Up with Upholstery

Natural fabrics are best, and I also prefer neutral fabrics on sofas. This purchase will stick around for years, and the last thing you want is to be saddled with a pink floral sofa to work around.

Light streams into the master suite’s dressing room through glass  panes by Western Window Systems. Clothes are stored in cabinets by Molteni&C; a rustic antique bench from Amber Interiors offers a place to suit up. As in the rest of the house, the fir flooring is by Dinesen. “Having worked with Will so much, I know he responds to a very calm and cool palette of beiges and grays,” says Reddy.

MASSIMILIANO and DORIANA FUKSAS 

Francesca Molteni writes, "A table, a window, a royal square, statues and horses. In Paris, Place des Vosges, Doriana and Massimiliano Fuksas’s home. Original Jean Prouvé furniture, and masses of artworks, from Fontana to Paladino. On the threshold, antique warriors stand guard over the house and protect it, like custodians awaiting the return of its traveling architects." Photo by Aki Furudate.

A lyrical installation devoted to the work of Vincent Van Duysen included his furnishings for Molteni, B&B Italia, Paola Lenti, Flos, and Catherine Huyghe. Though often classified as an architect first, Van Duysen has built a design empire based in Antwerp that produces everything from accessories to lighting. This year he was named creative director of Molteni&C; in 2015 he won the Flemish Culture Award for design.

Saison (San Francisco, California) 

An open layout creates complete transparency between the kitchen and dining area at Saison, designed by Samantha+Hart Architecture, Michael Gibson of Tenant Design, and Jiun Ho. The restaurant's cozy capacity—18 seats—prevents the space from feeling too exposed, however. For the kitchen, the owners imported a custom Molteni stove from Italy, the only one in San Francisco.

MARCIO KOGAN 

Marcio Kogan’s house shoots up towards the sky, reflecting the bright, free spaces of Brazil. He designed the building, his first winning competition entry in 1980; his home is on the 12th floor. A window frames the view over the city, like a huge panoramic screen, for an architect who dreamt of the cinema. The space is full of works, signed pieces, ornaments, travel souvenirs. Kogan remembers the story of each one of then and how they got here. A nightmare for the memory. Photo by Francesca Molteni.

Blue Notes is a minimalist house located in Northcote, Australia, designed by Golden. This period-style home was updated with new joinery and furniture for a six-piece, music-loving family. The updates – all minimalist lines, bold shapes and grand scales – offer modern counterparts to the original Edwardian architecture. Music threads through the house with clever, custom joinery accommodating oft-used instruments in the music room; and in the television-free living room, his-and-hers reading chairs and an oversized Molteni sofa accommodate sprawling listening-sessions around a cherished vinyl record player.
