Dorothy Draper
American, 1889 - 1969
Dorothy Draper (1889-1969) was an American interior designer who was known for her bold and colorful designs that often incorporated a mix of traditional and modern elements. She was born in Tuxedo Park, New York, and began her career as an advertising copywriter before transitioning to interior design in the 1920s.
Draper's designs were characterized by their use of bright colors, graphic patterns, and dramatic scale. She often incorporated large-scale murals, bold wallpaper patterns, and colorful fabrics into her interiors, which were intended to create a sense of drama and energy.
Draper worked on a wide range of projects throughout her career, including hotels, restaurants, office buildings, and private homes. She was particularly known for her work on the Carlyle Hotel in New York City, which she redesigned in the 1950s, and which remains one of her most famous projects.
Draper was a pioneer in the field of interior design and helped to establish it as a profession in its own right. She was also a prolific author and wrote several books on interior design and decorating. Today, her designs are still highly influential and are celebrated for their boldness and creativity.
