Four new titles for design lovers serve up advice, insight and just
plain escapism
CREATE veneer vases, burlap frames and customized wallpaper with
guidance from designer Todd Oldham. Hand Made Modern (Regan Books; 214
pages) includes profiles of icons like potter Eva Zeisel for inspiration.
LUSH PHOTOS abound in The Swimming Pool (Clarkson Potter; 224 pages),
which offers a peek at the pools—and cabanas, decks and landscaping—in
tony locales from St. Bart's to Nantucket and Palm Beach.
NEVER BE the last to leave a party, advises designer Lulu Guinness in
the whimsically illustrated Put On Your Pearls, Girls! (Rizzoli; 80
pages). Among her other tips: mixing couture with chain-store fashion is
just fine.
TEN LEADING architecture critics select 100 emerging talents in the
crisp 10x10_2 (Phaidon; 468 pages), which features images of such
projects as the Virgin Atlantic Upper Class Suite and Royal Albert
Hall's sleek new bar.
