PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRYAN HAINER (AMUSESPOT); COURTESY OF PATINA (CHANDELIER, CHAIRS); RETRO VEGAS (DANISH MODERN) GO POP Downtown Las Vegas's Patina offers bold, one-of-a-kind pieces of the vintage variety. A pair of walnut lounge chairs upholstered in vibrant red, designer unknown, integrate key midcentury design elements: bright colors, sleek geometry, functionality, and sexy simplicity. For the boldest of statements, try a 1950s triple chandelier pendant (ABOVE) from Murano, Italy. This slightly kitschy and undeniably luminous candy-colored, hand-blown caged art glass lighting fi xture in pink is simply one of a kind. Patina, 1300 S. Main St., Ste. 140, 702-776-6222; patinadecorlv.com —DANIELLE KELLY MAK E MINE MID-MOD When architectural designer and project manager Yanina Umanzor began house hunting, the Paradise Palms neighborhood was a frontrunner. The alluring variety of midcentury modern marvels combined with a strong sense of history and community gives the neighborhood a "great personality that is not easy to fi nd in Las Vegas." Umanzor and her boyfriend, fellow architectural designer, Ryan Allord, are personally restoring their midcentury home. The hands-on restoration has inspired "a fond connection to the history and uniqueness" of the home and a fresh appreciation for the design's contemporary relevance. Born in Honduras and raised in Las Vegas, Umanzor is endlessly inspired by the city's unique history and rich architectural typology. Her advice for those tackling their own restoration? "Be respectful to the house and its history. Many features can be salvaged and restored with a lot of love and patience." —DANIELLE KELLY profile Hugh Fogel and Carrie Sheerin don't want to tell you how to live, or how to design your home. The creative director and CEO, respectively, behind the Henderson concept boutique Amusespot eschew passing trends and all-too-familiar buzzwords, instead preferring to guide clients toward pieces that'll enhance their everyday lives while subtly recalling the high-design standards of the past. A case in point: Ask Fogel how he'd outfi t a home in Paradise Palms, and he's more apt to tell you how he'd use it. "If I lived in one of those houses," he remarks, "I'd throw a damn party." Built at the height of the city's glitzy heyday, homes like the ones in Paradise Palms, Vogel contends, were social hubs where people unwound after long days spent working in what was then a relatively undeveloped desert town. Accents geared toward entertaining, like Amusespot's retro-meets-mod Marshall bluetooth speaker, moody pendant lights by Tom Dixon, barware by Vegas cocktail guru Tony Abou-Ganim and a statement-making assortment of vintage glassware, would fi nd themselves right at home in such an environment—as would the shop's collection of retro cuffl inks that appear straight out of the Swinging Sixties. 2550 Anthem Village Dr., Ste. 120, 702-857- 8212; amusespot.com V Retro Renegades FOR AMUSESPOT OWNERS HUGH FOGEL AND CARRIE SHEERIN, LIFESTYLE DESIGN KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES. BY TESS EYRICH // IN RE:STORE // Architectural designer Yanina Umanzor looks to "contemporary colors that still speak to the era" to refresh and accentuate her Paradise Palms home. GREAT DANES Seeking the perfect table for eight? Look no further than Main Street's Retro Vegas. This vintage Danish Modern set showcases a teak table by Svend Aage Madsen. The Juliane chairs were designed by Johannes Andersen and manufactured by Vamo Sonderborg. All were purchased in Denmark in 1959 and shipped to the US in 1960. The ultimate mid-mod conversation piece. Retro Vegas, 1131 S.
