An elegant presentation of interiors for introverts, placing the memorable work of London architect William Smalley alongside buildings around the world that have inspired his practice.

Quiet Spaces places the work of architect William Smalley alongside spaces that have inspired him. Places of private contemplation – calm spaces to read a book or listen to music in, to walk through or simply be in – they are spaces that achieve a rare sense of repose and peace.

From his own Bloomsbury Apartment and projects in the UK, France and New York, the book expands to include the work of other architects: a sixteenth-century villa by Palladio, houses in Mexico and Sri Lanka and the Secular Retreat in Devon by Swiss master architect Peter Zumthor. There are also places of making and displaying art: simplicity in Barbara Hepworth’s garden and studio in Cornwall, and intimacy in Kettle’s Yard gallery in Cambridge.

Specially commissioned photography by Harry Crowder conveys the atmosphere of the spaces. A foreword by acclaimed potter and writer Edmund de Waal records the small, unspoken ways in which we relate to buildings and how they come to have meaning for us.

About the Author:

William Smalley established his studio in London in 2010 with the simple aim of making beautiful spaces and places. He has since worked around the UK and abroad. He has been described as an architect of rare sensibility, and his work as having the simplicity of a limewashed medieval building, filtered and made lucid through a completely modern sensibility. Edmund de Waal is an internationally renowned artist and writer, best known for his large-scale installations of porcelain vessels, often created in response to collections and archives. He published his bestselling family memoir, The Hare with Amber Eyes, in 2010. He lives and works in London. Harry Crowder is a British photographer, based in London and working nationally and internationally, focusing on interiors and architecture. His work seeks to capture the feeling of being in a space. He travelled extensively with William in the shooting of this book. Hélène Binet is an internationally acclaimed Swiss-French photographer based in London. She studied photography in Rome, and over more than thirty-five years has captured both contemporary and historic architecture. She is a fervent advocate of analogue photography, working exclusively on film.

A stunning celebration of Ralph Lauren’s signature home collections — including the designer’s own homes — which have inspired the world of interior design for nearly half a century.

The cinematic vision of Ralph Lauren is brought to life with a stunning and intimately written book that spans decades of innovation and influence by the iconic American designer. Ralph Lauren: A Way of Living, published by Rizzoli New York, commemorates the 40th anniversary of the home collection with the first comprehensive volume dedicated to the signature style of Ralph Lauren and his pioneering lifestyle approach to design. From trailblazing innovations that revolutionized the home industry to conceptualizing residential retailing and perfecting the art of hospitality, Lauren has created a multifaceted world that evokes emotion and inspires a more beautiful way of life.

This special volume presents a visual timeline of Ralph Lauren’s remarkable history as a lifestyle innovator. Lauren’s unparalleled ability to seamlessly blend fashion and the home is illustrated with the groundbreaking designs and innovative use of materials that have distinguished the home collection since its inception in 1983: menswear-inspired Oxford Cloth bedding that required the creation of special looms and took two years to refine; the sleek RL-CF1 chair, crafted of carbon fiber and inspired by Lauren’s McLaren F1 racecar; and an appreciation for a timeworn, weathered aesthetic, as exemplified in the iconic Writer’s Chair with its hand-burnished leather and rich patina. Historic achievements such as the opening of his first New York City flagship on Madison Avenue – which invited guests to experience the complete World of Ralph Lauren in a residential environment – and his renowned restaurants that offer the epitome of gracious hospitality, demonstrate the magnitude of Ralph Lauren’s influence on the worlds of lifestyle design and hospitality. The timeline is complete with quotes from distinguished members of the design world and prominent figures of our culture including Oprah Winfrey, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and architecture critic Paul Goldberger.

Ralph Lauren’s signature ability to create transportive environments begins with his private homes that inspire his iconic lifestyle collections. Ralph Lauren: A Way of Living offers an in-depth look at all the places Lauren calls home, from a sprawling ranch in Colorado and an island retreat in Jamaica, to a Fifth Avenue penthouse overlooking Manhattan’s Central Park, a seaside home in Montauk and a country estate in Bedford. Lauren’s homes are deeply personal expressions of his vision for living; captivating imagery is complemented by essays and descriptions written in his own words that intimately express the meaning of home and share inspiration and anecdotes for each residence. The photos of Lauren’s captivating homes are followed by a celebration of Ralph Lauren Home’s lifestyle collections – cinematic worlds that are brought to life with iconic imagery showcasing Lauren’s pioneering lifestyle approach and all-encompassing home collection.

Ralph Lauren: A Way of Living honors the life and work of a true visionary and innovator. Ralph Lauren’s monumental impact on the way we live is as recognizable today as it was groundbreaking 40 years ago. His vision is not about trends of the moment, but is built upon values and things that last, and his legacy will continue to shape the places we call home.

Rocky Mountain Modern is a collection of the most inspiring modern residences in the Rockies, a region with a surprising but deep history of modernist design 

Rocky Mountain Modern presents the most inspiring modern residences set within the stunning landscapes of the Rockies. Perched on cliffsides or nestled into verdant valleys, with expansive picture windows framing breathtaking vistas and natural materials such as wood and stone interpreted in new ways, these striking homes reveal modern living at its best in the mountains.

Indeed, modern design has a deep connection to the region: in the 1940s, Aspen, a former mining town in the Colorado Rockies, became an unlikely bastion of modernism, hosting some of the world’s leading designers, including Herbert Bayer, Eero Saarinen, Buckminster Fuller, and Victor Lundy. Over the ensuing decades, a regional modernism developed that blended clean lines, open volumes, and glass walls with the natural features of the rocky landscape and a vernacular that had adapted to the extreme environmental conditions. 

Rocky Mountain Modern celebrates this enduring tradition of modernism through the most remarkable residences in the region, designed by such architecture studios as Selldorf Architects, Olson Kundig, and Allied Works in Aspen, Telluride, Vail, Sun Valley, Jackson Hole, and other picturesque locales across the Rocky Mountains, from New Mexico to British Columbia.

The first book on the work of Steven Volpe, a designer acclaimed for his grand-scale, bespoke interiors and his impeccable craftsmanship that blurs the line between art and furnishings.

Steven Volpe combines a minimalist approach with a classical sensibility and a connoisseur’s appreciation for authenticity. Adept at mixing pieces from different periods — eighteenth-century pieces combine with midcentury furniture and contemporary art, for example — Volpe brings a richness to his modern interiors.

Volpe was one of the first to champion loft living, moving into a 75-year-old converted warehouse, but he brings his classical training into the modern spaces he favors. “I learned what was appropriate and proper, and now I, too, can break those rules,” he says. One of the ways Volpe breaks the rules is by melding art with decor in his interiors, endearing him to a sophisticated, artistic clientele.

This volume showcases ten recent projects, exploring work in a range of spaces, from New York City penthouses and modernist California homes to a traditional London townhouse. Each project displays Volpe’s refined sensibility and understated luxury, showing how he creates thought-provoking environments that quietly stimulate all the senses.

With stunning photography and in-depth essays by Volpe and Architectural Digest writer Mayer Rus, this handsome volume offers inspiration and ideas to designers, art lovers, collectors, and homeowners.

About the Authors:

Steven Volpe founded Studio Volpe in the 1990s in San Francisco. Studio Volpe has been published in Architectural Digest, the New York Times, WSJ: The Wall Street Journal Magazine, Elle Decor, and other international journals. Mayer Rus is the West Coast editor of Architectural Digest.

Buildings and spaces bearing traces of the past that are integrated into new functional and artistic concepts are galvanizing the architecture and design scene. As a result of the increased awareness of sustainability issues and growing appreciation for existing building structures more and more often the decision is being made to convert rather than demolish – sometimes also because of economic considerations. This volume explores the question of the functional and creative possibilities emerging from revitalization that respects existing structures.

The projects carefully selected for this volume demonstrate their worth through sophisticated concepts of utilization and ingenious approaches to design. The existing building structure is not renovated or even restored, but rather left as it is found with traces of past uses, often of its demise, preserved, sometimes carefully enhanced. Whether through aggressive contrast with the new or an interpretation of the existing spaces and surfaces, the interventions always show respect and consideration and establish an enthralling relationship between the old and the new.

‘The emphasis that Scandinavians place on the home being a source of happiness and wellbeing is one we identify with. We believe that everyone should have a home they don’t want to leave!’

Award-winning bloggers and instagrammers Reena Simon and Rebecca Lawson are renowned for their love affair with all things Scandi. In their first book, Scandi Rustic, they reveal how to create a home that takes elements of Scandinavian design and introduces rustic natural materials and textures to create a Scandi-inspired interior that is cosy, relaxed and inviting. Come with Rebecca and Reena on a journey across the UK and Europe showcasing the very best in Scandi Rustic homes. Whether you live in an urban apartment, a country cottage or a blank canvas new-build, this relaxed, sustainable, modern rustic style will work perfectly for your home.

Home Inspiration by teNeues goes into the next round – and has never been more relevant. After all, when the world around us is in shambles, a home with a feel-good vibe is essential. For some, a pared-down aesthetic that exudes a pleasant homeliness may be the right path to well-deserved ease; for others, a cheerful riot of colour is a fitting counterpart to the monochromatic daily grind. Two very different approaches that nevertheless pursue the same goal: to conjure up a real retreat from a simple living space.

Whether Hygge or Lagom, the Scandinavians manage the balancing act between inviting cosiness and inspiring modernity without precedent. Almost puristic in appearance, a combination of natural materials such as wood, pampas grass or ceramics and clean lines create an unobtrusive understatement. This turns a world of furnishings into an attitude to life that promises more balance in all situations – and this is what people outside Scandinavia are striving for.

In the usual teNeues quality with a high-quality layout, large-format images and exciting content, the new illustrated books in the freshly launched series now skilfully set the scene for two further interior trends, elegantly acting as decorative eye-catching pieces themselves. A practical index, which offers support in the search for brands and manufacturers, as well as fascinating rooms for re-styling make the books true inspirational treasures for every interior enthusiast.

- The latest interior design trends in the accustomed teNeues quality
- With a foreword by renowned expert Claire Bingham and furnishing recommendations from well-known interior designers
- Beautifully designed book spine, with a continuous pattern across the whole series, to bring added style to your bookshelf
- The third publication in the new Home Inspiration series by teNeues

Scandinavia Dreaming illustrates today’s evolving story of Nordic design: one that is equal parts elegance, function, and tradition.

The nuanced realm of Nordic design has two personalities. On one side, there sits the open, light, friendly, and democratic constituent. And, on the other hand, is its moody counterpart: sleek and sophisticated; timeless and traditional; and deeply rooted in the sensations and juxtapositions of nature.  Within the lines of tile-covered roofs born from the existence of nearby clay deposits and large windows that let in light during the shorter winter days, insight into this special thread of skilled craftsmanship awaits. Scandinavia Dreaming presents dazzling interiors, architecture, and products that show the richness, variety, and intensity of contemporary Nordic spaces.

Artisans fresh from design school breathe new life into the wonted usage of tile, wood, glass, ceramics, and other customarily Nordic materials. Profiles of brands and personalities that have influenced and, arguably, brought Nordic threads to the forefront of design conversations, tell an intriguing story: an aesthetic and historic journey through a vast world of style and heritage. Design firms such as Hay, Ferm Living, and Frama are highlighted and extolled for the new layer of warmth and energy that they bring to contemporary Danish design while honoring Scandinavian aesthetics and a space’s need to be both livable and logical. Finnish home textiles by Klaus Haapeniemi and Kustaa Saksi prove that the categories of art and décor are not mutually exclusive. Be it the painstaking searches of Copenhagen’s Gubi design house for neglected furniture that needs a well-honed touch before becoming pieces of the current design narrative or the tantalizing sculptures of Oslo-based designers Kneip that illustrate and investigate the phenomena of nature whilst reflecting the gentle coexistence of Nordic architecture with its surroundings, there exists a seamless pairing of the aesthetic and the historical within this iconic tale of design.

The projects within Scandinavia Dreaming translate to any four walls and readily invite transformation from page to reality. Told through anecdotes from those who live in them and from those who exist in other sectors of the creative community, Scandinavia Dreaming tells of a design school that has a worldwide reputation for its effortless combination of classical restraint and warm materials.

Designer, collector, and proprietor of the contemporary curiosity shop Kabinett & Kammer, Sean Scherer shares his secrets for composing vignettes of favorite objects, showing creative ways to incorporate both cherished possessions and flea-market finds.

How do you make your home come alive with personality, charm, and memory? In the introduction to Sean Scherer’s first book, Kabinett & Kammer: Creating Authentic Interiors, Anderson Cooper writes, “Scherer has a unique ability to place otherwise ordinary objects in a completely unexpected context or grouping and in so doing change the way you see them.”

In Sean Scherer’s Vignettes, Scherer focuses in on the art of combining common objects into aesthetically pleasing groupings, or vignettes. Contending that a vignette can set the whole mood and tone of a room, he shows you how to use any surface in your home, from a tabletop to a bookshelf to a wall, to create lively displays of your favorite items. Beautifully illustrated with Scherer’s own photographs, the book demonstrates how to balance color, texture, and shape, and provides lessons on how to create both symmetrical and asymmetrical vignettes.

Whether you are an inveterate collector or just interested in giving expression to your unique taste, Sean Scherer’s Vignettes shows you how to group the items you love in ways that can have a big impact on your interiors.

Протягом останніх сорока років Томас Клігерман був занурений в історію житлової архітектури, поєднуючи джерела англійської та європейської традицій з американською народною мовою, зокрема стиль пуебло на південному заході та стиль ґонту, який переважає на східному узбережжі з кінця дев’ятнадцятого століття. Основний елемент списку AD100, Клігерман об’єднав ці нитки домашньої архітектури, щоб створити власну американську естетику.

Shingle and Stone: Thomas Kligerman Houses — це повна монографія про кар’єру, яка містить вибір надихаючих резиденцій, які підкреслюють еволюцію його архітектурного мислення.Shingle and Stone представляє тринадцять основних моментів із портфоліо Клігермана, включаючи три проекти, які зараз розробляються. Усі представлені проекти розміщені в надзвичайно красивих природних ландшафтах, від узбережжя Мартас-Він’ярд і Гемптонса до лісів Блакитного хребта Південної Кароліни та тихоокеанського північного заходу, демонструючи глибину та широту творчості архітектора. Ця нова книга, проілюстрована понад 200 вражаючими фотографіями інтер’єрів і екстер’єрів, а також планами, візуалізаціями та ескізами, які розкривають процес проектування, занурить читачів у потужну мову архітектурного бачення Клігермана.

За словами самого архітектора, виняткова архітектура поєднує існуючі стилі, щоб «просунути голку вперед», і ця нова монографія представляє розкішні будинки для однієї родини, які роблять саме це. Написана у співпраці з відомим редактором дизайну Мітчеллом Оуенсом, Shingle and Stone – це надихаюча архітектурна колекція, яка представляє сучасний традиційний дизайн, яким відомий Клігерман. Красиво упакована в пергаментний піджак поверх лляного футляра з шовкографією з одним із власноруч намальованих ескізів Клігермана, ця книга є ідеальною книгою як для архітекторів, так і для ентузіастів дизайну, і вона обов’язково чудово розміститься на будь-якій книжковій полиці, столі чи журнальному столику.

_________

Як повна кар’єрна монографія, у книзі будуть представлені знакові будинки Клігермана, побудовані за останні двадцять років, і поточні проекти, які демонструють еволюцію його архітектурного мислення. Це буде «глибоке занурення» в процес проектування, проілюстроване ескізами та візуалізаціями, а також готовими фотографіями.

Вступ редактора дизайну Architectural Digest Мітчелла Оуенса надасть огляд траєкторії, тоді як власне есе Клігермана зосередиться на його інтересі до розробки справді американського стилю, який відображає як стиль пуебло на південному заході, так і стиль гальки, який переважав уздовж східного узбережжя з кінця дев’ятнадцятого століття.

Клігерман проектує лише односімейні будинки, а його клієнти мають чудові ділянки в Гемптоні та по всій Новій Англії, а також кілька на Західному узбережжі та в Техасі. Він глибоко заглиблений в історію європейської та американської домашньої архітектури та задається питанням про те, чи існує (чи може існувати) парадигма американського будинку. Він виріс у Коннектикуті та Нью-Мексико, тому дві нитки, які він використовує в більшості мистецтв, суцільні форми саману в стилі Puebloan та більш легкий, більш відкритий стиль гонту. Він також розглядає архітекторів Західного узбережжя, таких як Бернард Мейбек, і англійських дизайнерів декоративно-прикладного мистецтва, таких як Восі та Лютієнс. Замість того, щоб розглядати окремі конкретні прецеденти та адаптувати їх до сучасного життя, Клігерман намагається об’єднати кілька напрямків, щоб придумати щось нове – «рухати голку вперед», як він каже.

Про автора:

Том Клігерман виріс у Коннектикуті та Нью-Мексико та провів роки у Франції та Англії як студент. Ці враження пробудили його інтерес до багатої історії вітчизняної архітектури, садів і ландшафтів. До співзасновника Айка Клігермана Барклі він працював у Robert A.M. Stern Architects. Він має ступінь бакалавра Колумбійського університету та ступінь магістра архітектури Єльської школи архітектури.
Клігерман активно працює в професійних організаціях, зокрема в Інституті класичної архітектури та мистецтва, Музейному фонді сера Джона Соана, де він багато років працював головою правління, і Мережі лідерів дизайну.

Відданий вивчає історію житлової архітектури на міжнародному рівні, Клігерман є затребуваним доповідачем і екскурсоводом для роботи Маккіма, Мід енд Уайт, Бернарда Мейбека та інших знакових постатей. Він також ділиться своєю пристрастю в Instagram, де публікує зображення будинків і складних деталей, якими він захоплюється, для 31 тисячі підписників.
