Designer Suzanne Tucker has perfected a unique approach to creating elegant, sumptuously appointed residences eminently suited to their owners and their architectural and geographic context. Tucker describes her process as part anthropology, part archaeology, part psychology: she uncovers her clients’ dreams and desires for their home, and the nuances of their lifestyle, and applies her vast knowledge of decorative arts and antiques to compose splendid spaces perfectly tailored for each life.
Extraordinary Interiors, Tucker’s third monograph, presents a selection of the designer’s recent work, including a mountain retreat featuring a symphony of natural tones and textures; a Bay Area pied-à-terre exhibiting international flair; a Manhattan apartment whose muted hues showcase an exceptional art collection; a beach house that marries high sophistication with leisurely living; a magnificent San Francisco townhouse whose intarsia floors, coffered ceilings, and natatorium are inspired by historic Italian palazzi; and Tucker’s own oasis-like home in Montecito, California.
Suzanne Tucker is recognized as one of the country’s leading interior designers. She and partner Timothy F. Marks founded Tucker & Marks in 1986, and the firm has long been considered one of the most respected and successful interior design firms in the United States. Tucker’s work has been featured in international magazines and numerous books including her own, Rooms to Remember: The Classic Interiors of Suzanne Tucker (Monacelli; 2009) and Suzanne Tucker Interiors: The Romance of Design (Monacelli; 2013).
Across the varied styles and locations of these remarkable residences, Extraordinary Interiors heralds Tucker’s passion for architecture and the decorative arts, and consummate skill for creating timeless, luxurious, and exquisitely detailed art- and antique-filled rooms. The Garden Conservancy hosts the designer for a live webinar on December 1 from 2 – 3 Eastern time. Conservancy Members $5 per person; General admission $15. A recording of this webinar will be sent to all registrants a few days after the event. We encourage you to register, even if you cannot attend the live webinar.
