William Diamond and Anthony Baratta are in the business of invention. In twenty-eight years of collaboration, the New York City-based duo has created a design style without limits: one that defies predictability, embraces the extraordinary, and begs to be loved and lived in. Featuring stunning new photography from Michel Arnaud, All-American: The Exuberant Style of William Diamond and Anthony Baratta is a compendium of the designers’ most recent, most ambitious, and most exciting projects. From a traditional Colonial house in Connecticut and a log cabin in Idaho that overlooks the Rockies, to the New York City apartments that define urbane living, the range and innovation of Diamond Baratta Design’s work is presented in all its artistry and extravagance.
