Book Reviews of Monochrome
Book Review: A Beautiful Book About Interior Design
Summary: 4 Stars
This book presents work with an underlying intelligent, bordering on intellectual, point of view; it goes beyond just presenting pretty pictures. John Saladino's introduction is insightful and interesting; his intro does give one insight into the color theory that underlies the work of this extremely talented and fiercely intelligent designer. I recommend this book for these reasons to designers and those serious about design. This is not a book for those that are looking for a lot of pretty pictures to get ideas from.
Summary of Monochrome
More than any other element of interior design, color sets the mood of a room. Once the palette is limited to a single color, the effect can be dramatic and powerful or sublime. Monochrome features projects by more than twenty internationally known interior designers who have created rooms based around one color. Included are a blue bedroom by Vicente Wolf, a silver dining room for Baccarat by Philippe Starck, an ivory loft apartment by Lee Mindel of Shelton Mindel, and a purple bedroom by Benjamin Noriega. Neutral shades?grays, taupes, and beiges?and crisp, contemporary whites are featured in projects by M Group, Anthony Todd, Noel Jeffrey, and Michael Gabellini.John Saladino, who is renowned for his cool, subtle tones, has written an introductory text. He touches on the different approaches to color over time and describes the effects created by using a single color in different textures and patterns of fabric and finishes.
