This issue is dedicated to the mavericks of the design world: Designer Janna Levenstein debuts our new Art in Design department; we interview legendary architect Harry Gesner in Malibu; make a studio visit to the Toronto design firm Powell & Bonnell; and venture to Austin, Texas, where the creator of the hide rug, Kyle Bunting, works with an incredible network of creative thinkers. Our features include a modern glass and stone house on the shores of Lake Garda in Northern Italy; a gorgeous house in the woods of Northern California by designer Kendall Wilkinson and architect Jonathan Feldman; and, halfway across the Pacific, an elegant seaside house in Hawaii by designer Barbara Barry and architect Shay Zak. Plus: Amy Lau, Commune, Dougall Paulson, Kenneth Cobonpue and many other design rebels.
