My eyes bounced all over the pages of this beautiful book.  There is no limit to the colors and styles in each of the over 250 pages, and if you are a lover of color, art, books, and textiles, this is the book for you!

The white-walled city of Tangier is hidden between Africa and Europe, and the interiors here are influenced by the surroundings. The designers showcased in the book would most likely agree and include Gordon Watson, Bruno Frisoni, Yves Saint Laurent, the late Christopher Gibbs, Madison Cox, Veere Grenney, and Frank de Biasi. 

Nicolo Castellini Baldissera is a talented designer, working in Italy, Paris, Gstaad, Tangier, South Africa, New York and London.  Photographer Guido Taroni works in some of Italy’s leading fashion houses and is a contributor o Architectural Digest.

Enjoy!
