New London Style

by grimshaw-chloe, Ingrid Rasmussen

New London Style takes a fresh look into the private dwellings of the most exciting young creative talents in the city, from the music, fashion, design and art worlds. This exciting aesthetic takes many forms, but above all it expresses a creative sensibility against the backdrop of the ever-changing environment of one of the world’s most exciting cities. The 28 houses in the book are loosely arranged by location, in the grooviest, on-the-edge neighbourhoods – fromWhitechapel to Notting Hill, Camberwell to Clerkenwell – and reflect the cosmopolitan melting pot that influences the city’s design trends.Whether in a mews house, derelict pub, or even a church, this new wave of lively Londoners is injecting funkiness and bright ideas into a range of highly individualistic and inspirational interiors.

Complete eye-candy for me. I enjoyed the mix of styles, none of which seemed "standard interior designer constraining", but instead seemed to spring from the dweller's personalities, needs, and desires more than a desire to cater to boring design prescriptions.
