East End design darlings Jennifer Mabley and Austin Handler are known for nailing the “Haute Hamptons Look.”  Austin shares, “Our clients always ask us how we describe our style.  We describe our design point of view as: Beach Chic, Modern Beach, and New Hamptons.  Our design style is fresh and relaxing, and very comfortable.”  KDHamptons loves the look of Mabley Handler homes, so we weren’t surprised to hear that design powerhouse Kravet has recently tapped them to curate an exclusive new collection.

The Mabley Handler Kravet Furniture collection will introduce 35 designs that celebrate the fresh, relaxing and beach-chic style that the acclaimed husband and wife design duo are best known for.  “While there is a large selection of casual coastal furniture on the market, we always find ourselves searching for pieces that have a more sophisticated style,” explains Austin. “That’s what drove the design process behind our collection with Kravet.  We created a line that will work in both casual and sophisticated beach houses, and in any home that wants a balance of comfort and style.”

Comprised of upholstery, casegoods, and occasional furniture, the collection captures the essence of stylish living through laidback luxury. Sleek silhouettes are enhanced with unique combinations of fabric, wood, grasscloth wallpaper and metal accents for exceptionally dimensional designs. Distinct metal elements including coin-sized discs and campaign-style brackets in brushed brass and satin silver accents, perfectly suited to both casual and refined settings.

“We have been imagining a Hamptons-inspired furniture collection in our minds for years. As we searched for furniture for our Hamptons design projects, we often found pieces we liked, but not in finishes that worked. So we end up having to customize pieces that weren’t meant to be customized, either by paying large change fees, or by refinishing pieces after the fact,” shares Jennifer.

With endless customization options, each piece in the Mabley Handler collection has the opportunity to become uniquely beautiful with tailored designs that span from the coast to the city. Designers can choose from seven specially-crafted quarter sawn and cerused oak finishes in a variety of tones from pale shell to deep midnight, providing a range of natural and organic looks. The collection’s grasscloth wallpaper, available in either a matte or light sheen finish, can be used to outfit bar tables, mirrors, cabinets and drawers in a variety of hues to complete the layered look.

To complement the furniture offering, the Mabley Handler collection will include by-the-yard grasscloth wallpaper and a curated selection of sophisticated fabrics in a harmonizing color palette, both available exclusively in showrooms.  For more information please visit HERE
