Kelly Wearstler, one of the most irreverent and successful
designers working today, continues to push boundaries with her
inventive and opulent residential and commercial interiors.
Celebrated for pioneering and provocative interiors that guide
global trends, Kelly Wearstler is known for her iconic designs of
residences and boutique hotels. Pairing an exploration of
materiality, color, and form with an intuitive juxtaposition of
contemporary, vintage, architectural, and organic sensibilities,
she has defined an aesthetic that is all her own. With a social
media following that has grown to exceed two million and expansion
into her own lines of furniture, lighting, and decor, hers is one
of the most distinctive voices in the interiors world. Here, in her
first new book in four years, Wearstler takes a decidedly bold and
minimalist approach to presenting her recent work, profiling seven
of her latest and most striking residential and hospitality designs
with immersive full-page photography and extraordinary detail.
Wearstler’s unique eye and decisive touch are visible throughout,
from a sleek and monochromatic home in Venice Beach to a richly
textured beach house in Malibu and the dynamic new Proper hotels in
Santa Monica and Austin, Texas. Insightful text from Dan Rubinstein
guides readers through each space and the tactile furniture and
materials that define the mood of each project. Full of ideas, with
beautiful images of many never-before-photographed interiors, this
book is a must-have resource for other designers and homeowners
looking for elegant design inspiration.
This Is Not a House takes a close look at spaces that reformulate
the idea of what "home" means, in innovative houses in cities
around the globe. This Is Not a House showcases recent projects
that represent the vanguard of architects creating innovative
spaces for living in the twenty-first century. Dan Rubinstein and
the editors of the Amsterdam-based magazine have selected projects
on five continents that will shape how we think of domestic life
for a long time to come. Where the great experimenters of the last
century were stripping away ornamentation and creating free-flowing
spaces for the first time, today's pioneers are researching the
potential of new materials and techniques to push the boundaries of
environmental sustainability, as well as creating new forms and
bold, sophisticated explorations in the adaptive reuse of spaces
originally designed for any number of other purposes. This Is Not a
House presents the latest built residential projects by such design
luminaries as Sou Fujimoto, Plasma Studio, and Michael Maltzan, as
well as emerging ones such as Johan Selbing, among others, in an
array of locations across the globe, including New York, London,
Los Angeles, and Tokyo.
For the past twenty years, New York-based design gallery R &
Company has been a pioneer in discovering, curating, archiving, and
presenting rare, exceptional, and iconic works to individuals and
institutions. Through their groundbreaking exhibitions and
publications, the gallery has been at the forefront of the
collectible design movement. Published on the occasion of the R
& Company's twentieth anniversary, this book offers four new
critical perspectives on the designers, themes, and emerging trends
R & Company has uncovered, re-discovered, and elevated,
including: the emergence of a market for Brazilian design; the
championing of un- heralded American midcentury masters; the
fostering of a craft-forward contemporary design program; and the
gallery's passion for so-called "difficult" design. Unfolding
through essays from leading writers on art, design, and craft, and
illustrated by hundreds of archival, new, and behind-the-scenes
gallery images, interior photos of the collectors' homes, and
designers' studios, it is a dynamic overview of the design market's
explosive past two decades, and its vibrant future.
The humble act of putting one foot in front of the other transcends age, geography, culture and class, and is one of the most economical and environmentally responsible modes of transit. Yet with our modern fixation on speed, this healthy pedestrian activity has been largely left behind. At a personal and professional crossroads, writer, editor and obsessive walker Dan Rubinstein travelled throughout the UK, the US and Canada to walk with people who saw the act not only as a form of transportation and recreation, but also as a path to a better world.
