Description
The 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. In just a few years, the pioneering young British designer Jake Arnold has become one of the most influential names in American interiors, building a huge following by creating tasteful, modern environments that transcend time and trends. Integrating the traditions of his English upbringing and the relaxed luxury of contemporary California lifestyle, Arnold s signature sensibility is a warm minimalism that is simultaneously chic and serene. With Redefining Comfort, his first book, Arnold shares nine fully realized projects from sprawling estates in California to seaside homes in Florida and Connecticut whose interiors reflect the seductive combination of elegance, tactility, and pleasure. Unique in his determination to lift the curtain on process, Arnold ties each project to a key value of his design philosophy touchpoints that aim to answer the question of how we define comfort in each of these homes which he explores in depth between each chapter. With sketches, plans, material swatches, and favorite resources alongside stunning photographs of the interiors themselves, this is at once a sumptuous survey of one of the most in-demand superstar designers working today and a refreshingly accessible reference for contemporary interior inspiration.
