Great - both inspirational and beautiful,
By jantarman@hotmail.com (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
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.

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.

Great coffee table book,
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.
