TEXAS DESIGN WEEK DALLAS IS A TICKETED EVENT. TO PURCHASE TICKETS, AND FOR COMPLETE SCHEDULE, GO TO TEXASDESIGNWEEK.COM. On Island Time: Amanda Lindroth I nterior designer Amanda Lindroth's second book, Island Dreaming (Vendome), is a romp through easy, breezy, layered interiors, complete with client anecdotes and intriguing tales of installing huge projects on remote islands that require complicated logistics such as private planes, trains, and automobiles. Lindroth took the resort set by tropical storm with the release of Island Hopping in 2018, and this follow- up showcases 20 recent projects, from New York's Fifth Avenue to San Francisco, Lyford Cay to Baker's Bay, which showcase Lindroth's ability to aptly respond to architectural elements with an imaginative island mindset. Her trademarks — boldly colored fabrics, rattan and cane seating, canopied beds, straw matting, lattice details — remain, but in a perceptively richer manner. In a Lyford Cay project, she responded to the organic and sculptural curves and vaulting in a 1980s building designed by architect Savin Couelle by saturating the walls in rich blue with bright coral banding on cross vaults and doors and added tenting to a seating area for a visual transition, and soft seating covered in blue cotton stripes. ALP CV: Lindroth wrote for Women's Wear Daily in New York and headed up Gucci's London PR department before moving to Nassau, where she opened her design firm in 2010. She has since become the go-to decorator for the elite in the islands, known for sublimely understanding and embodying the Lyford Cay style. She has a second studio in Palm Beach. What, When, Where: Salon talk, mimosas, and book signing with Amanda Lindroth, Wednesday, October 23, 10 am to noon, at Sherle Wagner showroom, 1025 Slocum, in the Dallas Design District.
