The house of the famed fashion designer Arnold Scaasi.

Fashion designer Arnold Scaasi was famous for his enviable evening gowns. So it’s a bit of a surprise that his Quogue, Long Island, residence relied so heavily on colorful and worldly woven textiles. While Scaasi designed the white angled-base chairs and ottomans himself, the blooming red flowers are what the eye naturally gravitates toward. The framed sculpture behind a mercury lamp is by Lucas Samaras.

The cover of the January/February 1971 AD included the words The Home As a Work of Art. Its image certainly succeeded in functioning as such. Pictured beyond a hunter green border was one corner of the drawing room of the Los Angeles home of designer William L. Chidester. Red and white roses might be easily recognizable in the foreground, but their lush backdrop only continues to entice as the eye moves onward.

For the July/August 2020 issue of AD, decorative arts editor Mitchell Owens reexamined Cecil Beaton’s 1950s conservatory, pictured above. Included in the Fall 1969 issue of Architectural Digest, the British countryside space has long been a favorite of garden designer Alexander Hoyle. Hoyle observed many district elements of the interior, including “English Baroque proportions, a stone floor in 18th-century French style, Gothic windows that are very Strawberry Hill, and a central fountain that follows the Islamic concept of paradise.” He added that “The combination of elements firmly sets it in an Edwardian Revival idiom.” The room didn’t provide too much room for plant cultivation, however, alongside wicker furniture with blue and white upholstery. Potted African violets, lilies, geraniums, gloxinias, and Kentia palms were, however, included.
