Best Interior Designers 2012











At the time, the fashion industry was just taking off and Tarar, realising the velocity of this opportunity, introduced designer furniture from renowned international brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Kenzo and Fendi. Now, two years into the business, with the last year spent in debilitating illness, which forced him to go in and out of hospitals, Tarar is back with some new and old pieces, as well as a direction for his brand that has crossed into set designing for fashion weeks and exclusive weddings.

Today, his five-storey den  that Tarrar used as his playing field  retains the signature white colour with sheer drapes and sofas that exude luxury in every way. In a dust-filled country like Pakistan, furniture remains in a pristine state through a herculean effort by Tarrar’s team. With his reinvention, Tarrar has moved on from drapes and is now introducing domes and unique glass pieces in his new line. Besides these pieces, gorgeous horse lamps are also making a kill with clients. His signature piano bar, constructed entirely from glass, the inclusion of leather benches at dinner tables, geometric square chairs and traditional imposing chests are definitely making in-roads this year.

Orland P. Bassett House

Orland P. Bassett House, also known as the "American Beauty" House, is a historic Colonial Revival residence in Hinsdale, Illinois. The house, and the accompanying carriage house, were constructed in 1899. Bassett began his career as a printer, moving to Chicago manage the Pictorial Printing Company in 1874. He moved to Hinsdale with his wife in 1887 and began cultivating roses as a hobby. In 1888, he created a hybrid rose known as the American Beauty rose in his greenhouse. He co-founded Bassett & Washburn, which became the first florist to distribute the rose. Commercial horticulture was a relatively new field as Americans had only gained significant disposable income late in the 19th century. One of their largest clients was the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, who purchased the roses for use in their dining cars. The company was the largest employer in Hinsdale in 1900.
Bassett purchased a plot of land on the corner of Oak and Sixth Street in late 1898 and commissioned contractor Ole Anderson to build it for $25,000. The original architect is unknown--although the plans to the building are intact, there is no indication of who drew them. Enock Hill Turnock remodeled Bassett's former house, "Bonnie Heights", and may have continued a working relationship with Bassett. Given Bassett's occupation, the house was nicknamed the "American Beauty" House by local residents. The house was completed in December 1899. The third floor of the house features a ballroom where the Bassetts held dancing parties. The house was principally built in the Colonial Revival style, but also features elements of Queen Anne Style. Bassett retired in 1907, passing the business to his son-in-law, and moved to Pasadena, California in 1910. Bassett's grandson Egdar Washburn lived in the residence until 1913, when it was sold to Quaker Oats treasurer Robert Gordon. The house was renovated in 1942.
