“Marble is a great material to play with. It cools off wood and brass.” —dorothée meilichzon “THE CHALLENGE WITH hotels is creating a palette that needs to last for seven to 10 years,” explains Dorothée Meilichzon of her near-cosmic design blending past, present, and future. Meilichzon—lauded by several publications as France’s designer du jour— approached Hotel Bachaumont in Paris’s Second Arrondissement by complementing the building’s striking Art Deco structure with modern interiors that have staying power. The unique color scheme looks like it could have been pulled from one of her favorite films, Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon—and, like the movie, Bachaumont is classic but innovative, timeless yet atypical. “I thought long-term,” says Meilichzon, “with blues, dark green, and yellow for the rooms. In the lobby, I used brownish reds and…

A sunny corner displays Rachel Antonoff’s collection; the designer gets ready for a game of croquet on her new rooftop.  ON A CHANCE visit to the same building as the domino offices, womenswear designer Rachel Antonoff happened to mention her love of the magazine, and peeked her head in to ask for an introduction as soon as she realized the happy coincidence. For months she had been hoping to redesign her office. “There was always a running list of things we wanted to do, but we never seemed to have the time or the budget,” Antonoff explains. After meeting our style editor, Elaina Sullivan—already a devotee of the designer’s pop culture–winking, work-ready dresses and separates—the two immediately hit it off, and they jumped at the opportunity to collaborate on the…

“THERE’S ALWAYS ONE DEGREE of separation from making it myself,” says Taavo Somer, referring to his up-closeand-personal approach to designing and building a space, whether a salty waterfront dive bar or a spruced-up men’s clothing shop. It’s a rare combo of talents—dreaming up ideas and putting them into action—that’s created an eclectic mini empire of dining, drinking, and lifestyle spots scattered across lower Manhattan, each with real character and charm. In October, Somer launches Freemans, a book covering more than a decade of his work, including essays on design, interiors, and style, as well as a handful of favorite recipes. Sitting upstairs at Freemans, his first and (for now) best-known establishment, the designer and architect traces his hands-on ethics back to his Estonian parents, who designed and built their own…

PERHAPS THE MOST STRIKING ELEMENT of Villa Lena, an 18th-century Tuscan estate-turned-hotel that’s also a thriving artist residency, is the convergence of nature and culture. “We try to weave the two together whenever we can,” says Lena Evstafieva, whose family bought the 1,300-acre property in 2008. Along with her husband, musician Jérôme Hadey, and nightlife entrepreneur Lionel Bensemoun (of Le Baron fame), Evstafieva took on the daunting task of renovating the estate, reopening it in 2013. The final touch: having artist and entrepreneur André Saraiva pen the Villa Lena logo in chic handwritten script. Far from a stuffy time capsule, the interiors feel refreshingly contemporary while still rooted in place: Italian design from the 1970s and ’80s, like the colorful Ettore Sottsass “Tahiti” lamp and a tiled white table from…

For years Larson has collected a rainbow of vintage glassware, which lives in her breakfast nook. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN TECHNICOLOR, as the trope goes, and then there is Elsie Larson. The Nashville-based blogger for A Beautiful Mess covers all things food, home, style, and crafting with a ferociously positive zeal. Dropping in to her home similarly feels a bit like visiting the happiest place in America—a playland for design-loving grown-ups. It’s unsurprising that this house, quite beautiful and not the least bit a mess, is where Larson runs her site; creates photo apps like A Color Story with her business partner and sister, Emma Chapman; and, in her downtime, paints, makes jewelry, and whips up colorful cocktails—while sharing all of it impeccably with her over a million…

On a trip to Oaxaca, Mexico, New Yorkers Elise Durbecq and Gillian Tozer fell in love with the structured market bags they saw the local women carrying around. “We recognized the beauty, technique, and tradition,” Tozer explains. Having already worked together at Opening Ceremony, the duo launched TRUSS soon after, collaborating closely with artisans to create high-fashion designs using traditional techniques. One of their bags takes a full day for a skilled weaver to complete. “People come to the market in Mexico and haggle for a blouse that took months to make, even though it’s the same quality as something made in a French atelier,” Durbecq says. “If we don’t pay artisans properly and treat them with respect, the next generation won’t want to learn." In addition to supporting small…

TRANSFORM YOUR BED into a stylish haven by combining different layers with pops of color and pattern. Start with a neutral base, such as white or gray sheets. Keep it modern by extending the same palette into a soft, plush duvet cover that has a subtle but graphic texture. Then, mix in brighter hues and play with prints that vary in scale. Finish the bed with accent pillows to introduce new details, or embroidery to keep things lively. All that’s left is to pick out your PJs.…

Harris fabricut.com; Chaise Pillow in Geps Woven Fabric Color 6 by Vervain fabricut.com WHEN INTERIOR DESIGNER KARA COX and her husband, Stephen, closed on their Greensboro, North Carolina, home last September, they knew they had their work cut out for them. Despite already undergoing several rounds of renovations, the mid-century split-level—originally built in 1954—was still covered in outdated furnishings (think: bulky wall casings, wroughtiron railings, and lots of terra-cotta.) “The interior didn’t match the architecture of the house,” Cox explains. “We decided we needed to take it back to its streamlined roots, but still update it with contemporary details.” This included knocking down walls,…

“I realized that our tastes are often the way we experience the world,” says Stephanie Danler, explaining the idea behind her recent coming-ofage novel, Sweet Bitter. Published in May to glowing reviews, the book follows a young waitress’s fast-paced indoctrination into New York City’s restaurant scene. Fresh out of college, Danler’s heroine is hungry for all that the city has to offer, including post-shift alcohol-and drugfueled nights, eventually coming into her own. Danler, too, started her New York life as a server in some of Manhattan’s hottest eateries, building a seasoned career managing and launching restaurants and wine stores. She ended up at the West Village mainstay Buvette while writing Sweet Bitter as an M.F.A. student at The New School. “I’ve seen the way paying attention to food can change…

The Abramcyks use industrial materials in innovative ways, like running the loft’s lighting through copper conduit pipes, custom-made by contractor Jeff Li. Together for almost 20 years, Nadine and Matt Abramcyk share an understated sense of style. Between them, Nadine and Matt Abramcyk have at least a dozen projects on the go at any given time. Nadine co-owns nontoxic nail salon Tenoverten, which has four locations in New York; one in Austin, Texas; and a new one opening in Los Angeles this fall. Matt is a well-known downtown restaurateur whose roster includes Smith & Mills, Tiny’s & The Bar Upstairs, Warren 77, Navy, and the soon-to-open Brooklyn hotel Gowanus Inn & Yard. Add two kids to the mix—Zoe Lee, 4, and Solomon, 3—and you’re probably tired just reading this. “It’s…

ON A RECENT TRIP to Paris with our style editor, Elaina Sullivan, a chance drive by the cool stationery shop Papier Tigre in Le Marais sparked the idea for one of our favorite stories in this issue, “The Kit,” which rounds up everything you need to make your desk ready for a new season. Next, a stream of Scandi-fueled inspiration on our Insta feeds landed us in Copenhagen to explore a city that’s constantly reinventing itself as a center for food, design, and art—and, with a fresh crop of shops and studios, pointing to a new direction in Nordic design. This year’s Style Issue is all about the team that brought these stories together. We asked writers, stylists, photographers, and other contributors to report back from Paris, Milan, Tokyo, Los…

WHERE TO EAT & DRINK Spontan Guldbergsgade 29 F, tapperietbrus.dk/spontan Located in the Nørrebro area in an expansive former factory building (also home to BRUS, one of the city’s most deservedly hyped brewpubs) is Spontan. Diners can expect an experimental yet relaxed food experience from Copenhagen’s youngest Michelin-starred chef, along with carefully paired craft beers that are brewed on-site. The Standard & Almanak Restaurant Havnegade 44, thestandardcph.dk Claus Meyer, founding father of New Nordic cuisine, and Danish jazz legend Niels Lan Doky joined forces to convert this former 1937 Art Deco customs house into The Standard, a stylish dining and jazz destination. Almanak (just one of The Standard’s top-notch restaurants) serves up traditional Danish food with a contemporary twist in a space boasting views of the harbor. Stedsans ØsterGro Æbeløgade…

FOR JENNIFER HUNTER and Georgie Hambright, partners in J+G Design, every project is personal. The New York-based designers recently brought their eclectic sensibility to a SoHo loft, a Harlem brownstone, and a swanky Washington, D.C., apartment. They’ve had their plate so full, in fact, that they’ve had to delay their most personal project yet: Hunter and her husband Bradley’s lightfilled new townhouse in Greenwood, Brooklyn. “As my first real home, I wanted to create a place that was young and fun, but functional for everyday living,” Hunter said. As they scouted fixtures for the renovation, the duo cast a wide net. “As designers, we like to see all the options,” Hunter said. So they went to Ferguson Bath, Kitchen, & Lighting Gallery in Maspeth, NY, in search of eco-friendly appliances…

SOLIDS A solid rug is the canvas you’ll paint your room around—make a statement with a showstopping color. BOTANICALS Far from fussy, these florals transform a room into a lavish indoor oasis. STRIPES In textures, metallics, and handwoven patterns, these high-style stripes go beyond the beach house. GEOMETRIC These rugs steal the show, so cast them with more low-key neutral furniture or patterns in a similar palette. “Hand-knotted rugs have always been the most premium construction. There’s a reason why they’re expensive; nothing looks as good or wears as well. It’s a marvel the technique hasn’t changed.” —MADELINE WEINRIB, HOMEWARES DESIGNER OVERDYED If you want a rich, modern look, try overdyed, which means vintage carpets are distressed, then saturated in a bath of color. tailor fit Whether you live in…

WALLPAPER CAN MAKE A BIG IMPACT on your walls, but it can also dramatically lift a room when placed only on the ceiling, drawing the eye skyward and creating a calming space overall. An added perk is that this designer’s trick is budget-friendly. Typically a wallpaper installer will charge a few hundred dollars to hang paper on the ceiling of a standard-size room—which is a fraction of the usual cost to paper four walls. The secret to finding this winning combination? Choose a paint color that really complements the wallpaper using this no-fail formula: Draw out a hue you like in the print by selecting a paint in a shade darker or lighter. If your paper leans more neutral, consider an extra-vibrant color that will really make the pattern pop.…

Starting Brother Vellies and working with artisans across Africa was a natural fit for James: “My father is from Ghana, my grandmother was involved in philanthropy there, and my mother was very big on befriending people in her travels.” The Broklyn apartment of Aurora James is a fabulous yet unfussy amalgam of pieces she’s accumulated over many trips abroad, which have helped define both her personal style and the direction for Brother Vellies, her line of bold shoes and bags. Since launching in 2013 and winning the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award two years later, James’s work has led her to spend as much time traveling around Africa as hanging out in her Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. The idea for the brand came about following a visit to South Africa, where she met…

“We wanted white walls, like a beautiful background we can constantly update. The more flexibility in your home, the more it energizes you,” says Barberich. CHRISTENE BARBERICH can’t help but approach things instinctually—be it her Brooklyn Heights home, her wardrobe, or her role as global editor in chief and cofounder of Refinery29, the maverick fashion and lifestyle site that launched in 2005. In other words, she finds things she loves that both defy and define a genre. Case in point: the two-bedroom apartment Barberich shares with her husband, Kevin Baxter, and their three-legged cat, Phoebe—with every inch being a testament to the power of good editing, skilled vintage shopping, savvy organization, and the art of marriage. Baxter, an architect who founded the firm Baxter Project, oversaw the complete project two…

“With each new inhabitant of this house, another layer has been added,” Fetherston says. “It was definitely not a total redo.” KNOWN IN THE FASHION WORLD for her eponymous clothing line and her highly recognizable signature style (pale blonde hair that crowns an ultra-romantic aesthetic), Erin Fetherston has always telegraphed that look into interiors, too. “My husband [platinum recording artist Gabe Saporta] always joked that my New York apartment was a total fantasy princess palace,” says the designer. When it came time to start a family last year, a move to Los Angeles felt like a natural step for the couple. Shortly after they began house hunting, they found a 1923 West Hollywood bungalow that was previously owned by a friend. Tucked behind a wall shrouded in greenery on a…
