Incollect Magazine - Issue 8

B unny Williams began her remarkable career at the venerable New York City design firm Parish-Hadley, decorators to a clientele that included President and Mrs. John F. Kennedy, Brooke Astor, William and Babe Paley, Mellons, Vanderbilts, and Rockefellers. After 22 years at the firm, she left to start Bunny Williams Interior Design. Now, more than three decades later, she is the recipient of countless honors and awards for interior design, contributions to the design industry, and philanthropic causes. In 2023, she named Elizabeth Lawrence as partner in the interior design firm, which was renamed Williams Lawrence. Bunny has also authored 8 books and in this, her most ambitious to date, she brings us into the glorious garden “rooms” surrounding her house in Connecticut, where her mastery of the tenets of interior design — scale, proportion, color and texture — also apply. Featured are some very special spaces where garden design and interior design become one, and Bunny’s passion for both blossoms into something truly magical. 94 www.incollect.com Bunny Williams: Life in the Garden by Bunny Williams Photography by Annie Schlechter © Rizzoli New York, 2024 rizzoliusa.com and Amazon Photos by Annie Schlechter
