Stripes: Design Between the Lines
"Certain colors and patterns can polarize people, but it’s hard to find anyone who dislikes stripes. In her new book, Stripes, Veranda contributor Linda O’Keeffe breaks her exploration of these simple, contrasting lines into the various moods they convey—from joyous to paradoxical, tribal to structural. Collages of inspirational imagery fill every chapter, providing plenty of ideas for achieving specific looks." —Veranda"Design editor Linda O’Keeffe’s follow-up to Brilliant: White in Design, her 2011 book, looks at one of decorating’s most classic patterns: stripes. Including work by top talents such as Jamie Drake, Alberto Pinto, and David Rockwell, as well as by artists Daniel Buren, Vanessa Beecroft, and Agnes Martin, this release traces the linear motif’s history all the way back to the Paleolithic era and features eye-catching images of architecture, fashion, nature, and interiors." —Architectural Digest"Make a beeline for Linda O'Keeffe'sStripes, a straight take on an iconic pattern.... With riotous images including stripe-lined interiors from Christopher Coleman, Todd Oldham, Robert Couturier, and Mary McDonald, it's easy to read between the lines here: from Bendel boxes to zebra print, stripes are a classic; O'Keeffe walks the line with style." —New York Observer
