Midcentury Modern Bel Air Estate for Vidal & Ronnie Sassoon

This reimagining of Richard Neutra’s Singleton House honors the timeless artistry of Vidal and Ronnie Sassoon.

“Vidal Sassoon was a man of great style - a true tastemaker on every level and one of my dearest mentors in life. I had the privilege of working with Vidal and his wife, Ronnie, on several projects over the years, learning from their impeccable taste and extraordinary collections.”

Vidal embodied old-school charm and sophistication, ever the gentleman, with a creative spirit that continues to inspire me. Known globally as the first true hairdressing superstar, with salons, products, and schools around the world. Vidal, to me, will always be the kindest teacher and a gentleman of the highest order.
