A residential concept for retail space may not seem like a new idea today as mega-brands settle into domiciles worldwide. But when AD100 inductee Rayman Boozer first opened his beloved Manhattan boutique, Apartment 48, in 1994, his approach was groundbreaking. Tucked on the garden level of a town house at 48 West 17th Street, the shop unfolded in a warren of rooms, with every corner (kitchen, bath, bed) outfitted as if inhabited. For Boozer, who had studied interior design at Indiana University before moving to New York to work for the likes of Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale’s, Apartment 48 was more than a chance to push products. It was a chance to push his point of view. “I was trying to find a way to express all my ideas…

Jeremiah Brent is ready for his close-up. Despite the myriad projects—house commissions, television shows, product collections—that he creates in collaboration with his high-profile husband, AD100 designer Nate Berkus, Brent has established himself as a force in his own right, applying his discriminating eye to a broad range of residential, commercial, and hospitality assignments across the U.S. His roots in the fashion world continue to inform his work in the arena of interiors, particularly in his ability to conjure environments simultaneously of the moment and timeless. “I’ve always believed the ultimate form of luxury is personalization. It has nothing to do with budget,” Brent insists. “Designing a space is, in actuality, the art of telling a story. Through vignettes, materials, client-conscious decisions, and historical references, there’s an opportunity to craft something…

From an experimental residence built in the caverns of a stone quarry (AD, April 2021) to permanent art installations that appear to have been excavated from the earth, the work of husband-and-wife architects Antón García-Abril and Débora Mesa interrogate the very ways we live and build. That inquiry now continues from their own Brookline, Massachusetts, home and studio, assembled out of prefabricated elements, and extends to Spain, where the studio’s new factory outside Madrid produces more modules for projects to come—among them a follow-up to their blockbuster interventions at Tippet Rise Art Center in Montana. ensamble.info…

“We will always reference artist-made homes,” says designer Aaron Aujla, who founded the New York–based Green River Project with Benjamin Bloomstein in 2017, after they’d worked for artists Nate Lowman and Robert Gober, respectively. What started with narrative-driven furniture collections that prioritized rough-hewn materials like raw mahogany, coffee-stained lauan, bamboo, and dried tobacco leaves quickly evolved into full-blown interiors, popularizing today’s vogue for all-over wood. The look is steadily infiltrating Lower Manhattan, where the duo designed retail spaces for menswear brand Bode (Emily Bode is Aujla’s wife) and hip Chinatown hangouts like Dr Clark, a Japanese restaurant, and The River, a new bar next door that features a 100-foot oil painting of the Hudson River. Meanwhile, they carve out idiosyncratic spaces for creative clients (among them photographer Tyler Mitchell and…

not too terribly long ago, an aristocratic neighbor dropped by interior architect and designer Martin Brudnizki’s new country place in the wilds of Sussex. Eyes widening, he was plainly stunned by the orchidaceous ensemble: lampshades piped with ruffles, fabrics as thickly flowered as any high-summer herbaceous border, flashes of mirrored glass. Passing from the English-pea-purée entrance hall into the goldenrod-yellow drawing room thickly hung with works of art—among them a heroic depiction of Charles II that is parked above the drinks table—he paused, peered, and pondered, eventually settling down on a super-sized pink ottoman. After a moment, the visitor said, in a reflective tone, “This is a lot to take in.” It was a comment that delighted Brudnizki. Indeed, it is precisely the sort of reaction that the AD100 star…

When Simone Bodmer-Turner began experimenting with clay in 2014, as a creative outlet from her day job at a start-up, the artist fell in love with the process. “It’s so…quiet,” she half whispers during a recent visit to her sun-dappled Brooklyn studio. The work itself is equally hushed: soft, undulating shapes, glazed in a spectrum of dreamy whites. “I was so interested in form making that I put color on the back burner,” she notes of her signature restrained palette. Hand-built vessels made for the florist Saipua gave way to slip-cast series, allowing her to streamline her production process and become more ambitious in her fine-art practice. In 2019 she started experimenting with chairs, and one of her most recent, pictured, features a swooping, ever-so-slightly cantilevered seat. Early in the…

Storytelling is at the heart of every memorable interior and certainly sits at the heart of AD. Our editorial team works tirelessly for months (even years!) in advance to secure spectacular spaces for our annual AD100 issue. The goal? To ensure that we deliver all the dazzle readers rightfully expect from the world’s most exciting design talents. Every project featured this month is the creation of a person or firm honored this year, and each weaves its own tale. Some are the brain-child of names long familiar to “the list,” such as the power triumvirate of architect Annabelle Selldorf, landscape designer Madison Cox, and interior designer Jeffrey Bilhuber, jointly responsible for a singular residence in the desert in Marfa, Texas, for a particularly discerning couple. Others are by more recent…

Stefanie Brechbuehler, Robert Highsmith, and Ryan Mahoney—the principals behind the multidisciplinary design studio Workstead—are connoisseurs of craftsmanship. Shortly after forming in 2009, the firm made a splash with its design of the Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The trio thoughtfully transformed the formerly industrial building, crafting a cool and contemporary space that preserved its historic roots, and the project has come to symbolize their subsequent work. Documented in the recently published monograph Workstead: Interiors of Beauty and Necessity (Rizzoli), their signature style marries the bones of the past with contemporary sensibilities. Case in point: the firm’s bold grafting of a modernist pavilion onto a graceful Victorian manse to create a genre-bending country getaway for a client in New York’s Hudson Valley (AD, July/August 2021). Additionally, Workstead’s covetable lighting designs have…

As Rayman Boozer tells it, he’s all about “putting positive vibes out in the world.” From 1994 until 2011, the Alabama-born, Indiana-raised interior designer did so from his beloved New York City store, Apartment 48, where he layered home goods into an imagined residence long before doing so was the norm. Eventually, devoted customers became adoring clientele (see page 33), and Boozer pivoted from shopkeeping to decorating. Ever since, he has created relaxed, confident rooms that brim with color, pattern, and an effortless air of joy—rooms, in other words, that bring a smile to your face. apartment48.com IN THIS ISSUE FEATURED page 33…

The publication of musical phenom Troye Sivan’s richly layered Melbourne home (AD, May 2021) introduced much of the world to Flack Studio, a wildly creative multidisciplinary practice of designers and architects already well established in Australia. Launched in 2014 and led by founder David Flack and co-principal Mark Robinson, the studio specializes in residential work and hospitality commissions, all animated by an adventurous sensibility that privileges both historical research and contemporary innovation. “We delight in architecture and interior projects in which furniture, lighting, textiles, and fittings coalesce into a holistic—if sometimes idiosyncratic—experience,” Flack says, further describing the firm’s work as “personal and definitive, with a touch of daring.” A deep sense of materiality and a passion for contemporary art are two hallmarks of the studio, whose projects include homes throughout…

After Italian designer Joe Colombo visited a shipyard in 1963 that made fiberglass hulls for boats, inspiration struck: Why not use that same hand-molding technique for the base of a chair? The results—a roomy, futuristic armchair in which seven detachable cushions hook into a molded plastic shell on a rotating base—would become an icon. He named it after his wife, Elda. Colombo moved a white fiberglass and black leather model—produced by Italian brand Comfort in 1965—into his own Milan apartment. And soon, after the design debuted at the Eurodomus 1 fair in Genoa, others followed suit. The strange chair (further documented in Joe Colombo: Designer, a new publication by Artbook) captured the 1960s space-age sensibility of fashion designers like Paco Rabanne and Pierre Cardin, and was on its way to…

Following the well-traveled road from production design to interior design, Mandy Cheng has parlayed her experience in film, television, and music into a career as one of the most sought-after decorators on the contemporary scene. Her résumé in the entertainment industry includes a stint at DreamWorks Animation, music-video production design for chart-toppers J. Cole and OneRepublic, and graphic-design work on Greta Gerwig’s movie Lady Bird and Beyoncé’s Lemonade album. She branched out into residential and commercial interiors in 2012, crafting environments defined by both high style and easy, unpretentious livability. The home she designed for actors Daveed Diggs and Emmy Raver-Lampman (AD, April 2021) made a splash with its bright pops of color and pattern and bespoke details that captured the effervescent spirit of her high-profile clients. She continues to…

Elizabeth Graziolo, the Haitian-born, New York–based architect who worked under fellow AD100 architect Peter Pennoyer for two decades before striking out on her own in 2020, is well versed in the classics. But now, as she executes ambitious projects of her own—reconfiguring classic Manhattan apartments, executing a ground-up residence in the Midwest, renovating a private estate and designing and building a boathouse in Palm Beach—she explains, “We draw upon our knowledge of traditional architecture—proven models that have evolved over centuries—while adding modern touches.” A perfect example: an apartment in Tribeca’s storied Woolworth Tower Residences, where Cass Gilbert’s architectural flourishes have been refreshed for a modern family. yellowhousearchitects.com…

Rather than being defined by an instantly recognizable signature style, the projects of interior and product designer Jane Hallworth are noted for their graciousness, ease, and soulful ambience—they look as if they evolved organically over time, not conjured magically with the wave of a decorator’s wand. Narrative-driven and intensely collaborative, her work tells stories specific to each client, articulated through the imagination of a diverse team of designers, craftsmen, artists, and fabricators. That approach has garnered a client roster chockablock with heavy-hitting Hollywood creatives, actors Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons (AD, November 2021) and Michelle Williams and director Thomas Kail among them. “I take a studied approach to the details, born of my love for architecture and design of wide-ranging periods and geographic origins,” Hallworth says, underscoring her catholic tastes…

Decada was born out of a love of collecting and travel. Founders Lucia Corredor and Cecilia Tena decided to turn their passion into a career, debuting the Mexico City–based design shop in 2010. The storefront has become an ode to their journeys and a purveyor for midcentury antiques. Organically, the practice grew into the field of interior design, where the duo translated the Atelier Decada sensibilities into serene and soulful spaces. Whether hotels or private residences (see Bosco Sodi’s Oaxacan escape in AD’s December 2020 issue), their projects brim with charm, incorporating works by local artisans and antique treasures to craft eclectic and welcoming spaces. decada.com.mx…
