Christopher Guy Harrison for C.A.I Designs: Refined Repose. This boudoir features an ensemble of dark woods, sinuous lines and seductive curves that clarify and define glamour. This gracious space offers a sense of tranquility all the while embodying elegance and sumptuous luxury. The complexity of design influences is evidenced in all aspects of the furnishings rendering an atmosphere that is neither feminine nor masculine. The French-inspired slipper chair’s graceful lines, combined with the dressmaker’s button-tufted headboard and the lady’s dressing table imbue the room with a woman’s sophistication; yet there is no frilliness due to the Neoclassic and Art Deco influences of their counterpart pieces crafted in rich mahogany.

Randall Loren Phelan for Donghia, Inc.: Tailored Luxury. Drawing inspiration from the design legacy and philosophy of Angelo Donghia, Randall Loren Phelan has created an interior of sophisticated elegance. Angelo Donghia was best known for being able to combine comfort with an urbane sense of luxury in his interiors. This room reflects Donghia’s love for tailored interiors with careful attention to detail on the upholstered chairs, drapery and wallcoverings. The use of gray flannel is an Angelo Donghia signature that he used in some of his most refined settings, from his own personal offices to those of Ralph Lauren’s.

Michelle Thomas for George Smith: The George Smith Common Room. There is very little “common” about the George Smith Common Room except the fact that it’s sole function is to provide a temporary retreat for anyone and everyone from the hustle and bustle of life in The Merchandise Mart. The room will be stocked daily with national and international newspapers for people to pause for a moment and relax. It is furnished with George Smith handmade furniture and fabric, which is of the highest quality in both design and craftsmanship.

Lynn Wright for Henredon Interior Design Showroom: Fresh Traditions. Traditional, timeless elements are combined in a fresh, modern cohesiveness. The space evokes a sense of soothing tranquility, as well as a sensory excitement. A color palette of surf and sepia are calming and quietly sophisticated. The tactile elements of the smooth limestone combined with the woven texture of the sisal provide the perfect backdrop for contemporary silhouettes dressed in a traditional manner. French and Asian influences give a nod to history, while at the same time feeling new. It is a fusion of styles creating a global mix.

Holly Hunt for Holly Hunt: Modern Marrakesh. A decadent indulgence for the senses, Holly Hunt’s Modern Marrakesh DreamRoom weaves lighting and vibrant color into a luxurious outdoor experience. Drawing inspiration from a square of dancers and storytellers tucked away in an African mountainside, Modern Marrakesh blends the supple elements of teak, silk, glass, and rope, to enliven a lush and spirited outdoor atmosphere.

Emily Ursini for Interior Crafts: The Foyer. This space is about texture and movement of each piece. The visual excitement of hundreds of amorphic hand-blown shapes canopy the room creating a diffused light that shimmers down upon a starburst Macassar Ebony tripod center table. A classic cream marble floor is enlivened by the addition of sparkling glass mosaic stripes. In the same way that a peacock calls out for attention by flashing its feathers, so does the iridescent blue/green pleated fabric walls. Flanking the doorway is a pair of silver metal leaf trimmed display cabinets that complete the space and leave one remembering a room with both visual excitement and quiet drama.

Susan Fredman Design Group for Kravet: Green with Envy. The “sitting room” is being used to showcase Kravet’s new and innovative green design solutions and illustrate to the public that green design can truly be beautiful. The vignette has contemporary lines, juxtaposed with soft, sexy accents. The room consists of two seating areas defined by sisal rugs, which create order in the space. A dark moody sexiness is fashioned through the use of a dual and tight color palette. The artwork adds a finishing touch to the space and was commissioned with contemporary artist, Teri Tito. All fabrics, rugs and furniture have a green rating as well as the wall covering and low VOC paint.

John Stark and Steven Stark for Stark: Stark Salon. Inspired by the glamour of the ‘30s and ‘40s, designer Geoffrey Bradfield revitalized this sophisticated look with a collection of rugs, fabrics and furniture pieces for Stark. This retro “Prohibition Era” style, inspired by the jazz clubs and cabarets of the period, is interpreted by the Stark Design Team. The setting features Geoffrey Bradfield’s GB Ottoman and GB Chair and Stark Furniture’s Mid-century Sectional on a rich Tibetan rug from the Geoffrey Bradfield Collection.
