Peter Pennoyer is the principal of Peter Pennoyer Architects, his 50-person firm of architects and interior designers. The firm is recognized as a leader in new construction, renovation, and historic preservation for residential, commercial, and institutional commissions across the United States and abroad. Pennoyer is a member of Architectural Digest’s AD100 and the author of 5 books.
Interior designer Katie Ridder's work has been published in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, House Beautiful, Town & Country, the New York Times, and Domino. She is regularly included in the "Top" lists of designers by magazines including House Beautiful, Elle Decor, and New York magazine.
Together, the couple authored A House in the Country, the story of their collaboration on their home in Millbrook, New York. The book contains photographs, finely rendered plans, and hand-painted illustrations to tell the home’s story. The design followed Pennoyer’s conviction that historical examples are a springboard for the imagination and offer compelling solutions for new architecture. Although many characteristics of the house are classical, it is also thoroughly contemporary. A passionate gardener, Ridder brought her design talent to the creation of the home's garden, which is prominently featured in the book as well.
This power couple of the design world joins us on Thursday, October 17 to sign their stunning book. Come meet this charming couple between 2:00 - 3:30.
We will also offer another of Pennoyer’s books, Harrie T. Lindeberg and the American Country House.
This architectural tour brings to light the genius and influence of Harrie T. Lindeberg, a leader of the American Country House Era who brought together Scandinavian, European, and American traditions. An impressive client list includes many prominent American families--Du Pont, Havemeyer, Doubleday--for whom he built houses in affluent suburbs and resorts across the country. Today, as his country houses enter their second century, a remarkable number stand as they were originally built, prized by their owners for their livability and their elegant design. Architect Peter Pennoyer and historian Anne Walker bring Lindeberg's work to life in Harrie T. Lindeberg and the American Country House. This survey of Lindeberg's most stunning and influential projects includes more than 200 photographs.
To add to the fun, New York jewelry designer Catherine Canino brings her new collection to The Exchange at the same time. The designer will show new creations, to add to the selection of her work already offered in our store.
Join us on Thursday to meet Catherine Canino, Katie Ridder and Peter Pennoyer…and get a jump on holiday shopping with some personalized gifts!
