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.
— DAVID LITTMAN
hudsonvalleylighting.com
T H E A R T O F
Inspiration
For over two decades, Hudson Valley Lighting
has been driven by Founder and Owner David Littman’s
vision to produce timeless, heirloom-quality
collections through a wide range of styles from
the 19th and 20th centuries.
ARTISAN CRAFTSMANSHIP
Hudson 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 themselves—antique-quality lighting designs that
look beautiful for generations to come.
UNIQUE AESTHETICS
Spanning 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 EXPERIENCE
The quality and spectacular beauty of each Hudson Valley Lighting
fixture can’t 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.

Where Are You heAded?
astratto 7638/02 in cromatico violet / black edition by romo / romoblack.com.
In the world of design, journeying—in some way, shape or form—is 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 journey—whether it’s
as modest as transitioning from your living room to the backyard for an afternoon, or more elaborate, as in
two weeks overseas—further 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.

GeT TO kNOW FOUR ARIZONA INFLUeNCeRS AS THeY SHeD LIGHT
ON WHAT’S OF THe MOMeNT IN DeSIGN, ART AND ARCHITeCTURe.
WRITTeN AND PRODUCeD BY brielle m. Ferreira
1 the architect
robert moric
on 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. They’re all having a major
moment in design right now.
For the design-obsessed:
There’s a lot to be excited about in
Arizona, but every design enthusiast
should make time for a visit to artist James
Turrell’s Skyspace: Air Apparent at Arizona
State University’s Tempe campus, as well
as take a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s
Taliesin West and the Grand Canyon.
What keeps you curious about design?
There’s 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, I’m 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
company’s 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. I’m so impressed by the way
they integrated the building’s 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
090 / luxe interiors + design
repaired it using
bow-and-arrow
components. It’s
visually interesting
and beautifully clever.
I’m so glad to have

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 René Redzepi.

2 the green thumb
shelly ann abbott
Favorite 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. It’s 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

ana wells
Having 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.
092 / luxe interiors + design
She’s 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 what’s new. If
we’re feeling really ambitious, we’ll take our
bikes out through the campus, as well. It’s
one of our favorite pastimes.
Can’t 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 it’s 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. She’s an avid campaigner for local
manufacturing and an advocate for buying American-
made furniture and accessories.
4 the curator
lisa sette
what’s trending?
I don’t 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. There’s
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.
ana wells headshot and photos: courtesy urbana . lisa sette headshot and photos: courtesy lisa sette gallery.
arizona’s most beautiful building:
Our new Midtown gallery, of course! It’s
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. They’re 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.

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 duo’s 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 scene—paintbrush in hand—captivating
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.”

THE SURF CLUB MIAMI

An 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

the original 1930s club into a Four Seasons boutique
hotel and residences. Meier’s material palette
will be simple: Floor-to-ceiling glass will maximize
horizontal views of the Atlantic Ocean, while local
surfaces, namely flooring of porous coral stone, will
detail the exterior. Inside, handpicked furnishings will
be set amidst the clean backdrop of the architect’s
signature color—white. 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 fixture 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 building’s original fireplaces 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 defined the
architecture of the time. Today, San Francisco-based
designer Nicole Hollis has taken this historically significant
building and given it a speakeasy vibe with a sense of
humor (pillows printed with Tom Selleck’s 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 hotel’s original doors
standing at the entrance of the gym. Ornamented by
custom Ladies & Gentlemen light fixtures, Hollis’ warm
yet playful interiors program boasts a quintessential
Seattle feel and reflects the pulsating street culture
found just outside. palladianhotel.com

GrAy MALIN TeLLS A TALe Of
WhIMSy ThrOuGh SurreAL
IMAGery Of ANIMALS rOAMING
The PArker PALM SPrINGS.
WrITTeN ANd PrOduced By jesse brAtter
Photographer Gray Malin journeys to far and away
places, capturing eccentric moments that spark
fantasy and wonder, like llamas adorned in balloons
amidst Bolivia’s 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.
Your new fine art series focuses on exotic animals
in unexpected places. What inspired the
collection? Since living in Los Angeles, I’ve 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 couldn’t
stop envisioning them on the property. Working
with them and the capuchin monkey, zebra and
baby giraffe was so much fun—I 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 wasn’t
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 you’re also known
for aerial shots of beach scenes. How do you
capture the perfect composition? When I’m in
the air, people and objects begin to stand out and
form patterns below.
Once I’m up there,
everything magically
comes together
visually for me and
I’m able to capture
the natural art that is
being created below
in the distance.
What’s the most
daring stunt you’ve

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.
You’ve 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 you’re ever in Bhutan, you must
visit the Tiger’s Nest Monastery, one of the
country’s most sacred religious sites. Built in the
8th century on the side of a cliff, it is something
of another world.

global vision
as she travels the world,
british designer tracey boyd
draws inspiration for her new
namesake furniture collection.
WRITTeN AND PRODUceD BY lisa bingham dewart

photo: david cleveland.

“It’s 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 vision—one
collection featured fleece ball gowns—won 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
world’s sights and sounds, be it the modern shapes
of Singapore’s skyline or the traditional beading
practices in Penang. India remains a favorite
destination and a constant source of inspiration.
“It’s such a place of contrast,” says Boyd. “When
I’m 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. “I’m
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 Boyd’s itinerary? She’s heading to the
U.S., where she’ll 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,
she’ll 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. “It’s filled with tribal
art, textiles and miles of books on art, sculpture
and furniture. It’s like having a holiday in the most
fabulous library with incredible food and beautiful
gardens,” says Boyd. “It’s a mixture of work and
play and sums up my ideal way to travel.”

Building beautiful things by hand has always been second nature for
furniture designer and craftsman Cody Carpenter, who has become
well-known for his seductive but ever-practical mixed-media
masterpieces, from kitchen and bathroom cabinetry to handsomely
rendered concrete furniture. “I was the kid going on architectural tours
or setting up private lessons with local artists,” says Carpenter. Here,
we talked with the Phoenix native about designing for utility and his
one true love: concrete. codydesigns.com

Describe your aesthetic. Favorite materials:

All of my designs are basically an
exercise in marrying form and
function. I build mostly furnishings
and components for architecture, so
everything must be practical. My
challenge is to design within my
clients’ taste and the functionalities
of the intended use.
What’s your process?
I’m completely old school.
Everything starts on paper: first
conceptual scribbles to get the idea
out and then refining until the design
feels right. I’ll make slight alterations
throughout the fabrication process in
the studio, as well, as all of my
pieces are constantly evolving.
Concrete, steel and wood, first and
foremost. They give me a great
foundation for crafting distinctive
design. I especially love concrete,
though, for its adaptability. It is
completely customizable in terms
of its color, texture and finish.
What do you hope your work provokes?
When people see my pieces, I want
them to feel the amount of time that
has gone into each handcrafted
item—that the work has been made
by someone with an appreciation
for and a love of details. I’d love
for them to have a feeling akin
to walking into a great piece of
architecture for the first time.

new perspectives

Excitement is permeating the kitchen and

bath industry—just talk to an expert, and
you’ll feel it too. Materials, both new and
centuries old, are transcending the
ordinary, even the “high-end” rubric;
instead, they are interesting, they evoke
warmth—they tell a story. The key words
are no longer form and function but rather,
beauty and technology. Together, these
two formerly opposite elements create
intimate spaces that are vividly original.

If there is anything to take away from an exploration into Baldwin Hardware’s products, it
is the following: Quality reigns supreme—always has and always will; continuity of design
accents (i.e., hardware) is important; and hardware should be a direct reflection of the
homeowner’s aesthetic and lifestyle. A legendary name in cabinet and door hardware,
accessories and locks, Baldwin is a staple in the industry, with a strong track record in
creating enduring products. “From our American roots to other parts of the world, we like
to look at what is classic and on trend and make sure our hardware reflects the desires and
aesthetics of the homeowner and design community,” says Baldwin brand manager PJ Rosch.

“Every kitchen requires functional storage

is clever in function,” soltoff says.
“Examples include specialized pantry
systems, specialty fitting dishwashers,
inserts and utensil dividers.”

uBIquItous materIals, reBorn:

In 2015, Eggersmann’s work will reveal
innovative uses of organic materials, such
as concretes and raw wood, as well as
industrial finishes, such as stainless steel,

“It is important to have a specific style
carried throughout the space,” soltoff
asserts. “Many kitchens are a part of and
centered around the living space of the

trim and construction. often, our kitchens
are shown as a juxtaposition or unexpected

Equal parts form and function, eggersmann’s cabinetry delivers beautiful and useful
organizational solutions to the modern home dweller. The company, drawing from more
than 100 years of innovation, trial and achievement, is a driving force behind the concealed
kitchen—a design movement that gives way to gallery-like spaces in the kitchen, and
the cabinetry is art. Using earthborn, organic materials such as raw wood and concrete,
Eggersmann’s ultra sleek and clean-lined cabinetry reimagines modernity in a warm and
inviting fashion. “We start with the most intrinsically raw materials available, including woods,

metals and glass,” shares Eggersmann UsA cEo Michael soltoff. “With these materials used
in various textures, colors and sheens, we constantly push the limits of the basic core
components.” The Eggersmann design foundation is built on key Bauhaus architectural
characteristics—flat, smooth surfaces, cubic shapes, neutral colors and open floor plans
(fundamentally pure and resounding in utility)—and is distinguished by technological feats
in cabinetry composition and ergonomics, such as its electric mechanisms, custom storage,
handle integration and exotic veneers. “The wide availability of parts, components, hardware
and materials across the world has caused a demand and push for incredible leaps and
bounds in innovation of product,” soltoff says. “As electronic technology becomes more
compact and lightweight, we see an increase in automation in our products, and it has
become more of an integrated component of lifestyle, rather than just a cabinet or case good.” 1. This minimalist island is designed with unique

Like jewelry, hardware is a powerful accent that can elevate, contemporize or even transform
aesthetic quality. Equally remarkable is the utility of kitchen and bathroom fixtures and
decorative hardware—an element of residential design that was once left to the discretion
of professionals. Today, plumbing fixtures, accessories and hardware selection are as much a
priority of the homeowner as cabinetry, a by-product of the increase in kitchen and bathroom
remodels and the ubiquity of design ideas and information. In general, people are spending
more on fixtures and hardware and placing greater value on the quality, craftsmanship and
technological capabilities of these new products. california hardware manufacturer newport
Brass, a premium brand of solid brass faucets and fixtures, is a noteworthy name in the

The Côte d’Azur has lured individuals of the art and design worlds
for centuries, and it would appear that its most recent persuasions
over fashion and interiors have us once again longing for a deep
breath of that fresh coastline air. Fashion designer Diane von
Furstenberg looked to the French Riviera for inspiration when
creating her painterly Spring/Summer 2015 RTW collection, giving
nods to Matisse and Picasso, frequenters of this seaside escape,
through fun floral patterns displayed on wispy silks, while San

coastal style when fashioning this impressive haphazard-tiled wall,
exuding ancient references brought into modern day with a striking

FORWARD Many mistake the fact that simplistic design requires less effort, but quite to
the contrary; it’s the simple silhouettes and uncomplicated structures that
change the way design is perceived and experienced. It is this philosophy

that dominates the persona of our next influential city: Copenhagen.
Blonde wood, open shapes and brushed-gold finishes are constant
qualities synonymous with Denmark’s capital. Barber & Osgerby illustrate
the art of this finesse in the Hula stool, which by appearances is seemingly
straightforward, but upon further investigation, offers itself as either fixed
seating or a rocking stool. But perhaps the father of modern Danish design,
Finn Juhl, whose colorful sideboard is shown, sums up quintessential
Copenhagen style best of all with his clean-lined furnishings. “One cannot
create happiness with beautiful objects,” he says, “but one can spoil quite a
lot of happiness with bad ones.”

Feel: The Air sofa is a modern shape

that will feel more classic as time
passes. It seems like a piece that would
inspire our personal aesthetic to grow
and change. Color: The strength of the
color is that it’s a bold shade that acts
as a neutral. The mossy green recalls
nature and feels fresh. Statement:
This silhouette demands attention and
would inform the design of the rest of
the room. It sets a tone of sophistication
and class—you can’t go wrong with
those brass legs! Sense: This piece

cigars, yet with a hint of perfume.

is design and skill passed down from one generation to the next.

What went into fabricating such an

understated yet striking pool?
The 3-acre plot of land had eroded
over the years, offering us a blank
slate to create architectural elements
that would define usable exterior
spaces. We wanted the pool to be
a natural extension of the home’s
spa-like feel. Instrumental in creating
that was the decision to remove the
original kidney-shaped pool, which
was in need of repair and was also
too close to the house. Now the pool
invites one outdoors, reconnecting
its owners with the land.

Tell me more about the uneven walls

and seemingly floating bridges.
Adding functionality and drama, the
layering of spaces and walls creates
privacy while still connecting to the

and a space to watch television
and entertain large groups. It was
important that the furnishings
stay simple in order to create
a harmonious blend with the
proportions of the architecture,
while also being able to withstand
the harsh heat of the Arizona sun.
The result is a generous area with
clean lines and spaces to enjoy
a drink, take a dip in the pool, or
cool off beneath the ramada.
We wanted to create an intimate
European countryside retreat,
reminiscent of staying in an
understated resort. Mimicking
the European design of the main
house, the ramada features the
same materials found in the
home’s interior—neutral, linen-like
fabrics beneath a large, tented
ceiling—that all lend to an open,
airy feel. The space has such
an intimacy about it while also
offering unobstructed views of
Camelback Mountain.
I always like to design any outdoor
area with a large, oversize coffee
table because it can never hurt
to have a place for cocktails and
plenty of hors d’oeuvres. In this
space, for instance, we custom-
designed the slab and base for
the table, which brought a certain
antique feel to the space. I also
always ensure that my fabric
choices are durable and washable,
to stand up against the outdoor
elements. These pieces provide so
many options to enjoy the outdoors.

important than all else when designing a
successful outdoor living space: comfort
and fun. so, he often turns to pergolas
to yield a pretty spot that pushes
people outside. “pergolas are wonderful
because they’re so versatile,” he says.
“they provide shade for those who want
cover but allow light in through their
slats for sun worshippers. depending
on where you sit, you can have a
completely different experience. plus,
draping them in wisteria, climbing roses
or bougainvillea can create a wonderful
sense of place.” hollanderdesign.com

ESSENTIALS
Outdoor furnishings guru John Danzer, of New York-based Munder
Skiles, looks to the history of the genre to craft his timeless, well-built
offerings. Here, he shares his tips for effortless outdoor living.

Take stock: Think about how
you use your home, not only
when you’re there with your
immediate family but when
you’re entertaining extended
family and friends, too.
Simplify: Don’t overcomplicate
your life. My job is complex,
but my furniture is not. Look
for well-designed furniture that
fits the shape of your body
and is naturally comfortable.
Let nature shine: I can’t stand
furniture being too prominent
in a garden. Everything you
bring into your outdoor space
should be able to recede so
you can enjoy the real reason
you’re out there: to be closer
to nature. munder-skiles.com

Container gardens continue to increase in
popularity, as water becomes more of a
valuable commodity, especially in drought-
prone areas like Southern California. Just
because they’re practical, however, doesn’t
also mean they can’t be fun. Los Angeles-
based designer Kathleen Ferguson suggests
using pots in unexpected shapes, colors and
textures to add interest to your outdoor space.
“Succulents and cacti are my favorite plantings
for container gardens,” she says, “but I love
fitting them with herbs and other edibles, too.
They allow you to truly enjoy your garden

A well-done hardscape can unify all the elements in a garden,
which makes it an integral part of the outdoor experience;
however, it can be hard to foster a dreamy, romantic aesthetic
from large expanses of paver or limestone. Integrating some
lush groundcover, like thyme or dichondra, between the stones,
as the Lambert Landscape Company did for this pretty Dallas
home, can completely transform the space. lamberts.net

citing umbrian farmhouses as an influence, a scottsdale design team
crafts a new home based on old-world traditions.

 I
t all started with a single phone call to architect Mark
Candelaria, who had designed several houses in
a development north of Scottsdale where an Ohio
family intended to build their second home. “My
houses don’t have a look—they have a feel,” says
Candelaria. In this case, the clients wanted to feel as if they
were living in a rustic Mediterranean farmhouse. As luck
would have it, the architect runs annual tours of the Italian
countryside, and when he showed his clients pictures of the
19th-century farmhouses in Umbria where he often stays,
the couple were instantly drawn to the craggy stone
houses with terra-cotta roofs, beamed ceilings and tiled
courtyards. “We clicked right away,” Candelaria says.
The husband then commissioned builder Anthony Salcito.
In another bit of serendipity, he happened to live across
the street and had built many homes in the neighborhood.
This was the first project Candelaria and Salcito would work
together on, but both had collaborated for years with designer
David Michael Miller and landscape designer Jeff Berghoff,
the final players to join the team. The three-year project
began to take shape when Candelaria and his clients walked
the property to scope out the best vistas. “At ground level
the views were just so-so,” says the architect, who then
brought in scaffolding so the owners could see the vantage
point from about five feet up. “At that height the views just
exploded and we positioned everything to capture them.”
Utilizing 3D software and Google Earth, the architect
superimposed the evolving design on the property and
drew each window and doorway to perfectly frame the
McDowell Sonoran Preserve, the emerald green of a
nearby golf course and, come sunset, the twinkle of the
city lights. “This house is like an octopus,” Candelaria says
of the sprawling home with multiple wings and connecting
courtyards. “It has all kinds of arms and these cool little
outdoor spaces all around the house.”
Candelaria’s approach resonated with the landscape
designer. “The house is separated and pulled apart,
“I wanted a restful
palette where the
colors harmonIze
and everythIng
melds together.”
-davId mIchael mIller
which created all kinds of views and areas for me to work
with,” says Berghoff, whose landscape plan started with a
100-year-old ironwood tree salvaged from a local property to
be the centerpiece for the cobblestone driveway. “I picked
it just for this project because it is the desert interpretation
of the olive tree so prominent in Italy,” he says. The rest of
the landscaping was calibrated to start outward, with native
plants on the property’s periphery blending seamlessly into
the desert beyond. The plantings start to become more
vibrant closer to the house with roses, lavender, salvia and
bougainvillea, the latter espaliered onto the walls. Even
more color blooms from groupings of antique planters in the
courtyard—layers that soften all that stone. “When you use
old relics, such as these basins and pots, it really makes the
house feel like it has a soul,” he says.
Meanwhile, Salcito, whose firm owns the company that
frames all the houses he builds, made the interior beams
and exposed woodwork speak the same language. “A
house like this is really part of the reason we started a
framing company,” he says, noting that the Douglas-fir
beams were hand-hewn on site. “We achieved the desired
weathered look that the interior designer was going for.”
In turn, Miller formulated the interiors so they would
enhance the architecture and landscape rather than stand
out on their own. Warm, buttery colors and subtle earth
tones, for instance, were chosen so that the rugs, window
treatments and furnishings would echo the hues of the
plaster, wood and stone. “I wanted it to be distraction-
free—a restful palette where all the colors harmonize and
everything melds together,” he explains.
Also paramount was the clients’ desire for a look that was
casual and low-maintenance—important when you have
three nearly grown sons and a large network of friends
and extended family that frequently visit. “They didn’t want
pretentious or fancy or formal,” Miller says. “They wanted the
house to reflect how they lived, so furnishings needed to be
practical in addition to being well-made and well-styled.”
To that end, Miller selected furnishings from such
brands as Paul Ferrante, Rose Tarlow Melrose House and
Dessin Fournir because their pieces had the right scale
and profile to fit the period sensibilities of an old Umbrian
farmhouse. In most cases, the designer also opted for
reproduction antiques and rugs instead of the real thing
so they would hold up well for the busy family. Says Miller:
“We wanted to have the effect of antique and age without
our clients having to live with such delicate things.”
Two years later, Candelaria says the house feels every
bit like a luxurious version of the farmhouses he continues
to visit in Italy, while Miller reports that it’s become more the
family’s primary home than their property in Ohio. Berghoff
adds that the landscape has now matured, making the
home a beacon within its desert surroundings. “It’s like a
mini-resort,” he says. “It’s just paradise, really.”

with concrete as his muse, tempe-based
designer brandon gore crafts sustainable,
minimalist designs with a purpose.

T
he cool, transformable and imperfect
beauty of concrete isn’t something
everyone would call inspiring. But for
Brandon Gore—owner of Tempe-based
Gore Design Company and Hard
Goods—it is endlessly stimulating. “We live in
a world of faux materials, but concrete is real,”
says Gore, who over the years has spent over
35,000 hours mastering the material, created
countless concrete sinks and countertops, and
has even given a TED Talk on the subject.
Most recently, the designer launched a
furniture line constructed entirely of concrete,
steel and wood featuring such functional items as
tables, chairs and ottomans. The line’s signature
ethos of simplicity and reinterpretation—in the
structure, silhouettes and ergonomics—is an
homage to form and function. “Great design is
the least amount of design possible,” says Gore.
“Every aspect should serve a purpose.”
Self-taught, Gore counts concrete master
Buddy Rhodes, whom he studied with in San
Francisco, as a major influence and credits
Phoenix architect Eddie Jones for his foray into
the world of sustainable and environmental
design. One summer, the designer unwittingly
biked past the architect’s home, which he always
stopped to admire every day. “Then, one evening
while at a bookstore, I realized it was his house
when I saw it on the cover of a magazine,” he
says. “It was made of rammed earth and filled
with sustainable finishes, including concrete
countertops. Something sparked within me, and I
knew sustainable construction was my path.”
Gore’s ideals remain at the core of each and
every one of his creations, including his newest
venture: Conservatory of Craft, an e-commerce
business that offers tutorials and advice on all
areas of craft from concrete to metal and
woodworking. The intent of this concept is to
make great design and processes attainable
and achievable in a way where anyone can
tackle meaningful projects and take pride in the
finished result. “I remember what it was like the
first time I de-molded a concrete sink; it was like
Christmas morning when you were five,” he says.
“Everyone should experience the satisfaction of
crafting their own environment.”

FURNISHINGS RESTORES A PARADISE VALLEY HOME
TO ITS EUROPEAN ROOTS.

LUXE INTERIORS + DESIGN / 247

W
hen a couple returned to Arizona after years
of living in Michigan, it was the generous
acreage and spectacular sunset views of
Camelback Mountain that drew them to this
Paradise Valley home. And while its enviable
surroundings is what first appealed to the couple, the
residence also boasted enough old-world charm to
support their Francophile leanings. “We always wanted
a French-style house, and the exterior of this one
looked like something from the French countryside,”
To remedy the situation, the couple hired builder Nancy
Brunkhorst after touring several of her projects. She in
turn introduced them to architect Matthew Thomas and
also provided suggestions for an interior designer—which
included DeCesare, who they promptly hired. “I knew
immediately that Caroline would be able to pinpoint our
desired style,” says the wife.
That style was quickly defined as classic traditional with
a French twist, but “We didn’t want super-fussy or gold
gilt,” says the wife. In response, the team delineated a plan

says the wife.
The home, however, did not come without challenges.
With its oversize porte cochere blocking the entry,
shuttered windows obscuring the natural light, and kitchen
cabinets sporting a shade of blue that went out of vogue
more than two decades ago, no one questioned that the
house was in desperate need of a remodel. “It was like
this 1980s time capsule,” says designer Caroline Tyler
DeCesare. “It was basically a dark box with overscaled
rooms and very narrow hallways that hadn’t been
touched in 30 years.”

was removed and the front entry became more dominant
on the elevation, the home became a more authentic
version of a French Colonial Revival,” says Thomas.
In a similar spirit, whole sections of millwork, along with
large expanses of wallcoverings—such as the mauve
brocade that sheathed the living room—ended up on the
chopping block. “All of the cabinets, millwork and trim were
removed, redesigned and replaced,” says Brunkhorst, who
also oversaw the renovation of the central staircase—an

awkward curving structure that was squared off at the top
with bookcases. After salvaging just the skeleton of the
stairs, an elegant, swooping wrought-iron railing was then
added. For the surrounding plaster walls, the builder called
on her crew of old-world plaster craftsmen to supply the
beautifully rounded surfaces. “The unique, hand-troweled
two-plaster technique is always soft on the eye,” she adds.
To make the house more livable, Thomas opened up
the isolated kitchen to the family room and moved the
dining room—originally tucked under and behind stairs—to
the front of the house and closer to the mountain views.
Then, with the room rearranging complete, DeCesare and
project manager Kelsey Hunzeker got busy establishing a
balance between formal and informal styles, a look more
closely tailored to the needs of the homeowners.
Bergéres sporting printed silk, for instance, signal the
entrance to the formal living room, where, visible through
a new arch in the entry, are a set of shelter-arm sofas
in a linen-velvet. In the dining room, a pair of outmoded
mirrored curio cabinets made way for the owners’ Habersham
reproduction antique cabinets. DeCesare then added a
dark walnut table surrounded by chairs wearing cut-velvet
brocade on the front and a light-colored Fortuny stripe on
the back to provide a fine counterpoint. In contrast, the
family room’s centerpiece is a cushy oversize sectional
backed by a console table comprising a long wood plank
and two metal sawhorses. “The day before the install I was
out hunting for some final items and I saw this monstrously
long table and thought it would make the perfect casual
statement for the room,” says DeCesare.

 Taking informal to yet another level is the game room,
where the dark wood beams inject a rustic feel. Formerly
the television room, the central hangout was reshaped
to strengthen the indoor-outdoor connection. “Before,
the incredible mountain view was totally neglected,” says
Thomas, who added sliding doors that open to the back,
as well as French doors on the opposite wall to maintain
the formality of the front elevation.
When it came time to update the terrain, landscape
designer Jeff Berghoff stepped in. “The property had
been in various states of deferred maintenance for years,”
he says. “But there was a lot of existing vegetation that
only needed to be trimmed and reshaped. So rather than
scrape and rebuild, we opted to enhance the existing
landscape.” To the original pool area, Berghoff added a
ramada and a spa, and then established a walking path
where the owners can stroll to the outskirts of the property
amidst the mesquite, ironwood and other native trees he
planted. “As you move closer to the house, it becomes
more classical, with retaining walls that create panels of A freestanding tub with views to the

become a favorite evening gathering spot to watch the
sunsets, adding to the list of changes that contributed
to the successful refreshment of the property. As the
architect notes: “We were able to redefine the entire
look of the house and elevate it to the standards of
both the owners and the neighborhood.” As for the
homeowners—a couple who pride themselves on having
a welcoming home—this one hit the mark. “The house
is casual and comfortable yet has the classic traditional
style we like so much,” says the wife. “Because that’s
how we are as a couple.”

Architect and designer Catherine Hayes
conceived the table, crafted by Tuberty
Designs, for the glass-ensconced entry
that looks out to the interior courtyard
filled with plantings by landscape
architect Steven Vollmer. The beautifully
scaled antique Turkish runner from
Azadi Fine Rugs complements the large
painting from the homeowners’ collection.

W
hen it comes to designing the perfect
home for her clients, architect and
designer Catherine Hayes is willing
to move mountains—or at least parts
of them. And she did just that while
working on a new Arizona residence for a husband and
wife looking to change their lifestyle. No strangers to the
building process, the couple had previously owned eight
other homes in various styles, however this time around,
they sought something smaller yet still highly sophisticated.
“I started looking at ways we could live differently,” says
the wife, “including ways of living in less square footage.”
This new design would represent an about-face for the
owners both in terms of style and attitude.
The owners’ search for an architect to help answer
their conceptual concerns led to Hayes. Her reputation
as an explorer of many styles and of having a keen
deftness for answering a client’s lifestyle needs and
aesthetic sensibilities immediately won the wife over.
“Once I met Cathy I knew she was the one,” she says
of their instant connection. So, when Hayes presented
a plan for a 3,600-square-foot house built around a
courtyard, her well-traveled clients were delighted. “I was
coincidentally always trying to draw courtyard homes
while traveling,” says the wife.
Since the locale in question backed up to a mountain,
the house would end up being just 10 feet away, with its
windows, doors and patios looking out onto the face of it.
“Because of this, we meticulously feathered the mountain
back to both stabilize the face and bring out the natural
beauty of the hillside’s colors, shadows and shapes,”
says Hayes, who teamed up with builder Greg Hunt to
deal with the challenging terrain. “The foundation and

 Opposite: Sofas and ottomans from Gloster’s Bloc collection make for comfortable seating on the patio. Mindful
of the hillside desert, the linear terrace helps create a privacy buffer while still opening up to the views.

Below: In the living room, a bench upholstered in a Spinneybeck woven suede-leather joins a pair of leather

topography were essentially one and the same,” says
Hunt. “Where required, we drilled all of the foundation
footings into the mountain’s base.” Meanwhile, they
salvaged every piece of rock for later use and set out
to design a flat-roofed structure that would sit low into
its surroundings.
Fashioned from glass, steel, rock and plaster, the home’s
design called for a generously proportioned living, dining
and kitchen area, as well as a master bedroom, guest
bedrooms, a small library for the husband and an office
for the wife—all assembled around a lushly landscaped
interior courtyard. Floor-to-ceiling, operable glass walls
that define the outdoor areas allow light to flow through
the public spaces, while the openings are free of the visual
distraction of thresholds underfoot. Although a small detail,
it’s among the reasons for the resulting clean aesthetic.
“There is no room for error in a contemporary home,”
says Hunt. “The architecture is deceptively simple, but
unforgiving in terms of quality and expectation.” The two-tiered island in the

interior design, began by establishing a palette that
connected to the colors in the mountain by employing a
cashmere hue on all of the walls. “The choice was made
early on to have the architecture be a warm, natural color
inside and out in order to have the building planes create
a calm and sophisticated composition,” says Hayes.
This tone is first established in the foyer, where glass
walls complement the warm wood floors and ceiling.
In the living and dining areas, luxuriously upholstered
furnishings feature fabrics selected to mimic the colors

are from Crate & Barrel.
Opposite: Matching granite vanities in the master bathroom are from Old World Tile & Granite; the ceiling fixture is by Artemide

outdoors, two leather Minotti armchairs in the living room
swivel to take in the views, while the master bedroom’s
gossamer-upholstered platform bed looks out to a line of
perfectly pruned Bradford pear trees.
The indoor-outdoor connection continues in the simple
yet polished kitchen, which boasts windows along the
east and south walls that face a terrace decorated with a
black granite water feature, long sofas and a dining table
custom-designed to seat 14 guests. The homeowners’ art
collection was then integrated into the interiors, with one
of their favorite pieces hanging in the foyer. The piece
seems to float in front of the glass wall overlooking the
courtyard, while the back of the painting is faced with
a custom screen in a subtle pattern of olive leaves that
seamlessly blends with the olive tree within the courtyard.
The courtyard is where landscape architect Steven
Vollmer tailored the plantings to various settings,
including the creation of a micro-garden of swordtail
ferns. “We layered shades of green for a cooling effect,”
says Vollmer, who also introduced more resilient plantings
on the perimeter of the home. Farther from the house,
agaves and succulents hold their own against the striking
mountainside, which the architect shaped into a sculptural
façade in perfect harmony with its site.
The rock material removed earlier appears throughout
the space. “All of the rock inside and outside the house
was taken directly from the mountain,” says Hayes. The
resulting effect grounds the residence, making it feel as
if it belongs exactly where it is. And the owners also feel
they are where they belong, recognizing that out of all
their homes, this is their favorite. “It’s the best,” the wife
says, “and it will, most likely, be the last.”
