Description

Acclaimed for popularizing modernism with mainstream American homeowners, Hunt curated and created chic modern furniture that made high-end design accessible to audiences beyond New York and Los Angeles. An influential figure on the design scene since the1980s, Hunt is recognized for being the first to design gallery-like showrooms with a mix of high-end furnishings and art. Hunt s signature design line, with its focus on craftsmanship, exacting proportions, and impeccable materials, is credited with elevating standards across the design world. This momentous volume showcases Hunt s nearly forty years of collections of furniture, lighting, and textiles, as well as her partnerships with the designers she championed, such as the French minimalist Christian Liaigre, whom she introduced to an American audience. Also included are Hunt s homes from her Chicago apartment overlooking Lake Michigan to her never-before-published modernist masterpiece in Aspen as well as her acclaimed renovation of The Little Nell boutique hotel in Aspen. The first book on this tour-de-force, Holly Hunt is a lavish and comprehensive monograph on one of the most influential design figures of our time.
