One of the most original and respected talents in design, Smith is appreciated for his impeccable taste and style. Informed by a deep understanding of the history of design and the art world, Smith's work is the epitome of elegance and luxury, reflecting an unusual sense of scale and dramatization, as well as a skillful use of craftsmanship and materials. His interiors have earned lasting accolades throughout the industry, as well as a devoted following from prominent clients, from Hollywood's super-talented figures like Shonda Rhimes to former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

This book is a celebration of Smith's design aesthetics, a flawless composition of European classicism and American modernism. The works range from a contemporary beach house in East Hampton to a Moroccan-influenced getaway in Mallorca, as well as two of his own homes, including his remarkable apartment in a 19th-century palace in Madrid.

Smith shares his inspirations and design process, and explores what makes a space truly comfortable: Can people relax in the seating? Are the furnishings arranged to encourage conversation? Is there enough light, and is it flattering? The book is both a source of inspiration and education, from a design virtuoso.
