For Karim Rashid, the dynamic young product and interiors guru, a living room is accented with a combustible mixture of hot pinks and iridescent orange. The Connecticut home of David Easton, one of the reigning kings of classic design, features a vast central space, overlooking a classically proportioned garden. Holly Hunt, the hip young West Coast designer, has married an American sensibility with French country charm in her Parisian apartment. All these homes reflect individual sensibility, which is hardly surprising, as their owners have the sharpest sets of eyes in the Western Hemisphere.

This exciting book explores the ways in which top designers look at their most personal projects and how their homes fit within the context of their work.
