Robert Couturier’s eye for scale, color, and material is just as appropriate for modern living as it would have been in the ancien régime he so favors. The ELLE DECOR A-List Titan’s skill is such that a lifetime wouldn’t be long enough for most to achieve it. “I think I was born designing,” he says. “I had absolutely no inclination to do anything else.” Even in geometry class, for which Couturier had a noted aptitude, his mind traveled to aesthetics. “At college, when everyone else was rendering…

In the Paris apartment of Valentin Goux, color, character, and culture are crammed into every corner. “I don’t do white walls,” Goux says.

His personal design philosophy is characterized by a deep-root…

They enlisted the firm to design a home for themselves an…

Tucked away on a quiet road in Dutchess County, New York, sits an unassuming white barnlike structure, built with a previous century in mind. The 5-bedroom, 3½-bathroom house, with its simple white columned porch and unspoiled view of Stissing Mountain, seems like the perfect encapsulation of 19th-century charm. But it holds a secret: It was actually built in 2005. A Brooklyn couple in search of a weekend getaway fell in love with the property, despite some of its mid-aughts quirks, such as a do…

Many design studios won’t touch a rental, but for the Miami- and New York–based interior designer Sandra Weingort, it was a rental that led her to the project of her dreams. Weingort, who founded her company in 2012 after nearly a decade at the ELLE DECOR A-List Titan firm Studio Sofield, was discovered by the renter’s parents via Instagram. They asked if she might consider taking on their daughter’s New York City apartment if it meant next working on their 11,000-square-foot compound in Wainsco…

Today, in a world awash with Shake Shacks and Burger Kings, it’s easy to yearn for a time when dining was a transcendent experience—a time when pomp, circumstance, and glimmering tableware were as tempting as the meal itself.

Brazilian designer Andre Mellone’s work is as rigorous and refined as it is sumptuous and seductive. That’s perhaps to be expected for someone who cut his teeth under Robert A.M. Stern, Ferguson Shamamian, and Mark Hampton. A few years after founding the New York–based ELLE DECOR A-List design firm Studio Mellone in 2012, he took on what would be one of his most personal projects: a house for his sister and her family in their native São Paulo, built by Andrade Morettin Arquitetos.The 20,000-sq…

The revolution began with a sterling silver bud vase that walked the runway for designer Giorgio di Sant’Angelo in 1969. The woman responsible for the creation, Elsa Peretti, found the vase at a flea market and had it rendered in silver to be worn as a pendant. She followed that sophisticated stunt by abstracting snakes, scorpions, and skeletons in sterling, reducing natural and ancient forms to their essence for Tiffany Co., where she went on to design myriad collections, beginning in 1974.Aft…
