Featuring a broad cross-section of interiors, this book brings together a selection of over 50 apartments in Paris, chosen purely for their individuality. They include the apartments of celebrities from the worlds of fashion, design and film, such as Thierry Mugler, Andre Putmann and Isabelle Adjani, as well as the Zen apartment of Kircherer.
The best of this series. The New York, London and especially the Berlin volumes feature specimens of impeccable but at times rather banal cool, but in this one there are some real hardcore eccentrics among the artists, designers and other "creative types" chosen to exhibit their homes. There's nothing ordinary in this book. The apartment shared by Pierre & Gilles--which doubles as a museum of their stupendous collection of Elvis and Michael Jackson memorabilia--is worth it alone.
This "coffee table" quality book has earned its place among my favorite decor books. The content is not only beautiful, it is extremely inspiring. This is the book that gets its smooth pages stroked quite often as I consider ways of enhancing my personal space, even as I fight the urge to dogear the most amazing images.
