Product Description

House and Garden, March 2002

Ashley Hicks's account of his working relationship with his wife Allegra. The book is an exploration of creative inspiration, process and outcome...

The English Home, March 2002

...a pair of serious designers but ones who have refreshing respect for the limitations of budget... true to its title, it conjures up a little gold dust.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great - both inspirational and beautiful, 20 Mar 2002
This review is from: The Alchemy of Design (Hardcover)
A fascinating insight into the methods and influences of this up-and-coming design partnership. Her style is free-flowing and organic; his is classically inspired and architectural. Ranges over their complete oeuvre from Allegra's patterned rugs and fabrics to Ashley's jewelry and furniture. With a brief review of historical inspirations (from ancient Pompeii to modern England), fabulous photographs by Bill Batten, and a wealth of practical advice and beautiful images. The text is both down-to-earth and fascinating, with unexpected humorous touches. Thoroughly recommended for any lover of great design.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great - inspiring and beautiful, 10 April 2002
By jantarman@hotmail.com - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Alchemy of Design (Hardcover)
A fascinating insight into the methods and influences of this up-and-coming design partnership, introduced by a foreword from actor Jeremy Irons. Her style is free-flowing and organic; his is classically inspired and architectural. Ranges over their complete oeuvre from Allegra's patterned rugs and fabrics to Ashley's jewelry and furniture. With a brief review of historical inspirations (from ancient Pompeii to modern England), fabulous photographs by Bill Batten, and a wealth of practical advice and beautiful images. The text is both down-to-earth and fascinating, with unexpected humorous touches. Thoroughly recommended for any lover of great design.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great coffee table book, 5 Dec 2011
By Jessica Hacker - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Alchemy of Design (Hardcover)
I don't like to buy books unless I know I will refer back to them. Most of my pleasure reading comes from the library. That being said, I am very happy that I invested in this Ashley Hicks book. I think I could own all the books written by the Hicks family and be very happy! Great photos and descriptions that translate into surprisingly modern design.
