Haute Home

Easy-living furniture was the talk of the town—or perhaps Fashion Island—when Tommy Bahama opened its first home store, and it was naturally cause to celebrate. A ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house kicked off the day of partying, which culminated with a grand opening soirée benefiting the Beckstrand Cancer Foundation. Some 500 design enthusiasts relaxed with handcrafted beverages, light cuisine and desserts from Tommy Bahama Island Grille, and wandered casually through the 5,000-square-foot space, eyeing the bedding, sofas, tables and decor they’d soon be adding to their oceanfront abodes. But have no fear: New collections will debut regularly at the store, so you can always keep it coastal cool. Photography by Stefanie Keenan
