A house by the sea should be a house of dreams. Where windows and doors are thrown open to the ocean, and gusts of cool, salty air turn us all into kids again -- buoyant and joyful.

Spending childhood days on the beach and in the magical, romantic chaos of her family's rambling house internationally renowned interior designer Celerie Kemble has a deep-rooted connection to the sun and surf. However, in the summer of 2004, Kemble laid eyes on a wild swath of jungle in the Dominican Republic next to minty-blue water and an endless stretch of golden sand, she fell madly in love. Over many years, she designed a home away from home there, an island retreat -- a clubhouse and a grouping of family homes and guesthouses -- suffused with light and air, full of indoor and outdoor rooms for relaxation. In her latest book, Island Whimsy, Kemble recounts the deeply personal and creative journey of designing Playa Grande and bringing this labor of love to life.

The chapters of this book are organized around the different ways Kemble sought to braid her family's story into the larger landscape of Playa Grande and to provide inspiration, joy, and respite to all who come. "Fantasy" looks at the way she used whimsical, dreamlike elements -- from the latticework cabanas by the pool to the lamb statues on the property who "mow" the lawns -- throughout the property to create a sense of play and possibility. "Light, Salt, Air" describes how she went about bringing the most precious elements of the beach into the homes themselves, creating a feeling of flow and permeability, and reminding visitors constantly of where they are. "In the Jungle" looks at the design cues she took from the flora and fauna of the tropical rainforest surrounding Playa Grande to create an alluring tension between chaos and refinement. "Sweet & Dark" examines the surprising color combinations that tango into life in the tropics -- whether in the form of tribal prints in hot Gauguin colors mixed with Jordan-almond pastels or handmade objects like a papier-mâché lobster mask that brings a shout of spirit to a room. Finally, "Texture" focuses on the powerful impact that thoughtfully layered materials -- from rough, local coquina stone and painted antique wicker to the smooth polished cotton of Dutch wax prints -- have on a space. 

Throughout this lovingly crafted book, ideas abound for anyone decorating a sunny home or fantasizing about spending time in one. Kemble shares inspiration for creating a sense of openness to the sea, sand, and sky; offering places to wash sandy feet or perfect viewing spots for a sunset-saturated drink; and infusing spaces with invitation, welcome, and magic.

From Pucci's psychedelic patterns to Iuter's skate-inspired prints: how Italian designers have led innovations in textiles throughout the 20th century

The dynamic geometrical patterns of Emilio Pucci; the dazzling trompe-l'oeil effects of Roberta di Camerino; the pop sensibilities of Gianni Versace and Franco Moschino; the bold street-style prints of Iuter and Sunnei--these and countless other innovations have made Italian design a leading force in the history of 20th-century textiles.

This volume documents the history of Italian textiles from the beginning of the 20th century through to the present day, exploring their evolution in relation to the dominant styles of various periods. This is a history deeply interwoven with the birth of the totemic "Made in Italy'' concept, as textiles have significantly contributed to Italy's international reputation as a bastion of high-quality fashion and design. Numerous Italian artists, fashion designers, product designers and companies have pioneered and popularized a vast range of manufacturing processes that incorporate local fabrics and innovative techniques.

Featuring sumptuous illustrations of finished fabrics, preparatory drawings and photographs, Italian Textiles compiles the country's most notable design coups. Among the thematic sections in the book are those dedicated to scarfs, skirts, shirts, ties, wallpapers, tablecloths and various other fabricated objects.

Designers include: Fede Cheti, Enrico Coveri, Roberta di Camerino, Dolce & Gabbana, Salvatore Ferragamo, Lucio Fontana, Piero Fornasetti, Mariano Fortuny, Gucci, Iuter, Franco Moschino, Bruno Munari, Gio Ponti, Prada, Emilio Pucci, Ken Scott, Ettore Sottsass, Sunnei, Valentino and Versace.

Thirty-one new projects by master Parisian interior designer Jacques Grange redefine his visionary talent

Over the course of his fifty-year career, Jacques Grange has designed homes for the world’s most respected collectors, artists, designers, and tastemakers, including Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, François Pinault, Robert Agostinelli, Valentino, Israel Englander, Stavros Niarchos, Terry and Jean de Gunzburg, Lauren and Andres Santo Domingo, Aerin Lauder, Per Skarstedt, and HRH The Princess of Hanover. His classical training at Paris’s École Boulle and École Camondo, his early experience with the French design legend Henri Samuel, and his passion for contemporary art have resulted in a uniquely discerning approach to interior design. Grange’s seemingly natural, “non-designed” aesthetic is revealed through his unusual way of grouping objects, and an unparalleled sense of style and attention to detail.

This essential volume illustrates Grange’s wide-ranging inspirations and exquisite taste through thirty-one new residential projects in Europe and America, from a luxury hôtel particulier in Paris to a chic beachside cabana in Comporta, Portugal, and a midcentury-modern house in Los Angeles. Texts and interviews by Parisian gallerist Pierre Passebon delineate Grange’s approach to design and decoration. Previously unpublished photography by François Halard captures these singular projects with profound sensibility.

The first book from a rising star of the interior design world, whose signature style has earned him celebrity clientele, coveted design collaborations, and a place on the AD100 list.

In just a few years, the pioneering young British designer Jake Arnold has become one of the most influential names in American interiors, creating modern spaces that transcend time and trends.

Integrating the traditions of his English upbringing and the relaxed luxury of contemporary California lifestyle, Arnold’s sensibility is a warm minimalism that is simultaneously chic and serene.

With Redefining Comfort, his first book, Jake Arnold shares nine fully realized projects — from sprawling estates in California to seaside homes in Florida — whose interiors reflect the seductive combination of elegance, tactility, and pleasure.

Unique in his determination to lift the curtain on the designer’s process, Arnold ties each project to a key value of his design philosophy — touchpoints that aim to answer the question of how we define comfort in each of these homes — which he explores in depth between each chapter. With sketches, material swatches, and favorite resources alongside stunning photography of the interiors themselves, the book is a sumptuous survey of one of the most in-demand superstar designers working today and a refreshingly accessible reference for contemporary interior inspiration.

Перша книга про роботу дизайнера, чиї вишукані класичні інтер’єри користуються багатьма побажаннями та наслідують як втілення французького стилю.

Jean-Louis Deniot, визнаний одним із найкращих дизайнерів усіма міжнародними дизайнерськими журналами та користується загальним захопленням редакторів дизайну, користується попитом.

Його оновлений класичний підхід тепер прикрашає інтер’єри в Парижі, французькій сільській місцевості, Москві, Індії, Нью-Йорку, Чикаго, Лос-Анджелесі та за його межами — і його спадщину вже порівнюють зі спадщиною великих дизайнерів, таких як Жак Гранж і Альберто Пінто.

Деніо перш за все є архітектором, який гарантує, що внутрішня архітектура його кімнат є гармонійною, перш ніж застосувати неокласичний підхід до декору. Він привносить у свою роботу освіту, логіку та історію дизайну, одним оком дивлячись на найвишуканіший стиль французького вісімнадцятого століття, а одним оком — на двадцяте та двадцять перше століття. Його суміш дуже індивідуальна і включає сучасне мистецтво та виготовлені на замовлення меблі, але його кімнати завжди виглядають комфортно і ніколи не надто офіційні чи модні.

Ця книга демонструє новий, витончений класичний стиль, який змінює сцену для міжнародного дизайну та пропонує натхнення та ідеї для декораторів, домовласників та ентузіастів антикваріату.

Про авторів:

Diane Dorrans Saeks є відомим лектором дизайну. Вона є засновницею блогу про дизайн/подорожі The Style Saloniste та автором книг Ann Getty: Interior Style та Michael S. Smith: Elements of Style.
