At this time of uncertainty and anxiety, we've all had to look inward at ourselves and our surroundings to create new forms of balance and harmony in a chaotic world. This symbiosis of people and space has always been a core value for us. In this spirit, we'd like to share some of our favorite projects in which we've contributed to creating a powerful sense of place.
Originally built in 1883, The Cedars sits between the bay and the sound, at the entrance to the quiet town of Orient, New York. A few years ago a young couple began to envision the house as a place that would not only pay homage to the history of the place, but also fit their personalities. They wanted something design-forward, light, bright, and full of art and design. They then teamed up with Michael Yarinsky Studio to breathe life into their vision for the interiors and detailing.

As the house overlooks the Long Island sound, the scenery is ever-changing - with each unique sunset bathing the home in color. The interior references the moment when the ocean meets the sky. The color selection consists of muted blues and greens, contrasting with white-washed floors. The wallpaper captures ethereal mood and movements of the water. The lighting is playful and simultaneously brings together and elevates the use of organic materials in the home. The space is kept open with many moments of congregation with the intention of welcoming family and friends, over communal meals, shared stories, and intimate conversations. This communal spirit in mind, it was important to Office of Tangible Space and the clients to work with emerging designers as well as locals from the North Fork community.

"We love working with Ladies & Gentlemen Studio for so many reasons. Their practice is rooted in craft, community, and process in a way that few studios these days actually are - and it is so needed.
The empathic approach L&G takes to a rigorous traditional design process yields incredible humanistic design. Their studio also has a focus on community building and digging into design history which are parts of the design world often overlooked."
-Michael Yarinsky, Principal

Maru by L&G StudioHere at L&G, nothing makes us feel more fulfilled than seeing our products so thoughtfully integrated into their surrounds. When carefully considered in conjunction with space, we believe objects have the power to bring functional and emotive cohesion to everyday life. The Cedars is such a prime example of this potential.
Office of Tangible Space has been a valued collaborator of ours for many years, over which we've built a relationship of mutual admiration and creative synergy that yields better and better results over time. This is the type of alignment we aspire to in all of our relationships.
In this spirit, our studio remains open (remotely), ready to discuss ways to make your spaces harmonious and meaningful.
