An unprecedented level of craft is the key signature of Uniacke's design ethos, on display in this much-anticipated monograph of notable homes she has created.
In-demand London-based interiors and furniture designer Rose Uniacke beautifully showcases a number of homes she has designed, boasting clean lines and calm, light-filled spaces, and showrooms defined by an effortless blend of traditional details within contemporary spaces. Whether the project is an urban townhouse, a seaside retreat, or a London villa, the approach of Uniacke is always the same-a collaboration with clients to make understated, refined sanctuaries that offer the perfect settings for everyday life. The book is sumptuously illustrated with two hundred color photographs that truly capture the serenity and timelessness of Uniacke's hand-hewn cultivated style.
The pages of this book exude the same warmth of a Uniacke interior, heightened by the author's own words as she describes in detail the specifics of each of the thirteen projects explored. The result is akin to an informal conversation, with Uniacke revisiting her journey to share instincts and inspirations. A complete index of Rose Uniacke Editions, the designer's furniture, lighting, and textiles, completes this elegant volume.
Airy and light, delicate and robust, grand and intimate, raw and luxurious: these are just some of the qualities and contradictions that resonate within the work and home of Rose Uniacke. This sumptuous volume, the first on the designer, has been conceived with Uniacke to her bespoke specifications. Masterfully photographed by Francois Halard, the book unfolds gatefold after gatefold as a series of privileged glimpses inside Uniacke s home, with the designer s own words as our guide an intimate and exclusive portrait of a home rarely gained access to as well as a window onto the workings of one of our leading design minds. Her work is distinguished by warmth, character, and an extraordinary serenity, and mirroring these qualities the book is a luxury object made from some of the same materials featured in Uniacke s home: a unique cotton duck canvas slipcase houses the book itself, which is wrapped in pure new wool. Completing this indispensable book in design history are texts from the architect of Uniacke s home, Vincent Van Duysen, and her landscape architect, Tom Stuart-Smith.
