Inhoudsopgave van Fall 2017 - domino

I don’t think I have ever been more excited for a new season ahead. Maximal design has trickled down from fashion to interiors, and our editors are following suit. We curated an amazing roster of cool women to feature in this issue—from multihyphenate design icon Faye Toogood (The Toogood Touch, page 152) and Madewell head designer Joyce Lee (Material Girl, page 70) to the ladies of Cherry Bombe (Bombe Squad, page 96). These talented tastemakers know that authentic style is about finding what works for you, not just copying the latest trends on Pinterest. We are endlessly inspired by interior designer Louisa Pierce of Pierce & Ward (Southern Comforts, page 128). She lends a rocker edge to her spaces, repurposing vintage pieces and adding graphic stripes to her Nashville home.…

Executive Creative Director For all my best buds. Prints charming—a fabric for inside or out that’s right in line with my fall palette. My already-favorite wallet gets a geometric update. The rug that takes your room to new dimensions. A not-boring neutral , hand-printed in India. Modular floor cushions, bench, art installation—this piece really stacks up. This mirror is literally set in stone. Talk about making a statement. I love how sleek this chair looks, perfect at a desk or in a dining room. A mixed-material stool doubles as a bedside table. Basically anything you put on it instantly appears more monumental. The coolest way to keep things hot, in hardworking concrete.…

Style Editor Form meets dysfunction. Don’t take your seating too seriously. Rules are made to be broken. Currently revolting against traditional bedding with these rose-tatted sheets, the latest from Raf Simons. Street artist and collagist Judith Supine brings the party home with a cast of characters that you’ll never want to leave. For the ladies and gentlemen who pierce everything, a bag irreverent enough to rock every day this fall. Debbie Harry in pillow form. A portrait of the punks of our generation.…

STROKE OF LUXE “Nothing inspires us more than the patina of time,” says Emiliano Salci, who along with Britt Moran founded Dimore Studio in 2003. The name means both “dwellings” and “mansions” in Italian, conjuring up visions of grand tiled halls and fading frescoes. Maximalist comes close to describing Dimore’s inspired juxtapositions of modernist classics, dreamy palettes, and retro-chic prints and patterns. Over the past decade, the duo has pioneered an instantly recognizable aesthetic from diverse references and across various industries—they’ve designed residences, hotels, shops, furniture, textiles, and art exhibitions. The common thread is their visionary use of color—peacock blues, vermilion reds, yellow ochres, desaturated pinks, and celadon greens—a glamorous mix of “rich, dusty hues,” says Moran. At this spring’s Salone del Mobile, they blended 1980s-style tubular pink chairs, Orientalist faded floral…

When it comes to styling a home, Joyce Lee has a definite advantage. As head designer at Madewell, the cool girl’s line of must-have basics (from a pink canvas jumpsuit to the new bandana-patched denim for fall), she takes an easy, unstudied approach to everything she touches. “I go for a similar aesthetic in fashion and interiors—timeless, well designed, and utilitarian,” she explains, noting she’s obsessed with her couch for the same reason one might fall in love with the perfect jacket: “It’s all about the proportions.” Lee and her husband, photographer James Ryang, moved into their Williamsburg apartment with their 2-year-old daughter, Poppy, and cat Panda last October. Lots of textiles, storied souvenirs, and a few classic pieces already give the modern space a warm, layered vibe—while keeping things…

“Before buying something, I always try to imagine how a piece will evolve as Poppy gets older,” explains Lee. Whimsical and cozy, the toddler’s bedroom includes vintage locker baskets that have been repurposed into wall-mounted storage cubbies. Removable polka dot wall decals are a low-commitment way to incorporate pattern (and a great tip for renters of any age). The idea is to grow your collection slowly and thoughtfully. “I like to start with a favorite piece and build around it over time,” says Lee. “It’s the best way for your personal style to come through.” Layered rugs and soft textures, inspirations on display, and loungeready seating—these are just a few of Lee’s favorite things.…

Last summer, I stayed at Le Belvédère du Rayon-Vert, an old hotel in the South of France. The town used to be a destination for starlets in the 1930s and’40s and is still very cinematic. I knew the hotel was a significant work of Art Deco architecture, and when I saw these pale blue marble stairs surrounded by white walls, it didn’t disappoint. Similarly, I love the shape and subtle elegance of this sofa in my bedroom. In my backyard, peach and apricot trees grow next to six different kinds of cherry trees that were planted by my neighbors—set designers for Quentin Tarantino who traveled to Japan often. At home, if I need a change, I sometimes sleep on my guest bed. I bought it in grad school and didn’t…

When Nell Riley and Aaron Schechter decided to marry in the Catskill Mountains, they were hell-bent on finding an eclectic venue that was equal parts cozy and cool. It didn’t take long to discover Foxfire Mountain House. Built in 1913, the revamped rustic inn features 10 acres of land, a hodgepodge of sleek and antique furnishings (picture: tufted velvet sofas, herringbone floors, and fox-stenciled wallpaper)—plus a bean-shaped swimming pool–turned– pond filled with frogs and lily pads. “It’s the most special place in the world,” says Riley, a video producer for Bustle. “Even if we had no decorations, I knew it would be stunning.” Still, the couple wanted to mix in a few unexpected decor elements to make it their own. “Our goal was to channel retro tropical in the midst…

“It’s the perfect time to have a piece about women and sex and power and money.” It was opening night at the prestigious Berlin International Film Festival earlier this year, and Maggie Gyllenhaal was running late. “I put on this hot pink Gucci dress with a huge purple flower at the neck,” she says. “I remember looking in the mirror and the 14-year-old part of me was like, ‘You can’t wear this, it’s insane!’ I had to take a breath and say, ‘No, actually, you’re 39. You like this dress. Keep it on.’ It’s one of my favorite things that I’ve ever worn.” The actress knows all about risk and reward. She brings this same take-no-prisoners attitude to her richly varied career, which includes an Oscar nomination for the countrified…

With talents as varied as clothier, ceramist, interior designer, artist, furniture designer, maker, and mother, Faye Toogood is delightfully hard to define. After earning her degree in art history, she had an iconic eight-year run at British design bible The World of Interiors, where she developed her fantastical aesthetic, starting with sculptural still lifes and moving on to high-concept rooms and decoration. In 2008 she launched her own company and has successfully avoided a job title ever since. The realms Toogood creates are populated by beautiful, strangely human objects. She began her solo career with a series of minimal furniture inspired by the everyday forms on an English farm: milking stools stripped down to stick figures; tables made from brass, wood, and stone. She also became known for her interior…

Style Director Ditor Crisp cotton pj’s sealed with a kiss. I would emboss these amazing leather boxes with my daughter’s doodles (the best way to show off kid art without keeping all the paper). Stationery from Mrs. John L. Strong is the ultimate luxury. If traditional lettering isn’t your thing, a symbol feels fresh. No more guessing whose phone is whose. A monogram is an easy upgrade for your everyday napkins (and a very thoughtful hostess gift). Elevate bedding with your initials for a personalized touch and a pop of color. You can feel the handmade quality of these monogrammed porcelain plates. A customized ceramic catchall is even more eye-catching. This letterman-esque number is a perfect fall style staple when worn with jeans or a pleated skirt…

WELL CAST “When I started experimenting with resin in Tribeca in the’70s,” says jewelry designer Cara Croninger, “the only people using it were me and the carpenters.” Some four decades later, her sculptural pendants, cuffs, and necklaces have inspired legions of devotees. Now based in New York’s Hudson Valley, Croninger continues to develop her craft, pouring resin into handmade molds, then carving and sanding (and sometimes polishing) each piece by hand. The final product is as prized as any precious metal. Resin Bracelets from $170 ifsohonewyork.com ROOTS THAT RESONATE As the son and grandson of flower growers, Polish-born, London-based sculptor Marcin Rusak recognized the creative potential in botanicals from an early age. In his latest Flora furnishings collection—the result of two years of research and experimentation— he reveals the beauty…

Upholstery as we know it didn’t exist until the 1600s, when French royalty began commissioning comfortable furniture for the Palace of Versailles. Wealthy homeowners followed suit, countering coded 17th-century manners by lounging in mixed company, an act that remained risqué through the late 1800s. By the 1890s, Sigmund Freud invited patients to lie down on his divan as a way of liberating them from conventional norms, while movie studios photographed 1930s starlets like Greta Garbo and Jean Harlow draped over slim, streamlined sofas to play up their sex appeal. In the second half of the 20th century, daybeds and divans were slimmed down to modernist forms, becoming space-saving pieces for urban apartments. Even today, the chaise holds a certain allure that a stuffed-up chesterfield just can’t muster.…

“I find pitas to be endlessly forgiving. This dough (which is closer to a traditional naan thanks to having yogurt in it) is smooth and silky. Throw pieces of the dough onto a hot stone in a hot oven, and they will puff up into delicious pillows. Use high-quality Dutchprocessed cocoa for earthier flavor and the richest color.” For recipes, visit domino.com. A Twist on Sliced Bread “For this dense molasses and cornmeal anadama bread, I baked two large loaves. Once cool, you can cut them into pieces and remove the crusts with a serrated knife. Keep carving the chunks with a small, sharp paring knife until you create your desired shapes. The flavor and aroma are warm, sweet, and somehow nostalgic—even the first time you make it. And the…

Creating carefully constructed spaces that bring a character to life (and make Pinterest dreams come true) is something of a natural instinct for Hallie Meyers-Shyer. The 30-year-old daughter of directors Charles Shyer (Baby Boom, Father of the Bride) and Nancy Meyers (Something’s Gotta Give, The Holiday, It’s Complicated)—also known for her aspirational interiors—took a cue from her parents when working on her debut film. Out September 8, Home Again stars Reese Witherspoon as Alice, an interior designer and separated mother of two who moves to Los Angeles with her kids to live in her late father’s house. “I was excited to direct a story about family and relationships,” says Meyers-Shyer of the script she also wrote and that Witherspoon was attached to early on. There’s no shortage of decor envy in the romantic comedy, which…

BRING IN TEXTURE Fabrics that juxtapose shiny and matte or woolly and smooth add subtle pattern while appearing almost like a solid, such as this heathered bouclé. A leopard-print velvet and futuristic materials in neoprene or metallic also create interesting depth and drama. BALANCE SCALE Playing with proportion is all about impact: Put repeat patterns on smaller items, like a pillow or lampshade, and splash larger motifs across a wall and onto a chair. If you don’t want to cover an entire room, try a small space, like a powder room or hallway. MIX CONTEMPORARY & CLASSIC Merging new-school textiles with Old World techniques (think: a damask in bright acid tones) instantly refreshes a room. Combine styles, such as a black-and-white graphic and a handcrafted Fortuny design, and make traditional…

Lee and Ryang’s home thoughtfully showcases textiles and souvenirs picked up during their travels—handwoven pillows, indigo-dyed fabrics, and a hammock from a trip to Panama that hangs above their bed, providing “constant vacation vibes.” Lee recommends starting with a clean base, like a neutral-colored sofa or bed, then piling on different patterns and colors—and making them your own. “Most of the vintage finds I’ve collected over the years reflect the fade and wear from my family,” says Lee, who also has a soft spot for pom-poms and tassels.…

The humble bench is one of the oldest known seating styles. Until the 1700s, common people sat on benches and stools, while only the nobility used chairs—hence the term chairman. Ancient pharaohs and emperors reclined on chaises woven from palms or carved from wood. In 1929, Mies van der Rohe drew inspiration for his iconic Barcelona Couch from Egyptian and Roman designs. Daybed (n.) A CHAISE OR COUCH THAT INVITES NAPPING OR SLEEPING. Carved wooden daybeds were a mainstay in Chinese and Japanese homes through antiquity. Thousands of years later, they inspired mid-century classics like the Case Study Daybed. Settees evolved in the 1600s, when high-backed chairs expanded into two-seaters. The word comes from the Old English setl—a long bench. In 18th-century France, the canapé reigned and remains the most…

There are artists and designers who are self-taught, and then there’s Louisa Pierce, who could host a master class in real-world learning. With no formal design training but plenty of style and grit, Pierce designed her Nashville home from the ground up, ultimately pivoting the hands-on project into her professional calling card. Along with business partner Emily Ward, the duo has quickly become the go-to designers for the alt-rock Hollywood set, counting Karen Elson, Brie Larson, and Leonardo DiCaprio as clients. Describing her style as “wild and whimsical,” Pierce had an equally free-flowing trajectory. She grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, and moved with her sisters to New York City in her 20s, becoming “a bit of a party girl.” There she met her future husband, musician and Rolling Stone editor…

VISUALIZE THE SPACE “Pinterest was an amazing way for us to communicate” says Meyers-Shyer of planning the look of the film set with production designer Ellen Brill and set decorator Nicole Cates. For her own home, she curated “a very specific board for every room” to envision how the hacienda would come together. THINK CINEMATIC Though her style leans more minimal and neutral, Meyers-Shyer considers Alice’s home “like my alter ego’s house,” playing with a pink and orange palette. “In set design, more is more,” says the director. “Color looks better on film, so you want to fill your backgrounds with richness and texture.” ENJOY YOUR HOME “My mother’s films have amazing attention to detail in every way, from plot structure to design,” says Meyers-Shyer. “Audiences love being in the…

Susan and Ben Work weren’t looking to buy a home when they stumbled on an Edwardian building while biking back from brunch one Saturday in San Francisco’s NOPA (North of the Panhandle) neighborhood. “We noticed this yellow house, and the door was wide open,” says Susan. Founders of the architecture and interiors firm Homework, the couple immediately saw the potential to carve out a live-work space within the rambling floor plan. “It was so beat up; it had been through more than 100 years of roommates and layers of paint,” Ben explains. “But we saw incredible charm and history.” The Works converted the front of the house into their office, painting the original trim and woodwork white and preserving the rest as much as possible. In the back, they took…
