Recensione:
"A lush monograph just out from Rizzoli, with text by Marcus Binney. . . [Anouska Hempel] features a number of projects Hempel has done over the years, beginning with Blakes hotel in London, the project that launched her design career more than 40 years ago. A bold design statement, the hotel also became a social phenomenon." -Vanity Fair
"If anyone could turn the stuffy, staid tassel into a totem of cool, it's Anouska Hempel, also known as Lady Weinberg. . . . Perhaps my favorite examples, though - spied in a new monograph of her work ([from] Rizzoli) - are at the Blakes Hotel in London, which opened in 1978 and is regarded as one of the world's first boutique hotels." -Wall Street Journal
"A new monograph on her work attempts to decode her complex style. A chapter on Hempel’s inspirations cites everything from 'Water' and 'Masculinity' to 'Thailand and Color.' What makes this approach difficult is also what makes the book visually interesting — Hempel’s astonishing range, from the dark and moody neo-Classicism of Blakes, considered by many to be the first boutique hotel when it opened in 1978, to the stark whiteness of the Hempel, a row of townhouses near Hyde Park transformed into a shrine to minimalism in 1997." -New York Times Magazine
"This tome gives an in-depth look at how the London-based talent layers her evocative spaces with historical details, rich textures, and saturated tones." -Architectural Digest
"Whether her interiors are opulent and layered or pared down and sleek, Anouska Hempel leaves her unmistakable signature on every residence, hotel and boutique she designs." -Sotheby's
"At the risk of stating the obvious, decorating a hotel or other public space is very different from decorating a home. It takes some serious design chops to straddle both worlds and especially to do so in a way that feels authentic." -Martha Stewart Living
"The gorgeous images allow the reader to step into the luxurious spaces that she creates and see first-hand her signature style that combines magnificence with comfort and livability." -Bill Stubbs' Blog
"If you tend to swoon over formal English gardens (like we do), exploring the grounds of designer Anouska Hempel's Cole Park estate is like entering into a fantasy. . . . In her new self-titled book, Hempel illustrates her envy-inducing green thumb in ways that are achievable in any garden." -Lonny.com
"Architecture historian Marcus Binney takes us inside the world of celebrated designer Anouska Hempel and her sources of inspiration. Photographs of Hempel’s own homes — Cole Park, the stately country home where she lives with her husband Sir Mark Weinberg along with her sophisticated London abode on Addison Road — mixed with photographs of some of the luxurious interiors she created for hotels like Blakes Amsterdam and The Hempel helps readers appreciate her style and understated extravagance." -Blouin Lifestyle
"From architecture and furniture to landscape, products and fashion, Anouska Hempel has an insatiable thirst and talent for every aspect of design." -Quintessence.com
"If I were an up-and-coming interior designer, I would inhale every page to understand how Anouska breaks paradigms with her particular work process and her visual inspirations that are often unconventional and improbable, yet thoroughly impressive." -ZavviRodaine.com
