Annual Lecture & Luncheon

Amanda Lindroth is our guest speaker this year!

We invite you to join us for the Eighth Annual Lecture & Luncheon to benefit the New Canaan Nature Center. The luncheon will be held on Thursday, May 8, 2025 at the New Canaan Country Club. Your attendance at our signature event will help support the Nature Center and its mission to inspire people of all ages to respect, protect and enjoy the world of nature.

Amanda Lindroth grew up in South Florida and her signature style is influenced by the region’s architecture, climate and relaxed polish. White canvas upholstery, boldly colored prints, rattan, wicker and cane paired with English furniture, and straw matting underfoot are a few ingredients of an Amanda Lindroth Design interior.

Amanda’s early career in fashion brought her to New York where she worked for W Magazine and Women’s Wear Daily as a reporter, and later to Europe where she worked as the UK PR Director at Gucci during its renaissance in the 1990s. After relocating to the Bahamas, Amanda began decorating for both commercial projects and private homes. Each of her projects embody the spirit of island living paired with a deep respect for classical design and architecture.

Since its founding in Nassau, Bahamas in 2010, Lindroth Design has become the go-to firm for airy, relaxed design and casual elegance for island dwellers those seeking to imbue a breezy sophistication into their home. Today, the firm has offices in the Bahamas, Palm Beach, & Charleston, South Carolina.

In the fall of 2018, Amanda’s first book, Island Hopping, was published by Vendome and features twenty five of her most prominent projects to date, including The Dunmore hotel on Harbour Island and a family cabin on Great Cranberry Island in Maine. Her second book, Island Dreaming, released by Vendome in October 2024 and features twenty new projectsfrom a grand San Francisco home to a Fifth Avenue apartment, along with plenty of island cottages that epitomize her relaxed island living aesthetic.

Amanda has a design course with the prestigious Create Academy titled “Design Interiors for Entertaining,” and her work has been featured on the covers and in the pages of the most prominent shelter and lifestyle publications and digital media outlets in the US and abroad. She has just completed The Dunlin, Auberge Resorts Collection in South Carolina’s lowcountry, along with the restoration of an iconic Eleuthera hideaway called The Potlatch Club.
