About the Speakers:
Lady Henrietta Spencer Churchill is an English interior designer and decorator and founder of Woodstock Designs. She has been included in the list of 100 Leading Interior Designers by House & Garden Magazine on multiple occasions. She is the author of several design books and personal accounts, including Blenheim and the Churchill Family: A Personal Portrait, an anecdotal and historical account of her family’s ancestral home.
Cuban-born Hermes Mallea is partner at the Manhattan-based architectural firm M(Group). After visiting Cuba as an adult, Mallea found inspiration in the “romantic, extroverted, informal, family-oriented” personality of his childhood home and has written multiple books documenting Havana’s glamorous past and celebrating Cuban designers.
Ben Page gleaned knowledge of land, natural systems, and horticulture from a young age, spending time on his grandparent’s Tennessee farms. Now a Principal Landscape Architect at Page|Duke in Nashville, he has been published nationally and featured on HGTV, and has received numerous awards for his richly detailed work, which often incorporates a deep combination of historical influences interpreted for the 21st century.
MESDA is pleased to welcome back J. Thomas Savage, Director for Museum Affairs at Winterthur Museum, Garden, and Library, as the Design Seminar Master of Ceremonies. Tom’s lifelong passion for country estates and extraordinary collections has led him around the world in pursuit of those with refined taste and style. A native of the South, Tom was previously the senior vice president of Sotheby’s Institute of Art and he served as curator and director of museums for the Historic Charleston Foundation.
