Architect John Walling’s Stonhedge is a prime example of the style. Interior designer Sean Gaston and his husband and business partner Jim Jewell have worked on a slew of notable projects in the Palm Springs area; they purchased this home in 2017. In the sunken living room, a voluptuous vintage 1980s chenille channel sectional by prominent Palm Springs interior designer Steve Chase, whose clients included Farrah Fawcett, Johnny Mathis, Gene Hackman, and Gerald and Betty Ford. A pair of vintage 1970s sculptural thura burl wood club chairs sit opposite the sofa next to the fireplace, along with a 1960s rosewood and leather safari chair by Angel Pazmino for Meubles de Estilo, Ecuador. The vintage 1960s Anglo-Indian set of rosewood and jute stacking stools is by M. Hayat & Bros., made in Pakistan. A vintage round hammered brass and steel table holds a bulbous woven rattan and lucite lamp, vintage 1970s. Exposed pitched roof beams run across the room to the plaster- walled chimney breast, where a Modernist ceramic tile installation, original to the house, extends the full height of the room.
