A Hamptons Design Shop via LA

July 20, 2012

Decorator Natasha Esch’s curatorial eye brings a theatrical glamor to her recently opened design store Monc XIII in the seaside town of Sag Harbor. No surprise, really, when you learn that the former director of Wilhelmina Models Worldwide lived in LA for twelve years before moving to the Hamptons two years ago.

Esch and her husband, web entrepreneur Matthew Coffin, have spent the last two years painstakingly renovating a historic 19th-century storefront building. The resulting mix of rustic wood with metal creates a fitting backdrop for her particular design vision of European midcentury mixed with luxury home accessories; we call it Bi-Coastal Luxe.
