SLEEPING BEAUTY

摘要

The autumn leaves have barely begun to turn and the sweepstakes for the most ravishing design tome of the fall season may already be over. Houses That We Dreamt Of (Rizzoli) takes readers on a fantastic voyage through six treasure-laden homes conjured by Reed Krakoff, chief artistic officer of Tiffany & Co., and his wife, interior designer Delphine Krakoff, for themselves and their children. Each project is a tour de force of idiosyncratic vision and fastidious connoisseurship, chockablock with object lessons in the inspired melding of the art and design of far-flung periods and pedigrees. Although several of the houses have been glimpsed in magazine articles over the years, the book offers the kind of deep dive that warms the hearts of design aficionados. A word of warning: Have a fainting couch nearby as you leaf through the delectable volume, in case all the gorgeousness triggers an attack of the vapors.
