We are pleased to announce the launch of the Riviera Collection, a new outdoor furniture collection by award-winning San Francisco interior designer Suzanne Tucker. Suzanne worked side-by-side with the legendary Michael Taylor, whose now iconic “California Look” took the design world by storm. Often referred to as his protégée, Suzanne has interpreted Taylor’s mastery of scale and proportion, as well as his love for the clean lines and perfect pitch of classic 18th century furniture, into a timeless and elegant outdoor furniture collection suitable for a wide variety of design styles. The Riviera Collection by Suzanne Tucker for Michael Taylor Designs pays homage to the chic yet casual lifestyle of Santa Barbara – her hometown, often referred to as the Riviera of the West. The Riviera collection features a unique combination of teak and handwoven easy- care resin wicker. Available at all Michael Taylor Designs showrooms and representatives.
Tucker & Marks
Suzanne's collaboration with Chesney's - the world’s leading supplier of handcrafted luxury fireplaces - stems from a joint appreciation for fine craftsmanship, exquisite materials and sophisticated design. From her passionate travels throughout Italy, France and England, Suzanne was inspired by the decorative arts and ornamental vernacular in each country, as well as by her own extensive use of antique architectural elements. This has resulted in a collection of timeless designs that fit a wide variety of design vocabularies, from traditional to contemporary. Photograph: The Bellagio Mantel by Suzanne Tucker for Chesney's
