Ben Soleimani can wax eloquent on any num- ber of subjects near to his heart. Polo, for one, since he spends a great deal of quality time swinging a mal- let on West Coast playing fields, as well as in the Hamptons, Argentina, and points beyond. Carpets antique and modern get him going, too, which stands to reason: He is the founder of Mansour Modern, a leading source of handmade rugs. But nothing ex- cites this strong, silent type like Georgian furniture. Specifically those treasures of cabinetmaking pro- duced during the mid-18th-century reign of Britain’s George II, a time when mahogany imported from Central America was shaped into bold cabriole legs and pedimented bookcases for well-traveled con- noisseurs and collectors not unlike Soleimani himself. “I love, love, love old English furniture,” he says with enthusiasm. That affection is so great, in fact, that Soleimani, who was born in Iran and raised in Lon- don, has outfitted his Beverly Hills residence with choice examples wrought in the 1740s and ’50s. From the swaggering Gainsborough chairs in his liv- ing room to the burl-wood writing desk standing at the foot of the ribbonlike staircase, Soleimani’s im- pressive collection of Anglo antiques is all about vi- sual sobriety and strength—bold silhouettes, darkly gleaming wood, and precious little folderol. “The George II era was a very masculine moment in de- sign, without a lot of gilt,” says the rug expert, who 100 www.storemags.com & www.fantamag.com

always looked like this and that Ben was lucky to have found it so well preserved.” Glossy white paneling sheathes numerous walls, including those of the living room, where centuries- old French tapestries depict a verdant bird-filled chinoiserie garden and two George II chairs are covered in needlework fabric of an even earlier pe- riod. The presence of those venerable pieces— which are joined by a museum-quality Mohtasham Kashan carpet spread out across the walnut floor- boards—might strike fear into some housekeeping hearts, but that space and the entire home are any- thing but touch-me-not. “We wanted to keep it all usable and friendly,” says Joyce, noting that part of the creative process was conjuring visions of his client sitting in various locations and wondering, Will Ben look good there? Rooms specifically designed as frames to enhance the people who live in them might sound crazy in this fast-paced world. But as Joyce points out, “It’s not hard to make a space that looks good by itself. The trick is to craft a room that’s even more attractive 106 www.storemags.com & www.fantamag.com

when it’s occupied. That’s when it becomes magical.” At Soleimani’s Beverly Hills home base, easygoing fabrics in neutral tones set off the rich woods of the English antiques and the dense and colorful pat- terns of the Oriental carpets he had already cho- sen. “All the rugs are antiques,” Soleimani says. “The black Ziegler Sultanabad in the family room, for instance, is the most special. It’s something you never find.” With his client’s textile passions firmly in mind, Joyce relied on modestly colored fabrics that let the carpets claim the lion’s share of attention and whose textures provide a dose of California in- formality. The gently curvaceous tailored sofa in the living room is clad in sand-color linen velvet lightly trimmed with nailheads, while other areas host fur- niture covered in soft corduroy, checked cotton, or saddle-quality leather. “It’s a guy’s house,” Joyce explains. “Only this guy is a quite serious collector who has real knowledge and is actually willing to buy beautiful objects of extreme value and live with them in a casual way.” n elledecor.com 109 www.storemags.com & www.fantamag.com

one of the most moving stories in mythology is the tale of the phoenix, an extraordinary bird that emerges from a flaming pyre with its colorful feathers even more beautiful than before. A duplex apartment overlooking Central Park West in New York City has a similar history. Engulfed by a raging fire and reduced to ashes, it has been handsomely reborn through the efforts of Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch, principals of the design and architecture firm Roman and Williams. “Everything you see is absolutely new,” says the lady of the house. She and her British husband had lived abroad for more than a de- cade, immersing themselves in the exotic cultures of the Far East be- fore settling down with their two young children in a classic prewar apartment with white walls and dark floors. But when a workman’s rags combusted, Standefer and Alesch were left with a blank slate for the atmosphere-conjuring creativity that has won them acclaim on- screen (making sets for Zoolander, Practical Magic, and Duplex), in the hospitality world (revamping New York City’s Royalton hotel and decorating the Standard), and among boho-minded celebrities (Kate Hudson, Ben Stiller, and Gwyneth Paltrow). Conversations between the designers and the couple began in ear- nest, and soon it became clear that the desired result was quite a bit 130 www.storemags.com & www.fantamag.com

Artful ApproAch interior designer pAulA cArAvelli brings A distinctly continentAl flAir to her fAmily’s new york city ApArtment Text by David Colman Photography by Simon Upton Styled by Carlos Mota It’s hard to mistake Manhattan for any other city. True, some of down- town’s cobblestone lanes have a slight whiff of London, and a few brownstone blocks in the west 20s could pass for Boston. But it’s the rare street that conjures Paris. Paula Caravelli found one, however, on the sleepy northern reaches of the Upper East Side, a lovely sloping block studded with Beaux Arts buildings. It’s not easy to articulate what, exactly, provokes thoughts of the French capital, but it’s there. A similar Parisian spirit subtly pervades the interior designer’s home. Composed of two elegantly detailed apartments that have been joined, the place seems so intimate that it is almost surprising to hear Caravelli lives there with her husband, James, and 18-year-old son, Christian. It is even more of a shock to learn that, until recently, it also housed the couple’s three other, now-grown sons: Evan, 27; Gregory, 24; and Paul, 22. In fact, ambiguity and the unexpected are key components of the place, which is less a statement of style (Caravelli is not one for statements) than a delicate balance of disparate elements—and all the more Europe- an for that. It’s epitomized by a pair of David Armstrong photographs— dreamily blurred images of New York street scenes—that harmonize with 134 www.storemags.com & www.fantamag.com

Facing page: Interior designer Paula Caravelli with her husband, James, and son Christian outside their Manhattan apart- ment. This page: Vintage spoon chairs found at a Salvation Army thrift shop flank a brass cocktail table by Gerald Bland in the living room; the burlap-upholstered settee and gilt-wood console are both Swedish, the zinc roof finial is 19th- century French, and the drawing, Trees IV, is by Joan Mitchell.

The living room’s circa-1970 Karl Springer cocktail table is paired with French marquise chairs; the photo- graphs are by David Armstrong, and the wood statue of a bishop dates to the medieval era. Facing page: Vin- tage vases are displayed atop a neo- classical Italian commode beneath a painting by Caravelli’s uncle Augustus Mino. A vintage secretary holds a watercolor and a mixed-media self-portrait, both by Mino, and an amethyst geode. See Resources. 136 www.storemags.com & www.fantamag.com

the huge trees just outside the living room windows and the graceful neoclassical and Regency-style mansions across the street. Caravelli, who is half of the design team Paula + Martha (her part- ner, Martha Angus, lives in San Francisco), had no interest in doing up her place with some sort of idée fixe. “It’s probably a terrible thing for a decorator to say, but I don’t like trends,” she notes. “I don’t work that way. I can’t put something in my house, or a client’s house, for that matter, if I don’t love it.” Of course, lots of designers fill their homes with things they love. What sets Caravelli’s apart is a mix of art, furniture, colors, and finishes that feels truly personal. Nothing is chosen merely for its look or effect. But then, unlike so many people who come to New York to try to create a place and a history that square with their dreams, Caravelli’s past need- ed no retouching. She was born and brought up on Long Island in a family brimming with painters and musicians both professional and amateur, where creative impulses were not only indulged, they were expected. “It’s in the blood,” she says. “We’re a family of artists. Grow- ing up, we were always making something—playing music, redeco- rating, painting. That was the atmosphere.” The apartment provides ample proof of this genetic bent. The foyer holds a sculpture by her sister Janet Buillet. The dining room features a changing array of paintings, including a gorgeous abstract by Cara- velli herself, who studied art before turning to design. And scattered 138 www.storemags.com & www.fantamag.com

In the butler’s pantry, the Perspex wall brackets are vintage American, and the sculpture in the window is by Donald Baechler. Facing page, from top: The cherry-veneered cabinetry in the kitchen was designed by Caravelli, and the re- frigerator is by Sub-Zero; the living room’s oc- tagonal mirror is by Gerald Bland. The dining table of aluminum and blackened steel, a Cara- velli design, holds 19th-century English pine urns from Gerald Bland; the early-19th-century Italian chairs are upholstered in calfskin, and the painting is by Leo Valledor.

everywhere are works by a childhood hero, her uncle Augustus Mino, who was an artist and advertising creative director in New York City. As for the piano in the living room, Caravelli grew up playing, as did her four sons. Of her choice of career, she says with a smile, “Everyone in my family is a decorator—I’m just the first one to do it for a living.” Though her tal- ent may be innate, she has honed it over the years, becoming a master at discreetly mixing not only traditional and modern (a vintage sec- retary with a quirky midcentury French seat; a contemporary dining table and Italian neoclassical chairs) but European and Asian elements as well (a Chinese-style brass cocktail table with Regency-style spoon chairs and a Gustavian settee). Likewise, the apartment’s palette walks a pitch-perfect line between rich tones—an array of blues in the master bedroom, the kitchen’s brandy-color cabinetry, the cocoa-brown dining room—and a host of soft neutrals. Even Caravelli’s one concession to cacophony, a complex collage in her home office, is in restrained black-and-white. “It’s so important to be able to come home to a place that has serenity,” she says. “That’s what I tried to create.” But as any mother of four will tell you, no mere combination of colors and textures can handle everything that life, and children, throw your way. So she has happily embraced one modern convenience notoriously lacking in most Paris apartments. “I believe in closets—everywhere,” she says. “You have to have places to put stuff away.” And she adds with a knowing smile, “We have a really great housekeeper.” n 140 elledecor.com www.storemags.com & www.fantamag.com

The collage in the office is by Robert Greene, the circa-1845 klismos chairs are Danish, and the laminate desk is by Cara- velli. Facing page, from top: In the master bedroom, the mid-19th-century Scandina- vian bergère and English milk-glass lamp are from Evergreen Antiques; the painting is by Leora Armstrong, the photo work above the bed is by Evan Caravelli, and the cashmere throw is by Williams-Sonoma Home. The blackboard-painted wall in a son’s bedroom features a chalk illustration based on ones made by Caravelli’s chil- dren when they were young. See Resources. www.storemags.com & www.fantamag.com

Diet is an important part of pregnancy. Eat a healthy diet that contains lots of fruits and vegetables and foods fortified with folic acid. According to the U.S. Government, women who plan to have a child should be sure to take sufficient levels of folic acid (400 micrograms per day) during pregnancy to help prevent neural tube defects and reduce the risk for cleft lip and palate. When folic acid is taken one month before con- ception and throughout the first trimester, it has been proven to reduce the risk for neural tube defects by 50 to 70 per cent. Be sure to receive proper prenatal care, quit smoking, and follow your health care provider’s guidelines for foods to avoid dur- ing pregnancy. Foods to avoid may include raw or undercooked seafood, beef, pork or poultry; delicatessen meats; fish that contain high levels of mercury; smoked seafood; fish exposed to industrial pollutants; raw shellfish or eggs; soft cheeses; unpasteurized milk; pâté; caffeine; alcohol; and unwashed vegetables.
