Sudpsuez Magazine N19

$115.00

Covers by Loro Piana. Published April 2023.

We like to think of N19 as the Magicians’ issue, on account of a few people featured whose ‘special powers’ are very evident when it comes to interiors. Travel with us to Jacob, Lord Rothschild’s magical paradise on the island of Corfu; journey through the history and architectural splendour of Andalusia, and explore the stunning textiles and landscapes of Bulgaria. Lose yourself in Umberto Pasti’s dream-like house and gardens in Tangier, which, like a living creature, are constantly evolving and following their owner’s vision. Meet Geoffrey Bawa in Sri Lanka where the architect has created a spell-binding “story out of nothing”, and visit maker Deborah Needleman in upstate New York to marvel at her ‘magic wand’ - her hands - carefully weaving strands of willow and rush, creating timeless objects for everyday use.

Sudpsuez The House of a Lifetime: A Collector’s Journey in Tangier by Umberto Pasti

$65.00

Written by Umberto Pasti and Ngoc Minh Ngo

Foreword by Madison Cox

 

A photographic tour of an exceptional villa in Tangier with a special focus of its museum-worthy collections of Morrocan artworks and objects.

Saturated colors, intricate patterns, striking architecture: writer Umberto Pasti’s house and garden in Tangier is the ultimate example of a well-curated Moroccan villa, filled with museum-quality pieces of furniture, luminous textiles, rare tiles and ceramics, and other objets d’art worthy of a private museum. Set in a lush garden, the house offers glimpses of the serene landscapes and fountains through windows, archways and loggias, as well as Pasti’s scholarly collection of tiles and rare textiles from Africa, the Middle East, and southern Europe. Also on display are highly crafted wooden objects that Pasti has rescued from obscurity and destruction.

With evocative text and gorgeous specially commissioned photographs, this book offers a tour through one of the loveliest homes in Tangier, bringing to life the sophisticated fusion of Morocco’s multicultural blend of cultures. Anyone interested in interior design and scholarly collecting will be inspired by the masterful photographs of this gracious home and its masterful collection.
