Edizioni Press - Designing the Hamptons

he Hamptons have come to represent an unparalleled combination of wealth, exclusive real estate, and natural beauty. But what distinguishes the Hamptons from the rest of the country’s vacation spots is their ability to attract talent from the art and design worlds. Whereas artists such as Jackson Pollack and writers such as Truman Capote made the area famous, today it is designers who are contributing to the area’s vibrancy.

Designing the Hamptons: Portraits of Interiors puts forth a collection of the latest installations by the country’s leading interior designers. While talents such as Jonathan Adler, Thom Filicia, and Thomas O’Brien have already become household names through their product lines and television shows, this book will introduce other highly regarded designers such as Jamie Drake, Joe Nahem, Waldo Fernandez, and a dozen others to an audience interested in the latest trends in interior design.

The Hamptons have increasingly become the domain for experimentation in interior design and the styles of decor in this volume run the gamut: more traditional, country aesthetics abut the heights of sleek, spare modernity. The result is a stunning assortment, with each project representing a designer’s signature style.

The book features an introductory text by House & Garden’s Design Editor, Mayer Rus, followed by 336 pages of full color photography.
