The definitive book on New York Deco, from the smallest of details to the grandest of buildings.

New York City, arguably the world’s Art Deco capital, is well known for its striking and still iconic towers that were early expressions of the style writ large—most famously the Empire State and Chrysler buildings, both of which still speak so eloquently of the future and the machine age that continues to move us all forward. Art Deco is drawn in steel, in tile, in brass, in bronze, and in stone upon great buildings and small—and in the details, as so engagingly shown here. The reader is brought, for example, into the extraordinary Fred F. French Building at 551 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, a treasure house of the form whose ornate lobby is a wonder of sparkling seduction in all directions: racing above is a fan palm and fleur de lis–decorated architrave, and golden Assyrian equestrian archers on a field of onyx take aim while stunning chandeliers set with crystal feathers and bronze shoot out their own thin arrows of illumination. Beyond the famous, we are invited to consider little-seen stunners beside the Grand Concourse in the Bronx or upon the face of an apartment house in Brooklyn Heights. Featuring both the legendary and the little known, on display here, through all-new photography, is Art Deco New York as never seen before.

A striking visual homage of New York by leading interiors photographer Simon Upton

Foreword by Rupert Thomas

In his first book, renowned interiors photographer Simon Upton turns his camera on one of his most-loved destinations in this personal exploration of fashionable homes in New York City. Urbane and characterful, New York Interiors unveils the photographer’s favorite interior projects from the city, among them the homes of Aerin Lauder, Hamish Bowles, Stephen Sills, Michael S. Smith, Steven Gambrel, and Cynthia Frank, intertwined with atmospheric images of the metropolis and its most stylish residents.

Presented in two halves — City and Getaway — the book showcases city living from uptown to downtown, as well as the chic retreats of the Hamptons and other exclusive weekend destinations where New Yorkers head to relax.

About the Authors:

Sought after by the major design organizations, he travels the world photographing people and their homes. His work appears regularly in The World of Interiors, Elle Decor, Vogue, AD, and House & Garden.

Rupert Thomas is editor–in–chief of The World of Interiors.

Residences featured here show New York living of the moment: homes that defy traditional definition but which are nevertheless rooted in the historic ground of the city.

What does a home look like in twenty-first-century New York? While the city’s name alone brings to mind very specific ideas — the Fifth Avenue penthouse, with its elegant moldings and crystal chandeliers; the SoHo loft, with its bright spaces and air of bohemian ease; the Brooklyn brownstone, with its fireplaces, parquet floors, and lush backyards—the truth is, New York today is much more than this, and the potential for variety in ways of living is, now more than ever, virtually limitless. As a result, in the twenty-first century, the combined design professions enjoy an unprecedented menu of prospective solutions, whether based upon respect for a classically inflected New York past, an emphatic denial of such a tradition, or, most often, some hybrid response that often yields the best innovation possible.

New York Living celebrates this vast potential while exploring contemporary apartments and town houses throughout the city, ranging beyond Manhattan into the outer boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx, and back to the center, Manhattan, which continues to climb ever higher in its reach toward the sky.

About the Authors:

Paul Gunther is the executive director of the Gracie Mansion Conservancy, former president of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, and former vice president of institutional advancement and director of development at the New-York Historical Society. Gay Giordano is a writer based in New York.

Design authority Wendy Moonan takes the reader on a tour of some of New York City's finest residential rooms -- past and present.

Groundbreaking rooms include Brooke Astor's elegant library by Albert Hadley; Gloria Vanderbilt's sublime patchwork bedroom; Donald Judd's dramatically spare art-filled loft; Adolfo's opulent and magnificently red entrance hall; a Peter Marino-designed penthouse with sweeping midtown views; and Jamie Drake's stunning dining room for the mayor's residence, Gracie Mansion.

An award-winning, popular lifestyle blogger shares her simple approach to creating country house style no matter where you live

In Nora Murphy’s Country House Style, you will discover how to make your home a country house, a place where everyone is always welcome, where comfort is always in style, where there’s always room for our favorite things, where there’s always a reason to celebrate, and where home extends well beyond our walls.

Nora Murphy has turned her passion for country house style and its embodiment—her own home in Newtown, Connecticut — into a multimedia juggernaut. Her blog, website, e-magazine, strong presence on social media, and increasing visibility in print media and on TV have earned her a devoted following all over the country. Now she has distilled the essence of her knowledge about country house style and how to achieve it in this irresistible volume.

The first part of the book lays out the universal elements of the style; the second reveals how she has incorporated these elements into her own home; and the third shows how the elements of this comfortable, comforting, easy aesthetic and approach to life can be applied in different ways and in different locations to striking, individual effect. Five homes, each of which expresses a unique take on the style, are featured.

Part primer, part wish book, Nora Murphy’s Country House Style is all inspiration.

About the Author:

In almost no other region of Europe is the connection to nature so pronounced as in the Nordic countries – beginning with the extreme differences between the long, dark winter nights and the long days of summer. At the same time, the dovetailing of state of the art technology with the contemporary realization of tradition is a matter of course in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland.

Thanks to the creativity and relish for experiment of the architecture and design scene, a many facetted Scandinavian design consciousness has emerged; the many trends that were initiated have created enthusiasm around the world. The projects presented in this volume show the unique and surprising design concepts for residential space, restaurants, stores and offices.

From the contents:

- Kvadrat Showroom in Copenhagen, Denmark (Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec)
- Hof Country Residence in Skagafjördur fjord, Iceland (Studio Granda)
- Bar Grotesk in Helsinki, Finland (Järvi & Ruoho)
- The Energy Hotel in Nesflaten, Suldal, Norway (Helen & Hard architects)
- Moderna Museet Malmö in Sweden (Tham & Videgård Arkitekter)

The European north is the epitome of the intense connection between nature and design: rugged wilderness and short winter days require comfortable interiors with warm colours, while lovely landscape scenarios and long midsummer nights are juxtaposed to functional-minimalist and timeless design.

Nordic Style presents the impressive wealth of Scandinavian interiors, locally inspired and internationally successful. Whether in the unspoiled nature or in the midst of urban life, the designers rely on the tradition of using sustainable materials and natural shapes together with the latest building technologies to create a successful mix of simple yet expressive design concepts that make the Nordic style so popular, unique and always ahead of time.

A personal celebration of the hunt for — and joy of living with — favorite collections and things

What is it in our homes that we truly value and why? What would you take when you leave in fear of fire?  

Our home is an expression of ourselves in many ways, largely through the objects we accumulate. For Maria Hummer-Tuttle, the objects she has collected over the years, from the priceless to the flea-market finds, are precious not only for their beauty, uniqueness, and craftsmanship but also for their connection to the past and the future, for their resonance with one another.

In this exquisitely illustrated book, she serves as our guide through three dwellings, focusing our attention on objects ranging from an ancient Chinese horse sculpture to a Louis XV clock painted with characters from an Aesop fable, from a small snail sculpture found in a venerable hardware store to a monumental safety-pin sculpture by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, and from 18th-century to 20th-century furniture.  

With a foreword by master ceramicist and acclaimed author Edmund de Waal and featuring two lavish gatefolds, Objects of Desire is a feast for the eyes and an object to be cherished in its own right.

The ultimate escapist collection of self-sufficient cabins and retreats in the world’s most stunning and inaccessible locations

Recent advances in technologies and home-generated renewable energy have made building away from urban and rural infrastructures more practical, affordable and desirable than ever. This survey of the world’s most innovative off-grid homes reveals the stunning spaces and constructions that enable us to escape to some of the most extraordinary natural environments on the planet.

All of the houses featured in Off the Grid are fully, or almost fully, self-sufficient in terms of energy, water and, in some cases, food. Architecture and interior design expert Dominic Bradbury reveals how each house makes everyday living in these wild and natural settings a rewarding and tempting reality. From snowbound cabins in the far Northern Hemisphere to coastal retreats that can only be accessed by boat, the diverse projects collected here show the ingenious ways in which architects and their clients are tackling extreme climates, remoteness and construction challenges for new lifestyles that are both liberating and sustainable.

The imperative to reduce our carbon footprints and refocus on renewable sources of energy has a profound impact on our domestic lives. Off the Grid proves that creative architecture, design and technology are redefining living a truly responsible and fulfilling lifestyle.

About the Author:

Dominic Bradbury is a writer and freelance journalist specializing in architecture and design. He has written over 20 books, including Mid-Century Modern Complete, The Iconic House, and The Iconic Interior. He contributes to magazines and newspapers in the UK, US, Australia, and internationally, including The Financial Times, The Times, Telegraph, House & Garden, World of Interiors, Wallpaper, and Vogue Living.

The book is a compendium of homes, including apartments and single-family houses, that have been remodeled to suit contemporary lifestyle needs.

Rehabilitations of living spaces are often done to reanimate existing constructions that, over time, have become impractical, if not obsolete. The challenge is to adapt these existing buildings to contemporary standards while maintaining what might still be useful or what we like about them. Most old buildings are very compartmentalized, reflecting the human habits of their time and the available building technology.

Nowadays, we like to live in much more open and airy spaces — and new building methods allow for the removal of walls that ultimately free up space. We renovate and upgrade living spaces to various degrees, ranging anywhere from upgrading fixtures and appliances to removing and reconstructing walls and expanding buildings. While extensive work is sometimes required, these rehabilitations can result in stunning transformations. Many add comfort and increase utility, not to mention that the investment generally adds value to the property.

This inspirational book showcases a range of rehabilitated projects, from ones that begin by totally stripping out interiors to a clean slate, to less extensive work that might be limited to cosmetic changes or simple finish and fixture upgrades.

Existing dwellings have proved themselves flexible to changing necessities, and they are key to the regeneration of our living environment.
