BAROCKENS BOSTAD PÃ… LÄCKÓ “ SLOTT (The Baroque Quarters at Läckö Castle).

Author: Sjöberg, Lars and Josephine Brandt; Erik Cornelius, photos
Year: 1998
Country or State of Origin: Sweden

A picture book that captures the splendor of this castle during the 1600s. Stunning photographs display both the beauty of the empty castle rooms while also conjuring the former grandeur of these rooms by including examples of furniture and textiles from that period. Though the furniture was often simple in design, the elaborate textiles and decorative arts offset this simplicity to create a perfectly balanced elegance not to be rivaled elsewhere. This book is intended to complete this picture as the refurnishing of the Läckö Castle has begun with this exhibition. The catalog also includes an inventory of the art belonging to Duke Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie from 1681.

How can you do something special for your guests to make them feel as they are a queen or king at the table? This book is perfect to get that little extra something for a meal or party, to give joy and or just something to talk about! The inspiration for the book comes mainly from nature. The author Tone Rörseth has always been fascinated by the unique diversity of nature, the seasons and the wonderful treasures available for use in the forest and garden. _Here is a fun mix of fruit, vegetables, branches and moss, fabrics, feathers, pearls, silver thread, and both wild and purchased flowers. The goal is that the reader will dare to ignore traditional ideas about what is appropriate to decorate the table with, and instead dare to mix and play with different materials. The result is modern, exciting and beautiful! _A table decoration can be anything or everything! _

DESIGNING WITH LIGHT. The Creative Touch

Author: King, Carol Soucek
Year:
Country or State of Origin: New York

The fifth volume .in a series devoted to the use of design materials, this vividly illustrated book explores the wonder that light can perform on interior spaces. The book shows how designers and architects use light to vitalize objects, surfaces, and environments throughout the home. As architect Ricardo Legorreta states, “ œLight and architecture go together,“ and Dr. Carol Soucek King brilliantly reveals the importance of lighting design as an essential and often unifying element. In these resplendent pages, we see how natural and artificial light, in the past used to perform a sole function, now has a multitude of new roles. Dr. King visits over twenty-five home settings of international lighting designers that represent a complete palette of styles and applications, each reflecting the complex requirements of lighting myriad spaces.
