About this title

Synopsis

For over 25 years, Tricia Guild has been at the cutting edge of contemporary design. Her ability to mix vibrant color and pattern and her imaginative use of modern arts and crafts translates particularly well to city living. With the help of Elspeth Thompsonâ s stimulating essays and Gilles de Chabaneixâ s luminous photos, Trisha Guild in Town presents a blueprint for modern urban living.

Reviews

The Designers Guild, which Tricia Guild founded over 25-five years ago, is best known for its inventive use of bright, bold color combinations. Here Guild's remodeled London Victorian town house serves as an exemplar that reflects her feelings for unusual color combinations and modern design. The second half of the book presents homes in New York City and London that share Guild's sensibility. Photographed by Gilles de Chabaneix and described by Elspeth Thompson, the New York and London homes show restraint compared to Guild's chaotic use of color. A nice counterpoint to the country look; purchase where there is an interest in strong, bold, modern design.
