Kendall Jenner's quirky, colorful country house crafted with Heidi Caillier-pushes the supermodel into new decorative territory

- CHRISTINE LENNON

A certain fearlessness is required to commit to a sectional sofa fashioned from 50 yards of Lee Jofa's bold Hollyhock Handblock print, the granniest grandma-chic fabric. But under the direction of interior designer Heidi Caillier, the iconic floral was stretched over an expanse of down in a Los Angeles workroom, shipped to a top secret mountain location, and deposited in Kendall Jenner's new living room.

A less expected match made in heaven has never existed. "I'm beyond happy with that couch," says Jenner. "There has never been a doubt in my mind about the fabric. From the moment I saw it when Heidi and I started working on this project, I never wavered."

In a way, this singular piece—in Jenner's first ground-up build, designed with Bay Area architect Kirby Lee—represents everything Jenner wanted out of her "getaway home." Jenner was craving a rural escape to spend homey summer weekends with friends that felt well-loved and lived in, as if had been there for a while.

"I had a vision. It was a house full of people squeezed onto a couch for game night," she says. "On one of my first trips there, it happened. I had friends who were staying nearby who came over kind of spontaneously. It made me damn near emotional. I had this dream, and it happened in a home that I built. It was very fulfilling."
