Description

The accessibility and colours of the interiors in Havana Living Today will resonate with readers of World of Interiors, Architectural Digest and Elle Dcor while the first comprehensive view of an increasingly open Havana will appeal to any armchair traveller.

Havana Living Today presents the stylish homes that survived the Cuban revolution as well as celebrates the comfortable and stylish Havana interiors created in recent years. The thaw in diplomatic relations with the US ushers in a new phase in Cuba's history, and Havana Living Today is documenting the end of the post-Revolutionary elite and the beginning of a new era in Cuban home life and style.
