Antares and Capella Yee are siblings who happen to be named after stars, which is fitting when you consider that celestial bodies seem to have aligned to get them where they are today. Antares founded the furniture design studio Sun at Six in 2017, following in the footsteps of his mother, Maria Yee, who started her eponymous furniture business in China in the 1980s.

Brother and sister on an original Maria Yee design, sized for them.

And How! - Decorator Nick Olsen transforms a Sag Harbor home into a Hamptons retreat with an irreverent humor.

If you must go to the Hamptons, however-because it is devilishly good fun, after all-you may notice an apparently modest, low-slung cottage on Sag Harbor's Main Street and think, with a comfortable sort of feeling, Now that is how a house should look. Nestled amid the Botox bars, helipads, and club-staurants, it could almost set the sordid world aright both a rebuke and a solution to the chaos that surrounds it. A real home.

But This is My Home - One writer discovers that living in an architectural icon can be a blessing and a curse.

One writer discovers that living in an architectural icon can be a blessing and a curse. My husband and I moved into the Kallis House in Los Angeles six years ago. It was designed in 1946 by the modernist architect Rudolph Schindler, and it's believed by many, including Frank Gehry, to be among Schindler's best. The house is eccentric, perched on the lip of a hill, with a butterfly roof and a shaggy exterior made of grape stakes. The interior is an unfolding series of surprising angles, with a wonderful wide view of the San Fernando Valley.
