Originally popularized by artists and designers, the enormous raw spaces, most often in old industrial buildings in lower Manhattan, have been laboratories for the creativity of architects. Some of the most striking and important residential design of the latter part of the twentieth century has been created for lofts. Celebrated design arbiter Mayer Rus has had unparalleled access to the most exceptional new projects. He has gathered a great variety of architects and designers -- all widely published in popular and trade magazines -- for the book: Henry Smith-Miller and Laurie Hawkinson, Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat, Architecture Research Office, and Deborah Berke. Paul Warchol's exquisite photographs, most taken especially for this volume, capture not only the design and details but the qualities of light, context, and history that make each loft unique. The engaging text highlights the designers, owners, and their residences, in addition to evoking the dramatic qualities of loft living.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49636942905617,"sku":"GOR003877682","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50299777057041,"sku":"CIN1580930131VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50764480479505,"sku":"CIN1580930131G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51134843617553,"sku":"GOR007141419","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1580930131.jpg?v=1750719485"},{"product_id":"messana-o-rorke-book-mayer-rus-9780847872473","title":"Messana O'Rorke","description":"Founded in 1996 by Brian Messana and Toby O Rorke in New York City, Messana O Rorke describe their particular brand of minimalist-infected modernism as  pragmatism,  with their approach to design capturing as much usable square footage as possible, rigorously limiting the number of interior elements, and extracting maximum impact from the chosen interventions. This distinctive approach extends to their entire material vocabulary: white walls stripped of mouldings, with recessed lighting at their perimeter; honey-toned oak floors; highly polished stainless steel railings and hardware; and marble fixtures and countertops and dark limestone flooring in the bathrooms and kitchen. With their masterful manipulation of space and judicious selection of materials oak flooring wire-brushed and lightly limed to contrast white walls but also to bring out its vivid grain, simultaneously conveying the woodworker s craft and the rawness of nature; statuary marble in a kitchen chosen for the painterly quality of the veining; architectural photography and ceramic objects adding sophisticated drama Messana O Rorke create complete environments of simplicity and serenity.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49742861533457,"sku":"NGR9780847872473","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0847872475.jpg?v=1751430998"},{"product_id":"billy-cotton-book-mayer-rus-9780847871537","title":"Billy Cotton","description":"Cotton presents rooms that mix historical and modern influences, resulting in luxuriously sleek interiors for casual, yet sophisticated, living. The glam-orous spaces many designed for art-world clients, including Cindy Sherman and Lisa Yuskavage are anchored in tradition but reflect the relaxed sensibili-ties of our time. Cotton shares his multiscaled approach to design successful turns with his varied collections, which are often included in his interior projects. Furniture, lighting, wallpaper, tableware, and terra-cotta planters are part of his repertoire. Cotton s industrial designs like his interiors embody an intelligence and under-standing of design history. This book, the designer s first, documents the groundbreaking work of a rising and notable talent and should be in the libraries of designers and connoisseurs of fine living.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49744879812881,"sku":"NGR9780847871537","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50302751047953,"sku":"GOR013409104","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51422054187281,"sku":"CIN0847871533G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0847871533.jpg?v=1751233478"},{"product_id":"david-wiseman-book-mayer-rus-9780847864904","title":"David Wiseman","description":"David Wiseman is one of the leading American designers of his generation. Produced in collaboration with the artist, this monograph offers an in-depth look at his work, through Wiseman's extensive archives, documents, and illustrations. The book features photographs of his unique sculptural objects and environmental installations, plus views of his studio and process--where the unfinished sculptures and sketches reveal a true portrait of the artist at work.  The book also shows readers many of his immersive creations that are in private homes and are rarely photographed. Wiseman's goal is creating work that brings nature indoors, ranging from small objects and sculptures to expansive installations. His signature Radial Branch chandelier, made of bronze and sculptured porcelain, is cast from fallen tree limbs he acquired on hiking trails in Los Angeles. His signature patterns and motifs reveal his deeply rooted love of the natural world--which is evident in designs ranging from faceted blow-Bohemian-glass crystal tumblers and porcelain vases to rugs, dining room tables, stools, and benches.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53075799146769,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53075799507217,"sku":"CIN0847864901VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780847864904.jpg?v=1769707131"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-mayer-rus.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
