Isabel López-Quesada: At Home Book by Isabel López-Quesada

About the Item

Isabel López-Quesada: At Home By: Isabel López-Quesada Photography by Miguel Flores-Vianna Foreword by Amy Astley Innovatively combining period and contemporary furniture and art in a sophisticated mix, the homes of Isabel López-Quesada (ILQ) are inspirational and unforgettable. At Home is the long-awaited monograph on ILQ, a unique voice in contemporary European design. Passion and obsession have driven the creation of her homes, each a master class in luxurious but warm and inviting interior design, with a savoir-faire revealed by master photographer Miguel Flores-Vianna. In At Home, ILQ introduces her family—she is one of five sisters—their traditions, upbringing, and her life as a creative, young European woman. Her account is illustrated with a treasury of photographs, drawings, sources of inspiration from earlier designers like Renzo Mongiardino and John Stefanidis, talismans, and memorable places that have had a profound influence on her aesthetic development. Her personal journey is the backdrop to the discovery of her city house, an abandoned wax factory in a leafy district of Madrid, and its transformation from an industrial space into a family home and atelier. The Madrid courtyard house, with its flowering patios and water features, became a living laboratory as ILQ refined her mix of textiles, finishes, antiques, and contemporary furniture. Subsequently, she transformed a run-down Basque farm in the rolling hills outside of Biarritz. Over time, and working with a talented team of collaborators—garden designers, artisans, architects, and painters—ILQ designed a country home, where family and friends gather on shady patios. Both the Madrid and Biarritz properties have been affectionately documented by Miguel Flores-Vianna, who has photographed interiors, gardens, luncheons, dinners, and Quesada’s design studios, as well as telling details of fabrics, tiles, decorative objects, personal collections and possessions, family photographs, and watercolors. Isabel López-Quesada is a Spanish interior designer who has had a lifelong fascination with interior design and making beautiful spaces. She has designed projects throughout Spain and the Mediterranean, the United States, Japan, and the Caribbean. Miguel Flores-Vianna has been an editor, writer, and photographer for more than twenty-five years. His photography is regularly published in T, Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, Cabana, Milieu, and Vogue. His Haute Bohemians, also published by Vendome Press, was a runaway bestseller. Amy Astley is the editor of Architectural Digest.

  • Life at the Top Book by Kirk Henckels and Anne Walker
    By Anne Walker
    Located in New York, NY
    Life at the Top New York’s Most Exceptional Apartment Buildings By: Kirk Henckels and Anne Walker Photographs by Michel Arnaud There’s a parlor game that sophisticated New Yorkers have been playing since the Gilded Age: What are New York’s best apartment buildings? Before the turn of the (last) century, the Dakota and the Osborne were obvious answers; by the 1920s the list had grown to include McKim, Mead & White’s 998 Fifth, and the ultra-soigné 820 Fifth Avenue. The Roaring Twenties witnessed the construction of some of the most luxurious apartment buildings ever designed: 740 Park Avenue, the Art Deco–inspired River House, and Rosario Candela’s extraordinary 778 and 720 Park Avenue. Now, nearly 130 years after the Dakota’s cornerstone was laid, the New York skyline features numerous new palatial residential buildings, including Robert A. M. Stern’s 15 Central Park West, Richard Meier’s glass-walled Perry Street towers, and 432 Park Avenue, New York’s tallest residential building. Kirk Henckels and Anne Walker, real estate and architectural insiders, chronicle the fortunes and features of fifteen outstanding apartment houses, bringing them to life with evocative vintage photos of exterior and interior architectural details, as well photographs of chic New Yorkers at home in their elegant abodes by the likes of Beaton, Horst, and Aarons. Accompanied by Michel Arnaud’s expressive photographs and newly commissioned architectural plans, Henckels and Walker tour some of the most beautiful apartments in these buildings as they look today, designed by the talented hands of Robert Couturier, Michael S. Smith, Thomas Jayne, Katie Ridder, Markham Roberts...

  • John Richardson at Home
    By John Richardson, Rizzoli International Publications
    Located in New York, NY
    Famed Picasso biographer and art historian Sir John Richardson opens the doors of residences from his life, revealing an autobiographical sketch through handsomely decorated rooms filled with art, antiques, and intriguing mementoes, each with a special story. John Richardson's Bohemian Aristocrat interiors are, and have been throughout his life, filled with fine English and American antiques; interesting textiles; works of art by friends, legendary artists Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Lucian Freud, Andy Warhol, and Robert Mapplethorpe; vivid color combinations; and objects that prompt stories from a well-lived life. From London and the stately buildings of Stowe School, in the idyllic Buckinghamshire countryside, to the south of France, New York City, and the Connecticut countryside, Richardson shares the story of his life through places, objects, and people, a form of autobiography, gloriously illustrated, entertainingly told. In stories about his residences in the south of France (at the Château de Castille with celebrated art historian and collector Douglas Cooper), London (a set of rooms at the famed Albany apartment house), and the United States (glamorous New York City apartments and a country retreat in Connecticut), Richardson reveals his life through a mélange of interesting places, mementoes, works of art, furnishings that prompt stories, and an endlessly fascinating assortment of friends and acquaintances--Fernand Léger, Lady Diana Cooper, Fran Lebowitz...
