Although ultimately considered the dean of American interior designers by many in the field, his name and much of his legacy will forever be linked to an even-more celebrated decorator: the Yankee patrician <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/decorators-know-sister-parish\/\">Sister Parish<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In talent and in temperament, Parish couldn\u2019t have been more different than that of this genial, ever-inquisitive and modern-minded Southerner. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet together, they were like \u201ctwo flints striking against each other and starting a fire,\u201d writes Adam Lewis in his 2005 biography <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Albert Hadley: The Story of America\u2019s Preeminent Interior Designer<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Born in Springfield, Tennessee, Hadley\u2019s father owned an agricultural equipment business. The family moved frequently. His mother, Elizabeth, busied herself decorating their new houses, and her son took an interest in her efforts. Captivated by home decorating and fashion magazines, along with Hollywood movies, Hadley knew by his early teens that his destiny was in New York. He attended a local college for two years, but eager to get on with his future, he soon apprenticed himself to A. Herbert Rogers, one of nearby Nashville\u2019s leading decorators. A couple of years later, he was drafted into the army, and when he returned after the end of the World War II he took advantage of the G.I. Bill to finally move to New York and attend Parsons School of Design.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_84423\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84423\" class=\"wp-image-84423 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1133830_l_org_l.jpg\" alt=\"1133830_l_org_l\" width=\"580\" height=\"342\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-84423\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/chaise-longues\/famed-sister-parish-albert-hadley-chic-chaise-daybed-bench-ceruse-oak\/id-f_1133830\/\">A daybed designed by Sister Parish and Hadley for Edith Hale Harkness in the late 1970s<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Parsons, the school\u2019s president, the urbane and supremely gifted designer Van Day Truex, took a shine to the young Hadley and offered him a teaching job after he graduated in 1949. The six years he spent as a professor at Parsons expanded and deepened his knowledge of design history, providing him with a vast reservoir of erudition, which enabled him to work fluidly in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/style\/georgian\/\">Georgian<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/style\/victorian\/\">Victorian<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/style\/mid-century-modern\/\">modern<\/a> styles when he eventually practiced his trade. In 1956, he left the school to work for Eleanor Brown, the formidable founder of McMillen, Inc., then the leading decorating firm in the country. There, he refined his talent for rationalizing floor plans and drawing curtain treatments. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He \u201calways thought out rooms intellectually,\u201d recalls <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/bunny-williams\/furniture\/\">Bunny Williams<\/a> in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parish-Hadley: Tree of Life<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a memoir about the firm. Williams, who was mentored by him when she worked at the firm, coedited the book with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/introspective-magazine\/brian-mccarthy\/\">Brian McCarthy<\/a>, a fellow alum. \u201cHis incredible working drawings were pretty close to how the projects were carried out.\u201d By contrast, she writes, Sister Parish worked by instinct and intuition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, it was because Parish couldn\u2019t draw and had no real sense for how to design the bones of a room that she found herself in need of someone with drafting skills as her projects became more complex in the late 1950s. For a recommendation of someone who might fit the bill, she turned to Truex, by then the design director at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/tiffany-and-co\/\">Tiffany &amp; Co<\/a>. He thought of Hadley. Legend has it that Hadley was summoned to Parish\u2019s grand Fifth Avenue apartment and was immediately flustered when she opened the door herself in her stocking feet, and her Pekingese came charging at him. Parish, he was soon to learn, delighted in discomfiting people, which is why she then asked the very proper Southerner to zip up the back of her still partially open cocktail dress. Years later, the interior designer Tom Britt quipped to Adam Lewis that that zip caused \u201cthe biggest explosion in 20<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-century decorating.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_84373\" style=\"width: 553px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84373\" class=\"wp-image-84373 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/bronfman-LR.jpg\" width=\"543\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/bronfman-LR.jpg 543w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/bronfman-LR-445x350.jpg 445w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/bronfman-LR-120x94.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 543px) 100vw, 543px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-84373\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Hadley-designed apartment of Seagram&#8217;s chairman Edgar Bronfman and his wife. Photo by Edward Lee Cave via <a href=\"http:\/\/mgross.com\/writing\/books\/740-park\/interiors\/bronfman\/\">Michael Gross<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At McMillen, Hadley had been involved in design projects for some of America\u2019s grandest families, but when he went to work for \u201cSis,\u201d he was immediately recruited for the most prestigious one yet: decorating the family quarters of the Kennedy White House. Ever modest, Hadley insisted his sole role had been sketching the curtains. But he did admit to having a more vital contribution to another early project: the sprawling prewar apartment at 740 Park Avenue of Seagram\u2019s chairman Edgar Bronfman and his wife.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The couple had approved the designs for a typical Parish apartment, full of chintz and fine antiques, before they went on a vacation in Mexico. But after they left, they sent a telegram: \u201cStop all work. We want a floating apartment.\u201d Parish had no clue what they meant and was horrified when Hadley explained that the Bronfmans wanted something more open and modern. However, the prospect thrilled him. Hadley replaced one of the drawing room walls with glass and installed a grand travertine staircase. Having regained her composure, no doubt with Hadley\u2019s coaxing, Parish held up her end of the decorating project by selecting a collection of important 18<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-century chairs to play counterpoint to the flowing open spaces and limestone stairs he designed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The finished project, still relatively traditional but refreshingly spare, anticipated the transitional style so popular today. This bracing new vision demonstrated the decorative power that this yin-and-yang pair would wield in the years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_84403\" style=\"width: 563px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84403\" class=\"wp-image-84403 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/NY-AR385_PARK1_G_20101220211816.jpg\" width=\"553\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/NY-AR385_PARK1_G_20101220211816.jpg 553w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/NY-AR385_PARK1_G_20101220211816-525x350.jpg 525w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/NY-AR385_PARK1_G_20101220211816-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 553px) 100vw, 553px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-84403\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The library of Brooke Astor&#8217;s Hadley-designed Manhattan apartment featured lacquered oxblood walls with brass trim.

The residence, while classic, felt fresh and airy. Most striking was the chic library \u2014 an important room for the Lady Bountiful of the New York Public Library. He had the bookcases and walls painted with 10 layers of oxblood enamel and trimmed with brass. The effect was utterly glamorous, yet with its overstuffed chintz sofas and armchairs, thoroughly inviting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Annette de la Renta, who employed the firm on several family projects, admired how easily Hadley moved between decorating styles and project scales, pointedly observing that the designer \u201cwas never dismissive of taste that wasn\u2019t his own.\u201d That was the opposite of Parish, who could be scathing in her judgments. Taste was important to her, as was social background. She was famous for turning down potential clients, especially the parvenu, whose credentials didn\u2019t meet her standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In light of this, it is extraordinary that she and Hadley had such a remarkably creative and fairly copacetic partnership that lasted more than 30 years. Because for Hadley, decorating was a rather generous pursuit. Acknowledging that he\u2019d designed many much-publicized homes for the likes of Astor, Babe Paley and Happy Rockefeller, he told one interviewer, \u201c[N]ames are not the point. It\u2019s what you can achieve for the simplest person. Glamour is part of it, but glamour is not the essence. Design is about discipline and reality, not about fantasy beyond reality.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gracious and kind, and an eager mentor, Hadley influenced a legion of young designers with his brilliant eye and his gift for synthesizing classic and contemporary styles. As legendary as Sister Parish may be, it is Hadley\u2019s decorative vision that most truly lives on.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The iconic Albert Livingston Hadley Jr. (1920\u20132012) was an interior designer of immense talent and rare distinction.
