Sinotique made an appearance in the Hamptons this month, exhibiting with the Bridgehampton Antiques and Design Fair in Bridgehampton, New York at the historic Community House. The show was produced by antiques dealer extraordinaire Dallas Boesendahl. After sixteen years of participating with the venue, Sinotique continues to introduce fresh, modern design work.
The Bridgehampton Antiques & Design Fair presents 25 Exceptional Antique Dealers from the United States and Europe, offering an intriguing selection of antiques, mid-century modern, Asian, vintage couture, folk art, African, garden and architectural elements, Americana, silver, fine art, ceramics, lighting, jewelry, Art Deco, and unusual furniture and decorative objects from antiquity to the present day.
The Bridgehampton Community House shows have become a favorite shopping destination for many leading decorators, design firms, and celebrated personalities.
Among the world-renowned interior designers who visited the show were Juan Montoya, Tom Scheerer, and Mariette Himes Gomez.
In September of 2003, Juan Montoya featured Sinotique in Architectural Digest Magazine as a "discovery" source for Montoya’s firm. Mr. Montoya spent a few moments catching up with Sinotique owner Jan Lee while at the show.
Kathy Hilton was in attendance with her husband Rick and son Barron, shopping for fashion accessories from T.J. Antorino, among others.
For quite a while, the venue has attracted not only elite designers, but also philanthropists and captains of industry who make the Hamptons their home. Whitney Museum of American Art board member Joanne Cassullo and philanthropist Beth Rudin DeWoody were also spotted in attendance.
Sinotique presented an array of furniture made from antique Chinese bamboo, including a console that proved to be very popular because of its reference to 20th century modern design. Taking center stage in the Sinotique booth was the work of Brooklyn artist Kanik Chung whose mirrored disc wall sculptures seemed to float across the booth in a grouping of various sizes. A pair of decorative and highly textured gold wall panels, designed by Sinotique owner Jan Lee, were the first to be snapped up early in the show.
Gallery owners Lloyd and Barbara Macklowe visited the show, as well as Greenwich, Connecticut boutique owner Samantha Knapp. Sonja Caproni, former President of accessories and home at Donna Karan, perused the 25 booths at the show on the lookout for treasures large and small.
All play and no work proved not to be the case for many in the creative industry. Although, exploring and discovering beautiful new pieces can't really be considered work, can it?
Sinotique will be at the Community House again in August from the 23rd to the 25th. Please contact Sinotique to attend the invitation only preview party on Thursday, August 23rd.
