Summer shopping with Darren Henault

Last week we introduced you to Darren Henault, whose extraordinary talent for creating luxurious, livable spaces has won him awards, accolades, and the attention of the most important design publications in the world. His clients include celebrities, business leaders, and the social elite. For Henault, “living beautifully is about editing and figuring out what positive changes to make that will affect how you feel about your home and, ultimately, yourself.” Epitomized in this home in Millbrook:


And this New York living room, seen in New York Spaces:

We spent an afternoon with him on the hunt around the DDB looking for his favorite finds for summer. Here's what he loves, and why.


-"This Diana églomise chest of drawers from Jean de Merry is a great find. A gorgeous Old World technique on a clean and very usable piece of furniture:

-"The Windsor étagère from Frederick P. Victoria & Son is gorgeous. As it's custom, you can lacquer it, distress it, whatever you like. Again something old made new:

-"The textured linens and silks from Nancy Corzine are beautiful. They're formal but crisp and light enough to live with in the summer."
-"New bedding from Leron! Change the room from Winter to Spring just by having the folks there whip up something light and airy:


-"Have I mentioned my new rug collection at Holland & Sherry? How about using my designs and making them in cotton or linen? They're happy to oblige."

In the News: Léron Puts Students to the Test

If you've been to the DDB recently, then it's likely that you have already seen Léron's lively lobby floor window. If you haven't seen it yet, make your way over to see the handiwork of talented students from the Art Institute of New York City.

Tamara Belgrave, Terressa Maisonet and Alexandra Winokur were the winners of the Léron sponsored student competition this past spring, where they were challenged to create the best display of Léron's linens.

"We loved their concept of birds in flight!" said a Léron sales associate. "The birds were really echoing the lines of our hand-quilted charmeuse coverlets and silk shams! Not to mention, they also wrote a fabulous poem!"

Let us know what you think of the student's work, and head on up to the Léron showroom to see what's new.
