"Emily Summers is a champion of modern design, past and present. With a Dallas firm known for interiors that are crisp and edited, yet equally comfortable, she has become one of Texas s most prominent designers." New York Times
"Twenty years ago, when her daughter, Caroline, a real estate agent, saw a listing for a low-slung 1962 house designed by the architect Robert Johnson Perry in the affluent Dallas suburb of Highland Park, Ms. Summers and her husband, Steve Summers, who worked in finance before retiring, decided they should have a look...Now finally ready for a close-up, the house has a starring role in Ms. Summers s new book, Distinctly Modern Interiors, published by Rizzoli this month. (Two other 1960s modernist houses that the couple bought and restored one near Palm Springs, Calif., the other in Colorado Springs are also featured.)"
New York Times
"Modern is a style, but not a formula. The much-celebrated interior designer, Emily Summers, sets out in her new book to show that modernism and minimalism are highly flexible aesthetics, styles where your personal preferences can and should prevail. This is big news in design. She includes notable examples of her own work, citing, for instance, a 1940s ranch house to her classic 1960s Palm Springs home. The very definition of modernism has changed." MILIEU MAGAZINE
