Known for his dynamic personality and extravagant style, Vincent Darre - the enfant terrible of Paris's design world - presents a debut monograph brimming with his hallmark flamboyant whimsy, unrivaled imagination, and Gallic flair. As a fixture of the city's nightlife scene and member of its exclusive artistic circles, Darre is arguably one of its most creative residents (prior to launching his decorating career, he held posts at top fashion houses) -which comes through in his instantly recognisable interiors: think Surrealist furniture, dizzying patterns, and spirited colour combinations.

Boasting over 200 vibrantly coloured photographs, this exquisite tome takes readers on a journey into Darre's world of conversation-starting spaces. From his signature furnishings, such as the Grenouille nightstand, and maximalist use of prints (cue the Little Prince Bedroom), to his expert use of vivid hues, he offers an intimate glimpse into the singular, utterly enthralling universe of one of the design world's most eccentric, quirky, and celebrated members.
