Perennials

Perennials: Michael Hainey

Michael Hainey is a writer and editor whose career spans decades, a presence in American journalism marked by curiosity and insight and a love of storytelling. At GQ and Esquire, and more recently at Air Mail, he has built a reputation for thoughtful, wide-ranging profiles — sitting down with Hollywood movie stars and musical icons — and intimate explorations of place and culture, from his local bar, The Corner Bistro, to the Rothko Chapel. He is also the author of the New York Times best-selling memoir After Visiting Friends, which he is currently turning into a film. 

Perennials: Alan Eckstein

Alan Eckstein is a furniture dealer and interior designer whose eye for an interesting piece of design blends history, craft, and an instinct for the extraordinary.  

Formerly a fashion designer and DJ, he launched Somerset House in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, during the pandemic, and has since built a reputation for pairing iconic, mid-century pieces with covetable discoveries and unexpected finds.
