The work of influential, award-winning interior designer Thomas Pheasant
is best described as "contemporary classical" and simply serene.
Celebrated interior designer Thomas Pheasant is best known for his
seamless melding of tradition and the contemporary. His spaces are fresh
and of the age yet also enduringly timeless. Balancing classical
elements, like recessed paneling, pilasters, crown moldings, and carved
plaster garlands, Pheasant introduces modern details, sometimes
including such flourishes and surprising complements as a scroll coffee
table and a room screen of ribbed, translucent glass. Unafraid of
combining pieces from various traditions, he achieves a sense of harmony
and balance. This lavish offering of his work gives the reader a
sensible, artful approach to interior design, presenting models of great
aesthetic subtlety and beauty. Based in Washington, D.C., Thomas
Pheasant works around the globe. Recent projects include the redesign of
Blair House, the President’s guest house on Pennsylvania Avenue across
from the White House, and apartments in Washington, New York, Paris, and
Moscow. Never a strict by-the-book traditionalist, Pheasant responds to
and sees in classicism its rational order, its quietude, its serenity.
