Living in color Color in contemporary interior design

Curated by well-known design authorities Mahdavi, a scenographer slash architect slash designer, and Paul, a former executive at New York City's Museum of Modern Art, this color-by-color photographic display of highly designed rooms zeroes in on the aesthetic ranges possible with just one or a few colors in the same family. More than 200 palettes and arrangements splash across these pages--first, as individual settings, and second, in microphotographs by color. Images are credited by room, location, date, interior designer, and architect, but the emphasis here is on the visual and color ideas conveyed. A flip-the-pages book of sorts, this provides a high-end marker for those who need inspiration, not direction. Appendices include a directory of designers and a directory of locations.
