A captivating photographic odyssey spanning fashion, Hollywood and travel, this is the first publication in almost 40 years on the work of George Hoyningen-Huene, the photographer whose images defined an era. Baron George Hoyningen-Huene (1900–1968), known simply as Huene, worked during the golden age of couture fashion and Hollywood cinema. He was born in St Petersburg to a wealthy family, but they had to flee their home during the Russian revolution in 1917. Huene spent time in England before moving to Paris, where he was employed to create photographs for Vogue and Vanity Fair and rapidly established himself as a visual innovator, fusing elements of neoclassicism and surrealism to create chic, arresting images. In 1935, Huene joined Harper’s Bazaar magazine, where he remained a contributor until 1946, following which he settled in California and embarked on a second career as a colour coordinator for Hollywood films. Supported by an international exhibition opening at Chanel Nexus Hall in Tokyo, this book combines elegant design and production values with rigorous new research and scholarship. Organized into eight chapters, each supported by texts by contributing writers from the worlds of fashion, cinema and photography, and featuring names and faces that have defined our view of style, glamour and grace in the 20th century, it reminds us of Huene’s position among the greats of photography.
Known for his intriguing mix of classic and modern styles that he masterfully assembles to create timeless, yet edgy, interiors, Alex Papachristidis s decorating has evolved over the last decade, with the incorporation of more artisanal furniture and artwork. This beautifully photographed book features a wide array of new arresting projects (many not published), including a luxe modern Hamptons beach house decorated in all gold, silver, and white; two divine Manhattan townhouses one full of modern art and eighteenth-century furniture and another for a young family that has a stylish vivid palette; and a colourful grand Bohemian Greenwich Village apartment incorporating mid-century furniture. Also included is Papachristidis s over-the-top extraordinary dining room from the 2016 Kips Bay Decorator Show House. Featured on the cover of Veranda, in what remains one of their most popular issues, it has become an iconic room. Throughout the book are tabletop settings styled by Papachristidis that are integrated in many of the featured homes. He shows his clients how to mix such wide-ranging elements as contemporary dishes with antique decorative objects to create eye-catching tableaux. With this book, the author shares his extensive knowledge for gracious living.
Named to the 2022 Architectural Digest AD100 list Named to the 2022 Elle Decor A-List Over the past forty years, Thomas Kligerman has been immersed in the history of residential architecture, weaving together sources from English and European traditions with the American vernacular, particularly the puebloan style of the Southwest and the shingle style that has prevailed along the East Coast since the late nineteenth century. A staple on the AD100 list, Kligerman has woven together these strands of domestic architecture to create his own American aesthetic. Shingle and Stone: Thomas Kligerman Houses is a full-career monograph that features a selection of inspiring residences that highlight the evolution of his architectural thinking. Shingle and Stone presents thirteen major highlights from Kligerman’s portfolio, including three projects currently in design. The featured projects are all set in extraordinarily beautiful natural landscapes, from the coasts of Martha’s Vineyard and the Hamptons, to the forests of South Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains and the Pacific Northwest, showcasing the depth and breadth of the architect’s oeuvre. Illustrated with more than 200 spectacular photographs of interiors and exteriors alongside plans, renderings, and sketches that reveal the design process, this new book will immerse readers in the powerfully nuanced language of Kligerman’s architectural vision. In the architect’s own words, exceptional architecture combines existing styles in order to “move the needle forward,” and this new monograph presents luxurious single-family homes that do exactly that. Written in collaboration with the celebrated design editor Mitchell Owens, Shingle and Stone is an inspirational architectural collection that presents the contemporary traditional design for which Kligerman is known. Beautifully packaged with a vellum jacket over a linen case silkscreened with one of Kligerman’s own hand-drawn sketches, this is the ideal book for both architects and design enthusiasts, and is sure to sit beautifully on any bookshelf, desk, or coffee table.
For readers who enjoyed Mario Buatta, Tom Britt's monograph documents the fifty-year career of one of America's greatest designers. Britt's interiors reflect a cleanly tailored and brightly hued modernity, with all the embellishments of refined and luxurious decoration. A must-have addition to Rizzoli's list of books on the modern masters of interior design. Fabulous: The Dazzling Interiors of Tom Britt is a sweeping survey of (and the first book about) the AD100 interior designer's grand way with decoration. Color palettes are bold, style contrasts are high energy, even the smallest room is packed with swagger and panache, and multicultural allusions abound.
