Book Report-Dealer's Choice.

It's been feeling a lot like "back to school" for us recently, but our reading list this fall has us buzzing and feeling rather inspired. And with copious amounts of design books headed our way in the coming months, we thought we'd share some of our favorites over the next few weeks. First up is a book that was actually published over the summer, yet one of the most impressive design tomes to come our way in quite some time. Dealer's Choice gives us an inside look at the homes of some of our industry's top trendsetters – the dealers of antiques and vintage furnishings. With text by our dear friend, the talented and handsome Craig Kellogg and a foreword by Michael Bruno of 1stdibs, the book showcases 32 houses, apartments, lofts and even a castle of dealers specializing in mid-century modernist furniture and objects, antique European decorative works, and antiquities. With homes from Blackman Cruz, J.F. Chen, Cristina Grajales, Jourdan Antiques (above photos) and Patrick Seguin (photos below) to name a few, the book is loaded with rich, colorful photography and gives an intimate look into the lives of the various occupants. This along with Kellogg's writing creates a vivid story that celebrates some of our industry's most trusted resources. We consider this book a must have for any design enthusiast and highly recommend you add this to your design library. We definitely give this one an A++.
