I remember him lamenting that they no longer taught much in the way of the classics in design school. I was fortunate enough to meet him, only for a second. He was charming and delightful. The world is a little less prettier with his passing.

What I particularly love about the example above is that 2 different but compatible patterns were used in the foreground and back and the border delineating each room. Stunning.<br /><br />The tall chinoiserie chest is a lovely piece and so smart to use it there add height and substance to the room. To my sensibilities (subjective) I need to have at least one tall piece--be it bookcases, armoire, a chest like this one with something on top--anything to break the monotony of a lot of similarly sized, smaller pieces displayed around the room. And this vignette does it beautifully in a tasteful and restrained way.Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04833327020818185122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395859504434574133.post-82972932469464467282021-02-21T10:26:15.191-05:002021-02-21T10:26:15.191-05:00I adore Mario Buatta.
