Incollect Magazine - Issue 10

Incollect Magazine 63 A relatively unknown Corey Damon Jenkins from Detroit, Michigan gained high accolades for his masterful mix of traditional and bold elements in his debut room at the 2019 Kips Bay Decorator Show House. Bursting with eclectic exuberance, the room was an unforgettable display of artistry and a career-making step into the limelight. Jenkins has never looked back, and with each ensuing project, he continues to refine his spirited and uplifting aesthetic. His work has been lauded with top design-world honors; he’s been named to both the AD100 and Elle Decor A-List. In an 1820s home in the coastal town of Cohasset, Massachusetts, he created a sunny, relaxing garden room with a transporting scenic wall mural from British firm Iksel. A white plaster chandelier after Alberto Giacometti and midcentury-style floor lamps create sculptural interest and provide layered lighting. Vintage blue leather wing chairs with nailhead trim are paired with a custom sofa and a trio of carved pedestal travertine cocktail tables. The console is embellished with a walnut marquetry sunburst pattern and patinated bronze details.
