In human communication, explanations serve to increase understanding, overcome communication barriers, and build trust. They are, in most cases, dialogues. In computer science, AI explanations (“XAI”) map how an AI system expresses underlying logic, algorithmic processing, and data sources that make up its outputs. One-way communication.
How do we craft designs that "explain" concepts and respond to users’ intent? Can AI identify, elicit and apply relevant user contexts, to help us understand AI outputs? How do explanations become two-way?
We must create experiences with systems that will be required to respect user needs and dynamically explain logic and seek understanding. This is a significant challenge that, at its heart, needs UX leadership. The safety, trust, and understandability of systems we design hinge on the way we craft models for explanation.

hile we were putting this issue together, I
was invited to speak to interior design and
architecture students at San Francisco’s
Academy of Art University. Joining me were
designers Barbara Scavullo, Jiun Ho and Laura Lienhard. The hundred
or so students in the room were itching to get advice on how to break
into, and succeed, in the design business. Here’s what we told them:
Above all else, be passionate. And exacting. Focus on the details. Do
more than you’re asked. Stay hungry. Be fearless. Have a distinctive
point of view. Remain curious. Travel often. Confidence, polish and
professionalism will take you far. Exceed expectations. Do what hasn’t
been done before. See the potential for beauty where none exists.
And, enjoy the ride. Sage advice for fresh new talent…and us all.

Austin-based architect Ryan Street’s
innovative aesthetic for the featured
Spanish Moorish abode borrows from
the design traditions of celebrated icons
like Wallace Neff and George Washington
Smith. “I chose to introduce an open
plan, with generous outdoor spaces
that communicate with the interior,”
Street says. Inspired by the hill town
architectural elements of southern Spain,
the structure peaks at a third-floor tower
room, which commands captivating
vistas of Lake Austin. rsassoc.com

When Arthur Andersson begins work on
a project, the Austin architect embraces
several cardinal tenets. “It’s imperative to
think about the property’s climate,” Andersson
notes. “I always orient the home so that it is
protected from the sun and takes advantage of
prevailing breezes.” Upon envisioning the
featured Lake Travis residence, Andersson
enlisted a tri-level plan complete with a third-
floor terrace that overlooks the water. “My
intention was to create a space where the
splendor of the lake could be enjoyed while
still making a connection to the physical
place.” anderssonwise.com

According to San Antonio-based architect
Jim Poteet, “renovating a historic building
should be about revealing its inner beauty.”
Situated in the city’s Lavaca neighborhood,
this loft-style home was conjured from a
1860s house, which Poteet infused with
a modern inclination. “As the frame was
originally constructed using German stone
laying techniques,” he says, “I endeavored
to add materials that did not contradict
with its existing components.” By virtue of
reclaimed pine flooring, rich walnut walls
and atypical finishes, Poteet certainly
evoked the structure’s innate charm.

Manhattan architect and chairman of
the Institute of Classical Architecture
& Art, Peter Pennoyer discusses the
merits of classicism.
What is classical architecture?
Classical architecture is based on a set of guidelines, rules and proportions—most
clearly articulated in the Renaissance—that addresses the composition of a building.
It’s an incredibly rich tradition that allows for great imagination, variation and invention.
Can you live a modern life in a classical house?
A modern plan and classical architecture are not incompatible. My wife and I are building a
house, and our dining and living rooms and kitchen are completely open to each other. This
would not have gone over well 50 years ago, and yet, it’s still fundamentally Greek Revival.
Do people have misconceptions about this style?
Some people are scared of it because they think it’ll dictate a way of living. I don’t
think people realize how exciting it can be until they go into one of these houses.
What is a good example of classical architecture in America?
Monticello. One of the interesting things about classicism, which Thomas Jefferson
demonstrated, is that you don’t have to have studied architecture to appreciate it. Monticello
is a wonderful classical house, but Jefferson really made it his own. It’s quite quirky.
Q+A
For the design of the featured Hill Country
abode, Austin architect James LaRue followed
a site-driven approach, where his primary
consideration was marrying the building to its
location. Orchestrating an open floor plan along
the property’s sloping terrain, LaRue implemented
a rich palette of limestone, aluminum and steel
to create a truly captivating façade. “From the
street, only the roof is visible,” says LaRue.
“As you advance towards the home, an alluring
exterior materializes.” larue-architects.com

Set on an open expanse of terrain in central Texas,
this contemporary take on a barn-style structure is
equipped with a two-story apartment and a fully
functioning workshop. Orienting the ipe wood exterior
to create a rain screen, Houston-based architect
Jason Logan was able to increase the flow of air to the
structure and improve insulation. “When you’re faced
with a humid climate, it’s imperative to consider the
specific atmosphere,” Logan explains. “Here, we honed
in on the building’s boundaries in order to guarantee a
comfortable interior.” loganandjohnson.com

Seasoned in a plethora of European architectural
modes, Dallas architect Robbie Fusch’s design
of an English Tudor-style residence came not as a
challenge, but as an opportunity to create something
unique. “I revel in studying different historical periods,”
says Fusch, who investigates the local vernacular
of a period before staging a plan. Steeped in the
traditional, Fusch’s featured home presents carved
limestone on the exterior and oak flooring for the
interior. “The mix of materials harkens back to the
Elizabethan era,” he says, “right down to the English
terra-cotta roof.” fuscharchitects.com

the way in which you respond to them,” says Butcher. “Most recently, we’ve been influenced
by the stark architectural style of urban brutalism and post-war period art.” Ranging from
modern graphic prints in sophisticated colorways to ethereal florals conveyed through
striking embroideries, each work of art simply transforms
an interior canvas with a painterly hand, providing certain
tactile envy to any space. Master craftsmanship, innovative
techniques and a passion for pure beauty fuel Fromental’s
artistic journey permitting Butcher and Deshayes to continue
inspiring the design world. fromental.co.uk

nEW ATTITUDE
JEffrEy alan Marks’ collEctions for PalEcEk Put
a frEsh sPin on thE coMPany’s signaturE MatErials.
Palecek on Marks
Jeffrey was a good fit for
Palecek because his designs are
sophisticated but still casual.
we wanted these two
collections to each have a
different perspective on what
we’ve been doing for years.
Jeffrey took materials that
we’re famous for and gave us
an outside approach.
he energized the brand by
always challenging us to do more
intricate things and to focus
more on smaller details.
we’re excited that the Palo
Alto line will fit really well into
urban environments. It has
slightly more wood and slightly
less rattan.
there was one Piece that
he had to convince me of. It’s
coming out in round two.
Marks on Palecek
i grew uP with Palecek. Its
traditional wicker was in my
parents’ beach house in La Jolla.
what i like about Palecek
is that they’re not just about
wicker anymore. I wanted to be
a little more inventive and put a
new spin on the brand.
i ended uP doing two
collections. Palo Alto is
urban and streamlined, and then
La Jolla is more of a beach look.
i wanted to keeP the feel-
ing of Palecek’s natural
Materials so I came up with
four new finishes that are all
meant to mix in one room
together. I don’t want anything
too matchy-matchy.
PeoPle want that
california look whether
they’re in London or Minnesota.
Yet, the pieces work anywhere
by changing the finish. If you
put the Spindrift sofa in a darker
finish with a beautiful leather, it
would fit in a house in Aspen.
i’M already using Pieces
froM the collections for
two restaurants I’m doing—a new
Larder in Beverly Hills and a
restaurant in Montecito.

hether your RSVP count is 10 or 100, design
should be the guest of honor at any gathering. In
this Chicago dining room, Nate Berkus Associates
created a timeless and inviting milieu that is ready
for a party at a moment’s notice. By infusing the scene with charismatic
details like old pottery, distressed chairs, a mahogany table and a rich
velvety brown color for the walls, the mood is instantly set. “Always
have fresh flowers, a fun seating arrangement, tried-and-true recipes, an
extra-long playlist of great music and a clever takeaway to keep your guests
talking,” suggests Lauren Buxbaum, design director along with Sasha Adler
at Berkus’ firm. Luxe asked design pros Marika Meyer, Sheridan French and
Monica Pedersen to elaborate on some of their preferred party picks.
Guest List: Custom, price available upon request; smockpaper.com
Small Soiree: I absolutely adore Smock Paper. Their
sustainable papers, gorgeous calligraphy and typography
always fit the bill. My favorite fonts are Harrison, Dear Joe
and plain old American Typewriter—you can’t go wrong with
a classic! Big Bash: Byrd & Bleecker in Fort Worth is a creative
gem bursting with invite inspiration for memorable events.
Sheridan French Marika Meyer Monica PederSen
Small Soiree: I strive for an organic look and feel for my
tablescapes, and like to inject flowers, fruits, rocks and leaves.
I turn to Jan Barboglio for my glassware. Big Bash: I break
out my crystal, preferably something from William Yeoward.
And guests should prepare for tequila served in some form at
my parties—Don Julio Añejo always makes an appearance.
Small Soiree: I don’t place much weight on sending guests
home with something tangible but rather supplying them with
great memories! Big Bash: For a fancier affair, it’s nice to
have a little something, whether it’s a small treat in pretty
packaging or sweet-smelling soaps or bath salts. And of
course anything that continues the theme of the event.
Small Soiree: B Designs Letterpress is a must for those
get-togethers that you want to feel really special. I prefer
using a flat card with Garamond typeface. Big Bash: I turn to
Crane & Co.’s ecruwhite, 100-percent cotton, Embassy-size
fold with a London script font. Guests know they’re in for a
splendid evening when they receive this invite.
Small Soiree: We recently discovered the art of homemade
preserves and have had so much fun with different flavors.
They’re a great treat to share with guests. Big Bash: Setting
the mood with candlelight is a must. I couple tapers with
ample votives that I place in unexpected holders; like antique
cut-crystal sugar dishes that are the perfect size for a votive.
Small Soiree: I love Tocca’s small votives. Their light
and delicate fragrance can work well in any home, as
they don’t overpower a room with their scent. Big Bash:
I always send friends away with a small assorted box of
Leonidas Belgian chocolates. The packaging is a perfect
parting gift to an elegant evening.
Small Soiree: I am a bit of a Paper Source junkie when
it comes to letterpress—I can always count on them for
fashionable color options for all my party accessories.
Big Bash: The designer patterns that Kate Spade offers are
to die for, and then it’s about the typography. I usually fall
back on a classic easy-to-read but always-elegant Bodoni.
Small Soiree: There’s nothing like beautiful pillar candles
mixed with an array of votives to create ambience on a
table. It’s so simple yet so memorable. Big Bash: Niermann
Weeks has beautiful chandeliers that instantly add glamour
to a space, which is exactly what I aspire to when planning
an elegant affair. Everyone will take notice.
Small Soiree: There’s always the go-to set of candles,
but I like to rely on good times and laughs to leave that
lasting impression. Big Bash: Cleverly wrapped boxes
of chocolates and mini wine journals are my proven
party favor hits. They’re easy to find and guests are
sure to enjoy them.

visual studies
thomas pheasant reveals the creative process behind
his inspired furniture collection for baker.
T
homas Pheasant carries his camera
and sketchbook everywhere. “That’s
how my process starts,” says the
Washington, D.C. interior designer.
And, as is evident in the furnishings of his 75-piece
collection for Baker, the process ends with the
designer translating those visual experiences into
his own sophisticated language. Sometimes the
connection is immediate and sometimes it has
to emerge: The idea for his Column dining table
instantly struck as he looked up at Paris’ Saint-
Sulpice church, whereas the line’s palette developed
as he kept recalling the silvery buildings seen in
Venice. A floral pattern he photographed on a
Paris apartment resurfaced on the St. Honoré
chest and again on the Petal drum table. “That
table is really inspired by a Valentino dress Halle
Berry wore,” explains Pheasant. “I had the detail
in the collection, saw the dress and sketched
it out. That’s how inspiration works for me.”
1. inspire
“Architecture is a leading force of inspiration
for me,” says Pheasant, who photographed the
Saint-Sulpice church in Paris to reference for
his Column dining table.
2. sketch
Pheasant sketched the Athens lounge chair,
his take on the classic klismos form, while
on an airplane. “It started the ball rolling for
the collection,” he says.
3. create
His furniture designs, as with his interiors
work, balance historic roots with modern
silhouettes. “I wanted to study the past, but
strip it down to the essentials,” says Pheasant.

forever changed the perspective
on designer furnishings: What was
once designed for mere function
is now a creative outlet, defining personal style.
With the launch of a luxury outdoor collection
and a new London showroom, the brand contin-
ues to keep patrons guessing as to what’s next
while never straying from its foundation. Since
its inception, the famed furniture maker is still
operating from a quaint factory in northern
England where each piece is handmade by a team
of artisans using natural, raw materials. “There
is a timelessness and sophistication that allows
our pieces to work in a myriad of diverse interior
schemes,” explains Patricia Spado, director of U.S.
operations and sales. And the distinguished brand
has infiltrated some of the world’s most presti-
gious homes and hotels, a muse for countless
architects and designers. “The structural design
of our furniture,” says Spado, “is the blank canvas
on which designers produce their masterpieces.”
“It is the integrity in both design and craftsmanship that allows
George Smith furniture to transcend simple classification.”
-PATRICIA SPADO, GEORGE SMITH
The Early Victorian chesterfield sofa is possibly the
most iconic and recognizable silhouette in the collection.
The Conversation piece is keeping an open dialogue
as the intriguing product continues to inspire designers.
This Georgian sofa fixed seat is fashioned with a Raoul
Textile, providing a whimsical nod to tradition and form.

Seemingly fragile and perhaps unsteady, the Rendez-Vouz desk from the
Les French collection proves that appearances are in fact deceiving at
times. Though sporting bamboo-like supports bound together simply by
rope, the structural foundation is cast of sturdy bronze and topped with
strong walnut to ensure a secure and dependable escritoire. This inven-
tive concept was implemented in an effort to pay homage to a designer’s
initial sketch and capture that raw idea in its unaltered state.

+ Materials collide through and through in the intricately
assembled Warrior table lamp—its patinated brass shade,
which may shed light on the reasoning behind its moniker,
is firmly secured to an earthy matte-varnished oak base.
Available in a range of sizes from small to large, this able
carrier of light casts a fierce glow, and, just like the register
of products offered by the British company, is not only chic
and contemporary, but glamorous in an unassuming way.

Known for her meticulous and highly disciplined creative
process, Pamela Sunday derives inspiration from nature
and, what may seem unlikely sources, science and math-

the two figures shown here. Using clay as her medium, the
Brooklyn-based artist shapes each spherical form by hand

Designer Patrick Naggar’s precious casegood (which can
serve as a bar, media cabinet or sleek armoire) isn’t just
multipurpose in terms of function. The piece, exclusive to
Ralph Pucci International, seemingly changes color from
green to gold to deep blue depending on how the light hits
it and what angle it’s viewed from, due in part to its striated
doors. This chameleon-like quality—paired with an exqui-
site lacquer body and an elegant gold-hued interior—adds
an unexpected element to any room it graces.

whether represented by me or not.
Greatest fInd:
Charles Umlauf. I was introduced to one

then we’ve had the honor of representing the
family in three shows. If you’ve ever been to

“For every new artist I work with, I ask myself, ‘Could their art hang
next to a Picasso?’ That answer must always be yes,” says Lisa Russell,
owner of the Russell Collection Fine Art Gallery in Austin’s West End.
Whether highlighting emerging artists like Chuck Voelter, Olga Porter and
Rimi Yang, to name just a few, or exhibiting masterworks from Picasso,
Chagall, Rembrandt and Matisse, it’s the collective balance of periods,
knowledge—Russell and her staff thoroughly research everything they
showcase—and curating that resonates most with her mission. “What
displays on the walls here has a deeper meaning once you get to know the
artist,” she explains. “I feel a great sense of accomplishment putting these
collections together.” Russell, who also hosts lectures, visiting artists and
themed international exhibits, says she’s most gratified by the impact
she has on her clients’ lives. “The smile on someone’s face after making a
connection with a piece of art is truly amazing.” russell-collection.com

The magnetism of power lines has long been artist, textile and rug designer
Randy Twaddle’s muse, proving that even the most utilitarian of objects are
exquisite in the right context. Enthralled by the electric energy provider’s
stark, industrial nature, the linear silhouettes run rampant throughout
Twaddle’s work, from charcoal and coffee-and-ink drawings to hand-knotted
Persian rugs. “I’m interested in things that are overlooked, and in finding the
beauty that exists within,” says the Houston-based artist. “In that sense I
consider myself more of an editor than a creator.” Twaddle’s inability to find
carpeting for his own home led to a serendipitous commission from local
dealer Carol Piper Rugs, which helped bring into fruition full-fledged textile
and rug collections. Combining both the fluidity of fine art with the calculated
precision of geometry, Twaddle’s Transformer images bring a fresh perspective
to an often unnoticed entity. “I am amazed at how unintentionally lyrical and
exquisite linear configurations can be,” says Twaddle. “I find those things
and reframe them in a way that gets people to pay attention.” randytwaddle.com
Why coffee?
I spilled some on a sketchbook one day and
found the result really appealing, so I started
to incorporate it into my work in a more
controlled way.

A 25-foot-long wall installation comprising

from a Transformer piece, and translating

was a very interesting process.

Like many Texas natives, hunting has always been in Leslie Pritchard’s
blood. And when she sets her sights on a big game prize—like an antique
camelback sofa, Regency étagère, brass-and-burl end table or Lucite
lamp—rarely does the owner of Dallas vintage shop Again & Again miss.
“I don’t want what someone else has chosen for me,” declares Pritchard. “I
want to find something and put a personal spin on it, whether it’s my own
or someone else’s.” That quest has evolved into a successful business, as
Pritchard’s delightfully exuberant and original approach to period pieces
has developed a loyal following. “We look for things that will stand the
test of time, design-wise,” she says, but nothing is off-limits when it comes
to reinventing a piece, from covering it with zebra pony hair (the shop’s
signature print) to cutting off its arms or lacquering it in an unexpected
hue. “I consider myself a furniture artist more than anything,” says
Pritchard. “I see the beauty in everything.” againandagain.com

eauty and function (and a dash of serendipity) are
often the quintessential benchmarks behind a truly
successful space. The journey to achieve such an
interior is one that many designers find themselves
in time and again. For this kitchen, it was San Francisco-based
Kendall Wilkinson who had to strike the right balance between the
distinct qualities. “Once I found the floral fabric seen on the backs
of the dining chairs,
everything came together
in a creative kismet of
sorts,” she says. Using
stainless-steel appliances
and white subway tiles
as her base, Wilkinson
peppered color and
injected warmth into the
space’s canvas, beginning
with honed ruivina marble slabs. The emerald-hued stone (a
color plucked from the sprightly textile) added contrast to the
all-white cabinetry and steel, but Wilkinson went a step further
and introduced more textures with a seamless wood flank that
flows straight off the marble, resulting in a bar-height table. “I
wanted all the neighboring rooms to feel balanced and evoke a
strong sense of flow from one living area to another.”

143. fabricated appeal
Inspired by GP & J Baker’s delightful Hydrangea Bird print on the
back of each dining chair, Kendall Wilkinson formed her dynamic
color palette, borrowing hues from the motif. Benjamin Moore’s
Dill Pickle found a home on the kitchen walls, while the dining
room received hand-painted wallpaper panels by Sloan Miyasato
in a whimsical orchid-hued wisteria pattern on subtle slub silk.
