At Home: Isabel Lpez-Quesada

Description

Innovatively combining period and contemporary furniture and art in a sophisticated mix, the homes of Isabel Lpez-Quesada are inspirational and unforgettable. In At Home, the Spanish designer tells her own story. The perfect gift for admirers of her work, and an ideal introduction for those new to the designer.

Lpez-Quesada is arguably the most significant European woman designer working today. The keyword in interior design today is authenticity: an original voice. And authenticity is the hallmark of Lpez-Quesadas work. She introduces her family and their traditions, and reveals her sources of inspirationsuch as the work of earlier designers like Renzo Mongiardino and John Stefanidis. She relates how she transformed an abandoned wax factory in a leafy district of Madrid into her family home and atelier, and then recounts how she created a country home out of a run-down Basque farm in the hills outside of Biarritz, France.

Both the Madrid and Biarritz properties have been affectionately documented by Miguel Flores-Vianna, who has photographed interiors, patios, and gardens, as well as Lpez-Quesadas design studios. Lavishly illustrated with over 250 color photographs, At Home provides a window into Isabel Lpez-Quesadas design philosophy, and her fascination with creating beautiful spaces.

In the luscious pages of her first book, Isabel Lpez-Quesada offers lessons in living that resonate and inspire just as much as her aesthetic lessons. Amy Astley (From the foreword)
