More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Creative Space looks at the studios, apartments, and homes of the designers, directors, stylists, artists, graffiti writers, curators, novelists and innovators that are pushing the boundaries of contemporary culture. These are interiors created by people who shop in Colette in Paris, live on the Lower East Side in New York and travel to Tokyo. The domestic spaces are often DIY and strongly reflect pop culture. Filled with post-modern pop collectables, vintage junk finds, camouflage and graffiti, clothing and toy collections, contemporary art resting in bookshelves and crammed onto walls, these homes are an antidote to the sterility of minimalism. Among the interiors featured in the book are those of Barcelona architect Juan Redon, Paris artist Artus de la Villeon, New York graphic designer Corliss Elizabeth Williams, and Berlin gallerist Johann Heahling von Lanzenauer. Each is at the forefront of the creative world, and the spaces they inhabit and work in give a real image of todayâs avant garde. The book goes through the interiors city by city.

Disappointed of Islington,
By jimble (north london uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creative Space: Urban Homes of Artists and Innovators (Paperback)
I was waiting for a good while for this book to come out (as I am an avid interior books fan) but I am sorry to say it's of the dullest interior/lifestyle books I've seen in years. The photographs are great, but not one of the people featured or their homes inspired or even brought about any feeling of envy.There were too many white walls, and very little interior interest. I am not even sure why the characters contained within were selected (personal friends perhaps) , but the questions weren't very interesting managed and the answers...well. With so many colourful characters in London, the author has no excuse but to do better. New London Style was far better in my opinion. I shall stick to my ID magazines, my Taschen interiors, the Selby website or books by Caroline Clifton Mogg for far better.

Great for people who like snooping round others' houses!,
By SasaWrites (Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creative Space: Urban Homes of Artists and Innovators (Paperback)
I really liked this book and the spaces profiled were very interesting to see, but as one other reviewer has already said, you can see more photos of interiors if you go to the apartmenttherapy website or designsponge sneak peaks. However, they don't quiz the home/studio owners' about themselves as much as this book.Another disappointment was that the people they interviewed often spoke about certain rooms or pieces of furniture, but then these images were never shown. It is certainly an interesting peek into the lives of others, but even more pics would have been better, especially as you can get all this kind of thing - and more - online for free.
