RANGE ROVERS Blush

(above) is the featured hue

on our Focus pages (p. 26).

In Showroom Style (p. 34),

Christopher Coleman plays

with lacquered brights.

W H AT ’ S B E T T E R T H A N M AY ? W H E N I T A R R I V E S ,

we know that June, and thus the onset of summer,

shimmers tantalizingly just over the horizon. More

to the point, there are tints galore to liven up the

basic black that is New York’s favorite hue. Finally!

That’s why I always look forward to our May-June

issue, when we trumpet color confi dence with glee.

I believe color is one of design’s most mystifyingly wonderful elements.

It cycles from season to season. It changes with the light. Our perceptions of

what’s hot, palette-wise, do, too. Just look at our Focus on Blush, this year’s

coyest, prettiest pink. And don’t miss our Showroom Style feature on Chris-

topher Coleman’s hue-happy new design boutique in Hudson.

The core of this issue covers the spectrum, from Roy to Biv. There are

the right-on-point tones and pattern language that Elias Asso-

ciates infuses into a classic apartment in The Apthorp. Our

Color Sense pages show off the family aspect of color—that

it’s emotional and full of personality, that there are comple-

mentary hues and contrasting ones, too. Take a glance, and

then another. And enjoy!

the new look decorating has always had its coterie

of grand dames—tastemakers and resources, both.

Brunschwig & fils has long been a queen bee among the

latter, with its d & d flagship showroom the tastiest of

hives for designers of all stripes. even good design needs

periodic refreshing, though. hence the showroom’s very

swell facelift by Brunschwig’s own stephen elrod and

doug garfinkle, much-decorated interior designer Mi-

chael s. smith, and Montreal-based design firm

atelier de l’opera. With its combination of french airs

GOING GLOBAL From May 17th–May 20th, the 26th

annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF)

sweeps a fl ood tide of the world’s up-to-the-nanosecond

designs into the Javits Center. A mecca for the profes-

sionals, the curious, the trendsetters, the ICFF this year

promises to surpass its promise as our country’s plat-

form for contemporary design worldwide. With its lineup

of exhibitors, special features, and educational options,

it most certainly is the place that maps the latest frontier

of what’s new and what’s next in function, form, and

fabulousness. Public day is Tuesday, May 20th. icff.com

ART FORUM With its juicy spring/summer lineup of exhibits,

The Parrish Art Museum looks the place to be for anyone in

the vicinity of Water Mill in the coming months. Two shows

promise to be particularly eye fi lling. Leading off is Jennifer

Bartlett: History of the Universe—Works 1970–2011, the fi rst

major museum survey of this groundbreaking American art-

ist’s output, on view through July 13th. Next up is the long

overdue and also comprehensive William Glackens, an of-late

undersung but infl uential American painter—he was chair-

man of the American selection committee for the epochal 1913

Armory show—whose ouevre hasn’t been seen en masse in a

half century, from July 20th–October 13th. parrishart.org

CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN To

inaugurate the renovated Costume

Institute, The Metropolitan Museum

of Art hosts Charles James: Beyond

Fashion. Up from May 8th–August

10th, it charts the career of couturier

Charles James (1906–1978), whose

experiments in construction, fit,

and cloth gave us the stuff of fashion

legend—ultra-glamorous, archi-

technically extraordinary garments.

James’s process is covered in depth,

from his fascination with and use of

sculptural, scientifi c, and mathemati-

cal approaches to construct the revo-

lutionary ball gowns for which he is

so well remembered to innovative

tailoring that continues to infl uence

designers today. metmuseum.org

interior designer celebrated for his exuberant color

sense, never intended to step up to the storefront

life. Ever. Yet this past December 15th, he leapt into

it—fabulously—in Hudson, New York. He calls his

Christopher Coleman Collection, an 1,800-square-

foot boutique on the main drag of Upstate’s hip-

happening design destination, a “mid-life crisis.” It

seems anything but.

Housed in a former liquor store that Coleman

has converted to a bright white gallery, the shop, a

design lab of sorts, contains his

precisely curated, seasonally themed mix. The for-

mula? The unique, the eye-catching, and the afford-

able—furnishings, objects, and art, some new, some

vintage, and some repurposed.

Coleman has laser-like attention to detail, one

quality that successful designers and merchants

share. Not only does he put together an intriguing

array of wares, but he makes sure that each has a

carefully descriptive label—in the tradition of Moss—

in beautifully designed, easy-to-read type.

Coleman has defined the shop’s sweet spot

as the weekend gift-giving set looking for anything

from a hostess thank you to a cool enticement for a

20 year old to a toy for a grandchild. “It’s so hard to

find accessories that are interesting and affordable,”

he says, not to mention art and furnishings.

This never-say-never designer plans to switch

out his tonally coordinated displays twice a sea-

son. He went red in February. For the garden-ready,

he shaded April green with woven baskets, boxes,

and large green planters. May promises an ever-

hotter palette, with aquas, oranges, and primaries.

And for the hipster urbanites flocking to the area in

ever-greater numbers, he makes sure there’s always

plenty of black and white. see resources �

h i Sto rY h aS w i t n e S S e d h u n d r e d S o f b e au t i f u l ,

architecturally significant buildings fall victim to the

wrecking ball. The Apthorp, the c. 1908 Clinton & Rus-

sell-designed Italian Renaissance Revival building in the

heart of the Upper West Side, owes its existence in part to

this hindsight. The block-long structure, originally built

for William Waldorf Astor, received landmark status in

1968—a mere three years after the creation of the Land-

marks Preservation Committee.

When longtime clients approached Edda Elias, of Elias

Associates, to do a stem-to-stern renovation of their newly

purchased, 3,700-square-foot hideaway at The Apthorp,

she turned out to be the perfect choice. The layout of the

three-bedroom residence was already ideal, with public

rooms up front and private rooms in the rear. Further, the

surviving interior craftsmanship, north- and south-facing

exposures, and 10.8-foot-high ceilings were hard to rival.

Given all that, Elias decided to retain the original floor

plan and surviving neoclassical backgrounds and inject a

more modern feel with carefully selected furnishings and

artwork. “You don’t gain appreciation by repeating your

period or playing it safe. The best jolt and impact comes

from creating a bit of chaos—by mixing architectural ele-

ments and furnishings from different periods and styles,”

says the designer.


“The amazing plasterwork would be difficult to rework

today,” Elias adds. So would the original mosaic flooring and

neoclassical moldings that distinguish the apartment’s ex-

pansive 29-foot-long entry gallery. She left those intact as

well, but formed a perfect foil with a mixture of contempo-

rary furniture and art, including a beautifully scaled, Bruno

Houssin KAO suspension lighting fixture.

The living and dining rooms, which flank a central hallway,

exhibit the same multi-era design language. Bright accent

colors outline the prevalent gray-and-white color scheme

and inject a bit of liveliness. Comfortable yet striking designs

and hardwood floors stained a warm shade of espresso sing

against the backdrop of intricate plasterwork.

"Because the guest bedrooms were meant to be used

less, we went a bit off the design field there," says Elias of the

more colorful, youthful palettes. The master bedroom, on the

other hand, exhibits a dreamlike luxury with neutral tones, a

deep plush carpet, and soft, tactile details galore.

Completely gutted and revamped, the kitchen keeps

to the flow with recycled glass mosaics in a custom gray

and white geometric pattern that complements the white

acrylic lacquer cabinets.

"Juxtaposing periods and styles creates a lot of thought

and interest and makes a space enjoyable for years to

come," says Elias. We just so happen to wholeheartedly

agree. see ResouRces �

graY Scale This page: After com-

pletely gutting the kitchen, Elias lined

the walls with white lacquer counters

and cabinets to create as much functional

space as possible. Glass mosaics in a

custom gray and white geometric pattern

on the walls and light charcoal porcelain

floors add layers of sophistication.

cozY Who ever perpetuated the idea

that a library should be buttoned-

up? In this semi-private room right

off the entry, Elias created a relaxed

ambience by pairing Room & Board's

high-backed Boden chair with a

lively zebra rug from ABC Carpet &

Home. Fornasetti pillow from Barneys.

This page, clockwise from left: In the

master bath, a counter of beautifully

striated Siberian marble provides a

Elias opted for a more laidback feel

and bolder color schemes. Hermes, a

colorful linear painting, forms an

unexpected partnership with a sleek

white desk from Blu Dot and a con-

trasting rug from Madeline Weinrib.

Opposite page: In the master bed-

room, Elias compensated for a more

muted palette by creating interest

the shimmering area rug, a faux fur

throw from Nobilis, and a headboard

bone-like chandelier from Arteriors

Home adds the finishing touch.

“people are afraid of having one color

thread through both private and public spac-

es,” says designer Vicente Wolf. “But you can

do that because those tonalities read totally

differently from room to room depending on

the particular shade or on the light.”

To wit: this traditional center-hall colo-

nial in Scarsdale. The homeowners, fortysome-

thing modernist aficionados with two pre-

teens, were adding a game room to a residence

built in the 1930s. S. Edward Parker III, part-

ner at Alisberg Parker Architects

challenge the idea that no one

of Greenwich, had spearheaded a major

interior-exterior renovation in 2007. He re-

turned, collaborating with Wolf on the new

glass-walled annex. Wolf then set about de-

signing comfortably contemporary spaces

throughout that were “gathering friendly.”

(The family loves to entertain.)

Wolf’s first step? Minimizing formal

architectural details simply by “not playing

them up.” Using a fundamentally gray pal-

ette also redirected the focus from these in-

terior flourishes toward a sense of continu-

ous space unbroken by ornamentation. And

by varying gray shades room to room, Wolf

delineated each, yet also achieved a sense of

movement from one to the next. “They are

all tones—there’s not a true brown or true

gray. It’s a very mercurial palette, bluer in

some places, taupier in others.”

The large scale of public rooms ran the

risk of reading as cavernous. Wolf divided

the living room into two more intimate areas

and varied forms in each. Bertoia Diamond

chairs appear in both, but in one they’re

upholstered in a KnollTextiles wool and

set against a low-backed sofa swathed in

Cowtan & Tout velvet, while at


the fireplace end they’re bare and face shel-

ter sofas in identical velvet.

In the dining room, “Sixteen of the

same chairs would have been monotonous,”

Wolf explains. Instead, open forms of Knoll

Brno chairs on one side of the table progress

to more solid upholstered pieces (custom

tub chairs, then double banquettes).

Of course, Wolf’s signature global

touches appear throughout. However, “They

refer to the past but read modern,” he says,

either because of their clean forms (the liv-

ing room’s simple Chinese coffee table) or

materials (the master’s Chinese country

chair reimagined in steel).

The gray palette even continues out-

side to seat cushions of Dedon-furnished

lounging and dining areas. “It gives a

sense of serenity and continuity as well as

rhythm,” says Wolf, and you believe him.

SO MANY FACETS This page:

Color is virtually endless in its

variety and tonal quality. Some-

times pairing the opaque tone with

its transparent twin can bring a

soft-contrast palette to life through

light, as designer Jan Ctvrtnik's

hand-cut, hand-blown glass vase

from Moser does here. Opposite:

IN DESIGN AND DECORATION, HUE AND VALUE ARE

THE SOURCES OF EMOTION AND PERSONALITY

NOTHING IS MORE PERSONAL OR MYSTERIOUS THAN COLOR. SURE, WE KNOW THERE’S THE SCIENCE OF

the spectrum and the color wheel. Yet each of us sees and responds to a given formulation in our own

way. The watery sea-glass tones that delight the eye of one may well bore another to distraction without

some acid-y contrast. The scarlets, fuschias and oranges that send one person into ecstasy may be the

visual equivalent of nails on blackboard for someone else. Blue and white are like the Fred and Ginger

of décor, always dancing cheek to cheek. Our point is this: color is a world unto itself. Mix it.

Match it. Balance it. Harmonize with it. Play with it. And enjoy. SEE RESOURCES

SPICE GIRLS We’re having a

heat wave, a subtropical heat

wave. In a smoldering setting,

sometimes the more saturated

and incendiary option is the

coolest solution of all. As hot

tamales go, Marjorie Skouras’s

the intensity of all these

EMPIRE OF THE SUN Without

the swaths of scarlet and hot

pink, and with the addition of

white, saturated sun tones

welcome a broader cross section

of the spectrum. Delicate

patterns in contrasting tones of

green and blue, plus comple-

mentary shades of purple, pro-

vide just the right top notes,

as DeVine Corporation’s Alberto

Pinto Chargers make vivid.


PLAYING THE BLUES Blues and

whites are partners made in

decorator heaven. Just think

how the dynamic duo animates

the history of the decorative

arts. So forget that old chestnut

of a song: bluer than blue isn’t

sadder than sad, especially

when turquoise and a dash of

It ’S probablY Safe to SaY that 41-Year-old

Corvin Matei is one of the few architects and

designers to present hand-drawn sketches to cli-

ents. “As they say, the pencil is the extension of the

mind,” says Matei.

In 2011, under Matei’s guidance, a 70-some-

thing philanthropist from the Midwest bought a

three-bedroom apartment in a 1917 J. E. R. Carpen-

ter building on Park Avenue and 62nd Street. “Giv-

en the time-saving qualities of hand drawings, we

came up with the plans very quickly, before my cli-

ent even closed on the property,” says Matei, whose

Studio for Architecture and Design opened in 2000.

Hand drawings were also appropriate given

that the client has an enviable collection of photog-

raphy, sculpture, and paintings, most from mid-to-

late 20th century, and a profound appreciation of

architecture and art. “Discussing the hand draw-

ings with my client was like talking art with her. It

was a conversation about pure unadulterated ideas

and less about the glossiness of the drawing.”

The plan: unclutter the existing spaces and

update the 3,500-square-foot apartment to the

needs of today’s living while being respectful of

the singular design and character of the building.

(They studied old Carpenter drawings in search

of the original details.) Step one: the architecture.

Matei eliminated the congested maid quarters,

reconfigured the kitchen into a large, open flex-

space, and created passageways in walls to bring

natural light deep into the apartment’s heart. “In

all, we created more open spaces and

organized them around natural light and views to the

city,” says Matei. “The new layout is more lofty yet

works with the original spirit of the building."

Step two: the design. “It was important that

there would be no distinction between the architec-

ture and interior design, and that the spaces read as

one coherent and seamless construct,” says Matei.

What that did not mean was filling the apartment

with neoclassical elements. Rather, Matei and his cli-

ent carefully curated a montage of styles and periods

to suit each space. In the living room, for example,

a curved couch and glass coffee table by Vladimir

Kagan, two Finn Juhl 45 chairs, and a walnut bench by

George Nakashima complement contemporary art by

Beth Lipman, Joel Shapiro, and Ben Zadok.

The finished apartment is a testament to not

only the benefit of hand sketches but also the time-

lessness of understated chic: elegantly designed piec-

es from every period harmonize—both with each oth-

er and with the elegant architecture. As Matei puts it,

“The place feels humble yet sophisticated at the same

time.” see resources �

Oyster Bay design firm Langsam Rubin Interiors, tells it, her clients, a Millbrook-based family of five, decided to build a vacation house a convenient

bit further out on Long Island: “With three children all deeply involved in local activities, they wanted a place to escape from the hubbub. And they

love the ocean.” Rubin entered the process early on, so in addition to creating interiors and the outdoor rooms, she consulted on, among

other aspects, the colors that wash the exterior of the five-

Open and airy, the three-level structure houses a sweeping, cen-

tral circular stair. Pushed to the maximum footprint, it also makes

the most of the water views with great expanses of windows and

sliding glass doors that ease the family and their friends into exte-

look? On the other hand, the story of the palette—or rather the

backstory—isn’t quite so straightforward. “She loves the color

purple,” says Rubin of the clients whose primary residence she

swathed in those royal tones. The designer continues, “her hus-

band asked that they not make this house in the same shades,

as he was more into water-color hues.” Rubin complied with

his preferred palette in the bedrooms, baths, and public rooms,

where lots of whites accented by aquatic blues and grays mimic

the Atlantic just a catwalk away.

The family room below deck tells the story of another spectrum,

so to speak. Here Rubin went for the gusto that the wife favors at heart.

Her beloved bold brights—plus strong dashes of purple—make their

reappearance in the brilliantly patterned, assertively colored Missoni

fabric covering the Ligne Roset sectional made for sprawling, barstools

from Elite Modern, and game table chairs from Phillips Collection.

As design goes, Rubin’s passes with flying colors. see resources �

quiet timeS Clockwise, from top: The serene

master bedroom suite opens to a private terrace

just for two. In a child’s bath, Rubin clad the walls

in glass tiles and the floor in stainless steel.

This child’s bedroom can sleep four, with a double

bed on the lower level, a twin on top, and a trundle

that pulls out when the nightstand rolls away.

o n t h e e a S t b a n k o f t h e h u d S o n r i v e r a S i t

winds through Columbia County lies a gem of a city that

dates to pre-Revolutionary War days. Just a few decades

back, Hudson, NY, was home to neglected storefronts in

various stages of disrepair, sketchy alleyways, and a few

brave antiques shops. In recent years, though, a burgeon-

ing group of artists, designers, and design enthusiasts

have picked up and moved to the waterside city to open up

home design stores, antiques shops, galleries, and restau-

rants—turning it into the hip getaway it is now.

Despite a somewhat sleepy-town-feel mid-week, Hud-

son comes alive each weekend with excur-

sionists intent on antiquing and design

hunting amid the beauty of the Hudson

River Valley. Culinary bon vivants in search

of the best farm-to-table restaurants, such

as Swoon Kitchenbar and relative new-

comer Fish & Game, are also aplenty. The

fortuitous migration of design-savvy urban

dwellers to this rural haven has also yielded

a huge upside—the restoration of many his-

toric buildings and houses to their former

(and various) architectural glories. GeTTING

roomS of her own Ex-pat Andrea

Brooke, who recently opened Grace &

Favor, a chic, unique, Britain-meets-

Brooklyn design emporium, knows

the joy that comes from having your

own place. After all, the Cotswold

native has gestated the idea for 20

years. In that time, she’s gathered a

wealth of experience in design and

decoration, all of which she brings to

bear in her charming, UK-centric shop

in Williamsburg. Like British design

itself, Brooke’s retail home base is an

idiosyncratic mishmash—everything

from the Andrew Martin Collection to

vintage commemorative plates to

Zoffany and William Morris wallpapers

to a line of candles called True Grace,

“with the scents of home—wood

paneling, parlor leather, and manor

place fires.” Why? “I love the idea that

people can discover anything here

from an important chair, a fun gift, to

a great chandelier.” see ResouRces
