Fresh Air in the Hamptons
Summer has arrived, and with it the easy elegance of long, light-filled days. There’s something magical about June in the Hamptons—when the freshly cut grasses glow emerald green, the sky stretches out in an endless expanse of blue, and the sea sparkles under golden sunlight. Out east, summer feels like a Nancy Meyers movie: warm, relaxed, and timeless.
This month, our muse is the effortlessly iconic Lauren Hutton. Sporty, classic, and undeniably American, she embodies a kind of beauty that never tries too hard. With her linen shirts, sun-washed denim, and windblown hair, she captures the very spirit of the season—free, fresh, and unstudied. Her style reminds us that simplicity can be the most elegant choice of all.
That idea comes to life in our latest featured project: an East Hampton weekend home just steps from the beach and tucked within walking distance of town. Though it’s a new build, we sought to give it soul—to create a home that felt like it had always been there.
We used a very distinct color palette in this house: creamy whites, a wide range of blues, robin’s egg, and leaf greens that reflect the Hamptons’s manicured boxwoods; happy sunshine yellows; and ivories as pure as the sand on Two Mile Hollow Beach. We leaned into beloved regional motifs—myrtle topiaries, blue hydrangeas, hurricane lanterns, ticking stripes, and diminutive florals—then added an edge with unexpected moments: modern art, bold scale, and geometric patterns like windowpane checks in varying sizes.
June always reminds us that design, at its best, reflects the moment we’re in: bright, breezy, and beautifully unforced. This house captures that spirit. And so does Lauren. Together, they inspire us to embrace what we love most about this season: the lightness, the layers, the feeling that life—like a blue hydrangea—is in full bloom.
BEAUTIFUL THINGS
MDS FOR POTTERY BARN
Mark’s latest collection with Pottery Barn celebrates his signature love of blue and white, vibrant citrus, and lush lilacs. Each piece in the collection, from dishes and napkins to table linens, is designed to layer and mix beautifully for any occasion. This collection brings timeless all-American style into your home.
MDS FOR SCHUMACHER
Departing from convention, we set out to design fabrics that defy stereotypes, focusing on grounding solids, rich textures, small scale prints, and a timeless color palette that forms the cornerstone of every project. Additionally, we wanted to create wallpaper panels that effortlessly work back to our existing fabrics with Schumacher.
MDS FOR SAMUEL & SONS
We are excited to introduce our new Orange Hill Farm Collection for Samuel & Sons! Drawing inspiration from Mark's personal country retreat and citrus farm in Ojai, California, this collection of passementerie embodies the timeless allure of country living and the vibrant beauty of citrus groves. This collection is thoughtfully divided into three sub-collections - City, Coastal, and Country - and each sub-collection is based around motifs that our firm is recognized for - the Rosette, the Stripe, and the Check.

Few vendors toe the line between modernity and classicism better than Urban Electric. I know that the lights we use from Urban Electric will look great for generations to come.
