Чудове святкування найвідомішої в Америці компанії з ручного розпису шпалер, якою володіє сім’я протягом 125 років, з десятками кімнат від найкращих сучасних дизайнерів інтер’єру.

Історія Gracie шпалери, заснованої в 1898 році і досі належать сім'ї в шостому поколінні, є однією з великих нерозказаних історій американського дизайну інтер'єру. Найбільш відомі своїми вишукано деталізованими дизайнами, папери Gracie були встановлені в Білому домі та багатьох найвідоміших будинках Америки. Вони є популярним ресурсом для дизайнерів інтер’єру, зокрема Mark Sikes, Summer Thornton, Ellie Cullman, Brooke Giannetti, Suzanne Kasler, Michael S. Smith, Alexa Hampton, Alex Papachristidis, та Amanda Lindroth, а Грейсі можна знайти в будинках знаменитостей, зокрема Різ Уізерспун, Дженніфер Еністон і Кемерон Діаз.

Цей том, що містить сотні кольорових фотографій сучасних кімнат, зроблених провідними дизайнерами інтер’єру, демонструє не лише діапазон самих паперів — від красивих квітів і птахів до панорамних пейзажів американських народних сцен і французьких пасторальних схилів пагорбів до мисливських і морських сцен — але й образні способи їх використання для створення справді транспортних просторів. Дизайни в будь-яких кольорах, які можна уявити, від металевих до соковито-зелених і кобальтово-синіх до ефектних червоних і чорних, показують, що з Gracie будь-яка кімната в домі може стати справжнім витвором мистецтва на замовлення.

Вишукані виробничі деталі на цьому тому, включаючи 4-кольорові друковані краї сторінок і дизайн обкладинки, спеціально намальований Грейсі ексклюзивно для книги, зроблять цей подарунок обов’язковим для кожного шанувальника дизайну інтер’єру.

Sir William Chambers (1722–96) was a Swedish-British architect with an unusual track record. He designed imaginative castle buildings and luxurious interiors as well as simple and rational utilitarian architecture. After growing up in Sweden, he worked mostly in England, where he became a favorite of King George III. But throughout his life he emphasized his Swedish background and also designed buildings in Sweden. A Treatise on Civil Architecture is a handbook in architecture, where Chambers wanted to explain the basics of the art of building in a pedagogical way. Even today it serves as an excellent guide to the secrets of classical architecture with concise texts and beautiful plates with both details and overviews of different building types and their functions.
