Iconic Home: Interiors, Advice, and Stories from 50 Amazing Black Designers

Prix de vente$63

Iconic Home: Interiors, Advice, and Stories from 50 Amazing Black Designers, from Black Interior Designers, Inc. and author Ashley June Reese, is the interior design book that puts the designers behind the rooms at the centre.

For the person who sees a room they love and wants to understand the thinking behind it, from Black designers across Canada and the United States. This is that book.

In 2010, Black Interior Designers, Inc. (BID) began to unite, connect, and promote Black designers, bringing their projects into the spotlight. Iconic Home carries that work onto the page. Ashley June Reese pairs each designer's interiors with their personal story, including their challenges, triumphs, design philosophies, and creative influences.

The 50 designers include Brenda Danso, Michael London, Justina Blakeney, Corey Damen Jenkins, Keia McSwain, Brigette Romanek, Bridgid Coulter, Forbes and Masters, General Judd, and Adair Curtis and Jason Bolden of JSN Studio. Each feature combines a short biography, a Q&A, and photographs of their interiors, across a wide range of styles. The result is a behind-the-scenes look at what it means to be a designer of colour working in the industry today.

For the considered collector and the home decorator alike, it is also a source of ideas. The designers share their advice on layering a room, working with colour and texture, lighting, and bringing the outdoors in.
