Description
A-list interior designer Peter Dunham's first book reveals his singular approach to colorful, pattern-filled interiors with world-class photography of never-before-seen projects
Peter Dunham is a Los Angeles-based interior designer known for his bold use of color and pattern and a sophisticated yet laid-back style. The Wall Street Journal described his work as "Merchant Ivory Moderne." The World of Peter Dunham, written by Dunham himself, features the best of his design projects, many never seen before -from chic New York penthouses to romantic Old California gems, as well as his own homes, including a magical Paris pied-a-terre. There's a modernist Marmol Radziner house overlooking the Pacific in Montecito; beach houses in Orange County and mountain houses in Colorado and Montana; and a 1963 Horace Gifford modernist icon on Fire Island. You'll meet the people and places that have shaped his point of view and discover the unique way he thinks about interior design. Dunham believes every successful house needs certain ingredients: Color, Rhythm, Charm, Togetherness, Refuge, Nature, and more. He tells you why each is essential and how to get it. Here's a dynamic mix of cottages and apartments, grand old houses and sleek new ones, all presented in stunning photographs, all built on Dunham's internationally acclaimed textiles and furnishings from Hollywood at Home, his legendary shop that's a centerpiece of the Los Angeles design world.
