The House of Glam: Lush Interiors and Design Extravaganza

Published by Gestalten, The House of Glam: Lush Interiors and Design Extravaganza offers a glimpse into the world of maximalist decor. As a protest to modern minimalism, more and more people want to decorate their homes with vivid colours and patterns, boldly playing with shapes and materials and combining features of different styles. Complete with plentiful illustrations, The House of Glam showcases abundantly colourful homes where more truly is more.

Welcome to The House of Glam — Lush Interiors & Design Extravaganza. Challenging convention with maximalist flair, expect to see custom wallpapers, elegant fabrics, and rich marble, as well as mid-century design icons, geometry and echoes of Memphis. A new, young generation of interior designers like David Alhadeff, Cristina Celestino and Nina Yashar with an emphasis on personality are creating homes that aspire to be as unique as their inhabitants, propelling residential design into the future.

This diverse architectural landscape of the book is a feast for the eyes, where expressive colors, textures, unusual forms, and exotic materials combine to create a contemporary interpretation of an art deco or classic 1950s Hollywood film set interior. After all, designers are innate history buffs and there is a wealth of history in architecture, decorative arts, fashion, and film through the ages to cherry pick and play with. These homes dream big.

The House of Glam invites you into the most exciting homes, from Italy to the USA, that embody this decadent, playful trend, profiling key studios and designers at the forefront of the movement.
