Scheidegger und Spiess AG, Verlag Charlotte Perriand: Complete Works 1903-1940,
Book SynopsisCharlotte Perriand (1903-1999) is undoubtedly one of the most significant figures in 20th-century interior design. Vintage pieces of her furniture designs fetch millions in auctions. Together with Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret she created a number of classics, such as the chaise-longue LC4. From the 1930s, she sought not only to change design but to initiate social change; her main goal as a designer, was to develop affordable, functional, and appealing furniture for the masses. Perriand's life and work has been widely acknowledged, but thus far there has never been a comprehensive monograph covering all aspects of her work. Charlotte Perriand: Complete Works Volume 1 is a valuable resource on this key figure of 20th-century interior design. Each of the three lavishly illustrated volumes is completed by annotations, index, and bibliography. The initial volume looks at the years of collaboration with Le Corbusier and her role as a precursor in the use of tubular steel in interior design. It also documents her work in photography and her special interest in pre-fabricated residential architecture.

Scheidegger und Spiess AG, Verlag Charlotte Perriand: Complete Works 1955-1968,
Book SynopsisCharlotte Perriand is one of the foremost figures in twentieth-century interior design. Together with her collaborators Pierre Jeanneret and Le Corbusier, she created many pieces of furniture we now consider classics, including the instantly recognisable LC4 chaise. Her pioneering work with metal was particularly instrumental in paving the way for the machine-age aesthetic popular throughout the 1920s and '30s. The third volume in a four-part series, this lavish book covers the years between 1956 and 1968. During this period, Perriand established a relationship with the Galerie Steph Simon, which exhibited and published some of her most iconic work, as well as that of renowned contemporaries Serge Mouille, Georges Jouve, and Jean Prouve. Perriand also completed several high-profile projects throughout the 1960s, most of which have been published here for the first time. These include comprehensive designs for Air France's offices around the world and the renovation of the Palais des Nations, where many of her designs for furniture and the assembly halls she decorated remain in use and relatively unchanged to this day. This new volume also documents her intimate, yet little known, links to Brazil. Covering key moments in Perriand's personal life, as well as the iconic styles she developed, this third volume in the series comes complete with annotations and a bibliography for further research.

Beta-Plus Seeking Sanctuary: Private Residences for True
Book SynopsisAccording to New York based interior designer, life coach and meditation teacher Joshua Smith, “When your home is your sanctuary, there’s a big exhale when you walk through that front door. It nourishes your spirit, inspires your mind, and enhances your connection to yourself, your loved ones and the divine, however you might define that” (in Homes & Gardens, January 2023). For Shelby Deering, designer of the tranquil spaces of The Well (with locations in New York City, Washington, Miami, Costa Rica and Mexico), "Over the last few years, our homes have become more important than ever. Throughout the pandemic, we saw them function as offices, gyms, schools, restaurants — and, of course, our own little corners of the world where we were able to find relief from daily pressures and anxiety. Because of this shift, it’s no wonder that people have made efforts to refresh their living quarters to focus more on health, wellness and self-care. After all, when the environment around you feels like a calming refuge, those peaceful vibes can directly impact how you feel.” The 15 private residences presented in this beautiful book can all be called “sanctuaries” because they all seek to support and protect the well-being of their owners, families and guests. Everyone needs a happy place, a space to relax, unwind, and let the worries of everyday life melt away. Some may dream of white-sand beaches, while others may prefer cozy mountain chalets, or a meditative, decluttered wabi sabi interior in a cosmopolitan setting. Whether in Brazil, Sweden, Mexico, Crete, St. Barts, Spain or in Belgium - all over the world, people are searching for the ultimate comfort, safety and happiness in their own cocoon, their own protective environment.

Studioilse, the award-winning design studio founded by Ilse Crawford, bridges the worlds of interior design, architecture, and product design with the philosophy of putting the human being at the center. Fascinated by what drives us and makes us feel alive, Crawford says: When I look at making spaces, I don’t just look at the visual. I’m much more interested in the sensory thing, in thinking about it from the human context, the primal perspective, the thing that touches you. Featuring Studioilse’s work to date, from private residences to hotels, restaurants, and retail projects, this book illustrates the effectiveness of design grounded in human needs and desires. Layering materials and textures, combined with her understanding of human behavior, Crawford’s designs are sensual Trade Review"Ilse Crawford is beloved for her Nordic form-and-function sensibility matched with an irreverent eye…Her firm, Studioilse, strongly embraces primary colors, Danish modernism, and a folkloric style that celebrates whimsy and simplicity at once. Her projects, ranging from private homes to esteemed commercial spaces, incorporate her respect for historical integrity and an urgency for livability…” –Vogue“Must-Have Coffee Table Book. Ilse Crawford, founder of the London-based design firm Studioilse, defines her philosophy of warm, "human-centric" interiors in a new book that displays her own home as well as various commercial spaces that she and her team have created. With an emphasis on comfort and practicality, she demonstrates how to foster a more holistic life through well-planned environments.” –Harpers Bazaar “Fall’s must-have coffee-table tome stars British design icon Ilse Crawford.

Unlike most designer editions, the images in this book aren’t always large scale; many have the intimacy of vintage snapshots or personal albums. Her fans, of course, will revel in the requisite visual feast of her portfolio…Given to pronouncements both profound and particular, Crawford is a breed apart: an enigmatic talent and forward-thinking intellectual with humor and heart.” –Lonny Magazine “A Frame for Life showcases her firm’s powerful body of work.” –Architectural Digest“Renowned designer and style expert Ilse Crawford showcases her body of influential, holistic work for the first time, articulating her groundbreaking philosophies for design and living.

It’s uplifting and inspiring—and the book shows examples of her international work, for offices, hotels, residences and ateliers…the book has poetic, quirky, quiet, and compelling moments and should be in the library of a design firms for its point of view. A terrific reference, a cause for vivid discussion and colloquium.” –The Style Saloniste

Pimpernel Press Ltd On the Fringe: A Life in Decorating
Book SynopsisIf John Fowler was – in the words of the late Duchess of Devonshire – the Prince of Decorators, and Nancy Lancaster undoubted doyenne of English country house style, Imogen Taylor was their crown princess. She joined Colefax and Fowler in 1949 and was for many years John Fowler’s trusted assistant. John – and Nancy – had total faith in Imogen’s ‘perfect taste’, and when John retired in 1971 he passed on to her all his clients – who ranged from HM The Queen, through duchesses and film stars, to ladies of the night. From this time until she retired in 1999 she was, along with Tom Parr, the firm’s principal decorator. Over the years she extended the clientele she had inherited from John and developed her own subtle, comfortable and charming version of English country house style. In this unique combination of social history and style bible, Imogen Taylor brings a sharp eye and ready wit not only to decorating style but also to the social history of the latter part of the twentieth century. Here you will learn about how fabric walling was done, how the famous ‘twelve different whites’ were applied, how to oil gild, how the passementerie was made for Buckingham Palace and Windsor, about Bessarabian carpets and trompe l’oeil painting and Nancy Lancaster’s broderie anglaise lamp shades, ‘like a child’s skirt or a ball dress’. You will also find the Duchess of Windsor dismissing the Duke (‘David, you’re not needed − go and buy some brushes or something’), Dolly Rothschild’s iron bed (‘like a school or hospital bedstead’), Harry Hyams’ reluctance to sign cheques (‘It’s like spilling my own blood!’), John Fowler in a tantrum yelling at the Duchess of Cornwall (she was a girl assistant at the time, not a client), Imogen being summoned to Howletts because ‘a young Siberian tiger, who had been in bed with Aspinall and his wife, had ripped down the silk hangings on the inside of their canopy bed.’ Trade Review"Forget taupe - her colourful, Mitford-esque romp through the great houses of Britain and North America gives great insight into her eye for detail and passion for craftsmanship, and tells the tale of friendships built over a lifetime of decorating. Her wit, charm and amusing observations flow through the book." * House and Garden *“As sharp as an upholsterer's tack, Miss Taylor worked at Colefax for 50 years and offers a rare account of a lost world...As well as unflagging apercus, [she] gives a warm account of the craftspeople she worked with, many of whose intricate trades are now lost. Here is a woman with a great appetite for life." -- Philippa Stockley * Country Life *" . . . the reader gets a crash course in the technicalities of fabric walling, oil gilding and designing passementerie for Buckingham Palace. Titbits about clients make On the Fringe a lively read, an autobiography well up to this newish publisher's high standards." * World of Interiors *"This charming illustrated memoir shows a designer's inventiveness, but is also a social history with delightful apercus about working with royalty, people of discernment and their beautiful things." * The Lady *

In these pages, the iconic fashion designer takes readers on a tour of “the places, the things, and the people” that have influenced him…including his private homes (!).

Beta-Plus Michael del Piero: Traveled and Textural
Book SynopsisInteriors designed by Michael Del Piero are full of delightful contradictions. She designs minimalist rooms rich with historical character, meticulously edited gallery-like spaces that still have the comforting warmth of home, and breezy abodes with crisp architectural details that feel tailored rather than severe. But the fact that her projects, sprinkled across the United States, come off as reassuringly familiar yet entirely fresh, as they blend elements of American and European style, is a direct result of her background. The designer was born and raised in Chicago. She worked for decades as a business coach, advising executives at Fortune 500 companies on how to further their goals, inspire their people and energise their operations. At the same time, she dove head-first into design, almost without realising it. Thrilled by the hunt for distinctive antiques, unusual objects and compelling art, she loved few things more than combing auction houses and flea markets for unexpected finds. Enjoying herself too much to go back to corporate consulting, Del Piero took on the mantle of antiques dealer, and began making regular buying trips to Europe and hosting biannual sales, composing a different interior design scheme in a different house each time. Every sale was more successful than the last, but it didn’t take long for some of her customers to see the larger picture: the objects Del Piero brought back were beautiful, but it was the way she used them to create cohesive, compelling interiors that was the real attraction. One of those customers eventually asked Del Piero to design her home. She spent the next year designing every aspect of the client’s Chicago house while learning how to manage a construction site. When it was finished, the home was published and widely lauded, and Del Piero’s interior design firm was off and running. She formally established her studio in 2007. Since then, the designer’s work has been rooted in her early travels and experiences, and reflects her natural curiosity and embrace of decorative arts from different cultures and periods. As her studio has grown, the scale of her projects has grown as well, creating more opportunities to expand her creative vision. Today, she embraces an increasingly holistic approach to design as her projects move beyond interior design to architecture. She is conceiving new-construction houses built from the ground up, including an oceanfront house in Florida and a multibuilding compound on the site of an old hunting lodge in Westchester, New York, as well as interiors for a sleek new modernist house in Amagansett, a stately Upper East Side apartment in Manhattan and the overhaul of a historic greystone on Chicago’s Gold Coast. Some projects appear more polished than others, but all feature overlapping elements that might seem incongruous in less skilled hands: refinement mixed with rusticity, artful composition without pretension and exacting details that nevertheless contribute to an inviting sense of calm.

Rizzoli International Publications Jake Arnold
Book SynopsisThe first book from a rising superstar of the interior design world, whose signature combination of warmth and luxury has earned him a celebrity clientele and a place on the AD100 list.Trade Review"The young British-born, Los Angeles–based designer JAKE ARNOLD is known for emotionally resonant interiors. So it makes sense that the chapters of this book, his first, published by Rizzoli, are named for vibes, including “Immersive” and “Optimism.” Whatever the mood, he favors soft-looking rich surfaces and a relatively neutral palette that sometimes includes a shot of millennial pink, as in a cement bathtub for a contemporary house in Benedict Canyon. (He loves sculptural tubs, as well as Calacatta marble.) Photographer Michael P. H. Clifford captures Arnold’s clever decor juxtapositions in all nine homes showcased here, such as custom stone tables providing a contemporary counterpoint to an antique rug in a Hancock Park mock-tudor. At the end of each chapter, Arnold takes us inside his process with a sidebar including the mood boards and explaining his decision making along the way. Reading the recipe makes the result all the tastier." —1stDibs"The mix of rich textiles, plastered walls and natural materials have become a go-to design move these days, but L.A.-based Brit Jake Arnold is a big part of why the blend became so popular. The young designer’s projects for famous clients like Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, Aaron Paul and Katy Perry all possess a soulful presence, something explored in Arnold’s first book, Redefining Comfort. Inside, he explores nine projects, from a 1920s Spanish revival home renovation in Brentwood to a ground-up estate in Florida, showcasing the designer’s talent for blending elegance with comfort effortlessly." —MODERN LUXURY INTERIORS"John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, Rashida Jones, Whitney Cummings and Zendaya all have been captivated by British designer Jake Arnold’s sophisticated version of cozy. Weaving together natural materials, warm colors and comfortable furnishings, he creates spaces that are inviting, chic and relaxing. “When you live in places where you’re surrounded by brightness, you need a home that feels like a respite.” Arnold’s interiors, seen in his new book Redefining Comfort (Rizzoli), are those spaces." —THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER"British designer Jake Arnold has made a name for himself in the States with his signature style that mixes English sensibility with the relaxed California lifestyle. In his first book, Arnold gives a inside look into his own design philosophy, taking readers into nine homes that blend elegance and chic minimalism." —VERANDA"The first book from pioneering young British designer Jake Arnold shares 9 projects — from sprawling estates in California to seaside homes in Florida." —HOUSE & HOME"In his first book, Arnold compiles nine projects, each representing a key element of his personal design philosophy. Unlike many books, which showcase only the finished project, the designer takes readers back to the start of each process, mixing in sketches, swatches, and inspirations alongside the realized interiors." —CULTURED"Jake Arnold didn’t let a lack of formal design training stop him from starting his own design studio in 2020. After designing homes for stars like Aaron Paul, Rashida Jones, Katy Perry and John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, the English-born designer is publishing his first book, Jake Arnold:Redefining Comfort (Rizzoli), out this September. “In terms of clients, my dream scenario is always a high level of collaboration,” explains the designer. “I love when clients come with ideas but are also interested in exploring and expanding on those ideas together. I’m really drawn to mixing vintage and traditional with contemporary and modern elements to create an environment that feels lived-in and timeless.” —DuJour"If you haven’t seen British interior designer Jake Arnold’s work—which includes his recent collab with Crate & Barrel—then you’re in for a real treat. In this stunning book, (his first!) Arnold brings readers into nine home projects that embody his elegant mix of California cool with a drop of old- world British style. The result is a visual feast for the eyes that is pure delight." —Serendipity"British-born, Los Angeles–based AD100 designer Jake Arnold imbues all his spaces with warmth and intrigue, and we see it through the motley, lively details he incorporates. These delights include elements like a 1930s Adolf Loos light fixture in the breakfast nook of a Paul Williams domicile in Brentwood and a sculptural dining table that pops against Fortuny drapery in a 1940s ranch in Coldwater Canyon. Each chapter in Redefining Comfort closes with a deeper look into Arnold’s contemplative, research-driven design process." —ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST
