Portland interior designer Max Humphrey has a special eye when it comes to thrifting. He plays around with funky vintage patterns and shapes from subway tiles to brick & mortar styles. To him, vintage shopping is all about a thrill of the hunt mindset.
On April 20, Humphreyâalong with author Chase Reynolds Ewald and photographer (and frequent
PoMo contributor) Christopher Dibbleâare releasingÂ
Modern Americana (Gibbs Smith, 2021), a new design book highlighting Humphrey s interior design projects from Bend to the Oregon Coast. Ahead of the book s launch, we talked to Humphrey and mined his brain for design tips. When it comes to incorporating style and shopping vintage, he says it s 99% about confidence.â Â
Inspired by Place
Since its founding in 1992, CLB Architects has been guided by the philosophy inspired by place. The book s showcased designs are modern-day archetypes that tread softly on the land while engaging in a dialogue with some of the world s most iconic landscapes.
Inspired by Place introduces readers to artful design and living, while also exhibiting the impressive landscapes of the west. This monograph captures our vision of timeless design, says Eric Logan, principal at CLB Architects. We believe that architecture is inseparable from the land on which it rests, and we have always used the principle inspired by place as the driving force for our practice. Presenting our work in this monograph is a venue for bringing an extension of the American West into the homes of architects and design lovers alike.

Max Humphrey gets it. We don’t want our do-it-yourself home projects to look less than professional, but we also don’t want to live in a perfectly staged magazine spread. The Portland interior designer’s rooms are – you can’t avoid the word – “homey.”
