Cullman & Kravis: Interiors - Ellie Cullman - Bog

Cullman & Kravis, an AD100 Hall of Fame design firm, creates rooms in a fresh traditional style that incorporates plenty of color, vibrant modern art, and the best antiques. This is their most comprehensive book in many years and celebrates a renowned firm working at the peak of its practice. Driven by the constant pursuit to create "an alchemy of old and new," the esteemed firm of Cullman & Kravis is best known for its ability to create cohesive modern traditional rooms full of rich layers. Utilizing their decades of experience, they build out from the best classical foundations, then inject bold, stylish, and current elements into every home, mixing exquisite antiques with contemporary art to create truly dynamic spaces that will never feel dated. In this volume, Cullman & Kravis breaks down their process into a master class of twenty-first-century design, covering such topics as: creative approaches to injecting shine, texture, and personality with carpets and fabrics; when to inject custom furniture or artisanal/craft/art pieces; and when to embellish with standout details and when to keep things simple. The homes in this book (the majority exclusive to the volume) include sumptuous Manhattan apartments, a historic Stanford White-designed house overlooking Long Island Sound, a contemporary beach house in the Hamptons, and a Palm Beach waterfront estate. With spectacular photography from Eric Piasecki, this volume will be a must-have for every enthusiast of interior design.
