How does a decorator avoid succumbing to the lure of mere "decoration"? How does one steer clear of artificial add-ons, instead clothing a space in poetry, quiet serenity, and attentive care, so that the walls sit perfectly, like a bespoke garment ? For the decorator, applying one ? own rigorous standards to serve the client's needs is the key. The decorator has a duty to study the local culture, to become steeped in the setting for each new project, to be attentive to the sensations evoked by a place in the minds and bodies of the people who live there, while never losing sight of his or her own identity.
Beauty inheres not in the triviality of abundance, but in delicacy, rarity, and restraint. Twelve signature projects - illustrated with more thon six hundred photos - feature interiors in New York, Malibu, Nantucket, London, Athens, Korea, the Caribbean St Moritz, Flanders, and aboard two superyachts.
