Richard Mishaan
Won’t you come in? Theodore Alexander invites you to enter the world of Richard Mishaan. Architect, author, decorator, epicurean, tastemaker, and furniture designer, as Theodore Alexander introduces The Richard Mishaan Collection. Richard Mishaan’s style defies classification. As a lifelong student of design and architecture, Mishaan mixes styles, periods, colors and textiles with an artist’s eye. Columbian-born, Mishaan’s point of view is eclectic, diverse and thoroughly at home in the world. After studying architecture at Columbia University, Mishaan apprenticed with Phillip Johnson. Today, Mishaan takes a place among modern masters of interior design and decoration with his own eponymous firm based in New York City. Of course, Mishaan has designed furniture throughout his storied career – for the homes of celebrities, power brokers and collectors. The Richard Mishaan Collection from Theodore Alexander brings the designer’s exclusive aesthetic to discerning designers and their clients. The collection – over 50 signature pieces – includes designs for the whole home: living room, dining room, bedroom. Pieces move fluidly and creatively in a designer’s floor plan. Favorites include the curvaceous Kyoto Sofa, the Carlo Side Chair (don’t miss the elongated sabots), and the Duke Cocktail Table with distinctive inverted corner leg detailing. Finishing touches matter in Mishaan’s world: Four diverse and unique gold-trim urns comprise the Greenbrier Vase quartet. Perfection. The Theodore Alexander reputation for impeccable craftsmanship drew Mishaan to the company. Rich synergies between the creative design and manufacturing process are especially evident in lacquered and hand-painted signature pieces, like the eight-panel Ming Lacquered Screen and the Kyoto Regency Sideboard. Many designs celebrate the rich fusion of East and West. Richard Mishaan is the mix master: antiquarian and modernist, minimalist and maximalist, collector and iconoclast.
