Social and fashion force Lauren Santo Domingo, widely known by her Instagram handle @thelsd, is one of those authoritative international tastemakers (she is the cofounder of Moda Operandi and artistic director of Tiffany Home) who can change the direction in which people and trends are headed with a single post, a pithy quip, or a widely documented outfit. I expect that her wise words above will be read and contemplated by many as they reconsider their own generic white environments, and she will have done her part to help nudge interior design away from the ubiquitous. Isn’t that what the most meaningful influencers do? Designed with AD100 talent Andre Mellone, Lauren’s handsome ski house in Jackson Hole, Wyoming—full of rich wood and moody hues and a sporty alpine soul—is sure to ignite Pinterest, as most things Lauren touches do.
Speaking of leading more than following…three iconoclastic artists share their intensely personal environments with AD this month, and each home is a reflection of the owner’s passions and signature aesthetic. Kenny Scharf, celebrated for his zany cartoon-inspired practice encompassing painting, sculpture, and video, is a devoted gardener and has outfitted his lush Los Angeles landscape with a riotous assortment of his own giddy artworks spanning multiple decades. In Greenwich Village, we pay a visit to painter Walton Ford in a historic town house that seems untouched by the centuries and evokes the romance and reverence for the past that exists in his own work. Out in the Hamptons, Daniel Arsham turns a postmodern compound into a showplace for a serene Zen garden stocked with his own sculptures of icons of yesterday and today. Share the obsessions….
