Soul: Interiors by Orlando Diaz-Azcuy (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780847872503)

The second monograph--the first having been published in 2009--on one of today's most celebrated designers, renowned for being one of the earliest creators of a modernism that is soft, warm, and lyrical.

San Francisco-based Orlando Diaz-Azcuy's mastery of the home interior has made him one of America's most renowned designers. Regarded by professionals as a "dean of interior design" and a pioneer of minimalist design since the early 1980s, Diaz-Azcuy has been a major influence in the worlds of interior architecture and design. Bringing soul to modernism is Diaz-Azcuy's greatest legacy, as well as the subject of this book. Each residence featured in these pages is essentially simple, functional and beautiful, achieved with exactitude, attention to detail and craftsmanship.

Diaz-Azcuy's elegantly composed rooms speak volumes for his spare, intelligent, and disciplined touch. His interiors--located in Miami and New York as well as San Francisco--combine architecturally clean lines and an urbane sensibility with smart flashes of bold color or a pedigreed period statement piece to balance a curated look. By orchestrating textural richness, honest materiality, and judiciously deployed global artifacts and art in perfectly calibrated measure, Diaz-Azcuy transforms modernism into something eminently livable, pioneering a new style that has become ubiquitous today.
