For over two decades, Hudson Valley Lighting has been driven by Founder and Owner David Littmans vision to produce timeless, heirloom-quality collections through a wide range of styles from the 19th and 20th centuries.

ARTISAN CRAFTSMANSHIPHudson Valley Lighting is dedicated to artisan craftsmanship in creating masterful, high-quality designs with a focus on exceptional materials and careful attention to detail. The results speak for themselvesantique-quality lighting designs that look beautiful for generations to come.

UNIQUE AESTHETICSSpanning in style from historic to artisan and transitional to contemporary, Hudson Valley Lighting uses high-grade materials such as solid cast brass, crystal, acrylic and blown glass. Superior manufacturing techniques, such as brass forging and hand-rubbed finishes, along with innovative technologies, allows one to appreciate the difference firsthand.

AN EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCEThe quality and spectacular beauty of each Hudson Valley Lighting fixture cant be found in more industrialized products. This unique experience, not typically seen in lighting design, provides its owners with a profound sense of pride and extreme appreciation for a lifetime of enjoyment.

DAVID LITTMAN

When I see a piece of antique furniture, my imagination goes wild about its history and how the lines and details are still

relevant today. Great design is something that spurs curiosity,

imagination and emotion.

In the world of design, journeyingin some way, shape or formis a constant. The turn around a showroom corner can lead to an inspiring discovery. An architectural structure rising from the landscape might spur a Moleskine full of ideas. From early September through late June, the pace in our industry is rapid-fire with fresh introductions in textiles, furniture, lighting, home accents and materials. To a large extent, this is what stimulates us, excites us, and nudges the design zeitgeist along.

If ever there was a time to decelerate though, it is summer, when the pace slackens and so many escape to far-flung places (Will everyone be shopping in Europe this summer? Seems so). Taking a journeywhether its as modest as transitioning from your living room to the backyard for an afternoon, or more elaborate, as in two weeks overseasfurther encourages the design dialogue. For those of us with a desire to remain curious, and sweep through life with a fine-tuned eye, the adventure never stops.

repaired it using bow-and-arrow components. Its visually interesting and beautifully clever. Im so glad to have it in my collection.

Robert Moric is an architect, entrepreneur and the owner at Bulthaup Scottsdale. His dream collaboration involves cooking a meal with the wildly innovative Danish chef Ren Redzepi.

2 the green thumb shelly ann abbottFavorite plant to work with: I love succulents; every one of them is an accent plant, and when they are paired with other succulents and perennials, the results are absolutely astounding.

best place to get lost: The Tucson Botanical Gardens. Its a non-profit urban oasis that was recently voted the best secret garden in America. I am the president of the Board of Trustees there, so I am frequently on the grounds witnessing and hearing how visitors have spent the most enjoyable time walking through the gardens.

spotlight on: Fors Architecture + Interiors is one of my favorite architectural firms in the city. The company creates lovely places that have such great spatial quality.

Dont miss... Agua Caliente Park. I love watching the reflection of the summer sun on the water there late in the day, especially as a monsoon storm rolls in. Its incredible.

Whats trending? Sustainability is really coming to the forefront and being married with great design in exciting new ways. We are removing existing boundaries and finding new processes for building that allow humanity and wildlife to enjoy the same benefits and resources.

1 the architect robert moricon your radar: Be sure to keep an eye on Pritzker Prize-winning Swiss architect Peter Zumthor, British architectural designer John Pawson, and the work coming from the incredible team at SHoP Architects in New York. Theyre all having a major moment in design right now.

For the design-obsessed: Theres a lot to be excited about in Arizona, but every design enthusiast should make time for a visit to artist James Turrells Skyspace: Air Apparent at Arizona State Universitys Tempe campus, as well as take a tour of Frank Lloyd Wrights Taliesin West and the Grand Canyon.

What keeps you curious about design? Theres this constant desire to improve, reinvent, reinterpret and redefine solutions to make a meaningful contribution to our world that I have always identified with. Currently, Im looking forward to a return of more intelligence and emotional sensitivity in our industry; the creative energy in Arizona right now seems poised to propel us to the next level.

ones to watch: I love the landscape architecture coming from the firm of Phoenix-based Allison Colwell and Michele Shelor. The companys portfolio is filled with beautiful creations spearheaded by these two extremely creative women.

Favorite building in arizona: The architecture of the Optima Camelview Village condominiums in Scottsdale is remarkable. Im so impressed by the way they integrated the buildings different elevations with robust green elements that work like living sculpture.

most recent design purchase: I just bought a one-of-a-kind tripod lamp from BDDW in New York. The team took a broken lamp that was in production and

Up next: Our firm recently won a design award from APLD for our local Camino Arizona project. Im also really looking forward to heading to Germany and working on a residential landscape project we have slated there. I am very interested in how europeans use their outdoor space, and I am thrilled to be working with such a fabulous client.

THE INSIDERS


3 the merchant ana wellsHaving a moment: The architectural team at Rafterhouse has been completely on fire lately. Those guys have such an insane eye for detail and have been nailing the modern Craftsman-style homes that everyone is obsessed with.

On your radar: A friend of mine just recently introduced me to the work of local designer Jaimee Rose.

Shes based in Phoenix, and her portfolio is phenomenal. I am such a big fan!

Go-to summer events: I have two little boys, so the Sunday Evening Concerts at the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park are always a huge hit, but the Flagstaff Blues and Brews Festival also ranked pretty high on my list this year.

Favorite thing in inventory: I am particularly enamored with the use of brass at the moment. We currently have this incredible rosewood salt-and-pepper cellar with brass spoons at the shop that was handmade by artisans in India.

Best place to get lost: My husband and I met at ASU, so we both have a soft spot for Tempe. We love heading to the Tempe Beach Park and then over to Mill Avenue to see whats new. If were feeling really ambitious, well take our bikes out through the campus, as well. Its one of our favorite pastimes.

Cant get enough of Melamine dinnerware. The offerings in this category have grown leaps and bounds since it was first introduced to the tabletop industry. We have several collections in the store, and customers are almost always in disbelief when we tell them its melamine.

shop til you drop: I am so excited about what is happening in downtown Phoenix. The new Desoto Central Market is amazing. I love to grab a coffee at Lux Central and then hit all my favorite stores like Growop, Modern Manor, Frances and Changing Hands Bookstore.

Ana Wells is the proprietress and creative force behind UrbAna, a home goods and tabletop boutique in Phoenix. Shes an avid campaigner for local manufacturing and an advocate for buying American-made furniture and accessories.

4 the curator lisa settewhats trending? I dont follow or predict trends, but what is evident is the sheer global force of good conceptual work being created today; the world is rife with issues that artists are bringing to our attention.

For the art-obsessed: Make it a point to head over to the Phoenix Art Museum, the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art and the ASU Art Museum. These institutions provide the community with some of the best and most important artwork being created today.

Best place to get lost: The Desert Botanical Garden is one of my favorite places to go to unwind. Theres always something new to enjoy or discover there all year-round.

On the walls: I just closed an exhibit that included one of my favorite things to enter the gallery to date: It featured a work that is titled The Glass Kiss by Cuban artist Reynier Leyva Novo. The piece is comprised of a set of 70 wine glasses that have each been engraved with the name and visage of either an American or Cuban president.

Dream purchase: If money were no object, I would definitely love to own a pair of photographs of the beautiful Countess da Castiglione, from the series taken by Pierre-Louis Pierson in the 1860s. Theirs was a striking collaboration that has proved most enduring.

arizonas most beautiful building: Our new Midtown gallery, of course! Its a smartly remodeled 1979 building that was originally designed by one of the most celebrated midcentury architects in Phoenix: the incomparable Al Beadle.

Recent design splurge: The newest addition to my home is a set of four Naoto Fukasawa Piccola Papilio chairs. Theyre cool and sculptural, and they were worth every penny.

Lisa Sette is the director and founder of an eponymous contemporary art gallery in Phoenix. She would love to add the title of official taste tester for the Gelateria del Teatro in Rome to her already enviable resume.

images: From top: Interior and exterior shots from curator Lisa Settes eponymous gallerys newest location in Phoenixs Midtown district. Ana Wells Phoenix-based home goods shop melds colorful, quirky style with some of the most well-known luxury names in tabletop and entertaining.

Brought together by a love of all things textile, Stacy Waggoner and Kate Reynolds teamed up to create a cutting-edge design studio offering fabrics, rugs and wallpaper motifs from top designers around the world. Now, almost a decade later, Studio Four NYC boasts some of the hottest names in textile design alongside emerging talents, with much of the duos success lying in their creative acuity for partnering with artists, innovators and risk-takers. This summer, Studio Four releases three not-to-be-missed lines that fit just that mold.

Designer-painter Rebecca Atwood first burst onto the scenepaintbrush in handcaptivating her Instagram audience one bespoke pillow and dreamy watercolor print at a time. Her artistry soon led to a partnership between Atwood and Studio Four, one that has since developed into a blooming design venture as the Cape Cod native sets to release her debut collection of hand-painted and marbleized fabrics with the studio. Her textiles are so chic and livable, says Reynolds. Be on the lookout for her wallpaper collection to launch soon.

Just when you thought leather had nothing new to offer, Brit Kleinman, of Brooklyns Avo, enters the field, proving the possibilities have only just begun: Her jaw-dropping block-printed cowhides, branded with bold, artistic patterns and daring geometrics, incorporate a touch of modernity into the timeworn material. We love leather and the luxury of something that keeps getting better with age, says Waggoner of the partnership. Brit is changing the way that people use and experience this textile.

Studio Fours next debut proves that the art of plaster isnt lost but rather in a state of renaissance thanks to Celeste Coughlin of Asterisk Designs. This doyenne of Venetian

plaster developed a specialized technique for transcribing waxed plaster onto paper, coining a perfect science to translate this ancient (and tedious) process onto a custom roll of wallpaper. We have always loved the gorgeous, creamy texture of Venetian plaster walls, says Waggoner, and when we met Celeste we knew we were destined for something great to unfold.

With all these exciting collections debuting this season, Studio Fours Chelsea showroom is the perfect spot to garner inspiration for any and all design endeavors. Design is a luxury, says Reynolds. It should always inspire and never intimidate. ph

THE SURF CLUB MIAMIAn infamous, members-only social club that once entertained the likes of Frank Sinatra and Elizabeth Taylor is being boldly reimagined by acclaimed architect Richard Meier. Located in the South Florida town of Surfside, the Surf Club will be a visual dialogue between the old and the new, transforming the original 1930s club into a Four Seasons boutique hotel and residences. Meiers material palette will be simple: Floor-to-ceiling glass will maximize horizontal views of the Atlantic Ocean, while local surfaces, namely fl ooring of porous coral stone, will detail the exterior. Inside, handpicked furnishings will be set amidst the clean backdrop of the architects signature colorwhite. thesurfclub.com

CHICAGO ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION CHICAGO Founded in 1890 by families of American sports royalty (think Wrigley and Spalding), the Chicago Athletic Association has been a fi xture in the Windy City for more than a century. The famed location, originally designed by architect Henry Ives Cobb, has now been revamped into a luxury lifestyle hotel by design duo Roman and Williams. We were devoted to preserving the character and details of this historic building while creating a new language, say the designers. The aesthetic maintains the buildings original fi replaces with bas-relief wood carvings, expansive marble staircases and stained glass, yet speaks to classic Americana with vintage artifacts like wooden gym ladders, Victorian-inspired lighting and leather furnishings. chicagoathletichotel.com

THE PALLADIAN HOTEL SEATTLE The Palladian Hotel, established in Seattle in 1910, was named for the Palladian windows that defi ned the architecture of the time. Today, San Francisco-based designer Nicole Hollis has taken this historically signifi cant building and given it a speakeasy vibe with a sense of humor (pillows printed with Tom Sellecks portrait, for example). Reclaimed-wood headboards juxtapose crisp, white Frette linens in the guest rooms, while brass accents, velvet upholstery and a tufted-leather check-in characterize the lobby, with the hotels original doors standing at the entrance of the gym. Ornamented by custom Ladies & Gentlemen light fi xtures, Hollis warm yet playful interiors program boasts a quintessential Seattle feel and refl ects the pulsating street culture found just outside. palladianhotel.com

URBAN BOY MEETS RENAISSANCE GIRL IN DESIGNER WINDSOR SMITHS EPONYMOUS DEBUT COLLECTION FOR ARTERIORS.

HE SAID, SHE SAID

I WANT MY PIECES TO FEEL LIKE SOMETHING YOU WOULD HAND DOWN TO THE NEXT GENERATION.-WINDSOR SMITH Athena & Atlas Sconces / Windsor Smith Collection for Arteriors / $675 each / arteriorshome.com.

I want my pieces to feel like something you would hand down to the next generation, explains designer Windsor Smith in reference to her new 40-piece collection for Arteriors. Brimming with furnishings, lighting and home accents in a range of tonal golds, mixed metals and varied marbles, the line fl irts between masculine and feminine dichotomies. Case in point: Smiths Athena sconce (shown here in silver) was inspired by the delicate drop of an earring, while the Atlas sconce (shown in gold)

reveals the same caged form but in a more industrial, geometric outline. It is through shape and silhouette, says Smith, that instant sculpture is evoked. Laced with neoclassical and Greco-Roman infl uences, the collection leaves a rich patina in its wake, beckoning centuries past while maintaining modern relevance. My goal was to reinterpret traditional in a beautiful, lasting way with utilitarian pieces that are meant to be used and not thought of as too precious, Smith explains. Mission accomplished.

the Latin american art Museum in Miami will feature sculpture on its expansive cantilevered terraces to extend the experience outdoors.

boom townwhat was once a static cityscape radiates with new energy as miamiand its proliferating skylinegets its place in the sun.

theres something special brewing in Miami. a city known for its sultry year-round summers and pulsating nightlife has quickly become a seedbed for culturati and starchitects the world over. case in point is the proposed Latin american art Museum, whose imposing layered structure, shown here, by New York- and Mexico city-based FR-ee/Fernando Romero enterprise will house the private collection of art aficionado Gary Nader upon its opening in 2016. Joining the grand landmark is a dizzying register of new permanent installations that will soon dot the skyline; the renowned names behind them reading like the roll call for a gathering of modern architectures brightest

stars: Rem Koolhaas (Faena Forum), Norman Foster (Faena house), Zaha hadid (1000 Museum condos), Jeanne Gang (Sweetbird South Residences) and arquitectonica (Brickell city centre), to list a handful. even hollywood heavy hitters like The Great Gatsby director Baz Luhrmann and his set designer wife, catherine Martin, are lending their fanciful design vision to the interiors of what will become the Faena hotel, one of the elements making up the much-anticipated Faena district in Miami Beach, a fantasyland dreamed up by argentine developer alan Faena set to include hotels, residences, retail and an art and culture forum. its safe to say that Miami is architectures new muse.

Your new fine art series focuses on exotic animals in unexpected places. What inspired the collection? Since living in Los Angeles, Ive always enjoyed the quick escape to the desert, and the Parker Palm Springs has been my longtime favorite hotel there. This was a chance to let my imagination run wild, and apparently it ran right into a menagerie of wild animals enjoying the hotel with me.

How did animals become your muse? I have a deep love for flamingos and penguins and couldnt stop envisioning them on the property. Working with them and the capuchin monkey, zebra and baby giraffe was so much funI wish I could live in this fantasy every day.

Any divas on set? We had trainers to direct the crew and myself on how to interact with them to keep them as happy models. Zack the zebra wasnt much of a fan of the balloons, as they kept popping, but he was a professional and we got the shot.

Images of animals in dreamlike settings are one part of your repertoire, but youre also known for aerial shots of beach scenes. How do you capture the perfect composition? When Im in the air, people and objects begin to stand out and

form patterns below. Once Im up there, everything magically comes together visually for me and Im able to capture the natural art that is being created below in the distance.

Whats the most daring stunt youve done to get the perfect shot? Standing on a 10-foot inflatable boat in the waters of Antarctica, shooting beach balls up against icebergs the size of a skyscraper that could break apart at any moment. It was the thrill of a lifetime.

Youve said your favorite part of your job is getting to see the world. Can you offer a piece of travel advice to those filled with the same wanderlust? If youre ever in Bhutan, you must visit the Tigers Nest Monastery, one of the countrys most sacred religious sites. Built in the 8th century on the side of a cliff, it is something of another world.

Photographer Gray Malin journeys to far and away places, capturing eccentric moments that spark fantasy and wonder, like llamas adorned in balloons amidst Bolivias salt flats, or rainbow-hued sheep in Australia. In his new fine art series, Gray Malin at the Parker, he keeps his zest for adventure close to home, shooting at the Parker Palm Springs as exotic animals playfully explore the iconic resort that unites luxury with amusement. Malin put down his camera to discuss the enchanting series, where monkeys are bellhops and giraffes are the guests, temporarily on view at the hotel. With an infectious joie de vivre, he proves the old adage: not all who wander are lost. he

Its fantastic to drift and just let a place wash over you, designer Tracey Boyd says of her approach to travel. Until recently, her chances to do just that were rare. As the creative director of the coveted fashion label Boyd, she was constantly in motion, creating edgy yet feminine clothing. Her singular visionone collection featured fleece ball gownswon her a New Generation Designer of the Year honor at the 2000 Rover British Fashion Awards, along with a devoted international following, but little time for anything else. When I moved into a more organic way of designing, I decided to go on trips for two or three months, she says. I wanted to go deeper. This change of focus yielded Aboydbazaar, a collection of clothing and accessories influenced by her biggest passions: life, travel, art and fashion.

Since then, Boyd has been busy soaking up the worlds sights and sounds, be it the modern shapes of Singapores skyline or the traditional beading practices in Penang. India remains a favorite destination and a constant source of inspiration. Its such a place of contrast, says Boyd. When Im there, I have too many ideas. I have to file them away and then come home to make sense of them. With the luxury of time, the designer can now absorb the lessons from her travels and incorporate them into her work, such as in her latest venture, Boyd, a line of furniture inspired by her journeys and currently available through Anthropologie. Im obsessed with finding out how things are done but looking at them in a contemporary way, she says. Then, I put my own spin on them.

Next on Boyds itinerary? Shes heading to the U.S., where shell launch Boyd with Resource Decor at High Point Market in October. Imbued with color and texture, the line mixes modern and traditional shapes in materials ranging from lacquer and metal to concrete and shells. Before that, however, shell pack a bag with a sketch pad, a few of her Aboydbazaar shirts, a collection of black and white beads and a beloved Dries Van Noten scarf and head to Puglia, in Southern Italy, to a convent that was reinvented as a hotel. Its filled with tribal art, textiles and miles of books on art, sculpture and furniture. Its like having a holiday in the most fabulous library with incredible food and beautiful gardens, says Boyd. Its a mixture of work and play and sums up my ideal way to travel.
