LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Miami has recently become my home away from home—and I don’t mind it one bit. Even though I am there on business, I’ve found that sneaking to the beach just before sunset and putting my toes in sand makes me feel like I am on a fabulous beach vacation, even if just for a minute.
The design energy in Miami is rejuvenating. Multi-million dollar con-dos are being built and sold at rapid rates, and the city is undergoing incredible expansion due to the interest in investment properties from Russian and South American buyers. When it became time to decide where to open the next extension of the Ligné brand, Ligné Atelier, Miami was the natural choice.
This issue is dedicated to the arts and culture of Miami, and every-thing about the city that makes it one of the hottest international spots in the country. We gear up for our Ligné Atelier launch during Art Basel with a look into the city’s top galleries and all of the hot spots to hit for great design and fabulous cocktails, in true Miami style. I am also thrilled that the beautiful and exceptionally talented Ivanka Trump shares her top 10 must haves in Lust List. As the head of design for Trump Hotel Collections, she knows a thing or two about high style!
Enjoy this issue of Ligné Magazine, and we will see you in Miami!

In an industry where copies run rampant and
original ideas are few and far between, designers
like Laura Byford and Carol Veronique, the design
duo behind Malibu based Byford and Veronique,
are like a breath of fresh air. When they described
their work to me, I was intrigued. When I finally
had the chance to see their first collection, I was
floored. Their technique has allowed even the
most intricate patterns (think vintage lace) to be
captured forever in metal.
“With our beautiful concept of mixing natural
textures, coated with resins and liquid metals
including white bronze crocodile skins, rose gold
shagreen effects and many more, we hope to
have captured the imagination and interest of
renowned designers from all over the world and
we continue to experience a rapid sales growth
and global expansion of our brand,” explains
Byford. Their first collection launched in the spring
of 2014 with coffee and side tables, as well as an
outdoor bench in microcement. In the fall, we can
expect to see their outdoor collection expand into
seating, and also the availability of their specialty
metalwork to be seen in wall panels and tiles. An
entire kitchen backsplash in their rose gold Divine,
or a fireplace in their deeply cracked Bonneville?
Now we are talking. See more about Byford and
Veronique, browse their selection of finishes and
find showrooms at www.byfordandveronique.com.

Known for his inimitable ability to provide
modern lighting remedies to the glaring lack of
authentic illumination options, award winning
product designer Jonathan Browning is
revealing an entirely different creative side.
The lighting connoisseur has unveiled his first
collection of rugs, created in collaboration with
Vaheed Taheri, whose San Francisco based firm
is esteemed for its exquisite productions of
handmade Tibetan carpet.
Browning and Taheri’s partnership was
born out of a shared obsession with quality
craftsmanship and as it turns out, a mutual love
for traveling. The collection consists of ten new
exquisite designs with distinctive details. Each
and every rug shares a different story generated
from Browning’s extensive travels, appreciation
of classic art works and love for ancient designs.
“Travel has always been integral to my design
and production process,” said Browning. “For
instance, a particular rug in this collection
is completely inspired by my time spent in
Morocco, where a palace was covered in the
most ornate carved plaster work I had ever seen.
I lifted one exact pattern and let that be the
basis for the rug.”
Browning’s intricacies in design has not always
been merely devoted to products, He was
first and foremost an interior designer. After
serving as Senior Vice President of designing for
Starwood Hotels—where he was responsible for
the decor of W, Westin, and St. Regis—Browning
has devoted the past 10 years to producing
lighting that employ techniques that have
remain unchanged since the 18th century.
This obsession with quality—almost to an
unhealthy degree—is what brought Browning
and Taheri together for this collaboration.
Two contemporary designers who celebrate
industrial precision.
“I believe that rugs are art for the floor and
should be treated like art, and it is undoubted
that Browning has this way of treating every
design as art. This shared approach is what
made the rug collection what it is—creative and
inspired.” states Taheri.
In a way that only Browning can achieve, each
rug pulls from Browning’s wealth of inspiration,
from trips to Morocco to a Van Gogh painting.
The collection captures a regal yet dynamic look
that blends beautiful wool with wild silk.
“I have traveled to countries such as Nepal, India
and Turkey to learn techniques from people that
have been weaving carpet for generations. Most
people don’t get such an opportunity to get
close to the daily life of the people who make
these rugs, it is a life story and I decided to be a
story teller,” said Taheri, “Through this collection
I was able to help Browning tell his.”

The great granddaughter of legendary Vogue editor Diana Vreeland, Caroline has taken this creative legacy and channeled it through song. Caroline’s unique sound is ethereal. She describes her music as “...almost nervous and always filled with a doomed magic.” Her lyrics are evocative in a way that entices listeners to revel in their own angst—constantly exploring the dichotomy between sex and darkness.
Tens of thousands of followers across her various social media platforms emulate her style and cling to her every lyric. She is effortlessly stylish with a hint of rebellion. Diana once famously said, “There’s only one very good life, and that’s the life you make for yourself.” That’s exactly what Caroline Vreeland is doing through her style and art.

“Fashion for me is what makes me feel pretty and comfortable at the same time; which is not always an easy task. I’ve always loved to mix and match, and this outfit is an example of that. Wearing high-end designer mixed with high-street style. I like to find versatile pieces that I can use in different outfits, for shopping, a night out, or going to a museum—as seen here. I then add shoes, a bag, and finally accessorize, accessorize, accessorize depending on where I’ll be going.”

“For the hottest trends in fashion, I believe in sticking with classics starting with jewelry, like the Love bracelet from Cartier and Van Cleef and Arpels’ Alhambra earrings. Pertaining to dressing, I love local designers like Golondrina. Her dresses are the best secret and her items translate from day to night. A Bottega Veneta large Cabat bag is also a must, paired with a metallic Bottega sandal.”

“I loved the indigo blue tones that permeated many of the men’s collections this summer and I was happy to see that variations of that color are making a significant splash this fall as well. As far as interior design goes, I am definitely feeling all the herringbone and Op Art influences that I am seeing.”

“In Miami, fall trends are always tailored a bit to fit the still-humid temps and colorful landscape. But with this season’s bright and bold shades that we saw at Dior, Altuzarra, Thakoon, and Emanuel Ungaro, we can rock the looks straight from the runway. Interiors are soften-ing up as of late, as new builds have partnered with a slew of notable designers who are modernizing the typical uber-slick Miami style with an eco-chic edge. Gone are the days of all-white, lacquered finishes as Thom Filicia brings his contemporary beachy vibe to Biscayne Beach and Debora Aguiar’s concept of bringing the outside in fills units at 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach, Marea, and Hyde Hollywood.”

“This fall, Miami will be seeing pops of color mixed with the season’s usual dark hues. Think pastels, prints, and lots of gold mixed with neutrals. My absolute favorite fall look would have to be a printed or gold dress paired with a black leather jacket or blazer. Throw on a glamorous statement cuff or necklace and a chic pair of low-heeled booties, and you’ll be right on trend with the fashionistas in the Magic City!”

SOFIA JOELSSON TURNS TWO OCEANSIDE PENTHOUSES INTO ONE SPRAWLING OASIS
A penthouse with incredible ocean views and a bright contemporary interior perfect for entertaining and watching the sunset on the terrace—now that is luxurious living in Miami. When it comes to the highly coveted international style Miami is known for, Sofia Joelsson knows how to get the look. Her international client base seeks her designs for their open layouts, bright accents and innate ability to make a space ultra-contemporary without losing the comfort.
The Capri Marina Grande was no exception. The clients wanted a modern Italian look and feel, with large open spaces suited for entertaining family and friends—naturally taking advantage of the spectacular 270 degree views of the ocean and downtown Miami. Originally two penthouses, Joelsson had the task of merging them into one seamless space with 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths.

Design features include linear lighting in the hallways, bespoke lighting designs, upholstery by Minotti and custom furniture by Joelsson throughout the living room and bedrooms. Every detail of the master bath was created to accent the tub and take advantage of the expansive views. Wrap around wood detailing is used on the walls and frame of the tub while mirrors on the wall reflect the water and add sex appeal.

“The most incredible aspect of this project was the terrace. It is the perfect place to have a cocktail and watch the sunset over downtown Miami at the end of the day,” quotes Joelsson.
“Although we had to use a crane to bring up all of the outdoor furniture that was way too large for the elevators!”

WYNWOODMaya Hayuk's mural for "Women on the Walls" during Art Basel '13.
art as revitalizationWRITTEN BY AUGUSTIN GALLION
ISSUE XI LIGNÉ MAGAZINEǀ 75
WYNWOODEdgy, dynamic, and creative–Wynwood is the new
nexus of Miami’s art and social scene. What was once
a blighted area of abandoned warehouses and facto-
ries is now the new home of the creative class thanks
to late developer Tony Goldman and his company,
Goldman Properties. Goldman was a visionary entre-
preneur with experience developing blighted areas,
like New York’s Soho and Miami’s South Beach, into
hip and world-renowned destinations. His passion for
redevelopment inspired him to evolve Wynwood from
a derelict district into a live/work/play neighborhood
focused on street art and culture.
In 2009, Goldman and curator Jeffrey Deitch first
introduced Wynwood Walls, a “museum of the
streets,” with a focus on street art murals. The sen-
sational work spurred the completion of many street
art murals throughout Wynwood, bestowing the
area with the status of being the hippest and most
creative neighborhood in Miami. In addition to Wyn-
wood Walls, Goldman Properties still maintains the
momentum of commercial development in Wynwood.
Owning over 25 commercial properties, like The
Wynwood Building, The Wynwood House, and their
famous restaurants, Wynwood Kitchen+Bar and Jo-
ey’s, Goldman Properties chooses to focus on devel-
oping business and retail spaces that can strengthen
the artistic atmosphere of the neighborhood. Since
its inception, Wynwood Walls has become the iconic
symbol of Wynwood as a creative neighborhood that
is currently in rapid revitalization efforts to bring in
more business and even more residents.

ISSUE XI LIGNÉ MAGAZINEǀ76
In comparison to other newly developed Miami neighborhoods, like
Brickell where high-rise condo buildings and luxury businesses have
become the neighborhood’s personality, Goldman Properties’ Managing
Director, Joseph Furst, doesn’t see Wynwood becoming gentrified in a
similar sense. “The lifestyle may evolve and become more high-end but
there will always be a focus on entrepreneurs and local creatives. It is
important to keep the soul of the place,” says Furst, “Wynwood is Miami’s
home of the creative class in any medium. Art is the vocabulary for the
neighborhood.” According to Furst, Goldman Properties’ focus is on
reusing and adapting existing spaces in Wynwood to include commercial
and residential space while maintaining a human scaleable environment
fit for the area. “The goal is to keep the area pedestrian friendly with
about five-to-eight story mixed-use infill,” states Furst.
The street art of Wynwood lends itself to the neighborhood’s existing
architecture. Much different from the glass towers popping up across
Miami, the existing low-rise warehouses of Wynwood are exterior
canvases for the culture and it is important for new development to
maintain that culture. This is something that developers Bradley Carlson
and David Polinsky of Fortis Development Group took into consideration
when developing 250 Wynwood, the first approved new construction
condo building in the neighborhood. As their slogan inspires “Home
is where the ART is,” 250 Wynwood is an innovative concept in that
the architecture includes street art, which wraps and fills the building’s
surface, as a design choice. “Our building reflects the simple boxiness of
the surrounding warehouse structures, and also incorporates beautiful
street art, one of Wynwood’s hallmarks,” explains Carlson.
While Wynwood is growing with retail, design shops, galleries, and dining,
the area is slow with residential development due to existing residential
zoning restrictions. These zoning restrictions are being challenged by
developers like Goldman Properties and Fortis Development Group and
small gains are being won. Currently, Fortis Development Group is in the
process of planning a near future development in a land parcel adjacent
to 250 Wynwood. “As a former New Yorker, Wynwood feels similar
to the neighborhoods I know and love--like the Meatpacking District,
Soho, and Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Wynwood is an exciting place, prime
for carefully-planned, beautifully designed, urban infill development,”
explains Carlson. “We will start to see small-scale, low-rise residential
development that is sensitive to to the area’s creative vibe and preserves
the neighborhood’s best characteristics, such as warehouses wrapped in
mural arts.”

Britto Central Gallery on acclaimed Lincoln Road in South Beach, Miami offers fine art to collectors across the globe. Amongst the art are formal displays, photos, memorabilia and perhaps a stray paintbrush, which provide a glimpse into Romero Britto’s creative world. It is here where a talented artist, whose history is dedicated to the play of vibrant colors, finds a home in which his art drapes every surface for not just a few, but the joy of everyone.
Born in Brazil, Romero Britto came to the United States in 1983 seeking new experiences that he might integrate into his art. He has stayed faithful to his belief that his artistic efforts be shared with others and enjoyed by many. Today, Britto’s work is collected and shown around the world, from Asia to South America and across Europe. Yet 20 years later, Britto Central Gallery remains the home where the first strokes of color manifest his vision.
