A Cabana Evening with Will Cooper in New York
BY FRANCESCA SIMPSON | HAPPENINGS | 4 NOVEMBER 2025

To celebrate the launch of Cabana’s newest issue and the debut of Cabana on Canal Street, our holiday pop-up at the William White Emporium, designer Will Cooper opened the doors of his New York studio for an intimate evening of warmth, design, and conviviality.
The space was transformed for the occasion. Draped in layers of textiles, including those by Morris & Co., our cover partners for the new issue, the studio was a study in pattern and light. Flickering Cabana candles cast a soft, golden glow across richly upholstered walls, creating an atmosphere that felt at once elegant and deeply personal.

Guests gathered to toast both the magazine’s latest edition and the arrival of the festive Canal Street pop-up, a celebration of craft and color. Cooper’s Studio Slipper Chairs, designed in collaboration with Cabana, offered cozy corners for conversation, each piece a tactile expression of his signature charm and attention to detail.

The evening brought together the extended Cabana family — a circle of friends, collaborators, and muses. Among them were Giovanna Battaglia, Alison Levasseur, and Tom Delavan, who joined in the toast to the new issue and to Will’s creative spirit. As the night unfolded, laughter mingled with candlelight, and the draped studio seemed to hum with the layered beauty that defines both Cooper’s world and Cabana’s own.

A celebration of craftsmanship, community, and the joy of beautiful surroundings, the night was a fitting welcome to the season — and to Cabana’s newest chapter on Canal Street.
