From inner front flap of dustjacket (in full): "Since establishing his design office in New York in 1985, Thad Hayes has become one of the most sought after interior designers. The twenty-one residences features here show why. Clean, sharp, and elegant, Hayes-designed spaces are intelligent expressions of sensitive luxuriousness. Unpretentious and yet cooly sophisticated, the work is marked by its tendency toward serene composition and a subtle color palette, by rooms that embody meditative understatement and yet demonstrate an appreciation for utility and comfort. Generously embracing both the period and the modern, significant objects and simple ones, furniture he finds and furniture he designs, Hayes' interiors are wonderful demonstrations of aesthetic sensitivity to nuance and style".

About this title

Synopsis

Since establishing his office in New York in 1985, Thad Hayes has become one of the most sought-after young interior designers. As the twenty-two residences here show, he is noted for light-filled interiors characterized by calm colors, quietude, and elegance. His interiors embrace the period and the modern, significant objects and simple ones, furniture he finds and pieces he designs. Hayes’s rooms resound in meditative understatement but are not afraid of being daring. From a penthouse on Central Park, a Deco duplex on Park Avenue, or a pied-à-terre at the Pierre Hotel to a Palm Beach retreat and Hamptons hideaway, his designs are remarkable for their symbiotic sensitivity to the client and his own subtle, extraordinarily beautiful aesthetic.
