Download or read book John Barman Interior Design written by John Barman and published by The Monacelli Press, LLC. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-awaited first monograph from the AD100 New York City and Miami-based interior designer recognized for his considerable knowledge of 20th-century design, furniture, and art. From demolishing walls in favor of a floor-to-ceiling, canary-yellow sliding door that opens two rooms to one spectacular Miami Beach view, to adding a sense of translucency to a regal 19th-century Upper East Side townhouse by dividing interior rooms with steel-framed glass doors, John Barman demonstrates in full force—with this book—the clear-cut, decisive blend of glamour and functionality that has won his firm accolades over the past 15 years. At once a classicist and a modernist, John Barman favors handsome, crisp lines and the unrestrained use of strong, resonant color. He can be seen taking decorative cues from contemporary art collections (a palette of warm beige and gold to showcase an Ed Ruscha, or colors and forms inspired by an Alex Katz portrait), seamlessly incorporating antique Persian rugs or Indian artifacts, or combining custom pieces with rich historical references to complement an enviable collection of French art deco furnishings. The fifteen residences featured in these photographs show the designer’s full range of talent with color and texture, as well as his masterful ability to honor history and formality while resisting the expected. Chic New York City penthouses, townhouses, and lofts showcase Barman’s distinctive methods of arranging rooms to facilitate meaningful interaction; polished white flooring and reflective finishes bring ocean light and color into seaside Miami homes; a traditional Shingle Style summer house takes unexpected inspiration from the Indo-Saracenic Royal Pavilion in Brighton, England; and a converted barn in Connecticut is midcentury, California modern rather than country-rustic cliché. Unexpected materials appear in new ways throughout—cobalt blue lacquer on the underside of a spiral oak-and-glass staircase; pink metallic leather and striped velvet update traditional chairs. Whether an open kitchen for an avid home cook, or a streamlined bar wall for cocktail parties, minimalist black and white or teal flocked velvet walls, each space reveals Barman’s signature sophisticated style, bold new ideas, and strong point of view.
Download or read book Beautiful written by Mark D. Sikes and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This New York Times bestselling book from interior designer Mark D. Sikes is a celebration of American style today, showcasing chic and accessible ideas for every home. Modern and unfussy, Mark D. Sikes’s interiors are classic takes on California indoor/outdoor living, with natural fibers and crisp coloration, informed and influenced by the fashion world where he began his career. In eight chapters, he explores approachable, stylish looks, from "Blue and White Forever," which features indigos, stripes, batiks, and wicker in casual rooms such as porches and pool houses; to "Timeless Neutrals," presenting semiformal rooms filled with chinoiserie, gilt, glass, mirrors, banquettes, and French chairs; to "Garden Greens," featuring happy, casual family rooms and kitchens inspired by the garden with treillage woodwork, rattan, and cotton. There are also "Beautiful Brights," colorful rooms that are eclectic, layered, and fun, with chintz, florals, and Middle Eastern influences; and "Sun Faded Hues," rustic coastal rooms with weathered fabrics and furniture. Each chapter presents light-filled images of the designer’s looks and offers the reader inspiration and advice. As famed film director Nancy Meyers writes in the book’s foreword, this is a book that shows design lovers "how classic can look fresh, how style and comfort go hand-in-hand."

Download or read book A Century of Colour in Design written by David Harrison and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'One sits more comfortably on a colour that one likes.'-Verner Panton The allure of colour is undeniable, but its wholesale use in product design is a relatively recent development. Perhaps more than any other object, the Eames Chairs of the 1950s symbolise the cultural intersection of design, technology and colour that continues to influence designers to this day. Suddenly, post WWII, pigment-imbued moulded fibreglass allowed buyers to express their individuality through coloured seating, forever changing the way we think about furniture. From the pale blue Anglepoise lamp to Marimekko's hot-red poppy print and the wine-red Bookworm Bookshelf, this book includes classics, future classics and equally exciting new pieces that will be a discovery for readers. Broad in its scope, A Century of Colour in Design delivers a snapshot of 20th-century history through the lens of design, exploring the origins and rationale behind the design and colouration of some of the century's most iconic furniture and objects.

Download or read book Beth Webb An Eye for Beauty written by Beth Webb and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book from the acclaimed Atlanta interior designer, known for elegantly collected interiors. Beth Webb believes that regardless of who we are or what kind of style we prefer, beauty and comfort are paramount for any home. Because each room is an environment, her design elevates the everyday by speaking to the five senses. In this lavishly illustrated book, Webb explores the fundamentals of creating a home in which every element we see and touch, and how the room makes us feel, enhance our ability to live well. Drawing from her background in the fine arts, Webb offers insight into how form, line, and scale render a space timeless and promote a sense of well-being. There should be texture, calm colors, and plenty of visual moments to keep the eye moving. There should be impeccable tailoring and polished details. And most important, there should be soul, meaning that the house must reflect its owners and their evolving lifestyle. Webb gracefully shares ideas, images, and stories illustrating these principles throughout this rich visual resource and design reference.
