Kerry Joyce: The Intangible

I have a lot of interior design books, and for some reason I just didn't connect with this book.The major sections of the book include:** Beginnings: 30 pages of background on the designer** Interiors: 2 pages of text outlining basic design principles, and several pages of photos** Houses: 1 page of text and several exterior photos of homes** Eight projects: Homes across a variety of styles

Gorgeous book by a brilliant design master.. The level of love and attention to detail in the craft of this book is sublime. I have dozens of design books in my studio and this sophisticated and textural tome is simply the most well designed - Which is completely expected of course knowing that Kerry Joyce himself poured and sweat-fretted over every inch. The feel of its cover, the weight and quality of its pages, the choice of presented projects, the perfectly lit photographs are just wonderful as you’d expect- but what I found most surprising is Kerry’s voice and intimacy in the written pages.. The nuanced style that we see in his work is charmingly reflected in his writing. Kerry does a remarkable job describing his process and thoughts in an almost vulnerable way. We don’t often read design books, skimming the bold type at most, yet I found myself immersed.To view and judge a room’s design is to understand the sum of the many choices the designer toiled over to create it. The same for this sexy book: it’s a perfect companion to the perfection of this artist’s work. Kerry doesn’t thrust his ego into the spaces he creates, he lets the rooms act as a set for the families to live their lives in.. This book acts as a set for Kerry’s work and it’s exciting to have in my collection propped next to my velvet settee.

beautiful photography, high quality cover, thisck paper. Gorgeous book. However, I had to return it and the ink had such a strong smell that it pervades the room and was irritating to my eyes. I hope that this can be corrected, as it is a stunning book

Beautifully bound in one of Kerry's very handsome fabrics, "The Intangible" became a design focal point when I placed it on my coffee table. This long awaited tome is so alluring and its size so comfortable to read on my table or cradled on my lap that poring over the beautiful photographs of Kerry's lovely, varied interiors is an ongoing pleasure.!

A stunning collection from one of Americas master designers. The images are breathtaking and capture the elegance , warmth, and timeless glamour of his work. But it is the text in his own frank and open voice that makes this book so much more than your typical interior design coffee table book. Joyce offers a masterclass in good design to anyone who cares to read it. I was blown away.
