With stunning images of Wearstler's never-before-photographed interiors,
Rhapsody: Kelly Wearstler is an inspirational look at one of the most
irreverent and fascinating designers working today. ~ chictip.com The book and
her work is interesting on every page. Even when it scares me a little bit,
which it does a few times in Rhapsody . The book is about contrasts and
balance, the raw vs. the refined, graphic lines vs. sensuality, minimalist
organic modernist vs. the gaudy luxury of the 80s, it's about simplicity vs.
explosive complexity, sleekness vs. layered texture. ~ sketch 24 This latest
book follows the trendsetter behind the scenes, from creating sculpture at her
metal foundry to revealing the myriad inspirations that fuel her dazzling
residential and hotel designs. ~Daily News Los Angeles ...the book has a lot
eye-candy for Kelly's fans. Everything we love about her vibe: daring scale
interplay, brave color mixes and curious vintage finds. Did I mention a LOT of
creative inspiration? ~Design Apothecary Rather than playing it safe with the
usual suspects like Belgian linen and mahogany, she favors textured skins,
loads of leather, tough metals and exotic stones. The projects featured in her
book-all previously unpublished-share a refreshing libidinous quality. ~ Wall
