Book Description
An insider’s tour of the most creative and inspiring rooms belonging to tastemakers—artists, interior designers, craftspeople, collectors, and aristocrats—in Italy today. Italy has been a source of inspiration for generations of artists and lovers of beauty. In this book, Italians Oberto Gili and Marella Caracciolo Chia take us around the country and into the homes of some of its most stylish habitués. From rural estates in Tuscany and spectacular seaside villas to an eighteenth-century palace in Puglia and city residences in Turin, Milan, Venice, Rome, and Naples, the properties reveal the unique personal visions of the owners and the inescapable appeal of Italian style. The diversity of places echoes the wide range of geographical contexts. Each interior acts as a source of surprise and an impetus for creativity, reflecting the individual tastes and talents of those who live and have lived there—designer Carlo Mollino, couturier Stephan Janson, art and literary scholar Mario Praz, and artists Sandro Chia and Alessandro Twombly. In addition to the houses of artists and craftspeople, rooms of visionary interior designers, such as Camilla Guinness, Roberto Peregalli, and Laura Sartori Rimini, are also included. This book—an intimate glimpse into some of the most beautiful and inaccessible dwellings in Italy today—is perfect for aesthetically minded readers with an interest in interior design, Italy, and the art of fine living.

Book Description
Eclectic and quirky, contemporary and traditional, Creative Spaces introduces you to twenty individual and inspiring homes. From London and Milan to New York, we visit the houses, apartments, and studios of people who all inhabit very different creative worlds. Amongst others, we glimpse inside the contemporary town-house of renowned fashion designer Betty Jackson, see the family home of Gisela Garcia-Escuela, one of the leading lights behind the Anthropologie stores, and are given a tour of the combined studio-archive-home of Italian designer Barnaba Fornasetti. Divided into chapters on Individual Eclecticism, Art-Loving Modernists, Living with Pattern and Color, Modern Industrialist, Carefully Curated Purists, and The Archivists, their very titles give an inkling of the different styles and treasures to be found within the four walls of each location. The home owners range from well-known names from the worlds of art, design, and fashion, to private individuals, and range from a small London apartment to a farmhouse in upstate New York, but all have one thing in common—their living spaces are inspired and inspiring, unique, individual, personal, and never, ever run of the mill.

Book Description
A celebration of the innovative, artisanal, and sustainable living exemplified by contemporary Dutch interiors. With a carefully curated collection of interiors, including historic canal houses, restored farms, and green homes, belonging to interior designers, product designers, architects, and artists, this book showcases creative and resourceful living. These properties have been created or renovated and brought into the twenty-first century with typical Dutch style and sensibility—environmentally friendly, imaginative uses of space filled with color and charm and never to be taken too seriously. Each home in the book reflects the personality and spirit of the people who inhabit it. From furniture designer Valentin Loellman’s handcrafted interiors in a traditional worker’s cottage on the Maas river to fiber artist Claudy Jongstra’s farmhouse in Friesland where indigo dye plants grow in the biodynamic garden, Coming Home illustrates fun ideas and easy ways to incorporate individual style into your surroundings. Whether it’s the traditional “lowlands” aesthetic of combining old and new, faded and inviting, into a casual chic or a quirky reinvention of a space that reveals a touch of eccentricity, this book illustrates why the Netherlands is truly loved by so many and can be an inspiration to us all.

Book Description
Viewed from the streets, Paris is where true inspiration lies. But stepping inside--where real Parisians live, work, and create--makes the heart beat stronger. For the past decade, French online phenomenon My Little Paris has divulged the city's best-kept secrets in fashion, interiors, and lifestyle to some four million subscribers. Now, this creative young team takes us inside thirty-four of their own homes and creative spaces, sharing Paris's freshest interior inspiration. In a relaxed apartment on the edge of the Canal Saint-Martin, an aquamarine accent wall complements a vintage fridge and matching coffee mugs--setting the tone with the vibrant hue. Birdcages, vinyl records, and colorful kimonos mingle harmoniously with vintage photographs, dazzling African wax cushions, and contemporary art. The view from a tiny sixth-floor walk-up reveals slate rooftops and open sky, while inside, in fashion-showroom style, a pair of silver Margiela designer boots, a plush orange bomber jacket, and a hot pink visor pepper the furniture. The My Little Paris workspace in an old carousel factory in Montmartre includes a "dream room," green wall, and rooftop terrace overlooking Sacré-Coeur. This insider's tour of Paris is made possible only through the abracadabra magic of the team behind Paris's most popular lifestyle start-up. Their interiors--each sparkling with Parisian style--provide home inspiration and are rich with ideas for sparking creativity.
