For this project the customer wanted a unique, one of a kind vanity made out of reclaimed wood. To create this piece our designer collaborated with the homeowner, to pick the materials, design, and finish of this furniture-like piece. After the design decisions were made, the designer personally selected the reclaimed hemlock pieces and worked directly with the cabinet maker to utilize the most interesting parts of this hand picked hemlock. The results speak for themselves!! Joel Hess

Reinterpreting design elements that characterize earlier styles, is always an engaging exercise. The Arts & Crafts influence is apparent here, but the interpretation is distinctly contemporary. The art of exploring fresh treatments of familiar design themes, to complement contemporary spaces, requires deep respect for the sensibilities that gave the original work its appeal. Both the choice of a warm native hardwood (cherry) with a natural finish, and the obviously “crafted” nature of the joinery in these doors speak directly to the values promoted in the Arts & Crafts movement. The goal is a contemporary alternative to the stark minimalism that typifies much of the modern cabinetry we see. Project # 6370.3 Photographer: Michael Meyers

The outdoor living area utilizes bold radial lines to offer a sense of unobstructed openness along the panoramic riverside views. Special consideration was given to the design and engineering of the outdoor space to allow a massive 60-foot span between columns, resulting in an unparalleled view. Playful geometric shapes speak to an easy livability that belie the bold and glamorous design. The second floor deck provides seamless access from the guest bedrooms, office and exercise rooms. The use of glass railing and zero-edge doors carefully preserve the view.

This industrial loft is located in the heart of the hip Logan's Circle neighborhood in Washington, DC. This unit had 2 bedrooms, one primary with attached bathroom and a second guest bedroom loft with open air design to let more light in from the huge picturesque windows along the living room wall. I chose every piece of furniture and art to directly speak to this unique buyer. I brought in elements of metal to match the black iron window framing and concrete "island-made" pillar in the middle of the kitchen. I chose a cognac leather sofa with squared edges and two black leather and metal industrial chairs then softened the decor with bright fall colored pillows and live plants. I pulled colors for this room from the natural scenery of the Fall leaves in the tree outside the windows. The unit was listed at the end of 2022 and right when interest rates rose to 6% in the DC area. This unit sold in under 45 days for $890,000.

Design by Blue Heron in Partnership with Cantoni. Photos By: Stephen Morgan For many, Las Vegas is a destination that transports you away from reality. The same can be said of the thirty-nine modern homes built in The Bluffs Community by luxury design/build firm, Blue Heron. Perched on a hillside in Southern Highlands, The Bluffs is a private gated community overlooking the Las Vegas Valley with unparalleled views of the mountains and the Las Vegas Strip. Indoor-outdoor living concepts, sustainable designs and distinctive floorplans create a modern lifestyle that makes coming home feel like a getaway. To give potential residents a sense for what their custom home could look like at The Bluffs, Blue Heron partnered with Cantoni to furnish a model home and create interiors that would complement the Vegas Modern™ architectural style. “We were really trying to introduce something that hadn’t been seen before in our area. Our homes are so innovative, so personal and unique that it takes truly spectacular furnishings to complete their stories as well as speak to the emotions of everyone who visits our homes,” shares Kathy May, director of interior design at Blue Heron. “Cantoni has been the perfect partner in this endeavor in that, like Blue Heron, Cantoni is innovative and pushes boundaries.” Utilizing Cantoni’s extensive portfolio, the Blue Heron Interior Design team was able to customize nearly every piece in the home to create a thoughtful and curated look for each space. “Having access to so many high-quality and diverse furnishing lines enables us to think outside the box and create unique turnkey designs for our clients with confidence,” says Kathy May, adding that the quality and one-of-a-kind feel of the pieces are unmatched. rom the perfectly situated sectional in the downstairs family room to the unique blue velvet dining chairs, the home breathes modern elegance. “I particularly love the master bed,” says Kathy. “We had created a concept design of what we wanted it to be and worked with one of Cantoni’s longtime partners, to bring it to life. It turned out amazing and really speaks to the character of the room.” The combination of Cantoni’s soft contemporary touch and Blue Heron’s distinctive designs are what made this project a unified experience. “The partnership really showcases Cantoni’s capabilities to manage projects like this from presentation to execution,” shares Luca Mazzolani, vice president of sales at Cantoni. “We work directly with the client to produce custom pieces like you see in this home and ensure a seamless and successful result.” And what a stunning result it is. There was no Las Vegas luck involved in this project, just a sureness of style and service that brought together Blue Heron and Cantoni to create one well-designed home.

This sculpture presents a striking contrast between rigid structure and collective movement. Two solid white blocks stand apart, forming a gap between them, while a dense row of red human-like figures spans the space above, linking the two sides. The repeated forms appear intertwined, their legs and bodies merging into one continuous rhythm. Individual figures become almost indistinguishable, transforming into a single flowing mass. Their vivid red color suggests vitality, urgency, and shared energy, while the white blocks below remain still and silent. Balanced precariously across the divide, the figures act as a living bridge. The work reflects the power of collective action—how individuals, when moving together, can overcome separation and create connection. It speaks to themes of interdependence, unity, and the fragile yet powerful structures that emerge when many bodies move with a common direction. 40 cm x 70 cm x 10 cm Bronze, Aluminum

Home design - eclectic home design idea in Charlotte

The challenge of this project was to fulfill the clients' desire for a unique and modern second story addition that would blend harmoniously with the original 1930s bungalow. On the exterior, the addition appropriates the traditional materials of the existing home, while using contemporary proportions and lines to speak to a modern sensibility. Staggered massing and terraced roofs add to the visual interest and a harmonious balance in the design. On the interior, rich natural materials like oak and mahogany add warmth to the clean lines of the design. The design carefully frames stunning views of the reservoir and surrounding hills. In each room, multi-directional natural light, views and cross-ventilation increase the comfort and expansiveness of the spaces Photography by: Studio Ceja

Great bath design (IMHO) stems from the KISS rule: Keep It Simple! Awesome simple tile designs, float glass, chrome, and let the materials speak for themselves. Any master bath worth its salt should have a curbless shower with a heated floor. Vanity lighting is key and should include both lighting from above for ambiance and direct, bright, in-your-face lighting for everyday tasks like putting on makeup or shaving, on separate circuits of course.
