Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Arguably one of the most influential designers alive today, Christian Liaigre pioneered the use of leather sofas, dark woods and gray walls at a time when pine furniture and white plaster were considered the epitome of style—thousands of restaurants, hotels and homeowners around the world followed his lead. In this study of Liaigre’s most recent "domestic projects," Ypma presents eight houses that demonstrate "the way that Liaigre’s modern and uncomplicated signature is subtly adjusted and adapted to each specific property and location." A large family getaway in Galicia, Spain, for example, contains sliding screens made out of the same kind of woven willow that local fisherman use to make their nets. And in Soho, New York, an apartment’s master bathroom is constructed under a historic rainwater tank. Most surprising to Liaigre fans, however, may be the designer’s new affection for vivid color. Two of the houses depicted here are Liaigre’s own: both incorporate large swathes of deep red or mustard yellow into the otherwise restrained décor. Ypma’s explanatory texts are exceptionally well written: forceful, amusing and loaded with a wealth of art historical knowledge. (The introduction, for one, includes a concise summary of Louis XIV’s "hugely successful campaign to make France the dominant nation in luxury consumer goods.") "Luxe, calme and moderne," Ympa writes, are the hallmarks of Liaigre’s works; the same could be said of his book. 500 color photographs.

Supreme! If you want a single beautiful book to demonstrate what true talent can accomplish with the entire spectrum of scale in residential design__ this one is it. Liaigre has the brain-wattage to be versatile and deeply appropriate, whatever the context. So few do.

2.0 out of 5 stars reviewing a view of Christian Liagre
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2007
Verified Purchase
Christian Liagre is an artist beyond the usual confines of space filling. He always considers the architecture and site before anything else. And even though his work is immediately recognizable, he never repeats himself- there is nothing formulaic.

Nothing ever screams money. The finishes, the light, the mix are always beautiful and comfortable.

So while I got the book hoping to see a substansial review of his work, I was dissappointed in the chopiness and lack of ability to "see" the house and rooms shown. The designers work saves the book, because it is so complex and interesting. Poor choices in views and cutting off of vistas and lack of detail make the book fail.

Even though this book was published some years ago, the interiors Christian creates really are timeless and so the book is as valuable as a wonderful reference as ever.

A very un inspirational book. The pictures do not show or speak what the rooms may look like. And if this is how they do, they are very boring.
One buys a book to see and learn not to be taken by pictures about a tiny detail. Seems as if they are afraid to be copied, in that case why do they go public? To trick the buyer?

2.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful projects with beautiful photography
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2018

Very nice book, I have really enjoyed reading it.
The way photos are paged is not always very useful in the way that they have placed a lot of images in the pages and so they are quite small and some of them are repeated.
However the book is well done.
My not nice mark is due to the fact that I was looking for the most recent Liaigre's book so I bought from Amazon this publication because in the website is dated 2014. The book is actually a reprint of first edition published on 2004. It was disappointing not having this information, however, again, it is a nice book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Oh Liaigre...
Reviewed in Spain on October 13, 2017

Liaigre showcases a very refined, clean, taste but doesn't seem human nor fun/interesting.
His style shines as dictatorial and monolithic.
His pricing policy -the studio- outrageous. FYI Adolfo Dominguez is a client.
Excellent book to decorate the apartment of a bureaucrat or a government official.
