Readers will tour penthouse pied-à-terres, historic homes, and modern bungalows around the lonestar state, discovering a powerful voice in the american design canon and originator of a wholly original aesthetic that has captured the imagination of a nation. Relaxed luxury is the idea of living casually with things a person loves to touch and feel in a way that is approachable and not precious. Relaxed luxury is understated, says dorsey.
