In 1964 Van Day Truex purchased an abandoned farmhouse that he would name Chaumet – “thatched cottage” – on twenty acres of land outside the town of Gargas. He made the necessary adaptations while ensuring that the house was in keeping with its surroundings. It embodied the rustic simplicity of an 18th-century farmhouse of this region while incorporating his preference for unadorned stone and unglazed terra cotta tiles for the floors, and the simplest of decoration – cotton and linen textiles, simple furnishings of natural materials, and a neutral color palette of beige. Truex maintained “In design, Mother Nature is our best teacher.” * Photo via @genemeyer3 * #vandaytruex #deanofdesign #chaumet #provence #restrained #understated #natureasmuse #naturalmaterials #naturalfibers #neutral #timeless #classicchic #wicker #rattan https://www.instagram.com/p/B0qWNZ5Hn9M/?igshid=1n5sx3ihd3csh

“Hail Stephen!” was the heading of a post I wrote for my blog The Art of the Room in 2014, featuring the house that would launch the career of one of America’s finest interior designers, Stephen Sills, whose singular and inimitable style is the epitome of classic, timeless chic and something indescribable: the sublime. * “Hail Stephen!” at http://theartoftheroom.com/2014/07/hail-stephen/ * @stephensillsassociates #stephensills #classicallyinspired #americanchic #classicchic #interiordesign ##collectedandcurated #singularstyle #1980sdesign #1980sinterior https://www.instagram.com/c_w_interiors/p/BxUMsw_JCc0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xd7xrcjjn9b1

The main living area on the Agnelli’s Via XXIV Maggio apartment in Rome designed by Ward Bennett in 1970. Marella’s love of wicker found its way into the design schemes of many of their homes. * Above the Louis XV mantelpiece hangs Oskar Schlemmer’s steel and canvas Figura (1921), while Gustave Moreau’s painting Orestes and the Erinyes (1891) hangs to its left. * Photography by @obertogili * #gianniagnelli #marellaagnelli #wardbennett #romeinterior #viamaggiorome #classiccontemporary #classicchic #1970sdeisgn #oskarschlemmer #gustavemoreau #modernart #frenchsymbolist #wicker #neutralrooms #personalstyle #capotesswans #thelastswan https://www.instagram.com/c_w_interiors/p/Bu_tLQvF36V/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6yh7o4wwc0na

A 1930s vignette in the seductive haute-couture salon designed by Jacques Grange for Parisian collectors features the finest of its era: a shagreen-covered table by Jean-Michel Frank from the house of Elsa Schiaparelli in front of a Pierre Chareau sofa with tapestry upholstery by Jean Lurçat. The luminous silver-leaf screen is by Pierre Legrain; the lush carpet was the creation of Ernest Boiceau.

“Good design is forever.” — Van Day Truex I would be infinitely delighted to return here, day after day, until my end. A sense of sophisticated calm, and a curious eye and intellect, informs a Manhattan sitting room designed by Stephen Sills, where classical lines, form and proportion are interpreted in a modern idiom: scored plaster walls inspired by the Frick, across the street; a suite of Jean-Michel Frank furniture - a modern take on elegant Louis XVI lines; a classically-inspired bust atop a modern fluted plinth from the Trocadero in Paris. A subtle nod to Classicism within a cocoon of understated luxury and undeniable comfort. Not just smitten ...
