The hallway leading to the sparsely furnished bedroom opens to a wall of glass, where the light reflects off the dark NAP board floors and walls. The lighter walls are thin-coat gypsum plaster with a beeswax coating.

On Navone’s long list of collaborations is an upholstered seating line with Gervasoni. In a special custom version of her famous Ghost armchair, the arms are adorned with a little something special: various forms of magenta yarn—because, well, why not? I’m considering it coastal grandmother with a funky twist.

What do you get when you mix concrete with architectural debris? In this case, a plant bed, a mirror, a bench, and some wall panels in a delightfully pastel palette. Unlike typical cement furniture that’s been done before, founders Sarah Kele and Anna Cserba’s mission is to honor the memory of an old building while also creating something new.

A big highlight of the exhibition was a presentation by the French cultural institution Luma Arles, which has an R&D lab of sorts. It explores novel, ecologically minded design applications for natural materials, including at Alcova, rice straw space dividers, compressed-salt columns, and felt as a building material, among other experiments.

After renting in San Francisco for a decade, DIY couple Molly Fiffer and Jeff Waldman bought 10 acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where the pair and their friends built a cabin compound complete with sheds, tree decks, a pavilion, a wood-fired hot tub, an outhouse, and an outdoor shower. The cabin is made from locally sourced, rough-sawn redwood, which the couple stained with nontoxic Eco Wood Treatment to give the panels an aged appearance and a dark patina.

“Gliders are all pretty ugly—even the ones that are sort of trying to not be,” says Merrill. “So, we decided to get the biggest and clunkiest–just the most basic, giant thing–and turn it into something fun.” The chair is upholstered in a quilt-like manner using fabric the homeowner collected.

Wrapped with an acrylic mirror, the addition essentially disappears into the surrounding greenery. A deep, round, porthole-like window looks out on a small pond that also reflects the garden.
