Harlem Style: Desiging for the New Urban Aesthetic

Loved it! Full of really interesting historical information as well as beautiful photos. I leave it on my coffee table for others to enjoy!

Lovely book

I brought this book for my mom who loves interior design and she adores the photographs in the book.

Finally, a book about urban living!!

This wonderful coffee table book won't be on the coffee table long! It is chock full of beautiful pictures with practical ideas. Although many of the rooms are decidely high-end, there are several ideas that can be applied to more moderate tastes.I highly recommend that this book be added to any home design library.

Harlem Style - a great book!

If you enjoyed Spirit of African Design, then you will love this book. There are nice room pictures showing african art in primarily a contemporary design style.It's a great coffee table book for anyone who loves both African Art styles and contemporary interior design.
