This past September, I had the pleasure of (virtually) attending Business Of Home’s third annual Future Of Home conference, where home-industry professionals geeked out on topics ranging from the rise of coliving to digital currency’s impacts on the art world (please don’t quiz me on the latter). By the end of the two-day summit, I had a page of quotes from the star-studded lineup of panelists, including Martha Stewart, Jonathan Adler, and Christian Siriano, scribbled in my notebook. During a discussion about the future of media, Mélanie Berliet, general manager of the Spruce lifestyle website, spoke about how social and digital media platforms have led to the speedy turnover of design trends. “Information spreads so widely and quickly that it’s almost as if [trends] don’t exist,” she said. “I think that’s…

Designophiles have much to celebrate with the debut of the Denver Art Museum’s recently renovated Martin Building. More than 11,000 square feet of new and redesigned exhibition space accommodate the museum’s enviable collection of 19,000 architecture and design pieces (one of the largest such collections in the country), some of which are showcased in a rotating exhibition called By Design: Stories and Ideas Behind Objects. On display now: Denver furniture designer Laura Kishimoto’s Yumi chair, which was commissioned in 2018 by the museum’s curator of architecture and design, Darrin Alfred. “One of my favorite things about the chair is how bold and unapologetic it is,” Alfred says. “It’s meant to be looked at from all different angles.” (To peek inside the updated Martin Building, flip the page.) kishimotodesign.com…

1. The original structure is truly one of a kind. Designed in 1971 by the late modernist architect and furniture designer Gio Ponti and Denver–based James Sudler Associates, the seven-story, glass-tiled edifice—formerly known as the North Building—was one of the first high-rise art museums upon its construction and is the only Ponti–designed building in North America to this day. (The Italian architect’s notable works also include Milan’s Pirelli Tower and the iconic Superleggera chair.) “He was a visionary and artist with incredible attention to detail,” says Curtis Fentress, principal of Fentress Architects, who worked with Boston-based architecture firm Machado Silvetti on the building’s most recent iteration. “So much of what Ponti is known for is represented in the tower: textured facades, geometric cutouts, and form following function.” 2. The three-year, $175-million…
