Known for being an owner of the mythical Studio 54, as well as a creator of the "boutique" hotel, Ian Schrager has done much more than create, design, curate, and manage hotels, restaurants, clubs, residential buildings, and various real estate developments throughout the world: he has challenged and redefined the idea of luxury and glamour. These spaces not only become known as celebrations in design and concept, but also as destinations for evening social spaces and fabulous parties.
Ian Schrager: Design is not only a survey of the beautiful and luxurious spaces and places that Ian Schrager and his various collaborators have transformed, but also showcases the fabulous parties that have been held there. This gorgeous full-color volume presents both archival and new photography throughout Schrager's career, including hotels such as the Morgans, Paramount, Delano, Mondrian, and the famed Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City that he worked on with the painter Julian Schnabel; residential properties including 40 Bond Street and 50 Gramercy Park North; and the legendary club Studio 54.
This volume celebrates Schrager as one of the biggest design visionaries in the world of design. With over 250 photographs and texts from the most important designers of our generation—including Philippe Starck, John Pawson, and Jacques Herzog, all who also happened to have designed for Schrager—Ian Schrager: Design reveals some of the highest and most successful expressions of environmental curation to date, and will have an enduring impact on entrepreneurs, interior designers, industrial designers, and cultural communities alike.
