A showcase for fine textiles, color, design, craftsmanship and heritage, and a welcoming space for family and friends, that was Sandra Jordan's vision for the barn on her Healdsburg property in California's wine country. Sandra is the creative force behind Sandra Jordan Prima Alpaca, the first to turn this luxury fiber into textiles for the home, which now feature in design showrooms around the world. Her most recent work focuses on a modern interpretation of Peruvian textile traditions, honoring the heritage of her birthplace.
Naturally, the converted barn space would feature her brand's homeware in all their glorious shades but Sandra's interior design ideas went further than that, with many more elements at play. She called on interior designer Gary Hutton to come up with a way of drawing together the wide-reaching strands of her inspiration and create a harmonious, if eclectic, open-plan space for visitors to enjoy. The result is exactly that, one great room that captures many moods and that has striking artwork and artefacts at every turn. There are references and style notes from California wine country living, Peruvian culture, international design, hand crafts, folk art, Latin colors and, of course, Prima Alpaca textiles.
