Name that Mid-Century Designer

Not everyone working in the Mid-Century stuck to stark lines and minimalist aesthetics. A style known as “Hollywood Regency” was very popular among those actually in Hollywood, and today’s mystery designer’s work was much sought after by actors and actresses–as well as those rich people operating in more seedier professions.

More hints:

• Labor intensive lacquer and gilt finishes are characteristics of his work.
• Had a flair for theatrics, making his personality just as sought after as his work.
• Also treasured modern Asian motifs in his work.
