ARCHITECTURE OF TIME

NECESSARY LUXURIES • The design we need to make our lives and homes work. This month: Faucets take center stage.

MAKING SPACE • From Mallorca to the California desert, artists are collapsing the line between living and making, finding creative freedom in rooms shaped by daily life.

NOGUCHI’S NEW YORK • File under: Now you know. Multi-hyphenate Isamu Noguchi spent much of his life in the Big Apple. A new exhibition brings back one of the coolest cats in town.

GROUND RULES • Elle Decor A-List designer Andre Mellone crafts a rug collection for Nordic Knots.

INTERNATIONAL A-LIST • The leading designers and architects from around the world, as chosen by our 25 editions.

END PAPER • “For 40 years I’ve been collecting textiles—from flea markets in Paris, to souks in Marrakech, to the archives at the Met,” says Alfredo Paredes. Those travels have inspired a new collection for Kravet, Cocuyo, which includes this hand-dyed ikat. To make each piece, artisans pattern the threads before weaving, creating a diffuse motif that speaks to our collective wanderlust.

TALK of the TOWN • Designer Billy Cotton is well schooled in creative dialogue. In his most personal project yet, his own Gramercy Park apartment, he’s continuing the conversation, with memorable results.

The MELLON JOB • When Bunny Mellon decided to build a home on 200 wild Nantucket acres, she hired a young carpenter named Bam La Farge. The two formed an unlikely friendship that brought his family to her home on Antigua. His daughter remembers it all.

THE PICTURE OF TASTE • On New York’s Upper East Side, Belgian architect and designer Nicolas Schuybroek breathes new life into a house with a storied past.

MADE YOU LOOK • Thierry Lemaire may be known for the grand and palatial, but in creating his own refuge, he went for the petite and personal.

The Coast of UTOPIA • In a Los Angeles house with light and views worthy of Ed Ruscha—who once owned it—Mark Cunningham has created a serene family retreat for a fashion executive and her husband.

SOURCEBOOK • In Mark Cunningham’s vision of California modern style (page 84), Regency-flavored finds meet Mission Revival materials, yielding serene, effortless, sun-washed refinement.
