John Saladino: The Art of the Edit

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The work of John Saladino reminds me of a quote from Ernest Hemingway: "If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows." In design, what you leave out is as important as what you leave in. John Saladino describes his interiors as "still lifes," which he creates by carefully considering space, color, and shapes. His use of old materials gives rooms a feeling of permanence, but he interprets traditional techniques in a modern way.

Plaster walls come in a distinctive range of tender hues (bone, apricot, periwinkle), mottled as if centuries old—evidence of the passion for timeless textures that has been part of his philosophy since the 1960s. The New York City designer says he approaches a room artistically, seeing its contents as a series of geometric shapes to be gathered into a serenely balanced composition he calls 'a walk-in still life.' One of Saladino’s leitmotifs is monochromatic upholstery lushly quilted into channels, diamonds, or grids. Several of his products, notably the cylindrical glass Saladino lamp and the asymmetrical Santa Barbara sofa, are now icons."</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Interior design by <a href="http://saladinostyle.com/" target="_blank">John Saladino</a>.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Photography by Antoine Bootz.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"<a href="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/AD100/2012/john-saladino-group-ad100-profile" target="_blank">2012 AD100: Saladino Group Inc.</a>"</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/" target="_blank">Architectural Digest</a>.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPTBVafDBhyphenhyphenA3Dm3maXxYn2BWVjYdB_FEa-b5LtLKgLEjrMHRGDckM68vCt_R7b639S00A6HXWnaoEYbIjUcWrEbloinc0oaUg59tqAoDgozFcOFfZQ_j8ek7yxEFbsqUFJDUiBTewNxc/s1600/8Gluckstein.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPTBVafDBhyphenhyphenA3Dm3maXxYn2BWVjYdB_FEa-b5LtLKgLEjrMHRGDckM68vCt_R7b639S00A6HXWnaoEYbIjUcWrEbloinc0oaUg59tqAoDgozFcOFfZQ_j8ek7yxEFbsqUFJDUiBTewNxc/s1600/8Gluckstein.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Use old world materials to lend grandeur. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">John Saladino is known for his historic-tinged designs, but he often uses old materials in new ways: laying silver travertine slabs on walls and floors, or lining a ceiling with Douglas fir for a cigar-box effect that patinates over time."</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Interior design by John Saladino.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Photo via Saladino Style.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"<a href="http://houseandhome.com/design/john-saladino-apartment" target="_blank">John Saladino Apartment</a>"</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.houseandhome.com/" target="_blank">Canadian House and Home</a>. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpaRIOCGQFyZpbm7wfYrz0iCClQrh-eF_BZD0KJrUUi5Mf908mPCfCg7hkRqKUAMB6H1-bYANU0PKq9acc1Pg5dAmLoa9kV-F-zkcSKXMTF8xQp9IfNJuopQwwjKETem6IfgpvUS4aHK0/s1600/12_DS_interiors.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpaRIOCGQFyZpbm7wfYrz0iCClQrh-eF_BZD0KJrUUi5Mf908mPCfCg7hkRqKUAMB6H1-bYANU0PKq9acc1Pg5dAmLoa9kV-F-zkcSKXMTF8xQp9IfNJuopQwwjKETem6IfgpvUS4aHK0/s1600/12_DS_interiors.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Interior design by John Saladino.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Image and text via <a href="http://saladinostyle.com/design-services/interiors/" target="_blank">website</a> of John Saladino.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrokebdyTIiEsF-TeuZlEVNrQww5BYtN0pfHanh4oACMg_Co8guxDNJrTppNgv2gPIgqvh66y0NvyratZ-LsT88ZKfamLnLO21uWM9SMSfRipJXYrnnw_g7-SHG8TJF4pHs6zAhyJw6rI/s1600/540f5be10f43d_-_ver-saladino-doorway-msc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrokebdyTIiEsF-TeuZlEVNrQww5BYtN0pfHanh4oACMg_Co8guxDNJrTppNgv2gPIgqvh66y0NvyratZ-LsT88ZKfamLnLO21uWM9SMSfRipJXYrnnw_g7-SHG8TJF4pHs6zAhyJw6rI/s1600/540f5be10f43d_-_ver-saladino-doorway-msc.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"When the budget allows, I really like to use antique tiles and bricks because they're not all the same age, some of them are thicker than others, and they have a wonderful patination on them.
