At the end of the 20th century, the longevity of modern man and the lack of time of the younger population to take care of elderly people led to a profound analysis of the new environments and the search for a suitable habitat for the elderly. The new architectures and building technologies offer a wide range of specific solutions that help to improve the living conditions of the elderly. This book presents several models of architecture for the elderly, with details of schemes for geriatric homes, reception centres and special residential projects by architects from different countries as Toyo Ito, Mahler, Gunster & Füchs, MVRDU, Wiel Arets, Vicens and Ramos, Architecture Studio.

A long-established element of the fashion world, where they are used widely as trimmings, belts and tie fastenings, on shoes, clothes, hats and adorning wrists, necks and hair, ribbons also provide a wonderfully versatile way of providing a unique form of decoration in the home.

"Ribbons and Trims" is a celebration of maximalism in interiors, with a wealth of inspiring and creative ideas for adding a decorative touch to your home. With her natural flair for colour and texture, nothing is too daunting or avant-garde for Annabel.

Everything from curtains, blinds, bed covers and furniture to cushions, throws, lamp shades and photo frames can be updated, customized and given a new lease of life to create a focal point, a burst of colour, idiosyncrasy and humour.

The first monograph on the work of Richard Gillette, a visionary designer whose elegant interiors are inspired by the works of the great artists of history.

Richard Gillette is one of America’s leading interior designers, lauded for his comprehensively conceived and exquisitely detailed rooms. A painter by training, his work draws inspiration from the great masters, ranging from artists of the ancient world and the luminaries of the Enlightenment to such familiar figures as Rembrandt, Millais, Klimt, Miro, de Chirico, and Braque, among others.

Richard Gillette: The Art of the Interior presents twenty of the best examples of his interiors. Although his style palette ranges widely, from Cubist Illusion to Victorian Minimal, Pre-Raphaelite Deco to Rococo, all of the apartments and homes featured share a common element: each design was inspired by a central and unifying piece of art that informs the space — a cubist painting by Picasso or Braque, a neo-realist piece by de Chirico, a Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece by Millais. Stunning colour photographs highlight the hallmarks of Gillette’s work — his exceptionally fine craftsmanship and painterly attention to surface and form, elements that contribute to making his interiors works of art in their own right.

A volume rich in sumptuous detail, Richard Gillette: The Art of the Interior is a sublime integration of aesthetics and form in the realized contemporary interior.

About the Author:

Richard Gillette is a New York-based interior designer and principal of Richard Gillette Designs. His work for an international clientele has appeared in publications such as Architectural Digest, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and the New York Times, among many others.

The first volume on the interiors and designs of one of the most influential designers today, providing unique insight into the creative lives of Rick Owens and his wife, Michele Lamy.

This book is conceived as an intimate look into the creative, personal, and often secretive lives of Rick Owens and his wife, muse, and collaborator, Michele Lamy. Known for his self-described “grunge meets glamour” style, Owens showed his first furniture collection in Paris in 2007. It was quickly received as a direct extension of his subversive aesthetic, with its bold mix of material, texture, and functionality, proving that his own artistic universe stretches far beyond the reaches of fashion into a lifestyle his acolytes could embrace.

Rick Owens: Interiors captures the place where Owens began designing furniture as a hobby, his iconic home and headquarters at the Palais Bourbon, a space populated with the furniture that Owens has been designing since 2006. Including antler chairs and petrified bark tables as well as workspaces and bedrooms, this volume provides a unique view of the lifestyle and body of interior design work of an artist who is constantly pushing the boundaries with his personal approach to craft.

Beautifully illustrated with previously unpublished photographs of materials and process, this book offers readers a distinct look at the home and lifestyle of one of the most acclaimed couples working in fashion today.

Rick Owens is an American fashion designer and winner of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award.

Robert A. M. Stern is dedicated to the synthesis of tradition and innovation. In more than thirty-five years of practice, he has produced a wide range of building types with a variety of stylistic influences, all inspired by the great legacy of American architecture. His firm, Robert A. M. Stern Architects, was first recognized for its distinguished houses, and residential design remains the cornerstone of the practice. This beautifully illustrated monograph - a companion to the best-selling Robert A. M. Stern: Houses - presents twenty-six of the firm's most memorable houses.

Located in diverse settings across North America - from a valley in Colorado with sweeping views of the Aspen mountains to a bluff overlooking Long Island Sound to an island off the coast of British Columbia - these remarkable houses reveal the architect's emphasis on the importance of context and his dedication to exploring the nature of space. Each house invokes the vernacular architectural heritage particular to its region while gracefully reflecting its unique natural surroundings. Whether they are Shingle Style "cottages" by the sea, colonial Georgian country estates, or elegant Regency designs, Stern's houses are unique both for their timelessness and their ability to evoke a conversation with the past - a dialogue he believes lies at the heart of architecture.
