Jamie Drake, a prominent designer associated with the Kips Bay Decorator Show House, crafts the garden terrace for this year's event. His long career spans various projects, from luxurious homes to civic work, including landmark renovations in New York. Drake's design approach reflects inspiration from major 20th-century designers such as Mies van der Rohe and Louis Kahn. Significant pieces in his design include a sculpture by Richard Filipowski, which embodies the enchantment and intricacy he aims to evoke in his spaces, showcasing both beauty and historical art movements.
"I was inspired by great icons of 20th century design; Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion, John Saladino's spaces of contemplation and intrigue, and Louis Kahn's spiritual tranquility, all were at play as the concept evolved."
"A lacy phosphorescent bronze and silver sculpture by Richard Filipowski from Hostler Burrows captured the sense of delight and magic I wanted. Its delicate filigree of leafy forms and mystical planets is a focal point of fascination. The artist was a highly regarded member of the New Bauhaus movement."
