Rise of the Decorator

Dorothy Draper was a well known female interior designer.  She established her own company Dorothy Draper and Company.  At the time it was considered strange for a woman to go into business.  She revolutionized the concept of design by breaking away from historical interiors.  She invented Modern Baroque.  She loved public space.  Most of her interiors were public spaces.  To her public spaces represented a place for people to come and feel elevated in the presence of great beauty, where the senses could look and feel and absorb the meaning of a quality life.
