Product Information
From the Publisher
From the Foreword:
"Certain words come to mind as I page through this book—words like openness, inclusion, diversity, collaboration. Yes, the spaces in this volume, chosen by the editors of Architectural Digest around the globe, are an escapist delight. They are as elegant, sophisticated, dramatic, and gloriously playful as any rooms you’re likely to see. But taken together they suggest to me more than a series of masterworks in the art of interior design. They suggest a powerful new way of looking at the world and how to live in it." —Anna Wintour Editor-in-Chief, Vogue
