The East Hampton Historical Society Presented Design Luncheon With Interior Designer Alex Papachristidis

On Thursday, August 8, the East Hampton Historical Society presented acclaimed interior designer Alex Papachristidis at the eighth annual Design Luncheon, held at the Maidstone Club in East Hampton.

A sold-out crowd was enthralled as Papachristidis profiled a variety of his most arresting projects from his recent book, “The Elegant Life: Rooms That Welcome and Inspire.” Projects included a luxe, modern beach house decorated in gold, silver, and white; a Manhattan home with a vivid lavender-and-blue palette; and a colorful “bohemian” apartment incorporating mid-century furniture. Each project presented creative ways to make spaces versatile and inviting to share with friends and family.

The Design Luncheon was made possible in part by the support of Wilmington Trust, and Doyle Auctioneers and Appraisers. Attendees included Doris Meister, recently retired CEO of Wilmington Trust, and Doyle CEO, Laura Doyle, Sarah Wetenhall, Event Co-Chair, as well as Host Committee members, such as Lizzi Bickford Meadow, Catherine Carey, Brent Feigenbaum, Susan Kendall, Kathleen Kirschgaessner, Elizabeth Munder, Amy Tarr, Diane van Amerongen, and Marshall Watson.

Proceeds from the Design Luncheon enable the East Hampton Historical Society to preserve its nationally significant historical sites and develop innovative educational programs serving thousands of children and families.
