In House

This luxurious and bold follow-up to Rooms presents the some of the most eccentric, lavish,and surprising interiors on the planet. This book will appeal to lovers of interiordesign and anyone interested in the life well lived. With In House, Derry Moore's acute eye, impeccable taste, and unrivaled eye for light are paired with the unique talents ofaward-winning graphic designer Jonathan Barnbrook to create a sumptuous and innovative look at the most extraordinary anddistinctive interiors around the world. Derry Moore, 12th Earl of Drogheda and a regular contributor to Nest and Architectural Digest magazines, has photographedover the course of his career some of the most unusual houses ever decorated. Here he presents twenty-five of the most surprisingand original homes he's photographed, reaching from the highlands of Scotland to northern Africa, from a country retreat inGreece to a magnificent palace in India, and from grand halls in Madrid to sombre apartments in New York. Many of the photographsof these extraordinary homes are published here for the first time: stark and incongruous images of an unlikely Art Decopalace in India are followed by intimate portraits of Gian Carlo Minotti's creative castle home in Scotland; astonishingly brightMoroccan mosaics are contrasted with the dark and musty museum-like home of one of London's most macabre collectors; andthe extravagant remnants of Madrid's aristocracy precede an intimate exploration of the Soane Museum. Jonathan Barnbrook's design is bold and playful and yet tangibly sympathetic to Moore's photography in a way that has neverbeen seen before. Drawing inspiration from the details of the interiors, the design for each house picks up its palette and modelsits type treatment on the photographs themselves, defining wondefully the character of each house and reflecting the diversity ofthis cosmopolitan selection. Their vision together has produced a book that is utterly unique in the world of interior photography,and a stunningly beautiful object in its own right.
