BY TOULOUSE, AFTER A DESIGN BY EMILIO TERRY, MODERN

Emilio Terry is rightfully recognised as one of the principal avant garde designers of the 20th Century. Born in Paris in 1890, he was the son of a wealthy Cuban planter. Terry's architectural oeuvre clearly reflects his eclecticism, varying from the 1922 Bath House at Lutry - a homage to Palladio - to the 'Style Louis XVII' employed for M. Stavros Niarchos's hotel de Chanaleilles.
