Architecture, Robert Couturier

A DESIGN BOOK ABOVE THE REST

Robert Couturier has been featured on this blog before.  The French born interior designer and architect consistently wows with his unique style.  His new book features his amazing designs and opens with his amazing Kent, Connecticut home which I follow religiously on instagram.  Definitely worth the read.  Here are just a few reviews:

“Many in the design field consider themselves mix masters, but interior decorator and architect Robert Couturier’s adventurous spirit and in-depth knowledge of antiques result in the most astounding combinations. His first monograph, Robert Couturier: Designing Paradises, shows that this Paris-born, Manhattan-based talent can delight and enlighten while breaking all the rules.” –Architectural Digest

“The title says it all: Robert Couturier: Designing Paradises provides an entry to the refined world of this French-born, American-based interiors star. The tome opens with the designer’s own home — a country retreat in Kent, Conn., whose rooms are dressed with a carefully curated mix of antique French furniture and Early American pieces. Also featured: one of Couturier’s most famous projects — a 20,000-acre Mexican resort that he designed for English entrepreneur James Goldsmith — as well as his polished contemporary designs for Manhattan high-rise apartments.” –The New York Post

“In a time when finesse often takes a backseat to invention, I find his straightforwardness incredibly refreshing. And let’s be honest — even I need a reminder sometimes! This body of work demonstrates that coloring inside the lines can still be a wonderfully creative pursuit.” –Martha Stewart Living
