Jewel-Box Rooms and Baubles to Match

One of interior design’s most influential (and eccentric) figures, Ms. Brandolini burst out in a riot of color, material and motif more than 15 years ago. As laid out in “The World of Muriel Brandolini,” a lavish tome out from Rizzoli next month, her style may look au courant now, but in the midst of the safe, classic 1990s, it was like a bucketful of red paint tossed on a tasteful table setting.

“I was the only one using color!” she recalled last week in the Upper East Side town house she shares with her husband, Nuno Brandolini d’Adda, an Italian aristocrat and investment banker. It never occurred to her, she said, that color might be something to avoid. She had grown up in Vietnam and on Martinique, where vivid color was as natural a choice as Benjamin Moore Decorators White is here.

And color isn’t even the half of it. Scarcely are you in the front door when you find that the walls of the small entryway are, in fact, covered in tiny glass beads.
