A stunning collection of twelve definitive Robert Kime projects, ranging from Bloomsbury to the Bahamas, from the Irish countryside to la France profonde. Magnificent, specially-commissioned photography by Tessa Traeger is accompanied by a text which combines illuminating descriptions of the choices and challenges involved in each project with an account of how this most cultured of designers developed his eye. With a foreword by H.R.H The Prince of Wales, this is the definitive book on Robert Kime, one of the most respected and influential English designers of our time. Review: Rober Kime's 12 projects up to '15 are included (Including then-Prince of Wales' Clarence House) - I love Robert Kime and had been eager to get my hands on the posthumous release of his 2015 book devoted to his work. It’s a lovely coffee-table volume, bound in grey textile, with beautifully photographed interiors presented in a relaxed layout and accompanied by background on twelve of his projects, including Clarence House (the then–Prince of Wales’s official residence). That said, Robert’s work deserves another book—one with a more comprehensive and up-to-date selection of projects and fuller, larger-scale illustrations. Also considering his appreciation for vintage textiles it would be lovely to see a book bound in something less grey. My book came from Windy Books and they did atrocious job with packaging - my $75 coffee-table book was packaged in a paper envelope ONLY making sure that it arrived with bent corners. I ordered a replacement which came in the same packaging and was even MORE damaged. I received kids throw away paperback books packaged with more care. Review: Outside, Inside - Lovely cover, beautiful photos1

Quite disappointed in the poor quality of the photographs which seem to be an amalgamation of a lot of already published images. I have been a fan for years and have seen some of these images in the original publications. Would love to have seen more of his fabled antique textile showrooms and current work.
