"Ilse Crawford is beloved for her Nordic form-and-function
sensibility matched with an irreverent eye...Her firm, Studioilse,
strongly embraces primary colors, Danish modernism, and a folkloric
style that celebrates whimsy and simplicity at once. Her projects,
ranging from private homes to esteemed commercial spaces,
incorporate her respect for historical integrity and an urgency for
livability..." -Vogue
"Must-Have Coffee Table Book. Ilse Crawford, founder of the
London-based design firm Studioilse, defines her philosophy of
warm, "human-centric" interiors in a new book that displays her own
home as well as various commercial spaces that she and her team
have created. With an emphasis on comfort and practicality, she
demonstrates how to foster a more holistic life through
well-planned environments." -Harpers Bazaar "Fall's must-have
coffee-table tome stars British design icon Ilse Crawford. The
title of the book puts Crawford's work in its proper perspective.
Unlike most designer editions, the images in this book aren't
always large scale; many have the intimacy of vintage snapshots or
personal albums. Her fans, of course, will revel in the requisite
visual feast of her portfolio...Given to pronouncements both
profound and particular, Crawford is a breed apart: an enigmatic
talent and forward-thinking intellectual with humor and heart."
-Lonny Magazine "A Frame for Life showcases her
firm's powerful body of work." -Architectural Digest
"Renowned designer and style expert Ilse Crawford showcases her
body of influential, holistic work for the first time, articulating
her groundbreaking philosophies for design and living. This volume
illustrates why Crawford's design philosophy is so seminal..."
-Editor at Large "Ilse Crawford has produced a fascinating,
personal and rather contrarian book--that is rich in rewards,
challenges, ideas, beliefs and concepts, and her recent
work...closer reading of the book offers up ideas about how to
create 'design with the human being in the center'. It's uplifting
and inspiring--and the book shows examples of her international
work, for offices, hotels, residences and ateliers...the book has
poetic, quirky, quiet, and compelling moments and should be in the
library of a design firms for its point of view. A terrific
reference, a cause for vivid discussion and colloquium." -The
Style Saloniste
