Bridge for Design Spring 2014

Bridge for Design Spring 2014

he latest project of London-based interiors firm Louis Henri is a breathtaking apartment located in one of Paris’ most desirable neighbourhoods. Located on the fashionable Avenue Montaigne, this generously proportioned lateral apartment has been extensively remodeled to exacting standards. The private client is an international, multi-generational family who wanted a home away from home, a sanctuary within the City of Lights. They requested a glamorous interior that drew inspiration from traditional French style, but melded with modern elegance and high-tech performance and security. It was of particular importance for the family to have separate, defined entertaining areas and personal spaces. The four generous reception rooms now serve the former purpose, while the four ensuite bedrooms are the epitome of comfort and relaxation. The clients asked that the focus of the project be to create a completely bespoke and unique interior, which was reflected in the project cost. Rather than being constrained by timelines and budgets, the team at Louis Henri was given free reign to use the best possible materials and craftsmen to create this high-spec home. ‘We wanted something that felt location-specific,’ Louis Henri Buhrmann says. ‘The clients are international business people who love Paris and do business in France’ ► T ¨ INSPIRED BY | Louis Henri


‘I did about 170 trips to Paris, staying in a different hotel almost every time. If you want a Moroccan look, you can’t just look in a book – you have to go to Morocco to live it.’ Louis started from scratch with this project, changing virtually every room in the apartment to create a fresh layout which feels both spacious and intimate. The space was stripped back to the bones before being rebuilt using the finest finishes. The completed space is an inspiring blend of traditional French elegance and contemporary style. The vast amount of marble in the scheme is entirely handpolished, with some bathrooms taking over two months to install due to the exquisite detail. The guest cloakroom even features a solid, aluminium-framed marble door that blends seamlessly with the wall. ‘The execution from the marble workers was more than I could have dreamed of,’ says Louis. ‘It took them about four months to install all the marble. Styling the space took just as much attention and time. The breakfast nook features hand-painted silk walling, while the adjoining corridor boasts a deep-etched, LED-lit glass wall which brings light into the kitchen. Nearly everything in this apartment has been custom designed to suit the environment. Louis’ brother, a master cabinetmaker, crafted the key pieces of furniture in South Africa, including the three-tiered walnut bookcase in the sitting room, which is inlayed with églomisé and finished with solid walnut detailing. ‘The largest part of the project was finding the right people to do the work,’ he says. ‘Those who did the woodwork were fourthgeneration carpenters. We used workshops in St Germain that have been there since Napoleon’s time.’ The bespoke lighting, which features in the principal rooms of the apartment, was also designed in-house, and created using the combined skills of artisans from Murano, London, Paris and the United States. The sitting room chandelier alone has nearly 200 components, each meticulously created to achieve a singular statement which complements the sweeping curves in the room. Even the door handles were designed by Louis Henri, developed from a sketch and brought to life over the course of eight months by a foundry in New York. ‘Everything we found was either very classic or too Deco – nothing was quite the look we were going for’, explains Louis. With so many family members to design for, one of Louis’ more difficult tasks was the blending of individual styles, and the seamless integration of classic French ambiance with 21st Century comfort while maintaining a cohesive style. Especially challenging was incorporating high-end technology throughout the space. The apartment features an intuitive, custom developed programme for controlling every aspect of the environment; climate, audio, lighting and security are controlled via iPods that dock discreetly behind every door. Nowhere is the juxtaposition of new and old more apparent than in the media room, which at first glance could be a formal French library. Hidden behind its silk-covered walls are top-end speakers, and the wall of faux books, constructed of leather by a traditional ► INSPIRED BY | Louis Henri

A particularly successful bespoke detail is the stained-glass window in the entrance hall, which acts as both a focal point and a room divider, separating the public and private areas of the apartment. In a second home, it’s not always practical to have fresh flowers every day, but Louis Henri wanted visitors to the apartment to be greeted by colour and life. He envisioned a design that would create a statement in the entrance hall any day of the year, as the first thing one sees when entering the home. In addition to the visual impact it creates, the glass wall serves a functional purpose by carving out an extra eating space from the large hallway, achieving space and privacy without sacrificing the amount of light in the entry. The production of this centerpiece was a feat of logistics in itself, combining the efforts of skilled tradespeople in three different continents. In a project like this, nothing was left to chance. ‘We very much control everything,’ says Louis. ‘I have more than a dozen files just of details, specs and samples. It was all very much tried and tested beforehand. We’ll make mock-ups and 3D models of things. You can’t order a £20k chandelier and find it doesn’t look right. It needs to be perfect.’ ‘I love detail,’ says Henri. ‘The life is in the detail.’ ‘Having worked with so many dedicated craftsmen on this project, I’m more certain than ever that quality will never go out of style.’■ B Louis Henri Buhrmann Penthouse 4, No. 5 Havelock Terrace, London, SW8 4AS T: +44 (0)20 7622 8343 | www.louishenri.com ¨ For more details about Louis Henri Buhrmann, ¨ CLICK HERE


Miles Redd Inspired by A New York couple turned to designer Miles Redd to update a grand townhouse for their young family Text DAVID COLMAN | Photographs SIMON UPTON / The Interior Archive


In the study, the Climate sectional sofa by Dune is topped with pillows covered in Clarence House’s Labyrinth silk, the Pacific Airline cocktail table is from Hinson & Co., and the French leather and palisander armchairs date from the 1940s: a collection of figurative and abstract drawings hangs on walls lacquered chocolate brown.


efore you decide to decorate a house, a word of advice: take a good, long look in the mirror. Liz Weinstien did, and wasn’t pleased by what she saw. “I didn’t like it,” she said,“but Miles convinced me to go with it, and as usual, he was right.” A word of explanation. She wasn’t scrutinising her own reflection. Rather, she was looking at a towering wall of smoky, antiqued-mirror panels that presided over the west side of the living room of the Manhattan townhouse she and her husband, Steve, had purchased. At first, and even second, glance, the panels seemed like an eyesore – a sad yet sweet remnant of the way people used to live and decorate, joining such erstwhile luxuries as the butler’s pantry and formal dining rooms on the list of what people would just as soon do without today. But Miles Redd, the young designer whom she charged with redoing the place, looked at the expanses of silvery, obsolescent iridescence and saw two things. First, as décor’s boy wonder is wont to do, he saw himself, and second, he saw his client. “They’re one of my favourite things about the house,” he says of the panels. They ended up keeping the mirrors, channelling their old-school Hollywood glamour for the rest of the house, nimbly demonstrating Miles’ central design philosophy: don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. All too often, people come to a renovation with the words ‘gut job’ fixed in their minds – not only can you start fresh, but you can also get exactly what you want. In theory, that is. But Weinstein likes to embrace the past – this is a woman who, the last time she went apartment shopping, ended up buying the very same Upper East Side apartment she had grown up in. But as her family expanded to include three sons, it became clear that an upgrade was in order. ► B TOP: The tufted chaise by Oscar de le Renta for Century Furniture is upholstered in Ralph Lauren Home’s Shelbourne Woven, the floor lamp is by Visual Comfort, and the porcelain garden seat and rococo-style mirror are from Treillage. RIGHT: The living room sofa is upholstered in Lee Jofa’s Rochelle Velvet, the side chairs are covered in embroidered soutache by Penn & Fletcher.


TOP: The custom-made Venetian-style sofa is upholstered in Lyons silk velvet by Decorators Walk; the cocktail table is by Matthews & Parker. BOTTOM: Georgian giltwood mirror and a pair of horns, both from John Russell International; the 19th-century Minton garden seat is from Niall Smith Antiques. The couple opted for a quirky townhouse complete with elevator, solarium, and formal dining room, the grand residence of an older couple with no children. On the advice of a friend, Weinstein went to see Miles at his NoHo townhouse. “As soon as I met Miles, I loved him,” she says. “He’s so personable, and I knew instantly that we have virtually the same aesthetic. I love painted wood floors; he had painted wood floors. I love animal prints and pony-skin and chinoiserie; he had it all.” But as much as Weinstein wanted a house with character, she didn’t want a traditional interior. “I don’t believe in saving rooms for special occasions,” she says. For Miles, the trick was reworking the old fashioned way the house had functioned for its previous owners while keeping its great bones. For example, the garden level was completely rethought: the formal dining room, with its ruched-fabric ceiling, and the industrial catering kitchen both got the heave-ho; in their stead is a mudroom for coats and bikes, a breakfast nook with a rich leather banquette, a warm, kid friendly kitchen and a dual family/dining room painted a deep red that’s both elegant and relaxed. The upstairs rooms were likewise done up in old-world fabrics and finishes that convey both glamour and fun, including Steve’s ►

BOTTOM LEFT: A powder room sheathed in glass mosaic tiles by Ann Sacks; the sconces are by Ann-Morris Antiques. modern chocolate-brown study and the charmingly tented solarium off the master bedroom. “A lot of the bolder things I wasn’t sure about,” Weinstein admits. “But I trust Miles. And at the end of the day, he’s always right.” Miles considers the place one of his most gratifying projects, because Weinstein let him spread his wings with a freedom that few clients grant – or ultimately appreciate. That freedom is most gloriously demonstrated in the house’s main floor, a 60-foot long stretch. “You usually don’t get that kind of loft like space in a townhouse,” Miles says. He started with a bright red oriental carpet and then went on a colour spree, mixing other reds with greens, including a striking viridian velvet sofa and, a holdover from the last owners and Steve’s only request, a huge pool table. “The pool table wasn’t my first choice,” she says. “I wanted a big library table, but Steve really stayed out of my hair during this, and Miles said, ‘Let’s give it to him.’ And it’s fun. Steve will have a stressful day and he can come home and shoot a few balls. That’s why we use the living room, because it’s there.” The result, pool table and all, is a remarkable synthesis of old and new, grand and casual. It’s certainly not futuristic. But it works very well in the present, and that’s the only tense worth living in.

INSPIRED BY |John Stefanidis Richard Shapiro Inspired by This well-travelled antique dealer and avid collector shares his love of old European design style Text RICHARD SHAPIRO | Photographs MIGUEL FLORES VIANNA / The interior Archive


INSPIRED BY |Richard Shapiro have always been obsessed with history, distant lands and the idea of attempting to transport myself back, in a timetraveller’s way, to a different time and place. My medium was, and remains, design. Not the decorative or pretty kind, not the text book version, but rather the sort of casually orchestrated design, which I find all over Europe and which expresses an attitude which is completely different to that to be found in America. After years of travel, I was struck and fascinated by the old surfaces and patinas I discovered on European buildings, which had been left to continue their eternally corrosive path. In America, the slightest blemish immediately brings out a house painter or a bottle of industrial solvent! In Europe, I found myself walking up to walls and putting my face as close as possible to the surface, in order to absorb and analyse the antiquity that Europeans take so much for granted. I wanted to determine how and if it were possible to duplicate such patinas artificially for myself once I returned home. I soon realised that the more decorated and engineered an interior or exterior looked, the less I liked it. The prettier it got, the more it repulsed me. OPPOSITE: The garden pavilion was built in 2001 and is based on the 16th-century Palladian portico of the Villa Chiericati in Vancimuglio.

As an antique dealer and an avid collector of post-war contemporary art, I have been privileged to travel far and wide in my pursuits. With this came the opportunity to meet a great many wonderful fellow dealers and collectors and often to visit their amazing homes, which was a revelation for me – to see how such people lived and, in particular to witness how they lived with their things. I observed a common characteristic running through each of these individuals: they were skilled editors, certainly, and they gathered effortlessly around them the extravagant and the simple in such a relaxed and unfussy manner that art, furnishings and objects appeared to be arranged in almost naïve combinations. These dealers were not in search of perfection or elegance, but rather they sought the serenity of a simple, pared down composition. Inside their homes, I found there was a great deal for me to learn, for these dealers and collectors, who had been immersed in history and culture virtually their entire lives, manifested a very different view to the placement and juxtaposition of objects and possessions that I had found in America. My immediate thought was how I could capture a little of this interpretation and implement it back in Los Angeles. How could I learn to emulate this European style of design? I began to realise that for me the terms ‘design’ and ‘decoration’ were almost inappropriate, since what I was seeking was a philosophical zone of spirituality and expertise. This did not mean that I eschewed beautiful things, precious things, expensive things; on the contrary, I loved them all, if, and only if, they both belied and ► TOP LEFT: A view of the large library-like master bedroom, which has several seating areas and houses a large portion of Shapiro’s collection of reference books MIDDLE LEFT: Richard Shapiro perched on a 16th-century French Henri II banquette below a 1962 Gunter Uecker nail piece.

INSPIRED BY |Richard Shapiro reinforced a point of view and the core philosophy of the owner and could blend intelligently with more humble objects. I realised that I needed to put aside any concern for the judgement of others, that I should be spontaneous, open-minded and embrace a spirit of adventure. Once these principles were in place, a tremendous sense of liberation came over me. Of course, I was determined to avoid another horrible faux Tuscan monstrosity so common in Los Angeles. I wanted an authentic, European and, in my case, Italian environment, one so convincing that any sophisticated European visiting from abroad would forget instantly, as he passed through my gate and into the entrance hall of my home, that he was in Los Angeles. I had already amassed an exemplary collection of post-war art, which included great examples of such luminaries as Judd, Rauschenberg, Twombly, Lewitt, Richter, Manzoni, Fontana and Warhol. I had seen many similarly wonderful collections on my travels and was most impressed when they were displayed in ancient, somewhat shabby villas, played off against frescos, splintered beams and worn stone floors. I am always perplexed by discerning Americans who, after travelling extensively to Italy and France, return home ►

Instead they hire an architect who lacks the necessary understanding of art and authentic classical reproduction to enable him to copy faithfully from the original. By Los Angeles standards, I was fortunate to have found a fairly good Spanish-Moorish styled home, which I felt in the right hands could assume the aura that had so beguiled me in Europe. I read, studied and schooled myself in the art of creating an “old/ new” house or a “new/old” house, in the belief that copying an existing property was the key. My secret was never to go too far nor to embark on a process or technique which, after analysis, could not duplicate exactly the wear, patina and antiquity of the “real thing”. In addition, it was equally important that the exterior of my “villa” possessed no characteristic that would give it away as a Californian imposter. The property is encircled by 25-foot hedges and huge stands of bamboo, its exterior walls are encrusted with overgrown vines and the once salmon-coloured awnings are black from years of dirty rainwater. However, once inside, the visitor has no inkling that the house is not located in Sicily, Seville or Rome. The brackish stone pool in the garden, anchored at one end by an absolutely faithful reproduction of a Palladian portico, suitably eroded, patinated and weatherbeaten by a skilled Hollywood set designer, further reinforces the illusion. Clearly a folly, I like to tell my more gullible friends that it is the only surviving Roman ruin in the United States! The extensive boxwood garden was inspired by the Chateau de Marqueyssac in south-west France. ►

Wenge Columbus nightstand from Michael Reeves Antique Burmese Buddha. t school Michael Reeves told his career adviser that he wanted to be a fashion designer and years later he did just that spending 20 successful years in the business. His move into interior design came about when a young couple who had bought his London apartment and loved his style asked him to redesign their new home and this led to further commissions: an appartment by John Pawson and projects in New York and Connecticut. It wasn’t long before Michael set up in New York and with his talent quickly being recognised, his work frequently graced the pages of the glossy magazines. Michael returned to London in 1995 and opened up a modest shop in Brompton Cross where he sold an amalgamation of furniture, objects and art from new pieces to antiquities. “I bought at auction and re-styled furniture to put my own stamp on it. In 1998 I designed my first range of furniture, both upholstered pieces and case goods. This collection was launched in the Joseph flagship store on the Fulham Road, displayed with mannequins wearing Prada. From there I moved into much larger premises to accommodate the furniture.” This proved to be an exciting year as he also went on to win the highly coveted Andrew Martin International Interior Designer of the year award. There are so many projects Michael is proud of and four years ago, he undertook a refurbishment on a property he had bought for himself. Based in a purpose built apartment building on the banks of the Thames, it features beautiful uninterrupted views towards Chelsea. The project took just six weeks to complete. “I usually get a feeling of the completed refurbishment at the first viewing of a property. Design always begins with any changes to ► A

The flow of traffic through the space is the most important aspect to me. The secondary aspects of colour, furniture layouts, lighting etc, follow quickly after with accessories, rugs and cushions as later additions.” “I did the work so quickly as I had a clear vision of what I wanted. I gathered together all the chosen component parts and juxtaposed them within the space. I often arrange furniture and rugs on the diagonal and this became the best solution. Diagonal lines in boringly square rooms really enliven the space.” “Because the apartment faces South West, it is extremely bright. I wanted a dark colour to counteract the glare from the afternoon sun, so most of the walls and ceilings are in a dark taupe colour. After many samples, the colour I finally chose was actually the colour of the Thames on a cloudy day, however, this was not a conscious decision!” “For continuity I used flat emulsion paint. I installed wooden floors in the main living areas, with a taupe/grey wash finish. I wanted to get the background to be unobtrusive so that the art and furniture took centre stage. The existing upholstered furniture I already had from ►

I used the silver table and tabouret stools to reflect light.” “The seating in the main living area are my Madison 1 1/2 seat sofas and a daybed, all slip-covered for the summer. In the bedroom the screen was from my showroom along with the bed-head and nightstands.” “All the windows have a river view and that is the focus; to the outside. Window treatments are kept to a minimum of semi-sheer curtains and Holland roller blinds. “The main focal pieces are a huge abstract painting by the American artist Diane Carl and an abstract painted six-fold Chinese screen I found in a showroom in Miami. Both add drama to the space and because they are both predominately black, they make the walls appear lighter in colour.” “On a daily basis, I love the tranquil, calming effect the apartment gives me. Friends and visitors are all affected in the same way. I use the daybed with the reading light almost daily. It’s a great, comfortable spot to read a magazine with a G & T in the evening. I also like to cook a lot and the simple kitchen works amazingly well.” Whilst Michael’s designs are instantly recognisable from his debut furniture range, he doesn’t consider himself to have a signature style, instead he designs in a style that befits each property and chooses furniture from other designers for projects too. His influences are vastly panoptic with a nod to travel and he believes rules are there to be broken. “However, there are some ► TOP: ‘Madison’ one-and-a-half seat sofa, upholstered in De le Cuona linen.

details I prefer to stipulate. I believe ceilings should always be painted the same colour as the walls, never in contrasting white. The same goes for woodwork trims, I generally paint the wood trims in a darker tone of the wall colour, seldom lighter, and never white. This anchors the room more for me. I always want light switches and door furniture to be no higher than 90cm from the floor.” “If there are good architectural windows and good views, don’t clutter the windows with unnecessary curtains, maximise the light. I add as many light sources as possible so that the mood of a room can be easily changed.” “All lighting must be able to be dimmed. Don’t hang pictures and art too high on the wall and really think about somewhere slightly off-beat and more interesting than over a fireplace or dead centre of a wall.”.....

Lars Bolander Inspired by The scandinavian-born interior designer shows off his Palm Beach home Text RITA KONIG | Photographs SIMON UPTON / The Interior Archive For more details about Lars Bolander, CLICK HERE


ne of America’s leading interior designers and tastemakers, Lars Bolander, calls Palm Beach ‘home’ after having lived in New York, Paris, Washington, London, and his native Sweden. This house, which he designed and finished about three years ago, is decorated with items bought over the course of his 30-year globe-trotting marriage to business partner, Nadine Kalachnikoff. Their style has depth, thanks to a fearless combination of classical and ethnic pieces set against a pale Scandinavian palette. Just like at the eponymous shops Lars maintains in New York’s Meatpacking District and on the Dixie Highway in Palm Beach, he favours a mix of 19th-century antiques, painted furniture, contemporary art and sculpture, and decorative objects picked up in the Far East and Morocco. All this mingled with comfortable upholstery and lots of books and family photographs, makes for a home that’s as cosy as it is striking. On the release of Lars Bolander’s Scandinavian Design, a visual history and guide to the style, he talks about how his design ideas have shaped his home. ► O Lars Bolander 3731 South Dixie Hwy, West Palm Beach, FL 33405 T: +001 561 832 2121 | www.larsbolander.com For more details about Lars Bolander, CLICK HERE


Welcoming Entrance The exterior of his house (above) is a mix of architectural ideas pinched from around the world. The door surround is in a Dutch South African style and the stone dogs are reproductions purchased in Spain. The wonderfully heavy pair of wooden doors from Brazil take you from the hot Florida sun into a cool grey entrance hall. Grey is a colour that Lars is not afraid to use a lot. “I am a very grey person,” he says with a slightly wry tone. Playing with Scale In a nook off the living room (left), a large Henry Koehler artichoke painting illustrates Lars’ fondness for hanging large artworks on small walls. Decorating a large room can be daunting. Oversized art is a quick way to temper any feeling of emptiness. The picture hanging over the sofa anchors the rest of the pictures, which climb the walls from the floor, and push the eye up to the ceiling for an even greater sense of space. On hanging, Lars is very clear: “Big pictures in the centre, the smaller ones around the edge. And one wall per room is enough.” Invitation to Sit There isn’t a corner in this house where you can’t plunk yourself down and perch for a minute. A table, pair of chairs and sculptural lamp (opposite) decorate this exterior passageway. Lars treats exterior spaces like interior ones. The wall here is hung with carved wooden stag’s heads.


138 Bridge for Design Spring 2014 Personal Narrative Lars expertly mingles his Swedish heritage—pale palette, painted furniture, classical busts—with souvenirs from his travels (top). A Calming Bedroom The master bedroom’s cantaloupe and grey palette makes for a soothing space (bottom left). A Gustavianstyle sofa at the end of the bed adds dimension to the room and doubles as a handy spot to toss clothes. The windows have cane shades and the French doors have silk curtains. It’s the sort of thing that might not seem right as an idea, but in reality looks absolutely perfect. Decorating the Terrace Apple-green-painted walls provide a wonderful tropical antidote to the house’s traditional Gustavian palette, as does the deep Balinese sofa, upholstered in raspberry-coloured quilts (left). There are clever, inexpensive details here too, like the mirror framed in wood and simple parsons tables, both painted the colour of the walls. I love the large wall hanging of an horse—it’s a fabulous graphic. Hanging art outside just takes the biscuit in chic.

It also echoes the long low feeling of the house. A mass of palms and other tropical plants, the garden couldn’t be a more cheerful match to the rather sophisticated interior. ■ B
