He learned a lot from his friends, Tony Hail and Michael Taylor, but his "look" was totally individual.<br />One of his best, and most unique, interiors was his own Knob Hill apartment that was photographed by Architectural Degist, and made a "star" of him! His early death was a great loss.

Never heard of the lampless era. What strikes me first if the stand AD iciness and heavy vegetation.<br /><br />I enjoy your style histories. Are there charts showing the ebb and flow of popularity, say, of mirrored furniture? It's done with hemlines.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154846109609330503noreply@blogger.com
