UNKNO

. . . a Johnny Grey original, the Porsche of Kitchens . . . his approach goes well beyond mere architectural styling or attending to the whims of the rich and famous. With a nose for ergonomics, he is a kitchen design detective and problem-solver, first and foremost . . . he has articulated his approach to ergonomic and `sociable' kitchen design in his new book, Art of Kitchen Design, a tenet of which is that kitchens should fit the cook, not the reverse.

Crafts & Hobbies

In this book Grey explores contemporary domestic architecture to show that houses can be functional without being stark, and can embody the virtues and traditions of the past without being any less contemporary. His solutions have roots as diverse as the traditional Japanese house, Shaker workrooms, the Arts and Crafts movement and a gypsy wagon: all are practical and liveable-in. Lavishly illustrated the book offers fresh ideas and sound advice for everyone interested in the present and future of interior design.

With the help of internationally acclaimed domestic designer Johnny Grey, explore the many ways of harmoniously blending functional requirements with fine craftsmanship and humane values. Lavishly illustrated, this beautiful room-by-room tour of breathtaking -- and livable -- homes offers both inspiration and practical guidance. Begin by examining the idea of the house and the cultural changes that have affected it. Then look back to the past for design solutions that worked, and see how contemporary concepts can find their roots in sources as diverse as the traditional Japanese house or a Shaker workroom. Explore the legacies left by the Georgian period, the early Colonial home, and the Arts and Craft movement. You'll discover innovative solutions for a wide range of design "problems" like the eaves of attic rooms or a lack of storage space, and you'll enjoy page after page of incredible designs. With this exquisitely produced "dream book" in hand, you have both an exhibition of the best in international contemporary domestic architecture and a wide-ranging, thoughtful exploration of living and lifestyle on the brink of the twenty-first century.
