Designer Lisa Perry (center) with a group of artists, designers, and gallery owners at Onna House in East Hampton, New York.
Without Instagram, it's likely the Hamptons' newest art haven, Onna House, would never V V have come to be—and a modernist landmark may well have vanished to the annals of time. There is this fantastic real-estate agent I was following,” says Lisa Perry, the fashion and interiors designer and art collector. The glass structure in East Hampton, New York, that the agent posted reminded her of the midcentury house of her childhood in Riverwoods, Illinois.
According to her broker, many buyers tear down vintage properties-and this one was in serious disrepair. But Perry, who has a weekend house in nearby North Haven, says she could tell that the bones were great.” And it seemed the perfect setting for a new project: a center for woman-identifying artists and designers (on ’na means “woman" in Japanese).
