Inside Flap Copy

How will we perceive our homes in the decade ahead? In Rooms by Design, the top architects and decorators of Europe and the United States explore a warm, referential style for our environments, blending elegance, with, romance and hospitality. It is a vision of relaxed entertaining, of easy times with family and friends, yet a vision flexible enough to accommodate the pleasures of formality and the luxury of reflective solitude.Rooms by Design provides a multitude of design opportunities for every room in the house - whether that house is an urban one-room apartment or a vast and airy country home. The unifying concept is how dwellings manifest our private and public selves.In this book, Gae Aulenti offers us an understated, yet aristocratic interpretation of a turn-of-the-century Milan salone. Artist Keith Haring devises a whimsical riot of color in his New York City playrooms-for-grown-ups. Andrée Putman streamlines a former Paris factory for the Art Deco-filled space she calls home. Other architects, decorators, and artists whose work appears here are Williams Cohen, Eric Jacobson, Robert Venturi, Dethleff Grüneke, and others. Together, they illustrate the design spectrum from traditional to contemporary to avant-garde. The photographers of these interiors are among the most famous in their field worldwide.Rooms by Design is unique on the design shelf. It is an idea book that collects the most winning developments of our time and translates them into accessible, attractive options for those of us seeing to create surroundings an individual as ourselves. This volume depicts a gentle art of everyday living that reflects us, nourishes our spirit, and redefines our very notions of home.188 photographs in full color.
