Architect Adams has long had a passion for design. His appreciation for how things are made had its genesis in his childhood experiences on a farm in Asheville, North Carolina. As a boy, Adams always had a pencil in hand, sketching for hours. Today, it is his understanding of craft and response to place that sets him apart. Informed by Adams’s deep knowledge of historic precedents, proportions, and details, the homes featured in this book are imbued with soul, whether it’s a charming house in the woods on the lake, a refined contemporary beachside retreat, or a traditional manor house in town. While the homes featured range in scale and style— Tudor, Arts and Crafts, French country, Southern farmhouse—Adams imbues each with natural materials such as bespoke architectural details in millwork and molding, arched doorways, and oversized windows. He brilliantly weaves wood, stone, copper, and other natural substances through the interiors to create an effect that casts a spell inside and out. These are houses that are grounded in the past, designed for the present, and intended to remain beautiful and functional over the long term.

Grandes viajeros y entusiastas de la naturaleza, Hokusai e Hiroshige revolucionaron el grabado japonés a partir de finales del siglo xviii, llevando el paisajismo a su apogeo. A través de las estaciones, estos artistas y sus sucesores rinden homenaje a una naturaleza deslumbrante y eterna que se encuentra en el corazón del pensamiento y la cultura japoneses, y nos invitan a redescubrir la belleza sencilla del cerezo en flor, a saborear la frescura de una tarde de otoño, a contemplar las primeras nieves inmaculadas, a dejarse sorprender por el ligero vuelo de un pájaro... en suma, a «vivir el momento presente». Inserto en un bonito cofre, este volumen en forma de acordeón, a modo de antiguo libro japonés, reúne una antología de los grabados más famosos de los grandes paisajistas, desde la época de Hokusai hasta la de Hasui, y acompañados por un opúsculo explicativo.

This book celebrates the 1925 Paris Exposition—at its centenary—a landmark event that shaped twentieth-century design and gave its name to Art Deco. The exposition dazzled over sixteen million visitors during its run, showcasing the pinnacle of French luxury goods and design innovation. Renowned as the preeminent exponent of French Art Deco, Ruhlmann (1879–1933) was recognized for the aesthetic refinement, luxurious materials, and impeccable craftsmanship of his creations. Inspired by eighteenth-century pleasure pavilions, Ruhlmann’s pavilion, L’Hôtel du Collectionneur (The Town House of the Collector), was one of the most admired exhibits at the fair. Conceived as a modern-day Trianon, it was filled with his own sumptuous furnishings together with a meticulous selection of objets d’art by his contemporaries, including Edgar Brandt, Jean Dunand, and Jean Puiforcat.
