Nicole Hollis: Artistry of Home - (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Celebrated for her "delightfully elegant, understated interiors" (House Beautiful), and her fusing of artisanal elements into a contemporary approach to spaces, Nicole Hollis's second book presents an inspirational look at the role of art and craft in interior design.

Focusing on the profound effect that art, craft, and color can play in any interior, this book presents Hollis's masterful new residential projects, in which the curation of art, objects, and custom furnishings are key to the character of the spaces.

Spanning homes in New York, California, and Hawaii, each interior reveals a new lesson in the creative and playful juxtaposition of artistic elements. In an elegant townhouse in San Francisco, a striking collection of contemporary paintings contrasts color and dynamism against luxuriously minimal furnishings. A loft in Tribeca pairs the organic forms of naturalistic chandeliers over sleek, modern furniture. And in a dreamlike beach house in Hawaii, custom woodwork brings into the space elements of the sublime nature outside.

With contributions from acclaimed artists and artisans whose work has complemented and elevated the spaces--including French artist Ingrid Donat, Italian sculptor Mauro Mori, and art/design practice Studio Job--the book is at once an exhibition of enviably artful interiors and an inspiration for those looking to reinvigorate their homes with art, craft, and design.

"For her second book, San Francisco-based Nicole Hollis showcases her new projects through Douglas Friedman's skillful eye. The frequent AD contributing photographer frames Hollis's art beautifully: Flip through his imagery and find a cherry-blossom chandelier in a stark Tribeca loft, Tron-like neon lights in a powder room, or an electric azure walk-in closet that gives peacocking a whole new meaning--you'll understand why Hollis's talent and range has been recognized across the industry again and again, including AD's own AD100." -- Architectural Digest
