With Sarah Magness, we designed a “Mindfulness Retreat” for the 2020 Palm Beach Kips Bay Decorator Show House. We remade the loft study overlooking a living room by Suzanne Kastler, to surround visitors with a gentle evocation of the senses, fusing the timelessness of antique Japanese furniture, sculpture, and decorative objects with a clean, transitional architecture. Subtle blues, greens and silvers weave through the architecture and decorating. Painted and natural wood beams frame Japanese plaster walls and a handpainted ‘Koi Pond’ wallpaper ceiling. A meditation bed sits at the center — a place to ease the tension of public daily life with peaceful reflection.
