PLEASE TELL US ABOUT THE LAUNCH OF THE CENTER FOR WORKPLACE

INNOVATION AT THE INNOVATION AND DESIGN BUILDING.

As you know the Innovation and Design Building is home not just to the Boston Design

Center but to a great number of professionals spanning many design disciplines:

architects, interior designers, furniture designers, product designers, graphic designers,

tech companies, foundations, and more. We are sitting on one of the worlds most

compelling talent pools and our goal is to activate this group and create a multi-

disciplinary endeavor and national platform for sharing the latest thinking in workplace

design and innovation.

HOW WILL YOU FORMALLY LAUNCH THE INITIATIVE?

We started by reaching out to our community and found our ideal partner: Design

Museum Foundation. They are an organization that is focused on exploring how design

drives innovation. In a nutshell, that is our goal with the CWI. We liked that they were

Boston-based, and we were attracted to their growing presence in major U.S. cities with

an ability to produce pop-up programming and social media platforms across the country. From there we have formed an

advisory council that will act as our think tank and ambassadors for CWI.

DESCRIBE THE TYPE OF PROGRAMMING WE CAN EXPECT.

We will launch this fall with a Workplace Innovation Summit signature event to be held annually, pulling together the thought

leaders of the industry for keynote presentations, demonstrations, and workshops. We will offer regular programming

throughout the year in the form of articles, videos, interviews, and multimedia content for member organizations.

WHAT TOPICS WILL YOU EXPLORE?

The design of how we work and where we work has always been important, but attention and discourse has crescendoed

in recent years, as it is clear that well-designed workplaces translate into higher productivity, team happiness, employee

retention, and increased revenue. We are going to tap into our collective resources and really explore how we can enhance

these benchmark goals in the workplace. We hope our partners and friends at the Innovation and Design Building will take

advantage of all that this endeavor has to offer.

For all inquiries, please contact Michael at [email protected].

DEAR READERSWelcome to ID BOSTON magazines first ever kitchen issue, which

showcases three very distinct kitchens, each fulfilling a different

fantasy and function. Lets take form off the table (ha!) for a minute;

kitchens are really about way of life. They are not about appliances

as much as they are about wiping a childs chocolate-smudged

face while the smell of fresh-baked cookies wafts from the oven.

Kitchens are about standing at a sink and looking out the window

to reflect on the day as the sound of water washes away the noise.

Kitchens are about our senses. In no other room are we more tactile

and engaged with the elements that sustain us: touch, sight, smell,

sound, and lets not forget taste.

Full disclosureI do not really enjoy cooking the way I once did,

but I still LOVE to eat and share the table with family and friends.

I used to feel a little guilty about it; after all, what kind of a person doesnt want

to cook for their family? The truth is, I am raising a family but I am also working

insane hours, commuting, traveling, and active in my community. Something had

to give. Through some sort of divine and unexpected osmosis, my family picked

up the slack, resulting in a husband and three daughters who all are solid cooks

who love and appreciate good food. Its funny how things work out. Even though

Im not in charge of my kitchen, I am fully engaged and transported by the robust

conversation, laughter, and bounty that unfold there.

I can see other scenarios playing out in the kitchens we feature in this issue and

imagine each one has a unique story to tell. Heres to form, function, fantasy, and

finding a way of life that suits your style.

As always, please be in touch: [email protected].

written and photographed by Carolyne Roehm

For Carolyne Roehm, the garden has always been more than a canvas for

beauty. In her most recent book, At Home in the Garden, she canvasses each

of her luscious gardens at her historic Connecticut home, Weatherstone,

through the four seasons. As beautiful and singular as these gardens are, the

arrangements and tablescapes they inspire are some of the most splendid

and inviting we have seen.

VANI SAYEED STUDIOS

WEST NEWTON KITCHEN REDESIGNED BY

words by chesie breen photography by jared kuziaconstruction by fbn construction

16 | I DBOSTONMAGAZ INE .COM

Vani Sayeed is a Newton, Massachusetts-based

interior designer and artist who has received

multiple PRISM Awards from the Builders and

Remodelers Association of Greater Boston for

interior design. This spring Sayeed will participate

in the Boston Junior League show house. She

has also been featured on HGTVs White Room

Challenge, as well as published in several New

England magazines. Her main challenges for this

West Newton kitchen redesign were to open

and brighten up the working space and provide a welcoming

breakfast area for the family. The kitchen was chopped up into

two roomsa small, dark pantry that was unutilized space, and

a kitchen that did not reflect the needs and aesthetics of her

clients. The breakfast area was somber and unappealing.

To create a larger, more functional, light-filled space, she took

down the internal wall. Continuing the streamlined appearance,

all electrical outlets were installed as under-cabinet mounts,

ensuring a seamless look to the walls. An integrated drain board

negated the need for any countertop appliances.

Sayeed opted for long sleek work surfaces of engineered stone.

She installed high gloss upper cabinets and contrasted those with

horizontal-grained English sycamore under-counter cabinets.

The mix of components generates strong visual interest while

maintaining the clean, contemporary look the client yearned for.

The kitchen already benefited from substantial

ceiling height, so she maximized the upper

cabinets to full height, which created additional

storage for items not used daily. An appliance

garage holds bulky items and frees up counter

space without breaking the visual line of the

cabinetry.

Because the interior space has no windows

opening directly outside, Sayeed specified special

LED lighting throughout the kitchen to mimic

daylight. The backsplash is a pure white Thassos glass tile that

bounces light around the room. Because kitchen sinks are often

placed beneath windows, Sayeed created an internal window

above this sink with a view into the family room.

The sleek aesthetic carries over to the adjacent light-filled eat-in

area. A built-in banquette, covered in a durable all-season fabric

from Gloster through Ailanthus, offers cozy and comfortable

seating around a custom designed steel-base white oak breakfast

table, and includes spacious under-storage.

The jewel of the kitchen is an ultimate bar area in a special

metallic finish on wood. It creates an ambiance of sophisticated

drama and grounds the entire space.

Her main challenges for this West Newton kitchen redesign were to open and brighten up the working space and provide a

welcoming breakfast area for the family.

Liz Caan is one of Bostons most established designers, and a bright and talented

face that everyone is always happy to see at the BDC. Her signature play of pattern,

color, and texture has given some of the citys most historic homes energy and

charm that reflect the more modern lifestyles of her clients. In the case of this newly

built home in West Newton, Caan was given a very clear directive. The goal was to

make the house happy, bright, and fun for this young family with three children and

two dogs, says Caan.

The family had lived in the house for about eight years and had done some work

of their own, but it was time to spruce things up and tie the rooms together more

definitively. The family room expectedly sees the most amount of play and they

said they never used the living room, so my goal was to unify the entire floor and

create spaces that were inviting and encourage more exploration and traffic. We

tried to give each space some personality and also increase function, explains Caan.

Furniture arrangements were changed in the family room to accommodate greater

seating and a built-in wall was removed. In the living room, Caan also added more

seating and color. I think we were successful in unifying the pieces the client had

introduced, and we filled in the missing elements to achieve our goal, says Caan.

In the kitchen, Caan changed all of the light fixtures and painted the cabinets, which

had been glazed and looked dated. She also replaced the hardware to bring the

kitchen more up to date. The butlers pantry received a great little facelift with Katie

Ridder wallpaper, new hardware, freshly painted cabinets, and an ebony stained

countertop that was previously mahogany. The goal was to make this little jewel box

bridge the gap between the kitchen and the dining room, shares Caan.

Liz Caan interiors are infused with character, wit, and individuality, and these

interiors answer to that dictum.


The goal was to make the house happy, bright, and fun for this young family with three children and two dogs, says Caan.

DAV I D WEBSTER AND MARN I KAT Z

HIS & HERSInterviewing Webster & Company founder David Webster and Boston Globe design

writer Marni Katz is like listening to a duet with inspired choreography, lyrics, and

repartee. The incubation of their collaboration is the Webster Art Project, a major

show featuring the work of New England artists, currently on display at Webster &

Company through April.

Webster has long been a supporter of the arts and served on the Foundation Board

of MassArt, and Katz comes from a family with strong lineage in the Provincetown

Art Association and Museum. Webster gave Katz his wish list and she went to

work curating. His criteria specified that all works be large scale and have a strong

color field. The more messy, drippy, and abstract the better, and contemporary

landscapes would work as well.

Katz delivered a collection of works by artists from all over New England, including

Portland, Maine, whichaccording to Katzis the new Brooklyn. Webster spun his

magic, finding a way to put the jigsaw puzzle of large and varied work together, and

installed it throughout his showroom.

CREATES A LIVABLE MODERNIST ICON ON MARTHAS VINEYARD

GLE

NN GISSL

ER

33

In the kitchen, Blue Ribbon woven wood shades from

Finelines frame Eureka Sophie Micro light fixtures from International Lights.

Interior designer Glenn Gissler partnered with Bob Miklos of

DesignLAB Architects to create this modernist blend of soft

livable interiors and clean architectural lines in an iconic house

on Marthas Vineyard for longtime clients.

Gissler is no stranger to modernist interiors. He has designed

several residences and showrooms for the fashion designer

Michael Kors. Soft palettes, interesting materials, and mid-

century accents embody his signature style, which makes him

the go-to choice for a sophisticated roster of clients.

The joy of furnishing this house, which features double height

glass rooms, was being involved from footprint to finish; the

challenge was to create an interior that would mirror the

modernity of the architecture without falling into timeworn

solutions, says Gissler.

Clich it is not. There is a diversity and warmth to the choice of

materials that creates subtle texture without the noise. Clean

lines comingle with unexpected choices of mid-century and

custom furniture. The palette is one of pale earth tones: the color

of sand, seashells, and stone derived from the land and seascapes

of Marthas Vineyard.

On the exterior of the sublime structure, the lines of the roof

cladding stand in juxtaposition to many other horizontal and

vertical elements that merge in visual harmony.

In the living room, the massive Japanese-inspired coffee table by

Tucker Robbins sets the tone for rugged elegance. Towering glass

walls and doors are curtained in Perennials fabric from Boston-

based Finelines. The studio sofa, designed by Thomas OBrien for

Hickory Chair, is upholstered in Meru, a Sunbrella fabric from

Donghia. The room is anchored by a large sea grass area rug on

bluestone floors and a massive dry-stack stone wall encases the

fireplace. Carefully chosen mid-century furnishings introduce

warm woods, and a pair of vintage armchairs by Robsjohn-

Gibbings for Widdicomb hold court in the center.

At the other end of this expansive room is the dining area, which

features a Gary dining table by Dennis Miller, made from antique

stained planks. The custom chandelier is by Daniel Berglund.

These combined spaces open onto a generously sized outdoor

terrace.

A kitchen with pristine white-lacquered millwork catches the

abundant natural light and expands into the adjacent sunroom

where driftwood-toned wicker chairs complement the bluestone

floor and natural timber ceiling.

The bedrooms are smartly finished and decorated in soft

palettes. The house flows seamlessly from room to room, and

one imagines hearing only the delicate shuffle of a slipper.

In her Boston Design Market trend presentation this

past fall, top blogger Marisa Marcantonio asked

the question: What makes an interior captivating?

In her view, todays interiors are imbued with

individuality and personality, mixing a wide range of

design styles and movements. A home that captures

the personality of its owners incorporates a well-

curated assortment of collected artwork, decorative

accessories, and personal objects. In her talk, Marisa

explored how to create these personal moments

by identifying key trends in the marketplace,

highlighting what design elements and styles are in

the air. She demonstrated how to mix these versatile

pieces into interior design projects. Here is a capsule

version of the trends she identified.

The Culinary Collection from Christopher Peacock is the perfect blend of

industrial chic and old world charm. This culinary masterpiece conjures the

grand kitchens built in the 1800s to service large estates.

The polished copper hardware is a showstopper and proprietary to Christopher

Peacock, as is the hand-painted white oil-based low luster paint. If you want

to make sure your paint looks rich, textured, and authentic, insist that it be oil-

based. There is no substitute, and it is a myth that you cant wipe it off. Plus,

it will stand the test of time.

This kitchen is a nod to the colors, style, and romantic countrysides of

Denmark, the Netherlands, and Flanders. It is as relevant today as you would

imagine it to be set in a large estate built in the 1800s. The wider door stiles

and rails, non-beaded frames, and rounded hutches make this collection

inherently traditional and thoroughly modern all at once.

SPLASH

The modern farmhouse kitchen is a trend that takes cues from thepast and streamlines them for todays farm-to-table cook. Apron-front sinks, with their hardworking history, resonate with the familiarcomforts of home. Marble countertops and polished chrome faucetsadd visual interest and a touch of classic elegance, while furniture-style cabinetry in muted greys adds architectural interest to sereneand sophisticated work spaces.

BY THE BOOK

JAMES BEARDS CLASSIC ALL-AMERICAN EATS:

RECIPES AND STORIES FROM

OUR BEST-LOVED LOCAL RESTAURANTS

The James Beard Foundation is Americas most prestigious

culinary organization, with a mission to celebrate, nurture, and

honor the countrys diverse culinary heritage through programs

that educate and inspire. A cookbook author and beloved

teacher, James Beard was a champion of American cuisine and

his friendship with the legendary Julia Child is widely considered

one of the greatest culinary alliances of all time. This dynamic

duo of cuisine met in 1961, around the time that Childs first

cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, was published.

After working with a bevy of French chefs, Child saw Beard as a

breath of fresh air and the focal point of American gastronomy.

She believed it was Beard who truly made the culinary profession

a recognized and respected one.

After Beards death, it was Child who pushed to keep his house

and start the James Beard Foundation. Thanks to the strong bond

between these two masters of gastronomy, up-and-coming chefs

now have the chance to make their mark on the world.

In this book, the renowned James Beard Foundation chooses the

greatest of Americas homegrown eateries and presents recipes

of their crave-worthy foods. Every town has one: a humble

restaurant serving up soul-satisfying food, where the flavors

are the best, and the atmosphere is authentic. In the Northeast

the book pays homage to Watermans Beach Lobster in South

Thomaston, Maine, where 100200 pounds of lobster meat is

picked daily for their famous lobster rolls. Also well worth the

detour is Pollys Pancake Parlor in Sugar Hill, New Hampshire,

where they put an original spin on grandmothers oatmeal with

their signature oatmeal bread. Make sure to grab some maple

sugar cookies for the ride home.

Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the maple sugar

and butter until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Add the egg and salt to

the bowl and stir to combine. Add the milk and stir to combine. Add the

flour and stir just until the mixture is thoroughly combined and forms a

soft, sticky dough. Cover the bowl of dough with plastic wrap and place in

the refrigerator to chill until the dough is firm enough to roll, 2 to 3 hours.

Remove half the dough from the bowl; leave the remaining dough in the

refrigerator so it stays cold. Place the dough on a well-floured large cutting

board and roll out to -inch thickness. Using a cookie cutter, cut out

shapes or rounds and place them on the prepared cookie sheet. (If the

dough becomes too sticky to cut as it warms up, place the cutting board

with the rolled dough back in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, or place the

bottom of a well-chilled baking sheet on top of the dough for a few minutes

to cool it.) Sprinkle the dough rounds with additional maple sugar. Bake

until the cookies are lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the cookie

sheet halfway through the baking time. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Remove the cookie sheet from the oven. Let the cookies sit on the cookie

sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely,

10 to 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

These thin, chewy cookies are baked with

The restaurant makes its own maple sugar,

heating local maple syrup to just the right

it through a very fine sifter to produce the

golden, granulated sweetener. Luckily for

sugar online. Similar in texture to tea biscuits,

Inspired by Kravets Fabric Collection with the Museum of New Mexico, ID BOSTON Turns its Lens on Santa Fe and Taos


I first visited Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico, with my family in the early 80s.

My uncle for whom I was named was and still does live in Santa Fe. It was a

time when Santa Fe was exploding on the national scene and Ralph Lauren

could be seen regularly buying up turquoise necklaces and concho belts in the

town square. I vividly remember my visit to the Georgia OKeefe house and

feeling like I was sitting in the kitchen with this remarkable artist whose work

represented a singular look I had not studied in my mostly Renaissance-driven

art history class at the Hockaday School in Dallas, Texas.

From Santa Fe we drove to Taos, where my education and intrigue

with that part of the world was forever opened up. In later years

I went on to study the life of the American artist Millicent Rogers

after first reading about her in The Power of Style by Annette

Tapert and Diana Edkins. In her sunset years, Rogers made Taos

her home, where she designed jewelry made of gold, silver,

and copper, reminiscent of the work done by the ancient Incas,

Aztecs, and the Ashanti tribe of West Africa. She wore traditional

Navajo costume while dyeing velvet in her rustic kitchen, once

a 17th-century fort. Authenticity was one of Millicents traits.

According to Tapert and Edkins, when Rogers passed away,

the entire Pueblo community wrapped in their colorful native

blankets entered a white mans cathedral for the first time in their

lives to pay respect to the gringo woman who had understood

and supported them.

When Kravet announced their fifth collaboration with the Museum

of New Mexico, they had my attention. Kravet has always been

a great leader and steward in the design community. They are

wicked smart and always ahead of the trends, and not just when

it comes to color or style. They understand partnerships and

movements, and this collaboration embodies their sixth sense.

Renowned textile designer and Museum of International Folk Art

donor Alexander Girard quoted an Italian proverb when asked why

he collected the folk art of the worlds artisan: Tutto il mondo

paese or The whole world is hometown. In the words of Pamela

Kelly, Vice President of Licensing and Brand Management for the

museum: In partnering with us and by choosing such a broad

spectrum of museum textiles for inspiration, Kravet too is saying

the whole world is hometown and that there are no foreigners.

Inspiration for these modern interpretations of traditional designs

was drawn primarily from small-scale patterns and embroideries

in the museums 25,000-piece textile and dress collection. Color

and texture inspirations come from pottery, basketry, textiles,

and cut paper patterns. The resulting rich textures and pops of

vivid color conjure the crisp blue sky, fiery red earth, and an array

of complementary hues, both hot and cool, that we see when we

close our eyes and picture the New Mexico landscape.

In the fall, the Museum of New Mexico Foundation hosted an

inaugural design summit, which Kravet helped sponsor, where

home furnishings industry leaders gathered in Santa Fe to discuss

Design, Creativity, and Ethics: How Museums and Global

Cultures Inspire Trends in Interiors and Fashion.

According to Kelly, The summit [was] about encouraging the

dialogue between the artist/designer and the cultural material

and its maker. We would like to see designers who turn to

global cultures for inspiration give credit to the material, maker,

and cultural traditions. By doing such, they imbue integrity and

authenticity to the final product. Drawing on the cultural material

should be about interpretation, not reproduction.

In reviewing this collection, we salute our friends at Kravet

for leading this charge and continuing to act as leaders and

visionaries in the ever-expanding world of design.


1 + 2 Inspiration for the collection was drawn primarily from small-scale patterns and embroideries in the 25,000-piece textile and dress collection at the Museum

of International Folk Art. 3 Iconic Native American textile and ceramic pieces from the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture influenced many of the collections

designs. 4 Museum of New Mexico pillows are available through Kravet on CuratedKravet.com.
