Overview

Intimate views into 20 houses by celebrity interior designers that define Hamptons style now. This follow-up volume to the wildly successful Designing the Hamptons- Portraits of Interiors (2006) provides rarified glimpses into the private homes of America's most celebrated coastal retreat. Luxurious photography and a generous format present contemporary homes decorated by today's top interior designers including Jonathan Adler, John Barman, Michael Haverland, Thad Hayes, Tony Ingrao, Todd Merrill, Roman & Williams, and Joe d'Urso. A range of projects, from postage-stamp-sized cottages to enviable estates in a predominantly modern vocabulary, show the best of Hamptons design today. Interiors display a carefully curated blend of traditional references with cutting-edge architecture and fantastic art collections, and all are finished by the land's famous light and ocean views. In some houses a sense of calm pervades and cozily appointed dining terraces with neutral color schemes look out over peaceful docks, while in others bright accessories and outsize outdoor fireplaces point to frequent and exuberant pool parties. In every case the design respectfully references the area's rich history. This volume will inspire everyone who aspires to summer in the Hamptons, and provides plenty of design ideas for anyone with a beachside home of his or her own as well.

Every year there are at least one or two books that seek to capitalize on the 'Hamptons style.' They can often be expensive and hollow affairs, produced chiefly for last-minute purchases at BookHampton for a host or hostess gift. Design in the Hamptons isn't one of those books. Imperfections take the rooms off of the pages of overly styled magazine layouts to favor the natural environment and ever-changing climates of the region. The fantasy that one could enter any one of these rooms is palpable and their minimal, primarily modernist feel is clean and unfussy, even in the more traditional structures. It is a casual style that is in no way unstylish, but not stuffy either. It is hard not to be inspired by them. -- The East Hampton Star The beautifully illustrated volume appeals to our voyeuristic and inspiration-searching minds--featuring photographs of 19 private homes, many of which belong to their designers themselves. Iannacci talks about how people are now cherishing what land they have, making careful decisions and using it wisely. The book is a pleasure both to read and flip through. There's variety and contrast, both within the homes themselves and from one project to another. -- Dan's Papers

A refreshing, divergent look at luxurious residences that stand apart from the typical megamansions. --Library Journal Every year there are at least one or two books that seek to capitalize on the 'Hamptons style.'
