Yet a strong sense still pervades every featured home that they are organized to support modern lifestyles, taking the best of the past and adapting it to create homes that are truly comfortable and functional for today's families.

My Life in Colors
Martin Brudnizki's maximalist style and ability to transform high-profile venues into iconic spaces have earned him a prestigious reputation internationally. This debut book explores how the celebrated designer uses the language of color to create glamorous interiors that are both opulent and deeply resonant, where every shade tells a singular story. For Brudnizki, color is an essential ingredient for storytelling and conjuring atmosphere. Color is a force that brings his spaces to life, defining them, and enhancing the experience within them; it is a character in itself and Brudnizki uses it to blur the lines between eras and styles, to marry heritage with modern luxury. From the fantasy-full and decadent rococo interiors of London members club Annabel's to the soft, muted palette of the Splendido's Baronessa Suite and the Parisian spirit of the restaurant at New York's outpost of Fouquet's, Brudnizki's signature paintbrush imbues his interiors with idiosyncrasy and flair. In this enchanting volume, the designer draws inspiration from nature, art, fashion, and history to show us how color influences his life and work. The charming design of the book brings the magic of his world to life: classical busts are unmoored from their pedestals, silky peonies embellish texts, candelabras glow, and birds flutter free from their frescoes and travel with us for pages. Each chapter is devoted to a single color, illuminating how Brudnizki leverages the emotional power of color to enhance the overwhelmingly beautiful and luxurious spaces he creates.
