Bernerd’s interior design is highly regarded for her bold and contemporary approach to luxury, and in this second Rizzoli volume of her work, she draws on travel as her principal inspiration in designing one-of-a-kind spaces that exude sophistication and coziness in equal measure.

Bernerd is known for creating interiors that have a very special sense of place. Firm in her belief that “good design transports us without us being entirely conscious of the fact,” she aspires to take us out of the day-to-day to places we don’t want to leave and give us the desire to bring a piece of that back home.

Committed to the utility of good design, Bernerd works on an increasingly global platform with projects around the world. Hailed by the Financial Times for combining “impeccable craftmanship and timeless style,” her keen eye for composition and detailing and remarkable flair for color and texture make her one of the most sought-after interior designers in the world.

Renowned for her insight on the allure of the exotic, the designer invites the reader to apply lessons from their own wanderings. She utilizes her sophisticated eye for detail, carefully selecting books, candles, glassware, and trays in order to enhance every element of design. Beautifully illustrated with stunning images of Bernerd’s latest projects, a lifetime of learning and collaborating is employed to great effect in the sun-dappled rooms of a summer home in Ibiza, and in a resort in the Riviera Maya that combines vernacular architecture with modern amenity in an elegant and thoughtful way. This luxurious volume celebrates the breadth of Bernerd’s ambition “to create meaningful, timeless, and seductive spaces that will linger in someone’s mind and heart.”
