Inside the World's Greatest Homes
Prijs van Euro 37.95 voor Euro 36.05
Fast on the heels of the success of "Hollywood at Home", "Private Views: Inside the World's Greatest Homes" takes readers on a fabulous international tour of the most exciting and glamorous homes that have appeared in the pages of "Architectural Digest" since editor-in-chief Paige Rense took the helm in 1970. Carefully selected by Rense and her team, these 30 homes represent the highest aspirations in interior design across the entire spectrum of styles. Readers will learn the virtues of island living through David Bowie and Iman's idyllic Caribbean retreat, take in the breathtaking view from Giorgio Armani's cliff-side villa, wander the rooms and sprawling grounds of the historic castle and estate of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland and tour the Ghost Ranch of Georgia O'Keefe. Lavishly illustrated with spectacular images, some that have never been published before, this book is sure to appeal to both fans of the magazine as well as architecture and design enthusiasts.
