MEET THE TASTEMAKER: Tori Mellott, Tuckernuck’s Creative Director of Home will be in Darien at the Meadowlands at the DCA October 6th. 

Every design-obsessed adult was once a design-obsessed kid. For @torimellott, that meant rearranging furniture, sketching rooms, and curating her Laura Ashley bedding with real conviction.

She grew up in a tiny town north of Pittsburgh and cycled through majors at Penn State: theater, then fine arts, then art history. A transfer to NYU led to an internship at the late, great HomeStyle under legendary editor Suzy Slesin. One taste of shelter magazines and she was hooked.

What followed reads like a masthead hall of fame: House Beautiful, ELLE DECOR, Domino, and Traditional Home, plus a turn in television on The Nate Berkus Show. She later crossed to the brand side as Style Director at Schumacher and Frederic. Today she is Creative Director of Home at @tuckernuck which has a planned opening in Darien in 2027. 

This Tuesday, October 6, Mellott moderates a lively conversation on The Thrill of the Hunt with Peter Dunham, Ben Reynaert, and Alexander Widener at The Design Social Pop-Up at @dariendca, 5 to 8 pm. Expect great interior design intel from people who know.

PLUS: Wednesday, October 7 from 9AM to 5PM meet and shop with more than 33 creatives and artists behind some of the most respected boutique textile, wallpaper and home product brands in the US and the UK.

We're thrilled to announce a dynamic discussion taking place at our Darien Design Social preview event TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY on Tuesday evening, October 6 from 5 to 8PM at Meadowlands at the DCA.✨⁠
⁠
From 6 to 7PM, join Tori Mellott, Creative Director of Tuckernuck Home, for THE THRILL OF THE HUNT, a lively conversation with interior and textile designer Peter Dunham, editor, stylist and author Benjamin Reynaert, and Alexander Widener, director, collector and owner of Widener Company.✨⁠
⁠
We'll explore how they've cultivated an eye for antiques and what they've learned about spotting quality, trusting instinct and knowing when to walk away. We'll also ask about the pieces that got away, and the treasures they still can't believe they found.✨⁠
⁠
This talk is sponsored by the New York Design Center will take place in the Design Social lounge sponsored by Casa Branca.✨⁠
⁠
Tickets to Darien Design Social are going to go fast, so head on over to the link in our profile to get yours before it’s too late!✨
