    Designer of the Day: Amanda Powell Walker

    New York–based interior designer Amanda Powell Walker is stepping beyond custom interiors with a lighting collection currently in development. This new project comes as her firm, Amanda Powell Design, multitasks on projects including a penthouse loft in SoHo, prewar apartments on the Upper East Side, a townhouse in Greenwich Village, and a house in Marfa, Texas. With comfortability and functionality in mind, Walker creates each home around her client’s own vision rather than a signature look, an approach she admits can be tiring but also deeply rewarding. "A home should help people manage the noise outside, especially in New York," she says.

    Hun Chung Lee Finds Finesse in Clay, Concrete, and Steel

    South Korean artist Hun Chung Lee has spent over 30 years building a ceramic practice that encompasses objects and extensive installations. At the heart of his work is a gentle use of color and raw forms that connect with the natural landscape, drawing on cycles of growth, erosion, and transformation. In “Where Immortals Sing and Dance,” his latest exhibition in collaboration with R & Company, Lee integrates ceramic works into the wooded grounds of MANITOGA / The Russell Wright Foundation, the modernist home, studio, and landscape created by Russel and Mary Wright in Garrison, New York.
