Drawn to the Light: The New Parrish

January 10, 2013 by Susan Bednar Long Leave a Comment

The incomparable Hamptons light has bewitched artists (and designers) for decades and I was intrigued to see how the great Herzog & de Meuron would harness it in their pastoral-chic design for the new Parrish Art Museum.

Clearly they got the memo.  Using organic materials to evoke the East End’s iconic peaked roofs and shingled farmhouses, the architects conjured a vast, open structure flooded with natural light. Skylights run the full length of the building and window walls at the north and south underscore the grand theme of Art and Nature.

After over 100 years in an increasingly cluttered Italianate mansion, the new Parrish offers a far more worthy showcase to its mind-blowing permanent collection.  Their roster of American Masters includes William Merritt Chase and Fairfield Porter, midcentury luminaries Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, Jackson Pollock and Dan Flavin, and living legends Chuck Close, April Gornik, Elizabeth Peyton, and Eric Fischl.  As I type, I am mentally planning my summer visit.  Until then, a little tribute to my favorite artists of the East End:

Welcome!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by design and the subtle impact of our surroundings. Some of my earliest influences still resonate – I think of the dark woods and textured lodens of my father’s shooting club, the smell of fresh paint on a new canvas, and the bold symmetry of the Philip Johnson Glass house just down the street. For me, it was a natural path to become an Interior Designer. I love what I do. I’ve created this Blog to share my thoughts, finds and design inspirations. I hope you enjoy it!

We designed each bedroom at @lemasdespoiriers to h We designed each bedroom at @lemasdespoiriers to have its own personality. This one is tucked in the back hallway and is a great combination of sage green and soft blues pulling from the @lamaisonpierrefrey floral.  My favorite design detail is the custom painted lines along the baseboard that continues around the interior doorways adding a layer of color to compliment the fabrics.  #FrançaisFriday
