Description

In the tradition of Rizzoli's Jeffrey Bilhuber and Michael Smith's The Curated House, The Houses That We Dreamt Of is the long-awaited monograph on the homes of Reed and Delphine Krakoff. While some of their houses have been previously published to acclaim, others are presented here for the first time. These interiors combine old-world elegance (Delphine is an Parisian-trained interior designer) with cutting-edge and often one-of-a-kind 20th-century furnishings from the likes of the Lalannes and Marc Newson.

Combining the sophistication of high-end interiors, the innovation of vintage and contemporary furniture and art, and the glamour of fashion, the homes of Reed and Delphine Krakoff are grand in their refinement, personal in their outlook, and unforgettable in their presentation.

Reviews

" 'Houses That We Dreamt of: The Interiors of Delphine and Reed Krakoff' (Rizzoli, $60, 256 pp.) transports readers from Paris to Palm Beach to East Hampton, where each residence an exercise in the quiet appeal of monochrome enlivened by cheeky pops of color, pattern and whimsy receives a tribute from such fashion- and art-world heavyweights as Martha Stewart, Simon Doonan of Barneys New York and Hamish Bowles of Vogue."
