SPLENDOR OF MARBLE

MARVELOUS SPACES BY THE WORLD’S TOP ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS

By Karen Pearse

Foreword by Massimo Ferragamo

For spectacular drama, or simply the warm glow of organic texture, color, and pattern, marble is like no other natural material and has been favored by architects and designers for millennia. SPLENDOR OF MARBLE: MARVELOUS SPACES BY THE WORLD’S TOP ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS takes a look at the vastly creative ways marble can be incorporated into a home environment, illustrating its unique nature and the leading role it plays in interior design when luxury is the objective. Marble authority Karen Pearse has curated a collection of the most exquisite projects designed by some of the world's most prominent architects and interior designers, including Kelly Wearstler, Aline Asmar d’Amman, Karl Lagerfeld, Margherita Missoni, Juan Pablo Molyneux, Bjarke Ingels, Ryan Korban, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Robert Kime, the Haas Brothers, and Joseph Dirand, among many others, to illuminate a myriad of ways this natural material can be used. Showcasing almost two hundred stunning projects, the book beautifully illustrates the many ways marble may be utilized in kitchens, bathrooms, foyers, living rooms, objet, furniture and outdoor spaces to dramatic effect. Like marble, ROOMS OF SPLENDOR provides an abundant source of inspiration for design lovers and professionals alike.
