TRUTH. WE HAVE BEEN

LIVING IN THIS BOOK FOR YEARS AND YEARS! TIM STREET-PORTER INTERIORS. 1981 IT WAS PUBLISHED. IT ONLY EVER GETS BETTER.

IT'S SO GOOD IT CAN VISIBLY IMPROVE AS YOU ARE

LOOKING AT IT! RIGHT THEN, HERE WE GO, OFF THE

SCALE OF ONE TO TEN!

Relatively unassuming covers. Do not be fooled. Tim Street-Porter is a great interiors photographer but, equally importantly, he photographed great interiors. It is the seeking out and the finding of the most amazing spaces that sets him apart. 
 

Tim's text to this picture talks about the long vertical blinds and the lines followed in the tiles across the floor. Rather leaving out the elephant (sized tomato ketchup) in the room. 
 

It is an interiors photography book but also a design classic. That diagonal type runs all the way through. This is artist designer duo John and Molly Dove's London flat by the way. And the book design was by Pentagram (they were the best of the best).
 

By 1981 Street-Porter was making his own home in Los Angeles. This kitchen is not his but that of Frank Gehry. And it is just about the best kitchen we have ever seen. Extraordinary example of an undesigned house. 
 

Also in the undesigned category, this adhoc office space may just be our favourite photograph in the book. 
 

There is only one interior that is not real. But we, like Tim too, no doubt, want it to be real so let's just all believe. The tall glass screwdriver double makes it for us. 
 

Mellow yellow. April Greiman and Jayme Odgers LA home circa 1979. The light box on the bed with the slides spread out.. that was the life. 
 

London again but with Sweet Dreams of faraway places. Christopher Ward and Fanny Brown's home, designed and painted by Stan Peskett. 1971. 

The book is too good. It makes it too hard to find. We have one copy and a couple coming on the way. Hit the button now and it is yours. If showing sold out, there will be an email linked to reserve one of the next copies. 

Fastest fingers first.
