For over 25 years, Tricia Guild has been at the cutting edge of contemporary design. Her ability to mix vibrant color and pattern and her imaginative use of modern arts and crafts translates particularly well to city living. With the help of Elspeth Thompson’s stimulating essays and Gilles de Chabaneix’s luminous photos, Trisha Guild in Town presents a blueprint for modern urban living.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The Designers Guild, which Tricia Guild founded over 25-five years ago, is best known for its inventive use of bright, bold color combinations. Here Guild's remodeled London Victorian town house serves as an exemplar that reflects her feelings for unusual color combinations and modern design. The second half of the book presents homes in New York City and London that share Guild's sensibility. Photographed by Gilles de Chabaneix and described by Elspeth Thompson, the New York and London homes show restraint compared to Guild's chaotic use of color. A nice counterpoint to the country look; purchase where there is an interest in strong, bold, modern design.

This review is from: In Town: Contemporary Design for Urban Living (Hardcover)
BEAUTIFUL! , this book encouraged me to transform my old house without necessarily changing the beauty of it. Tricia Guild made me dare to bring new colors to my house and giving my family a bright place to live. THEY LOVED IT! .

Much better than her other books in her use of bold, imaginative color. Not for the timid. Don't worry about the urban bit, good design is welcome everywhere :-)

This review is from: In Town: Contemporary Design for Urban Living (Hardcover)
I was not impressed with this book, and I like color. The text was not useful. If there are no tips or they are not informative, I will still buy a book if it has beautiful pictures. However, I was not creatively inspired by this book. I think the design choices are boring. I'm glad I did not buy this book. Other resource:
