Timeless Elegance: The Houses of David Easton (2010)

In this rare examination of the work of one of America’s preeminent interior designers and architects, David Easton, we are treated to a retrospec¬tive of his storied career. The versatility of his talent is displayed in examples of his work that range from a 45-room Georgian-style house in Charlottesville, Virginia, to a Mediterranean stucco house in Mexico and a modern house in Aspen, colourado. Black-and-white pencil draw¬ings alongside museum-quality watercolours by Easton’s partner, James Steinmeyer, show the conception and development of the rooms, accompanied by stunning photographs of the finished interiors. Written with Annette Tapert, author of The Power of Style and former contribut¬ing editor to Architectural Digest and with a foreword by famed designer Albert Hadley, Timeless Elegance will serve as homage to David Easton as well as an inspira¬tion to his many fans. Condition: very good.
