Product description
London, staid London, becomes probably the most provocative,
diametrically opposed city in the world when its living interiors are
exposed.
Edwards shows off her skills in this portfolio of 42 mainly
urban spaces. Most owners are in the arts (or a related industry), in
love with color, and experts at eclecticism.
There's a male trio who
believe in crowning all of their stuffed animals.
An admitted
spokesperson of the underworld surrounds himself (and his family) with
suitably garish and kitsch furnishings.
And the book pays tribute to
Margaret Tyler, owner of the largest stash of royal memorabilia in the
nation (if not anywhere in the world).
Exuberant color photographs and
minimalist text make for a repeatable and enjoyable viewing experience.
London is the capital of
cool, full of famous artists, photographers, musicians, writers,
decorators, designers, architects, and film-makers- and here is a chance
to sneak into their homes!
These aren't your typical rich-and-famous
interiors, they're the apartments, lofts, houses (and even one
houseboat) that truly represent London's wonderful eccentricity.Predictable?
Typical? Not exactly. The book's 300 pages of rich color photographs
will send your senses reeling.
From Noel Gallagher and Meg Matthews'
rock-and-roll townhouse to DJ Talvin Singh's colorful Indian-inspired
hideaway to painter Chris Ofili's multilevel East End home/studio,
you'll find an eye-popping mix of styles.
Expect to be surprised,
delighted, and inspired by this wild array of interiors.
