Back to the 2014 AD100 List

Simplicity, refinement, and light are the watchwords of interior designer Thomas Pheasant, and his recently launched limited-edition home-furnishings collection, like his lines for McGuire and Baker, possesses all the cool classicism that devotees have come to expect from the Washington, D.C., talent. Smitten by Palladian architecture (he names the Villa Almerico Capra and the National Gallery of Art as inspirations), Pheasant crafts eclectic yet tranquil rooms that project nobility and timelessness, from a restrained English-style country house to an urban retreat with a mellow midcentury-modern vibe. Interiors like these fill the pages of his new book, Thomas Pheasant: Simply Serene (Rizzoli). Other notable productions include Blair House, the official White House guest residence, as well as the historic Hay-Adams hotel. thomaspheasanom
