Told in his refreshing personable style and accompanied by rich visuals, The Layered Interior is a celebration of the design elements that give a home character such as vintage and contemporary furniture and lighting, artworks, ornaments, and accents thoughtfully combined with colour and pattern from the lush feel of a burgundy velvet chair to the dynamic effect of an Art Deco rug and the way wallpaper can transform a room. Featured residences include a modern palazzo on Queensland s Brisbane River full of arches, red and gilt elements, and glorious patterned wallpaper; a Melbourne city mansion that is all sumptuous hues and dark moody opulence; a penthouse on Sydney Harbour blending soft pink tones and sculptural curves; and another penthouse in Melbourne s exclusive Toorak suburb that channels a dazzling Dynasty vibe. Through eight in-depth projects photographed by Anson Smart in all their exquisite detail, The Layered Interior explores the many layers of Natale s interior designs, from the initial concept and inspirations through to the sumptuous application of finishes, furnishings, and accessories. With a foreword by Claud Cecil Gurney, founder of world-renowned wallpaper brand de Gournay, this book offers a captivating journey through the sophisticated interiors for which Greg Natale has become known, in a book that is itself layered with colour, pattern, texture, and storytelling.
