White canvas, boldly colored fabrics in solids, stripes, and jaunty prints, rattan and cane seating, whitewashed or colorfully painted English case furniture, canopied beds, straw matting—these are some of the signature ingredients of an Amanda Lindroth interior.
Since she founded her Nassau-based firm in 2010, she has become the go-to designer of island dwellers from Lyford Cay to Antigua, Abaco to Belize, Harbour Island to Palm Beach, and as far north as Great Cranberry Island, Maine. Her airy, relaxed, indoor-outdoor aesthetic is apparent in every one of the twenty-five projects featured here.
With photographs by Tria Giovan, herself an island native, and charming illustrations by Aldous Bertram, who decorated Lindroth’s pied-à-terre in Palm Beach with stunning trompe l’oeil renderings, Island Hopping: Amanda Lindroth Design is the visual equivalent of an island getaway.

* Un empleado que cobra dos salarios de seis cifras teletrabajando, a la vez, en dos empresas diferentes.
* Individuos que ganan cientos de dólares al día apostando en todo, desde en elecciones presidenciales hasta en quién será el próximo expulsado del reality de moda.
En este nuevo mundo, cualquier habilidad o conocimiento es susceptible de ser monetizado. Incluso criando cangrejos virtuales en el metaverso es posible ganar dinero y que tu sueldo sea mayor que el de un empleo de oficina a jornada completa.
Celebrated photographer and author Ricardo Labougle takes us on an odyssey through the most superbly decorated homes in Paris. Labougle’s striking photography highlights the rich variety of Paris interiors—from classical and rococo styling to more modern interpretations of decor.
However inspiration strikes, a Paris interior will rise magnificently to the occasion, as demonstrated by internationally-acclaimed Jacques Grange’s contemporary apartment situated in a Regency palace, the innovative rustic modernism of Studio KO, Vincent Darré’s breathtaking painted wall designs, which combine XVIII-century and 1920s styles, and Jacopo Etro’s architecturally exquisite space, enhanced by mid-century décor and filled with objets d’art.
Bold combinations of primary and secondary colors; exquisitely crafted trims, embroidery, lampshades, and countless accessories (all designed by Ridder); imaginative room surfaces from silver leaf to custom stenciling. These are but a few of the signature elements of a Katie Ridder interior. Katie Ridder: More Rooms explores Ridder’s unique aesthetic room by room to underscore the astounding breadth and depth of her decorating ingenuity. The illuminating text details Ridder’s singularly creative approach to the essential elements of each room, including furniture plan, color, lighting, finishes, pattern, layering, and scale. Illustrated with specially commissioned photographs by Eric Piasecki and featuring an introduction by longtime editor in chief of House & Garden Dominique Browning, Katie Ridder: More Rooms provides endless inspiration for design aficionados.

En este imponente ensayo, el catedrático de la Universidad de Hampton Krzysztof Sliwa ha construido el edificio de la que es, probablemente, la biografía crítica definitiva del autor de El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha. Valiéndose de documentos pertenecientes al propio autor y de una vastedad de textos referentes a él, coetáneos y posteriores, Sliwa ofrece la posibilidad de acercarse a la vida del más universal de nuestros escritores. De este modo, las semblanzas del primer biógrafo, Gregorio Mayáns i Siscar (1738), el monumental estudio en siete volúmenes de Astrana Marín y los más recientes trabajos de Canavaggio y McCrory, entre otros, quedan integrados en Vida de Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.
