Reviews
The book, whose large-format photographs bear first-hand witness to the firm's singular ability to create a modern style that feels both sumptuous and minimalist, launches October 11, just in advance of the museum's opening, later this month. A particularly special part of the book is its sweeping look into Studio KO's residential oeuvre, a collection of materially sophisticated homes nestled into idyllic landscapes around the world. --Architectural Digest A feast for the eyes, this captivating volume is certainly a must-have for any design library, but will also be truly enjoyed by architects who genuinely value larger questions about living a meaningful life --Identity One reason for Studio KO's growing fame is their interiors, for everything from luxury apartments to hotels, such as AndreÌ Balazs's fantastically buzzy Chiltern Firehouse in London. The monograph, however, focuses on their first love, architecture, including their French and Moroccan villas and the Yves Saint Laurent museum. --Departures A feast for the eyes, this captivating volume is certainly a must-have for any design library, but will also be truly enjoyed by architects who genuinely value larger questions about living a meaningful life --Identity
