2013 Hamptons Designer Showhouse
Bridgehampton, NY, United States
Architecture and Interior Design come together to create an Art Space in a modernist interpretation of Hamptons Beach Style
Dale Cohen of dale cohen designstudio approached her room on the terrace level of this year’s Hampton Designer Showhouse with her architectural eye and interior design sensibility. Originally trained as a painter and photographer prior to her undergraduate and graduate schooling in architecture, she knew she needed to change the way the occupant would not only use the space but also view her room.
The raw space, designated a sitting room, has only one wall with three egresses into other rooms. Dale addressed the architectural unevenness of the room by designing a scrim that defuses the staircase.
Dale has always felt that beautiful artwork is important in a space, so her first call was to artist John Houshmand. She was looking to John to collaborate with her for a large sculptural object to animate her room. Their collaboration took form in Monumental Lantern made of woven, razor thin microslabs of wood converging with the iridescent cast of frosted acrylic. While massive in size, the lantern achieves an air of lightness and appears to float, especially when lit.
The other art pieces were chosen equally for their visual interest and color statement. Dale worked with Art + Interiors in selecting graphically strong images that add to but never overpower the space. Behind the scrim and viewed by people walking down the staircase are three wire sculptures that appear to float in suspension.
Dale Cohen’s sitting room is grounded in the Hamptons blue and white beach interiors of the past but altered with a modernist sensitivity to form and function. Through architectural sensibilities of scale and space combined with the designer’s passion for quiet layering, she has instilled a welcoming sense of the beach into her sitting room at the 2013 Hamptons Designer Showhouse. As she says, “the room is about art that happens to be a wonderful place to repose, reflect and recharge.”
