Jed Johnson: Opulent Restraint, the first book to chronicle the fascinating career, work and times of an interior design superstar, is now back in print after many years.

From humble beginnings in Minnesota, Johnson rose to prominence in the 1970s New York, via the Warhol Factory, to the highest echelons of the rarified world of design. He was named by Architectural Digest in the January 2010 issue one of “The Worlds 20 Greatest Designers of All Time.” His impressive client list included Pierre Berge, Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall, Richard Gere, and Barbara Streisand. Yet, he never lost his shy humility, generous spirit, and quiet grace. Through a series of essays, project photographs, and personal photographs, we trace the influences on his nascent career, his special relationship with Andy Warhol as recently portrayed in the Netflix series of 2022 “The Andy Warhol Diaries," and his magical effect on others. Many never-before-seen photographs are included by important photographers, among them: Cecil Beaton, Francesco Scavuello, Billy Name, Jack Mitchell, John Hall, Elizabeth Heyert, and Warhol himself. Opulent Restraint is a must have for every interior design office.

This striking book showcases fresh, contemporary interiors that reflect Jennifer Post’s “pure space” philosophy: a serene, meticulously organized volume that offers a peaceful break from a busy world. From lofts in New York City to Miami high-rises to Palm Beach villas, each interior is immaculately conceived, detailed, and constructed — the epitome of pure, tailored modernism.

In her own words, Post demonstrates how she transforms living environments into elegantly edited spaces, using clean lines, white surfaces that reflect natural light, and open areas that allow a home to breathe. Since the age of eight, when she traveled to neighbors’ houses offering to organize their closets and rearrange their rooms, Post has been dedicated to her pure aesthetic vision, resulting in a timeless body of work.

This is the first monograph on designer Post, who for a decade has been included among Architectural Digest’s coveted AD 100 list of the world’s top architects and designers.

Nine recent projects by renowned architect John Ike

A signature shingled house in a New York suburb, a renovated mid-century modern house in San Diego, a glass-and-brick house near Seattle, a beach house on the Atlantic coast, a reimagined historic building in Brooklin, Maine — the projects featured in this book vary widely in style, location, and materials, but all share a common sensibility. For John Ike, partner at Ike Baker Velten and formerly a founding partner of the award-winning firm Ike Kligerman Barkley, they are all vehicles illustrating the myriad ways architecture is created. His involvement in them ranges from mentor to principal architect and designer, but all are collaborations, and in each chapter he focuses attention on a person who was particularly instrumental in realizing the project, whether the interior designer, the landscape architect, the contractor, a craftsperson, or the client. With an authoritative text by seasoned architecture and design writer Mitchell Owens and specially commissioned photography, John Ike: 9 Houses, 9 Stories explores and celebrates the inextricable bond between the architect and those who implement his vision, a give-and-take that results in singularly designed residences.

About the Authors:

John Ike has been practicing architecture and design for more than four decades. He travels widely, and his aesthetic is influenced by the architectural traditions and regional inflections of the places he visits, particularly Italy, Scandinavia, Mexico, and northern Canada. In 1989, following a formative stint in the office of Robert A. M. Stern, with whom he had studied for his Master of Architecture degree at the Graduate School of Architecture at Columbia University, he co-founded Ike Kligerman Barkley. During his thirty-three years with Ike Kligerman Barkley, the firm published two books, Ike Kligerman Barkley: Houses and The New Shingled House. It received numerous awards, including the AIA New York Chapter Award, the DDB Stars of Design Award, the ICAA Julia Morgan Award, and the ICAA Stanford White Award, and it was named to the AD100 and the Elle Decor A-List. In 2023, Ike co-founded his new firm, Ike Baker Velten. As a designer, he has collaborated on the glass furniture line Chroma D with photographer Irene Mamiye. A father of three and an avid hunter and fisherman, Ike spends his spare time working on his mid-century modern residences in New Jersey and San Diego and his loft in Oddfellows Hall, a historic 19th-century ceremonial lodge in Brooklin, Maine.

Mitchell Owens is the American editor of The World of Interiors and a host of @indegaretravel. He was formerly decorative arts editor at Architectural Digest. He lives in New York.

Architecture and interiors photographer Richard Powers has photographed more than 20 books and his work appears regularly in the US and European editions of Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, The World of Interiors, Vogue, and the Wall Street Journal. He lives in the south of France.

Famed Picasso biographer and art historian Sir John Richardson opens the doors of residences from his life, revealing an autobiographical sketch through handsomely decorated rooms filled with art, antiques, and intriguing mementoes, each with a special story.

John Richardson's Bohemian Aristocrat interiors are, and have been throughout his life, filled with fine English and American antiques; interesting textiles; works of art by friends, legendary artists Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Lucian Freud, Andy Warhol, and Robert Mapplethorpe; vivid color combinations; and objects that prompt stories from a well-lived life. From London and the stately buildings of Stowe School, in the idyllic Buckinghamshire countryside, to the south of France, New York City, and the Connecticut countryside, Richardson shares the story of his life through places, objects, and people--a form of autobiography, gloriously illustrated, entertainingly told.

In stories about his residences in the south of France (at the Château de Castille with celebrated art historian and collector Douglas Cooper), London (a set of rooms at the famed Albany apartment house), and the United States (glamorous New York City apartments and a country retreat in Connecticut), Richardson reveals his life through a mélange of interesting places, mementoes, works of art, furnishings that prompt stories, and an endlessly fascinating assortment of friends and acquaintances--Fernand Léger, Lady Diana Cooper, Fran Lebowitz, and Oscar and Annette de la Renta, to name a few. Essential reading for those interested in twentieth-century art and social history, grandly livable interiors, and the good life.

About the Author

Sir John Richardson, KBE, FBA is a British art historian and Picasso biographer. He ran the New York office of Christie's for nine years, starting in 1973; has consulted with galleries and a mutual fund specializing in works of art; and has contributed to The New Yorker and Vanity Fair.

This long-awaited monograph brings together fifty years of work and demonstrates how the interiors guru has drawn on a global range of influences for his designs as well as his furniture and fabric collections.

John Stefanidis established his design practice in Chelsea, London, in 1967, attracting a discerning international clientele with his carefully considered, vibrant, and beautiful transformation of homes worldwide.

If there is such a thing as a Stefanidis “look,” it combines an original use of vibrant color, an eclectic aesthetic, great sensitivity to proportions, and comfort matched with international flair. With interiors that are often distinguished by bespoke elements—bronze door pulls, oak shutters, an inlaid table, a pair of simple, oak-topped chests — Stefanidis’s creations often feature the handiwork of decorative painters and other craftspeople who marbleize woodwork and lay in floor mosaics. This lavishly illustrated survey—with images taken for the foremost shelter magazines and unpublished photographs from the designer’s archive — closely follows Stefanidis’s trajectory from his professional start in the late 1960s to his most recent, celebrated projects. Sifting through a vast personal archive, Stefanidis shares exclusive insights into his process, his own rules for decorating, and personal stories of his adventures and friendships with many of the leading lights of the day.

About the Author:

John Stefanidis is a world-renowned interior designer with an international clientele. Born in pre-war Alexandria, Stefanidis moved to the UK to attend Oxford. In 1967 he established his practice from a studio in Chelsea, London, and since then has specialized in the architectural and interior design of residential properties and hotels across the globe. Stefanidis has also created original fabric and furniture ranges influenced by his many travels. Susanna Moore is the author of several novels, including most recently The Lost Wife (Knopf, 2023), and her memoir, Miss Aluminum (FSG, 2020), which was praised by the New York Times, the New Yorker, the Financial Times, Vogue, and many more. Moore is a Visiting Fellow at Princeton University.

Яскрава колекція проектів від мексиканського архітектора та дизайнера інтер’єрів Хорхе Лойзаги, вишукано зафіксованих одним із найзахопливіших сучасних фотографів подорожей та інтер’єрів.

Багатопрофільна практика Хорхе Лойзаги, що базується в Мехіко, зосереджена на збереженні традицій в архітектурі, інтер’єрах, меблях і декоративному мистецтві з моменту свого заснування в 1969 році. Завдяки пристрасті до класичного дизайну, спадщини та позачасової майстерності, а також підготовці Лойзаги з реставрації історичних пам’яток, витончена перспектива фірми Архітектура та інтер’єри перекладають освячений часом стиль і місцеві традиції на сучасну міжнародну візуальну мову.

У цьому томі представлено понад 20 будинків і маєтків серед найкращих проектів Лойзаги. Завдяки класичним моделям, які слугують натхненням — від іспанських барочних соборів до бульварів Beaux-Arts і французьких замків 18-го століття — представлені будівлі та інтер’єри відображають унікальну суміш доіспанських, іспанських та інших європейських елементів Лойзаги. Неопубліковані фотографії демонструють вражаючі дизайни як інтер’єрів, так і екстер’єрів, оживлених фірмовим стилем Лойзаги, визначеним яскравими, розкішними штрихами та детальним підходом до історичних впливів. Від вілли в тосканському стилі з вишуканим італійським декором до мексиканської колоніальної резиденції та приватного будинку, який нагадує паризький готель particulier, цей том пропонує нескінченне натхнення для ентузіастів сучасного інтер’єру.

Про автора:

Хорхе Лойзага — мексиканський архітектор, реставратор і засновник дизайн-студії Loyzaga в Мехіко, якою керує разом зі своїми дочками Софією та Фернандою. Маурісіо де ла Гарса Кларіонд — мексиканський архітектор, фотограф, дизайнер, блогер про інтер’єри та подорожі. Філіп Альваре — редактор, письменник і креативний директор.

Перша публікація, присвячена гламурним будинкам Карла Лагерфельда, відомим своїми еклектичними інтер’єрами, починаючи від ар-деко і закінчуючи ультрасучасними

У той час як Карл Лагерфельд був відомий тим, що перебував у самому центрі індустрії моди понад півстоліття, він був так само самовпевнений, коли справа доходила до інтер’єрів, які діяли як приватний творчий вихід поряд з його модним дизайном.

Після огляду Патріка Морієса кожен будинок представлений коротким текстом Марі Кальт, який розкриває його історію та визначає ключових дизайнерів і предмети. Будинки задокументовані за датою, починаючи з рідкісних фотографій ранніх звернень Лагерфельда в 1960-х і 1970-х роках до його останньої покупки будинку в 2009 році. Від елегантної квартири в стилі ар-деко в Сен-Сюльпіс, Париж, до неймовірно вишуканого особняка 18-го століття Hôtel Pozzo di Borgo (його музи та співавтора). Аманда Харлех описала Лагерфельда як «Версальського комплексу») – будинки Лагерфельда свідчать про те, що він був колекціонером епохи Відродження та продемонстрував вражаючий діапазон у своїх стилях декорування. Лагерфельд врівноважував старе з новим, з гумором описуючи мінімалістичний декор своєї 200-річної квартири на набережній Вольтера в Парижі як «літання на власному космічному кораблі над дуже цивілізованим минулим», і переходив від однієї атмосфери до іншої, залишаючи спроектовану в Мемфісі квартиру в Монте-Карло для тематичного римського pied-à-terre на тему Великого туру, за яким слідували буколічні французькі заміські будинки та навіть величний Північна вілла в рідному Гамбурзі.

Карл Лагерфельд: Життя в будинках, представлений у великому елегантному форматі, стане багатим джерелом натхнення для тих, хто цікавиться дизайном інтер’єру, і сподобається шанувальникам декоративного мистецтва та самому модельєру.

Про автора:

Патрік Морієс є автором і видавцем багатьох видатних видань про моду та дизайн, зокрема Chanel Catwalk, Goude: The Chanel Sketchbooks, Fornasetti: Designer of Dreams і The World Відповідно до Карла. Марі Кальт — колишній головний редактор Architectural Digest France. Вона є автором книг «Найкрасивіші кімнати світу» та «Новий шик: французький стиль» від провідних дизайнерів інтер’єру сучасності.

The Moscow Metro is a unique place. With a network of 400 kilometers of lines, exceptionally deep tunnels and stations, and nearly nine million passengers a day, it is one of the most heavily frequented underground subway systems in the world. Katharina Gruzei explored it over several years and now presents an aesthetically fascinating and socioculturally remarkable photographic survey. Ideologically charged and symbolic of Russia's eventful history, the Metro was started as a prestige project and simultaneously conceived to also be used as a bunker. It was always intended as a place for people to congregate and is still today a living space where social, political and societal tendencies are made legible.

With her photo series, the artist enables an extraordinary journey through time and space in the underground of Moscow, a metropolis of millions.

About the Author:

Katharina Gruzei studied fine arts at the University of Art in Linz and the University of the Arts Berlin. She lives and works in Linz and Vienna as a freelance artist specializing in the media of photography, video, film, sound, and installation.

Known as the gardener of fashion, Ken Scott designed large-scale flowers that blossomed on fabrics and whole outfits and have recently been rediscovered in Gucci’s Epilogue collection.

The American fashion designer Ken Scott was a masterful creator of fabrics, mapping out flowers with romanticism and multiplying them as he transformed them into something that stood out and reflected his eclectic personality.

Born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Scott moved to Milan in the 1950s, where he pioneered many colorful patterned fabrics and collections and founded the Falconetto brand. Known for bright floral patterns with peonies, roses, poppies, sunflowers, petunias, and asters, Scott followed a maximalist design philosophy when it came to his vibrant line. In the 1960s, he is said to have been one of the first designers to showcase calf-length skirts in his collection, while in 1970s he rose to fame because of his floral-printed suits for both men and women and unisex catwalks.

They called him “the fashion gardener,” but he was so many things: a gifted painter, an experimental restaurateur, an ingenious textile artist, and one of the most brilliant design savants of the twentieth century.

Edited together with the Ken Scott Foundation, including an interview with Alessandro Michele, this book provides an in-depth exploration of his archives and thoroughly reflects his imagination for everything from loungewear and luggage to silk scarves and swimsuits, all joyfully splashed with his colors, sunflowers, poppies, petunias, and peonies.

The major monograph on Kengo Kuma, revised and expanded to include five new projects

The quintessential Japanese architect of today, Kengo Kuma has forged a modern design language that artfully combines the country’s traditional building crafts with sophisticated technologies and materials. From his iconic Glass House (1995) to Dundee’s V&A (2018), this is the complete record of Kuma’s built work, comprising thirty projects to date.

The heart of the book consists of projects presented in detail, accompanied by descriptive text and detailed drawings, and organized by the material themes that have come to define the architect’s output. This new edition includes five new projects: Komatsu Seiren Fabric Laboratory fa-bo, Under One Roof project for the EPFL ArtLab, Japan House São Paulo, China Academy of Art Folk Art Museum, and the V&A Dundee.
