З нетерпінням очікувана перша монографія, присвячена п’ятдесятиріччю кар’єри легендарного декоратора Маріо Буатти. Під впливом стриманої елегантності Colefax і Fowler і лідера пишного американського декору, Sister Parish, Буатта переосмислив стиль англійського заміського будинку в США для таких клієнтів, як Генрі Форд II, Барбара Уолтерс, Малкольм Форбс і Мерайя Кері, а також для Blair House, гостьових номерів президента. Дизайнер відомий своїми розкішними кімнатами, які прикрашені вишуканим антикваріатом, кондитерськими шторами та вишуканими кольорами, створюючи атмосферу життєвої розкоші. Це розкішно ілюстроване дослідження — наповнене зображеннями, зробленими для провідних журналів про притулки, а також багатьма неопублікованими фотографіями з власного архіву дизайнера — уважно стежить за кар’єрою Буатти, яка добре задокументована, від його професійного початку в 1950-х роках, працюючи в універмазі B. Altman & Co. і Elisabeth Draper, Inc., до його останніх проектів, серед яких є деякі з найкращих резиденцій країни. Буатта ділиться ексклюзивним баченням свого процесу, власними правилами декорування та особистими історіями своїх пригод на цьому шляху.

It documents in great detail the technical principles and methods of building with these materials, examines their properties, the sizes and forms of bricks and stones, the bonds, and the behaviour of stone and brickwork under stress. In addition, full information is provided on the requirements with respect to heat, damp, sound-proofing and fire protection, and the most recent standards and norms are listed. Finally, a large number of built examples are presented, complete with plans and details, all of which illustrate the many applications of stone and brickwork in contemporary construction.

More than any other element of interior design, color sets the mood of a room. Once the palette is limited to a single color, the effect can be dramatic and powerful or sublime. Monochrome features projects by more than twenty internationally known interior designers who have created rooms based around one color. Included are a blue bedroom by Vicente Wolf, a silver dining room for Baccarat by Philippe Starck, an ivory loft apartment by Lee Mindel of Shelton Mindel, and a purple bedroom by Benjamin Noriega. Neutral shades - grays, taupes, and beiges - and crisp, contemporary whites are featured in projects by M Group, Anthony Todd, Noel Jeffrey, and Michael Gabellini.

John Saladino, who is renowned for his cool, subtle tones, has written an introductory text. He touches on the different approaches to color over time and describes the effects created by using a single color in different textures and patterns of fabric and finishes.
