Synopsis:

In their first book, Clements Design showcases eight outstanding residences that embody the Clements style: understated elegance, sensuous austerity, Zen\-like simplicity, easy glamour, and grand intimacy. Clements creates rarefied environments that are ultra\-luxurious but never pretentious. Instead, their pared\-down rooms are remarkably cosy and relaxed due to the blend of natural materials, muted colours, and matte surfaces and textures, especially from wood, stone, and nubby textiles perfect for the indoor\-outdoor lifestyle of their clients. A Clements home is the perfect backdrop for jaw\-dropping art collections that may include Picasso, Morandi, Warhol, and Twombly, and for entertaining in spacious, expansive rooms populated by Rick Owens daybeds, Prouve chairs, Giacometti light fixtures, Asian sculptures, and Persian rugs in pale shades, all blended with exceptional antiques carefully placed about the spaces. Serenity reigns over all, filling the viewer with a peaceful calm that is priceless. Personal accounts of working with Clements Design and living in their interiors from, among others, Ellen DeGeneres and Adam Levine, complement the glorious photography. Eight Houses: Clements Design offers a simple life set in an environment of exceeding high style and taste.

About the Author: Kathleen and Tommy Clements are the founders of Los Angeles-based interior design firm Clements Design. Mayer Rus is a design writer, critic, and the West Coast editor of Architectural Digest.
