Exploring forgotten regions of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, Susana Ordovás and photographer Guido Taroni uncover the faded splendor of both neglected and restored homes

Susana Ordovás’s Inside Yucatán is an ode to the merging of the ancient with the contemporary. At the turn of the 20th century, more millionaires lived in Mérida than in any other city in the world, building and transforming breathtaking, lavish homes nestled into the surrounding tropical greenery like hidden jewels. Over time, nature conquered, leaving crumbling structures in place of what were once vibrant, ornately decorated estates. But today, Ordovás reveals, Yucatán’s “forsaken, decaying ruins, remnants of an illustrious past . . . are awakening from a centuries–old siesta.”

Here, in Guido Taroni’s evocative new photographs of 27 residences across the peninsula, in such places as Izamal, Mérida, and Valladolid, decadence and beauty shine through what remains of the homes’ diverse, contrasting styles, from colonial to Renaissance, Medieval to Moorish, and occasionally a combination of all. Setting the houses in context, three specially commissioned maps of the region have been beautifully illustrated by renowned artist Jesús Cisneros. In her detailed commentary, Ordovás celebrates their eccentric, distressed charm and hails the revival of this magical land.

A one-volume guide to the world’s most iconic and important interiors, from William Morris’s home in London to the retail and leisure spaces of the contemporary globalized world.

From the 19th-century Arts and Crafts movement to the present day, and from Art Nouveau and Bauhaus to hi-tech and green design, every style of interior design since 1900 is charted in this wide-ranging survey.

Design in the 20th century saw an extraordinary evolution, with the emergence of professional interior designers and the growing appetite to redesign homes at frequent intervals. In recent decades the focus has been on sustainable design in public spaces such as offices, factories and ships. Anne Massey explores these developments in social, political, economic and cultural contexts. More than 200 illustrations of interiors from
around the world, from William Morris’s drawing room to a 21st-century aircraft, reveal the fundamental changes in taste and style from Art Deco to Pop and from the Streamline Moderne to Post-Modernism.

This volume has been a classic introduction to the subject for almost thirty years. The new, fourth edition is brought up to date with a chapter on transnational design, encompassing mid-century modernist work in Singapore and Sri Lanka as well as very recent interiors for spaces as varied as luxury hotels in Dubai and a contemporary art museum in Cape Town. Anne Massey shows how a shared language of design and cutting-edge technology are reshaping interiors around the globe.

Interiors '70 presents forty notable Italian interiors photographed between 1965 and 1975 by Carla De Benedetti, a true pioneer and master of architectural photography. Far more than a simple collection of images by an important photographer, Interiors '70 gives a glimpse of a cultural sphere that evolved during the late sixties and early seventies. This was a moment of extraordinary artistic and creative vigour, and a period when the social status of an emerging affluent class was displayed within the walls of private homes. The desire to live in more customised and personalised spaces led to a movement in the field of interior design that focused on research, innovation and creating an impact. Many of the protagonists of interior design (including Franco Albini, Gae Aulenti, Cini Boeri, Joe Colombo, Italo Lupi, Carla Venosta, and Nanda Vigo) also incorporated practical and functional elements based on a new lifestyle that echoed the revolutionary trends of the time. Carla De Benedetti’s dramatically composed photographs offer a unique commentary on these influential interiors. Her special talent lies in her capacity to identify the most significant elements in an environment and her willingness to experiment with different viewpoints and techniques. The resulting images convey the style of each interior with astuteness and an instinct for the designer’s intentions.

Interiors '70 is also includes an informed introduction by veteran design journalist Giovanni Odoni that sheds light on this important phase of Carla De Benedetti’s career and on this undervalued period in the history of interior design.

Interiors for Living is a book dedicated to show a graphic testimony of the different tendencies and trends of the best worldwide interior design and their most outstanding exponents, succeeding in reinventing different styles for its adaptation to the present ways of life, from Europe to Australia, from United States to Japan or from Latin America to Singapore. Interesting concepts are perceived from apparently insignificant details, carefully chosen materials for and on behalf of the client or even a project of global proportions which speaks for itself.

The surrounding architecture, or better said, the architectural environment into which they are integrated, is perceived in terms of an objective which evidently aspires to present itself as modern and contemporary architecture but which also circumscribes to the fact that the interiors presented here have also been created and designed for living.

Right through this book, we will see how interior architecture, furniture design, material selection, finishes, chosen accessories and warm and humane strokes, combined with simplicity and skill, are intentions that materialize in comfortable spaces that call for enjoyment, revelling in a ageless and appealing lifestyle to match the taste of each client.

Isabel López-Quesada, one of Europe’s major interior designers, leads a tour through the two extraordinary homes she decorated for herself and her family

Innovatively combining period and contemporary furniture and art in a sophisticated mix, the homes of Isabel López-Quesada are inspirational and unforgettable. In At Home, the Spanish designer tells her own story. The perfect gift for admirers of her work, and an ideal introduction for those new to the designer.

López-Quesada is arguably the most significant European woman designer working today. The keyword in interior design today is authenticity: an original voice. And authenticity is the hallmark of López-Quesada’s work. She introduces her family and their traditions, and reveals her sources of inspiration—such as the work of earlier designers like Renzo Mongiardino and John Stefanidis. She relates how she transformed an abandoned wax factory in a leafy district of Madrid into her family home and atelier, and then recounts how she created a country home out of a run-down Basque farm in the hills outside of Biarritz, France.

Both the Madrid and Biarritz properties have been affectionately documented by Miguel Flores-Vianna, who has photographed interiors, patios, and gardens, as well as López-Quesada’s design studios. Lavishly illustrated with over 250 color photographs, At Home provides a window into Isabel López-Quesada’s design philosophy, and her fascination with creating beautiful spaces.

About the Author:

Isabel López-Quesada is a Spanish interior designer who has worked all over the world—throughout Spain and the Mediterranean, the United States, Japan, and the Caribbean. Miguel Flores-Vianna is an editor, writer, and photographer whose work is regularly published in T, Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, Cabana, Milieu, and Vogue, and featured in his book, Haute Bohemians.

The renowned Paris-based architect and interior designer debuts a monograph capturing her signature warm, elegantly modern aesthetic.

Isabelle Stanislas’s interiors nod to historical sources while exuding a refreshing contemporary style. Known for her knack for subtly interweaving art, landscaping, architecture, and materials, she has been regularly called upon by private homeowners and luxury houses such as Cartier and Hermès since founding her firm in 2000. Most recently, the designer was tapped by the French president to breathe new life into the Élysée Palace — skyrocketing her prestige even further.

From architecture and construction to interior design and bespoke furniture, this highly anticipated monograph explores the impressive breadth of Stanislas’s creative approach through twelve diverse properties. Defined by precision, minimalism, and a unique take on French style, the designer’s modus operandi emerges from the pages of this dazzling volume. Specially commissioned photographs take readers on a journey from Paris to London to Portugal. Complete with insightful texts that unpack each project and Stanislas’s artistic universe, this book is a must-have addition to the libraries of design masters and aficionados alike.

The latest projects by the undisputed master of tropical interior design, Amanda Lindroth

Since the publication of Island Hopping in 2018, the demand for Amanda Lindroth’s airy, relaxed, indoor-outdoor aesthetic has soared, and she has completed enough commissions to fill a new volume. Island Dreaming features 20 recent projects, one more enticing than the next. Lindroth brings her signature style of boldly colored fabrics, rattan and cane seating, canopied beds, and straw matting to homes ranging from cozy cottages to grand houses in Lyford Cay, on Nassau; Baker’s Bay, on the island of Great Guana Cay in the Abacos; Manhattan; and Palm Beach, Florida.

Though Lindroth’s style remains unmistakably hers, it’s now perceptibly richer, more sophisticated, and, at times, more whimsical. Illustrated by the lushly detailed photographs of Dylan Chandler, and featuring lovely illustrations by Carlisle Burch, Island Dreaming will be coveted by everyone who can’t get enough of Lindroth’s easy-breezy tropical vibe.

About the Authors:

A celebration of Henry Melich’s wonderfully whimsical and romantic island escapes, which continue to inspire the work of designers today.

Island Follies is the first book to explore the work of Henry Melich (1924–1999), a Czech-born architect who brought a beguiling form of neoclassicism to the Caribbean. While Melich built projects in the United States and England, he’s best remembered for the romantic houses he designed in sunny island retreats like Lyford Cay, Harbour Island, and Windermere Island in the Bahamas.

Melich created a romantic sense of escape with a softly cushioned whimsy and discrete air of tranquility. His signature motifs included faux-marbled walls, seasoned wood, colonnades, and tentlike interiors with striped ceilings. Melich’s interiors suited the playful mood of the moment documented in this book with the warm touch of Slim Aarons, who came to the Bahamas in the 1960s and 1970s to capture high-society figures in their homes. Gardens with bougainvillea-draped pergolas, ivy-clad alcoves, and palm-lined allées are just some of the features that extend the architecture into the tropical landscape and embrace the indoor-outdoor lifestyle of these houses.

Island Follies showcases the best of Melich’s island projects, with new photography of many previously unpublished interiors, capturing a lost world of glamour certain to inspire lovers of interior design and island retreats alike.
