About the Item

Michael Taylor: Interior Design by Stephen M. Salny. Publisher W. W. Norton & Company, 2009. Stated 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket. Signed and inscribed by the author. Michael Taylor (born Earnest Charles Taylor, January 30, 1927 – June 3, 1986) was an American designer best known for creating the "California Look" of interior design. One of Architectural Digest's "20 Greatest Designers of All Time” and "Interior Design Legends". Taylor was noted for his rooms of airiness and light with a prominent use of natural forms and the color white. In 1956, he founded his design company, Michael Taylor Interiors, Inc. Under Michael Taylor Designs, he manufactured his own designs and in 1985 partnered with Paul Weaver to develop and market interior and exterior furnishings to the wholesale design trade. His business soon became the favorite of San Francisco's elite, inheriting many of the famous designer Frances Elkins's clients after her death in 1953. Taylor was Elkins's greatest disciple, although they never worked together, he incorporated her use of complementary colors and the furnishings of designers Jean-Michel Frank and Alberto Giacometti. He mixed casual pieces with formal, modern rustic with antiques to create comfortable and eclectic interiors that were sought after by Hollywood stars, society leaders, and prominent civic leaders. Taylor worked continuously until his death in 1986. This is a hard to find design book especially signed. NPT Books, a division of Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
