Editorial Reviews

Review

"Ideal for friends who long to be inspired and are in love with living in colour." Mail on Sunday You Magazine "The best mix of the aspirational and the accessible." Sunday Times "Anyone bored of the fashion for endless variations on 'neutral', who craves an injection of pattern and saturated colour might benefit from flicking through Guild's scrapbook for inspiration." Daily Telegraph Magazine"

Product Description

For over 30 years London-based interior designer and Designers Guild founder Tricia Guild has looked to the world's beauty for design ideas. Her book "Inspiration" is a captivating collection of her passions - art and music; architecture and design; theater and opera; novels and poetry; food; flowers and gardening; the broad sweep of landscape and the miraculous minutiae of nature; texture and form; light and shadow; and color. "Wherever we go we are taking in glimpses, impressions, of the world around us, and I believe that these images go deep into our psyches, become part of our own energy and imagination," she writes. Her passions range from the art of Frida Kahlo to the colors of India, from hydrangeas to butterfly wings. James Merrell's photographs juxtapose raw muses with finished objects and the lovely presentation of these images encourages readers to reflect upon the beauty of this world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiration by Tricia Guild, May 10, 2009

By	Teresa Eun Young Kwon "bookwormgrl" (Saratoga, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Tricia Guild's colors carry a bright and bold color palette. This book is no exception, with images which spark the sense. There are bits of color swatches with pictures of fabric pattern, fruits, flowers and furniture. It is a brightly festive book filled with celebrations of beautiful things in life including parrakeets, lemons, herbs and verandas. I will look over this book over and over again for inspiration as I do her Country colors. two thumbs up!
