The Art of Modern Design
The renowned interior designers share residential projects and designs for furniture that embody their sleek and refined contemporary aesthetic
Los Angeles-based Magni Kalman Design brings its vision of clean-lined modernism and polished sumptuousness to every project, whether it's on the Pacific Coast or among desert mountains.
Here they showcase thirteen projects that blend a rich modernist palette of glass, concrete, stone, and steel, with plush textiles and blue-chip art.
A chapter on developing their luxury furnishings, which Magni Kalman approach as pieces of sculpture, offers further insight into their approach to creating highly refined contemporary spaces.
For enthusiasts of modern design, The Art of Modern Design by Jason Kalman and James Magni is a must-read, offering a deep dive into the nuanced and sophisticated world of contemporary architecture and interior design.
