With its pastel green and yellow interior; its dazzling collection of Impressionist paintings; and long; low sofas that look like vintage Cadillac convertibles; Sunnylands was a Versailles for the Space Age. In Palm Springs; the mecca of midcentury modern architecture; this immaculately preserved estate is considered the undisputed masterpiece; envisioned by A. Quincy Jones; one of California’s most important architects; and furnished by California’s great decorator-to-the-stars; William Haines. Built by media moguls; art collectors; and diplomats Walter and Leonore Annenberg; Sunnylands became a seat of power where politicians; movie stars; and corporate leaders could meet; relax; reflect; make deals; and run the world—all with nobody watching. For four decades; an invitation to New Year’s Eve at Sunnylands was the ultimate social prize. Exquisitely illustrated; Sunnylands is a must-have for every fan of midcentury design.
