As the weather warms, New Yorkers are flocking to the East End of Long Island for sun, beaches—and design. This weekend sees the debut of Hamptons Contemporary, a design fair conceived by Rick Friedman, founder of ArtHamptons. Events kicks off tonight with a preview hosted by Architectural Digest to benefit the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, whose myriad supporters include interior design stars Simon Doonan, Thom Filicia, and Alexa Hampton, to name a few. The evening’s guests will have the opportunity to partake in a silent auction, with lots benefiting ARF and other Hamptons charities. On Saturday and Sunday, some 160 exhibitors will display their wares—home decor, furnishings, and design—at the 40,000-square-foot Southampton Elks Fairgrounds. In addition to welcoming international companies, Hamptons Contemporary will feature a slew of local designers, whose expertise runs the gamut from wood carving to metalwork, lighting, and more, all made in the area. Below, discover a few talents to watch.

Hamptons Contemporary runs June 3–5; day passes cost $20 each, and VIP passes are $100 per couple.

James DeMartis

The East Hampton–based artist and blacksmith produces raw metal furniture and decorative pieces that emphasize materiality and process, working primarily with indigenous wood and recycled components. Booth #356

David Ebner

Ebner has been making classical furniture and functional objects out of his Bellport studio for more than 30 years. The Scallion coat rack was hand-carved and lathe-turned before being bleached and painted to resemble its namesake. Booth #307

Century Billiards

This family-owned business in Eastport knows billiards—it’s been crafting high-end game tables for over 100 years. The stainless-steel, aluminum, and hardwood boards come in a variety of colors and finishes (the company’s even done custom jobs in Ferrari red). Booth #249

Lampa

Artist Cliff Baldwin creates a wide range of distinctive contemporary lighting in his Aquebogue studio, such as this aluminum, linen, and polycarbonate Cloud Mesa lamp, which appears to hover effortlessly. Booth #159

Nico Yektai

This Sag Harbor–based woodworker specializes in one-of-a-kind carved furniture. At Hamptons Contemporary he’ll be showing his Wall Hung Console #3, part of an ongoing series of floating consoles. Booth #358
