Published this year by Vendome, An Entertaining Life: Designing Town and Country showcases two of the world’s most celebrated designers, Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen, as they share the inspirations and stories behind their life and work in London, the English countryside, and beyond.
Entertaining in town and country is an essential part of the life and work of Moschino and Vergeylen—as revealed in this personal and sumptuously illustrated book. They guide us through their West Sussex and London homes in a lively exploration of design, lifestyle, and inspiration, alongside a look at some recent client projects—from a Balinese-style compound in the Caribbean to a palatial villa in Sicily.
Featuring guest rooms, an office, and formal gardens, the duo’s home in West Sussex is more than simply a weekend escape. It is the perfect space for a combined lifestyle of relaxing, entertaining, and working. The London apartment, too, is witness to many a stylish dinner for clients and friends, characterized by an infectious delight in ever-changing table-settings. A selection of recipes is included to accompany entertaining-related stories.
With 250 color images from some of the design world’s best photographers, this beguiling volume invites you to enjoy an intimate experience of beauty, adventure, and the unexpected. An Entertaining Life: Designing Town and Country is available for purchase at Amazon.
