Francis Sultana Designs and Interiors Book by Bronwyn Cosgrave
Located in New York, NY
Francis Sultana Designs and Interiors By: Bronwyn Cosgrave Edited by Bronwyn Cosgrave Foreword by Yana Peel Contributors Gianluca Longo, Brook Mason This book, investigating Francis Sultana’s work as an interior designer, celebrates the 10th anniversary of his eponymous London studio and highlights an important professional achievement. Since 2015, Francis Sultana has ranked consecutively on the ‘AD100’. This exclusive annual list, published by the U.S. edition of Architectural Digest, features 100 of the world’s best architects and designers. Sultana’s clients are predominantly art collectors and his design flair is to merge the residential requirements of a domestic space with often large-scale visual art, sculpture and installation pieces. Sultana’s palatial home at Albany, the Piccadilly landmark known to be London’s first apartment complex, and also his sixteenth-century palazzo in Malta – the country where he grew up and for which he now serves as an Ambassador of Culture – have also appeared on the covers of the world’s leading interior design magazines. The complete spectrum of Sultana’s work – from his professional beginnings, to his signature furniture collections plus the array of sumptuous domestic spaces he has masterminded for tastemakers and business titans in landmark buildings around the world – is chronicled herein by journalists who are recognized as design authorities. Bronwyn Cosgrave’s journalism about design, fashion and film has appeared in Architectural Digest, Harper’s Bazaar, The Hollywood Reporter, the New York Times, the international editions of Vanity Fair and Vogue as well as every important British newspaper.
