At Doyle New York on March 5, a book signing reception celebrated the publication of the new book by Charlotte Moss, A Visual Life: Scrapbooks, Collages, and Inspirations, which was published by Rizzoli in the fall of 2012. The event was arranged to take place within the exhibition of The Charlotte Moss Collection, for Doyle New York was to auction the furniture, decorations and art from the collection two days hence, on March 7.
"I have been collecting and decorating for a long time and the time has come to edit, do some redecorating, and make room for new purchases of my own," commented Charlotte Moss about the upcoming sale.
Charlotte has designed private residences and executive suites all over the United States and the Caribbean since 1985, when she opened her business. Besides designing interiors, Charlotte's career has included retail stores, blending the style of American, European and Classical influences.
Charlotte lectures widely on all the arts of living, and has written eight books to date. In addition to writing books, she frequently contributes to The Wall Street Journal. Charlotte’s blog, Tête-A-Tête, appears on her website, along with a photographic blog called C'est Inspiré.
Having started out on Wall Street, Charlotte has a keen sense for changes in trends. Widening her reach in recent years, Charlotte Moss, LLC now brings her signature Flair for Living to consumers worldwide with collections available under license. She has designed fabric and trim for Fabricut, carpeting, sisals and soon-to-be scenic mural wallpapers for Stark Carpet, china for Pickard, and fabrics and wall coverings for Brunschwig & Fils. Most recently, Charlotte has used her experience culled from twenty-five years of decorating couture homes to design a collection of furniture and upholstery with Century Furniture. Charlotte’s collection of framed decorative art for Soicher-Marin which launched at the High Point Market in the Fall of 2012 is based in-part on her own photography.
