Description: "Robert Couturier's interiors reflect a dialogue between old world elegance and contemporary design. His masterful approach effortlessly brings many eras together, making eighteenth-century French furniture appear perfectly at home with twenty-first-century objects. Known for composing adventurous rooms with verve and wit, and for heis encyclopedic knowledge of the decorative arts, he is among the most closely watched designers working today. His interiors highlight the importance of stimulating the five senses, from the tactile feel of upholstery to the visual presentation of objects that leads a person through a space."--Jacket flap.
