Since 1994, Barclay Butera has been the creative force behind his eponymous design firm and showroom in Newport Beach, California. His success in Newport prompted Butera to establish showrooms in Hollywood, California, and Park City, Utah. His inspirations are drawn from a diverse variety of grand architecture from coast to coast, along with European and Far Eastern influences including everything from high-fashion runways to his far-flung world travels. However, he readily credits Old Hollywood and West Palm Beach as among his greatest muses.
