Day Trip

It’s easy to get stuck in the routine— your local farmstand, spin class, dog walking at the beach. But as everyone knows, the Hamptons has so much more to offer, if you can steel yourself against the traffic. (Some things never change.) On Memorial Day, my partner and I ventured out into the brisk and blissful late morning and headed from Bridgehampton to Orient Point, where we “scouted” a fabulous house for possible future publication and then wondered what to do next. After two ferry rides from the South Fork, it seemed like a shame to return home so quickly. We were advised to pop into Little Creek Oysters in Greenport (closed, alas), and then decided to head toward Southold, where I had been dying to check out the shops White Flower Farmhouse and White Flower, which have previously been featured in HC&G. They are utterly inventive and charming, and I was pleased to see that White Flower sells the heady fragrances of a local parfumier we are profiling soon, so all was good. Things got even better after we grabbed lunch at Southold General, where the acclaimed pastry chef François Payard turns out delicious sweet treats. And on the way back, we spontaneously detoured through Shelter Island Heights. Although I am familiar with most of the historic neighborhood, I had never gone to the very top of the hill, where houses with the most glorious views tower high above the water. Going off-piste is part of the thrill of the job, and usually (but unfortunately not always) part of my daily m.o. No matter what, I’m always eager to see what’s around the next turn.

Another ferry ride, another day filled with opportunity.

DESIGNING TIMELESS HOMES

Early Memories

Funny how names stay with you. The first trip I made after buying HC&G in 2009 was to the Hamptons, where I toured a house and met designers Jennifer Mabley and Austin Handler, who greeted me with open arms and best wishes for the continued success of their favorite magazine. It was my earliest inkling of the love the community has for HC&G ■ Then I kept hearing the name Lisa Perry. In 2012, when she hosted the inaugural Paddle for Pink event to benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), HC&G was working with Iris Dankner to launch Holiday House Hamptons, a designer showhouse also benefiting BCRF. What later evolved into the annual Paddle & Party for Pink grew to attract dozens of celebrities and raise millions of dollars for the cause. And so it went, Lisa Perry, Lisa Perry . . . who first appeared on our cover way back in July 2006 and more recently bought East Hampton’s legendary Scull House, designed in 1962 by architect Paul Lester Wiener, and transformed it into a showcase of work and furnishings by women artists and designers. These are only a couple of the reasons Lisa Perry will be presented with the 2023 Innovator Award at the Innovation in Design Awards (IDAs) at Bridgehampton’s Topping Rose House in August. (Previous recipients include Martha Stewart, Jack Lenor Larson, Edwina von Gal, and Harry Bates.) It’s a fun event for the design community and one of my favorites. For tickets and more information, go to cottagesgardens. com/idas. I hope to see you there.

GIDEON MENDELSON

The project featured in this issue’s “Pattern Play” (page 78) “was really just a lot of fun” for interior designer Gideon Mendelson, who says “its eclectic palette and mix of patterns took me out of my comfort zone.” Mendelson, who holds degrees in architecture from Columbia University and in design from the New York School of Interior Design, has decorating in his blood. “My mother was a decorator and showed me the ropes, and then a technical drawing class in high school got me hooked.”

SCOTT SANDERS

An Ohio native who divides his time between East Hampton and Palm Beach, decorator Scott Sanders hails “from a family of builders,” a lineage that undoubtedly came in handy as he and his husband began constructing their dream home on a majestic rise overlooking Gardiners Bay (“Cliff Hanger,” page 84). Sanders cut his teeth at Ralph Lauren, describing his 10-year stint there as “pivotal, since during that time I was made the brand’s first in-house designer, which eventually led me to go out on my own.”

RORIC TOBIN

In this issue’s “Village Charmer” (page 98), interior designer Roric Tobin invites readers into his own North Fork home, “a truly special residence because my husband and I have found the perfect showcase for an art collection that we have been putting together for years. This house is a source of joy.” The Manhattan-based decorator, who also works out of Greenport and Miami, describes art as “central to my design work. I always find so much inspiration from art fairs, galleries, and museums.” —Shannon

SUMMERSTOCK

New and notable from the Hamptons and beyond

HAVE A SEAT!

Who says you don’t need to be up on your style game during the lazy days of summer? Fortunately, home accessories companies are killing it with great pieces designed for outdoors— and so good-looking that they’re completely at home indoors, too. Take the Sahara recamier by Brazilian designer Fernando Zanardi: Made of the hardwood coumarou and nautical cord, it’s a shipshape stunner that totally rocks. $3,290, at Heritage Brazil, 87 Powell Ave., Southampton, 917-881-0655, heritagebrazil.com.

Serena & Lily’s Oceanpark lounger really lives up to its name: Slightly slouchy but still buttoned up, it’s an inviting option both poolside and in the shade. Available in three colorways (shown: Botanical Green), $598, 332 Montauk Hwy., Wainscott, 631-537-5544, serenaandlily.com.

a variety of weather-resistant hardwoods and fabrics and comprising an array of seating pieces and tables. Settee (shown), from $15,160 to $17,080, at 1818 Collective, 43 Madison St., Sag Harbor, 631-2601819, the1818collective.com, bassamfellows.com.

STACKING UP

A remarkable combo of precision engineering and stylish design, the Nouveau Niche collection from Janus et Cie features the company’s trademark woven all-weather fiber on a sturdy aluminum frame. The dining chair (shown: Limestone) is stackable and easily stored, but you’ll want to put it to use all year long. $745, 221 E. 59th St., NYC, 212-752-1117, janusetcie.com.

WHAT A LIFESAVER!

New York– and Springs-based decorator Sasha Bikoff, known for her playful, yet reverential approach to design, has put a hole in it: Namely, Lifesaver, her brandnew line of seating pieces for Walters. Dining chair (shown), $1,735, walterswicker.com, sashabikoff.com.

CURVE APPEAL

Made from all-weather wicker, Lulu and Georgia’s sleek and sexy Simi chaise is a seductive perch for afternoons spent reading by the pool. Available in Gray (shown) or Neutral, $2,099, luluandgeorgia.com.

TEAK TRIUMPH

For decades, Bridgehampton-based Thayers Outdoor Living has been the go-to for all things alfresco. Not satisfied with the Adirondack chairs on the market, the company recently decided to produce its own streamlined teak version, designed by Povl Eskildsen and named Montauk for its relaxed, outdoorsy vibe. $1,180, 2434 Main St., 631-5370077, thayershardware.com.

Tropical Punch

Yes, you can grow a banana tree in the Hamptons!

Love the foliage and all the frills of tropical plants? Wishing your backyard plot could look more like a Caribbean getaway? Surprisingly, many hot-weather-loving favorites from points farther south are hardy on the East End, so if you’re looking for a little lushness in the garden, give them a try. —Alejandro Saralegui

Zones: 5–10

Height: 6–14 feet; width: 6–14 feet

You’ll still have to buy bananas for breakfast at the grocery store, but this

variety’s dramatic foliage puts on a dazzling show. After our region’s long winters, it takes a while for the plant to emerge in the spring, but your patience will be rewarded. Keep moist and fertilize regularly.

Best in part to full shade, the leopard plant boasts shiny, almost plastic-looking leaves that give off tropical vibes. Yellow flowers emerge in the fall.

The name says it all: This hard-tokill houseplant can survive the winter outdoors, as long as it is heavily mulched and planted in a protected spot in deep shade to avoid leaf scorch.

Zones: 7–10

Height: 1–2 feet; width: 1–2 feet

These larger-flowered lilies closely resemble tender calla lilies and prefer moist soil. They are ideal along the edge of a pond, and you can pot them up and bring them inside for the winter, too.

A late-summer bloomer, this lily continues to bulk up year after year. Despite the common name, it is intolerant of too much water and performs best in sunny spots.

TIPS

• If you’re fond of hardy tropicals but don’t completely trust Mother Nature, bring them inside for the winter before the first frost.

• Mulch or leaf litter is always a good idea for protecting plants that are marginally hardy in our region. Be sure to use these “exotics” in cut-flower arrangements, including their wonderful foliage. A vase of Farfugium leaves looks terrific on its own and will last a long time.

• Many of these plants grow rapidly, so learn how to propagate them, and share cuttings with friends.

• Regularly apply a good organic fertilizer, such as fish emulsion, and give some to your houseplants while you’re at it.

Pressing Engagement

A graphic designer applies her keen eye to the world of natural ephemera

Diane Burke sees beauty in found and forgotten objects that less attuned eyes might easily miss. A collage artist, forager, and collector based in Orient, she makes notecards and artworks that commingle some of nature’s simplest forms with manmade treasures salvaged from the past. Even dandelions are a marvelous thing to Burke, who enthuses over “their graphic shape and color.”

A graduate of Parsons School of Design, Burke worked as a graphic designer for 35 years at Eileen Fisher, where she honed her restrained aesthetic. “[Fisher] was my mentor,” Burke says, “and I had a front-row seat to her design process.”

During Burke’s tenure, she recalls being inspired by austere pressed-flower works on paper sold at Takashimaya, the iconic Japanese department store, and becoming fascinated by bookbinding. “I love paper and often attended

the annual stationery show at the Javits Center. There, I discovered paper by Fabriano, a family-owned mill in Italy, which I still use today.”

Upon retiring from corporate life, Burke launched Diane B. Handmade, a line of paper goods and framed works featuring pressed flowers and other ephemera both foraged during nature walks on local beaches and accumulated after visits with a passionate personal network of farmers and garden lovers. “I also have a closetful of vintage frames,” she adds, “mostly acquired from private estate sales and my antique collector friends.”

Burke has enjoyed gathering flora since she was a child. “My mother is from Montana, and my family would take summer trips there,” she recounts. “My stepgrandfather gave me a book about pressing wildflowers, and that’s when my love for the craft began.” The flora, she points out, needs to be free of moisture for

Floral

At her home in Orient, Diane Burke makes paper goods and framed artwork with pressed flowers. See Resources.

Doing What Comes Naturally

(counterclockwise from above right) The tools of Burke’s trade, including porcelain trays that she uses to approximate each design’s layout. Burke presses freshly picked dandelions onto double layers of parchment and then dries them for 10 days. Each flower is hand-glued with the help of a fine paintbrush and then positioned on paper with tweezers. An antique bookbinding press completes the job. Finished pieces range from notecards to artworks in vintage frames. See Resources.

optimal pressing. “You have to forage when the sun is out and not on an overcast day, or the mist will linger on whatever you might be foraging.”

To begin a piece, she places her bounty face-down in a double layer of parchment, which she then positions between marble slabs and leaves untouched for 10 days so that it becomes as dry as possible. Next, she arranges the flowers on porcelain trays, typically organizing them in the way that she intends to glue them onto paper with a natural adhesive. The process of “building the piece,” she says, “often involves flipping the flowers, or maybe liking the underside better. Getting them to where I want them to be can sometimes take a few days.”

Before applying the flora to paper, she pencil-marks the area she’ll be working on, using precut Bainbridge mat board frames as a guide. With the help of a fine paintbrush, she dabs glue on the flowers and then places them with tweezers

within the marks into graphic patterns, whether circular wreaths or simple lines of singular stems. Although she previously used heavy books for the final pressing, she now relies on “Tom,” a circa-1880 bookbinding press named for the illustrator friend she acquired it from.

Final pieces are then hand-delivered to a smattering of shops on the North Fork and Shelter Island. “I choose who I think I want to sell my cards to,” she says, acknowledging the circle of supportive vendors in her tight-knit community. And she has recently found room to expand, having moved into a new farmhouse in Orient with “a scallop shed from 1850” and plenty of space to “hang wildflowers upside down to dry and also to store my collection of vintage frames. The North Fork, with its abundant big skies, beaches, and antiques, is my perfect environment.” —Doug Young

The Inside Scoop on East End Real Estate

THE FAME GAME

Can celebrity provenance help a house sell or rent, particularly in a challenging market? Fans of Marilyn Monroe might want to consider the Amagansett house the Hollywood screen legend rented with playwright Arthur Miller during the 1950s, which is currently on the market for $11.5 million with Bobby Rosenbaum of Douglas Elliman Real Estate. Known as Windmill House, the 1,300-squarefoot two-bedroom love nest was built in 1830 and is set on nearly five-and-ahalf acres adjacent to Quail Hill Farm. Famous First Ladies more your style?

In her new Sag Harbor home, decorator Bella Mancini stays true to her mantra of “beautiful, but livable”

The house is clad in clear cedar siding and a standing seam roof. See Resources.

For 25 years, decorator Bella Mancini and her husband, Jeff, lived in New York City and spent weekends at their summer getaway on the North Fork, but the desire to make a permanent move to the East End grew more urgent as time went by, particularly with the dawn of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. “We had tossed around the idea of moving to Sag Harbor for many years,” Mancini says, “even though we weren’t ‘Hamptons people.’

We had both grown up in places that had more of a hometown feeling, and we knew that as our eldest was starting high school, the idea of trying something new was creeping up on us faster than we realized.”

While they were house-hunting for “a contemporary home—but not one that was huge, with lots of things to take care of,” Mancini and her husband found a single-story dwelling on a private two acres with lots of potential for them and

their two children, Paolo, 15, and Paloma, 11. The only problem? “There was already an accepted offer on it, but as luck would have it, the deal fell through, and the house became ours. We knew she was a winner.”

They decided to keep the footprint of the four-bedroom structure while reconfiguring the space to fit their lifestyle needs—a challenge pulled off with some facility, given Bella’s design chops and the input of Jeff, a marketing executive who has a master’s degree in architecture. “We’ve designed all our previous houses together,” Mancini says, “and luckily, we usually agree on everything! Here, we replaced all the windows and blew out the back of the house with huge expanses of glass. We entertain all summer long, and our home is always filled with people, so it has been designed to take advantage of the outdoors from almost every room.” Additionally, the couple are avid cooks, making good use of both the sleek Bulthaup kitchen indoors and a tricked-up outdoor kitchen. “My husband is a fisherman and also has a very robust garden, so we are pretty flush with fresh fish and produce from June to October.”

During the design process, Mancini recounts, her studio director “encouraged me to think of the project as sort of a lab. What normally doesn’t work for clients, for example, could easily work for us. I’ve always been influenced by my Southern California roots and have a rather obsessive love for Australian design, so you can find nods of both here and there.” Since founding her firm in 2000, Mancini has adhered to a guiding mantra of “beautiful, but livable,” a theme that’s deeply embedded in her new digs. “We ask clients to be as honest as possible about what their life looks like,” she says. “If you eat Indian takeout for dinner on your coffee table every Thursday night, then tell us. I don’t want to give you a coffee table that’s going to stain.” In every project, the decorator also routinely checks off what she calls her “always list,” key elements that make a successful home. These include a heady array of wood tones, gorgeous deep colors, lots of texture, and provocative lighting. She’s also partial to a combo of vintage and new. “I source vintage from all over the

place, from Beall & Bell in Greenport to 1stdibs, Chairish, and eBay. And I love a tag sale.”

Furnishings in the house include a marble slab from Marmi Stone that now serves as the top of her coffee table (“It kind of floats”), a vintage Aalto side table, wool-bouclé accent pillows from Pierre Frey, and a chrome pedestal that she “bought at the Chelsea flea market 25 years ago. I still like that shimmer.” Various textiles and textures add further layers of interest, from the living room’s Joseph Carini carpet to a fringed mirror in the guest room.

Having grown up in a home in which some spaces were “off limits,” Mancini is pleased to have risen to a higher level of “beautiful, but livable” functionality in her new Sag Harbor abode. “Some people might think that having a white couch in the living room is insane,” she says, “but ours is covered in a high-performance outdoor fabric. And the throw pillows—well, I’m not attached to them. After all, I have a puppy. Although I would be sad if anything happened to the pillows from Pierre Frey!” ✹

The drapes are made from Jim Thompson’s Peony Trellis. See Resources.

Sometime in the early 1920s, a Brooklyn stonemason built a country retreat for his growing family in Laurel, a farmland community on Long Island’s North Fork that still retains much of its agricultural charm. Later handed down over several generations, the cedar-shake structure had little left to recommend it when four present-day cousins put it up for sale in 2018, but that was just the right recommendation for Sarah Binder Mehta and her husband, Punit. “It’s better to put your own stamp on something,” Sarah says. “We wanted a fixer-upper.”

That they got. Although beautifully sited on a bluff overlooking Great Peconic Bay, the house was a warren of dark rooms with tiny windows just begging to be opened up to sweeping views of the water, and the staircase leading to the second floor was so steep, narrow, and tight against the front entrance that “you practically bumped your nose when you walked in,” Sarah recounts. Additionally, the bathrooms were antiquated, and the kitchen not much better. Although the couple

values cozy, “we also wanted to have lots of guests,” Punit says. Above all, adds Sarah, “it had to appeal to my sense of fun.”

To help transform the house into the getaway of their dreams, the Mehtas turned to designer Gideon Mendelson, who had worked on two previous projects for the couple and is known for his calming, elegant aesthetic. Although Sarah’s ideas for the house tended to lean toward “a little bit of fantasy,” she says, Mendelson remained unfazed by her storybook outlook, tempering her more fanciful suggestions while accommodating her husband’s desire for welcoming spaces fit for frequent entertaining. “Instead of drawing on the familiar Hamptons environment of neutral, sandy colors and pale water tones,” Mendelson says, “I went for a more dramatic palette, deepening it in places with jeweled hues.”

Local architect Nancy Steelman completed an elevation to the roof while Mendelson reconfigured the rest of the house. (“I don’t think an original wall remains,” Punit says.) Sliding glass doors now run the entire length of the lower level on the bayside, where a new combined living and dining area have replaced three

tiny bedrooms. Mendelson also added a generous skylight to illuminate an L-shaped staircase in the newly airy double-height foyer, designing a wave-like accent for the risers and covering the walls in a blue lattice inspired by a photograph of a garden room Sarah had shown him.

Positioned somewhat surprisingly against the entry’s whimsical lattice is a petite Bergmann piano—perhaps an unlikely choice for most people but an essential one for Sarah, who is president of PianoPiano, a rental company founded by her father in the 1970s. The Mehtas’ 16-month-old daughter can barely reach the keys, “but you can tell she already realizes that she can make a sound,” her mother says.

Sarah’s passion for printed wallpapers and luxuriant trims further reflects her taste for fantasy. The media room’s Fern wallpaper from Cole & Son “reminds me of the hanging plants I loved in the breakfast room of the home I grew up in,” she recalls, while her penchant for the far-flung is reflected in Quadrille’s Isfahan wallpaper in the downstairs guest room and Jim Thompson’s Peony Trellis fabric used for the drapes in the living and dining area. Mendelson struck a smart balance by opting for clean-lined seating pieces, including a suite of reissued mahogany-and-rattan dining chairs originally designed in 1957 by Josef Frank for Svenkst Tenn. Their lyre-like backs are suggestive of upside-down anchors or mermaids’ tails. “I insisted on keeping things sophisticated even when they were playful,” he says.

Nothing is more playful, though, than the proliferation of decorative monkeys, Sarah’s pet obsession, scattered throughout. “After Punit and I started dating,” she says, “he started calling me his ‘little monkey.’” It just so happens that Mendelson, a bit of a monkey maven himself, had been holding on to some of Clarence House’s Jembala fabric, a lively print featuring monkeys and other jungle creatures, “for a kid’s room or a playroom,” he says. Instead, it’s now the focal point in the secondfloor guest room in the form of eye-catching roman shades. Sarah even calls the house Bandarstan “because ‘bandar’ means ‘monkey’ in Hindi,” she says. It’s a fitting name for a place where fantasy has a home. ✹

At his own brand-new house overlooking Gardiners Bay, decorator Scott Sanders reaches for the sky

Flying High A precipitous 93-step stairway connects the house to a private beach below. See Resources.

One would think that leaving a storied home and exquisite gardens on East Hampton’s prestigious Further Lane might be a heartbreaking endeavor, but for interior designer Scott Sanders and his husband, retired corporate lawyer Peter Wilson, the time came to embrace their wild side. “Peter has always had a desire to live on the water,” recounts Sanders, who keeps offices in New York and Palm Beach, “and unbeknownst to me, he had been looking [for another property] for a number of years.” Wilson eventually stumbled on a stunning cliffside setting overlooking Gardiners Bay, reached by a steep 93-step stairway leading down to a private beach. “I remember it was very cold and raining when we drove over to see it,” Sanders continues. “I said, ‘If it’s this beautiful in the rain, then it must be incredible in the sun.’”

During the nearly 15 years that the couple lived on Further Lane, Sanders says, the road “got busier and busier,” and this new parcel provided them with an opportunity to “create a space that was very quiet, all about nature and openness, light and air.” Designing the home from scratch presented an added bonus, since they used the same architect and builder as the Further Lane house, BarlisWedlick and Trunzo Building Contractors. “I give them a lot of credit for working with a couple who have a ton of opinions, one of whom is an interior designer!” Sanders says

with a laugh, adding that he and his husband are generally sympatico when it comes to decision-making. “The two of us collaborated on the architecture and the gardens and the overall feel of the house, and as for the decorating, I incorporated a lot of items from the previous house, which I either reupholstered, repainted, or reused. This home has a connection to our 17 years together as well as our earlier lives. It has a sense of continuity.” It’s also a fitting new showcase for Sanders’s “greatest hits”: furnishings he has aggregated

during the last two decades and longed to find a permanent place for. These come from various favorite sources including Wyeth, Orange in Los Angeles, and ShowPony in Palm Beach.

Ample in size, the house is surprisingly intimate, thanks to a floor plan that essentially comprises two separate, linked structures, so that “when you are in a space it’s about that one space, and you can see to the next space through a division or a pathway,” says Sanders, whose smart color sense, anchored by a pal-

ette of nautical blues, further connects the rooms into a seamless whole. “Peter, whose favorite color is green, was a very good sport about everything. He said, ‘I suppose you are going to do blue, since we’re on the water.’ But while you want a cohesive thread with any project you’re working on, you also want the rooms to have their own feel. Each pavilion and each wing here, for example, has its own shade of blue.”

Of note in the living room is a Sanders-designed rug whose pattern is meant to evoke “either oars or waves in the water,” and in the kitchen, blue stone and tile work in tandem with warm wood cabinetry to create a cocooning effect—most appropriate for a couple who love to entertain, cook, and bake.

Such a spectacular setting also calls for spending much time outdoors, so the couple enlisted landscape designer Craig Socia to make a plan that would be the antithesis of a formal garden. Invasive wisteria was replaced with a native plant palette centered on beach grasses, which went into the soil even before construction began. Now it forms an undulating field of green framing the infinity-edge pool. “It looks effortless, but it wasn’t effortless,” Sanders says with a smile. “It’s all about the view and how you get to the view. On some projects, things just click into place, and everything came together on this one. To have that happen while you are working on your own house is wonderful. All the surprises were pleasant surprises, which is very rare.” ✹

Village Charmer

A 1920 Dutch Colonial in Greenport embarks on a colorful new life

BY CELIA MCGEE | PHOTOGRAPHS BY ANASTASSIOS MENTIS

welve-year-old Gretchen, a bouncy Brussels Griffon, didn’t exactly tell Roric Tobin and Justin Concannon to buy the 1920 Dutch Colonial they had been renting in Greenport. But she so enjoyed the walk to and from the beach that Concannon called Tobin one day and said, “We should just buy this house.”

TTobin, an interior designer who also produces his own furniture line, and Concannon, an agent with Sotheby’s International Realty, are no strangers to spotting real estate with lots of potential. They had been renting the Greenport property while building the third of three houses in nearby Orient, all of which had sold almost as soon as they were completed. Meanwhile, the shingled two-story rental had won their hearts even before they noticed how many original details hid beneath decades of paint layers or realized that the lot could accommodate a sweeping swimming pool—an unusual commodity in the heart of the village. The backyard, Tobin adds, provides ample space for Gretchen “to chase bunnies and squirrels and frolic in the sunshine.”

Two beaches lie just around the corner from either end of their block, and downtown Greenport’s shops, restaurants, and galleries are a three-minute walk away.

Pop Appeal

But the street, in a neighborhood known as West Dublin, is quiet and virtually free of traffic, ideal for enjoying lazy breakfasts and coffee on the side porch. In the spring, rows of cherry trees “form a tunnel of blossoms,” Tobin says.

Despite the house’s considerable charms, it was “tootoo small” for the couple’s needs, says Concannon, since it was “technically a three-bedroom, but the third bedroom was tiny, and there was only one bathroom.” So they built a 750-square-foot addition on the back, com-

prising a primary bedroom and bath upstairs and a family room below. The shower in the new bathroom has a view of the Shelter Island ferries as they come and go. Because the couple wanted to respect the history of the century-old house, they sourced as many vintage materials as possible. A floor joist from a nearby abandoned barn was hewn into floating shelves for the kitchen, and a beam from the salvage company Lumber & Salt now bisects the primary bedroom’s lofty ceiling. Tobin, who first got his taste for design while creat-

ing stage sets as an undergraduate at Yale, prefers to make bold statements, an aesthetic he fine-tuned during his years working with the larger-than-life decorator Geoffrey Bradfield. The architectural refinements to the home handsomely showcase the graphic, eye-catching art that Tobin says “is such a focus of my work and of our life.” Donald Sultan’s aluminum Red Wall Poppy punctuates the sitting room, holding a contemporary conversation with an Andy Warhol crayon daisy and a Takashi Murakami flower ball, while Roy Lichtenstein’s lithograph Still Life with Lemon and Glass holds court in the adjacent dining room.

The artworks—referencing the natural world of fruits and flowers, sea and sand—help give the house what Concannon calls a “good nature energy,” also evident in furnishings like the dining table, which Tobin designed from a single slab of strikingly veined black marble resting on a pedestal of whitewashed driftwood. Punctuating other spaces are occasional tables made from multicolored geodes sourced in South America. They are the inevitable outcome, Tobin says, of having grown up as “a nerdy kid who liked to order rocks from the Nature Company.” Outside, at the far end of the pool, two of Tobin’s sculptural, powdercoated steel Crane chairs seem poised to take flight. “Cranes,” Concannon says, “are Chinese symbols of longevity, immortality, and wisdom.” Arguably they have something in common with Gretchen, who obviously knew a good thing when she saw it. ✹
