ELLE DECOR

ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE

CONVERSATION PIECE • The one object everyone is, will be, or should be talking about. This month: Hermès taps London-based designer Tomás Alonso to reimagine the side table in lacquered glass and Japanese cedar, with a palette as punchy as its pedigree.

ETCETERA • The little things are the big things. This month: tissue boxes so chic a person might develop a cold.

THE OTHER SIDE OF BORING • In her new column, Rita Konig tackles modern design dilemmas, both practical and philosophical. Up next: the fiery and ongoing debate between overstatement and restraint.

JEWELRY HOUSE

ARCHITECTURE OF TIME

WHAT WOULD JUDD DO? • The ravages of fire, sandblasting, and time did not destroy the late artist’s office, which has finally opened to the public after a painstaking restoration.

GOING DOWN • Elevators were once jewels of design, ornately carved and conceived mini-apartments, up to the sky and back again. Why have we abandoned this space?

THE FULL PACKAGE • Louis Vuitton launches its first beauty line with a provocative choice: a rock star German industrial designer more heavy metal than hushed hues.

ZENNING OUT • For those looking to escape it all—the clutter, the tasks, those pesky notification pings—this restored villa is worth the 90-minute drive from Tokyo.

LINE BY LINE • Made-to-measure stripes make a statement in any interior, from classic ticking to bold Bengal stripes. This season we’ve reimagined our favorites as a wardrobe’s worth of tops, skirts, and storage boxes. Would you wear this sofa?

END PAPER

If You Can Make It HERE • Ambition meets reality in New York for designer Jean-Louis Deniot and his clients, who entrusted him with a double-wide townhouse, completed as he unveils his Waldorf Astoria renovations.

FIT for a DUCHESS • When Miles Redd and David Kaihoi come calling in Rochester, New York, the results are anything but mild-mannered. Simon Doonan engages them on those Windsors—Edward and Wallis—the color red, and the answer to the question, Do you want to live in ugly? Well, no…

WHERE PIET MET CALDER • The legendary Dutch garden designer Piet Oudolf lets his plantings speak for him. As the Calder Gardens opens in Philadelphia, he gives a rare interview.

TO SHOP… PERCHANCE TO DREAM? • A new Peter Marino–designed Dior flagship predicts the future in store.

THIS IS IRELAND • You might associate Dublin more with green rolling hills than emerald stone staircases, but that’s only because you haven’t met Róisín Lafferty yet. The designer and gallerist is reimagining her country’s design scene one daring move at a time.

THE HOUSE OF YES • A Tudor Revival in San Francisco gets a kaleidoscopic remake from maximalism’s reigning queen, Summer Thornton—with nods to Gustav Klimt, English gardens, and Jerry Garcia.

SOURCEBOOK • Tradition takes a dramatic turn in Elle Decor A-List designer Summer Thornton’s Presidio Heights, California, project (page 98). Here’s how to furnish the fantasy.
