Andree Putman: Complete Works

Andree Putman is one of the touchstone designers in today's competitive market, with projects in Paris to New York to Dubai and Shanghai. This beautiful book is the most comprehensive monograph of Putman's work to date, looking at her hotels and residences,including the famous Morgans Hotel, considered to be the first boutique hotel; commercial interiors and restaurants, such as boutiques for Yves Saint Laurent; offices and exhibition designs--such as her design for Jack Lang, the French Mister of Culture; and furniture and product designs. Putman is considered to be the reason for the revival of once-forgotten early Modernist designers such as Eileen Gray, Robert Mallet-Stevens and Jean-Michel Frank, whose designs she put back into production and used in her famous interiors. Lavish illustrations accompany texts on each project as well as texts from Putman herself on luxury, travel, materiality and other topics.
