AT THE NEWLY launched The Wing in Manhattan, the walls are covered in a custom toile wallpaper that’s a collaboration between illustrator Joana Avillez and Payton Turner of Flat Vernacular. Vignettes show women going about their day in the city—hailing cabs, taking kids to school, doing yoga, typing emails, and cooking dinner. These ladies juggle so much that they seem to have superpowers. Yet The Wing’s mission is pretty simple. Established by Audrey Gelman and Lauren Kassan—and an impressive roster of founding members and partners—the modern ladies’ club provides a friendly space where women can feel supported and inspired. We feature them on our cover for this reason. The pages of this issue—and every domino—are an escape, but also a view into the way we live now: as individuals and…

STEPPING INSIDE AMSTERDAM’S Bar Botanique and the adjoining Café Tropique is like entering a lush landscape of palms, philodendrons, ferns, and monsteras. The airy space, a former gymnasium, fills with sunlight streaming in from tall windows. A bright yellow espresso machine that greets visitors from the bar alongside a stack of bubblegum pink coffee cups serves as an instant pick-me-up. Dutch firm Studio Modijefsky designed the complete look, from the velvet booths to the custom font on the menus. “We wanted a sense of playfulness,” says founder and designer Esther Stam. For the palette, she paired a spectrum of greens in emerald and citrine with pops of navy blue, pink, and apricot that feels retro-chic yet timeless. “There are no rules for working with color,” Stam explains. “It’s a matter…

“WE WANTED TO CREATE a private space that feels like a home,” says jewelry designer Madina Visconti di Modrone of the atelier and showroom she shares with her mother, furniture designer Osanna Visconti di Modrone. Hidden from street view down a cobblestone alley, the Milan studio is a refuge of patinaed bronze, velvet, and polished wood that feels grand and lustrous yet intimate and welcoming. BALANCING THE RICH EARTH TONES and sleek accents are Madina’s organic, whimsical designs—snake rings, rose branch bangles, feather cuffs, and climbing ivy bracelets—much of which she makes using flowers and leaves foraged at her childhood summer home. Her latest collection, a series of delicate enamel butterfly earrings in vivid jewel tones, also adds a new pop of color. Like her mother, Madina uses the ancient…

1 SIDE TABLE Pick a metallic for a cool, uexpected take on the nightstand. Bonus points: You can artfully store extra books and objects underneath.  2 PLANTER Skip the heavy ceramic pot and go with a lighter foundation for your lush greenery. (Just add a catchall underneath when watering your plants.)  3 LAMP SHADE We love the graphic lines of the basket, especially when it’s flipped and used as a pendant light. The electrical wire and bulb in matching pink complete the look.…

 Scandi Go minimal in white and wood.  Monochrome Pare down the palette.  Postmodern Playful pieces make a statement.  Industrial Utilitarian-chic puts the focus on function.  Metallic High shine meets modern design.  Technicolor Bold hues brighten your closet. Tips From the Home Edit WITH EXPERT ORGANIZERS JOANNA TEPLIN & CLEA SHEARER homeedit.com 1 Get the basics. Our go-tos are The Container Store for shoe boxes and jewelry storage and Target for decorative bins and dividers. 2 Create a clean display. A neutral background complements your clothing, like racks and containers in bright whites, high-gloss lacquer, and clear acrylic. 3 Match your hangers. Uniform hangers are the most important upgrade you can make. We prefer slim velvet hangers, but all wood or metal also works. 4 Show off standout pieces. Choose shapes and textures that make…

PREP AHEAD “Make a pre-batch of Manhattans or Negronis and store in a pretty glass bottle. When guests arrive, set out the cocktail mix next to some drinking glasses, ice, and garnishes (blood orange wheels or even marigold flowers add a nice touch) for easy assembly. Because there’s no citrus blended in, the batch will last forever—just keep the leftovers in your fridge.” —Helen Johannesen / partner at Helen’s Wines and beverage director at Animal and Son of a Gun, among others FIND YOUR HERO INGREDIENT “Pair cocktails with sweet and spicy bacon—it hits all the flavors. I make a large batch on a sheet tray in the oven (preheated to 425 degrees Fahrenheit). Flip the bacon when it begins to brown, and brush with honey once it’s cooked. Then…

PAUL DENOLY AND NICK BLAINE HAVE MASTERED THE ART OF COMPROMISE. Their home-goods store, Hawkins New York, is known for its unique balance of modernity and warmth— a marriage of the couple’s styles. “Everything in our store has been thought and fought through,” Denoly jokes of their process. “Before we lived together, my apartment looked like a Design Within Reach catalog, and Paul’s place looked like a very cool grandma lived there,” says Blaine. Buying an upstate New York farmhouse in 2011 gave them the opportunity to truly combine and refine their aesthetic. Built in the 1750s by Dutch settlers and rumored to have been a stop on the Underground Railroad, the centuries-old property was crumbling. Denoly and Blaine worked with local craftspeople, including Claverack Builders and mason Mike Budai,…

PLAYING WITH SHAPES Furniture designer Taylor Forrest grew up horseback riding and cleaning the tack. “I was up close and personal with the saddles and their craftsmanship,” she explains. She harnessed that passion, plus experience designing furniture at Ralph Lauren, to start her eponymous collection of hand-stitched leather sling chairs—crafted from the same vegetable-tanned hides used to make saddles. Next, Forrest is expanding into lighting fixtures with leather shades. “We’re playing around with shapes you assume would be rigid,” she says, “but covered with leather, they’re soft and pliable.” taylorforrest.com THE PERFECT HUE OAD handbag designer Sydney Suh-Lee doubles up on her favorite material by lining her minimal but very functional bags (extra pockets, no bulk) with suede. “It gives the texture and structure I want,” she says. For winter,…

PARTY-READY PANTRY DESIGN Group like items together, organizing vases and servingware by height and color so you can easily find them. Divide silverware drawers with velvet-lined trays to prevent scratches. For paper supplies and table textiles, acrylic dividers will do. Add a work surface, allowing your closet to triple as a mini station for entertaining essentials and craft projects. WHEN DOMINO ’S STAFF MOVED OFFICES, style editor Elaina Sullivan finally got to build the prop closet of her dreams—a storage nook for the many decor objects she uses on photo shoots. Enter the The Container Store. After meeting with Sullivan, senior merchandising manager Erin Hogue measured the space and designed a closet using TCS—a customizable system that’s a step up from standard. “We picked a pure white finish, smooth drawer…

Minimalist Display A mantel, side table, or low bench becomes the perfect display surface for tulip, amaryllis, and ranunculus bulbs planted in pickle jars, a sculptural tumbleweed, and other foraged pieces. Add lattice to the back wall to loosely frame your still life. Textured Garland Foraged birch branches, wispy grasses, and wheat bring movement, while Port Orford cedar and Carolina cedar create different textures and colors when combined. You can also add fragrant juniper for a fresh woodsy scent. The garland won’t shed and can stay up well into spring. Deconstructed Centerpiece Fresh greenery like bay laurel, switchgrass, and Spanish lavender will dry where you place it, so you can make an architectural arrangement that keeps through the winter. Scatter loose bulbs around a rustic wood bowl and layer on…

IN THE HISTORIC Mount Washington neighborhood of Los Angeles, designer Liza Reyes recently transformed an abandoned cabin into a thoughtfully spare family home. The considered approach she honed while working at Commune—a group of designers, builders, and makers that celebrates modern California craftsmanship—can be felt throughout the space. With the help of her husband, artist and woodworker Philip Soderlind, Reyes built utilitarian pieces, like a sofa with a storage-friendly frame. “I like things at home to be clean and sparse so my eye can rest,” says Reyes, who shares some more of her favorite lessons on design here. LESSON 1 Go free-form with textiles. Drape an unhemmed linen drop cloth over a desk or tack a hand-printed sheer fabric over a window to screen the light, which adds character…

IN A CITY that’s equal parts Southern charm, French finesse, and scrappy eccentric, Seaworthy is a welcome newcomer. The cozy oyster bar, housed in an old town house that’s part of the new Ace Hotel New Orleans a few doors down, feels like a sea captain might return home at any moment. The mantel in the upstairs dining room is artfully covered with candle wax and leafy greenery, while the navy leather booths and emerald-hued marble café tables in the downstairs bar add a modern touch to the sailor’s clubhouse vibe. The founding crew behind the space are worth their salt when it comes to entertaining. Brothers Alex and Miles Pincus grew up in New Orleans and learned to sail on Lake Pontchartrain as kids before moving to New York.…

At Pamela Bell’s town house in Manhattan’s East Village, the salon-style walls are adorned with enough original artwork to fill a few galleries at the Museum of Modern Art—alongside Bell’s own works in progress, casually pinned up in the living room. “Art is a big part of my life,” says Bell. One of the four founding partners of the Kate Spade brand, Bell’s résumé includes stints as a production manager, merchandiser, product developer, and volunteer for a long list of causes. In 2013, she founded Prinkshop, an experiment in graphic design and social activism, using T-shirts and tote bags as her canvas. It started, among other things, after Bell bought a set of posters at a fundraiser at her daughter’s school. The artwork was from Paris and dated May 1968,…
