Product Description
Tricia Guild's status as a designer is legendary. Her company Designer's Guild sells collections of her fabrics, paints, wallpaper, and furnishings all over the world. Here, in this truly personal book, Tricia reveals the many sources of her inspiration and gives an insight into the way she works. Her passions are many and various: art and fashion; architecture and design; theatre and opera; travel; food; flowers and gardening; the broad sweep of landscape and the miraculous minutiae of nature; texture and form; light and shadow; and above all, colour. This wonderful and eclectic mix of inspirations from all walks of life, and all corners of the world is presented as a collection of photographs and text grouped together, or juxtaposed, to form a dazzling, thought-provoking cornucopia of visual and literary delights to stir her many fans.

Format:Paperback
This book is a must for young artists or designers who need inspiration for various projects. It is packed full of wonderful photograghs of everyday objects, presented in such a way that the design element is obvious.Although her books are usually concerned with interior design, this one can cross all the boundaries, with its wonderful colour combinations, pattern ,composition etc. A book to dip into again and again whenever inspiration is needed for artwork, creative embroidery,fabric design, interiors, sculpture , I could go on and on.

Another fabulous book by the great Guild
7 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is my latest purchase from Guild's work and it's quite extraordinary in every respect. Most obviously, there's book design that perfectly juxtaposes images, topics and themes and provides just enough order so that the reader doesn't get lost among Guild's varied inspirations. The photography is stunning, and as always with Guild the colors are rich and vital. Best of all, for me at least, was the glimpse of Guild's creative life, seen in sharp relief through the diverse things that inspire her. Frank Gehry and Arne Maynard, India and England, roses and food, white on white and iridescent feathers: Guild's storehouse of inspirations is at once contradictory and utterly consistent, reflecting as it does a love of things that are intricate, bold, and beautifully designed, either by humankind or by nature. I've used this book to emphasize the importance of inspiration in my classes on creativity and writing, but it's also enjoyable just for its visual delights.

Inspiration by Tricia Guild
11 May 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Tricia Guild's colors carry a bright and bold color palette. This book is no exception, with images which spark the sense. There are bits of color swatches with pictures of fabric pattern, fruits, flowers and furniture. It is a brightly festive book filled with celebrations of beautiful things in life including parrakeets, lemons, herbs and verandas. I will look over this book over and over again for inspiration as I do her Country colors. two thumbs up!
