THERE ARE A LOT OF things you must do when you’re an interiors stylist. Like adjusting the angle of a hosta leaf just so (those who have been there will understand). Or moving a chair to capture its most beautiful angle. Jiggering a doorway to let the perfect amount of light enter a room. Or, as was the case on set in Miami Beach for our ED cover shoot, taking off your pants. Yes, the multitalented designer Jean-Louis Deniot and I swapped trousers. Why? Because, in all seriousness, it was necessary for capturing the life of an apartment: its personality, its soul. In the case of the stunning interior Deniot designed in a Miami Beach aerie on upper Collins Avenue, made recently hot by the additions of the Faena complex…

1 Luxurious design and technology make cozy bedfellows in Gamma’s Saks sectional, which combines nubuck upholstery (shown here in Terra-Cotta) with a hydraulic piston mechanism in the back cushions, allowing loungers to adjust the height for added support. $20,992. gammarr.it 2 Joseph Walsh conjures up the rugged coastal landscape of Connemara, Ireland—the source of this table’s green marble—in his Exilumen I piece, whose resin legs evoke stalactites. (For more on Walsh, turn to page 120.) 75• w. x 66• d. x 39.5• h., price upon request. josephwalshstudio.com 3 Last year, a trend took over eBay in which customers bid on so-called “mystery boxes” whose contents they learned only upon receipt (often shared in YouTube videos). Fortunately, the only unknown factor of Mark Evans’s handmade wood-and-lacquer Mystery Box, covered with lenticular…

For more than two decades, Dries Van Noten fans have flocked to his boutiques— not just for the clothes but for the colorful, lived-in interiors created by Belgian designer Gert Voorjans. Now you can bring home Voorjans’s eclectic style with his new collection of textiles and passementerie for Jim Thompson Fabrics (jimthompson fabrics.com). Inspired by everything from 20th-century Fauvist art to the Ballets Russes, the color-drenched line includes vibrant stripes, rustic linen checks, painterly prints, and plenty of sumptuous silk.…

Last October, ED declared that 1960s Swinging London style was back—at least where the British capital’s bar scene was concerned—and that interior designer Martin Brudnizki was the man to thank for it. After all, his studio is responsible for the lauded refresh of Annabel’s private club, which opens this spring, plus a host of popular eating establishments, including Sexy Fish in Mayfair, Pink Mamma in Paris, and Soho Beach House in Miami. But if the only list you’re able to get on for Annabel’s is the waiting kind, I highly recommend snagging a navy leather chair across town at the Coral Room, located within the recently renovated Bloomsbury hotel. The space is 2,100 cavernous square feet of lacquered high-gloss vermilion walls, studded with 36 commissioned drawings by British illustrator Luke…

CARISHA SWANSON In “Kitchen Bonanza,” page 76, ED’s senior market editor shows us must-haves for the aspiring home cook. But we all have to start somewhere. For her, she says, “almost every meal begins with a craft cocktail or a glass of wine.” JEAN-LOUIS DENIOT For Deniot, whose designs for a Miami Beach apartment appear on page 96, location is paramount. “The surrounding environment becomes an extension of my interiors,” the French designer says. “Every city has a unique vibe.” INGRID ABRAMOVITCH As ED’s features director, Abramovitch (who speaks with Jean-Louis Deniot on page 96) has seen many a home, and she thinks the living room tells the most about its owner. “It’s like a Rorschach test,” she says. “Minus the ink blots.” STUDIO PEREGALLI For inspiration, Laura Sartori Rimini…

Pink is a powerfully decadent color. A powdery hue can soften a room; if you are feeling punchy, consider Elsa Schiaparelli’s signature shocking pink, which unapologetically demands attention. When confidently used, a fuchsia velvet sofa or walls will pull your eye in and lift your spirits. In fashion, I adore Tom Ford’s subversive use of pink, lending sex appeal to clean lines. Dolce & Gabbana pair it with a masculine cut, creating a look that is anything but sweet. No matter your style inclination—be it modern, minimalist, or baroque—in the words of the author and actress Kay Thompson: “Think pink!”…

Herzog & de Meuron In the historic Porta Volta neighborhood of Milan, the Swiss architects built a new home for the research-based Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli: a modern glass temple of knowledge and reading, featured in Elle Decor Italy’s February 2017 issue. Eric Egan The Milan-based interior designer decorated a 10,000-square-foot 17th-century farmhouse in central Italy from start to finish in 12 months. The pool loggia, which we featured in April 2014, required little finessing. Pierre-Yves Rochon A palace and 16th-century Florentine convent, previously occupied by a pope and an Egyptian viceroy, became a Four Seasons hotel in the hands of this decorator, as seen in Elle Decoration France’s December 2008 issue. The Box The Cormanni + Minerva architecture studio and the Milanese design store Spotti collaborated to convert the rooms…

I HAD AN IMPRESSION OF MIAMI long before I ever visited. I grew up in Paris and loved hearing about the South Beach scene: Gianni Versace and his mansion, Madonna hanging out at the clubs. When I first arrived here 10 years ago, I expected to find a sexy paradise with pastel-colored Art Deco buildings and convertibles cruising along the beach. And a lot of Miami Beach was exactly like that. But on that trip, I also discovered another side to the city at Vizcaya, the Renaissancestyle estate built by the industrialist James Deering in 1916. Wandering through the villa and its gardens, I found that there was a link between European taste and American culture that was surprising to see in the midst of such an easygoing and cool…

Each month, ELLE DECOR asks an artisan to create a unique item for us that literally has no price tag. At the end of the year, we’ll auction off these pieces to benefit the charity of each maker’s choice. There are many adjectives to describe the work of the Haas Brothers. Like mischievous. (Also, hairy works occasionally.) Haasian design, as it will one day be known, is a mélange of Crayola color palettes, hirsute furniture, and psychedelic forms. Arianna Oeuf-ington, a hand-thrown ceramic “fairy berry,” is quintessential Haas: an objet d’art that is, at once, sublime and forbidding. Like Eve’s apple, it might look delicious, but we don’t recommend eating it. r-and-company.com…

In the fall of 2016, when the beauty titan Bobbi Brown departed her 25- year-old eponymous brand, she could easily have taken time off. Instead, she immediately threw herself into a new start-up. “I called my husband, saying, ‘OK, it’s done. I’m out,’” Brown recalls telling her spouse, Steven Plofker, a businessman and real estate developer. “He said, ‘I’m really happy, because I’m doing this hotel, and I need your help.’” This March, the couple opens the George Inn, a 32-room boutique hotel in Montclair, New Jersey, where they live (thegeorge montclair.com). Built in 1902 as the Georgian Inn, a home for Charles Van Vleck, a member of a wealthy local family, the house was a residential hotel in the 1940s, and its carriage house was recently the state headquarters…

David Rockwell has a penchant for the theatrical. Yes, he’s known for having an imaginative, sometimes sensational approach to design—have you seen the three-story chandelier he made for the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas? While he hasn’t won the Pritzker (yet), Rockwell is the only starchitect to have won a Tony Award. So it was not a shock when the Second Stage Theater company commissioned the Rockwell Group to reimagine the Helen Hayes Theatre, on West 44th Street in New York. The Hayes, which was originally called the Little when it opened in 1912, is a rara avis among Broadway theaters, as it’s the smallest and one of the last to be independently owned. The decoration is a mélange of the building’s history— reproductions of tapestries by François Boucher originally…

When she was 13 years old, Lauren Ridloff—who is deaf and making her Broadway debut in the revival of Children of a Lesser God—decided to stop using her voice and communicate in only three ways: through American Sign Language, an interpreter, or writing. “I could see that people were judging my intelligence based on the way I was speaking,” explains Ridloff, who grew up in Chicago and now lives in a Williamsburg, Brooklyn, brownstone with her husband and two sons. “When I use my voice, I have no idea what it sounds like.” She shares this choice with Sarah, the deaf school janitor whom she plays in Children, which starts previews March 22. Ridloff got the part after an acquaintance from the 2000 Miss Deaf America pageant— which she won—recommended…

I don’t always reveal everything about a dish. That wouldn’t be fun. It’s more sporting to play a game with dinner guests to see if they can recognize what they’re eating. I live for that reaction that’s somewhere between happily surprised and thoroughly bemused. And why not? Cooking should be an adventure, and experimenting with unexpected ingredients is a great way to keep things interesting. With today’s access to virtually anything, anywhere, there’s no excuse not to. As a chef, I would advise you to perfect the traditional recipe first before making alterations. There’s a lot of trial and error in discovering new flavors and how they work with each other. Making a good cream of cauliflower soup, for instance, is practically the same as making a butternut squash soup,…
