Editorial Reviews: Fourteen years after the first volume in the highly acclaimed Interiors series comes the first of our all-new updated titles: New Paris Interiors. The city of light is a place of persistent beauty, from the Tuileries gardens to the banks of the Seine to the heights of Montmartre. But the restrained palette of beige and stone painted by the city's noble architecture may leave one wondering if Parisians are color-impaired. Fear not--for New Paris Interiors, Angelika Taschen has brought together a selection of apartments so astonishing, so surprising, and so inspiring that you very well might not know what hit you. Think texture, think dynamic space, think eclectic, think vivid colors--these interiors are packed floor to ceiling with new ideas, unexpected pleasures, and prime examples of 21st century living. Architect India Mahdavi, French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld, auctioneer Simon de Pury, shoemaker Christian Louboutin, gallerists Philippe Jousse and Didier and Cleménce Krzentowski, fashion designer Rick Owens, and many more of the city's most interesting personalities have opened their doors for this breathtaking collection of resplendent Parisian homes.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: One of the most beautiful books I own Comment: This book is gorgeous and inspiring and is the most attractive and valuable book I own. I adore it. Many different styles within Parisian life to satisfy. Artistic and eclectic. Makes you want to move to Paris and never come back. Customer Rating: Summary: Low profile interiors Comment: I was very satisfied when I purchased New York Interiors and thought I would be very happy with this volume too. But among all the interiors displayed there may be three of objective interest while the others seem as a vague kitsch parade of the owner's tastes. If you are as me looking for good interior design ideas I'd say you can do without this book,while some solutions(not architectural,but of furnishing)might be funny or interesting they really don't give a good insight of what's going on in the design world as they seem more some kinds of weird "wunderkammer" than contemporary projects. Buy this book if you like to fancy about Paris,the apartements owner's life and stuff,but let go if you are looking for inspiration. Excuse me the bad enslish! Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent showcase of Paris interiors Comment: This book is an excellent viewbook if you want to get a taste of contemporary Paris interiors. It has very modern, a bit more classic and very chic interiors as well. The photos are all full page and very well made, high quality. A fun book to flip through and get inspiration from! Customer Rating: Summary: How the other half lives... Comment: I'm going to love poring over this book over and over again. It's impossible to look through it all at once, anyway, it's so big and the visual onslaught is overwhelming. Being a middle-class, Great Plains middle-aged person, I will never see these apartments and rooms myself, but it's fun to see how world-class artists, musicians, actors, directors, designers and financiers like to decorate their homes. Some of them, I swear, are compulsive collectors - stuff *everywhere*! Most are beautiful rooms, lending lots of ideas or at least daydreams for one's own home. The photography is lovely; the text is in blocks of English, French, and German, so if you want to practice your French or German, this is a fun way to do it. If you're a Francophile, like me, it's entertaining and educational peering through those windows out to the Parisian sights. My only complaint is how huge the book is; it's not a lap-book, that's for sure. It is definitely worth the money, in my opinion.
