When Stellene Volandes was promoted in March from Town & Country’s executive style director to editor in chief, she knew that the magazine’s 170-year legacy was one of its greatest strengths. That history comes to life in T&C’s offices, headquartered on the 33rd floor of the Hearst Tower in New York, where the walls are punctuated with archival pictures from some of the world’s most famous photographers and back issues of the magazine. When Volandes moved into her new space, she sought to incorporate T&C’s legacy into the décor. “I knew I wanted it to feel comfortable and NYC apartment-like, but still very much an office,” she said. “The blue-and-white ginger jars make it feel comfortable, but the books and all the T&C portraits and archival images clearly set the scene.” Since the life of an editor leaves little time for decorating, fashion market and accessories director Will Kahn was entrusted with the job of interior designer. “Like he does with the shopping pages he dreams up for the magazine, he showed me boards from different offices, real and fictional,” said Volandes.
