Product Description

This book takes readers inside the world's most energetic melting pot.It has been over ten years since TASCHEN's original "New York Interiors" was published and while much has changed in the Big Apple since then, the city is still bristling with an exciting and eclectic mix of cutting-edge movers and shakers - a fact that is quite perfectly reflected in its interiors. Since Manhattan has become overrun with luxury lofts selling like hot-cakes for tens of millions of dollars, trendy Brooklyn neighborhoods such as Williamsburg have become the new destination for those looking not only for a slightly less expensive apartment but a taste of relaxed, neighborhood living (and in consequence Brooklyn's prices are starting to soar as well).Hand-picked by editor and author Angelika Taschen, this spanking new collection of interiors explores an array of homes as dizzying as the diversity of the New Yorkers themselves. Peek into the apartments of artist Terence Koh, director Spike Lee, musician Rufus Wainwright, and actress Julianne Moore - among many others - to get an idea of the myriad and marvelous ways New Yorkers love to live.

Customer Reviews

I loved the old and I love the new!
I bought the original "New York Interiors" in 1997 and it is still my favourite interiors book. Over ten years on I pick it up on a regular basis. I was so happy when I saw that "New New York Interiors" was being published, and got it for Christmas 2008. I'm already in love with it. The premise of these books (choosing artists, designers, architects etc and displaying five to six photographs of their houses or apartments) is simple, and obvious I guess, but brilliant, and the book lay-out is very well conceived. I guess they are put together for those who have a layman's interest in interior design, rather than for professionals (any interior designers out there who would like to comment on this book??) but I can't recommend them highly enough. I don't agree with the reviewer below - I don't think these properties are 'seconds' and were photographed at the same time as the ones in the previous edition, because they are far more modern.

Still prefer the original one
I thought I would splash out on this as I loved the original one so much. Not exactly disappointed but it is still not quite as good as the original. Perhaps my expectations were very high as it is more than twice the price. This one doesn't have quite the contemporary look I was hoping for in a recently published book and I think that it could possibly contain pics of places that didn't make it in the first place. Perhaps I am wrong but it doesn't have the fabulous A list of owners either.
