Decors Barbares: The Enchanting Interiors of Nathalie Farman-Farma
Description
An enchanting design bible showcasing textile designer Nathalie Farman-Farma's much sought-after bohemian-inspired interior stylings A refreshing antidote to the contrived nature of much contemporary interior design, the textiles and decoration of Nathalie Farman-Farma have gained a devoted following among celebrity and socialite clients for their folkloric charm and romantic exuberance. Drawing on the enchantment of fairy tales and cultures spanning Persia, Central Asia, and Russia, Farman-Farma creates exquisitely detailed fabrics and uses them to conjure interiors infused with warmth and natural charisma. Farman-Farma's townhouse and studio in London and her family homes in Connecticut and Lake Tahoe feature in this captivating volume, forming the backdrop for her Décors Barbares range of fabrics, as well as her vast collection of antique textiles, costumes, and jewelry.Product Details

Reviews
"Décors Barbares costars [Farman-Farma's] personal spaces from the atelier at her London residence to an 1890s house in Greenwich, Connecticut. The addresses may be far-flung, but each celebrates her Silk Road chic with a spirited marriage of the vibrant palettes of Central Asia to the plum silhouettes of 19th-century Europe."--Architectural Digest
