Hrvol Flores and architect and designer Richard Sammons.
Portfolios of contemporary projects present the award-winning work of Juan Pablo Molyneux, Studio Peregalli, Quinlan & Francis Terry, Fairfax & Sammons, Gil Schafer, Historical Concepts, Ferguson & Shamamian, Allan Greenberg, Robert A.
M. Stern, and many others. Classical Interiors: Historical and Contemporary is the authoritative survey of the best of classical design.
