The new retail concept destination, one, has opened on the corner of Main Street and Newtown Lane (1 Main Street) in East Hampton on May 29. Conceived as an open-ended space for brand, artist, designer, and artisan pop-ups under one curated umbrella, one is a 5,000 square foot luxury marketplace across two floors that will showcase the newest and brightest, values-driven creators in fashion, accessories, jewelry, interiors, print media, and art.
Founded by entrepreneur Julianna Teeple, one rethinks the brick and mortar retail experience as a dynamic and immersive platform that is tailored towards discovery and bespoke client services. A new exclusive partnership, one x Artsy, will debut an inaugural in-person outpost for the leading global online art marketplace, providing seamless digital access to the one x Artsy curation of artworks.
A robust program of events will round out the one experience, with artist talks and book signings alongside trunk shows and capsule collections showcasing one’s signature wide array of creative talents.
“In our era of increasing online shopping and the decline of many multi-brand luxury retailers, one fills the void for clients looking to discover new brands, talents, and trends in person,” said Teeple. “Brick and mortar shopping is a changing industry and an activity optimized by experiential elements that cannot fully be achieved online. My goal has been to structure a business that is built for the future — one that can withstand the sales and cost pressures faced by all physical retail — yet is built to survive thanks to its ability to deliver uniquely in-person experiences. Particularly in this moment, when we’ve all been stuck at home and behind screens for a year, one is a destination and an experience of discovery for all five senses that we are so excited to share with East Hampton.”
one x Artsy will feature a curated array of artworks by emerging and established artists, available exclusively at one and Artsy. The inaugural exhibition of artworks by emerging New York City artists, “New York Rising,” features paintings, works on paper, and photography from some of NYC’s most up-and-coming artists.
“Artsy helps millions of people discover and acquire art by the world’s leading artists through our industry leading mobile app and online marketplace,” said Artsy CEO Mike Steib. “Our partnership with one is a natural extension of our brand and an exciting opportunity to physically bring Artsy to the Hamptons, a historic destination for some of the world’s most renowned artists.”
The art program at one will also support philanthropic arts organizations with a presentation of artist designed surfboards by Parley for the Oceans and a selection of artist-designed products by Art Production Fund.
Brand partnerships across the categories of fashion, jewelry, and home include Anna Mason, Indi, Vanessa Bruno, NYMåNE, Thief and Heist, Albertus Swanepoel, Amanu Studio, Haight, Krewe, Estelle Colored Glass, Roll & Hill, Saved NY, Studio Proba, Wilcoxson Brooklyn Ceramics and a curated selection of vintage denim by Display Copy.
Iconic local brands include Cynthia Rowley and Malia Mills, and Social Studies will debut exclusive partner same-day rentable picnic kits. one will also partner with Import News for a dedicated print shop featuring rare titles from around the world, as well as international art, fashion, and design publications.
