KELLY WEARSTLER
The New Yorker dubbed her “the presiding grande dame of West Coast interior design,” but Kelly Wearstler is more rock star than matronly personage.

Like the Italian illusionist, Marino believes in the seamless integration of architecture and interiors and also happens to be an aesthetic polymath.

EMILY SUMMERS
Her luxurious yet restrained interiors have won her and her firm the respect of the Southwest’s leading architects, particularly Antoine Predock and Lake | Flato. In the realization of her soulful contemporary style, Summers continually experiments with new materials and intriguing marriages of texture—a soft wool carpet lapping at the base of a board-molded concrete wall, Venetian plaster alongside plainly finished wood.
JOHN BARMAN INC.
Glamorous Op Art modernity is the specialty of John Barman’s Manhattan interior-design firm, as evidenced in airy high-rise apartments splashed with brightly hued art, textiles, and accessories.
