Sudpsuez The Queen of the Dolomites. Living in Cortina d’Ampezzo
Photographs by Mattia Aquila
The most exclusive interiors and iconic places of Cortina are told for the first time in a beautifully illustrated book.
An intimate look at wonderful chalets, huts and private homes, often inaccessible and lovingly lived, chests of objects that reveal anecdotes of famous families and intertwine luxury and family warmth, design and local traditions. The queen of the Dolomites. Living in Cortina d’Ampezzo, published by Marsilio Arte, opens the doors of some of the most exclusive homes of the pearl of the Dolomites, revealing its unmistakable lifestyle.
After An Invitation to Venice, Servane Giol accompanies the reader in a story entirely dedicated to Cortina, which ranges from sports to folklore traditions, from fine fabrics to typical materials, with many curiosities about the characters – writers, intellectuals, artists who helped build the myth of this magical town. Through the unpublished shots of Mattia Aquila, the reader can immerse himself in the intimacy and unique atmosphere of these homes, from the delightful salles de bain to the salons where the wood dominates and the taste for decoration, from the retro style kitchens with richly decorated tables to the sumptuous bedrooms, from unexpected angles with wonderful wooden stairs reinterpreted in a modern key, inlaid chairs, coffered ceilings, verandas, precious doors, up to the windows open on the lush green or whitewashed mountain.

Sudpsuez The Shakers: From Mount Lebanon to the World
Contributions by Stephen J. Stein and Jerry V. Grant and Michael S. Graham and Brother Arnold Hadd, Edited by Michael K. Komanecky
An important book on Shaker art and life, offering a fresh look at a style that has endured through centuries and continues to inspire designers and homeowners. This book presents the elegantly austere and simply styled objects of the Shakers in the context of their faith and community at Mount Lebanon, N.Y., the spiritual and administrative center of the Shaker world. Outstanding examples of furniture, textiles, tools, and other objects- drawn primarily from the collection of Shaker Museum | Mount Lebanon-bring the fascinating world of the Shakers to life. The book also explores the equally compelling material culture of Sabbathday Lake in New Gloucester, Maine, the last active Shaker community, and how this group of Shakers continued to thrive while other Shaker communities elsewhere gradually disappeared.
Accompanying a major exhibition organized by the Farnsworth Art Museum, this book presents a new and authentic perspective on the Shaker community. Specially commissioned photography, archival imagery, essays by prominent scholars, and a firsthand interview with a member of the Sabbathday Lake Shaker community deepen our understanding of this influential movement and style.

Sudpsuez The World of Atelier Vime : A Renaissance of Wicker and Style
Words by Benoît Rauzy and Anthony Watson and Marie Godfrain
Using natural materials—wicker, osier, rattan, rope—to create exquisite handwoven decorative objects, French lifestyle brand Atelier Vime has redefined luxury.
When Atelier Vime’s cofounders discovered that their eighteenth-century hôtel particulier had previously been a basket-weaving workshop, they dedicated themselves to reviving the vanishing artisanal craft. They replanted willow shrubs, hired local artisans, and designed a contemporary collection of decorative objects with their associate Raphaëlle Hanley. Karl Lagerfeld was an early admirer and, according to Architectural Digest, Atelier Vime swiftly became “the industry secret for designers.” Today, customers around the world—from private homeowners to notable designers including Pierre Yovanovich, Kelly Wearstler, Aerin Lauder, Jake Arnold, Virginia Tupker, and Beata Heuman—flock to La Maison Vime at Vallabrègues in Provence to source Vime’s unique home furnishings that are handmade in France.
The duo behind Atelier Vime invites readers to discover their idyllic universe in their homes across France, where their unusual color palettes—from periwinkle blue to burnished ocher—offer a striking backdrop for their Medici column vase, woven screens, rope lamps, and rattan furniture. Their personal collections include classical and modern art, antique textiles, Provençal ceramics, and miniature baskets, which are combined with their contemporary creations to form the signature Vime style. Bringing the ancestral savoir faire of basketry into the twenty-first century, using materials and methods that are as sustainable as they are sumptuous, Atelier Vime celebrates an impeccable lifestyle rooted in the synergic relationship between luxurious design and nature.

Sudpsuez Tibetan Rugs: The Rudi Molacek Collection
Words and Photographs by Rudi Molacek
Artist and photographer Rudi Molacek has assembled, with an artist's eye, an idiosyncratic collection of more than 300 Tibetan carpets, rugs, mats, seat-, bench- and saddle-covers. Between the 15th and the 20th centuries they were woven for both sacred and secular purposes by Tibetan nomads and villagers, and in the shadow of monastic centers across the Tibetan Plateau. The first volume presents Tibetan rugs intended for sitting, sleeping, meditation and horse riding, as well as those made to furnish the region's prestigious temples and monasteries ― an expression of the relative wealth and status of their owners. The second volume focuses on a group of so-called ‘Wangden' rural rugs, characterized by a unique weaving technique, some of which have been the subject of an illuminating exercise in radiocarbon dating to establish the antiquity of the tradition.
