Around The World Last summer, I had the pleasure of taking two European vacations—one in Italy, the other in Croatia. When I returned from my travels, my phone’s camera roll was filled with hundreds of photos of centuries-old stone structures, patinated terra-cotta roof shingles, gilded interior moldings, and streets lined with stucco buildings in a spectrum of muted sunset hues. You could chalk up my fascination with European design to my profession, but one doesn’t have to work for a home magazine to appreciate the built beauty across the pond. Several of the homes, spaces, and products featured in this issue are inspired by destinations in Europe and beyond. You’ll meet a Boulder ceramist whose vessels are influenced by Mediterranean and Asian pottery (“Modern Artifacts,” page 13), tour an Aspen…

NEW IN TOWN For British designer Andrew Hays, emotion is everything. Since founding the luxury kitchen and design brand Cabbonet in 2019, he has developed a collection of materials and finishes (read: brushed titanium hardware, warm walnut casework, Calacatta marble countertops) with a rich, tactile quality that often elicits a strong emotional response. “I want designers to use our materials and finishes to deliver projects that feel very personal,” Hays says. “We’ve seen a massive movement toward eclectic, warm, nostalgic, homey spaces. Even if [their homes are] contemporary, people want to feel a sense of comfort.” With the recent opening of Cabbonet’s first Rocky Mountain West studio, which is located inside the Exquisite Kitchen Design showroom at the Denver Design District, Coloradans can now outfit their cookspaces with the brand’s…

THE NEW CLASSICS Borrowing design wisdom from previous generations can yield timeless results. RUSTIC CHIC Enter this Morrison kitchen and you may feel you’ve teleported to Europe. “I started with reclaimed vintage French oak flooring by [South Carolina–based supplier] Vintage Elements,” says designer Dion Williams, who also applied the material to floating shelving and a custom range hood. Adding to the sense of authenticity are intentionally imperfect terra-cotta tiles from Tabarka Studio and walls of Ascona fieldstone, from Telluride Stone, topped with a thick mortar wash known as the German schmear finish. “The result gave us that historic farmhouse look we were hoping for,” Williams says. AU NATUREL If Grace Kelly were to design a Colorado kitchen, it might look something like this fresh yet classic space in the Country…

The opportunity for an architectural do-over is rare in Aspen’s West End, where the Historic Preservation Committee keeps close watch over every addition and alteration made to the neighborhood’s charming homes, many of which have been around since miners and silver barons first settled in town more than a century ago. So when a corner lot occupied by a 1970s-era house came up for sale just a few blocks away from their West End summer home, a Houston-based couple saw their chance. Certain that the Historical Preservation Committee would find nothing there worthy of saving, they purchased the property and began making plans to rebuild the home from the ground up. At their former residence, a gingerbread-trimmed Victorian, a historical designation had prevented them from changing much more than the…

They say not to take your work home with you, but for Clara Klein, lead sommelier at Sunday Vinyl restaurant and wine bar, that rule doesn’t apply. At her Arvada home, Klein regularly hosts family and friends for dinner parties with the same convivial vibe found at her workplace. Her husband—Ian Palazzola, executive chef at Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder—prepares elaborate dishes, vinyl-record tunes set the mood, and of course, Klein pairs the meal with great wine. Her current favorite: La Bégou, a Corbières Blanc from Maxime Magnon’s vineyards in southern France. “This is the only white that Maxime makes, and it’s a bit of a secret of the wine world,” Klein says. “It has the kind of luscious texture that’s perfect with sweet corn, grilled shrimp, and late-season…

Here & Now WHAT’S HOT IN DENVER DESIGN Beholding a sculptural vessel built by ceramist Serra Kizar feels a bit like discovering an archaic artifact. Crafted from textural stoneware clay or smooth terra-cotta, each creation proudly displays the imperfections of a piece made entirely by hand and seemingly exposed to years of wear. Since childhood, Kizar has been inspired by the art of ancient civilizations—“things that were dug up or taken from the sea,” she says. After finding her passion for ceramics just five years ago, in an elective art class at Naropa University, the Boulder-based maker has been most influenced by vessels created by Mediterranean and Asian cultures. “I’m looking at a lot of symmetrical historical pieces, and my designs look like them, except that they’re a little bit…
