内容简介 A revealing look at the intimate living spaces of key contemporary designers.What should "home" look like today? Here we discover how influential designers work, relax, and are inspired by their personal and professional surroundings. And there are plenty of surprises, from Harry Allen's converted mortuary in Manhattan to the Bouroullec brothers' carpenter's workshop in a Parisian suburb.
This diverse group of designers—from America, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, and the UK—are among those who lead and shape our every design decision, from the chairs we sit on to the hotel rooms we sleep in.
The philosophies of the featured designers are revealed through the pertinent question-and-answer section: they share their ideas on design, personal space, inspirations, work methods, and how we live now and may be living in the future.
With special photography by Grant Scott, this book provides a unique opportunity for all those professionally involved in or just passionate about design to discover what the world's leading shapers of taste choose for themselves in creating their own homes. 218 color illustrations.
Featuring work by Alberto Alessi, Harry Allen, Azumis, Yves Behar, The Bouroullec Brothers, Boym, Piero Busnelli, The Campana Brothers, Matali Crasset, Robin Day, Droog, Gitta Gschwendtner, Martí Guixé, Sam Hecht, Matthew Hilton, Joseph Holtzman, Enzo Mari, David Mellor, Jay Osgerby, Dieter Rams, Karim Rashid, Jerszy Seymour, Ali Tayar, Terence Woodgate.

编辑推荐 From Publishers Weekly This luxurious and artfully photographed collection of 24 of the world's top designers' homes offers an intimate look at their living spaces and how their attitudes toward style and life are expressed in their designs. Opening with Alberto Alessi's dilapidated Italian villa that is very much a work-in-progress, Scott and Scott-Jeffries travel to New York, Paris, Sao Paulo and all points between to offer glimpses of how the designers work and relax. Each profile opens with a short resume and a quote from the designer before Scott walks the reader through the home. To-the-point captions and commentary offer historical information on key pieces or their significance to the owner. The photographs are not meant to show the entirety of the home, rather, they showcase key areas such as Joseph Holtzman's cozy and artfully arranged bedroom and Matali Crasset's cluttered workspace, giving a glimpse into the designers' personalities. There are a few shots of conversation pieces such as the Campana brothers' chair composed of teddy bears and Piero Busnelli's stunning collection of over 200 animals he's hunted, but the book's strength is the way it enables the reader to get a feel for the featured homes. It concludes with a pointed Q&A section with each designer, allowing them to expound on matters of style and design.
