Profile
Albert Hadley joined Parish-Hadley in 1962 and served as the firm's design lead until 1994. Where Sister Parish layered, Hadley pared down — a single perfect Mark Rothko, a Louis XVI chair, a pencil-stripe wall. He decorated for Brooke Astor, Babe Paley, and Vice President Rockefeller.
Visual language
Library red, lacquered walls, geometric stripe wallpaper, restraint.
