This captivating book, the second in a series christened A 21st
Century Palace, offers readers a transporting virtual tour through
one exceptionally dazzling palace. In this volume, we find
ourselves in Jerusalem. Few places on Earth have exuded more
mystery and power than this deified ancient city. And even fewer
designers possess the worldliness and talent to bring that mystery
and power into the third dimension in ways that both consider its
many millennia of astonishing history and also telegraph a
modernity as thoroughly fresh and modern as the current moment.
"That Bradfield takes breathtaking, albeit educated, risks that
would daunt another designer is a testament to his confidence and
maturity," says the Parisian gallerist Jean-Gabriel Mitterand. "It
is unbelievably audacious to pair a precious, yet decorative,
Claude Lalanne chandelier with a Peter Kogler table that utilises
computer technology to create what is really state-of-the-art
functional sculpture," notes Mitterand of one such daring
juxtaposition. "They were not created in the same spirit, but in
the end Geoffrey intuitively understood there was something
essentially baroque about both of them. After decades of observing
Bradfield championing artists such as the Lalannes prior to their
becoming voraciously collected by wealthy purveyors of taste," says
Mitterand, "His roster of clients has become more and more
international, and he commands more and more authority." Which is
why Bradfield finds himself now at the apex of his career. In his
Foreword to this book, the Honorable John L. Loeb, former American
Ambassador to Denmark, declares "Bradfield's rare talent has
propelled him into the upper echelon of design - and places him
amongst the few designers working in the world today who are truly
global."
