凯瑟琳·克莱门茨(Kathleen Clements)和汤米·克莱门茨(Tommy Clements),这对母子团队创立了室内设计工作室Clements Design,他们的设计风格简约而奢华,富有层次感,融合了加州风情的轻松氛围,受到明星客户的追捧,包括艾伦·德杰尼勒斯、亚当·莱文、布鲁诺·马斯、肯德尔·詹纳和珍妮弗·劳伦斯等。
这是该工作室的首部著作,Clements Design在书中展示了八个体现Clements风格的杰出住宅:低调而优雅、感性而朴素、禅宗般简约、轻松而迷人、宏大而亲密。Clements创造了极度奢华的环境,但绝不矫揉造作。相反,由于融合了天然材料、柔和色彩、哑光表面纹理,特别是木材、石头以及柔软纺织品,他们设计的住宅非常简约舒适且放松,非常适合客户的室内外生活。Clements设计的家能够很好地与大师艺术作品交相辉映,如毕加索、莫兰迪、沃霍尔、通布利的作品,也非常适合在宽敞的房间里娱乐活动,这些房间里有瑞克·欧文斯的日光床、普鲁威的椅子、贾科梅蒂的灯具、亚洲雕塑、浅色波斯地毯,所有这些都与精心放置的特殊古董相融合。宁静支配着一切,让观众感到了无价的和平与平静。
艾伦·德杰尼勒斯、亚当·莱文等人讲述了他们与Clements Design设计工作室合作的感受,与这部辉煌的摄影作品相得益彰。本书提供了一个拥有高级风格品位的简约生活环境。
The mother-and-
son founders of powerhouse interior design firm Clements Design have mastered interiors of a spare yet sumptuous sophistication mixed with California ease that are highly sought after by a star-
studded clientele, including Ellen DeGeneres, Adam Levine, Bruno Mars, Kendall Jenner, and Jennifer Lawrence.
In their first book, Clements Design showcases eight outstanding residences that embody the Clements style: understated elegance, sensuous austerity, Zen-like simplicity, easy glamour, and grand intimacy. Clements creates rarefied environments that are ultra-luxurious but never pretentious. Instead, their pared-down rooms are remarkably cozy and relaxed due to the blend of natural materials, muted colors, and matte surfaces and textures, especially from wood, stone, and nubby textiles—perfect for the indoor-
outdoor lifestyle of their clients. A Clements home is the perfect backdrop for jaw-dropping art collections that may include Picasso, Morandi, Warhol, and Twombly, and for entertaining in spacious, expansive rooms populated by Rick Owens daybeds, Prouvé chairs, Giacometti light fixtures, Asian sculptures, and Persian rugs in pale shades, all blended with exceptional antiques carefully placed about the spaces. Serenity reigns over all, filling the viewer with a peaceful calm that is priceless.
Personal accounts of working with Clements Design and living in their interiors from, among others, Ellen DeGeneres and Adam Levine, complement the glorious photography. Eight Houses: Clements Design offers a simple life set in an environment of exceeding high style and taste.
