"An inventive fashion stylist who turned to interior design two decades ago, Muriel Brandolini creates daredevil interiors with a romantic artisanal edge. \"I see my rooms as an escape, a fantasy, a dream,\" says the designer, who is based in New York City. \"It is all about freedom of mind.\" As her new book, The World of Muriel Brandolini (Rizzoli, 2011), amply illustrates, the designer's clients have learned to expect the unexpected. Contemporary furniture mingles with provocative antiques and midcentury classics, and walls are clad in handwrought beading or silken embroidery. As for the slick lacquerlike finishes that have become Brandolini's hallmark, their seductive saturated colors can be traced to the landscape and culture of Vietnam, where she spent much of her childhood. murielbrandolini.com\n\nMeet the other architects and designers on the 2012 AD100 list."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
