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. 200 colour and 25 b/w illustrations
