Michael Smith Interiors

"Michael S. Smith’s seventh book, Classic by Design, is a feast for the eyes and mind. From his own pied-à-terre in Madrid to George Lucas’s château in Provence, every project in the book has been decorated with careful consideration and elegant beauty." — Elle Decor

"Michael S. Smith, a storied AD100 Hall of Famer, has a résumé that most of us can only dream of. After designing interiors for Michelle Obama and Shonda Rhimes—the latter wrote the foreword to this book—he was appointed by President Obama to serve on the Committee for the Preservation of the White House in 2010. Needless to say, Smith understands classic American design, and we find ourselves flipping through his diplomatic and residential work time and time again. So before the ballot boxes open, we’re electing Classic by Design to our reading list." — Architectural Digest

"...a celebration of his design aesthetic — a flawless blend of European classicism and American modernism, illustrating his vast range of style." — New York Social Diary

"This book is a celebration of Smith’s design aesthetic, a flawless blend of European classicism and American modernism." — Cafe Designs

"I could never live without all the Michael S. Smith books!" — Mallory Mathison of Mallory Mathison, Inc. (Veranda)
