Color, pattern, and nature fuse harmoniously in Justina Blakeneyâs boho designs. In the artist and Jungalow founderâs inaugural solo exhibition, this trifecta emerges once more. On view through May 30, âCalifornia Poppyâ displays Blakeneyâs paintings iwithin the liveably luxe interiors of Una Casa Privada, designer Una Malanâs garden-surrounded villa that doubles as a showroom. Presented by Art Wolf Gallery, Blakeneyâs recent body of work, which touches upon the harrowing Eaton Fire, plays with shimmering water, rolling hills, voluptuous silhouettes, and of course the showâs namesake bloom, which becomes a transformative symbol of optimism, replenishment, and strength on Blakeneyâs canvases.
Colony presents a new roster of emerging talents
Colony founder Jean Lin has long championed the careers of budding talents, reinforced in the co-op, design studio, and strategy firmâs annual eight-month-long Designersâ Residency. The third edition, spearheaded by Lin and art director Madeleine Parsons, illuminates works from residents Another World, Blake C. Joshua, and MTM Studio in a show kicking off at the Colony gallery in Tribeca on April 17 (on view through April 30). For their inaugural From Elsewhere capsule collection, Youtian Duan and Yingxi Ji of Another World introduce fantastical elements, while Joshua meditates on the African diaspora with his seven-piece Harlem Cottage collection. Likewise, Recent Relics, the trilogy of objectsâa mirror, a desk, and a lampâfrom Maxwell Taylor-Milner of MTM Studio, explores the rural desert landscape.
Project spotlight
Alpine vibes beckon at Rose Ink Workshopâs Crest Club
Liubasha Rose, founder of Miami- and New Yorkâbased AD PRO Directory studio Rose Ink Workshop, first made her mark on Tellurideâs Madeline Hotel & Residencesâpart of the Auberge Resorts Collectionâin 2021. With Crest Club, the propertyâs recently unveiled private membersâ lounge, she builds upon the European ski resort-inspired interiors she originally crafted for the 83-room, 71-residence site. The well-concealed setting is at once refined and indulgent: patterned floor coverings take cues from vintage ski sweaters, antique-glass mirrors and richly-veined marble bar tops exude swank, and custom trims, moldings, and motifs add a storied appeal. When itâs time for a cocktail, head to the scalloped-tile-clad bar at the Falcon Room. Enveloped in light wood paneling, the space emits a warm glow courtesy of amber glass chandeliers.
AD PRO Hearsâ¦
â¦.fashion label Noah has long occupied a distinctive corner in Nolita, and when cofounder Estelle Bailey-Babenzien got the opportunity to take over the storefront next door, she jumped on the opportunity to design it herself. Now open, 199 Mulberry is reminiscent of an antique shipâclad in cedar-scented panels and filled with vintage watches and jewelry curated by Alan Bedwell of Foundwell from centuries past, the brandâs Americana-inspired menswear becomes part of a larger narrative.
