WHY THE BOSTON DESIGN CENTER?

When Jamestown had the opportunity to purchase The Innovation and

Design Building (IDB) and with it the Boston Design Center (BDC),

we did so with a specific plan in mind. The BDC appealed to us as an

independent design center in the great city of Boston with the added

value of drawing design and innovation professionals from around New

England. We want to be the steward for positioning the BDC as a leader

and innovator in how people engage with design centers in the future.

WHAT IS THE PLAN?

We intend to make the BDC relevant on a global scale. The IDB

represents one of the largest buildings in Boston. As part of our plan,

we intend to provide more options for dining, access to the public, and a

better pedestrian environment. We have worked with our existing, valued showroom tenants and have

incorporated them into the planning efforts. We aim to foster a mix of complementary industrial and

commercial uses within the IDB complex. For example, we will seek maker spaces to support the design

center as well as industry furniture makers, architecture firms and construction companies. Our plan

will bring additional amenities to the ground floor, such as a coffee shop, newsstand, and showrooms,

all opening onto a pedestrian promenade. Our experience in other markets has shown that access to

amenities is a key consideration for companies as they make location decisions and seek to recruit top

talent and grow their businesses.

WILL THE DESIGN CENTER MODEL CHANGE?

The IDB benefits from being home to one of the largest clusters of design showrooms and professionals

in the Northeast. We view the BDC as the anchor to the IDB. The BDC will continue to showcase its

established trade showrooms. In addition, our plan calls for opening the center's first floor to showrooms

that will reach both the trade and the end consumer. With the enhancement of the speaker series,

existing best-in-class local and national showrooms, new ground floor showrooms that open onto IDB’s

pedestrian promenade, and comprehensive interior renovations, the BDC will thrive for decades to

come under Jamestown’s stewardship.

SummER IN NEW ENGLaND

Quadrille owner John Knott and Designer John Fondas aboard their picnic

and lobster boat Shangri-La, built in 1958 by Bunker and Ellis. Quadrille will

open its first Boston showroom at the BDC this Spring.

WHAT TYPES OF PROGRAMS?

One of my favorite features in ID BOSTON is Bibliophile Boston. It’s an ideal springboard for reimagining our book and author

lecture series. This spring we welcome design talent and best selling author Tom Scheerer to the BDC with one of our newest

tenants, Quadrille, who will host a book signing and cocktail reception following the lecture.

We are looking at everything with a fresh set of eyes and exploring new partnerships that we hope will appeal to our loyal

followers and also bring a new audience to the building. We had great success with the partners of Tilton Fenwick who led

guests in a program called The Social Network: Using Your Connections to Elevate Your Brand, moderated by Erin Gates of the

blog Elements of Style. Duralee recently launched their fabric collection and hosted a bloggers brunch in real time with live

tweets.

The BDC partnered with the New England Chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art to develop a panel on

the importance of building classical residences that can last for generations when done right the first time. Waterworks

graciously hosted the reception.

WILL ENHaNCED TECHNOLOGY PLaY a ROLE?

In essence, we envision the BDC as a front-end portal and thought leader that will act as a bridge, joining design professionals,

retailers, restaurants, trade showrooms, the makers’ market, and our neighbors in the Boston Seaport. We also want to be

a resource for the domestic and international leadership that comes to Boston and New England through institutions like

Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Rhode Island School of Design. How will we do this? By creating a world

class design center that is a destination because of its mixed-use composition, superior programming, digital work spaces,

and state-of-the-art search engines for sourcing the BDC’s vast array of products, resources, and services.

Jamestown was established in 1983 as an investment and management company focused on income-producing real estate

in the United States. Over the last 30 years, Jamestown has expanded from a regional property investor into a national,

vertically integrated real estate operator. The Boston Design Center is one of the latest properties to join Jamestown. With

many celebrated national and international brands located on-site in more than 70 showrooms, the BDC is filled with the

most impressive resources available in New England. Michael Phillips is chief operating officer of Jamestown and the creative

leader responsible for establishing the vision and execution strategy for Jamestown’s real estate projects. Michael is the

recipient of the 2010 Urban Land Institute “Development of Excellence” award for the White Provision development and the

Urban Design Commission award for the Westside Urban Market development.

DEAR READERS

There are no coincidences in life – when Jamestown Chief Operating

Officer Michael Phillips invited me to his offices atop Chelsea Market

in New York to discuss an exciting new project in Boston, my curiosity

was immediately piqued. In acquiring the Boston Design Center, there

was a small magazine, more similar to a newsletter, that was part of the

package, and he wanted me to work with his team to reimagine it into a

resource that would align with his big picture vision for the BDC.

Just as there are no coincidences – you are only as good as the company

you keep. Putting together a magazine from scratch could be considered

a daunting task. Not so when you are buoyed by talent like that of

Creative Director George Krauth and his right hand Caroline Sholl. We

agreed the quatrefoil of our focus should be design, style, culture, and

cuisine. We started beating the bushes, went shopping and called upon

our friends in the industry and within the building to share ideas.

My editorial method relies heavily on what is on my radar screen and maybe selfishly, things I covet. I

am wild about the unabashed mix of bold patterns and punchy color combinations that Quadrille owner

John Knott and designer John Fondas stirred up in their Maine summer house, shot with pristine clarity

by Bjorn Wallander. Chintz has never gone out of style in my own house so I was inspired to see which

floral patterns top designers gravitated towards.

This issue has also left me with a must-do-must-have list. Good design isn’t just about pretty decorating

– it is about a way of life. We wanted ID BOSTON to go beyond the four walls of the BDC and reach out

to our neighbors in Boston and throughout New England. I am bursting to:

· Visit Twin Farms to hike those purple mountains in Vermont;

· Attend Chef Barbara Lynch’s Full Plate women’s networking luncheon series at Menton;

· Shop the Nina Campbell for Osborne & Little Collection for black chintz, a recent obsession;

· Find a rug for my sun porch from David Kleinberg’s Rug Collection at Patterson, Flynn & Martin;

· Splurge on a Asprey's Sueded Bullskin GMT Traveller – perfect for the Delta Shuttle; and

· Return to XV Beacon for a dreamy stay in Boston.

We want to hear from you and hope that you will share ideas, so please be in touch - cbreen@

A SuMMER REFugE

At their island retreat, John Fondas and John Knott have mixed bold colors and pattern in a fresh, new American style

words by jennifer boles · photography by bjorn wallander interior design by john knott & john fondas

For John Fondas and John Knott, an interior designer and the owner of Quadrille

fabrics, respectively, home base might be Manhattan, but when it comes to beating

a summertime retreat from the city’s hustle and bustle, the partners head to Little

Cranberry Island, Maine, where their circa-1905 cottage is located within viewing

distance of majestic Acadia National Park. Seeking “a camp experience,” Fondas

and Knott eschewed luxury decorating, choosing instead to play up the house’s

unpretentious architecture as well as its sylvan setting.

First up was the task of renovating the house, which was originally built as a hotel for

summer rusticators. After careful consideration, the homeowners decided to remove

some of the interior’s abundant walls, transforming 19 cell-like bedrooms into a set

of living, dining, and bedrooms that are now more graciously proportioned. Doors,

windows, and flooring, all of which are original to the house, were meticulously

restored to their former radiance, while the addition of heating and air-conditioning

was deemed unnecessary, considering that Fondas and Knott only reside in the

house during the summer months.

Once the bones of the house were restored, the couple turned their gimlet eyes

to the home’s interiors, which are a blend of antiques, twentieth-century design

classics, and Americana – a mix that Knott refers to as “the flotsam and jetsam

of decorating” – as well as some really great fabrics. While some of the home’s

furnishings came from the couple’s former New York country house, much of the

rest had been purchased over the years and squirreled away in storage. In one of

the guest rooms, you’ll find a bed that once belonged to society doyenne Jayne

Wrightsman, while in another, a Billy Baldwin-designed slipper chair.

For all of the home’s pedigreed, high-style pieces, the interiors remain down to earth

and all-American looking. Perhaps no room is as quintessentially American as the

red, white, and blue bedroom of Fondas, whose fascination with George Washington

ON THE COAST OF MAINE

In the aptly-named “Neoclassical room”, Quadrille’s

snappy Lane Stripe fabric covers both a sofa and chair,

while a graphic-looking version of Les Indiennes, also

by Quadrille, appears both as curtains and on a Billy

Baldwin-designed slipper chair. China Seas’ Melong Batik

wallpaper surrounds the space.

began during his Bahamian childhood. Surrounding the room’s

rare American Empire bed is Quadrille’s Independence Toile, which

tells the tale of this country’s fight for independence. Based on

a late eighteenth century English document print, the toile

features Benjamin Franklin, the Liberty Bell, and founding father

George Washington, who is being pulled in a chariot by leopards.

Fanciful? Perhaps, but the toile’s use makes sense considering

that “no place is more Fourth of July than Maine,” according to

Fondas.

In fact, the entire house is furnished with Quadrille’s charming

printed fabrics, which Knott credits with creating a “happy

environment.” Ikats, batiks, and the aforementioned toile, all

rendered in updated colors, infuse the house with a modern,

upbeat attitude, one which is very much at home with its

surroundings. Fondas notes that “the house has a real American

spirit, which is also the spirit that runs through these fabrics.”

And the same could be said of the homeowners themselves,

whose very-American enthusiasm and can-do attitude have

given their summer place a sunny, carefree personality. As Knott

so concisely put it, “The house is fun. It’s not too ponderous or

serious.”


Fondas and Knott eschewed luxury decorating, choosing instead to play up the house’s unpretentious

architecture as well as its sylvan setting RESOURCE KEY

1 In one of the house’s eight bedrooms, the aqua and white

tones of Alan Campbell’s Meloire Reverse, used for the bed’s

accent pillow, are repeated in the room’s wallpaper,

Balinese Batik by China Seas.

2 A simple yet stylish kitchen reflects the homeowners’

preference for casual entertaining. Adding to the kitchen’s

rustic charm is its wallpaper, Parquetry by Quadrille.

3 Fondas and Knott’s days on Little Cranberry Island are

spent relaxing, entertaining, and piloting their beloved

1958 Bunker and Ellis 26-foot open skiff, a necessity on an

island that is three miles at sea.

Opposite

The homeowners’ long-held desire for a blue and white

living room inspired this space’s crisp color palette. China

Seas’ Aqua IV covers the room’s walls, while a pair of

armchairs is upholstered in China Seas’ Nitik II.

Also in the mix are China Seas’ New Batik, which was used

for an Albert Hadley-designed armchair, and curtains made

of Quadrille’s Tashkent, which Knott said acts like a “big

punctuation for the room.”

No room is as quintessentially American as the red, white, and blue bedroom of Fondas, whose

fascination with George Washington began during his Bahamian childhood

John Fondas’s love of american history inspired not only his

bedroom’s red, white, and blue color palette, but also his use of

Quadrille’s Independence Engraving and Independence Toile on the

walls and roman shades, respectively. The windows’ panel curtains

are made of Lane Stripe by Quadrille.

1 A long sectional sofa looks dashing thanks to its Ikat II fabric by

China Seas. An Alan Campbell Zig Zag pillow adds a judicious splash

of coral to the predominately blue and white room.

2 Once a hotel frequented by rusticators, Fondas and Knott’s

house has been restored and renovated, yet it still maintains its

original shingle-style charm.

3 In an effort to give the house “a good, modern platform,”

some of the floors were painted in deck paint, which helps to make

colors and pattern, like Quadrille’s Vanderpoel Stripe wallpaper, seen

here, really “pop,” according to Knott.

Opposite

Once configured as two small bedrooms, a newly-enlarged dining room

is furnished in Home Couture’s Persepolis fabric curtains and

Taj wallpaper, which serves as a soothing backdrop for a

table that can, and often does, seat 18.

1 An antique French birdcage with palm-frond finial adds a note of

whimsy in one of the bedrooms, which is layered in snappy prints: the

wallpaper and the chair’s fabric are Balinese Batik by China Seas, while

the curtains were made from Home Couture’s Lorraine.

2 An antique Portuguese bed, deemed the “Princess Bed” because of

its petite size, gets the royal treatment thanks to the room’s splashy

Henriot Floral wallpaper by Quadrille.

3 Saya Gata wallpaper by Alan Campbell introduces subtle pattern to

an otherwise tranquil-looking bathroom.

Opposite

Against the Neoclassical room’s Melong Batik wallpaper by

China Seas, a trove of curated pieces reflect the homeowners’ love of

“quirky and old decorative objects.”

During his 16-year tenure at Parish-Hadley, David

Kleinberg adopted the mantra “beauty meets quality of

life,” which he continues to blend with his own guiding

rule – understatement. Pictured here is his classically

modern New York City living room with 13-foot ceilings

and floor-to-ceiling windows, reminiscent of his favorite

city, Paris.

For a pool house barn in rural Connecticut, Kleinberg

opted for a polished concrete floor and exposed, original

beams. “I know I’ve succeeded when I pass my own litmus

test – could I live happily in this one room alone?”

Adirondack twig work in Treehouse, one of ten freestanding cottages on

Twin Farms' 300 acre site

When you step onto the property of Twin Farms, Vermont’s only

luxury, five-star experience, you step back in time to 1795 when

the original farmhouse was built, with surrounding countryside

and mountains virtually unchanged. You are immediately

immersed in a singular experience that very few resorts in the

world can lay claim. Twin Farms delivers unparalleled seasonal

farm cuisine, a 20,000-bottle wine cellar with an impressive

reserve list, spa, and the great outdoors. Options are plentiful

– fly fishing, kayaking, hiking, skiing, biking, canoeing, sledding,

tennis, and golf to name a few.

Another aspect setting Twin Farms apart is its rich history enlisting

renowned architects, designers, and landscape architects to

fashion a wide range of places to enjoy. The property first opened

with 15 accommodations designed by the late JedJohnson. Later,

famed architect Peter Bohlin – who designed homes for Bill

Gates and SteveJobs – constructed Aviary and the Farmhouse

at Copper Hill (both pictured). Interior Designer Thad Hayes

continues to perfect more recent accommodations.

Private and common areas are enriched by works by celebrated

artists RoyLichtenstein,DavidHockney,FrankStella,JimDine,

Deborah Butterfield, Milton Avery, Jasper Johns, Ed Ruscha,

SeanScully,CyTwombly,NamJunePaik, and DonaldSultan, to

name a few.

The nearest airport is Burlington, VT, or it is a three-hour drive

from Boston. The all-inclusive resort is intended for adults, with

the exception of two weeks each year, the next being July 28 to

August 1, 2014. The resort is also available for weddings, retreats,

and special events. Contact (800) 894-6322 or info@twinfarms.

Dear Boston,

The accents, the crazy drivers, the politics, the world class universities and hospitals… that’s only the tip of the iceberg for what makes you such an incredible and inimitable city. From the salty streets of Southie to the Brahmin Back Bay, this city is filled with personality, history, style, and spirit. When I need to stretch my legs and clear my mind, there are runs along the fish piers, past the Boston Design Center, up to Castle Island, and back to the now bustling Fort Point. When a bit of beauty and peace are needed, I quietly disappear among the masterpieces at the MFA or the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. And although I think you are quite perfect, when an excursion is needed, how amazing that I can hop on a high speed ferry and go to Provincetown, hop on a train at South Station and head to NYC, or catch a plane at Logan and be in Europe in a mere six hours. While I love you unconditionally, a girl does have her favorites and for me, those include:

· Beers outside at the ICA with live music during the summer · Ice skating on the Rose Kennedy Greenway during the winter · Shopping on Charles Street – ER Butler for one of a kind home

goods and Savenor’s (Julia Child’s butcher of choice) for meat · Newbury Street; I can check out the latest Lanvin at Alan Bilzarian

and then work my way down to Trident Bookstore (my favorite in the city) and Johnston Paints for art supplies

· The SOWA market for antiques and even bar tools for Drink!You are the city I grew up in, the city I learned to cook in, and the city I love. You are Boston, you are home.

Conceptual artist Annie Evelyn and her

company New Colony Furniture turned heads

at the “Factory Floor Exhibition” at Industry City

in Brooklyn, NY. Annie is pictured here with her

“hard-upholstered” chairs. Translation: hard

materials like wooden sticks and inlaid crystals

function as suspension springs that squish

down when you sit on them.

Furniture design is an integral part of this Brown

and Rhode Island School of Design-educated

young artist’s pedigree. Her grandparents

founded Old Colony Furniture in Boston in the

1920s. She has drawn inspiration from their

work but forged her own path, turning tradition

upside down with designs that revel in the

unexpected. Annie’s intended outcome is to

leave you smiling and happy from the hidden

element of surprise.

This fall marks another crowning achievement.

Annie is one of a handful of artists invited to

join the esteemed Penland School of Crafts

artist residency.
