Fashionable Fix
A spirited take on the classics, BURNHAM DESIGN’s debut collection, Wardrobe, takes its name from the tailoring of fabrics found in Betsy Burnham’s own closet—denim, twill, linen, heather grey wool and chambray. We’re partial to the midcenturyinspired Golightly chair, though we also love that each piece is handcrafted in her home state of California and named for characters in her favorite films. wardrobebyburnhamdesign.com
Curve Appeal
Understated elegance forms the foundation of celebrated Los Angeles designer MADELINE STUART’s design ethos, so it’s little surprise that the freshest debut from her eponymous furniture and lighting collection is the chic and streamlined Wilson swivel chair. A contemporary classic with a continuous, curved base in rift oak highlighted by nailhead trim, ultimately its strength lies in its subtle complexity. Available to the
trade through Jerry Pair, ADAC, (404) 261-6337; jerrypair.com

ESIGNER TERI DUFFY’S LONGTIME appreciation for Asian antiques piqued when she saw the collection of rare and exquisite pieces scattered throughout her client’s Sandy Springs bungalow. She couldn’t believe her luck, because stacked in his living room was a complete set of 10 door panels carved with floral motifs that convey meanings such as longevity and good fortune. Duffy’s vision for a contemporary, Asianinfluenced bungalow evolved from those 10-foottall panels and other antiques in his collection, some of which are 1,000 years old. She unfolded the screens, believed to be from the 18th century, and gave them the prominence they deserved by stretching them out in front of the windows. “The screens alone just really captured my emotions,” says Duffy, owner of T. Duffy & Associates. “We painted a clean palette so that all of these very rich antiques would step forward visually.”

Throughout the bungalow, which also boasts an Asian-influenced garden, she consciously edited the 18th-century furniture and paintings from the Ming dynasty that homeowner David Markovich researched and purchased while on business in China for two years. Duffy selected each piece with a purpose—and to make a statement. In the living room, the 8-foot-high ceilings were raised to 12 feet to accommodate the spectacular screens. White walls reinvigorate the once-dark room to focus attention on the screens, painted beams, wood details and carved Chinese furniture. New Noir burlap chairs, a linen sofa and silk lavender pillows provide a neutral backdrop for the scaled-down compilation of Asian antiques. This marriage of antiques and modern elements continues throughout the bungalow. “All of this was his collection,” Duffy says. “I just took it a step further, so that it would show up and give it a more fresh, contemporary blend.”

WHEN IT COMES TO ATLANTA’S HIGHRISE REAL ESTATE, very few residential properties boast the kind of square footage—nor the 360-degree views—afforded by the full-floor residences at the Mandarin Oriental, Atlanta. Freshly built-out by architect Robert Tretsch of Harrison Design, this particular four-bedroom condominium, measuring more than 5,000 square feet (not counting a pair of terraces), was snapped up

by interior designer Barbara Westbrook’s ultra-discerning clients as a chic, cosmopolitan home-away-from-home for a vibrant family with three young adult sons. After falling for Westbrook’s timelessly tailored, subtle glamour—brought to life in the form of a decorated model unit on site—the wife interviewed (and promptly hired) the designer by phone to oversee the build-out and design of this sweeping Buckhead residence. An artist in her own right, the wife, who has worked with a celebrated West Coast designer on previous residences, holds a genuine appreciation for craftsmanship and artisanship. “She understands that craft, whether you’re an interior designer or a painter, is how you make a living,” says Westbrook. “It’s not just a passion, but a livelihood, and we really honed in on that.” To further foster that sense of respect, the wife looked to engage both Atlanta and Southern artists to enliven their lofty space, procuring a significant collection of sketches, silver-gelatin prints, photographs and sculpture from Radcliffe Bailey, Angela West, Brian Coleman, Todd Murphy, Maren Kloppman, Jack Spencer and the Moulthrop family, to name a few.

Because the breakfast room is open to the kitchen, Broaddus commissioned a waterfall-edge table from Miami Circle Marble to match the island. The painting by Lynn Raney was one of the many new pieces of art she helped the young homeowners secure to begin their art collection. The pair of selenite chandeliers are by Ron Dier through Jerry Pair, and the new steel window is by Forge Fine Steel.
