Whether you’re in need of a one-of-a-kind gift for your Hamptons hosts, a warm-weather wardrobe refresh, or stylish new spots to hit up in the Berkshires or Beverly Hills, this summer’s crop of openings, launches, and creative collaborations have you covered. From dresses emblazoned with Mark D. Sikes’s signature stripes to fresh tabletop goods inspired by the archives of Colonial Williamsburg, here’s the design news on our radar this season.
Walker Street Market
If you’re heading to the Berkshires this summer, be sure to stop by Walker Street Market, a new design and interiors gallery in the charming town of Lenox. Multi-hyphenate founder Matthew Ames, who’s been a fashion designer, interior designer, and gallerist, has curated a thoughtful mix from over 70 different artisans of crafts, antiques, artwork, furniture, lighting, ceramics, textiles, and more. Housed in a restored early 20th-century landmark building, it’s both a community hub and destination for discovery.
J. McLaughlin x Mark D. Sikes
While any number of fashion designers have leapt into the home market, in the case of J. McLaughlin—the fashion retailer specializing in preppy classics with a twist—it’s the other way around: The brand tapped interior designer Mark D. Sikes to collaborate on a new collection of clothing and accessories for women and men. Bold navy and white stripes, a zingy floral revived from their archives, and separates in the perfect shade of red draw on some of Sikes’s most iconic rooms and motifs. If you’ve ever wished you could wear your favorite wallpaper or curtains, this may be the perfect collection for you!
Arcove by Isabella Worsley
British designer and FREDERIC It Lister Isabella Worsley has launched Arcove, a new collection of fabrics, wallpapers, throw pillows, and lampshades, all made in England (and available in the U.S.). Inspired by traditional motifs but reinterpreted for modern homes, the versatile designs range from woven stripes and Italianate block prints to textural weaves, all in a warm, layered palette.
Colonial Williamsburg x Carolina Irving & Daughters
When Carolina, Olympia, and Ariadne Irving first traveled to Colonial Williamsburg on a snowy February day in 2025, they faced a difficult-yet-delightful challenge: Select a handful of objects from the foundation’s vast archive of centuries-old tabletop goods to inspire a brand-new collection. This summer, the result of that collaboration officially launched, with a trio of patterns including Virginia (a colorful floral based on an English pearlware lantern), Wren (a pared-back reinterpretation of the interior of an 18th-century punch bowl), and Wythe (a take on a blue tin-glazed earthenware plate). Hand painted in Portugal, they’re an eminently fresh take on historic style.
Victoria Hagan x High Camp
In need of a thank-you gift for your weekend hostess? Look no further than the limited-edition “Art of Summer” gift sets created by Victoria Hagan with farm-to-door floral brand High Camp. Packed with a fragrant bounty gardenias and peonies, a watercolor set, and a hand-painted palo santo candle and vase, each box is sure to wow even the most discerning friend—and secure a return invitation next summer.
USM x Armando Cabral
USM, the Swiss firm known for its modern, modular steel furniture, has collaborated with designer Armando Cabral on an inventive new collection that marries the crisp precision of USM furniture with vibrant textiles and designs by Cabral. Born in Africa, raised in Portugal, educated in London, and now based in New York, Cabral draws on his cross-cultural roots and unique perspective to bring new rhythms, patterns, and colors to a collection of eight pieces called Nkyinkyim a Casa, including a daybed, bookshelves, loveseat, and platform bed. Cabral worked with Portuguese heritage mill Fabricaal on vibrant wool cushions that call on the centuries-old weaving traditions of the Alentejo region.
Somerset House x Galerie Sardine
Like so many of its fellow New Yorkers, Somerset House—the Long Island City vintage furniture gallery and design studio founded by Alan Eckstein and Haley Loewenthal—is headed to the Hamptons this summer. From July 15 through August 31 at Galerie Sardine, an art space located in an 18th-century farmhouse on Amagansett’s Main Street, Somerset will be displaying a selection of its expertly curated wares—think pieces by Pierre Jeanneret and Hans Agne Jakobsson alongside 17th-century Italian antiques.
Barrie Benson for Highland House
In honor of their tenth anniversary of working together, North Carolina furniture company Highland House and interior designer Barrie Benson have issued a beautiful and robust new collection. Benson’s signature mix of modern and traditional styles, sparked by her knowledge of design history and passion for contemporary art, is showcased in 25 luxe but eminently useful pieces, from the chic Renzo Sectional (inspired by Madeleine Castaing’s Paris apartment), to the elegant, exaggerated curves of the Carolyn desk.
Gemma Restaurant at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills
With the Hollywood Hills and the Santa Monica Mountains laid out before you, the rooftop restaurant at the Waldorf Astoria has always been a top L.A. table. But now, with the newly opened Gemma restaurant, designed by French-Italian artist and designer Marc Ange, it’s even more beguiling. Ange turned structural columns into sculptural elements and designed distinctively layered floor lamps abstracted from old-world street lights. Curvy, enveloping banquettes and an endless bar of luxurious Breccia Pontificia marble layer into a palette of terracotta, yellow, and soft greens. Chef Peleg Miron serves up an equally delectable Pan-Asian menu.
Cristina Buckley for Schumacher
Cristina Buckley’s background as a set designer for TV and film is evident in two style-setting new additions to her collection for Schumacher. In Dreams is a modern, stylized take on a chinoiserie cloud pattern from a textile document in Buckley’s personal collection. Printed on a lustrous velvet fabric as well as a sisal wallpaper, its rich texture and saturated colors bridge classic and contemporary with ease. Buckley was inspired by a 1970s needlepoint sampler to create the Graphic Blocks Needlepoint Pillow. With its colorful patchwork of geometric patterns handstitched in wool, it will instantly punch up any room.
