Rhapsody | Kelly Wearstler
Kelly Wearstler's newest book is an encompassing look at the scope of her work. The content includes her most recent, not yet published, interior projects which include residential properties, including her own new house, Viceroy Anguilla and her Los Angeles flagship boutique (opened this fall). Celebrated for luxurious interiors that capture the swankiness of oldworld Hollywood with a modern pop sensibility, Wearstler is known for her decadent designs of residences and boutique hotels, such as the line of Viceroys and the tastemakers Maison 140 and Avalon. Her ornate interiors are distinctive for layers of bold textures, patterns, and rich colors juxtaposed with lustrous surfaces, adding up to a whimsical and elegant look that has been called "mod baroque." This volume offers a look into Wearstler's glamorous world, profiling in detail her latest residential designs (previously unpublished) and her sumptuous new hotels, as well as her creative process. The book also follows the designer--known for her striking personal style--behind the scenes to watch her at work, creating sculpture at her metal foundry or shopping at auction houses, to reveal the myriad inspirations that fuel Wearstler's imagination and her dazzling design work. With beautiful images of many never-before-photographed interiors, is an inspirational look at one of the most irreverent and fascinating designers working today, celebrating the breadth of her creations.
