Jonathan Adler and Simon Doonan opened the doors to their New York duplex in the new issue of Adweek [1]. The respective design mogul and Barneys creative ambassador-at-large, married since 2008, have decorated their home in their trademark colorful, pop style; Jonathan told Adweek that he describes his aesthetic as "Modern American Glamour."
"I make many thousands of products, and not only do I enjoy bringing them into my house, I just feel it's my responsibility to road test them," Jonathan said. A number of his products are in evidence in the accompanying shoot, including rugs, lamps, and decorative objects.
Color and pattern are used expertly throughout the home. Rich, royal-looking purples and greens live side by side in the den, while the dining room is a study in midcentury elegance. No surface goes unadorned in the Adler and Doonan household.
Jonathan is known for bringing a playful vibe to his work, and he recently shared the secrets to decorating a happy home [2] with POPSUGAR Home. His design work has, in fact, brought joy to one very important person: his husband.
"It's like living with a hairdresser — you get your hair done for free. I come home and there's new couches," Simon said. "What's not to love?"
