Oitoemponto: Interiors [9780847878376]

Overview

From an AD 100 duo, a vibrant volume offers a captivating exploration of their unique universe of glamourous interiors and rigorous flamboyance.

Since teaming up in the mid-nineties, Miranda and Bec have formed an inimitable design duo. To each project, they bring a depth of culture, an infectious joie de vivre, an unmistakable theatrical aesthetic, and a serious sense of fun. For Oitoemponto, a home should not just be beautiful, it should also be a gloriously decorated “machine,” meaning that it should function as perfectly as possible for its inhabitants: for nearly three decades, they have fulfilled a vision of refinement in which graphic boldness meets architectural rigor.  

The book presents Oitoemponto’s work method and inspirations, which range from eighteenth-century French interiors to Hollywood Regency, from an eccentric Swedish countess to movies like Barbarella and Rebecca. The chapters are structured by room typology, with striking visual juxtapositions that showcase projects from different parts of the world and different periods of their career. The texts transcribe their upbeat personalities, while also providing informative decorating tips such as how an entry hall should be designed as both a point of arrival and departure, or how to successfully combine objects and artworks.  

In keeping with Oitoemponto’s attitude, the volume is a beautiful piece of bookmaking with tipped-in pages, a cloth cover, and a jacket featuring an exclusive wallpaper design created for de Gournay.
