Description
[Todhunter Earle] bring deep English-y undercurrents to their work—restraint that summons Jane Austen; curtained window seats straight out of Jane Eyre—but their backgrounds in philosophy, psychology, and art push them to take a fresh approach to proportions, flow, the 'feel' of a room. The book looks at 18 private-house projects and is divided into three sections: country, town, and abroad. Every page holds inspiration." - AirMail
"For the last two decades, Emily Todhunter and Katie Earle's eponymous design studio has become a byword for chic, smart interiors. Now, they are releasing a new coffee table tome, Modern English: Todhunter Earle Interiors, profiling 18 private house projects for the first time." - Tatler
"This book encapsulates Todhunter Earle's design ethos: creating striking interiors in sympathy with a building's architecture." - House & Garden
Founded by Emily Todhunter and Kate Earle in 1998 and based in Chelsea, London, the design studio Todhunter Earle is renowned for creating beautiful, sensitively considered interiors around the world. With a hugely diverse mix of projects, ranging from traditional country estates and uber-contemporary town houses to ski chalets, yachts, boutique hotels, and fashionable restaurants, one key element remains constant: their commitment to imbuing interiors with passion, dedication, and sensibility to place. Here, 18 projects showcase their extraordinarily varied catalogue of work, revealing the pivotal factors and challenges encountered on each design journey.
Divided into three main sections — Town, Country, and Abroad — the book includes overviews of each project, revealing the pivotal factors and challenges encountered on the design journey. It encapsulates Todhunter Earle's instinctive approach: relaxed, unpretentious, and discreet interiors that whisper rather than shout, each one embodying the right feel for their clients. Including original photography from the studio's own archives plus specially commissioned concept illustrations by renowned watercolourist Marianne Topham, Modern English Interiors is an inspirational book to be treasured by design enthusiasts and fellow professionals alike.
