Innholdsfortegnelse for Spring 2019 i domino

Each spring, I get the itch to push outside the boundaries of my color comfort zone. I’m always game to try a shoe in a new hue (I’m obsessing over lavender and icy blue right now) or swap out my bedding for a palette that feels more on point with my current mood. Just like having more daylight can boost your mood—hello, sunshine!—your well-being is closely connected to the colors around you. How you decorate your space reflects what makes you happy. With that in mind, this year’s Color Issue covers the full spectrum and is all about powerful color combos: Cover star Garance Doré’s new home in L.A. is all calming neutrals with pops of cobalt (page 156); bold primaries meet cool graphic details at the Long Island cottage…

STAY HAYMARKET BY SCANDIC Hötorget 13-15, scandichotels.com Wes Anderson fans will appreciate this cinematic, color-filled hotel in Hotörget Square. Start your day with breakfast at Gretas, Haymarket’s pastel, plant-filled café, and end with a nightcap at Americain, its opulent jade-accented bar. BANK HOTEL Arsenalsgatan 6, bankhotel.se Bank, a newcomer on the hospitality scene, emerged as a hub for the sartorially savvy during Stockholm Fashion Week. Though once a historic bank, there’s nothing stuffy about this Great Gatsby–esque hotel. NOBIS Norrmalmstorg 2-3, nobishotel.se Rooms are bright and airy, with plenty of mid-century modern touches. Even if you’re not staying here, it’s worth checking out the colorful, pixelated ceiling in the lobby-lounge, which looks like a futuristic treetop canopy. ETT HEM Sköldungagatan 2, etthem.se Housed in a former private residence, this intimate…

LA GUARIDA Hike the steep marble staircase and head to the balcony for unmatched views of the city before taking your seat in the dining room of this Old Havana mainstay. You’re here as much for the food—elevated traditional Cuban cuisine (this will be your most expensive meal)—as the lively, bohemian vibe. EL DEL FRENTE We’d hang out here every weekend if we lived in Havana—there’s a rooftop patio with a statement neon sign that reads “People Like You Need to Eat With People Like Us,” delicious food, and plenty of good vibes. AT YOUR AIRBNB The meals prepared by our hosts were some of our favorites, including one sunset dinner starring the best ropa vieja (Cuba’s national dish of shredded beef and stewed vegetables) we had on our entire…

Ariel Kaye has learned to thrive without a rule book. By age 29, the Southern California native had already checked “disrupt the bedding industry” off her to-do list. Now the CEO and founder of Parachute, the affordable startup-turned-successful home brand, faces a new breed of busyness: becoming a first-time mom in January to daughter Lou. Luckily, nesting came easy for Kaye and her husband, Trevor Walsh, who had previously only ever shared their two-bedroom bungalow in L.A.’s Venice Beach with their dog, Lox. Kaye leaned on her established set of staples to create a coastal-cool nursery for her new addition. “Knowing that I was going to be spending a lot more time at home, it was really important that the space represented who I am,” says Kaye. The wave print…

Perched at the crossroads between Brooklyn’s creative scene and the local makers and farmers of the Hudson Valley, Ravenwood was originally a weekend escape from city living for chef and food stylist Chris Lanier and visual artist and designer Dana McClure. The couple has since made the bucolic four acres home—peppered with majestic oak and maple trees—and transformed it into a meeting place for cultivating meaningful gatherings. At the heart of the property sits a recently restored 19th-century barn, which serves as a backdrop for communal meals and various pop-up–style events held throughout the year. So when author and chef Sarah Copeland of Edible Living sought a venue to host a benefit dinner for the FEED Foundation—a nonprofit organization aimed at fighting hunger—Ravenwood was a natural choice. Copeland and Lanier,…

“Predictability is achingly boring,” says Kimberly Von Koontz. “If something is left undone or lying against the wall, it gives the room a sense of impending evolution.” The California-raised landscape designer, who helped create the rooftop garden at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, abides by her word. Nothing in her spacious two-bedroom apartment—which she shares with her 2-year-old son, Romeo—is what you’d expect to find in the heart of Manhattan’s Financial District. With her wavy butter-blonde hair and streamlined personal style, Von Koontz looks every bit the successful New York designer. But as with much of her life, the path was hardly predictable. As a junior studying architecture at the University of Colorado and visiting Florence, Italy, on a study-abroad program, she became so entranced with the culture she decided to…

ANYONE FAMILIAR WITH the musings of Garance Doré, the French photographer, writer, style icon, O.G. influencer, and creative force behind Atelier Doré, knows that she doesn’t make rash decisions. Candid essays filled with introspection about her life are as much a part of her brand as her chic and easy approach to style. When the native Corsican and onetime New Yorker decided to buy a large, modern house in Mar Vista and put down more permanent roots in California, the commitment came with some surprises and serious soul-searching. “I felt like L.A., as a city, was a woman, and she was holding me in her arms, like that Red Hot Chili Peppers song,” says Doré over a cup of tea and a plate of roasted vegetables at the Superba café,…

ROSY FRIDMAN Interior Stylist COLOR CRUSH I love naturally tanned leather in subtle tones. DESIGN INSPIRATION Puglia, Italy, for its simple yet stunning architecture. The enormous vaulted ceilings typical of the region, called volta a stella, remind me of how important negative space really is. CULTURE FIX I’m currently watching French classic comedies again. Keeps my French alive. UPCOMING PROJECT Our home, a Queen Anne Victorian, has been a constant project since we moved to San Francisco. This month we’re adding a beautiful antique marble fireplace that we found in New York. REBECCA MISNER Writer DESIGN INSPIRATION The 1970s-era experimental town of Arcosanti in remote central Arizona. CULTURE FIX I’m a true-crime and investigative podcast nerd: Uncover, Someone Knows Something, and Up and Vanished are all fantastic. RECENT ADVENTURE I…

you’ve seen them while tapping through your feed—those clay-dappled artisans hard at work at the wheel—or maybe you’ve clocked that your friends are suddenly into ceramics, posting hero shots of new mugs and commenting on glazes. Indeed, Instagram has become a major calling card for emerging ceramists, renewing an interest in an art form that practically predates civilization. From BZippy & Co.’s monochromatic Brutalism to Mari Masot’s vibrant geometric vessels, indie brands are presenting their unique creations in a format that makes art more accessible and acquirable. Those oddly satisfying molding videos and finely crafted finished products seem to be jumpstarting a hands-on movement, too. “In the two years since I founded my ceramics business, I can’t count the number of people who have told me they couldn’t wait to…

THE ARCHIVIST JOHN DERIAN ANTIQUE PRINTS MADE NEW AGAIN No designer has done more to unearth the strange beauty of 18th- and 19th-century ephemera than John Derian. In recent wallpaper collections for companies such as Designers Guild and Studio Printworks, the decoupage artist exhumed illustrations of sea plants, cabbage roses, and delicate spiderwebs. Within his archive of roughly 20,000 images exists a painted Chinese panel, discovered 20 years ago at an antiques shop. Working with Pierre Frey, Derian digitally restored and translated the pattern into Le Paravent Chinois, an exquisite repeat of climbing vines and flowers. “You feel something when you’re surrounded by natural beauty,” he says. 01 JARDIN GRI S by Nathalie Lété greenergrassdesign.com 02 CHIMNEY SWALLOWS by John Derian designersguild.com 03 MEZIERES N°44 antoinettepoisson.com 04 EGGS by John…

VIÑALES “If you don’t go, you’re making a big mistake” is all we heard about the farming region located on the western side of the island. Book a one-day tour that includes transportation to and from the capital, cigar rolling, horseback riding, and—important—epic views of the valleys. SANTA MARÍA DEL MAR Enjoy an easy 30-minute ride to this locals-only beach and be back to town in time for sunset. Sip a cocktail out of a coconut, go for a swim, or just sit back and relax in the sunshine. Pro tip: This is the drive to splurge on chartering a vintage convertible. VARADERO It’s a solid two-hour drive to this pristine beach. We did it in a day, which was ambitious, but the route is gorgeous and the car ride…

Our new fabric collaboration with Robert Allen—a collection of 14 prints and more than eight colorways—is a celebration of creativity. Each design draws inspiration from the works of iconic artists across eras and mediums—the exuberant geometries of Sol LeWitt, the sculptural weavings of Sheila Hicks, the lush landscapes of Paul Gauguin, and the tropical dream world of Frida Kahlo. Covering a lively spectrum of styles, the line is made to mix and match. Try a bold abstract with a fluid brushstroke, or a crisp stripe with a punchy floral. For direction, here are four foolproof tricks to embrace a pattern-forward refresh of your own. 1 MADE IN THE SHADE Begin with an all-white or neutral base and infuse it with a few standout hues—like raspberry and cobalt. The colors don’t…

The realization that my meals start coming together before I’ve even set foot in my kitchen was the inspiration behind Where Cooking Begins. Some of my favorite recipes coincide with farmers’ market day in my Brooklyn neighborhood—I wake up without a plan for what I’m going to cook, but know that whatever it is, it all starts with that outing. I buy whatever looks good, whatever makes me hungry—sugar snap peas, fragrant berries, the frilliest lettuces. But woman cannot live on local seasonal gems alone. There’s an equally important, rational flip side to my unstructured market outings, and it’s called the Internet. I use online ordering regularly and strategically to keep my kitchen stocked with basics so I can come home and put together a meal. The market has the…

RADIANT Bright pickled fennel in turmeric balances the density and smoothness of kabocha squash—with a satisfying crunch in the form of carrots and puffed kasha. Bonus points go to the collagen-boosting, free radical–packed properties of orange vegetables, to make you glow from the inside out. EARTHY Raw root vegetables, bitter lettuces, and tart barberries create straight-from-the-soil flavors that are as complex as their deep crimson pigment. Throw anti-inflammatory and blood-cleansing powers into the mix and this salad is nature’s showstopper. CLEAN White might be the color of potatoes, plain pasta, and other nutritiously void foods, but think of this combo as a palate refresher. The subtle, simple flavors of Asian pear, poached chicken, and plain yogurt—no hard spices or herbs needed—enhance the muted tone overall for a quiet dish that…

THROUGH THE KALEIDOSCOPE Who’s Afraid of Pink, Orange & Green? Not Irene Schampaert or Iris De Feijter, the Belgian authors of a new interior design book that—as the playful title implies—aims to get people over their chromophobia. The tome, which spotlights 21 spectacularly pigmented homes around the globe, is aspirational—eye candy to the nth degree, for sure—but, moreover, it’s actionable, a manual that shares surprising ideas for where and how to introduce color (like a cherry red ceiling in an all-white kitchen) and suggests combinations that you’d never dream would work (hello, pistachio and deep purple). And while one or two of the featured spaces are true showstoppers, most are refreshingly accessible, like the one-bedroom in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood that reads as a love letter to cobalt blue, or the…

SEE THE WORLD THROUGH TINTED GLASSES Changing your mood could be as simple (and fun) as throwing on a pair of brightly tinted shades. Chromotherapy glasses are said to subtly shift your outlook: Don red shades to boost confidence, blue to improve communication skills, and pink to ease stress. Wear for 10 to 30 minutes a day, and let the benefits, real or placebo, wash over you. PERFECT YOUR PALETTE Something as simple as wall color can dramatically change the vibe of your surroundings—and it can affect your mood, too. These color-expert recommendations will help you feel your best in each area of your home. ENTRYWAY Farrow & Ball A welcoming entryway should have enveloping colors, advises Erik Runner, Los Angeles showroom manager and color consultant for Farrow & Ball.…

When traveling, it’s important to depart with objectives. We left New York City, bound for Cuba, with a handful. Unplug, for one, from our fast-paced lifestyles. Experience the country’s rich culture and history, and get inspired, of course, by the colorful streets. Well, Havana ooh na-na is right. Our expectations were unequivocally exceeded. We were met by the most vivid hues; a lively music scene; flavorful, no-fuss food; and a weeklong adventure we’ll never forget. Cuba is so much more than an island stuck in time—the retro cars and painted buildings are just the background of a bigger picture. And we returned home with (in addition to a few bottles of rum) a whole new way of seeing color. Keep reading to explore the dynamic city through our lens. THERE…

Spend a moment in Yasmina Benazzou’s Upper West Side atelier and her penchant for fearlessly mixing and matching hues becomes abundantly clear—she knows color. Jewel tones—rich ruby reds and pops of pink—mingle with earthy browns and burnt orange, and are rounded out by sumptuously muddled pastel pinks and blues. Her decor combines elements and inspiration from all the places the globe-trotting Benazzou has put down roots—a childhood in Morocco, Jakarta during her teenage years, university in Paris, and her current hometown, New York City. This considered way of layering design, art, and her curated finds mirrors the way Benazzou approaches her line of jewelry, Haute Victoire. She arranges antique trinkets, like animal figurines and intricate beads, with organic materials, such as shells and pearls, to create whimsical charm necklaces, among…

1 Shop in person for the food that excites you, and go online to get the ingredients that barely change with the seasons or that come in a box, bag, can, or jar. 2 Your cupboards should be pared down, not stockpiled (think: one or two shapes of pasta rather than five). Fewer things in the kitchen mean fewer items at risk of going stale or spoiling. 3 Purchase only what you have room to store. Put food in smaller containers as quantities decrease (that half quart of leftover soup, for example) and label your leftovers. 4 Follow FIFO (first in, first out) to not double up on items—i.e., finish that quart of milk before you buy a new one to keep turnover high, deadstock low. 5 Shop small and…

AS A NEUTRAL When applied in bold swathes in a main room, black acts as a unifying backdrop that grounds items of disparate shapes, colors, and sizes. The darkness can make a space feel warmer and more intimate, or it can add drama when offset with equally daring hues. AS AN ACCENT In an all-white room, black helps break up the monochrome palette and encourages the eye to bounce around the room, giving white pieces more definition and depth. Small doses lend a more artistic and luxurious aesthetic—think: instant gallery or showroom vibes. AS A HIGHLIGHT The flatness of a deep black shade allows textural materials—from metallics like brass and gold to organic elements such as wood and stone—to appear in silhouette, imparting a striking, photographic quality.…

“PAINTED IN MEXICO: 1700–1790 PINXIT MEXICI” “I loved the works in this exhibition, which was on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art last summer. I haven’t stopped thinking about them—that combination of religious Old Masters art with the color of Mexico and the detail and the scale…just phenomenal.” JONAS WOOD “Jonas Wood’s work is so colorful and alluring. I grew up in Los Angeles, so I have a soft spot for his artistry and vibrant paintings.” JOHN CURRIN “I’m having a John Currin obsession moment. He is obviously very inspired by the Old Masters, which I really like, in his portraits and oil paintings. I think I try to go against the grain and look at something I’m not seeing a lot of right now.” HILMA AF KLINT “The…

A basketball court might seem like an unlikely place for art, but Dan Peterson considers every plot of asphalt a potential canvas. After moving to Tennessee in 2012 to work for NBA team the Memphis Grizzlies, the New York native noticed that many of the public outdoor courts were missing one important detail: lines. “Project Backboard originally started as just me running around to different parks in my free time and painting the lines on the courts,” recalls Peterson. Then color came into the picture. “I was doing a park that had these big, bright, beautiful sculptures next to the court. So I went to the artist, Anthony Lee, to ask if he would pick the colors for the lines, and he came up with a design for the whole…
