The New Rizzoli Bookshop at Saks Fifth Avenue, NYC

Rizzoli is pleased to announce our newest retail space at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City. Opening on Friday, April 6th, Rizzoli Bookshop is one of seven new vendors to call the ninth floor of Saks Fifth Avenue home.

Saks Fifth Avenue’s home department has moved to the ninth floor of the New York flagship store. The new 7,500 square-foot space includes six shop-in-shops plus a designer gallery space. Giftables and homewares have been selected with the Saks customer in mind, whether they are New York sophisticates, bi-coastal Angelenos, or luxury-seekers from around the globe.

“We’re thrilled to open our new home and gift department,” said Eric Jennings, Vice President and Fashion Director Men’s and Home. “We’ve enhanced the offerings from our most popular lines and carefully handpicked several new collections that will make home and gift an even more desirable destination at our flagship store.”

Rizzoli’s carefully curated selection of books will appeal to all the interests of Saks Fifth Avenue’s customers, ranging from fashion, design, entertaining, interiors, special travel destinations and, of course, New York. Rizzoli will also host author events within the space later this spring with appearances by Milion Dollar Decorator Martyn Lawrence-Bullard in May and interior design icon Muriel Brandolini in June.

A garden picnic with the author of Salad for Dinner

Author Jeanne Kelly invites you to join her for a garden picnic featuring one of the many delicious salad recipes you can find in her new book Salad for Dinner: Complete Meals for All Seasons.

A celebration of contrasts in color, flavor, and texture—an artfully prepared salad is one of the most appealing dishes to eat, engaging all the senses. We all know it is healthier to eat more vegetables and whole grains. But how do you do so on a daily basis? This book reframes the question: Why not make greens the foundation of the plate? Salad for Dinner helps us break out of the “meat-and-three” box, leading to a new way of thinking about dinner.

Author Lizzie Garrett Mettler discusses Tomboy Style

Tomboys are confident, rebellious, and adventurous. They are bold, brazen, fierce—and sexy. They aren’t known for following rules, they are known for doing—and wearing—whatever they want. In this new book, Tomboy Style, Lizzie Garrett Mettler captures the tomboy’s style: her je ne sais quoi, her wardrobe, and most importantly, her spirit.

Embracing Opposites: Jeffrey Bilhuber on Designers & Books

Designers & Books sat down with interior designer Jeffrey Bilhuber “to find out firsthand just how engaging and entertaining a storyteller [he is] at a recent face-to-face in his office on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.”

Before my first book, Design Basics (Rizzoli International Publications, 2003), I actually had no aspirations or real desire to be an author. Rizzoli approached me asking if I would be interested in writing a book. And I asked, why? The publisher had exactly the right answer—the one you want to hear. He said, “Because I believe you have a book in you.”

Read the full interview here, or visit Jeffrey Bilhuber’s Designers & Books Profile and Booklist.

You can also take a look inside Jeffrey’s newest Rizzoli book, The Way Home: Reflections on American Beauty.
