Pure Style

Characterized by clean outlines, crisp fabrics and natural materials for any setting, Pure Style is a veritable treasure trove of ideas and advice for paring down and dressing up. Here is a whole new ethos for living, relaxing, eating and entertaining, inherited from the basic tradition of simple Shaker design. 300 full-color photos.

"Focusing on all things simple and pure, echoing the current trend toward uncluttered interiors with clean outlines, crisp fabrics, and natural materials," designer Jane Cumberbatch's unique approach to interior design captured the imaginations of millions in 1996 with the release of her book Pure Style. Now, the essence of Cumberbatch's design ideas is brought to life in photographs and words in this classic wall calendar. From a simple dining room scene to a cozy blue-and-white bedroom, a gathering of lavender sprigs on antique lace to a kitchen in classic white, noted photographer Harry Bourne's pictures speak to the "aesthetic and the sensual of everyday life." Brief explanatory text noting the design elements accompanies the photos and completes this beautiful calendar.
