Beacon Hill Phosphorescent

“To visit the Design Library is to enter a world of pattern, color, and materials that spans geography and centuries. We frequent this Hudson River aerie in search of one-of-a-kind historic designs: motifs with arresting aesthetic qualities, techniques that show off the virtuosity of of their makers, designs with soul. With the assistance of Peter and his extraordinary team, we’ve consistently found outstanding sources of inspiration—from nineteenth-century silk ikats from Uzbekistan to early twentieth-century hand-painted jellyfish from Lyon fashion studios—that help form Beacon Hill’s singular design structure.”

—Alexis Audette, Creative Director
