About this Item
An outstanding exploration of the emotional, historical, and practical power of color by internationally acclaimed textile and interior designer Lori Weitzner. Rather than presenting a conventional decorating guide, Weitzner organizes the book around ten evocative color palettes - including Waterside, Silverlight, Night Shadows, Earthly, Out Loud, and Fragrant Woods - pairing richly photographed interiors, textiles, architecture, fashion, nature, and fine art with thoughtful essays on the psychology, symbolism, and cultural significance of color. Beautifully designed throughout, this substantial Harper Design volume serves as both an inspiring coffee-table book and a practical design reference for decorators, artists, architects, and collectors of contemporary design literature.
First Printing, 2016, as explicitly stated on the copyright page. This copy is additionally warmly inscribed by Lori Weitzner on the title page and dated March 16, 2017, reading: 'Dear Jennifer, May your world be filled with all beautiful colors! Best, Lori Weitzner.' A desirable signed association for collectors of contemporary design and decorative arts.
Book is in Near Fine condition. Patterned publisher's pictorial boards remain bright and exceptionally clean with sharp corners and a tight, square binding. The text block is clean and unmarked aside from the author's inscription. A small superficial rub/transfer mark is present on the front blue endpaper (visible in photographs) and there is a faint bump/rub at the upper spine tip, neither affecting the integrity of the volume. An attractive collector-quality example of a beautifully produced first printing.
