Chris Mitchell and Pilar Guzman are design obsessives who both want
the same thing: rooms that are spare yet warm, layered yet clean,
current yet timeless. Rooms that never forget the real humans -
with all their needs, hopes, emotions, aspirations, and even spills
- who live in these spaces. Over the course of six ever more
ambitious home renovations, they've cracked the code on how to
achieve this. It's a simple formula, one that lies in mixing modern
design with timeworn materials - in particular, white oak, brass,
and bridle leather, all three of which become richer, mellower, and
burnished with patina as they age. Add a few essential lessons
(Decorating by Mood, Borrowing from the Best) and a nine-point
manifesto that covers everything from lighting (rooms should feel
like lanterns at night), to the use of black as an accent, to the
intention that every space should serve multiple purposes, and the
result is Patina Modern, a uniquely inspiring and practical design
guide. The book leads by example, as the authors reveal in
room-by-room detail the full evolution of their homes, including a
Brooklyn brownstone and two classic Hamptons "cottages." Along the
way, we come to not only understand just how they see and think but
also learn what they've learned, getting an education in colour,
proportion, paint, and the world of modern furniture design, for
which the authors have a special passion. Tools, principles, and
the power of designing around the things you love - this is the
gift of Patina Modern, showing just how to put it all together to
create your own beautiful spaces.
