The eagerly anticipated first monograph to celebrate the
fifty-years-and-counting career of decorating legend Mario Buatta.
Influenced by the understated elegance of Colefax and Fowler and
the doyenne of exuberant American decor, Sister Parish, Buatta
reinvented the English Country House style stateside for clients
such as Henry Ford II, Barbara Walters, Malcolm Forbes, and Mariah
Carey, and for Blair House, the President's guest quarters. The
designer is acclaimed for his sumptuous rooms that layer fine
antiques, confectionary curtains, and sublime colorations, creating
an atmosphere of lived-in opulence. This lavishly illustrated
survey-filled with images taken for the foremost shelter magazines
as well as many unpublished photographs from the designer's own
archive-closely follows Buatta's highly documented career from his
professional start in the 1950s working for department store B.
Altman & Co. and Elisabeth Draper, Inc. to his most recent
projects, which include some of the country's finest residences.
Buatta shares exclusive insights into his process, his own rules
for decorating, and personal stories of his adventures along the
way.
