Featuring interiors created by people who shop in Colette in Paris, live on the Lower East Side in New York and travel to Tokyo; the domestic spaces are often DIY and strongly reflect pop culture. Filled with post-modern collectables, vintage junk finds, camouflage and graffiti, clothing and toy collections, contemporary art resting in bookshelves and crammed onto walls, these homes are an antidote to the sterility of minimalism. Looking at these interiors city by city, among the 30 homes featured in the book are those of the artist and designer Julie Verhoeven and Maharishi founder Hardy Blechmann in London, graffiti artist Fafi in Paris, artists Ryan McGinness and Wes Lang in New York, innovative creatives Jaybo and Lucio Auri in Berlin, Barcelona filmmaker Roger Gual and Tokyo's cult photographer Yasumusa Yonehara and artist Aya Takano. The spaces they inhabit and work in give a real image of today's avant garde

From London and Milan to New York, we visit the houses, apartments and studios of people who all inhabit very different creative worlds.

Amongst others, we glimpse inside the contemporary townhouse of renowned fashion designer Betty Jackson, the family home of Gisela Garcia-Escuela, one of the leading lights behind the Anthropologie stores, and are given a tour of the combined studio-archive-home of Italian designer Barnaba Fornasetti.

Divided into chapters on Individual Eclecticism, Art-Loving Modernists, Living with Pattern and Colour, Modern Industrialist, Carefully Curated Purists and The Archivist, their very titles give an inkling of the different styles and treasures to be found within the four walls of each property.

The home owners range from well-known names from the worlds of art, design and fashion, to private individuals, and range from a compact London flat to a farmhouse in upstate New York, but all have one thing in common their living spaces are inspired and inspiring, unique, individual, personal, and never, ever run of the mill.

This series will bring together unique, inspiring interiors by renowned photographers worldwide and is made in cooperation with photo agency Taverne Agency.
A unique book that showcases the homes and interiors of artists from all over the world. Be inspired by very personal and original ideas on interior design, from some of the world's most creative people.

Famed interior designer Vicente Wolf is known for a modern and elegant design sensibility that is guided by integrity and simplicity. He is also a photographer of note, capturing images of his own design work and of his travels. Crossing Boundaries is a fascinating combination of the two, a spirited approach that pairs travel and design based on visits to Ethiopia, Myanmar, Syria, Madagascar, and Borneo.

Wolf is an adventurous voyager, and he is captivated by how people express themselves: in the colors and patterns of clothing, the forms and features of architecture, and so on. These influences are incorporated into his own designs, sometimes directly - a collection of brightly colored woven caps that add personality to a Wyoming log cabin - and sometimes indirectly - a composition of gray-blues and gray-greens drawn from succulent plants in a dry riverbed.

As the late twentieth-century fascination with rounded shapes, organic influences, and plastics fades, interior designers are increasingly drawn to deep colours, polished woods, velvets, furs, leather, dark metals, and brick – materials used liberally in the past – that have a nostalgic quality.

Efforts to shape a less austere present by creating an idealized version of the past have begun to appear in commercial and residential design throughout the country and abroad.

Dark Nostalgia presents over twenty-five projects that exemplify the smooth incorporation of evocative historic detail into current interiors.

Public spaces, including New York’s famous Royalton Hotel lobby renovation, Shoreditch House in London, and Alain Ducasse’s newest restaurant, Adour, as well as private residences and smaller, intimate restaurants and clubs by cutting-edge designers, including AvroKO, David Rockwell, Roman & Williams, Julian Schnabel, Philippe Starck and Adam Tihany, demonstrate the many successful ways this trend towards a dark nostalgia has been incorporated in recent designs.

As one of today’s most sought-after designers, Amanda Nisbet brings a fresh, energetic approach to the traditional sense of luxury. Color, texture, and form blend to create her trademark comfortable elegance, and her work seamlessly balances function and style, classicism and modernism, in beautifully unexpected ways. With over 250 spectacular photographs of New York City apartments, country houses, and Hamptons beach homes, this extraordinary volume will show readers how to bring punch and color to classic rooms.

Whether you are designing a brand new home or simply updating one room’s interior, Decorate is teeming with clever, creative and quirky advice from the world’s best designers and architects.

The likes of Jonathan Adler, Kelly Hoppen, Amy Neunsinger, Rita Konig, Amy Butler and Abigail Ahern reveal essential tools of the trade, from where to put your furniture to how to dress a room with your own individual style. The book is a gorgeous source of essential expert guidance, featuring both quick fixes for small budgets and indulgent ideas for more ambitious projects.

The text is divided into sections, each punctuated with top tips, pearls of decorating wisdom and divine designer secrets:

‘Space Matters’ has a blank-canvas approach, showing you how best to assess a space and work out its specific decorating needs. A section on ‘Setting Your Style’ profiles a huge range of different interior aesthetics, from Natural and Fleamarket Style to Modern Glamour and Eclectic. ‘Room By Room’ concentrates on each room of the house and tells you what you need to know to transform any area. Finally, ‘Attention to Detail’ reveals the smaller elements that can utterly transform a space, without affecting the architecture or structure of a building. These final touches include hanging pictures, arranging flowers, cushions and lights.

Decorate’s vast selection of styles, boasting contributions from the industry’s top designers, makes it an essential book for anyone looking to transform their home’s interior

Whatever kind of home you live in - from a high-rise condo on Miami Beach to a glass-enclosed "cabin" in the Pacific Northwest to a New York City townhouse or a ranch house in Dallas - Decorate has something to offer. With its focus on current trends, this book offers advice and insight from some of the top designers working today.

The 33 projects that are collected in this book are artfully photographed and informatively explained. It will give you so many ideas about transforming the home you own into your dream house, that you'll want to start repainting your living room as soon as you spot your favorite room in the book. Decorate concentrates on design and decoration, rather than new construction or structural renovation, hoping that the lessons of each location included will be realistic goals for many homeowners.

Many of the houses, apartments, condominiums, and townhouses that appear in the book are the homes of the professionals who designed them. Others were created for clients. Some of the decorators are at the top of their profession. All of the locations demonstrate important aspects of what is happening in design today.

If the pictures are meant to inspire, however, the text is designed to show you how - or at least give you some insight into what kinds of questions to ask when the time comes to create your own before and after photos. Straight-shooting advice from the pros help you avoid costly errors, a "Key to the Style" box explains the designer's approach and concepts, and "What the Pros Know" sidebars help you gain insight into the ways in which the theoretical becomes possible no matter what kind of home you have.
