Design Spotlight: Marc Jacobs

I guess it’s natural that fashion designers should live in fashionable homes. After all, their gimlet eye is what drives the details that go into the apparel they design. Many designers’ homes have become legendary, the homes of Bill Blass, Ralph Lauren and, of course, Yves St. Laurent being among them. Marc Jacob’s Manhattan apartment, featured in this month’s Architecture Digest, exemplifies the type of refined, sophisticated style that reminds us of those earlier fashion icons.

Jacobs’ apartment defies a set style. Rather, it’s a slick mix of Art Deco, 1970’s cool, and great contemporary art. Designer Thad Hayes and later John Gachot, former assistant designer in Thad Hayes’ office, helmed the project. They helped assemble Jacobs’ formidable collection of pieces by Pierre Chareau, Diego Giacometti, Samuel Marx and Eugene Printz into one fabulous but sublimely understated whole.

Summer Style

We’ve had unseasonably cool weather in Los Angeles lately, but fortunately we know it won’t last long. It’s May and that means Memorial Day is upon us and summer is not far behind. I don’t know about you, but I can hardly wait to hang by my pool, cocktail in hand, and while away the weekend. Creating a chic and stylish outside oasis does take a bit of imagination though. Turn your patio into a glamorous Moroccan casbah, Palm Springs mod fantasy, or Hamptons hideaway. A vacation in your own backyard!

Whatever your outdoor vibe is, On Madison has assembled a list of outdoor glam goodies that will have you getting your cocktail shaker out. A few of our recommendations? We dig the furniture from Link Design‘s Echo collection and the vintage designs of Walter Lamb, as well as the totally luxe patio pieces via Janus et Cie. If you’re into a big of Palm Springs chic, the Luna collection by Michael Berman designed for Brown Jordan is also lovely for a vintage Hollywood Regency vibe.

If you’re going to have furniture, you’ll need all the essentials to pair along. For fabric we love the design and durability of Perennials, the best quality luxury performance textiles for outdoor use. For lighting we love Linda Allen’s unique Live Anywhere collection. Cordless, waterproof, specifically designed portable lighting for outdoor use: it’s sheer genius.

See our collage below for all of the items mentioned above, and visit our Pinterest page to brainstorm ways to update your patio and beyond! Summer Style

Thanksgiving Tablescapes

We know you’ve been busily preparing for this week’s Holiday feast….from your tried and true roasted turkey technique to the creamy mashed potatoes (and that chestnut and sausage stuffing your family begs you to make every year) it’s hard to pick a more traditional and more celebrated meal than Thanksgiving dinner. Although it may feel like it’s taken you all week to prep as well as hours of slaving away in the kitchen, isn’t it always well worth it to sit down to a beautiful meal with your loved ones in town and, okay, maybe the big game on the TV in the background?

We love Thanksgiving, but of course, as On Madison always remembers, it is just as important to think about a well dressed tablescape. We’ve created a stunning collage of beautiful ways to arrange your plates and centerpieces and really dazzle your guests this year, as well as gorgeous dining room eye-candy to get you inspired for the new year! Get creative with fresh flowers and herbs, seasonal winter fruits (orange, pomegranate) and even succulents on the table to enhance your dining experience. After all, we eat with our eyes first, and who wouldn’t be delighted to sit down at some of the tables below?

Cheers to a wonderful holiday from all of us at On Madison!
