The founders of the architecture and design firm Studio SFW know a thing or two about how to bring
lived-in luxury to the table – so that’s exactly what they did when hosting their inaugural SFW Soiree. On a Saturday night in April surrounded by tulip-colored hues and vintage accouterments, the trio behind Studio SFW brought together the region’s most innovative creatives to toast the start of the season.
Designed as a cozy, cottage-style take on their newly launched shop in Rhinebeck, House SFW,
partners Rachael Stollar, Erin Fearins, and Ward Welch brought their creative touch to an intimate
Stanfordville dinner party. Around a lush tablescape inspired by elements found at the shop, tassel-
donned seats were filled by photographer Angela Pham; Millbrook-based interior designer Antony Todd; Jeffrey Caldwell (Global Design Partnerships, West Elm), Millbrook-based painter Elizabeth Hargraves Mandy; Millbrook-based designer Georgina Whitford, and other local creatives and entrepreneurs.
From hand-painted goblets and sumptuous table linens to globally sourced furnishings, each vignette
throughout the home was curated with its guests – and you – in mind.
To inspire the look and feel of your next party, the co-founders have made their spring event shoppable. Ready to up your hosting game? Browse the gorgeous array of items straight from the SFW Soiree dinner table.
