sought-after decorator and textile designer."--Vogue
"Décors Barbares costars [Farman-Farma's] personal spaces from the
atelier at her London residence to an 1890s house in Greenwich,
Connecticut. The addresses may be far-flung, but each celebrates
her Silk Road chic with a spirited marriage of the vibrant palettes
of Central Asia to the plum silhouettes of 19th-century
Europe."--Architectural Digest
"Farman-Farma welcomes readers into her own family homes. Spanning
from London to Connecticut to the shores of Lake Tahoe, the rooms
she has created allow viewers to travel further still thanks to her
rich and worldly array of inspiration."--Architectural Digest
"Featuring her London townhouse and studio, as well as her family
homes in Connecticut and Lake Tahoe, this volume goes inside the
mind and mesmerizing spaces of the designer and her delectable
Décors Barbares range of fabrics, antique textiles, costumes and
jewelry."--Porter
"In devising the opulent fabrics and textiles for her company,
Décors Barbares, Nathalie Farman-Farma often looks to fairytales
for inspiration, as well as particular regions of the world, such
as Persia, Central Asia, and Russia. . . . Her interiors are
real-life fairytales."--Milieu
"Maximalists will drool over Nathalie Farman-Farma's richly-layered
interiors, swathed in the patterns of her fabric house, Décors
Barbares."--House Beautiful
"Of all the big-gun design books coming out this season, none has
been more hotly anticipated than that of the textile designer and
alchemist Nathalie Farman-Farma. The pages of Décors Barbares: The
Enchanting Interiors of Nathalie Farman-Farma depict a world of
pattern upon pattern, of nostalgia for a past that Mongiardino made
grand, Zeffirelli made fantastical, but only Nathalie made sweet,
cool, and relatable."--Elle Décor
