As a coastal culture, our creativity and daily lives are informed by the sea, by the sense of freedom of living at the edge of the continent—at the threshold of a vastness that invites dreaming and exploration. California designers have always drawn from its depths, imbuing interiors with marine motifs and littoral hues of stone and sand. Our spring issue is a love letter to this expression of bodies of water through interior design and exhibitions, collections and jewels. We invite you to dive in.
