ROBERT ADAM
Never a cabinet-maker, Adam's influence on decorations and furnishings was, however, profound. By the time Chippendale's third edition of The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director' was published, Adam was collaborating with Chippendale and was responsible for the introduction of the Neo-Classical style which ended the taste for rococo, Chinese and Gothic design. Adam believed that the minutiae of furnishing and decoration were the responsibility of the architect and, only in this way, could a harmonious result be achieved.
