Innholdsfortegnelse for Volume 32-4 i Florida Design – Digital Edition

We are beginning 2023 on a rather high note here at Florida Design, and it has everything to do with brand awareness. Starting this year, you will be seeing our title in more places across the state and on an even more regular basis. There are a few reasons for that. One is that we’ve increased the frequency of our Miami edition to four times a year to better cover the bustling design scene in that city. If you live in or travel to Miami on a regular basis, I don’t have to tell you the town is as dynamic as ever with a recharged attitude that makes it seem as if COVID was nothing but a long fever dream. Business seems to be thriving in every sector and luxury brands…

Florida architect Max Strang, who now has offices in Miami, Sarasota, and Winter Haven, has given his designs the print treatment again. Subtropic: The Architecture of [Strang] is a new monograph that focuses on the firm’s commitment to site- and climate-driven structures in subtropical settings. “It is our architectural response to site and climate that infuse our specific designs with character and identity,” says Strang. “That results in a uniquely Floridian version of modernism.” The massive tome features a forward by Aaron Betsky (director of the School of Design + Architecture at Virginia Tech), an essay by Anne-Marie Russell (executive director of Architecture Sarasota), and a showcase of 10 Strang residences with drawings and photography that underscore the firm’s commitment to regional modernist design. strang.design EASTERN TRADITIONS Attention, Japanese design…

GLASS AND GLASSMAKING have been a part of Rob Stern’s life since early on. He began studying the art form in 1988 and holds degrees from San Francisco State University and the University of Miami on the subject. He apprenticed with John Lewis Glass in California for five years where he trained as a metal fabricator. He then went on to train with master Petr Novotny at the Ajeto Glass Factory in the Czech Republic. And he’s led the glass program at the University of Miami and been a visiting guest professor in the glass department at the University of Texas, Arlington. In 2003, he opened his own studio in Wynwood, which moved to Dania Beach in 2022, where he and his team have executed all types of glass compositions…

I recently had the good fortune of touring the operations at Reef Aquaria Design near Fort Lauderdale where Jeff and Joleen Turner have been making large-scale aquatic environments a reality for clients for some 20 years or so. The Turners are long-time partners of Florida Design and we are excited for their growth and what the future holds for their innovative company. Like Reef Aquaria’s diverse client base, readers of this magazine have long sought the unique design opportunities available to them in Florida—homes that bring the outdoors in, push the indoors out, and, in some cases, incorporate gorgeous living coral structures miles from shore. Each issue of Florida Design delivers on the imagination and creativity of homeowners, designers, architects, and builders across the state. And there has been no…

THE GOLDEN AGE The holidays are behind us, but it seems golden tones remain. Perhaps it’s movie awards season fever. Whatever the reason, we certainly think CASTRO LIGHTING’s Safari chandelier is a winner. The majestic pendant was designed to be contemplated and admired thanks to the handcrafted giraffe “spots” on each of its brass plates. As for its light effect? Think moody and mesmerizing—just like an Oscar-worthy performance. castrolighting.com…

FORT LAUDERDALE FEMINIST SPIRIT Francie Bishop Good puts women first in everything she does A COLLECTOR, ADVOCATE, AND ARTIST, Francie Bishop Good is the ideal type of creative: one who’s as dedicated to championing the contributions of other female artists as she is about promoting her own work. Her waterside home in Fort Lauderdale is a backdrop to 30 years of serious collecting, and includes the first significant piece she purchased (a Louise Nevelson wall sculpture) with her husband, David Horvitz, back in 1986. Since then, more than 1,200 other works have joined the collection, most from unknown, emerging, and established female artists all over the world. Her advocacy efforts are many, and prime among them was the 2006 founding of the Girls’ Club, a foundation that, among other things, nurtures…

“OF COURSE it is. Handmade. Handcut. Paper. Handcut paper. Paper, cut by hand. What else? Original drawing. Hand-drawn image. Then cut. Remove negative space. Leave image behind. Cut here. Cut there. Don’t cut there. Slivers pile around my feet. Like fallen cherry blossoms.” It’s satisfying to hear that Hiromi Moneyhun’s understanding of her work is as poetic as the works themselves. Born in Kyoto, Moneyhun began drawing at a young age, and with no formal training whatsoever, developed a unique voice that combines traditional Japanese art forms with the modernity of Japan’s biggest cities. The artist blends the old Japanese art of kiri-e (paper cutting) with influences of moku hanga (woodcut prints) to produce a dazzling combination of intricate patterns and pictorial designs that’s all her own. In her latest series…

OVER THE PAST DECADE, Dustin Harewood’s practice has focused on the themes of multiculturalism and the consequences of colonialism and industrialization. “While beautifully fascinating and simultaneously destructive, our contemporary culture is one that is wasteful yet transformative,” says the Jacksonville resident. “[It’s] a throwaway culture, which takes garbage and upcycles it into valuable objects that transcend time, religion, fine art and commerce.” Harewood’s own work does just that by embellishing and adorning discarded objects and transforming them into art. All those elements are present in his latest series, 36 Views of a Dying Reef, inspired by the submerged landscape off the shorelines of Barbados. “The series deals with the complicated relationship between us and nature,” says Harewood. “I find it fascinating that there are many instances when we unwittingly destroy…

KIM COLLINS Collins DuPont Design Group “Massive Moxie,” page 178 This issue is fronted by a custom estate from Gulfshore Homes that was made for a young dynamic family in Miromar Lakes. It is the second house the luxury builder has constructed for these clients and the large residence is special in many ways. Much of that has to do with the superior interior design approach by Kim Collins, one of the principals at Collins DuPont Design Group. “A playful undertone erupts through color, line work, and a complex mixing of materials,” says Collins. “You can see how the vibrant personality of the family shines through each room, but carefully allows the art to lead the conversation. It was my honor to capture the spirit of the family through the…

Q. Do you tackle kids’ rooms very often in your firm? Not enough. We do about two to three such spaces a year, but I would love to do more. Q. What’s your approach? There are no limits to our imagination and that’s why kids’ rooms are our favorite type of projects, They force us to remember the joy and playfulness of life. Q. But I’m sure there are certain things you have to keep in mind? Yes. If the room is large enough, we definitely include a homework space or a reading area. And we also try to design a space they’ll grow into and love for many years to come. The thought process is always: “What do they love? What do we need to incorporate to make them…

AT FIRST GLANCE, Kathia St. Hilaire’s Legba recalls Jacques-Louis David’s Napoleon Crossing the Alps, but upon closer inspection, when we start to notice the Haitian iconography that’s a hallmark of St. Hilaire’s work, we realize her work is as far from a classical European portrait as art can get. Her signature details—family gatherings, children at play, scenes of death—reveal themselves slowly on ornate textured surfaces that are composed through a lattice framework of linoleum panels sewn together to resemble ceremonial Haitian Vodun flags. St. Hilaire refers to her signature technique—which involves everything from cosmetics and textiles to jewelry and metals—as relief printing. The laborious method eventually creates haptic, abstract collages with intricate and ethereal backgrounds that become the stage for the artist’s figurative imagery. Beautifully layered, the artworks (many of which…

CRUMMY GUMMY is the pseudonym for Mauricio Murillo, a contemporary photographer born and raised in Central Florida who refers to himself as an advocate for our lost identity. Through his Salad Days series, he’s captured a group of young adults known as “gallery kids,” who make the art rounds in Orlando with undeniable self-confidence and fashion-forward authority. “Fascinated by youth culture, I explore how stories of diversity bloom into individualism in modern society,” he says. “Through portrait photography I attempt to celebrate the idea of being comfortable in your own skin.” Many of the subjects in the series are members of the LGBTQ community, and Murillo’s portraits allow them to be themselves. “Fluid sexuality, pride, race, gender and the constantly evolving culture heritage we carry with us are a focus…

IMAGINE RUNNING OUT the front door, right onto the sand, and into the ocean, knowing that back at home a sun-filled haven with cozy furnishings and the soothing sounds of nature awaits. It may sound like one of those slow-motion TV commercials for five-star resorts, but interior designer Kendall Dennis managed to make the scenario a daily reality for her and her family. “We’ve had multiple people tell us that when they walk into this house, they feel like they can exhale,” she says of her new home, a 4,000-square-foot charmer on the main drive of Ponte Vedra Beach. Dennis, who is originally from Long Island, grew up in Ponte Vedra Beach, but left to study interior design at Parsons in New York. Sure enough, Florida lured her back, and in…
