Sudpsuez Michael S. Smith Classic by Design
Words by Michael S. Smith and Andrew Ferren
Foreword by Shonda Rhymes
Design icon and AD100 Hall of Fame member Smith’s highly anticipated book of interiors—the first in nearly a decade—featuring extraordinary projects across the world.
One of the most original and respected talents in design, Smith is revered for his impeccable taste and style. Informed by a deep understanding of design history and the art world, Smith’s work is the ultimate in elegance and luxury, reflecting an uncommon sense of scale and drama and a deft use of craftsmanship and materials. His interiors have earned him enduring accolades throughout the industry, as well as a devoted following of notable clients, from Hollywood mega talents such as Shonda Rhimes to former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
This book is a celebration of Smith’s design aesthetic, a flawless blend of European classicism and American modernism. The projects range from a contemporary beach house in East Hampton to a Moroccan-influenced Mallorca escape, as well as two of Michael’s own homes, including his extraordinary apartment in a nineteenth-century palace in Madrid. Smith shares his inspirations and design process, and explores what makes a room truly comfortable: Can people relax on the seating? Is the furniture arranged to encourage conversation? Is there enough light, and is it flattering?
The book is both an inspiration and an education, from a virtuoso of design.

Sudpsuez Painting in Stone: Architecture and the Poetics of Marble from Antiquity to the Enlightenment by Fabio Barry
Words by Fabio Barry
A sweeping history of premodern architecture told through the material of stone
Spanning almost five millennia, Painting in Stone tells a new history of premodern architecture through the material of precious stone. Lavishly illustrated examples include the synthetic gems used to simulate Sumerian and Egyptian heavens; the marble temples and mansions of Greece and Rome; the painted palaces and polychrome marble chapels of early modern Italy; and the multimedia revival in 19th-century England. Poetry, the lens for understanding costly marbles as an artistic medium, summoned a spectrum of imaginative associations and responses, from princes and patriarchs to the populace. Three salient themes sustained this “lithic imagination”: marbles as images of their own elemental substance according to premodern concepts of matter and geology; the perceived indwelling of astral light in earthly stones; and the enduring belief that colored marbles exhibited a form of natural—or divine—painting, thanks to their vivacious veining, rainbow palette, and chance images.
Sudpsuez Palm Beach Living by Jennifer Ash Rudick
Words by Jennifer Ash Rudick
Photographs by Nick Mele
Explore the pleasures of life in the homes and gardens of the legendary tropical island of Palm Beach.
Could it be the subtropical climate and seaside breezes that have drawn multiple generations to Palm Beach for more than a century? Or does its timeless appeal lie in its unique mixture of charming bungalows, sleek minimalist houses, chic apartments, and iconic Mediterranean Revival residences by such legendary architects as Maurice Fatio and John Volk? Though the nation’s most exclusive barrier island is perennially thronged with visitors, few have seen the private homes and gardens showcased in Palm Beach Living. Some of the homes incorporate the exuberant colors of the island’s tropical flora; others opt for a soothing, more neutral palette to contrast with the surrounding landscape. All embrace indoor/outdoor living, and each reflects the singular aesthetic of the owner, realized with the help of renowned architects, including Fairfax & Sammons, Chris Stone and David Fox, Daniel Kahan, and Jeffrey W. Smith; superb landscape architects such as Mario Nievera, Jorge Sánchez, and Fernando Wong; and such world-class interior designers as Tom Scheerer, Mark D. Sikes, the late Carleton Varney, Frank de Biasi, Mimi McMakin, Amanda Lindroth, Kim Coleman, and Jonathan Adler. Expertly guided by native Palm Beacher Jennifer Ash Rudick, with photographs by Nick Mele, readers are granted an intimate look at the best in tropical living.

Sudpsuez Pastoral Gardens
Words by Clare Foster
Images by Andrew Montgomery
Pastoral Gardens is a unique and ground-breaking book that crosses the boundaries of art, photography and design to explore some of the world's most beautiful, nature-led gardens. The pastoral garden is an intriguing contradiction. The word conjures up a rural idyll, with Hardyesque visions of a wild, untainted landscape - an idea that goes against the manicured expectation of formal or 'designed' green spaces. But our warming climate is propelling a monumental change in how we garden. Around the globe, garden-makers are responding to this new reality by creating remarkable, plant-filled spaces that are inspired by the untamed landscapes around us, building back habitats and increasing the biodiversity that has been lost.
Celebrating the astonishing beauty of wild landscapes, this book shows how we as humans can harness nature in our own gardens, exploring 20 gardens that embrace this bucolic ideal. Created by leading landscape designers, these gardens respond directly to the beauty of our natural habitats, with wildflower meadows and grazing cattle integrated into holistic spaces where the boundaries between a conventional garden and the wider landscape disappear. For the gardens that do not have the luxury of a rural outlook, it is the biodiversity within them that links their human occupants with nature.
Pastoral Gardens will appeal to lovers of art, photography and the natural world as much as it will to gardeners, designers and plantspeople. The essence of each garden is captured in over 250 breathtaking photographs by Andrew Montgomery with illuminating texts by Clare Foster exploring the history, design and planting of each garden. Four additional essays by Jinny Blom, Nigel Dunnett, Kim Wilkie and Tom Stuart-Smith consider the changing nature of garden design as the climate changes around us.

Sudpsuez Patchwork A World Tour by Catherine Legrand
Words by Catherine Legrand
A vibrant, in-depth survey of the techniques and traditions of patchwork around the world.
What do Korean bojagi wrapping cloths, Cameroonian Bamileke boubous, Peruvian montera hats, and Hungarian cifraszür shepherd cloaks have in common? Each is made using the ancient technique of patchwork―the art of juxtaposing fabrics and motifs to create blankets, clothes, accessories, and more.
This volume follows Catherine Legrand as she sews together an ethnographic patchwork map. Legrand has spent many years traveling and researching textiles and has a deep knowledge of the techniques and traditions that characterize patchwork, enabling her to create an engaging fabric-inspired travelogue.
Pieced together much like the gorgeous textiles it portrays, Legrand’s beautifully illustrated history features over 300 dazzling photographs of patchwork from around the world and takes the reader from Europe and the Americas to Africa and Asia, where these ancient traditions survive, and patchwork is part of the fabric of everyday life. Textile artists, patchwork enthusiasts, and designers of all stripes will discover an endless source of inspiration.
