'Architectural Digest' Oscars Greenroom
Interior designer Madeline Stuart created the signature Architectural Digest greenroom at the Academy Awards. (It's the 11th consecutive year the mag has produced the backstage lounge for presenters and honorees.) Art director and production designer Cedric Gibbons, who is credited with designing the Oscar statuette, was the inspiration behind the room. Stuart's design evoked Gibbons's luxe and tailored modern style.
"When Myrna Loy and William Powell drink martinis in The Thin Man, they do so against the elegant backdrops Cedric Gibbons created. His work defines Hollywood glamour," Stuart said in a statement. "My design for the Architectural Digest green room pays homage to his four decades of film designs. My goal was to design a space where contemporary stars wouldn't be surprised to bump into Cary Grant or Katharine Hepburn."
