Incollect Magazine 49 EAST HAMPTON FAMILY COMPOUND, NEWYORK The living room of the main house in an East Hampton family compound featuring bold, sculptural furniture forms and a warm, sunny color palette. The sofas are by Vladimir Kagan, whose instantly recognizable designs featuring his iconic sculptural swoops and seductive curves have made him one of the most well-known and well- loved American furniture designers. The vintage side tables are also by Vladimir Kagan. The armchair and ottoman are by interior designer William “Billy” Haines, who decorated the homes of Hollywood royalty from the 1930s to the 1970s, including Joan Crawford and Gloria Swanson, as well as Walter and Lenore Annenberg’s “Sunnylands” estate and homes for Ronald and Nancy Regan and Betsy Bloomingdale. A contemporary co ee table contrasts finishes in walnut veneer, lacquer and brass with biomorphic tiers that bring to mind T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings’ 1952 “Mesa” co ee table. On display are a few of the owner’s collection of contemporary glass artworks: the blue cast glass piece is A Tall Vertical Sculpture by Colin Reid, and the co ee table holds a blown glass vessel with canework, Nest Bowl by Tobias Møhl.
