions, challenges and explores this concept through the eyes of curators Jana Scholze and Leanne Wierzba, who peel back the layers of the obvious to unveil that, in fact, luxury is established and molded within certain parameters—time, setting and individual preference. The show, which promises to “interrogate ideas of luxury today…and address how luxury is made and understood in a physical, conceptual and cultural capacity,” analyzes the evolving perception of the notion. A jewel-encrusted, solid-gold crown fashioned for 18th-century Portuguese royalty gets just as equal value as a plastic object created within the confi nes of a fi ctional future where the now commonplace material is heralded as a rarity.

In answer to the museum’s general call on the subject, we asked design industry vets to interpret their own meaning of luxury, and what we discovered was a common thread: Luxury is an impression, a moment in time, space, experience, the undeniable pleasure of something well-made. It’s the softness and warmth of walnut; the beauty in the imperfect hand-made light fi xture; the truly one-of-a-kind artifact brought back from a worldly excursion. Luxury goes beyond the fundamental to a place of the exclusive and the extraordinary. Read on and ponder your own defi nition.

RADAR / 5 MINUTES WITH

Beauty matters: I was not a textile expert before starting my company and the whole thing began by mistake really: I just wanted to produce beautiful things and see if I could sell them. So, I left my home in South Africa for Brussels, where I garnered a tremendous wealth of knowledge on linen, silk, cashmere and tailoring techniques, and from there, my passion developed into so much more than I could have ever imagined.

A love of linen: It’s obvious I fell in love with linen. Aside from it being the oldest fiber known to man, linen is also such a versatile material; it can take on many forms. There’s quite a debt in the market when it comes to linen because it’s a di cult material to work with. Anything natural possesses imperfections in the fibers, and that’s precisely what I like to use. Linen can also achieve perfection if pushed. It’s a fabric that can go from acutely raw to highly luxurious—what’s not to love about that?

Creative process: Mine is a fluid one, but not a perfect science; it shifts depending upon my current muse or inspiration. One constant, though, are my drawings—I sketch everything by hand to convey an idea. When the idea is ready, I work very closely with each mill and artisan to create a new product. I’m also a believer in creating change through a contrast of textures—an enduring combination has been my heavy Bu�alo linen alongside the very delicate Feather Cashmere.

Life in Windsor: I absolutely love it! It’s just far enough from the hustle and bustle of London and flush with history: My studio lives in famed Mistress Page’s House, steps from Windsor Castle; it’s so easy to be constantly inspired in such an environment.

Greatest luxury: Spending time on the banks of Africa’s Zambezi River, where mobile phones and hair dryers don’t work, and having nothing more on the to-do list than a long hike in the brush.

What’s next: I’ve recently noticed a lot of buzz around organic, natural materials and how the artisans’ hands are more noticeable in the product. For de Le Cuona, this has always been the mantra. That being said, I never ignore modern machinery, because mixing handmade and modern techniques creates something entirely dynamic with a fresh perspective—that’s the future.

RADAR / REVIEW

The husband-and-wife duo behind design firm Carrier and Company may be self-admitted bohemians, though you wouldn’t be quick to make that guess from a peek at their vast portfolio of high-profile clients: think Anna Wintour and Jason Wu, amongst many other fashion greats. Their first foray in the world of publishing, entitled Carrier and Company: Positively Chic Interiors, invites you into the expertly eclectic and all-parts covetable spaces that they’ve dreamed up since they launched their firm in 2005. Here, Jesse Carrier and Mara Miller chime in on their weaknesses, Italian muses and—what else?—having the illustrious Annie Leibovitz shoot their family portrait.

FOR THEIR FIRST BOOK OUT THIS FALL, DESIGNERS JESSE CARRIER AND MARA MILLER SHOWCASE A DECADE OF THEIR CELEBRATED CREATIONS.

WRITTEN BY LACY MORRIS PRODUCED BY ARLYN HERNANDEZ

IN GOODCOMPANY

Above: Jesse Carrier and Mara Miller of New York’s Carrier and Company pictured in their Manhattan studio. Top right: The couple’s signature mix of textures and patterns is served up in this inviting living room.

JESSE CARRIER ON...ANNA WINTOUR: She is the cornerstone of Carrier and Company: She was our first client and is still our biggest patron. We did her o�ce at 4 Times Square and at 1 World Trade Center, her house in the country and subsequent guest cottages, her kids’ dorm rooms, their first apartments and second apartments…it’s an ongoing relationship.

FINDING THEIR CLIENTS’ VOICES: Our process generally begins with an interview in their current home, where we pick up from the visual clues and figure out what their tolerances are. Then they’ll come to the o�ce and we’ll put out piles of fabrics in very loose schemes and say, “Throw on the floor what you don’t like.” They start telling us what it reminds them of; their history starts to come out.

PERSONAL STYLE: We’re terribly practical people. When left to our own devices, we fall under the category of bohemian glamour. That’s code for organic, light and easy, and a little bit humble and little bit thrift store.

WEAK SPOTS: I’m a big sucker for painted furniture. I found this Swedish drop-front desk that’s not the traditional Swedish blue-gray but rather a funny tomato orange color with a weird green interior; I just thought it was the prettiest thing I’d ever seen.

OBJECT ENVY: It’s incredible to think about where our clients have been and what their eyes have seen. They have such amazing collections; Annie’s photography or Anna’s weird Clarice Cli£ pottery. They’re like little house museums.

MARA MILLER ON...ANNIE LEIBOVITZ: Annie is very astute. When we met to shoot our family portrait, she had already studied basically every image of us her o�ce could find. She had analyzed our wardrobe and knew what she wanted us to wear. It was remarkable to work with someone at that level of professionalism. She pieces together personality, point of view and purpose in her camera work.

PLAYING THE MIND GAME: There’s a lot of psychology behind design. Everyone has insecurities, aspirations and fantasies, but it’s very hard for people to express what they want the house to portray about them. It really teaches us a lot when clients don’t like sheen or dump anything that’s a silk or sateen; some hate heavy things and reject any velvet or mohair. It starts to show us what they want the project to say.

THEIR NEW BOOK: We pride ourselves on being able to fulfill di£erent aesthetics, which is how we ultimately decided to structure the book. You’ll see that when we do traditional work, this is what it’s like. When we do country work, this is what we think about, etc.

GETTING INSPIRED: We absorb a lot through magazines and movies. We’ve been to Italy twice and there are still things that I take away from there—the color of the sunlight, the amount of texture in all the materials, the energy.

ART: It’s so emotional and energetic. I don’t like to know the backstory, what makes the artist important or what they were thinking…all the stu£ that a collector wants to know. It ruins it for me. We pick things that feel good or resonate, not based o£ the name. It’s not always expected. PO

Fashion leader Oscar de la Renta’s legacy for making women look and feel beautiful has long since made its way o� the runway and into our homes. This fall, by way of a powerhouse partnership with Portuguese porcelain brand Vista Alegre, this same sensibility has taken the form of fi ne china. “Vista Alegre is a company with an incredible legacy,” says Carolina Irving, creative director at Oscar de la Renta Home. “The collaboration between us has been such a fascinating process.” Named after Irving herself, the Carolina collection takes its distinctive pattern directly from a gown designed for de la Renta’s Spring 2006 runway collection. “What’s so great about the scheme is that we were able to lift individual prints from the dress to be applied to the tabletop pieces,” recalls Irving. “I spent two days in the factory exploring the archives with the Vista Alegre team. We took a versatile pattern and together we reinterpreted it in a fresh and beautiful way.” The full-range dinner service is characterized by fl oral motifs and boasts a vibrant coral hue—one of the late fashion designer’s favorites. “Coral has always been a classical color used in 18th-century china,” adds Irving. “The goal was to revisit something antique and translate it to modern times with Oscar’s unmistakeable eye.”

Luxury design is embedded in Romeo Sozzi’s DNA. “I’m a third-generation cabinetmaker,” says the founder and president of Italian furniture fi rm Promemoria. “I grew up in the family workshop, learning from my father and grandfather.” In 1988, after clients began requesting custom items, Romeo conceived Promemoria. “I wanted to o� er people the pieces they couldn’t fi nd on the market.” Today, the prestigious brand’s manufacturing methods would seem familiar even to the Sozzi family’s 19th-century forbearers, who made their living as coachmakers for the local nobility. “We don’t have stock and our production is not industrial; everything is handmade here in Italy, often customized and done in limited editions,” says Romeo, who has continued his family’s generational infl uence by bringing aboard his sons Stefano, Davide and Paolo. Beyond his hands-on strategy, Romeo approaches design holistically. “A product is not just an object; it’s an experience,” he points out. “I use fragrant woods like cypress for the inside of cabinets to ignite the sense of smell, and there’s nothing like caressing a velvet chair to rouse the sense of touch.” For inspiration, Romeo ranges widely, fi nding it equally in the landscape of his home near Lake Como and further afi eld (a recent collection drew from Asian philosophy). While grounded in centuries-old traditions, Romeo continues to hone his vision and practices. “Last year, we introduced alabaster for lampshades as well as a process that combines strips of leather in di� erent colors that resembles stacked wood,” he reports. This year, they showed cabinets and tables inlaid with bronze fl ecks reminiscent of stars scattered across the night sky. Even the fi rm’s name—a Latin term meaning “for the sake of memory”—suggests the brand’s impulse to look to both the future and the past as the business continues to evolve. “I call my company Promemoria because I understand it as a memory of past traditions, which has a fundamental role in my work,” says Romeo. Adds Paolo, “Though our philosophy changes a little every day to move forward, we still follow the memory.”

FOR BEC BRITTAIN, ENGINEERING LIGHT FIXTURES DESIGNED TO PUZZLE AND AMAZE IS AN INNATE PROCESS THAT CONTINUES TO ILLUMINATE HER PATH. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY CARA GIBBS PHOTOGRAPHY BY RENÉ CERVANTES

THE SHAPE OF THINGS

“I have always thought with systems and structure in mind,” explains New York-based bespoke lighting designer Bec Brittain, whose latest introductions fall perfectly in line with her distinct geometric body of work. Debuting at this year’s ICFF was Zelda (shown above), which, like many of Brittain’s creations, is highly versatile. “Zelda’s flexible form can be fashioned in a simple single diamond formation, arranged concentrically in geometric orbits or fit together like the links of a chain,” she says. “I initially had a few ideas for configuration during the sketch process, but now that we have the parts in-house and can play with them, new ideas start to reveal themselves.” Proving that design is anything but linear, Zelda’s powerful persona shows o� Brittain’s classic trademark of fusing

cutting-edge technology alongside sculptural shapes conveyed in sleek materials. “Clearly, I love brass,” states the designer. “And, Zelda’s juxtaposition of the brass-encased LED tubing with the gracefully suspended planar forms adapts to a vast array of spaces and sensibilities. I just love the freedom of lighting design, in that I have so much room to play sculpturally.” Indeed, with both architecture and philosophy in her degree repertoire, Brittain’s translation of light is uniquely her own and unquestionably a subject of intrigue among the rest of the industry. Currently, the creative Brooklynite is expanding her reach —with her new Los Angeles outpost opening this fall—bridging her forward-thinking point of view from coast to coast.

They produce unique and astonishing artists—including Angela Ellsworth, a multidisciplinary creative whose work includes drawing, sculpture, installation, video and performance; Matthew Moore, a fourth-generation farmer, whose agricultural art makes use of his land and resources; and Annie Lopez, whose compelling photography and dress installations reflect her family and personal life. We have an abundant arts scene here, with a lot of galleries, artist spaces and museums. Arizona State University has a large and well-respected art school that adds to the mix, too, bringing in new ideas and fresh blood to the area.” -SARA COCHRAN, SMOCA.ORG

When will you open? Our new location at Kierland Commons in Scottsdale opens September 18, and our Phoenix location in Biltmore Fashion Park opens October 30. On the floor? We work with vendors from all over the world who make exclusive collections for Arhaus—from sofas, sectionals and chairs to dining tables, bookcases and media centers. We also o§er bedroom and o¨ce furniture, pillows, tableware, rugs, lighting and more. What makes Arhaus di�erent? Our attention to detail sets us apart. We work closely with our vendors on every aspect, from the design to the manufacturing of each piece, to ensure it meets our standards for quality. Such details as hand-painted and distressed finishes, hand-hammered copper and 8-way, hand-tied upholstery make our products unique. Describe the space. Both locations have skylights (We love letting in natural light!) and a river rock fireplace that is signature to Arhaus, as well as the standard chair wall, which displays dining seats of every style, size and shape. Hand-painted murals and treatments throughout both stores will capture our fall caravan theme—replete with color and global inspirations. arhaus.com

The aftermath of a large insect hatch following a monsoon became an unexpected and life-

altering phenomenon for artist Alan Bur Johnson. “I was mesmerized when I witnessed thousands of iridescent wings fall from the sky, spiraling gently to the earth,” he shares.

This transcendent event became the focal point for his largest body of work, Swarms. Using specimens he fi nds beneath the doormat of his Jerome

studio entrance, Johnson endeavors to capture the transitory nature of life. “My

work is equal parts poetic documentation and scientifi c inquiry, addressing fl eeting life cycles, the passage of time and an awareness of my own brief existence,” he says. Here, we delve into the mind of this existential artist to discover how his view of the world translates into his dynamic installations. alanburjohnson.com

What led you to become an artist? My parents incorporated nature and art into all aspects of my youth. My father was an architect and artist; his blueprints and spare aesthetic clearly infl uenced my artistic vision. My mother would take my siblings and me on nature quests, collecting specimens along the way. Once home, I would take out my pencils and start drawing what I collected and remembered.

Describe your aesthetic vision.As a child, I was engrossed with the transparency overlays found in educational textbooks. After a while, I began creating my own transparencies, fi nding that not

only was I able to alter my subjects by layering multiple images, but I also became fascinated by the colored shadows cast upon the wall; add a gentle breeze and the subjects suddenly came to life.

Share your artistic process.Swarms is a series of sculptural photographic installations comprised of hundreds of unique transparent images printed on acetate. Images of deteriorated feathers and insect wings are layered and encased in circular metal frames of varying sizes, then mounted on the wall with dissection pins in complex, mapped compositions that reference

swarms of insects, fl ocks of birds and related natural phenomena. All of my work is handled like a dissection. Whatever the initial inspiration or source material, it becomes a multitude of physical fragments that I study intensively before meticulously restructuring.

Why Jerome?A series of fortunate fl ukes led me to Jerome in 1993. It felt quite dusty and derelict back then. My work then had a similar feel—everything I created looked like it came out of an antiquated, abandoned lab. Now, Jerome has a new polish yet still speaks of past lives. I could say the same of my work.

@avestyles#INSTACRUSH

WHO: Wardrobe stylist and art director of A.V.E. Styles, Alex Evjan is a Phoenix-based fashion blogger and Pinterest infl uencer.

WHAT: Evjan’s simple and feminine style stands out against the fl urry of creative vignettes that brand her Instagram feed. From beauty to fashion, her images play with light and color to capture the imagination.

WHY: Evjan keeps her posts authentic, carefully selecting each shot with attention to detail and tagging every image with a personal note. Through her lens, Evjan highlights inspirational moments and swoon-worthy outfi ts for the fashion forward.

IN HER WORDS: “The images on my feed are a mix of camera and phone shots. I use VSCO and Afterlight to edit my photos, but now that Instagram has added more editing features, I enjoy using the new options to enhance my snapshots.”

BLUEPRINTSKYSONG

The ASU Scottsdale Innovation Center, better known as SkySong, is home to a global business community, which will soon be served by a 12,000-square-foot multi-restaurant project. The fi rst eatery, a 4,500-square-foot farm-to-table concept, will be located on the northeast corner of Scottsdale Road and SkySong Boulevard. Expected to break ground in January 2016, the restaurant will also include a landscaped garden with plenty of room for dining patios and public open spaces. A 45-foot cantilevered overhang made of translucent panels will provide ambient lighting and protection from the sun. Michael Rumpeltin of Brick & West is responsible for the modern architecture, which calls for the use of glass partitions that allow for unimpeded views of the gardens. skysongcenter.com

DATE BOOKCARRIE MARILL

Visual artist Carrie Marill, a San Francisco transplant in the Valley of the Sun, is known for her meticulous patterned paintings and mixed-media work. Taking her cues from Native American weavings, American quilts and Japanese scrolls, some of Marill’s more famous works explore a print technique often associated with the likes of Alexander Calder, Agnes Martin and Philip Guston. Among her creative outlets, Marill also develops large-scale outdoor murals and currently helps run Combine Studios, a residency program for international artists in downtown Phoenix. Check out her itinerary for a leisurely Friday in Phoenix’s art district. carriemarill.com; combinestudios.com

9 a.m. Meet for co� ee at Songbird Co� ee & Tea House on Roosevelt Row in downtown Phoenix. Their delectable fresh pastries are made in-house daily, and they o� er a wide variety of loose-leaf teas.

10 a.m. Take a stroll around the Japanese Friendship Garden and bask in the tranquil and beautiful setting. They have more than 50 varieties of plants, stone footbridges, a 12-foot waterfall and an amazing koi pond with more than 300 colorful koi.

11 a.m. Just o� 6th Street, you’ll fi nd one of my favorite go-to stops in Phoenix, GrowOp. Its mix of local, handmade, old-fashioned and cultured utilitarian items is thoughtfully curated; plus, the shop itself is a gem. Also, check out the vintage boutiques around the shop for some unique fi nds.

12 p.m. A brief walk down Roosevelt Street will leave you right in front of Short Leash, one of my favorite hot dog places; or pop into Hanny’s for some great American fare—it’s a quiet lunch spot, and the food is always solid. I like the gorgonzola slaw, the beet salad and the Faccia di Vecchia pizza.

1 p.m. Buy a handcrafted gift for a friend at Made Art Boutique. They carry a constantly changing inventory of local artisan crafts from jewelry to pottery to fun greeting cards.

2 p.m. Grab an ice cream at Melt and tour the impressive murals on Roosevelt Row; you can take in the city’s best street art there.

3 p.m. Vintage lovers will rejoice after fi nding out that Antique Sugar recently moved their shop to 2nd Street. There, you can fi nd some sweet threads and accessories from bygone eras.

4 p.m. Check out the super-smart exhibitions at ASU’s gallery in downtown Phoenix at Combine Studios. Melinda Bergman and Beatrice Moore are two local women artists who are wonderfully inspiring.

6 p.m. Round o� the evening with a Peruvian dinner at El Chullo. Try the fi sh ceviche or the Peruvian tamale for an authentic experience.

Architectural footwear brand United Nude is reinventing the way fashionistas strut in their high heels. Known for its sculptural silhouettes and advanced manufacturing processes, the company is at it again: expanding its multidimensional, rubber-molded Lo Res collection—shown in High Red, Metallic Silver and Blossom—by incorporating malleable chromed-fi nishing technologies into some of its designs. And thanks to 3D Systems, the label has also launched a limited-edition collaboration line with such design greats as Zaha Hadid and Ross

Lovegrove to o� er wearable 3D-printed shoes that might as well be art. In a shared expression of love for fashion and design, United Nude presented its latest styles at a pop-up shop during the recent opening of AC Hotel Miami Beach. Since both brands boast a modern mindset and European roots, the pairing was a natural step and speaks to the hotel’s expansion into the lifestyle arena. This partnership proves that if the shoe fi ts, you don’t have to just wear it—you can wear it in style. unitednude.com; ac-hotels.com

MAN'S WORLD

Personal style: Traditional with an edge. Signature look: Blazer or country jacket, shirt and tie…with scarves and boots, of course; I live in the country! Closet staples: I’m a big Tom Ford fan and his jackets are among some of my favorite pieces I own. Recent fashion score: A new pair of Thom Browne wingtip brogues. Interior philosophy: Classic timelessness always seems relevant, especially when it’s thoughtfully intermixed with modern elements in fresh ways. Design mantra: Old is the new "new." Accessory motives: They ebb and fl ow in importance to me, usually by season—more important in winter, less in summer. Splurge-worthy: Art and antiques, beautiful fabrics and luggage. Source of inspiration: The natural world around me, specifically my farm in Virginia. Never too many… Overcoats. Can’t live without… Dogs. Guilty pleasure: Dogs with overcoats. Luxury is… Things that feel good to the touch—a tactile experience. Whether rough and splintery or smooth and soft, luxury is a feeling.

Personal style: My uniform is California preppy—not to be confused with East Coast prep. Signature look: A custom shirt, hues of blue and barefoot. Closet staples: I’m a creature of habit: I’ve had my favorite topsiders resoled three times as well as a pair of Gucci loafers. Recent fashion score: A navy blue Burberry trench for all those rainy L.A. days. Interior philosophy: Traditional base fl ecked with a laid-back vibe. Design mantra: Navy is my neutral; it’s my spirit color. Accessory motives: Accents are the jewelry, the sparkle, the shine in any space, and I allocate a hefty portion of any budget towards these fi nishing touches. Recent design score: An all-blue Alex Katz lithograph; art is always worth the splurge. Indulge in… Fine linens—anything made in small runs. Leontine Linens in New Orleans is a great resource for luxury goods. Never too many… Blue checked shirts. Can’t live without… My dog Nacho. Guilty pleasure: A hot dog from Pink’s. Luxury is… Something made incredibly well and that embodies both style and timelessness. I look to small, bespoke companies as my barometer of luxury.

Personal style: Classic but diverse. Signature look: I suppose I’m known for my bow ties, but one day I may wear a runway piece from Dior Homme and the next a tailored Savile Row three-piece suit. Regardless, I tend to “dress up” everyday. Closet staple: Vintage tails from the 1920s. I found them at a consignment store and they didn’t need so much as a stich of alterations—it was as if they had been tailored just for me. Recent design score: An extraordinarily beautiful seascape painting entitled End of the Road—Provincetown 1948; it was a birthday gift to myself. Fashion mantra: Menswear is the new forefront of fashion. Never too many… Cu¡ inks! I have hundreds. Can’t live without… My custom-made croc wingtips. Guilty pleasure: Cashmere. Luxury is… The individual craftsman who has literally made something for you with his or her own hands; it is the single greatest indication of true luxury. Whether it’s a bespoke suit, custom-fi tted shoes, a made-to-measure shirt or a silk-covered sofa, having something made solely for you by a craftsperson is the greatest of luxuries.

BRAD FORD

CABINFEVERPersonal style: Earthy and fairly laid-back. Signature look: I always feel most comfortable in blue jeans, leather boots and a button-down work shirt. Closet staple: I have an old Double Ralph Lauren snap shirt that’s perfectly worn, super soft and incredibly comfortable. Recent fashion score: A handmade pair of Italian leather boots from Fiorentini + Baker. Interior philosophy: Modern with a warm soul; I love rooms that are very edited and straightforward but thoughtfully designed. Design mantra: Authenticity is the new American Dream. Splurge-worthy: I recently indulged in a beautiful wood turning by artist Joshua Vogel. Source of inspiration: The Scandinavian culture consistently strives for elegant simplicity and timeless style, and I’d like to think I do the same in my interiors. Never too many… Wood bowls—no two are ever exactly alike. Can’t live without… My Maldon sea salt. Guilty pleasure: A Friday night double feature at the local theater. Luxury is… Less about privilege and more about experience and awareness: being mindful of a beautiful sunset, sipping a good bourbon, enjoying a delicious home-cooked meal, having time o¡ and sleeping in.

Timeless SilverMasterpieces

Paul Storr Silver Soup TureenThis Regency silver tureen by Paul Storr is a remarkable example of Neoclassical silver by one of England’s most celebrated silversmiths.

He is best known for his incomparable craftsmanship and incredible attention to detail, both of which are evident in this exceptional

THE PIECE: Castle 9-01

THE DESIGNER: Jason Miller for Roll & Hill

THE INSPIRATION: The glass pieces of Castle can extend to di�erent lengths yet still remain horizontal or vertical, taking their cues from a game of chess and the rook’s ability to jump any distance but with restricted direction.

Drama: Castle is a showstopper. It is industrial by way of repetition yet sculpturally compelling and radiant. The way the light subtly glows, rather than shining brightly, is its greatest strength. Statement: Our eye immediately focuses on a “statement piece.” A dynamic shape, like that of Castle, draws you in and demands attention. Talent: O�ering a voice to the next generation of designers is vital to our industry. Young creatives today, like Jason Miller, bring new ideas and start conversations that lead to innovation. Luxury: Keen attention to the details of materiality and functionality is luxury.

Composition: The strength of the Tommy collection is in the juxtaposition of its complex texture within simple silhouettes. The pieces command attention in a soft yet stable way. Classic: The collection reminds me of European antiques markets, with the design combining influences from both classic French eras and midcentury patterns. Evolution: There is a fine balance to strike when retaining the essence of a brand and moving with the times. People live informally today, and by incorporating formal pieces into everyday life, it makes even the most ordinary tasks feel like a treat. Luxury: People will always crave formal luxuries as they create a beautiful environment to share with family and friends.

THE INSPIRATION: Hand-finished and perfectly proportioned, this solid-brass stool was inspired by the mood and aesthetic of the 1970s.

SUSANNE MARTINEZ VP OF DESIGN SFERRA

Form: The Ada stool is deceptively simple yet well-considered in terms of its materiality and design. There’s an Escher quality to the lines of the piece that makes it feel magical, and the negative space becomes essential. Material: The warmth and gleam of the polished brass is all modern sophistication and purely chic. The gold hue contrasts beautifully with the matte upholstered seat. Feel: Whimsy is a key element in keeping a brand fresh and current in today’s marketplace. Adding a moment of delight is precisely the thing that brings a collection to life. Luxury: Luxury is how something makes you feel—it’s a sensation and a quality tied to personal experience.

MARKET / SPOTLIGHT

Shape: The Fut table feels like more than a table—it sparks the imagination to focus on what isn’t there just as much as what is. It’s almost musical with its drum-like form. There’s simplicity and purity to the piece, but it still manages to intrigue you. Surprise: In today’s market, it’s important for a brand to surprise customers in a way that makes them smile. That said, it’s equally important to be thoughtful in your choices and balance a sense of whimsy with timeless silhouettes and traditional materials. Connection: Buying a piece is personal. I love objects that tell a story. I curate the rooms in my home with pieces that feel special and never buy anything that I’m not in love with. Luxury: Luxury is not something you can define; it’s something you feel.

THE DESIGNER: Livio de Simone

FIND IT FOR UPHOLSTERY: flairhomecollection.com

THE INSPIRATION: The culture, aesthetic and sartorial savvy of Capri has been a constant source of inspiration for the Italian textile designer. For Cubi 3D, the motivation was the colors of the island’s sea and sky.

FINE PRINT ANDREW MANDELL

DECORATIVE HOME VP/DMM BERGDORF GOODMAN

Muse: Before my first trip to Capri years ago, I had read about Livio de Simone and was fascinated by his vibrant use of pattern and color. Cubi 3D feels as though you are looking out of a small window on an island by the sea. Color: The way the colors interact here is so simple yet bold. The dierent tones of blue and green transport the viewer to a place of serenity. It makes me feel calm and nostalgic. Memory: The way the hues of the sea and sky come together in this motif reminds me of my glamorous grandmother in the 1970s wearing a patterned headscarf in a Cadillac convertible. Luxury: Being able to indulge in beauty is luxury.

CRAFTSMANSHIP IN THE 21ST CENTURY

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.

Q+A WITH SUN VALLEY BRONZE FOUNDERS BOB AND DEBBIE COMMONS

How do you choose your materials? What comes first—the materials or design concept?Materials are always integral to the design process. We work primarily in art-grade silicon and white bronze. Our products are sand-cast, which creates a beautiful, authentic and subtle texture on the surface of the material.

What are your influences when conceiving a piece of work?The majority of our custom work is driven by architects and designers who want a specific architectural detail to be carried throughout a project. Outside of custom work, our designs are driven by material, ergonomics and process.

Have your practices changed to keep up with new technologies?Absolutely. When Sun Valley Bronze first started 20 years ago, all patterns were made in a woodshop by hand. Today, we use 3-D modeling software and CNC milling machines. We also collaborate with Boise State University to realize some of our more complicated designs with 3-D printing technology.

Since its inception, Sun Valley Bronze has been characterized by being an innovative and dynamic business with a relentless quality-centric product strategy. The company’s style and design language has continuously evolved over the past two decades to create a leading American-made brand. Sun Valley Bronze’s design studio and manufacturing facility are creative powerhouses, blending time-honored, handcrafted practices with cutting-edge technology. “When the company first started, every pattern was created by hand,” shares Sun Valley Bronze Founder Bob Commons. “Today, we use more state-of-the-art processes, such as 3-D modeling, CNC milling and 3-D printing. These processes are used from design concept throughout manufacturing.” The evolution of an idea to a tangible, beautiful object begins with a sketch. Technology brings the drawing into brilliant, living color with 3-D modeling software. It is then sent to the CNC milling machine to create a prototype, or one of Sun Valley Bronze’s skilled artisans will create a pattern by hand. “Prototypes are field checked for functionality and how the user interacts with the piece,” Commons says. “Fine-tuning of the design generally happens by hand.” An amalgam of human artistry and technological feats, the Sun Valley Bronze brand has become synonymous with beautiful design made to the highest of standards.

“Our clients are looking for one-of-a-kind products that are designed to last.”

SAMAD

Brothers and business partners David and Malcolm Samad founded their hand-knotted rug business more than 30 years ago. Steeped in a familial legacy of hard work and strong ethics, the entrepreneurial Samads set out to create the world’s finest decorative rugs. “The foundation of our business is based on our love of beautiful carpets,” David says. “Our late father, Eric Samad, taught us the importance of running our business with integrity and establishing meaningful relationships with our manufacturers and customers alike.” Founded in New York City and now headquartered in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the company has expanded globally with offices in England and India. Known for exquisitely blended, hand-carded, handspun wools and silks, Samad’s creative processes date to antiquity—technology, while beneficial, has not been as instrumental in the creation of these meticulously crafted rugs. True to its origins, “made by hand” prevails in this ancient art form. “Essentially, making a hand-knotted rug is exactly the same today as it has been for centuries,” Malcolm says. “What has changed is the technology that allows us to see what a finished rug will look like on a computer screen even before it is woven. Reducing the trial and error factor has allowed us to focus and produce rugs that are fashion forward in both color and design.”

DESIGN DIALOGUE

Expert insight from legendary carpet purveyors David + Malcolm Samad

Best in class.“Samad uses the best handspun wools and only the finest handspun silks available,” David says.

“We will never compromise on quality. It’s the best or nothing.”

Sources of inspiration. “There are no hard and fast rules when creating a rug,” Malcolm asserts. “We start with a concept, which will in turn determine which materials and creative elements we use to enhance the design.”

The wow factor.“The most rewarding part of the rug-making process is creating stunning new collections that literally ‘wow’ people,” David says. “Creating groundbreaking designs in unique textures and color palettes sets us apart.”

HUBBARDTON FORGE

Hubbardton Forge began life in 1974 in a tiny, drafty barn in Vermont. From the beginning, the ambition was to create beautiful, inspiring, heirloom-quality pieces that would be loved. Today, equipped with more than 200 skilled craftspeople, artisans and trade professionals, Hubbardton Forge is an American classic in the realm of hand-forged lighting. “Authenticity and genuineness is the lifeblood of everything we do, from our designs and the artisans who take pride in their work, to how we treat our employees and our environment,” says Hubbardton Forge Design Director David Kitts. A design-driven company rooted in the ideals of handcraftsmanship and quality materials, Hubbardton Forge draws inspiration from a myriad of people, places and objects, with designers proficient in architecture, jewelry design, engineering and beyond. The common denominator among this blend of artisans is the passion for the forge. “Our primary muse is the steel we forge,” he says. “We are always experimenting with what can be done next with steel and other metals.” Its design process, often the result of the convergence of two paths, is guided by both the marketplace and the imagination. “First, our designs are based on trends, gaps and needs in the marketplace; the second being unique forms, shapes and concepts that may result from a variety of conditions,” Kitts says. “This often results in the beginning of a lighting design, which is then brought into a much more defined development process.”

What should we be looking for in well-made lighting fixtures?A well-made fixture should not be held together by a lot of nuts and bolts or contain many (if any) plastic components or thin-gauged stamped parts. It should have a quality of build that looks good both from a distance and close-up. The finish on the fixture should be durable and have depth.

How do you think the craft/artisan community in the U.S. has changed?The increased focus on “made in America” has both been good and bad for the craft/artisan community. It’s become a big marketing tool for many; however, we need to be careful that the authenticity is there. There is a big difference between “made” and

“assembled” in America.

How have your practices changed to keep up with new technologies?The light source is no longer secondary in the design development process but is now often the driver in the design.

1. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater home, the Planar combines hand-forged planes of steel with LED light guide technology. 2. Metal is heated in the forge to nearly 2,000 degrees F before being bent and shaped by Vermont artisans.

“We continue to grow as a domestic manufacturer in a climate where the majority of our competition is using overseas production.”

DACORTHE MARK OF THE MAKER

Established in 1948 by Stan Joseph, Dacor was founded upon the premise that innovation must matter. The Joseph family, rooted in a 50-year history in Los Angeles, California, has explored this philosophy in various forms, imposing demanding ambitions on their designers and engineers, as well as onto each other, to attempt stunning, original and technically progressive designs for residential kitchens. Their products, while varied in form and function, all maintain a strong appreciation for the end user. “We ask ourselves, ‘How will this affect the homeowner?’” shares Dacor President Steven Joseph, “ ‘Are we making the cooking experience better? Easier? Simpler?’ It’s not about technology for technology’s sake—it’s about simplifying the cooking process to make the culinary experience accessible to everyone and to empower the individual.”

HIGH-TECH + HIGH-TOUCH: DEFINING A DACOR CEO CHARLES HUEBNER GIVES INSIGHT INTO THE FAMED LA APPLIANCE FIRM

Heritage or innovation? Which speaks more to the ethos of your firm?At Dacor, it’s one in the same. From kitchen ventilation to the indoor grill to the 30" wall oven to the connected iQ oven and range, our legacy of innovation is our heritage.

Are Dacor’s products easily recognizable? Do they share any signature design elements?Yes, I think that there is a definite Dacor look: high technology encased in clean lines and sophisticated styling.

What do you regard as the greatest success of your firm to date?Dacor has introduced product firsts that have revolutionized the kitchen appliance industry. One of their most significant products was the 30" Pure Convection™, Self-cleaning Built-in Wall Oven, released in 1987. It has since become the industry standard.

“When sitting in a design session with a group of people, I think the most magical words are, ‘What if we did this…?’”

A CONVERSATION WITH BAUSMAN & COMPANY CEO CRAIG JOHNSON

From all the pieces in your collection, which is your favorite and why?My favorite piece right now is a reclaimed oak office cabinet designed by our Design Director, Dominique Daniels. It has multidimensional symmetrical and asymmetrical planes inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. I admire the texture and sculptural nuances in the presentation, as well as the hidden storage elements combined with our handcrafted iron hardware and base.

Do you have a design process? If so, what is it?We design concepts ranging from modernizing classics to executing specific project requirements from clients to working as a design incubator for local design talent.

What legacy do you wish to leave behind?I would like our furniture and the Bausman brand to be highly regarded and valued 100 years from now by multigenerations after we are no longer manufacturing. I hope that they will say: “Bausman really understood the meaning of timeless quality in manufacturing.”

BAUSMAN & COMPANY


Bausman & Company, established in 1971 by Robert Williams and Craig Johnson, began in a small atelier in Southern California. Creating custom, handcrafted, bench-made furniture for designers and dealers attending High Point Market and high-end design firms locally, Bausman & Company has become synonymous with enduring craftsmanship and design integrity. “We have remained successful in providing the highest quality bench-made furniture in the U.S. to customers who deserve and appreciate the best

products that their money can buy,” says the company’s president and CEO Craig Johnson. “We prefer to produce tomorrow’s heirlooms by successfully incorporating cutting-edge technology with old-world handmade practices.” Comprising artisans ranging from cabinetmakers to CAD engineers to craftspeople who complete a meticulous finishing process, Bausman & Company maintains a highly skilled team of professionals who average more than 20 years of refining their craft. “Our company’s continuous growth has allowed us to preserve and create jobs for artisans and craftspeople domestically producing products, ranging from one-of-a-kind items to production runs for contract and hospitality projects domestically and internationally,” Johnson says.

“We prefer the human touch and the ability to make last- minute enhancements when creative inspirations occur.”

BALDWIN HARDWARETHE MARK OF THE MAKER

An American dream fulfilled, the story of Baldwin Hardware is marked by a tireless work ethic, deft craftsmanship and ingenuity—tenets that remain the lifeblood of the company today. Established in 1946, the architectural hardware manufacturer is best known for its enduring bronze masterpieces. From the moment the material is first handled and worked, each process builds on a seven-decade-long heritage. “We have a robust design process involving many steps along the way,” says PJ Rosch, Baldwin brand manager. The transformation from the abstract to the tangible begins with the Baldwin design team as they sketch hundreds of concepts. The best are then selected for multiple rounds of refinement and market research. “We have many tools at our disposal, including rapid-prototyping and hand-sculpting tools,” she says. “Once in production, our products are handcrafted by an average of 30 people throughout the manufacturing process.” The last rounds of refinement for a Baldwin product are the most critical, as even the most infinitesimal change can alter its form and utility. “It is the last 10 percent of the design that separates us from the competition,” Rosch asserts. “It’s thrilling to see a piece of work come to life.”

“Our products are handcrafted by an average of 30 people throughout the manufacturing process.”

THREE UNIQUE BRANDS

AT THE FOREFRONT OF

TECHNOLOGY + DESIGN

Hudson Valley Lighting®

Hudson Valley released new collections that use

inlaid brass and glass alchemy, an uncommon

Italian glass-making technique that creates a rare

effect. Artisans inlay strands of brass in molten

glass vertically and horizontally while blowing it

into shape. The nearly dissolved brass strands

remain embedded within, creating bubbles that

glow once illuminated.

Troy Lighting

Perhaps the most ambitious of Troy Lighting’s is

the Aviation collection, inspired by the streamlined

curves of mid-twentieth-century aircraft. This

aerodynamic new series evokes vintage airplanes

with the modern additions of powerful lighting

design, including Mitchel Field, combining high-

performance LED technology together with

handcrafted and fabricated metalwork.

Corbett Lighting

Corbett Lighting is best known for its fashion-

forward, dramatic designs that incorporate

beautiful elements, such as natural agate,

micro-beaded jewelry chain, crystal drops and

fine porcelain. New, sculptural designs combine

with organic forms to create one-of-a-kind jewelry

for the walls and ceilings.

1. Hudson Valley Lighting’s Coolidge. The magic of brass and alchemy.

2. In the details. Master artisans carefully fabricate intricate steel

and brass.

3. Meticulous crafting in every creation results in a finish one can

appreciate from any angle.

Immersed in the lighting industry for more than 35 years, David Littman, founder and

chairman of esteemed lighting manufacturer Littman Brands, possesses an infectious

exuberance for his work and plays an integral part in creating and producing each

design to his discerning standards. “Littman Brands companies are positioned toward

the high end of the market. We don’t know how (and are not planning) to design

inexpensive lighting fixtures,” Littman asserts. “Decorative lighting used to be more

of an afterthought, and we’ve invested a lot of resources into educating consumers

about how quality lighting enhances architecture for the long-term.” The parent

company for three distinct decorative lighting brands—Hudson Valley Lighting, Troy

Lighting and Corbett Lighting—Littman Brands honors the beauty of time-honored

designs and antiques while incorporating new technology into its timeless pieces.

“Across all brands, we are always looking for new and innovative materials to enhance

our lighting designs or inspire us to create something unique,” he says. “For example,

we incorporated our high-performance LEDs into some of our latest collections,

where we actually machined important components (for displacing heat) as part of

the exposed decorative fixture.”

TROY’S MITCHEL FIELD

LED PENDANT.

“To stay on the cutting-edge of the

industry, we’re producing more

than 600 new lighting designs per

year, including a large push for

innovation in the energy-efficient,

high-performance LED space.”1

MARGE CARSONTHE MARK OF THE MAKER

Marge Carson embodies the entrepreneurial, “can-do” paradigm shift that took place during and after

WWII in the United States. In the late 1940s, Carson, formerly an interior designer, was continually

unsuccessful in her search for fine upholstery—so she decided to make it herself. Today, Marge Carson

has grown beyond the individual and into a brand name synonymous with quality and craftsmanship.

The bespoke furniture company makes bedroom, dining room, upholstery and occasional furniture,

often slightly larger in scale to proportion properly for larger homes or larger spaces. Its methods of

handcraftsmanship have been long maintained, from sketching to carving. “We are always evolving with

the times,” says Jim LaBarge, owner and CEO of Marge Carson. “However, we will continue to hand carve

rather than cast carve or machine carve, because we believe it gives the item an integrity and authenticity

not achievable by the other methods.” Upholstery, the basis on which the firm was founded, is a great

source of pride for LaBarge. “Fine upholstery starts with fabric, which often has a pattern. There are

various complexities to get these patterns to match properly and our fabric cutters and upholsters can

either flow match, two-way match or four-way match fabric depending on the shape of the item,” he

shares. “We believe our fabric matching capabilities are the finest in the furniture industry.”

DESIGN-MINDED: A CONVERSATION WITH MARGE CARSON CEO JIM LABARGE

How do you choose your materials? Which

comes first—the materials or the design?

We often design furniture with unique

materials, such as stone, shell or metal, in

mind. The materials definitely influence

our creations, both structurally and

aesthetically.

What are your values and ethics when it

comes to designing/creating?

We design for look and not for cost. A

customer is overwhelmed with choices, and

so you only have a nanosecond when they

look at your product. It either tugs at their

heartstrings or they move on.

What part of the design process excites

you the most?

It is incredibly exciting to see design ideas

become sketches, which get refined and

then turned into prototypes, which get

further refined and are then brought to

market and receive “oohs” and “aahs” and

then sell for years to delighted customers.

ROUTINE TAKES A BACKSEAT TO HIGH STYLE WHEN RICH MATERIALS AND LUXURY FIXTURES MEET IN THE HOME’S MOST PRACTICAL SPACES. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

Share your vision for this handsome space. The homeowner wanted to customize the kitchen and existing Neil Kelly lower cabinets and explore working with local artisans, so we played with the extreme facets and angles of the architecture found throughout the interiors to create one-of-a-kind elements, like the bookcase extension attached to the island.

Favorite thing about this showstopping kitchen? I particularly love the statement-making chandelier. We purchased it from Lobmeyr, a Vienna, Austria-based company that had originally designed the fixture for The Metropolitan Opera in New York over 40 years ago. It’s special and not something you get to see every day.

What makes this a luxury kitchen? Here, it’s all about the thoughtfulness, time and consideration given to each and every one of the incredible details. There’s a lot of complexity here—both in terms of f inishes and the engineering required to implement some of the designs. It’s both understated yet impactful.

There’s more to a showpiece kitchen or bathroom than materials and top-of-the-line appliances—though those obviously play a large role. Instead, it’s the details that separate a strictly functional space from one that dazzles owners and guests alike (think: a pretty modern faucet that has sparkling water on tap or a couture-inspired bathroom vanity as multifaceted as a diamond), and you don’t have to go over-the-top to make a statement. Today’s luxury means embracing and celebrating artisanal goods, particularly when they come with a well-worn patina and slight imperfections that serve as charming signs of their makers’ hand. Here, we eschew flashy formality in favor of fancy-free spaces that are big on personality.

Put down that bottle of San Pellegrino: For those with a thirst for sparkling water, Grohe’s Blue faucet o�ers up chilled, bubbly H2O on tap. Using a patented five-stage filter to eliminate impurities—like chlorine, limescale and heavy metal—in the water that is delivered to the home, and an active carbon filter to provide the perfect amount of carbonation, Grohe’s newest technology is seeking to make a dent in the estimated 38 billion water bottles that end up in landfills each year. The result is a dynamic kitchen staple that is a win for environmental enthusiasts and those with discerning palates alike. grohe.com

AHEAD OF THE CARVENew York-based woodworker Ariele Alasko recently packed up her studio in Brooklyn for co-working digs in Queens, providing a new home for her f iercely coveted handcrafted kitchen wares—from oversize walnut serving boards to soup spoons and butter knives whittled from ambrosia maple. arielealasko.com

At the beginning of this year, celebrated appliance company Aga said goodbye to its old oven staples and welcomed a whole new fleet of super-e�cient, energy-conscious ranges to its U.S. lineup. One thing that hasn’t changed? The brand’s dedication to quality cooking and good looks. agamarvel.com

FEEL THE HEATAGA DUAL CONTROL


This white-on-white kitchen by New York-based interior designer Tamara Eaton gets a serious dose of cool thanks to the custom-fabricated brass hood that takes center stage in the space. The monolithic structure sparkles against its backdrop of pristine white-glazed brick from Waterworks and functions as a nod to the home’s historic origins. “It gives the kitchen a really artistic approach,” says Eaton. “I love that the unlacquered brass finish will slowly change over time and produce a really beautiful patina as it ages, which is fitting as it recalls the brass doorknobs and hinges often found in the older town houses in this neighborhood.” tamaratoday.com

UNDER THE HOOD

The oven in this kitchen is from Lacanche; the

countertops are Danby marble from Vermont.

IMAGINE. EXPLORE. INSPIRE.



DIPPING IN

A crisp, black-and-white palette has long been a staple for überchic interiors, but this edgy bathroom by Nashville interior designer Benjamin Vandiver takes the classic color combo to new levels. Thanks to the seemingly random linework on the graphic wallpaper from Kelly Wearstler, the bathroom’s more traditional elements, such as the wood-and-marble vanity and penny-round tile fl ooring, are cast in a seriously modern light. benjaminvandiver.com

LUCK OF THE DRAW

Interior designer Kelly Hoppen recently teamed up with Australian brand Apaiser to release a new bathroom collection featuring sinuous bathtubs and vanities that take their inspiration from naturally occurring silhouettes in the environment. The Harmony tub shown here, for example, is inspired by the form of a petal from a slowly unfurling lotus fl ower. With reclaimed marble serving to craft the core of each of Hoppen’s creations, the pieces are then fi nished by hand to capture an organic feeling that transforms the bath into a spa-like oasis. apaiser.com; kellyhoppen.com

The concept behind luxury European bathroom company Maison Valentina’s newest freestand vanity is simple: No space in the home (or fi nger on the hand for that matter) should go without a little bit of sparkle. Here, the Diamond’s high-gloss fi nish and touches of gold give the piece a multifaceted appeal. maisonvalentina.net

THE LOOK / SPACEX3

This space seems to flow so freely between the indoors and outdoors. I wanted it to set the tone for the entire home; plus, the soft desert landscape called for an interior that was as welcoming as the exterior. The custom glass-and-iron door, for instance, allows you to feel as if you are both inside and out.

How did you manage such a collected vibe in this modest-sized space?If you buy what you love you will find a spot for it. This entry is the perfect example of that statement. For example, the chest’s shape, distressed wood and beautiful blue tones drew me to the piece; the mirror opens up the space, while the drapes o�er a bit of an ethnic feel; and a chair with hair-on-hide pillows brings texture to the entry. My style is all about mixing the beauty of experienced looks with a juxtaposition of accessories.

Were there any happy accidents?Yes! The best was a random trip to my most beloved antiques store, Relics. My husband decided to accompany me on this visit—although I admit it’s not a usual occurrence. I was all set to use a large wooden mirror with an interesting shape until my husband saw this mirror. As far as he was concerned, the entry would be nothing without this mirror and you know what, he was right!

What did you first notice when you undertook this project?Located in a historic area of Santa Fe, the house was clad in over-the-top Southwestern elements and influences, such as the fireplace. It was originally made up of brightly colored tiles—tons of them in fact—and it wasn’t very attractive. Too many tiles everywhere made the space seem claustrophobic. So, the clients allowed us to streamline it, helping to set the tone for the cool sophistication of the room.

Speaking of setting the tone, the furnishings do just that. The couple wanted a space that felt collected. We scoured the world for the right table, but the scale was always wrong. So, we worked with an amazing furniture artisan, Christopher Thayer, who created this gorgeous, detailed version. We also found the chandelier while in Czechoslovakia. At the time we bought it, we didn’t have a particular project in mind for it until we came into this space. It’s the perfect place for it.

Keeping everything neutral lets the textures and layers really pop.We have never been afraid of color, but we prefer to create a neutral backdrop as it is more timeless and provides the perfect setting for accessories with hints of color, which can easily be replaced if you grow tired of something. We originally thought we would keep the brick bare, but as the room evolved, it called out for this wonderfully textural rug. It took a few tries to find the one, but it really pulls everything together.

Looking at this space, it’s instantly calming.This was the third home that I was commissioned to design for these clients. They are both busy professionals and they wanted a beautiful yet relaxed environment where they could decompress. I believe a master bedroom should be soft and welcoming. Here, I used a mixture of cottons, linens and embroidered fabrics in soft colors to create that relaxing and soothing environment the clients were seeking.

What was the design process?I prefer to design the “shell” of a room first and then complement it with furnishings and fixtures. I began with a seamless wool carpet featuring silk bands that were hand-embroidered in order to ensure the same stitch lengths. The wallcovering and drapery fabric were selected from there. The finished product is a room that makes sense—it’s not too big or too small. It’s also extremely beautiful, but not so much that one is afraid to use or enjoy it.

If you could put your finger on what luxury is, how would you define it?Luxury is the same in Arizona as it is in New York, Paris, London or wherever you reside; it’s all about paying attention to the details of a house. I believe one must put value on how one lives in a home, not just the value for resale. It is imperative to enjoy beautiful things, whether it’s a single accessory or a well-designed home. The trend in luxury design is surrounding oneself in beauty.

THE LUXURY INDUSTRY’S BIGGEST PLAYERS SHARE THEIR FORECASTS FOR THE FALL SEASON. WRITTEN BY BRIELLE M. FERREIRA

UNDERTHEAFFLUENCE To the upscale consumer—the Internet-savvy, seasoned traveler with a pulse on all the latest and greatest—there is almost nothing left that is o�-limits. So, what exactly impresses the person who has everything? Driving the cool ride straight o� the showroom floor isn’t enough anymore nor is the museum-quality masterpiece over the mantel or the multi-carat sparkler that catches the light just right. Today’s luxury living demands a completely one-of-a-kind experience, so we spoke to 10 of the industry’s most well-respected creatives—from the worlds of automobiles and technology to contemporary art and design—who are used to delivering just that. Find out what’s on their radars now.



What’s hot to collect right now? My advice to those looking to build a collection is to purchase work that you love. This could be paintings or prints by the giants of contemporary art, like Warhol and Richter, or younger artists, such as Jonas Wood and Danh Vô; the important thing is to follow your passion.

Best way to display art at home? One of the most thrilling aspects of contemporary art is the multitude of forms it takes: from painting to installation, video to performance. For this reason, it presents new opportunities and challenges when exhibiting at home. Last October, we o�ered works from Giobatta Meneguzzo’s collection that had hung in his iconic Gio Ponti house. It’s an extraordinary example of what is possible when the disciplines of art and architecture work together.

Is there a specific genre or time period of art that is in demand currently? The entirety of the contemporary art market is in a very strong place at the moment. Our May Contemporary Evening sale in New York was led by fantastic results for legendary names like Lichtenstein and Rothko, but we also saw new records for many artists working today, including talents like Christopher Wool and Mark Bradford.

What is the best international show for art lovers to attend each year? The Venice Biennale opened in May, and I would urge any art lover to visit if they have the opportunity before it closes in late November. There is no better place to discover exciting new work—with the added bonus that it takes place in a stunningly beautiful setting! sothebys.com

Sotheby’s Cheyenne Westphal has overseen every major contemporary art sale in Europe since 1999 as co-head of the well-respected auction house’s contemporary art team. As such, the German-born dynamo knows a thing or two about what is consistently making it onto collectors’ wish lists. Here, Westphal puts the art industry into picture-perfect focus.

How have consumers’ art-buying habits changed over the past three to five years? We are seeing more of clients collecting across di�erent categories and eras. Many of today’s collectors are excited by the opportunity to hang a contemporary work alongside an Old Master or Impressionist painting. This is something we will be showcasing ahead of the London sale season with our curated “Masterpieces” exhibition, which will bring together highlights from all our major summer auctions.

Italian design house Zagato is a legend in the automotive industry, creating exclusive, custom versions of the world’s most sought-after luxury vehicles for companies like Maserati, Ferrari and Aston Martin and private owners alike. One thing that remains consistent regardless of the emblem or badge on the cars’ hoods is the consumers’ desire for something unique, and according to Zagato CEO Andrea Zagato, design is key. “There’s something compelling about the freedom to explore new and di�erent aesthetic solutions without having to follow mass-market trends,” he says. “Clients are turning to Zagato not only for one-of-a-kind trim and color but for the experience or adventure of making their own car rather than buying something as o�ered.” zagato.it

Craftsmanship: It’s the most important thing when you’re buying an item at a high price point. Using quality materials like bronze, aluminum and wood factor in here, but it’s the notion of something being crafted by hand that is truly hitting home with our clients.

Name recognition: There are some designers who have a cache that can’t be touched. I love Wendell Castle (whose Dark Wish chair is showcased here); he’s amazing, and he’s just peaking now at the age of 82—delivering some of the best pieces of furniture he’s ever worked on. Ingrid Donat is also blowing me away with her pieces in bronze.

Limited edition: Design and art fairs are becoming major grounds for elite consumers, with each one looking for something that will di�erentiate their collections from those of their friends and neighbors. Limited-series runs or one-of-a-kind pieces are the way to do it; people are really responding to our gallery’s ethos. carpentersworkshopgallery.com

Dr. Andrew Dent spends his days culling over the newest modern materials and technologies for his role as vice president of library and materials research for international creative database Material ConneXion. As a result, Dent is on the forefront of the new industrial revolution, touting 3D printing, composite materials and PVD coating as the next big things. Of all the magical items to cross his desk, however, he does have one favorite: “I’m really crazy about something called Willow Glass right now,” he says. “It is thin, hard, flexible glass that can also be rolled up. It is currently being used as a hardtop surface for steels, plastics and painted finishes as a way of creating real glass, scratch-resistant surfaces for other materials.” materialconnexion.com

GUEST OF HONORWhen travelers are looking to get away, they want to feel like they’re really getting away. While they’re not willing to eschew the comforts of home (think: air conditioning and spa-approved toiletries), their hope is that a trip to a ranch in Montana will come with horseback riding and a menu full of interesting game staples or that a weekend in the Florida Keys will deliver straw-hut bars galore. For Chief Creative O�cer Scott Colee, whose luxury boutique hotel management company Noble House’s portfolio includes Gateway Canyons in Colorado and San Diego’s Kona Kai, this change from the all-inclusive packages of yore was easy to foresee. “It’s about giving guests an experience that cannot be duplicated anywhere else,” he says. “So, we work with local artisans during build-out and promote local breweries, wineries and cuisine.” noblehousehotels.com

For celebrated event planner and entertainer extraordinaire Bronson van Wyck, a successful party is about more than food and fl owers (though, if you’re in the throes of planning, he’ll be the fi rst to tell you that a smattering of jewel-colored dahlias works beautifully for fall). Instead, it’s about creating an experience that attendees might never have dreamed of—like when his fi rm built an open-air chapel on a mountaintop valley in Aspen or completely tented Four Freedoms Park on New York’s Roosevelt Island. Catch up with the maestro’s top picks for an event to remember and start planning your dreamy fall fete now.

Most important element of luxury entertaining? Lighting! No other element can transform your party (and your guests) like lighting. When it’s strategically placed, it gives everyone a glow-y boost (and acts like an instant Instagram fi lter). It should come from three levels: display votives below, taper candles at eye level and a glittering chandelier above. Hottest party trend? Hosts and guests alike are embracing fantastical themes like masquerade parties. When you dress up, you drink more, and when you drink more, you have more fun. Who’s your go-to for luxury tabletop décor? I love what Elad Yifrach has created with L’Objet. He takes my favorite things, like snakes, malachite and even fi sh scales, and brings them to the table with rich textures and luxurious colors. I also rely on Bellino for linens. What’s on the menu? I prefer serving comfort food or unexpected dishes, but there’s no doubt that fried chicken just tastes better when it’s served on china. Dress code? Yay or nay? Yes. You want your guests to feel comfortable, and nothing makes you feel more out of place than being overdressed or underdressed.

LONDON CALLING

The recent release of Apple’s limited-edition, 18-karat gold watch has further highlighted a bit of a departure in the technology industry: It’s not enough to have the latest in digital advancements. Consumers must also feel like they are being presented with choices to help them express their individuality, whether it’s selecting the color of the fi nish on the back of their phone or picking the perfect fi t for their wearable tech. It’s a trend that London-based Vertu has been keen to since it launched its fi rst custom cell phone in 2002. “Consumer choice and the ability to use monograms, special colors or unique materials is commonplace in the luxury industry for valid reason,” says company CEO Massimiliano Pogliani. “It helps underpin the individual style of the buyer, which is paramount.” vertu.com

8 CROWN JEWEL

Diamonds have been the go-to mineral-as-status-symbol since the 1930s, but new pioneers in the jewelry landscape, such as New York-based designer Monique Péan, have been fi nding inspiration from other rare materials, like fossilized walrus ivory, dinosaur bone and meteorite. The result is a diversifi ed accessories experience that is quickly transforming what consumers think of when they talk about jewelry and what they’re gravitating toward when it’s time to wear it.

Have consumers become more interested in manufacturing? I think that people are beginning to realize how important it is to consider how the materials used to create a piece of jewelry were sourced, as well as how it was assembled. We work with artisanal miners and mines that are dedicated to social and environmental responsibility.

What is the appeal of the unusual materials you use in designs? Fossilized dinosaur bone is extremely rare, as it has been petrifi ed during the fossilization process; its intricate patterns remind me of abstract art. I think that working with sustainable and natural materials that are simultaneously hard to

fi nd and beautiful connects with the larger message of protecting our environment and supporting slow design and indigenous art and culture.

What other industries are you watching for inspiration? Each year, I take a trip to a new destination to fi nd sustainable materials and partner with local artisans. My recent Seto collection was inspired by Japan and the juxtaposition between the country’s traditional art and the minimalist works of native architect Tadao Ando. I referenced the aerial view of Ando’s simple, graphic shapes against the island’s natural landscape by surrounding painterly patterned agate and lovely tourmalinated quartz with bold structural settings. moniquepean.commoniquepean.com

Is there anything more luxurious than a smooth Venetian silk? Maybe not, but major advancements in the textile industry are putting the newest cropof fabrics made from acrylic yarns in serious competition. For Donghia Creative Director Chuck Chewning, these lifestyle-friendly category defi ers are changing the game. “There’s been a major movement to durability,” he explains. “People want to live comfortably with their children and their animals by their sides, but they don’t want to compromise on aesthetics and good looks. The strides we’ve made in outdoor fabrics in particular have been huge. We’re now able to recreate outdoor velvets and chenille that mimic the look and feel of the real thing so closely it’s incredible.” donghia.com

10 BUILT ENVIRONMENTArchitect Ted Flato, founding principal of San Antonio’s acclaimed design firm Lake Flato, finds inspiration for his firm’s impressive commercial and residential structures from the sites of the projects he undertakes. Here, he shares what his clients are looking for when crafting their high-end homes.

Outdoor connection: More and more of our clients are expressing interest in homes that provide a strong indoor/outdoor experience in both urban and rural settings. Not only does it provide extra square footage, which is especially useful for entertaining, but it’s a strong indicator that our appreciation for the environment keeps growing.

Sustainability: Energy conservation has gotten cool, and our clients are expressing a great deal of enthusiasm for locally sourced materials and craft. We’re now installing smart meters in all of our new builds so that we can monitor the performance of the house for the first year and adjust accordingly.

Natural materials: While natural materials such as stone, marble and granite are inherently gorgeous, design lovers are also starting to appreciate materials like concrete, which have been overlooked traditionally. So much energy goes into pouring a concrete floor and when you factor in how it’s then ground, you get a real feel for the artisans’ handiwork. It’s an art form. lakeflato.com

In the living room, homeowner Catherine Olsthoorn selected all of the furnishings, including down-filled sofas by Lillian August for Hickory White. The coffee table and tufted ottoman are both from Baker, and the wingback chairs are by Bernhardt. Hinkley’s Lighting Factory fabricated the custom globe chandelier that illuminates the space.

All custom houses call for ingenuity, but the one Jim and Catherine Olsthoorn wanted to build in the Silverleaf community as a respite from the chilly Canadian winters was particularly demanding. Situated close to

the entrance and highly visible from the street, the home needed a style that would walk the line between the owners’ modern leanings and meeting the stated design guidelines. “Silverleaf doesn’t allow contemporary homes, so we had to come up with a design that would fit the community’s standards yet still work for the clients,” says builder Tom Argue. “It made us all think deeper and harder and more creatively.” The formal Mediterranean mien that they came up with would be the first of its kind in a section known as The Parks. “Silverleaf didn’t originally have a plan for this style of house,” explains Argue, who collaborated with architect Scott Carson on the design. “This home pushed the envelope and has since made them think about opening up their style rules.”

The couple first fell in love with Scottsdale in 2011 when they were looking at places for a getaway. After an exhaustive home search, the couple opted to go custom—and with good reason. “My husband and three boys are all over 6 feet 7 inches tall and that means everything—beds, ceilings, doors and vanity heights, furniture, pool and spa depth—had to be designed to accommodate their height. You can only home in on that level of detail if you custom build,” says Catherine.

After they toured several vacant lots, it was synchronicity that led to the perfect site. “My husband was invited to play golf at Silverleaf, and as luck would have it, one of the players had an empty lot for sale,” says Catherine, noting that the site had 270-degree mountain views. “The property closed 30 days later, which happened to be my birthday. It was a wonderful confirmation that it was meant to be ours.”

When it came it assembling a design team, Catherine knew she needed people who would allow her to take an active role—and Argue met that requirement. “Both Tom and Brad Kern, who oversaw the building process, a�orded me creative expression from the start,” she says. Argue then introduced the couple to Carson, who also

AZ_LX29_PHX.indd 280 7/27/15 11:30 AM

honored Catherine’s ideas, including one for a formal entry façade. “The exterior is made of stucco with cut-stone details, and the overall massing is very simple, in keeping with the classic Mediterranean style,” says Carson. For example, the chimney caps punctuate the simple roof forms and the entry courtyard tile is laid in a herringbone pattern.

The lot’s size constraints also mandated inventiveness. “The lot is not very large, and it’s also located near the main entrance to the community, where there’s constant tra�c,” says Carson. “Our job was to create a private, tranquil environment where Jim and Catherine could experience the wonderful winter climate with indoor-outdoor living and not notice the hustle of cars and people.”

The backyard’s aesthetic is all about decompressing and spending time together. Along with a pool and spa, there are several covered patio areas for sitting,

lounging, entertaining and eating. Two sets of sliding pocket doors—one in the great room and the other in the kitchen—connect the interiors with the patios. The architect’s careful siting, combined with landscape designer Je� Bergho�’s strategic use of walls, plantings and water features, resulted in tranquillity on both sides of the house. “The overall design inspiration for the entry’s limestone water feature was classical in nature,” says Bergho�. “I wanted something that visitors could engage in and walk around as they approached the house. From the street, it draws your eye upward to the front door, and the sound of the streaming water is inviting as one walks past.”

Tailored, understated elegance defines the interiors, which meld beautifully with the classical surroundings. “My preferred aesthetic is a clean modern approach,” says Catherine, who conceived the decorating plan on her own.

The dining room’s table comprises a pair of John-Richards mirrored pedestals and a glass top. Lillian August dining chairs are upholstered in a subtle tone-on-tone textile and embellished with nailhead trim. The host chairs are by Chaddock, and two David Rothermel paintings hang above an ebony console from Century Furniture.

“For this home, I focused on relaxation.” To engender a serene spa-like ambience, the neutral palette commingles ivory, biscuit and oatmeal hues with muted shades of silver, champagne, gold and black. Subtle accents of turquoise in the master bedroom, as well as salmon in one of the guest rooms, judiciously enliven those spaces. Throughout the house, a Savant home automation system, installed by Via, controls everything from interior and exterior lighting to the fountain and pool systems.

Carefully conceived finishes reinforce the home’s custom feel, starting with the linear fireplace lined with iridescent glass that provides the focal point for the great room and kitchen. “The façade is a unique architectural element, and I love how it balances the room,” says Catherine of the plaster tiles set in a geometrical pattern. Other finishes include textured Italian porcelain flooring and Brazilian-granite kitchen countertops selected for their natural beauty and easy maintenance. The drama of the granite inspired Catherine to bookend two of the slabs for the backsplash and create a waterfall-style island that seats five.

The family now makes regular treks to Arizona, but for Catherine the real magic of the home lies in its ability to help her husband and sons unwind and reconnect. “We are so happy with the way it turned out,” she says. “It feels like our own private resort—a desert oasis that we can escape to and relax together.”

IN RESPONSE TO AN INCREASINGLY DIGITAL WORLD, ARTIST NICK GEORGIOU CREATES COLORFUL WORKS OF ART USING EPHEMERAL REMNANTS OF THE ANALOG AGE.

Iam always aware that I am working with objects that are thoroughly used and maybe were once cherished possessions,” says Nick Georgiou, who creates artwork from discarded books and newspapers. His work is a technique

he describes as a sculptural take on renowned beat poet William Burroughs’ literary device in which pieces of text are copied and pasted along with others to create a new meaning. “My art is inspired by the decline of the printed word in modern society and its rebirth as art,” he says.

Working from his studio in Tucson’s historic Citizens Warehouse, Georgiou uses industrial-strength cropping machines to cut his weighty tomes to the proper depth and then arranges them in shadowboxes to form shapes. In the process, he enters a meditative state in which the artwork almost seems to form itself. “There’s this mystical transformation when the pages come together without intending to create something specific,” Georgiou explains. “You’re able to lose yourself and let the pages tell the story.”

The resulting images are evocative of tribal art and Cubist paintings, and concealed within some of them are long-forgotten personal items that Georgiou excavated. “Sometimes I find a memento or note tucked into the pages of worn text,” he says. “These kind of fossils add another layer to the story.”

According to Georgiou, his career began in 2001 when he started placing his newspaper sculptures of dogs and other creatures on the street and then photographing the reactions of passersby. Those images depicting the delight, astonishment and confusion of people went viral, and from there his career took o�. Since then, he has exhibited in increasingly high-profile venues— including a window display on Madison Avenue in Manhattan last year that he designed for Hermès—and currently shows at the Allouche Gallery in New York and locally at the Etherton Gallery. “I love the fanciful sensation of holding a book and, as we enter the digital world, I think it’s important to have these tactile experiences,” Georgiou explains. “There’s an intimacy to holding a newspaper or book that’s irreplaceable.”

New York-based designer Michael Simon and architect Lou Werner III reinvented a mountainside house to serve as the contemporary desert base for a Midwest couple. A Jean de Merry console anchors the entrance hall, which also features sconces designed by Simon and fabricated by Manhattan Shade & Glass in New York.

AZ_LX29_294


When New York-based designer Michael Simon speaks of his work, the conversation inevitably shifts to music. Having studied composition before turning to interiors, he loves explaining

how Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony utilizes just four notes that carry the listener through a series of sensations from beginning to end. He employs that same concept when designing a home. “I confine myself to a handful of two-dimensional and three-dimensional ideas that are realized in the form of textiles, carpets, furnishings, objects and a myriad of other components,” says Simon. For the transformation of a home outside Phoenix, the designer brought a composer’s sensibility by repeating elements that he defined as stone, plaid and corrugation throughout.

Perched high on the side of a mountain, the house o�ers a breathtaking panorama of the valley beyond. Wanting to push the envelope, Simon, along with

architect Lou Werner III and project manager Jason Walsh, encouraged the homeowners to forgo the home’s original Southwest elements in favor of a more modern aesthetic. “The clients have a tremendous eye for detail, and they encouraged us to find ways to reinvent things and create art within this architecture,” says Werner. In addition, the team also refurbished an existing casita—situated along a path behind the house—which includes a bedroom, sitting area, bathroom and private patio to accommodate overnight guests.

To better retain the original footprint, builder Greg Hunt and his team gutted all of the public spaces and reconfigured most of the private rooms by removing walls and designing a more e�cient floor plan. For Hunt, the biggest challenge was the site itself. “The driveway is 800 feet long and very steep,” he says. “We even had sca�olding three stories high in some places. Everything had to be very carefully set up.”

Situated in horizontal bands, six types of limestone from ABC Worldwide Stone in New York reinforce the rectilinear feel in the entrance hall and set the tone for the stonework and patterning elsewhere. Echoing these lines are custom Scalamandré plaid draperies. The rug is from Beauvais Carpets in New York.

AZ_LX29_295



Selecting six types of limestone set in horizontal bands on both the exterior and interior walls was central to the design process. Walsh, who worked with Simon on the landscape design, devised a specific plan for each piece in advance. “I drew elevations of each surface with the type of stone labeled on the drawing and the placement of each one for every surface,” says Walsh. “The drawings served as a specific map of which stone to place where.” Adds Simon, “There had to be enough stones so they would each have a di�erent character, but they were also tonally very closely calibrated to one another to make sense with the palette, as well.”

To complement the stone, Simon chose colors for the interiors that ranged from putty to mushroom to shrimp. Comparing these color selections to a musical arrangement, he explains that a note has no meaning until it’s juxtaposed with another note, and the same holds true with color. “I have very specific ideas about how to make colors sing,” he says. “In the living room, for instance, the salmon hue in the armchairs is the high note.”

The textural variety of the stone served as a springboard for the six di�erent qualities of glass of the églomisé encasing the freestanding chimney that separates the living and family rooms. Designed by Simon and executed by New York City artist Miriam Ellner, its materials—gold leaf, moon gold, palladium leaf and other precious metals—form a shimmering counterpoint to the stone elsewhere. “The colors are always changing,” says Simon. “As the light moves throughout the day, the glass reflects it, and as you move through the rooms, the glass catches the light di�erently with every step you take.”

Simon, who designed nearly everything in the house, from the nickel-plated corrugated drum table in the living room to the gilded ceramic mirror in the master bedroom, also created a tone-on-tone rug whose swirling patterns echo the stone. The corrugated motif is picked up and magnified in the entrance hall’s high curved wall, while the living room’s two-tiered cocktail table is a variation on the plaid seen elsewhere. Large sliding doors now allow the rooms to flow to the outdoors. “The owners chose this house for its unrealized potential,” says Werner. “The best idea was removing unnecessary walls and connecting more of the spaces to the views of the city and mountainous horizons.”

AZ_LX29_296


Églomisé panels—conceived by the designer and executed by New York artist Miriam Ellner—lend a lustrous finish to the fireplace that separates the family and living rooms. Simon also designed the armchairs, which are covered in strié velvet from Zimmer + Rohde, and the sofas sporting two different Romo fabrics.

The fireplace screen and lamps are from Holly Hunt in New York, and the carpet is by Stark.

AZ_LX29_297



In the breakfast room, lighted niches in the églomisé wall hold part of the clients’ collection of first-century Palestinian antiquities. The chair seats are made of custom leather, while the backs are fashioned with a

woven rose-and-cream Robert Allen pattern. Adorned with rock crystals, a chandelier—from Dennis Miller Associates in New York—hangs from a ceiling clad in sound-absorbing panels.

AZ_LX29_298


Neutral tones dominate the library, which opens up to a courtyard where landscape designer Jason Walsh interspersed dichondra between paved stones. Origami works-on-canvas hang above the Simon-

designed sofa. The chairs wear a woven Durlaee fabric, and the ottoman is fabricated with leather by Cortina Leathers. Zebra-print Lee Jofa drapery fabric adds interest.

An églomisé screen in the dining room features an abstract interpretation of the views from the house. Beneath the rock-crystal chandelier, from Mathieu Lustrerie in France, is a table Simon designed with carved-and-gilded legs and a wood top painted to resemble bone. The chairs are made with custom-dyed leather on the fronts, and the backs are upholstered in a cotton-and-linen from John Rosselli & Associates in New York. The koa-and-metal cabinet is by Donghia.

AZ_LX29_301


The architect created a cantilevered steel-and-glass staircase that descends to the new negative-edge pool, where a sculptural Tuuci shade adds a dramatic element. A blend of agave and cacti was planted around the deck, which is surfaced in Indiana limestone from ABC Worldwide Stone. The Walters Wicker loungers and umbrellas are from Inside/Out Showrooms.

Bagues-style lamps are from Newel, both in New York.

Left: The bathroom walls and floor are clad in limestone, while the tub deck is made of green marble, all from ABC Worldwide Stone. The window allows bathers to soak up the mountain views.

For the landscape, Walsh introduced a variety of desert plants to set o� the rocky terrain. “I wanted to give the owners a macro-micro experience, so I used an assortment of exotic cacti from around the world and placed them all over the house, so there’s a surprise around every corner.” A floating, cantilevered stair leads down to a negative-edge pool, which is set on the edge of the cli� that drops o� 50 feet in some places. “We had to be absolutely certain that the pool’s shell would never crack and send the large body of water flowing down into the neighborhood,” says Werner, who consulted with a premier pool builder and structural engineer to get it right.

All involved agree that creating a project that sings could not have happened without a successful collaboration. “It takes a special client with the vision to request this level of design and the willingness to see it through,” says Werner. “But it simply doesn’t happen without a team of dedicated craftsman. We were lucky to have all the stars align on this one.”

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT’S LEGACY.

AZ_LX29_309


Taliesin West is such an ingrained part of local history that it’s hard to imagine Arizona without the national historic landmark. But the future of Frank Lloyd Wright’s one-time winter

residence-cum-architectural playground is in jeopardy—and renowned architectural writer and critic Aaron Betsky is its new champion. As the dean of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, Betsky plans to raise $2 million by the year’s end and secure financial autonomy from the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, as required by recent changes in accreditation regulations. With fundraising efforts well underway, Betsky is optimistic. “We see this as an opportunity for us to build on the established traditions and make this the best experimental architecture school in the country,” he says.

For Betsky, who walks in the footsteps of one of the greatest architects in American history every day, his responsibilities as dean reach far beyond securing financial stability; he also wants to ensure the school continues to be a place to develop what Wright identified as organic architecture in new ways. “For us that means building with—instead of on—the land, learning by doing, and seeing architecture as an unfolding of forms rather than the creation of boxes for us to live, work and play in,” he says.

Studying architecture at Yale and recently serving as director of the Cincinnati Art Museum, Betsky has had professorships at many prestigious universities, which shaped the core of his existence. “I have taught most of my life,” says Betsky, who is also dean of Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin. “So the opportunity to come to this breathtaking place and live and work the concepts into the architecture that is so central to our field and culture is what’s exciting.”

Inspired by Wright’s “learning by doing” philosophy, Betsky has a stated goal of helping students figure out how to make the built environment more sustainable, open and beautiful. Says Betsky, “We want to create alternatives to the often mindless and imprisoning structures that make up our human-made environment.”

As dean of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, Aaron Betsky (above) is in charge of maintaining and building on Wright’s legacy. Also shown are some tools of the architectural trade (top left) and a pergola (top center) that leads to the drafting studio at Taliesin. Wright designed the butterfly chairs (top right) that now reside in the architect’s former living room; a series of random art objects (right) are also on display.

AN ARCHITECT SEAMLESSLY BLENDS AN ANCIENT MATERIAL WITH MODERN ELEMENTS TO CREATE A WELCOMING CONTEMPORARY HOME.

Architect Kevin Howard designed the entry to be emblematic of the entire house, where adobe material merges with contemporary design. The custom door by Craftsmen in Wood is composed of local mesquite, glass and steel, and the mud brick walls intersect with sleek Egyptian limestone floors.

Architect Kevin Howard admits to having a long-term fascination with the idea of fashioning a contemporary residence utilizing mud adobe as a central element. “I’ve often asked myself if it would be

possible to take an ancient material like adobe and construct a modern house,” he says. Thanks to a Michigan couple with an appreciation for the organic materials that define Arizona’s aesthetic, the answer turned out to be a resounding yes.

Homeowners Linda and Bill Damon, who were looking to build their home in The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain, envisioned a modern structure that respected and merged with the desert. “We wanted to disturb as little as possible and keep the desert’s beauty around us,” says Linda, who, thanks to her parents owning a small independent hotel and restaurant, developed a discerning eye for architecture and design. “For this

house, I knew I wanted color consistency and a strong emphasis on texture.” The word texture was music to Howard’s ears, and he wasted no time introducing a series of coarse adobe walls as the structural jumping-o� point for his design. “I used adobe in places you’d expect, such as in columns and fireplace masses, and then selected everything else to contrast with it,” says the architect. He then added rusted-steel panels, burnished for a weathered look, and large horizontal panes of glass for balance.

But introducing expanses of glass in the desert can be tricky: too much and the interiors get too hot or things start to feel austere. To counter this, Howard used overhangs on the south side of the home, integrated exterior blinds to cover all the windows when needed, and relied on the mud bricks to serve as a counterpoint. “Using vertical adobe walls breaks up the horizontal expanses,” he says. “It’s really the adobe that gives the house its visual quality.”

In the living room, designer Kimberly Weder created a conversation area with a pair of VW lounge chairs and a sofa and chair by B&B Italia. The coffee table is from Suite NY in New York, and the side table is from Room & Board.

polished-black Mexican river rock flow from a hallway inside to outside.

On cool desert nights, the owners enjoy the warmth of the fireplace in the outdoor living room, which is tucked under the rooftop deck. The teak sofa by Henry Hall Designs and the pair of Janus et Cie Lulu chairs offer various seating options. The trio of cast-concrete planters is by Kornegay Design.

A waterfall of Calacatta gold marble drapes the kitchen island, which is lined with a wall of cabinets by Homeworks Cabinetry + Design featuring Top Knobs pulls. The sink and faucet are both from Kohler, and the Oriental runner is an existing peice from the homeowners’ collection.

The job of translating the plan into reality fell to builder Berner Loftfield, who oversaw all the structural demands, including securing a glass railing to the observation deck. “For the railing, we bolted an aluminum shoe channel into the floor to support the 1/2-inch glass panels that met building code requirements without the use of a supporting top rail,” says Loftfield. In addition, he also executed the architect’s design by creating the look of an unsupported floating roof. “It took some imagination and structural engineering to make it look like there’s nothing holding the roof up,” he adds. “You know how the wings of an aircraft are so thin and stick out so far that you wonder how they can stay up? These rooflines with their thin profiles and no posts or beams are like that.”

According to the architect, these cantilevers pay homage to Frank Lloyd Wright, who “relished the strength and the agility of the concept.” Similarly, the way the building inhabits rather than sits on the landscape recalls Wright’s work as well. “I wanted to disturb as little as possible, but I did draw a line in the sand to say where the Sonoran Desert ends and the courtyard begins,” says Howard, who introduced retaining walls along the desert edge to make his point.

Meanwhile, landscape designer Tray Gers sought to merge the natural and man-made environments, planting organ pipe cactus, ironwood trees and other native plants within the hardscape. “In keeping with the contemporary

In the breakfast room, a round rug and similarly shaped Zeitraum table from Suite NY provide a soft contrast to the local landscape. The Metropolitan chairs are by Jeffrey Bernett for B&B Italia, and the Modo chandelier is from Roll & Hill in New York.

The spine of the house is bolstered by heavy walls and wide glass panes, which open up to the vast space of the valley beyond. Locally sourced adobe harks back to the desert vernacular. The Sutherland poolside lounge chairs are from John Brooks Incorporated.

Sited in the desert foothills, the residence is meant to be evocative of the modernism of Frank Lloyd Wright’s work, refreshed for a contemporary family. Cantilevering over the preserved desert, the residence minimizes its footprint while maximizing living space. When not lit by the reflected and diffused skylights outside, the interiors employ photovoltaic panels for electricity.

design, I planted repeating elements in a linear way rather than in curves,” says Gers. “Kevin wanted the home to look like it sprouted from the desert, so things get more refined as you get closer to the house.”

When it came to the furnishings, the homeowners collaborated with designer Kimberly Weder to assist her in selecting such pieces as the brown leather sectional for the family room and a walnut dining room table, which both meld perfectly with the tans, cappuccinos and hints of blue that define the overall palette. “I’d define Linda’s style as classic contemporary with a twist, and she also likes to mix in ethnic accents,” says Weder, who also worked on the couple’s Ann Arbor home. Upon entry, it’s a pair of Indonesian doors carefully hung on mounting brackets above the living room fireplace that catches the eye. “They were found in the jungle, and are carefully preserved and extremely fragile,” says Linda.

With Weder advising them from Michigan, the couple asked local designer David Michael Miller to assist them in pulling the final look together. So, when the couple brought out a large Kuba cloth from their travels, Miller suggested having it set in a museum-type mount and hanging it above the master bed. “They had built a great foundation and were wanting help in presenting some of their exotic textiles as art,” says Miller. “It was just what the room needed.”

Thinking back on the project, Howard says he sometimes likes to imagine what the house would look like stripped of everything but the adobe walls. “You’d have one magnificent-looking ruin,” says Howard. “I’m so glad that I had this opportunity, and I’m very proud I was able to build something impactful using this ancient renewable material.”

In the master bedroom, a framed Kuba cloth hangs above a bed from Usona in Philadelphia. The chairs are by B&B Italia, and the floorcovering is from Unique Carpets in Riverside, California. Draperies add softness to the space.
