Hallberg incorporates the finest natural and artisanal materials--reclaimed wood, hand-troweled plaster, marble, limestone, crisp linen, and sumptuous wool--but understands that the greatest luxury of all is comfort. This volume chronicles the instinctual process of a designer who eschews hard-and-fast rules for the wonder of breaking them, who leaves no stone unturned in his uncompromising search for beauty, and whose lifelong pursuit of the magical, ineffable, and gorgeous has yielded an incomparable oeuvre.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Hallberg \u003c\/b\u003eis an award-winning Los Angeles-based interior designer and president and design director of two furniture companies, Dennis \u0026amp; Leen and Formations.\u003cb\u003e Mario Lez-Cordero \u003c\/b\u003eis a freelance journalist and the former senior editor of \u003ci\u003eVeranda\u003c\/i\u003e.
