THE FISHING BASKET LANTERNS at Marine Layer
Visionary vintner Baron Ziegler opened downtown Healdsburg's hippest tasting room in 2021,
after a massive transformation by Hommeboys Interiors of Sonoma. Ziegler wanted his new winery,
Marine Layer, to be welcoming, light, bright and modern in a town filled with traditional, cellar-like
tasting bars. Creating a lounge vibe that honored the Sonoma Coast influence of the wines was
essential, so the Hommeboys designed the space with two central living room areas-one in front and
one in the back-both anchored by oversized lanterns. Rather than follow the trend with suspending
rushed lanterns, the duo turned to Restoration Hardware's white-washed Indonesian Fishing Basket
Collection. Five to seven woven pendants of varying sizes bring drama to the spaces, grounding each
lounge area with a subtle nod to the ocean breezes that define Marine Layer's elegant style of wine.

THE ART WALL at Little Saint
A collaboration between philanthropists with a passion
for art, climate justice and animal welfare, Little Saint opened
in 2022. Interior designer Ken Fulk is amongst the owners,
whose nonprofit Saint
Joseph's Arts Foundation
inspired the name of the
former SHED modern
grange. Fulk is known
for layered interiors
that combine eclectic
details with theatrical
flare. There are so many
designer touches to
admire in the downstairs
café-meets-larder-meetswine-shop-meets-market,
but
the wall of art that
anchors the café stands
out. An ever-changing
art collection by local
artists serves as the
colorful backdrop for both lounges, suspended against soaring
drapes by Ken Folk Interiors-a California take on the classic
toile featuring a geometric pattern of grizzly bears, California
poppies and snakes. Order a low-alcohol cocktail from
the bar, admire the curation of every object in the room
and grab a seat-there are around 20 different styles of chairs
and couches to choose from in the café alone.

THE WAVE CHAIRS at Hotel Healdsburg
The Sher family, founders of Hotel Healdsburg, have deep connections in the California
arts community and built their first boutique hotel in wine country as an homage to Golden
State artists and the region's natural beauty. Circe Sher, who has overseen the property
since its opening in 2001, learned of architect Gregg Fleishman's fascinating chairs through
her aunt, Abby Sher, who developed Frank Gehry's Edgemar museum-restaurant complex
in Santa Monica in the 1980s. Fleishman's work was featured at Edgemar's Gallery, and Abby
commissioned him to make several pieces, including a series of striking, geometric chairs
for a restaurant. Circe loved their quirkiness, so she purchased a few for Hotel Healdsburg.
Each chair is a single piece that can be folded and assembled to form a chair, or it can be hung
on the wall. Visitors can admire three Wave chairs on property-one near the front desk
in the lobby and two in the elevator waiting areas on upper floors.

THE BATHROOM WALLPAPER at Molti Amici
Former professional wrestler leaves his post at a Michelin three-star restaurant to open
a trattoria. That headline might read like fake news fodder, but it's true. Jonny Barr,
who enjoyed a fruitful career in the Empire Wrestling Federation before becoming
a sommelier and general manager at SingleThread, opened Molti Amici Italian eatery
in 2023. The hip space is a collaboration amongst three SingleThread alumni and aims
to be a gathering place for locals and tourists alike-hence the name, which means
" many friends " in Italian. The friends tapped hospitality designer Hannah Collins
of Roy in San Francisco to transform the brick-walled entry and charming courtyard.
Her wallpaper choices for the restrooms deserve main-event attention. A nod to Barr's
past life, one bathroom features the Wrestlers on Grey by Susiprint, a fun pattern with
luchadores (Mexican wrestlers) performing different wrestling moves, and the second
room vaunts the Flavor Paper's Bay Area toile wallpaper in a moody, ink-pen blue.
