The Art of Modern Design: The Interiors of James Magni & Jason Kalman
The duo behind Los Angeles-based Magni Kalman Design have assembled a dozen gorgeous projects in their latest book, The Art of Modern Design: The Interiors of James Magni & Jason Kalman. The firm’s approach to modern luxury highlights the relationship between architecture, interiors and landscape. The dwellings, located across the country, are united in their modernist material palettes of glass, stone and steel; deft juxtaposition of vintage and contemporary furniture, among them pieces from the Magni Home Collection; and blue-chip art and singular details that express the clients’ personalities. Available through Phaidon/Monacelli.
California Coastal: Seaside Living from Sea Ranch to San Diego
Featuring roughly 250 pages of dreamy, light-filled interiors and residences with covetable ocean views, authors Heather Sandy Hebert and Chase Reynolds Ewald’s latest tome is an exhibition of design in the Golden State. California Coastal: Seaside Living from Sea Ranch to San Diego features 18 homes organized by locale: Northern Coast, Central Coast and Southern Coast. The design and architectural styles—from traditional to modern, with rustic and cottage elements represented as well—are as varied as the landscape. The book’s insights, including how the settings influenced the renovations and new builds, make it a coffee table must-have for its stunning visuals and storytelling alike. Available through Gibbs-Smith.
