G: Forever Green

Carlos Mota

Green is like water; it is everywhere, and we can’t live without it. Green is the color of nature and the environment. Green is life. Interior designer and style guru Carlos Mota has such a passion for green that he has now devoted an entire book to it, celebrating the color in all its manifold manifestations: in nature, food, fashion, jewelry, art, interiors, and architecture.

From the brilliant markings on a butter y’s wings to the feathers of a tropical bird’s breast, from Magritte’s oversized apple to the brocade drapery in the background of a Holbein portrait, from celadon to forest to emerald to acid to lime to kelly, the variety is astounding. Illustrated with Mota’s own photographs, as well as images by prominent photographers.

Objects of Desire

Maria Hummer-Tuttle Foreword by Edmund de Waal

Our home is an expression of ourselves in many ways, largely through the objects we accumulate. For Maria Hummer Tuttle, the objects she has collected over the years, from the priceless to the ea market nds, are precious not only for their beauty, uniqueness, and craftsmanship but also for their connections and resonance.

In this exquisitely illustrated book, she guides us through her three homes – a house on a hill overlooking Los Angeles, a pied à terre in New York, and a beach house north of Los Angeles – focusing our attention on objects ranging from an ancient Chinese horse sculpture to a Louis XV clock, a Wiener Werkstätte goblet to a Willem de Kooning painting, a 19th century silver lemon squeezer to late 20th century furniture by Italian designer Ettore Sottsass.
