Inspired Styles

by Dominique Browning (Foreword), Barbel Miebach (Photographer)

In the rich and eclectic world of interiors, it is the designers who remind us that the spaces we inhabit can be timeless works of art. Colorful and lushly photographed, INSPIRED STYLES is an anthology of the ideas, creative palettes, and select works of fifteen exemplars of interior style, each of whom designs for the Kravet and Lee Jofa Fabrics and Furnishings Company.

Inviting readers to discover their creative processes, each designer describes what inspires and guides their unique and world-appreciated aesthetic. With vibrant photographs depicting their work, first-person texts by the designers themselves, and punctuated with a foreword by House and Garden s editor-in-chief, Dominique Browning, Inspired Styles is not only an object d art, it is an invaluable reference for both amateurs and professionals who aspire towards remarkable interiors and beautiful living spaces.

I really enjoyed spending an afternoon savoring this book. Visually, it was arresting and fun and I liked each designer's list of influences. I'd love to check out Harry's bar in Italy...
