In this beautifully designed illustrated autobiography, renowned designer Geoffrey Bradfield explores 50 years of inspired creativity and innovation. In this, his most personal book, he identifies his various stages as a designer and showcases his own homes in different parts of the world, fashioning them as a kind of litmus test to explore how lifestyle and personal design style converge. The narrative follows him from his early years in South Africa, to his time in London during the wild and wonderful Carnaby Street years, and on to New York City in the 1970s. There he partnered with Jay Spectre and eventually took over his business, which continues to thrive today. Over the course of his long and well-regarded career, he has accrued numerous awards, including recognition as a ‘Dean of American Design’ by Architectural Digest, and a lifetime achievement award from the New York School of Interior Design.
