Years ago, when this bath first appeared in print, we were simply awed. There are countless extraordinary details from the size and scale of the space to the lovely natural light. At a time when white was the prevailing theme for baths (actually, it still is) this was a bold statement using period details, exceptional materials and deliberate architecture. I find the design as compelling today as the day I first laid eyes on it.

Tomorrow I leave for a 10 day holiday in Paris. The highlight of this long awaited vacation will be a 4 day walking walking tour (with friends and guides) studying classical architectural treasures, some not readily accessible to the public. Of course, I look forward to sharing some of my photos when I return after Labor Day. Happy end of summer!

In 2012 Miles Redd created THE BIG BOOK OF CHIC, published by Assouline. His sophisticated and unique style is both playful and glamorous; it mixes high and low, a strong sense of color  and modern gestures. The entire text, quotes from famous artists, actors and authors, is printed in red and black large scale font. Graphically, it is an engaging format and the full page photographs in both color and black and white give the reader an insight into Miles’ very personal blend of work and fantasy.

For years I have been extolling the beauty of stone for the bath. It is a natural material that comes in a huge range of sizes and colors with multiple opportunities for different surface textures. It is durable, timeless, refined and only improves with age. Clearly, I love stone. Not only is it the perfect material for the bath, but it is perfect for the entry or foyer of the house.
