Richard Frinier's Daydream Collection
The Out Crowd
July 1, 2003
It comes as no surprise that three designers who have influenced the way we think about outdoor style—David Tisherman, Janice Feldman and Richard Frinier—each have homes in California that devote nearly as much territory to the outside as the inside.
David Tisherman, whose water features and pools are works of art, lives—where else?—at the beach. Janice Feldman, whose Janus et Cie showrooms highlight beautifully designed and environmentally friendly furniture, has her home and private office in an idyllic garden setting. Richard Frinier, who has transformed outdoor furniture through innovative materials, lives in a hillside house shaded by a canopy of palm trees.

“I’ve spent all my summers playing at the beach,” says Tisherman, who resides in Manhattan Beach. “Even as an adult, I’ve spent many hours doing nothing, just watching the water.” Tisherman approaches his work as an artist whose medium is water. But while he is commissioned primarily to create water features—ponds, waterfalls, pools—they are just one facet of a home’s external environment. Working with landscape designers, Tisherman integrates everything—the exterior walls of a residence, trees, pavement, adjacent natural landscape and even distant views—into his overall concept.
