QUOTE

• Samuel designed interiors to endure for the long term. Forget fast fashion — his clients maintained his decoration for decades, often until their death. He created a classic backdrop for them that became richer and more beautiful as they added their own personal layers to it. “I hate it when people say, ‘Do as you wish.’ I like to build on my clients’ taste and ideas,” the designer once said. “The fact is that however refined or inventive a project may be, it remains lifeless if its occupants don’t bring to it their own finds or quirks.”
