Jed Johnson: Opulent Restraint, the first book to chronicle the fascinating career, work and times of an interior design superstar, is now back in print after many years.

From humble beginnings in Minnesota, Johnson rose to prominence in the 1970s New York, via the Warhol Factory, to the highest echelons of the rarified world of design. He was named by Architectural Digest in the January 2010 issue one of “The Worlds 20 Greatest Designers of All Time.” His impressive client list included Pierre Berge, Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall, Richard Gere, and Barbara Streisand. Yet, he never lost his shy humility, generous spirit, and quiet grace. Through a series of essays, project photographs, and personal photographs, we trace the influences on his nascent career, his special relationship with Andy Warhol as recently portrayed in the Netflix series of 2022 “The Andy Warhol Diaries," and his magical effect on others. Many never-before-seen photographs are included by important photographers, among them: Cecil Beaton, Francesco Scavuello, Billy Name, Jack Mitchell, John Hall, Elizabeth Heyert, and Warhol himself. Opulent Restraint is a must have for every interior design office.

Nine recent projects by renowned architect John Ike

A signature shingled house in a New York suburb, a renovated mid-century modern house in San Diego, a glass-and-brick house near Seattle, a beach house on the Atlantic coast, a reimagined historic building in Brooklin, Maine — the projects featured in this book vary widely in style, location, and materials, but all share a common sensibility. For John Ike, partner at Ike Baker Velten and formerly a founding partner of the award-winning firm Ike Kligerman Barkley, they are all vehicles illustrating the myriad ways architecture is created. His involvement in them ranges from mentor to principal architect and designer, but all are collaborations, and in each chapter he focuses attention on a person who was particularly instrumental in realizing the project, whether the interior designer, the landscape architect, the contractor, a craftsperson, or the client. With an authoritative text by seasoned architecture and design writer Mitchell Owens and specially commissioned photography, John Ike: 9 Houses, 9 Stories explores and celebrates the inextricable bond between the architect and those who implement his vision, a give-and-take that results in singularly designed residences.

About the Authors:

John Ike has been practicing architecture and design for more than four decades. He travels widely, and his aesthetic is influenced by the architectural traditions and regional inflections of the places he visits, particularly Italy, Scandinavia, Mexico, and northern Canada. In 1989, following a formative stint in the office of Robert A. M. Stern, with whom he had studied for his Master of Architecture degree at the Graduate School of Architecture at Columbia University, he co-founded Ike Kligerman Barkley. During his thirty-three years with Ike Kligerman Barkley, the firm published two books, Ike Kligerman Barkley: Houses and The New Shingled House. It received numerous awards, including the AIA New York Chapter Award, the DDB Stars of Design Award, the ICAA Julia Morgan Award, and the ICAA Stanford White Award, and it was named to the AD100 and the Elle Decor A-List. In 2023, Ike co-founded his new firm, Ike Baker Velten. As a designer, he has collaborated on the glass furniture line Chroma D with photographer Irene Mamiye. A father of three and an avid hunter and fisherman, Ike spends his spare time working on his mid-century modern residences in New Jersey and San Diego and his loft in Oddfellows Hall, a historic 19th-century ceremonial lodge in Brooklin, Maine.

Mitchell Owens is the American editor of The World of Interiors and a host of @indegaretravel. He was formerly decorative arts editor at Architectural Digest. He lives in New York.

Le Corbusier had perhaps a more profound effect on visual culture than any other architect of his generation and his influence and development was inextricably connected to the rise of the twentieth century’s central form of popular media: photography.

Long before many in his field, he harnessed the power of the photographic image to define and disseminate his persona, his ideas and his buildings around the world.

Coinciding with the 125th anniversary of Le Corbusier’s birth and the 100th anniversary of the foundation of his first studio in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, this book – the first devoted solely to the relationship between Le Corbusier and photography – brings together contributions by leading scholars and experts on the man to explore his use of and engagement with photography, offering many fresh perspectives on his genius.

From the early pictures he took as a young travelling architect and snapshots of his surroundings, to his approach to the design of his influential publications, and large-scale photographic images and collages for architectural spaces, this collection of insights into Le Corbusier’s photographic eye reveals the scope of his innovation, as well as offering candid and often unexpected images of the man himself.

A spectacular visual biography of the life and work of Le Corbusier – one of the twentieth century's most influential architects

A decade after its first publication, the bestselling monograph Le Corbusier Le Grand is finally available in a new paperback edition. Documenting the life and work of one of the giants of twentieth-century architecture and design, the book presents an array of sketches, photographs, and correspondences, charting the vast and varied output of Le Corbusier, an artist who continues to fascinate those inside and outside the architectural world.

About the Author:

Jean-Louis Cohen is undoubtedly France's most authoritative and knowledgeable historian of twentieth-century architecture and urbanism. He divides his time between Paris and New York, where he is the Sheldon H. Solow Professor in the History of Architecture at the Institute of Fine Arts of NYU University.

Le Corbusier is often remembered as having been aggressively indifferent to the sites in which he placed his buildings and plans. However, new research reveals that, in keeping with his proposition that ‘the outside is always an inside’, all of Le Corbusier’s projects responded emphatically to specific geographies.

This book examines Le Corbusier’s relationship with the landscapes of five continents, in forty essays by thirty of the foremost scholars of his work.

His sketchbooks, letters and publications confirm that he was deeply involved with both optical and physical relationships to landscapes – in observing them, rendering them and building them.

From his beginnings in Switzerland, as a disciple of the regional style sapin in his hometown of La Chaux-de-Fonds, to the creation of the new Indian city of Chandigarh; from touring Europe in his Avions Voisin automobile to mapping South America from the air; from inserting grand plans into existing urban layouts to setting the Ronchamp chapel on an isolated hill in France, Le Corbusier created forms that responded to the horizons and welcomed them in

Liaigre invites readers on a world tour of its newest generation of interiors exemplifying the renowned French brand's masterful savoir-faire, pared-back elegance, and renewed vigor.

In an exquisite volume, the illustrious French interiors house Liaigre takes us inside its latest cosmopolitan residences. For over thirty years Liaigre has solidified its signature excellent craftsmanship, precise aesthetic, and luxurious simplicity with a subtle eye for details; the house embodies elegant understatement, reminiscent of the most refined art de vivre. Following the departure of its visionary founder in 2016, Liaigre has been infused with new energy. Throughout the book's pages, readers will delve into character-filled interiors that speak to its vision for the future.

A Japanese house overlooking hot thermal springs; a modernist palace in New Delhi (Liaigre's first project in India); a delicate renovation of a traditional local villa in St. Moritz; an update to a glamorous Parisian villa from the early twentieth century; and a modern reinterpretation of a Bavarian-style mansion in Munich--all of these projects and more represent manifestos of the "Liaigre style." Furthermore, a visual immersion into Liaigre's Paris studio offers a behindthe-scenes glimpse into the house's creative know-how. Featuring exceptional images from specially commissioned photoshoots and an engaging essay by French art historian Françoise-Claire Prodhon, this tome will delight new and old fans of Liaigre's designs as well as interiors aficionados everywhere.

About the Author:

Françoise-Claire Prodhon is an art historian. She studied at the École du Louvre in Paris, and is a renowned art critic, author, and journalist, writing for such magazines as Flash Art International, Intramuros, and AD France.

Charlotte Perriand (24 October 1903 – 27 October 1999) was a French architect and designer. Her work aimed to create functional living spaces in the belief that better design helps in creating a better society. In her article “L’Art de Vivre” from 1981 she states, “The extension of the art of dwelling is the art of living ― living in harmony with man’s deepest drives and with his adopted or fabricated environment.” Charlotte liked to take her time in a space before starting the design process. Her approach to design includes taking in the site and appreciating it for what it is. Perriand connected with any site she was working with or just visiting she enjoyed the living things and would reminisce on a site that was presumed dead.

She is well known for the playful way in which she mixed and superposed materials and styles in most of the furniture she created during her career. Nonetheless, one of the most essential influence on her entire work has been the Japanese craftsmanship that kept on inspiring her.

Living with Charlotte Perriand presents a catalogue of the great designer’s work, object by object. Her chairs, tables and bookshelves in all their different iterations are seen here both up close and "at home," as installed in the living spaces of collectors.
