This book, itself a certain classic with a contemporary feel, is a unique opportunity for all those professionally involved in – or just passionate about – design to discover what the world’s leading shapers of taste choose in creating their own homes.
The intimate spaces of the most influential designers of our time are revealed in over 200 specially taken photographs by Grant Scott. We discover how they work, relax and are inspired by their personal and professional surroundings, with plenty of surprises, from the Bouroullec brothers’ carpenter’s workshop in a Parisian suburb to Harry Allen’s converted mortuary in Manhattan.
An international and diverse group of people, these designers are among those who lead and shape our every design decision – from the chairs we sit on to the hotel rooms we sleep in. Their philosophies are revealed through the pertinent question and answer section, in which they share their ideas on design, personal space, inspirations, work methods, and how we live now and how we may be living in the future.
Grant Scott, after many years of designing and directing magazines and books, decided in 1999 to become a full-time photographer. He has since worked for a variety of international clients, including Condé Nast, Hearst Publishing, dwell magazine and Hachette Fillipachi. His work has been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery, London. Samantha Scott-Jeffries has worked in journalism and television, specializing in interior and design programmes, for magazines such as Elle Decoration and Living Etc.
