Hamptons Social joined guests at 6 Windy Hill Lane in Bridgehampton for the opening of Holiday House Hamptons: The Summer Table, the latest summer presentation from Holiday House founder Iris Dankner. Set inside a newly built Hamptons residence, the event invited some of the design world’s most celebrated talents to create imaginative tablescapes and entertaining moments throughout the home, offering guests a fresh take on the traditional designer showhouse and plenty of inspiration for summer entertaining.
The opening brought together a notable crowd from the worlds of design, philanthropy and the Hamptons social scene. Iris Dankner was joined by event co-chairs Campion Platt and Andrea Stark, design chairs Preston Bailey and Vicente Wolf, and philanthropy chair Jean Shafiroff, along with participating designers and supporters of Holiday House.
Rather than transforming individual rooms, participating designers were invited to create distinctive tablescapes and entertaining moments throughout the home, each offering its own interpretation of summer entertaining in the Hamptons.
Participating designers included Ally Coulter Designs + Versace Home, Andrea Stark, ARTE, Ciuffo Cabinetry, COC Interiors + Current Home, Collette Home, Duggan Society, Eichholtz LI by Archive V, Fiorello Designs, FZ Collection by Felicia Zwebner, Helen Bergin Interiors, Laura Michaels Design, Lozano Jolas Interiors, Maiia Vilhelmsons, Phyllis Borak and Riese Design. Together, their installations transformed the residence into a collection of imaginative settings centered around gathering, hospitality and summer living.
The evening also continued the philanthropic mission at the heart of Holiday House. Founded by Dankner, a breast cancer survivor, Holiday House brings the design community together to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. Proceeds from The Summer Table benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the Ellen Hermanson Foundation.
With an impressive mix of designers, philanthropists and Hamptons guests in attendance, the opening offered a fitting celebration of the East End in August—bringing together beautiful design, summer entertaining and an important cause.
Holiday House Hamptons: The Summer Table is open to the public through August 30, Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., at 6 Windy Hill Lane, Bridgehampton, New York 11932.
