For the past 30 years, Thomas Jayne, founder and principal of Jayne Design Studio, has designed rooms that reflect a strong connection to history and place. He draws upon their past for inspiration, seeking details that will deepen and enhance their decoration. Whether the site is a SoHo loft in a late-19th-century industrial building or a historic Federal house built by a New England whaling merchant, the settings become part of the narrative, their history providing the impetus for the design. Jayne’s most recent publication, Classical Principals for Modern Design takes on the redoubtable Edith Wharton and her co-author Ogden Codman, whose 1897 book The Decoration of Houses is acknowledged as the Bible of American interior design. Thomas and husband Richmond Ellis divide their time between their SoHo loft in New York (housing a major collection of American culinary books spanning 200 years) and an 1836 Creole townhouse in the French Quarter of New Orleans.
