OUR MISSION
Housed in a Japanese modernist 1960s residence in the center of East Hampton, Onna House is a sanctuary filled with art, furniture, and objects by women artists and designers exclusively. With a dual mission to support and create visibility for these artists and provide a gallery space to display their work, founder Lisa Perry combines her passions under one roof to carefully curate the private home and studio. Onna House acts as a space for women artists to engage and collaborate and for collectors to discover new work.
OUR FOUNDER
Lisa Perry is a designer, collector, curator and the founder of Onna House. Lisa’s studies of fashion and textiles led to her collecting vintage couture clothing from the late 1960s, eventually starting her own lifestyle brand to reflect the spirit of that time. A highlight of Lisa’s design work has been creating limited-edition collections in collaboration with artists or foundations (such as Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Indiana), reflecting years of personal collecting across modernism, pop and minimalism. Lisa’s love of home and interior design has also been a long time passion, highlighted in Lisa Perry Homes, published by Assouline. Lisa is also a lifelong advocate for women's rights with decades of support for women's organizations. This advocacy has come full circle with the creation of Onna House.
