Haute Bohemians: Who is an haute bohemian? Leave it to the discriminating eye of photographer Miguel Flores-Vianna

Miguel Flores-Vianna, one of the world’s most fashionable photographers of interiors and lifestyle, documents the original taste of twenty contemporary bohemians.

“My dear friend Miguel Flores-Vianna’s new book Haute Bohemians is the most gorgeous and inspiring book I’ve ever seen. His stunning photographs are of houses that are both beyond chic and yet at the same time unbelievably warm and personal.” — Ina Garten, The Barefoot Contessa

Who, exactly, is a haute bohemian? Leave it to the discriminating, gimlet eye of photographer Miguel Flores-Vianna, who enjoys an international, cult-like following. He has journeyed through four continents to capture an extraordinary group of fashion designers, landscape architects, artists and art historians, potters, and interior designers, where they live—country cottages, beach bungalows, canal-side lofts, and East Village apartments, as well as assorted estancias, châteaux, and palazzi.

With over 250 color photographs, some of these spaces in this gorgeous coffee table book are grand, others are modest, but all are original, stylish, charming, and above all authentic, in the sense that they reflect their owners’ care and taste.

With an introduction by Amy Astley, editor of AD .

What sets (these rooms) apart is that they are all in big and small ways magnificent repositories of diverse cultures and visions…’the geography of a life’…like mirrors…reflect who their owners are in a most personal way.

This gorgeous and enormous design book has a decidedly European flair with many of the homes in London, Paris and Berlin and then reaching across the waters to Tangier, Marrakech and Morocco. Miguel Flores-Vianna, editor, photographer and AD contributor, beautifully captures the homes of artists, designers and tastemakers and with his discerning eye turns rooms into high art.

There is a decayed sort of opulence to these environs, every page is robust with color, objets de art and well-lived furnishings, but there is also such life springing from its pages. I would no sooner cut off my arm than cut out a page from such a magnificent book, but so many pages would make for beautiful artwork.

This unquestionably falls into the inspiration category versus practicality, but if you enjoy looking at spaces that have been curated over time and reflect the authentic vision of a chic bohemian then this voluminous design book will surely enchant.

Oxfordshire was 100% my favorite. In the running were The Dolomites, Italy - Ibiza and Montauk - and Ingenio, Gran Canaria....not 100% sure in that order.

Haut Bohemians is an exquisite book that offers glimpses into highly fascinating mansions from all over the world. Text and photographs are by Miguel Flores Vianna, both equally beautiful, poetic, and by itself pieces of art. Accompanied by short introductions the images are as distinguished as are the houses and their owners. A unique view into some of the finest private owned houses. A treasure of a book.

Incredibly inspirational. More and more, I find myself wanting to create more unconventional spaces, and this was the perfect way to armchair travel and peer into the design sensibilities of some amazing artists.

wow, rich people! looking at your homes is teaching me a lot about my personal color palette likes and dislikes. and that I'm not a fan of very tasteful homes or at least I don't want to live in one.
