O'Brien, founder of the design firm Aero Studios and creator of Thomas O'Brien Vintage Modern home products for Target, describes his design aesthetic as finding "the classic elements from past generations and then edit[ing] them together for...traditional things for modern living." Here, he visits six residences, including his own Manhattan apartment and Rhode Island home, and delineates his process of incorporating the owner's taste and lifestyle with his design sense. Recommended for readers looking for contemporary, sophisticated styles.
