Lincoln Sitting Room, John F. Kennedy Administration

This photograph of the redecorated and refurbished Lincoln Sitting Room was taken by Robert L. Knudsen on August 28, 1963, during the John F. Kennedy administration. Along the east wall is the mahogany daybed upholstered in a French paisley-patterned cotton as designed by French interior designer Stéphane Boudin. The walls were covered in olive green and yellow fabric brought from France by the head of the design firm Maison Jansen New York office, Paul Manno.
