Book Description

April 3, 2012
This striking book showcases fresh, contemporary interiors that reflect Jennifer Post’s “pure space” philosophy: a serene, meticulously organized volume that offers a peaceful break from a busy world. From lofts in New York City to Miami high-rises to Palm Beach villas, each interior is immaculately conceived, detailed, and constructed—the epitome of pure, tailored modernism.

In her own words, Post demonstrates how she transforms living environments into elegantly edited spaces, using clean lines, white surfaces that reflect natural light, and open areas that allow a home to breathe. Since the age of eight, when she traveled to neighbors’ houses offering to organize their closets and rearrange their rooms, Post has been dedicated to her pure aesthetic vision, resulting in a timeless body of work.

This is the first monograph on designer Post, who for a decade has been included among Architectural Digest’s coveted AD 100 list of the world’s top architects and designers.

I had never heard of Jennifer Post until I read about her book party in New York Social Diary. The cover had few words: Pure Space. Elegant Minimalism. The cover photo had a wall of glass. A penny dropped --- this book held clues for our next home.

I googled Jennifer Post. And discovered at "an home" piece about her on the same site. Turns out that she lives in a mostly white, stripped bare apartment in The Apthorp --- her apartment is a lot like the one I had, just a zillion times better done.

Better believe I rushed to get my hands on "Jennifer Post: Pure Space."

Post's signature is minimalism of a very high order. Her white paint isn't what you buy at Home Depot, it's a special, secret formula. She knocks walls down and repositions them, and not for the feng shui of it. Given her druthers, she banishes baseboards. And most furniture. And, for that matter, possessions.

"People think that minimalism is cold, but I show it as elegant, sophisticated, warm and inviting," she says. "My rooms are happy rooms --- whoever lives there is happy, People begin to realize how much more freedom they have. Once I'm done, they appreciate how much easier it is to live without two or three sets of plates."

And make no mistake: Her clients pay for the privilege. There are no scholarship cases among them; she's got Simon Cowell and Jennifer Lopez and zillionaires who look down on us from the heights of the Time-Warner tower. As she likes to say, she's not a BMW: "I'm a Bentley."

What do her clients see in white rooms with no wood in sight?

Peace. Serenity. Relief. And --- let's say it bluntly --- every kind of distance from the world and its vulgar little people.

What's in these 240 pages for us vulgar little people?

5.0 out of 5 stars The Wonder of White January 15, 2013
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Jennifer Post designs portray solitude, silence, and peace. When you view her homes, a sense of tranquility envelopes. you . It reminds me of observing pictures of some of the white architecture of the Greek islands
