Here at ELLE DECOR, designers and decorators are always the stars of our show. So you can imagine how much the team relishes the voyeuristic pleasure of assembling Designer and our Designers at Home issue. L’Objet founder There’s the alluring opportunity Elad Yifrach’s handsome to discover insider secrets—the Lisbon bedroom specific antiques and vintage (page 110). finds, textiles, tile, and more the experts select for themselves. And there’s also the chance to see how top talents with diverse aesthetic sensibilities decide to rest their eyes, away from professional mood boards and meetings. As we worked on the issue, a theme emerged: a sense of calm. And with chaos reigning in the outside world, what could be more seductive at home than that? Don’t get me wrong—“calm” doesn’t equal “quiet.” In…
FULL CIRCLE Five new launches make the most of components that are recycled, repurposed, and ready for the spotlight. WEAVER TAKES IT ALL A Swedish rug brand scores big with a dramatic new Stockholm HQ by designer Giancarlo Valle. WHEN INTERIOR DESIGNER AND ARCHITECT GIANCARLO VALLE first saw the space that would become the new Nordic Knots flagship showroom—a vacant early-20th-century movie theater in Stockholm’s design district—he felt instant chemistry. “There was so much worth keeping, and I could see it would take only a light touch to give it a more modern edge,” Valle says. That feeling reminded him of his first meeting with husband and wife Fabian Berglund and Liza Laserow, who founded the local label along with Fabian’s brother, Felix. Their creative synergy led to a new rug…

SHOP: LA & NYC CULT OF CHIC Since launching Cult Gaia—made famous by the bestselling bamboo Ark bag—in 2012, Jasmin Larian Hekmat has turned her brand into a fashion force with everything from dresses to shoes. A new pair of flagship stores, in New York’s SoHo and on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, showcase her theatrical styles in suitably dramatic backdrops. The West Coast branch was designed by Alexis Brown and Anno Mille. “We tried to make it feel monumental,” says Brown, who referenced Roman and Greek architecture. The space features onyx mosaic flooring, silver Roberto Matta puzzle furniture, and a goddess sculpture on the roof. Adds Brown: “We really got into the ritual references.” –Ingrid Abramovitch cultgaia.com DINE: NYC ROMAN HOLIDAY Spread across 6,500 square feet on the third…
The Carlyle collection from David Yurman takes its design cues from the New York City hotel of the same name—the launch campaign starred Scarlett Johansson on location at its iconic Bemelmans Bar—refracting Jazz Age elegance through an architectural sensibility. A riff on Yurman’s signature cable motif, Carlyle’s silver and gold hexagonal links feature knife-edge faceting and contrasting matte finishes that subtly evolve the brand’s history of mixing metals. Ever practical, the links are open on the underside, minimizing the weight of each piece while maximizing its aesthetic impact. It’s razzle-dazzle with a Deco twist.…
