A carefully curated collection of 22 promising architects, interior architects, and designers from all over the world

In 2019 the bestseller Generation Next: Architects & Interior Designers Defining Tomorrow was published by Beta-Plus Publishing. After four years, its successor, Designer's Next, has been published, with a carefully curated selection of 22 promising architects, interior architects and designers.

As in the first edition, this is once again an eminently international group: individuals and duos from Belgium, the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, the United States, Spain, Australia, Ukraine and Canada. They each show one or more of their recent private projects in an extensive report with portraits and biographies.

As many parents know, decorating and furnishing a child's room can be both a pleasure and a problem: you have somehow to find a balance between practicality, playfulness, comfort, safety, originality, and making the most of the space available. Some of the world's best-known designers and design companies have risen to the challenge of creating furniture and accessories specifically for children. Rather than being merely scaled-down adult designs, the best designs for children should respond to their express needs: as well as being durable, safe, and easy to clean, they should nurture a child's development and encourage creativity and the use of imagination. This stylish book presents some 250 designs for children, both iconic pieces of furniture, furnishings, and toys and more recent creations based on the latest technological advances.

From Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Aarnio and Nanna Ditzel through to Marcel Wanders and Javier Mariscal, and from Knoll and Artek to Alessi, MDF Italia, and Magis, the biggest names in design have produced beds, tables, chairs, storage, rugs, cutlery and playthings that can be used from children's earliest days through to the start of adolescence. With a fresh, appealing layout, the book is divided into three main sections - furniture, accessories, and toys - within which the designs are further arranged into such categories as cribs and cots, bookcases, mirrors, mobiles, and rocking horses. Throughout, concise descriptions are accompanied by colorful and lively illustrations.

Whether you are a style-conscious parent seeking ideas for a functional yet fun nursery, bedroom, playroom or study, a design professional or simply a fan of contemporary design, this is an enchanting survey of excellent, clever, child-friendly design.

An elevated yet accessible follow-up to Lauren Liess’s Habitat, showcasing her signature easy-living lifestyle

Down to Earth picks up right where Lauren Liess’s critically acclaimed Habitat left off. While Habitat walked readers through the decorating process step-by-step, Liess’s latest title takes a step beyond the basics and invites readers to incorporate the main components of her familiar design aesthetic: nature, easy living, and approachability.

With evocative photos and substantive design advice, Down to Earth focuses on creating a lifestyle that inspires creativity and functionality.

Throughout the book, Liess shows readers how to incorporate six guiding principles in six unique homes: a new farmhouse, a classic American historical home, a lakeside contemporary house, a modern villa, a turn-of-the-century American Foursquare, and a cedar and glasshouse on a bluff.

While each home has a different architectural style, fingerprints of Liess’s down-to-earth style are evident throughout.

Against the backdrop of his exceptional homes in Paris, Normandy, and the South of France, Pierre Sauvage ― director of Casa Lopez, the legendary Parisian housewares purveyor ― showcases his very personal and contemporary style of decorating and entertaining. His striking use of color sets the tone for each room and serves as a counterpoint to his playful matchings of materials and patterns. With discriminating taste, Sauvage pairs new designs for occasional furniture with singular antiques or hand-painted table settings from Provence and Andalusia with cut crystal decanters.

From bold interiors to elegant gardens and outdoor living spaces, each home is infused with his connoisseur’s eye for luxury details. Stunning photography commissioned especially for this book under Sauvage’s art direction provides inspiration for creating interiors that exude a charm and elegance that is decidedly contemporary, yet conveys the timeless allure of a home that has been passed down over generations.

About the Author:

Pierre Sauvage — a leading figure in Parisian interior design and proprietor of Paris’ legendary home furnishings boutique Casa Lopez — invites readers into twenty of his friend’s homes, from New York to Paris, London, Brussels, and Comporta. Designers, gallerists, entrepreneurs, and publishers have opened their doors to welcome us into their singular, impeccably decorated interiors, revealing sumptuous living rooms replete with artworks and inviting dining rooms with creatively arranged tables. These prestigious hosts all take pleasure in receiving family and friends in intimate gatherings and with style, at homes as varied as an artist’s studio, a seaside farmhouse, or a townhouse in the heart of the city, expressing their sense of conviviality as well as sharing the signature recipes that delight their guests.

Providing a wealth of inspiration for the home and table, this volume pays tribute to the art of entertaining.

The mother-and-son founders of powerhouse interior design firm Clements Design have mastered interiors of a spare yet sumptuous sophistication mixed with California ease that are highly sought after by a star-studded clientele, including Ellen DeGeneres, Adam Levine, Bruno Mars, Kendall Jenner, and Jennifer Lawrence.

In their first book, Clements Design showcases eight outstanding residences that embody the Clements style: understated elegance, sensuous austerity, Zen-like simplicity, easy glamour, and grand intimacy. Clements creates rarefied environments that are ultra-luxurious but never pretentious. Instead, their pared-down rooms are remarkably cozy and relaxed due to the blend of natural materials, muted colors, and matte surfaces and textures, especially from wood, stone, and nubby textiles—perfect for the indoor-outdoor lifestyle of their clients. A Clements home is the perfect backdrop for jaw-dropping art collections that may include Picasso, Morandi, Warhol, and Twombly, and for entertaining in spacious, expansive rooms populated by Rick Owens daybeds, Prouvé chairs, Giacometti light fixtures, Asian sculptures, and Persian rugs in pale shades, all blended with exceptional antiques carefully placed about the spaces. Serenity reigns over all, filling the viewer with a peaceful calm that is priceless.

Personal accounts of working with Clements Design and living in their interiors from, among others, Ellen DeGeneres and Adam Levine, complement the glorious photography. Eight Houses: Clements Design offers a simple life set in an environment of exceeding high style and taste.

From rooftop gardens to flora-laden balconies, flowers and plants bestow a warm grace to unconventional and indoor spaces.

Private paradises nestled in the backyards of homes. Rooftops that act as community gardens. Edible patches of beauty hidden within city blocks. Evergreen shows the verdant aesthetic statement that allows city dwellers to bring nature back into the everyday and quenches urban gardening desires. Living with plants is mutually beneficial; beyond the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen, leaves, flowers, and stems bring a warm and individual charisma to any space. Throughout this engaging collection of projects, urban gardening is complimented by a softer side: balconies that add an extra relaxing touch to a morning cup of coffee, flowers that provide calming fragrances throughout the home, or romantic blooms that feed the soul rather than fill a plate.

Evergreen also inspires those who already live in the midst of lush horticultural and sustainable oases. Straightforward plans and examples illustrate how to transform unused spaces, both indoors and out, into flourishing and functional patches. Sketched floorplans visually detail a myriad of projects including which plants thrive in dark living room corners or which foliage enjoys the damp environment of a bathroom. The profiles of both professional and hobbyist plant lovers provide an engaging guide to productively getting one’s hands dirty; herb gardens on fire escapes, greenhouses that double as living spaces, and community gardens atop roofs all awaken growing curiosities. From cactus farmers and florists to shop owners and activists, let Evergreen’s cast of characters guide you in making and maintaining a green utopia and in quenching gardening longings.

The American farmhouse represents integrity, ingenuity, self-reliance, and agricultural heritage.

Today, the farmhouse is a rare survivor from another era that can be found sensitively reinterpreted by artists, carefully preserved by original owners, or functionally maintained by farm-to-table artisanal food producers.

In more than 200 stunning images, Steve Gross and Sue Daley have painstakingly photographed 20 of the most beautifully preserved farmhouses in the northeast. Some are working farmhouses that have been passed down in families for generations; some have been made productive again by a whole new generation of organic farmers. Still others have been rescued from neglect and restored to their former splendor.

Each house is accompanied by an overview of the farmhouse owner and how he or she maintains the property.

Fans of the farm-to-table movement as well as historic architecture and preservation will find this an intriguing and beautiful read.
