@pierreyovanovitch #Repost @samedford A cozy, shimmering sitting room at Lasata, designed by Pierre Yovanovitch for TV and film producer David Zander. Some houses have nine lives, and Lasata is definitely one of them. Sitting a few blocks from the ocean in East Hampton, the estate was designed in 1917 by Arthur C. Jackson for George Wellington Schurman, a Manhattan lawyer and amateur gardener. Its best-known resident, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, spent childhood summers here, riding her ponies in the back yard when her grandfather, John Vernou Bouvier Jr, owned it. Restored a decade ago by Reed and Delphine Krakoff, Lasata (now on owner number eight) has been reimagined by @pierre.yovanovitch, a proponent of interiors not so much constructed as sculpted from materials with a noble history. A former fashion executive at Pierre Cardin, he’s cultivated a style that shares nothing with the space-age razzle dazzle of his one-time boss; equal parts organic modernism and alpine rusticity, it’s a combination that must have been deeply sublimated during his days in Cardin’s menswear department. The more Yovanovitch studied Lasata‘s elongated proportions, picturesque fireplaces and tall casement windows, the more he gravitated to the challenge of unpacking its history. In the sitting room, Fleming Lassen seating surrounds a Jean Prouvé low table, with Noguchi Akari lighting and a painting by Christodoulos Panayiotou.
