LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
The Artisan connection WHEN SOMETHING IS HANDMADE OR HOMEMADE ,
its specialness is instantly magnified. It’s that delicious combination of the tremendous effort that is involved alongside the very fact that it wasn’t manufactured beyond the scope of that person’s abilities. The originality and one-of-a-kind nature are further alluring. And this can be applied to everything from face cream to a scarf or a showstopper woven necklace— keep reading and we’ll show you. It’s also fair to note that the communities where the artisans crafting these handmade and homemade items reside are often some of the most visually and physically inspiring spots on the globe. It’s no surprise then that our beautiful destinations of St. Barths, Antigua, Anguilla, Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard and Stowe,
Vermont, are all teeming with talented artisans who steadfastly produce homemade products for our wonder and enjoyment. With the growth of technology and online shopping, it’s more important than ever to get out and support your local artisans. Not only will it allow us to maintain a sustainable environment, but it also provides an undeniably tenable connection to the destination where it is produced. After all, isn’t that why we visit and return to these spots? Isn’t it that connection to a place, particularly one we can access when we are not there physically, exactly what we are craving? I invite you, then, to consider the featured small boutiques, farms and individual artisans and artists highlighted in this issue. Remember them next time you are in these destinations, knowing there are many more as well, and visit them, meet them and most of all consider them before you check out your cart online. There’s no stronger or more important connection than the human connection—particularly during the holidays. I wish you all a wonderful holiday season filled with inspiring connections.

LETTER FROM THE FOUNDERS
’tis the season At Tradewind, we eagerly anticipate the season change. The cooler weather means time to say goodbye to the northern beaches and put our noses to the grindstone. Fall is the season of transition. Many of our aircraft don a business suit and support all manner of corporate travel throughout the country. Please be sure to reach out with any travel needs, even if outside the routes that you know so well. With a fleet of over 20 planes, we are sure to be helpful. Fall also signifies our transition to warmer climes. Many of the Tradewind team and aircraft head to the Caribbean, where they are poised to whisk you away to your island paradise. The pages of Goodspeed are a great way to set you up on island and spark the imagination for future trips.

Artisanal Gift Guide This year we focused our lens even more narrowly on our destinations for our annual Gift Guide and chose to feature only items made by local residents. We believe that nothing recalls a destination better than a locally made product. Fortunately, our destinations’ wide talent pool of artisans made this an enormously inspiring task, so it’s fair to say that we felt spoiled even before the gift giving began.
As a child, Dan spent summers on Nantucket, visiting his aunt who owned a Marimekko shop on Candle Street. Women came to buy the latest Marimekko scarves to line their Lightship Baskets—and thus sparked his interest in them. Mostly self-taught, Dan has been making baskets for 30 years in the handcraft manner of the sailors. His reeds don’t perfectly match, and he doesn’t use modern tools, but his baskets are sturdy and are meant to be used and get better with age. DAN BRESNIHAN BASKETS

A familiar artist on Nantucket, Jeanne’s whimsical mermaid-laced designs are as cheerful as they are detailed. Best known for her island-inspired motifs (whales, mermaids, florals) which she paints on shells, frames, vases and various homewares like soap and candles, she also paints the base of Nantucket Lightship Baskets, including those made by Dan Bresnihan. Recently, Jeanne released a new collection of machine-washable cotton fabrics called The Nantucket Collection. We can’t help but favor the cobblestone
design, though the Lightship Basket is charming, too. She chose to go more modern with these designs, reacting to what she is seeing in interior design on the island. She also found a company that prints with 100% plant-based biodegradable inks that are certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard, and since it is digitally printed, it can come in any colorway.

JEANNE VAN ETTEN FABRICS
PURE BODY NANTUCKET
Originally from Ireland, Ciara Fritsch has been on Nantucket for over 20 years. After years in hospitality, she returned to her roots in plant study and developed her own organic, plant-derived skincare line in 2016. Each and every product is researched, formulated, produced and personally bottled by Ciara on Nantucket to ensure quality and freshness. All the recipes are original, while each ingredient in her products is chosen for a specific reason to achieve noticeable results. She often employs essential oil blends to create gorgeous aromas to allow for a particularly self-indulgent experience during application. Her Nourishing Body Oil and Lip Conditioner are often the most popular gifts for the holidays. The Nourishing Body Oil contains camellia, avocado and almond oil, which keeps the skin hydrated during the winter, while the antioxidant-rich formula in the Lip Conditioner protects and has a deliciously soothing blend of skin-softening, plant-based ingredients.

ISLAND WEAVES
Karin Ganga Sheppard grew up on Nantucket and was fascinated by the weavers at Nantucket Looms. After college, she, too, became a weaver at the Looms and worked there for 20 years. In 2000, Karin formed Island Weaves, specializing in hand-woven, signature silk, alpaca or mohair throws. Favorites include her “Island Wedding Shawl,” which is made of 100% silk and comes in multiple colors, and her “Madaket Mall Mats,” woven from recycled towels, jeans and khaki pants. Our favorite is the mat made from recycled Nantucket Reds that she finds at the dump— can’t get more local than that. LEARN MORE AT

DRIFTAWAY SOAP
Made entirely from scratch and in small batches using the traditional cold process method, DriftAway’s original organic, plant-based and handmade soaps and candles are truly homegrown. The scents are developed by owner and soapmaker Chris Kardell in her on-island cottage’s kitchen, using racks and drying molds crafted by her carpenter husband. As she notes, there are no detergents, preservatives, palm oils, artificial colors or synthetic fragrances ever. Her soaps are earth-friendly, using olive, coconut or hempseed oils along with cocoa butter to ensure hydration and smooth scars and wrinkles. As the tagline notes, “just add water and drift away.” LEARN MORE AT

Rumi Sumaq means “beautiful stones” in Quechua, the indigenous language of Peru. From his art jewelry studio on Martha’s Vineyard, Peruvian-born designer Coco Paniora Salinas creates hand-woven art jewelry that pays homage to his Quechua ancestry. Using native weaving techniques in innovative ways, Coco incorporates metal and macramé with stunning stones, shells, fossils and other manifestations of our natural world.

MARTHA’S VINEYARD SEA SALT
Harvested by Down Island Farm husband and wife duo Heidi Feldman and Curtis Friedman, Martha’s Vineyard Sea Salt carries on the tradition of island settlers by solar evaporating Atlantic Ocean water to produce raw, natural salt. The result is flavorful briny crystals that are 100% local and contain zero “yucky stuff”—so say Heidi and Curt. Beyond just the regular flavor, the MV Sea Salts also come in various signature blends like Turmeric, Cranberry and White Pepper, which promises to curb inflammation, and Sumac, Paprika and Garlic, which utilizes locally harvested sumac. Other crowd pleasers include Smoked Oak, which is salt smoked over island oak, and Blueberry Honey, with added blueberries and freeze-dried honey. LEARN MORE AT

MIGNOT ST. BARTH
Yvan Mignot has jewelry-making in the blood. His parents, also local jewelers Maryvonne and Gérard Mignot, introduced their children to exotic and remote beaches around the world, teaching them how to collect shells, sea glass and stones that were suitable for jewelry. As a result, Yvan is not the only one of the children who has made jewelry-making his trade. It was Yvan, though, who first found St. Barths. Yvan’s line of bracelets and necklaces features Tahitian pearls, pebbles from the beach, sea glass, hammered 22k gold, uncut precious stones and clay beads strung together on hand-worked leather to create an individually crafted, sophisticated “bohemian look.” Every year Yvan travels to Tahiti with his family to the remote Tuamotus Islands of French Polynesia, where he carefully hand-picks the black pearls, just as he was taught years ago.

very piece that local woodturner Valerie Garnier creates comes E from native wood found on St. Barths, and no two pieces are alike, making them an ideal representation of the island’s natural beauty and signature personality. A true creative, Valerie doesn’t set out to make something specific when she starts a project. Instead, she begins with the raw product and lets the inspiration come to her as the shapes begin to show themselves. Her workshop in Camaruche is the best way to get a glimpse and purchase one of her beautiful bowls, plates, pens or sculptures, as well as at the Christmas market and weekly market at Pati St. Barth. Her husband, a carpenter, helps her with the chainsaw and setting the wood when it can be difficult to lift. facebook.com
RHUM LA GLORIETTE
For over 30 years, Albert Balayn, the Rhum Master of La Gloriette, a charming beach restaurant on Grand Cul de Sac that has since shuttered post-Irma, has been making homemade rum with the flavors of the Caribbean as his inspiration. One sip of a Gloriette Rum and you’re brought to the familiar palm tree and seaside venue. Making both amber and golden rums with ginger, passion fruit, coconut, banana, lemon, pineapple and coffee as his flavor points, the rums are as varied as they are delicious, appealing to everyone’s preference. Albert recommends drinking all the rums at room temperature except for Coco Rum, which is preferably served on ice. He also suggests adding any of his rums to a fruit salad—yum. Until he reopens on Grand Cul de Sac, you can purchase his rums at his daughter’s Café Gloriette or at the Marché U. LEARN MORE AT

COURTNEY DEVONISH WOOD SCULPTURES AND
STEPHEN MURPHY, ZEMI ART GALLERY
Courtney Orlando Devonish is a Barbados-born sculptor and potter whose wood, stone and clay work has earned him international acclaim. A resident of Anguilla for over 20 years, his work is showcased at the Devonish Art Gallery alongside his wife Carolle’s beadwork. Courtney studied abroad in both England and Italy to learn his master craft. Carolle’s beadwork was inspired by a trip to Kenya in the early ’90s, and today she still favors African beads.
A champion of the upcycle revolution, Stephen Murphy is an artist and a gallery owner featuring local artists on Redcliffe Quay in Antigua. Calabashes, driftwood, stone, sheet zinc, aluminum, compact discs, cutlery, shells and sea glass are all employed in his artwork. His recent sculpture, a brightly hued fish, even includes pieces of old microwave ovens. Stephen beachcombs, salvaging everything from abandoned surfboards, which he then paints, to sea glass, which becomes jewelry. Perhaps his best work, though, is with local young art students, where he teaches them to handpaint bright primitive designs on calabash bowls. According to Stephen, reclamation, culture and environmentalism are the keys to Zemi Art Gallery.

STOWE A painter, muralist and graphic designer, plus a new mom, Jess Graham is perhaps best known as the artist behind the beloved Alchemist Brewery brand designs. Her artistic philosophy is one of joy, as she declares on her website: “I believe in art that makes you happy. Not happy in a forced or saccharine way, but the sort of happy that reaches-your-soul-makes-youlove-waking-up-in-the-morning.” Her images are colorful, multilayered and downright fun. Her designs can also be seen in local spots like Cork Wine Bar and at the Stowe Mountain Resort, while her prints are for sale on her Etsy store. JESS GRAHAM, ARTIST

In 2004, KEP Designs first opened on Manhattan’s Upper East Side with owner Kelley King introducing her simple, fresh jewelry designs, using semiprecious stones. Instant hits with the preppy set, Kelley continued to innovate with the design of her first custom clasp—the now signature “Tulip.” In the fall of 2014, Kelley and her family moved to Stowe, where KEP continues to design modern classics. Recently, she introduced the Switcheroo Collection, based on her travels to Nantucket and the Bahamas, which allows for multiple base designs to her signature beach ball stud, allowing the wearer to go from casual to festive in seconds. And, as Kelley notes, “It answers the need for a more versatile and casual Stowe-style earring.” KELLEY KING, KEP DESIGNS

Sea Memory
The Sea Memory boutique in downtown Gustavia is like stepping into a decadent cabinet of curiosities, inspired by the sea of course. Luxurious handmade objets d’art line the shop walls while sea coral sculptures perch atop custom furnishings. Run by the Lacour family since 1997, Sea Memory offers both imported and local, made-to-order items using favored materials from the sea such as mother-of-pearl and shagreen. Every two years, father and son Edouard Lacour debut a new furniture line noted for its modern lines and nod to Art Deco. Their signature piece is a stunning parlor casino game, while custom orders for furnishings, accessories and jewelry adorned in shagreen are common. From gorgeous stone-encrusted shagreen bracelets to leather handbags, silver home accessories and even shagreen animal sculptures, the shop truly grabs the high-end aesthete and tantalizes the tactile shopper with its multi-material items. For those eager for something truly exceptional and individual from St. Barths, look no further. LEARN MORE AT

ANU
Coco Shop
Founded in Antigua in 1949 by siblings Pat Starr and Amos Morrill, Coco’s central ethos is to give local artists a place to sell their work. THE SHOP’S SIGNATURE PRINTED COTTON CLOTHING ,
made on island, was quickly treasured, and the business grew to two island stores—one on St. Mary’s Street in St. John’s and the other in the island’s airport, both of which they maintained for 60 years. Locals considered the company their own and travelers sought out their high-quality clothing, each piece the result of collaboration among many hands, which made it truly representative of the island. Two years ago, Coco Shop formally closed its doors, but was reopened recently by Taylor Simmons with the same mission: to support Antiguan artists. With the relaunch, Simmons was keen to retain Coco Shop’s best elements, while also adapting to today’s retail landscape. As a result, all the silhouettes have been updated, but the same washable cotton fabrics remain and the prints are the very same that were hand-drawn for the company back in the ’50s and ’60s. The other core priority was to move production back to Antigua, where, as of November, it now resides, bearing the distinct “Sewn in Antigua” label. LEARN MORE AT

Gift & Box According to owner Kate Ortega, a maker herself, Gift & Box Nantucket was founded out of the desire to help people understand the importance of their purchasing power. The idea was to create a store filled with handmade goods created by people with a passion for what they do and a love for each product they make. The aim is to help buyers learn about and support the small businesses and families behind these handmade goods. As a result, 100% of the store’s merchandise is handmade, each item personally vetted by Kate to ensure the goods are high quality, handmade and ethically sourced. Items range from ceramics (the Nantucket stoneware mug is a favorite) to leather bags to soap and stationery. The shop also creates custom gift boxes featuring various items from the store.

With its own trademark brand, the ACK 4170 logo, designed by Fairgrieve, can be seen emblazoned on coastal favorites like canvas boat totes, etched glassware and charcuterie boards.

Limin’ Boutique After visiting Anguilla 27 times, Ken and Renee Reinl, owners of the sixyear-old Limin’ Boutique, knew the island was where they wanted to carry out their dreams. Coming from healthcare and ice hockey arena management backgrounds, they also knew they had a lot to learn in order to achieve success. They taught themselves the backbone of the retail business, in addition to importing, exporting and marketing on a small island, understanding customs and duty regulations, visual merchandising and sourcing, along with custom designing unique one-of-a-kind gifts. Recently, they expanded their homemade line to be able to accommodate large corporate requests for their signature jewelry and accessories made from the sands of the 33 beaches of Anguilla, sail totes and wine bags, and holiday ornaments hand painted by local artists, while a new location on Meads Bay promises to inspire even further growth.

She also paints on private commission. Inspired every day by the beauty of the island’s nature, fauna and color palette, even after 23 years, Veronique is busy creating new designs such as the plane landing in St. Jean (a favorite of ours, of course) as well as an anti-stress coloring book for adults.

ARTISANAL FESTIVALS Our Beloved New England Artisanal Festivals and Art Centers What originally began as a bequest from Helen Day Montanari with the support of her partner, Dr. Marguerite Lichtenthaeler, to create an art center and a library in 1980 and give it to the Stowe Historical Society, the Helen Day Art Center was actually created by saving the old high school building from demolition. A phoenix rising, the HDAC, as it’s casually known today, is “a platform for dialogue and engagement through the visual arts,” says Executive Director Rachel Moore. The center creates world-class exhibitions for both residents and visitors alike and provides progressive programming and an active education program. The goal, says Moore, is to be accessible to all and provide a place for creative thinking, making and community engagement. An essential source for local artists, the HDAC also hosts an annual Members’ Art Show that showcases local artists’ and artisans’ works. As Moore notes, “There is an exceptionally robust local arts and culture community relative to the size of the town. People are very engaged in the arts, and there’s a range of artists working from craft to contemporary fine art throughout the area.” We couldn’t agree more. HELEN DAY ART CENTER | MVL

SUSTAINABLE NANTUCKET | ACK
As with any small community, in order for it to thrive, it must rely on the support of one another. And on Nantucket, that reality is evidenced by Sustainable Nantucket’s events such as their weekly Farmers and Artisans Market, which runs every Saturday from early June to mid-October, and their annual Thanksgiving show. The idea behind these events was not only to support and strengthen the island’s traditional industry of agriculture with the farmers, but also to support the local economy and encourage entrepreneurs; to help keep downtown vital and to enhance the island’s experience of community, as their website notes. It’s exactly what local communities need to survive, and Sustainable Nantucket stays firm to this concept by ensuring that all vendors are seasonal or year-round residents of Nantucket, and that all goods sold are grown or produced on the island. The Thanksgiving show is a surefire spot to load up on one-of-a-kind locally made gifts. LEARN MORE AT

In addition to sponsoring the annual festivals, the Vineyard Artisans also offer a Vineyard Artisans Scholarship Fund, which awards several scholarships to graduating Martha’s Vineyard High School students for studies in the arts each year.

Craig Mooney is a Renaissance man, an artist who has worked as a landscape and figurative painter primarily in oils on canvas, as well as an illustrator and filmmaker. His attention to light detail and the ability to tap into his imagination are what set him apart. His transporting treatment of the sky is particularly alluring and characteristic. Mooney’s depth of color is profound, creating a thought-provoking depiction of even a familiar landscape. A current Vermont resident, though a New York City native, Mooney is known for depicting what he sees out his studio window, but under his brush a mysterious veneer is added, leaving interpretation to the viewer.
As a painter who paints both cityscapes and landscapes, which do you find more challenging? They both can be challenging—for different reasons usually. I try to make all my work nonspecific; with cityscapes I want to create the notion of being in a city but not necessarily New York. I grew up in Midtown Manhattan, so recognizable buildings such as the Chrysler are so familiar to me it can be challenging to render a silhouette of a skyscraper without in some way referencing it. Landscapes can be challenging, especially winter ones, because I want them to be compelling in some way. Dramatic skies and the chiaroscuro effects of light are ways I try to accomplish this, but there are paintings where those elements are not present, and that can be challenging.
Do you paint from a photograph? It depends on the painting but usually no. And if I do it’s usually to reference something that I’m unfamiliar with. Most paintings come from my imagination. I feel the urge to paint something and it goes on its own journey to completion, and sometimes I feel like I’m just along for the ride.
How do you choose your locations? I don’t paint en plein air—but if I am planning a show in Maine or Martha’s Vineyard, for example, I spend time there. Living and working close to the source has its advantages.
Your gallery presence is far and wide. Can you tell us about the memory of first being “signed” or really making it? My first gallery was in Stowe, Vermont. That in turn led to my first major gallery in Boston. After that it got kind of crazy, adding New York, Atlanta, Laguna Beach and London. At one point I had over 20 galleries representing me across the US and several consultants. I had to learn to manage them, while being able to create work. I still have quite a few, but I think one great memory I had was with my first London gallery, Enid Lawson Fine Art. Typically I would ship
work over, but work was getting held up at customs, and after a painting got destroyed by mistake by the customs office, I decided to roll up the canvases into snowboard bags and bring them over myself. I still do that sometimes, and I had a laugh at one point when it looked like my work was going to be held up at customs again; dealing with the vagaries of being an international artist were sort of high-class problems. I didn’t complain.
Why the move to rural Vermont? Do you miss Manhattan? I had a studio in Long Island City and I was struggling for inspiration. I would spend hours looking at the Queensboro Bridge and traffic going in and out of Manhattan. Family had a business in Vermont and needed help. I thought I would just take a summer break from the city, but it turned into a permanent move. The beauty and quiet of Vermont allowed me to connect with my true artist self. I started painting the landscape outside my garage studio. I didn’t feel like I needed to compete with anyone like I did in the city. Art can be such a fragile thing. The background noise of a big city can overwhelm the senses and steer you off course. I still have the apartment where I grew up, and I’m usually there once every other month.
Are there colors that speak to you more than others? I love blue—obviously because I paint sky —but I love the range from cerulean to cobalt, manganese to Pthalo. I also love gray—the subtlest differences from warm tones to cool ones.
The sky does play a large role in many of your works; is there a reason? We lived on the 12th floor, and that’s not very high by NYC standards, but I had a nice view of the city that was constantly in flux. The old familiar skyline would disappear piece by piece every year, but the sky would remain. The sky, in all atmospheric conditions, is dynamic and it still fascinates me. I love the large structures created in cumulus clouds that are mere water vapor despite looking so

tangible. And I love storms—when the sky darkens and completely transforms everything in sight.
You’re teaching a class at the Helen Day Art Center in Stowe this November—is it your first class? If not, what is it that you like about teaching or don’t like? I have never taught a class at this level before. I had done some small workshops but nothing with adults. I had been asked to do them throughout the years, but I felt that what I did wasn’t teachable. I am basically self-taught, meaning I’m not doing things as a classically trained artist would do them. But I did rethink that. What I realized that I could do was help artists work conceptually by showing how I would solve a problem or how I would approach a subject. I also opened up the workshop to basically all media, so it wouldn’t be just oil painters focusing on technique. For this class we are going to focus on the process of using one’s imagination to create a painting.
Is there a painter in everyone? Maybe. I think there is an artist in everyone, and that can be as simple as how someone lives their life. Being a painter is a little bit more involved, but we all painted as kids. We all colored and drew without pretense. As we grew we mostly lost the fun of it—the simple act of creating. But I believe it’s never too late to reconnect with that. LEARN MORE

CONTROL TOWER | WOODWORKER ZACH PINERIO
Photos by Chandler Cook
A carpenter since his early twenties, year-round Chappaquiddick resident Zach Pinerio has an affinity for trees. As he notes on his website, his home and sole source of material, the island of Martha’s Vineyard, has a limited yet historically relevant amount of them. He believes that through his fastidious milling, drying and finishing process, the island trees take on a new life. His. As anyone who has admired a piece from Chappaquiddick Wood Company knows, the beauty is self-evident, as is the feel of history in your hands. Drawn to his careful and locally sourced work, we sat down with this special artisan to learn more.
What attracted you to woodworking initially?
What types of trees do you favor on island?
Woodturning is one of the only woodworking processes where you go from tree to finished product, and that process has always been really attractive to me. Not having to go to the lumber yard to pick up wood has always been a dream, and the sawmill makes that a reality. No two trees are alike, and that’s what makes milling your own wood so interesting. There are many days where I’ll be milling two maple trees from different parts of the island that are completely different in grain and figure.
I love the sycamore maple. It’s probably the most common tree I use. We have a ton of it on island. Most of Main Street in Edgartown is sycamore maple, planted after a major hurricane in the ’30s.
Have you always lived on Martha’s Vineyard? If not, when and how did you come ashore? I have not. I spent summers here growing up, and I’ve always been looking for an excuse to move to Chappaquiddick full time. I spent a lot of time apprenticing a cabinetmaker and working in a production bowl shop in Vermont until I realized I could branch out on my own. Around that same time I landed a property management job on Chappaquiddick. I loved the process of making bowls, so I started putting together a small-scale shop my first winter on Chappy. It grew slowly from there.
We’ve heard that owners will ask you to mill trees from their properties that they have to cut down. What is the timeline for something like that? From cut down to finished product? Producing wooden bowls is an intentionally slow process. All of my bowls have a minimum of two months and usually much longer. Every bowl I make gets roughed out green or wet. Then I dry them in my wood kilns to drop the moisture content down to furnituregrade wood. The bowls that don’t crack in the kiln are finish turned, sanded and oiled. The kiln drying process ensures that you’re left with a bowl that will never crack, check or warp. As long as they’re taken care of, they will last longer than me. So it’s an intentionally slow process, but once finished you’re left with a piece of the island that can be handed down generations.
I also love the white ash. The way it glows is incredible. Sugar maple is probably my favorite though. When I’m milling it in the field, the honeybees come out and coat themselves in the sawdust. And then when it’s in the kilns, my shop smells like a candy store. It’s also way more dense than most of the other wood I mill. The sugar maple bowls have a great weight to them.
Tell us about a specifically beautiful object you’ve produced and from what type of tree. That’s a hard question. Recently I’ve been working with this dark maple that’s been really incredible. Dark maple isn’t really a thing in nature. It just happened that this one tree came out completely black. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime tree from the West Tisbury area of the island. I like to think I’m always improving and always finding new and interesting trees to work with. Every year I get to mill a new batch of trees, and finding new and interesting figure or grain patterns is like finding buried treasure. That’s what makes all of my bowls so unique. Because everything is so limited on this island, I might be working with tree species right now that I’ll never get the chance to work with again.
What’s in store for Chappaquiddick Wood Company? Right now I’m focused on making bowls and wood products that people can use daily. I just bought a farmhouse on Chappy that was built in 1830; it’s called Whale Jaw Farm. I’ll have my hands tied up for a while fixing the house, but long term I will be building a proper barn and small showroom here on the farm. I want to provide a space on Chappy where people can come out and have a tour and see the woodturning process firsthand. LEARN MORE

After devastating Hurricane Irma pummeled St. Barths and resulted in the two-year closure of one of the island’s most iconic properties, the time has finally come for the unveiling of the much-anticipated Eden Rock 2.0. If you’re familiar with Eden Rock and its distinct chic and guest-first philosophy, then it’s no surprise to you that the hotel found a silver lining to the destruction and painted it a bright glossy red, complete with 37 guestrooms and suites totally redesigned in a new colonial-chic style with an emphasis on public spaces to enhance the guest experience. A brand-new Sand Bar restaurant will open right along the beach and serve from breakfast through dinner, still helmed by the illustrious Jean-Georges. With so much to unveil, the master behind the scenes this whole time, General Manager Fabrice Moizan, has had his hands full, but despite the stress he has led the team with his signature style and grace. We sat down with him to share what this reopening journey was like and what it has meant for him.

THE HANGAR | THE RETURN OF THE ROCK
First, can you bring us back to those fateful days in September 2017 when Irma bore down on the island? The event will remain one of the most challenging moments both in my career and personal life. It was intense and difficult, but mostly it was a strong human experience. I will never forget the solidarity that followed this catastrophe. Within a couple of hours after the storm moved away, people were already starting to clear wreckage and clean their properties. Days later people were voluntarily helping the police and fire brigade to clear the roads and secure exposed electric cables. Also, at the hospital and care center, there were volunteers to provide support to the professionals who were working round the clock. We were all in the same position—without running water, electricity or communications—but what we all remember to this day is the kindness of people we might not have known before. The spirit of community and solidarity was extraordinary.
What was the most devastating element of the hurricane’s destruction to the hotel? First and foremost, the objective was taking care of the collaborators, once we were sure that our team was safe and sound. Then came the time of auditing the damages: the whole property was extensively damaged, not so much by the violent winds as by the waves’ height, reaching up to 12 meters, despite the precautions taken prior to this meteorological event. Almost instantly, it was acknowledged that the hotel would remain closed for the festive and winter season 2018.
When and why did you decide to alter the interior look and feel of the property upon rebuild? I think just a few days after the hurricane, we went to the property with David Matthews, Eden Rock’s owner, to pause and reflect on the moment. Together, we saw an opportunity to do more than just
PAGE 40 | GOODSPEED MAGAZINE
repair, but rather to make Eden Rock stronger and, in particular, capable of recovering its shape faster following any future storms. And at the same time to do stuff that we had always hoped to do one day by working harder in a limited amount of time, to become more attractive to guests and more efficient than ever before. Following our motto, “so much more than just a hotel,” a new vision for Eden Rock was put in place and work commenced.
Why were you unable to open last year? Our initial plan was to reopen on December 22, 2018, with a partial inventory of rooms and suites available and with the intention that we would close again for a second phase of work to complete the rebuild from June 2019 to December 2019. We worked relentlessly to revive and rebuild Eden Rock – St Barths and welcome back our dearest guests and friends as soon as possible. But post-Irma repercussions resulted not only in delayed deliveries from the US and Europe due to the sheer quantity of work going on across the French West Indies, but also the saturated main local harbors. Technical issues caused by the hurricane which could not have been anticipated also emerged, alongside the shortage of construction manpower on the island. Despite our efforts and our unrelenting determination to bring the Rock back to life in time for the 2018 season, we realized that we would not be able to welcome our guests in the proper Eden Rock conditions, of which we are so proud.
What kept the momentum going toward the rebuild? The reaction of our guests without a doubt! They showed so much comprehension and support. It was truly our main motivation for the entire Eden Rockers team. Some of them decided to come to St. Barths anyway and stay in our ERVR villas, for example; allowing us to meet them and see their familiar faces was heartwarming.

THE HANGAR | THE RETURN OF THE ROCK
What is one of the things you are most proud of in this updated version of Eden Rock? I am very proud of how we got here to the renewed Eden. It was a team effort. Full-on analytical discussions between staff members of different departments of the hotel have been implemented, and we’ve taken this long moment of hotel closure not only to rebuild the property, but also to study each moment of our clients’ life at Eden Rock and see if we can do our part better. Each tiny detail, each idea was pursued. Generally speaking, each area of the hotel is being built as a living space where the magic happens and where good memories will be created. With more-or-less new everything, actually. The remade Eden Rock – St Barths is a better version of itself, keeping in mind its unique history and heritage. We cannot wait to show it to you.
What are three of the elements you are most excited for repeat clients to see or do with this version of the property? Everything is brand-new and the result of two years of research into every detail, so apart from all the new features and décor, the property has been redesigned for gathering—so public spaces are my favorite. If I have to choose three new things, they would be: 1. The Eden Spa: This will be a first for the hotel to have a dedicated spa; the atmosphere and treatment will be unique and will be provided by local brand Ligne St Barths. 2. The new Rémy Bar, the heart of the hotel, inspired by its heritage and first owner Rémy de Haenen, and featuring a lot of fun and cocktail therapy as we like to envision it. 3. Finally, the Eden Being Boutique. It is part of the experience; our discerning guests are hard to surprise, and we have really put a lot of effort into creating surprising collaborations and
pieces that will only be found at the property, carefully selecting each brand that really made sense to us and that were able to offer something more to our international clientele.
You are unveiling three new suites in the redesign. What will set them apart from others? We are building three new suites on top of the Rock; they will be named after the owner’s family: Jane, Pippa and Vogue. To make it short: the view sets them apart, and the privacy will be unique. Overlooking the bay, allowing guests to watch the small planes landing on the field and the sunsets over the island.
What is one thing about the “new look” that you are hopeful clients will take away after their stay? For Eden Rock’s renewed décor and design, we found inspiration in the St. Barths heritage of our buildings, as well as from the original family-informal and amiable atmosphere of the place. We have sourced antiques and heritage pieces, also working with some bespoke makers of furniture in France, Italy and the UK. They have been exciting collaborations, and some art pieces can even be purchased and brought back home. All this to create a familiar atmosphere, and we are just hopeful that it will continue to be their home away from home.
Given St. Barths is spoiled with wonderful places to stay, what is something you tell prospective clients that sets Eden Rock apart from the others both before the hurricane and now after? Eden Rock – St Barths has always offered a unique spirit, a blend of Rock and chic and a touch of Eden and glamour. This unique mix is part of the spirit of the place. Add to that its location in the heart of the island, and you get why Eden Rock is different. FESTIVE 2019 | PAGE 43
