FAIRVIEW FARMS'
Henry Ludlow talks sustainability and the uniqueness of farming by the sea.
Nestled in the heart of the East End, Fairview Farms has been a cornerstone of the local agricultural community for generations. What began as a wholesale potato farm has evolved into a cherished destination for locals and visitors alike, offering a bustling farmstand and iconic corn maze since 2001. But the farm’s roots run far deeper. In the 1870s, the land was first farmed by the current owners’ ancestors, and their family home—originally known as the Fairview House—was moved from Sagaponack in 1917. With horses pulling the house across frozen winter fields, the family established their home here, a portion of which still stands today, while the other remains at its original site on Sagg Main Street. Open from early spring through the New Year, Fairview Farms continues to be a place where history, tradition, and community come together.
On a crisp September day, I sat across from Harry at a picnic table outside his white farmhouse. Fall was in the air outside, while inside, his wife Barbara was busy in the kitchen preparing turkey pot pie and keeping an eye on their two-year-old grandson. A playlist featuring
James Taylor softly played in the background, setting the perfect tone for an afternoon of conversation about the land, its bounty, and the philosophy behind the work Harry and his family have poured into Fairview Farms. Harry's approach to farming is as straightforward as it is thoughtful. “I don’t know why a lot of our stuff tastes so good,” he says, with a modest shrug. “We don’t do anything special, but we are fortunate in the location that we’re in with the microclimate, near the ocean, which lends for cool breezes in the summer, where it’s very rare for the temperature to get over 80 degrees.” The cool breezes, he explains, make all the difference. “Vegetables and plants don’t do well for the most part when temperatures get to 85 degrees and above.” He draws an interesting comparison with the wine industry, noting that “California wine tends to have some sweetness that New York strives for. They get a lot of sun, more than New York. The consequence is California has wine that is sweeter, New York has wine with a higher acidity. Combine the two, and you’ve got something really nice. I suspect that helps our produce taste so good.” It’s this deep connection to the land that informs Harry’s approach to farming, one rooted in respect for nature’s rhythms. “Wide spread thousands of yards of compost across the farm every year. We rotate some of our crops very vigorously. We try not to go on the soil with any heavy machinery, particularly when there’s a high moisture content so it doesn’t compact the soil,” he explains.
His voice carries a sense of responsibility, a duty to the land that’s been in his family for generations. In the kitchen, this commitment to quality remains paramount. “We don’t spare any cost in order to find a better tasting product. If it costs more, we charge more,” he says matterof-factly. “Our goal is to have the best tasting products. The yield is relatively unimportant, the looks, although it has importance, is not the highest importance, the most important factor in all that we do, and all that we offer is taste and quality.” When it comes to sourcing, Harry emphasizes balance over dogma. “Local. There’s a lot of articles and perspectives on that. We don’t say, if it’s not local, we’re not going to sell it. We look for quality, so I’ll buy something from another part of the country because that’s what they’re doing. But I will prioritize local,” he says.
The climate, shaped by proximity to the ocean, presents unique challenges—and opportunities. “We do grow some things that wouldn’t ordinarily grow here—because we’re so close to the ocean we have a lot of humidity, we have fog later into the morning, we have an ideal climate for fungal growth, whereas in some parts of the town further north the air dries out faster.”
Harry’s perspective on sustainability extends beyond its environmental implications. He sees it as a holistic approach, intertwining economic
viability, responsible farming practices, and the long-term well-being of the community. “ With sustainability, I think if you ask 10 people what it means you would get 10 answers,” he says with a knowing smile. “One part must be—can we sustain this? Is the bottom line going to justify the energy that we’re putting in? In other words, economics plays into sustainability. At the same time, it takes passion for somebody to work long hours like we do. We don’t make a lot of money, but I don’t go to bed hungry and I have a roof over my head. We feed a lot of people, and animals."
And then there’s the bread. “One of the things that I do is I make bread. We’ve got multigrain bread. We grow wheat and rye in our fields and we mill it in our kitchen so we use that grain in our bread.” Harry’s bread has garnered a loyal following, especially for the challah. “For most of our clientele, they’re creative and open, so we choose a lot of different flavors because our customers ask for it. Raisin, whole wheat, olive and rosemary, jalapeño.”
Harry’s approach to farming, like his approach to bread, is simple yet deeply thoughtful. It’s about finding the right balance—between the land and its needs, between tradition and innovation, between the local and the broader marketplace. And at the heart of it all, as Harry continually reminds me, it’s about taste, quality, and passion.

INTERVIEW WITH WALTER SAVAGE, FOUNDER OF POST HOUSE
H STRENGTH & BALANCE
"Having someone to hold you accountable is one of the best things you could ever do, especially if you’re looking at the long game, and you're about health and wellness. We have such great people here, my team is amazing. I wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t for the people I’ve learned from and the people I have around."
Tell us about your Savage Body Class: "I designed Savage Body, and it took me a while. I’ve taken classes all throughout Manhattan, and one of the worst things is when you go to a class and get destroyed, and you feel like you’re getting a good workout but you’re really not. I put together a program that’s hypertrophy, cardio and strength training all in one. So you’re using bands for your upper and lower body, a light weight and a heavy weight. And I choreographed the whole thing to the beat of every single song. Every single one of my classes whether it’s rap or house, I want to do a rock n’ roll one but I haven’t yet - it’s to the beat. “We have such a great community already, and we just opened.”

"HAVING SOMEONE TO HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS YOU COULD EVER DO, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE LONG GAME, AND YOU'RE ABOUT HEALTH AND WELLNESS"
What do you see in the future for Post House: "Bringing wellness to the center of everybody’s routine. That’s what Post House is becoming and that’s my goal. This is a place to come when you need the inspiration. Eventually, the partnerships we would like to make to help people recover. Being able to help up to 40 people in an hour is cool, and then to see people walk out smiling and that coming here was the highlight of their day is amazing. This is my passion and what I love."

UNCOVERING HISTORY
ONE ARTIFACT AT A TIME | THE METAL DETECTING HISTORIANS OF LONG ISLAND
For Bob Beck and Peter Zegler, history isn’t just something you read about in books—it’s something you can hold in your hands, dug up from the rich soil of Long Island. Armed with metal detectors and a passion for uncovering the past, these two local historians have spent decades combing the fields and old homesteads of the East End, recovering pieces of history.
“We like to find the older homes, that’s where the history has been dropped. The undisturbed,” says Bob, reflecting on their shared philosophy. It’s in these untouched places, where time has quietly passed by, that the most significant finds often lie just a few inches beneath the surface. But their discoveries aren’t limited to metal—marbles, coal, shards of pottery, Native American arrowheads, and other non-metal artifacts are often unearthed in the process.
Construction sites are sometimes goldmines for potential discoveries, especially when old layers of soil are exposed. One of their most exciting recent finds came during the renovation of Herrick Park in East Hampton Village, where the team waited for the tennis and basketball courts to be removed, revealing untouched 18th-century soil beneath. Among their finds were flat buttons from the late 1600s and rose-head nails crafted by 18th-century “nailers,” who could forge up to 2,000 nails a day. A musket ball, likely lost by a hunter in the early 1700s, and a 1732 British halfpenny further revealed glimpses into the lives of those who walked the land centuries ago.
Birdgehampton Museum
When asked about the process of identifying and dating their finds, Bob says, “That’s the fun part. I mean, it’s fun getting it out of the ground, but I have just as much fun going home and researching.” The thrill of discovery is followed by the meticulous work of tracing the origins of each artifact. Every item tells a story, and for Bob, “That’s why I dig.”
The seasonal nature of their work also plays a role in their success. “It is somewhat seasonal,” Bob explains. “Farm fields used to be where I did a lot of hunting and found 90% of my items. You wait for them to plow, then you go out into the fields before they replant.” As Peter explains, “If we see somebody with a backhoe, we wanna know what’s going on.” The cooler months are often the best for metal detecting, as Peter notes, “The best time is fall, winter, and spring. The ground is actually more moist and soft. The more moisture you have in the ground, the more conducive the metal objects are.”
The Corwith House in Bridgehampton proudly displays a selection of historical artifacts found by Bob and Peter over the past 30 years, including tools, buttons, buckles, and horse tack. The team also creates custom shadow boxes to display the items they find for the property owner or museums, like those made for The Village of East Hampton and The Most Holy Trinity Church, offering people the chance to preserve a tangible piece of history.
Over the years, Bob and Peter have uncovered many personal treasures for families, often revealing forgotten pieces of family history from generational properties. In several cases, they’ve even found lost jewelry belonging to late relatives, items of great sentimental value that would have otherwise remained hidden. Their work has a personal touch that brings the past back to life, connecting today’s homeowners with the stories of those who came before.

THE SUITE LIFE AT THE LITTLE NELL
Of all the luxurious accommodations at The Little Nell, six stand out for their spacious footprint, chic style, mountain views, and private art collection. Known as the specialty suites, they also offer a nod to the town’s legacy as each one is named after an impactful person who shaped modern day Aspen.
Benedict Suite: Fritz Benedict studied architecture under Frank Lloyd Wright. During his time in Aspen, he designed more than 200 buildings in the area, establishing a style of modern architecture. This 1,250-square-foot, one-bedroom space in his name pays tribute to his aesthetic of clean lines, natural materials, and abundant light, designed as an open space embracing the environment outside, yet remaining highly personalized within.
Iselin Suite: Fred Iselin was a multihyphenate as a Swiss Army officer, an accomplished ski racer, an author, and the ski school director for Aspen Skiing Company. This 1,250-square-foot, one-bedroom space celebrates his embrace of The Aspen Idea, which embodies the integration of mind, body, and spirit.
Pfeifer Suite: Friedl Pfeifer was an Austrian ski racer who trained in the surrounding mountains with the 10th Mountain Division before WWII. He established the Aspen Ski School. A statue in Gondola Plaza commemorates his life’s adventure. In his spirit, two slopeside balconies on either side of the suite survey the Little Nell ski run. Inside, 2,000-square-feet of tranquil space with lavish details.
Paepcke Suite: This is the premier hotel suite in Aspen, and the hotel’s biggest. Walter Paepcke, visionary industrialist, imagined a center of mind, body, and spirit high in the Colorado Rockies. It was he and his wife Elizabeth who founded the Aspen Institute, Aspen Skiing Company and the Aspen Music Festival and School. This grand 2,500-square-foot, one-bedroom space has a sweeping private balcony opening to the base of the mountain.
Roch Suite: André Roch was a Swiss mountaineer and skiing champion who planned and surveyed Aspen Mountain. In a way, he was the man who mined the Ajax gemstone. This 1,250-squarefoot, one-bedroom space is also a gemstone in its own way. Simple, authentic elegance – and many shining facets.
Little Nell Suite: Named after a silver mine in the first days of Aspen, which itself was named for the protagonist in a Dickens novel revered by the miners. With wall-to-wall windows, and two wrap-around balconies, this 1,450-square-foot space is privately set back and illuminated with its vaulted ceilings.
HOW THE LITTLE NELL RANG IN THE NEW YEAR
Each year, The Little Nell hosts an extraordinary celebration to ring in the new year, and this year was no exception. Guests stepped into the glamour of Monte Carlo with The Dom Pérignon Party, featuring a Casino Royale theme for an unforgettable night. With bottomless Dom Pérignon and lively casino games, it was Aspen’s most spectacular New Year’s Eve event. The celebration continued the next morning with a luxurious St. Barth's-themed New Year's Day Brunch at Element 47, keeping the festive spirit alive.

WORDS
Salina Breer & Chris Dunaway
Chris Dunaway, raised in a small Kentucky town, discovered his passion for dining and wine through family gatherings featuring fresh ingredients from his grandparents' garden and homemade wine. Inspired by summers walking through his grandfather’s grapevines, Chris pursued a Bachelor of Arts at Transylvania University in Lexington before moving to New York City. There, he gained valuable experience working with top food and wine professionals, including chef Daniel Boulud. Joining The Little Nell in 2015, Chris passed the Level III Advanced Sommelier exam on his first attempt in 2016. He became Wine Director in 2019, leading an award-winning wine program and team.
“Wine is a great medium for accentuating the enjoyment of life”
AN INTERVIEW WITH CHRIS DUNAWAY, WINE DIRECTOR
Congratulations on being named “Colorado Sommelier of the Year” by the MICHELIN Guide! What does this recognition mean to you personally and for the wine program at The Little Nell?
"It’s a tremendous honor to be recognized by such an esteemed organization as Michelin and massive for our wine program. I’m floored with gratitude and incredibly excited that Michelin is in Colorado now. It’s going to completely transform the culinary and beverage landscape of Colorado in the years to come and bring much deserved recognition to our community. The award itself is massive for the hotel and largely a testament of our extraordinary team of sommeliers who help make this program what it is. I’m constantly impressed with their creativity and the level of excellence they provide to our guests’ experiences."
What can guests look forward to in the upcoming year from the wine offerings at The Little Nell or any exclusive events you may be planning?
"We’re constantly thinking of ways to evolve and we will certainly be posting soon our lineup of wine dinners and events in the coming weeks. I have a very exciting concept I’m working on for our Wine Bar that is sure to bring even more excitement to the property. I can’t say what it will be yet but I can tell you that it certainly leans into the space’s long history
as an après hot spot in Aspen. We’re bubbling with anticipation *wink*"
How do you think the unique atmosphere and culture of Aspen enhance the experience of enjoying wine, and why do you believe it’s such a special destination for wine lovers year round?
"Wine is a great medium for accentuating the enjoyment of life and people come to Aspen with a shared pursuit of that very enjoyment. Enjoyment of wine in Aspen is heightened in many ways by the environment of so many like-minded people coming together in this beautiful place that is bustling with memorable experiences to be had. Couple this with the ever evolving of our landscape favoring luxury and you create a place with an enriched interest in more nuanced and complex items like wine. Additionally, the abundance of fresh air and the altitude to an extent help enhance the taste of wine. I once hosted a world-famous sommelier and vigneron who proclaimed that wine just always tastes better in Aspen. In some ways I believe the altitude alters our perception of smell and taste. The air is cleaner and free of irritants that may otherwise diminish the experience of flavor and aroma. Additionally, due to the lower atmospheric pressure and less oxygen, wine tends to open up slower and more gradually once the cork is pulled, which is a huge benefit when enjoying wines with more age and thus evolution of complex flavor and aroma resulting from the aging process. Oxygen can often reduce the drinking window of enjoyment in excess so the altitude is a great asset to enjoyment in that regard."

Being featured on the cover of Wine Spectator’s October issue is such an amazing achievement. What would you say has been the most memorable part of your journey as a sommelier leading up to this point?
"That’s such a wonderful question and one that inspires a lot of thought due to so many great professionals, friends, and family helping me along the way. The most memorable moments for me have been when I can reconvene with my family and share with them the great wines I’ve discovered along my path. My family helped me to identify a passion for wine at an early age, but we never really had access to the benchmarks and iconic wines of the world. Nothing gives me more satisfaction and fulfillment than to be able to say thank you by bringing some of these wines to them and enjoying them together. There are two moments I will cherish and remember the most; the first was when I had my first glass of wine with my grandfather, a wine that he himself made from grapes that were crushed the day I was born and the second was when I drank Raveneau and Bernard Faurie with my family in what would become the last wines I would enjoy with my grandmother. Those moments are what drive me because in those moments what’s most important in life are glaringly obvious, to enjoy the fleeting times you have with the ones you love and the many you care about. That’s what it’s about. The human connection and what brings us all together."
What fun or exciting changes are you seeing in the wine world, and how are you mixing those into what’s happening at The Little Nell?
"The landscape of wine is ever changing and evolving. Every year there seems to be a new region emerging in the world of wine or a new trend or technology influencing production. We try to incorporate this into our programming when it makes sense. One recent advancement over the past couple of years was the advent of the Coravin for sparkling wines. Champagne is an incredibly complex and nuanced wine that requires an incredible amount of skill and resources to produce and for that reason it often is sold at more of a premium price. Before the Corvain for sparkling wine it was very difficult to justify pouring premium Champagne by the glass due to the wine’s propensity to lose effervescence once open. The Coravin preserves this quality in the wine by covering the wine in CO2 and maintaining pressure in the bottle which preserves the sparkle for up to 2 weeks. It has allowed us to make Champagne and other premium sparkling wines more accessible to our guests and allows them for example to enjoy Krug Grande Cuvée without committing to a full bottle. Another facet of the world of wine that has become more focused in recent years is the attention to global climate change. More and more producers are finding ways to produce wine with a smaller impact on the environment through sustainable farming and we have committed to only supporting wineries who champion this philosophy.
Additionally, we save every wine cork that we open and ship these off to be recycled. At one point we had over 100 pounds of wine corks to ship off which is a lot of organic matter to repurpose in the right direction. It may make the smallest difference on a global scale but if we can convince others to do it, we’re moving towards a better future for everyone in it."

Unlocking Real Estate Investments in the South of France
Q&A WITH CHRISTOPH AVERSANO, MANAGING PARTNER | MAGREY & SONS
What makes Monaco and the French Riviera, particularly areas like Cannes and St. Tropez, such appealing locations for real estate investments?
"The weather, the sea, the good food, and the gambling possibilities...But the starting point is really the film festival of Cannes, with all Hollywood coming to the Côte d’Azur, the Monaco F1 Grand Prix, the discovery of beautiful fishing villages like St Tropez, and wild locations like St Jean Cap Ferrat and the Cap d’Antibes. From there on owning a property by the sea, surrounded by pine trees, with the sound of cicadas has become a must. The demand is high and the average selling price allows investors to have capital gains when they sell and an interesting yield when they rent."
As for Monaco, the tax friendliness and the high security has enabled this micro country to become very popular. Not forgetting the glamor all around it. The high season on the Riviera brings major events like the Monaco Grand Prix and the Cannes Film Festival. How do these events impact the rental market, and is there a significant demand for short-term luxury rentals during these times?
"We have a very strong short term rental market. The Monaco Grand Prix weekend and the last weekend of the Cannes film festival are the same. Demand is very high and it remains like this until the end of September. Peak is of course July and August. In addition, Cannes is hosting 18 international congresses during the year. The city is dynamic year round, it offers an interesting yield outside peak season."
Côte d'Azur
Alessandro Moriconi, Interior Designer
What trends are you seeing in the current market—are buyers leaning towards vacation homes, investment properties, or primary residences in Monaco and nearby areas?
"We have specialized in secondary residences for more than 4 decades. Dealing mainly with UHNWI investors. The demand is high, the offer rare and we would say that buying a vacation home must be an investment and we guide our clients in that direction. The combination of using your property when you want and renting it out when you don’t will pay at least the yearly expenses, and the market will increase roughly by 3% a year."
What advice would you give to a New York-based buyer considering their first property investment on the French Riviera?
"Get out of the city, jump on a plane, fly directly to Nice. Prior to that give us a few hints about your needs and wishes and let us guide you towards the best investment. Each city, Monaco, Cannes, Saint Tropez has its own charm and is dedicated to specific families depending on the way of living! Cannes for investors who will enjoy it and visit us all year round, Saint Tropez for those that want to show off during the peak season, and Monaco for its security."

EXPLORING PADEL'S RISE WITH MIKE DORFMAN, CEO OF PRO PADEL LEAGUE AND CO-OWNER OF THE NEW YORK ATLANTICS

WORDS
Salina Breer
Mike Dorfman
As part of the groundbreaking Pro Padel League, the New York Atlantics represent the dynamic energy and competitive spirit of the sport’s growing presence in the United States. Based in one of the world’s most iconic cities, the Atlantics are not just a team—they’re pioneers in bringing this fast-paced, socially engaging sport to a wider audience.
Read on as Mike takes us behind the scenes of this dynamic game, sharing stories of professional rivalries, luxury brand partnerships, and the exhilarating community spirit that defines padel.
Padel,
once
a niche sport, is now captivating players and fans worldwide with its unique blend of athleticism, strategy, and social connection. To explore its growing popularity, we spoke with Mike Dorfman, CEO of the Pro Padel League and co-owner of the New York Atlantics:
Why do you think padel has experienced such a surge in popularity recently?
"Padel is first and foremost, a beautiful sport, which makes it addictive to both play and watch; it is athletic, dynamic, both physically and mentally challenging, and competitive. In countries like Spain, it’s become the 2nd most popular sport after soccer. We are much newer to the sport here in the US, but on a similar trajectory of explosive growth."
What are some unique qualities of padel that differentiate it from other racket sports?
"On the surface, Padel is an almost perfect hybrid of tennis and squash, in that you are playing with a tennis-like ball hitting over a tennis-like net, but you also need to contend with squash-like walls and navigate squash-like corners which adds an additional element of special awareness and mental calculation of angles, spins, and power.
Additionally, you are allowed to play the ball outside of the court, which results in (mostly the pros) running through a small door to get beyond the walls in order to put the ball back into play. It’s quite a spectacle to see these kinds of points — you don’t get anything like it in any other racket sport.
Finally, padel is only ever played in doubles format, and players typically only play on either side of the court, which means it is a true team sport with different teammates occupying different positions. With high lobs
used as an attacking shot and opponents moving from defensive to offensive positions, frequent communication is an underrated key to success that you rarely see in other racquet sports."
How do you see the future of padel in terms of global growth and mainstream appeal?
"The sport is exploding globally, with the number of courts expected to double in the next 18 months. The top professional padel players are becoming rockstars, with top tier sponsors and luxury brands wanting to be associated with the sport. Lamborghini and Babolat did a padel collaboration, for example.
Here in the US, we are way behind lots of other countries in terms of maturity, but the number of
Of course, because demand is skyrocketing and the number of courts and clubs are so limited, the price to play is high and can be unaffordable for many. In order for the sport to reach its full potential, accessibility is key — youth programs and academies in particular will be crucial, at an affordable price point. As the market matures here, I think we will see many different types of clubs catering to all sorts of demographics, much like we see today with tennis; in NYC, you can play tennis in a public city park for close to free, or you can play in a posh members only club in the Hamptons with hefty initiation fees and annual dues. Padel will eventually be the same."
How do you think the team’s presence impacts the local community or broader fanbase?
"Our hope is that the Pro Padel League will bring broad awareness of Padel to the US and accelerate the growth of the game, creating both players and fans. Of course, that means more than just creating an amazing tv product, but also an in-person experience that is both engaging and welcoming for newcomers. We want people that have never played or watched the sport to be able to walk in to our events and have a blast by enjoying world class hospitality and entertainment, and leave with an itch to keep learning more about padel."
Are there any upcoming games, tournaments, or initiatives you’re particularly excited about this season?
"We just wrapped up our 2024 season with a huge grand finale at the Duggal Greenhouse in NYC, bringing the top professional players to compete for the first time ever in New York. We crowned Daddy Yankee’s Flowrida Goats the season’s champions, after they beat out world #1’s Augustin Tapia and Ari Sanchez from the Miami Padel Club in an epic final. We had amazing support from Eataly and Adidas who helped make the event a huge hit.
We can’t say too much about the 2025 calendar just yet, but suffice to say it will be bigger and better than 2024, and we’re sure to be back to New York."

Bridging Ancestral Wisdom and Modern Science for Skin Health
SYMBIOME SKINCARE

Symbiome
WORDS
Alexandra Engler
& Larry Weiss
Symbiome is a microbiome R&D company that produces their unique IP platform into skin health products. In a world where skincare often feels over-complicated, Symbiome takes a refreshingly pure approach, drawing from the simplicity and resilience of nature. Inspired by ancestral wisdom and backed by advanced science, Symbiome harnesses the power of postbiotic ingredients to restore and strengthen the skin’s natural microbiome. With sustainably sourced ingredients from the Amazon rainforest and a commitment to minimalism, each formula is designed to work in harmony with the body—offering a balanced, revitalized complexion with fewer, yet potent, ingredients.
“We are committed to bringing the latest microbiome research from the lab to the community with transparency, humility, and integrity. ”
AN INTERVIEW WITH LARRY WEISS, FOUNDER
Why did you start Symbiome?
"In our modern, industrialized world, we have lost almost 80% of the microbial diversity, and about 25% of the metabolic function of our microbiome, compared to our ancestors – a loss that can be directly linked to the increasing burden of skin inflammation and inflammatory diseases. I founded Symbiome in 2017 because the skincare products we buy should do more than just improve our appearance. They should enable cellular repair, restore our resilience, and improve our health."
What is my microbiome?
"The short answer is it’s you! It is as much you as any other body part. Until recently, it had been invisible. Over the past 25 years, the rapid development of tools to sequence DNA and RNA has dramatically changed our understanding of this beneficial relationship to the microbial world."
What is the microbiome's relationship to our complexion and the way the skin looks?
"There is a direct relationship between the health of our skin microbiome and the appearance of our skin. Avoid ultra-processed cosmetics with long ingredient lists the same way you avoid ultra-processed foods with ingredients that don’t look like food. Every ingredient is a potential allergy, sensitizer, or irritant, so prioritize
minimally formulated products with short ingredient lists. This is especially the case if you have sensitive skin. Finally, pay attention to both your skin and your gut. When your skin and gut microbiome are balanced and healthy, you will look and feel healthy. "
You have a new launch: The Essence Mist. What spurred the development of this product, and what makes it different and revolutionary?
"The Essence Mist is a significant advancement in our ongoing journey to restore lost microbiome function and combat free radical damage and aging. With a proprietary blend of Postbiomic™ microbial lysates and enzymes, we are able to mimic the robust antioxidant function that pre-industrialized human populations once had to mitigate sunburn and cellular deterioration."
You said that pre-industrialized populations don’t sunburn. What has changed?
"In the pre-industrialized era, our skin microbiome was more diverse. It blanketed our skin with a natural antioxidant system that protected from the harmful effects of UV and oxygen. However, in the modern, industrialized world, our skin microbiome has lost this protective blanket. At the same time, other sources of environmental stress—referred to as our “exosome,” including pollution, ultra-processed foods and cosmetics, travel, and our stressful modern lifestyle— have significantly increased."
Visit symbiome.com for more details. Use code Hedgerow20 for 20% off your order.
What can we expect from The Essence? What has changed?
"The Essence Mist Postbiomic™ formula immediately reduces damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS) when applied. It provides a soothing, cooling, and refreshing sensation for dry, stressed, or sun-exposed skin and skin affected by harsh weather or pollution. The Mist helps reduce oxidative tissue damage and prevents senescent cell accumulation that contributes to signs of skin aging, such as dullness, dark spots, and wrinkles. "
How does The Essence fit into the other products at Symbiome?
"All of Symbiome’s products share a common formulation philosophy that prioritizes the longevity, radiance and health of your skin. The collection is minimally formulated, using fewer than 10 biologically intact, supercharged ingredients per product. Created via Advanced Stem Cell Media Technology, BioIntact™ Emulsion, and Postbiomic™ Fermentation."
Given this knowledge and discovery, what does this mean for the future of skin and skin care?
"We are committed to bringing the latest microbiome research from the lab to the community with transparency, humility, and integrity. Our goal is to understand the role of the microbiome in health and disease, to translate this knowledge into products with beneficial side effects that restore our resilience and health, enabling us to make better decisions for ourselves, our families, and our communities. There is work to be done—let’s get healthy together."

INTERVIEW WITH SHARON REMBAUM & CECILE HANAU
“For Us Every Piece is Kind of an Emotional Thing”
How do you curate your collection? Do you source from specific regions or time periods?
"We do shop mostly in Europe. We have pieces we fall in love with that's how it works often. We have a lot from England, France, Italy, and Belgium. Sometimes we buy it auctions but it's rare, we travel and do shopping trips. We have relationships with vendors in Europe. We happen to have two armchairs that are from Czechoslovakia but we did not source them there. We don't source from a specific period though we have pieces from a lot of different periods. We have some antiques some vintage some are deco some contemporary. We also represent several artists around the world from local in Hudson Valley to Japan."
Can you share any stories behind some of the most unique or rare pieces in your collection?
"There's a story behind every piece. I think for us every piece is kind of an emotional thing. It’s going to that flea market or fair and seeing a piece and going, oh my God I’m in love with that, I have to have it, kind of thing. And every piece has a history. To point out, one of our pieces is a mahjong table which is Chinese but it was bought in the UK. It's really exceptional. It's very old and it has these drawers and cup holders and when you pull them out they have cigarette burns in them. It's got that beautiful patina and history."
What would someone use the table for?
"We first saw the table, we didn’t know it was a mahjong table, and i imagined it in an entry hall with a beautiful vaese on it and a beautiful light fixture hanging on it. And then I thought it could also be a game table. It could also be a breakfast table in a small New York City apartment. It’s so versatile."
How has your experience as designers shaped the way you work with clients in the store, especially when helping them find the perfect piece for their spaces?
"Typically, people come in and see something and fall in love with it. Sometimes people do have a hard time envisioning, and we do offer consulting services. Especially if a client is local, we will go to their apartment and see if things will work or help them source things within the gallery for their apartment. Scale is a very important thing in design, being able to actually see a space is important. Sometimes designers will email us on behalf of a client and send us a photo and the dimensions and say, we’re looking for a piece to fill this space."

Do you accept design projects from anywhere?
"Yes, we’ve done projects all over and would do projects anywhere."
When visiting your store, are any two visits alike?
"We move things around all the time. We like to play around. We have a window that we constantly switch. We also get new inventory and we have to weave that in."

Paragone & Alessandro Moriconi
Perched on the grounds of a historic Etruscan settlement, Castello di Casole, A Belmond Hotel, originally a 10th-century Tuscan castle, now unveils two new private villas and eighteen reimagined suites. Interior designer Alessandro Moriconi artfully blends traditional charm with contemporary elegance, bringing a fresh perspective to this timeless estate.
AA former 10th century castle, Castello di Casole, A Belmond Hotel, in Tuscany retains the ambience of a private country house, with 39 suites. It is a gateway to the wonders of rural Italy – rolling hills, olive groves, and vineyards – as well as Tuscan towns Siena, Florence, and San Gimignano.
The property’s identity is deeply rooted in its agricultural past stretching back to the 7th Century BC, with Etruscan artifacts found across the 3,200 acres of land, on display throughout the hotel. Its cuisine is a celebration of its surroundings, with a farm-to-table concept and a focus on simple and fresh produce, cultivated in the Orti del Castello – the hotel’s vegetable garden. Its garden is also home to over 50 varieties of roses, an infinity pool overlooking the Tuscan hills, a spa housed in the former wine cellar, and Tosca for fine dining, open only for dinners, alongside Emporio del Castello, open only dinners during fridge season only, for authentically Tuscan dining and the more casual Pool Grill in the summer months.
The region’s famous landscape can be discovered through a range of activities, from stargazing, hiking, and biking to wine tasting and truffle hunting. Guests can opt for secluded Etruscan luxury in the two recently opened private villas - Villa Thesan and Villa Usil, just a five-minute stroll from the hotel. Inspired by the estate’s heritage, both villas reflect the codes of Tuscan tradition and boast outstanding views of the surrounding countryside.

ALESSANDRO MORICONI ON HIS TIME SPENT IN EAST HAMPTON
"Spending August in East Hampton was an incredibly inspiring experience for me as a designer, particularly because of the natural surroundings. I found myself drawn to the lushness of the forests, the vibrant greenery, the abundant farm stands and the serene dunes that give the landscape its unique character. Unlike other places I've visited, the Hamptons offers a sense of casualness that feels effortless, as if people leave the need to impress back in the city. This relaxed, unpretentious vibe resonates with my design philosophy of honoring the soul of a place. As a designer, it's very important for me to understand how a family will use their space, ensuring it is functional while also reflecting their lifestyle. If I were designing interiors here, I would aim to create spaces that are cozy and textural, offering warmth without being over the top. I would balance elegance with a level of sophistication that feels natural and unforced, allowing the home to reflect both the beauty of the Hamptons and the daily rhythms of life out there." - Alessandro Moriconi

LIFE INTO POINCIANA PLAZA
TThe transformation of the Poinciana Plaza Theatre is well underway, with Bryan Graybill and a team of talented architects and designers working to breathe new life into this iconic Palm Beach venue. Graybill describes the project as “not a restoration but a reinterpretation,” aiming to honor the original theater’s Regency Palm Beach style from the 1950s while adapting it for modern needs. “The envelope has changed slightly because of the landlord’s requirements and structural concerns with the building’s original construction,” he notes, adding that these adjustments ensure the venue will serve today's audiences without losing its historical charm. The reimagined theater is designed to be “primarily for performances,” but it’s also intended to be a versatile, accessible space for the Palm Beach community.

Accessibility has been a key consideration for the team, reflected in the reduced seating and gentler slope. “It’s really meant to be accessible to the community, whether it’s high school groups, nonprofits, or residents just looking for a place to connect,” Graybill says, underscoring the theater’s broad appeal. Graybill’s attention to detail extends to the aesthetics of the space as well, especially in the finishes, color palette, and materials chosen for the lobby and bar areas. With plans for world-class programming, including jazz performances, ballet, chamber music, and lectures from various professionals, Graybill sees the Poincienza Plaza Theatre as a place where “art and community can converge,” making it a vibrant addition to Palm Beach’s cultural landscape.

AN INTERVIEW WITH
JAMES MICHAEL HOWARD
James Michael Howard: A Masterclass in Timeless Design at 70 Matthews Lane
James Michael Howard, a native of Florida, has made a name for himself as a master of blending classical and modern design elements to create spaces that feel both elegant and timeless. Since launching his own interiors firm in 1988, after over a decade of working with various design firms, Jim’s work has been defined by meticulous attention to architectural detailing and a lavish yet thoughtful use of color, texture, and pattern. Schooled at Parsons in New York, Jim developed a passion for combining traditional design elements with modern sensibilities, crafting homes that are as comfortable as they are sophisticated.
70 Matthews Lane in Bridgehampton, epitomizes this signature balance. Nestled just off iconic Ocean Road, the 11,600-square-foot estate exudes both grandeur and warmth, a hallmark of Jim’s approach. For Jim, the design process is always about ensuring the architecture, interiors, and landscape work in harmony. As he explains, "I wanted the pool to be on the south side of the house, and as you approach from the right side, I designed the roof to slope down and greet you, creating a welcoming and graceful aesthetic. Inside, I combined modern elements like a marble floor with classic materials that bring comfort and beauty to every space."
Jim’s architectural detailing, honed over decades of work, plays a key role in creating spaces that are not only visually stunning but functional. At 70 Matthews Lane, this can be seen in the hand-hewn oak flooring that flows throughout the home. "It’s a very durable material," Jim notes, "which holds up to the constant foot traffic, doors being open, and all the daily wear a house like this endures. It’s not just a detail; it’s one of those necessary elements that ties the entire look together."
"NO MATTER WHERE YOU STAND IN THE HOUSE, YOU ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK THROUGH -WHETHER IT'S THE ARCHITECTURE, THE FURNISHINGS, OR THE ACCESSORIES. IT'S ALL PART OF THE DESIGN TO MAKE SURE EACH ELEMENT COMPLEMENTS THE OTHER."

Jim’s ability to merge the classical and the contemporary is also evident in his approach to large spaces. The great room at 70 Matthews Lane features soaring 30-foot beamed ceilings, yet it remains intimate, with multiple seating areas, a custom fireplace, and natural light flooding the space. "No matter where you stand in the house, you always have something beautiful to look through—whether it’s the architecture, the furnishings, or the accessories. It’s all part of the design to make sure each element complements the other," he explains.
Having designed homes across the country, from Florida beach houses to Montana retreats, Jim is no stranger to adapting his designs to different environments. "The vernacular style of a region has to be considered and respected," he says.
"In the Hamptons, it’s about relaxation, big open spaces, and entertainment. I wanted to reflect that lifestyle at 70 Matthews Lane while maintaining the high level of design and quality that I always strive for."
It’s clear that for Jim, each project is personal. "I don’t do lazy work," he emphasizes. "Everything has to be of the best quality, because it has my name on it. And most importantly, I want to be proud of it. With each house that I do, I want to make sure that the site is good but, also that all of the components that come together are good and are of the best quality.”

AN INTERVIEW WITH DEVELOPER,
JAY BIALSKY
Having lived in various areas of the Hamptons, from inland to oceanfront, what makes this home and location your favorite so far?
"My family and I have always been big boaters. We lived on the ocean for over 10 years and realized that it wasn’t as conducive to the boating lifestyle we wanted. When we would drive to take our boat out we would pass the property and always thought it would be the perfect location to develop and live, so one day we did it.
Now, we walk everywhere, we never have to worry about parking or traffic, we enjoy all the great restaurants that Sag Harbor has to offer from simple to elegant dining like Sag Pizza and Tutto Il Giorno.
In terms of the lifestyle, there's nothing better than boating all day and pulling up right to your home. It’s the quintessential boating and social lifestyle that Sag Harbor has to offer."
The design of the property perfectly balances modern luxury with Sag Harbor village waterfront living. What were the key design elements you prioritized when creating this space?
"Every evening brings a unique sunset, and when you live here, everyone wants to gather for a sunset drink—it’s just that kind of place.
It’s all about the sunsets here—some of the most picturesque, with reflections on the water and the boats. That’s why we designed upside-down living, making the most of the views from all four levels, which is extremely unique"
We wanted the exterior to feel like it has been part of the area for a long time, but with a modern twist, so the backs are all glass to optimize unobstructed water views. The square footage is unparalleled for this area, and having the two boat slips make it perfect for entertaining friends— there’s space for everyone to dock and join the fun without hassle."

JOE NAHEM'S INSIDE
D esign Philosophy and His Further Lane Residence
Is there a signature aspect to a Fox-Nahem space? How would one recognize that you designed it?
"People often ask, “What’s your signature?” My response is always that our signature is not having a signature. I know there are many talented designers whose work is recognizable, and I give them a lot of credit for that. However, our projects are so varied that I don’t think they’re particularly identifiable. Our spaces are always tranquil and client-driven. It’s not about me; it’s about the clients. Even when we work on multiple projects for the same clients, each one is different."
Reflecting on your career, what are some of the most defining projects or moments for Fox-Nahem Associates?
"When my late partner, the iconic Tom Fox, and I started Fox-Nahem, I was only 22. I’ve been running my own company since then, and he passed away about 20-21 years ago. Early on, one of our first projects made the cover of the New York Times Home section, which was a huge deal. I was only in my 20s, and that cover really put us on the map. The phone started ringing off the hook, and we were suddenly doing landmark houses and working with amazing clients like Robert Downey Jr. Building our own house in the Hamptons— the one you guys have—is also a defining moment for us."
How much time do you spend in the Hamptons? "Half and Half."
What do you think is the most special thing about the property? Whether it’s lifestyle, architecture, or something else? "Having the double dune between us and the ocean is very special. It gives a sense of privacy and security. Even on the busiest July weekend, when you don’t want to step out for a carton of milk, you still feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. It’s also rare to have such rich soil here. Often, beach properties have either trees or the ocean, but here we have both, and it’s truly majestic. I’ve worked on many oceanfront projects, and while I’m grateful for all of them, this setting is exceptionally special."
The trees in the backyard are beautiful. Can you tell me about them?
"I learned from a landscaper I work with out here that these cherry trees are unique to this part of Further Lane. They’re a specific type of cherry.

tree that doesn’t grow elsewhere, and if they die, another one won’t naturally grow in its place. They’re unique to the area around Two Mile Hollow to Indian Wells—or so I’ve been told."
You’re an art lover. Who are some of your favorite artists, and how have they influenced your design style?
"I’ve been very lucky to work with clients who are collectors with incredible collections, and I’ve learned a lot from them. We often discuss their collections and how to balance showcasing these significant pieces with creating a livable home. Many clients want a home that isn’t a gallery but still accommodates large, modern pieces. It’s a balancing act, especially when clients also have spectacular views—whether it’s the ocean, the mountains in Aspen, or Central Park. Our work is about blending art, views, and furniture in a way that allows clients to live their everyday lives."
What’s next for you?
"Our work is very client-inspired and client-driven. Every project is different, and every client has unique needs, so we don’t follow a formula. Recently, we were fortunate to work with clients who purchased David Rockefeller’s double townhouse in New York. It’s an incredible, slightly intimidating project because it’s such a well-known house with a rich history of hosting presidents and international figures."

SHELTER ISLAND
INTRODUCTION
SShelter Island might be located on Long Island’s East End, but it certainly isn’t the Hamptons—and that is part of its allure. The 8,000-acre island, only accessible via a short car ferry ride from either the village of Greenport on the North Fork or North Haven in the Hamptons, is known for its quaint village (Dering Harbor), its beautiful beaches, many marinas, and vast areas of unspoiled sylvan-meets-the-sea landscapes. Indeed, nearly one-third of the island is owned by The Nature Conservancy.

WORDS Emma Reynolds Courtesy of Robb Report
Also prized for it’s sense of remove and low-key vibe, the island also has an impressive array of homes, and this newly built home overlooking Coecles Harbor and Gardiners Bay is setting a new precedent for contemporary design on Shelter Island. Priced at $15 million, 1 Pandion Road was built by Joshua Greenwald, who has developed properties in the Hamptons, Aspen, New York City, and Bedford, New York. Terry Cohen of Hedgerow Exclusive Properties holds the listing.
“One Pandion took over three years to develop, during which time the Hamptons saw a population surge post Covid-19,” Joshua Greenwald tells Robb Report. “Shelter Island...

NEW CONSTRUCTION WITH HARBOR VIEWS
offers a peaceful escape, yet it’s only 15 minutes from Sag Harbor. While Hamptons oceanfront property remains desirable, Shelter Island’s waterfront access to Sag Harbor and Gardiners Bay has become increasingly coveted, with property values steadily rising."
The home sits on 3.4 acres with 240 feet of waterfront and spans more than 6,000 square feet with six bedrooms and six bathrooms, plus two more half-bathrooms. The boxy, modern abode, designed by architect David Neff in collaboration with Curate|Build and CTLA Design, eschews the traditional shingle-style architecture the region is known for. Clean lines and modernist details, like oversized green-glass windows and a flat roof, are key features of the home’s striking design.
The home sits at the end of a winding driveway flanked by pristine lawns and immaculate landscaping. Through the glass pivot door, you’re greeted with a light-filled, double-height foyer. The entry showcases a wall of windows that overlooks the backyard and water beyond, as well as a floating wood staircase that leads to the second floor and ample wall space for the display of artwork. Nearby, the custom kitchen is decked out with honed Calacatta Monet marble, prized for its ivory tones and lilac-hued veins, and grain-matched white oak cabinetry. An eat-in island separates the kitchen from a dining area that can seat up to 10 people.
Off the kitchen is a light-filled living room lined with windows on each side. There’s a gas fireplace with a marble surround
and a wall of white oak cabinets that match those in the kitchen. Sliding glass pocket doors open to an outdoor seating area with panoramic harbor views. Elsewhere on the main floor is a guest bedroom, an office, and a family room.
The primary suite on the upper floor offers a private sitting area that spills onto a waterfront terrace, a spa-inspired bathroom and a couple of walk-in closets. The additional bedrooms are filtered throughout the house, and there’s also a gym and attached two-car garage.
Outside, there’s plenty of lawn space between the outdoor living spaces and the water. To the eastern side of the home, there’s a 62-foot-long heated saltwater pool, a spa, an outdoor kitchen, and a covered dining area with overhead heaters that take the edge off cool evenings. The home also has a two-story pool house with plenty of storage for water toys, like kayaks, paddleboards, and canoes.
