It was eagerly anticipated, as I have long admired Deniot's work and even heard him speak at London's Decorex. The cover photo definitely doesn't do him justice. Even though I am not at all enamoured of mid-century design (a Deniot staple) and frequently find monochrome decorating bland, I am an unequivocal admirer of Jean-Louis Deniot's work! He is at his best when he has to work in period settings (such as the incredibly grand apartment on Rue des Saints-Pères) and use colour, managing to bridge the gap between the antique and the modern with effortless elegance. His interiors ooze quiet luxury - baby alpaca bedspreads seem to be a favourite - and are understated, chic and eminently comfortable. You can see that from the photographs alone. I remember admiring his own pied-à-terre in Paris (not featured in this review) in German AD about ten years ago. And to think he can't be more than 40... This book makes me want to remodel my own place entirely!<br />Jennifer, you'll forgive me for saying: Jean-Louis Deniot is the PEAK OF CHIC!!!
