Photo: Eric Striffler After years of working in fashion media, retail, and visual merchandising with brands like Burberry and Saint Laurent and magazines like Details, Mirabella, and Elle, Anthony Watts has bundled his experience to create Layer, a lifestyle company that specializes in what he calls “living décor.” The key, he says, is working with low-maintenance varieties of vegetation and orchids, all presented in elegant planters and vases.

He calls it his “working laboratory,” where he’s able to experiment with different greens and orchids . “The easiest things are succulents; they just don’t require a lot of light.” He’s also a big fan of orchids. “I love them. They are very pretty, and they are a great value.
Watts planted boxwood and trimmed it into spheres to juxtapose the angular contemporary architecture of the dark-stained cedar façade.
