Home tour inside: A modern nest in the woods. | TIMELESS ICONS | | What makes an icon? The ability to withstand the test of time. These noteworthy designs come from every era (from the 1920s through today), but have everlasting status as classics of modern‑day living. | | Plus, some are on sale now during The Semi-Annual Design Event. | | | | | | Icons Throughout The Decades | | | How would you describe the overall style of the Whittington House? I don't like labels, so I will keep it general. I would describe the Whittington House as inviting, contemporary design. If we have to be specific, it is the combined style of the family and myself coming together for a clean, clear and cohesive design aesthetic. | | | | | What was the most important thing for the clients in the home design? Two things, and they are the source of the programming of the house: Public and private space. Private space that gave time for introspection for each son and the parents. And the public, entertaining spaces for the family to come together and entertain their friends. It was important to intersect these and then expand the public space to be taller and have more volume, so the congregations of family and guests would fill the space in nicely. | | | | | The final interior design is sophisticated, yet comfortable and family-friendly. Was this your intention? Yes, that was our intention. The clients have very busy lives; additional clutter and decoration is not their thing, nor do they need it. We wanted the space to be about the people and not the decor. Finishes, colors, and such were chosen to be timeless, modern and understated. With significant input from the client, we intentionally chose to keep the interior monochromatic and understated, so their lives, things and experiences would be the art/creativity/context. So in a sense, my work was to create a subtle backdrop for their lives, and they happily fill in the rest. | | | | | Walk us through your process in choosing furniture, lighting, artwork, etc. to achieve such a feeling. The lighting and furniture pieces we did choose to reflect an appreciation for quality and craftsmanship. When working on projects like this, I confer with my Trade Account Manager and see what he thinks. He and the rest of the Lumens team are a great resource for lighting. The clients and I concentrated on finding contemporary pieces that were timeless for them and their aesthetic. | | | | | MODERN ICON SALE Save up to 20% on iconic lighting, furniture and home décor designs. | | | | | The Semi-Annual
