The ultimate design bible for the Victorian home, placing period features and 19th-century design in context and exploring how today’s designers are adapting these houses in innovative ways for contemporary lifestyles

Loved for their period character, Victorian homes aren’t always suited to modern living. Victorian Modern is the ultimate design bible to help you make sense of those inherited quirks and features, showing how artists, designers and creative homeowners are turning their own homes into contemporary showstoppers.

The book comprises seven chapters, organized according to how we use our homes: dining, cooking, entertaining, sleeping, bathing, working and transitional areas, such as hallways. Each chapter explains how the Victorians designed and decorated these spaces, before moving on to their modern interpretations. Inside are plenty of tips, tricks and inspiration for transforming your 19th-century home into a light-filled modern one, ready for the 21st century.

Combining cultural context with advice and inspiration from the homes of interior designers, architects and stylists, Victorian Modern reveals how the history and design of 19th-century homes can influence and inform our modern lifestyles and home decor in fresh and interesting ways.

A journey through its emotional itineraries is unveiled for the very first time by the photographic masterpieces of Massimo Listri.

Villa Albani Torlonia, with its collections, the Italian garden, and the hemicycle of the Kaffeehaus, is a sublime testimony of that particular antiquarian taste which came to the fore in the mid-eighteenth century, that for which Rome became a favorite destination on the Grand Tour. The classicist dream of Cardinal Alessandro Albani (1692–1779), was preserved thanks to the Torlonia family, who purchased the villa in 1866, enlarging the collection and the gardens and restoring the most important cardinal residence of the eighteenth century.

More than 300 images by the great Italian master Massimo Listri recount the history of this extraordinary cultural heritage for the very first time. An immersive journey leads the reader between its collections of ancient masterpieces. Statues, bas-reliefs, and fountains are ensconced between the various buildings and gardens of the villa in a composition of environments, landscapes, and works of art forever waiting to be discovered.

Захоплююча історія однієї з найкрасивіших історичних вілл озера Комо, її виняткової реконструкції та досконалості італійської та французької майстерності.

Вілла Cagni Troubetzkoy розташована на зелених схилах Блевіо, старовинного італійського містечка на пагорбах, звідки відкривається приголомшливий вид на озеро Комо. З яскравою історією, що охоплює понад 175 років, він колись був притулком для російського князя у вигнанні, а сьогодні стоїть як чудово збережений сімейний будинок, уособлюючи розкіш італійських озер.

Паскаль Каньї, нинішній власник, мандрівник, захоплений дизайном і архітектурою, який накопичив безцінний досвід під час тривалих подорожей. Його занурення в різноманітні культури вселило в нього глибоку ясність щодо його бачення відновлення колишньої слави вілли з повагою до архітектурної спадщини Італії, у гармонії з навколишнім середовищем та інтеграції місцевої культури та історії. Під керівництвом кращих італійських майстрів вілла була ретельно відреставрована з використанням традиційних матеріалів, досягнувши ідеального поєднання минулого та сьогодення. Сьогодні він є свідченням збереження спадщини та італійської елегантності; його сади є символом позачасової вишуканості на тлі вічної привабливості та світського достатку озера Комо.

After inheriting a seventeenth-century Tuscan villa, Ned Lambton and his wife, Marina, lovingly restored the estate as a retreat for family and friends. With newly commissioned photographs by Simon Upton, Lambton brings to life the rich history of the villa, its redecoration, its raucous history, and, above all else, the dream of owning and renovating a Tuscan villa.

Located just outside Siena, Italy, Villa Cetinale stands amid vineyards, silver olive groves, and wooded hills that have remained largely untouched since the late seventeenth century, when Cardinal Flavio Chigi, a nephew of Pope Alexander VII, expanded what was a modest farmhouse into the villa we see today.

Cetinale was acquired from the Chigi dynasty in 1978, by the charismatic Lord Antony Lambton, the author’s father, who cultivated the villa’s reputation as one of the most beautiful and glamourous homes in Italy, laying out new gardens and hosting fashionable figures from England (Princess Margaret, Prince Charles, Mick Jagger, Rupert Everett, Tony Blair, and Kate Moss).

The villa has undergone major refurbishment — all without altering the original character of the house—with restoration work carried out by Bolko von Schweinichen, a Florentine architect known for his reverent handling of historic buildings, and interiors by London decorator Camilla Guinness, a lifelong friend of the family.

About the Authors:

Ned Lambton inherited the seventeenth-century Villa Cetinale from his late father and former member of Parliament, Lord Antony Lambton. He lives in London and Tuscany with his wife, Marina Lambton, and their four children. John Pawson, CBE, RDI, is the architect and designer behind such high-profile projects as the West Hollywood Edition and London’s Design Museum. Simon Upton travels the world capturing people and their homes on behalf of major publishing houses and magazines such as World of Interiors, Vogue, Architectural Digest, and Elle Decor.

Історія та мистецтво однієї з найважливіших приміських аристократичних резиденцій XVI століття, однієї з найстаріших та найкрасивіших в Альпах.

Ілюстрований вражаючими зображеннями, що є результатом спеціальної фотокампанії, проведеної Массімо Лістрі, цей том документує архітектуру та багаті художні скарби знаменитої резиденції, яка є єдиним у регіоні Трентіно прикладом приміської вілли періоду Собору середини XVI століття, що характеризується портиком та лоджією, типовою для веронської архітектури того часу. Усередині вілли італійські, фламандські та німецькі художники створили фрескові оздоблення найвищої якості, включаючи цикл із 12 фресок, присвячених перемогам Карла V, ті, що зображують епізоди зі Старого та Нового Завітів, та ті, що зображують 12 місяців року.

Поряд із цими надзвичайними фресками, книга представляє скульптури та меблі, переважно з фламандського та німецького регіонів, а також дерев'яні метопи, розписані гротесками, та чоловічі та жіночі портрети, які можна простежити до фахівців з цього типу декорування, що зазнали впливу гравюрного мистецтва того часу.

Since the origin of the villa culture in ancient times, the term „villa“ has been invested with special magic. Seen formerly as a genteel country estate and companion piece to the city palace, today this type of dwelling is represented more as a refined, noble, free-standing house. The villa is the gleaming diamond of housing construction, the expression of distinguished living style and elevated standard of living. For an architect, the planning or reconstruction of a villa represents the exciting challenge of a new interpretation of a classical building task, guided by their own, special ideas. This volume portrays famous architects as well as exciting works by younger architecture firms. The international selection shows the manifold and intriguing spectrum of contemporary architecture.

Surrounded by a magical flair, villas have been the gleaming diamond of dwelling construction since ancient times. They are particularly characterized by generous proportions, prestige and individuality. Whether in the city or the countryside, villas are the epitome of exclusive living and a distinguished lifestyle around the globe.

For architects and interior designers involved in the new construction or renovation of a villa, it is an exciting challenge to reinterpret this classic building type with own ideas. Furthermore, the implementation of the villa owners’ desires requires innovative thinking and sophisticated solutions. Minimalist or opulent, traditional or extravagant, this selection of international projects presents a wonderful and multifaceted range of design possibilities.

Протягом останніх трьох десятиліть Вінсент Ван Дуйзен став важливою силою в дизайні завдяки своїй виразній архітектурі та спокійним інтер'єрам. Ця книга документує джерело його натхнення та постійну лабораторію: його власні будинки.

Вінсент Ван Дуйзен мав величезний вплив на світ архітектури та дизайну, від вишуканих ешелонів інтер'єрів до надзвичайно успішних колекцій для Zara Home та майже десятирічного креативного директорства Molteni&C. Завдяки своєму економному використанню чистих та тактильних матеріалів, Ван Дуйзен застосовує унікальну стилістичну мову, яка є одночасно монастирською та чуттєвою, брутальною та елегантною, первісною та вишуканою. Його замовлення включали дизайн продуктів для численних міжнародних брендів, а також комерційні та масштабні архітектурні проекти, серед яких елітні резиденції, готель та торговельні приміщення.

Безкомпромісно сучасні та нескінченно винахідливі, резиденції Ван Дуйзен є одночасно його дизайнерськими лабораторіями та високоіндивідуалізованими просторами. Це особливо стосується його власних будинків, предмета цієї дуже особистої книги. Від своєї бази в Бельгії, де Ван Дуйзен створив сучасні простори з багатовікової колишньої нотаріальної контори, до свого Casa M у Португалії, де житлові простори перетинаються між елементарними стінами, Ван Дуйзен створює житлові проекти з бетону, натурального каменю, дерева та світла.

У співпраці з фотографом Франсуа Алардом Ван Дуйзен представляє справді особисте бачення власної практики та точки зору, де він стає архітектурою, а вона стає ним.

Про авторів:

Вінсент Ван Дуйзен — архітектор, що отримав нагороди та мешкає в Антверпені, Бельгія, з поточними проектами по всьому світу. Ван Дуйзен працював з низкою відомих брендів і наразі є креативним директором Molteni&C. У 2022 році він розпочав співпрацю із Zara Home.

Франсуа Алар регулярно пише статті для American Vogue, T Magazine та Cabana, серед інших. Його робота для цих видань зробила його найпліднішим та найвідомішим фотографом інтер'єрів та архітектури нашого часу.

The first book on the interiors of sought-after architect Vincenzo De Cotiis collects more than a decade of the atelier’s projects.

Milan-based architect and artist Vincenzo De Cotiis' frequent appearances on Architectural Digest’s AD100 lists attest to his studio’s international renown.  Originally known for interiors in which he strips centuries-old architecture of any later embellishments, creating a conversation between historic settings and his emphatically contemporary design, De Cotiis has since developed a vocabulary of rare stones and polished metals to create striking minimalist interiors for the world’s tastemakers. Following in the footsteps of Italian maestros like Gio Ponti and Carlo Scarpa, De Cotiis works at the nexus of architecture, interiors, and furniture design, prizing top-level craftsmanship above all else. His creations are born out of an assembly of recovered materials and reflective, futuristic surfaces.

Images by photographer Martin Morrell highlight the quiet luxury of nine of De Cotiis’s meditative spaces. An additional section includes earlier projects, sketches, and plans for each of the featured interior projects. Essays by Sarah Medford and Adrian Madlener detail De Cotiis’s references, inspiration, and dialogue with his clients, as well as his material sourcing and research. This book is the only publication on his interior projects to date, following on the heels of Vincenzo De Cotiis: Works, a collection of the studio’s functional sculptures.

About the Authors:

Vincenzo De Cotiis was born in 1958 in Gonzaga, Italy. He studied architecture at the Politecnico di Milano and founded his studio in Milan where he lives and works. Sarah Medford is Contributing Editor, Design, Culture & Lifestyle, WSJ Magazine and Off Duty. Adrian Madlener is a New York–based writer and curator exploring craft-led experimentation and sustainability in art, architecture, and design.

This book serves as a design overview and visual manifesto of Virgile + Partners, one of the world's leading interior design agencies.

Specializing in retail and hotel design, Virgile + Partners is a key global player with a wide scope of international projects, from luxury retail, restaurants, and hotel interiors to department stores and malls. The agency has works across the United States, India, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, the Middle East, China, and Russia, as well as extensive work throughout Europe and the UK.

Virgile + Partners' approach to global design is to decode and absorb various cultures, avoiding classic reinterpretations by presenting an unexpected twist to traditions and conventions. As a result, the diversity between each project avoids a uniform response and instead sparks a desire to communicate the individuality of each brand's vision, as well as to bring their values to life.

The book's narrative structure gives a clear insight into the essence of the work shown. It offers a glimpse into the making-of process and the backstage thinking that inspired the ideas, not just the aesthetic vocabulary, that led to the final design outcome.

Sophisticated interior decoration and stunning landscapes accompany the architecture, creating a harmonious sense of place.

Visions of Home is an invaluable resource for those who enjoy the warmth and charm of traditional architecture.
