Book Reviews of Liaigre
Book Review: A rip off of others...
Summary: 1 Stars
The Book and the work is a bit disappointing. Heavy even Baroque in some elements. It also appears that Liaigre was influenced heavily by Peter Zumthor's Thermal Baths at Val. The projects are so similar , I thought at first it was the same project. No credit was given to Zumthor in any way.... very strange. I have to think that Zumthor's was the original since his project won the Nobel Prize for Art. It is a very blatant reproduction down to the towel bars and stone texture. If my assumptions are in error please correct me. Perhaps they collaborated on these projects .... no credits indicate that is the case. Perhaps Liaigre project was the first of the two... Zumthor's has been out for a while since the project was complete in the mid 90"s , so its doubtful. Perhaps there is pending litigation between the parties and they are bound to silence. If anyone knows or has an explanation it would be welcomed.
I think this one is going back!

Summary of 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.Decorating Books
