Holiday House 2009 featured in NY Times Style Section, December 3, 2009

THERE were toadstools instead of chairs around Harry Heissmann’s table at Holiday House 2009, which he’d decorated in honor of Groundhog Day. Why? “Because it’s the only noncommercial holiday,” he said.

Mr. Heissmann — who put together one of 18 tabletop designs at the show house on East 63rd Street, which benefits the Greater New York City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the breast cancer foundation — was tired and slightly woozy, having been on his feet for three hours.

“Is she kidding?” he asked when one of the guests at Tuesday’s preview party set her glass down on his table. “I just want to go home to my dog.”

Irwin Feld, a dealer of midcentury modern furniture from Stamford, Conn., had scored the front hall of this 1920s limestone mansion, which is owned by Leonard Blavatnik, a billionaire who lives elsewhere. Mr. Feld had freighted his Fourth of July mise-en-scène with mystifying elements, like a wire sculpture of a dodo bird in a nest of eggs. In the baronial stone fireplace, a banner attached to a large chain and printed with the word “Bang!” suggested an end of days theme.

Holiday House is Open Today until 6:00 PM

Holiday shoppers are welcome to tour Holiday House at 2 East 63rd Street. We’ve decorated our beautiful limestone mansion with wonderful table setting and decorating ideas, and on our second floor is  Coco & Cashmere Cafe, featuring chocolate delicacies from MarieBelle & Cashmeres from Magaschoni.
