Showcases some of the work of Chilean-born designer Juan Pablo Molyneux (b. 1946). "This volume, the first devoted to the New York-based designer's work, presents more than a dozen of his most recent projects, from a Beaux-Arts mansion in the heart of Buenos Aires to a Park Avenue penthouse. Superb color photographs illustrated these varied homes, providing a personally guided tour replete with insights into Molyneux's structural strategies and furniture selections. Highlighted are features of ornamentation, geometric floor patterns, and trompe l'oeil, the latter regarded by Molyneux as 'a fantasy that provokes reality.'"
