An extraordinary work of bookmaking, this is the first and only book from one of the most sought-after architecture and design ateliers in the world.
Known for their discretion, Studio Sofield publishes for the first time here many of its most important houses and retail settings. The firm has originated identities and design experiences for global brands such as Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Tom Ford, Yves Saint Laurent, and Harry Winston; iconic locales from the SoHo Grand to Zero Bond; and some truly extraordinary homes. Countless notable clients call upon them for their multidisciplinary approach, refined aesthetic, and affinity for material and craft.
This comprehensive portfolio, spanning more than thirty years, is a visual journey through the culture and mood of each era of their design work in gorgeous photography and intimate narratives recounting everything from the evolution of Gucci’s identity to resurrecting artisanal stone-carving techniques for a landmark building. Whether sourcing stone with calligraphic veining for artists Helen and Brice Marden, designing furniture, or forging original hardware, Studio Sofield is adept at reflecting the individuality of each commission, from a family home to the studied ethos of a luxury fashion brand.
To open this book is to dive into its archives, where drawings, sketches, photographs, textile samples, and ephemera bring to life more than three decades of groundbreaking collaborations. Not only a most valuable resource but a beautiful object in its own right, it is printed in Germany on the highest-quality stock with a dozen generous gatefolds and the overall sublime quality that defines the studio’s oeuvre.
