The East Hampton Historical Society brought together acclaimed interior designer Stephen Sills in conversation with David Netto at the society’s seventh annual Summer Lecture Luncheon held at the Maidstone Club in East Hampton on August 10. The theme of the conversation was “Making Houses & Gardens.”

Sills just released his third book, “Stephen Sills: A Vision for Design,” with text by Netto. During the talk to a sold-out room, Netto engaged Sills in conversation, walking through the designer’s projects, which featured a wide variety of styles and locations —including the East End of Long Island — and his own house and garden, which Karl Lagerfeld described as “The chicest house in America.”
