Mario Buatta (October 20, 1935 – October 15, 2018) was an American interior decorator.

Early life and education
Born in West Brighton, Staten Island, New York, he was the son of Felice Buatta, who worked as a violinist and bandleader under the name Phil Burton. He was educated at Curtis High School, studied architecture at Wagner College and Cooper Union, then worked in department stores and took classes in design at Pratt Institute, Columbia University, and in summer 1961 at the Parsons School of Design in Europe. He later received guidance from English designer John Fowler, who greatly influenced him.

Career
Buatta worked for Elisabeth C. Draper and then for Keith Irvine, and started his own business in 1963. He designed interiors for clients including Mariah Carey, Henry Ford II, Malcolm Forbes, Barbara Walters, Nelson Doubleday, Samuel Irving Newhouse, Sr., Charlotte Ford, and Billy Joel. In 1988 with Mark Hampton he oversaw the interior redecoration of Blair House in Washington, D.C. His most extensive work was Carolands, a 92-room chateau located in Hillsborough, California. In addition to his work for clients, he licensed a wide range of products, including a telephone.

Known as the "Prince of Chintz" for his use of lush floral prints and also as the "King of Clutter", Buatta was greatly influenced by English interior design, especially the Regency period, and known for rooms that evoked the English country house.

Buatta was unusual in the interior design profession in working almost alone, and described himself as "married to [his] business". He was a mainstay of the Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse and from 1977 to 1991 chaired The Winter Show, greatly increasing its prominence as an antiques and design venue.

Personal life and death
Buatta lived in a townhouse in Manhattan, and also owned the 1845 William H. Mason house in Thompson Hill, Connecticut. The house, listed as part of a historic district by the National Register of Historic Places, fell into disrepair, leading to protests of "demolition by neglect".

He died in New York City on October 15, 2018, at the age of 82.

Perfect Fit for Full Cooling System Overhaul on BMW 330xi
I ordered this Engine Coolant Hose (part #11537545890) for my 2006 BMW 330xi as part of a comprehensive cooling system overhaul. Along with this hose, I had my mechanic replace the thermostat, water pump, radiator, expansion tank, and all other related hoses. This hose fit exactly as expected—no issues during installation. It’s been three weeks since the job was completed, and everything is performing flawlessly. No leaks, no warning lights, and the engine temperature remains stable under all driving conditions. Although this is not a genuine OEM part, the quality appears solid and it matched up perfectly with the original in terms of length, shape, and connector alignment. For anyone looking to refresh their aging BMW’s cooling system, this hose is a reliable and cost-effective option. Just be sure to verify the part number for compatibility before purchasing. Highly recommended if you’re doing preventive maintenance or replacing a failed hose as part of a larger cooling system repair.
