Haines’ signature style incorporated custom-made modern furnishings and period antiques with touches of Chinoiserie and exotic artifacts in a glamorous mix that would retrospectively become known as Hollywood Regency style. The centerpieces of Haines’ interiors were his custom designs including tufted sofas, iconic chairs –the Seniah, the Elbow, the Pull Up and the Hostess. Haines hired talented local artists, craftsmen and workshops to produce his one of a kind custom pieces specially crafted per client. #loveagoodpresentation #windowdressings #designicon #americanasethetic #hollywoodregency l
