Las columnas y los pilares de carga son uno de los elementos arquitectónicos más comunes –y también más odiados– de los hogares. Todo el mundo se ha encontrado con uno cuando quería tirar un tabique para ampliar la cocina o darle espacio al salón.

The big design news this month is that Restoration Hardware (now named RH) is once more reinventing itself—with a dramatic new Boston gallery, surprising new catalogs, and an alluring and international collection of new products. Come and take a look. I’ve selected highlights and some of my favorites. This Spring offering is a compelling new product line-up, with a new way of seeing interiors. I think you’ll find many must-have pieces—whatever your style, your location, your budget. New are handsome plaster busts of Greek goddesses, one-of-a-kind crystals and geodes, strange and compelling architectural maquettes, along with new outdoor furniture, tableware that arouses the appetite, light-as-air wine glasses, oddities, and madly curious objects. RH speeds into the future—and pulls us along. Just when you thought you knew Restoration Hardware, along comes a brace of seductive new catalogs. And I’ll let you into some RH secrets. Over the weekend, I received an invitation from MoMA and MoMA PS1 to a special celebration for the US premiere of 'Rain Room' by Random International, It's the much-talked-about art installation, with ‘rain’ that seems to respond to human presence. Everyone in New York is talking about it. The art is fascinating, but of special interest to design and art fans is that the event is in honor of Gary Friedman and Carlos Alberini, heads of Restoration Hardware, which now owns this important art installation. The secret is that RH is embarking on several new ventures, including offering fine art, opening a Chelsea gallery. Watch for the opening in September. There might even be an RH hotel in the planning stages. I’ve viewed plans and I’m looking forward to hearing more. RH is also signing up musical artists, I’m told by someone close to the company. RH exclusive musical offerings are in the planning stage. Look also for specialty foods, a wine bar, potentially a restaurant or two. A New York gallery, when the right location becomes apparent. It’s all very exciting. It’s impressive to see a design firm expanding far beyond sofas, garden furniture, Italian sheets, and Belgian-linen upholstered chairs. Gary Friedman is leading the charge.

Curious and Curiouser: Objects of Style Every room needs an unexpected punch, a kick in the pants—a personal collection, a flea-market find or two, old books, a family heirloom or three, an over-scale piece—and the new RH catalog of ‘curiosities’ is a superb offering of quick-witted delights. It’s also an international treasure trove—with original and reproduced selections of handsome plaster horse heads and gestural hands, and enough branch ‘coral’ and botanical artistry to fill an avid collector’s shelves. A grouping of white plaster busts—Ariadne, and Artemis (Diana) and a Greek goddess or two—would give a library or study or living room mantel instant distinction. Love these. There are architectural adornments, fantastic architectural maquettes (like the ones Axel Vervoordt collects), as well as dramatic French clocks. Natural horn frames are understated. I love especially the antiqued mirror frames (incredibly chic homage to old Venetian mirror frames), and the series of 19th-century cartographic prints (extremely fine reproductions). Framed botanicals (like the ones we used to find in Paris flea markets) will convince even the pickiest collector. And for animal lovers, the series of hand-carved wood big game trophies are dramatic and very deer-friendly. Antique collectors Mark Sage and Rudi Nijssen (Antwerp) are masters of the art of reimagining one-of-a-kind objects. Yes, fine reproductions. Particularly well done. For RH, they discovered a rare and unusual German 1920s-era Light Bulb Voltage Tester that they reconceived as a bar for wine and spirits. The duo’s unique items also include grandly-scaled wood architectural maquettes and an intriguing array of French glass cloches showcasing eclectic finds such as chemistry tubes-turned-light sculptures. Yikes, these alone will save you an early morning trek to the Antwerp street fairs and vintage shops. I love this quirky and eccentric look. But it’s not all vintage-inspired. Ceramicist Sara Paloma (Emeryville, California) creates tall bottle forms with glazes and a neutral palette inspired by walks on the beach. Paloma’s study in form and texture make her stoneware vessels and nesting bowls organically dynamic and evocative. They're an ideal contrast to all the timeworn antiquity. I thought I was rather tired of decorative coral, but for the Objects of Curiosity collection, artisan and collector Caroline Davoy (Coufouleux, France) has created a collection of meticulous sea life replicas that bring the category to life. I admire her South Seas coral specimens, sustainably harvested and stained sea fans (quite lovely) and towering, reclaimed wood oyster Branches. They bring graceful and lithe energy to an interior. Tick-Tock I love the selections of copies of large-scale old clocks. Curators Mark Dvorak and Gary Spain (San Francisco) searched the world for crusty old industrial and shop clocks. They’re the kind of characters you always want to find at Clignancourt, but Spain and Dvorak found them first. There’s a five-foot tall French tower clock, and clocks that look as if they originally chimed the hour in a Bavarian railway station waiting room. All evoke their original purpose and place. Opening and Re-Inventing in Boston Last month, RH opened The Gallery in the historic former Museum of Natural History at 234 Berkeley Street in Boston. The 40,000-square-foot landmark, designed in 1862 by architect William G. Preston, was only the second building to be erected in Boston's famous Back Bay. The neoclassical building’s exterior and interior were restored by stripping back decades of structural modifications, auxiliary mezzanine levels, and pedestrian elevators added willy-nilly during its history. The space has been reimagined (thanks to California architect James Gillam) consistent with its original vision as a museum. A pavilion of glass and steel designed by Gillam, in harmonious accord with the building’s neoclassical facade, creates a dramatic new entrance on Newbury Street. The new gallery building, most recently the admired Louis of Boston store, and its park-like setting, are framed by Berkeley, Boylston and Newbury Streets The re-opened central atrium centers on a reinterpretation of an 1892 traction and counterweight elevator inspired by the iconic model in downtown Los Angeles’ Bradbury Building. Soaring three floors, the steel-caged glass cab highlights the interior’s new unobstructed vertical openness and dramatic interior architecture. The Gallery’s interior lighting was created by designer and artist, Bentley Meeker, who has designed events for MoMA, the Guggenheim, and New York's Natural History Museum. He has exhibited at the Whitney. The building’s luminescent exterior lighting was created by award-winning lighting designer Ross De Alessi, who specializes in illuminating historical monuments, including The Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. The landscape has been restored and preserves the original flowering magnolia trees, and with new brick paths and an outdoor sculpture garden. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: The restored original vaulted and iridescent gold-coffered ceiling, which adds low-key luster in contrast with the subdued tones of upholstered furniture and accessories. The reinterpretation of an 1892 traction and counterweight elevator has opened up the interior to give a sense of spatial lightness. Boston also houses the first Ma(i)sonry Napa Valley Wine Bar. The concept was founded originally in Yountville California, by vintner Michael Polenske, and features Blackbird wines and Polenske’s curated decorative objects. There are four Clubrooms, including the billiards room, complete with a refurbished vintage Brunswick table, open for play. The Music Room, a tribute to the days of vinyl, rock ‘n’ roll and Motown, is also home to a 100-year-old beer bar salvaged from a local Boston pub. The Library is filled with design and architecture books for reference and inspiration. Bookworms can hang out here, away from RH fans testing chairs and bouncing on beds. The Cinema celebrates the art of film. The RH Baby & Child design showroom, well-known in Houston, Los Angeles and San Francisco, makes it first appearance on the East Coast. Also in the Gallery is a floral boutique, as well as a salon/studio for personal consultations and RH interior design services Simple Elegance for the Table I’m especially impressed with the new tableware collection, with fine craftsmanship by master artisans, glassblowers, woodworkers and metalsmiths from around the world. The RH dinnerware collection features a palette of four translucent colored glazes, in addition to white. Available in three shapes—round, square and coupe—each piece is hand-dipped and kiln-fired at extremely high temperatures of 1300° C. Yikes, that makes it tough. Organic variations in color are unique to each piece. Lovely. RH’s English silverplate collections—classic English Fiddlehead and Classic English Baguette—are crafted in Sheffield, England. These reproductions of historic patterns are weighted for the perfect balance and plated to a superior 10-micron thickness. Exceptionally durable, each collection is available in three finishes—brushed, polished and rumbled. The 1920s Titanic collection reproduces the vintage reed-and-shield pattern used in dining rooms aboard the luxury liner RMS Titanic in 1912. Stainless flatware is also offered in polished, brushed or blackened finishes. This oxidized finish looks incredibly new and chic. Reminiscent of rustic ironwork, the Hammered Steel Rivet Collection, created by San Francisco metalsmith Jefferson Mack, is hand-forged from stainless steel with a contrasting pounded brass rivet. Very Jefferson. The complete flatware assortment also includes collections defined by organic materials such as horn and bone. RH glassware features elegant crystal stemware collections by Riedel, the German family-owned company that has set the standard of quality and innovation in glassware for more than 250 years. For the bar, finely faceted crystal glassware and decanters from the Boulevard collection are mouthblown and cut and polished by glass artisans in Slovenia. RH features Belgian linen and cotton table linens. The Stonewashed Belgian linen hemstitch collection is woven from traditional Belgian flax, accented with simple hemstitching, in twenty colors.

A pesar de ser la segunda residencia de una familia, podría servir –perfectamente– para vivir todo el año.
Hoy por hoy, miles de personas en toda Europa -por no decir millones- no sabrían cómo amueblar su casa a buen precio y sin renunciar al diseño si no existiera Ikea. Es cierto que muchas piezas, con tan solo verlas, sabes que son “made in Ikea” y eso puede incluso llegar a aborrecer. Pero también es verdad que todo depende de cómo lo pongas, dónde y acompañado de qué. No le podemos quitar mérito a la marca, sino más bien preguntarnos de qué manera podemos hacer que ese mueble quede tan bien integrado en la decoración de nuestro hogar que no se sepa de dónde es. ¡No te pierdas estos ejemplos!

"White...is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black...God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white." ~G. K. Chesterton I happened upon the most beautiful blog the other day. I spent half an hour just perusing through hundreds of serene and elegant pictures all featuring white. The blog is called Maisons Blanches and it is definitely worth a few quiet moments spent scrolling through the seemingly endless pages of beautiful photos. I don't know how it's creator found so many white photos! She also has a wonderful second blog called Colour Your World which is, as the title suggests, brimming with colors! Here is a small sampling of Maisons Blanche - you will definitely want to have a look for yourself though. I have probably just ensured that a great many of you will spend at least a few hours on the computer! Have fun!
