Pale gray walls create a blank canvas in the living room, where a green Great Plains cotton velvet from Holly Hunt, MIAMI MILI EU Scalamandré’s zebra print, F. Schumacher’s bold zig-zags and Elitis’ lemon yellow cushion fabric paint a vibrant picture. DESIGNER AND 2011 DCOTA STAR OF DESIGN WINNER, JOSH WOLLOWICK, CAPTURES THE ESSENCE OF ECLECTIC PANACHE IN HIS OWN MIAMI BEACH CONDO DESIGN BY JOSH WOLLOWICK, JOSH WOLLOWICK DESIGNS, MIAMI BEACH, FL TEXT BY REGINA KAYLIE PHOTOGRAPHY BY TROY CAMPBELL, MIAMI FL M iami Beach, synonymous with invigorating ocean views and trendsetting artistry, is a dream destination for an innovator the likes of designer Josh Wollowick. In an effort to accommodate his energetic lifestyle and passion for design, Wollowick strategically transformed his 1,200-square-foot home into a stylish yet practical abode that serves him well. “I love entertaining and cocktail parties,” Wollowick says as he points out the abundant seating he implemented into this well-thought-out project. ABOVE: Designer Josh Wollowick’s impeccable taste for art first appears in the dining area with the sultry Ruskin Williams pinup painting above a James Duncan console from Ammon Hickson and the bold Reclining Figures, 1966, by painter Francis Bacon to its left. 000 FLORIDA DESIGN’S MIAMI H&D 7-1 BELOW: A modern interpretation of a 17th-century Queen Anne mirror from Jonathan Adler brings a touch of glam to the powder room opulently wrapped in Cole & Son’s trellis-designed, silver foil wall covering from Lee Jofa. A punchy palette of color is infused in the office with a pair of whimsical Joan Miró paintings that tastefully offset the sofa dressed in a bold Duralee print and topped with solid accent pillows from Kravet. Vintage occasional tables from Circa Who, a yellowlacquer cocktail table and acrylic stack lamps from Glo add an extra touch to the theme. A renaissance man of his own craft, Wollowick creatively personified the renovation by uniquely blending select colors and patterns. A monochromatic scheme with a splash of vibrant color was necessary to obtain the eclectic story. “Maintaining a clean and comfortable atmosphere is imperative,” he says of the home, where furnishings range from modern classic to retro-inspired gems from the 1950s, ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, all embellished by an impressive art collection of family heirlooms. “Mixing a variety of eras and styles while sustaining a tight color scheme is essential.” Nothing shy of dynamic, the living room is buoyant with a clover green, vintage Regency sofa trimmed in white-lacquer paint — the genesis of the room’s rebirth. “I always start with one powerful object that builds a story of the room,” Wollowick says. Here, the designer shows off his artisan talents with twin zebra-pattern chairs, Wollowick originals, while two colorful stools and a handsome Greek key-patterned area rug recall the ’70s epoch. Phenomena Burn the Haze, a 1966 original abstract by renowned artist Paul Jenkins, completes the setting. 000 FLORIDA DESIGN’S MIAMI H&D 7-1 Furnishing the terrace with Brown Jordan classic and contemporary, and vintage accent chairs from Shi & Erhard, Wollowick surpassed excellence when he selected beautiful, broken white-marble flooring by Casa Cielo that commands attention at every turn — a finishing touch that lends itself to the picture-perfect setting of Miami Beach. Creating extraordinary flow from the living room and zealous about exhibiting a feeling of openness and light, Wollowick decided to break down walls to shape his office. Dramatic and brimming with flavor moderately describes this space, where a Chinoiserie black-and-white sofa pairs with an eye-catching, banana yellow-lacquer “Campaign” cocktail table that delineates his out-of-the-box approach. Wollowick continues the wow factor in the dining area with a few of his most cherished pieces that include vintage, first-edition “Tulip” chairs by Eero Saarinen that accentuate a retro, glass-topped table. Crystal clear, the Seguso chandelier (circa 1950) — a “diamond in the rough” from Wollowick’s grandmother — stuns from above. A masculine tone prevails in the master bedroom with a smart yet effortlessly stylish scheme. Wollowick softens the space with a wall-to-wall, creamy colored shag area rug partnered with a classic, flame-patterned window treatment. “I don’t like heavy accessories,” the designer says in reference to two symmetrical, vintage patent leather benches and a chocolate brown Mies van der Rohe “Barcelona” chair — the focal point of the room. And just outside, the terrace presents an intoxicating cityscape from the 23rd floor. Classic and current Brown Jordan furnishings set the stage, where vintage, black-lacquer bamboo dining chairs surround a crisp white table — perfect for a stellar soiree amidst the milieu of Miami Beach. ABOVE: A vibrant and interactive piece from artist Victor Vasarely — known for his vogue and geometric designs that introduced the concept of optical effect and movement — draws the eyes in and around the masculine yet warm master bedroom. Here, the natural texture of chocolate brown, grass cloth wall covering from Jeffrey Michaels exudes a tropical ambiance. 000 FLORIDA DESIGN’S MIAMI H&D 7-1 MIAMI MILI EU continued from 000 SOURCES ENTRY/DINING AREA Console - James Duncan, Ammon Hickson, Inc., DCOTA, Dania Beach, FL Roman foot umbrella stand - Fornasetti Milano, Marc Corbin, Inc., Miami, FL Seguso chandelier, artwork and sculpture - Owner’s Collection Dining table - Pottery Barn, Miami Beach, FL Tulip chairs - Knoll, Inc., Miami, FL LIVING ROOM Sofa - Circa Who, West Palm Beach, FL Fabric - Great Plains, Holly Hunt Miami, Miami, FL Accent pillow fabric and area rug - The Rug Company, Miami, FL Lounge chairs - Custom designed by Josh Wollowick Designs, Miami Beach, FL Fabricated by Custom Design Living by Ragusa, Dania Beach, FL Zebra-print fabric - Scalamandré, Hollywood, FL Occasional chair - Lewis Mittman, Nessen Showroom, DCOTA, Dania Beach, FL Cushion fabric - Elitis, Jeffrey Michaels, DCOTA, Dania Beach, FL Stools - Jonathan Adler, Miami, FL Fabric - F.
