Lisa Lovatt-Smith Livres

A temptation to dream This book explores contemporary interiors in the sun-soaked land that stretches from the Sahara to the Morocco. The diversity is the rural pis? architecture of the south is a far cry from the Hispano-Mooresque ornamental beauty of the imperial cities. Moroccan Interiors are as endlessly varied as the country itself, from the restored palaces in the medina of Marrakesh (where aesthetes of the international set now live) to humble troglodyte fishermen's homes at Sidi Moussa d?Aglou. The colorful palette of this country and the light there themselves suffuse these very different homes with a vitality that is as distinctive to modern Morocco as it is a reflection of contemporary trends in d?cor worldwide.

Provence privat - Menschen auf der ganzen Welt sind fasziniert vom Phänomen Provence, der römischen „Provincia Gallia Narbonensis“ im Südosten Frankreichs. Sie erstreckt sich vom schroffen Felsmassiv bei Vaucluse über schier endlose Lavendelfelder bis hin zu malerischen Fischerdörfern am Mittelmeer, von den weiß getünchten Fassaden der Camargue bis zu den imposanten Schlössern und Burgen. Immer ist die Provence lebendiger Spiegel mediterraner Leichtigkeit und Lebensart. Provence Interiors vereint unterschiedlichste Interieurs der Provence zu einer kollektiven Idee des Savoir-vivre. Lisa Lovatt-Smith öffnet die sonst verschlossenen Türen zu den privaten Räumlichkeiten einer Herzogin und zum Haus eines Bienenzüchters, vom Gestüt eines Kunstsammlers bis zum Wochenend-Domizil eines Bildhauers, vom romantischen Zigeunerwagen bis zum im minimalistischen Stil renovierten Kloster. Zahlreiche Prominente wie z. B. Christine Picasso, Ewa Truffaut und der Künstler Arman gewähren einen intimen Blick auf ein, sonst hinter Mauern und Türen verborgenes, Innenleben der Provence.

Shows us around fifty imaginatively conceived apartments and houses, the homes of prominent people such as Helena Christensen, and Christian Lacroix.
