The House That Max Built
By Allison Medoff
A piece of petrified wood is the inspiration for the decor of fashion designer Max Azria’s home. Designed by a wife with extravagant taste, Lubov crafted every detail of each room single-handedly, after their decorator quit on Lubov’s insistence of her petrified wood in the foyer. It serves as the base to a cascading crystal chandelier waterfall. Quite the entrance for a home that boasts unsurpassed spunk and style in every room.
Taking fashion by the reins, Labov characterizes each room with bold statements and swanky details. Walking into Azria’s office is like a kid walking into a candy store. Do you look first at the vibrant multi-colored Paul Smith rug, or the shoe-shaped armchair and matching foot stool donned with red and white stripes in every direction? The shelves are lined with red, blue, and yellow books, while a large ceramic shaped pear sits beside the couch, not quite acting as an end table. The copper domed ceiling only enriches all the colors in this lively room.
Amping the fun-o-meter in her home, Labov’s living room holds the family pet, an orange horse. The statue rests under the laser-cut floral garland that hangs from the ceiling. What flair! Toward the other end of the color spectrum sits the dining room, which features silver walls, white and marcasite furnishings, a mirrored fireplace and a Tord Boontje for Swarvoski Crystal Palace Chandelier.
Without a doubt this lavishly designed house is rooted in fashion. Whether you love it or hate it, it is definitely a home that demands attention.
