Bocconi University in Milan is Italy’s most important university for economic education and one of the most prestigious universities in the world.

Founded in 1902 by entrepreneur and senator Ferdinando Bocconi, the university is the most important and renowned private university in Italy. Established in order to provide a high level of economic education for the new Italian ruling class, in the course of its history Bocconi has trained prime ministers, great entrepreneurs, and even celebrities from the digital world.

This book shows the university’s structures through expansive photography taken specifically for it by photographer Massimo Siragusa. The Bocconi buildings represent a fascinating compendium of modern and contemporary architecture, having been designed by some of the most important Italian architects of the twentieth century, such as Giuseppe Pagano, Giovanni Muzio, and Ignazio Gardella, as well as recent international archistars such as Shelley McNamara and the Japanese SANAA studio.

A celebration of the unique decorative style of New Orleans, featuring the resplendent rooms of seventeen decadent residences rich with patina, family heirlooms, and history.

New Orleans is one of the most distinctive cities in the world, but like most American cities, rapidly developing. Designer and writer Valorie Hart and photographer Sara Essex Bradley have sought out spectacular residences that represent the best of old bohemian New Orleans — domiciles that serve both as inspiration and as an imaginative balm to all that is unappealingly conventional and cookie-cutter in design today. Ranging from a Garden District cottage to a Civil War–era Creole mansion, all the homes feature elements of elegance and eccentricity, old French furniture and vintage finds, colors only produced by local light. The free spirits who own these homes have a lust for all the arts, from music to dance, painting, and fine cuisine. They include an artist in a crumbling garret, an eccentric dreamer, a voodoo queen, moneyed wayfarers, world travelers, a resourceful magpie, bon vivants, gypsies, and old souls — all united in their love of the chipped and tattered, romantic and resplendent.

This book is a valentine to a New Orleans that is disappearing, a last call to remember, appreciate, and repeat and revive its great bohemian soul.

About the Authors:

The author of House Proud, designer Valorie Hart wrote the popular design blog The Visual Vamp.

Sara Essex Bradley has been photographing interiors and architecture for twenty-five years. She was the photographer for House Proud and the author and photographer of Dog Decor.

The newly launched interior design series "Wohninspiration by teNeues" will be supplemented by two new titles this autumn. Like their predecessors, they are designed to inspire home makeovers with the help of large-format images, a practical index for finding brands and manufacturers, and furnishing recommendations from real interior experts. Thanks to their colourful design and high-quality features in the usual teNeues quality, they become decorative eye-catchers in their own right.

Bohemian chic is considered the epitome of an unconventional and free-spirited lifestyle: a colourful, playful mix-and-match look meets reduced earth tones, not infrequently combined with unique flea market finds or exotic travel souvenirs. Far removed from any staging, Boho Style exudes real character - and thus casts a spell over interior enthusiasts all over the world. The new coffee table book Boho Style is now dedicated to the cosy statement look and is aimed at all those who want to bring their inner hippie to life.

About the Author:

Claire Bingham is an interior design journalist and author who has been discovering, writing about and photographing fantastic homes for almost twenty years. Previously, she was home decor editor at Elle Decoration. She writes about interiors, travel, perfume and food for publications around the world, including The Observer and Telegraph magazines, Architectural Digest and House & Garden. She is also the author of numerous books. More is More was her eleventh book, with teNeues Publishing. It followed A Scented World, which was published in 2019. The inspirational books Patterns and Modern Glam were published in autumn 2022, followed by Colors and Scandi Style in spring 2023.

The first book from Drake/Anderson illustrates the award-winning firm’s opulent modernist design with interiors that are as unique and expressive as they are inviting and livable.

Principals Jamie Drake and Caleb Anderson delight in creating imaginative rooms that emphasize the precious alongside the everyday. Drake is known for his fearless use of color as well as his fashion-conscious sensibility. Anderson is lauded for his layered approach and the confidence with which he juxtaposes a variety of historic periods. While firmly focused on contemporary design, their work harkens back to the legendary designers and decorators of yesterday.

Drake/Anderson’s deeply informed yet accessible modernist sensibility is exemplified by eleven remarkable residences, from Manhattan to London to Arizona, in a full spectrum of rich jewel tones and textures. In an aerie with panoramic views, the pair devised a platinum-and-pearl backdrop for a provocative potpourri of materials—wood, lacquer, stone, gypsum, glass, velvet, leather, mirror, and bronze. Whether refashioning a private oasis in the woods, where contemporary pieces mix with custom items of the firm’s design, or bringing a stately 1910 house fully into the present by amalgamating the owners’ antiques with modern and contemporary art, Drake/Anderson embraces a dynamic eclecticism all its own.

About the Authors:

Drake/Anderson is a New York-based interior design team. Together, Jamie Drake and Caleb Anderson have achieved the highest awards and accolades in the industry, among them the prestigious Elle Decor A-List, the Architectural Digest AD100, Interior Design’s Hall of Fame, and House Beautiful’s “Master Class” and “Next Wave.”

In her latest book, 'Botanical Style', stylist Selina Lake shows how to tap into the current trend for bringing nature, plants, and florals into the heart of the home.

The first chapter, Botanical Inspirations, takes a look at the ingredients of the look — antique botanical prints and artworks, flower stalls, potting sheds, and houseplants — and draws upon these sources for fresh ideas to transform your home into a leafy haven.

Moving on, Selina explores five different facets of the botanical look. Vintage Botanicals celebrates the gentle palette and delicate style of floral watercolors and pressed flowers, while Boho Botanicals has more of a free-spirited 1970s vibe, with jungly potted plants, flower garlands, and even a decorated teepee. The varied textures and contemporary appeal of Industrial Botanicals give it a modern edge, utilizing materials such as polished concrete, rusted metal, and laboratory glass and combining them with peeling paint and vintage science posters on the walls. Next, Natural Botanicals is based around antique botanical prints and museum specimen cases for a nostalgic feel while Tropical Botanicals features bold leafy prints, spiny cacti, and palm trees for a distinctly glamorous retro flavor.

Throughout the book, Selina‘s imaginative ‘DIY Makes’ and insightful ‘Style Tips’ provide a wealth of inspiring suggestions for how to recreate the textures, tones, and ambience of Botanical Style in your own home.

The much-awaited reissue and reexpression of the classic New York row-house book Bricks and Brownstone, with all-new and updated text, new colour photography, and luxury slipcase.

The classic book Bricks & Brownstone, the first and still the only volume to examine in depth the changing form and varied architectural styles of the much-loved New York City row house, or brownstone, was first published in 1972. That edition helped pave the way for a brownstone revival that has transformed New York's historic neighbourhoods over the past half-century. Rizzoli published a revised and expanded edition of the book in 2003, to much fanfare. This edition revisits the classic comprehensively, with an updated text and additional chapters, and an abundance of specially commissioned colour photography. It offers to an eager audience the long-awaited re-issue of the landmark volume in a brilliant new form.

Boasting more than 250 colour and black-and-white images, this definitive volume traces New York's row houses from colonial days through World War I, examining in detail the Federal, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Italianate, and Second Empire architectural styles of the early and mid-nineteenth century, as well as the Neo-Grec, Queen Anne, Romanesque, Renaissance Revival, and Colonial Revival styles of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The new Bricks & Brownstone remains the gold standard reference on brownstone architecture and interiors, and one of the few truly classic histories of New York's urbanism and real estate development.

Green-Wood is a living cemetery that brings people closer to the world by memorializing the dead even as it embraces the art, history, and natural beauty of New York. Founded in 1838 and now a National Historic Landmark, Green-Wood was one of the first rural cemeteries in America. By the early 1860s, it had earned an international reputation for its beauty, attracting 500,000 visitors a year, second only to Niagara Falls as the nation’s greatest tourist attraction. Crowds flocked here to enjoy family outings in the finest of first-generation American landscapes. Green-Wood’s popularity helped inspire the creation of public parks, including New York City’s Central and Prospect parks. Green-Wood is 478 spectacular acres of hills, valleys, glacial ponds, and paths, throughout which exists one of the largest outdoor collections of nineteenth- and twentieth-century statuary and mausoleums. Four seasons of beauty offer a peaceful oasis to visitors, as well as its 570,000 permanent residents, including Leonard Bernstein, Boss Tweed, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Louis Comfort Tiffany.

At once a celebration and an invitation, the book ranges from a consideration of the natural landscape in which it is set to a close look at its architecture, statuary, symbols, typography, birds and fauna, trees, and typography.

Bruno Taut (1880–1938) is generally considered to be the leading housing estate architect of the modern era. Utilizing the latest architectural techniques and concentrating on the needs of the people who were to inhabit his creations, he made a lasting impression on the housing construction of his time not only because of the impressive quantities of 10,000 flats.

This updated and revised publication is homage to one of the most significant personalities of the 20th century. It presents the extensive catalogue of Bruno Taut’s works, among them the famous Berlin housing estates such as the "Hufeisensiedlung" ("Horseshoe Development"), the garden city Falkenberg "Tuschkastensiedlung" (dubbed the "Inx Box Colony") and the forested housing estate "Onkel Toms Hütte" ("Uncle Tom’s Cabin").

Each project is portrayed by means of texts, plans as well as historic and contemporary photos. Proven experts lead through the creative work and life of Bruno Taut showing in several introductory essays that he was not only city planner, designer and social reformer but also above all artist – and therefore truly deserved to be honored as "Master of Colorful Architecture".

Featuring striking photography by an expert in the field, this exploration of Japanese Brutalist architecture celebrates the surprising beauty and grace of buildings forged in concrete.

Emerging in the devastating aftermath of World War II, Brutalist architecture in Japan is characterized by its geometric shapes, functionality, and unconventional use of concrete ― which is often left unfinished to showcase the material’s inherent textures and imperfections. Japanese Brutalism represented a radical departure from traditional Japanese architecture, drawing inspiration from the global Brutalist movement but incorporating unique elements that reflect Japan’s culture and history.

A leading expert on Japanese Brutalism, Paul Tulett has traveled throughout the country to photograph extraordinary examples of this aesthetic. In over 200 dynamic and impeccable photographs he captures the elements and paradoxes inherent in the buildings themselves: the rawness of concrete juxtaposed with elegant design; a harmonious integration into urban landscapes; and a global, modernist approach that maintains traditional Japanese elements.

Highlighting the work of architects such as Kenzo Tange, Tadao Ando, and Arata Isozaki, this unique volume shows how a blend of global influences and Japanese sensibilities has left an indelible mark on the architectural landscape of Japan, making Japanese Brutalism an intensely captivating and enduring style.

About the Author:

New York and London–based interior designer Bryan O’Sullivan creates spaces that mix modern and historical influences, resulting in luxuriously chic interiors that are both glamourous and welcoming. This book, the designer’s first, showcases the groundbreaking work of a remarkable and rising talent.

Old-school Hollywood glamour with a contemporary touch is the hallmark of interior designer Bryan O’Sullivan’s repertoire, on full display in his commissions for the Red Room at the Connaught Hotel, the much-admired Berkeley Bar & Terrace, and the art deco Painter’s Room at Claridges, all some of London’s most fabulous and plush spaces. With expertise in both architecture and interiors, O’Sullivan’s broader vision is reflected as well in selected residential projects, which range from a family house for a prominent restaurateur, a Fifth Avenue apartment in New York, and a historic early 1900s hôtel particulier in Paris’s 16th arrondissement.

O’Sullivan mines history for inspiration, resulting in a look that could be described as pared-back luxe. The key is in the mix, blending classical proportions with contemporary elements, re-covering vintage or antique furniture in modern fabrics, creating warmth and intimacy within generous spaces, and always achieving very chic, stylishly comfortable, livable spaces.

Interior designer and artist Ashley Hicks presents his photographs and description of the interior design of Buckingham Palace, home of Britain's royal family since 1837.

An important representation of Regency, Victorian, and Edwardian styles, the palace is the work of such noted architects as John Nash and Sir Aston Webb. Hicks records the formal spaces with vibrancy, capturing the magnificent rooms furnished with treasures from the Royal Collection.

The long, skylit Picture Gallery is hung with important works of art from the Royal Collection by Rembrandt van Rijn, Peter Paul Rubens, Nicolas Poussin, Anthony van Dyck, Johannes Vermeer, and Canaletto, among others. Decorative furnishings from George IV's exotic Brighton Pavilion lend a fanciful turn to many of the rooms.
