Fantasy viewing...

A visual treat for anyone who appreciates a bit of fantasy and/or enchantment in our living environments... A look into spaces (both personal and commissioned including some very famous and luxurious hotels) designed by some of the worlds most creative designers, architects, artists, etc. like: Philip Starck, Mary McFadden, Mattthew Williamson, and my favorite... the home of artist Michelle Oka Doner whose sculptural creations (inspired by nature) are integral to her gold gilded and pure white environment. This is not a "how to" book by any means... Rather a journey to exotic and indulgent places... A feast for the eyes and imagination!
