With a mix of sunny open-air informality and 30′s movie-star glamour, Michael Taylor epitomized the “California look” in decorating. Taylor saught to create a “contrast that brings things excitingly to life.” Fusing a very personal vision with a refined set of influences that inspired him, it is no surprise that his beautiful designs are still available today at Michael Taylor showrooms. Here you can find a selection of well crafted, sophisticated furniture, that continues to convey Taylor’s unique intensity and passion for design.
