Summary

The author of the eponymously named Jeffrey Bilhuber's Design Basics, celebrated for its accessibility and practicality, returns with a dramatic new title that will build on the previous book's success and simultaneously go a step beyond, highlighting the evolution of the international design star's work to an entirely new plane of luxury. Many of Bilhuber's clients are themselves trendsetters: Anna Wintour, Iman and David Bowie, Elsa Peretti, and Mariska Hargitay, and his work has been published in dozens of design and magazines. In a lavish new format, Bilhuber presents his most recent client projects. Bilhuber's thoughtful approach to the subject of luxury has the book divided into seven themes--Discovery, Passion, History, Ornament, Grace, Comfort, and Delight--and within each section he features the appropriate interior. Written with the grace only a master of glorious interiors like Bilhuber could write, the text will inspire the reader to create a home rich with all the comforts and pleasures of the well-lived life.
