Rollerbladed into my apartment and into my heart. I met
Jonathan Adler in November 1994. A pal set us up on a
blind date, and we have been together ever since. Back then
I, a Brit transplant, was a spiffy suit–wearing retail exec,
designing windows and helping craft the image of Barneys
New York. And Jonathan, a proud New Jersey native, was
a clay-spattered ceramist, a bohemian artisan wedging his
brains out in a shared studio in SoHo.
In the intervening years, much has changed. My knowl-
edge of Yiddish has increased beyond all measure. Jonathan,
for his part, has become a tea-guzzling Anglophile. We are
still in the same Greenwich Village apartment, but in 2001
we doubled our square footage when we acquired the adja-
cent unit. Though he is still clay-spattered, Jonathan has
made a few subtle tweaks to his résumé: We’re talking fur-
niture designer, retail magnate, design icon, hotel visionary,
and interior decorating mega-force.
Last year, we decided it was time to perk up our pad. We
started by playing musical chairs with the available space:
Our old bedroom became my home office, the living room
became our bedroom, my office became the dining room,
and so on. The construction was meshuga. Clutching our
rescue mutt, Foxylady, for succor, I retreated to my new

office, where I watched as Jonathan gesticulated like Her-

bert von Karajan and workmen tore the place apart.
Once the dust settled, Team Adler trooped into our
reconfigured home bearing a cavalcade of newly designed
furniture, pillows, and lamps. Jonathan’s buzzwords were
as follows: bold, glamorous, and memorable. It was about
amping it up, not dialing it back. Our clubby library has a
luminous David Hicks wallpaper on the ceiling and features
a fringed sofa in a decadent Proustian velvet. The new liv-
ing room is filled with a Vans-inspired checkerboard rug
grounding two newly reupholstered Vladimir Kagan settees
in an ivory bouclé. Unexpected juxtapositions were key, as
exemplified by a life-size vintage Italian ceramic poodle—a
nifty gift from Michael Kors—resting on giant Tiffany
boxes, staring hauntingly into a Gothic cheval mirror in the
corner of our revamped dining room.
The greatest hits from a quarter century of hunting
and gathering also found a new life in our spiffed-up pad.
Our frothy mix of iconic vintage trouvées includes a Paul
Evans four-poster bed, a Fornasetti screen, a flea-market
bust of Michael Jackson, and an Ed Paschke portrait of

designs; and a kinky vintage Pirelli calendar designed by
Allen Jones, a Portobello Road find. Further layering was
accomplished with new Adler designs: glam-rock beaded
artworks, cheeky needlepoint pillows, and Surrealist por-
celain vases, some of which sprout ostrich feathers. Jona-
than’s vast and varied oeuvre—he now works in myriad
stylistic idioms—merged seamlessly with our older finds.
How come? The truth is, there are no supporting actors
in our new place. Everything is a star. Everything is there
because we love it.
How did it feel to be a spectator of this transformation?
Watching it come together was astonishing and delightful.
The look Jonathan achieved is glamorous, life-enhancing,
and really rather fabulous, and I can say that because I had
nothing to do with it. As I watched him work, I kvelled with
pride. Here was my potter, throwing every ounce of his cre-
ative chutzpah into the reimagining of our home. Jonathan
had started with an atom and then, 25 years later, kapow!
The big bang!
So what’s it like to live in it? You could be forgiven for
assuming that we, with our giant Lucite pills and our
trippy visuals, live like hedonistic rock stars. Au con-
traire. The truth is, we lead a cozy, down-to-earth exis-

OSENA AND FRED CHAR MOY ARE ALWAYS ENTERTAINING.
For one thing, it’s their job: The couple own and manage
Boutique Souk, an event company in Marrakech that has
planned such star-studded occasions as the model and
actress Poppy Delevingne’s 2014 wedding to James Cook.
But hosting guests and celebrations is also what the couple
love to do. “When the Yves Saint Laurent museum opened,
we must have had almost a dozen people in and out of our
house, having dinner, crashing with us, stopping by,” says
Rosena, who hails from Ireland.
The couple met in Marrakech in the mid-aughts when Fred, origi-
nally from Paris, was overseeing a riad in the medina and Rosena was
starting up Boutique Souk. “We began working and spending late nights
together,” she says. “Finally, we just gave in and got married.”
In 2008, the Charmoys bought and moved into a two-story modern
stone house with a turret in La Palmeraie, an elegant upscale suburb
within a natural, 54-square-mile palm grove. The kitchen was hidden
in the back of the house, which was a problem considering how much
the couple enjoy cooking; Fred is often in the kitchen whipping up
gourmet meals and cocktails. On Sundays, the couple host long, lazy
English roasts for their eclectic crew of friends, many of whom are par-
ticipants in the city’s creative scene. “We never know how many people
will show up for lunch,” Rosena says, laughing.
They spent several years carrying dishes from the tucked-away
kitchen to the dining room at the other end of the house until their friend
Cassandra Karinsky, an Australian textile designer, pointed out the obvi-
ous: “She said that in Australia, the kitchen would be at the front of the
house next to the terrace and the pool,” Rosena recalls. “We were like, Of
course! But that now meant we had to renovate the entire ground floor.”
The couple appealed to their wide circle of creative friends for help.
“There is a really exciting community that is redefining the aesthetic
of Marrakech,” Rosena says. “Whether it’s ceramics or textiles, they are
creating artisanal things with an interesting modern twist.”

are sold in the hotel’s chic boutique. And for the Charmoys’
terrace, Karinsky commissioned a local group of basket
weavers to fashion a set of whimsical but sturdy rattan out-
door furniture she’d designed.
Where the old kitchen was at the back of the house, the
Charmoys created two bedrooms for their continuous
stream of houseguests. Meanwhile, the top floor was turned
into a master suite, with a terrace and a large dressing room
filled with Rosena’s party gowns. “It’s almost like a separate
apartment,” she says. “I just love the view from our bed of
the palm trees.”
When the renovation was finally complete, the couple
marked the occasion—naturally—with a big party that coin-
cided with Rosena’s birthday. “A whole load of friends flew
to town,” she says. “We cooked a massive paella, and Fred
made some amazing turmeric-and-ginger margaritas.” And

HE DESIGNER ALESSANDR A BR ANCA, WHO HAS JUST

completed the first of four seasonal fabric collections
for de Gournay, chose to start her series in the way that
each year begins: with winter. Her fiery interpretation
gives new life to that lackluster season. It’s a color-shot
fantasy of 18th-century Russia, built out of the intri-
cately embroidered textiles for which Branca is known.
To realize the collection, the designer conducted
deep research into the life of the Prussian-born Cath-
erine the Great (1729–1796), who had an outsize influ-
ence on Russian design. Working with architect Charles Cameron at the
Tsarskoye Selo palace and other sites around St. Petersburg, the empress
“created an architectural iconography that became a standard,” Branca
notes, one that melded Byzantine and neoclassical styles. Catherine left
her stylish imprint on interiors, too, and even costume design.
Branca’s new designs are on display in a private apartment above
de Gournay’s flagship showroom in Paris’s Saint-Germain neighborhood.
The space, which is used for private events and can be visited by appoint-
ment, comprises two formal living rooms. The first, known as the Win-
ter Garden, has a coolish palette. The next one—the Catherine Salon—is
alive with color, an eye-popping array of bright reds and blues.

their résumés or glowing references.
Estee Stanley gets work because of
her Los Angeles house. This is not
to say that she lacks either creden-
tials or a cavalry-strong contingent
ready to attest to her talents. But it is
the casually elegant interiors of the
home where she has lived for the last
14 years in Hancock Park, a historic
residential enclave in the city’s cen-
ter, that usually seal the deal.
Before she became an interior
designer, Stanley spent more than a decade as a fashion styl-
ist, working on music videos for the likes of Britney Spears,
*NSYNC, and the Backstreet Boys and red-carpet looks
for such actresses as Penélope Cruz and Demi Moore. Her
entrée to interiors began with her previous Hancock Park
residence, where she and her then–styling partner Cristina
Ehrlich used a spare bedroom as an office. Clients would
visit for fittings, and one day, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
told Stanley they loved her space and asked if she would
help them decorate their new home. Despite having no pre-
vious decorating experience, she said yes.
Stanley went house hunting with the Olsen twins in Bel
Air, oversaw a full renovation of their home, and spent a
year shopping with them for furniture. The process proved
thrilling. She had become disenchanted with red-carpet
work—“It felt like clothes were just getting thrown on peo-
ple,” she says—and realized that the same trust she had
built styling clients’ wardrobes translated quite literally into
designing their rooms.
“She pushes me to make bold choices that I would never

make on my own,” says actress and singer Lea Michele, who
is one such converted client.
A year after moving into her current space, Stanley
decided to remodel the Mediterranean-style building from
a two-family residence into a single-family home. She lived
there during the gut renovation, and this time, her friend
Ashley Olsen offered to help her.
“We stained a lot of the doors ourselves. Once the house
was done, she and I would schlep sofas up and down the
stairs,” Stanley recalls. “We would sleep here, and there
would be no doors in the house. It was crazy.”
Her home has morphed since then—for one thing, she
was single when she first designed it, and she now shares
the space with her producer husband, Bryan Furst, and their
kids, Teddy, 10, and Flora, 7. About a year ago, she gave it a
face-lift, installing new moldings and a fireplace and refresh-
ing some of the furniture. The house now has an easy polish
befitting its unfussy owner. Off the vestibule, a cozy smok-
ing room (“I know plenty of people who smoke, and this is
where they can do it,” she says) has a gallery wall, vintage
leather wingback chairs, and a black marble cocktail table
topped with Hermès ashtrays and glassware from Gearys in
Beverly Hills. A floral painting by Elisa Johns anchors the

guest bedroom has been transformed into a walk-in closet
wrapped in walnut and maple tones with a pop of blue from
an Andy Warhol cocktail table. Both rooms are favorite
places to hang out when Stanley throws a dinner party or
hosts game night, as she tends to do at least twice a month.
She loves entertaining—a few years ago, she hosted 150 peo-
ple for an engagement party for her clients and friends Jus-
tin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, covering her pool for the
occasion and turning it into a dance floor.
“Everyone knows this house is a fun place. They’re never
going to be starving, and there’s always alcohol and at least
10 people here. I really like to mix crowds,” says Stanley,
who grew up south of here in Newport Beach. “Los Angeles
is such a weird town. It’s not easy to make great friends. I
think it’s nice for everybody to be friends with one another.”
That instinct for connecting others is the basis of her new
business, the Eye, a Hollywood-style management agency
for designers and architects, with partner Joanna August.
She envisions the company as a middleman, taking care of
negotiations and brand building so designers can focus on
creating. The idea is to give those working in interiors an
added legitimacy in an Instagram and Pinterest world.
“People need to understand that hiring an interior
designer is a luxury item. If you know that going in, there
can be a sense of mutual respect,” says Stanley, who has a
book coming out with Rizzoli in the fall. “Everything you
look at every day was designed by someone.” ◾

O N A S W E LT E R I N G M O N DAY M O R N I N G I N
October, I’m braving the roundabouts of New
Delhi in a Mahindra Scorpio SUV en route to
visit my friend, the designer Michael Aram,
at his apartment in Lutyens’ Delhi, a neigh-
borhood named after its British architect, Sir
Edwin Lutyens. Constructed between 1912
and 1930, the Lutyens Bungalow Zone, or LBZ,
contains nearly 1,000 white bungalows, each
resplendent with lush lawns, on its wide streets.
At one time, some of India’s most powerful
people, such as the prime minister and cabinet
members, resided here. More recently, the bun-
galows have come under fire by groups who find
them ghostly relics of a Colonial past and wish
to see them replaced with more affordable high-
rise housing. Whichever side you fall on in that
argument, there is no denying the LBZ’s con-
tinuing appeal: Prices for recently sold houses

from his signature ginkgo-leaf centerpieces to a

wisdom-tree sculpture (he’s even made pieces
for Pope Francis). It’s where the magic happens.
“We had some dedicated factories here and
there,” he says. “I grew my business like my
grandfather would have. We own everything
we need. I own our warehouse, the retail stores
in New York City and Los Angeles. I own the
work at the factory.”
To unwind, Aram drives two hours south to
a small village where he also owns a gorgeous
haveli, a place for respite and reflection. “It’s
over three centuries old,” he says during a stroll
on the hilly grounds. “According to village his-
tory, the site was first inhabited 600 years ago.”
The property was previously owned by descen-
dants of the inhabitants of the old village, who
now live in the village below, and who pay us
a visit around sunset. Their exquisite saris are
a foil to Aram’s gleaming metal sculptures dis-
played throughout the property.
Over masala chai, the talk turns to Alexander
Calder, an artist Aram has admired his entire
career. “Calder said he was going to do what-
ever he wanted,” Aram says. “He’s making door
latches for his kitchen, toilet-paper holders for
his bathroom, carpets for his living room, beds.
I just want to make things. I just want to keep
having fun, you know?” ◾

A ONE-OF-A-KIND MADELINE WEINRIB RUG IS INSPIRED
BY THE INTRICACY OF MOROCCAN TILEWORK.
Each month, ELLE DECOR asks an artisan to create a unique item for us.
At the end of the year, these pieces will be auctioned off to benefit the charity of each maker’s choice.
The rich colors, bold prints, and warm textiles of Morocco have long served as a mecca of inspiration for designers. So it’s not
surprising that the artist turned textile designer Madeline Weinrib—who last year closed her eponymous New York showroom
after two decades—has been spending time in Marrakech, where she is now a partner in the renowned boutique hotel El Fenn.
The geometric beauty of Moroccan fireplace mosaics—known as zellige, with intricate tile patterns based on Islamic art—
inspired this new handmade rug. It is woven out of repurposed vintage silk by artisans in India, whose ability to create a luminous
palette mesmerized the designer. The soft fusion of colors—and cultures—represents everything Weinrib adores. “A rug is a very
interactive piece in your home,” she says. “So the process itself needs to be collaborative.” —Samantha Swenson
