interiors magazine

Design editors are an inquisitive breed, and we often seek out designers in their work spaces, poke around their design studios and try to witness first-hand how they produce their remarkable wares. Our Studio department, which debuts in this issue, is designed to bring some of that behind-the-scenes experience to our readers, and to illuminate more about the perspectives, strategies and creative processes of the world’s top design talents. For our first Studio piece, we asked Tim Street-Porter to photograph Los Angeles designer Kerry Joyce’s pristine new space, a remodeled industrial warehouse that now serves as his headquarters and design laboratory.

This issue also highlights some exciting talent in the design world. Ken Fulk has been lighting up San Francisco lately, and the Presidio Heights project we feature has all of his hallmarks: edgy contemporary art, surprising juxtapositions and a certain wicked humor. In Paris, the ultrachic Sarah Lavoine is the talk of the town, known for her seemingly offhand yet superbly detailed spaces. Two designers from Washington, D.C., remind us that there’s more going on in our nation’s capital than political infighting. Nestor Santa-Cruz improvises on twentieth century design motifs for a sophisticated house in Potomac, Maryland, while Lori Graham brings a fresh American style to a family residence in Great Falls, Virginia. And for a thrilling dash of the exotic, Bill Bensley reimagines colonial themes in the luxurious Siam Hotel in Bangkok.

Art is always a central interest at interiors, and our Exposition department highlights the work of Jung Lee,
one of South Korea’s new wave of contemporary artists. Her haunting large-scale photographs have both
conceptual richness and visual allure. Not a bad combination for any endeavor.

INTERIORS will be out and about this spring, celebrating the new design season with a variety of
stimulating events in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and elsewhere (for details visit us at
Facebook.com/interiorsmagazine, interiorsdigital.com and interiorsmagazine.net). Hope to see
you at one of these many venues!
