Interior Design

Liaigre

Following his highly successful volume Maison, interior design guru Christian Liaigre takes us inside six exclusive properties to unveil his luxurious world of design. Liaigre unleashes his masterful eye on diverse, international settings—a hidden Spanish residence, a luxury yacht, a massive Swiss farmstead, a thatched-roof paradise in Bora Bora, a modern Canadian manor, and a villa in the South of France. He combines local materials with the personality of the owner, while remaining true to the signature style that has made him one of the most sought-after designers of our time. Close-up photographs feature a wealth of design details—embossed leather and velour upholstery, generously proportioned furniture, and splashes of jewel-tone accessories that sparkle against the warm earthy tones of the natural, local materials. These creative details are contextualized via panoramic views throughout the book. This handsome, oversized volume is rich in ideas for amateur and professional interior designers alike.

Reviews

"With text...and photography...Liaigre reveals the way he conceives and choreographs each detail of every environment he touches."
~Veranda

"This suitably lavish and striking book, unlike most designer monographs, limits itself to only six of the subject's recent interiors, allowing an unusual degree of familiarity with each." ~Interior Design Magazine

"This oversized book…stands as a work of art shown in both color and black and white." ~Newsday

"Privileged glimpses of rarified retreats..." ~The Atlantan

"A must for design enthusiasts, this gorgeous, weighty tome focuses in great detail on six highly diverse projects..." ~France Today

"...it is definitely a fantasy book filled with jaw-dropping photography, it also reveals Liaigre’s unmatched attention to detail. Keep it on your coffee table and thumb through when you are in need of a Cinderella moment." ~Glam.com

"Courtesy of a sneak preview from the great folks at Rizzoli, TT was enthralled by page after page of the most elegant and sophisticated, yet somehow understated, interiors imaginable." ~Topsyturvy.com
