DESCRIPTION:
The legendary interior design firm Parish-Hadley Associates set the standard for American style in the finest homes for more than three decades, from the 1960s through the 1990s. Yet the fertile partnership between Parish and Hadley also greatly influenced the taste, style, creative process, and practices of the designers who worked for them. Throughout its colorful history, Parish-Hadley was commissioned by the most prestigious families in the country, from the Kennedys at the White House to the Astors, Rockefellers, and Gettys. In this volume, 30 of the most renowned designers relate in detail their personal experiences working at the firm, accompanied by images they have chosen of their own work, past and present, illustrating how their designs were shaped by Parish-Hadley.
“You can’t say ‘Parish-Hadley’ without tipping your cap toward the revered interior firm that’s inspired the design community since the ’60s. With prestigious commissions from the American elite (think Astor, Rockefeller and Kennedy), Sister Parish and Albert Hadley spent three decades envisioning lush, never-overdone classic and contemporary living spaces. Here, 30 renowned designers revisit lessons learned from the iconic duo. Take notes!”
Top Quality Interior Design 'Idea' Book I really enjoyed this book! One cool aspect of it is that Bunny Williams and gang have influenced do many other designers and decorators and you get a real sense of the varied work of the 'graduates' of the 'House of Hadley' I also enjoy looking at design books to get new ideas. This book would make a nice gift (maybe more for city home dwellers, or high level design fans). Beautiful book!. "What a job!" according to Annie. This book is an absolute joy. The narrative of the many employees of Parish-Hadley give a real insight into the workings and personal relationships of this legendary design company. The room pictures are interesting but not the best part of the book. The personal sharing of each employee made me dream of being able to work at Parish-Hadley. I loved this large beautiful book.. "Tree of LifeBeautiful Book!" according to sasha. Beautiful Book. I gave it as a gift and my friend was very pleased!
