Two Styles Come Together in a Southampton Home
Mara Miller and Jesse Carrier are the husband-and-wife team behind the wildly successful Carrier and Company design firm. (And we do mean wildly successful—just ask their client Anna Wintour about them.) In addition to designing homes, they’ve created collections for Century Furniture, Visual Comfort, and most recently, Lee Jofa. To their neighbors in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, though, they’re simply the interior designers down the hall.
One of those neighbors “just came by one day,” says Jesse. Then he made a few more impromptu visits. He wanted Mara and Jesse to take a quick look at where the architect of his second home, in Southampton, had left things and see how they could work their magic. Slowly Mara and Jesse realized the scope of the job was much bigger than just a few finishing touches. The impromptu meetings continued. The project kept growing. “They were going up and down and out,” says Jesse. It was a total renovation by the end.
