Past In Present is a book for lovers of interior design, architects and restorers; the exceptional photography shows both interiors and particular workshops, illustrating the perfect combination of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design.
Past In Present is a lavishly illustrated and luxurious book full of inspiration: the book shows interiors from the Netherlands and abroad and gives extra information about such applied disciplines as restoring, furniture making, patinating and forging.

Thong Lei and Anne Noordam are the founders and owners of Decoration Empire, a company specialised in interior architecture and building restoration that follows up interior design projects in the Netherlands and abroad. With a team of highly skilled workers, Decoration Empire focuses on the use of carefully selected materials, traditional techniques and art.

Patina Style celebrates the beauty that the passage of time brings to the things your life. The antique and imperfect and the slightly worn combined with natural materials and a subtle color palette create a look that is both timeless and fresh.

Brooke and Steve Giannetti embrace the life in things: a newel post worn smooth by touch: a leather trunk bearing scratches of global travel; velvet that is faded over time, silver that is subtly tarnished or a flowerpot wearing a covering of moss. This is the essence of the Patina design style.

The Giannettis reveal how they create the look, repurposing salvaged objects, bringing outdoor pieces inside, turning old treasures into something better than new. Lavish photography and a clear design philosophy will inspire you to see the beauty in everyday objects and to develop your own patina style.

Intermediate outdoor spaces, such as patios, porches, and verandas, require as much planning and forethought as the interior rooms of a house.

Designed to serve as additional living spaces, the examples shown in this book use a wide variety of lighting, furniture, and decorative elements to create unique and breathtaking outdoor rooms. Whether your porch overlooks a beach or garden, or your patio is situated next to a lake or a lush lawn, this book will provide you with hundreds of ideas from all over the world.
