In their first book, Clements Design showcases eight
outstanding residences that embody the Clements
style: understated elegance, sensuous austerity,
Zen-like simplicity, easy glamour, and grand intimacy.
Clements creates rarefied environments that
are ultra-luxurious but never pretentious. Instead,
their pared-down rooms are remarkably cozy and
relaxed due to the blend of natural materials, muted
colors, and matte surfaces and textures, especially
from wood, stone, and nubby textiles-perfect for
the indoor-outdoor lifestyle of their clients. A Clements
home is the perfect backdrop for jaw-dropping
art collections that may include Picasso, Morandi,
Warhol, and Twombly, and for entertaining in
spacious, expansive rooms populated by Rick Owens
daybeds, Prouvé chairs, Giacometti light fixtures,
Asian sculptures, and Persian rugs in pale shades, all
blended with exceptional antiques carefully placed
about the spaces. Serenity reigns over all, filling the
viewer with a peaceful calm that is priceless.
Personal accounts of working with Clements Design
and living in their interiors from, among others,
Ellen DeGeneres and Adam Levine, complement
the glorious photography. Clements Design offers a
simple life set in an environment of exceeding high
style and taste.
