Every designer has a design idol and I make no secret that Bunny Williams is mine! Regaled by Architectural Digest's Top 100 Designers, as the "decorating world doyenne with a bohemian streak, this designer can create the most beautiful, yet livable rooms that withstand the test of time. After more than two decades with the esteemed Parish-Hadley Design Firm, Bunny set up shop for herself. Along with her celebrated design practice, Bunny also oversees her Manhattan shop, Treillage, with her husband, well known antiques dealer, John Rosselli.
I had the good fortune of meeting Bunny last market, when her new line of outdoor furniture was introduced at Century Furniture. As with all things Bunny designs, that line is exquisite. Click here to see the collection. I asked what was her favorite piece in the collection and she said, "that's like asking someone which one of their children is their favorite", then she laughed and said "I especially like the square dining table because of the versatility it lends to a home. At 54" square it can be used alone when dining with 2-4 or in multiples for larger group". Brilliant! She has mastered the art of creating furniture and rooms with perfect balance and functionality as well as beauty.
I have long admired this design icon and all she represents. When her Beeline Home furniture line first debuted at High Point Market, I was one of the first to see what beauty she had created. She did not disappointed! Having just returned to my practice after a three year sabbatical from grieving over the loss of my son, Bunny's new line inspired me to stay in the game. It reminded me how much I appreciate beautiful furniture and interiors. When I get my own kitchen renovation complete, I plan to incorporate Bunny's beautiful Harvest Table below! The dimensions are perfect for my breakfast room!
