Viac o knihe

The book will be the most comprehensive monograph of Putman's work to date, with individual chapters on 1) hotels and residences, include the famous Morgans Hotel, considered to be the first boutique hotel; 2) commercial interiors and restaurants, such as boutiques for Yves Saint Laurent; 3) offices and exhibition designs--such as her design for Jack Lang, the French Mister of Culture; and 5) and furniture and product designs (Putman is also credited for revival of once-forgotten early Modernist designers such as Eileen Gray, Robert Mallet-Stevens, and Jean-Michel Frank, whose designs she put back into production and used in her famous interiors). Major projects are lavishly illustrated. Major texts include the first serious study of her work by Donald Albrecht as well as texts from Putman herself on luxury, travel, materiality, and other topics.
