Press Excerpts

What [John] Cannon proposed transformed the [clients’] ‘little idea’ into an oasis of comfort and privacy, with the smallest detail planned to suit the couple’s needs.

The minimalism of the De Stijl design movement can be seen in the home’s interior. Stone, wood and simple plaster finishes create smooth surface planes.

Cannon, a gracious man who never reveals his own preferences, clearly has a soft spot for this job. After a grand tour of the place, he let his guard down and out slipped a comment that says it all: ‘the place flows so beautifully and is so comfortable, I could live here in a heartbeat.

If you are from the school of thought that believes ‘little things mean a lot’, you will be awed by this windowscaping designed by John Cannon of Cannon Frank in Chicago.

Chicago Home and Garden

Another winner was the breakfast room created by Cannon Frank that featured pastel glazed plaster reliefs, a tree stump table base with granite top, and antique Venetian crystal belonging to the [owners]. More than $80,000 worth of Tiffany china, silver and crystal completed the table setting and covered an adjacent antique baker’s table to make it one of the prettiest in the house.

This decorative trick masks her full-blown home office…

Chicago Tribune Magazine

The room has it all! Designer John Cannon…accomplished a wonderful balancing act…I guess it’s that rule-breaking ’60s rebel in me that caused my appreciation of the artistic license John employed with the alternate placement [of the window coverings].

The piece de resistance of the home is the master bathroom’s stainless steel soaking tub, 5 feet in diameter, 3 feet deep, that was hand-hammered 200,000 times to echo the ripple effect of the slate flooring.

The 200-seat restaurant seems smaller and more intimate because the interior space is divided into thirds, each with a different feeling.
