Paris Interiors

by Lisa Lovatt-Smith

Taschen


These two books are so gorgeous we'd be happy to fall headfirst into any of their 600 some combined pages. Dazzling with excellent photos of over 90 Parisian and Moroccan homes, these are dreamboat wish books in four languages: English, French, German and the language of inspired decor.

The Morocco book features an array of styles from the southern rural pise architecture to the Hispano-Moresque of the imperial cities, Marrakech palaces and even the harvester's tents and fishermen's homes in their classic simplicity.

The Paris book looks at the fashions and preferences of prominent, stylish or just plain cool Parisians such as Isabelle Adjani, Gilles Dufour, Mony Lintz-Einstein and Helena Christensen. These interiors, welcoming, glamorous and artful, are seen in this volume much as George Sand saw Paris itself, "mad and subdued, where the unforeseen has always reigned supreme."
