Fabulous!: The Dazzling Interiors of Tom Britt

Description

For readers who enjoyed Mario Buatta, Tom Britt's monograph documents the fifty-year career of one of America's greatest designers.

A must-have addition to Rizzoli's list of books on the modern masters of interior design. Fabulous: The Dazzling Interiors of Tom Britt is a sweeping survey of (and the first book about) the AD100 interior designer's grand way with decoration.

"Tom Britt is a member of Architectural Digest's illustrious AD100 List which is a roster of the very best in architecture and interior design. In his monograph entitled Fabulous!, Britt looks back at his career and the many, well, fabulous homes he's designed. Britt designs for the one percenter, hence, an aesthetic that owes a lot to the traditional and neoclassical with a smattering of chinoiserie - a look that will never go out of style." -Forbes.com "The aptly named Fabulous explores the imaginative oeuvre of Tom Britt's 50-year career." -Veranda Magazine "This gorgeous volume divides Britt's portfolio into four categories: Exotic, Modern, Historical, and Classic as Britt's inimitable style merges saturated colors with an easy luxury." -Society Diaries
