The Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA) is pleased to announce the next event in the Breakfast & Books series, in partnership with the Rizzoli Bookstore. Once again, the Rizzoli Bookstore will welcome ICAA members and guests before store hours on Wednesday, September 12, to hear from award-winning designers Jamie Drake and Caleb Anderson of Drake/Anderson, who will be discussing Adam Lewis' book Billy Baldwin: The Great American Decorator.
Drake/Anderson creates sophisticated interiors that are luxurious, refined, and always have a touch of the unexpected. Dynamic eclecticism is the hallmark of the New York-based firm, whose work forges a balance between timelessness and today. At the heart of every project is the belief that the best décor expresses personality and place. The resulting environments are inviting, delightful, and above all resolutely livable.
Drake and Anderson bring their respective takes on glamour, curation, and elegance to bear in a range of luxurious residential and commercial projects. Drake is widely regarded as one of the first designers to popularize Modernism in interior design, beginning in the 1980s. He is known for his fearless approach to color as well as his fashion-conscious sensibility. Anderson is lauded for his layered approach to interiors and the confidence with which he juxtaposes a variety of historic periods from the design continuum.
Drake and Anderson have completed elegant, polished interiors in many of Manhattan’s “it” buildings—including One57, the Baccarat Residences, and Herzog & de Meuron’s 56 Leonard—as well as in sprawling Hamptons estates, luxurious Malibu beach houses, stately London and Paris townhouses, and lush retreats from Bermuda to the Middle East and around the world.
Individually and as a team, Drake and Anderson have achieved the highest awards and accolades in the industry, including the prestigious 2018 Elle Decor A-List, the 2018 Architectural Digest AD100 list, Interior Design magazine’s Hall of Fame, House Beautiful’s Master Class and Next Wave, and many more.
Light refreshments will be available before the presentation, and there will be opportunity to purchase books afterwards.
