A Solo Flight
How an individual is transformed into a collector is a unique experience, a solo flight, always tempered by diverse circumstances that fire his imagination and drive him and his inner being to search for a special object. June Jimmy WeldonThe word resonance was conceived for moments like these, when someone elses thoughts ring so true, they forever echo in our world.Jimmy Weldons reflections on collecting sum up our career-long . . .

Cementing Form and Function
Swiss designer Willy Guhl approached his discipline differently than most, letting sound function sing in his sculptural designs: "There is no 'good' or 'bad' material," he said. "What makes the difference is its right and adequate use."By his hand, any material could be put to good, beautiful use. Even fiber cement a composite manufactured in slabs to build homes. Interested in ergonomics and inspired by his participation in the 1948 MoMA competition "Low-Cost Furniture Design," . . .

Hope springs
"The earth laughs in flowers," Ralph Waldo Emerson once said.Too true: Spring finds us smiling at the sight of tender shoots tenaciously breaking through frosty soil. Giddy with new growth, we strive to spread the joy of the season through its most essential expression flowers an aesthetic approach informed by Rush's background in landscape design. Blooms now grace our showroom in a variety of forms from fresh bouquets in crystal vessels to the botanical photographs of Ed . . .

Apres Style
Moving West meant getting to know a new vernacular, both literal and cultural. Concepts like bison jams and first ascents were foreign to us when we first arrived. High on the acclimatization list was the notion of apr s ski: Long-time skiers, we had previously devoted entire vacations to the sport, so the idea of subtracting precious slope-time for socializing seemed anathemas to us.Not so now: We love the chance to cap a Saturday spent on skis with friends fireside. Certainly the . . .

The Shape of Life
In essence, Ed Riddells studio is contained within his eyeor perhaps more broadly, his entire being. He knows the moment he sees a goodpicture. He knows the moment he makes a good picture. It all hinges on what hiseye sees and how what he sees makes him feel. In the moment, he asks himself:Why did I stop here? What am I feeling that made this seem important? If successful,the emotions he feels in the moment will rise in his viewers: goosebumps atbeauty, a smile of mystery.Do . . .

A Sensitive, Sophisticated Eye
To talk about Lee Riddells studio, you must also talk about her home as they share the same site and genius. The downstairs doubles as his and her offices, a studio, gallery, and even, if visitors knock, a self-sufficient guest bedroom. Every detail represents a clear decision: the interior walls glide on tracks into new configurations; the galley kitchen could cater an art opening or whip up a quick lunch. Bookshelves crown the adjoining desks in rows of inspiration. Two walls of windows . . .

A Collaborative Canvas
An interior is a collaborative canvas upon which many masters leave their mark: the architect, the builder, the designer, the technician. Concepts become concrete in domesticity and their contributions blend into the artistry of the whole experience of a home as a well-designed as it is well-loved.On Friday and Saturday, the talents who worked together to realize some of the finest homes in Jackson Hole will return to the sites of their inspiration and welcome visitors along a self-guided tour . . .

A Process of Juxtapositions
With Fall Arts Festival in full swing, we are visiting our featured artists workspaces, glimpsing the imprint of interior environment on aesthetic expression.Much like her molten medium, Ashley Tudor flows between workspaces. Each phase of casting occupies a different venue, a progressive process bookended by stints in the studio inside her modern apartment.Each space has its own temperament: Sculpting starts in her immaculate studio, then migrates to the foundry where the molds are made . . .

Experiencing Design
We tend to describe our style in terms of juxtapositions: alpine elegance, casual contemporary. Building on the visual associations imbedded within each word, we present our aesthetic interpretation of what an elegant interior looks like within an alpine setting, or how laid-back modern pieces can feel when mindfully arranged. And yet, descriptions and images can only evoke so much; to fully understand an interior, you must experience it.Such is the motivation behind the first-ever Western Des . . .

Modern Tradition
Traditions abound this time of year, but to avert any trace of rote celebration, we breathe newness into our holiday rituals. We embrace tradition while forging new customs. We test out new modes of merriment. The tree we trimmed in white last December will find cameos of color this Christmas. It is this concert of new memories and old, creativity and tradition that makes us sing this season and beyond.The inspired balance of contemporary and classic defines Verellen a collection born . . .
