Riassunto:

Two talented designers combine their creative visions--resulting in a magnificent fusion of classic and contemporary styles. How do they achieve this incredible synthesis of the old and new, something so free-flowing and organic, with vibrant touches of ethnic and modern? Here are their inspirations and philosophy, and an intimate view of their process of creation. Watch Ashley's furniture and Allegra's textiles as they evolve in the studio, and how the couple brings together different elements, balances contrasting features, and introduces color, form, and texture. Finally, see the completed rooms and how they fit the needs of individual clients, from a maisonette in London to a large villa in Turin. The challenges of six problem rooms are analyzed and met. The results: sophisticated, enduring looks for the timeless interior and a unique portrait of a very special partnership.

Informazioni sull?autore: Ashley Hicks is an architect and decorator. Allegra Hicks is a decorative painter and designer of fabrics, carpets and furniture. Together they have formed an internationally acclaimed design partnership and are celebrated for their idiosyncratic design style based on a fresh approach to classical touches.
