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.

Who, exactly, is a haute bohemian? Leave it to the discriminating, gimlet eye of photographer Miguel Flores-Vianna, who enjoys an international, cult-like following. He has journeyed through four continents to capture an extraordinary group of fashion designers, landscape architects, artists and art historians, potters, and interior designers, where they live — country cottages, beach bungalows, canal-side lofts, and East Village apartments, as well as assorted estancias, châteaux, and palazzi. Some of these spaces are grand, others are modest, but all are original, stylish, charming, and above all authentic, in the sense that they reflect their owners’ care and taste.
