Overview

What began as the childhood pursuit of 'tiny bits of Eden' in Amarillo, Texas and developed into a deep personal connection with the art and architecture of Italy culminates in Matthew White's expansive Italy of My Dreams . Full of theatrical, bold exteriors, and interiors adorned with classical flourishes, each featured project is a unique testament to the designer's appreciation of Italian design. Worn reclaimed beams compliment sweeping Venetian doors, lush rooftop gardens recall the Southern Italian countryside - these are modern spaces steeped in an historic sensibility, yet free of replication or pastiche. While the locations change - from California Villas to a Palazzo in New York City - the designer's passion remains true, making Italy of My Dreams an intimate inspirational celebration of Italian style. AUTHOR: Matthew White is an American interior designer whose work has been featured in nearly every American shelter magazine. In 2003 he joined forces with Frank Webb, launching the design firm White Webb. He serves as President of the Board of Save Venice Inc., and currently lives in New York City. 200 colour, 25 b/w photographs
