Beautiful People of the Caf\u00e9 Society: Scrapbooks by the Baron de Cabrol is another treasured title \u2014 it captures a world of glamour and style that continue to inspire. And while Swedish Grace by Gunnela Ivanov isn\u2019t vintage, it channels the elegance of that era beautifully and is something I often reference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Must-tour gardens or historic homes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Parham House in Sussex, Rousham in Oxfordshire, Villa K\u00e9rylos on the French Riviera, Charleston in East Sussex, the Doria Pamphilj in Rome, and Museo Fortuny in Venice, each with its own story and atmosphere, endlessly inspiring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite design or antiques shops. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For antiques, Petworth is a perennial favorite for its variety and quality, while Brownrigg in Tetbury is a treasure trove. In New York, Gerald Bland has a wonderful eclecticism, and in Paris, A la M\u00e8re de Famille in Montmartre is always worth a visit. And of course,\u00a0And Objects\u00a0in London is a place close to my heart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you collect.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Murano vegetables and fruits, which I pick up whenever I visit Rigattieri in Venice. I also have a collection of Choisy-le-Roi ceramics and pewter plates, which I\u2019ve hung on the kitchen walls at my country house. They each carry a mix of charm and history that I find hard to resist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Home scent.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In summer, the scent of fresh vine tomatoes from the garden. In winter, the coolness of just-picked black currants. And my favorite for the festive season is our\u00a0And Objects\u00a0red Murano candle, scented with winter berries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Next for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be launching my first book in October with Rizzoli, followed by a collaboration early next year with a brand I\u2019ve long admired. There are also some beautiful projects opening over the next two years that I\u2019m looking forward to seeing come to life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Martin Brudnizki salon talk and book signing at David Sutherland Showroom, moderated by Architectural Digest Global Editorial Director, Amy Astley, Thursday, November 6, 10 am \u2013 noon.

It\u00a0wonderfully captures\u00a0some of his most beautiful projects. For anyone interested in interiors and craftsmanship, I cannot recommend it more.\u00a0For\u00a0creative\u00a0inspiration,\u00a0I invariably turn to\u00a0David Hicks:\u00a0A Life of Design\u00a0and\u00a0David Hicks on Living with Taste, both of which never fail to energize my creative instincts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Must-tour gardens or historic homes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yves Saint Laurent\u2019s home in Marrakech, Villa Oasis, is a must-visit for both its interiors and garden, Jardin Majorelle. Meticulously layered, the home\u00a0and gardens are the stunning collaborative result of an unrivalled team of creative minds. YSL worked with\u00a0French Orientalist painter and plant collector Jacques Majorelle; collector and philanthropist Pierre Berg\u00e9; decorator Jacques Grange; architect Bill Willis; and American garden designer Madison Cox. You\u00a0simply\u00a0don\u2019t know where to look first.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite design or antiques shops. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dimorestudio is always inspiring. Britt [Moran] and Emiliano [Salci] have an absolutely incredible vision\u00a0and impeccable taste.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you collect.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What don\u2019t I collect would be a better question! I love picking up vintage furniture and decor \u2014 we curate a selection at Cabana, too. The mix of these pieces with more contemporary items lends a home\u00a0a certain\u00a0timeless appeal\u00a0with just a hint of intrigue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Home scent.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our\u00a0own\u00a0Cabana Tuberose scent is what\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0currently using\u00a0at my home in Milan. Fittingly, the scent is a tribute to Renzo Mongiardino\u2019s layered interiors. Warm and subtly spiced, it\u2019s a rich scent perfect for the colder months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Next for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are delighted to have just launched Cabana Home Fragrances with four very distinct scents: Tuberose, Gardenia, Fig, and Amber. Each evokes\u00a0the spirit of a place, a memory, and a mood and conjures the spaces captured in the pages of Cabana Magazine.\u00a0 In essence,\u00a0we wanted to find another way\u00a0of bringing our world to life, to imbue an interior with a scent which transports and inspires in the way the magazine does. It\u2019s a project we have worked on for some time, and I\u2019m delighted with the result. It really captures what we set out to do.\u00a0 We\u2019re already working on expanding the range. We\u2019ve also launched our A\/W Terracotta Collection, which is an ode to Italy,\u00a0its distinctive\u00a0color palette and\u00a0the\u00a0material inherent\u00a0to\u00a0the country\u00a0\u2014it\u2019s a\u00a0truly\u00a0special collection, with\u00a0each piece\u00a0handcrafted by artisans from\u00a0different regions of\u00a0the country.

They\u2019re such a beautiful snapshot into a certain period and are filled with eclectic details \u2014 I\u2019m always inspired. Of course, Villa Necchi Campiglio is a must, as is Villa Boschi di Stefano, but my favorite one is just outside of Milan \u2014 Villa Borsani. The mosaic floors, the light, that staircase! We also held a private tour for our Sisterhood community last fall at Casa Mollino in Turin as part of our Magical Mystery Tour of the city \u2014 it\u2019s this incredible villa that houses fantastical designs and symbolic creations of the architect and creative Carlo Mollino (one of the most brilliant minds of the Italian century). It was extraordinary. The Sacro Bosco in Lazio is amazing \u2014 it\u2019s like a forest populated by 16th-century grotesque sculptures that feel like they\u2019re a part of the landscape. It inspired our Fantastic Creatures homeware collection that\u2019s dropping in October.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite design or antiques shops. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I love this tiny little jewel of a shop on the Naviglio near our HQ that\u2019s called Naviglio Inn \u2014 it\u2019s filled from floor to ceiling with incredible vintage lamps, many of which are in classic colored Murano glass (my favorite). When I can, I try to find time to go down to Parma in the spring for the Mercanteinfiera trade show. You can find the most incredible collectibles and furnishings there \u2014 but you have to be ready to bargain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you collect.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always been an avid collector of vintage clothing and jewelry. It\u2019s how I started La DoubleJ, by selling my collection online and writing articles on the incredible creative women of Milan. In my bathroom, one wall is devoted to vintage jewelry, a lot of which inspired our new line of La DoubleJ jewels, which are designed specifically to elevate one\u2019s energies with precious stones and sacred symbols. As for furniture, I have an incredible vintage burgundy Poliform kitchen set that my friend Raimondo Garau found for me. He has the most beautifully curated collection of vintage and modern furniture at his boutique in Milan. My entire home is filled with pieces from different eras, origins, high end, low end.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Next for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re opening our store in New York in December, but before that, we\u2019re launching La DoubleJ in Dallas Thursday, October 16! I am so, so excited. It\u2019s going to be a true Raise Your Vibration station, and we\u2019re planning incredible Sisterhood moments and experiences for the grand opening.

The estate was built in the early 1900s, and when I was restoring my own home nearby, a 1929 Harrie T. Lindeberg property, I found myself thinking a lot about that era. There is something about the scale, the symmetry, and the way the house relates to the landscape that still feels relevant. Touring Old Westbury gives you a full view of the architecture and the lifestyle, which is something I try to bring into my own work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite design or antiques shops. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>K\u00f6nig Gustav Antiques &amp; Interiors near Hamburg is a favorite. I also like Tat London for its character and unexpected finds, and Beall &amp; Bell on the North Fork has been a longtime go-to. My Shelter Island home was full of pieces from there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What you collect.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always been drawn to vintage photography.

We use books daily to explore and test ideas, to be inspired, and to help us relate appropriately to the differing regions in the world to which our clients take us. While we have many copies one would expect in our library \u2014 Palladio, Adam, Soane, Lutyens, as well as the American greats McKim, Mead &amp; White; Goodhue; Platt; Mellor, Meigs &amp; Howe; and, of course, our own John Staub \u2014 we also are not limited to architecture. Books on gardens and decoration fill our shelves, but more curious texts are also useful: gentlemen\u2019s clubs of London, stables and kennels, golf-club structures, and small Italian farmhouses. More recently, watercolor has become a pursuit, and books and catalogs on painting have influenced value, color, and composition in my work. One can find support and inspiration through an interest in books, and it\u2019s one of our tools and passions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Russell Windam:<\/strong> We have an original set of McKim, Mead &amp; White, of course. The set on Lutyens\u2019 work, Percier and Fontaine\u2019s original set, John Staub (How could we not have that book), John Russell Pope, and the list goes on. This question is like who to thank if one were to win an Oscar. The list is too long!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Must-tour gardens or historic home.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>BC: <\/strong>Recently, I made an effort to visit the great sculpture garden landscape of Storm King Art Center in Upstate NY \u2014 a great creation for many reasons, but The Wave Field by Maya Lin is a phenomenal vision and beautiful execution of ocean-like waves of earth and grass.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RW:<\/strong> To do what we do, one must have visited as many of Lutyens\u2019 works as possible, where the gardens were designed by Gertrude Jekyll.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite design or antiques shops. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>BC<\/strong>: Pimlico Road, with many of the great English design shops.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RW:<\/strong> Jamb is a great one now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Home scent.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>BC:<\/strong> I like the comfort of the smells emanating from the landscape. The desert of Arizona smells its own way, just as the rainforests of North Carolina have their own scent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RW:<\/strong> Jo Malone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Next for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>BC:<\/strong> Our new book, Building on Tradition, is out in September from Rizzoli. We\u2019re traveling to some design events this winter where we\u2019ll have the opportunity to share the work with old and new friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RW:<\/strong> More great work around the country and abroad. We\u2019re doing more diversified work in terms of style and type, and that sort of change is exhilarating. And as Bill said, our new book with Rizzoli coming out this month. These sorts of endeavors are good for the soul and give me new energy moving forward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Curtis &amp; Windham Architects, Classic By Design salon talk and book signing at Fabricut, moderated by Hudson Moore, Frederic Magazine, Monday, November 3, 11 am \u2013 1 pm.
