The first book to focus on the solo residential work of the visionary
interior decorator Stephen Sills. Simultaneously classical and modern,
Stephen Sills’s design work is a dialogue between past and present.
Filled with luxurious fabrics, furnishings from across centuries, and
unusual finishes, his work is polished, seemingly effortless, and
quietly rich, with a muted color palette that serves as a brilliant foil
for modern art. In this striking, meditative volume, the follow-up to
his best-selling book Dwellings, Sills presents sixteen breathtaking
homes, gorgeously photographed by the legendary François Halard, in
locations as varied as a penthouse on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue, a modern
Aspen retreat, an estate on the North Shore of Long Island, and his own
country house in Bedford, New York (dubbed the "chicest house in
America" by Karl Lagerfeld). Common to them all is a sense of
atmosphere, point of view, and soul—the sense of a master craftsman at
work.
