BOOKS
RICK OWENS: FURNITURE This book offers an intimate look into the creative, personal and often secretive lives of Rick Owens and his wife, muse, and collaborator Michèle Lamy. Owens showed his rst furniture collection in Paris in 2007, which was quickly received as a direct extension of his grunge-meets-glamour aesthetic. The bold mix of material, texture and functionality proves that his own artistic universe stretches far beyond the reaches of fashion into a lifestyle his acolytes could embrace. Capturing his iconic home and headquarters at the Palais Bourbon – a space populated with the furniture that Owens has been designing since 2006 – this volume provides a unique view of the lifestyle and body of interior design work of an artist who is constantly pushing the boundaries with his personal approach to craft.
