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.

Great quality, and very bright.
Color: 4inch Spot Light, Color: 4inch Spot Light
I installed 4 of these pod lights in the front bumper of my 2009 f150 (2 spot beam, and 2 combo beam), and I am very pleased with the overall build quality, and brightness of these pod lights. Installing them is fairly straight forward once you have them mounted where you want them, and they look great! I highly recommend these lights if you are looking to upgrade the lighting on your vehicle! The video I have attached is with the amber lens, and the picture with the lights on is without the lens. I prefer to keep the lenses on most of the time since it does add a layer of protection from the sun, and bugs/rocks while driving. I also do prefer the amber color for driving at night compared to the white.

Auxbeam FTW
Color: 4inch Flood Light, Color: 4inch Flood Light
Quality product at an affordable price. The pods have a good weight to them and the bracket feels sturdy. I don't recommend them if you're looking for a true yellow light, those covers suck . The drl and turn signal feature is really nice 👌🏼. Only bad thing i can say is that the hardware is starting to rust but thats an easy fix .

cheaper solution but not cheaper in build and functional quality
Color: 4.5inch Spot Light
Im normally a Rigid guy but these Auxbeam LED Pods are brighter than my Rigid. They from my opinion are at the same build quality as the main name brands but at 1/2 the cost..
