Lilly Pulitzer partners with Michael Kramer to design cottages for Nantucket Hotel & Resort
Fashion and lifestyle brand Lilly Pulitzer has partnered with New York City-based interior designer Michael Kramer_ from Michael Tomas & Co._ to design two private cottages at the iconic Nantucket Hotel & Resort.
The collaboration sees Lilly Pulitzer working with Lee Jofa and Benjamin Moore_ applying its new collection of fabrics and wall coverings to the garden-inspired cottages. Located outside of the hotel_ the cottages were a blank canvas for Benjamin Moore_s color offering.
Together_ Lilly Pulitzer and Lee Jofa artists applied pattern-blocking_ whimsical floral prints across headboards_ drapes_ accent pillows_ and created hand-painted murals to design distinctive cottages that are both modern and nostalgic.
“The curated print selection is exceptional; our multi-colored _She_s Got Sol_ serves as a pivotal design element_ while the _Costa Verde_ chevron repeat_ presented in various colorways across upholstery and wallcoverings_ lends an ethereal quality_” said Suzanne Cohen_ Chief Marketing Officer for Lee Jofa_ in a statement.
“We are thrilled to partner again on a collection with Lilly Pulitzer and have our brands chosen for this important project.”
The first cottage includes a unique floral identity in each room_ with one inspired by beach accessories. The second cottage features a more maximalist approach_ with a mix of patterns_ artwork_ and colors throughout.
“We wanted these cottages to feel like garden parties you never want to leave_” said Kramer_ in a statement. “They_re playful but sophisticated_ designed for the guest who wants luxury and personality in equal measure.”
“Nantucket is a very important resort town where Lilly Pulitzer has celebrated along with the community for decades_” explained Mira Fain_ Lilly Pulitzer_s Chief Creative Officer. “The Summer Cottages at The Nantucket are the perfect combination of all the things Lilly brand stands for: a world of Lilly_s signature prints in an exquisite color palette_ all wrapped up in a chic resort lifestyle.”
The collaboration included printed and branded elements across the cottages_ like custom Lilly Cottage hand towels and bed linens_ creating fully one-of-a-kind spaces.
“The hotel enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to redesign our one- and two-bedroom east cottages and work with Benjamin Moore_ Lee Jofa_ and Lilly Pulitzer to reveal a seaside-inspired collaboration for Nantucket By Design_” said Gwenn Snider_ owner of Nantucket Hotel & Resort_ in a statement.
The cottages are now open to the public for bookings from today onwards_ and also offer Nantucket By Design_s by-appointment walk-through visits and weeklong events. “We are thrilled guests can check into these beautiful cottages_ receive an instant dose of our uplifting brand_ and build everlasting memories_” added Fain.
