François Catroux presents the long awaited first-ever monograph on the career of legendary interior designer François Catroux. Catroux is one of the last great international decorators whose oeuvre has been till now undocumented by a book. There have been many magazine articles, and his reputation is mythic, but presented here is a body of work which is both historically important and still evolving. This first volume on Catroux is a comprehensive consideration of the work and life of an international master of interior design. Catroux creates interiors that are remarkable for their disciplined grandeur, subtle majesty and, in seeming paradox, for incomparable comfort.
