THE ART OF MODERN DESIGN

The renowned interior designers share residential projects and designs for furniture that embody their sleek and refined contemporary aesthetic

Los Angeles-based Magni Kalman Design brings its vision of clean-lined modernism and polished sumptuousness to every project – whether it’s on the Pacific Coast of California or among desert mountains. In The Art of Modern Design: The Interiors of James Magni & Jason Kalman, they showcase thirteen projects that blend a rich modernist palette of glass, concrete, stone, and steel, with plush textiles and blue-chip art. A chapter on developing their luxury furnishings – exclusive pieces from the Magni Home Collection, that the designers approach as unique sculptures – offers further insight into their creative outlook. This new book is a celebration of artistry, craftsmanship, and the timeless beauty of contemporary interiors.

James Magni and Jason Kalman are the principals of the acclaimed design firm Magni Kalman Design. Originally founded by James Magni in 1988, the firm was renamed when Jason Kalman became a partner in 2016.
